Chapter 152

Changed into the Guardian's Robe, Xiao Feng set off toward the east of the city with his mount, the Angry Thunder God Eagle chick.

The Angry Thunder God Eagle could fly as soon as it hatched, flapping its wings up and down, rising and falling, its flight not very skilled, looking somewhat comical.

However, its speed was not slow; it easily kept up with Xiao Feng.

Leaving Xiao Zhai, Xiao Feng increased his speed, the little eagle flew just over three meters above his head, closely following.

The mount's upgrade method is unrelated to combat; no matter what monsters he kills, it's useless—only by following the owner around can it gain experience.

For every kilometer traveled, it gains one point of experience; upon reaching a new map, it receives some extra experience rewards.

Therefore, to level up quickly, the best way is to keep running with the mount to unexplored places.

Leveling from 1 to 2 requires only 5 experience points.

When Xiao Feng arrived at the east of the city, the system refreshed a message prompt.

"Your mount 'Unnamed' and you arriving at War City East have earned 20 extra experience points."

Then, with a "whoosh," the eagle chick directly leveled up to level 3.

After leveling up, its size grew slightly, and its flight posture became more stable.

However, carrying a person in flight still needs some time.

"Old Xiao, you finally... holy shit, 160,000 HP???" Li Li greeted him, then seeing Xiao Feng's HP, he was stunned.

Xiao Feng said: "After completing the myth storyline, I was given a super god outfit; its resistance to true damage increased a bit."

By the way, I distributed the Guardian's Robe among the party.

Everyone looked, unable to help but drool with envy.

Xing Yun Miao saw that the Guardian's Robe had a passive effect identical to her weapon, and she laughed: "If this outfit were given to me, I'd gain 2000 HP upon leveling up once, and at level 200 I'd be a boss."

"You're not far off from a boss yourself; the two of you aren't normal people..." Zhang Fan said gloomily.

"Hey! Senior Xiao Feng, is that big bird beside you the one you brought? How... ah!" Dun Dun spotted the mount chick flying above Xiao Feng's head and asked.

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the chick's name【Unnamed (Xiao Feng's mount)】and her eyes widened in surprise.

Others hearing this also took a look, then were astonished.

"Awesome, Old Xiao, you've got a mount! But this guy... are you sure you're riding him and not him riding you?" Li Li exclaimed.

Xiao Feng chuckled: "It's still small; just let it grow a bit more."

The Angry Thunder God Eagle counts as adult at level 150; below level 30 it's juvenile and cannot be ridden.

From level 31 onward, it can be ridden for flight, but its speed cannot yet be fully displayed, and its skills remain unawakened.

Only after reaching the sub‑adult stage at level 100 or above can it display most of its abilities.

Judging by how mount experience is obtained, growing up probably requires running in the game for two or three months.

However, level 31 is relatively easy; it should be reachable within two days.

"It still has no name; would you guys like to help pick one?" Xiao Feng asked with a smile.

The five formed a party, Dun Dun leading the way as they ran out of the city.

While running the map, everyone discussed the little eagle's name.

Li Li said: "Look at how cute‑ugly it is; otherwise we could just call it Ugly Ugly."

The little eagle circling above their heads flapped its wings a few times, showing strong resistance.

"Or we could call it Cute Cute!" Dun Dun suggested.

Zhang Fan glanced at the divine eagle chick on his head and asked: "Old Xiao, your mount is an Angry Thunder God Eagle—didn't you get it from the Boss #3 in the Lost Land?"

"Exactly, there was an Exotic Beast Egg in the Boss #3's nest; I snatched it after defeating him. The egg wasn't put in the team pack, so I didn't mention it." Xiao Feng replied frankly.

"It'll surely be powerful when grown; how about we call it Little Li?" Zhang Fan joked.

"Get lost! I think Little Fan would be better!" Li Li kicked him angrily.

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed and joked.

After a while, Xing Yun Miao said: "Xiao Feng, you're not a classical literature major, are you? You must be a cultured person—pick a name yourself."

Xiao Feng's face stiffened.

Earlier, at the Moon God Temple, Li Li had casually mentioned his real‑life info, never expecting her to remember it.

He immediately felt embarrassed: "I'm just a slacker; my professional knowledge is terrible, I haven't read a single book. Why don't you give it a name?"

Xing Yun Miao quickly shook her head: "I'm just an accountant..."

"No worries, just throw out a name for reference." Xiao Feng said.

Xing Yun Miao thought for a moment and proposed: "Angry Thunder God Eagle—take off the head and tail, call it Thunder God?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Feng thought, "Good grief, that's directly challenging the Main God!"

"Thunder God" is the abbreviation of the Thunder God Main God among the 24 Main Gods, just like the Fire God—incredibly awesome.

Giving a mount the name of a Main God? Surely that would get you killed.

But Xiao Feng reconsidered: he's so awesome that taking on a Main God in the future would be no problem, so there's nothing to fear.

So he smiled happily and declared: "I think it's fine—let's call it Thunder God!"

He changed the mount chick's name.

The system popped up: "Mount name change successful, reward 100 mount experience points!"

Then a flash of light swept over, and the mount "Thunder God" grew a size larger, leveling up to level 6.

Xiao Feng felt secretly pleased.

After a while of running, they soon reached an abandoned graveyard on the outskirts of the city.

Dun Dun said: "The quest guide directs me here to look for a hidden demon general; there should be a dungeon around."

No kidding, such a big entrance is placed there. Zhang Fan pointed ahead.

In the chaotic graves area, a hole over 3 meters wide appeared not far away, emitting a faint dark aura; no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like a good place.

Dun Dun stepped forward, took a look, and happily exclaimed, "It's really here! Three senior brothers, Meow Sister, I've opened the dungeon!"

"Mm, go ahead!"

Everyone had already prepared.

Dun Dun raised her oversized shield and leapt into the black hole.

In the next moment, Xiao Feng and the others received a prompt: "Captain, one shield strike kills you—you have opened the instance 【Abyssal Demon Cave】; would you like to follow in?"

Everyone confirmed.

Then their vision went dark, and they also entered the instance.

"Ding~ You have discovered the 105‑level main storyline instance 【Abyssal Demon Cave】."

"Prompt: Before the main storyline instance is successfully cleared, it remains in a sealed state; unless the whole party wipes or clears it, you cannot exit."

At the moment of entering, everyone heard the prompt.

Immediately after, there was great joy!

"Who would have thought it's a main storyline instance; this wave of rewards should not be too bad!" Li Li said.

Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Isn't the war zone announcement coming right up?"

Whenever any main storyline instance, regardless of level, is successfully cleared, a war zone announcement will sound.

Previously, Xiao Feng had cleared the 75‑level main storyline instance Silver Mine Cave; afterward, the 85‑level instance was cleared by members of the Prosperous World guild, and the 95‑level instance was cleared solo by Sword Slaying the Heavens.

This 105‑level instance is currently the highest‑level main storyline instance known.

However, to Xiao Feng, it posed no difficulty at all.

"Let's go, grab some XP!" Xiao Feng waved his hand and took the lead.
