Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God - Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Chapter 79 - Mysterious Black Flame

In the core area of Kuruk Fields, one could see groups of Grassland Lion Cubs every hundred meters or so . If a party's positioning were slightly off, they would attract tens of Grassland Lion Cubs towards them . Moreover, at the large tree located in central region of the fields, there lived a Level 6 Elite Grassland Lion . That place could be said to be a forbidden area for Level 6 players .

However, inside this forbidden area, Gentle Snow's party was constantly clearing the surrounding Level 6 Grassland Lion Cubs . They were clearing out an empty land for the purpose of hunting the Elite Grassland Lion . If ordinary players were to see their daring actions, they would definitely exclaim in astonishment . A party waged battle against more than ten Grassland Lion Cubs .

Wearing a suit of azure armor, Gentle Snow valiantly battled . She was like a War Goddess, fighting one against ten thousand . A simple slash from her had sent three Grassland Lion Cubs flying . Simultaneously, she was dodging the claws of the remaining two Lion Cubs . If an expert were to see Gentle Snow battle, their eyes might have popped out of their sockets by now . Although her single slash seemed simple, she struck the vital points of all three Grassland Lion Cubs . Her dodges were even more accurate . It was like she possessed eyes at the back of her head . Without even turning her head, she was able to avoid the claw strikes that came from behind her .

On another side, the Flame Witch, Zhao Yueru, was like an artillery cannon . A single Frostflame Blast from her had taken away a third of the Grassland Lion Cub's HP . Just when the Grassland Lion Cub switched Hatred and was about to rush at Zhao Yueru, the woman, herself, revealed a smile of disdain . As her mouth chanted the final verse of an incantation, her lily-white hands finished writing the incantation . Following which, a flame dragon appeared . The dragon spewed scorching hot flames, immediately decimating the Grassland Lion Cub rushing towards Zhao Yueru . Zhao Yueru's control over magic was extremely subtle, reaching its pinnacle .  Her chanting and tracing were even more extraordinary . Normally, players would need 3 seconds to complete both actions, but Zhao Yueru only spent 1 . 6 seconds . Her Completion Rate was even at 86%, increasing the damage of Fire Dragon's Roar by 120% . This single move instantly took away two-thirds of the Grassland Lion Cub's HP .

A few moments later, more than ten Grassland Lion Cubs lay dead on the ground .

"Rest for a while and prepare to lure those two Elite Grassland Lions over . Shield Warrior, you'll tank one, while I handle the other," after tidying up the loot, Gentle Snow commanded as she looked towards the two patrolling Elite Grassland Lions in the distance .

Just as everyone was resting, Gentle Snow received a single message signed with the name of 'Black Flame . '

Looking at this signature, Gentle Snow's brows slightly wrinkled . Previously, she put out word that she wished to discuss matters of cooperation with the Black Flame Forger . It did not take long before she received a reply . Originally, she had felt rather joyous at the fact . However, a few moments later, she received another pile of similar messages . All of them claiming themselves to be the Black Flame Forger . However, after undergoing a simple questioning and identification, she discovered that all of these players were fakes . Every one of them wanted to swindle some money from her .

"Snow, is it another harassing message? Why not you just set it so you can only receive messages from your friends . That way, these messages won't bother you anymore . " Zhao Yueru suggested after noticing Gentle Snow's unnatural behavior .

Gentle Snow shook her head, saying in a serious tone, "I'm not acquainted with the Black Flame Forger . If the real Black Flame Forger were to contact us, and we weren't able to receive his message, wouldn't we have posted that thread for nothing? I'll still take a look at it . In any case, it is very easy to determine the authenticity of the Black Flame Forger . "However, Gentle Snow suddenly froze when she read the message .

That was because this message had very clearly proven the authenticity of this Black Flame . He wanted her to go to the Virtual Trade Center, and using the password he had given, enter a designated Trade Room to trade for the Glimmer Chestplate Forging Design .

"It seems that I finally have some gains after waiting for so long . " Gentle Snow revealed a faint smile . From the contents of the message, she could clearly feel that this Black Flame was the real deal . Otherwise, he would not suggest trading the Forging Design at the Virtual Trade Center . After all, Black Flame impostors would not have a Forging Design .

"What is it? Did the real Black Flame contact you?" Looking at Gentle Snow nodding to her question, Zhao Yueru became immediately excited . Wishing to meet this mysterious Forger, she asked, "When do we meet him?"

Currently, the Black Flame Forger was known by everybody . He was even in possession of a Forging Design that could increase a Guild's influence . After carrying out one questionable action after another, only now did they find out his true motive .  Zhao Yueru couldn't help but admit the brilliance of the Black Flame Forger's methods .

He paid such a huge price all to control the initiative in the game played by the various Guilds . Now, every Guild within the area of White River City could not help but get caught up in this spiral; otherwise, they would be eliminated by the other Guilds . His unpredictable actions even caused her to feel admiration .

He was unlike a certain someone who was clearly just a lucky bastard, yet, still pretended to be an expert . Just thinking about that person made Zhao Yueru's blood boil in anger . Compared to the Black Flame Forger, the difference between them was thousands of miles apart .

"I just contacted him . However, he does not want to add us as friends . He only said he wants to meet at the Level 8 map, Physis Canyon, in four hours . Physis Canyon isn't that far away from our current location . I'll buy the Forging Design first; then we'll quickly clear up these Elite Grassland Lions . If we hurry over, we should be able to make it . " Even Gentle Snow was clearly excited right now . There were so many first-rate Guilds in Star-Moon Kingdom, yet, she didn't imagine that the Black Flame Forger would actually be willing to cooperate with them . She couldn't help but admit that they were extremely lucky or maybe that Black Flame had some other plans . In any case, she wouldn't be able to see through the thoughts of this Black Flame . "Great! Then let's hurry! If we make him wait too long, it would be terrible if he didn't want to meet us anymore," Zhao Yueru abruptly stood up, excitedly saying so . "Look at you in such a hurry… We still have time . " Gentle Snow rolled her eyes at Zhao Yueru . She did not imagine that Zhao Yueru would be so interested in Black Flame . Normally, she would not be as enthusiastic towards other people she met .

Meanwhile, Shi Feng, the target of Gentle Snow and Zhao Yueru's conversation, had already departed from Red Leaf Town .  He was running towards the White Sand Ruins .

The White Sand Ruins was a Level 10 monster area . It was also one of the must-come leveling areas for players of Red Leaf Town and several other nearby Towns . That was because the Quests available here were very numerous . Amongst them, there was no lack of Guild Quests and Reputation Quests . There were even two Unique Quests here . The rewards for these two Unique Quests were extremely bountiful, and they would bring plenty of benefits to Shi Feng when he officially entered White River City in the future . Hence why Shi Feng was running to the White Sand Ruins .

Just as Shi Feng arrived at a sea of white sand, a message from Gentle Snow arrived . The message stated that they had to delay the meeting time by an hour suddenly, and as a compensation, aside from buying the Forging Design at price of 24,000 Credits, they would give him an additional 20,000 Credits . Their wealth was practically overbearing .

Shi Feng did not really mind the delay in time . In any case, he also needed quite some time to complete the Quests here .

Meanwhile, 20,000 Credits was two month's worth of salary of a gold collar worker[1] . Gentle Snow used it as compensation for being late……Moreover, this was only the start of the business between them; yet, he had already earned more than 40,000 Credits . He could not help but admit that there were many benefits for working with a person like Gentle Snow, especially when the person herself was not lacking money .  Even the rich from other virtual reality games could not compete with her . Following which, based on his memories, Shi Feng searched for a secret path in the White Sand Ruins . After walking this path for nearly half an hour, he caught sight of a bunker buried in the white sand . Two Level 10 Elite Blacksteel Dwarves guarded the bunker's entrance . One of the two Unique Quests, "Steel Fortress Barrutia," could be found inside this bunker .
