Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Main Road’s Ninth Checkpoint — Crescent Beach “Who is it?” Lin Shurou asked after Ling Yi returned to his room.
“Oh, it’s the Phoenix Sword Saint. She’s here to give me the reward for discovering the statue’s function.”
He weighed the interspatial bag in his hand and suddenly raised his eyebrows. “By the way, do you know that the Phoenix Sword Saint and Yunji know each other? She was just asking me about our relationship.”
“Ah, that’s right,”
After breakfast, Lin Shurou sat on the sofa and looked up to recall. “If I remember correctly, the two of them are from the same district. They were friends who fought side by side in the basic and intermediate maps.”
“Later, when it was upgraded to a high-level map, Nangong Li was found by her biological parents. It was only then that she found out that her biological father was the Gale Sword Saint, Nangong Han. Under her father’s tutelage, her swordsmanship improved by the day. Later, she was even recommended to the Divine Union’s Genius Camp.”
Lin Shurou took a sip of the warm tea in front of her and continued, “It was also after that that Nangong Li quickly pulled away from Yunji and other peers her age, and grew step by step to become the Phoenix Sword Saint we know today.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Ling Yi finally understood why Nangong Li asked him this question.
After he finished his breakfast, he put the interspatial bag in his rucksack, then took out all the gold coins.
[You have received 1,000,000 gold coins]
[Double gold coins: You receive an additional 1,000,000 gold coins]
“Mm…” Looking at the information on the double gold coin, Ling Yi wanted to see if the number of gold coins he returned would also be doubled. He flashed to Lin Shurou’s side, took out the Ancestral Gem, and intertwined their hands again.
He transferred all of his 2,000,000 gold coins to her.
After a while.
[Ancestral Gem: You have received 4,000,000 gold coins]
[Double gold coins: You will receive an additional 4,000,000 gold coins]
“Holy sh*t, it really works!” Ling Yi subconsciously widened his eyes and smiled.
In an instant, he realized the advantages and disadvantages of this item.
The disadvantage was that because of the effects of the Ancestral Gem, the 8,000,000 gold coins could no longer be used for other operations. It could only be used to buy things in the store or to pay for Skills fusion, treasure upgrade, and other functions.
The good thing was that in the future, he could use this method to increase the gold coins he earned by 8 times!
Seeing that Lin Shurou was ready, he didn’t dawdle and immediately entered God’s Path with her.
…
After completing the resource challenge, the wilderness of District 66 had expanded by a thousand times.
In addition, the 1,000 teleportation gates were also evenly distributed across the entire map.
When Ling Yi and Lin Shurou passed through the teleportation gate and arrived at the fifth checkpoint of the main road, Lin Ying, who had been waiting for them, immediately walked over with a smile.
“We’re going to fight the ninth checkpoint soon. Do you have any plans?” She asked Ling Yi.
Last night, before she went to bed, she had received a message from the latter, saying that she would try to pass the ninth and tenth checkpoint today.
Even though Lin Ying felt that it would be very difficult, when she thought of 01’s previous heaven-defying actions, she felt a little more confident.
“I don’t have any plans. I’ll use [Starfall] to clear the mobs first. After that, we’ll focus on the boss.”
“Alright,” he said. Lin Ying nodded.
The three of them got up and flew in the direction of the eighth checkpoint.
While they were flying, Lin Ying saw a woman wearing a mask beside 01. She couldn’t help but ask, “Big Boss, who is this woman?”
Before Ling Yi could say anything, Lin Shurou replied, “I’m his first girlfriend. You can just call me Sister Rou.”
This was the most appropriate answer she had thought of before she came in. After all, they were not married yet.
‘Girlfriend?!’ Lin Ying was slightly surprised. Her eyes immediately lit up as she looked up and down, wanting to take a good look at how beautiful this woman, 01’s girlfriend, was.
However, to her disappointment, the other party was wearing a set of gray sportswear, and her entire body was tightly wrapped.
She could only tell from the tender, white hands that peeked out from the sleeves that she was probably a beautiful woman with fair and tender skin.
When the three of them arrived at their destination, Lin Ying reluctantly retracted her gaze.
[Current Area: Crescent Beach (9th checkpoint of the main road)]
[Monster Information: Rampaging Crab (level 65 – level 70), Water Snake (level 65 – level 75), Coastal Yaksha (level 75, leader)]
As its name suggested, Crescent Beach was a crescent-shaped beach.
The total length of the beach coastline was ten kilometers, and the average width of the beach and shallow water area was five hundred meters each. It was considered a relatively large area of the main road.
The bright sun shone on the three of them. At the starting point of the beach, Lin Ying let out a melancholic sigh.
There are many beautiful and perfect scenes on God’s Path. If the time on God’s Path wasn’t so precious, this beach would definitely become an excellent place for players to relax.
Suddenly, the nearby Crabs and Water snakes also noticed them and rushed toward them one by one.
Before Lin Ying could make a move, the sky suddenly lit up, and a [Starfall] tens of thousands of meters long fell toward the beach!
“Sh*t… The entire ninth level map isn’t even as big as your [Starfall]!”
No matter how many times she had seen this [Starfall], Lin Ying always felt that it was ridiculous.
Just like the other Skill researchers, she couldn’t understand how the Skill’s attack range could be so large. Could it be that this was actually a Skill that exceeded 10 Stars?
As she was lost in her thoughts, Lin Shurou slowly opened her hands.
In the next second, a light golden light shield appeared around the three of them. It was like a huge, translucent Golden Bowl, covering the three of them.
Under the [Eye of Truth], the effect of the Skill was revealed.
[Holy Shield]: It can release an invincible shield that can isolate any attack and effect. When the protective shield is released, the user can not move, attack, or use other Skills. The other units within the shield could not attack the enemies outside the shield. Entry and exit were prohibited inside and outside the protective shield.
This was Ling ‘Er’s Skill.
The reason why Ling Yi wanted Lin Shurou to be his Support recently was because Ling ‘Er embodied excellent Support Skills!
No matter what, it was an indirect mutation of his, so it would be a pity if it was not put to use.
“Eh? This cover…” Lin Ying didn’t think that a single Skill would be enough to Block 01’s [Starfall]. Seeing how calm the two of them were, she couldn’t help but relax.
Soon, the [Starfall] descent, emitting a dazzling light and a loud rumbling sound.
However, regardless of whether it was the light, sound, or the flames, none of them could harm the three people within the barrier.
The piercing light became gentle, the deafening sound became peaceful, and the sea of fire filled the outside, but the three of them didn’t feel the heat at all.
“Not bad. With you by my side, it seems like I won’t have to run to another planet in the future. Ling Yi was originally thinking about whether he should get a Skill to resurrect by bathing in flames, but it seemed like that wasn’t necessary.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Shurou smiled sweetly under the mask. She felt a strong sense of satisfaction and joy.
It was obviously impossible to kill a monster with an average level of 70 or so with a single [Starfall].
Therefore, when Lin Shurou removed her Holy Shield, Ling Yi pulled out two more [Starfall]’s.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the sea Asura was already charging toward him, he would have pulled a few more.
“Hurry up! Activate the barrier!”
Before Ling Yi could even finish his sentence, Lin Shurou, who was already prepared, quickly activated the Holy Shield again.
