Chapter 1136: The Dead Spirit Gate
To deal with small groups like Quan Zhen Sect, ambush was the most effective method. To take revenge, Feng Yun Realm did not hesitate to spend a large sum of money to hire professional experts to help him deal with Quan Zhen Sect.
No matter what, Fearless’ tactics were still on a higher level. Sanguine Alliance’s sudden appearance messed up Ratty and the rest’s plan.
Luckily, Ratty was on his guard and felt something was up right before Sanguine Alliance appeared so he had escaped before that, or else, he would be just like the mercenaries – exterminated completely by Sanguine Alliance who was on Quan Zhen Sect’s side.
As we know, Quan Zhen Sect was a bunch of bored dudes looking for things to do so they took every revenge they had. As the mastermind of this, Twelve Celestial Bodies’ deaths were definitely more painful than the rest.
In the state of chaos, Ratty brought his subordinates to sneak out of the city. They ran until they saw no one.
Being hurdled by tens of thousands of people was not something everyone had been through. Along the way, Tiger and the rest experienced what panic and helplessness felt like.
After panicking, Twelve Celestial Bodies all upsetly scolded, “F*ck, how shameless of them to get backup!”
“Right, d.a.m.n it, Sanguine Alliance is actually Quan Zhen Sect’s ally. They scared the s.h.i.+t out of me… These b*stards are in cahoots!”
How great, a bunch of guys who planned an ambush was scolding others for being shameless. This was exactly a pot calling the kettle black.
Of course, if such scolding was useful, Quan Zhen Sect would have been cursed to death long ago. Twelve Celestial Bodies were just doing it to feel better.
After their emotions quietened, everyone calmed down slowly and Tiger asked after some thought, “Then what do we do now? Go back to kill them?”
Twelve Celestial Bodies intended to scare Quan Zhen Sect but in the end, Chen Long was killed and even a few of their experts from Kingdom of h.e.l.l were killed. Not a single mercenary was left alive. This was a cla.s.sic case of losing more than what they hoped to gain.
Twelve Celestial Bodies were proud men so being played like this made it hard for them to swallow their anger.
“What’s there to return for!” Ratty heard him then said angrily, “Our ident.i.ties have been exposed. If we go back again, it is unsure who will be killing who.”
“Then what? Our battle tactic…”
Everyone was at a loss. Sanguine Alliance was all to blame for suddenly appearing and messing up their plan.
“What rubbish battle tactic!” Ratty said, “There has never been a fixed battle tactic. Reacting to the circ.u.mstances is the highest order of thinking.”
“Then what should we do next?” everyone asked.
Ratty calmly replied, “Return to Salat City! Once we are on our own territory, it won’t be up to them anymore!”
…
Sanguine Alliance’s players were pretty efficient at doing things. In just a while, Sanguine Warflag received a series of coordinates and sent them to Fearless.
Looking at the message with Twelve Celestial Bodies’ coordinates, Fearless frowned and said, “These guys are quite vigilant. They are already outside the city.”
“Outside the city?” Sanguine Warflag asked puzzledly, “What are they doing? Should we go after them?”
“No need!” Fearless waved his hand and said, “The map area is too big outside the city. It might not be an advantage to have so many people. Furthermore, they should be headed to Salat City. There’s too many of you. We will handle the follow-up from here.”
“Salat City? You want to chase them across cities? This isn’t feasible…”
Hearing Salat City, Sanguine Warflag frowned.
Chasing across main cities was a step over boundaries. Furthermore, they were going to cross factions. If they were not careful, they might be surrounded and beaten up. It was not that Sanguine Warflag did not trust Quan Zhen Sect, it was that no matter how good Quan Zhen Sect was, in other people’s territory, they would not have the homeground advantage. Moreover, w.a.n.g Yu was not around. If they cross the border recklessly, they would be in trouble.
No matter what, they were old acquaintances so Sanguine Warflag reminded him out of obligation.
“It’s alright!” Fearless laughed and said, “As long as we know how to react to the circ.u.mstances, we won’t lose out no matter where we are. Just leave a few people behind to help me check on the coordinates will do!”
After speaking, Fearless waved at the rest of Quan Zhen Sect and said, “Let’s go! To Salat City, for revenge!”
“En!”
Quan Zhen Sect nodded with determination and followed behind Fearless.
Seeing how Fearless was determined to kill, Sanguine Warflag was not in the position to stop him. After wis.h.i.+ng him well, he ordered the few players at the Magician Academy to add Fearless as their friend to provide him with Ratty and the rest’s coordinates at real-time.
In the quest, w.a.n.g Yu and the other three of them reached the entrance of the Dead Spirit City.
Upon reaching the entrance, after a few of them saw clearly that it was the Dead Spirit City’s main entrance, they were all stunned. This main entrance of the Dead Spirit City had a pile of white bones blocking in front of it solidly and so tight that there was no slight gap in between them.
This was no main entrance; it was basically a city door-blocker.
As the job with the greatest judgement amongst the four of them, w.a.n.g Yu walked over and pushed the bones but they did not move at all. They were extremely firm.
w.a.n.g Yu squinted his eyes then strongly punched over.
“Boom!”
After a boom, the white bones did not even wobble, not a single flake dropped.
Just then, w.a.n.g Yu spoke with some thoughts, “This is not a destructible scene. Everyone, look around to see if there are any traps.”
“Traps?”
Mystery Observer and the other two heard him and began looking around… However, the surroundings of Dead Spirit City were pretty direct, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
After the four of them looked for a while, they still found nothing so they returned to the main entrance empty-handed.
“Did you find anything?” w.a.n.g Yu asked.
“Nope…”
The three of them were helpless. Everything here could be seen in one look. Was there a need to ask?
“Impossible…”
w.a.n.g Yu scratched his head. He thought and sighed at the same time, “If only Fearless was here, he would definitely know what to do.”
Just as w.a.n.g Yu was pondering over how they could enter the city, Five Flagtree suddenly pointed at where Hasma and Bradley were standing and said, “What is that?”
“???”
The other three heard him and looked at where Five Flagtree was pointing at. At where the two BOSS were standing, they each had a circular skull platform. As their colours were the same as the ground, and because of the lighting in the quest, they could not tell without looking at it intensely.
She was a woman after all, so good at details.
After seeing the skull platform, they stride over and finally saw clearly what it looked like.
The two skull platforms looked exactly the same. Both had a circular carved hole right in the middle.
Based on its shape, the mosaic hole looked like a pair of rings.
w.a.n.g Yu saw them and casually took out the two Rings of Life and Death they got from the two BOSS just now. Just then, the rings in w.a.n.g Yu’s hand had a hidden attribute appear below.
Departed Spirit Secret Key: Place both rings on the Skeleton Throne at the same time to summon the Departed Spirit Lock.
“At the same time?”
w.a.n.g Yu rubbed his chin and pa.s.sed one of the rings to Five Flagtree then said, “I’ll count to three then put it in at the same time as me.”
“Ok!” Five Flagtree opened her palm to receive the ring.
“One”
“Two”
“Three!”
“Pata!”
After the two of them placed the rings into the carved skull platforms, a weird-looking lock appeared on the door of skeletons.
