Chapter 178 - Chapter 178 Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool

Chapter 178: Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool Graduation_2 Chapter 178: Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool Graduation_2 Hahaha! I’ve thought of a name for you guys, Artillery Emperor! Right, time is of the essence, on to the next training target!

…

At the Pool of Radiance, another burst of flames, the speed at which a section of the city wall is restored simply can’t keep up with the rate it’s being destroyed, and it finally collapses, leaving a breach. Deirdre flashes with golden light and levels up again. The Hellish Alliance Army cheers, while the players from Star Guild in the China Region look dejected and anxious, with a barrage of curses flooding the World Channel. Of course, they’re not cursing Star Guild; they’re cursing the “cheaters and hackers” from the American Zone, after all, Star Guild has turned in a failing yet somewhat accountable answer sheet.

At this moment, in the command center of the Elf Kingdom, all the NPCs are anxious, waiting for the return of the Super Hero, but the Super Hero is nowhere to be seen. The Great Elder bites his lip so hard it bleeds, his eyes bloodshot with rage as he stares at the map.

Even the NPCs can no longer control the situation and may have to consider their last resort. Eternal Star holds a command meeting, preparing to plan one final, tragic and heroic last stand, an essential effort for Star to end their performance with an epic finale. Of course, it would be perfect if the Super Hero could save the day at the last critical moment or even turn defeat into victory.

At this hour, on the densely populated Lake Island, Invincible Soldier, Invincible Wei, and a few newly recruited computer science guys are feeling downcast and remain silent.

This battle not only cost them their kill count, but they also lost the scant Gold Coins they had to enemy PKs, and their merits exchanged for Druids went down the drain. Now, bereft of money and merit, these college entrepreneurs face their first setback.

Finally, unable to bear the silence, Da Wei asks, “What do we do next? We’re not really going to pick up trash, are we?”

Da Bing clears his throat and says, “After we get out, let’s group up and grind some basic-level instances for a few days, then save up to buy a medium-sized boat with a 100-cabin capacity. We’ll take turns running merchant voyages and slowly expand our business.”

The few computer science guys immediately protest, “What’s the fun in that? Boring. Count us out!”

Da Bing urgently replies, “Come on, we’re not just playing, we’re building a business!”

“Enough, enough, what business! We’re just playing games, not planning to make money from them. Anyway, once we’re out, we’re going to level up, not accompany you on your wild antics.”

Da Bing, frustrated, says, “Why are you guys like this! You all agreed when you came!”

Da Wei waves it off, “Let it go, let it go, to each their own! We didn’t do well, can’t blame everyone.”

Da Bing angrily retorts, “What do you mean we didn’t do well? It’s clearly the Americans’ fault–forget it, just treat it like buying junk stocks and chalk it up to bad luck!”

Once again, the group falls into a disheartened silence. The newly formed college entrepreneurship team faces dissolution after their setback.

Another cannon blast outside the city, another section of wall collapses, causing a stir among the people on the island once again. And at this moment, the channel comes alive.

—-Battle Channel [Uranus]: I’m sorry everyone, I’m Uranus from Star Guild. First, I want to apologize to everyone. We were unable to lead the China Region to defeat the Hell Zone. As the person in charge of the war zone, it’s my fault. Now, we might not have any hope of turning the tables, but we won’t just sit here waiting to be slaughtered. At the very least, we can do one last thing, and that’s to take down the NPC hero leading their siege. That hero only has one life, and foreign zones are all looking to hire her away from us. We absolutely cannot let them have her cheap! Our entire Star Guild’s remaining forces will spare no expense in sacrifice to take her down. Those willing to join, let’s go!

Immediately the whole island roars: “Let’s do it! Take her down!” “We can’t let the foreign zones win!”

—-Battle Channel [Uranus]: Thank you, everyone! Please everyone stay calm and wait, our main force will charge to the front to carve a bloody path for you all, we’re counting on you!

The World Channel explodes with excitement again!

…

At the Abyss Blood Pool, the last outer defense of Spider Demon Island, the Flying is heading in the opposite direction, no doubt shaking them off far across the map. It’s uncertain if the pleas for help from Spider Demon Island can still be heard by them.

However, just to be safe, the old lady decides to create an illusion. The old lady has just used Magic Coordination, so now it’s up to Selvia to cast it. It’s great to have an apprentice!

The old lady called Selvia over with a chuckling sigh, “One cannot defy old age. After this battle, I can no longer push myself. I must preserve my mana to return home. From now on, it’s up to you young people.”

Ah, the old lady really can’t do it anymore. Da Fei hurriedly said, “Teacher, please don’t force yourself! If it’s really not possible, we’ll return now.” Alright, I admit, I’ve been too hypocritical. This journey has indeed worn her out quite badly.

The old lady chuckled and sighed, “It doesn’t matter for me, but I cannot delay the future of you young people. The ship is good, it must be protected!”

Da Fei laughed, “Teacher, rest assured, it will definitely be protected.”

The old lady nodded, “Then let’s begin!”

The same tactic was about to be unleashed. Although it wasn’t novel, the tried and tested battle strategy is the mature and reliable one. The difference was that the firepower of Da Fei’s artillerymen was significantly greater this time. As the BOSS was once again lured into decapitation, these artillerymen emerged as the regular troops, enhancing the output of firepower.

There was no suspense! With the Spider Demon Nest’s scream, the final message flooded the screen!

—-System Prompt: You have destroyed the Demon Nest, gaining 60,000 Experience. Fame +100. You have obtained a large spoils of war, golden spider silk.

—-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have defeated the Spider Demon Worm Nest trial guardian hero, achieving victory in the battle. You have gained 840,000 Experience. Your Hate Value among the Spider Demon clan is +10,000.

—-System Prompt: You have achieved the “11th Battlefield Victory” accomplishment. Extra reward Command Power +10. You have achieved the “5th Glorious Battlefield Victory” accomplishment, additional reward Command Power +20, Hero Life +20.

Is that all? Da Fei anxiously waited for more!

Sure enough, a cold fog appeared laughing maniacally in front of Da Fei: “You did not disappoint me–”

Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief. At last, there it was, you didn’t disappoint me either! What am I going through all these dangers for, if not for you? Hurry up with that permanent position!

The cold fog continued, “I am Taranna, perhaps an unwelcome name, but no matter. You have inherited my hatred will, and to achieve this is sufficient proof of my genius and greatness. If you are interested in making achievements as a Ranger, you may go to my homeland Oranto. You have redeemed me. You are the first one worthy of my gratitude. Thank you, and may my hatred will aid you in slaying enemies far and wide! Farewell!”

The fog dissipated.

—-System Prompt: You have completed the “Tree Elf Resentment” quest, and you are now a Basic-level Ranger!

—-Task Hint: You have acquired information about Taranna.

Da Fei exhaled deeply, Not bad, turning a human into a Ranger, you are truly great! I truly admire you, and will visit your hometown when I get the chance. Now I have no more regrets, and have finally graduated from the Abyss Blood Pool.

Enough talk, time to resurrect the troops and get out!

Now, the Teleportation Array on the deck of the Flying flickered with light, the old lady sweating profusely as she supported it with her last bit of strength! Da Fei, seeing this, broke out in a cold sweat. Old lady, I know, you must be scaring me! If an NPC says it’s possible, then it is, right?

The screen flashed a red alarm light, the Blood Pool patrols were late again! Their arrival was like a shot of adrenaline; the old lady shouted loudly, and with a flash of white light, the massive body of the Flying disappeared! Da Fei’s vision blurred, the scene shifted!

—-Boom! A huge splash of water echoed, and there was the familiar Pool of Radiance! Oh yeah! Brother’s graduated and returned!
