Recharge? Then recharge
Since the dungeon couldn't be cleared for now, Yang Jian and Zhou Yue, not being kind-hearted individuals, decided to go all out and collect all the experience packs below.
They also planned to 'charge' the dungeon while they were at it!
Doing this wouldn't be benefiting Little Japan or Little Xi Ba.
Before anyone had a Level 60 flying mount, Yang Jian believed no one would be able to find the dungeon entrance here.
Given the dungeon's tricky location... if Yang Jian couldn't fly, he probably would have just packed up and left after clearing out the Vrykul here.
Who would think to go up to the roof to take a look?
It was a shame there was no Meeting Stone at the dungeon entrance, otherwise, he could have pulled a few more people over to level up together!
As Yang Jian was pondering how to quickly farm monsters, he saw a system notification.
Ding, Team message: 'Yueyin Qingya' has left the team!
Yang Jian was utterly bewildered.
Your subordinates are ready to fight to the death, why has Your Majesty surrendered first?
Seeing Yang Jian's expression, she said, "I'll be the Captain!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a team invitation request was sent over.
Yang Jian was puzzled.
"Is there a difference?"
"The drop rates are different..."
At this, Yang Jian had nothing more to say!
This reason was perfectly logical, simply unbeatable!
"You're the Captain, you make the arrangements?"
Zhou Yue didn't hesitate... "I observed the Vrykul structure around the castle's exterior."
"I found that the vast majority of them are melee classes..."
"I'll handle all the melee classes; you just help me target and kill the ranged monsters!"
Yang Jian was a bit confused.
"Is all this extra effort necessary? Wouldn't it be enough for me to just exert myself and quickly kill them all?"
"I'm trying to practice my skills, which can effectively improve my mastery of the rules..."
Speechless. What else could he do but agree?
"Alright, don't be angry. I'll level up quickly. Once I also reach the realm of Spirit-Body Union, we can try it out in the game!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian immediately composed himself and got ready to work!
"How about it? Tempted? Think about it, your Sister Youyou still has a long way to go before reaching Level 60! You'll have to wait quite a while for her to reach the Spirit-Body Union realm..."
Suddenly hearing Zhou Yue mention Bai Youyou, Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat.
"Cough cough, Sister Youyou is busy managing the guild! She doesn't have much time to level up!"
"Right... she's a great contributor!"
Yang Jian knew that living under the same roof, Zhou Yue's abilities meant she couldn't be unaware of his relationship with Bai Youyou.
It was just that before, she had always adopted a strategy of avoidance and tacit approval.
Why was she suddenly overturning the table?
However, Yang Jian quickly changed the subject.
Wouldn't it be better to talk about romance, wine, killing, or donkeys?
Did they really have to talk about such a dangerous topic?
"If you want to fight alone, that's fine, but with such a large castle area, you'll have to hurry!"
"Isn't it because I have you as my backup! Full of confidence!"
Thinking about it, Zhou Yue's luck wasn't just talk; it had been certified by the system.
Having reached an agreement, Zhou Yue began clearing out the Vrykul soldiers from the Utgarde Keep gate with full firepower!
Vrykul are generally three meters tall.
And the entire Utgarde Fortress was like the Vrykul royal palace situated in Hurricane Fjord.
The entire courtyard was filled with Vrykul warriors.
There were no old, weak, women, or children.
Warriors wielding two-handed axes.
Tanks carrying shields.
Hunters leading raptors.
Rogues three meters tall, yet wielding a pair of small daggers... Mages existed, but their numbers were extremely scarce.
There were no Druids close to nature, and even fewer classes that believed in the Holy Light... Speaking of believing in the Holy Light, Yang Jian was utterly speechless.
Are Paladins and Priests really specialized through faith?
The vast number of Blue Star players... especially the Xia Kingdom players... what kind of faith in the Holy Light do they have?
If you said they believed in the God of Wealth and that the God of Wealth could bestow power, Yang Jian believed that 80% of the people in the entire Xia Kingdom could become fanatical believers... Holy Light?
Not even a dog would believe it... Of course, that's easy to say.
But if power really was related to faith, then Yang Jian would force himself to believe!
The problem was, many people had never even realized this issue.
They just muddled through, and power could still be used that way...
While Yang Jian was still lost in thought, Zhou Yue had already started fighting.
Standing by a lake in the courtyard, Zhou Yue gestured.
Two Water Elemental giants, supported by Zhou Yue's mana, rose from the lake.
As the Water Elementals rose, the nearby Vrykul noticed the commotion, and the melee units began to charge forward, howling.
Zhou Yue showed no fear, directly maximizing her magical output.
A dark cloud, covering a radius of three hundred meters, appeared out of nowhere.
Unfortunately, it was all thunder and no rain.
A dark cloud with a radius of three hundred meters was insignificant for a castle spanning over ten hectares.
But it was enough to pull all the monsters in that area!
The only downside was that Zhou Yue, by controlling the Blizzard skill, had expanded its attack range at the cost of sacrificing damage.
-260, -280, -255, -260... A series of two-hundred-plus damages floated up from the Vrykul engulfed by the Blizzard.
This dragged them into combat and also applied a slow effect.
As the Vrykul gathered within the range, they didn't notice that the dark cloud above them was shrinking, while the damage they were taking was continuously increasing!
Yang Jian kept an eye on this area.
Whenever a ranged enemy raised their hand, he would directly kill them with a single Arrow of Meteor Through the Sun!
Sentries at the arrow towers, patrols in the vicinity...
Yang Jian helped eliminate all unexpected factors on the scene.
With Zhou Yue's strength, these things weren't strictly necessary, but he had to find something for Yang Jian to do!
After Zhou Yue cleared an area, Yang Jian would go up to collect the loot.
It had to be said, the favored daughter of the Goddess of Luck was indeed different.
Yang Jian didn't know how many Level 60 elite monsters he had fought!
But many of the materials he picked up today, he had never seen before... For example: Celestial Dog Grass (Purple), Dream Flower (Purple)... These two were useful to Yang Jian right now!
As for the others, he hadn't seen many of them.
No matter, just collect them for now!
As they killed more monsters, their teamwork also improved.
After they became proficient, Yang Jian decided to help Zhou Yue gather monsters!
After all, Utgarde Keep and Utgarde Pinnacle still needed 'charging'...
Yang Jian's agility and speed allowed him to run past monsters right in front of their faces!
Immediately, they would chase after him!
Yang Jian would occasionally turn back to kill those who were idly throwing spears or shooting arrows, to avoid trouble later.
Once Yang Jian led all the Vrykul from the entire courtyard into the casting range of Zhou Yue's Blizzard, he could just sit back and watch the show!
Four hours later, Zhou Yue finally killed all the Vrykul inside the walls and outside the castle!
He was forced to slack off while fighting monsters, and then after the monsters were cleared, Yang Jian was forced to clean up the battlefield...
Fortunately, the various drops didn't disappoint Yang Jian.
Numerous orange and purple materials with unfamiliar names kept dropping.
Yang Jian reasonably suspected that if his backpack wasn't large enough, the drops from this courtyard alone probably wouldn't have fit!
Sigh!
Can't you have some integrity?
Don't discriminate!
By 6 PM, when the Blood Moon descended, not only the outer perimeter but also many inside the castle had already been killed by the two of them!
Checking the progress on the roof again, sure enough, the courtyard dungeon was already fully charged...
