Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

Xiao Yu activated Nightmare Teleportation.

When the brief feeling of suffocation from falling into the deep sea disappeared, the surroundings became clear from the chaos.

"This is……"

Jiang Xiaoxia, Lu Dahai, and Zhao Gang were all dumbfounded and extremely shocked by what they saw.

A towering mountain stands before us.

This is ten times higher than the old Gusu Mountain in Suiyang, and the surrounding environment has undergone a shocking change.

Mount Gusu is almost carbonized.

The trees' inky surfaces, along with the mountainside, were covered in scorch marks, as if flames were raging within them, and scalding ash floated in the air.

Some areas have already fractured.

The area was engulfed in flames and sprayed so intensely that it was impassable.

This mountain gives the impression of a huge piece of smoldering charcoal, with astonishing energy suppressed within it that could erupt at any moment.

It is covered with luxurious buildings.

These buildings are mostly bizarre yet magnificent, possessing both the style of the Warring States period and a sense of the strangeness and incongruity of the distorted history of the deep sea.

A cloud of ashes drifted in the wind.

Everyone clearly felt the pollution was growing at an alarming rate, and at the same time, many remnants and echoes of history could be seen in the ashes.

Lu Dahai couldn't help but say, "This mountain is too high! We can't climb it in a short time, and we simply don't have enough time in this instance!"

"Don't worry, every Deep Sea Nightmare is subject to the power of Heaven's will, there is no dungeon that is completely hopeless to clear."

Suzhou Magic Mountain looks big.

However, it can be divided into three areas: the foot of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the top of the mountain.

It's like the number of layers of the royal tombs in the ruins of Yingdu.

Once you pass through the corresponding area, you can be teleported to the next area without having to go through the trouble of climbing the mountain yourself.

As long as the efficiency is reasonable.

There will definitely be enough time.

There is a mini-boss in each of the three areas of the southern route of Gusu Demon Mountain.

They are respectively "Bloodstained Loyal General - Wangsun Luo", "Soul-Eating Grand Tutor - Bo Pi", and "Phantom Enchantress - Zheng Dan".

They are all level 5 lords!

Their strength is superior to that of Gongsun Sheng.

After traversing the three major areas, the chosen ones can enter the final BOSS battlefield to challenge the wrathful demon Fuchai.

"Let's get started!"

The foot area of ​​the southern route of Gusu Magic Mountain mainly consists of military camp gate towers and garrison buildings, which are traversed by a wide imperial road.

Three major regions.

The area at the foot of the mountain has the most monsters.

Two types of monsters will appear here.

The first type is called "Wu Kingdom Demon Soldiers," which is a level 5 common monster, mainly distributed in the gate towers and military camps along the royal road.

The second type is called "Wu Kingdom Demon Cavalry," which is a level 5 elite monster that will suddenly and randomly appear to launch a sneak attack, making it difficult to defend against.

After on-site reconnaissance and intelligence comparison.

Xiao Yu understood.

"This place looks big, but it's not complicated or too difficult. You just need to cross this main road to reach the end of the area."

Lu Dahai: "That simple?"

Sun Tzu said from the side, "Although it seems simple, this route is suitable for an ambush; you must not be careless!"

Jiang Xiaxia quickly said, "Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Xie!"

The identity of the blue-robed hero remains a mystery, but as his combat abilities are gradually revealed, it is only a matter of time before his true identity is guessed.

Xiao Yu didn't care.

Sun Tzu will be heavily involved in dungeon crawling, monster hunting, and even daily activities in the future, so it's inevitable that those who get close to him will know of his existence.

Why choose three people as subordinates?

Their abilities are actually not very strong.

At this stage, loyalty is more important than ability!

Insufficient ability?

It can be cultivated gradually.

Xia Tian is kind-hearted, Gangzi is upright and loyal, and Lu Dahai is someone you know very well; their loyalty and reliability are beyond question.

Even if they knew of Sun Wu's existence in the future, they would strictly keep it a secret and would never cause Xiao Yu any unnecessary trouble.

Just as Sun Tzu predicted.

This road, being the only way up the mountain, is riddled with dangerous traps and ambushes, some of which are quite cunning.

It's useless.

Before the all-knowing eye.

No amount of careful planning will make a difference.

Besides, this team is strong and powerful enough!

Zhao Gang, with his defense fully activated, can withstand the attack of a level 5 lord for a short time, while Lu Dahai, with his full burst of damage, can instantly kill ordinary monsters of the same level.

Jiang Xiaoxia has strong support abilities.

These three, along with their respective heroic spirits, are enough to withstand all kinds of dangers if they cooperate well.

Xiao Yu maintained constant pressure with arrows.

Sun Tzu wields the Blade of the Corrupted Dragon in close combat.

With everyone working together, the enemy was instantly killed as soon as they showed their face.

[You have collected loot: Soul Essence +18, Gusu Ashes +1, Gray Soul Stone +2!]

[You have collected loot: Soul Essence +18, Gusu Ashes +1, Gray Soul Stone +4!]

【…】

[You have collected loot: Soul Essence +46, Black Iron Horse Bone +1, White Soul Stone +2!]

[You have collected loot: Soul Essence +46, Cavalry Spear +1, White Soul Stone +2!]

【…】

Each Wu Kingdom demon soldier can produce 18 units of essence.

They appear in organized formations, capable of both long-range attacks and ambushes, as well as forming battle arrays. Especially with the enhancements from the deep sea, the difficulty is by no means low.

Each Wu Kingdom Demon Rider can produce 46 essence.

Although elite monsters are relatively few in number, they always appear in groups of three to five and possess a charge attack that allows them to advance instantly, making them a formidable threat due to their high mobility.

however.

For Xiao Yu's team.

Small monsters are emerging in waves in a dense manner.

It is undoubtedly an excellent place to level up!

Xiao Yu not only eliminated all the demon soldiers and cavalry that appeared on the main road, but he also cleared out the nearby camps and strongholds several times, just to kill more monsters and gain more experience.

The results are amazing!

After a battle...

The harvested essence and energy amounted to over 2000.

This time, Xia, Dahai, and Zhao Gang's essence and energy distribution ratio is 15%, which means that each person can get about 300 essence and energy.

That's a considerable sum.

Xia decisively spent 150 essence points to upgrade both "Chu's Grace" and "Qin's Wedding Dress" to level 2.

Zhao Gang upgraded Nangwa Heroic Spirit to level 3 and Greed Shield to level 2, greatly enhancing his overall strength.

As for Lu Dahai?

His necromancer spirit is already level 4.

As a white-quality Servant, it is relatively easy to train, and there is currently no need to continue training it.

As for Heroic Spirit Techniques?

Lu Dahai only needs fire magic.

However, necromancers do not have fire skills.

At Xiao Yu's suggestion, Lu Dahai directly upgraded, and his level officially rose from level 5 to level 6!

of course.

Although both are level 6.

But compared to Wang Yang and Su Qingmeng.

His level 6 is a bit too weak!

The lack of cultivation skills and powerful heroic spirits does not mean it is all for show.

The talent "Blessing of Flames".

It's highly correlated with the grade!

Lu Dahai's fire attribute damage has been greatly increased.

He also has a green-named magic attack weapon boost.

At this moment, a single mental fireball had already dealt 60-70% of the damage of Xiao Yu's max-level Assault Arrow.

To know.

The Assault Arrow has a long cooldown.

The Spirit Fireball has a short cooldown and extremely low energy consumption.

If the same aggression is added, such as a fire curse, it will amplify the effect.

The fat man's mental fireball will be just as powerful and lethal as the assault arrow, and may even be slightly stronger. The only advantage the latter has left is its range.

That's one way to put it.

Lu Dahai's current output capability.

He consistently ranks among the top ten among all those destined for heaven in Suiyang.

[Soul Essence - 1750!]

Your "Sun Tzu, the Master of War" hero spirit level has increased to level 4!

at this time.

Xiao Yu did not hesitate.

The Heroic Spirits were upgraded as planned.

The moment Sun Wu completed his breakthrough in cultivation.

Everyone present could clearly feel that the aura of this scholar-general in blue robes had suddenly increased dramatically, almost by an order of magnitude compared to before!

If we say that a level 3 Sun Tzu, without using his natal soul weapon, could easily defeat a level 5 lord with just the four spells and a corrupted dragon blade.

Now you can at least fight level 7 lords!

The increase in strength is immediate!

After Sun Tzu's upgrade and breakthrough, the Supreme Art of War unlocks a new skill called "Crossing the Sea Under Cover of Darkness"!

The already powerful overall abilities of the Heroic Spirits have taken another leap forward!

As far as Xiao Yu knew, this skill was extremely useful!
