Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Chapter 146 Conspiracy! New Weapon!

Eliminate a faction of the Chosen Ones.

This is an extremely difficult task.

The only way is to completely destroy the Ark to which the Chosen One is bound, but to destroy the Ark, one must attack the Ark itself.

Cao Long did not want to launch a sneak attack on Wentianhao.

Before entering the Second Old One, the Dragon successfully attacked two Arks along the way, demonstrating its extensive experience.

However, the Tianlong is currently in a salvage operation, and if it is moved without authorization, it will change from a salvage operation to a navigation operation.

This process.

The risks and costs are considerable.

The first risk is the interruption of teleportation. The Chosen Ones of Jinling Old Days are temporarily unable to teleport back to the Ark, and the Chosen Ones in the Ark base also temporarily lose the ability to enter Jinling Old Days.

Secondly, once the Ark enters cruise mode, although it will not immediately lose contact with the Old Ones, its bond with the temple will loosen.

therefore.

Theoretically speaking.

If there were an alien ark for this.

This faction can seize the old pit slots.

The Jinling Temple, which the Tianlong was anchored to, was the best temple and city in the South. Losing this location would be a huge loss.

Finally, in order to maintain its connection with the old Jinling, the Ark consumes a large amount of luck every day.

Otherwise, the connection might be completely severed.

The Tianlong will be unable to reconnect to the old Jinling, and the chosen ones left behind in the old Jinling will automatically lose their Ark bondage.

These chosen ones who have lost their Ark bond cannot be resurrected; they will be completely eliminated with just one death.

Even if these risks are acceptable.

As the attacker and invading force, the Tianlong inevitably has to enter the opponent's territory to fight on foreign soil, which is much more difficult than for the defending force.

Unless you are absolutely certain.

The opponent is far weaker than the Tianlong.

Otherwise, Cao Long would never have made the move.

The Wentian is no ordinary vessel, and Su Qingmeng's strength is far greater than imagined, so launching a direct Ark War is not an option.

Therefore.

He was interested to hear it.

What's this guy up to?

Cao Long said calmly, "You have fifty seconds left!"

The cloaked figure said calmly, "Once the Amu Tsunami erupts, a large number of corrupted beings, monsters, and lurking Yellow Robe believers will take the opportunity to attack major cities, especially those guarded by Chosen Ones."

"The rise of the Wentian has overshadowed the Tianlong, which is not entirely a bad thing for Captain Cao, at least not in the short term."

This is true.

The rise of the Wentian is extremely rapid.

Su Qingmeng personally participated in the purification of the blood-stained Bianliang, and even used Cao Long as a stepping stone.

She is likely one of the most watched captains of the Ark in the South, attracting the most attention from believers and even those who have fallen into evil, and she must be facing considerable pressure.

Also.

The Tianlong was stationed in Jinling, the largest and most powerful capital city in the Southern Kingdom, while the Wentian was stationed in Jiangzhou, which was only a local capital.

The former is heavily guarded and filled with skilled fighters.

The latter has much weaker defensive capabilities.

The rise of the Wentian has actually weakened the threat posed by the Tianlong. In this nightmare tsunami, the Tianlong can most likely withstand the invasion by relying solely on the defenses of Jinling City itself.

In contrast, consider the Wentianhao.

Relying solely on homeland defense is insufficient.

Those destined for greatness must take the initiative.

The pressure during this process must be considerable.

Could it be that Cao Long had guessed the opportunity the mysterious cloaked man mentioned, and that he hoped the Tianlong would cooperate from within and without to attack the Wentian?

It is undeniable.

This is indeed an opportunity.

Why should we trust a believer of dubious origin? Believers and those who claim to be the chosen ones are fundamentally incompatible; who knows if this is a trap!

"Captain Cao has no choice. This is the only chance to destroy the Wentian, and it will do you no harm at all."

The cloaked man said, "Of course, we will demonstrate sufficient strength and sincerity to Captain Cao, so that he has no worries whatsoever."

"Captain Cao's task is simple: just help us infiltrate Jiangzhou City."

"During the Nightmare Tsunami, we will actively restrain Su Qingmeng and other powerful members of the Wentian. You only need to wait for the Wentian's defenses to be weakened, then decisively set sail and deliver a thunderous blow."

"How is it?"

"No need to meet, no need to work side-by-side, no need for direct cooperation; as long as there's enough understanding, this can be accomplished!"

C6

Upon hearing this...

Cao Long was tempted.

This guy's plan does sound very safe and doesn't have much risk!

This mysterious force of unknown origin seems to have a major grudge against the Wentian, and is therefore determined to destroy it.

If they truly have sufficient strength.

If they can really sneak into the city.

If they can indeed launch an attack during the Nightmare Tsunami, thereby tying down more of the Wentian's forces, including even Captain Su Qingmeng.

The Wentian will inevitably deploy all its forces, leaving the Ark's internal defenses vulnerable and giving the Tianlong a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

About it.

It can be done!

When Cao Long met with the secret envoy of the Evil Eye Cult, Su Qingmeng had already handed over her mission at the Jiangzhou Temple.

"The reward is really generous!"

Su Qingmeng obtained a full 60,000 soul essences, plus a batch of materials and the world's fortune, which was no small amount for her.

She is currently level 13 herself and level 11 in her main spirit language, with tens of thousands of extra essence, which she can use to cultivate skills and further enhance her strength.

"Thank you, Lord Daoyin!"

Su Qingmeng bowed to Inspector Li Congyu in thanks, and the latter nodded slightly, showing appreciation for the chosen one before him.

"There is someone who wants to see you."

"Who is it?"

"Your Excellency, the Grand Secretary."

Su Qingmeng was slightly taken aback.

Xia, who was standing next to her, looked on with curiosity.

"The Grand Secretary? Isn't he in Jinling? Did he come all the way to Jiangzhou City specifically for Senior Sister Su?"

Li Congyu said, "A nightmare tsunami is about to erupt. The Grand Secretary cannot leave the Imperial Academy, but he has his own way of descending upon this place."

.

Su Qingmeng, accompanied by Jiang Xiaoxia and Zhao Xuezhu, entered the secret room of the Observer's residence, where a complex and profound array appeared before them.

Not long after.

When the formation is activated.

A figure appeared among them.

Su Qingmeng thought to herself, "Indeed, it is some kind of clone descent technique. Although the ancients could not use teleportation, they had some means of communicating over long distances."

The three bowed.

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Grand Secretary!"

Zhao Pu said with a face full of satisfaction: "Not bad, you really did not disappoint me. You personally killed that villain Li Chengye. As for me, I will keep my promise and give you the mission reward."

Su Qingmeng immediately received a notification from the Heavenly Dao.

[Mission complete. World Luck +200, Soul Essence +8, Purple Heroic Spirit Essence +2, Purple Forging Stone +3, Purple Deep Sea Stone +3, Alliance Token +3, Purple Soul Stone +25!]

They received another substantial reward.

This quest yields more essence than the Nightmare Purification quest.

After all, the latter is a large-scale event that benefits everyone equally, and all those who participated in the attack on the fortress and all those who participated in the Nightmare event can receive a consolation prize to some extent.

More people are getting their hands on it.

Naturally, the impact is somewhat mitigated.

Zhao Pu gave Su Qingmeng a personal task.

Of course, Su Qingmeng can also get the team members to complete it together.

She can give up to 40% of the harvest to other team members.

Su Qingmeng planned to allocate this portion of the mission rewards so that the members who made contributions in this operation would receive greater rewards, and it would also further solidify her position in the team.

"Your Excellency!"

Su Qingmeng did not express her gratitude, but took out a scroll from her storage space. "This is information I obtained through Li Chengye. The contents of this scroll are likely true. I humbly request the Prime Minister to take a look!"

"intelligence?"

Zhao Pu was very surprised.

I didn't expect to gain anything extra.

Zhao Pu opened the scroll presented by Su Qingmeng and glanced at it. At first, he seemed nonchalant, but then his eyes widened in shock.

"this----"

"This lists the locations of several secret altars of the Yellow Robe Esoteric Sect in the Southern Kingdom, along with detailed information on the personnel involved!"

This is none other than this.

It was the same intelligence that Xiao Yu had given to Wang Yang, who used it as bait and a tool to force Li Chengye to show himself.

After this intelligence proved useful to Wang Yang, he authorized Su Qingmeng to use it in two or even three ways.

Since the locations of several secret altars are very close to Jiangnan West Road and Jiangzhou City, destroying them before the Nightmare Tsunami begins would undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on the Wentian.

"interesting----"

Although Zhao Pu doesn't know whether the information is true or false, his intuition tells him that it's probably true.

This matter.

Very bizarre.

Zhao Pu only knew that Li Chengye was betraying the interests of the Southern Kingdom and even the lives of soldiers on the front lines, but he never expected that the other party was actually a believer.

no doubt.

He is more dangerous than a simple traitor.

However, such a deeply hidden believer died inexplicably at the hands of the Chosen One, and inexplicably revealed so much information.

Is it reasonable?

Zhao Pu was incredibly clever.

He guessed that there must be something he didn't know.

However, it doesn't matter. The believer Li Chengye is dead, and the acquisition of such important intelligence is of great significance to the Southern Kingdom and the Imperial Academy!

The confrontation between the North and South is intensifying.

The Southern Kingdom needs to win over and cultivate a group of outstanding chosen ones, and Su Qingmeng is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.

"This intelligence appears to be extremely valuable, but since its authenticity cannot be verified, the reward cannot be assessed."

After a moment's thought, Zhao Pu said, "How about this, I appoint you as the Special Envoy of the Southern Kingdom, to work with the three nearby Observation Commissioners to investigate and resolve these secret altars."

Almost simultaneously.

Su Qingmeng received the mission.

As expected, it triggered a new quest.

The rewards for these tasks are sure to be substantial.

Moreover, Su Qingmeng wielded immense power during this process, which greatly contributed to the development and status of the Wentian.

The next two days.

Su Qingmeng immediately led the Wentian team into action, successfully breaking through three secret altars one after another, with amazing cumulative rewards from battles and missions.

Furthermore, the Bloodstained Bianliang Nightmare cooldown takes approximately two days, during which time one cooldown period is completed.

Despite her busy schedule, Su Qingmeng followed Xiao Yu to run the Nightmare dungeon again. Although the gains this time were far less than one-tenth of what she had gained during the initial raid, Su Qingmeng still earned tens of thousands of spirit points.

She leveled herself up to level 14 and, in the process, raised the main cultivation technique of the Wenzhong Heroic Spirit to level 4, resulting in a significant improvement in her overall strength.

If there was an element of luck in defeating Cao Long last time, then Su Qingmeng is confident that she can directly suppress Cao Long this time!

Wang Yang and Su Qingmeng were both busy.

Xiao Yu was certainly not idle these past two or three days. Apart from leading a team to run a dungeon once, he spent most of his time improving his equipment and heroes.

We have enough materials.

The equipment manufacturing process went very smoothly.

After equipping himself with the purple-quality Corpse-Slaying Whip, Xiao Yu has now acquired a second purple-quality weapon.

It's nothing else.

It was destined that the sword belonged to Loujian.

【Heavenly Mandate Sword】, Purple Low Grade, Equipment Level 8, Base Attack +120, Physical Attack Damage +42%, Agility +48, ​​Strength +35, Amplification of All Four Basic Attributes +12%, Sword Skill Damage +24%, Attached Skill "Heavenly Mandate Blood Curse", Durability 80.

The Destiny Sword is a special piece of equipment crafted from "Fragments of Fuchai's Destiny Sword" and "Fragments of Goujian's Destiny Sword".

This weapon's luck is no less than that of the Corpse-Slaying Whip; in fact, it possesses extreme attribute amplification, damage amplification, and attack power.

The base attack of the level 8 purple Destiny Attribute Carved Sword is as high as 112, which is much higher than the base attack of 90 when using the level 8 Corpse Whip.

In addition, there is the advancement to purple-grade weapon.

The attack damage and swordsmanship amplification effects of the Destiny-attributed Carved Sword are greatly enhanced.

Nowadays, if you use this sword to unleash the Righteous Sword or the Alluring Sword Dance, the damage it causes will be extremely explosive!

after all.

Both sword techniques are purple.

Only the swordsmanship enhancement of the purple sword can maximize its power.

The skill "Heavenly Blood Curse" attached to the Heavenly Fate Socketed Sword is a curse-type skill.

The general effect is that each time damage is successfully dealt, a curse mark will be left on the target. When the curse mark accumulates to a certain level, it can trigger a guaranteed kill.

Equipment grade upgrade.

The accompanying skills will also be enhanced. Nowadays, "Heavenly Blood Curse" can not only be accumulated gradually through the number of effective damages, but can also be accumulated instantly and quickly based on the intensity of a single damage.

In other words.

There are two cumulative effects.

Xiao Yu can accumulate a Blood Curse if he deals more than 3% of the target's total health in a single instance.

Can be stacked.

in other words.

If the damage from a single strike reaches 30%.

That would generate 11 blood curses, enough to trigger an extremely powerful Destiny Slash.

Without a doubt, the Destiny-Bound Sword has become a purple weapon, not only because its performance has been greatly improved, but also because the skills attached to the equipment are more powerful.

Extremely efficient at killing!

If the Corpse Whip excels at burst damage that ignores defense, then the Destiny Attribute Carved Sword is Xiao Yu's best weapon for sustained damage output.

There are these two weapons.

Xiao Yu's output capability will be terrifying.

Of course, while these two weapons are very powerful, their current forging level is still insufficient.

The level 8 sword is only used for carving, and the level 12 whip is only used for killing corpses.

Both are still only low-grade purple.

Xiao Yu plans to invest more resources to upgrade the two weapons to at least level 15, and gradually push their quality to mid-purple in the future, so that he can maintain an absolute dominant position in this old world.

however.

Crafting purple equipment is extremely difficult.

Two level 15 purple mid-grade weapons cannot be crafted overnight.

Xiao Yu not only needs to gather a larger production capacity, but also needs to manage limited resources more scientifically, while continuing to open-source more Soul Stones and materials.

Just as I was pondering this.

"Reporting to the lord!" Zheng Liangping ran up excitedly, "I have fulfilled my mission! Your warbow has been successfully forged!"

While they were talking.

He took out a war bow.

This bow is entirely black, as if carved from volcanic rock, and is engraved with various deep-sea mythical beast patterns, radiating a pale purple light that is very imposing.

"Did we finally succeed?!"

Xiao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. Among the many pieces of equipment he forged at the same time, the "Deep Sea Demon King War Bow" was undoubtedly the one he was most looking forward to and most eager to obtain.

After all, this was during the "Bloody Bianliang" incident.

Xiao Yu was only using the green-quality Ash Warbow.

The Deep Sea Demon King's War Bow is very powerful, but its forging materials are extremely demanding, requiring a total of 10 purple forging stones, 10 purple deep-sea stones, 50 purple soul stones, and 100 portions of purple material essence.

Extremely high cost!

That's an astronomical price!

Even Ye Heshan might not be able to produce it.

Xiao Yu invested a huge amount of resources to forge a war bow for himself, which was enough to make up for the deficiencies in his equipment. With the Nightmare Tsunami about to erupt, such a good bow could be said to have come at the perfect time.

I quickly glanced at the attributes.

"All those resources I spent were definitely worth it!"

Xiao Yu was very satisfied, and he decided to find a place to test the power of this new weapon.
