Chapter 535 The True Red Blade
Looking at all of the bodies lying in pools of blood, Dancing Forest couldn’t help but hold a hand over her mouth and cry, “These Bloody Plains really aren’t where man should venture into…”
Old K raised his battle axe and said, “If any monster launches an attack Archers, and Musketeers do not go near or you’ll be killed on the spot!”
Not far in the distance, I saw Yan Zhao walking over. He brought with him a group of [Prague] players and said, “This Lv 1 Hybrid Demon and its attack power already surpasses that of all of the players here. Usually, if we wanted to kill monsters here without any damage, we’d at least have to have warriors whose health is over 40,000, plus Archers and Mages with health over 20,000. But at this point in the game, there aren’t many people who have reached that point.”
Qing Qian nodded, “And so Brother Xiao Yao’s 25,000 health is already pretty hard to sustain here.”
Li Mu smiled, “Guild Master Yan Zhao brought quite a few people, and lost quite a lot as well. What do you think about this map?”
Yan Zhao wryly smiled, “What else could I think? The points here are probably all hidden in the number of Hybrid Demons you kill and the more NPCs you help. There’s no other way to look at it. There isn’t a single idea as to what the final reward is. All we can do is wait. But there is one thing for certain. The person who stands until the end will definitely get an incredible reward.”
Jian Feng Han smiled at him and said, “What’s wrong? Is Guild Master Yan Zhao still thinking about that godly weapon Despair?”
Yan Zhao Warrior smiled bitterly, “I definitely don’t have that kind of crazy dream. Despair is a quest item. For what reason would it go to any of us players? Even the Duke of Ba Huang City dreams of having this weapon in his hands. We better stop thinking about it for ourselves. How are you supposed to compete over a weapon with an NPC Duke? Isn’t that just asking to die….”
Simple raised her staff, “Can we not talk about this? Let’s hurry up and go. We’re only around 20 minutes away from the Graveyard of the Heroes. We don’t even know what’s in store for us there yet!”
“Ok!”
I walked over and nodded with a smile, “The difference in strength between Hybrid Demons and players on this expedition quest for the Graveyard of the Heroes is just too great, so…. How about we make an agreement. That during the course of this quest, we won’t PK each other at all. We must work together and kill the monsters and BOSSes. That is the only way we have any chance of succeeding in this quest!”
Simple nodded, “I agree with what Guild Master Xiao Yao says. We must work together to complete this quest!”
Jian Feng Han said, “Then let us retreat and advance together!”
Li Mu shouted, “Ok!”
“Let us set out!” I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword and looked forward, “Luo Lin and Frost have already walked too far. We need to follow close behind. If we are too far away from the NPCs, then a wave of Hybrid Demon monsters is enough to destroy all thousand of us!”
“Yes!”
……
Our group of players all set out. Nearly 5000 of us marched across the map and we carefully crossed through the brush.
As I walked, I opened up the big map. There were at least a dozen other small maps that were marked on it. One of them was the Graveyard of the Heroes. It was around 20 minutes away from us. However, the map was completely covered in red. One could just imagine the levels of the monsters there.
Not long after we set out, our surroundings quickly changed from a dense forest into mellow plains. All around us we saw broken weapons lying in the dirt. There were even bones from ancient warriors and horses, piled up in mountains. The ancient battle chariots were in ruins and the grey grass began to grow out of the cracks, giving off a staunch odor.
“Careful!”
Frost immediately pulled out her sword and said, “I feel an extremely strong presence here. The Graveyard of Heroes has been sealed for many years, but we are definitely not the only ones alive here!”
In the desolate battlefield, an ominous breeze fluttered a tattered battle flag. I could make out the shadow of a tiger symbol on it. Who knows which ancient empire flew that flag. There was no way to determine it. Under that tattered flag, a general sat cross legged on the ground. His body had already decayed completely, leaving only a white skeleton. He was still clothed in his golden armor, and he held a blood red sword in his hand as he quietly sat there.
At that moment, Wang Xuan, the military supervisor looked startled as he stared at the skeleton. He exclaimed, “Dear lord, is this the ancient hero Nan Shen. That… that blade in his hand, is that the True Red Blade? God, that is a godly weapon that was made by the God Smith Lu Gong. So the legendary True Red Blade was here. I never would have known….”
As he was talking, Wang Xuan’s eyes were filled with greed. He couldn’t resist and walked forward to reach for it.
“Stop!”
