Chapter 150: Cloud’s Edge
The next moment, Lian Lian received an S-rank quest request from Alu.
Seeing the level, she was stunned; she didn’t expect to have an extra gain from visiting the Crimson Plain, an S-rank quest! This was her first time seeing one.
However, it also indicated that the difficulty was exceptionally high.
In this tent, the only bright red health bar was the one belonging to the person hiding under the cloak in front of her.
It’s him! Lian Lian threw the Steel Dagger in her sub-weapon slot,
Poison Dagger!
Swish!

“…” Not only was the throwing damage only 1, but the poison damage couldn’t be seen either.
“Uh… I was just passing by, you all continue.” Lian Lian slowly retreated.
If she couldn’t deal damage with this attack, what ghost would she fight? Better report to the Boss first.
However, things did not go smoothly. With a cold snort, sharp claws emerged from the shadows.
The invader suddenly turned around, moving so fast that his silhouette couldn’t be seen; the attack was coming!
Whoosh!
As the figures crossed past each other, a huge miss flew out.
“…” The enemy was slightly surprised by the failure to hit.
Lian Lian instinctively turned to escape; the miss was due to a life-saving special skill equipped, which significantly increased her evasion rate, effective only once.
Unexpectedly, it was triggered on the first hit, but if she hadn’t used it… she would have directly returned to town to report.
“I’ve decided… I’ll start with you, human adventurer!” The eerie voice echoed behind her.
Hearing this, Lian Lian couldn’t feel happy at all.
Don’t hit me! I just lost a level yesterday; if I lose another today, wouldn’t that be in vain?
“Eh, I was just…”
“Adventurer, hold him off a little longer!” Alu shouted anxiously.
Wait, why are you talking to yourself now!
In a moment of desperation, she had no choice but to activate her disguise.
But against a high-level enemy, this was completely useless.
With a piercing glare from the chilling red eyes, her disguise was automatically uncovered.
Just as Lian Lian was about to give up resisting, an ice prison descended with a loud crash, trapping the invader inside!
Not only that, but Alu maintained the prison with both hands, chanting quietly, as the surrounding temperature continuously dropped, white snowflakes and ice elements danced together.
It felt like a forbidden spell scene.
-765
-825
-793
-910
…
After an unknown number of attacks, the health bar visibly dropped to 97%.
Tick tock.
Countless ice blocks sliced through the enemy’s body, dark red blood dripped onto the ground.
“Hahaha… A goblin can actually do this much…” The outsider trapped in the prison began to laugh to himself.
“Clan Leader, something feels off about him!”
“I know!” Alu was also under immense psychological pressure at this moment; the person looked utterly unconcerned… it was too eerie.
Suddenly, the ice elements in the prison stopped moving.
In their place, a dark aura surged wildly from the enemy.
Bang!
-16823
The icy prison shattered instantly, and Alu spat out a mouthful of blood, directly losing one-fifth of his health.
The enemy still seemed to have something in mind, but suddenly the ground underfoot shifted, and he fell straight into a gaping void below.
“What is…?” Lian Lian was bewildered.
“It’s Mo Se, another hero’s companion!”
“Ah?”
“Let’s not discuss that now. Kainel, quickly call the others; this time, it might be a fierce battle!”
“Okay, I understand!” The Snow Feather Goblin receiving the order hurriedly ran out.
…
This time, Zane did not just watch; he attacked alongside Treika.
Since they had previously observed the boss’s attack patterns, dodging the wind blades wasn’t that difficult.
However, it was still somewhat stiff.
-6848
Being hit once due to carelessness meant he was low on health.
+4325
He quickly activated the Heart of Revival; combined with health potions and the Blood Blade skill’s healing effect, he was back near full health.
However, the Guardian Spirit was in the air, and Starry could only barely reach it with the Blood Blade; this wouldn’t do, the efficiency was too low.
No need to hide any longer, Zane transformed into the Swift Shadow Wolf, activated a battle cry, and gave the three of them a 25% boost in physical attack, then switched to Wishcaster and invoked a wish — Blessing!
Feeling her body becoming more agile and powerful, Treika glanced curiously at Zane but said nothing further, continuing to draw her bow and shoot arrows.
Each arrow now dealt over 4500 damage, increasing efficiency by at least 0.5 times.
If a mistake occurred, she would use Wish — Firestorm or Ice Flow Shield to remedy it.
As a result, in less than 6 minutes, the Wind Guardian Spirit dispersed into dim wind elements.
They were about to fall back onto the four pillars.
“What happens if we scatter these wind elements?” Zane asked curiously.
“It’s useless.” The elf shook her head. “These wind elements won’t completely disappear; ultimately, they will return to the pillars.”
“Then… should we destroy these pillars?”
“You can try.”
Try and die?
Whatever! Starry raised the Qiu Yue Sword, the sword’s body flowing with cold air, Ice Moon Slash!
At the same time, a strange power surged into her hand; the Qiu Yue’s strike also came!
In that case… Wish — Spirit Heart!
With double boosts, the power of this strike had reached a new level.
Clang————hum————hum————hum————
A massive force poured out at the intersection of the pillars, but… it felt like a fist hitting a rock.
The terrifying backlash spread back through the Qiu Yue Sword!
Her palm throbbed painfully, and Starry could barely grip her weapon! Moreover, the entire enclosed space was filled with the echo of metal clashing, giving anyone who listened a splitting headache.
Looking at the stone pillar, there was just a shallow mark added.
Seeing the dazzling lights flicker on the ground, Treika sighed, “Let’s get out of here first.”
…
“…” Zane still felt a bit dizzy now.
“Do you all understand now?”
“This challenge… can it really break the illusion? Regardless of whether time runs out, the Guardian Spirit becomes stronger, which makes it meaningless.”
“…” Treika fell silent, then said, “I don’t know either. I’ve been here so long and have only discovered this place.”
“Could it be that evil thoughts have tampered with it?” Zane frowned.
“It’s a possibility.”
…
After Flowing Flower City was conquered, the players who originally resided there fled to the other four cities.
This indirectly reduced the average resources.
Of course, this was only for the leveling areas around the city.
If they really wanted to level up quickly and farm equipment, they could go to Jiyue City, where wandering monsters and decayed undead were everywhere.
It’s hard to say whether they would level up or down.
By the way, today the first guild in the national server — Cloud’s Edge, was established.
The 57 million big sum obtained for the guild creation order made everyone chatter excitedly.
Since Zane was in the illusion, he did not receive the world announcement.
“President, are we really going to station ourselves in Yunshui City?” A soft, slightly anxious voice questioned from a woman. “I’ve heard there’s a very terrifying War God player there. Moreover… several old rivals are also there.”
“Then all the more reason to go.” The man smiled proudly. “I’ve already asked Zh and the others to recruit members; before the second guild creation order appears, it’s our time to develop. I’ll let them know what a renowned and substantial guild is like!”
