Chapter 54: Nagato Storm Sorcerer

  Under the dim sky, Sword Saint Lantis treated the broken sword in his hand as a stick and listlessly hit the pebbles in front of him.

  Hearing footsteps coming from outside, he hastily stood up straight, put away the broken sword in his hand and adjusted his posture.

  Entering the cave, the task appeared, and Ding Qiang presented the task.

  "Already finished with this task?" Lantis looked at Ding Qiang with a hint of skepticism, carefully examining the task item he handed over.

  After repeated scrutiny, even the fastidious Lantis had to admit that the other party had indeed fulfilled their requirements satisfactorily.

  "Not bad, capable young man, has my former style..."

  Ding Qiang had an urge to draw his sword and kill the other party with one slash, after all, he wasn't a rookie in doing such things.

  It seems that Lantis sensed the killing intent emanating from Ding Qiang's body, and after a chill ran down his spine, he immediately stopped boasting and said with a serious expression: "Young man, your strength has already been recognized by me. Next, as long as you can prove your strength to the God of War, you will be able to obtain the power you desire."

  "On the other continent to the east of this great land, there exists a creature known as Sword Toothed Tiger. Go, young warrior, and slay the strongest among them, prove your existence to the God of War."

  ……

  Throwing down the still self-boasting Sword Saint Lantice, Ding strong opened the map and took a look, then rushed towards the coastline closest to himself.

  Most vocational transfer tasks are tedious and complicated, even if they were cleverly obtained from Lantis.

  Among several continents, they do not border each other. Between them, either the deep sea blocks the way or an uncrossable chasm intercepts. Although the chasm can be crossed by flying mounts, and even if the level is not reached, flying mounts can be rented from NPCs. However, at present, the most economical way is still to rent a boat at the seaside to cross over.

  On his way, a message came in, and Ding Qiang opened it with some confusion. It turned out to be Lin Yi, whom he hadn't contacted for some time.

  Ever since joining the Judgment Sword, Lin Yi, who chose to be a Holy Knight under Ding Qiang's suggestion, has become a darling. Every day, apart from participating in activities, he is leveling up with the guild's main force and has already become a core member of the Judgment Sword.

  "Qiangzi, what's wrong?" Lin Yi asked.

  "Just messing around, what's up?" Ting Qiang replied, having easily taken care of a small monster that had blocked his path.

  "May I ask you something..."

  "Huh?"

  "Is it you who helped take down Flame's first kill in Dream Team China?" Lin Yi asked.

  "...". Ding Qiang paused slightly: "Is it you who wants to know or is it someone from your trade association who wants to know?"

  "Hmm, is there something different?" Lin Yiqi said: "It's our deputy director who asked me to ask you, he doesn't know how he knew that we two are familiar with each other, so he asked me to ask, but actually I also want to know."

  "Oh, I see." Ding Qiang thought for a moment. If someone else had asked him this question, he would have firmly denied it, but since it was Lin Ye asking...

  In Ding Qiang's heart, he actually attaches great importance to his friendship with Lin Yi.

  "That's right, I was in command during that battle." Ding Qiang admitted, not wanting to deceive Lin Ye.

  "Hey, you're something else." Lin Yi sent over a thumbs up emoji and then stopped talking, apparently going to respond later.

  Ding Qiang closed the dialogue box with Lin Ye and fell into deep thought.

  Since Lin Yi asked himself, according to his cautious personality, he probably had already made up his mind about this matter.

  As for letting Lin Yi ask, it was actually just to confirm.

  "What a hassle!" Ding Qiang sighed.

  He didn't intend to reveal his strength so early, when he signed the agreement with Meng Xiang China's Zeng Ge, there was a clause that prohibited him from revealing his name, but he didn't expect the system to brush the screen.

  But since stewed fish can brush the screen from that system, others should also be able to do this...

  Forget it, don't think about it anymore.

  Shaking his head, he threw these things out of his mind and looked at the sea surface that was gradually appearing on the horizon. Ding Qiang immediately quickened his pace.

  The map in the game of God's Miracle is vast, with countless villages and towns. Soon, he arrived at a small village near the coast.

  "Alas, with such strong winds, how can we set sail...?" After understanding Ding Qiang's intention, a fisherman shook his head and said: "Young man, if you can make the wind stop, I'd naturally be willing to take you out to sea. But like this..."

  “……”

  Going out to sea requires a boat, and if players want to get on the boat, they need to help an NPC complete a task.

  This task has a high degree of randomness, and the difficulty is also different. The simplest one is that the NPC's stomach is hungry and has no strength, just need to buy a chicken leg at the grocery store.

  It is the current task that Ding Qiang received, which requires players to kill the mastermind of the Storm Stirrer, "Naga Stormcaster", located in a cave on the beach.

  But at this time, Ding Qiang didn't have any choice either, and could only force a smile and say: "Don't worry, old man, I'll take care of this matter!"

  "Ah? How can this be......" The NPC's mouth said no, no, it was too dangerous, but the joyful expression on his face made him wish that Ding Zhong would immediately take back the Storm Sorcerer's head...

  "Accept the quest: [Kill Naga Stormcaster]."

  Naga Stormcaster, 25th level elite OSS, long-range mage profession, main attack methods include magic arrows, powerful wind blades, hail, secondary division, and she also has two 20-level elite Naga guards by her side, making it difficult to deal with.

  Such a powerful outdoor BOSS, Ding Qiang alone can't handle it, so he opened the comprehensive channel.

  It was just an instant, and the originally empty comprehensive channel was immediately filled with...

  "Three missing two in Deep Sea Cave instance, need output and healing."

  "You stupid big rock, how dare you steal my monster..."

  "Selling point cards, 300 gold per card..."

  “……”

  All sorts of information flooded in, instantly filling Ding Qiang's entire channel interface to the brim.

  "Grandma, the brush frequency in this place is more exaggerated than in the city..." Ding Qiang hurriedly set up a keyword for Na Jia Feng Bao Shi, which just avoided being bombarded by those junk messages.

  After searching for half a day, Ding Qiang did not find any team that was prepared to kill the Naga Stormcaster, so he had no choice but to form his own.

  "Defeated Naga Stormcaster, one down four to go... coming for you..."

  It just so happened that after he shouted for less than two times, a message suddenly came, and a stranger made a call to him.

  "Huh?"

  "Friend, are you going to take on the quest to kill Nagafury?" asked a player named Coffin's Laughter.

  "Hmm!"

  "That's just right, we already have four people here, just one more is needed, come on?" said the laughter from the coffin.

  "Alright." Without another word, he agreed on a meeting spot with the other party and had his equipment repaired at a shop in the village. Ding Qiang immediately headed towards the direction of the task cave.

  Laughter in the coffin, singing in the coffin, rapping in the coffin, Peking Opera in the coffin. These four extremely similar names suggest that these people are just like Ding Qiang and Lin Ye, also friends in real life.

  Laughter is a warrior, singing is a mage, and rap is a hunter. The remaining Peking Opera is a pastor. Adding myself to this combination makes it a perfect dual-warrior team. Two warriors can take turns tanking the BOSS and the small monsters, while the other monster is taken care of by the kite-flying hunter. In short, we have a meat shield when needed, output when required, and healing when necessary. This profession combination is most suitable for killing Naga Stormcaster.

  It was almost simultaneous timing, just as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, those four people also arrived at the entrance of the cave.

  "The Nagas are the bosses inside the cave. As soon as we enter, the battle will be triggered automatically. Let's assign tasks first." The coffin laughed.

  "Uh-huh." Since they all knew each other, Ding Qiang also let them arrange it themselves.

  Judging from the level of equipment on these people's bodies, Ding Qiang guessed that they were probably around level 21 or 22, and it was unlikely to be too high.

  After everything was arranged, and their lives and magic were fully replenished, with a loud laugh from the captain's coffin, several people immediately rushed in...

  "I smelled human scent."

  "There is an intruder..."

  "Guards, guards, kill them for me..."

  With a hoarse roar, several nagas with long tails swung their weapons and charged towards the laughter that was rushing to the front.

  As soon as the target appeared, the laughter in the coffin was like a spring being stepped on, and it shot out with a "whoosh" sound. A charge forward immediately drew the BOSS's attention over.

  On the other hand, Ding Qiang and the hunter also quickly pulled the kite back, and everything went smoothly.

  Naga Guardian's blood volume is not much, and its quantity is only a little more than that of ordinary 25-level small monsters. So soon, with the help of the mage behind him, Ding Qiang easily solved the Naga Guardian in front of him.

  When he saw Ding Qiang quickly solve the guardian, the laughter in the coffin couldn't help but take a deep look at the weapon in Ding Qiang's hand. When Ding Qiang inadvertently turned his head back, he pretended to be normal and quickly shifted his gaze away.

  Ding Qiang saw it with his own eyes and suddenly felt that something was not quite right. He took a glance at the positions of several people and immediately became cautious.

  "Alright, rap, put that guardian back." The laughter from the coffin hurriedly gave the order, as if covering up something.

  "Oh."

  Before long, the 20th-level Hunter had feigned death, and the Naga Warrior who had lost its target soon wandered back to the entrance of the cave.

  Charge!

  Muscle strain!

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Under the coordination of several people, soon, this second Naga warrior also fell under everyone's feet.

  Two Nagas have died, and only one Storm Sorcerer is left on the scene. With a single order, everyone's attack immediately became like they didn't cost anything, pouring down towards the Storm Sorcerer in an overwhelming manner...
