Chapter 61 – The Capital of Death


The contents of the letter left Zhang Yue in shock, unable to calm down for a long time.

Who sent this envelope?

Why does the sender know Zhang Yue’s identity?

And for some reason, his intuition told him that the person who sent this letter was closely connected to the one who wiped out the Killer Mercenary Group last night!

Upon receiving the letter, Zhang Yue’s first reaction was: This place is no longer safe!

He quickly packed his things and left the house within ten minutes after the courier had gone.

He got into a taxi.

“Where to, young man?”

“Anywhere.”

“Any… anywhere?”

The driver was taken aback but started the engine.

After driving around for twenty minutes and confirming he was far from his original location, Zhang Yue got off the taxi midway.

Through an agent, Zhang Yue quickly found a new place to stay.

It was a residential area near the city center: Shiyue Yating.

Soon, Zhang Yue moved into Building 3, Apartment 507.

At this moment, Zhang Yue was still thinking about the Killer Mercenary Group’s fate and the letter.

Until Su Jinyan sent him a Feixin message: “Zhang Yue, where are you? You promised to help me in the Third World, but you’re flaking out! It’s already past nine!”

“On my way.”

After replying to Su Jinyan, Zhang Yue lightly touched the mark on the back of his right hand for three seconds, opening a portal and entering the Otherworld.

In the Holy Light Cemetery, a girl dressed in a purple robe with long hair cascading over her shoulders, looking like a fairy from a painting, stood quietly in one spot.

Passersby couldn’t help but glance back at the girl.

Zhang Yue walked over and joined Su Jinyan, and the two headed towards the Capital of Death.

Su Jinyan still had an unfinished quest in the Capital of Death, so they decided to complete it first before tackling the Third World boss!

Meanwhile, Zhang Yue sent a Feixin message to Liu Yao: “Bring two people to take the Capital of Death quest and meet me there.”

Liu Yao replied immediately: “Got it, bro!”

On their way to the Capital of Death, Su Jinyan said sadly, “They finally reunited as father and daughter…”

“Chen Tianqiang is too ruthless! He didn’t even spare a little girl!”

“And everyone knows it was Chen Tianqiang who did it, but without evidence, the police can’t convict him…”

“It’s not that simple,” Zhang Yue said. “Some things can’t be judged by appearances alone.”

“I’m afraid if it really was Chen Tianqiang, his next target might be you!” Su Jinyan said worriedly. “Because he knows you have a grudge with Chen Jun.”

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Yue said. “I can protect myself.”

Soon, they arrived at the Capital of Death.

Looking around, they saw many level 20 professionals from the Holy Light Cemetery starting to venture into the Capital of Death.

This place was ideal for collecting the Necromancer Set!

A team of five level 20 professionals could handle level 25 Skeleton Warriors without much difficulty.

As soon as they stepped into the Capital of Death, a black-armored knight and a silver-armored warrior approached Su Jinyan:

“Hey beautiful, want us to help you fight skeletons?”

“No need, I have a teammate,” Su Jinyan politely declined.

The two male professionals glanced at Zhang Yue and sneered, “This guy? A Beast Tamer with lower damage than a Priest, less defense than an Assassin, and slower than a Mage? Can he even handle Skeleton Warriors?”

“Your teammate is useless. You’d be better off teaming up with us.”

Just then, a wealthy-looking warrior in golden armor rushed over: “You dare hit on my brother’s woman?”

It was Liu Yao!

Along with Li Xiaoyao and a level 20 Priest, Supreme Healer.

“We weren’t hitting on her, just couldn’t stand seeing a flower stuck in cow dung.”

“You dare insult my brother?” Liu Yao rolled up his sleeves and shouted, “Xiaoli, beat them up!”

Li Xiaoyao glanced at Supreme Healer: “Healer, go ahead. If you die, the Guild Leader will compensate you three thousand.”

Supreme Healer raised his staff, ready to fight!

At this point, the two professionals decided not to cause any more trouble and left.

Zhang Yue didn’t mind and immediately formed a team, adding the four to the group.

Before the battle began, Liu Yao analyzed seriously: “I’m the only melee fighter. I’ll tank the damage, you guys focus on output, and Healer, keep me healed!”

“Watch your positions, don’t let the Skeleton Warriors hit you!”

“No need for all that.”

Zhang Yue said, summoning the Dark Skeleton King and using the set skill to call forth Skeleton Warriors.

He commanded them to attack.

Whoosh!

The Dark Skeleton King charged forward, slashing at a Skeleton Warrior, then used Taunt to draw the aggro of three more Skeleton Warriors.

As the three Skeleton Warriors attacked, the Dark Skeleton King activated Shadow Sword Array.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Ten shadow swords descended from the sky, forming a circle, trapping the four Skeleton Warriors and dealing 667 damage per second!

The four Skeleton Warriors attacked the Dark Skeleton King.

But with only 560 attack points, they couldn’t break through the Dark Skeleton King’s 660 defense points!

Each hit only caused -1 mandatory damage, displayed above the Dark Skeleton King’s head.

Meanwhile, the Skeleton Warriors summoned by Zhang Yue joined the fray, dealing 700-800 damage per hit to the Skeleton Warriors.

From the rear, Zhang Yue wielded his 3-star golden Necromancer’s Staff, casting spells with his high agility of 151!

Boom, boom, boom!

-2017!

-1823!

-3510 critical hit!

The high damage instantly wiped out the four Skeleton Warriors with only 4420 health each in the Shadow Sword Array!

Liu Yao and the others hadn’t even started attacking when they received four notifications of battle rewards for killing the Skeleton Warriors!

Liu Yao exclaimed, “Holy crap.”

The silver-armored warrior and black-armored knight who had mocked Zhang Yue earlier, along with other solo professionals fighting skeletons nearby, were stunned!

“This guy… what kind of damage is that?”

“Our five-man team takes a minute to kill one Skeleton Warrior, and he wipes out four in a second?”

Seeing that Zhang Yue was a big shot, the surrounding solo professionals tried to join his team but were all rejected.

Zhang Yue then led Su Jinyan, Liu Yao, and the others in a relentless slaughter of Skeleton Warriors.

Killing three or four at a time, their experience bars, quest progress, and tomb defense values skyrocketed!

The Dark Skeleton King was excellent at drawing aggro and tanking damage!

This pet, acquired by defeating a boss, was incredibly strong!

Soon, they killed 300 Skeleton Warriors!

Next, they entered the level 26 Skeleton Archer area.

Skeleton Archers had much higher attack power than Skeleton Warriors, but they still couldn’t penetrate the Dark Skeleton King’s 600+ defense!

Just like before, they wiped out groups of Skeleton Archers in no time!

Next.

Level 27 Skeleton Shield Guards, wiped out!

Level 28 Skeleton Mages, wiped out!

With a full set of level 25 Necromancer gear and the Rare Grade pet Dark Skeleton King, Zhang Yue could easily crush any monster below level 30!

Su Jinyan and the others mostly followed Zhang Yue, doing little work.

Liu Yao spent the whole time cheering them on.

By the end of the day, they had killed 1200 skeletons, helping Liu Yao and the others complete their quests.

Just in time, it was six in the evening.

Su Jinyan and Liu Yao returned to the Holy Light Cemetery to submit their quests, earning 250,000 experience points each, leveling up to 22-23!

Additionally, they completed the world quests “Collect 2000 Defense for the Tomb” and “Complete a Quest with a Difficulty of 300 or Higher.”

They agreed to log off for dinner and regroup in the evening to tackle the Third World boss.

After logging off, Zhang Yue planned to eat at a restaurant downstairs.

As he opened the door, he smelled a strong, cheap perfume in the living room!

Frowning slightly, Zhang Yue went to the balcony to open the window for ventilation.

At that moment, he noticed a pink… undergarment hanging on the shared balcony with the adjacent room.
