Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 254: Three Heroes Fighting a Bad Omen

Miracle City Adventurers are at the border.

It's only been two days so far.

However, because there are so many adventurers and their exploration directions are different, the dispersion range is very wide and the exploration efficiency is also very high.

Adventurers can be seen in major areas of Nimgfu, such as near the city of Stonewell, near Lake Yakir, and even on the Weeping Peninsula.

The adventurers discovered many hidden areas and monsters, and also encountered powerful bosses such as the flying dragon Yakir, the falling star beast, and the lion hybrid.

However, these powerful enemies can be fought or not, but the evil demon "Markit" is a boss related to the main storyline.

At this moment, in front of the majestic and magnificent city of Stonewell, there was a battlefield full of broken soldiers and piles of corpses.

Two figures, one big and one small, confronted each other. Mengbai already felt the terrifying power of the enemy in front of him.

According to the illustrations, it is not difficult to know that the Evil Omen Demon is a rare three-level five-star unit, and is definitely the strongest existence encountered in the border area so far.

Meng Bai asked, "Hey, we're not celebrating a festival, why are you stopping me?"

The ominous demon sneered, "I'm not targeting anyone. My duty is to maintain order in the border area and never allow the fire of ambition to threaten the Golden Tree!"

Mengbai was confused: "But order has collapsed. Only a new King of Elden can save this land."

Ominous Demon: "Foolish Faded Ones, what you have done will constitute the ultimate blasphemy and great sin. The meaning of my existence is to uphold the Golden Rule and will never let you succeed!"

Mengbai didn't quite understand.

This old man wants to protect the golden tree? What does this have to do with whether we become the King of Elden?

Could it be that the Faded One, who becomes the King of Eldon, could change the Golden Law and become a threat to the Golden Tree?
But then again.

This old thing looks like a bad omen. According to the descriptions of other faded ones, the bad omen is clearly the misfortune of not being blessed by the golden tree.

Why would an ominous person who has been abandoned by the Golden Rule stand up to defend the Golden Rule?
This guy is so weird!
The evil demon Markit had no intention of continuing the chat, and a powerful and cold murderous aura burst out from his body.

next moment.

Markit exerted force with his legs, leaped up more than ten meters high, and flew dozens of meters away. In his left hand, a giant golden light hammer condensed and smashed down towards him.

"So fast!"

Mengbai didn't expect Market's speed to be so amazing. She quickly dodged and rolled to avoid the attack.

boom!
There was a loud bang.

The whole earth shook.

The golden light hammer smashed a big hole in the ground and then dissipated, but the attack was not over.

Markit raised his hand and fired several flying knives made of golden energy.

Each flying knife is made of pure energy, and its speed is comparable to that of a bullet.

Mengbai quickly raised her shield to block it. She only felt the continuous lightning strikes and her entire arm became numb.

Without waiting to catch your breath.

Market flashed over.

The long black staff in his right hand was like a great sword, launching a torrential downpour of attacks from all directions.

His swordsmanship is extremely strange and tricky, and the speed, strength and angle of each sword strike are unpredictable.

Mengbai could only hold out for a few rounds before he misjudged the speed of the sword and had his shield chopped off by Markit's sword.

"not good!"

Mengbai wanted to dodge but it was too late. A sharp blow fell on his body and instantly swept him ten meters away.

next moment.

A golden flying knife followed.

Mengbai was completely unable to dodge or defend, and didn't even have the chance to use the red dew drops. The flying knife pierced through his shattered breastplate on the spot.

【Challenge failed! 】

Mengbai died immediately and exited the secret realm.

The adventurers all looked at each other in shock when they saw this. Mengbai's strength and ability were still quite good.

"Amazing!"

"This weirdo's strength is probably not much inferior to that of the Ashina Sword Saint!"

"Even Boss Mengbai could only last a few rounds. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have a chance at all!"

"..."

Mengbai realized the gap in strength between the two sides, but she was obviously unwilling to accept the defeat.

Not this time!

Again!
Mengbai challenges again.

She appeared before the Miracle Blessing.

Although you can start the battle directly without running around, the battle and battlefield are completely reset.

Markit will have no memory of the last battle and will be in full strength every time he appears. There is no room for trickery and you can only pass this area by defeating him with strength and means.

This time Mengbai learned his lesson and immediately took out the summoning bell to summon three wolves, and used consumables to enhance the status of himself and his equipment.

Mengbai thought that the harassment of the wild wolf ashes would attract attention. Even if he couldn't win this time, he could hold on longer and further understand the moves and abilities of the evil omen demon!
Start the battle again.

The idea is beautiful but the result is cruel.

The strength and difficulty of the evil omen demon are beyond imagination.

Not only is he very flexible and possesses a variety of combat skills, his swordsmanship is also extremely tricky and strange.

Even with the help of three spirit wolves this time, the result was not much better, because these spirits could not last more than two rounds in front of the evil demon's light hammer and light sword.

In the end, Mengbai was defeated in just a few hits by the evil omen demon's double attack of the stone staff in his right hand and the light sword in his left hand.

The third time, death!
The fourth time, death!
The fifth time, death!
The sixth time, death!
He was defeated six times in succession.

Being in public is like being tortured.

No matter how he switches tactics or changes his fighting style, the final result is the same. Mengbai can't even touch the edge of the evil omen demon's clothes, let alone win the battle.

"hateful!"

"The disparity in strength is too great!"

"This enemy is not something I can defeat right now!"

Although Mengbai is a very stubborn person, he has not made any progress after fighting so many battles.

She couldn't help but feel that her Taoism was damaged and she was quite depressed. If she continued to fight like this eight or ten times, the result would probably not be much better. She couldn't just fight like this mindlessly!
How to do?
There are only two ways!

Or, don't fight the Evil Omen Demon yet and go level up. Anyway, this battle will be frozen by the Miracle Blessing, and you can come back and continue fighting no matter how long you are away.

You can either ask for help, you can form a team of adventurers from Miracle City, or you can ask the local faded people in the border area for help.

"Roger will definitely help me. If I can convince Bernal to join me, we'll probably win if we fight three against one!"

Mengbai thought so.

Combat Master Bernal is a very strong fader.

He possesses a powerful combat capability above level three, and he looks like a knight who has experienced many battles.

If it were him, he should be able to withstand the frontal attack of the evil demon, but the problem is that Bernal is very depressed for some reason. Now he would rather stay in the broken house and teach other faded ones fighting skills than take action.

As for Roger? Meng Bai believed that Roger would definitely help him. He was a very reliable adventurer.

Although Roger has the strength of a second-level five-star, the gap between him and the evil demon is still too big.

It's still too difficult to rely on just two people!

Mengbai felt that there were still many plots and tasks that could be explored about Roger, and he himself was a faded person with good character. It would be a pity if he died in this place.

That being the case.

If you want to continue the challenge.

Then the only way is to activate the team mode and gather more adventurers to fight against the evil demons together!

This battle can involve a maximum of two people, which means that up to three Miracle City adventurers can join forces.

Mengbai then waited patiently.

About an hour later, two adventurers arrived, both of whom were no ordinary people.

One is the red spider lily!
One is Mr. Baihe!

The two successfully reached the boss battle location, and they both tried to challenge the evil omen demon Markit once or twice.

no doubt.

Both were abused!

Although both of them have at least the second-level, two-star foundation, the gap compared to the third-level, five-star Markit is too big!

There is no better choice!

If you want to advance the plot, you must join forces!
After learning about this, the other adventurers in Miracle City were all very excited and started to cheer.

In the end, Mengbai, Higanbana, and Baihe Jushi decided to join forces after some discussion!
It’s very simple to start a team.

The three adventurers activated the Miracle Blessing at the same time to match each other, and then appeared at the same intersection.

【Successful match! 】

【Higanbana joins the team! 】

【Mr. Baihe joins the team! 】

【…】

[Under this mode, all adventurers cannot leave the restricted area, otherwise they will automatically exit the team mode! ]

Mengbai saw two golden lights appearing around him, and when the light gradually condensed, two faded figures appeared.

Among them, Higanbana plays an astronomer holding a meteorite wand.

As for Mr. Baihe, his initial identity was a warrior, and at this moment he was holding a huge sword with an extremely exaggerated shape.

It looks like a giant sword fused with dozens or even hundreds of swords. Its style is rough and ferocious, and it looks more like a blunt weapon than a sword.

Mengbai: "What kind of weapon is this?"

Baihe Jushi: "This is a powerful third-level rare weapon that I just found in the 'Moen's Tomb of Sorrow' in the deepest part of Moen City!"

The city of Morn is located on the Weeping Peninsula.

This is an area that can be explored early on.

This is also a place that fully exposes the darkness, bloodiness and cruelty of the Golden Dynasty.

Before the establishment of the Golden Tree Dynasty, there were many hybrids living in the border areas. The so-called hybrids were humanoid creatures with features such as horns, feathers, scales, and tumors on their bodies.

Hybrids and ominous signs are clearly influenced by the ancient crucible of life, and are characteristics of the undifferentiated life forms of this world in ancient times.

These furnace forms were symbols of nobility in ancient times, but they were a blasphemy in the Golden Tree Age.

Because of this, the Golden Tree Dynasty was filled with discrimination, massacre and oppression against hybrids from the very beginning.

These races were driven from all over the border areas to the Weeping Peninsula. From then on, the Golden Tree Dynasty tampered with historical memory, turning the hybrids into naturally lowly slaves.

The hybrids' resistance has never stopped, and their base is the Weeping Peninsula.

But before this, the Golden Tree Dynasty was powerful, and with the help of the City of Morn, it was able to suppress the entire Weeping Peninsula and make the hybrids cheap slaves of the Golden Tree Dynasty.

After the magic ring was broken.

The Golden Tree Dynasty was severely damaged.

The city of Moren was no longer able to suppress the hybrids, and when the Faded Ones arrived there, they happened to encounter a hybrid uprising.

For the hybrids, this is a war of resistance for freedom, dignity and revenge, but for humans it is an extremely bloody and cruel massacre.

The entire city of Moren turned into a hell on earth, with corpses piled up everywhere. Even the kind-hearted daughter of the Lord of Moren was killed by the hybrids.

Mr. Baihe has already been working through the plot related to Moren City and understanding the grievances and entanglements between humans and hybrids.

He witnessed the dirty and evil side of the Golden Tree, and was also shocked by the racial struggles, defense and revenge under different standpoints.

The plot of Weeping Peninsula, although unrelated to the main plot, is quite profound and thought-provoking.

Whether from a human perspective or a hybrid perspective, if you carefully understand and expand on it, you can dig out many stories and probably write a book.

Of course, it is quite difficult to get through the Weeping Peninsula at this stage. Dozens or hundreds of adventurers have explored it, but only Baihe Jushi has succeeded so far.

For a while.

Mengbai's confidence increased greatly.

She discovered that whether it was the White Crane Monk holding the sword skeleton sword or the Red Spider Flower holding the meteorite staff, both were obviously much stronger than herself.

"Sure enough, I'm still inexperienced and am already falling behind!"

but it does not matter.

The current lag is not much.

Mengbai decided to concentrate his strength on dealing with the evil omen demon first, and it would not be too late to catch up after defeating the evil omen demon!

The three of them immediately discussed tactics.

Meng Bai said, "I've fought the evil omen demon many times. The most troublesome thing about this guy, besides a few powerful skills, is undoubtedly his strange swordsmanship that is difficult to tell the speed of!"

Baihe Jushi nodded. "Indeed, I suggest that we two hold her head on, so that Higanbana can focus on her output. Her rock balls are very powerful."

Meng Bai had no objection: "Well, let's try it first!"

Three people entered the battlefield.

In this team mode, local units cannot be used, including not only local faders but also summoning bells.

It doesn't matter!
With the three of them working together.

The overall strength has increased significantly!

This undoubtedly made the other adventurers very excited, and the area around the three people's crystal was already surrounded by onlookers.

"Good!" "Three heroes fight against an ominous sign!"

“This one is so cool!”

"I didn't expect that even the leader of the Higanbana team and the old dean of the White Crane team would cooperate."

"With so many big guys around, I think this one is a sure win!"

"Come on, big guys!"

"..."

The three adventurers entered the battlefield and immediately formed a formation. Mengbai held a sword and shield in front, and Baihe Jushi followed closely behind with a sword skeleton.

Higanbana stood the farthest away, holding a meteorite staff in one hand and a dagger in the other, keeping a distance from the two.

Unsurprisingly.

The ominous demon Markit appears.

His figure first appeared on the tower outside Stonewell in a flash of light, and then he leaped and landed in front of the three adventurers.

The battle officially begins!
The evil demon swung out several golden flying knives, and then rushed forward at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its body size and faster than a supercar.

He swung the stone staff in his right hand and chopped it down on the head.

boom!
Mengbai used his shield to block the attack, but failed to absorb the force, and was knocked back several meters on the spot.

Markit grabbed the air with his left hand and unexpectedly conjured up a four-foot-long golden sword of light, which he slashed horizontally at an extremely fast speed.

however.

at this time.

An ugly and ferocious sword blocked Mengbai's way and collided with the golden light knife. The two powerful forces instantly canceled each other out.

It’s Mr. Baihe!
He activated the skill "Vow of Vengeance" that came with the Sword Skeleton Greatsword.

This is a skill that is several times more powerful than the Golden Tree's Oath. If it is extracted alone, it is at least a third-level rare skill.

This skill cannot affect all friendly units like the Golden Tree's Oath, but can only be effective on oneself. However, the amplification effect is very amazing.

Mr. Baihe's overall physical fitness, which was only at the second level and two stars, has now been upgraded to the peak of the second level and five stars, and is even extremely close to the third level.

Although this state can only last for a short period of time, it is enough for him to have the ability to fight against the evil demons.

Baihe Jushi: "One person fights on each side!"

Meng Bai: "Okay!"

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, formed a pincer attack on the evil omen demon. Even a strong one like the evil omen demon could not kill the two faded ones immediately, and their purpose was very simple, which was mainly to restrain the evil omen demon.

At this time, three rock balls the size of human heads and wrapped in powerful purple gravity magic energy attacked.

The evil demon swung his sword extremely quickly and smashed two of them in one blow, but the powerful force released also shocked him so much that he could hardly hold the long staff.

The third rock ball hit the body.

The evil demon was directly blown back several meters, and this was the first effective damage the adventurer had suffered after so many rounds of fighting!
“This one will work!”

The other adventurers were excited.

However, although Markit was hurt, he was far from defeated.

"You should not be underestimated... You faded ones are indeed descendants of warriors, but you alone are not enough to defeat me!"

The evil demon's attack became more crazy. He rushed to the adventurer quickly, waving the black stone staff in his right hand and holding the golden dagger in his left hand. He first launched a series of fierce attacks on Mengbai and Baihe Jushi.

Mengbai and Baihe Jushi did not dare to be careless at all. They could only concentrate on feeling the strange sword skills of the evil demon.

Unexpectedly, it happened halfway through the fight.

The evil demon suddenly threw the dagger, but the target was not anyone in front of him.

Puff.

Higanbana looked at her chest in surprise.

A three-foot-long golden energy dagger was inserted right on the heart.

"I rely on!"

Higanbana didn't expect to be attacked suddenly.

With her reaction speed and agility in the secret realm, she couldn't dodge it at all.

When the red spider lily was hit in the vitals, it was killed instantly, and the most important output of the adventurer team was gone.

Mengbai and Baihe Jushi could only continue fighting, hoping to find a flaw in the next battle.

obviously.

The chances of winning if we fight this way are slim!
The evil demon wielded his staff and launched a series of ten consecutive slashes. The speed of each attack was difficult to discern. If the adventurer could not defend accurately, it would be difficult to resist with his current strength.

Mengbai responded instinctively and blocked the first seven or eight attacks, but was broken by the next attack, and the next two attacks all landed on him.

Although he didn't die, he was seriously injured.

Upon seeing this, Baihe Jushi immediately swung his sword to block it, but at this moment he felt the power being stripped away from his body.

The sword that was originally swung freely suddenly became heavy.

"not good!"

"The amplification effect has disappeared!"

Baihe Jushi's BUFF disappeared at this moment, which caused his strength and speed to be significantly reduced.

The evil demon swung a light hammer and easily forced back Baihe Jushi, then suddenly leaped into the air to chase the injured Mengbai.

The latter took out the Holy Grail bottle.

In the end, I didn’t have time to drink it.

The evil demon flew in from the sky and stabbed its staff directly into the ground. This attack penetrated Mengbai's body and caused a large-scale shock wave attack.

Mengbai, die!

Of the three adventurers, only one was left.

This way, there is no suspense about the result!
Mr. Baihe was also defeated by the violent and strange attack of the evil omens and demons.

Although the battle still ended in failure, it was very exciting for the other adventurers in Miracle City.

"As expected of an evil omen demon!"

"I didn't expect that the three bosses would lose together!"

"too difficult!"

"We can't challenge them lightly. We must first upgrade and become stronger. At least we must have the strength of a second-level four or five-star before we dare to challenge!"

"The evil omen demon is really powerful!"

"This third-level spirit is also extremely valuable!"

"..."

Mengbai, Higanbana, and Baihe Jushi were blessing resurrection at the same time, and all three had serious expressions.

Meng Bai couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, the lord is going too far. How could he put such a strong enemy here!"

The evil demons and ghosts are so powerful.

How to fight against Greg who has the limb attached later?
Higanbana immediately spoke up for Boss Qi: "The exploration of the border area is open-ended. Perhaps we arrived too early. Lord Qi's arrangements are always reasonable."

Baihe Jushi also said: "We actually have hope of winning this battle, but our coordination is not yet proficient enough. I think we should be able to win if we try a few more times."

The three of them are currently very exhausted, but they can still play three or five more games, which should be enough to get used to each other.

After some discussion and research on tactics.

Enter the battle again, the second team challenge.

This time I persisted longer than last time, but in the end I was still defeated.

"Come again!"

“I feel like this time it will work!”

Mengbai, Higanbana, and Baihe Jushi seemed to have seen the hope of victory, and after two rounds of battles, the coordination between them was deepening.

During the third round of team challenge, the three adventurers were able to gain the upper hand and suppress the evil demon with the experience of many battles and cooperation.

After twenty or thirty rounds.

The evil omen demon was hit by seven or eight rock balls, chopped twice by Jian Hai's greatsword, and hit three times by Meng Bai's thrusts.

The adventurer noticed that there was no blood in the wound of the evil omen demon, only a light golden aura was released.

"what happened?"

"This ominous demon's body is a little strange. Could it be that it's not a physical entity?"

"..."

There's no time to think too much right now.

At this moment, we are only one step away from success.

The three of them redoubled their efforts and attacked fiercely again. Finally, after exerting tremendous strength and with the help of some luck, they inflicted fatal damage to the evil demon.

The evil demon could no longer maintain its body. Its tall body disintegrated on the spot and turned into a sky full of golden light.

A gloomy voice.

From all directions:
"O Faded One, I will remember you..."

Higanbana was surprised: "What's going on? Is he dead or not? It makes me feel uneasy."

Meng Bai said: "It seems that this Markit is not the real person. The one who appears here is just a clone."

Baihe Jushi's expression was solemn: "If a clone has such strength, his original body must be at least fourth level or above, even stronger than the limb-removing Greg!"

After the three adventurers went through hardships and difficulties, they finally succeeded in defeating the evil demon Markit.

The adventurers watching outside suddenly cheered.

"Won!"

"The boss is really awesome!"

"This battle is very meaningful!"

"Finally, I can explore Stonevale City!"

"..."

Although the process was extremely difficult, victory was ultimately achieved, which was a major breakthrough for the adventurers in Miracle City!
After the three adventurers defeated the evil demon, they each obtained a large amount of runes and returned to their own dimension.

Mengbai can't wait to activate the blessing, she wants to spend the runes to upgrade and strengthen.

When she summoned Melina.

This girl, who existed in the form of a soul, first apologized to the adventurer.

"I'm sorry, but I've actually been observing you because I doubted whether you truly had the resolve and ability to meet the Elden Ring... and Torret believed in you from the very beginning."

Mengbai was stunned when she heard this, not understanding why Melina suddenly said this to her.

She said calmly, "It's okay, I don't mind. After all, I am full of confidence in becoming the King of Elden."

Melina nodded. "There is one thing I can guide you on. I can lead you to the Hall of the Round Table and have you join it."

"What? The Round Table Hall!"

When I heard this.

Mengbai's eyes widened immediately.

Of course she knew what the Round Table Hall was. She had heard about it from the white-masked Van Lei as early as when she just entered the border area.

It is said that the Round Table Hall is a very special place, where only the truly top faders can be invited and join.

Melina could actually introduce me to the Round Table Hall? This mysterious girl's identity is indeed not simple!

No matter what!
This is good news!

It shows that your potential and abilities have been recognized.

Secondly, there are many powerful faded people and even top powerhouses in the round table hall.

Furthermore, as an ancient organization that existed as early as the time of the first King Godfrey, there must be a lot of information and intelligence that can be obtained.

……

at this time.

In the lord's mansion.

Qi Ji observed the progress of the adventurers' adventures, and saw Mengbai, Higanbana, and Baihe Jushi each enter the round table hall under the introduction of Melina.

The adventure of these adventurers in the border area is already on track, and their progress is faster than expected.

The secret realms including the Nine Realms Tree and the Arad Continent are also being developed very quickly.

For example.

Just a short time ago.

Qi Ji received a special spirit.

[Adventurer Artus handed over the spirit of "GBL Librarian: Isadura"! ]

A named spirit!
Qi Ji had unknowingly accumulated several named spirits.

Isadula is one of the most knowledgeable scholars of the GBL religion in the continent of Arad. If she could come to Miracle City as a named person, she could become a good assistant.

I received several more Heroic Soul Stones recently.

It seems like it's time to recruit another group of named people.

After all, as the size of the territory and the number of extraordinary facilities increase, more trusted personnel are needed to manage it.
