Virtual World: Conquering the World - Chapter 158: White Cloud Main City

Chapter 158: White Cloud Main City

Hell Flames looked at me.  With this not large distance between us, I could clearly see that handsome face that was like it was carved from blades and the firm look in his eyes.  His equipment was covered in light, it wasn’t hard to imagine what grade they were.

Hell Flames greeted me with a faint smile before vanishing into the streets of White Cloud Main City.  He wanted to seize this time to take more quests.  There weren’t many quests in Spirit of Grief and high level quests were even more rare.  Quests were the main source of prestige, so it could be imagined how important they were.

I wasn’t willing to waste time either, so I headed east on the main road of White Cloud City.

There was a dignified music that filled my ears as I listened to the narration of the system.  The invasion of the Hell Army started a hundred year struggle, filling the Spirit of Grief Continent with blood and flames.  Humanity had struggled for a hundred years against the demons after their main city Isinger was destroyed.  In order to survive, the humanity alliance fought hard in battle and finally under the lead of the Paladin Queen Annie, they were able to reclaim the land that Isinger had stood on.  Moreover, they had established a city to resist the demons, now stood firmly on the east of the continent, White Cloud City!

Oh?  The human female paladin Annie?  I had heard of Annie Baby before, but I didn’t know this Annie……

When I entered White Cloud City Square, I saw a giant statue that was made of white jade in the center of the square.  It was in the form of a female knight in a long skirt and under the statue, there was the name Annie carved there!

I was a bit surprised.  This very beautiful woman was once the leader of the human race?

The reason she was once the leader was because there was an inscription under it.  In the West Yuan Year 224, the human leader Annie had led an army of one million into the demon’s nest.  She had killed the Flame Demon Wack, but Annie and ten Sacred Knights were forever left in the demon’s nest.

I let out a breath.  This human leader girl was already dead, it really was a pity……

I quickly ran out White Cloud City’s east gate.  According to White Cloud City’s introduction, there should be a link to the territory of the Hell Army to the east.  Normally speaking, killing undead monsters would give more experience.

Behind me were quite a few high level players that had entered White Cloud City.  Everyone wanted to be the first to gain the benefits of this city!

Without saying a thing, I headed out the east, only buying a single City Return Scroll!  I would leave the shopping to Qin Yun!

When I came out of the city, I looked around.  In the distance, there was the gloomy Moonlight Forest, the leveling ground that had already been introduced before the main city opened.  The Moonlight Forest was incomparably wide, not only were there monsters of varied levels, it was also linked to the White Cloud Mountains.  This mountain range had rich resources, so it would be a place that the large powers in White Cloud City would fight over in the future!

“Kengchi!  Kengchi!

On the border of the Moonlight Forest, there were several corpse eating ghosts that were gnawing on a corpse.  The east of White Cloud City was the territory of the forces of darkness, so this scene was quite common.

I looked at them and found that these corpse eating ghosts were level 70.  They were very suited for leveling, but I should go and find a quest first!

Looking at the sides of the city walls, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a small sentry post not far away from the main gates.  The soldiers there were in heavy armour and had bows in their hands, watching the corpse eating ghosts from a distance, only attacking when there was a disturbance.  In front of these soldiers, there was a commander with a silver army.  He had a sword in his hand and a worried look on his face.

When I came over, I heard the commander curse in a low voice, “Those damn liches are moving again.  These corpse eating ghosts will spread a terrifying plague and once they occupy Moonlight Forest, all of White Cloud City will be polluted with this fatal poison!”

I immediately came forward and after talking to them, the commander happily said, “You are an adventurer that has arrived in White Cloud City?  Great!  White Cloud City has young adventurers again!  Alright, young man, can you step on the glorious path of survival and help me with a small errand?”

“Ding~!”

System notification: Do you accept patrol team leader Wack’s request?

……

I didn’t hesitate to click accept.

“Ding~!”

System notification: You have accepted the quest [Kill corpse eating ghosts]!  (Current difficulty: 250)

Quest Details: On the border of the Moonlight Forest, there are a bunch of corpse eating ghosts spreading disease.  Please go and kill 100 of these corpse eating ghost and then report back to patrol team leader Wack.

It was a very simple quest, it was just killing a hundred corpse eating ghosts.  I tried talking to the NPC again, but I found that I couldn’t get any more quests.  It seemed like I could only kill these corpse eating ghosts!

Brandishing the Roaring Flame Spear, I headed to the border of Moonlight Forest.  In the distance, the corpse eating ghosts were wandering about.  The aggro range of these monsters wasn’t far, or they would have already attacked the city.

[Broken Teeth Corpse Eating Ghosts] (Normal Monster)

Level: 70

Attack: 650-820

Defense: 450

HP: 12000

Attack type: Poison attack.

……

From far away, I raised the Roaring Flame Spear in one hand as I was covered in light.  Then I sent out the Roaring Flame Soaring Dragon!

“2825!”

The Roaring Flame Soaring Dragon had already reached intermediate level and its attack power had greatly increased.  Even if it was a level 70 monster, I could still deal close to three thousand damage to it.  This corpse eating ghost immediately let out a low roar after being attacked and slashed at my armour with a poisoned claw!

“245!”

It was a joke, it couldn’t break my defense at all!  245 damage to me who had 4520 HP wasn’t considered anything!

I released a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers and Shield Break Slash, dealing large damage to the corpse eating ghost!

“1789!”

“1864!”

“1822!”

“3205!”

The Shield Break Slash was just too strong.  Although the intermediate level increased the attack by 120-150%, facts proved that the Shield Break Slash wasn’t just effective at destroying magic shields, but also had a certain effect in disregarding physical defense.  So the Shield Break Slash’s attack power was definitely doubled!

Under this powerful consecutive attack, the corpse eating ghost gave a pitiful “jie, jie” cry before turning into a pool of flesh and blood which looked very disgusting.  It was a good thing that it disappeared quickly, as the blood seeped into the ground in less than two seconds, leaving behind the corpse eating ghost’s corpse.

Using the Roaring Flame Spear to push the corpse aside, I picked up two gold coins from the ground.  Normal monsters were not generous to begin with.  The current gold coin to RMB exchange rate was 1:1, so it wasn’t easy to earn money.  Only I could easily defeat this level 70 monsters.  If it was a normal level 40-50 player, they would have already been chase away by this corpse eating ghost.

With the power of the Roaring Flame Spear, the power of my Dark Gold Equipment, and my 12 star strength growth rate, the powerful skills were able to almost instantly empty the HP bars of the level 70 corpse eating ghosts.  My killing speed could be considered flying and in less than half an hour, I had already killed half of the 100 corpse eating ghosts needed.

Not far away, there were quite a few players that came out of the east gate.  They all had happy looks like they were on vacation, but they were no longer as relaxed after meeting the corpse eating ghosts.  Two corpse eating ghosts caught a swordsman and emptied his HP in just 2-3 bites, scaring that swordsman away.

I looked carefully at him.  This swordsman was covered in half Silver and half Bronze Equipment and was level 45.  It was no wonder he was beaten so fiercely by the high 820 attack power of the corpse eating ghosts.

There were more and more players that came to the border of the Moonlight Forest.  I didn’t care that much and my spear was like a wild dragon, killing corpse eating ghosts one by one.  In less than an hour, the quest was finished!

I was the first player to finish the quest and I quickly ran back to patrol team leader Wack.  After choosing to speak, Wack said with a happy smile, “Brave young man, your strength really is shocking!  Come, this is your reward!”

“Ding~!”

System notification: You have completed the quest [Kill corpse eating ghosts].  You have received 1200000 experience, 300 gold coins, and 1200 prestige.

Not bad!  1200 prestige for an hour long quest was considered worth it!

But then, patrol team leader Wack knitted his brows and revealed a heavy look.  He said, “Although quite a few corpse eating ghosts have been killed, the Moonlight Forest are still under the control of the forces of darkness.  I don’t know what those damn liches are planning.  Young warrior, are you willing to make a contribution to the country?”

“Ding~!”

System notification: Will you accept this quest?

……

I didn’t even say anything else, the following quest had to be taken, otherwise I would have killed those corpse eating ghosts for nothing!  I clicked confirm and the system notification rang out again.

“Ding~!”

System notification: You have accepted the quest [Kill the Lich King]!  (Current difficulty: 625. Unique quest)

Quest Details: Head to the depths of the Moonlight Forest, there is a blood coloured sentry post of the forces of darkness.  Please kill a hundred liches and obtain the head of the Lich King.  You must be careful, the liches and the Lich King have very powerful dark magic, they will cruelly kill their enemies!

……

I was a bit surprised, it was actually a 625 difficulty quest and it was a unique quest!  Being first to leave the city and kill the corpse eating ghosts really was a smart move!

Looking around, there were quite a few players that had reached the Moonlight Forest, so killing corpse eating ghosts here wasn’t realistic.  After all, there were no prospects fighting for monsters with a large group of people, so I headed into the forest.  The players behind me were all surprised, “That kid is going into the Moonlight Forest!  Broken, he’s actually going in alone!  The monsters there are all over level 70!”

“Che!  He’s just seeking death!  Let’s ignore him and keep killing corpse eating ghosts!”

Night fell all around me.  The Moonlight Forest was very quiet and the silver moonlight rippled through the forest.  This place was occupied by the forces of darkness, so there were white skeletons that were wandering around the forest.  But I didn’t antagonize these skeletons since they weren’t my goal.

“Di!”

With a soft soft, Ling Xue sent me a message, “Little fool, how is it over there?”

I replied, “I took a quest and I’m doing it now.  What about you?”

Ling Xue said, “I went to the Adventurer Guild with big sister to take a quest!  He, he, these quests all have a required level, so I took quite a few with big sister!”

I replied with a smile, “Then work hard!”

“Un!”

After hanging up on Ling Xue, I remembered Qin Yun.  This girl who had pretended to be my girlfriend at the market for half an hour, how was she doing?

So I sent a message over, “Qin Yun, how are you right now?”

Qin Yun immediately replied, “I’m doing quests with Ghost Fire and Dragon Soul!  Bookworm, I’m so happy that you sent me a message~”

Qin Yun sent a smiley emote which made me a bit awkward.  It was as if since Qin Yun entered the studio, I had started paying less attention to her!  Forget it, I’ll make up for it later……

After comforting Qin Yun, I turned off all communications.  I looked up and under the moonlight, I found a dark sentry post standing in a clearing in the forest.  The sentry post was completely blood coloured and there were skeletons wandering around.  This sentry post was built from jet black lumber and there were dried human heads hanging from spikes, as if they were showing off their spoils of war.

I couldn’t help giving a shiver.  This damn game designer really went all out.  If it was Ling Xue, Ling Yue, or the other girls, they would be screaming in fear.  It was a good thing that it was just me who had played many games and was used to this brutal scene.  I was used to it and I wasn’t afraid.

“Sha, sha……”

Several skeleton warriors were patrolling and shook the leaves around them.  In the high sentry tower, there was a black shadow there that was wearing a dark cloak, looking like a magician.

I was surprised and immediately looked over with the Star Eyes, but it was too far for me to see anything.  It seemed like I could only kill the skeleton patrol group and then approach the camp!

So I changed to the Star Chasing Bow and sent out an armour piercing arrow.

“Pada!”

“2764!”

The skeleton warrior that was hit immediately raised their guard as their eyes glowed red.  They lifted their wide sword as they charged over!

I raised the Roaring Flame Spear and went forward with a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers along with a Shield Break Slash.  Four damage figures appeared and in just a moment of contact, my powerful attacks had emptied the HP bar of this level 70 skeleton warrior.  After two more normal attacks, the 6 second cooldown finished and I used an Ice Wind Thorn and a Whirlwind Slash, finishing off this skeleton warrior. It collapsed into bones on the ground and dropped several gold coins.

I didn’t have time to pick it up because two other skeletons had already come over!

“Pa, pa!”

With two sounds, their swords hit my armour and I felt a bit of pain.  My HP dropped by 500 and my heart skipped a beat.  This wasn’t good, there was too much of a level difference and even if my defense was far greater than the attacks of the skeletons, they were still breaking my defenses!  A level disparity ignored stat differences and it was a very serious situation!  It seemed like it really was a bit too much to do a 625 difficult quest alone!

But thinking about it, I would kill it if it came.  There was no reason for me to retreat.

The Roaring Flame Spear lit up and my skills flew out at the skeleton warriors again!
