Chapter 331 World Channel
Chapter 331 World Channel
In the early morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the rain was falling like a waterfall.
The Thames River burst its banks, flooding half of the Fog City. In nine of the 33 districts, the water level was waist-high. Citizens scrambled to flee. Since the terrain around the Fog City was flat, hundreds of thousands of citizens chose to leave temporarily at one time.
After being washed by the river, the rock wall created by the talisman was pushed forward hundreds of meters and finally got stuck under the Queen's Bridge, the largest bridge in the Fog City. Someone was so cruel that he misappropriated the magic steel repair reserves of the Saint Lilith and not only reinforced the entire bridge, but also cast two magic steel nail pillars at the head and tail.
Since the attack on the Royal Opera House last night, Jiang He has been stationed on the Queen's Bridge after returning. The water of the Thames River continues to burst into both banks. Coupled with dark clouds and heavy rain, the flood continues to worsen. The Queen's Bridge seems to be floating on the water, becoming the only "standing place" within a few miles.
"The Eye of Ten Thousand Thunders needs repair..."
"Black Rose still needs more than 80,000 heads to advance..."
"The Soul Armored Blood Bat was originally fused and upgraded into the Mobius Knight, but the former still has room for improvement, which may lead to the advancement of the overall quality..."
"The Long Sorrow Dragon Spear is short of four ultimate items to be promoted to Immortal... It's not easy. Mr. Yan didn't seem to have any ultimate items before he died... A bunch of idiot players."
"The template for the Overlord's Armor... I can't find anyone to copy for now..."
On the Queen's Bridge, Jiang He leaned against the guardrail with a lot of thoughts in his mind, his hands moving non-stop, patiently loading the Black Rose Flintlock with white gunpowder and bullets.
At this stage, his strength is far from reaching its limit. According to the pattern of "one superpower and many strong countries", the overlord is the epoch-making creature that holds hegemony.
boom!
Jiang He casually raised the Black Rose and pulled the trigger. His eyes were pure white, and his all-seeing eyes successfully locked onto the invisible player two miles away.
Flames spewed out of the muzzle of the flintlock rifle, and countless strange and enchanting black roses bloomed on both sides, with vague and dreamy shadows.
The bullets drew a straight line under the dark sky. White powder flintlock bullets could pose a threat to the peak bronze level, but the real source of damage was still the basic damage and skill effects of perfect-level firearms.
With a loud bang, the bullet accurately hit the shield raised by the invisible player. The strong kinetic energy shattered this sophisticated prop. The bullet with insufficient remaining force got stuck in the target's shoulder, leaving a deep scar of half a little finger.
"It's nothing more than that..."
The stealth player breathed a sigh of relief. The sense of crisis that had made his hair stand on end just now turned out to be just a scare he had done to himself.
He turned to leave, but suddenly there was a cracking sound in his ears. It was the crisp sound of a soul being shattered, and it was irreversible. An ordinary silver creature was hit head-on by the black rose. Unless it was a physical system or had a high-level self-healing ability, the fate of the creature was self-evident.
thump!
The body sank into the water, and a dry black thorn swept away the scarlet card.
This is the 37th player to attempt to approach.
Jiang He continued to reload bullets. Among the dead players, there were those who had received missions to destroy the rock wall, those who had prepared excuses to form alliances to achieve greater goals, and those who simply wanted to see how powerful the great powers were. In short, without exception, he killed them all.
After all, at the settlement moment when the mission is completed, killing players from the enemy camp can earn you merits that can be exchanged for an unknown list. Judging from the specifications of this business trip, the reward should be quite high.
boom!
Jiang He fired another shot.
The player who turned into a stream of water died, separated from his original liquefied form, and his appearance was not good-looking.
……
The center of the foggy city, Platinum Palace.
The river burst its banks, leaving millions of people homeless. The flood directly alarmed the king.
However, surprisingly, half a day has passed, and the authorities in the Fog City have still not been able to come up with an effective solution, or even a decent response measure, and they can only watch the situation develop.
A large number of demons have replaced and disguised themselves as important officials at all levels in the Fog City. Their primary goal is to seize real power. Normally, they are well disguised, but when the Fog City machine needs to run at high speed, there are jaw-dropping failures everywhere.
In the messy Platinum Palace, the Terminator and the Quick Knife Chef came to the Prime Minister's office and spoke frankly. Moses' strength was equal to theirs, but the supreme obedience of demons and players could not be compared. The Demon Lord was waiting outside the crack. This deterrence made Moses' words final, not to mention that he was the direct blood of the Demon Lord.
"...Your plan is to have me speak to His Majesty and awaken the sleeping Knight King?"
Moses, dressed in a suit and holding a cigar, laughed angrily: "I know the battlefield has always been notorious and is on par with us demons, but it's better not to use such despicable means."
The devil's greatest enemy is the Knight King.
The Quick Knife Demon Chef cancelled his perfect skill, Delicious Temptation, and said seriously, "Your Highness Moses, you should be clear about the significance of the powers. The powers called Mo Ke are the culprits of this flood. The king and the parliament demanded that the flood be quelled, but in my opinion, it is extremely difficult for you demons to draft documents. Instead of solving the problem, it is better to solve the person who caused the problem, and we will take care of the rest."
"It's impossible. You can go." Moses said coldly. If this world did not still hate the devil so much, it would be possible to forcibly awaken that existence. He would rather try to summon his own kind and then trap and kill the two of them here.
The scene fell into silence.
The Terminator said: "I don't think you have much interest in the position of Prime Minister. You just want to use this power and the ready-made and complete platform to wipe out the glory of the Knights, so that the Knight King will die in his sleep."
"But in fact, it is more difficult to wipe out a culture than imagined, and the current demon camp does not have the strength to challenge the Knight King. To be honest, we did not understand this before."
The expression of the Quick Knife Demon Chef kept changing. He originally thought that a few hundred silver demons could do anything, and the reason why Moses became prime minister was nothing more than that he was attached to the power of humans. But after last night's defeat, he had to admit that the great powers had a level of ruling power that was beyond measure.
The Terminator continued, "It would be better to let the great powers kill each other than to waste time and energy to let the Knight King die naturally. I don't think the Lord's patience is necessarily unlimited."
"Humph." Moses said coldly, "Do you really think that monster is like us, dogs and horses, and will obey orders once it is released? The first thing the Knight King will kill when he wakes up is me and other demons."
"So we just need to sacrifice the other demons," said the Terminator. "They all have their own prominent identities. If hundreds of high-ranking officials are killed in one go, His Majesty will surely be enraged and awaken the Knight King. And you, who have eliminated hundreds of pests, will have room to maneuver in front of the Knight King."
As long as all demons are ordered to attack the Queen's Bridge, the dilemma will be resolved. It will be in the interests of both sides to wait until the Knight King is unsealed and watch the great powers fight each other.
As for these demons, they are of course cannon fodder sent to die. There are countless demons in the abyss, and no lord cares about the casualties of non-direct forces. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why demons are rampant in the void.
Moses knocked on the table and suddenly smiled, "Come here, serve tea to the two distinguished guests."
……
At the same time, on the east side of the foggy city.
More than 100,000 people left the foggy city along this route. As the river water swept through, more than 20 areas were affected by the flood.
"The parliament masters are all useless!" "What should I do with my factory?"
"Who stole my wallet?"
The entire team was in a mess, which greatly increased the difficulty of identification for the guarding players.
The fortune teller, the talisman man, the deputy chief of operations, and Tommy were mixed in the crowd, each holding an excellent-grade breath-concealing talisman to conceal their life levels.
The Jian family in the current environment has the most profound and comprehensive talisman inheritance. They control the corresponding supernatural market by relying on high quality, large quantity and low price. At this stage, there are no written laws in the supernatural field in the current environment. The talisman man has more than ten kilograms of various talismans on hand, which shows how arrogance he is.
"We're reaching the barrier. The three of us can't get out."
The Deputy Chief of Operations looked up and saw a transparent high wall connecting the sky and the earth standing quietly two hundred meters away. The citizens of the Fog City were unaware of it when passing by, but he felt the danger.
"Let me try it out later."
When the three people approached, the talisman man took out a talisman and turned into a paper man, falling to the ground and moving forward. This origami technique came from the pile of old papers of the ancient martial arts world, discovered and collected by his sister Jian Fuxue. It can sometimes work wonders when combined with talismans.
After the art of origami was contributed to the family, the ancestor, who was an ancient, woke up briefly for this purpose. The level of the technique did not matter; what was truly valuable was the idea.
The ancestor's strength is not as good as that of the Supervisor, but he also has several friends from outside the world. After layers of operations across the world, the meritorious Jian Fuxue joined the affiliated forces of Origin, and then stepped into the employee threshold of overseas facilities, and finally became a service provider, successfully getting the "iron rice bowl" of Origin, responsible for expanding the channels for selling talismans on this line.
The favors used during this period were originally prepared for him, the eldest grandson of the eldest son.
"Have some effect, talisman paper figurine!"
The talisman man suddenly shouted, scaring several teammates nearby.
Oh!
The talisman paper figure that attempted to cross the barrier was shattered directly.
Players are not even allowed to cross the line in terms of strength.
The astrologer asked faintly, "What's wrong with you?"
Obviously, the other party's shout left even the fortune-teller confused.
The talisman man sighed: "Brothers, don't you think we are actually useless? We have been safe and sound all the way. How can I show my value?"
"Isn't that normal?" Tommy wondered. He didn't think it was wrong. Back then in the Leden Library, he just slept through it all. Even if the sky fell, Rhine would hold it up.
"Your idea is very dangerous," the deputy chief of operations said earnestly, "Personal heroism is not acceptable."
"Where is Mo Ke?" The talisman man had a blank expression on his face.
"He is a great power." The Deputy Secretary of Operations answered matter-of-factly.
The fortune teller had no interest in adjusting the atmosphere within the team. He said in a gloomy tone, "Tommy is hiding outside the barrier. The three of us will change directions and make some noise to attract the enemy..."
Before he finished speaking, a reminder tone rang in the ears of several people.
[Announcement: Dusk Arena player - Passing Daoyou has found the World Core. The real-time coordinates of the World Core will be announced to all players immediately]
[Announcement: Prepare the power of destiny corresponding to the world to ignite the fire of coordinates and enter the second stage]
Several people looked at each other. The astrologer understood the talisman man's feelings. Now it was time for the competition. The three of them could not leave Tommy too far. At least they had to ensure that when Tommy encountered danger, he could enter the barrier at any time to seek help.
"Stay where you are and wait for that person's order. This is the cause of this incident."
-
Queensbridge, layers of rain.
After the prompt sounded.
Jiang He looked around and saw hundreds of black spots appearing in the water buildings. Because the area turned into a swamp, artillery and troops could not close the distance. These demons disguised as normal people chose to use extraordinary warfare to besiege.
"The number of players is much less than expected."
The core of the world was born, and a large number of players went to surround the target. On the temporary star map module loaded on the panel, a red dot jumped left and right around the Somme Street without stopping. Its speed was so fast that a red afterimage could be vaguely seen.
At the same time, on the world channel that was opened along with the star map, pieces of information about the target were made public. The player who obtained the core of the world obviously made things difficult for his pursuers.
[Wang Yuan (Battlefield of All Beings): ID: A fellow passer-by, a peak silver player specializing in speed, has been running the whole time, other details unknown]
[Seafood Radish Soup (Dusk Battlefield): Not a local, but a long-time troublemaker. His main skill is the ultimate speed ability - uncertain flash. When moving at full speed, there is a chance to flash. This probability changes all the time, and neither the enemy nor us can be sure.]
[Demon Killer (End of the Battlefield): He is a lone wolf, kill him]
[Mo Ke (Origin Battlefield): Come to Queensbridge, I will find a solution for you]
An unexpected ID appeared in the world channel, and the channel became silent for a moment. The noble Origin Powers suddenly spoke, and many players quickly took photos.
Bang bang bang!
Above the water, dozens of silver fire demons released explosive flames at the same time. Black fireballs with a diameter of several meters flew across the sky. Fire demons are a relatively common type in the abyss. They are proficient in all kinds of fire and have strong physiques.
Boom!
A dark red gun light swept back and forth in mid-air, hitting the explosive flame and causing a dazzling explosion. Ripples appeared on the surface of the water, and half of a mud fireball fell, burning through half of the house.
The frost demons joined forces and released seven perfect ice frosts. With the Queen's Bridge as the center, the area within a radius of several thousand meters was reduced to a thick ice surface. Seeing this, the demons launched a charge.
The Terminator, the Quick Knife Chef, and Moses stood together, and dozens of players beside them also joined the BOSS battle strategy team. Since the players of Dusk Arena were too casual by nature, the number was much less than expected.
"What are the chances of winning?" Moses asked in a low voice.
The Terminator and the Quick Knife Chef looked at him in confusion.
For a moment, the two couldn't tell whether the other was joking to liven up the atmosphere, or if they had really become an inexplicably confident idiot.
The Terminator said: "The only thing we three need to pay attention to is to seize the opportunity to evacuate. Don't worry about anything else."
The Quick Knife Chef nodded: "There is no chance of winning. It is a pleasant surprise that we can break through the defense. I advise you to take care of yourself and don't confuse life and death, otherwise the two of us will not accompany you."
