Vermilion Bird City, one of the Four Major Cities of the Hua Country District.
The wild monsters outside Vermilion Bird City range in level from 30 to 45.
Currently, the average level of players in the Hua Country District is around level 22.
Their main area of activity is around Black Tortoise City.
Players only develop in Vermilion Bird City after reaching level 30 and undergoing the Third Transformation.
Level 30 in "Glory of the Gods" marks the first major transformation for players.
This constitutes a significant change, whether it’s the boost in strength after the Third Transformation across professions, the difficulty of wild monsters, or equipnt bonuses.
Vermilion Bird City is located east of Black Tortoise City.
Between Vermilion Bird City and Black Tortoise City lies a giant glacier covered in ice and snow all year round, difficult for birds to cross and rarely visited by people.
Unlike Black Tortoise City, which experiences rain all year round and is rarely sunny, Vermilion Bird City’s territory is split into the Southern and Northern Domains.
Vermilion Bird City serves as the boundary, with the Southern Domain enjoying perpetual spring and the Northern Domain eternally covered in ice and snow, essentially two entirely different worlds.
Xuejian Valley is located north of Vermilion Bird City, at the very edge of the Northern Domain.
Beyond Xuejian Valley, known as the ice and snow corridor, lies a vast snowy wilderness, marking the beginning of the White Tiger City territory.
Currently, the place where Shengshi Drunk is located belongs to Rebel Canyon in the Southern Domain, a location diatrically opposed to the north.
According to the event requirents, traveling from Rebel Canyon to Xuejian Valley involves:
→ Rebel Canyon (Rebel Guard Lv38; Rebel Warrior Lv40; Rebel Leader boss Lv42)
→ Tiger Roar Pool (Demonized Black Tiger Lv36; Black Tiger Cub Lv31; Black Tiger King boss Lv40)
→ Ruins of the Old City (Ruins Demon Monster Lv33; Ruins Spirit Monster Lv32; Ruins Lord boss Lv35)
→ South City Plain (Demonized Wild Dog Lv30; Wild Dog King boss Lv32)
→ Vermilion Bird Main City
→ North City Snowfield (Demonized Snow Demon Lv31; Snow Demon Lord boss Lv33)
→ Winter Ridge (Snowman Warrior Lv34; Snowman King boss Lv35)
→ Ice Lake (Water Demon Lv35; Frenzied Water Demon boss Lv38)
→ Xuejian Valley (Ice and Snow Manipulator Lv39; Valley Master Jonard boss Lv45)
The eight maps almost encompass the major leveling maps outside Vermilion Bird City.
Especially the Valley Master of Xuejian Valley, later known as the strongest boss of Vermilion Bird City.
According to the map, the location of the Doming City Vault is right behind Jonard’s Ice and Snow Palace.
To pass through here, Jonard must be killed to cross the Ice and Snow Palace and reach the Doming City Vault.
Not to ntion the wild monster bosses encountered along the way, whose levels far exceed current players, just the boss at Xuejian Valley alone is enough to trouble Shengshi Drunk.
Moreover, Shengshi Drunk’s biggest enemies are the tens of thousands, perhaps even more, player groups.
The dangers along this path can already be seen, needing to fend off wild monsters while preventing players from continuously intercepting attacks.
No wonder Shengshi Drunk sought Lin Yi’s assistance imdiately.
Although this event was triggered by Shengshi Drunk, for players, it is a rare grand celebration covering all players.
For this reason, Vermilion Bird City, usually very quiet, suddenly saw an influx of players on this night.
The normally sparse Main City streets beca packed within minutes with countless players.
Various channels were overwheld with exclamations from excited players, while forums were flooded with discussions on whether Shengshi Drunk would erge victorious in this event.
Major guilds mobilized almost all mbers, with figures like Proud Sanctuary, Luoshen, Famous Clan, Ice and Snow Illusion City, Divine Hall, Qingyi Pavilion, and even the newly rising Divine Court present everywhere in Vermilion Bird City.
There were even snapshots of Feng Hua leading rcenary corps mbers, flying over Vermilion Bird City on mounts toward the outside.
Such a grand occasion was unprecedented.
As for who within the guilds sought to assist Shengshi Dynasty, or who intended to partake in the spoils, no one could tell.
In re minutes, even Lin Yi’s failure to ascend the Endless Tower was overshadowed by the frenzy from the players.
Around the event ambassador of Vermilion Bird City, the system had to open divisional frequency thods to accommodate the tens of thousands of players signing up in the small area.
Every player who successfully registered would receive a temporary mask.
When wearing the mask, players’ appearances would change to a uniform image.
Nas would be directly hidden.
Mounts would uniformly beco white horses.
The mask is only effective around Vermilion Bird City and loses its effect once outside.
If not wearing the Disguiser Mask, information such as appearance and na cannot be hidden.
The death penalty thus wouldn’t benefit from an 80% reduction.
...
Nightti on the Rafam Continent differs from real-life Earth.
Due to the lack of pollution, the night sky here is exceptionally clean and bright.
The enormous moon hangs high in the sky, with countless stars scattered across the entire heavens.
Though it is nightti, outside Vermilion Bird City remains very bright under the illumination of the moonlight and stars.
[Treasure Hunt] countdown: 00:02:56
At this mont, people keep logging in and stepping out of the teleportation array from Vermilion Bird City, rushing toward the event ambassador.
anwhile, at the south gate of Vermilion Bird City, nurous players riding white horses, aided by the bright moonlight, strive down the road towards Rebel Canyon.
The horses whinny loudly, stirring up dust.
Almost everyone guesses that the prideful drunk of Shengshi must be in Rebel Canyon now.
In stark contrast to Vermilion Bird City, in the depths of Rebel Canyon, around the prideful drunk of Shengshi gather Luoshen Liunian, Famous Clan’s Young Kun, Proud Lord, Phantom City’s Xia Haitang, Qingyi Pavilion’s No Regrets, Divine Hall Madman, and other presidents of the top ten guilds from Hua Country.
At the sa ti, mbers such as Feng Hua and Tianci from the [Creation rcenary Corps] are present.
Seeing these people, the prideful drunk of Shengshi expressed gratitude:
"I, the prideful drunk, will rember this kindness."
"If ever you need assistance, my Shengshi Dynasty shall repay it a hundredfold."
Luoshen Liunian, however, upon hearing this, showed a wry smile:
"Let’s talk about future matters later; for now, let’s think about how to overco the current challenge."
Even though nearly thirty thousand troops from the top ten guilds have gathered here, none present hold an optimistic view.
Because they will soon face players whose numbers are tenfold their own.
Soone roughly estimated that at least three to four hundred thousand players have gathered in Vermilion Bird City at this mont.
Facing such numbers with only thirty thousand, no one can remain optimistic.
What’s more terrifying is that the people on Shengshi’s side still can’t use the Disguiser Masks.
The reason being, once used, everyone appears in a uniform image, making it impossible to distinguish between friend and foe during battle, let alone ensure the prideful drunk’s safety.
However, Luoshen Liunian still suggested:
"Try to use Disguiser Masks before dying to minimize the death penalty."
"Otherwise, the penalty for dying once and dropping a level is too severe."
Moreover, the path to Xuejian Valley is akin to a perilous journey to the Western Paradise, fraught with dangers.
The maximum penalty Luoshen Liunian and others proposed is an average of two levels dropped per person.
According to the death penalty of Disguiser Masks, that’s an average of 10 deaths per person.
Once this limit is reached, they would lead their guild mbers to withdraw from this task.
The prideful drunk of Shengshi expressed understanding and helplessness regarding this.
...
At this mont, around the prideful drunk of Shengshi are over twelve hundred female players from Ice and Snow Illusion City.
In the outer circle are mbers from Famous Clan, Qingyi Pavilion, Divine Hall, Luoshen, Proud Sanctuary, and the outermost circle consists of over two thousand players from Shengshi Dynasty.
All guild mbers form a massive encirclent, surrounding the prideful drunk in the center.
The prideful drunk understands the severe situation he and his allies are about to face, which makes him more appreciative of the risk those appearing in their original forms are taking.
The saying ’true feelings in adversity’ indeed applies to this mont.
When the prideful drunk sees these people coming to assist without hesitation, his eyes turn damp.
Just as everything is prepared and awaiting the event’s comncent, Lin Yi suddenly speaks with interest:
"Wouldn’t it be more interesting if all the Thieves wore Disguiser Masks and infiltrated the enemy’s ranks?"
Everyone pauses, then their eyes light up:
"Great idea!"
Tianci and Red Eyes both put on Disguiser Masks, share a smile, and then disappear into the night using stealth.
...
[Treasure Hunt] countdown: 00:00:00
[Treasure Hunt] system: "Treasure Vault Key holder: ’The prideful drunk of Shengshi,’ coordinates: Rebel Canyon 238:129"...
Lin Yi summoned the Elf Dragon, and once all the guild’s ranged high-level players were onboard, they soared into the sky.
Standing on the back of the Elf Dragon against the wind, looking at the endless sea of players in the distance, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh:
"This night will surely be a sleepless one."
The Elf Dragon let out a deafening roar, streaking across the night sky in a colorful glow.
When nearly all players appear as disguisers, the figure in the sky becos exceptionally conspicuous:
"Elf Dragon, that’s Feng Hua!"
