Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Chapter 141 All-Out Attack

At this moment, Xiao Yu, along with Wang Yang, Su Qingmeng, Chen Xi, and other team members, appeared in the core area. They teleported to this point and then stopped advancing, with none of them entering the final area where Zhu Wen was located.

Eight members of the Chosen Ones team.

They all looked terrified.

It's easy to see that they witnessed something incredible.

Although they had already experienced many shocks along the way, Xiao Yu always managed to create new shocks for them.

This was truly shocking.

There are two reasons.

First, Xiao Yu recently defeated the evil Jing Xiang again with great efficiency.

Jing Xiang is the second key evil fall in the White Horse Blood River route. His strength is similar to Li Zhen's, but he is even more troublesome.

Jing Xiang was Zhu Wen's chief strategist.

Zhu Wen's ability to navigate the chaos of the late Tang Dynasty, making correct choices time and again, and ultimately rising from a general in Huang Chao's uprising to a warlord, usurp the Tang throne, and become emperor was all thanks to this chief architect.

His corrupted form and title are "The Wise Demon of the Turbid World".

It's easy to see that this is a boss that tests one's insight and intelligence, and is more of a mechanics-based type.

After the Chosen Ones squad enters Bloodbeam City through White Horse Post Station, they will eventually arrive at a place called "Bloodstained Chongzheng Academy" by following the correct route.

This is the location of the BOSS station where "Turbid World Wisdom Demon · Jingxiang" is located.

This boss's main ability is more like being trapped in a maze. The chosen one will be constantly disturbed by strange formations and illusions, causing them to wander around and making it difficult to actually enter Chongzheng Academy.

According to the Blood Liang City mechanism.

The more the chosen ones move, the deeper the pollution becomes.

Jing Xiang's terrifying aspect is that no matter how strong you are, it's meaningless. Once you get trapped and can't break free, you'll eventually be trapped and die.

however.

Before the all-knowing eye.

Jing Xiang's methods were ineffective.

Xiao Yu quickly broke through the layers of illusions and finally entered Chongzheng Academy, where he killed the powerful evil demon.

The whole process was swift and efficient.

This is why Xiao Yu's team was able to appear in the core area in time, and also why Xiao Yu was able to send Li Cunxiao to support Ye Heshan in time.

And then Li Cunxiao appeared.

That is precisely the second shocking point.

These chosen ones have all seen the spirit of Xiao Yu's nameless flying general.

They instinctively believed that this level 11 nameless heroic spirit was Xiao Yu's main heroic spirit.

and so.

The moment Li Cunxiao's spirit appeared.

Both the chosen one of the Asking Sky and the other three captains were completely stunned.

It's a Red Heroic Spirit!

Li Cunxiao's spirit not only reached the red level.

His cultivation level was even the same as Guo Ziyi of Yehe Mountain, reaching level 11!

That is to say!

The nameless flying general is strong.

It is by no means Xiao Yu's strongest heroic spirit.

"Who could have imagined that, besides Ye Heshan, there would be a second Chosen One in this world possessing a red-quality Heroic Spirit!"

"No wonder Master Yu is so strong!"

"If it contains a top-tier Heroic Spirit, then this makes sense!"

"Li Cunxiao is clearly a local hero spirit, which should be the hero spirit he obtained from the forbidden area of ​​Chang'an."

"Everyone thought this Heroic Spirit was purple, but it seems the information was wrong!"

"But I don't understand!"

"This heroic spirit has been around for less than ten days. How did Master Yu manage to raise Li Cunxiao to the second tier? I feel it's impossible, simply unthinkable!"

3

How difficult is it to cultivate Red Heroic Spirits?

Xiao Yu possesses the body of a saint, but the cost is halved. He still needs to expend a huge amount of vital energy, which is as difficult as ascending to heaven for other chosen ones.

Su Qingmeng and Wang Yang were thrilled.

They had only just come to know of Li Cunxiao's existence.

This means that Xiao Yu's heroic spirit and abilities have increased again.

"Master."

"I don't quite understand!"

Zhou Lie raised a question: "Since you've determined that Captain Ye and his men will definitely be in trouble, why don't we just go directly into the core area to provide reinforcements?"

"Because we can't go in!"

Xiao Yu said, "The mechanics of this Nightmare Dungeon are very unique. Entering the core area rashly before the grand formation is completely destroyed will only temporarily increase the strength of all monsters in the entire area!"

"This enhancement is not fixed, but increases with the number of people and strength. If we appear within the effective range of the formation, Ye Heshan will face stronger enemies and a more dangerous situation."

So that's what happened!

No wonder the master didn't take action personally; given his strength and attributes, his entry would be a devastating disaster for Ye Heshan and the others.

Chen Xi: "I never expected that our first nightmare would have such a twisted mechanism. How should we deal with it?"

"The Blood Beam Formation consists of four formations. As long as one of the formations is intact, the formation's effect will not disappear."

Xiao Yu gazed at the high platform and continued speaking.

"This formation gradually strengthens from the outside in; the outer perimeter can only exert up to 20% of its effect, while only the core area can exert 100% of its effect."

"in other words."

"Zhu Wen receives roughly five times the amplification effect compared to the outer monsters. Once it takes effect for a while, he's practically impossible to defeat!"

Su Qingmeng: "No wonder this nightmare requires four teams to challenge; any one team failing could bring about a devastating disaster!"

That's exactly right!

Ye Heshan and the others had not yet met Zhu Wen, so they were unaware of his power, which was precisely why they had survived until now.

otherwise.

Once inside the core area.

When faced with Zhu Wen, whose strength was several times, even dozens of times, greater.

They couldn't last more than a few rounds; there was no chance of winning this battle.

strength?

How many people?

Meaningless!

This nightmare dungeon theoretically requires teamwork to clear!

Wang Yang asked, "How should we deal with this?"

Xiao Yu: "This is why I used the Bloodstained Chongzheng Academy to teleport here."

"Exploring from the outskirts of Bloodbeam City to other areas is a long and extremely difficult journey, while exploring from the central area outwards is relatively easy."

Lu Chengfeng: "Is the Great God's idea that we should first challenge Zhu Wen, or turn around and deal with the other two formations that have not yet been destroyed?"

"To be precise, it's not us."

"6

Xiao Yu said, "The pollution levels on your bodies are currently at least 50%. Although there is still some redundancy, it is impossible for you to make a long-distance run."

Wang Yang nodded and said, "The more people move within Bloodbeam City, the more contaminated it becomes."

Su Qingmeng: "Don't tell me you want to—"

Xiao Yu nodded: "I obtained ten Pure Stream Hearts near Baima Post Station. These are enough to alleviate my pollution pressure, thereby breaking the other two formations and completely destroying the Blood Beam Formation!"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. The boss wanted to break away from the team and single-handedly open up two other routes—just hearing about it was insane!

How large is Bloodbeam City?

The pollution we will experience will be beyond imagination!

This place is full of traps, monsters, and many hidden areas and hidden BSS.

Acting alone.

Absolutely insane!

However, the battles of "Jing Xiang, the Wise Demon of the Turbid World" and "Li Zhen, the Eternal Turbid Owl" left no room for doubt.

"Don't waste this precious opportunity for cultivation!"

Xiao Yu immediately made arrangements: "Wang Yang, after I temporarily leave the team, you will act as the temporary team leader and continue to grind monsters in the vicinity."

"clear!"

Wang Yang immediately accepted the order.

His strength may not be the strongest among the eight chosen ones, but he is the most suitable candidate to take over as captain and lead everyone to fight monsters and level up.

Wang Yang's "Heavenly Evolution Battlefield" is a top-tier deduction-type talent, sufficient to resolve most dangers and reliably defeat monsters.

In the initial stage of development.

High production of vital energy.

The drop rate is also very good.

Xiao Yu's team's Chosen Ones' contamination levels are not yet at a point where they can't continue. Moving around a small area and clearing out nearby monsters isn't too difficult!

Kill as many monsters as possible.

The more generous the reward.

It can only benefit Xiao Yu.

The group immediately began to divide the work.

at this time.

Near the enthronement platform.

On a small floating island made up of broken guns and armor fragments.

Boom boom boom!

Dark gold spear.

A jet-black iron gun.

Madness and madness collide.

They exchanged more than ten blows in the blink of an eye.

Each time, it triggered a violent upheaval.

This is a thrilling and intense battle.

-

It seemed that Li Cunxiao and Wang Yanzhang were destined to fight each other.

According to historical legend, Wang Yanzhang was a fierce warrior who could "not move his shadow in the sun" and had defeated three generals and two Tang generals. Li Cunxiao's bravery was even ranked alongside Xiang Yu as the best in the late Tang and Five Dynasties period.

Of course, Wang Yanzhang was strengthened by the Deep Sea Ambush Formation, and his overall strength had reached the level of a rare overlord of level 13, while Li Cunxiao was only a level 11 heroic spirit.

Wang Yanzhang has a slight advantage.

However, this advantage is not significant enough.

Although Li Cunxiao occasionally fell into a disadvantageous position, the match remained almost evenly matched throughout, and it was difficult to determine a winner within at least one or two hundred rounds.

"Red Heroic Spirit!"

"There's no mistake, this must be Xiao Yu's heroic spirit. His named heroic spirit isn't purple at all, it's red!"

When you realize this.

Ye Heshan and the others experienced a brief mental breakdown.

Everyone had long seen that Yu Xiao's strength was extremely high and that he must be hiding something. They also knew that Yu Xiao was most likely the chosen one who obtained a top-tier heroic spirit through the trial in the forbidden area of ​​Chang'an a while ago.

Although I was mentally prepared.

But I didn't expect it to be this strong!

It is not difficult to see that Li Cunxiao's spirit is no weaker than Guo Zidou's.

Of course, the two heroes' aptitude and luck are actually similar; the stronger one mentioned here refers only to pure combat power.

Both were military generals.

However, their focuses are completely different.

Guo Zidou was more like a general and a scholar-general like Sun Tzu.

Li Cunxiao is a natural-born warrior, skilled in both charging into battle and fighting alone. Even though he is not a top-tier red-rank hero, there are very few heroes of the same rank who can compare to him!

therefore.

If it's a fair one-on-one match.

The level of the soul weapon is similar to that of the cultivation technique.

One Li Cunxiao could probably fight against two Guo Zidou at the same time.

In the case of large-scale battles involving large armies, the role that a hero like Guo Zidou, who focuses on support and area control, can play is far greater than that of Li Cunxiao.

Each has its own strengths.

This is why Li Cunxiao was able to withstand Wang Yanzhang's offensive immediately upon his appearance, giving the other chosen ones a chance to catch their breath.

"We can win this battle!"

After catching his breath, Ye Heshan quickly threw himself into the battle and immediately sent Guo Zidou to join the fight.

"May blessings be bestowed upon all living beings!"

Guo Zidou immediately activated a large-scale healing skill, allowing the injured heroic spirits to be instantly restored.

"All enemies are defeated!"

"His might shook the four barbarian lands!"

"The Spirit of the Tang Dynasty Army!"

Guo Zidou then unleashed three more secret techniques to suppress Wang Yanzhang while simultaneously boosting the overall strength of the Chosen Ones faction.

Li Cunxiao and Wang Yanzhang were not far apart in strength to begin with. When he was amplified by several top-level secret techniques, including the "Great Tang Army Soul", his combat power was immediately enhanced in all aspects. Moreover, Guo Zidou and Li Guangbi, two top-level heroic spirits, soon joined the battle.

This battle.

There is no suspense.

Although Wang Yanzhang had high health and defense, he couldn't withstand such crazy damage output, and was eventually completely eliminated by the concentrated fire of the chosen ones.

[The chosen one "Ye Heshan" has achieved the first kill against the historically corrupt "Iron-Spine Spear Demon Wang Yanzhang," gaining 100 points of world luck!]

"pity!"

Li Cunxiao looked at the fallen Wang Yanzhang with regret, but his regret was not that he had failed to kill Wang Yanzhang.

He felt that this was a very good opponent, and it was a pity that he couldn't have a fair fight with him and that the opponent died under siege.

of course.

Can understand.

The pollution level of Ye Heshan's team has reached a critical point, and they can no longer delay, otherwise they will inevitably be wiped out!

Wang Yanzhang's drop rate is very good.

[Soul Essence +61022, Wang Yanzhang's Thousand Battles Demon Spear Fragment +1, Blue Fortune Stone +1, Blue Heroic Spirit Essence +6, Purple Forging Stone +3, Purple Soul Stone +15!]

Not only did multiple cabinets of rare purple materials appear, but there were also luck stones containing a large amount of blue heroic spirit essence.

In addition, a blue-named equipment fragment was also discovered. Although it is a blue-named equipment, it is still a very promising piece of equipment.

"General Li, if it weren't for your help, we would have been in grave danger in this battle. Please accept this box of spoils!"

Ye Heshan is very magnanimous.

No spoils were taken.

They delivered the spoils of war to Li Cunxiao.

Li Cunxiao said in a deep voice, "Although I made a move, I did not achieve complete success, and therefore cannot accept this gift!"

Flying Tiger General looked fierce and oppressive.

He is actually an honest person.

After Ye Heshan persuaded him several times, Heng finally came up with a compromise.

"I've already secured the first kill on Wang Yanzhang, so I can't expect more. How about we divide this spoils: 40% to the others, and the remaining 60% to the general?"

"Can!"

Li Cunxiao thought about it and accepted.

Ye Heshan divided the spoils among himself.

Other chosen ones collect a portion of the essence of heroic spirits, along with Soul-Subduing Stones and vital energy.

As for the equipment fragments, purple forging stones, and luck stones, all these extremely valuable resources belong to Li Cunxiao, or more precisely, to Yu Xiao.

After dividing the spoils.

Ye Heshan's team has reached its limit.

His own contamination level has reached 94%, and that of Henggao's members has reached 98!

"We can only stay cold this far."

Ye Heshan looked up at the coronation platform, which was very close and could be reached in three to five minutes, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

The outcome was predictable.

He didn't even get to see Zhu Wen.

It's somewhat regrettable.

"Please give my thanks to Brother Yu Xiao and wish him success in completing the remaining challenges. Afterwards, we'll have a drink together!"

Li Cunxiao pointed.

That's what they say.

Whether it was Lin Siwei or anyone else, they didn't think highly of Yu Xiao.

This person is indeed far stronger than imagined, not inferior to Ye Heshan at all, but the mechanism of this nightmare is really disgusting.

The odds of winning are extremely slim!

The most urgent task is to admit defeat, go back and rest as soon as possible, and wait for two more teams to emerge before launching a final battle!

We have a better chance of winning if all four teams go together.

"Don't be discouraged, everyone. There's no regret in this battle; we've done our utmost."

"How much time is left?"

"We cannot hesitate."

"withdraw!"

Ye Heshan, Lin Siwei, and other chosen ones activated the Heavenly Dao Imprint to escape the nightmare, and their figures completely disappeared from this space.

For them.

The challenge ended in failure.

Although the challenge failed, there was no loss. On the contrary, by withdrawing at the right time, the gains were preserved and the outcome was relatively satisfactory.

A few minutes later.

In a certain area of ​​Blood Liang City filled with blood-red mist, Li Cunxiao was summoned once again, kneeling on one knee before Xiao Yu.

"Greetings, my lord!"

"No need for formalities, is everything going smoothly?"

Li Cunxiao immediately presented the supplies and equipment fragments, and then briefly explained the process and results.

.

"It's truly rare to find three purple forging stones in one go. This fragment of the war gun equipment can also be forged and used as one of my spare equipment."

Xiao Yu was very satisfied: "Ye Heshan is quite a good friend."

Store the supplies securely.

Xiao Yufu continued, "We need to travel back and forth to Hai, and the remaining time is very tight. We must make the most of every second and start the division first!"

Li Cunxiao raised his arm.

Xiao Yu had already summoned the other three heroic spirits, among whom Sun Tzu, dressed in a border robe, holding a military treatise, and exuding a refined and indifferent air, was located on the left.

The graceful figures of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are on the right, and they are also ready.

The Four Heroic Spirits.

They appeared at the same time.

Act simultaneously.

This is a rare sight!

"Xi Shi, Zheng Dan, you will follow me on the southern route to deal with Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, Li Ye."

"I will obey my master's orders!"

Xi Shi and Zheng Danzi exchanged a glance, and both saw joy in each other's eyes.

Compared to Sun Tzu and Li Cunxiao.

Their combat strength is relatively weak.

That is why they can stay with their master.

"Sun Wu, Li Cunxiao, follow the route I gave you north to find the hiding place of Emperor Zhu Yougui of the Liang Dynasty and deal with him."

"Yes, sir!"

The two generals were appointed at the same time.

Bloodbeam City has a complex structure with many traps and deceptions, but Sun Wu is almost omnipotent and has no weaknesses, so he can completely handle these troubles.

"This operation is not only related to the success or failure of this nightmare cleansing, but also a very valuable opportunity for cultivation."

"Don't waste your time if you encounter a gathering of monsters or a hidden corrupted area."

He then gave a few more instructions.

The order to take action has been formally issued.

Sun Wu led Li Cunxiao northwards, while Xiao Yu led the two maids, Huan Sha, southwards.

The operation was fraught with difficulties.

The result was not much of a surprise.

After Ye Heshan, Lin Siwei and others escaped from the nightmare, they first reported to Yang Fuye and Guo Chonghai.

Guo Chonghai exclaimed in surprise, "This 'Bloody Bianliang' is actually so dangerous?"

Yang Fuye frowned slightly: "Although we did not win this battle, we have not failed either. You have all done your best."

97

He was slightly disappointed.

Unexpectedly, even a top-tier chosen one like Ye Heshan was able to clear the Nightmare in one go.

However, this time we are very close to the ultimate goal, and with four days to go, the chosen one can fight a few more times, and the probability of success is not low.

As for Xiao Yu's team in the secret realm? Yang Fuye didn't believe that such a small number of people could bring about much change.

however.

Surprisingly.

Ye Heshan has been here for an hour.

The other team remained silent, not activating any poisons, and did not send out a single Chosen One.

What happened?

Just as everyone was puzzled.

The two announcements appeared on the old channel less than a minute apart.

[The Chosen One "Yu Xiao" has achieved the first kill against the historically corrupt "Hateful Dragon Prisoner Li Hua," gaining 80 points of world luck!]

[The chosen one "Yu Xiao" has achieved the first kill against the historically corrupt "Father-Eating Demon Spirit Zhu Yougui," gaining 80 points of world luck!]

Two key vices.

It was just picked up like that!

These two evildoers, along with Jing Xiang and Yang Shihou, constitute the four key points of the Blood Beam City Formation.

in other words.

From this moment on.

The Blood Beam Formation has failed!

(P.S.: Requesting votes on Monday!)
