Chapter 1702: 569. The first step to slaying a god: start by digging graves – an extra chapter for “Huo Zheng Ting Hao” brother 【11/30】_2
It explained:
“This map records the whereabouts of the last group of Hunting Guards of the King of Bone Biting. Those loyal warriors continue to guard the ‘King of Bone Biting’s Hidden Treasure’ even after death! There lies the legendary armor and weapons of the King of Bone Biting, and only the bravest among you are qualified to take them up and inherit Lord Felix’s war spirit.
I must remind you, this trial is very difficult, and you will receive no further support. You can only rely on yourselves to enter that tomb.
Ninety days!
If you cannot accomplish this in ninety days, I will have to regretfully choose others.”
“Who are you looking down on?”
Meow Brother, leaning on Vam’s Headsman, immediately retorted:
“We will prove our bravery with actions, we will obtain those legendary weapons, and then use them to beat the crap out of that ridiculous Master of Hunting. We’re not afraid of any Evil God!”
“Exactly! We are the formidable Fourth Calamity! Whatever Evil God you are, we’ll crush you in one wave, snatch your headdress right off your head!”
The crowd erupted with arrogant proclamations, leaving Murphy chuckling in disbelief.
Hog’s riling strategy seemed a bit too effective, making these guys howl to prove themselves.
But that’s indeed a good thing.
The players who got the treasure map didn’t waste time. After confirming the location was deep within the forbidden zone of the Polluted Swamp, they discussed the “order of strategy” and almost without hesitation set out overnight.
Though the Silver Moon Group girls were still at Adel’s place for a task about the Shadow Valley outpost, that task clearly wasn’t something that could be completed in a day or two, so they also didn’t hesitate to follow the others to teleport to Wolf Castle.
However, not everyone is so reckless.
After most people left the temple, Happy Stick and Meow Brother ran over to Murphy’s side, and they quietly asked:
“Sir Murphy, although we are pleased to be chosen as deity-slaying warriors, our compatriots also definitely don’t want to miss the chance to take part in such a grand legend. So, can we select some followers to join us?”
“Of course you can!”
Murphy explained gently:
“I tested forty of you during the Holy Blood Festival, and I know you are definitely qualified. That playful battle wasn’t just for my personal enjoyment of combat; it was all part of the ‘big plan’!
As those acknowledged by me as the talented ones, the others you choose must also be real warriors.
Hog isn’t dead set on just 120 people. In fact, this Black Disaster will help us select the truly brave ones, and when the major event occurs, every courageous one who dares to challenge the Evil God will have a chance to become a hero.
I believe you are the best warriors among foreigners, and you won’t happily let this honor slip away.
But if, during this process, other warriors prove themselves stronger than you, then Hog might change his mind, after all, Lord Wise Wolf is the leader of this operation.
Moreover, Lord Paryen personally oversees the second stage of selection, and I am not qualified to make more suggestions in front of the Millennium Lord.
If the strict lord deems you unqualified, you don’t need to be upset, you can also return to the base in Transylvania to contribute to the resistance against the Wolf People.
Others may despise and mock you, but Triss and I will never give up on you, you don’t have to cry just because you couldn’t face it outside, Transylvania is always your warm home!”
Hearing Sir Murphy mention the “big plan” again after such a long time, Meow Brother and Stick Brother immediately felt a surge of relief, it seemed their main line NPC had not forgotten about the grand vows made before.
But after listening to Murphy’s description, the two guys immediately felt a headache.
Great.
So the slot for the 120 deity-slaying group isn’t fixed! Is this a competitive selection mode? But considering the players who enter the game afterward probably can’t surpass their seniority within 90 days unless they are all combat geniuses.
But you can think with your butt and know such people can’t be all over the place.
Damn it!
Better get moving now, it would be embarrassing to lose the spot to someone else, how could they hold their heads up on the forum afterward?
Seeing Meow and Happy Stick gritting their teeth, Murphy, the Dog Planner, suddenly showed a subtle smile, this legendary task was probably the most significant task line since the game’s closed beta.
He could be sure that once this task advanced to the final step, any player with skills wouldn’t miss that scene.
Although this thing is essentially a sneak attack operation, and Lord Paryen will also assign people, being allowed to let 120 from Transylvania participate is already quite remarkable, but the lord didn’t say Hog and Murphy couldn’t release some supporting, external interception tasks then.
Why?
Are those handling logistics not also warriors?
Such matters should not be treated differently.
In short, the priority now is to hype it up, let all players know this legendary quest chain exists, to facilitate concentrating efforts for the big plan in the later stages! This is a promotional tactic Murphy learned from one of the most famous cases in the gaming scene, the “Ahn’Qiraj Opening” event.
Hey, to unify players of the chaotic faction, there’s always a technique to it.
