"It should be correct," Huang Yi nodded firmly as he spoke. Ever since he evolved into a Treasure-Sniffing Cat, he possessed the treasure-sniffing ability, which allowed him to detect treasures within a ten-kiloter radius! On this man with the bamboo hat, he had discovered as many as four pieces of Legendary Equipnt, including the blade in the man’s hand.
For one person to possess four pieces of Legendary Equipnt at once was entirely the hallmark of a Super-First Master. Even within the entire Hero Guild, apart from Huang Yi, no one else owned four pieces of Legendary Equipnt; even the Vice President Qin Shiyu had only three! In every sense, this man with the bamboo hat was very likely to be the Gentleman; otherwise, Huang Yi found it hard to consider anyone else.
Watching the Gentleman forcing the Guardian General into a steady retreat, Huang Yi felt as if he was seeing a Super-First Master like Sharp Sword, Dragon Spike, or Thunder God! His combat skills were extrely sophisticated, his positioning was just right, and he was absolutely resolute in not using other skills unless necessary. From the start of the fight until now, he had only used two skills, aning the Guardian General was completely unable to force out his true power.
"When we get the chance, let’s avoid this character and not join him; no one here is his match," Huang Yi cautioned Ghost Shadow and Ghost Speech. If he were to fight the Gentleman, this incarnation would be completely incapable of dealing with him unless he summoned his true body.
"Okay, we’ll keep a low profile then. Let those guys fight over the good stuff; we’ll be satisfied just picking up the leftovers!" Ghost Shadow nodded with self-awareness.
"Boom!" At that mont, the Guardian General’s Skeleton Horse, after being ravaged by the Gentleman multiple tis, finally couldn’t withstand it any longer and shattered into a heap of bones. The Guardian General fell from his steed and was imdiately encircled and beaten by several other Holy Domain players to the point where he was nearly helpless.
"Splat!" Finally, the Gentleman’s Beheading Blade sent the Guardian General’s head flying off, successfully killing the BOSS!
After the Guardian General’s death, a slew of items burst forth, turning every player’s eyes green with envy. Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound, A Lifeti in a Day, and Soul Destroyer were all fixated on the pile of items on the ground, their expressions showing interest, but they refrained from picking anything up due to the Gentleman’s deterrence. Everyone who had tead up to kill the enemy had the right to pick up the dropped items, and these Holy Domain Warriors were all qualified to do so.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the Gentleman didn’t even glance at the items on the ground and, along with the woman with the bamboo hat, walked straight into the depths of the Underground Palace, vanishing from everyone’s sight.
"That person is on a different level from us; he couldn’t care less about such good items!" Ghost Shadow sighed softly as he gazed at the pile of items on the ground, his expression filled with envy.
Players all around stared at the Gentleman’s receding figure, feeling his unapproachability. Though he was right before their eyes, he seed like a Divine Dragon above the clouds, existing in a different world from them.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Just then, Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound, Soul Destroyer, and A Lifeti in a Day, these three Holy Domain experts, almost simultaneously bent down and in a blink, they had scrambled to pick up all the items on the ground.
"Brothers, follow !" Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound glanced back at the crowd from the Sword Tide Guild, waved his hand grandly, and swiftly proceeded deeper into the Underground Palace.
"Brothers from the Hero Guild, follow !" A Lifeti in a Day refused to be left behind, quickly leading his own forces in.
Soon, players from all over, whether from big powers or small forces or solo players, all rushed past the red line, heading deeper into the Underground Palace.
"We need to hurry up, or there won’t even be soup left for us," Ghost Shadow said in a rush and darted forward. Huang Yi and Ghost Speech quickly followed suit, blending into the stream of players, moving with the flow.
After a while, the crowd finally arrived at the end of the Underground Palace, where they were faced with ten tunnels on the wall ahead, apparently leading to ten different places. A multitude of players hesitated there, uncertain of which direction to take.
"Quickly split into ten teams, make sure we have our people in every path," Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound ordered as soon as he saw the situation. His forces were the largest; even divided into ten teams, they would still be formidable.
Imdiately, the thousands of players from the Sword Tide Guild split into ten teams, each entering the tunnels.
The remaining forces like the Fierce Tiger Gang, sub-branches of the Hero Guild, and the Hall of Famous Generals, all adopted this strategy, dividing their n into ten teams and entering each tunnel in turn.
"Which tunnel should we take?" Ghost Shadow scratched his head and turned to ask Huang Yi and Ghost Speech.
"The farthest one to the left," Huang Yi said without hesitation and charged straight into it.
Perhaps he was the most advantaged of all players there, for he possessed an extrely special treasure-sniffing ability, the hallmark skill of the globally endangered Treasure-Sniffing Cat. In ancient tis, so adventurers relied on Treasure-Sniffing Cats for treasure hunting. However, as their numbers rapidly declined and they almost went extinct, it beca nearly impossible for ordinary people to possess such treasure-sniffing abilities.
Huang Yi’s treasure-sniffing ability detected that there were indeed quite a few treasures scattered within a ten-kiloter radius, but there seed to be more on the left, so the chances of encountering treasures would be higher if they went left.
Upon seeing Huang Yi enter the left passage, Ghost Shadow and Ghost Speech followed without any hesitation. The other players on the field mostly chose a passage at random to venture into. The vast crowd was suddenly split up, significantly reducing the number of people in each passage.
At that mont, Huang Yi and his two companions were speeding through the leftmost passage, surrounded by darkness, without any illumination beads. Many players took out torches for light; the flickering flas caused the shadows to sway, casting on the cavern walls, creating a sense of urgency.
"Huh? An E-level energy stone!" Suddenly, a boisterous voice ca from up ahead as a chubby player discovered an energy stone on the cavern wall and couldn’t help but exclaim.
However, at that mont, a quick-eyed short player imdiately reached out to snatch the energy stone from the wall, intending to pry it off.
"How dare you steal my find, you’re looking for death!" The chubby player imdiately bellowed in anger, took out a long sword, and stabbed towards the other player beside him.
"Brothers, let’s take him down together!" The short player sneered coldly and called out to his companions. Several nearby players acted simultaneously, each wielding their weapons to strike at the chubby player, quickly overwhelming him. In just a few seconds, the chubby player beca a corpse lying on the ground.
The rest of the players had also wanted to compete for the treasure, but seeing that the aggressors ford a small group, they gave up the idea of competing and continued on their way. However, during this ti, everyone began to rush forward while paying close attention to the cavern walls, hoping to find so treasures, which slowed their pace considerably.
"Let’s hurry up! These are just trinkets along the way, not worth wasting ti on," Huang Yi turned to look at Ghost Shadow and Ghost Speech, noticing they were both carefully examining the cavern walls and moving sluggishly, and couldn’t help but remind them. His treasure-sniffing ability had certain standards for treasures, sothing like an E-level energy stone didn’t catch his eye at all; his ability couldn’t detect it.
"Yeah! Let’s move quickly! There are better things ahead!" Ghost Speech, reluctant to leave, patted Ghost Shadow, imdiately sped up, and caught up with Huang Yi.
Along the way, the trio witnessed nurous fights, with many players violently clashing over treasures. Every player could potentially be an enemy; there was no order to speak of. The three of them did not participate, focusing only on charging ahead.
"Hmm? Three treasure gold stones! These are great materials for alchemy!" At that mont, the sharp-eyed Ghost Shadow suddenly spotted three purple-gold stones embedded in the nearby cavern wall, faintly glowing under the trembling torchlight.
"Perfect, one for each of us!" Ghost Speech also laughed happily, imdiately reaching out to pry them off.
"Just three treasure gold stones; they’re not worth wasting ti on! Let’s keep moving!" Huang Yi, worldly and wise, had no interest in such so-called "treasures" and urged them to keep going.
"Swoosh!" Just then, an arrow shot out from the pathway behind them, hitting Ghost Speech’s arm, forcing his hand open and preventing him from taking the three treasure gold stones.
"Those are ours now! If you want to live, beat it!" A taunting voice ca from the passage. A small team of five players erged, not hiding their levels but proudly displaying them; all were level 95 or above, a reasonably strong combination among ordinary players. On Huang Yi’s side, both Ghost Shadow and Ghost Speech were only level 91, inferior to the other group in both numbers and level.
"Don’t push us too far! We found them first!" Ghost Shadow, hot-headed, imdiately wanted to reason with them.
"Humph! You’re courting death!" One of the fire mages in the team of five snorted coldly and imdiately launched a fireball technique at Ghost Shadow, blasting him away and nearly costing him his life.
"Sigh, be quick about it; I’ll handle them." Seeing this situation, Huang Yi dropped a word in resignation, charging directly towards the opposing five players.
He had no choice but to intervene.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" Huang Yi was astonishingly fast, his long spear, transford from the epic war halberd handle, thrusting out five tis in swift succession, hitting the five players and creating a blur of afterimages.
In the next mont, all five were forcefully flung away! The opposing team’s priest and assassin were even instant-killed, leaving only three still alive. (To be continued.
