Chapter 87: Python King’s Staff

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Nice! It’s a magic staff!” Li Yi spoke as he walked over to Snow Chaser’s side.

This magic staff was dark green in color and lightly glowed. From the looks of it, it definitely was not a low-grade staff.

“Holy sh*t, this magic staff looks so awesome. Snow Chaser, quickly check the attributes!” Clutch King came over and said.

Snow Chaser smiled slightly, picked up the magic staff, and lightly tapped it twice. Then, she shared the attributes panel in the party channel.

“Wow, this is awesome!”

Clutch King was envious as he let out a soft chuckle.

“This equipment is top-notch, but you can only equip it at level 15. After killing the boss, your experience points just so happen to have increased by one level.”

Li Yi said with a smile.

The moment they killed the boss, the huge amount of experience points allowed Clutch King and Snow Chaser to level up by one level, but his experience bar was only two-thirds full.

With a smile on her face, Snow Chaser put away the magic staff and went to check out the other items.

…

“These aren’t that bad either.” Li Yi flipped through panel after panel. “This skill book is really suitable for me. It can be used to crowd control monsters.”

Clutch King added from what Li Yi had said, “This skill book is made for tankers, and it’s suitable for boss fights.”

Snow Chaser smiled gently and said softly, “Yup, that cape has an intelligence bonus, and the boots have an increase in movement speed, so those should be good for me.”

“That gauntlet suits me… so I’ll just change out my old one for this now!”

Clutch King licked his lips and looked at the gauntlet with concerningly perverted eyes, as though he had just seen a woman naked.

Li Yi’s mouth twitched when he saw Clutch King like this, and he shook his head speechlessly. “Clutch King, behave yourself. Snow Chaser, could you pass us the equipment.”

Snow Chaser nodded, handed the gauntlet to Clutch King, gave the skill book to Li Yi, and equipped the cape and boots.

For the three of them, the rewards this time could be said to be extremely worth it; each of them had gotten something good.

“Something’s not right, bro!”

After changing into the equipment, Clutch King suddenly patted his head and called out.

“Why?”

Li Yi and Snow Chaser looked at him in puzzlement.

“Yo, didn’t you notice that after we killed the boss, the key that Lord Myron mentioned didn’t appear?!”

Clutch King said in puzzlement.

Hearing this, Li Yi opened the system map. When he saw that there was no quest prompt, he frowned and then took out a scroll from his backpack.

Li Yi opened the scroll for everyone to see.

“Boss…” Clutch King looked at the unchanging scroll and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. “Isn’t it the same as before? What should we do now?!”

Snow Chaser furrowed her brows tightly and was just as puzzled as the other two.

“Mm… Let me think about it.”

Li Yi looked at the scroll and opened the system map again, this time with greater concentration.

He had done a lot of missions like this in his previous life, but now he was unsure as to what should be done next.

After comparing the scroll and the system map, Li Yi still did not get to see anything.

Suddenly, he remembered something and looked in the direction where the Green Python King had come from. Pieces of crushed wood were laid on the ground, forming a wide road. Although it looked very difficult to walk, it still looked like a walkable path.

When he saw the path, Li Yi’s eyes brightened.

“I think I know where the key is. Follow me.”

After saying this, Li Yi took the lead and towards the newly made entrance..

Clutch King and Snow Chaser did not hesitate either and quickly followed behind Li Yi. After a moment, the three of them stopped.

It was not because there was no road ahead. There was just a huge boulder in front of them, which directly blocked them.

“Bro-”

Li Yi immediately waved his hand to stop him from talking, then he took out Deaths Descent. With a golden black aura surrounding him, he fiercely slashed at the boulder in front of him!

The sound of rocks rumbling could be heard as he hacked away at the boulder.

“-1,000!”

Immediately after, a health bar appeared on the stone wall!

“What the h*ll?! What the h*ll? How can this be?”

Clutch King’s face was filled with astonishment.

Snow Chaser, on the other hand, blinked and looked at the health bar on the stone wall with surprise.

At the moment, the two of them still did not know what was going on; this was the hidden mechanism in Divine Revelation that had yet to be shared around.

“This health bar is a little high, it’s estimated to be close to a hundred strikes. Don’t just stand there, come help.”

Li Yi turned his head and said this as he hacked away!

“-1,000!”

Seeing this, Clutch King took a step forward and brandished his dagger excitedly.

“-1,000!”

“…”

He was a Fast-attack Warrior, and his attack speed was much faster than Li Yi’s. By the time Li Yi slashed down with his sword, he had already struck five times.

After standing in place and hesitating for a while, Snow Chaser walked up and raised her magic staff up high. With a swishing sound, she smashed it hard against the stone wall!

“-1,000!”

At that moment, Li Yi and Clutch King stopped at the same time and stared blankly at Snow Chaser.

“What… what’s wrong?”

Seeing the two of them staring straight at her, Snow Chaser scratched her head in puzzlement.

“Snow Chaser… Don’t you know any ordinary attacks… don’t mages have long-range ordinary attacks or something…”

Li Yi asked faintly with Clutch King nodding on the side.

“Ah, about that…”

Snow Chaser blushed as she stammered, “I saw that you were all using weapons to fight, so I thought I wanted to do that too…”

“Well…”

Li Yi and Clutch King looked at each other, then continued on hitting the boulder. They dared not to say anything at all whatsoever. Snow Chaser pouted and waved her magic staff. An elemental ball condensed and smashed onto the stone wall. This was a normal attack from all magic mages.

After hacking away for a while, the stone wall finally shattered, revealing a small hole.

Li Yi put away Deaths Descent and looked at the box inside the small hole.

He quickly opened it, and on the inside was a very ordinary-looking key.

[System Notification: You have obtained the key item for the mission.]

[Mission Notification: Please find Myron for further instructions!]

“Okay, let’s go back and report on the mission!”

Hearing the system’s voice, Li Yi put the box into his backpack, greeted the two of them, and rushed to the camp. He did not see Snow chaser’s resentful look at all.

…

The moonlight shone on the forest, it was like a layer of mysterious silver veil covering the quiet forest.

“Lord Myron!”

Li Yi and the other two walked into the tent.

“Oh? You’re back. Have you found the treasure?”

Myron, who had just finished his dinner, stood up and looked at the three of them in confusion.

“Yes.”

Li Yi stretched out his right hand, and a box appeared out of thin air. He walked forward and opened the box for Myron to see.

“Woah… I really didn’t expect you guys to be successful at all!”

Myron was a little surprised and immediately closed the box.

“Sir Myron, your elder said that this key is related to Emperor City. Now that we have the key, what should we do now?”

Li Yi asked.

“This…”

As soon as he said this, Myron immediately revealed a troubled expression.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “My elder only told me so much, but I think the City Lord of Emperor City, Lord Noel, should know. You may go and ask Lord Noel.”

As soon as Myron said that, the system’s voice sounded!

[System Notification: Abner’s letter, Third round — Lost Key is completed!]

[System Notification: Fourth round — Hall of Remembrance.]

The three of them received the system’s notification and looked at each other tacitly.

“I understand. Thank you very much, Sir Myron.”

Li Yi smiled and thanked him sincerely.

Myron waved his hand as a reply.

Li Yi and the rest did not waste any time. After bidding farewell to Myron, they hurried to Emperor City!
