Chapter 85 - Reaching the Destination, Stunned Players (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After walking out of the City Lord’s area, Lorne saw that there were still people coming in and going out of Iron Skull City.
Most of the high-level players were already gone.
All of them headed to the ruins of the war with the large guilds.
As for ordinary players?
This mission was not something they could participate in.
The minimum requirement to accept a mission was to reach Level 20. Clearly, their strength was not enough.
In the square, Lorne opened the system map.
Due to the relatively far location of the ruins of the war, it would take two to three days to walk there alone. Many areas would be passed by, and there were even Level 50 danger zones inside.
Therefore, the path needed to be planned.
From the map, the ruins of war were located in the northwest of Iron Skull City. There were several very dangerous areas in the middle.
To reach their destination safely, they had to bypass these dangerous areas.
Otherwise, if they encountered high-level monsters, they would be killed.
Moreover, there were no resurrection points in these forests.
So once someone died, they would return to Iron Skull City. To return to their previous area, they would need to walk for another two or three days.
There were also ravines, valleys, and cliffs that needed to be avoided.
It was because of this that Lorne was not in a hurry.
He stood in the city and carefully checked the map, planning his own path.
About ten minutes later, a winding path appeared on the system map interface.
His idea was to first set off from the main city and head northwest. First, he would pass through the Level 20 map [Clear Wind Valley], then go around [Seven Stars Valley], and then cross the vast Barbarian Forest. He would be able to leave the forest in two to three days and reach the edge of his destination.
This was a slightly more risky path, because the Barbarian Forest had monsters between Level 20 and Level 40.
However, Lorne did not mind it too much. Even if he could not defeat a Level 40 monster, it was relatively easy for him to escape.
After determining the route, Lorne began the journey that would take several days.
…
Two days later, the team that had set off on the night of the event had already arrived at their destination.
At the edge of the ruins of the war, there was an expeditionary army camp. It was where the Empire Army had been stationed more than a thousand years ago.
After the war ended, in order to prevent the undead mages from wantonly resurrecting the dead in the ruins of the war, the empire had sent legions here.
However, because of the increasing frequency of wars at the border recently, all the internal legions were transferred to the front line, and this huge camp was abandoned.
Now that the players had entered this region, this abandoned army camp had also become a temporary resting place for them.
The guilds chose to regroup their teams here and left the supply group here.
Because the journey was long and there were no resurrection points nearby, supplies were very important.
After leaving the transport personnel behind, the high-level players of the large guilds rushed into the forest ahead.
But as they entered the map’s range…
“Damn! What’s going on? Why am I poisoned?”
“Where did this debuff come from?”
“Why did my attack power decrease?”
“My attributes are also falling, all of them are decreasing at the same time!”
“Damn, how can we still play like this!”
“Play my ass!”
The players were shocked by the sudden buff.
The effect of this negative buff was very terrifying. After being poisoned, it would cause the player’s entire attributes to be weakened. As time passed, the attributes would decrease more and more.
The eventual result was -30% in all attributes.
Seeing this scene, all the players became hysterical.
It had to be known that just traveling to this place took nearly three days!
When they reached the destination, they realized that they did not have the ability to kill the monsters here.
