Chapter 184: The Mountaintop

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although the exorcism’s dispelling range was only 100 meters, its biggest function was to avoid fighting when they encountered monsters and to ensure that the monsters would not chase them.

As a result, the three of them were moving at a speed of more than 100 meters per second.

As they were moving, a huge flying creature suddenly entered his perception. The flying creature was extremely fast, coming from the southeast and heading straight to northwest. If they continued to move at this speed, they might bump into it in ten seconds!

Ling Yi frowned slightly and asked Yunji, “Is there a Beast King in the Forest of Insects?”

“Ah?”

Yunji paused for a moment, then continued to move forward while turning her head and smiling. “Not only that. In fact there are two Beast Kings.”

“One is a Lord of the Crypt, hidden deep underground, and the other is a Lord of the Sky, soaring through the heavens.”

The monsters in the great world would also respawn after they were killed, but the respawn interval was longer, and they usually take about a day.

Beast King only respawned about a week after it was killed.

“What level is the Lord of the Sky?”

“Seventy. Why?”

Ling Yi’s mouth twitched and he quickly said, “I can sense a giant moth flying over! Let’s make a stop there first!”

Yunji and Lin Shurou immediately followed.

The two of them turned their heads left and right and soon found a small space where a few large trees were intertwined. They quickly pulled Ling Yi over and whispered, “This is a good place to hide. Let’s hide here first.”

Ling Yi didn’t say anything.

It was inevitable for the three of them to have physical contact in such a small space. Yunji and Ling Yi could not touch each other, but Ling Yi and Lin Shurou were stuck closely together.

The two sides had already had skin to skin contact, so they didn’t care too much about these details.

Then they hear a sound getting closer and closer, as if a huge object was flying from the distant sky.

The three of them held their breaths and raised their heads, looking outside through the one-meter wide gap.

The sound was getting louder and closer. Finally, a few seconds later, a beautiful moth with a wingspan of 100 meters and a body covered in blue flames flew over the three of them.

Countless specks of green dust were scattered along its flight path, weaving into a bright green flame belt in the sky.

In the next few seconds, some of the dust was blown away by the wind, and some slowly fell to the ground.

“That’s the Lord of the Sky’s flaming dust. It will ignite or even explode upon impact.” Seeing the two of them staring at the beautiful moth in a daze, Yunji explained this to them.

After a few moments, Ling Yi walked out of the small space surrounded by the trees, “Let’s go. We’re only a few minutes away from the Gaomu Ridge.”

After the two of them came out, the three of them set off once more.

A few minutes later, they finally passed through the forest of magic insects safely and arrived at Gaomu Ridge.

The high wood Ridge, as its name suggested, was a mountain ridge with tall trees.

As far as the eye could see, it was an endless range of mountains. The mountains were covered in green vegetation, and clouds floated on the top of the mountains.

There was no sun in this area. Instead, it was in an environment where it would rain at any time. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sound of thunder could be heard from time to time.

The terrain between the mountains was open, and at a glance, he could see many players fighting in groups of twos and threes with all kinds of monkey-type monsters.

A few kilometers away from the three of them, there was the highest mountain. The clouds and fog had “cut” the mountain in half. The top of the mountain looked like a mountain that floated in the air, shocking everyone.

“The Beast King of the Gaomu Ridge is on that mountain. Let’s go!” Yunji said to the two of them, pointing at the mountain top.

The terrain here was open and easy to fly, which increased the three of them by a lot.

In order to arrive as soon as possible, Ling Yi even called for a strong wind to speed up the three of them.

Soon, they reached the top of the mountain. However, as soon as they arrived, they saw hundreds of players fighting the King Ape.

Judging from the degree of damage to the surrounding environment, it seemed that the crusade had been going on for some time.

The three of them looked at each other and tacitly landed on the edge of the mountain.

There were still many 30 – 40 meter tall trees here, and it was hard to find them even if they didn’t deliberately avoid them.

“Let me see.”

Ling Yi activated [Eyes of Truth] on the King Ape a thousand meters away. Seeing that it still had 62% of its HP, he relaxed slightly. “There’s no hurry. The Beast King still has more than half of his life force left.”

Lin Shurou furrowed her brows and asked anxiously, “The other side has so many people… What should we do?”

“Hehe.”

Ling Yi smiled. “It’s okay. It’s better to have someone to help me. I’ll just snatch it later.”

Hearing this, Yunji’s beautiful eyes widened, “There are at least five to six hundred people there. Are you sure you can win?” She said in surprise.

“The King Ape doesn’t have any life-saving Skills other than a damage reduction Skill. As long as its HP is less than half, it will die with one attack from me.”

Yunji and Lin Shurou were speechless.

“Although I know you’re awesome, you’re too f*cking exaggerating.” Yunji looked at Ling Yi as if she was looking at a monster. She was so shocked that she started to curse.

“Your attack… There should be some conditions, right?” Lin Shurou was much more rational.

“Ah… Yes, yes, there are stricter conditions, which is…”

“Wait! You’re not allowed to say it!” Yunji shouted.

“What?”

“Give us some space to imagine. That way, we’ll feel better.”

Ling Yi squinted his eyes at her.

Yunji and Lin Shurou were hypnotizing themselves. ‘This must be a Skill with extremely harsh conditions, and the price must be extremely huge…’

He didn’t care what the other two were doing, and continued to pay attention to the Beast King’s HP bar.

62.9%

“F*ck… This is too slow.”

The moment he finished speaking, Ling Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked again and saw that his vitality was indeed at 62.9%. A series of question marks immediately appeared in his mind.

“???”

He looked at the battlefield in the distance with a dumbfounded expression and wondered in surprise, “Why did the giant ape’s life force rise instead?”

“I remember it doesn’t have any healing Skills!”

He had looked at the King Ape’s skills in detail before he came in— there were teams of powerhouses who had fought it before, and its Skills had been published on the forum by the players.

If it had a HP recovery Skill, they should have known from the previous battle. It was impossible to not use it. Unless someone else deliberately didn’t add it.

With doubts in his heart, he began to listen to the voices of the players in that area.

Soon, he heard one of the players’ whispers.

“Hmph, we clearly agreed on 10,000 gold per person, but when we gathered, they found an excuse to lower it to 6,000. They’ve embezzled my pay, so don’t blame me for secretly treating the Beast King.”

“It just so happens that my healing Skill has no special effects when it’s activated. You can’t tell at all.”

Players’ damage Skills could be effective on monsters or other players, and naturally, healing Skills were the same.

It’s just that no one has been treating monsters all this time.

After all, healing the monsters wouldn’t change its hostility towards players, it would still kill players mercilessly.

Now that he knew the reason, Ling Yi’s expression became strange.

The other players did not have the ability to check the Beast King’s vitality, so they did not notice that guy’s little trick.

However, Ling Yi still planned to let these people grind its HP. How could he allow this guy to continue healing the Beast King?

Just as he was about to kill the guy quietly, Yunji, who had been standing beside him, suddenly said in surprise, “Eh? Those people… Aren’t they the main force of the younger generation in Shenxia?”
