Chapter 14

Mysterious Girl

Chu Bai had never encountered such a situation before.

The urgency of system notification made Chu Bai even more nervous.

The environment had completely changed. There was no way out. No wonder no one had ever walked out of the Dark Abyss.

Perhaps the forest was just an illusion of this place.

“It doesn’t seem to be an illusion, though.”

Chu Bai touched the stone beside him.

“Then I can only go forward.”

Chu Bai knew that in this situation, he probably would not be able to escape even if he went back. He might as well explore this so-called Dark Abyss.

Chu Bai held the Novice Sword and walked forward.

The terrain of this place was complex. There were no trees, only uneven mountains and rocks. The higher mountains in the distance were covered by black fog and were a little blurry.

There was a huge mountain in front of him. It was especially tall and blocked the way forward, but there was a cave.

Chu Bai took a deep breath and walked inside.

There was nothing special inside the cave.

After some walking, he saw the exit.

When he walked out of the cave, the scene in front of him stunned Chu Bai.

Ahead, through the fog, Chu Bai seemed to be looking at a large hall!

The hall seemed to be quite far away. It was wrapped in fog and gave off a sinister feeling.

Chu Bai could be considered a veteran player. This scene was something that could usually only be encountered in the later stages of the game.

“Is this still starter village?”

Chu Bai was secretly shocked.

The Divine Emperor Beast, the mysterious darkness, the huge hall.

“Ding… You have successfully explored the secret map of Starter Village 77777, Sealing Temple. Reputation +100,000.”

“Ding… Player Bai Ye, please take note. This area is extremely dangerous. Please leave quickly!”

“Ding… Player Bai Ye, please take note. This map is extremely dangerous. Please leave quickly!”

“…”

The system notifications kept coming.

In this atmosphere, with such an urgent system notification, Chu Bai also panicked.

“Go back?”

He turned to look at the cave behind him, and then his pupils constricted.

F*ck!

The cave was gone!

The mountain behind him had disappeared, and behind him was a boundless dark mountain range!

He walked back tentatively.

The mountain was either hidden or gone! He could not touch it anymore.

F*ck!

He wanted to leave this place. However, how could he leave?

Chu Bai looked at the huge hall in front of him.

“Phew—”

Chu Bai took a deep breath, then braced himself and walked forward.

In any case, he had a chance to revive. Since he could not leave, he would go and take a look.

Soon, Chu Bai arrived at the front of the hall.

It was a simple and solemn design.

…

At this moment, a loud bang sounded. The door of the hall was sent flying open, and a figure lumbered out of it.

Chu Bai dodged to one side and looked at the figure.

It was a giant.

[Divine Wind Guardian]:

Level: ???, Grade: ???, Description: ???

Skill: ???

Chu Bai, “…”

There seemed to be no need to be shocked.

Chu Bai was Level 8, and the detection limit of the Scanning spell was Level 18. It seemed quite understandable that he could not detect the giant’s attributes on such a map.

However…

It was already dead. Its body was even turning into nothingness.

The giant suddenly dropped a bunch of items, but since Chu Bai was not the one who killed it, he could not pick them up. He just took a casual look.

[Divine Wind Heavenly Demon Halberd]:

Grade: Super Divine Artifact.

Usage Requirement: Unidentified. Cannot be used.

Chu Bai, “…”

“Super Divine Artifact? Then this Divine Wind Guardian is a Super Divine monster?”

Chu Bai was secretly shocked.

This thing just died, and to be able to kill a Super Divine Beast…

Holy Annihilation? Holy Seal?

What else was in this hall?

Chu Bai gulped.

Then, he mustered his courage and walked into the hall with the Novice Sword.

The moment Chu Bai entered the hall, everything was pitch black.

When he looked back again, the door behind him had already disappeared. It had also turned into endless darkness.

There was a purple light ahead.

Chu Bai walked forward.

Just as he was about to approach the light, a roar similar to a dragon’s sounded in the huge space.

Chu Bai, “…”

“A dragon?”

As the monster of the highest level in any game, how could there be a dragon in this starter village?

“Buzz—”

A dragon’s roar sounded again. Then, in front of Chu Bai, a red light suddenly appeared from below. A red dragon nearly a thousand meters tall soared into the sky and spat flames at the ground below.

“Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill Flaming Dragon Breath.”

Chu Bai, “…”

[Royal Evil Dragon]:

Level: ???, Grade: ???, Health Points: ???, Description: ???, Skills: ???

Was this still a starter village?

Whoosh—

Right then, a purple light flashed. Chu Bai saw a girl in a white dress forcefully resist the Royal Evil Dragon’s fiery breath.

Chi—

Her body directly pierced through the Royal Evil Dragon, and Dragon let out a shocking roar.

“Ding… You have obtained the ultimate skill Purple Holy Flash.”

Then, Chu Bai saw a series of damage numbers popping up above Royal Evil Dragon’s head.

-1998010300

Nearly two billion damage in one move?

What was this

Holy Seal?

After the two billion damage, The Royal Evil Dragon’s health bar had only dropped by 1%!

Chu Bai, “???”

He was completely dumbfounded.

Roar—

The dragon roared again as the girl smashed down and stopped beside Chu Bai.

Cough——

Then, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Are you all right?” Chu Bai asked subconsciously.

[Mysterious Girl]:

Level: ???, Grade: ???, Health Points: ???, Description: ???, Skills: ???

The girl glanced at Chu Bai.

Purple eyes…

“A human! You die too!”

The Dragon roared and spat out a powerful dragon breath.

Chu Bai had no way of dodging.

Whoosh—

The girl rushed in front of Chu Bai. Purple light shone from her body, blocking the dragon breath.

She then turned to look at Chu Bai.

“Can you… help me block this for a minute?”

“Ding… congratulations on triggering the only hidden quest in the starter village, [Defend Against the Royal Evil Dragon]. Mission Reward: Unknown. Mission Duration: One minute. Do you accept?”

Chu Bai, “…”

This so-called hidden mission meant that it could only be triggered once! Only once.

Before he could speak, the girl threw a scroll to Chu Bai.

“Ding… You have obtained [Invincible Scroll].”

[Invincible Scroll]:

Grade: Holy Annihilation

[A mysterious scroll that contains immense power. Effect: After using it, you can enter an absolutely invincible state for a minute.]

“Please.”

Chu Bai said, “I’ll give it a try.”

“Ding… You have successfully accepted the mission [Defend Against the Royal Evil Dragon].”

“Thank you.”

Then, Chu Bai accumulated power on the spot.

The girl was shocked to see this.

Whoosh—

Following that, Chu Bai’s figure flashed in front of the Royal Evil Dragon with a purple light.

“Roar—Human, get lost!”

The Royal Evil Dragon roared and turned its fiery dragon breath toward Chu Bai.

However, Chu Bai was invincible right now. He resisted the dragon’s breath and continuously released Purple Holy Flash. Even with his current attributes, this attack dealt hundreds of thousands of damage!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Roar—

The Dragon cried out in pain.

Meanwhile, the girl leaped into the air. Ten beautiful shadows of huge fox tails appeared behind her. With her eyes closed, it was like an anime or sci-fi movie when a character was charging energy. The purple and white power around her kept pouring into her body.

She was preparing her ultimate move!

At first, Chu Bai was puzzled. Why had she not used such a powerful scroll for herself? It turned out that she needed to charge up her ultimate skill without being interrupted!

Even if she was invincible, she could still be interrupted.

“Get lost!”

The Royal Evil Dragon roared at Chu Bai.

Meanwhile, Chu Bai was continuously releasing powerful moves to attack him.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds, forty seconds…

“Roar—don’t even try to change your fate!”

The Royal Evil Dragon roared.

One minute of absolute invincibility meant that Chu Bai would not be in any danger, but… The Royal Evil Dragon ignored him and rushed toward the girl. Chu Bai could not stop it at all.

“F*ck! For the only hidden quest in the starter village, I’ll go all out!”

Chu Bai took out the Scroll that had dropped from the Heavenly Demon Cat Emperor and crushed it.

“Ding… You have successfully used [Silent Scroll].”

The Royal Evil Dragon’s huge body froze in the air.

Fifteen seconds later, Chu Bai had been holding on for fifty-five seconds.

The Dragon recovered and charged at the girl in the sky.

“I can’t stop it anymore,” Chu Bai cried.

When the Royal Evil Dragon rushed in front of the girl, she opened her purple eyes.

In the next moment, a purple light covered the entire space. When Chu Bai opened his eyes, the girl was already standing behind the Royal Evil Dragon.

Chu Bai stood below and was stunned.

What happened?

-2,000,000,000

A huge number appeared above the Royal Evil Dragon’s head, and its HP bar was emptied.

Chu Bai, “???”
