Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

The group was teleported to a forest.

The surrounding trees were bare, covered in black blood-red cracks, and upon closer inspection, one could see that the trees were filled with wriggling, mycelial blood.

Each plant produces flower buds shaped like eyes, which occasionally release dark red spores, creating a mist that obstructs vision and is also quite toxic, causing weakness.

"This is no place to linger!" Su Qingmeng cautiously surveyed the surroundings. "I've heard that the Gusu Demon Palace is located on Gusu Mountain. If we find this mountain, we can find the dungeon entrance..."

"Be careful!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Xiao Yu suddenly reminded him, "Nine o'clock!"

Zhao Gang had developed a habit and tacit understanding; even though he didn't know what had happened, he immediately took two steps forward and activated the giant light shield.

Boom!

Four green, corrosive fireballs pierced through the smog and landed on the shield with a piercing hissing sound.

"There's an ambush!"

Nearly twenty humanoid monsters appeared in the vicinity.

There are four or five level 5 elite Evil Eye Warlocks here, in addition to two other types of monsters I've never seen before.

A small, slender creature that wields a 40-50 cm curved knife in reverse, and is also equipped with a bow and arrows and throwing knives.

【Evil Eye Wu Hook Death Soldier】, Level 6 Common Unit... Description: Originally a Wu Hook guard protecting the King of Wu, he was mutated due to deep-sea pollution.

Another type is burly, clad in heavy leather armor, and wielding a heavy axe; they appear somewhat clumsy but are very imposing.

【Evil-Eyed Rhinoceros-Armored Soldier】, Level 6 Common Unit... Originally a rhinoceros-armored soldier under the command of the King of Wu, it was mutated due to deep-sea pollution.

It's an ordinary monster.

But it reaches level 6.

This should not be underestimated!

The evil eye sorcerers summoned a cloud of black mist that enveloped eight evil eye elite soldiers, carrying them rapidly forward dozens of meters to their front.

The six assassins then scattered and fired arrows and darts, all of which were coated with deadly poison.

"not good!"

Zhao Gang exclaimed in surprise.

The Holy Shield is powerful.

However, it is not a defense without blind spots.

With a large team, it's inevitable that some things will be neglected.

At this moment, Liu Xing clasped his hands together, creating a nearly transparent spherical barrier that deflected all arrows and poisoned darts that entered the area.

"Well done, Stephen Chow!"

This is the innate skill "Psychic Protection".

It is also a fairly strong defensive skill.

In terms of defensive strength, duration, and mental energy conservation, it is far inferior to the Holy Shield.

It can provide 360-degree protection with its psychic power and can also resist attacks with mental attributes, which is something the Holy Shield cannot do.

Wang Yang sneered, "Although there are many of them, they aren't too strong. Let's get rid of them quickly!"

"yes!"

Li Zihao's body quickly burst into flames, transforming into a two-meter-tall, humanoid giant with bull horns on its head and flames engulfing its entire body.

Innate ability: "Flame Demon Transformation".

This allows the chosen one to transform into a Flame Demon form, the strength of which is directly related to their cultivation level and stats.

With his attack and defense greatly enhanced, Flame Demon Li Zihao charged directly at the nearby Rhinoceros Armored Soldiers, almost single-handedly stopping several of them.

Jiang Xiaxia quickly activated "Chu's Grace!"

Everyone's attributes were immediately boosted.

Lu Dahai threw a fireball that hit a front-row Evil Eye Soldier squarely, and the flames exploded, affecting two or three other targets nearby.

-76!

-42!

-35!

The others were slightly surprised.

Wang Yang thought to himself, "The Spirit Fireball has low energy consumption, short cooldown, and can be used continuously. This fat guy can deal such high damage; his output capability is really strong!"

No wonder he's Xiao Yu's subordinate!

The main reason for his high damage output is that he possesses the green-quality magic weapon "Bear's Phoenix Pattern Town Jade", a high-quality piece of equipment that even Su Qingmeng and Wang Yang do not have.

"Lightning strike!"

Yang Yong summoned lightning out of thin air, which struck an evil sorcerer from above, interrupting his spellcasting and severely injuring him.

Zhao Xuezhu released a burst of cold air that condensed into a blue phoenix, which passed through the front-row soldiers, instantly freezing them.

Finally, it fell into the back row of evil eye sorcerers, and a storm of ice erupted from the point where the blue ice phoenix fell.

Several evil-eyed sorcerers were frozen.

Zhao Xuezhu has a very strong ice-type talent.

"Wind Slash!"

Huang Hui unleashed an incredibly fast cyan wind blade, instantly slicing across the neck of an evil eye sorcerer.

-120 (Deadly Critical Hit)!

This middle-aged female university teacher is no ordinary person either.

She has a wind-attribute attack talent, and her skill Wind Slash has a long attack range, high speed, and a considerable cutting and armor-piercing effect.

When dealing with warlock-type targets who have weak defense and physical strength, a decapitation strike can instantly kill the target.

Everyone was now displaying their unique abilities.

On the contrary, Xiao Yu, Wang Yang, and Su Qingmeng, the three strongest chosen ones, did not rush to make a move.

Even disregarding the three leaders, the nine ordinary team members are all quite capable and have their own strengths.

After one round of offensive.

The Evil Eye Clan has been severely damaged.

Instead of backing down, they became even more frantic.

The two sides were vastly unequal in strength, but the tricky part was that the Chosen Ones squad had to win without losing any members.

Winning is easy.

Achieving a perfect record would be difficult.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu finally made his move.

"Rapid Fire!"

First, activate a newly learned skill.

Although it's only a white-level skill, it can instantly increase dynamic vision, reaction speed, and agility, thereby greatly increasing archery speed.

Take out the level 5 Golden Silk Bow.

A rapid burst of shots.

-54!

-58!

-107 (Critical Hit)!

……

Almost one arrow, one kill!

They efficiently mowed down the remaining troops.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

Zhao Xuezhu exclaimed in surprise, "The damage output is actually that high?"

Huang Hui was also incredulous: "He was just using a normal attack, and his skill level was almost higher than others!"

"He's gotten stronger again..."

Wang Yang confirmed that when he had tested Xiao Yu earlier, Xiao Yu's attack power was not that high and his attack speed was not that fast.

Xiao Yu made his move.

The battlefield is one-sided.

With that insane firepower and output.

The Evil Eye Clan was quickly wiped out.

Luo Ting, the support staff member of Su Qingmeng's team, began her work. This quiet and introverted short-haired girl possessed a rare healing talent.

The injured teammates recovered quickly.

"Hahaha!"

"That's awesome!"

"These small fry are nothing to fear!"

"..."

The morale of the crowd was greatly boosted.

Su Qingmeng: "Don't be careless. This attack is highly suspicious; we've clearly been targeted!"

Wang Yang nodded: "That's right. I've checked the map. There's no Nightmare Altar nearby. The Evil Eye Familia shouldn't be here."

Li Zihao: "Why?"

Wang Yang replied, "These creatures that emerged from the deep sea have not truly left the deep sea to reach the old shore."

"Although theoretically it can be refreshed infinitely, the activity radius is strictly limited unless a deep-sea tide or tsunami occurs, and you can only move within the area affected by the Nightmare Altar."

Su Qingmeng nodded and added:

"This area isn't within the Nightmare Altar's influence range, so encountering just wild monsters isn't a big deal, but encountering these Nightmare Familiars is completely illogical!"

"Besides..."

"The Nameless Clan has little wisdom, only madness, chaos, and stupidity. They are incapable of spontaneously organizing an ambush."

He truly deserves to be called an outstanding individual.

Both of them are indeed much better than the average player.

They also obtained a lot of information that ordinary players didn't know through their own channels.

Xiao Yu: "The answer is obvious. There are definitely spies in Suiyang City, and they're all of high rank!"

Jiang Xiaxia exclaimed in surprise, "Deep Sea Believers? But how did they do that?!"

Lu Dahai: "Yes, this place is five or six hundred miles away from Suiyang City. We only finalized our operation yesterday. Even if the other side could obtain intelligence, they wouldn't come all this way to deploy our forces!"

Xiao Yu: "Deep Sea Believers also have groups active in the wild, specializing in guerrilla sabotage or guarding the entrance to Nightmare."

Su Qingmeng frowned and said, "So you mean they are believers near the Gusu Demon Palace? Being targeted by these lunatics would be very troublesome, but they can't gather too much fighting force in a short time."

"Excellent!" Xiao Yu nodded. "These believers can establish temporary nightmare altars to attract nearby monsters to ambush them."

Su Qingmeng: "Then find and destroy the believers' stronghold as soon as possible!"

Without saying a word.

She summoned heroic spirits.

It is a Level 3 Astrologer Heroic Spirit.

"My stargazer has the ability to sense area."

"In addition, it has the ability to provide divination guidance, which can help you find the target location more quickly."

"The enemy must have a large force assembled here. If we don't counterattack quickly, we'll soon be surrounded by several times, or even more, their forces!"

"We must act immediately!"

"..."

After Su Qingmeng obtained this heroic spirit, although she did not use it as her main heroic spirit, it seems that she had undergone some training.

It would be easy for Xiao Yu to find a stronghold.

But he didn't mind letting Su Qingmeng show off.
