Chapter 111 (Traveling Together)
When I had my equipment repaired, Lu Xue Han already came, together with Xin Yu and Xu Lin.
“What’s the matter? Can’t part with Xue Han?” I laughed.
Xin Yu shooked her head, “No, we came here just to see how the equipment are selling. Aren’t you going to take Xue Han for a mission? You should hurry up then.”
Lu Xue Han laughed and quickly said, “Lin Fan, let’s go then. Sister Lin and the others are going to help a level 30 player with a mission. We don’t want to disturb them either.”
I nodded and told her, “Xue Han, are your equipment’s durability full already? It is best to repair it beforehand. Over there, the monsters will attack intensively. The equipment’s durability will be consumed very quickly. Also, buy more blue potions. Later on, the potion consumption will be very quickly.”
“Yes, I have just repaired my equipment. The blue potions are also sufficient. Let’s go.”
“Hold on. First, we need to get a Training Certificate for you.”
With my help, Lu Xue Han could quickly get the Training Certificate, which was required to get out of the East Gate. Now, everything was settled.
…
I brought Lu Xue Han directly circling around the Silverpine Forest. For now, I only knew the way to the Land of IceWind was through the Rhino King’s cave. I didn’t have any time to explore another possible way to get there. Lu Xue Han was able to endure patiently with me all the way from Silverpine Forest to the Rhino King’s cave. It was until I lifted the loose-straw mattress that she put up a very cute face.
“Lin Fan… Do we need to crawl through this place?”
I nodded, “This is the only way that I know of. Should I go first?”
Lu Xue Han nodded embarrassingly, “That… Okay then…”
I immediately crawled over, then turned around to take her hands, and carefully pulled her out. The feel of her soft and tender hands was almost unbearable for me.
Lu Xue Han struggled gently for a moment, her face blushing, “I can do it…”
I froze and quickly let off my hands. I smiled foolishly and led her forward.
The journey, which took nearly one hour, was abnormally difficult. Fortunately, Lu Xue Han was the kind of soft and tender girl with a lot of patience. If it were Xin Yu, she would already cause an uproar; it wouldn’t be strange then if I didn’t get any headaches.
Finally, we arrived at the snowy mountain. I pointed above and said, “The Land of IceWind is located inside this mountain. There are many monsters in the valley. If we kill all of them, both of us would at least rise two levels, and this is only a conservative estimation…”
Lu Xue Han looked at me surprised, “Aren’t you exaggerating it? I only rise half a level after burning monsters for a whole day.”
“You’ll know after you go in. Come, the entrance is on the hillside, the road is a bit slippery. Why don’t you hold on to my hands?”
Lu Xue Han hesitated for a moment, then I said, “Oh girl, do I need to pull you with a stick?”
Lu Xue Han pursed her lips, smiling, and then stretched out her hands to grab my arm, “Don’t be silly, let’s go. To actually go so far for a mission, it’s really too exaggerating. I really have no idea how you can arrive here.”
I just wanted her to hold my hands but didn’t expect her to actually hold my arms. Sweet…
Half an hour later, we finally entered the entrance of the Land of IceWind. The monsters that I killed this morning had all respawned again, so we could only go down by killing all the way. Thanks to her support and attack, it was much faster than when I did it all by myself.
In the blink of an eye, we already arrived at the cut-off ice path. Although she didn’t fear the heights, but to let a girl jumping from such a high cliff was something that she might be reluctant to do.
Watching Lu Xue Han hesitating, I had no choice but to say, “I’ll jump first to lure the monsters. Use your Blazing Rainstorm to burn the monsters below and then heal me. You can jump down when all the monsters are killed. I’ll catch you. Don’t worry, it will be safe.”
Lu Xue Han bit her lips, “Okay, that would be fine.”
…
I nodded, moved back a few steps, and then gritted my teeth and jumped down. From far away, I could already see all the monsters had gathered toward me. It gave off a feeling as if I was going to get bitten by zombies like in the Resident Evil.
Fortunately, those monsters weren’t zombies, but I wasn’t an easy prey either. From the cliff top, Lu Xue Han waved her cleric’s wand and a vast scarlet-colored fire rain suddenly fell from the sky. It was my first time seeing her Blazing Rainstorm, such a spectacular sight. The fire rain immediately formed a burning inferno on the ground, the 10×10 area almost enveloped all the monsters. Since I had formed a team with her, I was left unharmed. Seeing the monsters next to me constantly collapsing gave me such a great feeling.
I would need ten minutes to kill all the monsters by myself, but with her Blazing Rainstorm, it only took two minutes to burn them all. This was the leveling speed of a magic caster. At the beginning stage, most of the spell casters wouldn’t have an AOE skill, but on later stages, there would be more and more AOE skill books available. On the ranking chart, there would be more players from the spell caster professions.
“Lin Fan, I’m coming down…”
Lu Xue Han stretched out her head and grinned. She didn’t look nervous at all.
I took a deep breath and smiled, “Move back a few steps and dashed over. Don’t be afraid, I’ll catch you.”
She nodded and quickly stepped back a few paces. A few seconds later, her figure appeared in the air. The white Cleric robe was blown by the wind, her beautiful body could be faintly seen through her thin clothing, extremely attractive.
I quickly adjust my position, don’t want to let her landing with her head first like me.
“Whoosh~.”
With the momentum from the fall, Lu Xue Han’s little body fell into my arms. Both of us slipped on the ice until we hit the wall, stopping the inertia. Crap, it was even more painful than last time when I fell on my head…
“Hey, Xue Han, you can get up now…” I patted her, who was lying on my stomach. Currently, my waist was so much in pain as if it was ripped apart. I might even have broken it.
Lu Xue Han immediately got up, her face red. I quickly drank a red potion and all the pain was gone.
…
The two of us continued to move onward and killing monsters. This time, she already had more experience. She would immediately cast down Blazing Rainstorm at places more crowded with monsters. Coupled with my high attack, it wasn’t long before we reached the lowest area. Large groups of monsters could already be seen below, but in my eyes, I only see Experience.
