Chapter 309 4 Knights
Chapter 309 The Four Horsemen
The four of them walked cautiously on the desolate ancient battlefield.
Unlike the normal caution last time, this time he was extra alert, somewhat psychologically traumatized by the previous wave of dark tide.
It is said that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
As the four of them walked, they vigilantly observed any movement around them, fearing that some unexpected accident might suddenly occur.
Although they all said that it was absolutely impossible for the Yin Tide to break out again in a short period of time, the four of them still took extreme safety measures.
As soon as he left the city gate, he summoned all the people he could.
Ye Luo’s zombies and ghost servants, Bai Ze’s heavenly guardians, Xiao Jie’s big orange, and the wolf spirit who wants to become an immortal.
The four people and five pets gathered together, and finally they felt more confident.
When encountering monsters, they no longer fight each other individually, but fight with all their might like a lion fighting a rabbit. In this way, the speed of killing monsters becomes extremely efficient.
The only one who was a little depressed was Bai Ze. He no longer dared to practice sword skills slowly and had to use the necessary spells.
While killing monsters, I calculated the speed at which my experience points and weapon experience points increased, for fear that I would accidentally level up again.
Fortunately, a lot of experience is required to upgrade from level 29 to level 30, so at least you don’t have to worry about upgrading in the short term.
As long as he could trigger an adventure, maybe he would have a chance to become a master swordsman - Bai Ze comforted himself in this way.
If it really doesn't work, at least I have to upgrade my swordsmanship to the master level, at least there is hope.
Xiao Jie led the way in front, observing the direction of the coordinates and recalling the location where the vortex of Yin energy appeared before.
Judging from the logic of the game, the secret realm entered by Xia Yi Wushuang might be related to the appearance of the so-called magic weapon. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Xia Yi Wushuang ran into the secret realm just when the Yin Tide broke out?
Why hasn't anyone discovered this secret place before?
Following the coordinates, Xiao Jie discovered that the location of the vortex of Yin energy was quite close to the direction marked on the coordinates of Xia Yi Wushuang.
This further confirmed his guess.
After walking for more than an hour, the four finally arrived at the edge of the ancient battlefield. The wilderness turned into a gloomy forest, and some long-abandoned fields could be seen in the deserted forest.
It looked like there had been villages and fields here before, but now they were all overgrown with gray weeds, and from time to time one could see corpses buried in the soil and broken armor.
After walking through the woods for a while, a fork in the road suddenly appeared ahead.
Xiao Jie opened the map and calculated the direction, and was stunned.
Oops, I calculated it wrong.
The location where the vortex of negative energy disappeared was in the northwest, but the direction indicated by the coordinates was in the northeast.
Well, people have miscalculated. The question now is whether to check the location of the vortex of Yin energy first, or to look for the secret realm of unparalleled chivalry first.
While hesitating, Ye Luo suddenly said, "You guys wait here, I'll go take a look alone."
After saying that, Ye Luo walked directly towards the fork in the road heading northwest.
Xiao Jie was a little worried and curious. If there really was some magic weapon coming out, it would be better to see it with his own eyes. What if - what if there was a chance to get it?
Besides, Ye Luo had helped him so many times, and he finally found something, but he just stood there and watched? It was so inappropriate.
Besides, I have the legendary trait of being able to ward off gods and ghosts, so what is there to be afraid of?
"Bai Ze, Cheng Xian, you two wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
Xiao Jie said as he followed.
Bai Ze looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and he felt a little tangled in his heart. That was a magic weapon. He had been playing the game for so long, but he had never seen what a magic weapon looked like. How about going over to take a look? Anyway, he knew the invisibility spell, so what was there to be afraid of?
"Chengxian, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
As he spoke, he used the invisibility technique and disappeared in a cloud of white mist, then followed him.
Only I, who wanted to become an immortal, was left there, looking stunned.
Fortunately, the summoned creatures of several people stayed where they were. Looking at the heavenly soldiers around me, I felt less panicked. Never mind, I'll just wait for a while.
------
Xiao Jie caught up with Ye Luo soon.
Seeing Xiao Jie, Ye Luo didn't seem surprised, and asked calmly: "How did you catch up?"
Although it was a question, the tone seemed to have the answer already.
"I'm worried about you." Xiao Jie still replied.
"Aren't you afraid that what you'll be born into is not a magic weapon, but a ghost king?"
"What are you afraid of? Even if he is the ghost king, I can still escape."
"Haha, whatever you want."
As the two were talking, they came to the edge of the woods, but suddenly found that they were too late. In front of the woods was an open farmland. On the ground, one could see a huge spiral mark blown out by the strong wind. The grass and trees covered by the mark were all in a state of decay. It was obvious that this was the location where the vortex of Yin energy appeared before.
At this time, the vortex has disappeared, and at the location of the traces, more than a dozen [corpses of tomb robbers] can be seen.
Around the corpse, there was a group of players, about seven or eight people.
The two did not show up rashly. Xiao Jie took a careful look and recognized several familiar faces, all of whom were survivors of Zhenhun Pass.
These guys are fast enough...
"Hurry up, let's dig quickly, the treasure must be here."
"Who has a shovel to sell me?"
"Everyone without a shovel should be on guard, there might be a fight soon!"
"The two wizards, prepare your spells, don't let anything go wrong."
"There must be something good under this ground. If we get it, we can retire."
The two were watching carefully when a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"You two look very interested."
When Xiao Jie turned around, he saw a swordsman in white standing silently behind the two of them.
Brother Xiaosa? Damn, when did this guy come?
Both of them were startled and drew their swords at the same time.
The cool guy was shocked by the two's reactions, "Don't get excited, I mean no harm, and besides, I'm not here alone, look over there."
When Xiao Jie turned around, he saw a fat monk leading a group of people rushing towards him on the road not far away. There were more than ten of them.
Xiao Jie was speechless for a moment. It was true that the world has become more corrupt and people's hearts have changed. Before, everyone said they didn't dare to come, but now they all came here. Didn't they say they were afraid of death?
But think about it, anyone who dares to level up in Ghost Mist Ridge is a desperado. If a strange phenomenon occurs today, there is a high possibility that a treasure will be revealed. All the previous dangers have passed, how can we be willing not to take a gamble? If there really is a treasure, we will be rich.
Another possibility is that these people are all level 30, and the lowest one is at level 27 or 28. As the saying goes, the more skilled you are, the bolder you are.
He glanced at Brother Xiaosha and saw that the other party also looked like he was there to watch a good show, so he didn't say anything else.
The three of them stood behind the tree, observing the situation quietly.
In the open space, the two groups of people have already faced each other. The leader of the group that came first was still trying to reason with him: "Haha, it turns out that it's Master Bude. I thought that a master like Master must understand the principle of first come first served, right?"
But Master Shuo Bu De didn't buy it at all: "Bullshit, we have more people, higher levels, and stronger strength, that's the truth, I think you guys might as well give way, if there really is a treasure, after we get it, we will naturally give you a share of it."
The group of people who came first immediately became anxious, "You can't say that. Are you planning to kill someone?"
Shuo Bu De sneered, "Of course not. Master, I am merciful. At most, I will beat you all to the point of death and throw you into the monster pile to let you go."
"Hahaha, what a joke, if it's just one or two people, maybe you can do it, but with so many of us, I don't believe you can injure everyone without killing them. If you kill a few of them at random, I want to see how you can survive in Ghost Mist Ridge?"
There is no way to return to the city once you become a red name. If you are in a low-risk map like Sunset Plains, you can naturally find a place to hide, but in this haunted place like Ghost Mist Ridge, you may encounter danger at any time and anywhere, not to mention the dark tides that occur every few days.
It would be extremely dangerous to remove the red name here.
Master Shuo Bu De is a ruthless person. "I'm really not kidding. I'm a monk. I have a talent called [Show Mercy]. When fighting, I can force the enemy to have 1 drop of health left. So I can beat you all to the point of near death."
Those people were stunned.
Master Shuo Bu De suddenly changed his tone to a sinister one, "Monks are compassionate, and I really don't want to commit murder, so I advise you not to ruin your life for these treasures. Go now, or you won't be able to leave soon."
The tone was extremely sinister, and it was obvious that he was not just talking casually.
Xiao Jie was filled with emotion when he heard this. It was true that one can never judge a person by his appearance. He had thought the fat monk was a good person before, but he turned out to be such a ruthless person.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene became tense.
Seven or eight people against more than ten people, and the other side also has a top master, which is obviously a huge disadvantage.
The leader of the first group of people was also decisive. "Okay, you are ruthless. I always say that monks are not easy to deal with. The mountains and rivers remain unchanged. Let's go."
After all, those people didn't dare to gamble their lives, so they left in disappointment.
Seeing the few people walking away, Master Shuo Bu De suddenly sneered and said, "My friends, you have been watching the excitement for such a long time, haven't you seen enough? Since you are here, why don't you show up and see us."
"Shh, he is cheating us." Brother Xiaosha was very decisive and reminded in a low voice.
Xiao Jie and Ye Luo looked at each other and really didn't move.
The Master shouted twice more and said to the people around him, "It seems that there is really no one left - let's start digging."
Everyone put on shovels, used digging skills, and started digging all over the ground.
The location where the vortex of Yin energy appeared was only an approximate direction, and the area it covered was very large, about 50×50 meters. The exact location was something we could only rely on luck.
Looking at these people digging around, Xiao Jie felt quite conflicted. With so many people on the other side, he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. He wanted to retreat but then he looked at Ye Luo again. The other party had no intention of leaving and he didn't know what he was thinking.
That cool guy also stayed where he was. Was he planning to snatch the item?
Is this guy so confident?
Although I feel uneasy, I can only wait patiently and see how things develop.
However, Xiao Jie was already prepared. If something went wrong, he would immediately call Ye Luo to run away with him.
"We dug it up, we dug it up!" a warrior suddenly shouted excitedly.
After all, it's a game, and it's impossible to do it exactly the same as real-life archaeological excavation.
With one shovel, the entrance to an ancient tomb was dug out.
"Shit, it's not a treasure chest, it's an ancient tomb!"
"Master, do you want to go down?"
"I think we should forget it. Maps like the Tomb Raiders are too dangerous. There's probably a boss in there."
"It's already this late, and you're backing out? That's a shame."
"How about someone go down first and do some reconnaissance?"
This group of people was obviously gathered together temporarily, belonging to several different gangs, and there might even be individual players. After arguing for a long time, they still couldn't make up their minds.
Ye Luo suddenly said: "The boss is coming, let's retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer.
A knight wearing heavy armor and riding a underworld warhorse slowly emerged from the darkness, holding a Zanpakuto sword.
"Hahaha! It's true that money can move people's hearts. You mortals have some skills and actually found my master's tomb."
Judgement (Ghost General): Level 35 boss. HP: 6550.
"What kind of ability do those who are greedy for money and profit have? They are just like mosquitoes and flies attracted by stench and profit."
Another shadow gradually emerged in the air, holding a dark iron wolf tooth spear.
Evil Shadow (Ghost General): Level 34 Boss. HP: 6400.
Xiao Jie's eyes tightened, damn, two ghost generals!
"Since they are here, we might as well kill them all, to prevent the news from leaking out and being known by the army of the Longhua Empire."
A third shadow emerged from the darkness, holding a dark-bladed bone-breaking axe.
Jue Gu (Ghost General): Level 35 leader-level BOSS. HP: 6600.
“Haha, Juegu, ah Juegu, you’ve been in the underworld for too long. I’m afraid you don’t know that the Longhua Empire has long been destroyed. Now that we are in power, no one can stop us. Our great cause can be accomplished.”
The fourth ghost general will appear from the darkness, wearing a ghost mask and holding a soul-killing iron halberd.
Lingmie (Ghost General): Level 33 boss. HP: 6200.
Four ghost generals of the underworld stood side by side on horseback. Just by standing there, the aura they exuded was enough to make Master Shuo Bu De and his group lose their temper.
If only one appears, I can fight it, maybe I can get a magical equipment. But when four of them appear at the same time, there is no point in fighting them.
"Run!" Master Shuo Bu De suddenly shouted, and everyone turned around and ran, but unfortunately, they rushed towards Xiao Jie.
"Run!" Xiao Jie shouted without hesitation, and the three of them turned around and ran.
There were sounds of ghosts howling and cries for help behind me.
Apparently someone was being caught up.
At this time, Xiao Jie no longer had any thoughts of stealing the treasure in his mind. He activated various acceleration skills and ran for his life.
Suddenly there was a loud shout from behind.
"Damn, what a fate, brothers, we meet again."
It’s hard to say what skill the master used to catch up with him so quickly.
There were also a few people who were also good at light work, and they caught up with sparks and lightning.
Judging from the magical glow on their bodies, they were obviously using magic.
"You guys are really good at playing the game of catching the yellow bird." The master said with a wry smile as he ran.
Xiao Jie also smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that the ghost general is not a mantis. I think it's more like an eagle."
Brother Xiaosha also sighed, "It's a pity to have worked so hard for nothing. You might as well go down to the tomb directly. Maybe you have already got the things."
Master Shuo Bu De gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, we can't just let it go like this, call in people, call in all of them."
