Chapter 157: The Curious Hydra King
Although the Nian Beast which spawned in the Burial Grounds had a very high defense and health, it could not hold for more than ten minutes when faced with the attack of millions of players.
anwhile, a ga ssage appeared in the players’ minds.
The players had either received soul coin rewards or weapons and equipnt. None of the players received the special award this ti, which made them feel pititful. However, they knew that they still had a chance since the event had just begun.
Seeing the smiles on the players’ faces, Lu Wu also smiled with joy.
He had worked hard in advance to create a festive atmosphere of Lunar New Year for the players in the ga. The Mansion of the Dead which was originally surrounded by a cold atmosphere was now red with decorations like Chinese-style ornants, lucky banners, and lanterns. It was filled with the Lunar New Year’s atmosphere.
However, the Mansion of the Dead was basically empty due to the launching of the Lunar New Year events, and all of the players had stepped out of the Mansion of the Dead to work hard for their potential rewards.
The players were very occupied that night. Aside from looking for hidden Lunar New Year’s red envelopes with lucky money inside and killing wild monsters in order to collect the fashion fragnts, they had to rush to attack the Nian Beast which was set to respawn randomly every hour.
The whole Land of Beiqi was full of players scurrying around.
The players’ movent had naturally attracted the attention of many Beiqi forces.
However, they had beco accustod to the weird behaviors of this new force. They were fine with it as long as they were not provoking them.
……
Ascension Zone, East Side of Beiqi.
The Hydra King lowered his head while devouring a fanged boar. He raised his head suddenly when the boar was half-eaten.
A crowd of players a distance away was rushing toward his direction.
Although the Hydra King was not intimidated by this new force of Beiqi, he had no intention to ss with it.
The gars had done two things that concerned him.
Firstly, they killed Cha Na who was not to be underestimated although he was only a Ghost General because he was about to break through the Ghost King’s Territory. The new force’s ability to kill Cha Na implied that they could beat soone at the level of a Ghost King.
Secondly, the players prevented the invasion of evil.
Although it was done with the help of the Rock Ghost King, the fact that these players were able to negotiate with the Rock Ghost King was remarkable.
After all, he knew the Rock Ghost King’s character well. To be able to talk to him, the gars must have obviously caught his attention on the basis of their abilities.
Although the Hydra King was confident that he could achieve these two things as well since he was already a Ghost King and he had the strength similar to the gars. He assud that the gars would be at the sa level as a Ghost King although he was not clear of their exact strength.
Therefore, the Hydra King had never taken the initiative to provoke the new force in Beiqi.
However, with such an extensive attack, the Hydra King realized that a war was about to happen. He imdiately raised his head with a furious expression.
It was impossible for him to give up on the Ascension Zone since he had been staying in this area for many years. Since the players had the guts to invade his territory, then they could only settle it with war.
The Hydra King let out a loud roar and ascended into the air when the players stepped into the Ascension Zone. He was about to sweep over the players.
However, the following scene made him stunned.
These millions of players did not even bother him at all. They were shouting and screaming in the open space while demonstrating various skills.
Also, they seed to be in a very fierce battle.
The Hydra King was stupefied upon witnessing the scene. He imdiately looked at the area where the players attacked to look for their target. However, no matter how he looked, there was no other creature in that area.
The performance of the players was so real as if they were really slaughtering each other. The Hydra King rubbed his eyes and fell into an incomprehensible state.
Lu Wu could not help but laugh after looking at that scene.
The Nian Beast was condensed by an artifact so it was not an actual object. It was just like an illusion which only the players could see. The Hydra King clearly misunderstood sothing here.
Realizing that the players’ target was not him, the Hydra King paused mid-air and he did not launch an attack on the players. He only stared at the players while trying to make sense of what they were doing.
Ti passed… the Hydra King was unsure whether he was blind or the players below were blind.
As a Ghost King, he could see even the tiny worms wriggling on the ground clearly although he was in mid-air. Moreover, he had nine heads. Even if a pair of his eyes had really gone blind, it was impossible for his remaining sixteen eyes to be blind, too.
However, there were millions of players and ten million eyes below. Comparing the total number of eyes, the Hydra King thought that he was more likely to be blind.
After spectating for about ten minutes, the players who were attacking frantically stopped their attacks at the sa ti with smiles on their faces.
Then, the players dispersed into different directions like a tide.
The Hydra King was utterly confused.
Staring at the ground which was plowed by the players’ spells, the Hydra King could not control his curiosity and flew over.
He then checked the ground carefully. He even plowed the land and searched all over it. However, he could not find a single corpse except for a few small bugs.
It made him even more baffled.
The Hydra King who had no idea what was going on looked at the half-eaten fanged boar in a distance. He had lost his appetite.
It was terrible when one’s curiosity was not fed with an answer.
……
Beiqi’s Mansion of the Dead.
Two figures went online and appeared in the empty safe zone.
Another figure appeared in the resurrection point.
Looking at Murphy and Little Polo in front of him, Hu He grit his teeth while stomping.
“Enough. It’s Lunar New Year, can’t we just play peacefully? Is there an enmity between us that you guys have to kill the event that I created?”
Murphy and Little Polo did not reply. They only stared at Hu He who was dancing at the resurrection point.
“Fine, just wait and see when I refine a Hiderigami. I will surely teach you guys a lesson.”
Facing the persistent assassin couple, Hu He felt like he was about to get murdered.
He initially thought that it was a good opportunity for him to escape when all players left the Mansion of the Dead. Who would have thought that this would happen?
“Can’t you guys just give a way out?” Hu He spoke again.
Murphy and Little Polo still remained silent and stared at him.
“We’ll see!” Hu He said and stomped again before he went offline.
Little Murphy heaved a sigh of relief after Hu He left.
“Let’s complete our quests. I don’t think that he will be online anyti soon.”
“Alright!”
As the two were preparing to leave the safe zone, a Skill Instructor carried so of the Wood Spirit Clan’s wine and walked past them with a smile.
“Wait, Instructor!” Murphy called out to the Skill Instructor all of a sudden.
The Skill Instructor turned his head in puzzlent.
“Instructor, we would like to master the Praj?ā Scarification!”
The Skill Instructor remained silent.
“Instructor, you must be familiar with the skill. We really wish to master the Praj?ā Scarification. We have long wanted to ask for your insight.”
Looking at the two’s sincere faces, the Skill Instructor smiled awkwardly.
“I don’t know about that!”
“No, you are so well-skilled, it’s impossible for you to be unfamiliar with the Praj?ā Scarification. There must be so hidden quest to be completed in order to trigger the tutorial, so please assign us the quest. We will try our best to complete it no matter how tough it is.”
Murphy and Little Polo’s facial expression was sincere as they were humbly asking for advice.
The Skill Instructor was in tears internally at the mont. To be frank, he wanted to master that skill, too, but he really couldn’t.
