Chapter 37

A barefooted mythical woman emerged from the mirror and flew into the air. She looked as though she was 25 years old with a height of 1.7 meters. She had long, snow-white hair, a beautiful face, and an ice-blue dress.

Ling Yi couldn’t help but gaped at the creature in front of him, his eyes going up and down in awe.

Her white hair reached her waist which was parted into two, resting on her right and left shoulders. There were two strands of hair hanging down on her forehead, slightly covering her straight eyebrows.

Her pair of round white eyes were so beautiful and alluring. Just below her small and cute nose, she had bright red and tender thin lips that faintly reflected an alluring luster.

She wore an ice blue dress that reached her knees, revealing a pair of delicate fair legs. Her hands were naturally hanging by her sides, and he noticed that she had beautiful fingers.

Noticing his stare, the creature lowered her head to look at him.

There was no joy or sorrow on her icy face, and no expression could be seen.

‘She’s a human-shaped summoned beast!‘

As soon as this thought hit him, Ling Yi finally reacted with a small yelp.

On God’s Path, there were no humanoid summoned beasts. All of them were beast-like monsters, no exception.

Some players dreamed of getting a humanoid summoned beast, but that was just that, a dream.

Now that he had mutated his summon skill into a human-shaped summoned beast, he was indeed quite surprised.

After all, he had only mutated it with the thought of strengthening his skill. He didn’t put much thought into whether it would affect the summoned beast’s appearance.

A gust of wind blew against them and only then did he remember that a group of Wind Elementals was charging toward him.

Just as he was about to let the Ice Queen attack, she seemed to understand his thoughts first and waved her hand in front of her.

The next moment, a fan-shaped wave of ice and snow appeared in the air, and without any warning, it flew into the distance at an incredible speed.

This fan-shaped cold current also became larger and larger.

All the Wind Elements that came into contact with it were wrapped in a thick layer of ice without exception.

The cold current didn’t fade until they were nearly two hundred meters away.

“Wow, this power…” Ling Yi turned around and watched as the scene unfolded. He was in awe.

Instantly freezing all the monsters within 200 meters was something that the current players were unable to do.

Even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still surprised to see this.

What surprised him, even more, was what happened next.

The Ice Queen raised her hand and spread her white and tender fingers in the direction of the monsters. Then, she clenched her fist.

In that instant, a crisp crackling sound came from the pieces of ice.

Ling Yi looked toward the source of the sound and saw that the ice that contained the Wind Element started to crack. In the next second, all the ice exploded!

Crash!

The broken ice crystals fell to the ground and melted into puddles of ice water in a matter of seconds.

The icy water emitted cold air, and in the blink of an eye, the entire area was as cold as winter.

[You’ve killed Wind Elemental (level 15), experience +3]

[You’ve killed Wind Elemental (level 13), experience +1]

[…]

And just like that, he had earned the reaps his summoned beast had sowed.

Ling Yi was more surprised than happy when he saw the kill notifications appearing in front of him.

“So many Wind Elementals were killed just like that?… You’re even more powerful than I thought.”

He turned his head to look at the Ice Queen floating beside him, and his heart was filled with curiosity about her attributes and skills.

Although he could easily kill the monsters with [Starfall], it wasn’t until he mutated it and leveled up that it got powerful as it was now.

Under normal circumstances, players, and even a boss monster would have a hard time killing an ordinary monster of the same level.

This was similar to the Wind Maestro boss in Zephyr Canyon. If he were to fight with a level-15 Wind Elemental, of course, it could win, but it wouldn’t be as easy as killing it with one hit.

Surprisingly, the Ice Queen could kill this group of level 14 and 15 Wind Elementals with just one move.

It was a pity that the summoned beast didn’t have a Personal Stat interface, because he would love to see what kind of attributes she had.

There was also another thing that made him curious.

Ling Yi recalled how the Ice Queen had attacked the monsters before he had even said anything.

He couldn’t help but cross his arms to think, ‘Is it because she can read my mind, or is it something all summoned beasts could do?‘

As far as he knew, summoned beasts could act on their own according to their master’s orders. For example, if its master asked it to fight, it would fight on its own and release its skills.

If their master hadn’t said anything, they would stand there like wooden statues. But he had heard from several cases where the summoned beast would automatically attack if their masters’ life was threatened.

Since Ling Yi wasn’t entirely sure what the reason was, he decided to try again.

He turned around and looked at the incoming Wind Elementals 200 to 300 meters away from them. He decided to target just one of them.

Ling Yi turned to look at the Ice Queen.

The beautiful creature was still floating in the air about a meter away from him. When she saw him looking over, she also turned her head to look at him.

Her face was expressionless, like a doll.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time before Ling Yi turned around again.

‘Looks like it’s really due to the protective mechanism…‘

A summoned beast would never disobey its master’s thoughts.

If his summoned beast had heard his inner thoughts, she would have definitely done something in response.

And yet, she remained where she was despite him ‘thinking’ for her to attack.

Then he suddenly noticed the Ice Queen cast her gaze on the Wind Elemental that he had just identified as his target.

As her eyes turned slightly blue, the Wind Elemental in the distance also turned into light spots and dissipated.

[You’ve killed Wind Elemental (level 13), experience +1]

The sudden message stunned Ling Yi.

He reflexively looked into the distance, only to find the target had disappeared.

Seeing this, he instantly understood.

Just as he thought, the Ice Queen could hear his inner voice!

As for why she didn’t make any immediate move, Ling Yi didn’t understand and didn’t want to get to the bottom of it.

Now, he was going to start farming experience!

…

“Hey, hey, hey, is there any movement coming from inside?”

On the first checkpoint of the main road, the Gale Prairie, more than 2 000 players were fighting against the monster, the Vine Tree Spirit.

The grassland Wolf Camp was the front checkpoint of the main road, and the Wolf King was the gatekeeper.

After defeating the Wolf King, they would be able to enter the first checkpoint of the main road, the Gale Prairie.

As early as the next day, some players began to eliminate the monsters on the edge of Gale Prairie.

On the third day, there were even more players.

The monsters here were generally between levels 5 to 10. Even the Boss of this level, the Strange Vine Tree, was only level 10.

Although the monsters’ levels were generally higher than the players’, the players had 100 times more stamina. And the fact that they still had no penalty for dying yet, all of them were confident and fought fiercely against their enemies.

Plus, the monsters on the main road would not respawn after they died.

Slowly, the number of monsters dwindled, and soon enough, the players’ outnumbered them.

Which was why, even amid battle they were relaxed, and still have time to chat
