- GTA Chapter 107
Hearing Lin Liyu’s explanation, Qin Feng was at a loss for words.
This girl—always running around and still finding valuable things?
Though she mentioned dying a few times while exploring, she had already stored her lifespan, so the losses weren’t significant.
Of course, Qin Feng reminded her, “If you can avoid dying, don’t die. Don’t let your non-tradable lifespan drop to zero, or it’ll be dangerous.”
Lin Liyu nodded seriously. “Understood. I know, boss, you have a skill that can drain lifespan… We’re prepared for that. We’ll explore the city ruins first and then top up on non-tradable lifespan afterward.”
Qin Feng was surprised. “You have a stable way to replenish it?”
Lin Liyu smiled lightly. “Yes. In the city ruins, we lure monsters that have absorbed non-tradable lifespan into hidden spots and then kill them.”
“After killing them, the non-tradable lifespan they drop remains there, waiting for us to pick it up when needed.”
That was certainly a strategy.
But only the officials would have the means to pull it off.
After all, unlike any other guild, the officials would have strict ‘real-name verification’ protocols.
The officials’ real-name verification allowed them to have enough control over their players, preventing those guarding the non-tradable lifespan from stealing it… Although it wasn’t foolproof, it was a decent safeguard.
At this point, Qin Feng followed Lin Liyu through the temple maze.
He noticed that, despite being a maze, the layout was not overly complicated, and there were no traps.
Compared to the temple he had explored in the Novice Town, which took him three hours to navigate, this was far easier.
Lin Liyu also mentioned that the monsters they encountered were minor ones, which even she could handle now, let alone Qin Feng.
After about ten minutes, Lin Liyu led Qin Feng to the deepest part of the temple ruins!
Although the maze had been cleared by her six-member team, everyone else had left, leaving only Lin Liyu to guide him…
“This is it, boss.”
Lin Liyu stopped in front of a large white spherical light, taller than a person!
She reached out, extending her hand into the white orb and waving it around.
Her form, clad in a black robe, passed right through the sphere without any reaction.
“See? The system told me I’m not the chosen one…”
Lin Liyu pouted, then looked at Qin Feng expectantly. “Boss, why don’t you try? We think this temple might be connected to the one back in the Novice Town.”
“Since you explored that one, maybe you can activate this teleportation orb.”
Qin Feng nodded.
Taking two steps forward, he reached out to touch the white orb…
Immediately, the white light spread over his entire body!
Seeing this, Lin Liyu’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“It’s reacting!”
Before she could react further, Qin Feng was entirely engulfed by the light and disappeared in the next instant!
Excited, Lin Liyu quickly opened her private chat with ‘Shadow’ and sent several messages to check on him, but received no response…
She wasn’t too concerned, though.
After all, she knew that many areas in the God-Abandoned Game blocked remote communication!
…
——
[You have entered the ‘Ice Tide Cavern.’ Remote communication is disabled.]
——
Hearing the notification in his mind, Qin Feng was a bit surprised.
He had expected to arrive in a grand hall, but instead found himself in a pitch-black cavern.
*Shadow Veil!*
Qin Feng instinctively entered stealth.
As he held his stealth state, his stealth level increased gradually, soon reaching level 8!
Moments later, a faint blue light appeared about ten meters ahead of him.
“A blue crystal?”
“Wait, that looks like…”
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, recognizing the glowing blue crystal as an unstable ice element mineral—an Ice Tide Crystal!
When attacked, it would release its stored ice elemental energy, unleashing a violent surge of frigid tides!
If he couldn’t escape this cavern, then once the Ice Tide erupted, Qin Feng would be done for.
“I definitely won’t touch that crystal.”
“But…”
Qin Feng began to observe his surroundings.
With the blue light from the Ice Tide Crystal illuminating the cavern, he could see he was in a circular space about twenty meters in diameter, with seven tunnels branching out from the walls, leading who knew where…
As the blue light spread down the tunnels, Qin Feng soon heard faint, skittering sounds coming from each of the seven passages.
“Monsters?”
“So that’s the challenge…”
Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed as he quickly pieced it together: he was supposed to protect the Ice Tide Crystal in the center!
If monsters emerged from the seven tunnels and reached the crystal, they would trigger a destructive ice surge that would obliterate everything in the vicinity!
Qin Feng would not be spared either.
“The seven passages are spaced far apart, with the farthest being forty meters away.”
“They’re spread in different directions too.”
“In a typical scenario, a single player wouldn’t be able to defend the crystal on their own…”
Even with Qin Feng’s skills like Flash Strike and Night Blade, covering the entire cavern would be impossible!
Moreover, if he used large area-of-effect skills, any stray hit on the Ice Tide Crystal would trigger it just the same.
“In the last temple, I relied on summoned followers to reach the end safely.”
“Even with summons, a lack of experience exploring such places could mean death at several points…”
“This time, I’m tasked with protecting a crystal?”
“Looks like that new skill I just learned will come in handy…”
*Venomous Trap!*
By placing Venomous Traps at each of the seven entrances, Qin Feng could ensure that no monsters would reach the Ice Tide Crystal in the center!
“How devious.”
Even Qin Feng couldn’t help but marvel.
This type of defense mission was usually designed for a team.
And now he was expected to tackle it alone.
If not for recently learning Venomous Trap, he might actually be facing death here.
With his current defense stats, he stood no chance of withstanding the Ice Tide Crystal’s eruption.
But…
With Venomous Traps in place, this task would be much more manageable.
Still, Qin Feng didn’t let his guard down.
Relying on his extensive experience, he looked up…
Sure enough, he spotted two passageway exits side by side in the cavern ceiling!
“Clever, far too clever!”
“Even if a team were here, their attention would be on the seven ground-level tunnels. They wouldn’t expect two more in the ceiling!”
“Halfway through, a couple of monsters could drop down and wipe out the whole team!”
It was a mission nearly impossible for a solo player to complete!
This made Qin Feng even more curious.
What kind of reward awaited him upon completing it?
