The attributes of Dark Gold Equipment were undeniably exceptional, but the two equipment’s Elementalist specific traits were so exceptional that they were at a loss of words. Terramancers really were the Elementalists with the highest Defense among the other Elementalist Classes. If the Terramancer was equipped with a full set of Dark Gold Equipment and activated his Barrier, he could easily tank a Tier 4 Berserker without any problem!

However, the most amazing part was that Mu’s robe had an Element Affinity Increase of 5% which was an attribute of the highest grade, coupled with an additional defensive skill.

With two of these exceptional traits together, makes the equipment even more spectacular! Slayer’s Heart estimated the value of the equipment to be worth more than one million gold! But he firmly suggested that they should not sell the equipment!

The Dark Metal Cape value on the other hand was much lower in comparison as few of its attributes were not particularly exceptional. Only the additional special skill it had Terrain Presence Detection was not bad, but that skill was inferior in comparison to Elemental Perception. Since it could only be used in special conditions during battle, and it was not really useful during party battles, its estimated value would be around three to forty hundred thousand gold.

This equipment however had more value to Qin Ruo!

In the Twelve Zodiacs Clan, only Mu’s Terrain Presence Detection was able to detect Qin Ruo’s presence during Aquamorph. Taking this equipment from him means that he could be more at ease when they enter the Mythical Battlefield from now on.

But you win some you lose some!

Although Mu was not a threat anymore, Tiger Cub who was stronger and fearsome had appeared. Moreover, even if Qin Ruo and Slayer’s Heart teamed up, they would still have to choose to escape if they went against him. It seems that for these few days they would not be able to enter the Mythical Battlefield.

Thus, after celebrating for their spoils of victory, Slayer’s Heart had announced his decision which made everyone sigh helplessly. Especially Brother Da, as he was prepared to join everyone in the Mythical Battlefield for these few days to increase his strength so that he could establish his position as the leader in his company.

Unexpectedly out of nowhere a Legendary champion with the nickname Savage Cub had appeared and ruined their plans. Indisputably, everyone’s spirits were dampened as they cursed him in their minds.

“But what about the Pet Eggs? Are we giving up on farming it?”

Dinosaurcerer asked Captain Slayer’s Heart with a disappointed look.

Gold Digger Babe and Violetmoon Devilite also voiced their concerns anxiously.

“Yeah, it has only been two days, are we giving up so easily?”

“Why don’t we just change to a different location? Captain?”

Both girls were afraid that their party would be disbanded since this was their first time having so much fun in H&G. Since they have not even enjoyed it to their heart’s content, it was hard for them to part with everyone and resume their usual and boring lives of killing monsters and leveling alone.

“For the next few days, Twelve Zodiacs will keep a close watch of our movement, which makes the Mythical Battlefield unsafe for us. But other places on the other hand...” said Slayer’s Heart as he furrowed his brows and consider other possible places they could go. But he could not think of any place better since they could not even get any Pet Eggs from Silentdeath Jungle which had a high drop rate from Elite Minibosses. Where else could they possibly go to farm? The element of luck needed was too high!

“The drop rate of Pet Eggs are just too low, we can just keep on farming blindly. I personally think we should just let it happen naturally and everyone should just keep their mind off Pet Eggs temporarily. Let’s just spend a few hours to assimilate everything we gained from the Mythical Battlefield, since Pets don’t provide any significant help in the near future,” said Qin Ruo which made Burning Rose gave him a sidelong glance.

“Assimilate?”

“Yup, I was thinking of spending some time to increase the Skill Mastery level of Aquamorph, Frostbarrier, Mana Drain, and Compressed Frost Bullet. These few skills are the most useful... Raising them to Master level would be more effective in battles,” Qin Ruo said with a tone filled with confidence as he continued voicing his opinion, “Brother Da and Burning Rose should also do the same. Brother Da you need to practice you skills more and Burning Rose you should also do the same with your Elementalism.”

Burning Rose nodded but Brother Da’s chubby face put on a scowl as he looked toward Slayer’s Heart and Little Apple and said, “I thought that I could have more time to learn more from Captain and Little Apple.”

“Its not like we are separating forever, we are just taking a short break that’s all...” said Qin Ruo as he rolled his eyes and asked Slayer’s Heart, “Brother Slayer, I propose that we take a rest for today and tomorrow we go to Aricus Underground Ruins. What do you think?”

“That place...”

Slayer’s Heart had a silent pause and nodded.

“Okay!”

Burning Rose and the rest of the girl’s spirits were raised again.

“Alright!”

“With our party’s current strength, it should be a breeze now.”

“Yeah, I was also thinking about it earlier to see what treasure we could find there. Last time, we didn’t even have a chance to meet a Tier 4 Boss.”

Although the girls were still repulsed by the hairy spiders, they were also greatly interested in the rumors of the Ruins’ secret chamber. Especially after their previous encounter and knowing about Qin Ruo’s Twelve Frostramparts Formation, it had been on their mind ever since.

However, Gold Digger Babe and Violetmoon Devilite were still afraid of the place.

Especially after Burning Rose and Little Apple had described in detail about the scene where the big hairy spiders running around creepily, just the thought of it gave them goosebumps!

“Eeek...”

“Do we really have to go there?”

Although Gold Digger Babe was usually so brave and outspoken, her inherent fear of hairy and creep animals made her usual carefree voice tremble as she asked. On the other hand, Violetmoon Devilite was so scared that she paled and could not speak a word.

But after everyone had agreed unanimously, the two girls could only accept their dreadful fate tomorrow.

A whole bunch of spiders...

Hairy and creepy spiders...

;Eek, just the thought of it might give us nightmares tonight.;

Subsequently, they had also decided the distribution of the two Dark Gold Equipment.

It was an unexpected surprise for Qin Ruo when Slayer’s Heart suggested trading with other members in his League for an Aquamancer and Bandit equipment with equivalent value for both Qin Ruo and Gold Digger Babe since two of their equipment were still Violet tier. The rest of the party unanimously agreed.

The first reason would be during the battle with Mu, Saga, Camus, and Tiger Cub, Qin Ruo contributed as much as Slayer’s Heart and Slayer’s Heart did not need any equipment for the moment, thus giving Qin Ruo the chance to upgrade his equipment.

The second reason was because Qin Ruo really needed better equipment so that he could protect himself better and increase his strength. At the same time, this would also help increase the party’s overall strength. As for Gold Digger Babe, it was to compensate her loss of one level and one Gold Equipment. Thus allowing her the opportunity to trade with the Dark Metal Cape which was in a way a blessing in disguise for her misfortune.

As for the rest of the equipment gained from the Twelve Zodiacs members in Silentdeath Jungle, they decided to divide it amongst themselves.

By the time they had settled everything, it was already midnight 12:50 a.m.

“Alright, everybody remember to prepare yourselves for tomorrow’s plan. We will end our meeting now. Everybody remember to meet up at 7 p.m. at our usual place!”

“Okay!”

“Sister Little Apple, take me along with you, I have much more I want to learn from you...”

“...”

“Devilite and Babe, let’s all go to Snow Domain together.”

“Okay!”

“Big Brother Qin, want to join us?”

Violetmoon Devilite asked with her big shiny eyes gazing towards Qin Ruo. Just as Qin Ruo was about to answer, Slayer’s Heart replied, “You guys go ahead first, I have some private matters to discuss with Little Qin.”

Qin Ruo was stunned.

“Oh okay, see you tomorrow then.”

After the girls departed together, Dinosaurcerer and Brother Da went along behind them.

...

After everyone else had left, Slayer’s Heart raised his glass of wine to toast with Qin Ruo and then he spoke with a heavy tone, “It is unfortunate but your friends who plan to form their own party in the near future... will most likely fail.”

“Hmmm...”

Qin Ruo had a sip of his wine but he did not understand the meaning behind his words. So he chose to remain silent and listen attentively what Slayer’s Heart had to say.

“Because of what we just did, Dinosaurcerer and Brother Da will most likely be receiving special attention from the Twelve Zodiacs. Moreover, it will most likely persist for quite some time. It’s kinda awkward for me to tell them about it, but you are closer to them, so I think it would be easier for you to explain it to them.”

After hearing what he had to say, Qin Ruo smiled and said, “Big Brother Slayer, you don’t need to worry about this since they also understand about our current situation. Furthermore, they won’t be entering the Mythical Battlefield in the near future. Even if they did, they won’t be going alone.”

“That’s a relief. To be honest with their current strength, I think it would be better they create their party at a later time. At least until you have the strength of a champion. By that time, with you at their side, they would at least have a fighting chance.”

“Hah, Big Brother Slayer you are exaggerating again.”

Qin Ruo awkwardly snickered and replied, “Oh yea, its that the only matter you want to talk to me about?”

“Of course not, today I helped you asked around in my League for news about those two...”

Qin Ruo was bewildered by what Slayer’s Heart said as he had no recollection of asking such a favor from Slayer’s Heart.

“Ron and his mistress.”

Once Slayer’s Heart mentioned about them, his tone became heavy and serious as he said, “After hearing about the whole incident from you, I realized that the backgrounds of those two people were not average since equipment of such rarity is nearly impossible for an average player to obtain. Thus, I asked my friends to find out more about them and unfortunately this time you are in deep trouble.”

After hearing Slayer’s Heart’s last words, Qin Ruo could not help but shudder.
