"The body of this monster is made up of rock, so we could use thermal shock to defeat it! First, we will light it on fire and then we will freeze it with ice, that alone should be enough to make this monster crumble!"
Evolution came up with this tactic.
The players immediately began to move, collecting fats and dousing them on the Gigantic Rock Beast, before shooting a fire arrow and lighting it on fire.
When the Gigantic Rock Beast was covered in flames, the players back off and fed the flame every once in a while and waited for the perfect opportunity before allowing World Number One Ice Mage's team to cast Glacial Storm!
"Crack!" The sound of cracking echoed, as large cracks began to form on the once tough armor of the Gigantic Rock Beast, revealing the soft slime-like body inside.
Losing the protection of the rock armor, the Gigantic Rock Beast quickly fell at the hand of the players!
"Ding!"
"Congratulation to the players for completing the Legendary Mission, Bloody Battle With The Foundation Realm Monsters! Reward, 1,000 contribution points!"
When the players received this news, they all let out cheers of joy and He Yi Ming also let out a long sigh of relief.
The long-awaited system notification suddenly sounded.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, evaluation: S!"
"Reward: Twelve High-Grade Spirit Weapon, Golden Thunder Bamboo Spear Lightning Formation!"
Hearing the system notification, He Yi Ming was stunned!
The Golden Thunder Bamboo Spears were spears crafted from the Golden Thunder Bamboo, each of which was a High-Grade Spirit Weapon, not to mention the twelve of them can combine together to create a powerful formation!
Moreover, He Yi Ming possesses the Heavenly Thunder Physique, so he could also inject the power of the Heavenly Thunder into the Golden Thunder Bamboo Spear Lightning Formation further increasing its power!
Just thinking about their combined power gives He Yi Ming chills!
The S rank reward of the system was not only extremely valuable it also fits him perfectly!
It was all thanks to the player's hard work that he was able to get an S rank!
So...
How should I reward these cute lovely players?
"Ugh, we finally completed the second Legendary Mission!"
"I can't wait to see the rewards! I wonder what will Master give us?"
"We seen the rare material, we seen the Spirit Weapon, so what is the Unique Reward?"
"Maybe more title of the Inner Disciples?"
"F***, I also want to become an Inner Disciple. Not only could you record video, but more importantly it looks cool!"
.....
The players chatted while they all looked toward He Yi Ming with anticipation.
He Yi Ming leisurely dug out the Inner Core of the Flaming Salamander, and then he remove the two Spirit Bone on its back.
After that, He Yi Ming dug out the Inner Core of the Gigantic Rock Beast and found a unique piece of rock on the monster's body that didn't crack under thermal shock.
Both the backbone of the Flaming Salamander and the Unique Rock of the Gigantic Rock Beast could be used as the core material to forge Low-Grade Spirit Weapons!
After thinking about it, He Yi Ming didn't rush to announce the final reward.
"Disciples, I announce the end of this Northern Expedition!"
"You may begin packing up your stuff and get into the Silver Chariot, we'll be returning to the sect in an hour!"
He Yi Ming calmly announced!
Taking into consideration that many players had been grinding for over 20 hours straight, He Yi Ming issued another notification.
"Ding!"
"Dear players, here's a 3-hour advance notification for the coming maintenance period. All players will be forced offline during the maintenance period so please plan accordingly!"
Receiving the notification, all of the players were shocked.
After all, ever since this game has been released, this is the first time they encountered offline maintenance and they don't even know how long the maintenance was going to last.
"Is there going to be a major update?"
"The Northern Expedition is over? Ah man, can we come back to the Boundless Mountain Range again in the future? I still haven't farm enough!"
"This is the first maintenance of the game, they will surely add some major content! It might be a new map or a new storyline!"
"Hah, this game has a story? F*** the story! All I want to do is farm!"
"Maybe they're adding in the main questline. After all, the only NPC we encounter so far is Master!"
"Master is an NPC? Are you sure about that? There is no way a game AI is this advance! Who knows, maybe the game developers are the ones controlling him!"
"We'll know as soon as we encounter more NPC!"
...
While the players were discussing, they quickly strip the two Foundation Realm monsters' corpses clean and smoked all of the edible parts into jerky, stuffing the rest onto the Silver Chariot.
After three hours passed, He Yi Ming kick all of the players offline.
The players haven't slept for a long time so it should be time for them to go to bed and get a good long rest. Otherwise, if a problem occurs due to sleep deprivation, that might be a lawsuit pending!
He Yi Ming first drove the Silver Chariot back to the Spirit Stone Mine.
Thanks to the players' hard work, in only three days the Spirit Stone Mine has produced over a thousand Spirit Stone.
According to He Yi Ming's estimation, this was only about half of the mine's total reserve.
Therefore, He Yi Ming destroy the entrance of the mine so that even if someone happens to pass by here, they wouldn't be able to notice the mine and he left a marker for himself.
After doing all of this, He Yi Ming returned to the Silver Chariot and drove back.
The ride back was very smooth, after all, most of the surrounding monsters have been slain by the players.
But when he was about to leave the Boundless Mountain Range.
A gigantic Foundation Realm bird suddenly swoop down from the sky and blocked He Yi Ming's path!
"Black Feather Eagle?" He Yi Ming step out of the Silver Chariot and his eyes narrowed.
The Black Feather Eagle in front of him was an adult, with a wingspan over 50 meters, larger than half a football field.
It was exuding the terrifying aura of a Mid Stage of Foundation Realm!
This level of strength was comparable to Deep Sea King Ronal in the rain, and if you add in its ability to fly, it might be even stronger than that!
(The Deep Sea King has now officially turned into a metric to measure the strength of an enemy)
At this moment, the looks in the Black Feather Eagle's eyes were as if it found an easy meal when it saw He Yi Ming step out of the Silver Chariot.
After all, it was quite easy for the Black Feather Eagle to spot the very conspicuous Silver Chariot from the sky while out searching for food.
(Not to mention that most of the surrounding monsters seem to have mysteriously disappeared)
"Mid Stage of Foundation Realm? Perfect, I was just wanting to test out my current strength!" He Yi Ming smiled.
The Black Feather Eagle didn't care about what He Yi Ming thought. Seeing him appear it swoop down toward him and stretched out its 5 to 6 meters long talons that could easily crush a boulder!
From the Black Feather Eagle's point of view, He Yi Ming was just a sitting duck!
Seeing this, He Yi Ming smiled.
"Golden Thunder Bamboo Spear Lightning Formation!" He Yi Ming calmly said.
