This should be the apse of the branch in Tianlong City. Xiaofeng followed the high priest and entered this place. He saw a knight force affiliated to the temple. And they were training and the battle-cry was deafening.
"Your Excellency Mr. High Priest, you seem to be anxious. Does the dark force come back again?"
A bright knight with the name of Captain Bolton on his head came out of the ranks and asked the high priest eagerly.
"This brave adventurer ritualist went to the Muguang Forest to collect the red sun fruit for you and he found that..."
The high priest quickly told Captain Bolton what Xiaofeng had told him.
"These dark races are so sinister!"
Captain Bolton was very strong. He was wearing shiny silver armor. Although he looked pale and weak, he was still very angry after hearing what the high priest had said. Then he looked at Xiaofeng with appreciation.
"You"ve done a good job! You"re a brave adventurer and your courage and faith will be praised by G.o.d!"
Xiaofeng had waited for a long time but the captain only praised him without giving him any reward. So Xiaofeng was not pleased.
"Your Excellency Mr. High Priest, I want to go to the Muguang Forest and kill those dirty dark creatures!"
Captain Bolton said to the high priest with a knight"s salute. Xiaofeng secretly used advanced scouting on him but only saw a series of question marks. He didn"t know whether Captain Bolton was stronger than the Big Lich.
"Captain Bolton, your injury is not fully recovered, so you can"t act rashly. You can go to the forest after you fully recover. This is the red sun fruit brought back by the adventurer ritualist."
"Alright. Although there is not much of them, the fruit can help me to restore my strength within today."
After taking the red sun fruit, Captain Bolton was kinder to Xiaofeng.
"Brave Dad, are you willing to lead me to the place where the Big Lich was last seen after I restore my strength?"
At the same time, Xiaofeng also heard the system prompt.
"Hey! Do you accept the storyline task - The Bright Leadership? Introduction: you need to escort Captain Bolton to the Muguang Forest to kill the Big Lich. If Captain Bolton dies, this mission fails."
The storyline task didn"t have any difficulty warning. But the two objects were high-level NPC and BOSS. Xiaofeng couldn"t even find their attributes by using the scouting skill, which meant that this task must be extremely difficult. But Xiaofeng didn"t care about this and he accepted this task without any hesitation.
"Of course, it"s my honor to help him."
"Hey! You"ve accepted the storyline task - The Bright Leadership. Please come back here 5 hours later and Captain Bolton will give you the next tip about this task."
After Xiaofeng accepted the task, Captain Bolton returned to the knight force. The high priest also wanted to leave and Xiaofeng hurried to catch up with him.
"Mr. High Priest, where is the transmission array of the temple?"
"Oh, do you want to go to the central temple? Brave Dad, I believe that with your devout faith, you can accept the baptism of the holy light in the central temple."
The high priest also became kinder to Xiaofeng. But he and Captain Bolton called him as Brave Dad, which made Xiaofeng embarra.s.sed.
"No. I want to go back to the Novice Village. You always call it as the land of exile."
Xiaofeng hadn"t even heard of the central temple, so he immediately said to the high priest.
"Well, I see. Please follow me."
The high priest personally led Xiaofeng to the transmission array of the branch in the Tianlong City. He didn"t expect that this was quite close to the bind of this City.
Guided by the high priest, Xiaofeng found the transmission array without being stopped. The priest in charge of the transmission array greeted the high priest respectfully and sent Xiaofeng back without checking his Ring of faith or the trial certificate.
"Hey! You have entered No. 9191 Novice Village."
The white light flashed and Xiaofeng saw huge crowds of people, which was a quite familiar scene to him.
This Novice Village was Xiaofeng"s birthplace and he could only be sent back here, which was normal. But to his surprise, he was standing at the bind and countless people appeared around him. This was completely different from before. The bind was the quietest place in the Novice Village before he had left.
The Novice Village was still noisy. But it wasn"t as crowded as before when Myth started to open service. Besides, there were also different types of equipment, which looked colorful.
Xiaofeng didn"t stay here any longer. He greeted Priest Ange and went straight to the direction of the poisonous swamp. At the same time, he also sent a message to the Nicholas brothers who were waiting for him.
"What? You come back to the Novice Village? But you"ve changed your profession, right? Why do you come back here?"
"Are you killed by someone? No, it"s impossible. There are only several players who have transferred their professions. Did you fail to kill the BOSS?"
"Bro Xiao! I know that you don"t want to leave me! Come on! Please help us to finish the trial mission!"
The Nicholas brothers were surprised while Qian Duoduo was excited.
He couldn"t tell them the details on the phone. So Xiaofeng told them that they could talk after getting together and then he rushed to the entrance to the instance zone as quickly as possible.
After a morning, a lot of senior players had reached level 10. On the level list of the Huaxia District, Xiaofeng still ranked first and he was at level 12, which was amazingly high. But all the other top 10,000 players were at level 10.
When Xiaofeng arrived at the poisonous swamp, he was shocked by the spectacular scenery.
The poisonous swamp was a barrier. There were a large number of players on the central island, besides, thousands of players were standing outside of the swamp. Several entrances to the tree bridge were blocked by the players.
"I need a priest to send me to the entrance of the instance zone. I"ll give him/her one gold coin!"
"The Pa.s.sers-by Squad wants a 10th-level priest! Let"s go to the island and work together to complete the trail mission!"
"Please get out of the way! Dama Jindao Guild wants to go to the island! We"ll kill anyone who sneaks into our ranks!"
The poisonous swamp was the first barrier. Players couldn"t resist the damages of the poisonous gas and rushed to the island unless it had enough Health Points. So ordinary players could only rush to the island with the help of a priest.
Those shield warriors whose equipment was not good enough couldn"t land on the island, let alone those delicate professions. Moreover, there were also Poisonous Crocodiles emerging to disturb the players from time to time.
What"s more, even if a priest agreed to heal you and send you to the island safely, the priest itself couldn"t land on the island. As a result, few priests were willing to send you unless you could give them gold coins.
Players kept on walking on the tree bridge, but most of them would become corpses in the swamp, turned into white light, and be sent to the Novice Village for resurrection. That was the reason why Xiaofeng had seen many players being resuscitated at the bind before.
Only those big guilds or strong teams with many priests could successfully land on the island. Without exception, all those who managed to land on the island would look back at the many players around the swamp with obvious complacency and superiority.
"Please get out of the way, I want to go to the island."
There were too many people. But most of them were still below level 10 and they came here to see the fun. This place was too crowded and Xiaofeng squeezed into the nearest tree bridge with great difficulty.
"Stop pushing, OK? Everyone here wants to go to the island! But I don"t think you can succeed!"
The players who were standing beside the tree bridge said impatiently. After finding that Xiaofeng was alone, he became more disdainful.
"Hey! Do you want to go to the entrance of the instance zone by yourself? You are still wearing the newbie suit! Are you mad?"
Xiaofeng ignored him and didn"t want to waste time here. So he stepped on the tree bridge and ran to the central island.
"Look at him! He"s not afraid of death! Let"s wait and see! He"ll be killed and sent back in an instant."
The player who teased Xiaofeng looked at him with disdain. He also invited other players around him to enjoy this play.
"Let"s make a bet. I believe that he will be killed in 30 seconds."
"30 seconds? No! I"m sure that he will definitely be killed within 20 seconds! Look! He"s still wearing the newbie suit! He must be a newbie who wants to join in the fun."
"No! You"re overrating him by saying 20 seconds! Maybe he will be sent back to the Novice Village by the Poisonous Crocodile in the next second."
"Yes! Haha! He might directly be killed by the monster instead of the poisonous gas!"
These gloating players crossed their arms over their chests, watched Xiaofeng, and taunted him.
But soon, their smiles disappeared.
Because 30 seconds had pa.s.sed and Xiaofeng was in the middle of the tree bridge now. The Poisonous Crocodiles that appeared from time to time were also left behind by him.
"Have you noticed... It seems that he doesn"t take any drugs..."
"Maybe he"s immune to the poisonous damages."
"No! His HP has been reduced! But he still has many Health Points!"
"What? He"s suffered from so many poisonous gases and only lost a small part of his HP! Is he a milch cow?
"...I noticed that the light from the weapons in his hands seems to be silver light!"
"Gee! It"s a silver light! He has a silver weapon!"
"Wow! He"s a master! We missed this opportunity! He"s wearing a fashionable dress!"
"We not only missed this opportunity but also mocked him..."
"Would he retaliate against us?"
"I must leave and level up... You can continue to see the fun..."
"Wait for me! I also want to level up..."
Xiaofeng, who successfully landed on the island, added a holy light to himself and then walked to the entrance to the instance zone in the center.
There were already hundreds of players on the central island waiting to enter the instance zone. With so many players present, Xiaofeng couldn"t find any 10th-level elite monster - Secret Cave Zombie. Even if one of them appeared occasionally, it would be overwhelmed by countless skills and attacks in an instant.
"Bro Xiao! We"re here!"
However, these hundreds of players all looked worried and no one paid attention to Xiaofeng who had just landed on the island. But Qian Duoduo couldn"t sit still. She looked around and noticed Xiaofeng immediately and then she called his name.
The quiet crowd looked at Qian Duoduo with disaffection. But they said nothing after finding that this was a beautiful girl. Then they looked at the direction of Xiaofeng.
"President! I find the healer!"
"Lord! He"s the man we want to kill!"
In an instant, two groups of players became excited and stared at him.
They were members of the Midsummer Guild and the Doomsday League. Midsummer Rose and Doomsday Law G.o.d were present.
"Don"t act rashly, we don"t have enough people."
Midsummer Rose and Doomsday Law G.o.d ordered with a low voice at the same time. Looking at the several players behind them, they dared not to fight with Xiaofeng and could only suppress their anger. They clearly knew that Xiaofeng was strong and skilled.
There were not many elite players in their guilds that had reached level 10. Besides, most of the 10th-level players were inside the instance zone.
Xiaofeng also immediately noticed that some people were staring at him. He looked up and laughed. Most of his enemies were present.
