Chapter 374: Chapter 375: Please ask Night Ghost to help

The player from North America, standing in the far-off city, had not spotted Emperor Ji in the distant horizon, he was looking for a vantage point atop the city walls, hoping for any signs of movement. The high-level NPCs around him were completely non-interactive, due to his low player level. NPCs wouldn’t pay him any attention.

"Shift directions! See if there’s another way to go." Chu You sent a thought to Emperor Ji, then turned his head and looked back. A huge shape was slowly coming from there, it was an Elf Cave. Although large, its movement speed was much slower.

Just then, a voice message came from him.

"Night Ghost, one of my members is asking if there could be a price reduction, 360 million Gold Coins... it’s a bit too pricey." The boss of Fairy Tale Kingdom sent a voice message.

"Tell him 330 million is the lowest price, no more bargaining." he immediately replied.

"Oh, ok. He also mentioned that after buying this weapon, he wants to join your guild, Night Ghost do you agree?"

"I... disagree." Since the other party could afford this weapon, they must be a wealthy tycoon, who can play a significant role in the development of the guild. But for Chu You, this did not matter anymore. The guild’s upgrades and structures had been completed. The motivations of this tycoon were unclear, and with Jiucaier’s incident in mind, Chu You was no longer interested in recruiting for his guild.

Currently, Chu You found himself in the limelight. Many people were offering money on the forum to find his real identity. Through Zhao Feiyan, he learned that both the military and government were looking for him. Chu You had a vague sense of why: they wanted him to lead Huaxia in some secret affairs.

The substantial benefits were obvious to see. However, until the goal is achieved, other factors could be holding him back. The power of the people in reality was enormous, and their relationship with the government was equally close. If his identity was revealed, it would restrain him and bring lots of trouble. Although he did not fear trouble, no one liked it. In conclusion, Chu You genuinely had no interest in recruiting anymore. Instead, he felt a slight repulsion growing inside him.

"Oh, alright then." The head of Fairy Tale Kingdom sounds somewhat disappointed. Chu You didn’t say anything more, they can figure out what to do on their own.

"Master, turn right, after passing through that forest, you will see a small road." At this moment, Emperor Ji sent a thought.

Without a word, he led the 400 Enchanting Shooters to shift their direction, leaving the main road behind, and headed towards the dense forest.

At this time, the player in the distant town had reached the city wall, after looking around and finding nothing, he wondered if he had the wrong direction. With this thought, he planned to move from the east city wall to the south one.

Upon entering the forest, Chu You stopped. He gently waved his hand, and from behind, there came a great amount of ’swoosh’ sounds. These were the sounds made by the Enchanting Shooters when they release their bowstrings and arrows. The swift arrow shadows even made Chu You’s fringe sway a bit, indicating how fast the arrows were.

Right in front of him, some level 36 Poisonous Mushroom Kings and their offspring, the Small Poisonous Mushrooms, were hit by the arrows. Although the forest obstructed, these arrows were enough to annihilate the experience monsters in front of him. They were not any high-level elites, but just annoying soy sauce bottles.

The forest route was tough, there was no well-formed path beneath their feet, but thanks to Emperor Ji’s guidance, the route they took was relatively easier.

Looking up, night was about to fall in the game, and some dark creatures would appear on the vast land...

Chu You wasn’t worried at all, having so many sisters along his side took his fears away.

Suddenly, noise came from behind. Chu You turned around, only to see some shooter sisters had started climbing trees. As elves, they had the instinct to do so. The reason might either be feeling that the team had stopped moving forward or sensing dangerous air in this area. These urged the Enchanting Shooters to act instinctually.

If Cui Nuanjun were here, she would have handled this better than Chu You, who had stuffed the army in without any tactical arrangement.

"Get down, who told you to climb the trees!"

...

In the game, far away in the Huaxia region within the territory of the Great Qin Kingdom, there was a gloomy underground palace, Majorly based on some relics and totems in the palace, it seemed to be a burial site of a historical king.

At the moment, 24 players formed a squad are exploring here, they had finally reached a grand door of the palace in the depths after many difficulties. The team didn’t just comprises 24 players. There were also some pets accompanying the players. There was even a person who had five T4 Ghost Soldiers, they were similar to Skeleton Soldiers but had no feet. The lower half of their bodies were in a foggy state, floating. Each Ghost Soldier had four arms, holding substandard weapons: bow, knife, and shield.

Ghost Soldiers were not from the undead system, but they could be considered a distant cognate of the undead.

"I... phew, finally we get here. It really wasn’t easy." A male player almost blurted an expletive out, but he held it back when he saw one of the female players. His face was sweaty, and his physical strength had declined to only three points.

This player’s words resonated with the others. It indeed wasn’t easy to reach here. The monsters in this place were too strong, and they had had several near-death experiences on the way. Though this palace is not a dungeon, anyone can have access to it. It’s just that they were the first to discover it, the location was remote on the map. The reason why they could discover this palace was because the female player had read about it in a book.

This female player was no one else but Yue Xianfei, someone who had helped Chu You many times in the past. She was now at level 25.

Yue Xianfei was a female tycoon. No one knew that she had charged 5 million Game Coins in this game, and now she only had 3.8 million Game Coins left on her.

She founded a guild, named: Northern World!

This team of 24 members all belonged to the Northern World Guild, currently accompanying the female leader to conquer this underground palace.

"Xiao Luo, go ahead and open the palace door!" Yue Xianfei ordered. Most of her gear was ’Great Qin Kingdom Centurion Platinum Equipment’.

The one called was an assassin. He looked a bit startled upon hearing this, but then he ran over without another word. When he arrived at the palace door, he pulled out a key. This key was previously dropped from a dungeon boss. As he inserted the key into the slot and turned it, a sudden click echoed out, and the palace door opened.

The assassin, wearing a suit of leather armour, gently pushed open the door. Yue Xianfei saw that inside was a large hall. The hall was filled with massive pillars. From her viewpoint, the ceiling was invisible as if the hall was incredibly high. The pillars were not in a straight line arrangement; instead, they were surrounding a statue.

Strangely enough, there were no ghosts or monsters in the hall.

Upon seeing the statue, Yue Xianfei took a book from her backpack and flipped through a few pages to reveal a page with a picture. The figure in the picture bore a striking resemblance to the statue in front of her.

Yue Xianfei put the book back into her backpack. "Let’s go in," she said, leading the way.

The remaining 23 guild members immediately followed her into the final hall.

Their footsteps echoed eerily in the space as it was extremely quiet, and instead of the muddy ground they tread upon before, it was now stonework.

"You guys scour the nearby areas," Yue Xianfei instructed as she walked over to the statue. The statue wasn’t gigantic; it was just a bit taller than an average person.

Very soon, Yue Xianfei’s beautiful eyes locked onto something in the statue’s hand. Upon closer look, she could see it was a scroll that nearly matched the colour of the statue.

It was clear that the scroll in the statue’s hand could be taken out. Yue Xianfei’s heart skipped a beat as she reached out, grabbed the scroll, and gently pulled it free from the statue’s grasp.

Upon unrolling it, a system notification immediately rang out: You’ve discovered the Inheritance of Ancient Hero: Zhang Jiao.

At the same time, a pair of red rays shot out from the statue’s eyes. This sudden action startled Yue Xianfei, who looked over to see a red temporal rift emitting a mysterious and eerie aura.

System: To obtain Inheritance of Ancient Hero: Zhang Jiao, you must first defeat the ’Guardian of Inheritance’. If they kill you, you will permanently lose 20 of total attributes. Do you wish to start the inheritance process?

Guardian of Inheritance? Yue Xianfei thought a moment, then decisively rejected the start of the inheritance process. As soon as she canceled it, the red rift disappeared. Yue Xianfei knew that if she had agreed, the Guardian of Inheritance would have emerged from that rift.

Just when she was pondering this, the inheritance scroll in Yue Xianfei’s hand automatically detached and reappeared in the statue’s hand. This unexpected development caused Yue Xianfei’s eyes to change.

"Boss, you didn’t just discover an Ancient Hero Inheritance, did you?" a guild member asked in surprise.

Yue Xianfei furrowed her brows and nodded, feeling that this problem had become a bit tricky.

Soon, some guild members gathered around, chattering non-stop.

"What should we do? Should we call for more people to help?"

"Yeah, didn’t Fourth Son from Warwolf Guild get his inheritance through this method."

"How can we compare ourselves to them? They had 5,000 people surging in waves of attacks before they took it down, and even then, Fourth Son almost died. Can we at Northern World do that?"

"You’re right. God, the Guardian of Inheritance is ridiculously designed, not only powerful but also cunning," a player grumbled.

"So, should we ask the Warwolf people for help?" One of the players suggested, but was immediately rebuked by others.

"Asking Warwolf? I’d be surprised if they didn’t just snatch the inheritance scroll from us."

"So what do we do?"

At this time, the player who first spoke looked at the silent Yue Xianfei and said: "Yue Xian sister, did you know there would be an inheritance here? If so, do you have a plan?"

Yue Xianfei looked over at the crowd, then quietly replied, "I’m thinking of asking You Ye for help, if that’s okay."

This statement left everyone speechless; it was completely out of their expectation.
