Zheng Ziliang also summoned Minstrel and used Spirit Scream to control the movements of the White Wild Boar, that allowed Qiu Yuan to attack and deal damage to the largest extent.

What was worth mentioning was that after being trained to be a melee Shadow Priest in this period of time, she had actually honed her skills and achieved quite an improvement. She had given up on all kinds of dark-type magic that Shadow Priests were good in and directly used Dark Speech for damage output.

Here, some explanation is needed. As Shadow Priests belonged to another type of Priest, if there was Priest equipment, it would definitely be distributed to Holy Priests or Ascetic Priests first. Τhus, to prevent the phenomenon where the Dark Priest had no equipment, there was an unwritten rule: The Shadow Priests are given the priority of being distributed any Priest equipment that increases darkness damage.

For example, the attributes of a Gold robe was as followed: Defense 20-40, Wisdom 15, Spirit 10 with an additional effect of increasing the mana bar limit by 3% and the job restriction was Priest. Then, without hesitation, that equipment would definitely be given to Holy Priests or Ascetic Priests!

Yet, if the special feature of that robe was to “increase darkness damage by 15”, then that equipment would be distributed to the Shadow Priests first as compensation.

However, as the price for increasing additional damage, the other attributes of the robe would be reduced, such as Wisdom only had 10 and so on… The darkness damage could directly be added to the skill of the Dark Priest. Normally, the higher the frequency of the release of skills, the more often the usage of that attribute.

Except, the channeling time of the Shadow Priests would normally be above four seconds and skills with shorter channeling time such as Dark Speech would usually be of low level; thus, the increase in skill level was extremely small. As time passed, the image that Shadow Priests gave people had become trying their best to channel spells, then throw out a skill that dealt negligible damage, just that and that only.

…

The dagger of Qiu Yuan’s magical job sliced open numerous cuts on the body of the White Wild Boar. Her Dark Speech spell that caused blindness was advantageous to her positioning and with Zheng Ziliang’s support, she was attacking vigorously! To be able to deal 100 damage to a monster that was higher by 10 levels from herself, she could be counted as one of the best within Shadow Priests!

“Kiss of the Dark!” Bu Yi said in a squeamish voice, the darkness gathered to form an intense dark ray that hit the White Wild Boar in the head!

The Wild Boar let out a mournful grunt then fell to the ground and died!

Qiu Yuan smiled brightly as she said to the little girl, “Little girl, come out, sister me has already chased the monster away.”

“Sister… Careful!” shouted the little girl as her bony face was filled with horror.

Another black-brown Enchanted Wild Boar suddenly charged towards Qiu Yuan, banging away numerous buildings in the way. Its sharp tusks reflected cold light and its bloodthirstiness.

With such a long distance for charging, it would definitely be a critical hit! How could Qiu Yuan’s small and weak Priest’s body be able to take it?

Boom—

A dull and loud sound could be heard, Enchanted Wild Boar’s body suddenly seemed to have banged onto an iron wall and fell onto the ground. When it rebounded back, a long mark was slid on the ground!

It was Lin Jie!

Lin Jie held onto Broken Blade and used the combo of Forward Charge, Shield Cut following Army Obliteration and attacked!

-851!

-545!

-532!

-585!

-1,044!

A series of damage values popped up! The Enchanted Wild Boar’s only 100 defense was directly ignored, and the damage that was dealt was real and solid! Meanwhile, its tusks had hit Kiara Beast King Armor, but the damage dealt was only 100 !

Lin Jie used Blood Soul Multi-Slash to chop off the head of the Enchanted Wild Boar, and then he glared at Qiu Yuan with his face filled with displeasure.

Zheng Ziliang’s heart dropped, facing Lin Jie’s black face, he smiled and said, “Jie, don’t get mad.”

Qiu Yuan looked at Lin Jie’s expression. Although in her heart she knew she seemed to have done something wrong, her personality that was like a stubborn bull still made her keep her chest upright and asked, “Why are you looking at me like this?”

“Why? Do you know that what you did will make us spend an extra 10 hours of time?” Lin Jie threw the hideous Wild Boar’s head to one side and shouted in rage, “Just lure all the townsfolk out and let them be killed then we would be done, it can be finished in about one hour. Now, that’s great, we need to protect the town here, guard it until the monsters stop attacking and retreat!”

Qiu Yuan had a load on her mind. Although she knew that this was a game when a real disaster was in front of one’s eye, and she had to let the disaster further worsen, the kind her was still unable to accept it.

At that moment, the gravel slowly opened up, the skinny girl’s head meekly stretched out, her hand was holding a loaf of bread that had turned black. “Sister, hurry and leave, it is inevitable that this town will be destroyed. This bread is for you, the monsters have not come yet, so take the chance to hurry and run!”

Bread that had turned black: Can be used when not in battle, recovers 50 points of Health Points within 10 seconds.

Qiu Yuan held the bread and said seriously, “I will help all of you to chase the monsters away!”

“Really?” said the little girl in pleasant surprise.

“Yes, really!” Qiu Yuan took out fruits and grilled meat that were her usual favorites from her bag and even small snacks that she specially asked an Ice Mage to freeze, such as dried pork slice, Then, she stuffed them all into the hands of the little girl.

The sunlight shone on her face, it was as if that smiling face had frozen in place at that moment. Qiu Yuan stood up and left the girl the shadow of her back that was like an angel… Then, she used a pitiful expression towards Lin Jie, her voice changed drastically from being obstinate to a sweet girlish tone, she said, “Brother Fu Sheng… It’s just that we spend a little more time doing the mission, please…”

Lin Jie almost spat out a mouthful of blood, that feeling was as if one’s good brother who was closely associated to you and had eight-packs, suddenly told you that she was actually a girl with 36D—that huge contrast caught one in surprise.

“Alright…” Lin Jie kept his weapons and started to pile up the bricks that had yet to be crushed. “Carry all those things that are still useful and make a few barricades. The attacks of the Enchanted monsters will definitely be very violent, so if there are no barricades, then all of us might just die under the stampede.”

Saint Malo Town only had a mission: Protect Saint Malo Town! As long as there were players who came to this town that was about to be destroyed, they would be able to activate that mission. No matter how many people come, the contents of the missions were all the same: Block the attack of the Enchanted monsters!

The number of the Enchanted monsters was extremely large, just standing on the ground would not work. In reality, the hiding place of that NPC little girl would be the best attacking point. However, if they used that as a battling spot, the townsfolk inside would easily die from the tremors; therefore, decreasing the mission completion rate.

Since they had already accepted the mission, naturally they would do it to the best!

The mission reward of protecting Saint Malo Town would be decided by the rate of the mission completion. As for the specific details of what the rewards were, Lin Jie did not know as that mission was a one and only mission. The person that had activated the mission in Lin Jie’s previous life was the one that had completed the mission by luring countless monsters to kill off all the townsfolk. Thus, obtaining a reward of creating Gargoyle!

Lin Jie and the others’ aim this time was the creation of the Gargoyle—who knew it would turn like this?

“Okay!” Qiu Yuan was full of energy as she started moving the bricks. Hesh, hesh, busily carrying the bricks.

Zheng Ziliang carried a large piece of diamond-shaped steel. He said happily, “Jie, can I ask you a question?”

“Shoot.”

“If one day an earthquake happens in Jiang City and my house is just nicely in the center of the earthquake. I send you a message that I am buried underground, but you were already running away, would you come and save me?”

Lin Jie rolled his eyes. “You, as a man, what are you asking this question for?”

“Just answer me, you, as a man, what are you asking so much for!”

“I will.” Lin Jie took a look at him. “It’s not in the game, if you die in real life, then you would really be dead.”

Zheng Ziliang looked at Qiu Yuan who was trying her best busily carrying the stuff and said meaningfully, “Sometimes, you can’t tell real life from game apart too clearly. Be a little more emotional in the game, and keep a little more reason in real life, less of calculating gains and losses, less of calculating benefits, life would be so much better.”

“When did you become a philosopher?” Lin Jie could not help but smile and say, “Ziliang, your living environment is different from mine, there are many things that you don’t need to bother about or care about, but I must!”

“If you do that then one day, you might become the same in real life. Then it would be too late to regret,” Zheng Ziliang patted Lin Jie’s shoulder heavily and said seriously, “I hope you will not become like that.”

“Qiu Yuan, let me help you!” After Zheng Ziliang finished, he ecstatically ran beside Qiu Yuan and helped to carry the bricks.

Qiu Yuan sniffled her nose. “Are you looking down on me? Go to one side, don’t obstruct me.”

Lin Jie stood at his spot as his thoughts went back to before the War of the Gods… The him at that time stood at the peak of the snow mountain all the time, a mark was even formed on the Heritage Broken Blade’s handle from being held. The aura of his sword, the blood-red light… The glint and flash of the collision of weapons completely covered the two girls behind from view.

“Fu Sheng, I’m telling you to eat something!” With her hands on her hips, Qiu Yuan scolded, “Can’t you just give me some face and bite a few mouthfuls, seeing how I still came to give you food to eat despite being an over 500 watts light bulb?”

Bu Yi was dejected as she shook her head. “He knows that this is a game, and knows that this is only a game. There is no need to eat in the game.”

“Darling, then you eat! I promise that it is much tastier than those cooked by those restaurant chefs!”

“I know that Qiu Yuan can cook delicious food… but this is only a game, I do not need to eat.”
