Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 253 Mysterious Date
"Thunder Chisel", the main artifact of the thunder magician profession, should be based on the weapon of the god Thunder in Chinese mythology and legends. It looks similar to the chisel used by ordinary craftsmen, with a flat head and a pointed tail, but its body is thicker and longer, about one foot long, as thick as a cup mouth, and its body is dark purple with a circle of colorful divine light, which shows its level of artifact. Afeng couldn't wait to ask about the functions of the "Thunder Chisel", which is the most important thing. After all, the main artifacts of weapons are also different, some are more focused on direct attacks, and some are more focused on auxiliary combat. The reason why they are set as main artifacts is that they have higher comprehensive capabilities than ordinary artifacts, and they are not limited to a specific range of action. In fact, from Xue Wuxia's smiling face, it can be seen that the properties and functions of the "Thunder Chisel" should make her very satisfied - releasing lightning as an attack method, it can not only shoot a beam of electricity to attack a single target, which is not only powerful, but also has a longer range, up to about 250 meters, far exceeding the effective attack distance of ordinary single magic, but also release a piece of electric net for range attack, the effective attack distance can reach up to about 150 meters, the direct damage it can cause is slightly weaker, but it comes with a strong electric shock paralysis effect. Moreover, the user can freely decide how much mental power to invest to activate the "Thunder Chisel" to launch an attack according to the needs of the war, with a minimum of 3% and a maximum of 10% each time, which is more convenient to use.
But then Xue Wuxia's expression changed from bright to gloomy, and she frowned deeply, which made A Feng hurriedly ask the reason, "What's wrong, Xuexue, isn't the attribute function of this 'Thunder Chisel' quite good? It is exactly the offensive weapon you want to get the most. Are you still not satisfied?"
Xue Wuxia sighed and smiled bitterly. "The system gave a special note at the end, saying that the 'Thunder Chisel' is not complete yet and is now in an 'unusable' state. It must obtain another part before it can be used."
"How could this happen? Didn't they say that as long as we complete the task, we will get the corresponding artifact reward? If we can't use it, what's the point of giving it to us? Isn't this just a joke?" Afeng was indignant and wanted to go directly to the authorities to complain.
"Forget it, it's useless. The system explained it very clearly. The 'Thunder God Chisel' already belongs to me, but I need to complete other professional tasks to get another part and assemble a set before I can officially 'drop blood to recognize the owner' and announce it to the world. And the relevant professional tasks will be assigned to me soon. If I can't complete them at once, I can continue to the next time until I successfully complete them and get another part. It will only delay some time at most. It is estimated that in such a large-scale event, the artifacts obtained by players will definitely not be three or two. In order to avoid too many artifacts emerging at once, the system has added this procedure to disperse the time of artifact announcements and avoid other problems. In fact, we should be grateful for such a result. Just now, we were about to exceed the twelve-hour time limit, and there were only twenty or thirty of us left. If we can't destroy the Tathagata's golden body, once it is restored to a good state, we will definitely have no hope. The following professional tasks only need me to complete them, which should not be too difficult. It is only a matter of time before we truly own the 'Thunder God Chisel'. What else is there to worry about?"
Another missing part of the "Thunder God Chisel" is a small hammer. A single chisel cannot shoot lightning. Like the Thunder God in mythology, a small hammer is needed as a trigger to hit the flat end of the chisel to shoot out an electric beam or electric grid from the pointed end. The system will come up with such complicated settings, fearing that it will affect the balance of the entire game. At the beginning, the main artifact "Dead Scepter" I got from the reward task of "Underground Maze - Skull Palace" was sealed several times, and finally I had to fight a battle with the clone of the Angel of God Michael. It was delayed for more than a year before it could be used, but I don't know how long Xue Wuxia will have to work on it.
The high-difficulty tasks that have the opportunity to obtain artifact rewards have all been completed one after another. "Tianxia" has not issued a single artifact announcement. It is definitely not the only lucky Xue Wuxia. It seems that other players who have obtained artifact rewards have encountered similar endings. The artifacts cannot be used immediately and need to go through some other procedures. According to the intelligence gathered from the investigation, in addition to Xue Wuxia, at least thirteen other players have also obtained artifact rewards and have obtained main artifacts or ordinary artifacts. The lucky player of the magic knight profession is Long Xingtianxia, who has the defensive main artifact "Blood Demon Armor". Desert Eagle also wanted the main artifact, but his luck was a little worse. He fought to the end, but his entire army was wiped out and he didn't even get a high-level holy artifact. Among the undead wizards, only Qiu Shui Changtian got an artifact. The lucky Knight of Light is our mortal enemy Hua Mantian. He invested a lot of money for this operation, recruited many people, and was determined to get the artifacts. He tried to revive the popularity that had fallen due to the fall of Huadu in order to maintain and improve his status in the Church of Light. The Priest of Light is Sheng Tiantang. I don't know if there was any agreement reached between the major forces within the light players. The Supreme Honor gave up the task of personally hosting the auction of the Knight of Light and supported Sheng Tiantang to bid for the most difficult task of the Priest of Light, helping Sheng Tiantang to become the player who holds two artifacts, and two main artifacts. In addition to the five artifacts occupied by the Church of Light and the Alliance of Resistance Forces, the other nine were obtained by neutral players. It seems that the professions that had not produced artifacts before did not fail. Perhaps Xue Wuxia took advantage of this and was lucky enough to succeed. Fortunately, those neutral players cannot participate in the ultimate battle between light and darkness, which will not have any direct impact on us.
Every team that tries to get their hands on the artifact has invested a lot of money. If they succeed, they will make money. If they fail, they will lose everything. Millions of gold will be gone in a short time. It can be said to be a high-risk gamble. The official also issued a warning that investment must be cautious, and the success rate is not high. From the perspective of effort and return, the risk is even greater than that of challenging the holy beast. However, facing the huge temptation of the artifact, many player teams who think they have a certain degree of competitiveness are unwilling to give up. As a result, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the hard work ends up in vain.
With the beginning and end of the auction task, the official "Tianxia" has launched a series of other celebration activities, giving the winners some other rewards, such as a certain increase in the success rate of signing a contract with a level 10 upper-level holy magic pet or magic pet, etc., the benefits are not rich, there are not many targets that need my help, the battle against the Tathagata Jinshen not only killed hundreds of black bone dragons, but also more than a hundred six-armed giant magicians summoned were also lost, which really made me sad, and I also needed to return to the "Dead Soul Space" to continue my search. During the initial period of promotion to the ninth-level profession, the undead wizard cannot subdue enough undead subordinates, and the strength will inevitably be affected to a certain extent, unable to fully exert, and will appear slightly weaker than other players of the same level of profession. For a top undead wizard like me, in order to maintain my status and reputation and not be too impacted, I must work harder. Undead wizards like Yeyou dared not delay any longer, and chose to sign dark attribute holy pets or tenth-level pets in the human world, which had a slower growth rate for undead wizards, for fear that they would be affected too much and their strength would be too far away from the top players of the light profession. In addition, they also strengthened their exploration in the "dead space" and tried hard to search for the traces of the tenth-level undead. Compared with me, the "world's number one undead wizard" who was used to being alone, they paid more attention to the advantages of the group, relying on the forces they had established to attract many undead wizards to help. With more people, the efficiency of the search would be much higher if the undead wizards personally presided over it, so they made considerable gains. Special types or tenth-level undead such as the Undead Ghost Phoenix, the Black Dragon King, and the Eight Extreme Yin Demons have already appeared in the organization of the undead wizards, which made me envy that there is indeed strength in numbers, and it is much more efficient than me who fights alone.
What worries me more is that according to the news sent to me by Qingwu Feiyang, some undead wizards have discovered the giant wizard population and successfully subdued them. In this way, the existence of the holy land "Karamay" is no longer a secret. Under my careful observation, I immediately found a lot of undead spies wandering around "Karamay". Everyone knows how important the giant wizard's ultra-long-range attack method is. No undead wizard will be willing to give up. They must want to subdue as many as possible. It seems that they are bound to face a fierce competition. Although I started early and mobilized a large number of black bone dragons to surround the area around the holy land "Karamay" layer by layer, and set up heavy defenses, it has become my actual sphere of influence. I can take tough measures to refuse the approach of foreign forces, but this will damage the interests of too many undead wizards, and I will stand on the opposite side of most undead wizards. The consequences may be quite serious. Fortunately, only a few undead wizards know about the existence of the holy land "Karamayi". Perhaps they have their own selfish motives, or perhaps it is due to other reasons. For the time being, there is no sign of a united invasion. However, I believe that once there is a direct conflict of interest and the "monster snatching" incident occurs, it is only a matter of time before it is made public. I must plan ahead and make preparations in advance to prevent other undead wizards from diluting my vested interests. I dare not say that I have a monopoly, but at least I have to strive to control most of the giant wizards in my hands. For this reason, I have readjusted the deployment of the area around the holy land "Karamayi" and sent more black bone dragons to monitor the front, not only to monitor other undead wizard players, but also to step up observation of the activities of the giant wizard population, and strive to find them before other undead wizards. At the same time, I have mobilized 500 black bone dragons as mobile forces to stay nearby. Once an abnormality is found, they can be dispatched at the fastest speed, and they must not be easily taken advantage of by other undead wizards.
Ibola and Wuma are still being released. I don't want to delay their development, so I haven't let them come out as bait to attract those hidden level 10 undead to chase them, so that I can take the opportunity to subdue them. Especially Ibola, next time he can evolve into the ultimate Destruction Knight of the top form. I don't have to worry about the evolution of the Destruction Knight. I can choose to sign a "pet contract" with him and subdue him as a pet. Naturally, the sooner he evolves, the better. Although Ibola's level will definitely surpass the upper level of level 10 and reach the level of a holy beast, which is beyond the normal contract scope of the "level 9 enhanced pet scroll", it has first signed a "soul contract" with me, which has weakened part of its mental resistance. It has been subdued for such a long time, which further strengthened its sense of identity with me. In addition, I have reached the basic mental power attribute of silver, so I am confident that I can successfully subdue him as a pet. It is definitely a great advantage to be able to summon undead subordinates at the level of holy beasts by consuming only 10% of the mental power, especially when fighting against masters. This is also a unique feature of us necromancers. It is quite difficult to find suitable undead pets in the "Dead Space", but there is a chance to subdue more powerful undead pets than the holy pets in the human world, which can be regarded as compensation for our spending more time and energy and taking the initiative. Top necromancers like me who have alternative targets are not greedy for temporary benefits and are eager to subdue holy pets in the human world. I hope to work hard and try to see if I can subdue more powerful undead pets in the "Dead Space". The vast and mysterious "Dead Space" hides many strange and bizarre undead races that have not been discovered by us. If we continue to develop, I believe there will be greater surprises waiting for us. Otherwise, the current strength can only meet the needs of several of our top or most powerful undead wizards, and it is difficult to compete with the large number of bright priests who can summon the tenth-level eight-winged holy angels.
On this day, I was busy taming the black bone dragons in the "Dragon Bone Mountain" - as the basic main combat force, a sufficient number of black bone dragons can still bring a relatively large deterrent to other undead wizards. In view of the increasingly complicated situation in the "Dead Space", most of the interests are concentrated in the Lost Continent, and there is always the possibility of internal disputes or even conflicts due to the ownership of interests. I have to make some preparations for it. Don't easily cause trouble, but never be afraid of trouble and tolerate others taking advantage of me. Suddenly I received a notice, which was directly transmitted to my consciousness in the form of spiritual connection. I couldn't help but receive it. I was asked to rush to the entrance of the "Yinfeng Valley" at midnight three days later. If I didn't arrive on time, I would bear the consequences. The wording was quite impolite, but it was not signed. I don't know who sent it, nor do I know what I was asked to do. This can't be a system announcement, nor can it be a text message from a player - this is in the "Dead Space", there is no direct connection with the system, and the Undead wizards do not have the ability to communicate over long distances. Even with the special equipment such as the "Corpse Crown" and "Blood Emperor Robe", they can only communicate with each other mentally. I can accurately sense who the other party is, and it is impossible to receive this message out of thin air. It's really strange, how could such a mysterious date appear? Undead wizard players can't have such great authority. Could it be that the NPC or even the dead old man arranged some weird tasks? Anyway, there is nothing urgent to solve now, it's just an extra trip and delay. I decided to go to the appointment on time to see who is doing what?
During this time, I returned to the human world and learned that this matter had spread in the circle. It was not just me. Many undead wizards also received the same notice in the "Dead Space". They gathered at the entrance of the "Yinfeng Valley" at midnight three days later. Although no one knew what the specific matter was, it seemed that the undead wizards who received the notice all had ghost royals or demon kings as their subordinates, which should be related to the "Yinfeng Valley". The Devouring Ghost Clan itself does not have too strong abilities. The most important thing for us undead wizards is the ability of "instant movement" given by the alienated demon spirits. It is what every undead wizard hopes to have, and there must be no mistakes. Therefore, there were many discussions and many different opinions. I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse, but there is no room for retreat in the interests. The undead wizards who received the notice basically decided to go to the appointment on time, avoid disasters, act according to the situation, and avoid disasters.
I continued to subdue the black bone dragons in "Dragon Bone Mountain", and when I saw that the time was almost up, I set out to rush to "Dark Wind Valley" to keep the appointment. Because I didn't know who the other party was and what his purpose was, judging by his tone, and coupled with my long-standing concerns about the situation in "Dark Wind Valley", I had a vague foreboding that it seemed that the possibility of something bad was greater, so for the sake of safety, I brought 500 black bone dragons with me for protection, so that in case of any emergency, I would be able to fight back.
When we arrived at the entrance of the "Valley of the Dark Wind", there were already many undead wizards gathered here. They were very cautious. No one came alone. They all brought a group of bone dragons as bodyguards and were divided into several major forces. The Southeast Undead Alliance, the Northeast Undead Alliance, and several small and medium-sized alliances formed by top undead wizards such as Night Tour were clearly divided from each other. Recently, there have been many disputes due to "stealing monsters" and occupying spheres of influence. It was very unpleasant, and the relationship was getting more and more tense. There was a trend of expansion and escalation at any time. Although I was actually a "lone ranger", I still belonged to the Northeast Undead Alliance in name and joined their camp. Five hundred fine black bone dragons accompanied me, which was the strongest. I immediately curbed the arrogance of the Southeast Undead Alliance, which had an advantage in numbers, and restrained it a little. I dared not to show off my power near the gathering place of our Northeast Undead Alliance.
