Chapter 71 - The Prince of Dark Dwarves
Three golden hexagons appeared on my Jade City Sword, allowing to confirm that the combo this ti would consist of three attacks - the number of hexagonal stars appearing indicated the number of attacks the combo would do, a rule which I had understood with practice.
“Hua!”
“311!”
“327!”
“334!”
……
The damage efficiency was still not too bad; with just a combo, I had already removed almost a thousand of his health points. The level 40 Dark Dwarf, originally possessing over 2000 health points plumted after getting violently stung by Baby Bobo who was dancing at his sides. Then, with a direct stab from my sword, the job was done!
Hmm, the effectiveness of a surprise attack was quite good, the level 40 Dark Dwarf didn’t even get a chance to retaliate and was wiped out in just a few seconds.
By ending the battle fast, my health potion and mana potion consumption was reduced. Bringing Baby Bobo along, I rushed towards the Dark Dwarf that was sharpening the edges of the war axe. Unfortunately, at the mont when I closed the distance between him and , the other two Dark Dwarves imdiately got aggro-ed by my actions. 1V3, I guess I would have to go all out, otherwise I didn’t a chance completing this quest!
“Shua!”
As usual, the [Combo] had a short cooldown ti of 6 seconds. I sent a second [Combo] attack towards the second dwarf as soon as the cooldown ca off. At the sa mont, I lowered my body and my iron fist crashed into the ground. Pah, 【Binding Chains】 was imdiately evoked and rose from the ground, chaining the feet of the third dwarf. At the sa ti, Baby Bobo went on the offense. I tried to finish him off but I was slightly late, the Dark Dwarf had already begun his attack. His battle axe floated with crimson red flas, its the level 40 close-range skill - 【Fla Blade】
“Boom!”
“397!”
There was a loud ringing sound on the Dawn Breastplate and I felt a surge of pain. The offensive capability of 【Fla Blade】 was definitely not just for show. Now I understood why this quest was ranked A.
Imdiately retreating back a step, I sent Baby Bobo up to attack, dealing the coup de grace on the second Dark Dwarf. The next mont, weng weng, it flew towards the the third Dark Dwarf to intercept it but got attacked by 【Fla Blade】. Ka cha, the war axe imdiately tried to decapitate the head of the Overlord Bee, displaying a damage amount of 474.
Controlling both my pet and myself, while Baby Bobo retreated, I imdiately rushed forward to take his place and positioning my sword, I lowered my body position and in an instant, a flash of white light surged from my feet, activating my chain combo attack, 【Strength of a Thousand n】!
A flurry of furious attacks landed on the body of the fourth Dark Dwarf, bringing out a whole string of damage numbers-
“231!”
“244!”
“217!”
“274!”
“809!”
……
As expected, the Dark Dwarves were overwhelmingly powerful in their offensive power. However, their defense was extrely weak. With a 5 hit combo, I was able to remove a big chunk of his health. With another attack from and Baby Bobo, done! However, at that point, the third Dark Dwarf managed to free himself of my 【Binding Chains】 and charged towards with yet another 【Fla Blade】.
“778!”
It was a critical hit!
I was stunned for an instant, I had 1 point of Hp left! I had 1176 Hp, how could this be!?
I imdiately set my hands moving, 【Heal】!
“ 600!”
That was alarmingly dangerous. I definitely should not underestimate the monsters here, the attack power of 【Fla Blade】 was pretty powerful and not sothing most players could endure. Next ti, I must make sure to block it or dodge it. If I were to keep taking these attacks, I could be KO-ed within two hits.
While still in a panic, I coordinated with Baby Bobo to get rid of the last Dark Dwarf. Only when all of the dwarves were lying on the floor did I realize that my heart was thumping out of my chest. However, my experience bar brought so comfort. After killing 4 of these Dark Dwarves, my experience points imdiately increased by 1%. By my calculations, killing 400 of them would allow to level up once. Looks like if I were to complete the quest by today, getting to level 38 wouldn’t be impossible!
……
Picking up the silver coins from the floor, I noted that level 40 human-like monsters were actually quite rich. On average, each of these Dark Dwarves dropped 3 silver coins each. After killing 2000 dwarves, I would have 60 gold coins. To be honest, even if I were here only to farm for money, it would be quite profitable!
While killing these Dark Dwarves, I browsed through the forums and found many guilds or studios, whether big or small, recruiting new mbers —
【Recruiting（Posted by:Mischievious Rock）】:Mischievious Rock Studio is currently recruiting new personnel, only limited to mages, swordsn and players with strong solo-ing abilities. We provide lodging and food and only request for players to farm at least 5 gold coins each day. Wages are up for discussion!
【Recruiting（Posted by:Black Fla）】:In Ba Huang City, the Black Fla Guild is currently recruiting expert players that are above level 32. We will be organizing a hundred-man party to hunt down a level 50 gold-rank boss seven days later to obtain a gold-tier equipnt as well as our guild’s Guild Creation Card!
【Recruiting（Posted by:Wandering Wolf Spirit）】:The Victorious Studio is currently recruiting new players. We require a high level healer possessing at least 30 heal boosts. The job of the healer would be for treating the wounded and preparing the als. The wage every month would be at least 5000RMB. We would prefer a female healer and if she has good looks, we can add in bonuses.
……
I frowned, I could tell that this wasn’t a poster to recruit new players, it was a poster to recruit a girlfriend. Quite creative…
“Pa ta!”
While deep in thoughts, suddenly, as a Dark Dwarf was killed, a round tal helt dropped. Picking it up from the grass, it was a green-rank equipnt and had decent defense stats. It increased the equipper’s strength by 14, but it didn’t have any additional effects. It could be considered as a middle-tier equip. In the 3 main cities in the China server, everyone seed to be more concerned with leveling speed and the top players in each of the main cities were going mad from training. When everyone was of high level, there would naturally be more good equipnt. Currently, just counting Ba Huang city, there were already at least 20 gold-rank equipnt, 500 silver-rank equipnt and needless to say, the green-tier equipnt would be countless. Especially more so, these equipnt were not actual end-ga equipnt, smart gars would know not to spend too much capital on these equipnt. Of course, this was excluding people who were remarkably rich like Tyrant of Western Chu who would guard my corpse for an entire night for a Black Iron equipnt; that wasn’t what most people were able to do.
After killing for a while, I looked at my current quest progress, it was already at 87/2000. In general, the Dark Dwarves gathered in fours, thus the killing speed was actually quite fast, though it could prove to be quite dangerous as well. Fortunately, I possessed a LV-4【Heal】, which was equivalent to having a high level healer by my side. Also, the damage output from Baby Bobo was also quite high, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to complete this quest.
Ti passed quickly and soon, it was already 4 PM. My quest progress was at 741/2000 and I had already reached level 36 with 74% experience. My leveling pace was quite rapid, far beyond my calculations. I estimated that by the end of today, I could probably reach level 38 or perhaps, if Dalin was generous and gave good rewards, I could reach level 39!
In my bag, there were 10 Black Iron equipnt, seven to eight Green-tier equipnt and five Bronze equipnt. My 29 charm provided with rather abundant loots and this mission on the front lines would definitely reward with even more charm. I could already imagine, after completing this mission, my strength would rise rapidly! But of course, what I still valued most now was still reaching level 40. The two new skills 【Ice Blade】 and 【Swordsmanship Specialization】 were simply too powerful!
……
Accompanying the two beauties for dinner, I didn’t even bother to chat with them. I rushed through my al and went back online!
All the way until 10 PM at night, I kept hamring away at my quest and finally I reached my target of 2000/2000. My level was at 38 with 52% experience, it was still a long way from reaching level 39 but, what was most exciting was that for the first ti, in a very rare case, I was in the top 10 players list in Ba Huang City!

2、Jian Feng Han Level 39 Job:Swordsman
3、General Li Mu Level 39 Job:Swordsman

……
On the top players ranking board in Ba Huang City, the most magnificent person had finally appeared. Although he was currently lagging behind in the tenth place, at least he was now on the board and on top of that, my popularity in Ba Huang City was not too bad. In any case, I was the man that beca famous a few days ago after being hunted down by the [Wrath of the Heroes] and yet still ca out alive. A person who was able to achieve that must be exceptional!
Tightly clinging onto my Jade City Sword, I looked towards the front, the Dark Dwarves’ camp that had been largely cleared by . Moving forward anymore would bring to a blood-red colored tent on top of a large rock. By the side of the tent, there were two dwarves who are holding tal swords. There was no doubt that the person in the tent must be one of the leaders behind the Dark Dwarves!
Yup, the quest required to kill him!
Bringing Baby Bobo along, I stepped on the green rock with my Silver Locked Battle Boots and rushed forward. After getting my health back to full, Baby Bobo lured the two guards towards . Both of them were level 42 guards, but currently, I had already reached level 38, the difference in our levels was a re 4, thus I didn’t feel much pressure facing them both. Furthermore, Baby Bobo was also level 38, and his stings were sharper than ever!
In a dizzying confusion, the two guards fell to the ground dead and looking at the faint light in the tent, I grabbed my long sword tightly. Hehe, it was ti for a one-on-one!
……
“Shua!”
My blade fiercely cut through the cloth of the tent. In the night, the interiors of the tent felt warm but the scene that appeared before left shocked —
On the bed, there were two females, both in their twenties, being bound there with their arms tied behind their backs. Their arms were filled with blood red wounds. Both of them were wearing blouses and by their side, there were two magic staffs, indicating that they were probably either mages or healers. Their mouths were stuffed with cotton and upon seeing , they began to shout agitatedly.
……
My heart sunk for a mont, I was completely speechless. Why were there human won in this tent, were they be captured?
Moving forward, I stretched my hand and removed the cotton from the two female NPC’s mouth, and surprisingly, they kept their cool. Looking at the signet on my arm, one of them said, “I really didn’t expect it, to think that there would actually be brave souls coming from Ba Huang City to save us!”
I asked, “Who are you?”
The other lady replied, “We are rangers from Ba Huang City and we were under orders to impart magical skills and healing techniques to the children from the surrounding villages. However, we didn’t expect that we would get lost and end up getting captured by this bunch of despicable Dark Dwarves in the Fire Stone Canyon.”
“Hurry…” The woman on the left perked her ears and said with an anxious tone, “That demon is coming back. You… you better leave quickly, otherwise he will slaughter you!”
“What demon?”
I held my sword in front my chest and while looking outside, laughed, “Watch as I get rid of that demon…”
