Chapter 328: Unlocking the mission
At this time, Lu Wu and Bei Li both felt very heartbroken.
Lu Wu’s heart ached because underworld had exploded. Although he had enough money to rebuild it, he still felt heartache.
Bei Li’s heart ached because the ice cream had been taken away. He couldn’t eat it anymore.
But the underworld had already exploded, what else could he do? Lu Wu’s liver hurt …
But the ice cream was already eaten. What else could they do? Bei Li’s stomach hurt …
In the game, all the players who had rushed back from Boneyard saw a black mushroom cloud rising and spreading in the air from a distance, and their hearts tightened.
Thinking that sunlight was destroying underworld, the players immediately sped up their return.
However, when the players arrived in hell, they were all dumbfounded. There was no hell at all. There was only a huge crater in the ground, and not even a speck of hell was left.
All the players were speechless.
The players who saw this had extremely complicated feelings.
“There’s someone here!”
At this moment, a sharp-eyed person noticed a figure curled up on the ground in the crater, and his body was still trembling.
Seeing this, the players all jumped into the crater and approached the figure.
When the players came to the figure, they couldn’t recognize who the bloodied figure was, so they all activated their analysis ability.
[Sunlight (early stage ghost emperor)]:
[Character information: ranked third among the nine brothers of the nine Yao great domain. In charge of the West of the nine Yao great domain’s qiusai Ridge, subordinate to the sun glory Army.]
[Character characteristics: cautious, intelligent]
[Character status: near death (deteriorating), dark energy corrosion (deteriorating), 80% of body destroyed, irreparable!]
……
At this time, the body of RI Yao, who was lying on the ground, was trembling uncontrollably. Countless black mist could be seen spreading and spreading on the surface of his body, constantly eroding it.
The players ‘arrival had alarmed him. He turned his head weakly to look at the players who had gathered around him. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but he could not make a sound. Black blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
Sunlight had never thought that this Northern divergent would be so ruthless. They had actually hidden such a terrifying law of darkness trap to ambush him and even destroyed the entire city for this.
Riyao felt that he had miscalculated.
This raid on underworld had been carefully planned by him. Even if the players did not leave the city, he would pretend that he was no match for them, or use other methods to lure the players out of the city to fight. Then, he would use the space crystal to raid the city and take over underworld.
So when the players went out of the city to fight, he was very happy because he felt that he had won.
However, the outcome was completely out of his expectations. From what he could see, he had also fallen for the same trick. Perhaps the players had been waiting for him to enter the city, or perhaps they had already planned to use the entire underworld in exchange for his life.
How ruthless!
RI Yao stared at the players around him and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t help but vomit blood again.
The black blood dripped on the ground, making a sizzling sound of corrosion.
“Riyao, you’re so ruthless!” After seeing the message from sunlight, the players were all furious. Although they did not know why he was so heavily injured, they believed that he was the main culprit behind the destruction of hell.
Hence, the angry players began to attack sunlight.
With sunlight as the center, the players formed a large circle and madly threw skills at him to vent their anger.
Under the players ‘frenzied attacks, sunlight was getting weaker and weaker.
If he was at his peak, he wouldn’t be afraid of these players. However, the law of darkness was constantly eroding his body, and he couldn’t resist at all.
The power that was originally used to repair the body was also thrown into disorder by the players ‘attacks, increasing the damage of the dark power.
As he coughed out more and more black blood, the state of the sunlit room became weaker and weaker. The red light in his pupils slowly dissipated until it was extinguished.
How ruthless!
This was the last thought in riyao’s mind before he died.
He was originally very confident in this battle at Beiqi, but he didn’t expect it to end in this way …
The moment he died, a white light appeared around the players around him.
Everyone level up!
However, this wasn’t what the players wanted. Underworld had already disappeared, and their homes were gone.
Even the death of sunlight was not enough to ease the anger in their hearts. Hence, they changed their direction and charged towards the burial land, wanting to continue fighting with the nine glory Army to vent their anger.
This battle lasted for more than half a day. Although it ended with the players being completely annihilated, the nine glory Army also paid a heavy price and lost nearly one-fifth of their forces.
In particular, the death of sunlight had caused the morale of the nine glory Army to fall. In the end, they did not station any troops in Beiqi but chose to return to nine glory.
After all, the purpose of this battle was to ensure that sunlight could successfully become the official sovereign. However, now that sunlight was dead, there was no point in them staying here. After a discussion among the ghost kings of the nine radiance Army, they finally decided to return to the nine radiance great domain to report the situation.
……
After the battle ended, a post on the forum was suddenly pushed to the top.
[Please let your lost friends return. We don’t want this kind of separation!] [Op: lonely and invincible]
There were countless players who followed this post. The most heartbreaking part of this battle was not the disappearance of underworld, but the death of their NPC friends.
The reason why underworld was called home by players was inextricably linked to the existence of their NPC friends. Underworld could be rebuilt if it was gone, but they did not want their friends to leave just like that.
Perhaps new NPCs would pick them up after they died, but the players couldn’t accept that because it meant that they were really dead and would never appear again.
This post was pushed to the main page of the official website by the players. Many players even used a pleading tone, hoping that the battle behind the scenes team could revive these friends.
After seeing this post, Lu Wu couldn’t help but be moved. He also understood what the players were thinking because bronze pendants really existed.
Although only a few people knew this, the NPCs ‘personalities and actions made the players feel that they were alive, not rigid artificial intelligence virtual humans.
However, although Lu Wu could easily resurrect bronze pendant and the others, Lu Wu wouldn’t do it because he wouldn’t cherish things that were too easy to get.
However, he would create an opportunity for the players to work hard.
So, when the players came online again, Lu Wu’s mission appeared.
[Unlocked mission: returning friends (all servers)]:
[Mission description: enemies are invading. Underworld’s NPCs fight back with all their might and engage in a battle with the enemy.] However, the enemy was too powerful. In the end, they were unable to resist the merciless trampling of the enemy cavalry and died defending the city. Under the call of all the players, the “returning friends” mission was activated at this moment, and their path of resurrection was unlocked by unlocking the mission.
[Mission objective: kill the enemy to obtain resurrection points. Each nine glory Army soldier is worth 1 point. Ghost Governor (1000 – 3000 points), ghost king (5000 – 32000 points), Starlight (100000 points). Resurrect one NPC randomly for every 10000 points.]
[Resurrected NPCs: none (3789 in total)]
This was the first time that a region-wide unlocking mission had appeared in the game.
Although it was difficult, the players were very happy. The dark clouds in their hearts had also dispersed with the appearance of this mission.
In the players ‘eyes, as long as they could revive, it was better than anything else.
Forum:
The strongest Xue Li: “I’m so happy~in the future, let’s work together to kill the enemy and let our friends resurrect as soon as possible. All the best!”
[Roasting Chang ‘e while holding a Jade Rabbit: it’s better to have hope than anything else. I’ll focus on grinding in the nine Yao great domain in the future. I’m going to kill to my heart’s content (happy!)]
[Suika Tairo: sigh, I don’t have a home anymore. I’m going online again to the nine-Yao great domain to vent my anger. I’m going to save more points to revive my friends.]
……
The players on the forum encouraged each other and were full of confidence. They stared fiercely at the nine Yao great domain, preparing for their counterattack.
However, someone on the forum raised a question.
[Crayon Shinchan: haven’t you guys realized a problem?] How did the underworld disappear? if it was destroyed by the sunlight, why was the sunlight so severely injured? “But if it wasn’t for sunlight, the players ‘strongest forces are rock and Hydra. Many players saw them killed by sunlight. Right now, I’m still very confused as to why hell exploded and why sunlight was heavily injured!
[Disorder splitting wind hammer: I was in hell at that time. I personally witnessed the death of brass hook, Boulder, and the Hydra. However, sunlight wasn’t injured at all. Even at the moment of my death, I didn’t see any powerful individuals appear to help. I’m also very confused. Can someone explain?]
[Winter Assault: I was one of the last few to die, and I didn’t see any other forces appear at the time (confused)]
[Death ray: I’m dumbfounded by what you’ve said. I’ve always thought that the destruction of hell was related to the sunlit Empire. But now that I think about it, something doesn’t seem right either (dumbfounded face).]
While the players were discussing, nie Feng, who was reading the post, was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
After knowing that the NPCs could be resurrected, the anger in nie Feng’s heart had already subsided. What was left was only fear.
He didn’t know if he would become The Public Enemy of the players like Hu He did if he were to say that he was the one who blew up underworld. At this moment, his face was pale with fear.
After all, nie Feng himself did not expect the power of that explosion to be so terrifying.
However, if he didn’t come clean, nie Feng felt that he would be done for. Because those 40000 herbs were given to him by other guilds to make explosive pills. They didn’t belong to him at all.
However, nie Feng felt that even if he sold himself, he wouldn’t be able to pay back the small change.
For a moment, nie Feng was caught in a mental struggle.
Confess! Concealment!
Two thoughts swirled in his mind.
At this moment, a message popped up in his friend list. Nie Feng subconsciously opened the message list and several chat boxes appeared.
Chen Ziyu: “wind, how many explosive pills do you have now? I’m about to lead a group to sweep the nine Yao great domain.”(Smile)
[Lu Zhan: boss Shao, restocking!] Restocking! I have to say, your explosive balls are really good, how many more do you have (funny)
[Ye Xue ‘er: boss Shao, give me all the goods you have. I need them urgently. The other guilds can wait for a while. (Smile)]
Li Xiao: “wind, why don’t you just join our guild? I can buy all of your goods by myself, and I can also provide you with a large number of medicinal herbs. Oh right, how many more goods do you have? don’t sell them all, leave some for me (funny).”
……
Looking at the inquiries of the Guild leaders in the chat box, nie Feng’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Now that all 40000 medicinal herbs were gone, even if he had the energy to continue refining, he did not have the money to buy so many medicinal herbs.
At this moment, nie Feng was so aggrieved that he was on the verge of tears …
