I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 732 - 732 731. Grand Funeral for Allied Forces_1

Chapter 732: 731. Grand Funeral for Allied Forces_1 Chapter 732: 731. Grand Funeral for Allied Forces_1 At the moment the Iron Lizard froze, its gaze seemed to be drawn to something, looking deep into the dense forest.

The next moment.

A beam of light burst forth from the midst of the forest, engulfing the upper body of the Iron Lizard at a speed beyond the capture of the naked eye.

The light was thick and blindingly bright, temporarily robbing all players of their vision, plunging the whole world into a flickering black and white.

In front of this pillar of light, the colossal Iron Lizard seemed no more than a small lizard; it couldn’t react in time before the light overwhelmed it.

Old Eggplant clung tightly to the hilt of his sword, fearful of being thrown off. He too saw that light, which was like the redemption of the Goddess of Dawn, giving him a sense of relief.

This was the power of the extraordinary, capable of defeating even such a massive monster within the light.

Old Eggplant felt the sanctified power.

Then, he realized that he seemed to be within the range of the firepower as well.

“?”

Old Eggplant hadn’t had the chance to protest before he was vaporized along with that light.

Like Old Eggplant, a dozen other players were simultaneously resolved by this one shot.

Of course, half of the Iron Lizard’s head was already melting, with the scalding iron flowing down its neck toward the ground.

The soft soil, irrigated by the molten iron, was penetrated, likely to form an anthill-like shape after cooling.

Looking at the wound’s cross-section, one could see that the monster’s exterior was covered in a thick layer of metallic ore. Further inside was red flesh, and in the very center, shining silver steel bones.

It seemed that its very skin was made of steel, only covered by iron ore over the years of erosion, providing it with a protective shell. These creatures typically live for hundreds, even thousands of years, becoming the strongest shields in the Black Forest through long accumulations.

Other Demonic Beasts of the Black Forest, intimidated by the Iron Lizard’s massive size and tough skin and finding no value in them, would keep their distance, not daring to hunt them.

Unfortunately, they encountered players.

To the players, this monster was a treasure trove from head to toe.

Players, including the live audience, were somewhat stunned by this scene, unsure of what had happened.

The camera turned towards the location where the light had bloomed.

There, Cui Siter was slowly holstering his revolver, as if he had casually fired a single shot.

The trees in front of Cui Siter had been burnt to ashes, leaving a huge crater in their place.

“???”

Zheng Li was full of question marks.

Since when was Old Cui so powerful???

He was stunned for a moment before remembering that according to the previous setting, Cui Siter indeed possessed a superweapon capable of blasting through those monsters with a single shot.

So, this was a foreshadowing?

Zheng Li, looking at the barrage of “666” in the chat, suddenly felt that the players who had just died were somewhat pitiful.

Not only did they rush up to deliver themselves in several waves, but they were also killed by friendly fire.

Truly a bit tragic.

Meanwhile, in the mud pit, Old Eggplant, who had just resurrected, was also dumbfounded.

He looked around at the players who had been solemnly buried by friendly fire, still not having snapped back to reality.

“It seems this monster can still be defeated by gunfire,” he muttered.

Cui Siter clapped his hands. If not for Lu Ban telling him that these players could not only resurrect but also relished in it, he might have hesitated to directly take down the enemy along with the allies in one fell swoop.

“The plan was a success.”

Lu Ban nodded in agreement.

Their battle plan was quite simple: propose a seemingly viable plan to attract the players’ attention, and then let Cui Siter fire a shot when the time was right.

It was very much in Cui Siter’s style of combat.

He walked forward, reached the edge of the pit, and spoke out loud.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thanks to everyone’s efforts, we have finally defeated this monster. Now its body is our war spoils. Let’s clean up the battlefield in an orderly fashion—victory belongs to us!”

The players, who were still in shock from the Iron Lizard’s sudden death, struggled to process Lu Ban’s words.

But soon, some players began to catch on.

“I get it; it’s a plot kill!”

“Plot kill?”

“Such a strong monster—we definitely couldn’t have taken it down on our own. We would have died dozens of times, so really, this world event just required us to hold out for a while, and then the NPCs would take down the boss directly with a plot kill.”

“Holy shit, there’s a setting like that?”

“Yeah, right. Many games have this sort of mechanism. I was wondering why they sent us on a suicide mission.”

“Too bad for those who charged to the front.”

“Can we learn that cannon shot from just now? Coach, I want to learn!”

“Time to loot bodies for materials. Didn’t it drop any equipment?”

Seeing this, the viewers in the livestream seemed to be infected with the excitement as well.

Zheng Li saw that the comments streaming by were all full of astonishment and exclamations.

[If I were there on the site, I would be thrilled to death!]

[This is so epic, holy shit, too awesome!]

[The idea of hundreds of people participating in this hunt together feels so exciting!]

[What was that last shot all about? It was too powerful. Will players be able to master it in the future?]

[Quick, quick, quick, go see what equipment dropped!]

Although the battle was brief, the heart-stopping struggle against nature from the very start, the despair after witnessing such power, the fearless charge of players like Old Eggplant, and that final cannon shot that dimmed the heavens and the earth…

This sensation was something many could not encounter in real life and could hardly find in games, yet now, this battle fulfilled their fantasies built up over many years.

If anyone had doubts before about Lu Ban’s [Cage] being a scam, now the only thing on everyone’s mind was: when could they actually play [Cage]!

Every player, and indeed every person, has such desires deep in their hearts: the longing for adventure, freedom, combat, and reward.

And [Cage] was the physical manifestation of these desires.

The players on-site, however, felt somewhat different.

Zhou Changqing was lucky enough to survive. In fact, he didn’t dare to run out at all. He only heard various shouts intertwining together, followed by a deafening roar that silenced the world, and then the dust settled.

He stepped out from behind the tree where he had been hiding and saw the ghastly state of the battlefield. His heart was a mix of relief, regret, and anticipation.

He was relieved to have survived but regretted not charging out to fight side by side with the other players. What he anticipated most was what they would get after dealing with this monster.

Would it be a legendary sword or indestructible armor, or perhaps some priceless treasure or secret manual?

With those thoughts, players eagerly gathered around the Iron Lizard’s corpse, the earlier horror already forgotten. To the players, no matter how tough the fight against the monster had been, as long as they could roll for loot, that was pure bliss.

Zhou Changqing saw a crowd of players surrounding the gigantic carcass, chattering away.

He craned his head to look over.
