Chapter 253 - Treasure Beneath the Sands
Chapter 253: Treasure Beneath the Sands
They left Ziyue City’s territory.
Jiang Feng did not continue his journey Northward but instead headed to the Northeast.
After one week, he had arrived at Loulan City in the Northeast.
Within one week, he had increased Yanhu, Heifeng, Haozi, the Thunderclap Mantis, Guapi, and the Silver Wolf King’s ranks to rank 13.
As for Heifeng and Yanhu’s quest, he had them put it aside for the moment and not complete it.
Since they needed to go to the Endless Forest, and that would require a few days, it would be too time-consuming.
Ling Feiyu and his levels had reached level 75. After consuming the eight drops of White Tiger Bloodlines, his stats had increased tremendously.
HP: 1,000,000
Attack: 400,000
Defense: 170,000
That was his current stats.
At this stage, normal players’ HP would be around 300,000, their attacks around 150,00, and defense around 70,000.
Some of the Inheritors and those with secret classes would have higher stats, but no one should be able to surpass him at this stage.
Unless these players had reached level 100 and changed class a third time.
Once the players had reached level 100 and changed class a third time, their stats would be doubled. With a complete set of equipment, a party of them would be able to go toe to toe against a level 100 Spiritual Beast.
The main reason that he had only used 8 drops of the White Tiger’s Bloodline was that he had given one drop each to Yanhu and Heifeng.
After consuming them, they had become much stronger. They were only slightly weaker than him, and they were even stronger than the Thunderclap Mantis.
During the week, the other players had also been progressing just as he had.
In the World Level Leaderboard, the top ten players were all stuck at the bottleneck of level 79. If they wanted to level up to level 80, it would be extremely difficult.
There had also been many new guilds popping up in Huaxia Sect. The most powerful one was called the Ironblood Guild, and it had already become the server’s third-biggest guild.
The Myth Group had already dropped out of the top ten. The first was still the Canaan Guild, and the second was Lingyun Pavilion.
He did not pay any attention to the guilds at this time and had allowed them to grow freely.
Speaking of which, not only did the guilds not attack him, they were helping the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor.
For example, all the guilds had given up on Yue Lao’s Quest, so he was still in the Ancient City.
All the players also did not attack any monsters that were from the Ancient City, and allowed them to roam all over the place.
All the sects were growing, the players were doing their best to level while the crafters were producing items as quickly as possible. The Divines were quite quiet, and so were the Infernals.
At this time, the entire Huaxia Server was simply very busy. All the posts on the message board were posts of merchants trying to buy things. There was no longer any news that would cause any ruckus.
It was quiet! Very quiet!
There were no killings, no slaughters, no news that would rock the server!
However, Jiang Feng felt that there was something wrong with the entire Huaxia Server’s ambiance, it was as if something big was about to happen.
“This isn’t right, something isn’t right!” Ling Feiyu frowned as she looked at the message board while in Jiang Feng’s embrace.
Jiang Feng also frowned and asked, “Yes. Something is definitely wrong. You have to go back to the Ancient City and call back all of our members that went out during this time. Also, you have to increase the pace in which we are developing the Ancient City. I feel that a storm is coming, and it is going to be a huge one!”
Ling Feiyu nodded, “Feng, be careful. Leave the Ancient City to me.”
Jiang Feng summoned Heifeng, Yanhu, the Thunderclap Mantis, and Guapi, then said to them, “Return to the city and help Feiyu!”
Yanhu nodded and said, “We will.”
Next, Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu shared a kiss, she then brought his other followers back to the Ancient City of the Shifter Emperor using their Town Portal Skill together.
After Ling Feiyu and his followers left, he headed toward Loulan City together with the Silver Wolf King.
Before this, he had been wasting a lot of time as he had been stopping a lot. He needed to get to Mount Fangcun as soon as possible.
After ten minutes, he had arrived in a desert.
There were not many monsters here, and the experience points that they gained were quite low too. The loot that they dropped was nothing special as well. However, what made him intrigued was that the center of the desert was packed with players. There were also other players near the desert itself.
But what was weird was that the players were not farming the monsters. They would only kill the monsters if they accidentally took hold of their aggro. Most of the time they were looking for something in the desert. Some of the players even called out their pets and had them dig together with them.
Curious, he put away the Silver Wolf King and changed his appearance as well as hid the Imposter Glasses. He then walked toward a female wizard player.
He walked toward her and asked curiously, “Excuse me, what are you all looking for?”
“You don’t know?” That female player looked at Jiang Feng, confused.
Jiang Feng nodded and said, “I’m from another city and I don’t go to the message board much, so I don’t know what is going on yet.”
Looking at how handsome Jiang Feng was, the female player felt kind of comfortable and started explaining to him.
After hearing her explanation, Jiang Feng finally understood what the players were looking for.
They were looking for an entrance to the Old City of Loulan, which was buried under the sands. It was a city that was from an ancient era.
The female player also said that there would be a sandstorm every day within the desert.
Yesterday, there was one party that did not make it out and was caught by the sandstorm. One of the players had his pet dig for the entrance and accidentally made his way into the Old City. The five players still had not escaped, but they sent out messages saying that they had discovered an Old City filled with treasures and asked them to come over immediately.
In the end, the information spread to the point where many of the players from Loulan City knew about it. They all came over and started digging, in hopes of finding the ancient city that was buried within the sand.
‘Hm? Who would inform someone else when they have found treasures? Something weird is going on here,’ Jiang Feng thought to himself. However, in order to check if there were really treasures in this place, he took out the Divine Fate Compass and was going to give it a try.
If there were really treasures in this place, he would not mind stealing them.
Shen Luo appeared and started searching. She then said to Jiang Feng, “Master, there are five treasures underneath. The Donghuang Bell fragment is among one of them, but I can only give you three coordinates!”
‘Goodness gracious! Five treasures! And one of them is a fragment!’ Jiang Feng was shocked beyond belief.
This was the first time that he had found so many treasures using the Treasure Hunt ability.
He became extremely interested. Even if he could give up the rest, he would not give up on the Donghuang Bell fragment!
“Haozi!” He called out, and a four-meter-tall rat with sharp claws appeared.
“Ah, a giant rat…”
When some of the female players near Jiang Feng saw Haozi, they all screamed out in shock. Some of the girls were afraid of rats by nature, and when a rat as big as Haozi appeared…
He did not mind much about the players that were screaming. With the Divine Fate Compass in his hand, he sat on Haozi and headed toward one of the coordinates.
Haozi was not too slow. After running around for ten minutes, he had arrived on top of the first set of coordinates deep within the desert. The coordinates were pointing further downward in the desert.
“Haozi, dig!” He said to Haozi after he found the coordinates.
