Chapter 40
The Seven Guardians From 10,000 Years Ago
Everyone was stunned.
Someone tried to log off, but a system notification made them despair.
“Ding… The novice village you are currently in is surrounded by a powerful Demonic Qi. You cannot go offline.”
Everyone, “???”
“What the f*ck? What the f*ck?! I can’t go offline? How can I not go offline in this game?”
“Isn’t this a scam? Are they forcing us to kill this Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor? What level of monster is it? Where is it? Brothers, gather!”
“What the f*ck?! A Holy Annihilation Boss! Do we have to fight that?!”
Everyone, “???”
“What? A Holy Annihilation Boss? You want a group of players below Level 10 to fight a Boss like that? Is this game crazy? Are you trying to kill us here?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Chu Bai and Playboy rushed out.
At this moment, the sky was already enveloped by a thick Demonic Qi. The Demonic Qi was moving in the direction of the beginner village.
In the surroundings, monsters that appeared out of nowhere rushed toward the beginner village like crazy!
“Let’s return to the village first,” Chu Bai hurriedly said.
Even if they could fight many monsters, they would definitely die under such circumstances!
They had to gather first.
They ran to the farming point of the Level 0 monster Bristle Boar and watched helplessly as the Demonic Qi entered the body of the Boar. Every Bristle Boar twitched on the ground and then grew larger. Their tusks became longer and their eyes emitted red light.
[Demonized Wild Boar]: Grade: None, Level: 0, Health Points: 1,500. Creatures that have been demonized by Demonic Qi. Even though their level is very low, after being demonized, their speed, strength, and power have all increased significantly. They will go crazy and attack anything in sight.
Skill: [Charge]: Increases speed by 50% and charges at a target, causing increased damage. If the target is hit in a critical area, the damage will increase by 300%.
[Demonic Qi Transformation]: Releases a stream of Demonic Qi and rapidly attacks, dealing damage to the target. All attributes will be reduced by 10% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.
Countless players had gathered here.
This group of demonized boars was still easily killed by the crowd.
“F*ck! What the hell?”
Then, the players looked ahead. A black mass of monsters was rushing over.
Tens of thousands of players were gathered here.
In the distant void, a huge dragon could be vaguely spotted in the black fog. Three heads could be vaguely seen.
At this moment, the NPCs in the village, including the village chief, walked over.
“Village Chief.”
Chu Bai and the Playboy walked up to him.
“Our mission failed. When we got there, the stone door was already opened,” Chu Bai said.
The village chief nodded. “Yes, I already know. I don’t blame you. This is a calamity for our village.”
Then, the village chief said, “It’s just that I never expected that it was a Three-headed Demon Dragon Emperor that was sealed in this Demon Dragon Cave.”
“Village Chief, is there anything special about this Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor?” Playboy asked.
The village chief said simply, “The Three-Headed Demonic Dragon Emperor is a legendary monster. Ten thousand years ago, a shocking war broke out between humans, monsters, demons, beasts, and the Gods. We called it the War of the Gods. It was a war between the four races against the Demons.”
“And the Three-Headed Demon Dragon Emperor is one of the twelve Demon Generals under the Demon God! His strength is extremely terrifying, and he can even fight against the seven guardians of our human race.”
A player came over.
“Who are these seven guardians?”
The village chief explained, “The supreme beings of the human race, the guardians of the three goddesses. Their strength is only below the three goddesses. There are a total of seven professions on the continent. These seven individuals are the pinnacle of these seven professions. They are responsible for protecting the Destiny Continent, and their strength has even reached the level of Holy Seal.”
Then, the village chief continued, “Rumor has it that the war divided the entire Destiny Continent into five continents, which are the current Destiny Continent of the human race, the Monster God Continent of the monster race, the Demon God Continent of the demon race, the Beast God Continent of the beast race, and the Myriad God Continent of the god race.”
“After the war, the prosperous gods entered the Aragami Era. An ancient demon god of the demon race left behind a prophecy. After 10,000 years, the continent will return to the golden age again. At the same time, there will be chaos. The cause of the chaos is unknown. The five races will have another world-shaking war, and it might even destroy the entire continent!”
“Everyone was taking a wait-and-see approach for this prophecy. However, there’s another point to this prophecy. Ten thousand years later, adventurers from other worlds will enter the Destiny Continent. These adventurers from other worlds will join the Humans, Monsters, Demons, Beasts, and Gods.”
“They will help the corresponding races obtain victory in the War of the Gods 10,000 years later! From the looks of it, the adventurers from the other world, which are you all, have already appeared. This means that the prophecy is true. The 10,000-year period is almost upon us.”
The players looked at each other.
“In other words, we have to choose our race when the time comes, right?” someone asked.
“Yes! Before leaving the novice village, you will face a choice, which is to join any of the five races. We have no right to interfere with this choice,” the village chief said.
This news had not been released yet, so they did not know about it!
Therefore, players of different races would be their opponents.
Then, what was the ultimate quest of this game? The system had not revealed it yet.
The village chief continued, “The prophecy also said that five divine children will appear among the five races. They are the key to the victory of the second War of the Gods. Perhaps the divine child of the human race will be among you.”
The players looked at each other again.
The village chief looked ahead with a solemn expression and said, “Now is the time for the survival of the village. Adventurers from the other world, if we work together, we might have a chance of survival.”
At this moment, a player shouted, “Brothers, this Boss is definitely not something we can handle. Our goal is the large horde of monsters. Previously, we fought each other to the death, but now, we’re all in the same boat. If we want to survive, each of us has to do our best.”
“Brothers, don’t think about it anymore. The monster is charging over. It’s time to attack!”
“Priest sisters, pay attention to healing me. I’m going to charge!”
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
“…”
For a moment, tens of thousands of players rushed toward the large horde of monsters that were rushing over.
Old Dream Tian Yu raised his sword.
In order to survive, he no longer cared about messing around with Chu Bai.
“Everyone from the Feng Ling Dynasty, follow me!”
Qingqiu Yanmo called, “Sisters of Rose Paradise, team up and mow down the monsters. Swordsmen and Heavenly Shields at the front, Assassins pick off the monsters. Mages, Archers, use long-range attacks. Summoner, summon monsters to the fight. I will protect the priests. Don’t fall behind. Go!”
Whoosh—
Everyone rushed over.
“Big Brother, let’s go too,” Playboy urged Chu Bai.
“Yes, let’s go.”
Whoosh—
They rushed over together.
“Whirlwind!”
