Yahe Sea.
It was a sea located in a main city called the City of Sea King instead of the City of Light.
Ever since Lin Jie had hung the Black Dragon Head on the City of Light’s gate that had been providing additional attributes for players in the city, many players had rushed to the city. Additionally, the City of Light had the most bustling auction house, which supported the use of cash, as well as the Sky Provisions Shop. This resulted in a reduction of players in the main cities.
The City of Sea King was one of them.
The City of Sea King had several specialties: All water element attributes had a 15% increase. Amongst the players, there were 2 jobs that were able to control the water element, one of them referring to the Ice Mage after the Job-Advancement, such as Dejected Night, who could summon water elements of the same level to battle after upgrading. The second would be Contract Summoners, which were able to summon wild Water Elements. However, even the Water Element monsters in the City of Sea King benefitted the boost in attributes as well. This resulted in those around the city borders to be smelly and tough to kill. Gradually, the city grew desolate.
Savage Blade tread along silently as Fat Cattle and Wantless instakilled the surrounding monsters with magic. Trailing behind them was a 3-man-tall, blood-red Fusion Giant, which was dragging along a hill-sized package slowly.
Zheng Ziliang was tinkering with the Mechanical Gargoyle as he glanced at the big guy at the back and praised, “Jie, where did you get such a slave? We are going to use this giant to transport the mission item to the Mesosaprobic Shrine?”
Lin Jie’s mouth twitched as he said, “Remember that time when I manipulated the Exodus Bone Dragon’s return? Originally, I wanted to use the Demonic Dragon Crown to control the Bone Dragon, which was caught by the Holy Church, to fly us there straight. Who knew that those Priests had already refined the Exodus Bone Dragon into a Gargoyle to guard the Church? I am so pissed!”
“Exodus Bone Dragon? Wasn’t it already blown to pieces?” Bu Yi recalled, she was present that day, and the Exodus Bone Dragon’s body had cracked under the Holy Church’s angels’ attacks.
“The strongest part of an Undead monster is their revival ability, but don’t think that we are not as strong as the NPCs in this game. Actually, those War Gods and Grand Mages are not comparable to us either.” Lin Jie began explaining on a whim. “Battles between NPCs and monsters are based not on the statistics, but instead, on their species’ special features, races, powers, and so on. Basically, it’s very troublesome. It is hard, even for those Sub-Legendary characters to kill Undead monsters. However, it is a different case for us players, our attacks are based on damage calculations. Imagine how terrifying it would be if a group of people that are able to use skills beyond regulations and logic appear suddenly, and can kill you just by draining your health bar?”
Qiu Yuan thought about it and said swiftly, “I think I understand some things now.”
“In layman terms, our powers are beyond this world’s regulations. Hence the NPCs are willing to let us go on this mission. Despite this being just a game, all the lives within are all made of blood and flesh that are equipped with their own thoughts.” Lin Jie said solemnly, “It is important and beneficial to keep this in mind when we are killing monsters, leveling up, and completing our missions. The New Age is more than just a normal game.”
Zheng Ziliang shrugged and grinned. “Why sound so serious? I enter the game, one, to relax and two, to act cool and get chicks. These knicks and knacks consume too much brainpower.”
Lin Jie smiled faintly. “Your game mindset isn’t wrong, either.”
“Oh, okay, let’s not talk about all these. Fu Sheng, where did you get this space package?” Baili Changcheng eyed the space package around Lin Jie’s waist enviously—it was at least 10 times larger than the other packages!
“It’s a gift, a mission item,” said Lin Jie carelessly. “Did you expect them to make us drag the corpse there? I made 6 players brush the King of Blood’s corpse for 6 whole days to make its internals slightly cleaner for people to hide in. However, it’s full of rotten meat on the outside. If the system dares to make us drag it along personally, I am going to complain to the
Radio and Television Bureau.”
Everyone: “…”
The destination was the Mesosaprobic Shrine. It was the most important sub-shrine out of the 12 that the Dark Shrine had, and was in charge of the Dark Holy Water. However, it possessed an opposing rationale from the other sub-shrines. They wanted to seep into the Guild of Light gradually, whereas the radicals, which the Blood Sub-Shrine was the leader of, proposed a direct attack.
And now, Dark Shrine has divided into different opposing powers.
This split had also given rise to Lin Jie’s current idea—Initiate the conflicts between both parties and profit from it!
Actually, it would have been impossible for Lin Jie to aggravate the Dark Shrine’s internal conflicts, even if he had the corpses of 10 angels. However, his chip this time was the King of Blood, the strongest killing machine of Dark Shrine—It was an invincible presence and definitely held paramount importance!
“Eh, I thought they weren’t many players in the City of Sea King?” Zheng Ziliang frowned as he observed the players around them.
Lin Jie’s brows furrowed slightly, but he remained silent. He had already noticed earlier that the surrounding players had grown vastly in numbers! Amongst them were several hundreds and thousands of players that were at least Level 30. More and more of them came out of the teleportation circle in groups, and they eyed Lin Jie and gang with caution. About 80% of these people begun emitting black fog and then disappeared within the next few seconds.
The remaining players were made up of mainly Druids and Bandits that had all entered Stealth Mode.
“They may be from the Dark Shrine, be careful!” Lin Jie reminded, “This group of players may also have the same destination as us, Mesosaprobic Shrine! Damn it, the shrine always keeps a low profile, how can it attract players on such a large scale?”
Everyone trembled.
Baili Changcheng’s finger flicked as he handed a Cryolite Ring to Dejected Night. “Night, let’s use this combination skill to scan the surroundings,” he said.
This ring was a Gold item known as [Glacier Cryolite Ring], it also had an additional skill [Piercing Cold], which was able to lower the temperature within 20 yards. If 2 players combined their powers, the region would increase to 60 yards.
Dejected Night agreed and teamed up with Baili Changcheng to activate the skill. Instantly, the warm waves turned to ice crystals, and the 60 yards around them were transformed into wintry land. The effects so prominent that even Lin Jie couldn’t help but shiver. The Bandits that were in Stealth Mode were covered in crystals and detected.
“Dwarvish Identify Skill!”
Lin Jie threw out the identifier and briefly scanned the equipment on those players. Indeed, those were all items produced by the Dark Shrine! However, they were all equipment such as ‘Blood Armor’, ‘Blood Cape’, Blood Swiftfoot Boots’, whose names already exposed that the players were from the Blood Sub-Shrine!
“Sh*t, we got exposed!”
“Don’t be reckless, this is Savage Blade, we only have 40-50 people now. If we act rashly, it will be the end of us!”
“Let’s retreat first, go.”
This group of players was shocked, and they began activating their escape skills, retreating.
Lin Jie’s eyes darkened, and he grew serious. “Our trip may have just risen in difficulty. Alright, here are the coordinates for the Mesosaprobic Shrine. Ordinary players are unable to enter, guys, back up. Remember, everything goes according to plan, locate the respective coordinates that I have given you all, please remember!” he instructed.
Everyone replied solemnly, “Don’t worry.”
“Okay, then let’s begin!” Lin Jie retrieved the Demonic Dragon Crown and placed it on his head. At the tip of the crown, a vigorous dragon power was emitted out, and it covered Lin Jie’s body with scales. Lin Jie’s face looked as though it was being pulled as it transformed into a Dragonite.
Transformation, Moratti Dragon Envoy!
At the moment of transformation, Lin Jie could vaguely detect the Mesosaprobic Shrine Teleportation Gate within the void. These were gates that only the Dark Shrine Believers were able to see. After Lin Jie’s transformation, with his Admiration and Reputation levels, it was easy for him to locate the gates.
“Space Laceration!”
Lin Jie’s dragon claws grabbed onto the Space Teleportation Gate and tore it abruptly, a space gap appeared instantly. A beautiful, Poseidon Shrine-esque building, which seemed like paradise, appeared. Who would have thought that it was related to the Dark Shrine?
“Go!”
“Okay!”
Everyone entered and vanished.
……
Mesosaprobic Shrine.
“Tsktsk, I still thought that Dark Shrine was a disgusting and bloodied place, I never knew it was so beautiful.”
“Stop looking around! We are here for a mission, we will not be able to bear the consequences of failure if it’s incomplete.”
2 Paladins, who were clad in black plate armors, were walking inside the shrine. The Mesosaprobic Shrine was the size of 3 Cities of Light, and it had unlimited borderlands that grew many rare herbs and had unusual ores. If they did not know that this was a Dark Shrine’s sub-shrine beforehand, they would have exclaimed, “What a beautiful underwater world this is!”
One of the Paladins, with a rough-looking bald head, held a Dark Blood Sword. He knocked on his teammate’s armor and shouted, “Sammy, why do you think Big Boss gave us the mission to rush over here from the Blood Sub-Shrine? Aren’t the Blood Sub-Shrine and Mesosaprobic Sub-Shrine always fighting?”
The Paladin called Sammy whispered, “I heard that the Dark Shrine’s strongest killing machine, King of Blood, was killed due to Big Boss’ failed mission, and the corpse was delivered back to the Holy Church. Blood Tyrant was enraged, and he decreased Big Boss’ reputation points to the lowest, resulting in him being a soldier. I heard that his daily task is to sweep and clean, so much worse than us.”
“So harsh!”
“That’s right, it was really harsh. How many points can sweeping get? Hence, Big Boss gathered us to join Mesosaprobic Shrine to see if we can steal the Dark Holy Water Source to offer it to Blood Tyrant.”
The other Paladin was shocked. “Offer it to Blood Tyrant? What if we fail?”
“Idiot! If we fail, Big Boss will then steal Blood Tyrant’s items and offer them to the Mesosaprobic Shrine, we are players, we got to stay smart!” Sammy was going to continue his lecture, but he got surprised. “Who is fighting ahead?”
Sounds of a tough battle as a Draconian rumbled came from ahead.
“Sammy! It’s a dragon! No, it’s a Dragonite, a Dark Gold Rare Elite Dragonite, I think it’s called the Moratti Dragon Envoy. It is being surrounded by dozens of players!” exclaimed the Paladin.
