Ding Jilin was running quickly in the wind and snow. Today, all he had to do was run. The flying snow kept falling on his hair, shoulders, and even on his armor. With his body temperature, it accumulated
The snow continued to melt and condense, forming patches of frost and ice edges on the armor. The weather was really freezing to death.
Fortunately, in the Fiery Sun Sword carried behind Ding Jilin's back, rays of light like a golden warm sun flowed out from the gap between the scabbard and the hilt, lingering around Ding Jilin's body and warming him up a lot.
Otherwise, the game experience would be quite bad. Even if he lowered the somatosensory system to the limit of 5, the freezing cold weather would still be very uncomfortable.
The task given by Shi Lan is not too difficult, it is just reconnaissance. It may be difficult for ordinary players, but Ding Jilin is a person in the form of an assassin, so it is a piece of cake!
… ??
After 20 minutes, arrive at the place where you did the previous task.
Ding Jilin's body sank slightly, and he switched to the assassin form and entered the state of drifting into the night. His body turned into an afterimage in the snowy night, and he immediately stepped into the map ahead - the Burning Canyon.
The moment we entered the Burning Canyon, the snow stopped, or rather, the snow did not stop, but when the heavy snow fell over the Burning Canyon, it had already melted and evaporated. The entire Burning Canyon seemed to be sitting on the crater of a volcano.
There were fiery red earth marks everywhere, and the entire canyon seemed to be burning.
"Jiejie..."
In the distance, a group of ghouls and giant-mouthed ghosts are entrenched in the corrosive ground, warming up the aura of death, and some are carrying corpses that come from unknown sources.
Ding Jilin quietly passed through the group of monsters and continued to advance toward the depths of the canyon.
After walking a long way, a large number of Death Legion troops appeared in front, including skull knights, death knights, and necromancers densely packed on the rocks. The entire canyon was shrouded in a strong aura of death.
"Um?"
He squinted his eyes and saw a huge building appearing in the center of the canyon ahead. It was a bloody throne shaped like a pyramid, filled with the bones of various creatures. On top of the throne, there was a man sitting with a bloody weapon in his hand.
Looking at the sword boss from a distance, one can only confirm that it is a human king level boss.
Around the throne, death knights are densely gathered, and there is an entire army of death legions.
Ding Jilin frowned and found that in the mission interface, the exploration degree had reached 75, which was not enough.
So, he bit the bullet and continued to walk forward in stealth mode for about 200 meters.
"Um?"
On the throne, the boss frowned and sniffed his nose, as if he smelled the scent of a stranger, but he didn't find anything wrong with his glance.
So he frowned and immediately continued to close his eyes to rest. Even if one or two human assassins sneaked in, it would be harmless and would not affect the overall situation.
At this time, Ding Jilin got closer and saw small doors appearing under the throne. At this time, there was someone Bulky figures came in and out of the small door.
They are undead creatures that look like spiders and ants. Their bodies are covered with carapace condensed with the breath of death. They are a classic monster among the undead.
Cryptodemon, a monster that specializes in spider silk attacks.
Ding Jilin frowned, and he could already confirm that there was a cave under the throne, and there was an underground palace of the undead, and there might be a more powerful army and boss hidden in the underground palace!
Obviously, this death army in the Burning Canyon is definitely not an ordinary undead army. They have been planning here for a long time!
The Burning Canyon is less than half an hour's journey from the Sky Tower. It's faster if you ride a bicycle. It can be reached in 15 minutes. The purpose of building an underground palace of death in such a close place is too obvious. It is building a bridgehead.
Convenient for attacking the Sky Tower.
Sure enough, the undead have been dormant for a long time, and now they are finally going to move the Sky Tower!
Ding Jilin frowned, thinking about the combat power of the Sky Tower. Can it really withstand the onslaught of the Death Army? Difficult, once it is besieged, it will be difficult to survive alone.
Go back first and report to Shi Lan.
"Whoosh!"
A wisp of the team's cloud-penetrating arrow appeared, and Ding Jilin's tool man who had just been left in the Xifeng camp came online and directly pulled him back. This back and forth was too time-consuming and labor-intensive.
"Thanks!"
Ding Jilin and the tool man smiled and nodded, and the tool man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and set up the stall. If the leader needs to draw arrows, just chat with me privately. You're welcome."
"Um."
Ding Jilin turned around and led a group of NC Fire Lotus Cavalry to the Sky Tower.
…
Under the Sky Tower, Ding Jilin described the details of the Burning Canyon in detail.
"oh?"
Shi Lan crossed her arms, resting her knuckles on her chin, her beautiful eyes narrowed, her pretty face full of solemnity.
"The undead people are so stubborn, they will never die in destroying our human race!"
Qing Lei said in a deep voice, "If they are allowed to build this bridgehead, the Burning Canyon will probably become the former military camp of the Death Legion. By then, their troop deployment and supplies will become extremely convenient, and ours
The supplies come from Yunzhou, which is thousands of miles away. As a result, the Sky Tower may become a truly lonely army."
"Um."
Shi Lan nodded, Qing Lei's words made sense.
"Ding Jilin, thank you for bringing back the important news."
Shi Lan looked at Ding Jilin, smiled and nodded.
The next moment, the reward is obtained——
"Ding!"
The system prompts Congratulations on completing the task.
Explore the Burning Canyon and get rewards of +17 experience points, +300 gold coins, and +1200 reputation points for this level!
…
"Whoosh!"
A ray of golden light rained down, and Ding Jilin had reached level 92.
"Lord Shi Lan."
Shen Shuang frowned and said, "We must have a plan, otherwise... the Sky Tower will face disaster. This matter is closely related to us. There is no need to inform the Chu Dynasty in Yandi City. We can make our own decision."
.”
"..."
Shi Lan was silent.
Ding Jilin looked at Shi Lan, with her short hair and pretty face, she was so pretty.
Shi Lan also looked at Ding Jilin, and there was something wrong with her eyes.
"Ding Jilin."
Shi Lan frowned slightly and said, "Your mission has been completed and you can return to the West Wind Camp."
"..."
Ding Jilin was startled. Is Shi Lan trying to protect himself? He doesn't want him to hear the information about high-level decisions? After all, he is just a commander of external cavalry, which seems to be reasonable, but he still feels quite unhappy!
He frowned, cupped his fists and said, "Master Shi Lan, you want to expedition to the Burning Canyon, right?"
"you……"
Shi Lan bit her red lips and stopped talking.
"Ding Jilin!"
Qing Lei said with a stern tone, "Didn't you hear Master Shi Lan's order? If you are asked to retreat, then retreat. How to act is a matter decided by the upper level of the Sky Tower and has nothing to do with you!"
Immediately, two Fire Lotus cavalry stepped forward with their swords pressed, placed their hands on Ding Jilin's shoulders, and pushed him back.
"Do not touch me!"
Ding Jilin was a little angry, and suddenly shook off the palms of the two Fire Lotus Cavalry. He took a few steps back, looked in the direction of Shi Lan, and said, "I know I'm a newcomer. It doesn't matter if Lord Shi Lan doesn't trust me.
I can even understand that adults want to exclude me from this operation, but I only have one sentence."
He said solemnly, "If the Sky Tower wants to make a long-distance attack on the Burning Canyon, it must be careful of the Tingfeng land it passes along the way. The terrain there is narrow and mountainous and forested, which is really suitable for an ambush. Once the Death Legion ambush there,
We can be easily divided into two, which will be very detrimental to the cavalry operations of the Sky Tower. I mean, it is best to divide the troops into 20,000, detour from the east of Tingfeng Land, and directly attack the back of Tingfeng Land. If
Lord Shi Lan believes in me, I am willing to lead people to carry out a roundabout attack mission to the east of Tingfeng Land."
"Shut up!"
Qing Lei said angrily, "Boy, Lord Shi Lan didn't say anything. Is it your turn to speak here?"
Ding Jilin was furious, "Qing Lei, if the Sky Tower is filled with idiots like you, then the Sky Tower will really be doomed!"
"you wanna die?!"
Qing Lei Meng Then he drew out his sword.
"stop!"
Shi Lan finally spoke, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking coldly at Qing Lei, one of his right-hand men, and said, "Qing Lei, do you want to cause internal strife in the Sky Tower? Ding Jilin is ours, if you dare to draw your sword against him again
If so, I will kill you with one sword strike!"
"Sir, I..."
Qing Lei looked horrified and hurriedly knelt down.
"Ding Jilin."
Shi Lan turned around, looked at the newcomer from the West Wind Camp, and said softly, "It's not that I don't want to trust you. On the contrary, my eyes can see through the good and evil of people. I believe in you, but the rules are the rules. You are in the sky."
The time in the tower is too short, so I can’t entrust you with the important task, but I will keep the advice from the Land of the Wind in mind.”
"Um……"
Ding Jilin nodded and turned around.
…
The moment he turned around, a ringtone suddenly echoed over the national server and lingered for a long time. Even Ding Jilin did not expect that one of his actions actually triggered a version event of the national server——
"Ding!"
System Announcement Dear players, please note that the human race in the south is at peace, but the war in the north is about to begin. The Sky Tower, the northern military powerhouse of the human race, is about to launch an expedition against the undead in the Burning Canyon. It is known in history as the Burning Expedition, expedition version.
The event will start at 12 noon tomorrow. All players above level 70 can be teleported to the Burning Crusade through the event interface. This battle is related to the survival of the Sky Tower. All players must rise up and guard the northern portal of the human race!
In the version event, the player who ranks first in the standings will definitely receive the King's Weapon reward. I wish everyone good luck!
…
In a local war originating from "outside the territory", the number of players involved is destined to be only a small number. The total number of players over level 70 in the national server will not be too many. Most players are destined to be outsiders.
Late at night, West Wind Camp.
Ding Jilin was carrying the Fierce Sun Sword and stood quietly outside the camp. The game time happened to be early in the morning.
The snow stopped, and the people and horses in the sky came out in an endless stream and began an expedition.
Shi Lan really took action, mobilizing a total of 3 Fire Lotus cavalry, 5 external cavalry, and a total of 8 cavalry. It was already a posture that would never return until the Burning Canyon was leveled.
"Whoosh!"
Ding Jilin jumped onto a grain truck and looked down at the crowd of cavalry passing by. When he saw Shi Lan and Shen Shuang riding past side by side, he frowned, put his hands on his mouth and shouted loudly, "Shi Lan"
Lan, sooner or later, I will become your right-hand man, I will follow you, make suggestions for you, and fight for you in the north and south!"
Suddenly, a group of Fire Lotus Cavalry were stunned, and all turned to look at Ding Jilin, as if they were looking at a fool.
Shi Lan, on the other hand, although she did not look back, she covered her mouth and chuckled.
