Chapter 119: Master chef boss
On the way, the beauties of Xue Yue attracted attention. Many yers couldn''t help following us and only when we entered the area around Dead Wood Coast did they gradually scatter. The monsters near Dead Wood Coast were around level 50, so it wasn''t something that normal yers could deal with. Although these beauties were enticing, their lives mattered more.
Ling Xue walked alongside me, us two warriors were standing at the front of the party.
"Yi? Look over there, there''s a sea turtle~" Ling Xue looked into the distance with an excited look.
I looked over, "That is a turtle shell."
Ling Xue didn''t believe and turned the turtle shell over with her sword. She looked all over, but she didn''t find any turtle flesh at all.
Summer came forward to say, "Look, this is where the turtle''s feet would be, this is the turtle''s tail, this in front is the turtle''s...Eh, why is it all red?"
Ling Yue and Bing Cha walked past, looking at us, "You guys really are bored.."
Everyone felt embarrassed and quickly caught up to the team.
In the afternoon, we continued killing the Scarlet Eyed Sand Alligators. These level 60 Elite Monsters had very good experience, so we were very vigorous as we killed them.
Two hours quickly passed and my experience reached level 43 90%, I would reach level 44 soon. At this time, Ling Xue suddenly called out from in front, "Little fool, quicklye and take a look! There''s a NPC here, but I don''t know what it''s for!"
When everyone heard this, we all went over.
Following Ling Xue''s gaze, there was a small camp built in a small forest by the coast. The giant leaves were ced on the branches and became a ceiling for the camp, blocking out the wind and rain. There was a simple campfire with an iron pot on it underneath and there were two human soldiers sitting there, tending the fire.
Not far away, there were another two soldiers using a dagger to cut turtle flesh. It seemed like this was the turtle that we saw earlier, so it was these people who took care of them.
At the furthest part of the camp, there was a leader covered in silver armour with a sword at his waist who kept giving sighs.
I turned and said, "This might be a quest. Everyonee along, we''ll try to get everyone to ept this quest!"
The girls were very happy and immediately followed me.
I went forward and talked to the NPCs. The soldier adding firewood into the mes said, "This damn weather, we can''t find any dry wood at all. Damn, this will affect the cooking of the turtle meat"
He didn''t say anything other than this, it seemed like he didn''t have a quest.
I went to the soldier cutting up the turtle meat and this soldier said, "It''s been several days since we''ve had a grain of rice. We caught this turtle this time, we can finally fill our stomachs after several days!"
There was still no result, so I could only go to the leader NPC. When I talked to him, the NPC looked at us with a surprised gaze and said, "Young warriors, you actually came to such a dangerous ce, it really is shocking!"
I revealed a smile and he immediately introduced himself, "We are the scouting team of Sunset City''s third regiment. We came here for a mission, but we never thought that this Dead Wood Coast would have these terrifying Scarlet Eyed Sand Alligators. These things attack humans, so we can''t return to Sunset City and our target has already been invaded by the dark energy. Young man, are you willing to help me with a favour?"
"Ding~!"
System notification: Will you ept the quest [Kill Captain Hawk]?
...
At the same time, the other girls in my party revealed surprised looks, which meant they clearly received the quest prompt. So I said with a nod, "ept!"
When I clicked the ept button, there was a notification that sounded in my ear.
"Ding~!"
System notification: Your party has epted [Kill Captain Hawk]! (Current quest difficulty: 575)
Quest details: Help the Sunset City find a boat on an ind not far west off the coast. The humans on that boat have already been corrupted by dark energy, so please kill these dark beings. Moreover, please go to the third floor to find Captain Hawk and kill him. Bring the head of Captain Hawk back to the scout team leader.
...
Ling Xue said with a smile, "It''s our first party quest!"
I revealed a smile, "It''s the same! Come, let''s go to the west coast!"
"Un."
So I led the way with the Bloodthirsty Spear. We didn''t go far before I felt a paine over my body. When I looked up, I saw that there was a red monster by the water that had thrown a harpoon at me!
[Fishman Hunter] (Normal monster)
Level: 55
Attack: 380-450
Defense: 120
HP: 7500
Attack method: Throw, damage against heavy armour is reduced by 25%.
...
I revealed a faint smile. I went forward to send out abination of Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers and the Ice Wind Thorn, cutting this level 55 mob''s HP in half. Ling Xue also came forward and swept her Light Flow Sword out a few times, releasing a Water Moon sh. The Fishman Hunter let out a grunt before falling dead, dropping several silver coins.
When I picked up the silver coins, Ling Yue looked around and said, "Look, there really is an ind in front! ording to the quest details, the boat we''re looking for is on the ind!"
Ling Xue nodded before saying in a difficult voice, "But how will we get over there? There isn''t even a small boat here or a bridge. It would be good if we had a motorboat"
Ling Yue said in a speechless voice, "What do we do then?"
I dug the silver coins out of the sand before saying while letting out a sigh, "It''s very simple, we swim over!"
Summer was shocked, "But, I don''t know how to swim!"
I looked at her and said, "Will you drown to death? It''s a game, your body won''t sink and you can freely control your movement. Let''s go, there''s no other choice."
Ling Yue said with a smile, "Alright, let''s go!"
I went first. I went into the water and the water gradually reached my waist before I started floating. You really could freely float in the water.
Taking a few steps forward, I entered the depths and my feet kept moving without sinking. Turning around, I saw Ling Yue and Bing Cha with the water at their shoulders. Purple Rhyme hesitated a bit before following. Summer, Zi Yue, and Rain Fall all curled their lips beforeing into the water. Summer asked, "Do we need to take off our clothes to swim?"
I said, "If you want to, no one will stop you."
Summerughed, "Forget it, it''s too cheap for you if I take it off now."
I couldn''t help being speechless. I turned around again, but I couldn''t find Ling Xue. I couldn''t help being a bit worried, so I said in a loud voice, "Ling Xue? Ling Xue, where are you?"
"Putong!"
The water exploded in front of me and I saw Ling Xue''s face appear in the water. She revealed a faint smile, "Fool, why are you so slow?"
I gave augh and immediately followed. Ling Xue had the Lunar Shadow Cloak which increased her move speed by 10%, so I couldn''t catch up no matter what. I could only look at this mermaid like girl while my saliva flowed.
When we reached the ind, we found that there was a giant ship in front of us. It seemed like a carrier ship, but the deck waspletely made of wood.
Ten secondster, Ling Xue and I arrived first. After going around the ship, we found a smalldder hanging off the side and climbed up.
"Bada!"
When my wet boots fell onto the deck, I immediately created a puddle. Ling Xue came up after me and when I turned around, I was stunned.
Ling Xue waspletely soaked and with water drops all over her, she really looked tempting.
Ling Xue saw my burning gaze and immediately said in an angry voice, "You''re still looking!"
I turned around, I won''t look then.
But when I turned around, I immediately regretted it since the next person toe up was Ling Yue!
Ling Yue''s mage robe was soaked by the water and it was tightly wrapped around her, making her twin peaks more prominent. When she saw me looking, her face turned red and she said in a low voice, "Not allowed to look!"
I felt very awkward as the girls came onto the ship, especially Ling Yue and Purple Rhyme in mage robes. Those two girls really had good figures, it really was mesmerizing to look at.
I forced myself to turn around and looking around the deck, I found several human mobs with green bandanas walking around. They had dagger in their hands and a strange red glow in their eyes, clearly showing that they weren''t normal humans.
[Evil Assassins] (Enhanced Monsters)
Level: 60
Attack: 440-550
Defense: 180
HP: 15000
Additional information: Assassins used to working in the dark, have really strong attacks.
...
I immediately shared the stats of the mobs in the team chat. Ling Yue thought for a bit before saying, "Should we start?"
I changed to the Star Chasing Bow and sent out an ice arrow. The assassin was covered in ayer of frost and slowly came over. Ling Yue also began attacking, sending powerful fireballs one after the other. Purple Rhyme also wielded the Great Earth Staff to attack, dealing 400 damage with just a single Punishment skill!
Ling Xue and Bing Cha waited for an opportunity to attack, attacking midway. This level 60 Enhanced Monster could only reach halfway before it lost its HP, falling down and dropping two gold coins.
Our team was just too strong, easily dealing with a level 60 monster. We took care of all the assassins on deck in just ten minutes. I went forward and found a cabin that had a foul smell which was very familiar. It was the smell of a chicken coop!
Ling Xue immediately covered her nose and asked, "What is this smell? It really smells bad.."
I cut down the door in front and saw several hens flying out at us!
Ling Yue was happy seeing this from behind, "Did we enter a chicken coop? Bookworm, go check it out!"
I went forward and felt a pain from my chest as I was sent flying from a strong force!
"Putong!"
I fell to the ground. When I looked at my HP, I found I lost a third of it. In front of me, there was a fatty in a white apron who was a boss covered in killing intent with a red face. He had adle in his left hand and a pot in his left. It was actually a chef!
[Dark Cook] (Silver Grade Boss)
Level: 60
Attack: 550-750
Defense: 400
HP: 200000
Attack Type: Strong hits, there''s a chance of stunning the enemy.
...
Seeing this boss covered in killing intent, Ling Yue and Ling Xue looked at each other with a smile, "This..This is a chef from a five star restaurant!"
I couldn''t smile at all since I almost lost my life to this fellow''s pot!
"Shua!"
Purple Rhyme filled my HP with a heal while she said with a smile, "Work hard, Bookworm!"
I charged forward with the Bloodthirsty Spear, releasing a Sweeping Away Thousand Soldiers. I only dealt "543" and "621" damage to him, this defense wasn''t low!
Ling Xue also came forward and the Light Flow Sword attacked while covered in blue light, with the Water Moon sh dealing over a thousand points of damage. Quiet Rain Fall and Ling Yue attacked from afar while Purple Rhyme ced a curse on the boss, reducing its defense greatly, causing its HP to keep falling!
No matter what, this was only a Silver Grade Boss. We now had Purple Rhyme with her abnormal healing and her revive spell, so there was no need to worry at all. In less than ten minutes, the powerful chef gave a pitiful cry before it turned into a pile of gold coins, two pieces of equipment, and experience.
Ling Xue went forward to take the spoils of war, quickly sending out the two pieces of equipment.
[Phosphorescent Mage Robe] (Bronze Equipment - Cloth Armour]
Defense: 45
Intelligence: +10
Vitality: +5
Required level: 45
[Phosphorescent Wristbands] (Bronze Equipment - Cloth Armour)
Defense: 38
Intelligence: +9
Vitality: +5
Required level: 45
...
Ling Yue and Purple Rhyme clearly weren''t interested in these trash items, so Ling Xue generously gave them both to Summer who was filled with joy.
Next we went to check the second floor of this ship!
"Pa!"
Kicking the wooden door open, I found arge hall in front of me. I never thought that the ship would actually be this big!
"Xiu!"
There was a cold glow that hit the shoulder of Ling Xue behind me. She was stunned as she looked at me, "Don''t just stand there in a daze, go and take care of the monster!"
I went forward and found that the one that attacked Ling Xue was a human monster with leather armour. He had a throwing spear in his hand and his blood red eyes were filled with hatred as he looked around.
[Dark Thrower] (Elite Monster)
Level: 61
Attack: 450-600
Defense: 200
HP: 40000
Attack method: Throw, damage against heavy armour is reduced by 25%.
...
I couldn''t helpughing. This was good, I didn''t need to fear this throwing attack with my heavy armour. In front of us, there were a bunch of Elite Monsters who were all gathered together!
