Chapter 226 The Trodden Grand Underground Grave

Liu Qiangwei didn’t stay for long. Having finished her simple breakfast, she went back to her room, got dressed, and then came back to the Midsummer studio with her game helmet.

After all, she was titled as a president of the guild so she could not be lazy, though management had helped her attend to most of the work.

“Master…”

When Xiao Feng was about to go upstairs after breakfast, Ning Keke who buried herself in cleaning the table suddenly called in a low voice.

“What’s wrong, Keke? I didn’t mean it yesterday. Don’t get me wrong.” Xiao Feng asked weirdly, and at the same time, explained himself once more, or he might be taken as a voyeur or a pervert alike, which wouldn’t be good.

“No, no. Master… I am fine…” Ning Keke whispered like the buzzing of a mosquito, hardly inaudible. Her little head was hung low on her shoulders, with her pretty face buried in the light brown curly hair. However, through the ends of her hair, her red ears could be seen.

“Master, thank you…”

Xiao Feng involuntarily tried to improve his listening for he couldn’t hear what Ning Keke was saying. But before Xiao Feng asked her, she got up the courage and looked at him, and she began to speak with gratitude.

“So, master, you had known all of it… I visited my mother yesterday afternoon and knew that it was you who had helped us pay for the hospitalization. I truly…truly thank you! It is very kind of you!”

While Ning Keke was saying, she bowed to Xiao Feng. Her well-developed breasts were like two balloons filled with water.

“Never mind. Ling’s homework and housework will all count on you.” Xiao Feng just casually said. His helping Ning Keke with all those problems and troubles saved himself from trouble. Finishing his words, he walked upstairs. As for him, it was a piece of cake.

“Yes! I will work hard to repay you, Master!” Ning Keke raised her head, looking thoroughly at his slightly thin figure.

However, Xiao Feng’s help, which he deems as easy little things, made him a god sent from heaven to help her get through hard times.

He wore his game helmet and logged on. In his view, it was a dark, gloomy underground palace.

He logged off on a corner on the ground floor of the palace, which of course was the exact spot where he logged on. And there were no creeps refilled, which saved him a lot of trouble. But he could hear a sound of battle.

“Are you a pig whose breakfast took so long?”

Si Yejing complained indignantly when Xiao Feng logged on. She was wiping creeps not far away.

“Why are you still there?”

Xiao Feng asked in wonder because he was a little earlier than Si Yejing to log off and he had thought that she had gone back to city. But now she was wiping creeps in the underground palace.

“You said there were two more floors to wipe, but we hadn’t finished one yet.”

Si Yejing was quite natural, without the least consciousness of her being a sponger.

“Well.” Xiao Feng gave up and sent an application to form team with Si Yejing. Again, they began to gain experience.

“Your final examination is approaching, isn’t it? Why do you stay online day and night?”

When Si Yejing volunteered to take the initiative to pull creeps, Xiao Feng asked her curiously.

He heard about it from the Nicholas Brothers. They said that these days were the final exam time of each university. Several of their roommates logged off after taking apart in the Treasure Hunt in the server. And now they were not online.

Even Shangguan Aochen’s friend list turned black after the end of the Treasure Hunt in the server. Apparently they were preparing for the final exam.

But Si Yejing was still playing games. She was not affected by the exam at all.

“I am so talented that I can pass the exam so easily. Besides, I have already earned enough credits.” Si Yejing rolled her eyes and pulled all the creeps that she had left behind in every corner of the underground palace before she logged off. Then she drew them to the position of Xiao Feng.

Only a player as powerful as her could easily wipe creeps in the underground palace. The level of the creeps on the first floor of the underground palace was 20 to 30. The lowest type of them was elite creep, which also mixed a lot of rare and Boss level creeps.

It was difficult to attract the hatred of all the creeps at the same time, and it was also hard to attract all the missing creeps. The ordinary players who saw this scene might have been scared, let alone having a mood to chat.

Xiao Feng was disinclined to talk nonsense with her. He wiped the creeps as quickly as possible and then cleaned the battlefield. He was preparing to go to the second floor of the underground palace.

Xiao Feng’s experience bar had reached more than 30 percent of his total experience after it had reached Level 21. It was quite some amount. The creeps around the grand underground grave were so crowded and plus his level was high, so the experience points were considerably huge.

However, the reason why Xiao Feng upgraded so quickly was that there was no pet and mount to share XP with him. In the case that Si Yejing and Xiao Feng formed a team, Si Yejing didn’t upgrade as fast as Xiao Feng although their XP was equal. This was because Si Yejing also needed to share the XP with her pet.

Even so, Si Yejing, who was nearly Level 21 at this point, was still ranked second in the level list due to the sheer efficiency of Xiao Feng’s wiping creeps and gaining levels.

An assassin like her, whose skills were all single attack, could definitely not reach this leveling speed, and that’s why she stuck to Xiao Feng.

“Move to the second floor.”

The creeps on the first floor had all been cleared up. Despite extremely large amount of XP, they were rewarded in other ways too. Besides a dozen of golden coins, one golden equipment had been dropped from an unfortunate boss. Yet it was for 30-level players, which didn’t fit Xiao Feng at all. So he threw it casually in his bag.

“Come on, it’s the entrance! All be careful! And this is an advanced map where there are all elite creeps and bosses.

“Not bad! Lee, you had just found such a secluded entrance, and you must have gained a lot.”

“Not at all! I have said it was filled with bosses and though it’s a good map, I don’t have the capacity to go through it. Last time I went in, I had been killed even before I saw the property of any creeps.

“Sh*t, you just bring us to such a difficult map? Isn’t it courting death?”

“Don’t worry. Though it is difficult, I have just observed with corpse that there is a boss near the entrance and we can pull it to the entrance. And by then, we could dominate the entrance. With so many people, can’t we handle just a boss?

“What are you waiting for?! Hurry up!”

“Watch out, all of you. Don’t run around and attract other creeps’ hatred. Now I will pull the boss, and you just watch the entrance.”

However, just when Xiao Feng and Si Yejing were about to go down the second floor of the underground palace, there came a sound of footsteps and chat outside the first floor.

Since the grand underground grave was filled with Undead Soul Creeps’ scream and groans, one could not hear other people talking outside. But the first floor was all cleaned up and it became empty, so any sound indicating that some players was coming in would soon be heard.

“Wait, don’t go in.”

Xiao Feng frowned and stopped Si Yejing right away, who was about to go down the second floor of the underground palace.

The grand underground grave was not a common map where Dragon Suit, an artifact, could be unearthed. And it had already been pre-decided by Xiao Feng. Who would know that some players should find this map?

Judging from the footsteps outside, it was obvious that the players were aiming at the grand underground grave.

It’s definitely not a map that players could explore at this stage according to the difficulty of the grand underground grave. Xiao Feng generally wasn’t worried that any players would find it, because they couldn’t even get in.

But it was different this time. The first floor had been cleaned up by him just now, which made it possible for the players coming here to easily explore the map, even to get in the second floor of the underground palace.

It was no good news because Xiao Feng didn’t want any information about the grand underground grave and artifacts to be spread around. In that case, the grave would be a hot spot. No matter how difficult it was, they would still be helpless with so many players.

Moreover, the Huaxia District did not lack masters at all. If the guardian was killed by others, it would be too late for Xiao Feng to regret because a whole set of Dragon Suit could be dropped in the grand underground grave. And if one piece of the equipment was attained by someone, it would be fun, which would cause Xiao Feng to fail to collect the whole set and lose the set effect.

Now Xiao Feng was stuck by the guardian of assassin and couldn’t kill him. And he couldn’t guarantee whether other players could kill him.

“How about I drive them away?”

Si Yejing immediately understood what Xiao Feng was thinking. Although she didn’t know how important this map was to Xiao Feng, she knew that the map couldn’t be lost at this time, because she found that Xiao Feng often took her here. Then she proposed.

“No, our showing up could only attract more attention.” Xiao Feng hastened to stop her.

“What to do now?” Si Yejing asked.

“Let’s go back to city immediately.”

Xiao Feng thought about it and said, “Now, I just hope this group of players could shrink back from difficulties. In a word, with the combat effectiveness of this group of players at this stage, it was impossible for them to pass through the second floor of the underground palace. It’s fine as long as they couldn’t find the guardian of the underground palace. It was best if this group of players was gone when they came here next time.

So it was best to get out of here before they were discovered. After finishing his words, Xiao Feng had taken out the back to city scroll and began to rub. Seeing this, Si Yejing also took out the back to city scroll and left with Xiao Feng together.

With the change of vision, they had returned to the crowded and bustling Tianlong City Square.

“Where are we going now?”

Si Yejing asked toward Xiao Feng. Apparently she still planned to follow Xiao Feng.

“We are going to the Blackrock in the Orc Empire.”

Xiao Feng answered. He turned around and stepped on the Transmission Formation. He must keep thinking about his ring of immortal equipment. It was estimated that the ring should have been forged now.

“What shall we do in the Orc Empire? Why don’t we go to the Elven Empire and get the Glory Guild in trouble? We were bullied just now, and it is not likely for you to put up with this.”

Although Si Yejing was confused, she stepped into the Transmission Formation with Xiao Feng.

“You know they came here aboveboard. And it means nothing if I try to seek a fight. At least I should find a reason that is aboveboard too. But if you know where the Doomsday League is, we might seek some trouble just for fun.”
