“Idiot!”

The old man glared at Dark Cyclone who approached him and offered to help as he scolded, “The thing that even a Demigod-tier champion like me couldn’t do, how could you, this bunch of kiddos, do it? Do you think this old man has lost his marbles? Ah! Do you really think that I am getting the fish for barbeque? In this wilderness? You idiots! ”

Although the NPC of the same faction would never attack players from his own faction, his sudden rebuke was frightening. Dark Cyclone flushed in embarrassment as he stepped away from the old man.

He was a grown-up man, yet shy like a young maiden. His gaze swept passed everyone dejectedly and finally laid his eyes on Qin Ruo’s face, exclaiming, “Captain... It seems like I have ruined it.”

Unsurprised, Qin Ruo had never thought of getting any hidden quest from the very beginning. Even if they got it, they could never complete it.

As he was about to give Dark Cyclone a few words of comfort, the old man added,

“Idiot! These are no ordinary fish. These are Deathfiend Demonfish! Deathfiend Demonfish! Even God-tier champions could hardly get them, what more low-level adventurers ¹ . Are you making fun of this old man? A group low-level adventurers? You guys are so daring! Even offering to help! You guys piss me off!”

“Eh?”

Qin Ruo was stunned by the old man’s words.

‘Deathfiend Demonfish?

‘Even the God-tier Champion could not handle them?

‘Could it be...’

Was this truly a hidden quest? Dark Cyclone did make it, just that the message was conveyed in such a rude manner!

Burning with curiosity, Qin Ruo fixed his gaze at a dozen Deathfiend Demonfish swimming freely in the lake, his brows furrowed.

‘For real? The God-tier champion was truly incapable of handling these small fish? These small creatures do not seem to be powerful enough to resist the strength of a God-tier champion.’

‘Or is the gist of this hidden quest to get this old man a Deathfiend Demonfish, then get the subsequent quest? That’s easy.’

Qin Ruo looked at the old man who was still screaming, red with anger. His gaze then swept past dozens of wandering Deathfiend Demonfish at the lakeside...

“Cyclone, sit down and take a rest.”

“Ah?”

Not understand his words, the Dark Cyclone instinctively nodded as he looked at Qin Ruo in bewilderment. The other four laid their eyes at Qin Wei, lost in wonder.

The next moment, a blue ray emitted from Dark Cyclone—quickly turning translucent then pierced Qin Ruo’s body.

Knowing that he had just lost a large portion of MP, Dark Cyclone flew into a great panic. His eyes were wide open, blinking in surprise. Sitting silently on the ground, his gaze fell on Qin Ruo as if looking at the face of god. He finally realized Qin Ruo’s motive.

It was Mana Drain. This Captain actually possessed plenty of skills. He could even drain MP from another player.

He was extremely terrifying!

If the Mana Drain was targeted at the enemy, even MP Potion was not capable of replenishing the lost MP.

Just as the Dark Cyclone sat down on the ground, Qin Ruo instructed the other four people to form a defensive barrier to guard Dark Cyclone. He was then retreated ten meters away, looking at the Deathfiend Demonfish attentively.

‘Eh?’

To his surprise, Qin Ruo had quickly realized the Water Element in the simple and still lake was completely beyond his control. He had even felt that the water in the lake was not real...

Gosh! He got fooled!

Thirty meters away, the old man stopped screaming and fixed his gaze at Qin Ruo. He seemed to have watched the whole affair. His eyes were filled with disdain as a strange smile appeared on his face.

‘How annoying!’ Qin Ruo cursed inwardly—not only were all his efforts fruitless but he had also made a fool of himself. Being laughed at by the NPC, his pride was gone, which made him furious.

He tried over and over again but all ended up in vain. Qin Ruo finally concluded that this lake was no common lake. There must be some anomaly in this small lake—something that was unknown to others. It happened twice that he infused the Water Element that was drained from the air into the lake. But as soon as the Water Element reached the lake, he lost control of it...It was impossible for an Aquamancer to get a Deathfiend Demonfish with Elementalism.

Yet, Qin Ruo did not give up. He had always been a person who embraced challenges! Be it in the Aricus Underground Ruins, the Advancement Quest, or entering the Graveyard of the Gods while red tagged.

Disregarding the mocking gaze of the old man, Qin Ruo continued his efforts in getting the Deathfiend Demonfish from this small mysterious lake with various different approaches...

However, time after time again, all efforts were in vain.

He had no clue why the Frostlance had suddenly lost its precision, incapable of dealing with these small little fish. Every time it penetrated the water, the Frostlance would deviate from the target and vanish without a trace...

Not just the Frostlance, even the Frost Arrow, Frost Bullet and Compressed Frost Bullet were of the same fate, losing all attack power and strong freezing attributes. Safe and sound, the Deathfiend Demonfish in the lake were not the least bit disturbed and paid no heed to the attack as if it had never existed, swimming around carefree.

The six of them were terribly upset!

Seeing that old man’s gaze was increasing in mockery and contempt, the waves of fury burned in his heart.

“F*ck!

“I just don’t believe that I can’t handle this!”

In a hurry, Qin Ruo drained 50 MP from another player in his party. He was then took two quick steps forward and formed Aquaramparts. Two Aquaramparts were cast each second.

Seeing Qin Ruo’s fiery spirit, the eyes of Dark Cyclone and the rest lit up with excitement. They recalled the battle with the Vampire Leech in the Graveyard of the Gods! The dreadful and terrible frost spirit had nearly frozen the entire cave...

“Ah ha! Captain is playing his trump card!”

The five people were excited...

Even the old man who had always been disdainful was blown away by his movements as he looked attentively at Qin Ruo. The eyes of the old man sparkled with anticipation and at the same time felt doubtful.

Qin Ruo could naturally feel the change in the old man’s eyes. He silently cast the last few Aquaramparts as he pushed all the Aquaramparts in the air, right above the lake. Floating in the air, twelve Aquaramparts arranged in the eight trigrams array, stood neatly before their eyes.

“Frost!”

Just as the word was uttered, the old man’s face suddenly changed.

Magical fluctuation! It was a strong magical fluctuation!

Boom! A loud bang was sounded. It was so ear piercing, as if it was a cry from their own hearts. An icy cold sensation emanated from the twelve Frostramparts and flooded toward them.

A frigid air swept across—the twelve Frostramparts were so grand and majestic and its overwhelming loftiness had once again shaken Dark Cyclone and the rest.

The next moment, Qin Ruo’s face paled in an instant.

“How, how could it be...”

Qin Ruo widened his eyes in astonishment and fixed his gaze at the twelve Frostramparts. These twelve Frostramparts were capable of freezing two small lakes in an instant. Yet, this small lake before them was incredibly calm as water flowed freely as it did earlier. What’s more, the Deathfiend Demonfish were still moving leisurely through the water, swishing their tails from side to side, paying no heed to the twelve Frostramparts afloat and the dejected Qin Ruo who was ghastly pale.

The whole incident was a cruel joke and particularly painful to Qin Ruo. He removed the twelve Frostramparts as he heard a calm voice from the old man,

“Hey kiddos, now you trust me, don’t you? These Deathfiend Demonfish—the”Reaper’s pet” that are supposedly capable of killing God-tier champions. They are not common monsters, same goes with their habitat. Rumour has it that the place that they inhabited was a sanctuary preserved by the Reaper. No magic is capable of penetrating the lake and do them any harm!”

“A sanctuary preserved by the Reaper?!” Qin Ruo turned his face and looked at the old man, feeling relieved.

“Yes, because of the Reaper’s sanctuary and strong combat ability of the Deathfiend Demonfish, this lake is generally regarded as the “Living God’s Tomb”. Disregarding Qin Ruo and party’s stunned reaction, the old man continued in a calm voice, “Well, you won’t get what I am saying. Let me tell you something that you are eager to know. If you get the Deathfiend Demonfish, there is a chance of getting Divinity out of them!”

“Otherwise, I, this old man would not be bothered to get the Deathfiend Demonfish the common way. Hmph, I knew it...these brats would not be interested any ordinary roast...”
