Magical Weapon Descends

"Skeleton Little Brother, um... can we discuss something?"

After contacting every Qionglou member she could, with most believing she had been kidnapped and couldn't speak freely.

Huo Silou was about to burst from anger.

But there was nothing she could do. These members had all been carefully nurtured by her for years. She couldn't just abandon them.

So she could only turn to Jiang Cheng for help.

Huo Silou looked at Jiang Cheng pitifully, waiting for his response.

However, Jiang Cheng showed no interest whatsoever. "Do you have the outpost information?"

"Yes, yes, it's just... could you... maybe..."

Faced with Huo Silou's pitiful, helpless, and aggrieved gaze, Jiang Cheng shook his head. "People should know how to keep their word, especially for a businessperson like yourself."

Huo Silou had previously said that whenever he sought intelligence from her, she wouldn't charge a single coin. Now, from her appearance, she was about to set conditions again. Jiang Cheng would never entertain this.

"I know, I know, but... I just have one tiny, tiny request, just..."

Huo Silou pinched her thumb and index finger together, leaving just a tiny gap. "Just this little request, okay? Little Brother..."

"Hmph." Jiang Cheng gave a light chuckle but said nothing.

Huo Silou thought he was considering it, so she allowed Jiang Cheng to carry her forward.

But after three minutes, Jiang Cheng still hadn't spoken. Huo Silou realized this damned blue skeleton hadn't been listening to her at all!

"The closest outpost is at Qiuming Mountain."

Huo Silou sighed, and after saying this, her heart began to bleed.

She could fully imagine what would happen when Qionglou's 3,000+ members surrounded the blue skeleton.

But now, with heaven unresponsive and earth silent, she could only sigh in resignation.

"Qiuming Mountain?" Jiang Cheng's heart stirred, then he spread his wings and flew toward Qiuming Mountain at extremely high speed.

The journey from Changsheng Mountain to Qiuming Mountain would take several days, crossing the level 300 Wailing Gorge.

After level 150, monster attributes began to grow monstrously.

And for players killing monsters 100 levels above them, there was an 80% damage reduction.

Not to mention level 300 monsters, where damage reduction probably reached 99%.

Similarly, the damage bonus for high-level monsters against low-level players was also 99%.

Even for him, currently, he could only look from afar when facing level 300 monsters, and he risked being surrounded.

So he didn't choose to ride Lightning Steed, but continued flying high in the sky, staying far from monsters on the ground.

The journey to Qiuming Mountain was still long, probably requiring about 3 days of flight.

In his spare time, Jiang Cheng could only toss Huo Silou on his back while he bent his bow, shooting arrows at some low-level monsters along the way to earn Evolution Points and experience.

The Wailing Grand Gorge contained monsters of mixed levels, probably one of the more chaotic wild areas in the Great Wasteland.

The lowest level was 1, the highest 300, and unlike other places, these monsters were different.

They weren't divided by level zones, but lived together, still following the law of survival of the fittest, but appearing much more authentic compared to other regions.

Unlike other areas where level 30 was strictly a level 30-35 zone, level 50 was level 50-60, and level 100 was level 90-100.

So Jiang Cheng would target low-level monsters along the way, thus combining leveling up, traveling, and earning Evolution Points into one, heading toward Qiuming Mountain.

"What was that request you mentioned earlier?"

With nothing else to do, and the journey being so long, Jiang Cheng could only chat with Huo Silou.

"Huh...?!"

Clutching Jiang Cheng's neck bone tightly while lying on his back, Huo Silou was startled by the sudden question.

This damn skeleton had her sprawled on his back like a toad, flying at an altitude of over 1,000 meters, leaving her with absolutely no sense of security.

She was so nervous that she kept her eyes closed the entire time.

Combined with her worries about Qionglou's future, she had no mind to pay attention to anything else.

"Are you asking me?"

Huo Silou carefully opened her eyes, looking very confused.

But the next moment, as a strong wind swept by, she was nearly frightened unconscious by the high-altitude environment and began screaming.

"Ah... I'm going to die, going to die! Get down, get down! We're going to fall to our deaths!"

Huo Silou's left hand tightly gripped Jiang Cheng's neck bone, while her right hand continuously patted his shoulder bone, shouting incessantly.

If Jiang Cheng hadn't been lacking what would be considered a windpipe, he would have been strangled to death by now.

To this, Jiang Cheng could only shake his head helplessly and fire another five arrows.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five blue arrows landed, causing five thunderous explosions on the ground.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..."

A wave of screams rose, and 32 kill notifications appeared in Jiang Cheng's mind.

Five arrows, instantly killing 32 level 100 monsters, earning 15,000 experience and Evolution Points.

These five arrows were certainly not ordinary.

Earlier, when he killed the bull demon, a skill book had dropped called "Remnant Weapon Empowerment."

This skill was responsible for the effect just now.

【Remnant Weapon Empowerment】

Skill Type: Support

Skill Quality: Elite

Skill Level: 1

Overview: Consumes 1,000 mana to empower your weapon, increasing weapon damage and spell damage by 5% for 10 seconds.

An elite skill that only increased dual attack by five percent for just ten seconds was actually quite useless.

For Jiang Cheng, the boost was minimal, and with such a short duration, it really wasn't very useful.

However, it could be evolved.

After obtaining this skill, Jiang Cheng found it particularly practical, so he directly spent 30 million Evolution Points, 200,000 Enhancement Points, and 2,000 gold coins to push it to max level Mythical.

Remnant Weapon Empowerment directly transformed into the Mythical-level Magical Weapon Descends.

【Magical Weapon Descends】

Skill Type: Support

Skill Quality: Mythical

Skill Level: 20

Overview: Consumes 3,000 mana to empower your weapon, increasing weapon damage and spell damage by 30%. When empowering, there's a 30% chance to grant your weapon a random effect, lasting 10 minutes.

Random Effects: Ice Burst, Flame Soul, Blizzard, Soul Concentration, Thunder Burst, Dual Soul Slash, Toxic Swamp, Rapid Rainfall.

Jiang Cheng had just empowered with Thunder Burst, adding lightning power to his arrows.

Upon hitting a target, they released a lightning explosion, dealing additional lightning damage equal to 50% of his attack power to enemy units within a three-meter radius.

With Jiang Cheng's attack power, once Thunder Burst triggered, it naturally annihilated everything in its path.

"Since you're not saying anything, let's continue."

After killing all the monsters within range, Jiang Cheng continued.

"Huh? What was I going to say just now? Oh, right, right, it's... the situation is like this. You're going to the Qiuming Mountain outpost, right? There might be... very likely will be a large group of players who might have a small conflict with you."

Huo Silou finally remembered and said, "I just wanted to ask if you could... if you could..."

Twirling her finger, she somewhat embarrassedly said, "Show them mercy."
