Chereads / The Merry Knight / Chapter 75 - A Melee

Chapter 75 - A Melee

"Roar!"

The five-clawed divine dragon roared in anger as it was surrounded by a sky full of dark thunder. Its tail flapped rapidly, creating five dragon tornadoes that carved a path in the sky, chasing after the Two-Headed Crow King.

"Ah…"

The five-clawed divine dragon was about to catch up to the Two-Headed Crow King. However, this was the boundary it guarded for the Tianlong City, and it couldn't leave its post without good reason.

The five-clawed divine dragon let out a long howl. How dare this little bug come to its territory and cause trouble! It would let the bug go this time, but if it dared to return, it would be crushed to pieces.

After chasing away the dark mage, the Two-Headed Crow King, the five-clawed divine dragon flew in the air for a while and then returned to the top of the sacrificial tower in the temple of the Tianlong City. After a golden light flashed, it disappeared into the tower, and the city returned to normal.

At this moment, the tens of millions of players in the Tianlong City stared at the sky in awe. It was completely silent, and even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard in this huge city.

"Ah… A divine beast!"

"Oh my god, I want the five-clawed divine dragon!"

For a full minute, the players were stunned before they erupted into frenzied screams. A group of irrational players rushed towards the sacrificial tower, but a shout finally made them realize what they could and could not do. They then scrambled to pick up the rare equipment dropped by the dark mage.

"Quickly, go pick up the rare equipment dropped by the dark mage!"

The shout finally made the foolish players sober, but they didn't know that the players from the big guilds had already gone to the edge of the city wall, heading towards the large crater left by the Two-Headed Crow King's attack.

Over a hundred rare equipment pieces dropped by the fifty dark mages killed by the five-clawed divine dragon were all scattered in the large crater. Whoever could find one would become rich.

"Stone, hurry!"

TianHuo LengHun urged me on as we rode quickly towards the location of the rare equipment. Although it was only a mile away, with so many players competing for the equipment, the equipment might not be enough for everyone. A second's delay could mean losing out, especially for rare equipment.

At this moment, the effect of the shortest distance between two points is fully reflected. Although the major factions on the city wall just jumped down and rushed towards the top-notch equipment, the three major mercenary groups, Fengyun, Purple Thunder, and Black Dragon, who are in the central position, are clearly ahead of the other factions.

I feel frustrated, extremely frustrated!

If only I could act alone, with my superb agility, skills, and equipment's mobility, no one in "King of Glory" could possibly be faster than me.

Although Tianhuo Lenghun beside me is riding a horse with a speed boost of 5, I can assure you that if I ran at full speed, my speed would be at least twice as fast as his. If it weren't for the fact that Tianhuo Lenghun knows my abnormality due to Cold Soul of the Fire God, I would definitely run at full speed and be the first to get the top-notch equipment.

"Ah, Hei Long is clearing the area."

"I f***ing can't believe it, Fengyun, why did you attack me?"

"Zi Lei, I'm f*****g done with you, get out of my way."

A series of howls broke out, and the leading factions split a portion of their players and began to clear the area. The chaotic battle began.

Those with grudges settle their scores, those with grievances air them, those without grudges create enmities, and those without grievances create resentments. Those who want to kill hurry up and do so, and those who don't want to kill must also kill. The fierce battle is exhilarating.

Fortunately, several leading figures of mine and Tianhuo's team are members of Tianhuo's group, so others cannot PK me. I ran towards the edge of the large pit where the Two-Headed Crow King was bombing.

In the huge pit, there are over a hundred pieces of top-notch equipment scattered about, with most of them being gold equipment, followed by some red ghostly aura and black fairy weapons. The dazzling light makes people go crazy.

What is that? All the top-notch equipment is shrouded in a black smoke, making a "sizzling" thunderous sound. Isn't this the "Corpse Explosion – Dark Sky Curtain" that the Two-Headed Crow King just used?

I perceive with my Insight skill.

Corpse Explosion – Dark Thunder Curtain: A new type of magic composed of Corpse Explosion – Dark Curtain and Dark Thunder of the Abyss. Its power is immense.

Corpse Explosion – Dark Curtain is one of the ten secret magics of the Demon race. It involves using corpses to cause a violent explosion that inflicts damage upon others. The resulting black smoke is highly toxic and can corrode flesh and blood, causing continuous bleeding. It also contains Dark Thunder of the Abyss, which can cause a violent explosion upon contact with people or objects. Those with weaker abilities should exercise caution.

Most of the Corpse Explosion – Dark Thunder Curtain launched by the Two-Headed Crow King remained in the air, obstructing the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon. However, some of the smoke and flesh from the explosion fell to the ground, covering the entire battlefield, including the valuable equipment.

"TianHuo LengHun, there seems to be something strange about this black smoke. Be careful."

Noticing that no other players had paid attention to this, I spoke up and warned TianHuo LengHun.

"What's the problem?"

TianHuo LengHun turned around to look at me with confusion, but slowed down his pace.

"Ah…"

"Ah…"

Suddenly, a mournful cry was heard. The FengYun Mercenary Group, located at the center, had several agile archers and assassins enter the black smoke.

But in an instant, their lives were depleted, and they were killed instantly.

"Everyone, be careful. The black smoke is toxic."

The major factions quickly steadied themselves and cautiously looked towards the valuable equipment in the dark smoke. At the same time, they guarded against other factions making a move. For a while, players from all major factions gathered at the edge of the pit, waiting for an opportunity to obtain the valuable equipment.

However, just as they were hesitating, a swarm of players rushed up from behind. The edge of the pit was suddenly crowded with players.

"Blood Bull squad, move out! Grab any equipment you see!"

Soon, each major faction deployed their knights with the highest defense and health, rushing towards the dark smoke.

"Darn, this is too powerful."

The knight's Blood Bull entered the dark smoke, but compared to the archers and assassins, they were not much stronger. After taking two steps forward, their lives quickly drained, and there was still a considerable distance between them and the valuable equipment.

"What should we do?"

The major factions were speechless.

Unfortunately! I lament silently within.

It's a pity that I used up my resurrection ring today. Otherwise, with my defense and HP, plus the three seconds of invincible defense provided by the ring, I should be able to enter the battleground and obtain one or two pieces of equipment.

"Ah, look! Flying Claw."

A savvy assassin tossed his Flying Claw at the top-notch equipment in the Dark Thunder Sky, hoping to grab it and strike it rich.

"Damn it! How dare you steal my equipment."

A fiery-eyed warrior was enraged by the assassin's clever tactic.

Well, isn't that provoking him?

If he can't get the equipment, no one else can either. He raised his sword and charged at the assassin.

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Ah!"

The loud noise quickly rang out as the assassin's Flying Claw was shattered by the dark thunder in the sky, and he became a ghost under the warrior's sword.

"Damn it, who dares to kill me? Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Damn it, who slashed my butt?"

"I'm poisoned. Does that big brother have an antidote?"

In an instant, the players became chaotic, and the relatively calm PK turned into a large-scale melee.

There were so many top-notch equipment in front of them, but they couldn't get their hands on them, so players felt frustrated. Finally, they found a way to vent their frustrations and started to fight each other fiercely.

Those with grudges sought revenge, those with grievances sought justice, those without grudges made enemies, and those without grievances held grudges. Those who wanted to kill people quickly did so, and those who didn't want to kill people also had to kill. The brutal fighting was satisfying.

In the midst of this chaos, I was pushed out and lost track of TianHuo LengHun.

Oh well, I might as well go back to the city. Judging from the appearance of the Dark Thunder Curtain, it won't be cleared for at least half an hour, and in five minutes, the system will delete these top-notch equipment. Staying here is useless.

A warrior with full force saw me in front of him, and with his eyes already red with blood, he swung his large axe at me without caring who I was.
