Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 142 Bloodthirsty Spear
On the altar was a knight's lance, blood red and emitting colorful divine light. It was a weapon of the artifact level. Faced with such an ideal result, Afeng, who finally waited for the favor of the God of Luck, was also extremely excited. In addition to cheering, he couldn't hold back his excitement. He kept punching and stamping his feet, and even looked up at the sky and howled hysterically for a while. Although he seemed a little excited, I could understand his mood at the moment. After all, "Tianxia" was only the first game I played, and I didn't have a deep feeling and experience. Unlike me, a "rookie" player, after playing several games, this was the first time that Afeng obtained an artifact, which allowed him to truly become one of the top players who were famous all over the world. More importantly, he got ahead of his mortal enemy Hua Mantian, which was also a great psychological advantage. With the help of this artifact, his strength would definitely be able to surpass Hua Mantian, which was quite beneficial to his revenge plan.
After a long period of depression and a moment of triumph, Afeng's mood gradually recovered. He rushed to the front of the altar in a few steps, grabbed the spear with both hands, and looked at it carefully for a while, probably checking the properties of the artifact. The smile on his face did not diminish, and seemed to become even brighter. It seemed that the properties and functions of the artifact must have made him quite satisfied.
The artifact was obtained in public, and there were players from the hostile camp among the onlookers, so the news could not be concealed. It was impossible for Afeng to trade it, so he immediately bit his finger, smeared it on the spear, and began the "blood recognition" procedure that was required before equipping the artifact.
Blood and body, the spear glowed brightly. After a moment, it returned to its original state, and then there was a system prompt sound of "ding dong", and an announcement began, "Congratulations to the player Wind Whisperer for obtaining the thirteenth artifact in "Tianxia", the Changxue Spear!"
Although we are still in the "Relics of God". The public mission of "Snow Mountain Treasure Hunt" has not been officially declared over, but after hearing the announcement from the system that Afeng obtained the thirteenth artifact, other teams should have known that the reward of "Relics of God" was obtained by us, and they would not have another chance. Afeng's move was a good thing, so that they did not have to waste time and could give up and leave earlier.
After putting away the "Blood-sucking Spear", Afeng, who walked down from the altar, rushed forward two steps and hugged me tightly. He almost lifted me up with his arms. He whispered "Thank you" in my ear without waiting for my response. He let go and turned around to accept Long Xing Tian Xia's congratulations. Everyone on our side was happy, but Real Madrid was frustrated. They had lost the chance to obtain the artifact. Harry, who was the eighth person to come forward to worship after Afeng, had no expectation on his face. He walked forward listlessly like an eggplant hit by frost and began the worship procedure. Even if there was still a chance to obtain a rare high-level holy artifact, he didn't seem to be tempted by Qingri anymore, and was still immersed in the blow of losing the artifact.
The artifact has already been taken, and the twelve players behind can only get one high-level artifact at most. There is no need to care about the rewards of others, just wait for your turn to worship. Originally ranked 16th, I didn't have much hope of getting another artifact, but the artifacts are divided into three levels, so naturally I hope to get a suitable high-level artifact to make the trip worthwhile.
Finally it was my turn, and I completed the worship ceremony. After the white light flashed, a necklace appeared on the altar, which looked quite familiar. It seemed to be... My already uneasy heart suddenly beat faster, and I rushed forward to pick it up and check it out. Sure enough, it was the high-level holy artifact "Soul Summoning Bone Chain" borrowed from Tianxing that I had worn during the first "Holy War of Light" - in addition to increasing the upper limit of mental power by 15%, it also came with the ability of "Soul Summoning", which could increase the basic mental power by 81% while performing "Summoning the Undead". After equipping it, I no longer needed to perform "Blood Transformation" to summon ninth-level mid-level undead subordinates, and my strength was improved to a certain extent.
When Bai Yunjian, who was ranked 19th, finished the last worship and received the holy equipment as a reward, the public mission of "Snow Mountain Treasure Hunt" was officially over. We were not allowed to stay any longer. With a flash of white light, we were all forcibly teleported out of the "Relics of God" and appeared on the snow mountain. Our cooperation with Real Madrid ended from then on. The two groups of players occupied their own sides, with clear barriers and returned to the opposing trend. Of course, they would not immediately turn against each other and fight. Moreover, with four artifacts against one, they would definitely not be our opponents. After a few polite words, they parted ways and went their separate ways.
As close friends who have lived together for several years, there are almost no secrets between Afeng and me. Although it is inconvenient to talk about it in front of others, he will naturally not hide the properties and functions of the newly acquired artifact "Blood-sucking Spear" from me in private. This is the main artifact of the knight profession. In addition to having a higher basic attack power, it is called "Blood-sucking Spear". As the name suggests, the most basic function is "blood-sucking". Whether it is skill attack or ordinary attack, as long as the enemy is damaged, the opponent's reduced health value will be automatically absorbed by the "Blood-sucking Spear" and converted into the life value of the holder. The attached attack stunt is "Three Heads and Six Arms", which is similar to the function of the "pseudo-artifact" that Afeng used in the individual competition of the "World Hero Conference" when he fought Hua Mantian. It transformed into two heads and four arms, evenly distributed in a triangle, holding three "Blood-sucking Spears". Although the two transformed long spears only have 75% of the attack power of the main body, they can also absorb 15% of the opponent's health loss due to damage and convert it into the holder's own. As long as it is within the attack range, there is no need to turn around and move. The opponent will face at least two "Bloodthirsty Spears" attack at any angle. It is also good at dealing with group battles and sieges. It can be used with the knight profession with strong mobility to exert its power. Moreover, there are no special restrictions on the use of "Three Heads and Six Arms". It can be activated at will, and it does not affect the use of other professional skills. It can be used together with other attack skills. It will only continue to consume the user's mental and physical strength, of course, the consumption rate will not be too fast, and it can exert a very long-lasting combat power.
The artifact rewarded by the Mercenary Union's public mission was obtained by Afeng, who was a neutral knight, but he was a director of the Dark Council of the Resistance Alliance. The beneficiary was our Dark Camp, which formed a new balance in the number of artifacts held by the two camps. Moreover, the team that completed the mission was Long Xing Tian Xia, me, Real Madrid and Olympia, which further consolidated and improved our reputation and status in our respective camps. The team composed of Supreme Honor, Holy Heaven, Desert Eagle and Tianxing returned empty-handed. Like many expedition teams such as Hua Man Tian and Qiu Shui Chang Tian, they wasted a few days in vain and lost in this indirect contest.
The existence of the "Holy War of Light" has caused all the mercenary groups that are inclined to our resistance alliance to have certain concerns, and they have to pay attention to control, or even give up participating in some actions. In order to avoid accumulating too high a hostility and increase the risk of becoming the "public enemy of light" - although the resistance alliance "pays" for their losses in the holy war. But not every mercenary group can have a super strong person like me like our United Alliance and a meeting hall with a 50% increase or decrease in the three major attributes of attack, defense and agility as rewarded by the system, and have the strength to withstand the crazy attack of the Church of Light. Once defeated and losing the quota of the mercenary group, it is not an easy thing to get another one. It may take a lot of twists and turns to achieve it, and everything has to start all over again. Delaying time will affect interests. No mercenary group is willing to provoke a devastating blow like the "Holy War of Light". Moreover, the funds of the resistance alliance were earned by the members, which were hard-earned and could not be easily wasted. Therefore, the Dark Council also passed a resolution and took a series of measures, such as increasing macro-control of mercenary groups that were attached to the resistance alliance or had close relations with it, and generally not allowing the weak mercenary groups to participate in important actions against the Church of Light as much as possible, and only recruiting a small number of members to join the resistance alliance to reduce hostility as much as possible. Avoid becoming the target of the "Holy War of Light" and waste of manpower, money and materials.
The implementation of these measures can be said to be quite effective. Apart from the first to be hit, the Concentric Alliance and the Sahara, whose leader had ulterior motives and had been destroyed, the Church of Light has not been able to find a third target to launch a "Holy War of Light" for several months. Our Concentric Alliance is a tough nut to crack. We have innate advantages, plus my strength, and perhaps Xiaoyue, who has a level 9 upper-level wind unicorn pet. We have also experienced two "Holy Wars of Light". The setting of fortifications is more rigorous and reasonable, which makes it more difficult for the Church of Light to destroy us. Simply destroying the buildings in the garrison has lost its original meaning and propaganda effect after we launched a disguised "Dark Holy War" and used the same method to fight back. As a result, the Supreme Honor has been reluctant to launch a third "Holy War of Light" against our Concentric Alliance before it is more certain. Now with the addition of Afeng who has obtained the new artifact "Bloodthirsty Spear", they must be even more troubled. I don't know whether they will continue to launch the "Holy War of Light" which is obviously difficult for our United Alliance to succeed. Although there is no need to pay a group battle deposit to compensate for our economic losses, every player of light who participates in the action will be delayed for a certain period of time, and may lose one or even several angels obtained through long prayers. It will not be in vain, and you need to pay for it. Even the actions of NPCs need to allocate funds. The funds of the Church of Light are also not given by the system at will, but provided by the cities under their control. It is impossible to spend them without restrictions and recklessly.
The Church of Light was somewhat hesitant about the "Holy War of Light" , but our resistance alliance would not be polite and tolerant with them. According to the established policy, the Council passed the resolution and launched the second "Holy War of Darkness". Of course, the target will no longer be the Flower City with Flowers Mantian. Although it is impossible to build their completely destroyed base within the one-month protection period, and the fortifications are certainly not complete, according to the ordinary group battle rules, they can invite many expert players to participate in the battle. We may not be too sure to win the final victory in the meeting hall battle that determines the victory or defeat by increasing or decreasing the attributes of both sides by 50%. The risk is too great. Once the predetermined goal is not achieved, it will put us in an extremely unfavorable situation. Moreover, the two directors of the Desert Eagle and Qiu Shui Chang Tian will definitely not agree to continue to deal with our enemies. According to the principle of equal benefits and fair distribution. This time, the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group of the Southern Continent was selected - a medium-sized mercenary group with a scale of 1,000 people. It has maintained a certain connection with the Church of Light and has participated in many operations to attack our resistance alliance, but its overall strength is not outstanding. It did not cause much damage or threat to us. According to gossip, the Red Scorpion and the Desert Eagle have a bad relationship, and there are frequent frictions and conflicts. There may be personal grudges between the top leaders. Compared with the significance of the last attack on Huadu, this action seems to have a stronger sense of revenge. However, the chance of destroying the Red Scorpion Mercenary Group will be greater, and we should be able to recover our investment. So we agreed to the Desert Eagle's proposal. Anyway, it does not harm our interests. There is no need to stand up for those irrelevant people and destroy the internal "unity".
Compared to the last "Dark Holy War" against Huadu, the elites of the resistance alliance came out. This time, the Desert Eagle did not plan to invite us competitors to join the action. He used the excuse that the Red Scorpion was just a medium-sized mercenary group with a thousand people and a low reputation. There were no famous top masters among the members, and their influence in the Church of Light was far less than that of Hua Mantian. The top masters of Supreme Honor, Holy Heaven, and Real Madrid might not all be dispatched to help them resist this "Dark Holy War". We did not need to mobilize as many troops as we did against Huadu. What if the opponent was just some minor figures? It would be a big deal to kill a chicken. Even if we won, there would be nothing to boast about, and it might even make people laugh. In this way, the task of attacking the Red Scorpion was assigned to himself and Qiu Shui Chang Tian to complete, and Long Xing Tian Xia and I, Qing Wu Fei Yang, were not allowed to intervene, so as not to dilute their interests and merits. The Desert Eagle insisted that a medium-sized mercenary group of a thousand people did not have much profit, and he would bear the main responsibility if they failed anyway, so we did not try to argue for it and agreed to his proposal.
As April 15 approaches, I will start preparing for the Hell Volcano's Nether Dragon Challenge. Qitlei, who failed the last challenge, has just recovered from his serious injury. According to his performance, he is not suitable for the challenge again. The only candidates who have a little hope of success are the Fire Bone Giant Lizard Silando, the Two-Headed Skeleton Fire Ghost King Dizang and the Fire Skeleton General Gonzales. If I don't fight for their qualification to soak in the middle area and increase the speed of absorbing volcanic energy, it will take longer for them to accumulate enough energy to begin evolving to a higher-level form. I can't wait that long. I must use various effective means to speed up their evolution and promote their faster growth.
The one who applied for the battle this time was Silando. Although his level was only lower level eight, one level lower than that of Biqi...Trey, he could evolve into a foreign spirit of the Hell Dragon in the future. Perhaps he had a stronger resistance to the "dragon power" of the Hell Dragon. Moreover, he had a stubborn personality. In the past, he was not very docile to Hades, and was suppressed and suffered a lot for this. Facing the Hell Dragon, perhaps it would not affect his performance. Anyway, even if the challenge failed, there would be no danger to his life. I have the magic of "Soul of the Dead" to heal the wound, so I would not lose too much vitality and degrade or need a long recovery time, which would delay my development. It would be a pity to give up without fighting. It would be better to give it a try and see if I have the luck to pass successfully.
On April 12, the Desert Eagle launched the "Dark Holy War" against the Red Scorpions as scheduled. This time, they did not attack the Red Scorpions' base with a thousand players to challenge their thousand players. According to the scale of the Red Scorpions' base, the group battle deposit paid, and the relevant group battle rules, the Red Scorpions' base can only accommodate a maximum of 4,000 players for defense. According to the ratio of the number of participants in the base attack and defense war of one to four, the Desert Eagle sent 10,000 players to attack the Red Scorpions' base. It seems that he has considered it more comprehensively, which not only ensures sufficient combat effectiveness, but also earns certain benefits after victory, and realizes the greatest value through this action. Perhaps because the Red Scorpions are only a medium-sized mercenary group, it is difficult to defend, or perhaps their connection with the Church of Light is not too close. Although the Light Senate decided to support them and sent a lot of expert players, it was probably to avoid suffering greater losses. It was really as expected by the Desert Eagle. Representatives of Supreme Honor, Real Madrid, Holy Heaven, Hua Mantian and others did not participate in the war. Weighing the power , the Desert Eagle does have a certain advantage and has a greater chance of winning.
I don't know the specific process of this "Dark Crusade", but there were no accidents. The final result was that the Desert Eagle won and successfully destroyed the Red Scorpion, achieving the desired goal and further deterring those mercenary groups that tend to be on the side of the Church of Light, especially those that are not very powerful. Even if they don't defect to us, they at least have to remain neutral and not help the Church of Light. We should try our best to weaken the influence of the Church of Light in the east, south, and north continents, and lay a good foundation for the final and complete elimination of their forces.
