I woke up the next morning, had breakfast with Lin Jingran and went online. In a flash of light, I reappeared in Chaoyang City. I first went to the warehouse to empty the packages, and then completed another transaction with the Jedi soldiers and Na Yan, throwing all the materials to Jon, after that, quickly repair the equipment and go out with full potions.
Looking at my current level of 58 and 73% experience, if everything goes well, I should be able to reach level 60 if I work overtime tonight, so that I can start the trial mission in the Temple of War tomorrow.
My destination this time is a canyon in the Northern Cold Wind Mountains, Ice Ridge Canyon.
Ice Ridge Canyon is very far away from Chaoyang City. It will still take an hour and a half to move forward at full speed at my current speed. The reason why I chose such a far place to practice is to avoid encountering the trouble of the War Emperor Palace in the middle of the training. We are currently alone and not strong enough to confront them head-on, so we can tolerate it as much as we can, and wait until our guild is established and stronger before settling the accounts with them.
I hid my character ID, put away the iconic golden gun of eternal life, and rode the black wind horse out of the city and quickly disappeared into the northern plains. Now, mounts in the game have become more popular, and there are many players equipped with black mounts. , so the way I dress now is not eye-catching.
The black wind horse has unlimited power, and it took 93 minutes to reach the outskirts of the Ice Ridge Canyon.
Just listen to the roars of wolves on both sides of the canyon. Looking around, you can see the huge white ice wolves on the plains outside the canyon. Their blood-red eyes are wide open and they are constantly patrolling around, as if they will not notice any alien creatures approaching. He rushed forward without hesitation and tore it into pieces.
I immediately threw a reconnaissance spell over and successfully obtained the monster's attributes.
【Ice White Wolf】(strengthened monster)
Qi and blood: 65000
Attack:1520-1870
Defense:1350
Level:70
Skills: Bite, Ice Wind Claw
…
The level 70 enhanced monsters are not very strong in attack and defense, and have average health, which is just right for me to farm alone.
I immediately summoned the little wolf, quickly locked on the ice wolf in front of me, and rushed forward from two directions. As a result, under the suppression of my powerful attributes, the level advantage of the ice wolf could not be used at all. It only took less than 15 seconds for the wolves to join forces and successfully bring down the first ice wolf.
The experience given by the Ice Wolf is quite good. After successfully killing a monster, my experience value increased by almost 0.05%. If calculated according to the current efficiency, I can return to level 59 in about two hours. The efficiency It's still possible. It's entirely possible to reach level 60 within today.
After I came to the conclusion, I felt more confident. I held my spear and kept killing the ice wolves outside the canyon. The flat land at the mouth of the canyon was not very wide, and the refresh rate of these ice wolves was not particularly fast, so An hour later I found that there were not enough ice wolves for me to kill.
But it doesn't matter, there are many monsters in the Ice Ridge Canyon, just go in and kill them.
Holding a spear and rushing into the canyon, I saw a tall ice man blocking the way. I was riding my mount, but I couldn't even look at him at eye level. I can imagine how tall this ice man was.
Before the ice giant rushed up, he quickly threw a reconnaissance spell to read his attributes.
【Ice Ridge Giant】(elite monster)
Qi and blood: 150000
Attack:1720-2230
Defense:1600
Level:70
Skills: Slashing, Ice Blade
…
I was secretly surprised. The attack power of these ice-spine giants was so high that it was almost as good as the level 65 dark gold boss we encountered in Thunder Sound Tower before. Moreover, their defense was also good, reaching 1600 points. It seemed that now There's some trouble.
I don't think I can compete head-on with these ice-ridge giants without a priest. If I want to defeat these ice-ridge giants, I must rely on smart operations, not recklessness.
I decisively canceled my mount status and rushed up on foot with my spear in hand. It was obvious that I wanted to bully these big men for their lack of flexibility.
He quickly appeared on the left side of the Ice Ridge Giant with his S dance steps. The spear in his hand quickly reflected two spear lights on the Ice Ridge Giant's left rib like a dragon out of the sea.
"2051,"
"2204,"
Facing the pitiful damage figures, I couldn't help but frown. Without the bonus of the mount, the attack power was indeed much weaker.
At the same time, the little wolf quickly appeared on the right side of the monster under my double-line operation, and bit the Ice Spine Giant's thigh. As a result, the ice on the Ice Spine Giant's leg almost broke his teeth. After receiving damage, I lost 1883 points of health. Without riding a mount, my attack power is about the same as that of Little Wolf.
The left and right sides were attacked at the same time. The Ice Spine Giant hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to turn towards me. The speed was faster than I expected, but equipped with Xiangyun boots, I was faster, and the Ice Spine Giant had not had time to finish. Turning around, I quickly came behind him and quickly activated the Bull Power skill.
Then, the fire skill decisively took action.
"Boom," there was a sound of blazing fire, and the gun light quickly sank into the Ice Ridge Giant's body, causing a huge damage figure.
"7326,"
This is much more presentable.
After being hit hard all of a sudden, the Ice Ridge Giant turned around angrily, but was attacked by two wolf claws from behind by the little wolf, again losing more than 4,000 points of health.
Due to the weak attack, it took me a full minute and 20 seconds to finally push down the first Ice Ridge Giant. However, the experience the Ice Ridge Giant gave me made me so excited that I couldn’t even open my mouth from ear to ear. Just one Ice Ridge Giant killed me. It gave me 0.5% of the experience of this level, which is 10 times that of the Ice Wolves outside. However, the time required to kill monsters is less than 6 times that of the Ice Wolves. In total, the efficiency has almost doubled.
As a result, after only killing the Ice Spine Giant for about half an hour, my level has returned to level 59. This is great. As long as no one comes to disturb me, I will definitely be able to upgrade to level 60 today.
With infinite motivation, he continued to fight deep into the Ice Ridge Canyon. After killing for a few more minutes, he looked up and saw a small human camp almost completely covered by ice and snow in the valley. The camp was surrounded by many ice ridges. Giant, two NPCs are struggling to support themselves.
In this wilderness, an NPC actually appeared. If anyone tells me that it is not a mission NPC, I will be in trouble.
I immediately fought towards the NPC camp, and it took me almost half an hour to finally reach the outskirts of the camp.
When the two NPCs saw the badge of Chaoyang City on my chest, they immediately asked with joy and excitement: "Excuse me, are you a warrior from Chaoyang City?"
"Of course, you two have already seen the emblem on my body," I replied.
"Great, I know Captain York and the Lord of the City have not forgotten us, and finally sent soldiers to rescue us." The NPC looked a little sad as he said this, "It's just that the mission assigned by Captain York has not been completed, and we have lost it in vain. With so many teammates, how can we have the nerve to go back? Brave warrior, can you help us complete our mission first and then try to send us away?"
"Ding~,"
System prompts: Do you want to accept the main quest [Ice Ridge Fortress]?
It’s such a blessing to be able to kill monsters and do quests at the same time. What’s more, this is the main quest, so there’s no reason why I shouldn’t accept it.
"Ding~,"
System prompts: You accept the mission content of the main mission [Ice Ridge Fortress] (current mission difficulty is 2300), accept the commission from the Chaoyang City scout team, try to find out the deployment of troops inside the Ice Ridge Fortress, and provide necessary information for the subsequent operations in Chaoyang City. According to this, after completing the task, you will receive extremely generous rewards.
Without further ado, after getting the mission, I immediately said goodbye to the two NPCs and continued heading deep into the Ice Ridge Canyon. According to the NPC's introduction, the Ice Ridge Fortress is located inside the canyon.
There is a majestic white fortress in the long and narrow Iceridge Canyon. This is the Iceridge Fortress. It took me more than three hours to finally get here, but at this time the Iceridge Fortress gate was closed, and there were guards on both sides of the gate. There were eight Ice Wolf Knights wearing heavy armor and holding long knives, and some gleaming arrows were faintly exposed on the city wall. If I rushed over rashly, I would have been killed by the archers on the city wall without the help of those Ice Wolf Knights. Shoot into a hedgehog.
I used some tricks to climb up the rock wall next to the canyon with my bare hands, then jumped down from a deserted place and entered the fortress.
As a result, I was unlucky. As soon as I sneaked into the fortress, I was discovered by the monster inside. Two wolf knights carrying scimitars in their hands quickly rushed towards me.
【Fallen Wolf Rider】(strengthened monster)
Qi and blood:70000
Attacks:1580-1920
Defense:1500
Level:72
Skills: Killing Blade, Continuous Slash
Although I only strengthened the monsters, because the level was too high, it was still very stressful for me to deal with two of them at the same time. Moreover, at this time, it was too late to summon pets or mounts, so I had to fight alone.
As a result, I sometimes drank medicine and ran away, and it took almost five minutes to resolve the battle. Fortunately, the two fallen wolf knights didn't want to be friends, otherwise if a few more came, I would definitely die.
It was very dangerous to operate in the enemy's base camp. As a result, I spent more than an hour and was almost killed by the patrols of the fortress defenders several times. After a narrow escape, I finally explored several key places in the fortress one by one.
"Ding~,"
Mission tip: You have completed the reconnaissance of Ice Ridge Fortress. Now you can go back to the scout team member Cook to submit the mission and obtain the mission reward.
After receiving the mission prompt, I immediately planned to leave the Ice Ridge Fortress and go back to hand in the mission. However, the Ice Ridge Fortress was heavily guarded and it was difficult to get in and out. Moreover, the place where I jumped just now was very slippery and impossible to climb up.
There was no other way. It seemed that I had to go back to the city first, and then spend time running over to find the NPC to hand in the task. After I made my decision, I immediately took out the scroll to return to the city.
But the next moment, with the scroll back to the city in my hand, I couldn't leave, because a mighty wolf-riding boss suddenly appeared not far in front of me.
