In the southern part of the Dark Mountain Range, near the boundary of the largest map where players were active.
Moonlight Jasmine teased the newly contracted Blue Dragon with a piece of demon beast jerky, unable to stop the wild grin on her face.
"Jasmine, congratulations! I knew you’d definitely be chosen!"
Caesar looked a bit enviously at the adorable young dragon tumbling playfully around Moonlight Jasmine.
*He wondered if it was the young dragon or Moonlight Jasmine he envied.*
"Just lucky, it seems colorful dragons prefer combat players. I was just lucky."
Moonlight Jasmine replied.
"Speaking of which, dragons really are a gold race, right? It hasn’t been long since they hatched, and they’re already level 40. And I heard Li Mu and their dragon upgraded to silver in less than a month; it’s really terrifying."
Caesar marveled slightly.
"That’s why they’re sought after by players everywhere."
The two chatted while teasing the little dragon, looking rather like a family of three...
However, just as they were bonding with the little Blue Dragon, they suddenly felt sothing at the sa ti.
Both players simultaneously raised their heads, looking at the system interface.
Caesar’s eyes showed a hint of surprise,
"Huh? A system quest has appeared, is this... a major war mission?"
"It’s the storyline quest for Death Desert!"
Moonlight Jasmine said, a bit excited.
At the sa ti, they heard the cheers of excited players in the distance.
Both looked instinctively towards the source of the sound.
It was the veteran players gathered at the boundary of the Dark Mountain Range, waiting for the system mission activation, just like them.
At the sa ti, they saw many players imdiately pack up their gear and, like excited, unrestrained huskies, they ran and jumped towards the map boundary...
But this ti, there was no longer an invisible "air wall" blocking their way.
The cheering players crossed into previously impassable territories and entered the final road leading from the Dark Mountain Range to Death Desert.
Many of them quickly disappeared out of sight...
"The map’s open."
Moonlight Jasmine murmured.
"Such a pity... Only level 40 players can take on the first-stage mission. I’m not quite there yet, I guess I can’t do it."
Caesar said with a bitter smile.
"No rush, according to the quest system’s description, the second-stage storyline should be at level 30. Hurry and level up, aim for 40, so we can team up for the second-stage storyline."
Moonlight Jasmine said.
"That’s the only way."
Caesar felt a bit regretful.
*He had planned to focus on being a priest. Without storyline quests, grinding monsters wasn’t as effective as leveling up through preaching in the Oros Half-plane.*
When they were talking, they suddenly heard an even louder cheer...
The ground began to rumble, and a cloud of dust rose in the distance.
A formation of over a hundred players in neat lines rushed grandly into the newly opened map...
Their professions varied, all above level 40, adorned in splendid gear, riding on various demon beasts.
The leader was an Elf Warrior with silver status, riding a Green Dragon.
Behind him, a player held up a flag of a double-headed black eagle.
"That flag... It’s the pioneering team of the First Legion."
Moonlight Jasmine said.
It wasn’t clear which guild had started it, but during the Underworld war, guilds began designing unique legion flags for themselves.
Then, other guilds started following suit.
The double-headed eagle flag was the banner of the First Legion, one of the four major guilds.
Caesar nodded slightly.
While waiting here, they saw many guild flags, like the Autobot Guild’s Magic Cube Flag, Nature’s Heart’s Iris Flag, and the ngng Committee’s Black Dragon Flag, etc...
"So... are you going solo this ti?"
Caesar asked again.
"No, Nature’s Heart Guild contacted , inviting to join their pioneering team."
Moonlight Jasmine shook her head.
"Nature’s Heart, huh..."
Caesar nodded.
"Look, they’re coming."
As Moonlight Jasmine finished speaking, she looked in another direction.
Caesar followed her gaze and saw several familiar veteran players.
Li Mu, wearing a Silver Druid Robe, riding a Brass Dragon.
Demacia, riding on a giant mountain bear, in heavy armor, carrying the Iris Flag with striking blazing red hair.
The priest player Dongdong in a rare Silver Priest Robe, also riding a Brass Dragon.
And ng Zhihan, a Druid specializing in Wildness, riding a Red Copper Dragon, chatting and laughing with Dongdong.
Behind them were over a hundred players, all level 40 mbers of Nature’s Heart Guild, plus the scattered players invited by them.
This was the pioneering team of Nature’s Heart Guild.
Everyone was on demon beasts, fully ard.
Watching the imposing players, Caesar felt envious.
*He sighed deeply,*
"So impressive... It makes want to join them."
"Then you really have to level up quickly."
Moonlight Jasmine laughed.
"I’m off."
She waved to Caesar, gently got up, and threw the jerky to the Blue Dragon.
The small Blue Dragon swallowed the jerky in one bite, then bent down to let Moonlight Jasmine ride on.
"Good luck!"
Caesar shouted after her.
Moonlight Jasmine nodded,
"I’ll bring you back so specialties from Death Desert."
With that, she patted the Blue Dragon beneath her, which roared and sped up, quickly joining the Nature’s Heart Guild team...
Right after the First Legion, Nature’s Heart Guild’s pioneering team entered the new map.
They chose a different direction from the First Legion and dashed off...
Caesar watched the players leave, filled with envy.
Until he couldn’t see their shadows anymore, he tilted his head,
"Specialties from Death Desert?"
...
Elf Forest, Feilengcui.
Back in the real world, Black Dragon Mairrel and Red Dragon Tibilia reluctantly helped lifestyle players repair the city buildings.
But they had just started when they heard a crisp and excited shout,
"Mairrel! Mairrel! Stop working! Co roam the Death Desert with !"
It was Little Xian Miao.
Mairrel let go of the stones held in her mouth, looking at the excited young girl,
"Has your quest begun?"
"Yeah, yeah! Hurry up, hurry up, the whole guild is waiting for us!"
Little Xian Miao nodded.
"Ahem... But look, I still have rebuilding work to do..."
Mairrel’s eyes darted around as she cleared her throat, a large tail wagging behind her.
"Tch! I know what you’re thinking! If you don’t want to work, just leave it to our guild’s new players. Hurry up and co with !"
Little Xian Miao rolled her eyes, tugging at the Black Dragon’s tail.
"Stop pulling, stop pulling! I’ll go! I’ll go!"
The Black Dragon quickly said.
After speaking, she looked over at Red Dragon Tibilia, tempting,
"So, what do you say? Want to have so fun?"
"Have so fun? Where to?"
Tibilia paused slightly, confused.
"Death Desert! To battle!"
Little Xian Miao grinned.
Battle... battle?
Tibilia’s eyes glowed.
She looked at the Black Dragon, then at the yet-to-be-repaired buildings around, with a slight trace of hesitation.
*But soon, with Little Xian Miao’s vigorous wave,* that hesitation vanished,
"Stop looking! We’re taking care of the rebuilding. Just cooperate with our guild’s actions, okay? Hmm... Mainly just help us finish off targets!"
"Deal!"
The Red Dragon imdiately nodded.
*Hmm...*
*Assisting the Chosen One was part of the contract with Miss Ling. Moreover, she was curious about the aura of these Chosen Ones...*
*And what this unlimited resurrection that the Black Dragon ntioned could be...*
*Perhaps... she could find the answer this ti?*
*In any case... it wasn’t as if she simply wanted to go to battle!*
*Speaking of which, what does "finishing off targets" an?*
She tilted her head.
Little Xian Miao called Mairrel, then "persuaded" Red Dragon Tibilia.
Afterward, under the envious and admiring gazes of nurous players, she took off on the Black Dragon, leaving Feilengcui...
"Fly faster! To Rivendell!"
"Huh? Not Death Desert?"
"It’s hundreds of kiloters away! By the ti you fly over, it’ll be too late. Sister Gugu has cooperated with other guilds to establish a Teleportation Array to the border of the Dark Mountain Range. We’ll use that! And... rember to shapeshift when we get there. We’re going for reconnaissance and a sneak attack; you’ll be too conspicuous as you are."
"Oh, oh, oh... and what are those?"
"It’s sothing you eat."
"..."
Their voices grew distant, fading into the air...
