Chapter 449 - 449 Shadow Kill“s Grim Reapers

449 Shadow Kill“s Grim Reapers

Outside the Blade Peak Canyon.

“It’s here, isn’t it? The Blade Peak Canyon, rumors say that there is a hidden map inside which is our mission’s destination?”

“Yeap.”

“I say, fatso, can’t you say a few more words?”

“Nope.”

There were two of them, one was tall and thin while the other was short and round. Anyone who saw them would think that they were good partners as that combination was really comical. The mouth of the tall and thin man stuck out, and he had a chin like that of an ape. When he opened his mouth, he would chatter away like a machine gun. As for the short and fat man, he always had a blank expression and stared straight ahead.

They were Yesterday Morning and Tomorrow Night!

If Lin Jie was there, he would definitely be shocked. Those two were known as the Shadow Kill’s Grim Reapers! They were the strongest mercenaries in the Shadow Kill Workshop and were even more powerful than the leader, Shadow Kill! As long as one was a gaming veteran that had been in the gaming world for some time, they all knew that the Shadow Kill Workshop’s true aces were those two, Shadow Kill’s Grim Reapers!

Yesterday Morning stretched out his right hand, which was long and white—it was so smooth it shone with luster. Most probably, even girls would feel a sense of inferiority once they saw such a hand. Such a pair of hands should be gently playing the piano or carefully playing the zither...

However, at that moment, he just casually stuck the pinky of his perfect right hand into his nostrils and anyhow dug his nose.... Afterward, he used his thumb to press on it and flicked it away elegantly. Then he smiled and said, “I say, fatso, are you currently in your estrus period? You’re still not satisfied with such a handsome partner, do you have to go find that Codename Lone Wolf? Also, according to what I know, Lone Wolf is still giving out orders at the City of Light, so why don’t you just go there to find him directly?”

Tomorrow Night shook his head while his eyes that were in a daze suddenly lit up. He said calmly, “He’s fake.”

“Fake?” Yesterday Morning was shocked. “How did you know?”

Tomorrow Night did not move his head, but his eyeballs gradually turned upwards and stared straight at his partner. He stretched out his right hand and pointed to his head. “Using my head.”

“You’re hinting that I’m an airhead, aren’t you!?” Yesterday Morning glared at him, and with a flick of his finger, a huge machete, which was three meters long, suddenly slashed down towards Tomorrow Night! With the amount of strength he was using, it was as if he wanted to chop Tomorrow Night into half!

“Let’s go.” Tomorrow Night stepped back and pulled back his neck slightly, the blade slashed past while almost touching him and chopped off a strand of hair. Tomorrow Night frowned as if he was not satisfied with how he had dodged the attack this time. His lifeless face casually took a look at his partner, then he took out a scroll. After tearing it, a teleportation passageway instantly appeared in front of him, which connected straight to Blade Peak Canyon.

Inside the Blade Peak Canyon.

—’Your Combo Attack has exceeded 80 Consecutive Strikes, your damage increases by an additional 40%.’

Wolves howling and wailing, the sound of weapons piercing through flesh, as well as the sound of blood splashing everywhere, filled the tent, intensifying the bloody atmosphere! The weapon in Lin Jie’s hand was no longer the Broken Blade but a normal Silver longsword, which created afterimages when swung. Actually, it partially gave off the impressive aura of the time when Character Z had filled the sky with swords.

Seven hours—Lin Jie had already stayed in these tents for a total of seven hours! After figuring out what the system meant, Lin Jie had immediately found what was most valuable in the map and entered the tents to kill those annoying Worshippers and Munjo Ogre Warriors. He let the Beast Tamer summon Wild Wolves to practice his Combo Attack.

Broken Blade’s Attack was too much, so he might accidentally kill the target. Therefore, he had randomly switched to a Silver longsword.

After training for a long time, Lin Jie also became more and more proficient in his Combo Attack technique and could even easily pass the 70 consecutive strikes limit. If he was in a good condition, then he could exceed 80 consecutive strikes, just that he had been unable to break through the 90 consecutive strikes limit.

However, the Munjo Ogres were a special species and had a special weakness, which was they were afraid of Combo Attacks. If he left the Blade Peak Canyon, then most probably, he would not be able to have such a high number of consecutive strikes anymore.

“Looks like there is also a limit to killing Munjo Ogres to train Combo Attacks, I’ll have to go deeper in.” Lin Jie equipped his Broken Blade, and with a set of Combo Attack, which flowed as smoothly as running water, he directly killed the Beast Tamer.

“It’s a pity that the Blade Peak Canyon is a hidden map. If there is someone to duel with, like a player, I can immediately spar after battling with monsters, then through the duel, I can most likely improve even faster.”

The Beast Tamer dropped 2 fragments. Presently, Lin Jie had 5 Training Handbook Fragments in his hands, this drop-rate was really low... The good thing was that the drop-rate of the Silver Mini-Bosses was quite high. Currently, another staff shining with golden light was dropped.

[Munjo Summoning Staff] (Gold)

Requires: Level 45

Magic Attack: 384-528

Wisdom: +25

Endurance: +25

Health Points: +200

Additional effect: Your Summoned Beast’s attributes will be increased by 8%

That was quite a good weapon for summoning-type jobs, especially for players who had powerful summoned beasts with high attributes. With the enhancement of such a weapon, the advantage of the summoned beast could be further strengthened. Thus, that staff could be sold for quite a high price.

Lin Jie stored the staff into his backpack and continued to search for the next tent. The Combo Attack technique, which Lin Jie had become proficient in after training, was very much effective when dealing with the Munjo Ogres, which had that special weakness.

After finding out the special feature of the monsters where Combo Attacks were more effective, the amount of time Lin Jie spent to kill those Silver Mini-Bosses greatly decreased—it was even simpler than killing normal Elites. Lin Jie plundered clean the tents and killed all the Munjo Ogres inside, converting them to experience points, gold coins, Handbook Fragments, and equipment.

If normal players saw what Lin Jie was doing, their jaws would drop from shock. What Lin Jie was farming now were not any Normal monsters or Elite monsters, but Mini-Bosses! Although their grades were low, they had the special features of Bosses. Also, their attributes were very powerful, the only difference would be the health bar.

Only Lin Jie, who had superb equipment like the Broken Blade, high proficiency in Combo Attack technique, and that he understood the meaning of the system (being the high-end player that he was), could farm such monsters so effortlessly. If it were a normal team, who knew how many times they would be wiped out before they slowly got used to the Mini-Bosses? That was the difference between players.

After finishing plundering all the tents, over 20 hours had already passed in the real world! Lin Jie felt like he was about to deplete all his strength from all the farming, but the huge amount of loot kept him energized.

That was an extremely miraculous state as his body was already a little numb from overstraining himself. However, he did not feel tired mentally at all. Instead, he was surprisingly sober and flexible, where his movements were much more precise and smooth than before.

At least 30+ Munjo Ogres had died under Lin Jie’s sword. Just counting the number of Level 45 Munjo-Series Gold weapons, already 19 had been dropped! Lin Jie was on cloud nine by the fearsome drop-rate that neared 20%. His experience bar also increased greatly by 44%, he was close to Level 45.

Also, Lin Jie had found quite the number of treasure chests when looting the tents. Those treasure chests were not those treasure chests in the wild, but ones that stored food and some item apparatus for the Orcs. There were 5 gold coins in each treasure chest, so he had obtained 70+ gold coins alone.

“Blade Peak Canyon is really a wonderful place,” Lin Jie could not help but exclaim as he went offline temporarily and drank a bottle of nutrient serum. After carrying out all the training program once, he came back online. Being young was one’s largest asset!

Lin Jie turned his attention to the cave in the distance. The cave was so deep it looked like a bottomless hole that was placed horizontally. One could roughly hear screams coming out from within, but the screams were rhythmic!

“Big brother, I’m hungry...” At that moment, Rocca, who followed behind Lin Jie, scratched his face in dismay. He pouted as he shook his arms. “I want to eat something!”

That NPC was very hungry now, he wouldn’t be full if one fed him now.

Lin Jie threw two pieces of bread and looked as that small kid ate it happily. He asked, “Tell me, what is hidden inside that cave? Is it the Magical Beasts you Munjo Ogres had reared?”

As Lin Jie heard the extremely rhythmic sound, which was as loud as thunder, his first reaction was that there was a fearsome monster that the Munjo Ogres had reared. That sound was like thunderous roars of explosion, and even the small stones at the entrance of the cave trembled with each sound.

“Oh, that...” Rocca chuckled. “If you give me something to eat, then I’ll tell you.”

Ding~

Two choices appeared in front of Lin Jie: Feed or Give up.

Lin Jie took a look at Rocca’s hunger bar, it was at 45% now, if he let Rocca eat another meal, then Rocca would most likely be full. When Lin Jie was battling, Rocca would automatically enter Eternal Stealth Mode and could not be detected.

Kaboom— Kaboom—

With each step taken, the ground seemed to tremble with it. The walls seemed to be overwhelmed by the sounds as gravel dust kept on dropping as if it was going to collapse any moment now.

“Fog Concealment!”

Dust was scattered everywhere, so it had already caused the inside of the cave to become full of haze. Lin Jie activated Fog Concealment and went in deeper...

‘Just what has such power? A Prehistoric Behemoth?’

If he could meet a Prehistoric Behemoth in this hidden map, that would be an extremely awesome occurrence as the more covert the place was, the higher the chances that the Behemoth might lay an egg. Stealing a pet egg during the incubation period was one of the main ways to become rich.

...

Near the entrance of the Blade Peak Canyon, which was the camp of the Munjo Ogres, two figures appeared, one short and thin, and the other short and fat. Looking at the Munjo Ogre Camp that was in ruins, they both gasped and exchanged a look, they were astonished.

“OMG, all these monsters are Silver Mini-Bosses, right? After farming them, one would be able to get quite the amount of money and equipment. It’s equivalent to us taking quite a few bleaching missions[1].” Yesterday Morning shook his head helplessly and said, “Originally, I planned to come in and reap some benefits so I could go out to hit on some girls. Great, now nothing’s left.”

Tomorrow Night looked at Yesterday Morning coldly then squatted down with his short and fat figure. He pulled out a dagger, which was completely carved with Dark Runes, and started peeling the skin of the Wild Wolves summoned by the Beast Tamer. A few seconds later, he threw a large soft and white fur at Yesterday Morning. The fur smacked right in his face before he could react...

“Fur.”

Yesterday Morning puked blood from anger. The fellow’s face was filled with blood from the bloody fur, which smacked him. He lifted his machete again and was about to swing it again, but Tomorrow Night waved his hand and shouted, “Someone’s here.”

“Someone? Where?”

“Come!”

Tomorrow Night sniffed as he squinted his eyes. Almost instantly, his nose swelled up twice as big as before, looking completely discordant on his face.

That was the skill [Scent Searching], one would temporarily lose all sense of sight, but the perception range would increase by ten folds. During the skill, one would be able to perceive the movements of other people, but not as powerful as the Silver-Feathered Eagle. In the end, it was only able to distinguish the direction of the enemy, which would have no effect in places with many people.

Tomorrow Night smelled two different scents from within the cave, so he dashed towards the cave!

“Hey, I say Tomorrow Night, wait for me... You bast*rd! F*cking looking down on me just because I use a machete and run slower than you.” Yesterday Morning had a bitter look on his face. In the blink of an eye, it was as if he had transformed from a lazy sloth to a fast eagle, sprinting away.

[1] Meaning missions to guard the player’s corpse after the player was killed, then kill again when the player revives, until all the players’ equipment was dropped and level back to 1.
