These few drops of serpent’s blood were dark red and looked unremarkable; if soone else saw them, they wouldn’t take any notice.
But Huang Yi knew the strange nature of that python, and these drops of blood were key to unraveling its secret. He could use the blood to allow the Overlord to track down the other party’s whereabouts and seize the initiative.
Besides, he could also use these blood drops for his next evolution to see what the other party was all about!
Huang Yi imdiately took out a magic bottle, collected the few drops of blood from the ground into the bottle, and preserved them well.
Huang Yi sent a ssage to the Overlord, telling him to return directly to the city.
After that, he also sent a ssage to Dugu Lengcang to borrow the tal with the power of extre heat to dispel the extre cold power in those hearts, and they agreed to et that evening.
With that, the search for the heart ca to an end.
Next, Huang Yi returned to Tiantai City to learn the skills for Level 65.
His level had already reached 70, one higher than Qin Shiyu’s, ranking him in the top 100 of the China Region. The number one player in the world, Dao Feng, was already at Level 75, evidently pushing hard towards Level 100.
Walking leisurely along the streets of Tiantai City, Huang Yi felt he could finally relax and rest after being busy for so long.
"Make way! Don’t block my path!" When passing by the Guild Hall in Tiantai City, Huang Yi was suddenly shoved aside by a group of people behind him. Many were rushing into the Guild Hall, as if there was sothing urgent they had to do.
"What’s going on with those people?" At this point, so onlookers, just as curious as Huang Yi, watched the people racing into the Guild Hall.
"What else could it be? The Hero Guild has been upgraded to a fourth-level guild. They can now recruit an additional million mbers. They all want to seize the chance to join before it’s too late and the spots are filled," another player explained.
"Is the Hero Guild really that popular?"
"Of course! Now the Hero Guild offers the best benefits. Even Dragon City is theirs, sothing no other guild in the world has managed to achieve. The vice president of the Hero Guild, Qin Shiyu, has even said that mbers who reach a certain level of contribution points can get a house in Dragon City. Having a house in a big city like that is such an enviable thing. Even if you do nothing else but open a shop and sell things, you’ll earn more than you would working a day job in real life," said the player, his tone thick with envy. "It’s just a pity that I’ve already joined another guild, and my level isn’t high enough to et the Hero Guild’s requirents, otherwise, I’d love to join them."
"Probably, Instakill will get the best guild award next year. They also have a good chance at winning the best individual award; they might even beco the first ones to achieve a grand slam!"
"Who knows? Anyway, we just live our little lives. They’re always busy and rushing around but aren’t necessarily having more fun than us."
Hearing this conversation, Huang Yi instantly understood the reason behind the commotion.
It seed Qin Shiyu had managed the Hero Guild very well; it had already advanced to a fourth-level guild with an astonishing rate of growth. More importantly, she had established a series of reward and punishnt systems, attracting hordes of people to join. The Dragon City was like a treasure trove, and owning a house there was as appealing as owning a real one, drawing imnse attraction from common players.
Huang Yi continued on his way and soon arrived at the Warrior Hall, where he teleported to the Pantheon’s Mystic Realms.
The Level 65 skill was sothing all Rare Class Holders strove to learn, with the next target being the Level 75 skill, attainable only by a few like Dao Feng.
The Mystic Realm too had a square, with many motionless Warrior BOSSes standing around it. At that mont, an intense battle was taking place in the center of the square.
Three players were attacking one of the Warrior BOSSes with all their might. They seed to have been fighting for a long ti, and the BOSS was now using a fury-type skill, radiating bloodlight, apparently in the dying counterattack stage, with each move more ferocious than before.
Of the three players, one was a lee warrior wielding a long spear, striking with force; another was an archer shooting from a distance, with arrows flying out fast like a line; and the last player seed to be of the Shaman class, with a totem pole next to him emitting a blood-red glow, enhancing his teammates’ combat power. Their coordination was impeccable, clearly well-acquainted friends.
"Ah!" Just then, the BOSS unleashed a powerful attack that sent the warrior flying, then imdiately rushed towards the archer and the Shaman, making the situation suddenly precarious.
The archer and Shaman quickly ran to avoid the BOSS’s attacks, but the BOSS was so fast that their evasion beca extrely challenging.
"Excuse , friend over there, could you give us a hand?" The archer, having spotted Huang Yi in the distance, called out to him in desperation.
Seeing that it was a simple matter of lending a hand, Huang Yi didn’t hesitate, grabbed his two broadaxes, and with a swift Pursuit, charged at the BOSS, stunning it.
At this point, the warrior who got knocked away rushed back to join Huang Yi in attacking the BOSS, quickly stabilizing the situation.
"Brother, thanks a lot!" the warrior turned his head and thanked Huang Yi.
"It was nothing!" Huang Yi said nonchalantly.
At that mont, he was wearing Oss’ Eye Mask, which altered his appearance, and since he hadn’t tead up with the three, they still didn’t know his na.
The warrior didn’t have much health to begin with, and after the combined attack of the four, he was quickly reduced to a bare life state.
All three glanced at Huang Yi, hesitating, unsure whether to speak. Whoever killed the warrior would get the credit, so many would try to steal the kill at this stage. They all wanted to warn Huang Yi to back off first, but felt awkward about voicing it.
Just then, Huang Yi sheathed his weapon and voluntarily stepped back, clearly stating his position and easing the minds of the trio.
At this point, the hunter and the warrior also stopped attacking, leaving only the shaman still on the offense.
Swiftly, the shaman killed the warrior boss, who turned to ashes. The shaman hurried forward, placed his hand on the ashes, and learned the Level 65 skill.
"Bro, thanks for helping out just now!" After the battle ended, the three approached Huang Yi and expressed their gratitude.
"Let introduce us." The warrior stepped forward and said, "My na is Mu Yun, this shaman is Didi, and the hunter is Yan Chen. We are all from the Guild of Famous Generals. May I ask how to address you?" Upon finishing, the three of them took out their business cards and handed them to Huang Yi.
"Mu Yun?" Huang Yi gave the warrior another look. Mu Yun was also one of the excellent new players last year, but his glory was sowhat overshadowed by Huang Yi and Thunder God.
Huang Yi took their business cards and handed out three of his own to them.
At this point, there was no need for Huang Yi to hide his identity. His Oss Eye Mask could change into countless forms, and next ti he could appear as soone else without worrying about being recognized.
"You, you’re Instakill?" The trio took the business cards, slightly startled, and stared at Huang Yi in disbelief. Although all three were Rare Class Holders and ca from the renowned Guild of Famous Generals, their status was trivial compared to Huang Yi’s.
"Yes!" Huang Yi nodded, "Today is the first ti I’ve t people from the Guild of Famous Generals. All three of you are Rare Classes, so I assu you are part of the guild’s leadership. I hope we can cooperate in the future."
"We’re not any high-ranking officials; we’re not interested in power. We just play casually," Mu Yun shook his head slightly, then looked at the other warriors in the plaza, and said, "Instakill, that warrior is quite tough, probably unbeatable in a one-on-one fight unless you’re over Level 80. At this level range, it takes a group to win. You helped us just now, so how about we return the favor?"
"Yeah! If it weren’t for your intervention, I might not have learned the Level 65 skill so smoothly," the shaman nad Didi added.
"Alright, thanks a lot!" Huang Yi was not a stubborn person and accepted imdiately.
Next, the four went into the plaza and challenged another warrior boss.
With the help of the three, Huang Yi had an easy ti and, after so effort, successfully killed the boss, obtaining the Warrior’s Ashes.
Huang Yi imdiately pressed his palm against the ashes, and a surge of red energy entered his body through his arm, teaching him a new skill.
"System Prompt: Congratulations, you’ve learned the Executioner Class Level 65 skill ’Swift Judgent’."
’Swift Judgent’: Consus 100 Rage to increase attack speed by 50% for the next 20 seconds. Cooldown ti: 1 minute.
Rage!
This was Huang Yi’s most Rage-consuming skill to date. His current Rage maxed out at 250 points, of which 50 was a bonus from the Legendary Ghost Axe. Using this skill would cost him nearly half at once. However, the benefits of the skill were clear: a 50% increase in attack speed ant he could make more attacks in the sa ti fra, gathering more Rage. The trade-off was certainly worth it.
But the skill had a cooldown period, so even with enough Rage, it couldn’t be used continuously. It was best used during peak damage output monts.
"Instakill, we’ve got to go now. Hope we have the chance to fight together again," Mu Yun said as he bid farewell to Huang Yi.
"Yeah, goodbye!" Huang Yi also said his farewells and teleported out.
