However, Xihe said that these depend on the decision of the main body.

Only then did Xiao Baicai remember to go and see the content of this event.

He asked Jiuwei to explain the process of this event to him, and Jiuwei began to explain it without hesitation.

This [Lich War] event is still a phased plot event. The first phase has two parts, [Kuafu Chases the Sun] and [Yi Shoots Nine Suns], which lasts for two days.

The "Kuafu Chasing the Sun" stage tells the story of a man named Kuafu who wants to catch the rebellious suns in the sky and chase them. Players must complete daily tasks, which earn them steps. They can also earn steps by completing various dungeons, which they can then donate to Kuafu for rewards.

"...Donate steps?" Xiao Baicai repeated these words.

"Yes, donate steps." Kyuubi was sure he heard correctly.

[This is the first time I heard that step counts can be donated]

[Wait, I'll check the game out. This phase of the event seems simpler than the previous ones. There's no level requirement, right? Doesn't that mean I can just grind it out as I please?]

[But there's time. No matter how hard you work in two days, the number of dungeons you can clear is limited.]

While Xiaobaicai had just entered the game to explore this activity mode, Yu Mao had already started working hard.

However, before clearing the dungeon, he first went to the tribes at the foot of the mountain where each dungeon was located, and left behind his companions who had ice or water-related skills to help the tribal residents resist the burning of the Ten Suns, and also to help protect their crops.

After playing "Taohuayuan", all players now know how important the crops grown by the tribal residents are. If they are all burned, many people may still die this winter.

When Yu Mao was running around between various tribes to save people, he suddenly remembered something when he was in one of the tribes.

[Yi Shoots Nine Suns]

When he saw the name of this activity, he somehow suddenly thought of the tribe that was good at using bows and arrows, and the young man named Yi.

Yu Mao had a feeling that the Yi who shot down nine suns might be the young man named Yi.

Because of this thought, Yu Mao stopped briefly in this tribe. While helping the tribesmen to evacuate, he looked up and asked the nearest person, "Do you know where Yi is?"

"Yi?" the man replied, "He should be over there where he lives."

After helping, Yu Mao ran in the direction pointed by the tribal residents.

Coincidentally, as soon as he arrived at Yi's residence, he saw a stern-faced young man carrying a bow and quiver coming out of the cave and talking to a stern old man.

"You can go with peace of mind. I have someone to take care of me here, so I won't die." When Yu Mao approached, he heard the old man say this.

"If I fail, I may never come back." said the young man named Yi.

At this moment, Yu Mao's strong premonition reached its peak.

He suppressed his excitement at discovering the hidden plot and waited for Yi to finish talking to the old man before going up to him and saying, "Yi, are you going to set out to solve the problem of the ten suns?"

"Golden Crow?" Yi did not answer Yu Mao's question immediately, but asked this in return.

Yu Mao explained the story of the Ten Suns Coming to the Sky to Yi in detail, and then he saw Yi frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about, and it took him a long time to nod.

What he didn't know was that when Yi knew that the ten suns were Golden Crows and that the Golden Crows were related to the rulers of Heaven, he had already thought about the consequences if he shot down these Golden Crows.

But after considering all the consequences, Yi suppressed all his concerns.

No matter what will happen in the end, now that the ten suns are approaching, if this situation is not resolved quickly, his people will die. Even if they survive now, they will die of hunger and cold in the winter.

Let’s talk about what happens next later. For now, he only knows that he has a magic bow, arrows, and the strength to shoot down the Golden Crow. That’s enough.

"I want to shoot the sun." This is what Yu Mao heard Yi say a moment later.

He guessed it right!

Yu Mao was trembling with excitement, but in contrast, his voice became softer and more cautious. "So where are you going? Can I go with you? I'll do my best to help!"

Yi agreed.

He said that he only had nine magic arrows in total, and he had to shoot them when he was sure he could hit the target, so he had to shorten the distance to the Golden Crows as much as possible. However, if they wanted to chase the sun, they did not have that kind of leg strength, so Houyi decided to go east, to the place where the sun rises, and wait for the Golden Crows to go out and come back.

Yu Mao originally wanted to contribute his own little Kunpeng mount to go together, but after summoning little Kunpeng, he found out that it was a single-person mount and had no function of being ridden by two people.

The same goes for flying with a partner.

Yu Mao: ...

Well, it seems we have no choice but to walk.

However, although they were said to be walking, in fact, Yu Mao was flying on Kunpeng's back, while Yi was hurrying on the mountains and forests. Because Yi was running so fast, Yu Mao could not catch up with him alone. As soon as he took a step, he disappeared from sight.

At this time, Yu Mao had completely forgotten the task of donating steps in [Kuafu Chasing the Sun], and was only thinking about following Yi to follow the plot of shooting the sun.

For other players who follow the normal process, they are still working hard to clear the dungeon and donate steps to help Kuafu get one step closer to the sun.

——However, the plot of the Kuafu chasing the sun event was doomed to fail. No matter how hard the players tried to donate their steps to Kuafu when they saw him getting more and more tired, in the end Kuafu still collapsed on the way to chasing the sun and fell in front of the big lake.

And at the moment when Kuafu fell, Yu Mao saw Houyi drawing his bow and arrow towards the dark sky.

Yu Mao never opens a live broadcast room when playing games, nor is he used to sharing his gaming process with others, but this time, he opened a live broadcast for the first time.

It's not for a large number of people to see, but just to allow the live broadcast room's built-in clearest and most advanced screen recording system to record the shocking scenes that may appear later.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yu Mao didn't know how long he had been waiting in the dark night, but he looked at Yi who was standing on the top of the cliff in the East China Sea in front of him. He had not moved since he put on the bow and arrow, and he had managed to hold on.

As the night passed, the ten suns that had circled the back finally emerged on the other side of the sea level, chirping and flapping their wings as they flew towards the land.

As they approached, Yu Mao saw that the water in the East China Sea began to boil. Countless fish, shrimps and various marine creatures in it were cooked thoroughly in an instant. Various winged fish that were forced out of the sea by the boiling water turned into ashes the moment they jumped out of the sea.

Yu Mao was a little scared when he saw this scene.

Any living creature is naturally afraid of high temperatures, but he insisted on staying because he saw that Yi still didn't move.

The young man who was good at archery tilted his head and tightened the bowstring. The sweat on his body evaporated like water. As the Golden Crow got closer and closer, he felt that the air around him was surrounded by scorching heat, but he still waited patiently for the opportunity.

The moment of approach, the moment of exposure of flaws.

Yu Mao's eyes started to blur due to the heat. He just summoned his companions with ice skills to cool himself down when he suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air. A streak of light so fast that it was almost invisible disappeared from his sight in an instant.

But the next moment, among the group of Golden Crows playing unscrupulously in the sky, one of the Golden Crows stopped flapping its wings, and then fell down with a wailing sound. The further it fell, the dimmer the golden light on its body became. By the time it crashed into the surface of the East China Sea, the light on the Golden Crow had completely disappeared, revealing its original appearance as a small bird with black feathers.

The blood spilled in the air was like a golden sunset.

The other golden crows suddenly panicked and flew away screaming in panic.

A few of them flew downwards, probably trying to pull up the falling Golden Crow, while the others flew in four directions.

Yu Mao only saw Yi shoot the first arrow, then methodically take out the second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow from the quiver...

The falling sun sank to the bottom of the East China Sea, and the golden blood that spread across the sea surface was like the afterglow of the setting sun on the sea.

Yu Mao was not the only one who saw this scene; everyone saw it.

Because this is the end cg of the first phase of the event.

When his quiver was empty, the only surviving Golden Crow was able to fly back in a hurry.

The young man holding the bow silently put the bow back on his back, turned to the stunned Yu Mao and said, "Let's get out of here."

"Go back to the tribe?" Yu Mao came back to his senses.

"No." Yi said, "We can't go back now."

He looked up at the sky.

——CG ends here.

[Is this... the end?]

After watching the first stage of the CG, the players were a little overwhelmed. They stared blankly at the peach forest that was transformed by the cane thrown by Kuafu when he fell, and then looked at the receding sunlight.

[Wait, this Yi, why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere?]

[Of course he has. There's a tribe among those tribes that's good at archery, and he used to be in that tribe!]

[No...wait, even if the sun in the Shanhai world isn't a fixed star, but a golden chariot and a golden crow, it's still too strange to be shot down by an arrow! Isn't this just like throwing a rock at a first-magnitude star and shattering it?!]

This is not a good comparison.

[You've only been playing Shanhailu for a short time, haven't you? This is just a small scene. Nuwa mending the sky is even more shocking. This kind of exaggeration and impossibility is precisely the beauty and shock that Shanhailu possesses.]

Just as the players were discussing heatedly, the system automatically followed the program set by Xu Piao and asked the players to choose the demon or witch camp.

This familiar process, this familiar selection of camps...

After a moment of tactical silence, the players unanimously shook their heads and refused to choose a camp.

[No, this time it's definitely going to be the same as the Dragon and Phoenix fight, right? Ha, I saw through CH's little tricks a long time ago.]

[Maybe both sides will fail again, so I won’t choose. Please beg me.]

[Hahaha, don't even think about playing tricks on me again]

[Hey, I won’t join either, I’ll choose a third party~]

【……】

The system also fell into tactical silence.

[Okay, the third faction has been selected for you, the human race.]

The author has something to say:

Why is it a bit like "If you can't teach your naughty child well, someone else will do it for you" [Hey

What I wrote here is some rationalization. In the mythological version, at least he was brought up by his parents, but he still ran out and caused a natural disaster. He is really a naughty child.

In addition, in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" version of Yi shooting nine suns, Yi's red bow was given to him by Emperor Jun. Yi was an official of Emperor Jun, that is, he shot his nine sons to death with the bow given by the father of the ten golden crows.
