Chapter 1838: Underwater Entrance

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

A self-proclaimed master?

When did this happen? He quickly thought about it and came to the conclusion that it was because of the bound artefact. The explanation was simple if that was true.

If this was the case, then the NPC must have recognised the bound item.

Otherwise, Lu Li had still yet to figure it out!

“My Raven Transformation is too weak. I want to know how I can improve it,” Lu Li asked.

“That is very simple. You just need to observe more ravens and understand their nature, and you should be able to improve that way. Once you have a proper grasp of their nature, you will have to train in your understanding. The people I know have all improved this way,” Ikuti answered.

“Observe ravens…” Lu Li was dumbfounded.

The NPC had to be messing with him. If a person watched ravens all day, would they acquire the ability to transform into one? Besides, ravens usually didn’t have the ability to control lightning.”

“Of course, there is a simpler way. I can help you understand like a Druid would, but I need you to do something for me first,” Ikuti replied.

The System prompted Lu Li to receive a quest – Book of the Raven.

He accepted the quest without hesitation, but when he saw the content of the quest, he knew that he couldn’t complete the quest on his own.

He needed to expel a particular race from an area, something pretty much impossible. Even with Ruling Sword, there was no hope. If he got the three-party alliance together, they might be able to achieve it, but it would cost a lot of money. Regardless of whether it was Azeroth or Draenor, the Ogres were a powerful race. The clan known as Ango’rosh had migrated from another place to Zangarmarsh. When they came to Zangarmarsh, they began cutting down the mushroom forest. Ikuti thought that these Ogres were a huge threat and wanted to eliminate them before they reached their ruins.

According to the information Ikuti possessed, there are about 3000 of these Ogres.

The three thousand strong Ogre army might not seem like much, but there were no regular monsters or even elites among the Ogres of Zangarmarsh. They were all at least quasi-Bosses or stronger. Moreover, these Ogres could respawn, so they needed to kill many of them at once to force them to leave.

But the quest had already been received. With Lu Li’s Charisma values, there was no possibility of bargaining the quest’s terms anyway.

If Lu Li wanted to level up his Raven Transformation, he had to complete the quest. He also couldn’t complete this quest in a short time, so Lu Li had no choice but to complete other quests in the meantime. He decided to visit the Zangarmarsh to open any Treasure Chests there.

Opening Treasure Chests was still an exciting thing. The Zangarmarsh used to be an often visited Draenei Temple, so the Treasure Chests there were especially rich as the big explosions in Draenor caused many treasures to sink to the bottom of the swamp.

Lu Li felt quite helpless as he visited the swamp, but at least the depths of the swamp didn’t scare him.

There were many monsters in the depths and most of them were snakes that looked terrifying. But Lu Li wasn’t scared of them. If he faced a snake in real life, whether it was white or green, he would use it to cook up a nutritious meal for his sister.

The only pity was that there were very few good items left. This place was no longer a newly released map, so most of the treasure chests had already been opened before. There were now very few people getting rich overnight from this place. Instead, you would often get a bunch of rubbish materials and maybe some gems. Very occasionally, you might get an equipment that isn’t Common grade. If one received a Dark Gold equipment here, they would be overjoyed at their unexpected success.

Lu Li wasn’t actually looking for anything here. He just wanted to level up his Unlock skill and gain some EXP. When a player unlocked a Treasure Chest for the first time, they would gain quite a bit of EXP. It was more than what they would receive for killing an elite monster.

So, he spent about two days doing that, and when his EXP suddenly soared to level 64, the Zangarmarsh was suddenly filled with other players.

The players weren’t there to see the sights. Everyone was busy doing quests and looking for the Instance Dungeon.

Lu Li was no exception. Since his friends were coming, they would be able to complete the Colifang Reservoir quest. Everyone was also trying to pick up as many quests as possible. Besides, Lu Li had said that no one could find the Instance Dungeon entrance yet, so there was no hurry.

The Colifang Reservoir was quite difficult to find, as they have not yet been exposed to an Instance Dungeon where the entire entrance was submerged in deep water.

In order to prevent the Instance Dungeon location from being exposed, Lu Li only took two people.

One of them was Water Fairy and the other was Carnivorous Cat.

The reason why he didn’t bring Sesame Rice Ball was because there were many people watching him. He was Ruling Sword’s transporter – by knowing where he was, they could know where Ruling Sword was doing a First Clear. But in fact, most Warlocks now had the Summoning Portal.

The surrounding area was also filled with monsters, and Sesame Rice Ball was not as good as Carnivorous Cat in fighting them off.

Both Lu Li and Water Fairy were invisible, so it seemed like Carnivorous Cat was alone.

She was a beautiful girl who was all alone. When in game, that practically meant that she had a sign on her facing telling people to approach her.

Those that were polite were directly refused and those that were rude were killed.

With Carnivorous Cat’s strength, even a five-person squad could barely fight her. Many players saw her innocent and beautiful face and would often forget that she killed two gaming veterans on her own.

Lu Li and Water Fairy didn’t need to do anything, and just scouted ahead to help her avoid some dangers.

Then, as Carnivorous Cat went further and further, she disappeared into the wide lake. Lu Li gave them both an Underwater Breathing Potion and dove under the water.

Lu Li’s Seal Transformation was no longer as important as before as everyone had Underwater Breathing Potions now.

Many people liked to fight monsters underwater because they wouldn’t have to compete with other players to fight them. All they needed to do was buy some of the potions or the materials, which weren’t too expensive. Most apothecarists were capable of making this potion as well.

Lu Li took them all the way while avoiding any obstacles before finally entering a place similar to an underground cave. The centre of the cave was a small pool and the rest was land. There was a huge waterfall hanging over a rock. Here, there was the 25-man Serpentshrine Cavern Instance Dungeon.
