―――――――――― 55th floor, fringe area――――――――――

"Here...... It's really a northern scenery......" Ye Chi looked at the strange landform here with emotion.

The bottom of the mountain range is still just ordinary stone and ice and snow, but from the middle upward, the mountain turns into a wonderful crystal state, and there are giant crystal clusters like sword slaves growing everywhere along the way - if in reality, this crystal is the first choice for high-precision optical instruments, but how can there be such an "optical instrument" here? At best, a telescope would be nice......

Clusters of crystals grow upwards from the ground, refracting magnificent bands of light in the light of the setting sun.

Although they are all dragons with ice, this four-legged snake is not as dio as its close relatives in the mountain pass (frost dragon), and it is just a boss in this level.

Ye Chi didn't even have any interest in killing the boss, and took out several plates of steel cables from his backpack - high-end goods that could only be bought on high floors.

Seven or eight ropes entangled its head, neck, limbs, and wings, and it was firmly locked to the ground...... How can there be a kind of Warcraft Chenghai 3C's rush?

Ye Chi swaggered towards the cave behind him—a circular cave, perpendicular to the ground, said to be 80 meters deep......

But that's not a problem.

Ye Chi made a poss--his body was covered with an almost transparent blue light--and then jumped out in a gesture of embracing the blue sky.

A loud eagle's cry.

After three weeks of rotation in the air, Ye Chi put on a large character shape used to slow down when he parachuted in the air, and the hula of his robe opened all of a sudden, like a glider, but it did not give Ye Chi momentum in the horizontal direction, but slowed down the descent in a way that was close to fantasy.

In the end, Ye Chi successfully smashed into the snowdrift, producing an effect similar to that of the upgraded Snow Arhat...... After all, how can there be such a smooth and thick snow when playing snow arhats...... And who has nothing to do to find a pump to jump down from the 25th floor? Although the final impact force is only about 5 layers......

I think there's a groove...... The jolly Americans...... (Please search for the Boston Ice Challenge)

Even a player with an extraordinary physique who jumps from a five-story building will not be able to get unharmed, and it will be a bit of a forced blood deduction...... However, Ye Chi's current situation is exceptional......

Leap of Faith: Exclusive sword skills for Assault/Assassination Sword, blend yourself into the sky and shadows, confident that you will be protected by the sky and shadows - as long as you use the sword skill, you won't take any damage with a cushion.

This means that even if there is a layer of water skin or a thin mattress underneath, he will be fine if he jumps off the Burj Khalifa...... What a handy skill......

However, this layer of snow is called a buffer, which is quite reluctant...... Everyone knows that snowdrifts together...... It turns into large ice crystals...... Actually, it's quite hard......

But it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as Ye Chi arrives here alive, it's no problem.

"So, the next step is to find that material......

Ye Chi looked at this round flat ground and was a little speechless.

It is a perfectly circular ground with a radius of about ten meters, covered with several meters of snow, and then look for something that is no larger than a human head in this space with an area of 314 square meters...... It's a little harder......

Ye Chi really wanted to ask the forging master how she got it...... But it's too late...... This is the communication invalid area......

Looking for something...... Well, looking for something......

Is there anything better than Eagle Eye?

Ye Chi paced to the center of the flat ground, the range of the eagle eye was not large, although it was far more than ten meters, but he also wanted to save as much as possible - after all, he would get dizzy if he used it too much......

His eyes glowed with a dark gold, and his vision was covered in a dark blue.

The basically opaque snow revealed a somewhat transparent light blue in the blue eagle's field of vision, and even the rock texture under the snowdrift could be seen.

This doesn't make sense.

If the material did exist, there was no reason why he couldn't find it, could it be that the cast was still buried in this vertical rock wall?

Ye Chi had also heard of this casting block, and when he took the task, he asked the NPC, that is, the white-bearded old man, who said that there was a white dragon living in the mountains to the west, eating crystals as food every day, and hoarding a large amount of precious metals refined from the stomach.

Since it was the white dragon who stored it himself, it was impossible to be in the rock wall unless he gnawed a hole...... However, looking at the shape of this cave and the structure of the dragon's mouth, it seems impossible......

Ye Chi took a few steps forward and walked directly to the edge of the cave, because this sense of vision was a bit confusing, so he hit the wall directly, and then he groped his way back.

A golden light caught his eye.

As he moved the golden speck of light to the center of his vision, he closed Hawkeye.

The golden light still shone brightly in his vision, but the contrast was slightly dimmed by the lack of dark blue vision.

Advanced Eagle Eye features, calibration perspective. (From Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag)

Ye Chi could now see the outline of the thing, like a short and thick cannonball, which had been cut into a hexagonal shape, and there were several small hexagonal crystal blocks at the bottom.

Since he didn't know what the perspective distance was, Ye Chi couldn't be sure how big that guy was, but he could be sure that the thing was under his feet just now......

It's really dark under the lights.

What can I do after that? Planing by hand......

It's a big project. Because it is almost impossible to dig a vertical pit, because the snow forms non-sticky ice crystals after freezing, just like sun-dried sand, it is absolutely impossible to stay in place honestly when you dig a hole, so the holes dug by Ye Chi must be similar cones - because the slip coefficient is the same, the amount of snow he needs to dig out without digging down is increasing in cubic multiples, and after half an hour of digging in with all his strength, Ye Chi's patience has completely disappeared, although he actually likes to play with snow...... But that's when it makes sense...... Even if it's a snowball fight, it has a purpose of "having fun", and this kind of landscape is naturally excellent in the face of an inexplicable sense of accomplishment such as simply wanting to "enjoy the fulfillment of digging a hole", but it is especially disturbing when you are aiming for something buried in a pile of ice and dust......

"It's too much to deceive people...... Ye Chi pulled out his long knife with an unkind face.

Turn around and run towards the vertical wall of ice crystals.

Naturally, he didn't want to kill himself by hitting the wall, and used the super high agility point correction and the Wonderwalker 2,0 New Year Edition...... No, the upgraded "voidWalker" special effect, he smoothly ran up the ice wall for tens of meters, and then-

Powerful bounce! Lock down the position of that piece of material, and the falcon will pounce!

Jumping from a height of more than ten meters is already an amazing impact, plus the bonus of sword skills - I originally wanted to use Starfall...... But considering his Hidden Blade, he may not be able to resist such a toss...... So I switched to the more versatile falcon flutter......

"Ding!" It can even be said to be a crisp and pleasant sound, Ye Chi's knife tip obviously hit some kind of hard object, and its hardness even shocked his palms numb"--It seems to be really hard......" Ye Chi believed in his current rules more and more, and even instantly had a kind of "Ah, do you want to use this material to cast a straight knife?" Such an idea was dispelled in an instant, although it seems that Kayaba should be more interested in the success rate of the Hidden Blade, but the front of the Hidden Blade is a dagger that uses quite a lot of users...... The quality of the Hidden Blade is only related to the quality of the dagger it is supposed to form, and although some properties may be different, the general rank and function should be largely determined by the former...... Unless Kayaba wants to change all the rules of blacksmithing, there is no way he can do it...... Straight knives are different......

Thinking of his experience of being cheated at that time, Ye Chi decided that it was better to prepare safely.

These thoughts all happened in an instant, this is Ye Chi's knife has been buried deep in the snowdrift, along with his entire arm and half of his face - buried quite deeply.

Then, with the tip of Ye Chi's sword as the center, a circle of ripples echoed, and the power of Ye Chi's sword technique was completely released from there, and the powerful kinetic energy was transmitted to the ground and the surrounding ice and dust with almost no loss after hitting the surface of the hard casting, and then after a series of linkages-

With Ye Chi's knife tip as the center, it was as if there had been an explosion, and the nearby ice dust was instantly blown away, forming a trumpet-shaped hollow with a radius of about two meters, and the bell mouth was the material block that Ye Chi had been looking for for a long time.

Before all the ice dust could slide down, Ye Chi hurriedly recovered the casting blocks—the quality of which was indeed something he had only seen in his life, and only a few pieces of ultra-rare ore that he had exchanged for contribution points from the Assassin Guild could barely match...... But it's also a notch away.

After that, Ye Chi climbed up to the entrance of the cave without much effort - with the power of the hook rope, Ye Chi could already proudly claim that he had the ability to march on all terrains.

He stretched his waist and looked at the white dragon who was tied into a dumpling on the side"--I have wronged you for a while......" He just wanted to untie the rope, because it is said that the dragon's drop is quite shabby, so he has no interest in fighting the boss, but he is also unwilling to make a wedding dress for others......

But......

", this script is wrong......"

I saw that the weakened white dragon began to roar, and his whole body twitched as if he was about to die, but Ye Chi quickly overturned this......

The creature first broke free from the steel cables around its head and neck, and began to roar in the sky, and then its white body, which was simply caused by the white light refracted by the colorless crystal, began to bleed from the inside, and at the same time began to inflate like a balloon - until all the steel cables were broken, and the whole body turned into a clear red, as if equipped with a pair of red crystal armor, and at the same time, the head began to grow a red crystalline horn like a lightning rod between the two dragon horns.

Then it floated from the ground as if it were being carried by the wind, stretched its limbs, stretched its head and neck, and let out a roar of pleasure.

"Is it hyper-evolved?"

Blood・Jade・Dragon

Four blood bars appeared next to it.

Is this evolution or madness?

It's obviously the former.,The previous white dragon can only be said to be a small boss or an elite monster.,And this is obviously a monster with an independent name above the middle boss...... Approaching the boss of the layer, because this cargo has four health bars.

But...... Even if it is a layer BOSS, it is only a layer BOSS of the 55th layer, and the number of layers of Ye Chi's strategy is currently 64, which is 9 layers higher than it, and the level should be more than 20 levels higher than him.

Although the shape is good...... But after all, it's only the story that has been conquered......

So I can only let Ye Chi have a little snack......

However, the outcome of the battle had already been decided after Ye Chi stepped into the void......

When Ye Chi pulled the long knife out of the back of the dragon's head, a window appeared in front of his eyes, marking the end of the dragon's virtual life.

"Kakutama Dragon's Blood? What's that? Ye Chi was puzzled as he weighed the only explosive, so he could only put it away for Lizbet to take a look at......

Anyway, the only drop from the boss of the stack...... It should be a good thing, right?

―――――――― next day, 48th floor, Linda Division――――――――――

"This ...... What is this? Isn't this a dream-like block that can fuse materials? I just knew there was this thing from the backstory......" Lizzebet looked crazy......

"So can it work?" Ye Chi didn't care.

"It works, it works...... However, you'll have to come up with four high-grade blocks, which can combine all the characteristics of the blocks, and then forge the composite blocks into a finished product. ”

Ye Chi put out all of his current high-grade ores, "Secret Essence Gold of the Bull Head King", which was looted from the second-layer Keban dungeon......

Shadow Bloodeater, which is redeemed in the Guild......

Crystal quartz, freshly picked up......

A piece of top-quality wind silver...... Although it's an ordinary material, the level is also very high, and the right to make up the number.

I add the dragon horn of the body......

When it was thrown into the furnace and then fished out by the tongs, it was already a strange piece of metal......

Dark gold, but with a red halo, and there are white silver lines like blood vessels inside.

Then the thing was placed on the anvil and began to be hammered - the first hammer went down and it didn't move!

I don't know how many hundred times I hammered - it is said that the more hammer blows, the better the quality......

The flattened block begins to shape......

This is Ye Chi took out a notebook like a checkbook, tore off a page, and threw it at the dagger in the shape - the assassin's notebook...... No, the Assassin's Hidden Blade is licensed......

The dark yellow piece of brown paper-like paper turned into fine points of light when it touched the dagger in molding, and the dagger, which had begun to show its good appearance halfway through the molding, suddenly began to shrink, forming a narrow sword-like object no more than three centimeters wide and less than twenty centimeters long.

"What the hell is this! Look at the good things you've done! "Lizbet seems to have been going crazy for the past half a day......

She picked it up as if she was discouraged and hopeful, and her mouth was still muttering something like "Ah, I wanted to make another work of that level to ......" or something like that, but her eyes began to look strange as she clicked on the attribute bar......

"Throat Piercer, special effect, strong armor-piercing ability, 25% bonus to weak attacks on the throat, heart, etc., 10% lifesteal...... Class...... Hidden Blade blade? What's that? The look of doubt on her face grew more and more suspicious.

"That's it!" Ye Chi took the blade from her hand, took off his long wrist armor, opened a few locks and circlips from the inside, removed the old blade that had accompanied him to this day, put on the new blade, closed the lock, put it back on his hand, popped out the blade with a "poof", and began to appreciate his new companion:

The dark gold theme of the blade has a slender shiny silver pattern like a nerve or a blood vessel, and the jagged blood groove in the center as a gear guide is indeed a dark red like blood, and although it is a metal artifact, it has a crystal-like clarity...... It's a nice piece of equipment indeed.

"I see...... If that's it...... I think I know you. Lizbet suddenly realized.

"You are Livingslater, the 'Shadow Butcher'...... Right? I've heard Kirito and Asuna mention you. ”

"If you have to call this nickname that is full of middle and second degrees, I can't help it......," Ye Chi spread his hands, "If you don't dislike it, just call me Levy." ”

Ye Chi raised his head, and suddenly remembered Lizbet's words just now...... "Is Kirito's name put in front?" Ye Chi's eyes were suddenly full of surprise and teasing.

"Who are you?" He pretended to admire the Hidden Blade, and suddenly a sentence came out.

"Ah, Kirito-kun...... Be...... Wrong! Not so! She reacted, her face flushed.

"I see...... No kidding, how much is it? ”

"Since it's Kirito-kun and Asuna's friends...... Count you 20w......"

"It's really not cheap...... Ye Chi materialized a big bag of money, "Thank you......"

"Liz, I'm here......" Ye Chi's familiar voice suddenly came from the door...... This unmotivated voice...... Kirito......

"In that case, then I won't bother you both, I wish you both a pleasant evening and afternoon, and then I'll go!" Ye Chi spit out such a string of words like a machine gun and ran away......

The two who were left behind.

"That's not the case!" *2
