They drop the topic after that. Ling Yi then sat up and asked, "You don't think you'll have the chance to become a player again?"
Lin Shurou's eyes flickered, and she looked at him in surprise. "You were serious about saving my district." Then her eyes hardened. "Don't go there. Defeating that Beast King is impossible. If you fail, there will be severe consequences. It's not worth it."
Ling Yi understood the difficulty very well, but telling this to the girl would only waste his breath. So he didn't bother to waste any more time persuading her.
'I heard there's a mysterious treasure in the beginner-level maps...'.
...
[A new day. You have gained 3 hours from descending.]
It was midnight on the third of June. The third day since he could enter God's Path.
This time, Ling Yi came with a goal in mind.
He wanted to go to the main road to obtain a mysterious treasure the players had been boasting about on the forum.
So as soon as he arrived, he quickly used his teleportation talisman to travel.
The mutated teleportation talisman could teleport a maximum of 10 kilometers in one direction, and he designated the direction as the main road.
The next second, the scene changed.
He arrived at a canyon.
The canyon was about two hundred meters wide, and the ground was flat. On both sides were lush green mountains, and the top of the mountains was about three to four hundred meters high.
The area was filled with ghostly monsters that floated a few meters in the air. Their bodies were made up of unknown light green gas.
[Current area: Zephyr Canyon (Main road's second checkpoint)]
[Monster information: Wind Elemental (Level 5 - 15), Wind Maestro (level 15, Boss)]
The monsters floating in the air were the Wind Elementals.
When the monsters saw a human appear on their turf, they immediately left their "wandering" state and flew at full speed toward him.
Ling Yi's target wasn't them, so he didn't want to waste his time on them and immediately broke into a run.
The Wind Elemental's agility was its advantage, and a level 15 Wind Elemental had 45 agility points. But thanks to Ling Yi Support's additional attribute, there was no way these monsters would be able to catch up to him.
Currently, Ling Yi's agility was as high as 100 points!
If an ordinary level 15 monster couldn't catch up to him, a boss monster would have difficulty competing with his speed!
"The teleportation talisman traveled ten kilometers. I didn't expect to arrive at the second checkpoint immediately." He ran and pondered out loud.
'According to the information I've read, the treasure is somewhere in the main road's second checkpoint, hidden in a chest guarded by the boss monster.'
'So all I needed to do was to run, grab the chest, open it, and leave.'
"I don't need to fight them for now."
The monsters and chests on the main road differed from those on the plains. On the main road, if a monster died, it would not respawn. But the treasure chest's contents, quantity, and the location where it was hidden were all the same.
In the plains, killed monsters could respawn, and the location of the treasure chest was randomized.
Which was why Ling Yi was confident that if he opened the treasure chest, he would be able to obtain the treasure he was after.
The only problem was whether he could pass the second checkpoint's boss, the Wind Maestro.
The most significant difference between the monsters on the main road and those on the plains was the fact that the monsters on the main road would fight in groups.
They fought strategically and showed high intelligence. Moreover, the group's leader could command all the monsters in the area.
Ling Yi really wouldn't know what to do if he were to fight against them.
It would be a challenge, especially if he continued to rely on his [Starfall]. These monsters wouldn't stay still and wait for their demise like the ones on the plains.
Meanwhile…
Somewhere in the depths of the canyon, the leader of the monsters, the Wind Maestro, suddenly opened his eyes.
This humanoid creature was three meters tall with a black cloak covering it from head to toe. The only thing you would be able to see was his glowing green eyes, burning in the darkness of his cloak.
He was floating half a meter above the ground with his legs crossed.
Its withered hands, which looked like dying tree branches, held a five-meter-long green scepter. The surface of the scepter had some light spots flowing on it.
It was an extraordinary item.
Perhaps he had sensed the player's aura as he slowly flew up into the sky and looked into the distance.
That was when he spotted the human being chased by thousands of Wind Elementals.
Seeing this, the Wind Maestro slowly raised the scepter in his hand above its head. Suddenly a strong gale blew across the overworld.
Whoosh!
The Boss monster directed the wind towards the direction he was facing.
The grass that was not deeply rooted on the ground and dirt were all swept up by the gust of wind and thrown into the distance.
On the other side, Ling Yi was running when he saw chunks of dirt and dust from several hundred meters away rising into the air.
"The boss has made his move!"
Before coming here, he had done his homework and knew what skills the Wind Maestro had.
He also prepared a few targeted talismans.
[Wind Trap Talisman (E)]: Allows the user to be unaffected by the wind for 30 seconds.
As he ran, he took out the paper from his rucksack.
He had bought ten of these talismans, just in case.
Thankfully one piece of paper only cost 2 gold coins, which was not expensive in his book.
Once he activated it, a light blue character appeared in front of his chest. The entire character glowed from top to bottom and then quickly disappeared.
Ling Yi, who was running at high speed, was already unable to speak due to the wind blowing against his face, but once the talisman was activated, he immediately felt the difference.
It was as if he was wrapped in a transparent shield, and he could no longer feel the existence of the wind.
With no wind pushing him back, he became even faster!
His clothes, which were flapping in the wind, had calmed down as though he was running on a treadmill.
Even when the Wind Maestro directed a strong blast of wind towards him, he couldn't feel anything other than the soil particles that were swept up into the air and stained his clothes.
In the blink of an eye, he was less than 100 meters away from the boss monster.
From this distance, Ling Yi could see the maestro's appearance.
Seeing that his attack was ineffective, the Wind Maestro spun his scepter and summoned a Verdant Eagle.
"Sh*t, I won't be able to block this!"
All this time, the maestro had been manipulating ordinary wind, which didn't cause any damage and only worked to slow him a little.
The Verdant Eagle was just as strong as a player's summoned beast.
Ling Yi tried his best to dodge.
His Earth Shield could only block 30 times, and after that, with his current physique that was no different from an ordinary person's, Ling Yi would not be able to withstand a single attack from the other party.
The Verdant Eagle had a wingspan of three meters, and its entire body was made up of green flames.
The moment it was summoned, it flew up into the sky. It changed its course when it reached a certain height and glided towards Ling Yi at high speed!
It was extremely fast!
If his agility were any slower, he would only be able to see beams of green light flashing across the sky.
Even Ling Yi, who had 100 agility points, couldn't help but exclaim, "So fast!"
Then, out of reflex, he yelled, "Duplicate!"
Whenever he saw one with high attributes, he wanted to copy it.
But since the level of the Verdant Eagle was much higher than his, his skill failed.
The level of the summoned beast was the reflection of the user's.
As a level 15 Wind Maestro, the summoned beast would naturally be level 15 as well.
[Attribute Duplication]: Could only copy those whose level was lower than the user.
"What a pity." Ling Yi didn't dwell on it.
As the Verdant Eagle swooped down on him, Ling Yi quickly stopped running and tried to dodge the incoming attack.
