Chapter 650 Monster Hunter + Soul Sacrifice, Is it worth it?
【Ancient Dragon Catastrophe: A special species at the top of the ecosystem, it is the embodiment of natural phenomena and is almost unrestricted by other species. Wherever it goes, natural disasters will occur. It can easily change the ecosystem along its path. Its every move will have a great impact on the world, and the way humans interact with ancient dragons may determine the future.

Recently, several Elder Dragons have exhibited unusual behavior, impacting the surrounding ecosystem. In response, the Hunter's Guild has issued a series of special investigation missions. Players who are members of the investigation team can selectively accept these missions at the Hunter's Guild headquarters, "Starry Sky." Some of these missions have certain entry requirements.

【Evil Sacrifice: A mysterious force invaded the ley lines, affecting the entire New World and granting all humans and dragons a powerful yet evil power called "Sacrifice." This led to the development of a new class system called "Mage" within the existing "Hunter" class system. However, because the power manifested in such an evil way, it caused a split within the human community, with the "Purification Faction" opposing sacrifice and protecting the ecosystem, and the "Corruption Faction" pursuing power and eliminating the source.

Players will not be able to use skills, equipment, or items from the modern and futuristic technology sides.

All players entering the instance for the first time will receive the temporary skill "Redemption and Sacrifice" in a specific area. Please explore the specific effects after entering the instance.

Players can choose their faction path based on their needs, or remain neutral and simply exist as a foreign hunter. However, their actions in dungeons will also affect their human faction affiliation, thus impacting their interpersonal relationships.

Monster Hunter: World... and Soul Sacrifice!
Without any doubt, Cheng Tian immediately identified the two games in his mind.

The Ancient Dragon Catastrophe corresponds to Monster Hunter, while Starry Sky Stronghold basically limits the dungeon blueprint to "The World".

Monster Hunter has a large number of dungeons compared to other games in the game, given the sheer number of titles and the quality of its content. It also features a built-in guild quest system that is very appealing to players. Furthermore, it is a major source of equipment and is a well-known game among players.

However, the soul sacrifice corresponding to the evil sacrifice was indeed far beyond Cheng Tian's expectations.

The game developer actually remembers this game? And they even included it in Monster Hunter? This deserves a five-star rating!

Monster Hunter is undoubtedly a great work that pioneered the co-op game genre, and World and the Iceborne DLC are the Monster Hunter games that Cheng Tian has played the longest to date, so he is relatively familiar with them.

As a newer title in the same genre, Soul Sacrifice is obviously less well-known, probably even less so than Toukiden and God Eater.

Of course, its main reason is the limitation of the release platform, because it is a game exclusive to the PS Vita handheld platform.

Clearly, the PS Vita failed to replicate the success of the PSP, which resulted in Soul Sacrifice, a very unique co-op game that didn't simply replicate the success of its predecessor, ultimately being buried and receiving very little attention.

After suppressing his surprise, Cheng Tian began to carefully study the two entries.

The entry for "Ancient Dragon Catastrophe" seems to be in its original form, with no changes yet revealed. However, the impact of "Evil Sacrifice" on the dungeon setting is much greater.

Based on the descriptions, the instance itself is set in the Monster Hunter world, while Soul Sacrifice is integrated into that world as a new source of power and a class system. It is not yet clear whether the "monsters" in the Soul Sacrifice world have also joined in, or whether they exist in the form of rule fusion.

Humanity has completely added a new magic system, and even split into two factions. Therefore, Cheng Tian believes that dragons, or even ancient dragons, have a very high probability of having mastered the same power.

However, on another note, we just acquired a Martian combat fortress capable of traversing planets, and now the next main quest puts us in a place where we can't use any technological equipment. Well, considering it involved stitching together soul sacrifices, I won't complain.
While the five special genes in the Dinosaur King world are all quite good, they pale in comparison to the diversity of the Monster Hunter world. They are only worth collecting materials for.

And speaking of materials...

Cheng Tian paused for a moment, then looked at the entries related to soul sacrifice.

Based on the current logic, it's likely that dragon beast materials in this world will also assume or completely replace the "offering" function in soul sacrifice.

In other words, these sacrificial magical abilities are probably also aligning with the Monster Hunter universe!

Thinking of this, Cheng Tian became visibly excited and had a clear target for material reserves: repair tools for limbs and organs.

Better safe than sorry, you never know! Maybe I'll need to unleash the Tanaka Spinal Cord Sword myself!
With anticipation for the new instance, Cheng Tian also adjusted himself and his teammates to their best physical and mental state during the last 24 hours of standby.

Meanwhile, in the waiting area, players wearing the bright white "Sun Legion Private" title could occasionally be seen.

These are the players who joined the Sun Legion through additional trial missions.

Many players are taking a wait-and-see approach to the emergence of the Sun Legion. After all, no matter how tempting the rules are, it is essentially a faction established by other players, which means there may be a lot of changes, and it is normal for promises not to be kept.

But with such a large player base, there will always be those who try to be the first to try something new.

After undergoing personalized combat power tests and faction preference trials with the help of the Chosen Space, these individuals successfully joined the faction and have already begun to receive some faction-exclusive benefits.

For example, with only the lowest rank of private, one can directly purchase standard firearms belonging to the Gates Military Industry Group in the Metal Slug world through the Lieyang Legion's channels!

Vehicles are not yet available, but conventional firearms such as heavy machine guns can be purchased in unlimited quantities.

The second benefit, however, clearly has a strong Sunfire Legion style—

That means you can hire the Sun Legion's exclusive units to fight for you.
