Winter Sun City.
I switched over to the Paladin account and my armor was shiny. I held Silver Ocean Sword and my cape danced in the wind making me look really handsome. Not long after I headed out of the north gate, I received a message from Mundane Slaughter, “Seven, we have used up most of our poison, especially the level 3 Throat Sealer and the level 4 Heartloss Powder, can you make a batch for us when you are free? You know right, we are a pure Assassin guild and we have a huge need to apply these poisons to our weapons.”
“Nice!”
I nodded, “But it is tough for me to collect all the materials and it is a huge waste of time.”
“Understood so send me the list, I will send brothers to collect. That is the best and wouldn’t stop you from training. What do you think?”
“Okay.”
I smiled and sent the materials for the two poisons as well as the drop location, “Tell them to collect based on the ratio so it makes things faster!”
“Great, when should I craft them for you? Store them in your storage, I will find you when I am done.”
“Sure!”
I switched off my device and felt happy. Level 3 and 4 materials weren’t easy to get. The Poison Arrow Wood came from Hundred Poison Forest, Chancetaker Grass from Ocean Wind Forest and they were easy so if Mundane Slaughter led people to collect, the amount obtained would be unimaginable. I could also use these poisons to help raise my skill familiarity so there was no need for me to refine the harder Midnight Ecstasy to raise my skill level. I would kill two birds with one stone!
Maybe with everyone’s help, my Poison Refining Technique could reach level 10 quickly!
…
I passed many different forests and not long later, I arrived in a snowy region. From afar, the north wall stood between the steep mountains and snow covered everything. Even the north wall was covered in snow and it looked like it was entirely made of snow. The moment I arrived, the soldiers allowed me through. Winter Sun City players could pass through here and it was really convenient.
I continued forwards and not long later, I saw Extreme Dust Mountain.
After the last battle, Pioneer Army suffered heavy losses at Extreme Dust Mountain and no one knew how long it would take those seven waves of monsters to spawn again. The humans also suffered bad losses. I heard that over 70% of the losses will spawn again. From afar, a new wall had been built and the flags on it fluttered in the wind. From afar, I could see soldiers holding spears that were walking around the walls.
So it seemed like we won the battle of Extreme Dust Mountain and the enemy’s attacks were totally crushed!
…
After Extreme Dust Mountain, I continued north for another ten minutes before moving north west. Not long later, the map suddenly changed. The snow turned into an endless blood color and I was already in Pioneer Forest. A short few seconds later, I saw two blood covered cavalries galloping over. They shouted, “Despicable humans, you dare to enter Pioneer Forest? You are asking for death!”
After saying that, they waved their swords and charged over.
I was lazy to waste time with them. I used Assault to change directions before instantly switching to my Assassin account. White Cloak flashed and I disappeared into the snow. With my stealth ability, these dumb blood cavalries definitely wouldn’t be able to find me.
Thus, I followed the forest to the northwest. Although I was in stealth but I left a shallow footprint on the ground. But it was fine, most of the monsters weren’t smart!
Just like that, after ten minutes, the scenery around changed once more. The snow stopped and the sky was filled with warm air. The forest ahead was filled with life once more and it seemed totally different from the north region. Pioneer Forest really was different, the power of hell changed the environment and the weather.
In the distance, an undead archer holding a blood colored bow looked around. They were monsters that spawned in Pioneer Forest. Level 110 and compared to the level of current players, they were quite terrifying. They were monsters that shouldn’t be attacked but for me, they were just so-so. I was level 104 so it was best if I killed monsters that were 6 levels higher.
But I didn’t waste time on them, I had to get to Beast Corpse Mountain!
…
I walked forwards for another 7-8 minutes.
Ahead, a canyon appeared at the end of the forest. At the same time, there was a decomposing scent in the air. That stench made me switch off the smell system right away. It was as if I was wearing a high tier mask and I couldn’t smell anymore. I pulled out my daggers and jumped right in.
Beast Corpse Mountain, I was here.
Within the canyon, various corpses stacked up like a mountain. Not far from me was a cow-like body whose white bones covered the land. Its two rows of ribs faced upwards into the sky and they were at least 50 meters high and it made one feel like one had gone back into history. Around this cow, many vines had grown out and there was even a ten-meter tree that grew from the gaps, greedily enjoying the sunlight from nature.
I frowned and continued forwards with my daggers. My target was Fire Gold Stone and nothing else as they weren’t able to attract my attention.
I continued forwards.
Search h0sted n0vel for the original.
After walking close to a minute, I saw a corpse laying ahead in front of me. It wasn’t totally decomposed and it had a shape of a crocodile. From head to tail it was above 30 meters and it was huge. The shell on its spine was decomposed and many holes appeared. The sun shone in and continued to oxidise. It was probably very smelly.
With Shifang Flame Spiral Eye, the monsters’ introduction appeared.
Metal Swallowing Beast, a giant beast that went extinct during the ancient era. Who knew that its corpse would decompose for ten thousand years but is still decomposing. At this moment, the stomach of this Metal Swallowing Beast was buzzing and then clanging like someone was mining within.
I started to get wary. I held my daggers and walked over carefully.
At that moment, a few small bodies jumped out from the hole on the side of the Metal Swallowing Beast. They were dwarves with red patterns on their bodies. They wore a thick and rough cotton shirt and their heads had a red helmet. They held stone hammers and shovels and their shoulders carried metal that shone gold!
Moreover, these dwarves were my quest target, Blood Goblin!
However, they didn’t notice me and continued to jump out with the gold on their shoulders. They jumped while singing, “One shovel and one hammer, going home with profits~~~ I walk around Pioneer Forest, I am the best house mover~~~”
My head felt numb and all of a sudden I found them so cute that I didn’t want to kill them.
But in the next moment, they continued to sing, “Human heads are going to split open, hammer them like pumpkin~~ Pioneer Forest’s owner, hammer the soul out of humans~~~”
Okay, they gave me a reason to kill them.
“Peng!”
A dark streak flashed across and I used Dark Shadow Jump on the back of one of them. I raised my dagger and used Apprehension+Hunter’s Edge. These Blood Goblins were covered in damage. Although they were level 110 Legendary Grade Monsters but their stats were just average, they were definitely unable to compare to the higher tier monsters in the battle of Extreme Dust Mountain. If Blood Goblins were strong enough, with the size of their race, Pioneer Valen would have recruited them into his army.
“Ahahaha~~~”
All of a sudden, the Blood Goblins jumped all about but they were unable to flee from Seven Star Blade. Blade light danced about and dealt with the goblins. In a blink of an eye, dozens of them fell to the ground and 3 helmets were dropped. The drop rate was around 25% and to collect 1000 helmets, I had to kill a large amount of them. But it was still okay, I had a lot of time.
…
In the valley, the only thing there was were Blood Goblins. Some were digging for metal in the bodies of the beasts, some were moving bones, some were shifting stone. Anyways, they wanted to shift everything to their homes. It was a really busy sight.
Kill them all!
This continued. Anyways I didn’t know which beast had Fire Gold Stone hidden within so I shall clear them all. Anyways I had time. The Blood Goblins gave decent experience points too and it was good to level here. At the same time, when I killed them, they sang in a joyful manner so the leveling process wasn’t so boring.
…
Just like that, I continued until noon before eating a lunch box with Ah Fei. I continued in the afternoon.
This continued until 3 pm. Right when I cleared a bunch of Blood Goblins, I noticed a red glow shining on the walls ahead. On close look, it was a stone chiseled into the wall. I jumped up, my body was light as a swallow as I stabbed my dagger into the wall. I pried and a palm sized stone landed in my palm.

Fire Gold Stone!
This was a translucent stone and in it were streaks of golden flames. They looked beautiful and bright, as expected from a level 7 material!
I sucked in a deep breath and waved my daggers to slice the surface layer of this cliff. Along with stone scattering and falling off, everything buried appeared in front of me. It was a giant beast’s bone and the body was buried in the mountain. This giant beast should have been buried when the tectonic plates move, and its body had Fire Gold Stone inside!
It seemed like I would have to open a mountain today.
Work!
