Chapter 666 - So Dawn Goes Down to Day, Nothing Gold Can Stay

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“One question, why are you killing me?”

Outside Shattered Frost City, Hua Feihua lay on the ground as she hatefully asked the Thief in black who was gazing into the distance.

The Thief in black emotionlessly answered, “Is there a need for a reason?”

The Thief in black’s answer infuriated her even more. She has been killed at least a hundred times by this knuckle-headed Thief, yet she still did not know why!

The Huashan Sect’s third boss, Fengxi!

Hua Feihua had tried seeking help from her brother. Hua Feiwu had brought men to lay siege, killing him multiple times but the guy had nerves of steel and the stubbornness of a bull. He tailed her around nevertheless and struck when there was a chance without holding back, leaving Hua Feiwu’s hands tied. He was no longer his former self after all, whether in reputation or in name so he was lucky to have a group still following him, but he would be a fool to think he could rely on them to kill Fengxi for him daily.

Hua Feihua had just obtained a piece of a golden treasure map and was prepared to start digging when she was stopped by Fengxi.

Hua Feihua looked for Wang’er and thought that he would put an end to this. However, Wang’er indicated that his Third Brother would never do anything behind his back.

“You’re my woman and you’re telling me Third Brother’s camping you? Impossible. Impossible. Definitely, impossible. Third Brother is smart, he’ll fool everyone in the world but me.”

“But he has been killing me for months. If you don’t believe me, I can send you a video.”

“There’s no need. I’m solemnly telling you, Sister Hua Hua, I may like your big white ass but if you interfere in my relationship with Third Brother, I’ll... have... to... painfully... bid you farewell.”

Hua Feihua’s mind was about to explode. She thought about Milk Dipper Solitary but was too embarrassed to seek help from him. Yang Xingchen came to mind next but she quickly dismissed the idea. After much thought, she felt only Li Yi was in the position of helping.

She sent multiple private messages to Li Yi over the months, but he never replied. Hua Feihua knew that Li Yi had blacklisted her. Hence, her actions of shouting in the continental channel.

After listening to Hua Feihua’s woes, Li Yi responded, “I can help you kill Fengxi but once I do that, what about the next time? I can’t keep killing him for you, right?”

“Once is enough. I can’t take it anymore. I’ve had many men in my life, but I’ve never come across such a man who really wants my life...

“Relax, I’m not going to keep bugging you. I know you look down on women like me. I’m just really out of ideas now. My brother’s not online and I don’t have any other friends.”

“Cough, alright. You need not say more. I’ll head over now.”

Li Yi teleported to outside Shattered Frost City and activated Territory Skill to use one arrow to assassinate Fengxi.

“Szh! Szh!”

Electricity currents ran through Hua Feihua, spurring her to stand up.

Li Yi stored his Cardiac Pacemaker and summoned Onyxia.

“Thank you...”

Nodding at Li Yi, Hua Feihua rubbed on Return City Stone to make haste back to the city.

Onyxia was about to take off with Li Yi when Fengxi spoke, “Dark Wing, do you know what you’re doing?”

“Do you know what you’re doing, pursuing, and killing a girl all day? Fine, we probably have a hard time communicating at your level of IQ...”

Fengxi yelled out of the blue, “You will pay for your actions!”

“I’m Dark Wing. You’re welcome to find me anytime to take revenge.”

Li Yi left these words and was gone.

It was a while before Fengxi stood up. His eyes, exposed from the shroud burying his face, revealed his sorrow. He dwelled within his thoughts before sending a private message to Wang’er.

“Second Brother, I have forsaken you.”

Wang’er sent back a reply immediately, “What’s up, Third Brother? Who bullied you?”

“No, I temporarily lost my way in the pathway of life, but don’t you worry, it won’t be long before I find the life beyond.”

Fengxi sighed with melancholy before his body faded into Stealth.

...

After over ten hours of flight time, Li Yi officially entered the North Pole Continent’s airspace.

It had been a long time since he was here. His sight was filled with flickering snow and bitter cold howling winds causing directions became unclear.

He followed the glacier stream and soon, he arrived at a shallow basin.

Towering at five meters and equipped with maces, dozens of Glacier Giants were howling as they chased after the little animals around. Snow Deer and Snow Bears were their prey.

Glacier Giants were Blue Name monsters at Level 130. They had a violent character and were proficient at throwing javelins and snowballs to attack their enemy.

Li Yi did not get off his mount and instead, stood on Onyxia’s back as he attacked the Glacier Giants.

Activating Territory and God Mode, he struck with Overlord Arrow.

The golden arrow nosedived and soon a Skill Interruption appeared, spreading out a shockwave of an attack.

“Eeeahh... Eeeahh... Eeeahh!”

Infuriated, some of the Glacier Giants picked up snowballs while others threw javelins at Li Yi.

There were indeed advantages to attacking monsters from an elevated surface but only to a certain extent. The North Pole Continent was full of high-level monsters with incomparable skills. Their tactics to take down an enemy in the air were excellent.

Damage kept emerging above Onyxia’s head. The Glacier Giants were fast with their attacks and since Onyxia’s body was a huge target, she was completely exposed to their attacks. After suffering a beating, she could not hold up for long and was soon forcefully dispersed.

Should a mount be forcefully dispersed, there would be a long period before it could be summoned again.

The Hunter Goddess held Li Yi by his arms to fly downwards. Between avoiding attacks, Li Yi fired another Overlord Arrow.

“Wham! Wham! Wham!”

With shockwave after shockwave appearing, the Glacier Giants whose HP was in the 5 million range could not endure Overlord Arrow’s constant damage. It did not take long before dozens of them lay flat on the ground.

Li Yi did not escape unscathed. He was hit by one of the javelins, reducing his HP by 375544 and instantly killing him.

Li Yi released his soul and quickly resurrected. Were he to count his losses, it probably only be the durability of his equipment.

Li Yi stepped forth to loot corpses. Going through each Glacier Giant, he obtained seven Level 130 White Quality equipment, as well as Giant’s Hair, Giant’s Tooth, etc. miscellaneous items.

Li Yi did not bother picking them up. He shook his head and ran towards the depths of the basin on Holy Light Warhorse.

About five minutes later, Li Yi found another batch of Glacier Giants. This time, he experimented with another way to kite the Glacier Giants into a straight line before promptly retreating and firing a Quintuple Powered-up Arrow.

The arrow was fired and like meat on a skewer, it penetrated through the dozen Glacier Giants, finishing them all in one shot.

Li Yi proceeded forward to loot the corpses and when he was at the last Glacier Giant, a crisp beep rang in his ears. A bright and shiny Ice Soul Bead appeared before him.

Overjoyed, Li Yi immediately grabbed it and put it in his backpack.

He was on a Glacier Giant killing spree in search of Ice Soul Beads, a rare material.

Ice Soul Bead, this rare material was vast in its functionality, whether for Ironsmithing, Engineering, Tailoring, Jewelry, etc. However, its drop rate was so low that the price was driven up. One bead could go for 100 Gold Coins.

Of course, if they were sold in the Auction House, Li Yi would not hesitate to buy them even at 1,000 Gold Coins. However, the Auction House did not have this item, or else he did not have to come all the way to the North Pole.

Glacier Giants were the only ones that dropped them, but there were no other players in the basin at present, right?

Li Yi scoured deeper in, searching for trails of Glacier Giants.

Currently, outside the basin where dozens of Glacier Giants’ corpses lay...

“Even god is on my side, even God is on my side, wahahaha, I, Autumn Love, really am very lucky. I don’t need to fight monsters to loot corpses. God is on my side...”

Black Autumn’s eyes twinkled as she picked up everything Li Yi left behind. She did not leave these corpses to waste as every hair was plucked, every bone was picked, and every bit of flesh was kept, literally leaving nothing behind.

By the time Autumn Love was done, the dozen Glacier Giants were all packed in her backpack.

“Surely there’s more inside, what a day to prosper...”

Autumn Love swallowed hard and delved deep into the basin.

It was not long before Autumn Love came across another pile of corpses.

“Wahahaha, Autumn Love of good luck, you’re just too great!”

She proceeded to loot corpses, strip skin, retrieve flesh and store bones...

Li Yi was not aware of Autumn Love’s arrival. He was having a whale of a time killing Glacier Giants. It was not as tiring as the first time since all he needed to do was kite these monsters into a straight line before firing a Quintuple Powered-up Arrow or two to take them all down.

The speed in killing these monsters increased the odds of obtaining Ice Soul Beads. Three hours later, Li Yi looted 8 Ice Soul Beads from the Glacier Giants. He was happy with the result.

He recalled in the past life the players who fought Glacier Giants for Ice Soul Beads for a living. On a good day, it could take the whole day to acquire around 10 Ice Soul Beads. On a bad day, it was not rare to find no Ice Soul Beads at all.

Li Yi reached the depths of the basin where he was met with the Glacier Giant King. Standing within a short distance of him, the Glacier Giant King towered at the height of thirty meters and howled at the top of its lungs.

The Glacier Giant King was a Gold Name boss. Its style of attack was similar to a Glacier Giant’s, but with a multiplied effect.

Disregarding the Glacier Giant King, Li Yi found a spot and sat down for a rest. He estimated the time it took for the Glacier Giants to respawn before retracing his footsteps back.

It was not that he could not kill the Glacier Giant King but that the boss was infamously rubbish. The items it dropped were no different from the Glacier Giants and once it was killed, all Glacier Giants within the basin would not respawn until the Glacier Giant King respawned.

“Wahaha, I’m rich! I’m rich! Money, money, money, money...”

While Li Yi walked back, he did not bump into any Glacier Giants. Instead, he encountered Autumn Love.

Li Yi was stunned.

Why was that Black-hearted Chick here rather than attending to her business?
