To the east of the basin was a glacial zone, but there was no Glacier Giants in the area. There were only some specific small animals exclusive to the North Pole Continent, wandering and around their surroundings in groups or on their own.
Two Archers stood at a corner of the glacial zone. They stood side by side, their shoulders touching, shooting, and killing the Snow Deer in their sight.
The male Archer held an Orange bow in his hand, and it was styled magnificently. It was the Wrath of the Stars!
The female Archer had an average weapon, but she was riding and commanding a Purple-gold Combat Tiger to her combat. The damage caused by her pet alone had already exceeded the damage of that the Orange Archer.
“Huak! Huak!”
Two roars were heard from the direction of the basin, successfully attracting the attention of both Shoot Until Daybreak and Princess Huaiyu.
Shoot Until Daybreak halted his shooting and gaze in the direction of the basin. “Yuyu, it seems like someone is attacking the Glacier Giant King.”
Princess Huaiyu frowned. “Don’t call me Yuyu, it sounded weird.”
“The Glacier Giant King’s drop rate was the same as the Glacier Giant monsterlings. Since it’s such a rubbish Boss, let’s just let whoever that wants to kill it, take it. There’s no need for us to bother.”
Shoot Until Daybreak nodded. “Mhmm, you’re right, Yuyu.”
Princess Huaiyu glared at him angrily before turning away from him.
“I won’t call you Yuyu anymore. I’ll call you Princess; will that be okay?”
“That’s more like it.”
Shoot Until Daybreak smiled and fired continuous shots with the Orange Bow in his hand. In an instant, he had killed three Snow Deer.
Recently, Shoot Until Daybreak was putting all of his efforts in wooing Princess Huaiyu. Sadly, Princess Huaiyu was giving him the hot and cold treatment, leaving him very frustrated. Thus, he was always trying to find a chance to officiate their relationship.
Shoot Until Daybreak had reached Level 100 very early on, but his luck was average. He had managed to make the Orange Bow but had yet to learn any Territory skills. This time, he had come to the North Pole Continent on Princess Huaiyu’s invitation to accompany her in levelling her Territory. He would have never come to such a dull place to hunt for monsters that did not even provide him with EXP.
“Princess, what’s your Territory Skill? Can I have a peek?”
“You’ll know it sooner or later. Quick, continue killing the monsters, my EXP is increasing at a pace so slow that I’m almost dying just looking at it.”
“Huak… Huak… Ahhh…”
The roars of the Glacier Giant King were once again heard from afar. Princess Huaiyu had heard this specific sequence of growls before, and it was only heard when the Glacier Giant King was dead.
Shoot Until Daybreak’s face changed right when he heard that. “That’s so quick! The combat only lasted less than 30 seconds from start to finish. The Glacier Giant King is already dead?”
“That’s nothing. It’s highly probable that it was a party that attacked the Glacier Giant King. Don’t stand there and be astonished anymore. Quick, help me kill these monsters. You’re so slow!”
“A party?” Shoot Until Daybreak stared perplexedly in the direction of the basin, deep in thought.
Princess Huaiyu got angry. “Are you still going to help me kill these monsters? If you’re not helping me anymore, you can leave now!”
“I’ll help, I’ll help. Of course, I’ll help.”
Shoot Until Daybreak snapped back to reality and quickly showed a huge smile on his face before ferociously shooting at his surroundings.
Princess Huaiyu snorted in displeasure.
Shoot Until Daybreak thought to himself, ‘It’s nothing extraordinary if a party killed the Glacier Giant King in 30 seconds. However, if… If it was killed by one person?”
…
Li Yi stood by the corpse of the Glacier Giant King and looked at Autumn Love, who was dismantling the corpse in a frenzy. He muttered to himself, “I never expected to take such a long time. If I had known, I would’ve activated God Mode.”
“Sister Autumn, where is this mysterious cave that you’re talking about? Also, why must we kill the Glacier Giant King?”
“I’ll tell you later. Let me finish my work here.”
Autumn Love did not even raise her head at the inquiry. The skinning knife in her hand danced and flew around the corpse as it slowly shrank in size…
This Black gal’s fixation with money was bordering on insanity. When he was reminded of the pile of material that he saw previously, Li Yi felt a wave of admiration so deep that he might prostrate himself before her.
She had managed to get materials worth up to 5,000 Gold Coins in just half a month. Missy Autumn could probably apply for a Guinness World Record based on that feat alone…
Li Yi was the one that had first looted the Glacier Giant King’s corpse. It did not drop even one Ice Soul Bead but only a White Equipment. It was such a rubbish Boss that he was speechless when he found out about it.
Autumn Love took a whole 5 minutes to cleanly dismantle the Glacier Giant King’s corpse. There was not even a drop of blood or a tuft of fur left on the ground.
Autumn Love, mean as a miser, was truly a sharp one.
“Everyone thought that the Glacier Giant King was a rubbish Boss, claiming that it never drops items. Heh heh, they never knew that the Glacier Giant King’s entire body was the treasure. Everything that I just collected is worth at least 300 Gold.”
Autumn Love declared smugly before looking as if she had just remembered something. She looked at Li Yi anxiously and asked in a soft voice, “Brother Dark Wing, you won’t go and learn the art of Dismantling, right?”
“Your *ss…”
Li Yi was so pissed that he laughed at that. This Black gal was the classic person to judge others by her own standards.
“Don’t worry, even if I become so poor that I could die, I would never go around skinning things like you.”
“Then I won’t worry anymore. Heh heh, you won’t be able to learn the Dismantling skill to a level high enough to dismantle a Boss in less than a year anyway. Even if you wanted to learn it, you’ll be much slower than I am.”
“You’re the one that wants to learn it, your entire family is the one that wants to learn it!”
“Ahem, let’s not talk about that anymore. Follow me.” With a wave of her hand, Autumn Love rode on her small white horse and led the way.
In the deepest depths of the basin, Autumn Love led Li Yi into a cave.
Li Yi was surprised. “There’s a cave here?”
He had been here countless times in his past life, searching through every corner in the area. Yet, he had never seen a cave before. This was bizarre, this was bizarre indeed!
“This cave is a hidden cave, and it will only open for 3 minutes once the Glacier Giant King was dead and, heh heh, when his body has disappeared entirely. How do I know this, you ask? You should know that.”
“Closed beta players are really amazing.” Li Yi’s tone was sour.
“Huak… Huak…”
The interior of the cave was not dark. They arrived at the end after they had walked diagonally downwards for approximately 100 meters.
Around a hundred Glacier Giants sat gathered together, roaring, and growling continuously. They seem to be having some sort of meeting.
Li Yi studied them closely to find that these Glacier Giants were all of Gold Quality. They were a grade higher than the Glacier Giants outside.
Autumn Love halted her steps. “This is it. If you’re able to kill all of them, you’ll definitely be able to get a significant number of Ice Soul Beads.”
Li Yi waved his hand. “Okay, stand back.”
Autumn Love quickly hid in a faraway place.
“God Mode!”
The Hunter Goddess appeared and hugged Li Yi from behind. Even though he could not fly in this narrow cave, but his attributes would soar after the activation of God Mode. That on top of his Territory would allow Li Yi to have much higher attack power.
“Violent Bear King!’
“Roar!”
The Violent Bear King materialized. Under Li Yi’s orders, it yowled and ran towards the group of Glacier Giants.
“Huak! Huak! Huak!”
Hundreds of the Glacier Giants all stood up at once and threw their javelins at the Violent Bear King.
Poof poof poof poof poof poof…
The poor Bear King did not even manage to inflict any damage before dying tragically.
“Overlord Arrow!
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
When the Glacier Giants threw their javelins, Li Yi took the opportunity to shoot five Overlord Arrows at once.
He had let the Violent Bear King go forward first as bait for the Glacier Giants to attack. Since the Overlord Arrow’s specialty was to interrupt skills and produce shockwaves, the Violent Bear King’s death was very much worth it for Li Yi’s attack.
[Skill Interrupted! Skill Interrupted! Skill Interrupted! Skill Interrupted!]
Out of five Overlord Arrows, four of them had produced skill interruption shockwaves. Only one of them had failed.
The damage had spread out, causing the hundred or so Glacier Giants to share the damage. Their HP had dropped only by one-fifth.
Li Yi turned and started running.
“Huak… Huak…”
Hundreds of Glacier Giants roared and chased after him.
Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr!
A Quintuple Powered-up Arrow pierced through over thirty Glacier Giants in one go. All of them took over 7 million damage each.
Li Yi continued to retreat, keeping his distance while preparing to fire another Quintuple Powered-up Arrow.
The Quintuple Powered-up Arrow could kill a Glacier Giant within a second, but there were too many Glacier Giants here that were running all over the place. He could no longer kill them all with one arrow, so he could only stay back and find a chance to attack.
“Ahhhh! Don’t bother about me, I’m already in the Freezer…”
Autumn Love’s body was enveloped by a thick layer of ice. This Black gal was very smart. Instead of moving, she had directly used the Freezer (Invincibility) to evade the attacks.
Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr!
Another Quintuple Powered-up Attack was fired, and another thirty or so Glacier Giants fell again.
Li Yi took a step back to find that he was already at the entrance of the cave. However, this time, the entrance to the cave had long been sealed since the five-minute time limit had passed.
Li Yi’s feet started to spout fire as he rushed towards the group of Glacier Giants. His speed was so quick that the Glacier Giants did not even manage to react when he charged at them.
Initially, he was leading them to the outside of the cave while he attacked. Now, he would lead them back into the cave!
Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr!
Li Yi continued to retreat and attack. When he finally returned to the depths of the caves, none of the hundreds of Glacier Giants were left standing. All of them were dead on the floor.
“Brother Dark Wing, can you resurrect people? I remember that you can. Quick, quick, come and resurrect me.”
Autumn Love yelled while lying on the floor. Her Freezer skill only lasted 10 seconds. Even though she survived the first round, her Freezer time had elapsed in the second round. She was dead immediately once a Glacier Giant stabbed her with its javelin.
“I’ll resurrect you later. Hold on while I finish some work here.”
Li Yi bent down to loot the corpses. Hundreds of Glacier Giants would take him quite a long time to loot.
Ding!
[You have obtained an Ice Soul Bead.]
Ding!
[You have obtained an Ice Soul Bead.]
Ding!
…
Li Yi had acquired three Ice Soul Beads after only looting ten corpses. Apparently, Black Autumn had not lied to him. This was really a place with a very high drop rate.
“Brother Dark Wing, I don’t want the Ice Soul Beads. Please, I beg of you, resurrect me. Please?”
“I’m busy!”
“Please…” Autumn Love sounded as if she was on the brink of tears. That skinning knife of hers was already itching with thirst as she looked at the pile of corpses on the ground.
“I’m busy!”
“I’m going to cry…”
Li Yi ignored her as if he could not see her. He knew Black Autumn too well. If he were to allow her to get up now, she would not be called Autumn Love if she did not greedily take a few Ice Soul Beads for herself.
Li Yi ran a whole circle and spent seven minutes to loot all of the corpses of the Glacier Giants. He had acquired a total of 27 Ice Soul Beads.
This felt amazing!
Li Yi ran to Autumn Love’s side and resurrected her with the Cardiac Pacemaker.
Without another word, Autumn Love immediately dove to the nearest corpse, her skinning knife drawn and her eyes unmoving…
Li Yi asked, “Missy Black, how long does it take for the monsters to respawn around here?”
Autumn Love did not even raise her head. “It’s the same as the Glacier Giant King.”
“What?”
The happiness on Li Yi’s face disappeared immediately.
