Chapter 503: Eight Pa.s.sages
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Bai was quite unhappy.
He had killed many monsters.
However, since they did not give experience, they would not drop any equipment either.
It was understandable that no equipment dropped.
After all, there were NPCs here.
For NPCs, this was something that they could not understand.
In their eyes, these monsters were all kinds of demonic beasts from the demon race!
They just killed the demonic beasts without thinking much about it!
As for gaining experience and equipment from killing demonic beasts… Well, this was beyond their understanding!
Therefore, as long as there were NPCs around, monsters would not drop equipment!
As for the EXP, it could only mean that the monsters here did not give players EXP.
However, many of these NPCs knew that players could revive!
It seemed that they had already received an explanation for this, but it was uncertain who explained it to them.
In their knowledge, these people were adventurers from the Otherworld. They were protected by a special law.
Each of them would not truly die the first time they died.
There did not seem to be anything wrong with this!
The adventurers from the Otherworld had suddenly landed on their continent. They could also leave their continent at any time, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
It did not matter.
Anyway, Chu Bai did not care about the equipment dropped by these monsters. It was just a shame not getting the EXP.
However, if he could get something good, this trip would not be in vain.
In this round, quite a number of players and NPCs died.
The key reason was because of the more powerful and higher-grade heavenly, celestial, and divine emperor monsters!
Although there were NPCs dealing with the heavenly and celestial monsters, these monsters had AoE attack skills. Moreover, they were all plant-type monsters, so they basically had skills like Poison Powder.
When they faced stronger NPCs, they would use all kinds of ultimate moves, which could inadvertently kill some players.
Especially these divine emperor monsters!
Only a few divine emperor NPCs were fighting against them, but they were just fighting.
Any random AoE skill from these monsters could instantly kill a group of players!
However, the players also understood one thing.
The battlefield was so big that they definitely had to stay away from the divine emperor NPCs.
The divine emperor experts could not do anything to the monsters of the same level, especially since the monsters could instantly recover their HP to full.
As a result, these divine emperor-level NPCs could only slightly attract the attention of these monsters, but they could not stop the monsters’ attacks or stop them from changing their positions.
No less than 30,000 people died in this battle!
80% of them must have died in the hands of these divine emperor monsters.
Now, there were only divine emperor monsters left.
To the players, the only thing they could do was quickly pull away and watch the expert NPCs fight these monsters from afar.
“Everyone, it’s almost time. Let’s work together and slowly kill these divine emperor monsters. Let’s not think that our progress is too slow. The situation is already good.”
Jian Sanfeng shouted.
“Yes, two people will hold them back. The others will gather their strength.”
Then, a group of top-notch NPCs gathered together.
They collectively gathered their ultimate moves.
The terrifying power directly blasted toward the first victim.
Instant kill!
They were existences of the same level, and many of the NPCs here were stronger than divine emperor-level monsters.
With so many of them working together, it was normal for the monster to be instantly killed.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Although it was quite difficult, these NPCs were still very powerful.
It might take some time, but at least it would be fine.
This obstacle was considered over.
After a long time…
All the monsters were cleared.
At the same time, a pa.s.sage leading to the front appeared.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief!
“Everyone!”
Jian Sanfeng stood up and said, “I’m afraid that the road ahead will be even more dangerous. We’ve already suffered quite a lot of losses, but we must work together to go deeper. According to my experience, after encountering a few dangers in a row, we’re nearing the place where we can find treasures.”
Everyone was extremely excited.
“Now, everyone can stop and rest for a while. After resting, we’ll continue our journey!”
The players were also very happy.
Not only did they need to heal, but they also needed to recover some mana. When their skills were no longer on cooldown, they would have more confidence.
About 20 minutes later…
As the group of experts stood up, everyone walked forward again.
Qin Wushuang had yet to display her strength!
After all, some of her power came from the Blood Emperor Palace’s cultivation technique. She definitely could not display her power.
She still could not attract too much attention for the time being.
Everyone left this place and pa.s.sed through the pa.s.sageway. Suddenly, they entered a world of ice and snow.
There was a tall mountain in front of them. There was a huge cave in the mountain, and no one knew where it led to.
However, it was obvious that they had to go into the cave.
The cave was filled with ice.
However…
There was more than one cave here!
With a rough glance, there were a total of eight caves. They all led to different directions, but they were not too far apart!
Which cave should they go into?
Everyone fell into deep thought.
The players were even more confused.
They could only listen to the conversation between these NPCs for the time being.
“Sect Master Jian, do you have any suggestions?”
Someone asked.
Jian Sanfeng looked at the eight caves and frowned.
“I don’t know which of the eight paths we should take, nor do 1 know if any of them are dead ends.”
Jian Sanfeng said.
“But obviously, this is to give us a choice.”
“Why don’t we all take the same cave?”
“Heh, how can we all choose the same one? Even if you agree, many people won’t.”
Many people did not speak.
He was right.
Why would many people not agree to go together?
The reason was simple.
They had already experienced the danger in the first two rounds. Nearly 100,000 people died in these two rounds!
Up until now, they had not obtained any benefits!
Now, they were given a choice.
What would they think?
Of course, they were worried about whether any of these eight paths would lead to a dead end!
However, who knew what to choose? n.o.body knew!
In that case, this was purely a matter of luck!
The key was that there were so many dangers ahead. It was time to give them some benefits, right?
There must be treasures among these eight choices!
As for the number of treasures or the level of danger, they definitely differed according to the cave they chose.
If they all went into the same cave, their chances would be even smaller.
Therefore, they wanted to split up.
They felt that it was almost time for them to get something good!
If they were to go into the same cave together, with so many people and so many experts, what kind of benefits would they be able to get?
