Chapter 38: Shock the Crowd

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Many of the players on the leaderboards were excited.

“Boss Netherworld’s awesome! With 30 million resources, whoever gets first place will take off immediately!”

“Charge! Don’t fight with me over the monsters!”

“Mercury Guild, quickly join the group. Don’t f*cking run around!”

“Boss Netherworld, I love you!”

“F*ck, even the tenth place has over 800 kills. It’s too late.”

“F*ck, the first ranked player is actually Pearl? Has she started to roll in?”

...

Pearl?!

Looking at the first-ranked player on the leaderboard, Li Cheng was slightly surprised. This was a high-level player of the Divine Dragon Alliance.

In the past few years, she had been active in all the major online games. She had always been an unaffiliated player and did not join any guild organizations.

She was an even more mysterious existence. Li Cheng instantly had the desire to take her in as a vassal lord.

After all, as the territory developed, there would be more and more chores. Naturally, Li Cheng needed some help.

Just as Li Cheng was about to take in a vassal lord, a system notification rang.

“Ding, dong, you’ve discovered Death Valley. As the first player to discover this area, you’re rewarded with one reputation point!

“Ding Dong, you have triggered the ten thousand times amplification system. Received ten thousand reputation points!”

To find the Death Valley, one needed to pass through the Misty Forest. Ordinary players naturally could not do so.

Li Cheng sized up the Death Valley before him. The valley was mainly dark and gloomy. The ground had long been scorched black and the air was filled with a pungent stench.

Even the trees were bare. When a gust of wind blew, they would immediately creak. It was very strange.

Meanwhile, monsters roamed the Death Valley. Even the lowest-level monsters were level three Skeleton Warriors.

At level 10, their skills had an indestructible characteristic. They could reduce physical damage by at least 30%. Moreover, when they were on the scorched earth of the Death Valley, these Skeleton Warriors could continuously recover their HP.

If players encountered these Skeleton Warriors at the current stage of the game, it would be a nightmare. Even if they could barely defeat them, there were still level four Skeleton Mages and level five Skeleton Knights.

Even level six Skeleton Generals frequently appeared. Under normal circumstances, they would have to wait at least a few weeks before they could explore the Death Valley.

Meanwhile, the Church of Poison had several strongholds in the depths of the Death Valley. This was Li Cheng’s goal this time. Some players had already seen these Skeleton Warriors.

“Crap, a level three monster? So strong?”

“Ah... There’s still thirty percent damage reduction and HP recovery. I only have a level two army. How do we fight this?”

“Netherworld, boss, why don’t we retreat first? We’ll explore the wasteland when we’re strong enough.”

Retreat? What kind of joke is this?!

When Li Cheng heard that player’s suggestion, he almost laughed out loud. These skeleton monsters that they thought were strong were not even cannon fodder to Li Cheng.

They were just trash. Shaking his head, Li Cheng continued to move forward. When the skeletons noticed the invading players, they rushed over without any regard for their lives.

For a moment, everyone’s line of sight was filled with the figures of skeletons running wildly. There were probably millions of them. When the players saw this, their scalps went numb.

“F*ck, run! It’s too late if we don’t run now.”

“There are so many skeletons, let’s play a game!”

“Run, run, run!”

...

Some people had already started to run for their lives. After all, death was a punishment and it was not light.

Many people did not want to die so easily. However, this small scene was nothing to Li Cheng.

In his previous life, the size of the demon army was 10,000 times more terrifying than this. Just as the players were fleeing, Li Cheng made his move.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless arrows flashing with ice crystals pierced through the air, and a large number of Skeleton Warriors in the front lines quickly fell.

The places where they fell were frozen into ice, and the skeletons that followed were frozen to the point of falling apart. Not only that, when these elven arrows hit the skeletons, they would also shoot out a series of lightning chains.

This was the effect of Justice Verdict. When attacking an enemy, attacks could spread out to the nearest 10 enemies.

In addition to Li Cheng’s own skill, Command Flame, it could also cause an additional explosion effect. It was like a combination of fire and ice.

In this round of volley, the Skeleton Warriors charging at the front were instantly cleared. This AOE ability was extremely terrifying. Even Li Cheng himself was speechless.

“Ding, dong, your troops have killed ten thousand level three Skeleton Warriors. Obtained three thousand EXP and one hundred contribution points. You’ve successfully triggered a ten thousand-fold increase. Obtained three hundred million EXP and one million contribution points. Obtained three hundred thousand EXP!

“Ding, dong, your Frost Marksmen have leveled up, currently at level twenty-one.

“Ding, dong, your Frost Marksmen have leveled up, currently at level twenty-two.”

...

“Ding, dong, your Frost Marksmen have leveled up, currently at level eighty. Level has been maxed out.”

...

The skeletons were like straw, being harvested crazily and falling in large numbers.. The fleeing players were all stunned by this scene.
