Chapter 625: Mengzhong Ancient City
In Dragon Territory, the cold wind howled, and snow particles hit my face in the wind. It felt a little painful. Just outside the hall of Dragon City, every few steps there was a Dragon Territory warrior standing with his hand on the hilt of his sword. , like statues, looking intently, until I approached, I saluted with awe and said: "Sir, Lord Yuechi is waiting for you in the command hall!"
"Okay, got it."
Stepping into the hall, I have been busy with the Golden League for many days and haven't seen Mingyue Pond for a long time.
…
In the command hall, there is a cold-resistant plant in front of the window. The cold wind rushes in through the gaps in the window, causing the leaves of the plant to sway repeatedly. The beautiful figure of Mingyuechi is in front of the window, looking down at Longcheng. In the distance, a delicate body is wrapped in armor, and a snow-white cloak behind her is swaying with the cold wind, giving off a faint sassy atmosphere.
"Sister."
I walked closer and whispered.
"You're here~~~"
She turned around, looked at me with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother, if you don't come again, I'm afraid Senior Sister will take the initiative to go to Bailu City to look for you."
"Oh? Is there anything urgent you need from me, senior sister?" I asked.
"Um."
She nodded and said, "There is an urgent task that you need to carry out."
"What mission?"
"A huge threat comes from the north." She looked at me with a solemn look in her beautiful eyes, and said: "Three days ago, a light cavalry scout from the Dragon Territory passed through the northern snowy territory. The ancient city was attacked, and a large number of the dead appeared. Some of the dead could even use the ancient martial arts of the human race. Therefore, I suspect that something must have happened in the ancient city of Mengzhong, and a bold and careful person is needed to find out. "
"The ancient city of Mengzhong?" I was surprised.
"Um."
She said softly: "More than 10,000 years ago, before Senior Sister fell asleep, the footprints of the human race had extended to the north of the snowy region, where many cities of ancient civilizations were built. One of the cities was called Mengzhong. It was built by one of the princes. Guard, but after the invasion of the Purgatory Legion, the ancient city of Mengzhong fell in an instant, and a large number of people migrated to the south. It also became an abandoned city, but now there is a new trend in the ancient city of Mengzhong. Junior brother, are you willing to go there? ?"
"Obligated!"
I patted my chest and said, "Leave it to me!"
She smiled happily: "Well, senior sister knows that you are the bravest!"
As he spoke, a ringing sound passed by his ears——
"Ding!"
System prompt: You have accepted the mission [Exploring Mengzhong Ancient City] (S-level ★★)!
Mission content: Arrive at the ancient Mengzhong City, explore all the drastic changes that have occurred there, find the source of the drastic changes, return to the Dragon Domain, and tell the news to Mingyue Pond. You will receive very generous rewards, but be careful, Mengzhong There is an aura of evil coming from the ancient city, and a very powerful evil spirit must have appeared there.
…
Say goodbye to Mingyue Pond and set off!
Carrying the Big Dipper Sword, he drove the cold iron horse out of Dragon City and headed straight to the north. He opened the big map. In the distance, a red light kept flashing, reminding him of the mission goal. It was very far away and had almost reached the northern part of the Lost Plains. It's the border area, and even with my super speed, it would take at least 30 minutes to get there.
While running, she opened her friend list. Tang Yun's ID was on, so she sent a message: "Beauty, what are you busy with?"
She took a screenshot, showing magic being scattered among the monsters deep inside.
I couldn't help but smile: "Leveling maniac, your level has surpassed mine again!"
Tang Yun waved her staff to gain experience while moving around among the monsters to avoid damage from normal attacks. She smiled and said, "I'm very desperate... My boyfriend is busy with the club and has no time to accompany me, so he has to vent his anger on the monsters!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll spend some time with you when I'm done."
"Uh-huh."
"By the way, your Tang Sect has also entered the Golden League. Do you want to build a club?"
"Yes."
She blinked her big eyes and said with a smile: "The sponsors have been found. Dad's company invests, and Sister Ping and Tang Song will do the work. I just need to continue to maintain my advantages in level, equipment, and skills."
"Stop the boss, you're so awesome...I'm going to do the mission too!"
"Okay, bye brother Xi~~"
"Bye bye sister Yun."
"..."
He turned off the call, and then opened the call with Shanari Fusu.
"Brother Xi, what's going on?" He was surprised: "I'm about to gather everyone to attack the Elf Valley."
"Tell me about the Golden League."
I coughed and said, "Fusu, you also watched the Golden League qualifiers. Our natural selection group was under great pressure when we met the first-line teams. Chengcheng and Dahai both need more experience, and the team also lacked integration. In the end, The important thing is that a 1v1 match cannot guarantee an early end to the game with three wins, so... when will you join Beichen? "
"Well..." He was a little embarrassed: "As I said, my parents are not in good health. I want to stay at home and spend more time with them. Besides, I have no plans to join the Chosen Group."
"It's to join the Beichen Club."
"We... established a club?" he asked in surprise.
"Um!"
I nodded: "Actually, the club is just a shell, responsible for running everyone's activities. It's the same if you live at home. The Golden League only has games on weekends. You can live in Shangqiu from Monday to Friday and fly there on the weekends. It’s just a bit tiring to compete on the field, but the rest is fine. Think about it, the club will pay you as usual.”
He groaned: "Since you, Brother Xi, have already spoken, I can't continue to refuse, but... In the Golden League mode, assassins are not very useful in team battles. Are you sure the club wants me?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, I agree!"
"Okay, I'll go back to Xiran to handle the formalities."
"Ok, I'll go to work on the elf treasure chest first, and rush to the level 4 guild as soon as possible."
"Yeah!"
This time, the big stone hanging in my heart was finally put down. Once Fusu joined, the strength of the Beichen team would be stronger, especially in the 1v1 game. He and I are both stable scoring points, and Lin Che is a quasi-stable scoring point. In this way, against more than 70% of the league teams, we can end the opponent 3:0 in the first three single-player modes.
...
Half an hour later, deep in the snowy northern border.
Blizzards fell from the sky, and the field of vision could only see less than ten meters away, but the cold iron horse was like a fish in water, stepping on the snow and running fast, taking me all the way to a blood-red position on the map.
"Swish!"
A blood-red cold light shot out from the forest next to me. I turned around quickly, and the Phoenix Bone Shield was placed on the side. With a "clang" sound, a wisp of sparks splashed out, blocking most of the damage of the arrow, but even so, I still lost more than 2000 HP, which shows how powerful this arrow is.
"Hiss~~~"
Amid the creepy cry, the attacker appeared, holding a newly made strong bow, wearing tattered armor, with a piece of bones exposed in the hole of the armor, and under the helmet, the skull face was inlaid with blood-red eyes, which made people feel creepy. He seemed to be crazy, roaring loudly, retreating, and shooting arrows continuously.
Alliance heavy archer, 165 level ghost monster, with super high attack power, plus movement speed and attack speed are not low, lethality cannot be underestimated.
"Looking for death!"
I rode my horse straight away, charged at the target, raised my long sword, and crackled a set of seven consecutive attacks to reduce the life of the alliance archer to half. A chill penetrated my arms, triggered the slash, and pierced his broken body with a sword, killing him instantly!
"Pah~~~"
A pile of gold coins and a golden helmet exploded, and I picked them up successfully.
But just as I stood up straight, "chi chi chi" another stream of arrows shot from the snow curtain, and I quickly blocked the front with a shield, entering the defense skill state, accompanied by the sound of "clang clang clang", and the damage numbers of different sizes continued to splash and fly, and in the snow curtain, shadowy figures appeared one after another, all of them were alliance archers, there were more than a dozen.
"So many..."
I frowned, rushed forward with my sword, and used the blood-sucking battle recovery effect to continuously slash and kill. In less than a minute, I killed all the high-level archers. After Tianyuan Fire Blade quickly picked up the gold coins, I immediately turned around and headed towards the direction of Mengzhong Ancient City. Only from there could I know what happened here and what resurrected these Mengzhong archers. Judging from their clothes and armor, they may have been buried underground for thousands of years.
...
Facing the snow curtain, slowly moving north.
"Woo woo woo--"
A sharp horn sounded in the wind, as if summoning the army.
"What the hell?"
I grinned and continued to move forward in the wind and snow. Not far ahead, a row of neat troops appeared in the snow curtain. They were a group of soldiers holding swords and shields. Each of their armor was broken and the shields were even rusted and punctured. Some held rusty swords, and some held a broken sword, but the formation was neat. With the help of the faint light, I took a closer look. The faces were all full of death. Some had dried up, some were half rotten, and some were already a piece of white skeleton.
Alliance heavy infantry, 167 level ghost monster.
This time, the level is higher, 3 levels higher than me, and the number is not cheap. At a glance, at least thousands of alliance heavy infantry are gathering. If I fight hard, I will definitely not get any advantage. I might be killed in minutes.
I took a breath of cold air. I can't afford to provoke them. Get out of the way!
I stroked the neck of the cold iron horse and comforted its restless mood. I lifted my cloak to cover my hair and face so that outsiders could not see me. In this way, these monsters in the wind and snow might not recognize me and attack me.
Going forward, a piece of ruins appeared in front of me. The city wall had collapsed long ago. Only two-meter-high stone piles remained. The black stones were weathered a lot, but the ancient black inscriptions could still be seen. The prosperity of the ancient city of Mengzhong could be vaguely seen. The cold iron horse neighed and took me over the low wall. The snort of the war horse suddenly sounded in my ears.
Looking up, a line of undead iron cavalry holding iron spears and riding bone horses stood in front of me. They were all wearing black robes and their blood-red eyes stared at me, as if they had discovered something.
