Reborn: Super God of War - Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Bi Yueshuang

“Lone Wolf, your team, Savage Blade, is far from having 40 people, right?” Breeze Wind felt Codename Lone Wolf’s hostility and took in a deep breath. The first thing she did was to actually… retreat! She looked at Lone Wolf and pointed at the guild symbol that had disappeared from the top of her head. She then continued asking, “From what I know, the only healers are 3 Paladins and a Priest, right?”

Lin Jie was at a loss of what to do because of Breeze Wind’s action. He nodded and said, “You want to join us?”

“Not want, need!” Breeze Wind waved her slender fingers and smiled. “To be honest, I’m not doing well in Never Setting Sun because of a Druid called Bi Yueshuang. I’m always treated unfairly in the guild. For example, instead of going to a proper dungeon, I’ve been sent to this damned place.”

“Eh?” Lin Jie was alarmed.

Breeze Wind shrugged in annoyance as she explained, “She’s my sister…”

It turned out that Breeze Wind and Bi Yueshuang were sisters in real life. Breeze Wind was working to earn money for a game studio, while Bi Yueshuang was a teacher.

When The New Age was launched, Breeze Wind had entered the game. She had joined the biggest guild in Sunshine City, Never Setting Sun, and had gotten a good position because of her excellent operation and beautiful looks.

As for Bi Yueshuang, who knew why this teacher had decided to enter the game? Moreover, she had been displaying great talents and power in the game and had even become the number one Druid in Sunshine City. Bi Yueshuang’s appearance and body were very sexy, much more impressive than Breeze Wind’s slightly flat body. After seeing Bi Yueshuang, Scorching Sun had come up with all sorts of methods to recruit her.

Although he did not know that they were sisters in real life, he knew that they had a good relationship. Naturally, Scorching Sun had been making use of Breeze Wind.

Every day, Scorching Sun would send dozens of messages to Breeze Wind to arrange for real-life meetups and in-game gatherings with Bi Yueshuang… Breeze Wind, who was not willing to go out of her way, never gave Scorching Sun any good results, and only focused on leading her own elite team.

Bi Yueshuang could not bother patronizing Scorching Sun either, leaving him frustrated. This time, he had intentionally ordered for Breeze Wind’s elite team to find Bi Yueshuang too. Before this, he had already given secret orders to others that if they were to find Bi Yueshuang and Breeze Wind was still unsuccessful in recruiting her, they should just kill Bi Yueshuang.

“Why don’t you send a message to your sister instead of finding me?” asked Lin Jie, puzzled.

“I want to as well, but I don’t know why her phone has been switched off all the time recently. She also changed her home address. Also, she’s a beginner in the game. I think she blocked messages from the friends’ column. I can’t contact her even if I want to.” Breeze Wind shrugged. She then changed the topic and said, “Okay, let’s discuss our business. I want to join Savage Blade.”

Lin Jie looked at her and sized her up. He said, “Why did you suddenly become so docile? Are you scheming something?” According to Lin Jie’s first impression of her, she should be a capable person with a strong personality and was cold to others. At the very least, that was how she carried herself all along.

“I’m a team leader in the guild. If I don’t pretend to be intimidating, how will I be able to control others? Hey, hey, can you stop talking such nonsense? Let’s talk business.”

Lin Jie wiped his sweat and thought for a while. He asked, “Can you use Battle Rez?”

“Are you looking down on me?” Breeze Wind glared at him. Which Druid could not use Battle Rez?

“I’m talking about group Battle Rez. You can summon the Tree of Life, which means you are here to complete the mission [World’s Origin], right? Once you reach the 9th cycle of that mission, you’ll be awarded a group Battle Rez,” said Lin Jie.

Breeze Wind revealed the mission column and said, “You know this too? That’s right, I’m trying to complete the World’s Origin, and this so happens to be the 9th cycle. However, the difficulty of this mission is too random. This time, the mission I received is to enter the Spider Den in Sunshine City and find the corpse of the Fallen Demigod Spider, Gaka.”

“Welcome to Brotherhood.” Lin Jie smiled.

Breeze Wind was shocked. She replied, “You are exactly the same as the rumors online. Your emotions fluctuate, just like the weather. You looked as if you were ready to eat someone earlier, and now you are suddenly smiling happily.”

Lin Jie did not explain much and said casually, “You should be prepared for traps when working with me. Just look at those teammates of yours, and you’ll know.”

“I’ve heard about it since a long time ago. However, I also know that you are very protective of your comrades. You are not that crafty. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have wanted to work together with a sly old fox either.” Breeze Wind smiled. “But, Don’t Sweep Fallen Flowers is such a poor fellow. He’s an avid fan of yours. If he knew that it was the godly Codename Lone Wolf who sold him out earlier, he would go crazy.”

Lin Jie shrugged and said, “First of all, I’m not old. Second of all, Fox is someone else. Let’s go, continue ahead. Other than the Mutated Spider Thread, my goal is to help you find your sister Bi Yueshuang. My team is lacking a Beast Druid, hope you can help us out. Oh, that’s right, there’s another mission now. I have to help you find the Demigod Spider.”

“Mmmh!” Breeze Wind smiled happily.

The loots from the two Hidden Bosses, Spider Prophet and Spider Overlord, were mediocre. There were only 2 pieces of Gold equipment. Lin Jie chopped off all eight limbs of the Spider Overlord.

He remembered that in his previous life, there had been an Engineer, who had been collecting thousands of spider legs and had created a Biochemical Spider Leg. It could be attached to a player’s back, allowing them to fly from house to house and walk on walls—it was extremely useful. Allowing Holy Light Winged Armor to absorb these spider legs should be useful. Moreover, the legs from the Spider Overlord were of high quality, so the effects should be great.

“Holy Light Winged Armor, eat them.” Since Breeze Wind had become a friend from foe, there was no need to hide anything. His body shook, and Holy Light Winged Armor appeared, swallowing all of the spider legs.

The originally dazzling Holy Light Winged Armor was dyed with a touch of green, and it underwent a strange transformation. All of its feathers slowly gathered and merged into eight strands, before they grew thicker and denser, just like eight spider legs.

Ding~

—”Holy Light Winged Armor has been successfully upgraded. With the special effect [Spider Transformation], your Holy Light Winged Armor can be transformed into spider legs, allowing you to ignore the terrain and move at 110% speed for 3 minutes. Cooldown time of 10 minutes.”

“Spider Transformation!”

Holy Light Winged Armor shook and turned into threatening spider legs covered in thorns. As soon as Lin Jie thought about it, the spider legs immediately grabbed onto the walls, allowing him to climb up with haste.

“How useful!”

“How disgusting,” commented Breeze Wind.

“Hehe.” Lin Jie laughed and absorbed all of the Spider Prophet’s legs as well. However, the quality of Spider Prophet’s legs was not as high, and it merely reduced the cooldown of [Spider Transformation] by 5 seconds.

“Let’s go. Continue deeper,” said Breeze Wind.

“Wait.” Lin Jie looked around and took out his Silent Killer. He aimed above their heads and let out a few shots. The sound of gunshots reverberated around the walls and tons of “Swishing” sounds could be heard from the surroundings. Many spiders were frightened, and they came scurrying out. Lin Jie then waved his hand and said, “Let’s go.”

These spider monsters could cause a lot of trouble for players that ran into them on the road. It would not be easy to know whether this path had been cleared as well.

Breeze Wind thought to herself, ‘He won’t even let go of such details, this person is very meticulous!’

Continuing forward…

They encountered large amounts of spider monsters on their way. However, Lin Jie did not hide his abilities and killed them off with ease. With Breeze Wind’s support healing, it was even easier for his massacre. He cleared everything all the way into the cave, and he earned a whole 22% of experience points!

The two of them reached the end of the road, which split into 20 different paths. Only one of them led to the Spider Den.

“Where should we go?” asked Breeze Wind.

She suddenly felt really at ease when she said those words. In the past, when she was still the team leader, she had to make all the decisions herself without any help. Now, she could just hand it all over the to man in front of her. The feeling of being able to depend on someone felt pretty good.

“Here.” Lin Jie kept observing. As a matter of fact, there was a hint on every path to help players spot the real ones from the fakes. There were only a few things in The New Age that solely relied on luck. For example, the split paths in front of them had a subtle fishy smell. The odors were transmitted out like waves every 15 seconds.

The path with the strongest pungent smell was the right one. However, no matter how good the physical ability of a player was in The New Age, a human nose could not tell the difference between similar smells. How could it be easy? There must definitely be some other things or ways for him to make use of this hint.

Lin Jie activated Holy Light Winged Armor. After Spider Transformation, the Holy Light Winged Armor would react strangely to the smell of spiders. The spider legs explored the caves and moved about. The stronger the pungent smell, the more the hair on the legs stood.

After testing around, Lin Jie determined the correct path. He called out to Breeze Wind and entered it.

After entering the tunnel, it was as if all traces of light were swallowed. Even if one lit a candle, there would still be no light. It was [Light Devour] once again, a special feature of such strange maps.

Creak—

A spider was hanging high above. The moment the two of them passed by, it descended at high speed and pounced forward to bite Lin Jie.

There was no light in the cave. Lin Jie could barely see a small glimmer reflected from the spider’s eyes. He figured out the spider’s position just in time and landed a critical hit on the spider with precision.

Lin Jie suddenly realized that when his field of vision was basically 0, he had to feel the position of the monster through hitting it with Broken Blade. Although it was much more difficult, it helped him gain experience for his combo attack.

Using the spider as a target, Lin Jie practiced a few combo attacks without his sight and depleted the health of the spider!

—”You have killed Shadow Ambush Spider. You gained 90,000 EXP (EXP Gem bonus, City of Light achievement bonus, over-level kill)

“So many experience points.” Lin Jie was surprised.

Although the Shadow Ambush Spider’s attack was over 1,600, its Defense and health points were really low to the point where they were just like an assassin-type spider. Such monsters offered high experience points but were not easy to deal with either. If he were to be any slower, Lin Jie would have been ambushed. It would not have been a pretty situation considering the monster’s high Attack Points.

“Ah—”

Just then, Breeze Wind let out a shriek. There was a whoosh as the air was sliced through by a deafening sound! A low growl came from a beast. It was not a spider but… a bear!

“Demoralizing Shout!”

Roar—

The roar of the bear rang, and the giant beast stunned Breeze Wind with a hit from its paws. The sound of the bear’s roar disappeared and was replaced by a cheetah’s growl immediately, as well as a loud explosion that cut through the air.

‘What a fast attack!’ Lin Jie wanted to block but found himself unable to keep up. On top of that, there was no vision in this cave, so it was hard to locate the enemy based on the wind sound alone. If he were to attack Breeze Wind by accident, she would definitely die!

“Bi Yueshuang, is that you?” shouted Lin Jie. He raised his hands and summoned Dark Chaotic Hole to protect Breeze Wind and himself. There were a series of explosions as a few “Miss” appeared above Breeze Wind’s head. All of the attacks missed! The ambusher, who had transformed into a cheetah, was shocked, and immediately retreated, waiting for another opportunity to strike.

Breeze Wind woke up from her stunned state. She called out as she healed herself, “Sister!”

“Little Breeze?” There were faint waves in the air.
