Before dawn, will the road to the lost city appear?
Zhao Chenghuang suppressed other information first, looked at the full moon in the sky, and sensed the changes in the power of the lunar moon.
After the sun sets and darkness falls, the power of the lunar calendar is at its weakest at this time. At midnight, the power of the lunar moon reaches its peak, and then begins to decline.
As an elf of the night, the Night God can predict the time based on the strength of the lunar power.
Of course, this requires an experienced night wanderer who has been trained in this area and remembers the intensity of the lunar power at different time periods.
Some night wandering gods with little experience do not have this ability.
It was one o'clock in the morning. Zhao Chenghuang sensed it for a few seconds and made an accurate judgment.
At this time, he heard Yuanshi Tianzun not far away saying:
"What time is it now? It feels like two in the morning."
Sure enough, he is a rookie who has just become the Night God. No matter how powerful he is, the details reveal the fact that his foundation is shallow! Zhao Chenghuang thought to himself.
Sun Miaomiao frowned her delicate and beautiful eyebrows and said:
"No, no, it's eleven o'clock in the evening."
The judgment of the strength of the lunar power was correct. The yin energy at eleven o'clock and one o'clock in the morning were equal, but it was reversed. Elder Sun's training of Miaomiao was not good enough. Zhao Chenghuang shook his head.
"I think it's two o'clock in the morning." Yuan Ting said.
Outrageous! This guy hasn't spent enough time in the training camp. Zhao Chenghuang glanced at him and said with a calm tone and a cold and arrogant expression:
"It's one o'clock in the morning."
After saying that, Zhao Chenghuang saw Yuanshi Tianzun, Sun Miaomiao, and Yuan Ting walking away silently.
"What this guy said is inaccurate."
"That's right, it's clearly two o'clock in the morning."
"Don't play with him."
Zhao Chenghuang twitched the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, looked at the people in the open space, and said:
"It's one o'clock in the morning, and it's still early before dawn. We need to refresh ourselves before entering the Lost City. Except for the night wanderer and the earth monster, the others are resting in the open space.
"If there are night wandering gods and earth monsters that are too physically exhausted, please report them to me."
He arranged patrols and guards in an orderly manner, acting like a leader.
People from the mountain god camp took a look at Yuanshi Tianzun sitting on the stone and not caring about anything, and then they followed Zhao Chenghuang's instructions to rest when they should and patrol when they should.
Ryo Asano, the JK from the island nation, came over with a long katana and whispered:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, you have been seized of power."
Zhang Yuanqing looked at her sideways: "You have to call me "Master Yuanshi Tianzun"."
Asano Ryo whispered:
"Master Yuanshi Tianzun, you have been deprived of power. That Zhao Chenghuang wants to take away your position as leader. Why do you let him scheme against you? Everyone obviously supports you!"
Zhang Yuanqing nodded with a serious expression:
"What you said makes sense. Then, Liangjiang, please assassinate this thief for me."
"Ah?" The expression on Asano Ryo's pure and beautiful face was stagnant, and he muttered: "I, I can't beat him."
Guan Ya next to her was speechless for a while. This girl from the island country was stupid or even a little smart, but she was just too stupid.
Guan Ya Education said:
"Have you not noticed that no matter what Zhao Chenghuang says, everyone will still subconsciously ask Yuan Shi for his opinion. If he doesn't object, Zhao Chenghuang's words will only work.
"In this case, why should we have a conflict with Zhao Chenghuang over such a trivial matter? Besides, Yuan Shi doesn't care about such trivial matters. With Zhao Chenghuang here, he is happy to save trouble."
Asano Ryo thought carefully and suddenly realized:
"Oh, this is what my father always taught me, political balance."
"What kind of political balance?" The red-haired girl came over and participated in the chat enthusiastically: "Political balance means killing all political opponents, right?"
While the three girls were chattering, Zhang Yuanqing opened the scoreboard:
[1: Yuanshi Tianzun, Night Traveling God, level 3, 508 points]
[10: My destiny is determined by my will, illusionist, level 3, 138 points]
Except for the second and third places that have not changed, the top ten rankings on the list have changed greatly, with Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao and Jiang Jingwei rushing to the top seven.
The ranking of the top twenty-four has undergone earth-shaking changes. Among the lists 11-24, the mountain god camp accounts for ten, and the mountain ghost camp accounts for four.
Guan Ya also reached the 20th place.
As long as she can maintain this ranking, her promotion to a saint will not be a problem.
"Those who follow me, try to make them among the top twenty-four. Otherwise, they will either give up being promoted to saints or participate in the killing dungeon at the end of the year."
"Kou Beiyue's ranking is a bit low, forty-two. As for him, he can be promoted to a saint. The most important thing is to save this guy's life."
"As long as I kill Hajime and Solo, I can be on par with the Demon Lord and the Female Marshal."
However, these two are both top-notch warriors. Zhang Yuanqing still has some confidence when fighting alone, but in a team fight, the uncertainties increase dramatically and it is too difficult to kill them.
Players who kill the top five players on the list will earn the highest points, but those who can squeeze into the top five are not rookies.
The Demon Lord killed almost all the official personnel and he must have done it because he was a young man and cooperated with the evil profession.
Otherwise, the Demon Lord's points would not be more than nine hundred, but more than one thousand, or even two thousand.
In fact, based on the points calculated, the specific combat power of the Demon Lord and the Female Marshal in the transcendent realm can be evaluated.
Zhang Yuanqing believes that they will not be much better than him.
It is worth mentioning that the total number of people in the standings is sixty.
The ratio of the number of people in the mountain ghost and mountain god camps is almost 1:2.
Zhang Yuanqing closed the scoreboard and poked Guan Ya's small waist with his elbow: "Sister Guan Ya, give me your thigh to use as a pillow."
Guan Ya: "Go, go, go!"
Zhang Yuanqing: "If you don't give it, I'll go find Fairy Peony."
Guan Ya glared at him.
Zhang Yuanqing took advantage of the situation and rested his head on his round and soft thighs, and as expected he was not rejected.
From the ambush battle in the maze to the one-man defense of the mountain ghost camp, his spirit body was attacked one after another. His spirit was already exhausted and he quickly fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, he was woken up by Guan Ya. The mixed-race beauty handed him a bunch of wild fruits and said:
"It's dawn soon, let's eat something first.
"The Peony Fairy and the others picked them in the forest and they are edible."
Zhang Yuanqing sat up dizzily, took a few deep breaths, and after swallowing enough oxygen, his brain became clearer.
He took the wild fruit from Guan Ya and ate it silently while looking at his companions in the open space.
They either sat on the ground and yawned, or got up to move around and stretch their muscles. Because they all got a rest, they were full of energy and not tired.
"Pop!"
Zhang Yuanqing clapped his palms to attract everyone's attention.
People unconsciously put down what they were doing and looked at the young man jumping on the stone.
Zhang Yuanqing stood on the stone and said loudly:
"Everyone, it's almost dawn. We will go to the Lost City and start the final battle with the mountain ghost camp. There is no doubt that this will be an extremely dangerous battle to the death.
"Everyone may die, including me. Everyone is experienced and has already gone through the test of life and death. If you dare to enter the killing dungeon, you will be enlightened.
"I hope that after entering the Lost City, everyone can unite as one, obey orders, be promoted to saints together, and face a bright future."
Everyone either remained silent or nodded slightly, but they didn't really enjoy it.
Except for a few fools, most of them have reached their current status and level. They are used to eating the cakes painted by their leaders and drinking enough chicken soup for the soul.
Zhang Yuanqing's simple words will not make your blood boil and your fighting spirit high.
Zhang Yuanqing changed the topic and said:
"Perhaps for you, blocking the attack of the mountain ghost camp by your own strength is a feat and an incredible thing, but for me, this is not the limit.
"I still have a lot of useless cards. Not to mention delaying for a while, even if I kill the Sandberg camp, it will be no problem. If you kill one more person, you will get one more quota. For every extra quota, one of you will be able to
Be promoted to saint.
"However, I cannot rely solely on my own strength. In the end, I still have to rely on everyone. I say it again, obey orders and unite as one, understand."
After hearing this, the eyes of all the travelers lit up.
Does Yuanshi Tianzun still have a trump card? The battle in the mountain temple is not his limit.
"clear!"
Everyone responded loudly and looked excited.
Therefore, it is still useful to draw a big pie, it depends on how the leader draws it.
At the same moment, Bai Wuji stood on the stone, looked down at his companions, and said loudly:
"As expected, the rules of the Lost City will be very simple. There is no need to decipher or explore. Strong confrontation is the only criterion, and fighting is what we are good at."
"All of Yuanshi Tianzun's trump cards have been exhausted. We are well aware of his methods. After a night of discussion, we have figured out a way to crack it.
"But what they don't know is that our cards haven't been shown yet.
"Why should the lawful professions compete with our free professions? They are all rubbish.
"How can Yuanshi Tianzun, who has no trump card, compete with us? He is also rubbish. Everyone, the Lost City is our opportunity to kill the lawful walkers. I have already smelled the sweetness and fragrance of blood. What about you?"
"Kill them all!"
The evil professions below are very enthusiastic.
At this time, a ray of morning light came from the eastern sky, and the darkness receded like a tide, leaving the sky green and hazy.
Dawn has arrived.
[Ding! The road to the Lost City has been opened, please arrive as soon as possible. 】
At this moment, everyone in the copy opened the map tacitly.
I saw only a red route appearing in the vast virgin forest, leading to the basin in the center of the forest.
There is the Lost City.
After walking along the red road marked on the map for half an hour, everyone in the Mountain God Camp finally passed through the lush virgin forest and saw the blue sky and the ruined city ahead.
It's like entering another world.
Although this world is also covered with a lot of vegetation.
In front of everyone, there is an elevated road with a broken bridge deck, and load-bearing columns stand alone, covered with moss, showing the traces of time and desolation.
Zhang Yuanqing and others looked around, looking across the elevated road. In the distance were dilapidated buildings with exposed steel skeletons. Some of them had collapsed, some were riddled with holes due to the erosion of time, and some were covered by clumps of trees.
Wrapped by green vines, the hard concrete becomes the nourishment for the roots to grow and extend.
The straight road is full of cracks and covered with moss, and the moss provides a basis for the survival of weeds.
Vehicles were parked in disorder on the street, covered with gray and black rust, and weeds growing around the shriveled wheels.
Nature takes over everything.
"It's so shocking. It turns out that this is what the city looked like after humans disappeared." Sun Miaomiao said with emotion.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing side task 2, you will be rewarded with 20 points. 】
The second side mission is to travel through the vast forbidden forest to find the lost city.
[Ding! Side mission four: The unfinished sacrifice ceremony.]
[Task description: A long time ago, a powerful evil cultivator sneaked into a human city. He controlled the creatures in the city, and used the blood and souls of innocent creatures as sacrifices to the terrible existence in the dark, in an attempt to obtain
More powerful force.
[The terrifying existence in the dark responded to him and came to reality. However, the nosy mountain god stopped all this. The mountain god condensed mountains with flesh and blood, his hair turned into a forest, and his will turned into a brave mountain monkey.
The existence is sealed in the blood pool.
[Time passed, and the long years caused the seal to loosen, and the corpse of the evil cultivator turned into a bloodthirsty monster. Driven by obsession, it stole four pieces of the heart of the forest. 】
[Mission requirements: The blood pool is in the center of the city, shrouded by four formations. Please defeat the evil cultivator, regain the "Heart of the Forest" gem, and strengthen the seal. 】
As I expected, this level does not require decryption. The mission goal is clearly stated. The goal of the mountain god camp is to regain the heart of the forest. So the goal of the mountain ghost is to stop us?
The two camps are fighting around four "Hearts of the Forest"?
Zhang Yuanqing analyzed it silently in his mind.
Everyone also remained silent, chewing, and analyzing the content of the mission.
The soldier crossing the river wearing camouflage military pants said:
"The situation is not good for us. There are evil cultivators in the mountain ghost camp to help us, so we are not optimistic."
The World Returns to Fire said:
"That's not an evil cultivator, it's a monster that evolved from his obsession and corpse after death. It shouldn't be at its peak, at most it's at the early stage of level 4. Then, the Mountain Ghost camp is holding on to its strength and is trying to level the battle with us."
A group of people walked along the dilapidated road and went deep into the ruins of the city.
While talking and walking, I encountered elk, wild dogs, monkeys and other animals along the way, running around in the ruins of the city. When they saw strangers approaching, they fled away and stared at them in the distance.
At this moment, Fairy Peony shook her nose and said:
“smells of blood”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone who was walking slowly saw the scene ahead. In the tall grass, a group of wild dogs were eating a corpse.
The body had just died and the blood had not yet dried up.
Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank.
He knew the deceased, and his spiritual realm ID was "Justice is in the Sword". He was the fourth-ranked witch and Gu master on the list of casual cultivators, and he was still above "Seeing the Treasure in the Pipe".
How could he die here?
Is there internal strife in the mountain ghost camp?
Jiang Jingwei fired several fireballs to drive away the wild dogs that were eating the corpse.
Everyone stepped forward, and the soldier crossing the river squatted down, inspected it, and said:
"His neck was pinched, and his heart was taken out. Apart from that, there were no other wounds. He died very simply, and there was no time to turn it into a poison. The person who took action was very powerful and terrifying."
Zhang Yuanqing's face was solemn:
"We all understood it wrong. Side mission four is different from what we thought."
