Chapter 788: Red King Exposed
[Third successful theft.]
[Saint Hand attempts used up today: 0/3]
[Ms. Mi · Held Item · Half Light Orb]
Xia Feng, delighted, exclaimed, “!”
It worked!
However, he didn’t check further. Instead, he followed the force of his backward momentum, accelerating his turn and continuing to run! Although Ms. Mi might not realize it was him, it was better to be safe and distance himself from the Ghost Bride and the reincarnation of the Asura King.
He ran for a full two hours. Xia Feng finally realized he had left the Endless Desert and entered a gray forest. Only then did he stop to catch his breath. At the same time, he began to check his spoils.
The light orb dissipated, and a black card and five fiery red stones landed in his palm.
[Congratulations on obtaining ‘Special Card · Black King Scout Card * 1’]
[Congratulations on obtaining Ash Stone * 5]
[Current Ash Stones: 9]
[Black King Scout Card: Upon using this card, if a ‘Black King’ exists within 100,000 kilometers, a pillar of light will shoot up into the sky. If you choose not to use this card, you can exchange it for 5 Ash Stones after the second round begins.]
Heh heh~ The harvest was not bad. Xia Feng’s lips curved upwards, and his mood was joyful. This meant he had effectively gained 10 Ash Stones, although the remaining 5 would only be realized in the next round.
But even so, he couldn’t let his guard down. Xia Feng raised his head and looked into the distance. According to the information released by the Red King, there were a total of two Black King Scout Cards. One was in the Endless Desert, and the other was in the Blood Thunder Heavenly Sea. The locations of these two places were like the South Pole and the North Pole, incredibly far apart. He was lucky to have stolen the card in the Endless Desert, but obtaining the one in the Blood Thunder Heavenly Sea was likely almost impossible.
Troublesome.
While Xia Feng was both happy and worried, Ms. Mi in the Endless Desert was filled only with sorrow and gnashing teeth! Ms. Mi could feel that the enemy’s mental power was extremely strong, at least at the level of a Light Holder! Only such powerful mental power could use rule-based abilities to get close to her, making it difficult for even a Sacred Realm expert like her to defend. Among the Nine Seats, the only one who had fallen from Light Holder to Peak Sacred Realm was that old thing, the Black Moon Pope!
“The Black Moon Pope…” The Ghost Bride’s delicate chin lifted, and she gazed at the distant gray sky. Her eyes, hidden beneath the holy white veil, seemed to surge with immense malice, her red lips forming a twisted, venomous arc. “Old undying, daring to provoke me, heh heh~”
Whoosh~ Whoosh~~ The desert wind blew strongly, her qipao fluttering. Ms. Mi felt a chill from below, and her hateful words faltered. This time, she had truly failed to snatch the chicken and ended up losing the rice. The Blazing Sun Card was snatched by the Birdman, and the Black King Scout Card and 5 Ash Stones were taken by the Black Moon Pope, who also took advantage of her misfortune! It was utterly disgusting! If she didn’t cause some trouble for that old thing, she wouldn’t be named Mi!
“Today is a good day, and all my wishes will come true~” Xia Feng hummed a cheerful tune as he strolled through the dim forest. Soon, he found a cave and sat down to recover from his injuries. Zong Yue’s kick, imbued with some kind of martial arts spirit robe, was incredibly powerful. It had nearly crippled this clone of his, which was absolutely outrageous.
Because of this, Xia Feng, after careful consideration, controlled his main body, which was in the Sea of Calamity Mist, to commit suicide once more, creating a second Undead Knight clone and quietly making its way over. If this clone (Number 1) died now, clone Number 2 could continue to act as the Spade Person.
[Notice— A player has already gathered 50 Ash Stones! The location of the Red King Exposure Card has been revealed—]
At this moment, information flashed in his mind, making Xia Feng’s expression turn solemn. “Wait, my friend? That fast?” He had thought his speed in collecting Ash Stones was not slow, but he hadn’t expected that while he only had 9, someone already had 50. According to the rules, when someone gathered 50, the location of the Red King Exposure Card would be automatically announced to all players.
Xia Feng glanced at the map. The Blood Thunder Heavenly Sea region lit up with a red dot, above which floated a card, flickering intermittently. It turned out to be in the same area as the Black King Scout Card. At this distance, Xia Feng estimated it would take him a full week of full-speed travel to arrive. Luckily, the location of the Red King Exposure Card was precisely pinpointed, whereas the Black King Scout Card only mentioned it was in the Blood Thunder Heavenly Sea.
It was still the Red King’s dangerous period. It was presumed that this hidden entity was extremely anxious and was rushing towards the Blood Thunder Heavenly Sea, attempting to destroy the card before everyone else.
Xia Feng sat in the cave for about half an hour.
[A player has successfully used the ‘Red King Exposure Card’, the Red King’s approximate location is now being announced to all players— Unsinkable Sea Area!]
[Exposure time remaining: 3 hours]
The Red King failed? Xia Feng was surprised. Also, these people were truly fast. He was currently in the ‘Gray Forest’, right next to the Unsinkable Sea Area, not too far from the Red King.
!
However, Xia Feng did not act immediately. He continued to sit and recover from his injuries. Two hours later.
[A second player has gathered 50 Ash Stones, the Beginner Airdrop has landed—]
Xia Feng was completely amazed. He had only rested for a short while, and these Sacred Realm powerhouses had rapidly advanced the game’s progress. Their efficiency was truly high. How were they collecting Ash Stones? The so-called Beginner Airdrop was an [Open Ash Land]. It did not require two people to open; one person could take all the good items inside. However, the condition was that it required time to break through the formation outside the Ash Land. Furthermore, there were only two Beginner Airdrop points, which would land near the two players with the fewest Ash Stones.
“Boom—!”
Thunder boomed, and Xia Feng quickly got up and walked out of the cave. In the distant, dark clouds, aurora faintly shot out from the clouds, like a small electric snake descending rapidly. Xia Feng’s eyesight was very far, but he could still only see a faint little snake. This indicated that the Beginner Airdrop point was still some distance away from him; he was not the player with the fewest Ash Stones.
But… this did not prevent him from competing for it. The Beginner Airdrop contained “five Level 0 item cards and three Level 1 item cards,” which was quite generous. After all, even a Level 1 Ash Land only had a chance of containing [Level 1 Item Cards]. Therefore, if converted, it would take opening ten or even twenty Level 1 Ash Lands to possibly obtain so many item cards! This rule was purely a welfare for the players lagging behind in Ash Stones. Of course, the prerequisite was that the lagging player acted quickly enough to successfully obtain the airdrop resources.
After recovering from his injuries, Xia Feng did not hesitate and rushed towards the direction where the lightning appeared. However, what surprised Xia Feng was that the direction of the lightning seemed to be heading towards the ‘Unsinkable Sea Area’. The Red King was also there?! Strange… Could it be that the Red King had the lowest Ash Stone count? This shouldn’t be the case, Xia Feng pondered with doubt. Or perhaps, the Red King deliberately made his Ash Stone count the lowest to easily obtain the Beginner Airdrop resources?
