Chapter 16: Into the Land of Dead Silence! Woohoo—let’s fly!

To be honest, Lin Yi also noticed that this girl’s enthusiasm was somewhat beyond the ordinary. Having lived two lives, Lin Yi remained very cautious and did not easily disclose the details of his mission. He simply said calmly, “No need.” Then, Lin Yi left the job transfer hall.

The bespectacled girl sighed a little. Sigh, such a handsome guy, yet he seems to have such a cold personality.

...

Lin Yi exited the Job Transfer Sanctuary and headed straight to the reference library of the Jiang City Adventurer’s Guild.

Using the spirit crystal in the library, Lin Yi quickly found relevant information about the boss.

“The southern suburbs of Azure City experienced a terrible plague over a hundred years ago. Thousands died, and afterward, the area became a forbidden zone ravaged by viruses and plagues.”

“A large number of infected and undead creatures wander that area, where no living human presence can be sensed, thus it is known as the Deathly Silence.”

“Raven Dale, the Death Knight, is rumored to have once been the leader of knights dispatched by an empire to rescue disaster victims, but for unknown reasons, he later fell and became a death knight.”

“Every time after the plague acid rain falls, Raven Dale awakens from his grave, riding his skeletal warhorse, endlessly roaming the core of the Deathly Silence.”

Reading this, Lin Yi learned some basic information about the boss. The boss level matched the mission description: level 60. Its spawn point was in the Deathly Silence leveling area in the southern suburbs of Azure City.

Lin Yi typed “Deathly Silence” into the spirit crystal screen. Soon the results appeared. The location was indeed in the southern suburbs of Azure City, with monster levels ranging from 40 to 50, suitable for second-tier adventurers to train.

What about the respawn time?

All world bosses have fixed respawn patterns. Fortunately, Azure City was not far from Jiang City, allowing Lin Yi to retrieve the last kill record of the Death Knight.

“World Boss: Death Knight Raven Dale.”

“Respawn Time: 30 days.”

“Last Kill Record: March 15, 3024, 09:00.”

Lin Yi checked the current time and his expression changed.

Damn!

The last kill was exactly one month ago at this time.

That means... it should have respawned now!

Such world bosses are often besieged by countless adventurers and are the prized possessions of many major guilds. More often than not, those guilds camp at the boss location and kill it immediately upon respawn.

If he missed this, he would have to wait another whole month!

Damn it!

Lin Yi definitely didn’t want to be stuck on a simple task for an entire month without leveling up!

The next moment, Lin Yi hurried out of the reference library and rushed toward Jiang City’s teleportation hall.

In this era, common people had only two modes of transportation.

One was the high-speed underground rail transit that connected various base cities in Great Xia through tunnels. The underground was mostly free of monsters and fierce beasts. Moreover, traveling underground avoided many monster-dense areas, ensuring safety.

For this reason, airborne transportation was extremely rare in Great Xia, and when it did exist, it was mostly military carriers or warships.

Finally, the most convenient and fastest method was the teleportation array.

Thanks to the combined power of spirit crystal technology and magic, short-distance spatial teleportation had long been popularized for civilian use.

Even though Jiang City and neighboring Azure City were separated by thousands of kilometers, teleportation took only a few minutes.

Lin Yi took out his phone, purchased a teleport ticket to Azure City online, passed security, and headed straight to the teleportation hall.

Just like catching a train in his previous life, the number of people entering the teleport array was limited each wave, and everyone entered by swiping tickets in a frenzy.

Lin Yi joined a crowd standing inside the array. Then, magical runes lit up. The center of the teleport array emitted a suction force.

The next moment, Lin Yi felt the world spin wildly, as if he was being sucked into a time-space tunnel. The scenery around him stretched and distorted into strange shapes, rushing past at incredible speed.

This experience was quite novel. Lin Yi’s balance was excellent; despite the intensity, it was thrilling with no discomfort.

However, the other passengers were different.

By the time Lin Yi arrived at Azure City’s teleportation hall, most of the people who came with him were vomiting uncontrollably.

For a moment, the entire hall’s smell was indescribably unpleasant.

Lin Yi quickly walked away, deciding never to buy a regular ticket again. At least buy a higher-class ticket; not only would the teleport experience improve, but there would also be fewer people, so he wouldn’t have to squeeze with the crowd.

Stepping out of Azure City’s teleportation hall, Lin Yi immediately sensed that as a fourth-tier base city, Azure City was more prosperous than Jiang City in many respects.

But Lin Yi had no time to pay attention to this. He firmly remembered the location of the Deathly Silence that the bespectacled girl had mentioned earlier: the southern suburbs of Azure City!

Gale Wings was a fifth-rank wind spell, and wind spells generally had very short casting times.

But under the blessing of Divine Grace Chanting, all fifth-rank spells were instant casts for Lin Yi.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi instantly cast Gale Wings.

The next moment, a strong gust suddenly swept across the teleport hall’s entrance.

Countless pedestrians gasped in surprise.

Then, faint green wind clusters swirled around Lin Yi, making his entire form blur into a shadowy gust.

Others could only make out a vague silhouette.

The numerous guards stationed at the teleport hall and Azure City’s Job Transfer Sanctuary all raised their weapons.

Some even shouted loudly.

Only then did Lin Yi realize he might have made a mistake.

In all the base cities of Great Xia, using skills or magic was banned outside leveling zones; fighting or brawling would get one arrested.

Fortunately, this skill could conceal his identity.

But to complete the mission before the death knight died again, Lin Yi couldn’t care about that.

The next moment, a pair of wind wings appeared behind him.

With a thought, Lin Yi felt his weight vanish almost entirely, wrapped by the wind element.

He broke free from gravity’s shackles.

Wild winds rose as he soared into the clouds!

Flying by oneself and flying via transportation were entirely different experiences.

The thrill was genuine and exhilarating!

Especially the feeling of soaring at breakneck speed through the open sky without obstacles—Lin Yi was instantly elated.

He kept accelerating, pushing his speed to the limit.

In an instant, he became a streak of emerald light, heading straight for the southern suburbs of Azure City!

“Mom! Look, someone’s flying!”

Among the bustling crowds below, countless children pointed at the swift figure in the sky, clapping their hands in excitement.

Wherever Lin Yi passed, he drew astonished and envious gazes.

Those Azure City security enforcers who had just intended to arrest him were all stunned.

Damn!

A sixth-tier powerhouse!

They had just tried to cause trouble for a sixth-tier expert!

Great Xia’s Public Security Management Law forbids adventurers from flying or using skills within base cities.

Yet for a true powerhouse, even if they did so, these small-time security officers dared not say a word!
