Chapter 50: The Golden Seal and the March on Skull Island
Within the City of Death.
Zhang Yue and Su Jinyan were grinding through level 27 Skeletal Shieldbearers as a team.
After each Shieldbearer kill, Zhang Yue would take out the Skull Island Seal and attempt to refine it. The refinement could only be done a maximum of ten times per kill, and the attempts didn't stack.
Before they knew it, the time crept up to 11:50 PM.
Only ten minutes remained before the Reaper Ceaser would descend.
Su Jinyan didn't have the Demon's Heart buff, so she had to use a town portal scroll to return to the Holy Light Cemetery and hide in a tomb to avoid the Reaper's attack.
During that time, Zhang Yue stopped fighting skeletons, too. If he got attacked and wasn't at full health, the Demon's Heart effect would be nullified, and Ceaser would kill him on the spot.
Zhang Yue found a safe spot and waited patiently until 12:10 AM, after the Reaper's invasion ended and withdrew.
Ten minutes later, Su Jinyan returned to the City of Death, and the two resumed their hunt for Skeletal Shieldbearers.
By the time they had killed 300 of them, Zhang Yue had tried refining the seal thousands of times but still hadn't managed to produce the Golden Seal.
So they moved on to hunting level 28 Skeletal Mages.
