Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Countless heroic spirits from the old world.

Although heroic spirits have clear rank classifications, rank represents more of their growth potential and overall value than simply their combat power.

Some heroic spirits are of extremely high quality, but their combat power is not strong. Some heroic spirits are quite powerful, but their quality is not high due to their low growth potential.

For example, Xia's Queen Meng Ying of Chu.

This Servant is a green-grade Servant with almost full potential, but her abilities and value lie mainly in control and support.

If we have to talk about the ability to deal damage...

It's not even as good as Xia's gray-quality weapons.

Each of the heroic spirits has its own strengths, and Sun Tzu, the strategist, is no exception, primarily excelling in support and magical attacks.

However, because the quality of the heroic spirits is so high, and they have enough soul slots to fuse with acquired soul weapons, their physical combat potential is no less than that of most purple-quality fierce general heroic spirits.

Currently, equipped with only a green-quality "Rotten Dragon Blade", its melee combat capabilities are almost equivalent to those of a level 5 lord unit.

In addition, four Level 2 Soldier Saint Spells were added.

Crushing the evil and depraved Gongsun Sheng is a piece of cake.

Zhao Gang, Lu Dahai, Jiang Xiaoxia, and their respective heroic spirits immediately took action to entangle the minions summoned by the BOSS.

Sun Wu transformed into afterimages, moving around Gongsun Sheng, his sword beams constantly striking the massive body.

-124!

-125!

-134!

……

Each one caused a burning, searing wound.

Although this corrupted being is a level 5 lord, he is still just an entry-level ordinary lord. Even with the enhancement from the power of the deep sea, his strength is still not very strong.

The power of the Mountain God of Resentment lies in its incarnation mechanism. Once its three incarnations are broken, apart from its main body being hard to kill due to its high health and defense, it doesn't have many tricky or difficult-to-break methods.

Just a few minutes later.

Gongsun Sheng could no longer withstand it.

He staggered backward and stumbled backward.

At this moment, there are dozens of sword marks of varying sizes on his body, each one burning with intense red flames.

Although it possesses an almost superhuman regenerative ability, at this moment, due to its life force being nearly exhausted, the speed of recovery from various injuries has clearly stagnated.

"As expected of the chosen ones of later generations, you are indeed qualified to challenge Fuchai!"

Gongsun Sheng spoke in a deep voice: "However, Fuchai is nothing. Your strength is still no match for Wu Zixu. All your efforts now are ultimately in vain."

"No need for you to worry, senior."

Xiao Yu drew his bow and shot out a white arrow.

-92!

Xiao Yu, with his level 5 Golden Silk Bow and max-level Assault Arrow skill, still managed to deal less than 100 damage, which shows just how abnormally strong his defense is.

"Looks like we need to get a better bow!"

but.

In comparison.

This also demonstrates just how powerful Sun Tzu's offensive capabilities were.

The resentful mountain god Gongsun Sheng could no longer maintain his body and once again shattered into dust, from which a green sphere of trophy burst forth.

He's really dead.

The old channel also displayed an announcement.

[The chosen one "Xiao Yu" has achieved the first kill against the corrupted historical figure "Gongsun Sheng, the Mountain God of Resentment," gaining 25 points of world luck!]

The battle is over.

Xiao Yu checked Sun Wu's energy consumption.

I took a look at Sun Tzu's situation.

It only consumed about twenty mental energy points.

This amount of mental energy wasn't even enough to use the Supreme Military Manual once, yet it managed to kill a genuine Level 5 Lord!

Not bad.

This amount of energy expenditure can be fully recovered while fighting.

[You have collected the following loot: Soul Essence +460, Mountain God of Hatred Shield Fragment +1, Green Heroic Spirit Essence +1, Green Forging Stone +1, Millennium Cold Iron +3!]

"The drops are rather ordinary..."

The Mountain God Shield of Resentment is a very strong green-grade shield, but it only drops one equipment fragment. At least three fragments are needed as core materials to craft the equipment.

Green Spirit Essence and Green Forging Stone are very useful.

However, the number of leaked data is rather small.

As for the millennium-old cold iron?

A green, high-quality material that can be broken down to extract its essence and is also widely applicable to the refining of green equipment.

It fell down.

But it's okay.

There are still treasure chests, aren't there?

[You have opened the Nightmare Treasure Chest. You have obtained: Gongsun Sheng's Divination Tortoise Shell +1, Green Deep Sea Stone +2, and Green Soul Stone +5!]

Huh?

There is named equipment!

[Gongsun Sheng's Divination Tortoise Shell], low-grade green, special equipment, with the skill "Desperate Divination", durability 10.

[Desperate Divination], a green-quality skill, consumes 100 Soul Essence to perform a divination or prayer.

A very special skill!

Each activation consumes cultivation points.

However, the effect is also very unique.

"Divination" can be used to sense the approximate location of a specific target, or to predict the approximate fortune of an action.

It's equivalent to fortune telling.

"Blessing" is not for use on people, but is specifically for refining weapons, medicines, and spirits, and can increase the success rate of production activities up to the level of green quality.

It's equivalent to a blessing.

Very useful to Xiao Yu!

I also got two green-grade deep-sea gems and five green soul stones. Overall, the harvest was pretty good!

Open your personal panel.

The current energy level is 895/900.

The conditions for upgrading from level 6 to level 7 will be met soon.

However, according to Xiao Yu's plan, he intends to first upgrade Sun Wu to level 4, and then break through to level 7 himself.

Why?

This dungeon run is over.

Both upgrades can be completed.

It's just a matter of an hour or two in the morning and evening.

Upgrading Sun Tzu first can speed up dungeon runs, allowing you to farm more monsters and obtain more resources.

For epic-level heroes.

With each level increase, all attributes will improve by leaps and bounds, resulting in an immediate and noticeable improvement in overall strength!

This is Xiao Yu's hidden trump card.

The stronger Sun Tzu's power, the deeper Xiao Yu's foundation will be, and the more redundant power will be available in the future to deal with the threats or various challenges from believers.

"If Sun Tzu could reach level 5."

"An epic-level talent of destiny will begin to awaken."

"In this way, I can have an additional super-powerful growth talent on top of my own talents."

Xiao Yu thought so.

But he also had to admit it.

Although he possessed the body of a saint.

However, raising epic heroes is still a bit difficult.

He wants to train Sun Wu to level 5, but even with all the resources he invests, it will still take at least three to five days!

"Boss!"

"We've found the entrance!"

Lu Dahai ran over to report, his face beaming with excitement.

Each of the three temples of the Resentful Mountain God has a hidden teleportation buoy that can directly teleport you into the main storyline dungeon "Gusu Demon Palace".

When Xiao Yu triggered the teleportation buoy.

Three teleportation directions appeared before us.

The Gusu Demon Palace is very large. The chosen ones can choose one of three routes, and the end of all routes is the Fuchai BOSS battle at Gusu Terrace.

However, they do not intersect along the way.

The enemies on each route are different, so the tactics required to fight them are also different. They can be divided into the south route, the east route, and the west route according to their direction.

The eastern and western routes are simpler.

You only need to fight two mini-bosses at most.

The south route is the main entrance route and is the most difficult, where you can encounter up to three mini-bosses.

Do I even need to think about it?

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.

In order not to waste the high drop rate of the dungeon, Xiao Yu didn't hesitate to choose to enter the southern route without even thinking.

……

Wang Yang and Su Qingmeng received a notification that they had cleared the level, and naturally saw the server-wide announcement of their defeat of the corrupted being.

It only just dawned on me.

"What's going on?"

"We were only fighting the corrupted avatar."

"Even a clone possesses the strength of a level 5 rare elite? The true form of the corrupted Gongsun Sheng must be a level 5 lord!"

"They resolved it in such a short time?"

Wang Yang's team is also good.

Su Qingmeng's team, it doesn't matter.

Right now, I only have one thought in my mind.

Damn, is he cheating? Is Xiao Yu even human? How can anyone else compete if he doesn't cheat?

A teleportation buoy appears.

After understanding the three routes.

Su Qingmeng made a decision.

"Even a corrupt and evil Gongsun Sheng is so difficult to deal with."

"It's no longer a question of whether or not we can beat Xiao Yu!"

"With just the four of us storming into the Demon Palace of Gusu, it's questionable whether we'll even survive to see King Fuchai!"

There is no choice.

Although I don't like Wang Yang.

However, it must be admitted that the level 3 Helu Heroic Spirit is much more powerful than the Shadow Corruption King!

The two teams joined forces.

Only then can one have a chance of winning.

It is also the only chance to defeat the Great Demon King Xiao!

Xiao Yu is already firmly the number one chosen one in Suiyang.

If they can't turn the tide again, the gap will likely widen further.
