Chapter 98: Ancient Thunder Temple
Sponsored ContentLin Yixin’s jealous tone of voice made Beiming Xue stand there at a loss .
I stood up . “Let’s go back, Beiming, it’s getting late . We have to go online at 7 am to level!”
“Mn . ”
Beiming Xue obediently nodded and followed behind me . Her short skirt swayed, attracting the lingering gazes of the men of Snowy Cathaya .
I inwardly scolded them . These dumbos, they’re still not satisfied when they’re eating dinner with a super beauty like Lin Yixin . A man’s penchant for beauty was truly endless .
Before I got out the door, Lin Yixin suddenly called me . “Lu Chen?”
“Hm?” I turned . “What’s up, Beauty Yi?”
“Uh… What’s up next for your Blood Mercenaries? Or should I say, what are you planning to do next?”
“Grind to Level 60 for third promotion!”
“Oh…”
Lin Yixin laughed . “Alright then . ”
……
We returned back to our room, bringing along Du Thirteen, Gui Guzi, and Yamete . Then I went to pay the bill . It totaled around a thousand . Too extravagant!
At 10 pm, we came back to the workshop . Beiming Xue went to take a shower and us remaining four men went to Yamete’s room to play Legends of the Three Kingdoms—
Mamate: “Haha, "Southern Barbarian Invasion"!”
Du Thirteen: “Invade your sister, this card’s clearly "Drowning in Pleasure"!”
Gui Guzi: “I use "Attack" on Mamate!”
Mamate: “f.u.c.k, you even dare to kill my "Xia Houdun"? "Attack" then!”

Du Thirteen: “Wait, wait, I want "G.o.ddess Luo"!”
Mamate: “G.o.ddess your sister, you picked "Zhang Fei"!”
Du Thirteen: “s.h.i.+t!”
We played all the way until midnight, took cold shower, then went to our respective rooms to sleep .
……
After eating breakfast early in the morning, all members of b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries enthusiastically went online to grind . Mamate, Du Thirteen, and Gui Guzi formed a party while I and Beiming Xue went solo . With our damage, making a party would only hinder our progress .
In Floating Ice City’s eastern gate plaza, I checked out my current progress . Level 53 24% . The higher my level, the harder it would be for me to increase it . Past Level 50, leveling speed would plummet so much that finding a new grinding spot would become imperative . I needed to reach Level 60 as soon as possible . Those who reached their third promotion first would definitely be rewarded by the system!
I walked out of Floating Ice City while browsing through the official forums but I couldn’t find a leveling map suitable for me . With my level at 53, killing Level 55–60 mobs would profit me the most . Violet Forest was not a good leveling spot for me anymore . The best would be a map with Level 55–60 mobs and a field boss so that I can get some valuable items while grinding levels . Two birds with one stone so to speak .
High-grade items like Silver or Gold–grade could only be dropped from bosses at this stage of the game . Steel-grade equipment dropping from an ordinary mob was already amazing but with my current equipment, I didn’t need items of such mundane tier anymore . I needed equipment that was at least of Dark Steel–grade!
A beep suddenly sounded when I was in a daze . Someone sent me a message . Their name sparkled . It was actually Wind Fantasy and the message was sent in clear font: “Lu Chen, what’re you doing?”
I looked at the distant forest and replied, “Going to grind . ”
“Oh?”
Lin Yixin paused for a few seconds before sending a second message . “There’s a high-level map in the depths of Frost Forest and I want to bring someone along with me . Want to come?”
“Why aren’t you bringing a priest?”
“Priests don’t do any damage and that map has a high requirement on one’s ability . Aside from you, I don’t think there’s another person in Floating Ice City suitable for me to bring there! Also, the mobs in this map are all Level 55 and higher, which fits our level . I bet if we grind through the entire map, we’ll reach about Level 60 . Of course, this depends on whether or not you can kill them . ”
“Oh, I see!”
I was ecstatic . I got what I wanted so easily . Lin Yixin was too delightful!
“Let’s party up, I’ll be there soon!”
“Alright!”

Beep!
System Notice: Player “Wind Fantasy” wants to invite you to their party, do you accept?
After I pressed yes, I entered our party of two .
Lin Yixin’s current position was outside Floating Ice City, just a few minutes from me . That orange dot on the map quickly moved and she appeared at the outskirts of the forest in three minutes . She was still in a pure snow white gown holding the Snow Shadow Sword, her soft cheeks forming a smile . She wore a brand new silver chestplate that outlined her attractive curves and a white ta.s.sel hung below the outfit, somewhat hiding her suffocatingly beautiful legs .
“Gulp!”
I involuntarily swallowed as my heart secretly pounded . This little vixen could steal souls . I can’t look anymore . If I look any longer, I’ll be conquered and want to kneel .
Floating Ice City’s forums had thousands of daily posts asking to date Wind Fantasy . Many rich men would reveal their ident.i.ty and family background and fight each other on the forums but none of those wastrels would dare provoke Lin Yixin in game . She was, after all, number one on Floating Ice City’s Heavenly Ranking . She had both looks and power, as the faction behind her was Floating Ice City’s very first guild, Snowy Cathaya . Those who had ideas about her needed to consider those facts .
I glanced at Lin Yixin and shook my head . Those immoral designers that made female armors were truly celestials!
Lin Yixin glared at me . “You weren’t drunk when you went back home last night, were you?”
“How… how could I be…” My heart thumped . Why was she asking this?
“Actually, our b.l.o.o.d.y Mercenaries have five members now . You’ve seen Beiming Xue, and the others are guys, Gui Guzi, Du Thirteen, and Yamete . Beiming Xue has her own room…”
When I looked at her again, Lin Yixin was already walking into the forest with the Snow Shadow Sword . She glanced back with a smile . “Why are you explaining this to me? Besides, you living with a girl doesn’t have anything to do with me, right?”
I nodded . “Right!”
“Hmph!”
Lin Yixin rolled her eyes . “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to a G.o.dly leveling ground . You’d better not tell anyone about it!”
“What kind of a place is it?”
“You’ll know when you get there!”
I released my Dark Wasp while Lin Yixin also released her Fire Blade . We entered the forest with our guard up . The deeper we went, the more land we saw . Frost Forest was a map without bounds and there were monsters everywhere, with the majority being wild animals . On our way there, the mobs grew stronger, from Level 30 Wild Wolves to Level 60 Pythons .
I looked around and discovered that Lin Yixin and I were the only players here . It was already a deserted land since Level 60 mobs were no joke . Even parties with an average of Level 40 wouldn’t survive there . In fact, there weren’t that many such parties in Floating Ice City in the first place .

A few minutes later, we entered a clearing . The place looked as if all the trees around had been chopped down . Ahead of us I could see a building protruding into the sky . A tall paG.o.da stood in the forest clouded in white mist . No wonder why I couldn’t see it from afar!
I gazed up at this structure, inwardly surprised . This ancient tower had a total of five floors, with each floor at least ten meters tall . It seemed as though it was piercing through the skies as lightning scuttled down around the paG.o.da like legendary dragons of yore, shaking it . It looked terrifying to say the least!
Startled, I grabbed Lin Yixin’s arm . “Yiyi, when we go up, just one lightning bolt will burn us to a crisp . Look, this tower’s completely covered in lightning…”
Lin Yixin glanced back at me and smiled . “What are you scared of? You dare to go against tens of Domination Clan experts but you’re scared of a little grinding zone?”
“This is different…”
Lin Yixin burst into a giggle . “Don’t worry, I was in the first floor of this Ancient Thunder Temple last night . As long as your reaction speed is fast enough and your head’s not muddled, you won’t get hit by lightning . ”
“Oh, I see . Then let’s go!”
“Mn!”
I walked in front . After going up the stairs, I pushed open the Ancient Thunder Temple’s heavy iron doors with open palms . The doors buzzed as they grinded against the floor, dust falling on our heads . Who knows how long this temple had been gathering dust for . . .
“Wait . . . ”
Seeing the dust-filled air, I turned around . “Are you sure you were here yesterday?”
Lin Yixin turned around and looked at the distant forest . “The scenery isn"t too bad~~”
“f.u.c.k!”
I used more force and the door fully opened . I smelled something foul, then was immediately thrown out . I flew backward into the air and Lin Yixin shouted in surprise before flying out with me due to the large attack range .
Bang!
Both of us landed on the ground . My neck was in pain and a howl sounded . A large blood-colored dog pounced on my body and bit off nearly 300 of my HP!
“Scram!”
My leg abruptly kicked out . The huge, blood-red dog miserably howled when knocked away . My damage was still pretty good . If I hadn’t been ambushed, I wouldn’t have been in this wretched state .

Lin Yixin crawled up from the gra.s.s . With gritted teeth, she charged at the big dog with her sword . At this time, I finally had the chance to look at the monster’s details—
h.e.l.lhound
Level: 57
Attack: 240~420
Defense: 320
HP: 5500
Skills: Flurry Dance, Roar
Introduction: Guardian of the Ancient Thunder Temple’s first floor . The nightmare of all adventurers, h.e.l.lhounds come from the sinking Abyss and possess immense power .
……
Level 57 monster, it can’t be left alive!
Lin Yixin and I unleashed our attacks at the same time . Moon Gaze + Extreme Break, Pardon + Desperate Gambit . When our combo skills fell, the h.e.l.lhound howled and lost most of its HP .
But at this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared on the h.e.l.lhound’s forehead . A powerful skill’s coming!
Papapapa!
Four consecutive hits . The h.e.l.lhound unleashed four attacks, two at me and two at Lin Yixin . I lost 300 HP!
Flurry Dance: Can hit several targets multiple times with power equivalent to physical damage skills .
Another lightning quick strike came from each one of us and the h.e.l.lhound died before our pets had time to react .
I spread out my hand and tried for additional loot with Death Plunder!
h.e.l.lhound Pelt (Quality: 75): Rank 4 pelt .
