Volume 3 New World Chapter 74: Desperate Situation
After walking across the suspended stone bridge, you will arrive at the back mountain of Xunshan Monastery.
This place is more dilapidated than the previous one, with a few dark caves, and no one knows where they lead to.
Marvin's heart moved slightly, and he observed carefully, and found that people often came in and out of the cave in the center.
The rest of the entrances were covered with dust, as if no one had been there for a long time.
As far as she knew, there was only one swordsmanship master, Kang En, living in seclusion in the entire back mountain.
This must be the place.
After all, this is not Fenan, but the Dead Continent, the most deserted place in the world.
With a little awe in his heart, Marvin did not rush in directly relying on his dark vision. Instead, he lit a candle and slowly walked into the cave.
Anyone who can discuss teachings with Professor Red Copper Dragon on an equal footing is naturally not an ordinary person.
Marvin had some knowledge of Xunshan Monastery, and naturally he had also heard of the swordsmanship master Kang En.
…
The Dead Continent is a brand new expansion pack that was opened in the late stage of the game. As soon as the continent was opened, it attracted a large number of players to gather here.
Although the Dead Zone is desolate, it is home to many monsters and contains many valuable minerals, plants, and even ghosts that Fenan lacks.
Players have always been fearless. What the natives consider an exiled land is, in their eyes, a virgin land worth exploring and digging for gold.
At that time, the impact of the catastrophe in Fenan was gradually weakening, and with the help of the Golden Sons, the city-state gradually prospered.
The gods also have their own territories in Fenan. Although they have not completely established their foothold, except for a few fallen gods, they all have their own spokespersons and a certain number of believers in the world. The strength of the players gives them a headache. They work together to open the door to the dead zone, trying to divert the attention of these greedy and powerful golden sons.
At the same time, there is also a force on the Dead Zone Continent that they should be wary of.
They want to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and weaken their enemies.
As a result, the players encountered a lot of trouble in the Dead Zone. Many guild forces that explored the Dead Zone suffered heavy losses!
Because the object of their development was Xunshan Monastery!
They accepted the mission from the God of Winter in the North and treated Xunshan Monastery as a copy similar to the Scarlet Monastery.
The result is predictable...
After the two sides fought, the players discovered that this high mountain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack not only had rugged roads, but was also covered with formations and runes.
What made them even more crazy was that, on the surface, there were only twenty or so monks in Xunshan Monastery, but in fact, when the war started, many monks who were practicing in other places in the Dead Domain Continent all rushed back.
This place is simply the Shaolin Temple of the Dead Zone. Not only are there hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but it also has a long history.
In the first three days of the war, more than two hundred monks returned, all of them were at least quasi-legendary! Among them, there were more than ten legendary monks!
Normally, no one knew where these little-known legendary monks were hiding, but when Xunshan Monastery was attacked, they all stood up at the first moment.
The players who accepted the task complained bitterly.
Even though there were some legends among the players at that time, they were definitely no match for the Xunshan Monastery with its strong foundation!
Their carefully prepared first wave of attack was crushed.
The angry players went straight to the God of Winter and accused him of releasing the wrong mission information. The God of Winter was just a guy with medium power. He didn't even dare to descend on Fenan. He was blocked by a group of lawless Golden Sons and immediately complained bitterly.
Under pressure from players, especially guild players, the God of Winter had to change his previous promise. Not only did he promise a higher reward, he also sent a divine clone to the Dead Continent to help the Sons of Gold defeat the "evil" Xunshan Monastery.
The scene at that time was grand and there were a large number of related posts on the player forums.
After all, this is the first large-scale cooperation between human players and the gods who rose in the Third Age.
Most people are not optimistic about Xunshan Monastery. It's just a group of monks. Wouldn't they be doomed in the face of the players' human wave tactics?
However, the second attack also ended in failure.
The reason is that the swordsmanship master who lived in seclusion in the back mountain of Xunshan Monastery took action!
Kang En only took one strike and the clone of the God of Winter was chopped into pieces.
The players were stunned. Their morale collapsed!
Only at this time did they understand that Xunshan Monastery was not the evil existence as the gods said, nor was it a copy, but a great worry in the hearts of the gods.
At the same time, the conspiracy of the God of Winter and several other gods in the North was revealed by the Last Valkyrie. Everyone was furious, and the unfortunate God of Winter had his temple demolished by the players.
Although the Cataclysm had already occurred and cooperation between humans and gods was common, players still disliked the gods. In addition, although the destruction of Luanshi Mountain had happened a long time ago, it still became a concern for old players who were unable to participate in legendary battles at the time. Memories of the gods' various bad behaviors came to mind, and with the instigation of a group of people on the forum, the third "wave of extermination of gods" soon arrived.
The Golden Sons gathered together spontaneously and planned to eliminate some weak gods, especially the supporters of the Valkyrie, who went crazy and caused trouble for the major temples in the north.
The gods are powerful, but the vast number of players - especially many of them who are powerful and in the late stage of chuunibyou - are their nemesis.
Marvin clearly remembered that during the "Third Wave of Destruction of Gods", at least four gods had their roots in the human world destroyed, and the God of Winter was severely damaged and almost fell into hibernation.
The fuse of all this is the powerful but low-key force in the Dead Realm - Xunshan Monastery.
Marvin did not participate in all this at that time. He was still playing hide-and-seek with Glenos and preparing for the final ceremony of deification.
However, he was impressed by the strength of Xunshan Monastery.
Especially during the second attack on the monastery, only the sword master Conn showed his skills, and the legendary Cloud Climbing Monk, who was comparable to the Great Elf King, was still elusive. Marvin was particularly curious about how strong this peerless master was, but no one knew what he looked like or whether he was still alive.
However, various legends have been spread.
From that day on, the Dead Continent became a forbidden land for the gods. The powerful gods of the Third Epoch did not dare to easily set foot in that ancient and mysterious land.
…
In the dark cave, the candlelight began to flicker.
The memories ended here, and a fragrant scent rushed into Marvin's nostrils, and he felt that his mind became much clearer.
It turned out to be sandalwood .
Sandalwood is commonly seen in monk temples, but I didn’t expect there would be one here.
A little light shone in from above the cave, and it seemed like there was another world inside.
A free and easy shadow sits leisurely beside a pool of water.
Sword Master Conn.
His back was to Marvin, and he had no knife in his hand.
"Few people can find this place." Conn said casually, "How did you hide it from the monks?"
"No one can hide from their eyes and ears." Marvin smiled slightly: "I am here to deliver a letter, Prince Conn."
In an instant, the air in the entire cave became extremely cold.
The originally calm water suddenly began to waver, and a little water splashed over and flew directly past Marvin's eyes!
Marvin didn't blink.
However, the next second, he felt a cold breath on his face, followed by a burning pain.
Blood flowed down his face.
"I'm sorry...I didn't control my emotions well."
After a long while, Kang En said in silence: "No one has called me that for many years."
Marvin smiled lightly on the surface: "Although some things have passed, it doesn't mean that everyone will forget them."
Conn nodded and asked Marvin to come forward and hand over the professor's letter.
Marvin breathed a sigh of relief.
The risky action he took just now was only to deepen his weight in the heart of this swordsmanship master.
What benefits you really want to get depends on what the professor says in the letter.
After all, although there are very few people who know Kang En's identity, there are always a few in this world.
A prince of a fallen country, a martial arts genius, an exiled wanderer... and a sinner who fell in love with his stepmother.
These identities were like shackles, making Kang En's first half of his life extremely difficult and wandering. It was not until he found himself in swordsmanship that he felt relieved.
He has been living in seclusion in Xunshan for these years, not because he doesn't want to do something, but because he has nothing to do.
All his former enemies had been killed, the woman he loved deeply was dead, and his homeland was no longer there. He had no place to stay.
If you think about it carefully, this sword master is also a pitiful person.
Perhaps only people like this can have a transcendent state of mind and be able to look directly at the almighty gods as indigenous people.
…
There was silence in the cave.
Only the sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time.
Conn read the entire letter quietly. Marvin stood by and observed Conn's expression.
The swordsmanship master is very handsome. Although he has a scar on his face, it does not detract from his elegance at all.
At his level, it would actually be very easy to remove a scar. The reason he didn't do it was simply because this scar had a special meaning to him.
Thinking of this, Ma Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Beauty is a disaster.
After reading the letter, Conn fell into a long period of thought.
Ma Wen was not in a hurry and just waited.
After a long time, Kang En finally came to his senses and said to himself, "What happened that made the professor feel the crisis?"
"Is the world going to change? Isn't the world outside changing every day?"
Marvin was silent. Perhaps for the people in the cave, they were indifferent to what happened outside.
Fortunately, after talking to himself for a while, Conn finally got back to the point.
He looked Marvin up and down, and finally said:
"You don't know knife skills."
Ma Wen said respectfully: "Master, please give me some advice."
"What can you do?" Conn asked.
Marvin thought about it and said simply, "Kill someone."
Kang En laughed: "Okay. Very frank. I have a sword technique that is very suitable for people like you to practice."
"The name of this sword technique is [Desperate Situation]."
"Come with me."
