106: twin sisters
The Huaxia Clan's dominance on the leaderboards caused a huge stir in Star Abyss.
After all, nine out of the top ten spots on the Star Abyss level rankings belonged to the Huaxia Clan.
This was simply not something a newly emerging clan should be able to achieve.
But the Huaxia Clan did it anyway, which indicated that this was a clan blessed with great fortune.
It was highly likely they would take the top spot in this trial.
Clans from the High Martial World who were assigned to the same map as the Huaxia Clan were overjoyed.
Other worlds, however, were all deeply worried.
In the past, each world would choose its own nascent clan to assist.
But in this trial, the Huaxia Clan seemed to have left other nascent clans far behind.
Even the two early ranking rewards that previously belonged exclusively to the High Martial World were almost entirely claimed by the Huaxia Clan.
On the other side, Huang Chen led eight women. Before they even cleared Zuma Temple's first floor, all eight had reached level 50.
As soon as they reached level 50 and received their rewards, Tie Shengnan and Lan Ling mysteriously left after greeting Huang Chen.
Before the Hundred Clans Map was opened, level 50 was the cap, so there was no point for Chunyan and the others to continue leveling up.
Moreover, Forbidden City currently had a lot of affairs to deal with, so they also returned to the city one after another.
For a time, Huang Chen suddenly found himself with nothing to do.
Chunyan was handling Forbidden City's miscellaneous tasks, attacking Satellite City strongholds didn't require him now, and even the search for the 95-point goddess was voluntarily taken on by Tie Shengnan.
What should he do?
Suddenly, Huang Chen remembered that he had two or three advanced forging books and potion manuals in his backpack.
However, the people Chunyan had recruited based on his list were still far from capable of crafting.
The main problem was the lack of low-level skill books.
They were basically unavailable on the main market.
These books generally only dropped from bosses in level 40+ nests.
And now, besides Forbidden City, who in Huaxia dared to challenge a boss?
Even the Womens Army had to detour around a level 40 Black Iron Evil Dragon boss, let alone ordinary player factions.
Perhaps... he could use this time to farm bosses in level 40 nests and get some low-level life skill books.
Thinking this, Huang Chen immediately pulled out his intelligence report and began searching, quickly identifying his target.
[Medicine King Valley], a Level 45 Black Iron Nest, mainly contained three types of monsters: the outermost were Level 35 Black Iron Silver-Ringed Snakes, further in were Level 40 Black Iron Medicine-Devouring Rats, and at its core were Level 45 Black Iron Swift Shadow Apes.
However, when Huang Chen saw the description of the Level 25 Black Iron Snake – Green Dragon, he couldn't help but recall the use of this snake in his previous life, and a mischievous smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.
These snakes were extremely rare in Medicine King Valley, small in size, fast, and their attack power was almost zero!
However, this snake was different from other monsters.
If one learned Beast Taming, this snake could be tamed.
Of course, taming this snake wasn't for riding or as a battle pet.
It was because the venom in this snake's poison sac was entirely an aphrodisiac; a single bite would incapacitate even the most chaste and resolute woman.
In his previous life, many high-ranking and powerful individuals would keep one or two of these.
Huang Chen thought: 'No faction should have discovered the use of Green Dragon yet, right?'
'Maybe I should get a few to play with.'
'After all, I'm a man who doesn't like to force others!'
Leaving Zuma Temple, Huang Chen identified the direction and headed straight for Medicine King Valley.
Huang Chen had never been to Medicine King Valley in his previous life, because by the time he could level there, it had long since been carved up by various factions.
After all, it was a relatively safe place to level up, and there were various herbs for crafting potions that could be collected, selling them to NPCs or alchemists for a considerable income.
Additionally, the elite monsters and bosses there would drop low-level potion manuals.
Most importantly, Huang Chen had never been to Medicine King Valley in his previous life because it had long been occupied by the Official Faction.
After all, it was safe for leveling, and there were various herbs for crafting potions that could be collected.
Additionally, the elite monsters and bosses there would drop low-level potion manuals.
In the mid-to-late game, a single Green Dragon produced there could sell for ten thousand gold, absolutely a money-printing machine.
So the Official Faction had always occupied Medicine King Valley, not allowing other factions to approach.
However, given the current strength of the Huaxia Clan, there should be relatively few people going to a place like Medicine King Valley... At the entrance of Medicine King Valley.
Two women and one man walked side by side.
One of the girls held a long sword, with a gentle and calm demeanor.
The other played with a dagger in her hand, her eyes sharp.
Their temperaments were completely different, but their appearances were identical.
They were a pair of twins.
The man accompanying them was about 182 cm tall, appearing refined and elegant.
"Li Jiadong, have you really discussed with your third uncle to allocate an outer leveling spot for us?" The sword-wielding woman, named Lin Qinglian, level 28, was the elder of the twins.
She and her younger sister, Lin Qingmei, were the granddaughters of Lin Bitiao, a high-ranking Huaxia official.
Lin Bitiao was a civilian official, so after descending into Star Abyss, he had no military or police forces to assist him.
After a difficult time in Novice Village, his family only reunited with the Huaxia Clan's high command after arriving in the main city.
However, after arriving in Star Abyss, civilian officials were not highly valued, and the Official Faction did not have a dedicated department to help them level up.
The twins only managed to slowly reach level 28 by following their family's army, thanks to having many female friends among the third generation.
As for some male friends, they dared not follow them out at all.
Once, they were tricked into going out and almost ended up with a free meal they couldn't pay for, luckily their childhood friend, Tie Shengnan, arrived in time.
Otherwise, the two of them would probably have been swallowed whole.
Recently, Tie Shengnan had been busy, often not replying to their messages, and it wasn't good to constantly leech off her experience, as she also had a large family to support.
However, today, Li Jiadong, her elder sister's suitor, happened to invite them to Medicine King Valley to level up.
Such opportunities were rare!
Moreover, Li Jiadong was an old acquaintance, well-educated and refined, so they thought he wouldn't have any bad intentions, and thus gladly accepted.
"Qinglian, Qingmei, don't worry. I've already spoken with my third uncle. He's allocated a small valley for us and arranged for four personal Guards to help us fight monsters," Li Jiadong said with a smile as they walked.
Soon, the three arrived at their destination.
The destination was a small mountain hollow, about 500 square meters. Visually, the density of Silver-Ringed Snakes was not high, and with Guards leading the way, it shouldn't be too dangerous.
However, Lin Qinglian still felt a little nervous looking at these 'spicy strips'.
After all, girls are inherently quite resistant to creatures like snakes.
"Go!"
At Li Jiadong's command, four Guards brandished their weapons and attacked the nearest Silver-Ringed Snake, while Li Jiadong and the two women also simultaneously cast their skills.
The Silver-Ringed Snake, under attack, immediately spat venom at one of them.
-2431
-245
-245
The poisoned soldier quickly retreated. Lin Qinglian waved her left hand, and a Universal Salvation was immediately cast on the retreating soldier.
"Can't you dodge?" Li Jiadong roared at the soldier.
Ever since the Official Faction learned the benefits of proficiency, they ordered soldiers to continuously improve their proficiency in combat.
If they could dodge more attacks, it would also greatly reduce the pressure on Water Element users healers, saving a lot of blue potions.
The poisoned soldier, startled by Li Jiadong's roar, nervously shrank his neck.
Don't let this young master's refined appearance fool you; when he gets angry, he has many ways to torment people.
They were personal Guards, and while outsiders didn't know this, they had seen it many times.
Lin Qinglian and her sister frowned simultaneously upon hearing Li Jiadong's roar.
Li Jiadong usually wasn't this quick to anger!
However, they didn't suspect much, as shouting and yelling were commonplace in the military.
Li Jiadong's personal Guards had been fighting in this nest for several days, so they had a deep understanding of the monsters. Soon, with everyone's cooperation, several Silver-Ringed Snakes were killed.
Just then, Lin Qinglian suddenly looked at Lin Qingmei with joy and said, "Sister Tie is looking for us! She said she can take us leveling!"
"Really!" Lin Qingmei's eyes lit up at the news.
Li Jiadong overheard the two women's conversation and leaned over to ask, "Sister Tie? Are you talking about Tie Shengnan?"
"Mm-hmm!" Lin Qinglian nodded and said, "Sister Tie said she can take us leveling from now on!"
An imperceptible shadow of gloom flashed in Li Jiadong's eyes upon hearing this.
"So, should we go find Sister Tie now?" Lin Qingmei asked.
"But we're about to reach level 29!"
Lin Qinglian was a little reluctant to leave the experience here.
After all, Tie Shengnan shared experience with the entire legion, and following her required strict obedience to commands.
Leveling up here was definitely faster and more comfortable.
"How about we tell Sister Tie we'll go tomorrow? This kind of leveling opportunity doesn't come often!"
Lin Qingmei also didn't want to miss this leveling opportunity.
Just as the two women were hesitating, Li Jiadong opportunely advised, "Qingmei is right, this opportunity is truly rare! It took me a lot of effort to get my third uncle to approve it!"
"Alright then! I'll reply to Sister Tie!"
Lin Qinglian also felt that she shouldn't give up such a good opportunity, thinking that reporting to Tie Shengnan tomorrow should also be fine.
As the twins finished sending their message and continued fighting Silver-Ringed Snakes with the personal Guards, the evil desire in Li Jiadong's eyes behind them grew stronger.
He then quietly stretched out his hand, and a faint green light darted into the grass at his feet and disappeared.
