Chapter 13

Yang Ye led Lilianna into the small door, and the space on the door rippled, causing the two to disappear in the blink of an eye.

Inside Hill's Mirror Space, two figures gradually became clear, and they were none other than the transported Yang Ye and Lilianna.

"Lilianna, have you been here before?" Yang Ye asked. This place was clearly different from the usual dungeon; it seemed to extend infinitely, yet there was a tangible wall blocking the way. The space here was distorted, causing a dizzying sensation.

Not far away, a short figure stood, emitting black smoke. Its physique and appearance were identical to the Hill outside, so it must be Hill's Abyssal Mirror.

Yang Ye's fighting spirit flared up. He drew his still level 5 longsword and shouted to Lilianna, "Lilianna, watch as I crush this Hill! He took a hundred gold coins from us!" Then, with great enthusiasm, he charged at the mirror Hill, glancing at Hill's attributes along the way—

Hill's Abyssal Mirror (None)

Level: 15

HP: 60,000/60,000

MP: 45,000/45,000

Physical Attack: 134~137

Magic Attack: 110~113

Physical Defense: 75

Magic Defense: 55

...

Skills: Hill's Guardian Heart: I want to protect them... my little test tubes!!! Increases all allies' physical and magic defense by 12% within a 500x500 range for 12 seconds, with a 30-second cooldown; Hill's Insight (Passive): Hmm, let me carefully examine which step went wrong... Increases Hill's critical hit chance by 4% and critical damage by 20%; Intimidate: I come from the Abyss, you bastard! Hill uses Abyssal aura to intimidate a target, causing 2 seconds of stun, with a 30-second cooldown; Doodoo Cutter: Ah... this cutter... ah, it makes a doodoo sound! Hill uses a familiar cutter in battle, with no cooldown, and the cutter has a chance to cause bleeding.

The attributes were quite formidable, but they would still fall under Yang Ye's blade, heh heh... Yang Ye laughed maniacally and charged at the mirror Hill, striking him fiercely...

Two minutes later.

"Ah, I'm about to die, Lilianna, come help me, this guy is so strong!" Yang Ye cried out pitifully. The mirror Hill's attributes weren't outstanding, but his skills were incredibly annoying. A single hit from the cutter would put you in a stiff state, making it impossible to move, and Hill would keep cutting you... Yang Ye was lucky to have a Brave Guardian to hold him off, allowing him to escape, though he was in a sorry state, far from his previous boldness.

"Ah, Lilianna, cheer for me, come on, brother! Come on, brother..." Lilianna acted as a cheerleader, cheering for Yang Ye, who felt warm inside—though it was utterly useless!

"Lilianna, stop shouting, don't you have a skill? Use it, then come and fight together!" Yang Ye had never seen this skill before; it seemed to be some kind of technological katana, though he couldn't quite remember.

Hearing Yang Ye's reminder, Lilianna nodded hurriedly, "Oh, right, right, brother, wait, Lilianna is coming to save you!" She opened her right palm, and some magical light particles began to gather in her hand, revealing Lilianna's skill—Deadly Sasquatch Techno Katana.

The air was filled with light particles, which continuously gathered in Lilianna's right hand. The area where the particles gathered began to shine with a metallic luster. The pure white light particles in Lilianna's hand grew larger and larger, and when the light ball completely enveloped her arm, it stopped growing, then split into two halves, one moving forward and the other backward. In the middle, a metallic weapon appeared...

Yang Ye stared at Lilianna in amazement, only reacting when Hill roared again. Damn, this girl's skill is so flashy, and the weapon must be incredibly cool! As expected, when he saw Lilianna wielding the techno katana, he realized just how cool and ruthless it was.

The Deadly Sasquatch Techno Katana was about 1.3 meters long, with a blade of about 1 meter and a handle of 30 centimeters. It was composed of silver, red, and black, with mechanical parts densely embedded, gears, nuts, and bolts of various sizes, all exquisitely crafted. When Lilianna swung it, a row of gears on the handle spun, giving it a strong technological feel. When the blade struck, it emitted a dazzling blue light.

Yang Ye felt a surge of excitement and couldn't help but shout, "Bloom, Lilianna's ruthless katana, slay your enemies!!" Lilianna also cheered happily, "Oh!~ Oh! Lilianna is so ruthless~"

Fighting the mirror Hill together was much easier. Lilianna took the lead, while Yang Ye supported and restrained. When Lilianna's skill was on cooldown, Yang Ye would hold off the enemy alone, with Lilianna cheering from the sidelines. Once the cooldown was over, they would fight together again.

After about ten minutes, they finally overcame the challenge. The level 10 quest wasn't too difficult, probably designed to showcase Lilianna's power to players.

The moment the mirror Hill fell, the quest completion notification sounded—

[System: You have completed the quest: Challenge Hill's Abyssal Mirror; EXP +450,000, Lilianna EXP +330,000; Reward: Lilianna's Set Component 1—Brave Sasquatch Halo Bracelet]

[System: You have reached level 13]

Damn, finally got the first piece of equipment! Yang Ye, ignoring his level, eagerly checked its attributes—

Brave Sasquatch Halo Bracelet (Bracelet—Silver Tier—Upgradable)

Equipment Level: 10

Exclusive: Lilianna

Physical Attack +120

Magic Attack +44

Physical Defense +4%

Magic Defense +60

Strength +87

Stamina +76

Bravery: As a weapon, bravery is Lilianna's way forward! All attributes +3%.

Glare: The Halo Bracelet is priceless, how about it, blinded yet? Lilianna's attacks have a chance to cause a 3-second stun.

A top-tier piece of equipment for a warrior, I really want to keep it! Yang Ye thought, feeling depressed as he opened Lilianna's equipment slot and placed the bracelet inside. A white light flashed, and Lilianna's left wrist was adorned with a beautiful bracelet.

Alright, quest completed, time to find the Terrible Frog. I promised to help their team through the dungeon. But first, let's equip the two pieces of equipment I got earlier—

Barbarian Wolf Fury Greaves (Greaves—Gold Tier)

Equipment Level: 13

+164 Physical Defense

+127 Magic Defense

Health +122

Strength +97

Stamina +69

Barbarian: Strength is the hallmark of the Barbarian! Increases maximum health by 3%.

Guardian: Is that all the strength you have? You underestimate the warrior! Reduces skill damage by 7%.

Bleed Resistance: Strong armor won't let the warrior bleed! Immune to bleeding effects.

Dawn of the Night Bracelet (Bracelet—Silver Tier)

Equipment Level: 13

+66 Physical Attack

+92 Physical Defense

+77 Magic Defense

Strength +45

Stamina +33

Dawn: Dawn is just ahead! Immune to blindness effects.

Twilight: Attacks have a 3% chance to cause blindness for 3 seconds.

These were the pieces of equipment obtained from the Bladefang Dungeon, which Yang Ye couldn't use due to his level. He also had a Gold Tier weapon he couldn't wait to use, but it required level 15.

Equipping the new gear, Yang Ye and Lilianna headed to the East District Wolf Infestation Dungeon, contacting Terrible Frog along the way:

"Frog, I'm ready, how are you guys?"

"Ah, you're finally ready? We can come out anytime. Just head to the dungeon, we'll be waiting for you here." They seemed to have been waiting impatiently.

"Alright, I'll be there soon."

...

East District Wolf Infestation Dungeon.

When Yang Ye arrived, he saw Terrible Frog waving at him from a distance. Running over, he apologized to the group, "Sorry to keep you waiting, I had some business to attend to."

"No problem, no problem. Come, let me introduce you to Promise." Terrible Frog waved his hand and pushed a mage towards Yang Ye, saying to the mage, "Come, meet this, this is Promise of Battle, the guild leader knows, he led us through the dungeon." Then he looked at Yang Ye, "Promise, this is our PPG guild leader, a 22-level mage, Fangcunshi. This is our guild's top archer, a 21-level archer, Fanbuifeng." Terrible Frog pointed to an archer.

"Hello, Fangcunshi guild leader." Yang Ye greeted Fangcunshi and nodded to the archer.

"Hello, Promise, thank you for agreeing to lead us through the Wolf Infestation Dungeon. To be honest, we've been wiped out too many times and can't get through. Not just our guild, but all guilds. So we had no choice but to ask you..." Fangcunshi smiled bitterly. It was embarrassing for a large guild to need a solo player to clear a dungeon, but since all guilds were in the same boat, it was fine.

"Fangcunshi guild leader, you're too kind. I just happened to be the leader, but the important thing is that my teammates are strong. I just coordinate, nothing to brag about," Yang Ye said modestly.

"Haha, Promise, you're so humble, I can't say anything else. So today, let's have you lead us to a victory on TV," Fangcunshi joked.

"If Fangcunshi guild leader trusts me, it's no problem..."

The conversation was pleasant, and the atmosphere was warm. Both sides were happy, as they each had something to gain. However, outside the Wolf Infestation Dungeon, there was someone who was not happy—Yang Ye's old acquaintance, Doumo Xuenu.

Doumo Xuenu was feeling extremely frustrated. He never expected to run into that warrior here. He had brought eight people to kill him before, but ended up being killed by him alone. He didn't dare to mention this, as it was too embarrassing! However, not avenging this grudge was not Doumo Xuenu's style. Today, his guild's elite team was challenging the Wolf Infestation Nightmare Dungeon, with many skilled players. How could he not take the opportunity to teach that kid a lesson?

Doumo Xuenu's eyes gleamed, and he quickly approached the leader of the Doumo guild's elite team, Doumo Yizhan, and said, "Hehe, leader, I have something to tell you."

Doumo Yizhan glanced at Doumo Xuenu and said coldly, "Speak!"

Despite the cold attitude, Doumo Xuenu wasn't angry. He thought for a moment and continued, "Leader, do you remember the time the guild leader gave gold to an NPC? The NPC was a little girl."

"Yes, I remember. What about it? Didn't you say the NPC was taken away by someone?"

"Hehe, leader, we got lucky today. I saw that guy. Look over there, he's chatting happily with PPG's Fangcunshi!" PPG and Doumo guilds were known to be at odds, and it was common for members to fight and call each other dogs.

Doumo Yizhan frowned, "What's his relationship with Fangcunshi?"

"No relationship, definitely no relationship!" Doumo Xuenu shook his head, affirming.

"No relationship? Heh, that's good. Let's go meet him!"

"Haha, leader, you're so awesome!" The plan went smoothly, and Doumo Xuenu was elated. Kid, your days are numbered!

Yang Ye was chatting with Fangcunshi about guild matters when he saw six people approaching, one of whom was his old acquaintance, Doumo Xuenu.

Yang Ye smiled. They're here to cause trouble, huh?
