Chapter 511: Chapter 80: Four Knights

The four cautiously made their way across the desolate ancient battlefield.

Unlike the usual caution they practiced, this time they were especially vigilant, somewhat traumatized by the recent Yin Tide.

It’s like being bitten by a snake and fearing the well rope for ten years.

While walking, the four kept a wary eye on every movement in the grass, fearing another sudden outbreak.

Although it was said that a Yin Tide couldn’t possibly occur again in such a short time, they took their safety precautions to the extreme.

As soon as they left the city gates, they summoned all they could.

Ye Luo’s zombies, Ghost Servants, Bai Ze’s Protecting Heaven Soldiers, Xiao Jie’s Big Orange, and I Want to Be Immortal’s Wolf Spirit.

Together, as a group of four people and their five pets, they felt somewhat more reassured.

When they encountered Little Monsters, they fought with the vigor of a lion attacking a rabbit, which made killing the monsters exceedingly efficient.

The only one feeling down was Bai Ze, who no longer dared to practice his swordsmanship leisurely; he had to use all his spells when needed.

While fending off monsters, they calculated the speed of gaining Experience Points and Weapon Experience, fearing an accidental upgrade.

Fortunately, getting from level 29 to 30 required a tremendous amount of experience, so they didn’t need to worry about leveling up for the time being.

At least if they could trigger a special event, there might still be a chance to advance to Sword Master—as Bai Ze comforted himself.

If not, they’d have to at least aim for Master-level Swordsmanship and take a gamble.

While leading the way, Xiao Jie kept checking the coordinates and recalling the locations of previous Yin Energy whirlpools.

Based on game logic, Yi Wushuang’s entry into the secret realm might be tied to the appearance of the so-called Magic Treasure; otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence that she ran into the secret realm as soon as the Yin Tide broke out?

Why hadn’t anyone discovered this secret realm earlier?

Following the coordinates, Xiao Jie found that the location of the Yin Energy whirlpool was quite close to the direction marked by Yi Wushuang’s coordinates.

This further confirmed his guess.

After more than an hour of walking, the four finally reached the edge of the ancient battlefield, where the barren wilderness turned into a gloomy forest, with some long-abandoned fields visible amidst the deserted woods.

It seemed that there had indeed once been villages and fields here, but now they were all overgrown with gray weeds; occasionally, one could see corpses buried in the soil and shattered armor.

They continued through the forest and suddenly came upon a fork in the road.

Xiao Jie pulled up the map and calculated the direction, then paused in surprise.

Oops, he had miscalculated.

Previously, the Yin Energy whirlpool was in the Northwest Direction, but the coordinates pointed towards the Northeast.

Well, everyone makes mistakes. The question now was, should they check the location of the Yin Energy whirlpool first, or go look for Yi Wushuang’s secret realm.

As he hesitated, Ye Luo suddenly said, "Wait here for me. I’ll check it out alone."

With that, Ye Luo headed directly towards the fork leading northwest.

Xiao Jie was a bit worried but also curious; if there really was a Magic Treasure, it would be better to see it with his own eyes—just in case he had a chance to claim it.

Besides, Ye Luo had helped him many times; it was inappropriate to just stand by while he sought something.

Plus, with his Legendary Trait Gods and Ghosts Avoid, what was there to fear?

"Bai Ze, Cheng Xian, you two wait here. I’ll have a look," Xiao Jie said, following Ye Luo.

Bai Ze watched the two walking away, feeling torn. That was a Magic Treasure! Having played the game for so long and never having seen what a Magic Treasure looked like, maybe he should have a look? After all, he knew the Invisibility Technique. What was there to fear?

"Cheng Xian, wait here for me," he said, and casting the Invisibility Technique, he disappeared into a puff of white smoke and followed them.

Leaving only I Want to Be Immortal standing there, utterly astonished.

Fortunately, the summoned creatures of the group were all left there. Seeing the surrounding Heavenly Soldier Big Orange, I Want to Be Immortal felt a little less anxious. Well, might as well wait for a while.

——————

Xiao Jie soon caught up with Ye Luo.

Seeing Xiao Jie, Ye Luo didn’t seem surprised and asked calmly, "Why did you follow?"

Although it was a question, his tone suggested he already knew the answer.

"I was worried about you," Xiao Jie replied.

"Aren’t you afraid it’s not a Magic Treasure but a Ghost King?"

"What’s there to fear? I can run away even if it is a Ghost King."

"Heh, suit yourself."

As they talked, they reached the edge of the forest and suddenly realized they were too late. Ahead of the forest was an open farm, and on the ground, there was a huge spiral mark left by a gale, and all the plants within it were decaying—clearly the previous location of the Yin Energy whirlpool.

At the time, the whirlpool was gone, but at the location of the trace, they could see more than a dozen bodies of Tomb Robbers.

And around the bodies, a group of about seven or eight players were gathered.

The two did not reveal themselves rashly; Xiao Jie took a careful look and recognized several familiar faces, all survivors from the Soul Suppressing Pass.

These guys moved fast...

"Hurry up, dig! The treasure must be here."

"Anyone got a shovel for sale?"

"Those without shovels, stay alert, there might be a fight soon!"

"Both Masters of Magic, get your spells ready, don’t screw this up."

"There’s definitely something good underground, we could retire once we get it."
