Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Moreover, she knew that no matter how many times she killed those players, it wouldn't cause any real problems to their bodies. So she could just go all out and kill those scumbags until they kept dropping in level, down to level 1!

Ye Qingxian had always thought she didn't like meddling in other people's business, but after hearing about Robert and the others' experiences, she was about to change her opinion of herself.

If it were Esther, she probably wouldn't care and would coldly say that the strong survive and the weak are eliminated, but it's different when it comes to Ye Qingxian.

Those players only know how to bully the weak. If they're so capable, why don't they challenge my Estya?

“Come on, take me to your village. If it’s true, I’ll teach them a lesson for you.”

"Really?

"Believe me, and I want to vindicate the adventurers from other worlds; there are good people among them."

After hearing Ye Qingxian's words, the atmosphere eased up somewhat, and Robert's opinion of Ye Qingxian changed. He showed a smile that was hard to read, as if he was both relieved and touched.

The reason why Binghu Village was built next to Binghu Lake is that when the lake freezes in winter, people can cross the lake to travel to distant cities.

The frozen lake is quite large, stretching as far as the eye can see, and the thick ice layer is still very difficult to break even with explosives.

If you don't go across the frozen lake and instead walk on the snow-covered plains, you will not only lose your way, but you will also encounter dangerous monsters.

Led by Robert and others, Ye Qingxian arrived at Ice Lake Village. It was clear that the village's architecture was not very good; the houses were basically built around the village center, and some of them were dilapidated.

“Miss Ye Qingxian, welcome to Ice Lake Village. I am the village chief.” Robert smiled at Ye Qingxian, but then said solemnly, “I hope you will not let me down.”

"rest assured."

Ye Qingxian nodded to Robert and then walked into the village.

The villagers of Ice Lake Village were indeed as warm and hospitable as Robert had said. Many of them offered Ye Qingxian delicious food, since it had been a long time since a "normal person" had visited the village.

Surrounded by the enthusiastic crowd, Ye Qingxian quietly instructed Robert, "Uncle Village Chief, don't tell them I'm an adventurer from another world. Only reveal my identity after I've helped you."

Robert nodded.

He cleared his throat and announced to everyone, "This young lady is our most honored guest! Not only because she is willing to visit our village, but also because she is willing to help us drive away those demons!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers were in an uproar. Their expressions varied, some were moved to tears, some were deeply skeptical, and most looked at Ye Qingxian with surprise.

Because they didn't believe that Ye Qingxian, a little girl who didn't seem very mature, could drive away so many demons.

Ye Qingxian knew that she needed to prove her abilities and gain the villagers' trust.

So she suggested to Robert, "Uncle, how about you have everyone follow me to watch me hunt powerful monsters?"

"Hmm?" Robert thought for a moment. "There are indeed very powerful monsters nearby. We've identified them as S-rank monsters, but I'm afraid..."

"Just take me there!"

Ye Qingxian is very confident now. She has divine equipment and super high attributes as a Star Crystal Dragon Knight.

The biggest reason why Ye Qingxian could rest easy was because she had a divine skill—she could summon dragon companions to fight alongside her for 10 minutes.

Ye Qingxian has never used this skill outside of the Calamity Star dungeon, but the skill is always lit up, meaning it can be used normally.

In times of crisis, this is the last resort. Is there any enemy on the continent of Faya that Estella cannot defeat? Absolutely not!

Speaking of summoning companions, Ye Qingxian suddenly remembered what Estya had said before, about wanting to become a demigod.

The relevant mission objective was to gain the favor of half of the living beings, so Ye Qingxian suddenly had an idea.

This time she can help the villagers in Esther's name, and then the villagers will develop a good impression of Esther.

Although the goodwill of one village seems insignificant compared to the whole world, she would strive for even the smallest result as long as it could help Esther.

Moreover, Ye Qingxian couldn't say for sure what she would experience in the future, such as helping an entire country in the game like Sister Ling Xue?

In short, in the future, Ye Qingxian will take the initiative to attribute the good deeds she has done to Esther.

First, I'll gain the villagers' trust by hunting monsters, and then tomorrow I'll have a good look at the "demon" they've been talking about.

Section 244, Chapter 230: The Giant Insect of the Ice Lake

Considering the elderly's mobility issues and to avoid being unable to escape in case of danger, the older villagers, led by Robert, did not come along. In the end, it was the young people from Ice Lake Village who led Ye Qingxian to fight the monster.

Although it was said to be a campaign against monsters, the young people weren't fools. They would watch Ye Qingxian's performance from a safe distance, far away from the monsters, to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The siblings, Norm and Noan, were trying to dissuade Ye Qingxian from her idea. They told her that if she wanted to prove her strength, she shouldn't use such a dangerous method, because she could easily die in the mouth of a monster.

Even knowing that Ye Qingxian was an adventurer from another world who could be resurrected after death, they didn't want to let Ye Qingxian die so easily.

"Don't worry, I'm confident in my abilities."

Ye Qingxian believed that even in the worst-case scenario, it would only mean returning to the resurrection point after death, so there was no need to worry.

S-rank monsters should be level 100 or higher. These monsters usually require many players to team up to defeat them. While Ye Qingxian was excited, she was also a little worried.

However, we'll have to wait and see what happens after we encounter the monster.

"That monster is a giant worm that lives near the frozen lake. It is over twenty meters long and countless people have died in its mouth since records began."

Norm explained the basic information about the giant worm to Ye Qingxian: "That worm deliberately covered itself in mud and water, and then froze it with cold temperatures to form a hard shell. Swords and blades cannot break through its defense; only explosives can blast it open."

"More than twenty meters..."

"If you feel you're not good enough, don't force it. No one will have a problem with you."

"Let me try, it's okay."

Ye Qingxian mentally planned her battle strategy. The opponent was a giant insect. Although it looked intimidating, it could be easily dodged because it had no hands or feet and could only launch attacks such as charging.

It's just unknown whether that giant worm can use magic.

"Look, that worm is curled up there sleeping."

Nuoan pointed to a spot on the frozen lakeshore, and Ye Qingxian also saw the terrifying giant worm.

The giant worm is visually stunning; its body length of over twenty meters, combined with its thick body, creates a strong sense of oppression.

Under the watchful eyes of the group of young people, Ye Qingxian took out a two-handed greatsword and then began to enhance it.

"Stardust Infusion (Star Crystal Dragon Knight Level 70 Skill): Infuses the weapon with the power of stardust, increasing armor penetration efficiency to 100% and turning attacks into star-attribute damage."

Although Ye Qingxian had become familiar with these skills in the training ground, this was the first time she had used them in actual combat.

The system's armor penetration ability is calculated as a simple percentage. The higher the percentage, the higher the armor penetration damage. 100% armor penetration efficiency means that the opponent's armor value is completely rendered useless.

Such an abnormal skill can only be used by hidden classes.

As for the attack damage changing to the Star attribute, Ye Qingxian still doesn't understand what the special function of the "Star attribute" is. The most common ones, such as the Fire attribute, Water attribute, and Wind attribute, are simple and easy to understand, but this Star attribute...

Never mind, as long as it doesn't affect normal harm.

Ye Qingxian used her reconnaissance skill on the giant insect; her reconnaissance skill could display very detailed information.

"Giant Ice Lake Worm (LV120): A giant worm that lives near frozen lakes. Outside of the freezing period, it feeds on fish and shrimp in the lake water, but in the cold winter, when hungry, it will attack any living creature to fill its stomach."

"Strength Assessment: S-Rank, Extremely High Danger Level, Recommended Group Size: 40-50 People"

If this giant worm were placed in a dungeon, it could be considered a mini-boss.

Ye Qingxian was full of confidence just now, but now she seems a little insecure.

But since she was already here, she had no choice but to go for it. At worst, she could just die and respawn at the respawn point. Besides, she had the ability to summon Estia.

"You just wait here for me. If anything happens to me, you all run away immediately."

"Don't worry, we're ready to escape."

Noan spoke as bluntly as ever, but at the same time, his tone was somewhat regretful, because he knew that even the strong could fall easily.

Ye Qingxian checked the durability of her equipment, then picked up her greatsword and charged forward.

Her favorite weapon used to be the bow and arrow, which she believed allowed her to kill monsters from a great distance without having to get close, thus greatly reducing the chance of being injured after being attacked.

However, she has now changed her mind. The greatsword is still the best! One slash can cut the monsters and beasts that attack her in half, simple, brutal, and quick.

Ye Qingxian is no longer afraid of those bloody scenes. She has grown up in the battle and her mental fortitude has greatly improved.

The giant ice lake worm is sleeping at this moment, but it is actually very alert and will detect any threatening presence that approaches immediately.

Ye Qingxian felt it would be a waste not to launch a surprise attack after attacking first, so she immediately activated the Star Crystal Dragon Knight's combat skill—

"Falling Star: Leap into the air, transforming into a meteor that crashes down on the enemy's head. Jump distance: 30 meters. Effective range: 100 meters."

A jump of 30 meters is already considered very high, but Ye Qingxian will not suffer any fall damage, and the 100-meter dash distance far exceeds that of ordinary players.

The villagers of Ice Lake Village watched in shock as the red light enveloped the gray-haired girl, and then her body instantly vanished from the spot, transforming into a red meteor that flew into the sky before crashing down on the giant worm.

Boom!

Centered on the point of impact, large swaths of snow scattered due to the tremors, accompanied by specks of red light, creating a scene that was surprisingly beautiful.

Ye Qingxian's opening attack left the villagers dumbfounded. They couldn't imagine that a human could jump so high, almost like flying.

-13943!

A string of damage numbers floated up on the giant ice lake worm, and then its health bar dropped slightly.

Ye Qingxian turned on the percentage display of the health bar, and the remaining health of the Ice Lake Giant Worm is currently 97%.

"Awooooo!!"

The giant insect, under attack, instantly changed its body shape, stretching out completely from its original coiled state, and opened its mouth to bite Ye Qingxian, who was already close at hand.

Ye Qingxian remained calm and met the attack with her greatsword.

Ding-dong!

The sword given to her by Estia was a divine artifact, and it was absolutely impossible for the giant insect to bite it in half. Ye Qingxian's arm was numb from the shock, but the giant insect did not harm her. Instead, it lost some health because it bit the blade.

The giant worm currently has 96% health; the battle has only just begun.

Section 245, Chapter 231: She's floating, she's floating!

The villagers could hardly believe their eyes; the girl, who looked younger than them and old enough to be their sister, was displaying such immense power.

Norm and Noran, the siblings, were even more shocked, because they knew that Ye Qingxian's true identity was an adventurer from another world.

They had fought against adventurers from other worlds, and in their impression, these adventurers were nothing like Ye Qingxian, who could fly freely and launch powerful attacks against magical beasts.
