nThe Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon was located in the northernmost part of the Eastern Kingdom, the Aegean Forest, where the hometown of the White Elves was. The history behind this was that, due to a White Elf Wizard’s obsession with Elemental Magic and his pursuit over supreme power, he offered his heart as a sacrifice to the Ice Queen and gained the power to control frost.

nHowever, it was a tragedy that the White Elf who acquired the power could not bear the power of the frost due to a problem on his physical qualifications, so it was not long before he was consumed by the power of the frost, completely turning him into a madman.

nThe player’s quest was to kill off the mad White Elf Wizard and release the Aegean Forest from its frozen state.

nLi Yi saw a lot of players on the road who were brave enough to go and explore, but most of their goals were to come out to have a look at the outside world. Hence, it did not take long for them to head back.

nThe level of the wild monsters on the Pantheon Continent’s World map was at least Level 20, and there were also Elite-Level monsters and monster chiefs. If one was not alert and encountered any one of them, one would end up returning to the city immediately for free.

nLi Yi was also very cautious while on the road. Whenever he saw a monster appearing in front, he would walk around it right away, never entering a face-to-face situation.

nOnce one was at Level 10, the Novice Protection would no longer be available. The moment one died, one would lose money and EXP. The most troublesome thing was that, upon dying, the soul would be detached from the body and automatically float to the nearest temple as the body remained at the same spot.

nIn the soul form, there was nothing else one could do besides running. If one wanted to resurrect, one had to find one’s body to re-possess it. However, if one’s body died amid a mob of monsters, even if one came back to life, they would still be killed instantly.

nAt this time, one had two choices, either to continue their corpse run, or to return to the city and be resurrected in a weak state.

nOnce one chose to be resurrected in the city, the equipment durability of the items equipped would all turn to zero, and they would drop a level. Their weak state (with all the character attributes halved) would last for 3 days.

nThis punishment was quite severe, and it was exactly because of this that Li Yi was being very careful.

n“The great God of the Elves, I beg you to liberate our hometown!”

nIn the dilapidated village by the edge of the Aegean Forest, the White Elf Chief led the villagers to kneel in front of a gigantic statue of the God of the Elves, praying continually…

nThe sky was filled with light blue snowflakes, and all the trees here were frozen into ice crystals.

n“Who are you?! Why are you here? What do you want?”

nThe White Elf Chief discovered Li Yi. He then ran in front of him before shouting.

nThe names above the group of the White Elves were yellow in color, which meant that they were neutral NPCs and would not actively attack the players. However, if the players dared to make any moves against them, they would definitely be merciless.

nIn the past, Li Yi did not understand this and tried using a dagger to stab the White Elf Chief. As a result, the other party triggered a ‘Holy Ruling’ and killed him in one shot on the spot. That was not all. As long as he resurrected, the group of White Elves would beat him up together. He had died dozens of times before being able to drag his body away and flee…

nWhen he returned once more, he realized that the names of the White Elves had all turned red.

nWhite meant Friendly, yellow meant Neutral, and red meant Aggro.

nLater, it was only after he went through the Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon for a dozen times that the White Elves changed their attitude toward him to Neutral once more.

nThe Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon boss was only Level 15, but the levels of this group of White Elves’ were at least 50, and all of them were elites. For such an elite, powerful group to be concerned and pray for a Level 15 small boss. In the words of Li Yi, this was simply ridiculous and completely nonsensical.

nLi Yi did not answer. When conversing with an unacquainted NPC, it was much safer to not speak than to speak.

n“Chief, I just saw the statue of the God of the Elves flashing a streak of white light, could it be…”

n“Indicating something?” The White Elf Chief glanced at Li Yi up and down, and his attitude immediately changed. “Human, this is the Aegean Forest, the hometown of the White Elves. Since the evil Ordas has stolen the Elemental Heart, the green forest has become what it is now…”

nThe White Elf Chief said dejectedly, “It is very dangerous here. It is best you leave as soon as possible.”

nLi Yi still ignored him.

nSystem Notification: The Affinity between you and the Aegean Forest White Elf tribe has increased by 20 points.

nLooking at the White Elf Chief this time, a big question mark appeared above his head, indicating that a quest was available.

n“When I stopped Ordas the last time, I lost a crystal necklace, maybe… you could find it in the depths of the Aegean Forest?”

nReceived a quest to help the White Elf Chief to retrieve the lost necklace.

nOkay.

nLi Yi ran toward the depths of the Aegean Forest.

nThe quest of finding this necklace was the key to entering the Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon. If the player did not receive this quest, he would not be able to enter the Instance Dungeon by himself, unless he was teamed up with someone else, and the captain must have this quest on him.

nThe Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon did not limit the number of daily entries. As long as you were willing, you could keep farming here all day long until you were so sick of it that you vomited. This was the veritable champion of King of Pantheon’s latrine dungeon.

nThe EXP from clearing the Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon was pretty handsome. The boss, Ordas, would produce All-class Frost Equipment Set and All-class Weapons, and this was also the only Instance Dungeon that players below Level 15 could enter. As such, there was a constant hustle-bustle here. There were those who brought others here to run, those who were here to run together with the others, those who ran out of necessities, et cetera. The players were here for all kinds of reason. It was at this place where Li Yi earned his first stock of dirty money in his previous life.

nOf course, the most important thing to Li Yi at this moment was not what equipment he could acquire in the Instance Dungeon. His first purpose of coming here was to catch a Small Wild Boar.

nLi Yi walked through the door that was flashing a blue light, and the system prompted: You have entered the Instance Dungeon, Frost Labyrinth. Normal difficulty.

nThe landscape of the Instance Dungeon slowly emerged from the fog, and it was still the scene of the Aegean Forest. However, compared to the outside, it was colder here. Not only were the trees frozen into icy crystals, looking up, one could also see a few White Elves that had been frozen into crystals.

nThree Frosty Snow Wolves were howling non-stop in front, moving back and forth from time to time.

nFrosty Snow Wolf, Level 8 (Normal). Attacking method: Speed moving, Tear.

nLi Yi bypassed the three Frosty Snow Wolves, turning left and right to avoid one monster after another, and skillfully walked through the forest.

nThe way of walking through the Frost Labyrinth Instance Dungeon was studied by Li Yi himself, which was even more detailed and precise than the ones written on the website by the so-called experts. The only explanation for this was because he had spent all his time here from Level 10 to 25.

nHe could not help it. Who asked him to target a tartar the first time he deceived someone? Consequently, the other party gathered some people from a guild to besiege and kill him every day. He could do nothing except to enter the Instance Dungeon again and again.

nAfter about ten minutes of walking, there was a piece of frozen grassland in front, and a blue Small Wild Boar could be seen standing there alone.

nUnlike the red-black Wild Boar outside the Novice Village, this Small Wild Boar had a blue surface, as if it was made out of icy crystals.

nSmall Wild Boar (Mutated), Level 5 (Rare monster), Attribute: Ice. Attacking method: Enhanced Tackled, Tear.

nThis rare Small Wild Boar was the target that Li Yi wanted to lay his hands on!
