Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
At this moment, many huge demon beasts flew down from the world that appeared in the sky. In legend, tapirs were rare beasts that swallowed dreams. The dream tapirs from the Fantasy Netherworld was obviously fiercer and more elegant than those in legends. With lean and long bodies, fox-like heads, long tails, rainbow-colored feathers, and mountain-like size, they landed among the disciples of the Qionghua Faction, causing a bloody catastrophe.
Paws slashed out with blood spraying in all directions, and swords whistled, mixing with the roars of wild beasts.
The ethereal figures on the mountaintop among the clouds moved, and the sharp sword beams and chilly and alluring demonic spells formed a grand battle between immortals and demons.
The elves and mercenaries gaped at the scene with shock and awe on their faces.
The knights who were used to seeing many similar battles found that even a story in the game could be so grand and majestic!
Although they didn’t understand it yet, the players felt awe-struck!
“Ugh? That’s all?!” While they were enjoying it, the scene suddenly dimmed before them.
“That’s the end?!”
“Who won the battle anyway?!” They had seen the moment when Chan You faked defeat and then sneak-attacked the Taiqing Spiritual Master.
[TL Note: Taiqing Spiritual Master is also known as the Grand Pure One.]
“What’s happening?! Damn it! The scum shop owner did it again! We are left hanging again!?”
Mr. Fang told them that it wasn’t his fault, and he thought, “The game is created Softstar; why are you blaming it on me?”
He looked sulky.
After the opening cinematics, the game started.
“Oh… This person who looks to be a faction chief was killed by the demon.” In her livestream room, Su Tianji finished watching the cinematics while eating potato chips. She explained the scenes while watching it, looking quite professional.
Then, a crude wooden house appeared in everyone’s eyes. Yun Tianqing’s memorial tablet was placed on the table in the house, and smoke floated from the sandalwood incense sticks. Beside the table was a small boar that had been tied up for sacrifice.
“Um, how come this person looks like a savage, uh?”
On the screen was a good-looking young man with messy hair. With animal fur draped on his shoulders, the young man was wearing crude cotton clothes, and he kneeled before the memorial tablet with a dull expression. “Dad, I know I’m in the wrong. Last night, the boar’s loud screams kept me up for most of the night, which is why I’m late for burning the incense sticks for you this morning. Spring passed already, so I don’t know why it’s screaming so much!”
The small boar that was tied on the side honked.
“Dad told me to burn three incense sticks for him in the morning and night.” It seemed like he was talking to the boar. “You don’t know how terrifying he looked when he got angry.”
“Is he the main character?” Su Tianji ate another potato chip and said, “How come he looks so dull?”
After all, the main characters in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 and 3 are all clever, but this guy…
Su Tianji touched her head and thought, How come he looks as dull as a cattle?
…
– Meanwhile, in the new shop –
Mage Merlin was also puzzled. How come this mystical realm is different from all the others that I had seen.
The elves, knights, and mercenaries had also come to this part.
Then, they heard low roars of a boar outside the door. Obviously, the young man drew out the big boar after catching the small one.
“Great! I captured a boar, and another came for free!” Pleased, Yun Tianhe ran out the door.
Now, it was time for the players to control the main character.
“Can we use both the bow and sword?” Seeing Yun Tianhe taking out his bow, the elves who were archery masters were eager to try.
In the room, there was also a rusty thin sword. It looked old and wasn’t well-maintained.
“Can we use these two weapons?” Elina and the other assassins who were watching from behind looked eager. After all, bows and swords were common weapons used in Assassin’s Creed.
“I wonder how it feels to use these weapons…”
“I saw this scene in the trailer!” The players’ spawn place was on Green Bird Peak which was covered by giant ancient trees that looked like screens. Behind the wooden house was a huge waterfall with a stone bridge connecting the banks of the river beneath the waterfall. Before the house was an ancient path made of green stones. Further away, there was a tall cliff. Looking over, there was the misty and beautiful scenery.
All the grass and trees in this place looked natural. For the elves, this place had a type of beauty different from the kind that they were used to seeing.
“Oh! I thought Moonlight Lake in Silver Moon Forest was the most beautiful place that I’ve seen…” Sala’s pretty eyes looked at the picturesque Green Bird Peak in pleasant surprise. “So beautiful!”
For elves who loved art and nature, they would never miss such an opportunity to enjoy the rare natural beauty of this place.
As for the task and plot?
They would think about them later…
Yes, they were the legendary fans of beautiful scenery.
They must enjoy the natural beauty first!
The female boar had run into the Rock Creek Cave in which Yun Tianhe’s father’s tomb was located, but these elves ignored it and just ran around Green Bird Peak, wishing to take screenshots of each place they went.
As for the golden griffin knights and Mage Merlin, they liked the scenery as well, but they weren’t as crazy over it as the elves.
“Is this just a low-level mystical realm used to practice skills…?” Merlin was puzzled. According to the previous grand battle they had just watched, this mystical realm should be a high-level one.
How come the strange savage that I’m controlling only has a little bit of strength in his body?
Were those prior images just a bluff?
…
Helen had come to this part too. In her eyes, the main character was totally different from the characters in other games, and he was extremely funny.Hahaha! This guy… how did he mistake a girl for a big wild boar?!
“He thinks that she’s a demon boar; so hilarious…”
In the cave that appeared to be covered by ice crystals and ebony jade, Helen watched the conversation between this young man and a girl, and she almost spewed out iced red tea with laughter.
“Hiss-! What’s this?!”
At this moment, in Rock Creek Cave, an inhuman voice sounded.
“Summoning storms and thunder with a whisper. Reaching Heaven and Earth and entering the netherworld. Changing at will into anything I like.”
She looked over and saw a faint white shadow appearing before her. It had a body but no feet, looking like a spirit or a ghost with white flames burning around its body.
“Is it a ghost?” She looked shocked. As an aristocrat knight born and raised in Canglan City, she had never seen such things before!
“I’m Kui Zhao. I’m guarding this place at my master’s order, and I will kill any trespassers!”
“My goodness! Look! What’s this thing?!” Helen’s alarming shout drew the eyes of all the people around her.
Soon, they saw the white talisman spirit which looked like an immortal.
Helen’s sword techniques were good, but when she struck her sword at this thing, she found that her blade went through the body of the talisman spirit!
“This is… an alchemy creature?!” Merlin froze and then yelled, “This must be an alchemy creature; a high-level one too! It is a high-level alchemy creature immune to damage!”
Isn’t this a basic mystical realm?! How come it has such things?!
Besides… Is this the alchemy of the East Continent? Their skills have advanced to such a high level?!
