Chapter 695

Chapter 695 – New Quest

Without noticing, I had already reached the peak of the Ice Ridge Mountain as I tried the Flying Swordplay against the different mobs . Snow covered the landscape, and created a chilling environment . I was starting to feel so cold that I barely even shivered . The monsters couldn’t go across the Ice Ridge Mountains, but the players could still go wherever they pleased on the range . The only problem was that it was too cold . A lot of people couldn’t take this kind of extreme temperature .

……

I stood at the peak of the mountain . To the left of me was the vast dead land of the Northern Hybrid Demon Territory . To the South on the other hand was filled with opportunity for battle in the Seven Northern Empires . I thought about it for a moment as I softly patted my Flying Scythe War Horse’ mane . I tugged on the reins, and turned my horse to the north . I’ll just kill some monsters along the mountain then!

I opened up my map and carefully looked at all of the information on it . Very soon, a group of small red dots appeared . The dots turned black soon . They probably weren’t as simple as the average monsters .

There was a bramble brush in that direction . I lead my horse forward . Suddenly, a red light flew out from the brush!

Thankfully I was already prepared . I cracked my reins and switched directions . “Shua!” an iron spear brushed past my arm . It was the [Iron Spear Throw] skill from the Level 1 Demon Hunters! I locked onto the target and charged forward . My Flying Scythe War Horse dashed forward into the bramble like the wind . “Peng!” I stunned the Demon Hunter .

“He he… . . ”

The Demon Hunter revealed its sharp fangs in a wicked grin . Some letters floated above its head . Level 135 . Its stats were terrifyingly high as well . Motehrf*cker, all of the Hybrid Demon’s Stats have been respawned . They were extremely terrifying compared to the players at the current stage!

I swung both of my swords and immediately threw out five cuts . The Demon Hunter swung its sharp claws, but it only dealt 2000 damage to me, nothing serious . It wasn’t until seven seconds later, did it materialize another spear in its hand . The cool down for its skill was up . It growled as the spear grew red . I then urged my horse forward to avoid the attack . The battle horse completed the complicated maneuver while I swung both my swords . Right as the Demon Hunter threw his [Spear Throw], I suddenly spun around and ran towards the opposite direction, and successfully dodging the second attack . I then had my little tiger attack together . In a short twenty seconds, this Demon Hunter fell with a scream . The dps was pretty good . I had just finished killing people so my Dragon Reservoir Sword’s [Kill for Blood] effect was still there .

I looked at the ground and there was a total of four gold piece . The drops from these Hybrid Demons were even better than the Steel Blade Beasts on Steel Blade Mountain . On top of that, the experience was very generous . After all, it was a Level 130 monster .

I happily picked up the gold and continued forward . I looked for Demon Hunters in the forest at the foot of the mountain and killed them off one by one . Furthermore, I got used to dodging the Demon Hunters’ [Spear Throw] . This was a skill that all top level players had to learn . At any time, they must make preparations for being ambushed . Only then would they be able to minimize the damage they take from an attack . It’s just as it was in the team battle, when the enemy charged, there was always the chance that a [Scatter Shot] or a [Lullaby] was aimed at you . You must have the ability to seek out a chance for survival in all the chaos . What was the best way for you to take the least damage while dealing the most damage to the opponent .

However, even though my maneuvers were improving by leaps and bounds, I wasn’t considered a master yet . I still took a hit from the [Spear Throw]s from time to time, and lost 6000 health in one attack . It still hurt quite a bit .

……

As I was killing them, I was thinking about things . With the appearance of mounts, all of the knight tier players finally began to take on a main role in the game’s battles . The appearance of the Greedy Wolf Raiders really made players understand one point: Even [Thousand Burial] managed to rise to new heights with the might of thousands of mounts behind it, if they were paired with a guild like [Hero’s Mound] or [Legend], then their might would be unimaginable .

There were three main battle sects for knights, the Battle Reflux Style, the Pulse Break Style and the Drunken Sword Style . I understood the basic essence of all three . Furthermore, I could recognize them whenever I was in a solo or team battle . The Pulse Break and the Thorn Style usually showed up in solo battles or battles on a small scale . However, in the greater scale wars, then the truly great styles were the Battle Reflux and the Drunken Sword styles . For example, when I used my [Halberd Flame] and charged forward as I used [Drain] to recover my health . My endurance was extremely high, which allowed me to tank all the damage for so long without falling .

On the other hand, the Pulse Break Style created very little difference in a battle . The situation on a battlefield was constantly changing . Everywhere there was [Stun]s, [Blind]s, and [Sleep] effects flying around . Nobody would give you the chance to interrupt a skill anyway . Maybe you could successfully interrupt one person’s skill, but you might be pressed to the ground by a group of entirely different people . The only way to survive was to kill everyone on the battle field and find a place for oneself . You must be able to control the tempo of the team . That was the true potential of control type players .

Jian Feng Han, Li Mu and Wang Jian were all determined to continue down the path for the Battle Reflux Style, probably for the same reason . Jian Feng Han wasn’t an idiot . Based on his natural talent and ability, he definitely could learn the Pulse Break Style . But, he still didn’t . Instead, he’s been thinking of how to maximize the advantages of the Battle Reflux Style . On this point, he deserved more respect than Q-Sword . Of course, Q-Sword sought multiple different styles and he trained in a variety of different battle styles . This was his strongest advantage .

……

As I was thinking about it, something suddenly wavered in the brambles, and caught my eye . I stared right at it . A group of red dots appeared on the map . In the next moment, “Shua shua shua!” five Iron Spear’s flew at me from different directions . My mind went completely blank . What the f*ck, they actually spawned five Demon Hunters for me?!

I pulled at my reins, and forced my Flying Scythe Horse to stop . After that I made a quick change in direction . “Sou!” a spear flew past me . I dodged one of the Iron Spears . But I was still hit by another one . I couldn’t just stand around and take these hits . And so, I swung my sword and began my counter attack . My little tiger also pounced forward beside me, activating [Fierce Roar] to attract aggro .

I locked my attacks onto one of the Demon Hunters, but I ended up getting hit by [Spear Throw]s from the other Demon Hunters . Fighting like this was extremely tiring, but dodging was too difficult . Was I going to continuously be hit like this? My only choice was to rely on [Cleansing Rain] and [Heal] to slowly keep my health up .

As the battle became more intense, I suddenly heard a dragon’s roar in the sky!

“Roar!”

I looked up, what was that?!

All I could see was a crimson dragon’s flame descend upon us . “Peng!” the four Demon Hunters that I didn’t kill all fell to the ground, burnt to crisps . I was stunned . Who had the guts and skill to kill that many Hybrid Demons in one hit?!

I looked up, only to see the dragon disappear . A beautiful woman appeared in the air . She looked very majestic with some hints of wilderness in her eyes . It was the Red Dragon Queen Zi Shu .

“Oh, it’s Zi Shu?” I smiled . I immediately picked up my sword and walked forward to greet her .

Queen Zi Shu smiled, “Master, it;s been a long time!”

My contract with her was only for a few days, but it seems that Zi Shu still hadn’t changed her greeting . She was actually calling me Master even without our contract . Seeing her, I said “One doesn’t visit a temple for no reason, you must be here for something right?”

Zi Shu grinned, “Master truly is clever… I’ve been sensing a strong power while I was in Dragon City and so I came here . I never would have thought that you were here too . But I do have something for you . Lady Frost is looking for you . ”

“Oh? Why?”

“She didn’t say . She just told me to bring you back to Dragon City . ”

“Ok, let’s go then!”

Zi Shu dove down and grabbed my arm in one swoop . She smiled, “You walk too slowly, I’ll fly you over!”

……

Helpless, I put the little tiger and the Flying Scythe War Horse back into the pet space . The wind whistled past my ear as we flew straight towards Dragon City .

After a few minutes, we reached the sky above Dragon City . As we descended, we entered right to the center of the city .

On the way, there were several Dragon City soldiers training in the small military grounds of Dragon City . These days, Frost has recruited quite a few elite warriors across the continent to boost Dragon City’s battle power . On top of that, she seemed to be teaching the warriors the ancient techniques that were buried in the tomes of Dragon City . In order to hold off the Hybrid Demons, Frost has been exerting every bit of effort .

Zi Shu seemed to guess what I was worried about . She smiled, “Master, right now, Dragon City already has over ten thousand citizens . Of them, 5000 are Dragon City warriors . Laborers, chefs and shippers constitute the other 5000 . Even if the Hybrid Demons were to attack again, at least we have some kind of force to defend .

I nodded, “Where is Frost?”

“She’s in the Commander’s Hall . ”

“Ok . ”

After Dragon City was rebuilt, the old King’s Hall that Luo Lin had once ruled from was also rebuilt . Now it was named the Commander's Hall . The great doors were heavily guarded . When the enormous doors were pushed open, there appeared two large sand tables placed in the great hall . Small flags representing the Hybrid Demon forces were scattered around the tables . There was another enormous desk next to it that was covered with flags that represented the three kingdoms, Tian Ling City, Ba Huang City and Dragon City . Frost was sitting at that desk, pouring over a lambskin map .

“Lady Frost, master is here!” Zi Shu announced .

Frost looked up . The moment she saw me, a light flashed in her eyes . Her beautiful face seemed to have thinned quite a bit . She smiled, “Li Xiao Yao, you’re finally here… . ”

I smiled, “What’s wrong… you miss me?”

Frost blushed but she couldn’t resist saying, “There are some things that we can only talk about in private . Let’s talk business then… . ”

“Ok . ”

Frost left the desk and leaned against the edge of the sand table, “Three days ago, a wave weak of Hybrid Demons launched a series of attacks against Dragon City . They were pushed back by me . However, they ambushed us in the middle of the night again . That time, Sword Spirit Dragon Riders appeared . One type was a flight type . They could reach an altitude of 500 meters . They threw large boulders, and smashed quite a few of the machines we had on the border of the wall . They were five hundred meters in the air, so none of our archers could reach them . This was something that made Zi Shu and I feel very helpless . Zi Shu is after all by herself . . I can’t allow her to go against so many Sword Spirit Dragon Riders on her own . ”

Zi Shu grunted, “Lady, it really isn’t anything big . Those insects can’t kill me!”

“Even so… . ”

Frost looked at me and said, “Li Xiao Yao, do you know what I want to say?”

I nodded with a smile, “Dragon City right now needs true Dragon Riders to hold off those flying type Hybrid Demons like the Sword Spirit Dragon Riders!”

Frost smiled, “Yup, I was thinking the same . And so . . I want you to go with me . We’ll go complete a not so honorable task . We must keep it a secret… . ”

I glared at her and unhappily said, “Do you want me to follow you to the Wild Dragon Territory to steal some Dragon Eggs?”

Frost pouted her lip, “Wu, I really can’t keep anything from you… . ”
