Chapter 287 – Ancient Demon Blade (2/2)
“Where?”
“To the south. [Vanguard] currently has 5000+ people guarding it. We probably won’t have a chance unless Xiao Yao brother wants to charge in with the whole guild and lose a couple hundred members. The losses would be a little great in that case.”
I nodded, “Then let’s not consider it, this wave 8’s boss is [Vanguard]’s. All those that have endurance below 20%, go back to your city and prepare for the ninth and tenth waves!”
“Okay!”
……
Little Wolf, Yue Qing Qian, the General family and a bunch of damage dealers returned while I held my sword and defended our grounds, killing the Mountain Giants that came out of the city.
As a result, before this wave ended, a beautiful ring sounded in my ear –
“Ding!”
System Announcement: Congratulations, your guild 【Zhan Long] has leveled up, becoming a Level 4 guild and a new guild boost 【War Fortress] has been granted. All members gain 5% hidden defense and there can be a total of 3000 players in Zhan Long!
…..
“Great!” Ling Xiao Wu raised her Wanderer’s Bow and laughed, “Guild Master, our guild finally has 3000 people!”
I nodded, “Let’s recruit people now. Put half of the unofficial guild members into the Zhan Long camp and the other half into the Valiant Bravery Camp. They need the guild buffs.”
“Ok!”
To my side, the unofficial Zhan Long members quickly joined Zhan Long. The powerful dragon head emblem linked together in a sea as Zhan Long’s member count quickly rose to 1500+. After this battle, Zhan Long should be able to grow by another 700 and then with the power of Matcha and Yue Qing Qian, we can get to 3000 within 3 days.
Not long after, Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Yue Qing Qian, the people who were repairing their equipment, returned. At the same time, the system notification sound rang through the air. Finally, the eighth BOSS had been killed. Moreover, the player to beat it was Simple, [Vanguard]’s Vice Guild Master——
“Ding!”
System Notification: Congratulations to player Simple for successfully killing the eighth BOSS of the 【City of the Ancients] (Ba Huang City). Rewarded Charm +8, Experience raised by 80%, and the SS-skill ranked book, 【Ancient Demon Blade]!
……
“F*ck, where did the Ancient Demon Blade come from?” Li Mu gritted his teeth.
Matcha stared off into the distance, and after her inspection, replied, “There’s a type of Lv 65 Mage that can learn this SS-ranked skill. It summons the Ancient Demon Blade to attack a target within a 30 yard perimeter attack range. The attack’s power is correlated to the Mage’s attack power, and is equivalent to an extremely powerful magic AOE skill…..”
Wolf curled his hands into fists, “This means…that woman, Simple, is now a lot more terrifying…”
Old K clapped his hand on Wolf’s shoulder and laughed, “Last time you were PKed by her. Hasn’t Little Wolf already been scarred by her? Just hearing the names Simple and Mu Rong Yun makes you piss in your pants…”
Wolf glared at him, “Pfft, am I that type of person? Just you wait and see, there will come a day were Simple will run away like the wind at the sight of me….”
Fox chuckled, “We’ll wait for the day you become more powerful then. But first, you need to add some points in stamina. Otherwise, you’ll be killed in an instant by Simple’s magic. At this rate, she’ll never run away like the wind from you…..”
“Yea, I know….”
Assassins chose the 7 Agility, 1 Strength and 2 Endurance method to distribute stat points in order to increase their output damage and health. Wolf was a professional assassin, and so he naturally didn’t add all of his points into agility. An Assassin like that was too fragile, and lacked power as well. It made it more unlikely to be able to pick up weapons and equipment that had higher requirements as well.
The battleground did not need any clearing; the piles of Mountain Giants corpses were gradually being cleared. After battling eight waves, [Zhan Long] now had 700+ players left. Our numbers were extremely low, and it was hard to say if we could still endure the following 2 waves.
……
A group of people stared at the great doors in the distance, but as time passed, the metal doors still did not open, puzzling everyone.
“F*ck, it can’t be that there isn’t a ninth wave?” Old K lifted his axe.
“No, there’s definitely one….” Li Mu said.
“Then how it’s been 20 minutes, and yet it still hasn’t appeared?”
“Maybe it needs some preparations? Flights have delays, and even emergency firetrucks aren’t always timely. So what if these monsters are a bit late?”
“……”
……
It was at exactly that moment when a sharp caw could be heard from above the city’s walls. An enormous shadow appeared; it was a giant warhawk. On its back was a warhawk knight, carrying a spear and wearing a golden set of armor. These were the ninth wave’s monsters! The warhawk knight swept over the city walls, and directly charged toward our camp. Behind it, a dark cloud of other warhawk knights had appeared!
“Eh…”
Li Mu sharply inhaled, “Why do I feel like this is such a shitty situation….”
