Dark Gold level; so far, only one has appeared in the Skeleton Legion. Jiang Hao speculates that it is likely a high-ranking commander.
Jiang Hao's little skeleton summoned 10,000 Dark Gold-level Skeleton Warriors in an instant, and each Skeleton Warrior could summon another 10,000 Silver-level Skeleton Warriors. If the opposing skeleton army had expressions, Jiang Hao guessed they would be terrified.
They dared not allow the Skeleton Warrior to be summoned again. If 100 million Silver-level Skeleton Warriors appeared in the canyon at the same time, it would be a disaster more terrifying than a flash flood or mudslide. The Central Peak Pass would probably be crushed by the little skeleton's minions, and not a single soldier inside would survive.
Jiang Hao wouldn't do something like wiping out his own entire team.
Ten thousand skeleton warriors charged forward with an invincible momentum. If the silver-level skeleton warriors were agile and ten thousand of them could form a giant rake, then the ten thousand dark gold-level skeleton warriors were like ten thousand flying swords of a sword immortal.
With a fierce momentum, they advanced relentlessly forward. They didn't aim to miss a single one, but rather to penetrate as quickly as possible. With a movement speed of 4800 and an attack speed of 9 times per second, the skeleton warriors often hadn't even reacted before reaching the tenth row behind them. Five or six monsters in the tenth row instantly turned green, becoming the little skeletons' new subordinates. Then, they attacked their remaining, overlooked comrades.
At this moment, the 10,000 skeleton warriors had already advanced another 10 meters.
The skeleton warriors displayed formidable combat tactics. They not only fully utilized their own combat advantages but also skillfully exploited the enemy's positioning to devise the fastest and most effective strategies. Their speed in recruiting subordinates far surpassed that of silver-level skeleton warriors. In the blink of an eye, the skeleton warriors had already advanced a kilometer, while on the side where the smaller skeletons stood, their previously recruited subordinates had just cleared away any monsters that had been missed.
The minions summoned by the little skeleton displayed combat capabilities far exceeding Jiang Hao's expectations, making him jump for joy. If things continued at this pace, the little skeleton would probably level up again soon.
"Newbie Village Announcement: The Qiongfeng Pass has been attacked by the Skeleton Legion. The Qiongfeng Pass Legion Commander has issued a recruitment notice for the city-building quest. All players will be teleported to Qiongfeng Pass within 5 seconds. Please be prepared. After completing the quest, you will receive generous rewards."
At the same time, this announcement was heard in 24 of the 600 newbie villages connected to Jinling City.
This included the newbie village No. 006 in the Shanghai district where Jiang Hao was located. When the announcement sounded, some players in the new village were teaming up to fight monsters, some were doing dungeons, and some were gathering items and doing quests in the wild. As the 5-second countdown ended, a flash of white light appeared, and all the players instantly disappeared from their spots.
When they reappeared, they were already in front of the camp at Zhongfeng Pass.
240,000 players were gathered together, including warriors, assassins, mages, archers, priests, and summoners, each carrying a weapon, as if they were about to participate in an epic battle.
Some players were still busy fighting monsters and hadn't heard the announcement at all. Suddenly teleported here, they were completely confused. Looking around, besides the dense crowd of players, there were also many soldiers in gray armor, marching in formation with weapons that didn't look like combat weapons. On the city wall ahead, on the high platform, many soldiers also stood. A general stood on the general's platform in the center of the city wall, speaking.
"Attention, adventurers. I am Zhen Nantian, the commander in charge of guarding Qiongfeng Pass. Since the walls of the pass have been destroyed, we need your help. Your task is simple."
Zhen Nantian pointed to the soldiers responsible for quarrying who were advancing towards the rear.
"Follow them to the quarry at Houfeng Pass, and wait until they have finished quarrying the bricks."
Zhen Nantian pointed in the direction behind him again.
"You just need to move the bricks to the front pass."
Zhen Nantian gripped the hilt of the Blade of Supervision, his voice amplified by the magic array, becoming even more powerful and resonant. After being blocked by the cliffs on either side, it echoed through the canyon. The 240,000 players heard it with absolute clarity.
Upon hearing that they were there to "carry bricks" (i.e., move bricks), almost all the players started shouting.
"I thought I was here to kill monsters, but you've made me move bricks. Aren't the bricks I move every day enough?"
"Working people, working souls, I never thought that even playing a game wouldn't free me from the fate of working."
"Damn it, I slack off at work and only get five days off a week. You want me to come here and do manual labor? Can you even afford to pay me?"
Zhen Nantian ignored their complaints, coughed a few times, and his loud voice rang out again in the canyon.
"Each person carries 17 bricks. Once you have carried them all, you will receive a silver-level treasure chest and be immediately teleported out of this place to continue your adventure. If you do not carry all 17 bricks, you will have to stay here forever until the Front Peak Pass is completed."
After saying those few words, Zhen Nantian fell silent.
The players' complaints stopped instantly, and their breathing became rapid.
Silver-tier chests! The server has only been open for a few days, and most of them are around level 10, with the highest being no more than level 15. They've entered normal mode dungeons a few times, but they've never even entered hard or nightmare mode. Even when they have, it's just for exploration. When have they ever seen silver-tier equipment?
Now, all they have to do is move a few bricks to get a silver-level treasure chest for free. How could they not be excited? The difficulty of the Lingxu game is simply unbelievable. If they had a silver-level piece of equipment, wouldn't they be able to easily slaughter monsters in the wild? Wouldn't their leveling speed be like riding a rocket?
The only people who have ever seen silver-grade equipment are the members of the Ice and Snow World Guild in Newbie Village 006 of Shanghai. The Ice Queen once showed them a piece of silver-grade armor and two silver-grade weapons: one called the Commander's Blade, and the other called the Bloodthirsty Axe. Both were top-tier silver-grade equipment.
I heard that the Ice Queen bought these pieces of equipment from the Lord of Hell for over two million.
Unfortunately, the Ice Queen herself is a mage, so she can't use these pieces of equipment. Therefore, the [Commander's Blade] was given to the warrior in guild team number 2, and the armor and [Bloodthirsty Axe] were given to the warrior in guild team number 1. Yesterday, I heard that team number 1 has already cleared the hard mode of the Death Mine...
Recalling the rumors about silver-level equipment, the players in the No. 006 beginner village in Shanghai District were all flushed, their excitement surpassing that of others!
Silver-tier treasure chests are guaranteed to yield usable silver-tier equipment. With good luck, you might even find a usable silver-tier weapon. Even if you don't use it, you can resell the chest for at least 400,000!
Can you really earn hundreds of thousands just by moving a few bricks?
Feeling great!
