Chapter Seventeen: Blood Shadow Giant Sword

  Blood Shadow Great Sword

  Blue quality:

  Attack: 20-31

  Increase 2 points of strength.

  Increase 3 points of physical strength

  Requires level 15.

  "The blood flowing on the sword reflects your inverted image."

  The experience reward for the first kill plus the BOSS's death experience allowed Ding Qiang to directly level up to 15, while Lin Yi was about to reach level 16.

  "Blue double-handed sword, my day, the lowest attack power is 20 points, too damn cool, I'm going to...” Lin Yi was incoherent with excitement as he looked at the blue double-handed sword he had just opened, and later on, he simply dragged Ding Qiang's hand, ahhing and not knowing what to say.

  "Alright, alright, it's just a double-handed sword. Look at how excited you're getting." Ding Qiang said in an unpleasant tone: "Can't your gaze look further ahead?"

  "It's been a long time since it didn't come up." Lin Yi said: "Do you know someone shouted in the channel just now how much to collect blue weapons?"

  "How much?"

  "A thousand bucks!" Lin Yi exaggeratedly stretched out one finger and said: "A full thousand bucks, damn, how long will it last me for pocket money?"

  "Sweat......" Ding Qiang said wordlessly: "Since you want it so much, I'll give it to you then."

  "Never mind, dual-wielding swords is too flashy. I'll stick with a one-handed sword and shield instead. You can have this sword."

  He shrugged and casually put the sword into his bag.

  "Oh no, another blue outfit..."

  Looking at the equipment interface on that blue armor leg guard with an additional two points of intelligence, Lin Yi was overjoyed and couldn't close his mouth.

  In addition to these two blue-quality weapons and armor, the BOSS also dropped two pieces of green-quality clothing. However, their attributes are quite ordinary, with one piece adding 1 point of strength and the other adding 1 point of intelligence, which just happened to suit the two people, each taking one piece.

  "Are you coming again?" Lin Yi asked with full expectation.

  "Hmm..."

  At this time, Lin Yi suddenly seemed to have received some news and said with a somewhat dejected tone: "Damn it, Liu Tao's people are guarding the body, they're calling for people in the chat room."

  Ding Qiang didn't log in to the chat room, but he was always there.

  "Guarding a corpse?" Ding Qiang was taken aback, looking at Lin Yi with some confusion: "What? You still want to go save them? I remember you're not that cheap, are you?"

  Although the game settings allow for direct resurrection at the Revival Temple, that method of resurrection would leave players with a six-hour weakness period, during which all player attributes are reduced by 70%, basically making it impossible to do anything. Therefore, in the early stages of the game when every second counts, letting them resurrect weakly is clearly not an option.

  But the other party is a classmate, and he just snatched a BOSS from him, Ding Qiang doesn't think Lin Yi is such a generous person.

  "Damn it, I'm so kind-hearted... anyway..." Lin Yi said with a sudden bitter smile: "Maple, this time it seems we have to go after all."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Your wife has also been caught."

  "Who?"

  "Li Yan, Cha Cha, she was also being guarded there..."

  "Alright." Ding Qiang sprang up and rushed out of the deputy's office.

  "What's going on?" Lin Yi shouted from behind.

  "Get out of here..."

  Liu Tao was being watched, and that's what he deserved. Ding Qiang didn't even bother to reason with him, but if Li Yan were being watched, then he would go take a look, to see who had the nerve...

  Following Liu Tao's coordinates, the two of them left the copy and rushed quickly towards their destination.

  ……

  In a clearing in the woods, about ten people from Class 3 and Class 4 were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner, while around them was another group of people.

  Most of the students in Class 4 of Senior Three had just transferred from Newbie Village and some of them hadn't even fully equipped themselves yet. They rushed over to die excitedly with a wave of their class monitor Liu Tao's arm...

  The dozen or so people surrounding them, whether it was the equipment on their bodies or the weapons in their hands, looked a grade higher than theirs at first glance. Especially the warrior leading the way, the shield in his hand emitted a blue glow, and it was actually a blue-quality shield.

  Equipment is no match for a good home, and people are no match for a large family. Being guarded by a corpse is also a matter of course.

  Lying on the ground, Liu Tao suddenly cursed loudly: "Damn it, you few idiots, I remember, don't fall into my hands."

  "Haha, this kid still doesn't give up?" A warrior carrying his weapon said disdainfully: "Can't even stand up straight, and he's still shouting."

  "My old man didn't want to get up, and a few of his grandsons were keeping an eye on him for him. He was lying comfortably on the ground." Liu Tao muttered.

  Although he said so in his mouth, but in the team channel, he whispered: "I count three two one, everyone stand up and kill them."

  "Hmm." Everyone responded in unison.

  “3……”

  “2……”

  “1……”

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The classmates of Class 4 in Grade 3 were very unanimous. After Liu Tao finished shouting, more than a dozen people stood up with a loud noise and then rushed towards the surrounding players like a swarm of bees.

  Charge!

  Fireball!

  Assassination!

  Take aim!

  Even Chacha, who had just leveled up to level 10, or Li Yan, was controlling a fluffy little dog that charged towards a warrior not far away.

  Unfortunately, the difference in level was too great. The warrior kicked out with one foot, and the little dog let out a mournful cry as it was kicked into mid-air, only to be sliced into a white light by the warrior's knife...

  All sorts of magical skills instantly filled the entire clearing in the forest, and the students from Class 3-4 were brave but lacked strength. After all, their souls had only revived with 30% of their life value, so it didn't take long for them to fall back down to the ground one after another.

  No way, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, especially that leading warrior, his defense is extremely high, and some of Class 3 and 4's attacks on him can only take away one or two points of blood...

  Lying on the ground, watching his classmates all die again, Liu Tao felt a secret joy in his heart. Although he had shouted loudly just now, he didn't actively resurrect because he felt that he wasn't a match for the opponent. After that, people came and went, fighting fiercely, standing up and falling down, but no one noticed whether he had resurrected or not.

  However, if you want to keep it a secret, unless you don't do it yourself. Just when Liu Tao thought no one had noticed his little trick, the warrior who had just sliced the tea dog with one sword walked up to him and asked, "You scolded so fiercely earlier, why didn't I see you when you revived?"

  "What's wrong with you? Didn't you see that I've come back to life? My glove even fell off just now." Liu Tao scolded.

  "Has he revived?" The warrior asked, turning his head.

  "I don't know." The people around shook their heads and said: "There are so many people, how can we notice?"

  "Flip through the battle records and see if there's a system record of him being revived..." The warrior ordered.

  "Day..." Liu Tao felt depressed.

  The answer came out soon.

  The warrior, called Shén Jì Dá Rén Xiù, burst out laughing: "Haha, I thought you were a man, but you're actually so pathetic. Listen up, you bunch of little guys, go ahead and revive him, I despise people like this the most. Today, I'm going to take him down."

  "Damn it, is this guy an idiot?" Liu Tao cursed in his heart while shouting in the team channel: "Everyone, don't listen to this guy's nonsense..."

  No matter how he shouted, many classmates still stood up and left quickly. It's not that they wanted to die, everyone came to play games, not to be abused. The cause and effect were unknown, but they had already died several times for no reason, losing several pieces of equipment and a lot of experience. So most people soon slipped away quietly.

  After a while, there were only a few people left on the ground who usually played well with Liu Tao, plus...

  "Tea, haha, why didn't you leave?" Liu Tao said with a joyful heart.

  "We are classmates and should help each other out," said Cha Cha, "but leaving like this doesn't feel quite right."

  "Huh, yeah, yeah..." Liu Tao's two best friends immediately agreed.

  Five people stood there chatting idly and guarding the corpse.

  Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the nearby woods, and then a figure emerged from the trees. The person had their hands behind their back, carrying two heavy swords, and was fully equipped. It was Ding Qiang, who had arrived at the coordinates.

  "How did it end up with just a few people left?" Ding Qiang muttered, looking at the number of corpses lying on the ground.

  "What's wrong? Who are you?" Shen Jidao asked in a daze.

  "Was it him who killed you?" Although Liu Tao and Chacha were among the few who had died, Ding Qiang knew that their souls should still be lingering nearby, watching him.

  "That's right, it was those guys who killed us and then guarded our corpses... BOSS..." Liu Tao hastily said, although he didn't know who this warrior was, but he caught sight of Lin Yi who had just emerged from the woods not far away.

  This warrior must have been called over by Lin Yi to help... Liu Tao immediately guessed the truth of the matter.

  Before he could finish speaking, Ding Qiang had already turned his head and rushed towards a few people not far away.

  "What the...! Where did this little brat come from?" Seeing that the opponent, a lone Not-So-Strong, was charging over, Godly Movement's eyes widened in surprise, but then he laughed: "Don't move, any of you. I'll go take care of this kid."

  "Be careful, don't get taken advantage of."

  "Shut your crow mouth..."

  Divine Reach's defense has reached as high as 70, and his life is nearly 300. At this stage, he can be considered a highly qualified meat shield. With this set of equipment, even if he were to go against the fierce flames of the canyon, it would not be a problem.

  With a whoosh, he saw that his opponent had already entered the charging distance. Shen Jiyu quickly flashed and accelerated out of the way.

  Boom!

  At the same time, both of them used a charge and instantly bumped into each other, with stars circling their heads, and they all entered a three-second daze.

  3……

  2……

  1……

  In his heart, he was secretly counting down the time. In the instant before he lost consciousness, a cold light flashed in Shen Jie's eyes, and one sword struck out at the opponent's calf.

  Paralysis: Reduces target's movement speed by 50%.

  However, his opponent seemed to have anticipated this move and took a slight leap backward, dodging the attack while simultaneously propelling himself forward with great force, charging straight into his chest...

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! A triple slash in the shape of a "zhi" character, three terrifying numbers appeared on Shen Qi Da Ren Xiu's head, totaling over 300 points of damage, instantly killing him. His shield also dropped due to bad luck.

  "Damn it..." The crowd that was originally waiting to see a good show suddenly froze and immediately rushed towards Ding Qiang.

  Ice Arrow!

  Slow Arrow!

  ……

  Just as these attacks were about to hit Ding Qiang, a red light flashed on his body, and he suddenly activated Bloodthirsty Charge, entering the state of dominance.

  Boom!

  At this time, Ding Qiang was like a human tank, directly crashing into the opponent's camp.

  Going all out, Ding Qiang, holding the Blood Shadow Giant Sword, could cut off nearly a hundred points of life from Shen Ji Da Ren Xiu with one strike. The leather armor in front of him was even more insignificant, let alone the peerless great general Lin Yi by his side, who could temporarily act as a small nurse to heal him back to health.

  ……

  Two knives in one go, without a moment's delay, the remaining few people also followed God Trace Daoren and fell to the ground...

  Those people who were previously beaten to the point of incontinence by Class 3 and 4, were actually all knocked down in the blink of an eye under Ding Qiang and Lin Yi's coordination.

  This difference in understanding suddenly left everyone stunned and speechless.

  Looking at Ding Qiang standing there with a heavy sword in his hand, like a god descending from heaven, Chacha lying on the ground had an inexplicable feeling...

  As the crisis was lifted, Liu Tao and several others also stood up one after another. After recovering their vitality, Liu Tao walked over to Lin Yi and said, "Lin Yi, aren't you going to introduce this expert?"

  "Ah..." Lin Yi burst out laughing and was about to drag out the sound, just as he was about to say Ding Qiang's name, he caught a glimpse of his opponent staring at him with wide eyes. He hastily chuckled and said: "Just met friends, just met friends."

  Because there were still duplicates to brush, plus I really didn't want to bother with Liu Tao, so when Cha Cha, also known as Li Yan, revived and came back, Ding Qiang turned around and was about to leave.

  Just as Ding Qiang was about to leave, the extremely handsome Lin Yi also hurriedly followed him.

  Just followed Ding Qiang for a few steps, turned back to see Liu Tao and several people standing there motionless, couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What are you guys still doing here?"

  "Oh, we were blocked by him for so long just now. I'm not going to swallow this, I must block him a few times." A broken heart symbol appeared on Liu Tao's head.

  "What are you going to do?" Looking at Chacha standing beside him, holding his staff and looking dazed and unsure of what he was thinking, Lin Yi suddenly felt that something was off.

  "Hmm... I don't know either......" Chacha just came out of the newbie village and ran here according to the coordinates, now she doesn't even know how to get back to the main city.

  “……”

  "Kill them a few times and then let's go level up together." Liu Tao hastily said: "I just received an elite mission, we can all do it together."

  "Oh, okay then." Chacha replied absent-mindedly.

  He sighed and stopped in his tracks.

  Looking at ChaCha standing there stupidly, she secretly scolded her for being a silly girl and then asked: "Beauty, are you going down to Lieyan Gorge?"

  "Flaming Gorge Canyon?" Liu Tao suddenly came to his senses, his eyes shining brightly: "Gao Shu brother, are you going down Flaming Gorge Canyon?"

  "Sorry, it's full," Ding Qiang said lightly. If they weren't classmates, he would have taken him down with a single knife based on what this guy did to Lin Yi, let alone follow him to do another instance? Dream on!

  "Flame Gorge Canyon?" Chacha had read the official introduction and knew what it was, so she excitedly asked: "My level is low, can I go?"

  "No problem." Ding Qiang nodded and said.

  "Then I'll go to the next instance." With a wave of his hand to Liu Tao and several others, Cha Cha followed closely behind Ding Qiang and soon disappeared from their line of sight.

  Withdrawing their envious gaze, Liu Tao and his several sworn brothers returned to their full life, and began their great career of guarding the corpse.
