Chapter 344: Chapter 321: Bro Continues to Jungle, You Guys Hold On

—System Prompt: You and your troops have entered the Ancient City Ruins sewers, please maintain vigilance and search; unknown dangers and rewards await you!

Now, Da Fei’s entire army entered a pitch-black narrow sewer, completely congested. However, for Da Fei, who just activated the amazing mode and won a victory, with ultra-strong firepower and unbeatable control, no dangers could stop him. The question was which direction to go?

Although the Reconnaissance Skill had night vision functionality, its purpose wasn’t to see farther at night but to minimize the impact of night on vision. Moreover, since it was complete darkness here, not really nighttime, even with Da Fei’s God-level Reconnaissance Skill, it wasn’t as good as normal vision.

Da Fei began to regret not being prepared for this journey; knowing they’d be traveling at night, he should have bought torches for every soldier back at the barracks. In this game, soldiers also have an equipment bar; ordinary soldiers carry a miscellaneous items bar for dry rations. Special soldiers, like pirates, come with a looting items bar. If you learn the Lord System Skill "Armed Forces," each skill level-up allows you to add an equipment bar for the soldiers.

But only tycoons can afford this kind of gameplay. For the sake of game data balance, ordinary players equipping soldiers suffer a percentage attribute reduction, i.e., armor with 10 Defense might only have 1 or 2 points on soldiers. And an ordinary soldier costs a few dozen Gold Coins, a piece of broken leather armor also costs dozens, and once soldiers die, the equipment is lost unless they are high-level or elite troops that can enjoy such benefits.

Speaking of which, Da Fei had made some money and it was time to invest in some equipment for the 44 sweetheart Elite Banshees. From the battle just now it was clear, even the elite form of durable units like Unicorns aren’t dependable on the battlefield; a little more protection is always good. Anyway, he’ll handle it after the match.

While Da Fei hesitated around, a golden light suddenly flashed on the radar mini-map, and simultaneously, a light seemed to flicker and disappear from the dark corridor ahead!

Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched! Gold light, bright light! What a familiar scene!

That’s right, it was when Brother encountered this situation in the Vortex Sea Demon’s mouth! Back then Brother also had Invincible Luck, treasure hunting in the garbage mountain! This is Brother’s Treasure Appraiser profession at work! There’s treasure here for sure, haha, how convenient! This effect is like an immortal lighting the way, much more effective than God-level Reconnaissance.

Nothing left to say, the 5 Blood Defense Storm Druids with level 7 troops walked ahead side by side; it was time to test their combat power to prevent any confusion when running merchant runs at sea in the future.

The troops advanced, golden blips on the radar flashed continuously, getting closer to the destination. Finally, in the darkness ahead, a faint eerie glow shone; treasure! Exactly! Typically, where there’s treasure, there are monsters guarding it, right? But the Reconnaissance Skill isn’t alerting due to the dark?

No! That’s not right; back when Brother was on Newbie Island, it was dark too, the distance was even farther, and even Intermediate Reconnaissance Skill set off alarms, God-level Reconnaissance Skill should definitely alert! Then there’s only one possibility, the monster is extremely powerful, powerful to the point that even Reconnaissance Skill has difficulty detecting it! And this manhole cover was so hard to find, and then tough to open, surely the monsters inside are very strong. At least monsters in darkness aren’t afraid of Blinding Skill.

Nothing left to say, the usual tactic, bait them to see who’s the hunter and who’s the prey! Da Fei waved to Alicia.

—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia released God-level Magic "Illusion Army" spell on your Druid army! Materialized Illusion Druid Army appeared on the battlefield.

Amid the flicker of Demon Light, 50 illusionary Druids appeared in front of the army, and then advanced towards the treasure’s location. Meanwhile, Da Fei’s troops cautiously followed.

Suddenly, a green light flash in the darkness, the Illusion Army vanished in an explosion! Also at this moment, Da Fei’s screen was hit with a red alert!

—System Prompt: Warning! You are attacked by an unknown powerful monster! Battle begins!

Now that the battle’s started, what’s the use of an alert? Fight!

In that instant, Flame Chain, arrows, and Magic Eggs filled the narrow corridor, striking the advancing figures like a fabled Particle Cannon—Boom boom boom boom! The entire sewer was once again engulfed in flames!

Da Fei froze in shock! No system prompt! Looks like they didn’t kill a single one!

Just then, over a dozen agile figures emanating green light dashed out of the flames from the ground, walls, and ceiling, charging towards Da Fei’s troops with amazing speed and angles!

Da Fei’s eyes shrank in surprise! Scaling walls and ceilings! Healing Skill! Such incredible speed; will it give the archers a second chance to fire? Da Fei couldn’t help but shout loudly, "Swarm Disturbance!"

—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia cast God-level Magic "Swarm Disturbance" on the Lizardman Assassins! Inflicted 143 damage!

The damage was ridiculously low, but even more maddening was a giant string of "Immunity to Blindness" and "Immunity to Frenzy" letters appearing above them, shattering Da Fei’s confidence! Scaling walls, immune to blindness, immune to mind control; it’s so similar to the spider demons mentioned, yet their speed far surpassed. Even the Unicorns’ charge didn’t match!

There’d be no second chance for the archers; it’s a head-on fight! Brother has numbers!

Right then, a flash of light in the tunnel, and suddenly, a wind pressure filled the whole corridor, causing Da Fei’s breath to catch! What is this?

—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia cast Master-level Light Magic "Storm Attack" on the Lizardman Assassins!

A gust of wind swept in, instantly scouring clean the water flow beneath the tunnel, and the wind pressure mixed with the water surge slammed into the charging Lizardman Assassins; their advance suddenly stalled, while those on the walls and ceiling were unable to steady themselves and fell directly to the ground! A big banner of "Slowed" and "Broken Wings" popped up.

The sudden turnaround thrilled Da Fei. Turns out this wall-scaling really was flying! No wonder their speed was so outrageously fast! Now these guys have no more tricks up their sleeves!

—Boom boom boom boom! Another round of "Particle Cannon" barrage thundered out, this time they failed to charge out of the firestorm.

—System Prompt: Congratulations! You defeated the Lizardman Assassins and discovered the sewer treasure guarded by them. You obtained Hero’s Proof +1.

Oh yeah! Finally downed them; I told you a mere bunch of wild monsters couldn’t be tougher than elite Unicorns with Korea-enhanced bonuses, right? Strength should have limits too, otherwise, isn’t it screwing with players? Generally, a monster’s Life is proportional to its strength. If I hadn’t seized the initiative, letting them rush into my ranged formation would have been a big problem. Other troops can be resurrected when dead, but if Banshees die, Selvia’s Light Magic can’t revive them, making casualties troublesome.

Anyway, let’s see what treasures they were guarding.

—System Prompt: You opened the treasure and received the competition item "Lizardman Healing Staff."

—Lizardman Healing Staff: After use, the entire army gains Poison Resistance receiving a continuous recovery effect of 5% Life Value per second, lasting 1 day in-game. Competition items can only be used in this competition venue.

—System Prompt: You earned a competition bonus of +200,000 Gold Coins, received competition reward "Life Book" +1, received competition reward Concentrated Mercury +10 units, Refined Crystal Gem +10 units. Competition rewards will be distributed to your home server’s account mailbox after the competition ends.

Da Fei’s eyelid twitched! So the items obtained in the competition can be brought back to the home server! Makes sense, didn’t Brother win 10,000 Gold Coins in competition when conquering the Bell Tower earlier?

Gold Coins are trivial now, but the Life Book is a real treasure; during the public test, a book with +20 Life value was hyped over a thousand US Dollars each! As for Concentrated Mercury, Refined Crystal Gem, these are said to be high-end resources only appearing in the New Continent. 1 unit equals 10 units of the Old Continent! Right, didn’t Brother pick up a few units on Newbie Island back then? He used them to feed the Anemone King, which is now out of production, so Brother can use these resources to satisfy it!

Hahaha! This competition was truly worth it, and worthy of Brother’s efforts opening the manhole! This is only the first treasure, there must be more treasures behind, right? Brother will empty them all, haha, hahaha!

Just as Da Fei was laughing, a message chimed; it was Lei Huolong.

Lei Huolong excitedly said, "Brother Fei, I did it, I overpowered a Japanese guy named Sessho Kanpaku! Haha, hahahaha!"

You haha nothing! You call that awesome? I’ve taken down so many Japanese I’m too lazy to remember their names! Da Fei grunted, "Hm. Keep it up, keep hammering down the Japanese!"

Lei Huolong then asked, "Did Brother Fei just take down a Korean?"

Da Fei’s eyebrow jumped, damn! It’s only been a few minutes and they already know?

Da Fei chuckled, "Yeah, it took some effort."

Lei Huolong exclaimed, "Really took him down! Just now, we received a message from Korea saying Brother Fei used a Divine Artifact, telling people to watch out! Does that mean Brother Fei is in God of Luck status?"

Damn! What a dumb question; you should ask who Brother Fei defeated, if there’s any video footage for the little brothers to learn from! Really knows how to press the wrong button; what’s most frustrating is having used the Divine Artifact early on; even if I qualify this match, how am I going to fight the next with dark skies of Misfortune overhead?

Da Fei flatly said, "Brother is hurt; going to fight some wild monsters to rest, you guys hold it."

Lei Huolong quickly said, "Okay, Brother Fei take it slow, leave the front to us, the back still needs Brother Fei to clear the field; there are too many foreigners."

Da Fei nodded, "Got it."

Bottom line, having used the Divine Artifact means the championship is out of reach; all that’s left is to contribute in this match. Guessing Boss Ma is too embarrassed to say it himself, so he sent you, right? But since it’s about contributing, I’ll definitely focus on farming; now killing has no meaning, farming might bring some benefit, otherwise, how to justify the loss of the championship’s $1 million prize loss?

All in all, Brother will keep farming, you guys stand firm! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) and cast a recommendation vote, monthly vote; your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
