Virtual World: Conquering the World

Chapter 90: First come first serve

On the fifth floor of the Ancient Ghost Temple, the monsters here were the Demonized Swordsmen with powerful attack power.  The level 48 monsters had a high 500 attack power which was not something that normal players can take, so when I entered the fifth floor I was scared because I was actually surrounded by Demonized Swordsmen!

It was clear that there were two possibilities for this.  One was that there were people that came to the fifth floor and couldn't take the attack power of the Demonized Swordsmen, so they were chased back to the fourth floor by a group of monsters which gathered all these Demonized Swordsmen here.  The other was that there were people who deliberately attracted this group to stop players from heading down, which meant that before we came, there were players that came to the fifth floor!

Thinking of this, I immediately went in an arc around the monsters, bringing most of them back to the center.  At the same time, I said on the party channel, "You guys can come up!"

When the girls appeared, I was already cautiously using the Thousand Bladed Arrows to kill the monsters.  The Demonized Swordsmen here couldn't compare to the tomb skeletons, so a single hit to me took a third of my HP away.  Using the Thousand Bladed Arrows to farm mobs here was simply like dancing on the edge of a blade!

Purple Rhyme quickly gave me the Prepared Resurrection, while Ling Yue helped with her Scarlet Flame Sea and Flame Dragon spells.  Ling Xue didn't fear the attack of the Demonized Swordsmen with her Strong Gale Set, so she forced her way into the mobs and used her Water Moon Slash to cut them down!

It had to be said, Ling Xue's battle technique was quite good.  Every time she swept out with the Water Moon Slash, several monsters around her lost most of their HP.  This increased our efficiency by quite a bit. Ling Xue with the help of the Water Moon Slash had quite a bit of damage!

Bing Cha's actions were even more simple, she just attacked a single monster at the edges.  Her defence couldn't compare to Ling Xue, so it would be dangerous once she was surrounded by monsters.

In less than half an hour, we had already cleared out the monsters of the fifth floor, getting several pieces of Bronze Equipment.  Everyone divided it up and I gave the Bronze Bracers that I got to Bing Cha. This was something that she could use, but seeing her look at me with those large eyes, I awkwardly put the equipment back into my inventory.

Since the path to the sixth floor had been opened, I couldn't help taking a deep breath and saying in a heavy voice, "There might be people up there and there might be a large group of Dark Sacrifices at the entrance, so the first person out has to be careful!"

Ling Xue said with a smile, "Relax, I'll take a look first!"

I wasn't a warrior and an archer with low HP wasn't good for charging in, so I could only give her a nod.

Walking up the stone stairs with Ling Xue, when we reached the top, she hesitated a bit before looking back at me and saying, "Little fool, if I drop the Light Flow Sword, you have to help me pick it up..The other equipment doesn't matter, only the Light Flow Sword can't be lost.."

I was a bit surprised before saying with a faint smile, "Why?"

Ling Xue's face couldn't help turning red as she shouted, "Stop wasting time!  Just pick it up!"

After saying this, Ling Xue flew to the sixth floor.  There wasn't any movement for a while and when Ling Yue and I were feeling anxious, Ling Xue's voice came from the party channel, "It's safe, come in!"

Everyone immediately entered and they saw Ling Xue standing in the center of the sixth floor.  Around her at her feet, there were the corpses of Dark Sacrifices that were slowly disappearing!

Ling Yue, Bing Cha, and Purple Rhyme were stunned.  I asked in a shocked voice, "Ling Xue? What amazing ability did you get?  You're actually able to take out all these Dark Sacrifices on the sixth floor in this short amount of time?"

Ling Xue helplessly said, "It wasn't me, the monsters of the sixth floor had already been swept away when I arrived!"

My heart couldn't help turning cold.  Who was it that stole all the sixth floor monsters ahead of us?

Ling Yue had the same doubts as me, but she said to Ling Xue, "Forget it, let's go to the seventh floor!"

So everyone immediately charged to the seventh floor entrance!

The magic barrier was released last time, so right now there was a blue glowing entrance in front of us.  As long as we jumped in, we could directly reach the final boss of the Ancient Ghost Temple!

When Ling Xue was about to enter, I pulled her back.  She looked at me with a confused look and I explained, "It might be very dangerous inside, so I'll go first.  I have the stealth from the Shadow Cloak, so it's much safer. Ling Xue, you'll lose a level if you die!"

Ling Xue was stunned before she said with a smile, "But if you die, you'll fall from first place on the level rankings!  You are Xue Yue's flag, how can you fall!"

I shook my head with a faint smile, "It doesn't matter, levels can be grinded out later!  I'm going first!"

After saying this, I activated the stealth of the Shadow Cloak and entered into the darkness!

I walked forward and reached out both hands to touch the blue light barrier, I was immediately pulled in by some powerful energy.  It was like I was flying and after a few seconds, I fell on the ground again!

It was dark in front and I had appeared inside an ancient hall!

In front of me, there were the sounds of fighting.  There were around twenty players surrounding the boss and from time to time, people were dying!

I was shocked to find that there was the Fated tag above the names of these people!

Close to twenty level 40 players, Fated Madman had taken out all his power just to steal the boss of the Ancient Ghost Tomb's seventh floor.

This boss had a set of dark black armour and a wild blood red cloak dancing in the wind.  The boss only revealed a pair of eyes through his closed helmet that sparkled with blue light.  There was a giant dazzling sword in his hand and each swing it gave took the life of a player!

[Ancient Ghost General] (Dark Gold Boss)

Level: ???

Attack: ???

Defense: ???

HP: ???

Additional: This ancient hero that has been sleeping for thousands of years has awakened.  The hatred and loneliness of the ages has accumulated in him to make him hate everything. This time he is no longer the glory of humans, but rather the descent of a god of death.

...

As expected, I couldn't see any stats of the boss, but I knew that this Ancient Ghost General was actually a Dark Gold Boss.  This definitely was the strongest boss since Spirit of Grief had opened!

"Hua~"

A beam of light scattered and two berserkers charging forward were instantly killed!

The Ancient Ghost General swung his sword like a death god looking down on everything as he roared, "Lowly humans, your blood will pave a path for darkness to fall on the world!"

Fated Madman not far away lost his nerve as he roared out, "Go!  What are you afraid of, father will give you twenty thousand if you die!"

But there were less than twenty Fated members and most of them were magicians or archers.  The swordsmen and berserkers had already been mostly killed!

But at this time, there was a purple waning moon that appeared above the head of the Ancient Ghost General, while some battle information appeared.

"Ding~!"

Battle notification: Player Delicate Rice Fragrance has used the Soul Seal Spell.  The target Ancient Ghost General cannot move. This effect will last for 30 seconds!

Instantly, I was completely shocked.  I looked at who cast this spell and it was a beautiful little girl!  Could it be that she was the Hidden Job player from the Chinese top ten ranking, Delicate Rice Fragrance?
