Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Trapped Dragon Ascends to Heaven
The Yanhuang Legion was indeed a team under Dao Feng’s command, as efficient as any army, and this was an ergency assembly called on short notice.
"Now everyone, enter the secret realm and clear out the minor creatures to save so ti!" At that mont, Huang Yi issued the first command.
Following that, including Lin Yiqin and Dao Feng, everyone entered the mystic realm.
Very soon, over a thousand mbers of the Yanhuang Legion automatically lined up in formation and started to advance, unleashing a cascade of skill radiance as they began to clear the minor creatures on the first summit.
Next, they had to conquer both Pfister and the Zombie King, two major bosses, within an hour, when last night, achieving this had taken them nearly three hours!
Actually, it hadn’t yet been 24 hours since last night, and the dungeon had not been reset, which ideally ant no refresh should have occurred. However, because the team leader Dao Feng had logged off last night, whenever the team leader logs off, the system resets the dungeon, causing them to have to start over and fight once again. The Pope had truly taken this into account, which is why he decided to hastily aim for the Zombie King’s world first kill, catching Dao Feng off guard.
The advance was slow, as the team now only numbered 1/5 of last night’s force, which significantly reduced their output capability, resulting in a sluggish pace. Even Dao Feng, Lin Yiqin, and Dong Huan, among other high-ranking mbers, started to engage fully in clearing the minor creatures, deploying their own powerful skills.
"Instakill, I’ve enabled broadcast mode and have soone outside specifically watching the leaderboard, helping us keep an eye on the Pope Legion’s situation, and he will update us on their progress at any ti," reported Lin Yiqin to Huang Yi at that mont.
"Okay! I got it!" Huang Yi nodded.
As ti slowly passed, more people joined the team every second, and the numbers surged to over three thousand. The newly logged-in mbers teleported straight into the dungeon and caught up with Huang Yi and the other thousand, speeding up the advance.
Finally, they cleared all the minor creatures along the way and arrived before the first boss, Pfister. By then, the team’s numbers had risen to over 4,600, with fewer new additions joining the team, as even the most efficient of teams could not possibly summon every single person online—so people indeed had unavoidable real-life commitnts.
And the ten girls who were specifically healing Huang Yi yesterday were all present too, ready to provide him with dedicated healing just like last night. Huang Yi saw Ruoshui and gave her a slight nod.
"Squad leaders, bring in the necessary classes from the reserve team, we’ll wait one last minute, and once we hit five thousand people, we’ll comnce the battle!" Dao Feng then addressed everyone.
The squad leaders acted promptly, ssaging and coordinating with the reserve team mbers still on standby to fill the remaining vacancies in their classes.
Huang Yi currently had only 91 buffs on him, which was about a dozen less than yesterday; so buffs were exclusive to advanced or rare classes, and if those players weren’t online, those buffs wouldn’t co into play. The vulnerabilities of the Yanhuang Legion were evident in many ways, discernible from the number of buffs. The challenge of leading such a weakened force to secure the first kill of the Zombie King before the Pope Legion was unimaginably difficult.
Gradually, the influx of team mbers began to grow again. However, these were mostly new faces, likely reserve team mbers called in last minute, and their capabilities were sowhat lesser.
These reserve mbers quickly teleported into the secret realm, swiftly catching up with the main forces. Their faces were filled with excitent and pride. If it weren’t for the urgency of the situation, they would have had no chance to stand here and fight alongside the top mbers of the guild.
"Alright! We’ve reached five thousand mbers, Instakill, it’s all on you now!" Dao Feng spoke to Huang Yi, then turned his head to look at the entire team and announced, "From here on out, Instakill will command the entire team. We all follow his strategy—if anyone can’t comply, leave now!"
The five thousand mbers of the Yanhuang Legion stood orderly and quietly, with no objections, exhibiting strict discipline. At this very mont, with a single command from Huang Yi, they were ready to act without a frown, imdiately executing his orders.
As Huang Yi took command of the entire team, he glanced over the thousands of eager eyes. This was his first ti leading a super team of five thousand people, and it was the renowned Yanhuang Legion at that.
He looked around quickly and said, "We have less than an hour, it’s very urgent, so we’re not fighting the first boss, Pfister! Shortly, everyone will cross the bridge and head to the summit where the Zombie King is at top speed to clear out the minor creatures there."
"Hmm? What’s this detour strategy? Pfister’s aggro range covers the bridge entrance, there’s no way to bypass it, not even assassins can stealth their way through. This level has a super boss that ignores invisibility skills," Lin Yiqin questioned with a furrowed brow. Although he had passed command to Huang Yi, he still needed to be inford, as Huang Yi’s thod seed too peculiar. With his cautious nature, he wouldn’t act rashly without clarity.
The rest of the Yanhuang Legion mbers also looked at Huang Yi with puzzled expressions. They wanted to follow Huang Yi’s orders, but they didn’t know how to execute them—as charging in directly would an certain death.
"I’ll distract the BOSS to ensure he can’t attack you all. Just focus on making your way to the Zombie King’s summit and quickly clear out the lesser monsters there!" Huang Yi explained briefly.
"If we leave, what about you? If you don’t co with us, our crossing will be pointless," Dao Feng inquired, clearly unable to comprehend how Huang Yi might elude the BOSS’s assaults and successfully retreat to the Zombie King’s peak on his own.
"There’s no ti to explain now. Rest assured, I have a thod to get there!" Huang Yi remarked, then turned his attention away from the group and imdiately faced Fist, unleashing a skill—
"I declare, Dragonlance Pfister—dead!"
"Boom!" As his words ended, the sky abruptly darkened with dense clouds and fierce lightning. Two imnsely thick bolts of lightning instantly struck down, causing the whole day to flicker, demonstrating the formidable power of the heavens!
The next mont, these bolts of lightning struck the ground: one hit Huang Yi and the other hit Fist.
Afterward, both were forcibly dragged into the high skies, into a Void Battlefield, cut off from the outside world, where only the death of one party could permanently free them from this realm.
This skill was none other than Huang Yi’s Rare Class Exclusive Skill—Judgnt!
Now, the path was clear for the Yanhuang Legion; Fist, who had been guarding the bridge, was drawn into the sky and couldn’t stop them any longer.
"That’s the skill he used!" Dao Feng looked up at Huang Yi in the sky, with an ’I knew it’ expression, but he still couldn’t fathom how Huang Yi would manage to evade Fist’s attacks and keep pace with them.
"Everyone, speed across the bridge!" Lin Yiqin imdiately commanded, leading everyone to charge over the drawbridge and toward the summit where the Zombie King resided!
Huang Yi, now high above, had already switched to his most Agile Cat Form, dodging Fist’s furious attacks. Any hit from Fist would instantly kill him; he was essentially dancing before the Death God, risking his own life to buy ti for the Yanhuang Legion.
"Attention, Yanhuang Legion: The Pope Legion has just killed the Zombie King’s second form, with a casualty count of 184—a significant improvent over their previous training results!" Just then, a strange voice resounded from heaven and earth, presumably the broadcast mode that Lin Yiqin had ntioned. Soone outside the instance was keeping tabs on the leaderboard and updating the Yardhuang Legion on the Pope Legion’s progress.
Upon hearing this voice, a sense of urgency gripped the hearts of all Yanhuang Legion mbers, and they hastened their pace even more.
...
anwhile, the entire forum was in an uproar. The Pope’s sudden strike caught not only the Yanhuang Legion off guard but also took the whole world by surprise. Previously, everyone had assud the Pope Legion would reach their peak in two days, so any attempt to capture the Zombie King before then would be suicide. Yet, the Pope had chosen to act now and even displayed strength far beyond any previous attempts!
At this mont, the initial post that broke the news had beco the hottest thread on the forum, with countless forum users flooding in to post their thoughts. Chinese players were lambasting the Pope for his cunning and shalessness, while players from the United States were praising the Pope for his strategic depth. The two sides bickered endlessly, while players from other nations mostly enjoyed watching the drama unfold.
Right then, the author of the post updated it with a new ssage—
"Based on the latest intel, the Yanhuang Legion has reacted swiftly, hastily summoning mbers to log in for an impromptu charge at the Zombie King’s world first kill! Presently, Dao Feng, Lin Yiqin, Dong Huan, Little Zongzi, and the super-powered ally Instakill have all entered the secret realm. So core mbers couldn’t log in on ti and have been replaced by backup team mbers. Hurriedly assembled and underpowered, the Yanhuang Legion’s strength has greatly diminished. To kill both Fist and the Zombie King in one hour is an impossible task! anwhile, the Pope Legion has already slain the second form of the Zombie King and will secure the first kill in a few dozen minutes. The Yanhuang Legion’s attempt is bound to fail!"
The author of the post quite plainly stated his opinion, which even the least discerning could see left no hope for the Yanhuang Legion.
...
Elsewhere, in the real world, nurous dia outlets had quickly responded by interrupting their regular broadcasts with this news, catching the attention of many. At this mont, lots of people were either in class or at work. Although they couldn’t access The Second World, they were incessantly refreshing web pages, closely following the developnts of this event. (To be continued.
