Chapter 160: The Consciousness to Hold Up Against the MonsterTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Sss…"

When Qin Ruo told them about the last part of his quest, he could clearly hear Grandiose Dragon's sharp inhale.

Although Grandiose Dragon had tried his best to hide his feeling of disbelief, he could not hide his shock completely. His eyes reflected the colors like that of a faulty traffic light, blinking fast with complicated emotions, seemingly judging the authenticity of Qin Ruo's story.

However, every word Qin Ruo had said and his description of the Snowpeak were accurate. Even if Grandiose Dragon kept trying to find the tiniest fault, there was none. Besides, it was impossible for someone to create such a rich and detailed story in a short time.

Violetmoon Devilite could tell if someone was lying. Yet when Qin Ruo described the white Snowpeak with full of endless trials, she was sure he was not lying at all. She could imagine the beautiful ice cave filled with icicle and ice pillars that Qin Ruo described.

A pair of Snow Giants in a lonely den. The strong and powerful Wintry Vajra, and the Ice Pythons in their nest.

All these were the things she never dared to imagine before.

Although she was promoted to Tier 4, she never thought that the difficulty of the Advancement Quest could reach such an extent. In her view, the quest that Qin Ruo experienced could be equivalent to the Tier 5 promotional quest. Nevertheless, Qin Ruo chunked it down and completed them when he was only in Tier 3. Although he did not use his strength to kill them directly, the ways he dealt with them were uncanny, extremely whimsical and very impressing (of course, Qin Ruo was not stupid enough to easily expose his triumph card like Aquamorph and Elemental Perception).

After asking Qin Ruo about the two preceding part of the quest, Violetmoon Devilite's eyes widened in excitement. As expected, none of the quests were simple. A Tier 3 Aquamancer utilizing the Sapphire Lake on the island and obliterated fifty Snow Wolves. Even if a Tier 4 Warrior was doing this quest, he would necessarily be successful.

The Yetis on the Ice Mountain's ice path was even more incredible. Violetmoon Devilite tried to imagine it. She had an immersive imagination. She could feel the bitter cold wind from the narrow passage located a hundred feet above and the feeling of fear when stepping out of the snow trail during the battle and the possibility of falling off a cliff any time.

In these stories, Qin Ruo intentionally concealed the most crucial parts. For example, The Twelve Forstrampart Formation, the stealth effect of Aquamorph, anti-stealth and the detection ability of Elemental Sense and the escaping ability derived from Elemental Perception. The three of them were shocked by what Qin Ruo had described. It was just only the beginning. If they knew the later part, god knows how shocked they would be. They even might ask him to train in the Snow Domain. But that would be too troublesome.

Nonetheless, his objective was achieved!

By revealing these contents, Grandiose Dragon who forced him to "expose" just now, had totally forgotten his own overly egocentric Advancement Quest. There was nothing left for his pride that was built up not long ago. In fact, he felt that he had been shamed.

In retrospect, Grandiose Dragon felt regretful about seeking for trouble and being hoisted by his own pride. Emotions swung back and forth from anger to remorse. Finally, he rigidly followed the two girls giving some hypocritical compliments. Then, using the reason of not wanting to waste time, he turned around and darted towards the respawn point of the Ice Pythons and the Yetis located far away.

***

According to Qin Ruo's calculation, no matter how noob Grandiose Dragon was, in a one-on-one combat against the Ice Pythons, it was no problem for him to protect himself, even if he could not stop the fast and agile Ice Pythons.

Unexpectedly, being irritated by Qin Ruo, Grandiose Dragon had totally forgotten the ultimate aim to pull Ice Pythons and unexpectedly drew two Ice Pythons and one Yeti out of the respawn point with great dissatisfaction.

It was still a small thing. The most serious problem was that he could not get away from the two Ice Pythons. Then, he was hit by a Yeti's snowball and was thrown a few meters away. If he had not activated the Thunder Combat Aura in time, he could have died from that attack.

"Noob shit!"

Qin Ruo secretly scolded him. He quickly followed up and frowned. He did not expect Grandiose Dragon to not listen to him about the Ice Pythons. Not only he had recklessly approached the Ice Python and drew the monster, he had also let down his guard in the middle of kiting.

'Wtf, did he not know about the Ice Python's speed and its long-ranged attack capability?

* *

'This idiot!'

Qin Ruo quietly cursed at Grandiose Dragon. If he was not Violetmoon Devilite's friend, he would have thrown Grandiose Dragon to the monsters and let him die. It was a waste for him to live, such a person who put people in trouble.

Violetmoon Devilite felt ashamed by his companion's actions. She did not expect Grandiose Dragon to make such a big mistake. She buffed Qin Ruo with Divine Blessing and Psyboost and kept close, ready to lend a helping hand any time.

Behind Qin Ruo and Violetmoon Devilite, Blue Princess was scared and nervous. Although she had the highest agility among them, when she saw the speed of the Ice Python, she felt what Qin Ruo felt towards Grandiose Dragon.

"What an idiot! You just want to show off! One Ice Python is enough. Why did you pull so many? You cannot fight them, you would just get us in trouble!"

There were two Ice Pythons and one Yeti. On their side, they had one Bowmaster, one Aquamancer, and one Priest. How could they deal with them? If Qin Ruo and Violetmoon Devilite had not rushed out, she would have wait until Grandiose Dragon died. She waited for the Ice Python to go further away before letting Violetmoon Devilite revive Grandiose Dragon.

Nonetheless, this situation was obviously not suitable for such a suggestion.

***

Qin Ruo was the first one to react. He was also the first one to reach Grandiose Dragon to lend a helping hand. Two Frostramparts quickly appeared in front of Grandiose Dragon to block numerous Frost Arrows from the Ice Pythons and one big snowball.

Boom!

However, the Frostramparts' thickness was not enough to withstand the Tier 4 monster's attack. At one point, the Frostramparts broke into pieces. As a result, they all hit Grandiose Dragon who was just about to get up from the ground to drink some potion.

He had to admit that although Grandiose Dragon liked to show off during battles, his speed of drinking potion was no joke. As soon as he fell down, he immediately drank HP Potions faster than a man could finish a shot of whiskey.

When he was knocked down again, another bottle of MP Potion was consumed. At the speed he was drinking the potions, probably no monster could kill him… unless they ganged up on him with numbers.

Grandiose Dragon knew that, yet he was still cautious about it.

The speed of the Ice Pythons and the Yeti was far higher than him. Furthermore, his HP Potion was medium sized, it was a kind of normal potion that recovered HP over time. As a result, his Health Points could not recover in time. Seeing his HP depleting, he started getting butterflies in his stomach and extravagantly drank the HP Potion (L) again, riskily raising his HP up by a little.

The attack of the Ice Pythons and the Yeti were constant. There was no time for him to take a break. The moment he was about to die, Violetmoon Devilite's Healing Aura finally came to the rescue.

"Don't run! Drink the potion and hold up!"

Qin Ruo shouted and commanded Grandiose Dragon, who was planning to run away, to stay in place!

Grandiose Dragon cried in his thoughts,* 'F**k you! Hold up? You try it yourself!'*

The awkward situation just now had made him extremely irritated. When he was ordered around by Qin Ruo, there was an ineffable anger in his heart bursting at the seams. But as the only Warrior in the team, he still had the consciousness to block the monster. In front of the two beautiful ladies, somehow he needed to maintain his image, erm no, he needed to save his image as much as possible.

In just a short period of time, Qin Ruo had rushed toward him. Frostramparts were repeatedly cast in front of the Ice Pythons and the Yeti. It had slightly dampened the three monsters' attacks on Grandiose Dragon. At the same time, he did not attract the aggro of the monster. Only the idiot attracted the aggro in a place where he was disadvantaged and not activate the Tier 4 defensive barrier. It surely was a suicide attempt if he did.

With Qin Ruo assisting, Grandiose Dragon clearly felt that the intervals between the monsters' attacks were longer. Long enough for him to manage some time to breathe normally again. He immediately seized the opportunity to drink a bottle of potion and pounce on an Ice Python.

Bang!

The Ice Python swung its giant tail, thwarting the counterattack made by Grandiose Dragon. He also slammed out violently. After that, one Darkfrost Sting followed.

'Damn it!'

"What the f**k!"

Grandiose Dragon was feeling very low. He had finally experienced the so-called melee and long-ranged type magic attack monster. The combination of the Ice Python's melee and long-ranged attack, it was indeed more difficult to handle compared to the Tier 4 monsters he dealt in the past. No! It should be even harder! If it had not been for Violetmoon Devilite's Healing Aura, he would have had to say goodbye to everyone.

"Blue Princess!"

Grandiose Dragon furiously howled at the top of his lungs. This startled Blue Princess who was still hesitating about taking action or not.

As an elven Windchaser (specialization class of Bowmaster), Blue Princess's damage was more effective than Qin Ruo's. One arrow was shot and immediately made a number of wounds on the Ice Python's body. At the same time, she also attracted the aggro of the Ice Python. A pair of fist-sized red eyes stared at her.

The huge snake body slithered around and was about to pounce on Blue Princess.

Blue Princess's face suddenly turned pale.

Suddenly, it was as if the Frostramparts came alive, immediately rising up along the route of the Ice Python. Though it rapidly changed its route, the Frostramparts kept blocking it, steering it to Grandiose Dragon's direction who kept consuming potions.

"Use Bind! We need to kill this one first!"
