Ten minutes later, Liu Yao emerged from the tomb, looking bewildered. “Where’s Zhang Yue?”
Li Xiaoyao, adjusting his silver-framed glasses, mused, “He left.”
“We were all wrong,” Li Xiaoyao analyzed. “We thought Zhang Yue was planning to use the effect of the ‘Heart of the Demon’ to deal with the Killer Mercenary Group. But in reality, he was just using it to fend off Grim Reaper Caesar’s attack.”
“This way, he could use the ten minutes during Caesar’s invasion to shake off the Killer Mercenary Group and escape the Holy Light Cemetery.”
“Brother Yao, he left us behind and went out to develop on his own,” Li Xiaoyao continued. “The Xiao Family said they don’t have enough materials to make a second ‘Heart of the Demon.’ It will take at least a week.”
“We’re doomed to wait for death in the Holy Light Cemetery.”
Liu Yao fell to his knees with a thud, unable to believe this fact.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After leaving the Holy Light Cemetery, Zhang Yue headed straight for the Capital of Death, which was for levels 25-28.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at his destination.
In front of him was a ruined city shrouded in endless darkness, exuding a strong aura of death.
Crows circled above the city.
As he stepped into the city, human skeletons littered the ground.
At this moment.
Whoosh!
In front of his eyes, a white skeletal arm suddenly emerged from the ground!
Then, with a series of eerie sounds, a skeleton monster, devoid of any flesh and holding a rusty greatsword, crawled out from the ground!
Zhang Yue used an A-grade Scouting skill.
[Skeleton Warrior] (Physical Type · Common Monster)
[Level: 25]
[Physical Attack: 565]
[Physical Defense: 390]
[Magic Defense: 380]
[Health Points: 4420]
[Skills: Heavy Slash, Charge]
[Description: A human who died at the hands of Grim Reaper Caesar. After its flesh was corroded, it turned into a skeleton and lay dormant underground. When disturbed, it will rise again…]
As expected of the Third World, the highest difficulty task in the Holy Light Cemetery!
“Even the lowest level is a level 25 skeleton.”
Looking at the Skeleton Warrior approaching with its greatsword, Zhang Yue murmured, “But with my current strength, it shouldn’t be a problem to deal with it.”
With that, Zhang Yue raised the ‘Darkness·Demon’s Eye.’
Locking onto the Skeleton Warrior, he launched an attack!
Fireball Spell!
Boom!
As Zhang Yue initiated the attack, the Skeleton Warrior suddenly accelerated, charging right up to Zhang Yue.
Slash!
The greatsword fell, striking Zhang Yue’s shoulder.
-712!
“So fast?”
“Looks like I underestimated you.”
Zhang Yue immediately used Blink to distance himself from the Skeleton Warrior while casting Ice Spike!
Boom!
The Ice Spike burst from the ground, hitting the Skeleton Warrior and freezing it.
Next, he unleashed a combo of Lightning Spell and Flame Missile.
-640! Freeze!
-728!
-261! -644 Critical! -261!
The Skeleton Warrior’s health bar dropped significantly.
Seeing the Skeleton Warrior quickly approaching again, Zhang Yue summoned the Silver Armored Scorpion and transferred 50 points of his defense to it using ‘Desperate Guard.’
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The Skeleton Warrior swung its greatsword wildly at the Silver Armored Scorpion.
-263! -79 Reflect!
-175! -53 Reflect!
-175! -53 Reflect!
The Silver Armored Scorpion was really durable!
But its equipment wasn’t great, and its health wasn’t high.
Taking advantage of the Silver Armored Scorpion stunning the Skeleton Warrior with a ‘Charge Assault,’ Zhang Yue used his basic attacks, dealing 476 points of damage each time, to whittle down the Skeleton Warrior.
After waiting for his skills to cool down.
Fireball Spell + Ice Spike + Lightning Spell combo, and the Skeleton Warrior was defeated!
“Ding~ You have killed a level 25 Skeleton Warrior, Experience Points +220, Tomb Defense Points +1, Psionic Energy +!”
Thud~
A black helmet rolled out from the Skeleton Warrior’s corpse.
“Wow, the first one dropped equipment? Looks like the drop rate in the Third World is indeed higher than in the Second World!”
Zhang Yue picked up the 9 Copper Coins and the helmet dropped by the Skeleton Warrior.
[Necromancer Helm] (Level 25)
[Quality: 2 Stars]
[Attributes: ?]
[Profession: Warrior, Knight]
[Health Points: ?]
[Description: A helmet imbued with the breath of the undead. Wearing it will grant you the power of death…]
[Note: Part of the Warrior/Knight Necromancer Set]
[Unidentified…]
The Third World is known for producing the ‘Necromancer Set.’
Set equipment is extremely rare in the Otherworld.
Not only do they have higher base attributes than common equipment of the same level and quality, but they also possess powerful set attributes!
Putting the Necromancer Helm into his storage space, Zhang Yue continued hunting the next Skeleton Warrior.
Meanwhile.
The Supreme Guild members, forced into a corner, had no choice but to retreat to the Second World to develop.
Their levels were still low, between 17-18, so there was still plenty of room for improvement in the Second World!
As night turned to day.
The next morning, Chen Jun led the Professionals of the Mist Rain Pavilion, officially clearing the Second World and advancing to the Third World!
Arriving at the Safe Zone in the Holy Light Cemetery, Chen Jun immediately opened the Feixin interface and sent a message to a friend marked as ‘Killer Peppa’: “I’m at the Holy Light Cemetery. Send a few people below level 27 to help me level up, and bring a few level 30s to protect me!”
However, a few minutes passed with no reply.
Chen Jun snorted impatiently and sent a voice message to ‘Killer Peppa’: “How dare you ignore me? Do you not want to see your daughter again? Fine, I’ll have someone deal with her right now!”
The message had barely been sent when a voice message came back instantly: “You dare! If you touch a single hair on Qiqi, I’ll wipe out your entire Mist Rain Pavilion!”
Chen Jun nonchalantly replied, “Do as I say, and your daughter will be fine!”
From the other end of Feixin, a deep male voice responded, “Complete the level 25 task and come to the north exit.”
“That’s more like it!” Chen Jun smugly closed Feixin.
Then, leading his subordinates, he accepted a task from the cemetery NPC and headed towards the north exit of the Holy Light Cemetery.
At the north exit, a group of high-level Professionals from the Killer Mercenary Group was waiting.
A middle-aged Warrior in golden armor, carrying a golden greatsword, approached Chen Jun and demanded, “Let me see Qiqi!”
Chen Jun calmly opened Feixin, started a video call, and showed the golden-armored Warrior, ‘Killer Peppa,’ a few seconds of footage before closing it.
Patting Killer Peppa on the shoulder, Chen Jun squinted and chuckled, “Remember, if I die, your daughter won’t live either!”
“Also, when you kill Zhang Yue, I’ll let you and your daughter reunite.”
With that, Chen Jun led a hundred Professionals from the Mist Rain Pavilion out of the Holy Light Cemetery.
Killer Peppa gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates, “Protect him well!”
“Yes!”
A dozen fully armed high-level Professionals, ranging from levels 25-30, followed Chen Jun.
Meanwhile, inside the Holy Light Cemetery.
A beautiful Mage girl in a light purple robe stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching the Mist Rain Pavilion team leave through the north gate.
Su Jinyan immediately opened Feixin and sent a message to Zhang Yue: “Chen Jun has entered the Third World and just left through the north gate with the Mist Rain Pavilion people.”
“But he has a dozen high-level Professionals from the Killer Mercenary Group protecting him! Also, Chen Jun is blackmailing them by holding the daughter of their highest-ranking member hostage.”
Whoosh~
Zhang Yue replied: “Got it.”
Su Jinyan hesitated for a moment before sending another message to Zhang Yue: “If you trust me… can you tell me where you are?”
Seeing no reply from Zhang Yue for a long time.
Just as Su Jinyan was about to close Feixin in disappointment.
Zhang Yue replied: “The Capital of Death.”
