Chapter 7: Dual Wielding! Heavenly Tyrant Slash!
==============================
Ever since their last venture as co-hosts for the Sky Sword Sect’s final entry examination live stream, Strong Brother, donned in his iconic dog hat, and the lovely co-host Cold Little Rain have maintained a high frequency of banter together.
Fans love watching these two jest around in the game, and the live streaming results are way better than solo act!
Thus, Strong Brother, with nothing better to do, drags Cold Little Rain along for multiple duo runs to keep the fans hooked.
“A lot of our friends may not know this but just a week ago, the game opened up two new cultivation sects, the Sky Void Academy and the Flowerless Palace, without any publicity.
Compared to the Sky Sword Sect and Thousand Bird City, the admission criteria for these new factions are much lower. As long as you hit level 20, you can start your cultivation journey!
So if you’re still racking your brain trying to prepare for the Sky Sword Sect’s entrance test, maybe consider switching to one of these new sects.
Oh! And a quick reminder, the Flowerless Palace only accepts female disciples, so male players, don’t even think about it!”
At that moment, Strong Brother looked quite dapper in his custom light blue robe from Sky Void Academy, although the dog hat made him look absurdly funny.
Cold Little Rain, on the other hand, appeared exceptionally charming, drawing in numerous fans. And why not? Aside from her natural beauty, that skirt from the Flowerless Palace was dazzling!
The semi-transparent material aside, the layered hem and expertly sewn patterns screamed fairy-like elegance, and when she walked, it was like a gentle breeze buffeting a willow tree; countless eyes were drawn to her.
Many female players, upon seeing Cold Little Rain’s screenshots, rushed to join the Flowerless Palace just for that enchanting outfit.
“Of course, today besides hyping up these two new sects, we have another crucial live stream highlight.
Our team has discovered an entrance to a dungeon at Mirror Mountain.
In the words of an NPC, it’s a Small Cave Heaven.
And guess what? This dungeon has never been entered by players before; we’re the pioneer adventurers!”
Cold Little Rain shook her fist and continued, “Today’s goal is to conquer the dungeon and reach the peak of our lives!”
“Let’s go, off we stride!”
This live stream began with showcasing the outfits from Sky Void Academy and the Flowerless Palace, swiftly spotlighting the “premiere of the Mirror Mountain dungeon.”
Strong Brother’s antics noticeably attracted a horde of eager players into the live stream.
“Mirror Mountain is located in the central region of the Human race continent, where the Sky Sword Sect, Deficient Moon Valley, and Flowerless Palace meet.
This area is teeming with all sorts of monsters, especially at night when high-level wild creatures are everywhere. Strong Brother advises ordinary players to tread carefully here.
Of course, while there are no level restrictions for this dungeon entrance,
the danger level will definitely be high.
So today, Strong Brother and Cold Little Rain will guide everyone through the game’s first Small Cave Heaven scenery.
To successfully take down the dungeon, our warriors, assassins, meat shields, ranged attackers, and healers are all set; we’re just waiting for the right breeze.”
As the captain, Strong Brother was the first to step into Mirror Mountain territory.
Just then, both Strong Brother and Cold Little Rain received a warning pop-up from the system.
【Warning: Elite Monsters may appear ahead, averaging level 30.】
“Bring it on, brothers! Let’s slash our way through!” Strong Brother shouted.
After the whole team of nine entered Mirror Mountain, numerous Big Mountain Monkeys suddenly appeared high up in the forest,
With their bright, colorful patterns resembling mischievous little devils, they were aptly named “Mountain Demons”.
The Big Mountain Monkeys didn’t even give the team a moment to prepare, immediately screeching and charging at them like a wild stampede.
Strong Brother was taken aback by the fierce welcome, so he bellowed, “Quick! Fight and move, let’s get through this forest!”
The warrior wielding a heavy sword and the towering meat shield formed a barrier around the healer Cold Little Rain and the other ranged assassins, as they moved deeper into the woods while archers and spellcasters bombarded the enemy with skills.
Cold Little Rain was busy patching up the meat shield with healing spells.
Though there were tons of Big Mountain Monkeys, they were quite nimble but had low health.
A simple hit from ranged attackers left them at half health.
Once injured, these Big Monkeys were too scared to approach, merely hurling insults from a distance.
So the players were facing danger, but not too much.
Just as they were about to cross this vine-covered primitive forest,
an elite monster suddenly swooped in from above, slapping the forward meat shield so hard he was sent flying.
Cold Little Rain screamed like she was in a horror flick.
Strong Brother immediately filled in the gap left behind and struck at the elite monster with his Sky Void Swordsmanship.
Situated in the frigid northern regions, the Sky Void Swordsmanship inherently possessed a freeze-slow effect buff, causing the elite monster to slow down by about 10% once entangled.
Though it was immensely powerful, the players had enough time to evade.
“Keep pushing! Once we clear this forest, we’ll hit the territory of another group of monsters that won’t dare chase us,” Strong Brother cheered for the team.
The meat shield, now recovered and back in action thanks to Cold Little Rain’s healing, regained most of his health.
Finally, everyone’s nerves began to relax.
“Roar!”
Just then, the elite monster beat its chest and let out a thunderous howl.
The surrounding Big Mountain Monkeys echoed its wild cries.
“Boom!…Boom!”
Suddenly, two more muscular elite monsters dropped from the sky, blocking their path.
Despair engulfed the team.
Strong Brother exclaimed, “No way! This can’t be happening! How can an ordinary wild monster tribe have three elite monsters at once?!”
Despite still wearing the dog hat, his trembling voice gave away his rising fear.
If the captain was this panicked, just imagine the team!
Cold Little Rain’s blue mana was quickly dwindling, and she’d already used up nearly half of her blue potions.
She had no idea the battle would be this intense; her healing spells couldn’t keep up with the plummeting health rates.
The audience began to squawk in disbelief,
“What gives? Did Strong Brother even prepare for this? They’ve clearly stumbled into a high-level monster zone; aren’t they just asking for d*ath?”
“Strange, I remember watching Strong Brother’s previous stream where he visited Mirror Mountain and didn’t encounter a single elite monster the whole time.”
“Could it be because their squad’s level is generally higher?”
“Even so, the average is only level 28; they might barely hold their ground against one elite monster.
But facing off against three level 30 elite monsters? Who could handle that?”
Just as the audience was speculating, the three elite monsters lunged at them from different directions,
Their bodies weren’t as robust as a gorilla’s, but those powerful arms were definitely beyond what the current team could withstand.
“Ah… Ah…”
A flurry of ghastly screams echoed as the few scrappy defenders turned into wisps of smoke, and without their protection,
the remaining players were sliced apart like vegetables by the elite monsters.
Finally, Strong Brother was left alone, desperately shielding Cold Little Rain as they ran like the wind, until they were cornered by a cliff.
The three elite monsters slowly closed in,
The two exchanged a look of despair, little did they know they’d hit such a rough patch.
What? They were about to bite the dust before they even began properly!
“Roar!”
One elite monster pounced fiercely, pinning Strong Brother, who was fighting tooth and nail, firmly to the ground.
And just as he and Cold Little Rain awaited the grim reaper’s scythe to fall,
A crisp female voice suddenly rang out beside them,
“Dual Wielding! Heavenly Tyrant Slash!”
