Chapter 25
It was said that Yuan Yitong was a werewolf, but Mu He looked at his ranking on the kill list and found that he had climbed to the seventh place without realizing it.
The eighth is follow the wind.
He sent his application to join the Death Hymn with some doubts, but this time, it was approved in no time.
System: [You have joined the Death Hymn guild and gained Level 2 Protection Power, increasing physical damage by 40 points and spell damage by 20 points.]
System: [Your guild is on the list and has received the blessing of the gods, increasing your agility by 10 points.]
System: [Your guild's kill value is too high, deducting 20 points of physical defense and 10 points of spell defense.]
Mu He raised his eyebrows. It was the first time he knew that a guild with too high a killing value would have its attributes deducted.
By the way, Yuan Yitong actually guessed it right - the Death Hymn guild only accepts red names?
Just as I was thinking this, two more system prompts sounded in my ears:
System: [Elf Wizard Cylinder has joined the Death Hymn guild.]
System: [Demon Clan Priest Suifeng has joined the Death Hymn guild.]
Yuan Yitong: [Hey, you're coming in! Mu Tou, hurry up and come in too!]
Mu He: [Sorry, I'm faster than you.]
Yuan Yitong: [……]
Now that I have a guild, I can finally clear dungeons with confidence.
Mu He added Yuan Yitong and Suifeng to the team, opened the map and looked at the distance between himself and the City of Right and Wrong. He estimated that it would take another 5 minutes to reach the city by riding a wolf.
But before that, he remembered something very important: [We are now over level 25, but we haven't even collected the materials for level 20 equipment.]
Suifeng: [I can handle it myself by wasting their equipment. ]
Mu He: [Yes, they have their own guild.]
Yuan Yitong: [Then what else do we lack? ]
[18 pairs of fairy wings, 9 demon ram horns.] Mu He responded, [Fairy wings are only found by the hidden boss in the Fairy Flower Sea. Each boss gives you a pair. I leave it to you, Cylinder.]
[Holy crap!] Yuan Yitong thought he'd misheard. [One for each! I have to kill 18?! Big brother, what do you think a hidden boss is? A bunch of leeks? Just randomly picked?]
"That can't be helped. Aren't we going to play professionally?" Mu He shrugged. "It's okay to level up your equipment slowly, but you have to maximize its attributes. I'm not asking you to wear professional gear when playing online games. You can use level 25 orange gear for now."
Yuan Yitong: [Do you think even orange equipment is also a leek?!]
Mu He: [If you don’t have orange equipment, use purple equipment. If you don’t have purple equipment, use blue equipment. If you don’t have blue equipment, use green equipment. There is always a piece of equipment that suits you! ]
Yuan Yitong: [……]
Yuan Yitong didn't say anything else. Mu He assumed he had accepted his fate and continued, "As for the Demonic Goat Horn, it only appears from the hidden boss in the Dark Fragrance Plains, but we've already left the Dark Fragrance Plains..."
Yuan Yitong: [Let’s go back.]
Mu He rolled his eyes. "That's easy to say, but you don't know how far the City of Right and Wrong is from the Dark Fragrance Plains! I'm still on my way, my face is almost stiff from the wind!"
Yuan Yitong: [Where is the post station?]
Mu He: [The post in the City of Right and Wrong can only be used after it is upgraded to level 30. I don’t know what the planner was thinking...]
As Mu He was speaking, he suddenly thought of something and clicked on the guild warehouse to take a look.
There were more materials in the Death Hymn warehouse than he had imagined, but the rare materials were as scarce as he had expected, with no fairy wings or magic goat horns.
However, even if there was one, he couldn't just take it.
Most of the materials in the guild warehouse need to be exchanged with guild contribution points. The rarer the material, the more contribution points are required for exchange.
At this moment, Mu He received a friend request from a demon wizard named "Qie Shi Tian Xia".
Mu He had an impression of this ID and guessed that this person had helped Death Anthem break the dungeon record.
He chose to accept it.
Then I received a voice message from the other party: [Hello. ]
To Mu He's surprise, it was a very gentle voice, without the brutal and violent feeling that the other party's ID gave him.
Mu He hesitated and replied "Hello".
Qie Shi Tian Xia: [Um, I see you've all reached level 25, do you want to farm?]
Mu He: [Which version? Sky Lock Bridge?]
Tiansuo Lianqiao is a level 25 five-person dungeon. No one has started to play it yet. All major guilds are trying to break the record of the Nether Cave dungeon, which is considered their last struggle.
But Mu He no longer wanted to stir up trouble.
However, Qie Shi Tian Xia's answer was: [Let's go to the Netherworld Cave first.]
Tsk, Death Hymn also wants to stir up trouble?
[Alright.] Mu He curled his lips, clearly reluctant, but then he quickly thought of something and his eyes turned, [But there's a condition.]
@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Qie Shi Tianxia didn't expect Mu He to put forward conditions. He was stunned for a moment before reacting: [What conditions?]
"I need nine demonic goat horns," Mu He said, adding, "If you think this is too much, I can pay for them."
Qie Shi Tianxia fell silent, as if he was thinking, or discussing with others.
After a while, he responded: "Let's break the record first, get into the top three, and then we'll talk."
[Uh...] Mu He blinked.
The records of the Nether Cave are becoming more and more terrifying. Yuan Yitong has already passed level 26, and Luanhua and the others don't seem to have any intention of leaving the rosemary sea.
It is indeed a bit difficult to help Death Anthem to reach the top three in the clearance record when there is a shortage of manpower.
However, it is really unsettling to negotiate terms after the record is set - what if the other party turns against the agreement?
Without waiting for Mu He to bring it up, Qie Shi Tian Xia said, "Don't worry, as long as you're still a member of Death Hymn, the terms we negotiate will definitely satisfy both of us."
Emmm……
Mu He seriously suspected that the news of his reckless behavior had been spread.
[Okay, I believe you.] He said, pulling Qie Shi Tian Xia into the team and kicking Yuan Yi Tong out.
Yuan Yitong: ???
Yuan Yitong: [Brother! Why did you kick me?]
Mu He: [I'm going to set a record in the Nether Cave, you go get the Fairy Wings first.]
Yuan Yitong: [Oh, helping the guild break records? I asked you to join the guild, you deserve it!]
Mu He flipped through the silver and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
After Qie Shi Tian Xia recruited two more people to join the team, Mu He handed over the title of captain to him: [I'm not with the dungeon guide, you lead us in.]
And kill the world: [OK.]
Mu He: [Wait, let me take a look at the career configuration first.]
Mu He opened the team list and took a look: a luxurious lineup of all level 25, including him, a swordsman, a shield guard, two mages and a priest.
Mu He: [No shield guards, bring an assassin. I'll take all the boss's damage. Aren't we trying to break the record? Deal the most damage to buy time.]
And kill the world: [OK.]
So, a few minutes later, the lineup that Qie Shi Tian Xia brought into the Netherworld Cave was as follows:
Level 25 Demon Mage: Kill the World
Level 25 Demon Swordsman: Mu He
Level 25 Demon Priest: Follow the Wind
Level 25 Demon Mage: Leave No One Alive
Level 25 Demon Assassin: One-Hit Kill
The entire demon clan's lineup is a sea of black equipment.
When I looked up, I saw five blood-red IDs, which were as glaring as they could be.
Mu He chuckled awkwardly and gave his usual instructions: "There's no time to lose, let's lure the monsters. The assassins are fast, so you can take on the long-range ones. The mages go north, and follow me."
Qie Shi Tianxia hesitated to speak and raised his eyebrows.
In the end, all those words boiled down to one sentence: "Listen to him."
When Mu He heard these three words, he realized that he had accidentally snatched the command of the team. However, when he looked at Qie Shi Tianxia guiltily, the other party nodded at him calmly, motioning him to continue.
Only then did Mu He feel at ease to pull the monster.
Moreover, although Shi Tianxia had a domineering ID, his voice was extremely soft and his face was enchanting, which made Mu He feel that something was wrong.
Perhaps it was because before today, he had thought the people of Death Hymn were too cruel.
After Mu He lured the monsters away and started to kill, he immediately put aside all distractions and gave orders seriously: "I have control, the mage should keep up the damage! The assassin is slow, speed up!"
"The priest controls, the mage combos! Yes, keep this rhythm! The assassin starts to harvest!" @Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
"Assassin, go to the next door, quick, quick!"
After clearing the dungeon so many times, Mu He has gained some experience. When he is about to clear all the monsters, he immediately lets the assassin go to the next door. Then, when the door appears, the assassin enters and everyone is directly teleported to the next map, which can shorten a lot of time.
This time, without Yuan Yitong to lead the pace, Mu He had to lead the team on his own. In addition, it was his first time cooperating with the players of Death Anthem, and there was no tacit understanding between them, which resulted in him having to issue more and more complicated commands.
As he was directing, he couldn't help but sigh - Luanhua and Shuying were fine, they were professional players, so their operations were not surprising. Yuan Yitong was truly amazing.
Originally, he didn't feel much when he went to the dungeon with Yuan Yitong, but now that a few different people have gone to the dungeon together, after the comparison, Mu He suddenly felt that Yuan Yitong was unfathomable.
Hiss—is that guy really playing Yuling for the first time? Is his talent that high?
All in all, Mu He's command of this dungeon was not smooth, but the final result of the five people still barely made it into the top three.
First place: 14 minutes 44 seconds 09 (Rosemary Sea)
Second place: 15 minutes 01 seconds 32 (Hymn of Death)
Third place: 15 minutes 26 seconds 10 (Wilful and frivolous)
"Let's try again. I think we can go about 15 seconds faster." Mu He suggested.
It’s not that he is so obsessed with being number one, but he feels that if he ranks higher, he will be more confident when making conditions with Qie Shi Tianxia.
However, Qieshi Tianxia responded: "Alright, let's leave it at that. Mi Li is a professional after all, so give them some face. We don't absolutely need to take first place, we just want to use the list to promote ourselves."
[Emmm...Excuse me for being blunt, but the Kill List is almost completely dominated by Death Hymn. This level of publicity is unmatched by any other guild.] Mu He swore he wasn't joking, after all, he was on this list as well.
Qie Shi Tian Xia was silent for a moment before responding, "But as everyone knows, dungeon records are the most direct basis for judging a guild's strength. If you only have a spot on the kill list without a dungeon record, you'll only be ridiculed by the crowd."
[Ha, so you're also afraid of being laughed at?] Mu He was surprised. He thought Death Hymn had given up and that was why they only accepted red names.
Qie Shi Tian Xia coughed and kindly reminded: [You are also a member of the Death Hymn.]
Mu He suddenly realized: [That’s right.]
Qie Shi Tian Xia: [Nine demonic goat horns, huh? I'll bring people to fight them, no charge.]
[Wow, so good?] Mu He blinked in surprise, [That's really helpful, thank you!]
Qie Shi Tianxia was about to say "You're welcome", but before he could open his mouth, a system prompt box appeared in front of him, which stunned him on the spot.
System Announcement: [Congratulations to Elf Wizard Cylinder (level 26) for completing the first kill of the Fairy Queen (level 38 hidden boss)! It took 17 minutes, 27 seconds and 56 seconds.]
"Holy crap! He single-handedly killed a hidden boss at level 12?" The one-hit kill next to Qie Shi Tianxia couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Who is this guy? He's so awesome!"
Qie Shi Tianxia reminded him helplessly: "We are from our guild."
Kill with one strike: "Ah?!"
At the same time, players in other places were also discussing:
"Isn't the wizard a support class? Killing a hidden boss by yourself after reaching level 12?!"
"What kind of training did this wizard develop? How could he be so awesome?"
"Look at the rankings! This guy must be a big shot! Holy shit... 6th on the level list, 1st on the elf list, 1st on the wizard list, 3rd on the kill list!"
However, at this moment, no one was more shocked than the president of the Reckless and Frivolous Guild!
Haoqi Qingkuang couldn't believe what he saw!
Haoqi Qingkuang: [Didn't I tell you to go and surround her?! What's wrong with you? Not only did you fail to kill her, but you also let her kill the hidden boss alone?!]
"President, this isn't our fault. This woman is simply too strong! Her level is currently the highest in the Elf Zone, and I don't know what she's cultivated, but her damage is ridiculously high. Once she controls you, she'll unleash a full barrage of skills and send you straight back to the safe zone, leaving you no chance to breathe!"
"Yes, President! Look how many times we've surrounded her? Every time, she either escapes or we're completely wiped out. If I die again, I'll be demoted!"
Haoqi Qingkuang: [What about the hidden boss? What's going on with the hidden boss?!]
[This really can't be blamed on us. The hidden boss appeared suddenly, and even she was startled.]
"But speaking of this, this woman is truly despicable! She deliberately directed our attacks towards the boss. If we attracted the boss's hatred, wouldn't we be wiped out by the boss?"
Haoqi Qingkuang let out a "tsk" sound, really not knowing how to comment on this matter.
—There are so many of you, and you all get wiped out instantly, but she, alone, can kill the hidden boss?!
In the end, all my words boiled down to one sentence: [I suspect she's a professional player, but unfortunately I have no evidence.]
[Then, President, should we still kill her? ]
Haoqi Qingkuang: [Killing shit! If she keeps killing, she'll be number one on the killing list!]
So, the members of the Wanton and Frivolous Guild, just as they were getting ready to set out from the safe zone of the Fairy Flower Sea, returned the same way and disbanded, each going their own way.
Yuan Yitong, who was far away in the depths of the sea of flowers, looked at the little bit of skin and blood left on his body and the storage space without even a bottle of red medicine. He smiled bitterly, climbed up the tree, sat on the tree and slowly recovered.
He hoped that the reckless and frivolous group of people would not come again. This time he really couldn't hold on any longer.
At this moment, he received a voice call from Mu He: [Great, you found a pair already? ]
Upon hearing Mu He's voice, Yuan Yitong cried out "Wow!" and said, "Mu Tou, come and save me! I'm dying! My skin is so thin it's easy to break with just one poke!"
Mu He: [You're overthinking it. I'm a demon and can't enter your elf territory. Also, don't speak so dirty.]
Yuan Yitong: [You're so dirty! If anything's dirty, it's your thoughts! I don't care, come and save me! I'm in extreme danger! You're so reckless and reckless, relying on the Death Hymn, you can't reach the elves, and you've been sending people to hunt me down! They know where I am, and once they get here from the safe zone, I'm done!]
Oh, I see.
Mu He made light of it, but he couldn't really leave Yuan Yitong to die without help, so he seriously thought of a solution: "Well, you hold on. I'm going to the pharmacy to buy some medicine now. I'll see you in the dungeon later."
Yuan Yitong: [Hurry up, Wood! Even for the Fairy Wings' sake, you have to save me! My ID is incredibly popular right now. If I die and the Fairy Wings don't drop, I lose!]
[Okay, okay, stop babbling, be good.] After Mu He finished comforting Yuan Yitong, he immediately sent a voice message to Qie Shi Tianxia, [Brother, kick someone out, I'll pull someone over here.]
Qie Shi Tianxia was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and agreed readily without asking why.
After discussing with the two people around him, he finally kicked out "No One Left Behind", who was also a mage.
As soon as he finished kicking the opponent, Mu He pulled Yuan Yitong into the team and said in the team channel: [Enter the Sky Lock Bridge! Quick!]
Qie Shi Tianxia didn't think much about it and immediately contacted the copy guide of Tiansuo Lianqiao and brought the whole team in.
Soon after entering, I heard a relieved female voice: "I'm saved..."
He subconsciously turned his head to look, and was almost blinded by Yuan Yitong's snow-white robe.
Yuan Yitong, an elf, looked extremely dazzling against the backdrop of the four demons, like a goddess descending from the sky.
However, although he seems to be shining and pure, he has a terrifyingly red name on his head.
Looking at his health bar again, it was so thin that he would die if touched.
Seeing Yuan Yitong's precarious skin, Mu He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Puff - Hahahaha! Yitong! You also have this day!"
Yuan Yi kicked Mu He's leg in a childish manner!
"Damn it! Take it easy! Will you be responsible if you kick me to pieces?" Mu He cursed, but his hands did not stop moving - he traded most of the red medicine on him to Yuan Yitong.
Suifeng on the side said nothing, his face looking a little ugly.
When he first came in, he wanted to give Yuan Yi a sip of milk, but now he wishes he could send the other person to heaven with a "Holy Light Punishment"!
Mu He and Yuan Yitong were still flirting unscrupulously.
@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Literature City
Mu He punched Yuan Yitong and said, "You're great! Now the entire Yuling remembers your ID!"
Yuan Yitong immediately punched back: "Why are you hitting me! Do you understand how to be gentle with women? Do you understand?"
Suifeng uttered a "tsk" and couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
However, before he could open his mouth to stop the two, someone else spoke first.
——And that will kill the whole world.
He stared at Yuan Yitong for a long moment without blinking, then suddenly asked, "Are you... a man or a woman?"
Yuan Yitong: Shocked?!
