Chapter 162: Monster Uproar in Snow Domain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Judging by Qin Ruo current party structure, their speed of leveling up near the regular farming spot in this Snow Domain was very much predictable. Although it was partly due to the longer experience bar after Tier 4, an increment of only 4% on the experience bar after five to six hours of farming made Qin Ruo feel restless, especially when he was already used to the farming speed at Aricus Ruins.

Fortunately, Qin Ruo did not plan to hasten his leveling at the moment. All of his Tier 4 skills were still at Novice level, which only made him slightly more powerful than when he was at Tier 3. Even if he managed to reach Level 45 or 46 quickly, he was still considered a rookie as compared to the real elites. So, why not boost himself first so that he had enough tricks in up his sleeves to protect himself? After all, the number of players he had offended was definitely more than the count of five fingers.

Shadow Clan’s Cayman, Netherspirit Claw’s Crackpot, Eight Gods Troop’s Godslayer, as well as the couple, Ron and Ron’s Mistress, who had recently helped him to enter a brand new era.

‘After all, I have Ron’s Mistress to thank. If she did not set me up in the end, it would have been impossible for me to gain two expensive pieces of highest-tier equipment from the two of them. This not only allows for Xin Yu’s surgery fees to be taken care of,* it also gained me a hundred thousand gold and a piece of Dark Gold equipment that are both now stored in my backpack.’*

Let’s just say if Qin Ruo was considered a poor man who lived frugally, now he was an owner of a gold mountain with too much to spare even after clearing all his debts.

As he trained alone peacefully, Qin Ruo roughly drafted the idea of putting his wealth to good use when he recovered his MP.

Suddenly…

A sound of hurried and flustered footsteps echoed in the distance. Periodically, it was also mixed with an unidentified chitter and monsters’ roar.

After Qin Ruo did a quick scan, he jumped up from the ground and exclaimed, “Damn! What the hell!”

More than a hundred of Ice Pythons and Yetis were, without any explainable reasons, lured out from their nests. The monsters, scattered into two groups, were seen chasing a few players. Snowballs of one-meter diameter and Raging Frost Roar were continuously thrown at the group of fleeing players, which occasionally knocked a couple of players into the Resurrection Gallery.

Judging by the circumstance, even Qin Ruo had lost his desire to live—who had nothing better to do and went to poke at a beehive, a few of them at that?

“Evade quickly!”

Qin Ruo shouted urgently and pointed toward the sparse snowy forest a few hundred meters away toward the left flank, “Retreat to that direction!”

Escaping from the Ice Pythons’ vision? Qin Ruo had never thought of that. The Ice Pythons possessed incredible speed, which was undefeatable even by the full agility of a Bowmaster. It could only be outrun for a short while using the Movement Speed Potion.

When the three people retreated from the spawn point which was then a warzone, Grandiose Dragon was still reluctant to give up and decided to attack a Winter Wendigo that had lost a lot of HP with full force. Seeing this, Qin Ruo frowned.

Bam!

A Frostrampart abruptly ascended from the ground and separated Grandiose Dragon from the Winter Wendigo.

“Move!”

Qin Ruo yelled.

Only then did Grandiose Dragon feel the overwhelming momentum from the monster horde behind him and quickly ditched the Winter Wendigo. After retreating from the fight, he charged forward with an open arm to clear the path in front of the party.

“Who lured these monsters out? So careless!” Violetmoon Devilite complained, while nervously glancing at the fast approaching monsters as well as the players who were fleeing from the scene.

Blue Princess with greater speed did not slow down and responded without turning her head, “Who else?” In her perspective, who else if not those overconfident dumbasses?

Qin Ruo remained silent. He used his Elemental Perception to manuever the Frostramparts, which successfully blocked two trailing Winter Wendigos and slowed down their movements.

Violetmoon Devilite quickly discovered Qin Ruo’s secret skill. Her eyes flashed with excitement and she was amazed. If it was not due to such critical condition where it was inappropriate for her to disturb Qin Ruo, she would have bombarded Qin Ruo with questions on how he was able to manipulate the Frostrampart with such precision without even looking.

The Winter Wendigos, which were affected by the Frostramparts, finally smashed the Frostramparts in anger. However, the shattered Frostramparts were quickly replaced with new ones and once again they were left far behind. The large group of players who caught up to the Winter Wendigos then shredded them. Few people from the group pointed at Qin Ruo’s party direction, “We can’t outrun them! Everyone gather at the snow forest and set up a defense line! Quick!”

“Ladies in front, please assist us in attack and defense!”

Few warriors running in front of the group were trying just anything by instructing the rest of the party to rush toward Qin Ruo while sending out SOS signal at the same time.

The remaining players were mostly Berserkers, Swordmasters, and Bowmasters, with a couple of Bandits in the mix—all the slow-paced Elementalists had been completely annihilated. Deafening sounds of explosions were continuously heard from the rear. These were, of course, the Yeti’s ultimate skill, “Snowball Blast”, which would result in a land full of ice shards that could decrease the player’s speed of movement.

Through the blast, another few unfortunate players were slammed to the ground. They only managed to utter the final “chant” and were quickly overran by the Raging Frost Roar. Following that, Ice Pythons swarmed over their corpses, as the Yeti did with its giant foot.

Qin Ruo and Violetmoon Devilites’ movements were slow. On top of that, the Winter Wendigo jumped onto them from time to time. This trapped them on the spot and made them unable to divert their attention from the ongoing battle. As the players were about to catch up with them soon, it had reached a point where they could no longer refuse the opponent’s request. Once they overtook them, the trailing Ice Pythons would completely shred the four of them into pieces.

“Damn!”

“Devil, buff the Bleastblood Berserker!”

Qin Ruo suddenly instructed Violetmoon Devilite after about thirty meters into the snow forest, before rapidly turning around. Qin Ruo then maximized his manipulation speed.

One by one, the Frostamparts began to ascend between the two huge trees, covered in snow, at the entrance of the snow forest. Frankly speaking, he did not think that one Elementalist and one Radiant Priest could defeat more than a hundred Ice Pythons and Yetis even if they collaborated with more than twenty Warriors and Bowmasters. However, the turn of events did not allow him to consider any further. If he did not stop to help for the first to be torn apart would be him and Violetmoon Devilite (the Movement Speed of Elementalists and Radiant Priests are low).

With Qin Ruo’s rapid control, four Frostramparts were quickly lifted side by side to shrink the large entrance until only two to three Ice Pythons were able to pass through at a go.

As long as it did not completely block the monsters’ vision, the Frostramparts would not be targeted.

At the same time, Violetmoon Devilite also quickly buffed the two who reached the Beastblood Berserker in defensive mode first. These two Warriors sprinted in Berserk state all the way. After receiving Violetmoon Devilite’s buff, they immediately gulped down a HP Potion (L) as well as a bottle of MP potion.

“Great job!”

Nobody was trying to figure out whether their praises referred to Qin Ruo’s Frostrampart manipulation technique or the on-time buff by Violetmoon Devilite. As the two Bleastblood Berserker howled, the twenty over Warriors and Bowmasters stepped into the snow forest quickly hid behind the Frostramparts and activated various Combat Aura, Berserk State attacking skills.

“If you all have the guts then stay back and fight together with us! Those who had lost it better get lost now!” on both the Bleastblood Berserker chests, family badges were pinned. Qin Ruo had never seen that before. After they were done talking, they directly blocked the entrance made by Qin Ruo with their shields to resist the Ice Pythons that intended to come through.

“F*ck them!”

“F*ck! They have killed a few of my comrades! Stay back if you are a man! I don’t believe that we can’t defeat a few pythons!”

The Warriors yelled angrily and joined the battle. They must all held grudges against the pythons long ago, since they were chased down by them before. When they saw that there was a readily-made formation, they immediately turned back and spammed every skill that they have. Two Ice Pythons that jumped in first were quickly surrounded.

“Beware of the two sides!”

“Aquamancer! Give us a few more Frostramparts at both flanks!”

Now, the large group of Ice Pythons had caught up to them and began to appear out from both sides of the flanks. The Bowmasters was shocked and kept on reminding the only Elementalist on the battlefield.

Qin Ruo’s Elemental Perception range was at fifty meters, thus he was well aware of the Ice Pythons movements. Before the Bowmaster was done giving the warning, a second Frostrampart was pulled out from the ground. The two Frostramparts created an opening that was pointed in the direction of the twenty plus Warriors. As soon as the Ice Pythons climbed over the wall, they will immediately meet the Warriors instead of the Elementalist and Bowmaster at the rear.

The situations were the same on both sides!

Qin Ruo quietly diverted all the Ice Pythons’ attention toward the Warriors.

Luckily the opening was not very large and only allowed six to seven Ice Pythons to enter at a go. Thus the pressure placed onto each Warriors was still acceptable. With six warriors on each side, plus the support provided by the Bowmaster’s long-ranged attack, they were able to hold off the Ice Pythons’ powerful assault for the time being.

Though most of the players rejoiced that the tide had turned, Qin Ruo was still unable to relax—the consumption of MP to support eight Frostramparts simultaneously until the end of the battle was rather significant.

But now, Qin Ruo was more curious about why these people lured so many Ice Pythons and Yetis out of their nests. What happened over there?
