Finding Star Horse Lake was purely a matter of luck. I sighed inwardly, stowed away the map of Dongfang Xing, summoned Dark Undead Golden Eagle King, drew out the Skeletal Blade, and charged into a herd of level 30 wild horses.
Continuing to wander around, I hoped for a stroke of luck to enter Star Horse Lake, find a good wild horse among the level 30 herd, or locate their horse king. I couldn't return empty-handed from this horse-catching trip, and the experience gained from killing level 30 wild horses was not bad. Besides, I could level up while slaying monsters.
Facing the trash-level 30 wild horses, I vented all my frustration from Yafeng Horse with my rapid attack speed, intense critical hits, and extraordinary defense, making it no surprise that the level 30 wild horses became my experience.
Although my pet Dark Undead Golden Eagle King was facing a level 45 Yafeng horse, the level gap was too significant to deal significant damage. But when faced with level 30 wild horses, Dark Undead Golden Eagle King's area-of-effect attack played a huge role.
Dark Undead Golden Eagle King flapped its wings and flew above the herd of wild horses, and a storm erupted, emitting a series of "woowoos" like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, causing the herd of wild horses to die like rotten wood.
Looking at Dark Undead Golden Eagle King's abnormal abilities, I was sure that if it leveled up to level 30, eliminating the level difference, it would have no problem dealing with that herd of Yafeng Horse. It was indeed a level nine pet, and its ability made me envious.
"Ding! Congratulations, Stone City, your pet Dark Undead Golden Eagle King has leveled up, and it is now level 20. Its health has increased by 100, its mana has increased by 100, its attack has increased by 80, and its defense has increased by 80."
"Ding! Congratulations, Stone City, your pet Dark Undead Golden Eagle King has learned the skill Dark Thunder Flash at level 20 and the skill Storm Absorption."
Dark Thunder Flash: An active single-target attack that summons a dark thunderbolt from the sky to strike the opponent, dealing 150 dark damage and 150 lightning damage, with a 20% paralysis effect and a 20% blind effect.
Storm Absorption: A passive primary skill that absorbs 20% wind-based attacks.
Leveling up by killing monsters is the fastest way to gain experience. In just over five hours, my Dark Undead Golden Eagle King had leveled up to level 20 with my diligent monster-killing, learned two skills, and had greatly improved abilities. Especially when Dark Undead Golden Eagle King reached level 20, a black light enveloped it, and its body suddenly grew larger.
The Dark Undead Golden Eagle King of level twenty leisurely flapped its black wings and danced in the sky. With a body size comparable to that of half a cow and wingspan of over two meters, it displayed an even more majestic and domineering demeanor, gradually revealing its dark King of Glory style.
I was secretly delighted, not only because my Dark Undead Golden Eagle King had become stronger and more formidable, but also because of its enormous size now. According to its growth rate, there would be no problem for me to ride my Dark Undead Golden Eagle King at level forty.
Joyful!
Observing the awe-inspiring growth of my Dark Undead Golden Eagle King, I naturally felt ecstatic. However, looking at my experience, I was quite depressed as I had only gained a meager 10% experience after five hours of hard work, including slaying monsters beyond my level.
Every ten levels mark a significant milestone, where one jumps from level nine to level ten, nineteen to twenty, twenty-nine to thirty, and so on. It requires a lot of experience, and although this had also been the case for the previous two milestones, the amount of experience needed had been relatively small, making it feel insignificant. However, with my higher level now, the difference is truly noticeable and significant.
Alas! It is not easy to reach level thirty, but what else can I do but to work harder and strive more?
It is already midnight now, and I quit the game. Li Tong and little sister have classes during the day and have already gone to bed. I took a shower and sneaked quietly into bed, stretching out my hands to embrace my precious Li Tong by the waist, holding her gently in my arms.
"Feng, are you going to sleep?"
Although I tried my best to make my movements gentle, I still startled Li Tong.
Li Tong, with her sleepy and blurry eyes, saw me holding her in my arms. A familiar masculine scent entered her breath, causing her to approach my face, getting even closer to my breath and letting it surround her.
Li Tong could not help but adjust her gracefully curved body to get closer to my broad chest, feeling my strength and skin. She stretched out her hands and hugged my neck, bringing us even closer together.
"Ah, my dear, sleep now."
Looking at Li Tong's beauty, like that of a celestial being, and her pure and angelic aura, my heart was filled with love, pride, and possessiveness. But despite the difficulty, I managed to resist my desire. I didn't want to disturb her as she slept, so I kissed her snow-white face and savored her wonderful body and her enchanting scent, feeling an indescribable pleasure.
"Mm."
Li Tong kissed me back on my lips groggily, gave me a fragrant kiss, and snuggled up against me, feeling all the breaths of her beloved man, then drifted off to dreamland.
I couldn't help but hold Li Tong even closer, with my hands around her willowy waist, our legs intertwined, a feeling of unspeakable sensuality gradually enveloping us as we drifted into sweet dreams.
The next morning, Li Tong and I woke up, inevitably engaging in a bout of sweet talk, playful teasing, and kissing. I took the opportunity to steal some intimate moments and enjoyed unlimited pleasure until little sister pushed open the door and reminded Li Tong that it was time to go to school. Only then did Li Tong slip out of my embrace.
"You naughty big brother."
Little sister knew very well that I had kept Li Tong from getting up, and she gave me an angry look. I could only force a smile and not dare to argue back. If I did, I knew little sister would jump on me, trample me, and pinch my ear to make me apologize. After all, Li Tong was still in the room, and we couldn't mess around.
This little witch was growing up and maturing, no longer the little girl she used to be. Her gaze and demeanor had an impact on me. Every time we did our old intimate actions, I couldn't help but feel a surge of desire.
After having breakfast with Li Tong and little sister, I went for a half-hour morning run and returned home to continue playing games. I summoned my Dark Undead Golden Eagle King and continued to easily slaughter wild horses and level up with difficulty.
After killing for a while, I suddenly heard a high-pitched neighing sound on the Altar Plain in the early morning. The huge sound made the level thirty wild horse herd active, jumping fiercely. When the huge neighing sound ended, groups of wild horses followed by a group of neighing sounds spread far and wide in the open wild horse plain.
Something's up. I followed the first loud neighing sound and saw a red high-headed horse standing among a group of wild horses, leisurely and proud, majestic yet elegant. Its red coat was exceptionally shiny, emitting a faint red light, making it particularly dazzling among the dozens of wild horses in front.
"Is it the leader or the king of the wild horses?"
I secretly speculated in my heart and slowly moved toward this proud and red high-headed horse, which seemed to emit a red light.
