“Follow me,” said Lin Jie to Feng Yun 21.

Lin Jie’s members trained at the outer ring of the Star Elves’ Tomb, and it belonged to the peripheral map. However, Feng Yun 21’s destination was not there.

Feng Yun 21 could not help but ask, “Hey, this is a Level 80 map. Having 300 people here to clear it could still be justifiable. However, with just the two of us, we will definitely die, won’t we? I can’t level up now, but the punishment of dropping in level is twice as heavy!”

“Just follow me.” Lin Jie took a look at him calmly, and then he placed a small star-like ball of light into his hand. He smiled and said, “Do you know what this is?”

Feng Yun 21 shook his head.

“This is the remaining energy from the Star Elves’ Brilliant Circle of Life. It’s quite troublesome to explain, but it is similar to the Undead Flame Seed. It has the function to increase the grade of Undead creatures,” explained Lin Jie. “Undead creatures are split according to their grades. Low, middle, high, Undead Leader, Undead Commander, Undead Lord, and the highest grade, Asura!

“Of course, this belongs to the grades of monsters, and between them, many changes might occur. However, in the hands of players, it’s much simpler. You just need to keep on absorbing it and evolve to the Undead Commander grade. Then it’ll be counted as your body has restored, and you can continue raising your grade. Your skin and ‘little Feng Yun’ will also grow back, you will have flesh again. Although you might still look like a dead person, at least, it’s better than skeleton only.

“When you evolve to the grade of Asura, then you’ll look completely human. By then, your blood lineage would have evolved too. Although the Asura blood lineage cannot be compared to high-grade blood lineages, like Barbarians and the Qi Luo race, it’s much stronger than normal players.”

After explaining, Feng Yun 21 fell into a daze, his eyes betraying his confusion as he listened.

A shred of sympathy could not help but flash across Lin Jie’s eyes. Feng Yun 21 had joined the Dark Shrine, but he was not familiarized with the rules in the shrine and did not even know about the Undead Flame Seed. Eighteen Massacres must have purposely hidden such information so that Feng Yun 21 could obediently work for the Kingdom of Glory.

In The New Age, each camp had its own way of playing, and that was the charm of a huge world view.

“Anyway, try to absorb this bit of energy first.” Lin Jie lifted his palm and signaled Feng Yun 21 to do it.

Feng Yun 21’s skull head looked at the energy in Lin Jie’s hand doubtfully. He subconsciously chewed it after it was shot into his jaws with a flick of Lin Jie’s fingers. Instantly, a comfortable feeling filled his whole body from the bottom of his heart—it was as if a few hundred beauties were massaging him. His face, consisting of white bones, blushed slightly. Only after a long while did he let out a deep breath and shouted, “WTF!? It was awesome!”

As the energy was absorbed, a shred of flesh grew on Feng Yun 21’s bones of his right hand. A lone bit of flesh attached onto the bone, making it look even more frightening. However, Feng Yun 21 was abnormally exhilarated as he knew that he might really have hope to recover! He said excitedly, “Go, go, go! Let’s go and explore the Star Elves’ Tomb!”

Therefore, the two of them entered the Star Elves’ Tomb.

The Star Elves’ Tomb was exceptionally vast. Gleaming runes could be vaguely seen on the ground underneath their feet. These runes were extremely mysterious as they were carved as snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds, beasts, humans, and gods. It was as if all the world’s lives were within them, contributing to the magic array.

Ding~

—’You have stepped into the Star Elves’ Tomb, the declining Brilliant Circle of Life is absorbing your life.’

Lin Jie took a look at his status—he would lose 50 health points per second in this map!

After drinking a bottle of High-Level Slow Restoring Health Potion, coupled with his own health recovery, Lin Jie could barely be able to negate the health deducted from the Brilliant Circle of Life. Seven Ears had already been promoted to High-Level Potioneer, and the grades of the potions he created were already higher than Potion Maniac, but the number of the potions was fewer. Under the two Potioneers’ management, the Sky Provisions Shop was bustling with business. They were competing with each other to see who would break through to Master-Level first.

Suddenly, Lin Jie thought of something. ‘Could Hardworking Pants be able to learn something from this magic circle? Such a magic circle that covers the whole land of The New Age should definitely be helpful to him.’

However, on second thought, the Star Elves’ Tomb was too dangerous, so such a Living job player should not come and add trouble.

In the tomb, there were plenty of Star Elves floating around. Star Elves belonged to the type that had no physical body, so their awareness of the surroundings was extremely low.

“Follow me!” Lin Jie observed the surroundings and locked his gaze on a platform. That platform protruded downwards from the sky, and normal people would not be able to climb it at all. Correspondingly, the Star Elves, which mainly focused on close combat, would not be able to attack there either.

Holy Light Winged Armor! Spider Transformation!

The wings behind Lin Jie instantly turned into spider legs, and he crawled up the walls, landing onto the platform lightly. Immediately after, he used Death Grip to lift Feng Yun 21 directly.

“F*ck!” Feng Yun 21, who was grabbed, was filled with bitterness. ‘Forget that I was treated like this when I was your enemy, but we are cooperating now! Also, can’t you change your habit of grabbing one’s face? Isn’t it better to grab other places?’

After putting Feng Yun 21 down, Lin Jie noticed that his skull was nearly crushed.

“Cough, cough, sorry, too used to it.” After a completely insincere apology, Lin Jie continued telling Feng Yun the plan next. “You’ll just kill monsters here. There are three Star Elves, one on your left, right, and front each. You just need to summon Necromancers and attack them from here. You should be able to kill one in about an hour. After killing them all, then the monsters will just nicely respawn.”

“That’s it?” Feng Yun 21 opened his eyes wide. “I thought I was here to go on an adventure with you.”

Lin Jie looked at him, calmly as if he was thinking of his wording. Only after ten seconds did he squeeze out a sentence. “You? Cough, cough, erm, I think, temporarily, it’s better to forget it…”

“F*ck!” Feng Yun 21 wanted to slap himself for saying such an unnecessary thing—he just had to say it! He just had to f*cking keep his mouth shut! He had to embarrass himself! Feng Yun 21 revealed a smile that was even uglier than crying and said, “Then, take care.”

“Be careful. You’ll stay here for the next month. By then, you should be able to restore your human body.” Lin Jie almost emptied half of his backpack worth of potions and handed them to Feng Yun 21 before leaving.

Feng Yun 21 looked at the potions, which piled into a small mountain, and gritted his teeth. He summoned five Necromancers and attacked the surroundings Star Elves ferociously. He also did not understand what he felt towards Lin Jie. Was it hatred? It did not seem to be so now. No hatred? But it was him who had made him become like this!

Feng Yun 21 thought it through but did not come up with an answer. As such, he decided to unleash his irritation towards the Level 80 Star Elves ferociously.

After half an hour, Feng Yun 21 was suddenly stunned.

“This position…” Feng Yun 21’s IQ finally returned to normal, and he started to observe where he was now carefully. He shockingly realized that this was the only dead angle of the monsters in the whole map! Also, the place Lin Jie had thrown him at was just nicely outside the maximum range of the monsters’ attacks. The skills of the Star Elves flew towards Feng Yun 21’s face from afar, but would instantly disappear the moment right before they came into contact.

In the whole map, this was the only box-out spot!

‘That guy, he found this spot by just looking at the surroundings?’ Feng Yun 21 could not help but gasp thinking till here. He fell in thought again, frowning from time to time. ‘Forget it, let’s restore my body first! If Lone Wolf treats me well, then I’ll pull my brothers here too. It’s a good thing, at least, better than following Eighteen Massacres.’

…

At the depths of the Star Elves’ Tomb

Lin Jie was heading deeper within the tomb carefully as he precisely evaded each Star Elf. When he encountered those that had to be killed, Lin Jie would make use of Silent Killer to attract them to the side and activate Death Rage to kill them directly.

Each time he killed a Star Elf, he would need to spend at least 10 minutes to rest. He had to recover his health and mana, as well as wait for his skills to cooldown. When traversing Level 80 maps, any carelessness could result in one’s death! In such a dangerous environment, even Lin Jie did not have the confidence to be able to 100% survive. However, he could feel excitement gradually building up in his heart.

Lin Jie had taken it easy for too long! His bones were filled with the DNS of adventure and a hot-blooded spirit. However, the heavy sense of commitment from his previous life forced him to take each step carefully.

Only until now did he taste the feeling he had been yearning for. The Warrior’s way was to grasp the hope of survival from near-death dangers, and that was to survive in the face of the adversity of definite death!

There were three goals for coming to the Star Elves’ Tomb.

Firstly, it was to hatch the Crescent Warhorse Egg. The Star Elves’ Tomb was the place where the Goddess of Moon had fallen, so hatching the Crescent Warhorse should not be a problem. Of course, the place with the richest moon energy would be the Nature Temple of Druids as there were the two water sources, Sun Fountain and Moon Fountain. If he could secretly enter it and absorb the energy, then Lin Jie wouldn’t be able to stay in the Guild of Light anymore! The whole City of Elves would attack him!

Secondly, it was to gather Uniform equipment! With the investments from business groups, there would be major upheavals in The New Age’s game world. If large-scale battles were to occur, then the army with Uniform equipment would be a secret force.

Thirdly, it was to explore the Star Elves’ Tomb. He really wanted to see what the hidden item from his previous life was.

There were a few hundreds of houses of all sizes within the Star Elves’ Tomb—one would need at least a few weeks to clear the whole map! However, it was different for exploring the map as with Lin Jie’s technique and experience, he was able to evade most of the monsters.

However, some could not be avoided.

In front of him was the road that one would definitely need to pass to enter the Star Elves’ Tomb. However, there was a blood-red Star Elf in his way! It shone as dazzling as the blood moon, and it silently floated in the air. Its hands were flashing with ferocious blood-red lightning.

[Star Elf Guardian Leader Zivers] (Dark Gold Boss): Level 80, Health Points: 2,600,000

“Darn it.” Lin Jie checked the surroundings—it was the typical hourglass-type terrain. The Boss guarded the center of the hourglass, and there was no other entrance besides that huge and magnificent door. Unless he killed the Boss in front of him, Lin Jie would be unable to advance!

“One on one with a Level 80 Boss?” Lin Jie could not help but lick his lips as his whole body started trembling with excitement! His eyes took a look at his Mystic Skill Book [Clomaros’ Seven Kills] as there was a skill with the activation condition of single-handedly killing a Dark Gold, or above, Boss and 20 levels higher than the user.

‘Let’s try out the Boss’ skills first!’

Lin Jie activated the Army of the Dead, and five Ghouls crawled out from the soil. They staggered as they headed towards the Boss. Lin Jie’s Identify was unable to find the Boss’ attributes and skills, so he could only rely on cannon fodder.
