Chapter 245 Preview of the Third Round of Mythic Carriers
【Confirmed to enter the mythical fog of Black Wukong. 】
[Difficulty level: 3 stars]
As the system's voice fell, the Nashu robot opened the book, and gray mist swept out from the pages, enveloping Anson Lu, Blue Owl, and Urushihara Ritsu, causing their figures to disappear in the corridor.
But in the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the foggy space.
The structure here is similar to that of the Flower-Fruit Mountain. The creatures derived from the influence of mythological carriers are some mutated monkeys with bared fangs and claws. Some of them hold tridents, some hold spears, some hold machetes, and some have blades embedded in their tails.
Their master is a ferocious monster with a bull's head and a human body. He is extremely strong, wearing golden armor and holding an iron rod. Judging from his various appearance features, he must correspond to the Bull Demon King in "Journey to the West".
[Mythical Mist Boss Name: Bull Demon]
[Boss difficulty star: 3 stars]
[Killing the Boss will earn you rewards: a large number of evolution coins, a large number of experience points, and a Mythology Remnant Key (Black Wukong). ]
The dense fog was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the monkeys' screams were sharp and piercing, hiding a violent anger that seemed to have been suppressed for years, so loud that people couldn't help but cover their ears.
"So, what should we do?" Lan Xiao hugged his shoulders and asked with his head tilted.
Urushihara Ritsu held the cup with his index and middle fingers, took a sip of coffee, and said two words lightly:
"Lie down."
"Lie down?" Lan Xiao was puzzled.
At this time, Anson Lu slowly moved forward, sighed softly and put his hands in his pockets.
Lan Xiao used her skill "Detective Observation Method" on him. From her perspective, she could observe Anson Deer in almost 365 degrees.
His expression gradually turned cold, and his dark brown eyes shone sternly in the darkness.
The contrast between this person before and after is really huge... Although she had heard that the world's number one player had a weird temperament, it was only after seeing it with her own eyes that she realized what was strange about Anson Deer.
"Chess field."
The surging field spread out, and in an instant it covered half of the foggy space. Countless chess shadows flew around the boy's shoulders, and a huge shadow slowly rose from behind him. It was a domineering and rampant dragon.
"I see." Blue Owl understood the meaning of the words 'lie down' and turned to look at Crow: "Compared to this, why do you carry a cup of coffee wherever you go?"
"Drinking coffee is just a personal preference, don't worry about it."
Urushihara Ritsu slightly curled the corners of his mouth, threw a pocket watch to her, and signaled Lan Xiao with his eyes to catch it.
"What is this?" Lan Xiao reached out and took the pocket watch.
At this moment, Anson Deer grabbed the chess shadow around his shoulder, and two mechanical lions appeared from the void, turning into parts and fitting into the wings of the Dark Light Dragon, causing the momentum of this mad dragon to surge again.
"This pocket watch has a timing function." Urushihara Ritsu took another sip of coffee. "You can try to see how many seconds it takes him to solve it."
"That boss doesn't look that weak."
Lan Xiao said this while playing with his exquisitely crafted pocket watch.
"It seems there is no need to count anymore." Urushihara Ritsu smiled slightly.
"ha?"
Lan Xiao suddenly raised his head, and his eyes under his baseball cap slowly widened.
"Bang——"
With a loud bang, the Bull Demon fell heavily to the ground. The gray dragon's claws covered with gray light tore off its head, and hideous blood splattered everywhere.
Lan Xiao was stunned for two seconds, looked around in disbelief, and suddenly what came into his sight were the corpses of strange monkeys all over the ground.
Next to one of the corpses, there stood a figure hidden in the darkness. This indifferent figure swung a dagger in the air, wiping away the blood on the tip of the knife.
She slowly walked out of the darkness, her skirt fluttering in the wind and her short black hair swaying with her steps.
"Who is that?"
Lan Xiao stared at the girl, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether she was a human or Anson Lu's pawn, because her expression and appearance were too real, just like a real person.
"The stone statue of the queen." said Urushihara Ritsu.
"A stone statue of the queen?"
Blue Owl murmured repeatedly.
On the Internet, she also paid attention to the information of "old chess players" for a long time. The chess piece of the Queen's stone statue was nicknamed "Anson Deer's beloved concubine" by netizens at that time.
After all, no matter which copy Anson Deer appears in, this chess piece will basically be used, so the citizens and audiences have a deep impression of it.
But what Lan Xiao didn't expect was that after only two rounds of dungeons, the stone statue of Anson Deer's queen suddenly changed its appearance and turned into a short-haired girl who was completely indistinguishable from a real person.
Natasha seemed to be aware of Blue Owl's gaze. She moved her purple eyes away, stared at her for a few seconds, put the dagger into her sleeve, and saluted gracefully to show her respect.
Lan Xiao was stunned again.
Natasha's salute was so graceful, as if a real noble was expressing his affection for her.
But on the contrary, the tyrannical gray dragon next to him kept reminding Lan Xiao: these two, without exception, were just pawns of Anson Deer.
Thinking of this, Blue Owl's awe of Anson Deer deepened.
She thought that she should have a better understanding of Anson Lu's background through the publicly available dungeon videos and analysis posts written by players.
But when he actually saw it, Lan Xiao realized how superficial his thoughts were.
Anson Lu's back was simply unfathomable. No one knew how many cards he had hidden. What was revealed in these few short seconds was just the tip of the iceberg.
[All monsters in the mythical mist have been eliminated. ]
[Post-war settlement in progress...]
"So, how many seconds?" Urushihara Ritsu asked calmly.
Blue Owl handed the pocket watch back to Crow: "You still need a pocket watch for this? Ten seconds haven't even passed, okay?"
"Then do you understand why Yuliu said that being with Anson Deer doesn't require any cooperation?"
"After all, he is too strong..."
The Dark Light Dragon stood in the blood pool, roaring with an unsatisfied look, with the heat brought by killing lingering in its eyes.
At the same time, a prompt sound popped up in Anson Lu's ear.
[A total of fifteen common monsters - "Huaguoshan Mutated Monkeys" were killed, and each student in the team was allocated 60,000 experience points and 60,000 evolution coins. ]
[Your level has been raised by one level, and all attributes have been improved - Current level: Lv36 (58,000/80,000 experience points)]
[Your current balance: 210,000 Evolution Coins. ]
[Congratulations, the student team successfully killed the elite monster "Bull Demon" in the Myth Mist. Each student was allocated 100,000 experience points, 60,000 evolution coins, and a copy item "Myth Remnant Key"*1. ]
[Your level has increased by one level, and all attributes have been improved - Current level: Lv37 (78,000/84,000 experience points)]
[Your current balance: 270,000 Evolution Coins. ]
"Natasha, Darklight Dragon, thank you for your hard work."
As Anson Lu spoke, he put away the chess field, shrugged his shoulders and turned around.
"Return to the academy."
The next moment after he read out the command, the opening of the gray fog space opened at the end, "Go back." He took a step ahead of the two of them, passed by them, and walked into the crack connecting the foggy space and reality.
Lan Xiao followed closely behind, walked towards the space crack, and sighed in a low voice:
"It's really straightforward."
Urushihara Ritsu finished his coffee, walked slowly, and said with a smile:
"He's just worried about other people. Don't be fooled by his carefree appearance. He actually cares about everyone around him."
"Really?"
"Well, he can become the president among our group, so he must be irreplaceable."
"That's true."
The two of them also walked into the crack one after another and disappeared at the end of the foggy space.
Anson Lu opened his eyes again. The incandescent light in the corridor was a little dazzling.
The Nashu robot was still standing in the corridor of the dormitory building, waiting for them to return. There were only three people in this team, and they had resolved the issue so quickly, not to mention the nine-person team next door. They would surely return to the corridor soon as well.
Anson Lu opened the luggage panel and took a look at the mythical key fragment he had just obtained.
The pattern of the item is a key, on which is engraved a phantom wearing black armor and holding a long black and gold stick.
[Item name: Myth Remnant Key - Black Wukong.]
[Item Description: A mythical remnant key that contains the power of "Black Wukong". The remnant key will be attracted by the corresponding mythical carrier. It can help the carrier go to the location of the mythical carrier, provided that the mythical carrier appears in the world.]
Not long after, another team of students returned.
They all seemed to be safe and sound, and everyone started to check the rewards they had just obtained in the dungeon.
Yuri raised his eyes, glanced at Anson Deer, then lowered his head and started playing Minesweeper again.
Among the nine people, only William looked helpless. As a newcomer, he was bullied by the team bully Yuliu and was forced to take on the task of taking care of Dong Ge.
"Haodong, I'm letting you down."
He shrugged his shoulders and put Xiong Haodong down from his back.
“Drink…drink…”
Xiong Haodong fell to the ground with a thud.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, gasping for breath, and muttered: "Fuck...Fuck, what the hell was that just now?"
Asuka Uesugi hugged her elbows, her face still a little gloomy. In the past, she would have been pounding the wall and laughing.
Chu Qimo glanced at Anson Lu and said, "President, you guys are really fast."
"The monsters here are just weaker."
Lan Xiao pulled his cap down, smacked his lips, and thought: Come on, you are just too strong...
Seeing that everyone had gathered, the Nashu robot's eyes lit up and said:
"It seems that everyone has obtained the Myth Fragment Key. Congratulations. You will be in the classroom on time at 6:30 tomorrow morning. Please do not be late, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
As he finished speaking, he had already left the corridor.
Anson Lu took a deep breath and said, "Rest. We have another battle to fight tomorrow."
By tomorrow, the boss battle of the Huanjing copy will most likely break out. At that time, Anson Lu must use the mythical remnant key to fly to Huanjing and fight side by side with Lorenzo and Jiang Yiji.
He had a feeling that this would definitely not be an easy battle.
After the group was dismissed, everyone found a dormitory to rest.
Anson Lu wanted to talk to Asuka, but Asuka was still the same, saying that there was nothing wrong with her, and then locked herself in the dormitory.
"Good night." Asuka's voice came from the other side of the door.
"good evening."
Anson Lu shrugged. Since she was so resistant to communication, he had no choice but to return to the dormitory.
He took off his shoes and lay down on the bed. His groggy mind and tired body caused him to fall asleep immediately.
A night in silence.
Boom.
Knock knock.
The knock on the door woke Anson Deer from his sleep, and he took a look at the player's built-in clock function.
It is now 5:30 in the morning and we are not late yet. The gathering time set by Nashu is 6:30. The person knocking on the door is most likely Chu Qimo, the only one in Lighthouse who insists on getting up early.
"President, please gather in the classroom after breakfast."
"Coming right up."
After having breakfast in the cafeteria, the players gathered in the classroom.
The robot put its hands behind its back and said slowly, imitating Nash's tone:
"Today's class mainly has two things. First, congratulations on completing the first round of myth carrier crusade. For this, I will reward you with two new myth sequences."
Mythology Sequence...
Anson Deer became more energetic when he heard this term.
There is no doubt that in this hell-level difficulty copy, only by obtaining the myth sequence can you do your best to ensure victory in the subsequent myth carrier crusade.
This is the most critical element of the copy and must be taken seriously.
William had heard about the relevant settings from Crow before, but he still felt interested when he heard Nash say it in person.
So, he asked, "By the way, do support students have a chance to obtain the Myth Sequence?"
"No, only the students who were originally sitting in the classroom have the opportunity to be assigned to the Myth Sequence." said the Nashu robot.
"Haha, that's a pity."
William tapped his forehead twice with his index finger and smiled.
The robot continued, "Then let me preview the information about the third round of mythological carriers."
"There is a third round?!" Xiong Haodong exclaimed.
Maruyama Jun was also surprised. He didn't expect that there would be a next round. It was obvious that the difficulty of defeating each mythological carrier was ridiculously high, okay?
Adel's expression was also somewhat solemn.
After the next two rounds of crusades, who knows how many more players will die... Besides, if we lose a game, a city of considerable size will fall, and that won't just be a matter of player deaths.
Thinking of this, he looked at the silhouette of Anson Deer.
The boy's expression remained calm.
"The third round is the final round of the Mythology Carrier Crusade," the robot explained, "and after all the courses are completed, Mythology Academy will be closed down."
"That's good, it's already the last round..."
Xiong Haodong covered his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, first let's preview the myth carriers that need to be conquered in the third round." Nashu said, "Please assign members as soon as possible according to the panel data so that you can enter the myth mist and obtain the corresponding myth remnant key."
[The third round of the Myth Carrier Crusade will begin soon. Students, please choose one of the following two Myth Carriers to challenge.]
[The name of the first mythological carrier: Yamata no Orochi (the prototype comes from Japanese mythology)]
[The first myth carrier's challenge difficulty star rating: 4.5 stars. ]
[The location of the first myth carrier: Tokyo, Japan. ]
[The first myth carrier's support students: Cosimo (Cyber Assault), Mo Xiaoyuan (Soul Burning Spear). ]
[The name of the second mythological carrier: Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty (the prototype comes from Greek mythology)]
[The challenge difficulty star rating of the second mythical carrier: 4.5 stars. ]
[The location of the second myth carrier: Greece. ]
[The second myth carrier's support students: Tong Muli (Bamboo Shadow Therapist), Kang Lang (Greedy Traveler). ]
