Ancient Ark: A Dark-Themed Historical Survival Game

On the eastern route of the Gusu Demon Mountain, the eight chosen ones fought a fierce battle and finally defeated the corrupted BOSS "Iron-Boned Demon General Zhan Ru" at the last moment!

Two evil deeds were eradicated.

The loot output is pretty good.

At this moment, however, no one could laugh.

Wang Yang and Su Qingmeng realized that they had spent too much time and were far behind schedule, so they tried to avoid unnecessary battles in the second area.

Even if you find the BOSS immediately, the speed of launching the challenge via the shortest path is still far too slow.

at this time.

Pollution levels are generally as high as 90% to 95%!

The Gusu Terrace, standing atop the mountain, was ultimately out of reach, but what was even more awe-inspiring than the Gusu Terrace was that man!

Eight people.

With the strength of nine oxen and two tigers.

Without clearing the entire map.

They barely managed to kill two evil ones.

Xiao Yu, with only three men, wiped out three corrupted beings and even defeated the final boss, Fuchai, all in a shorter time than they had...

"Is he even human?"

"How on earth did they do that?!"

"Zhan Ru and Xu Menchao are already so powerful, having exhausted all our supplies and trump cards. I can hardly imagine how powerful Fuchai must become!"

"..."

At this moment, no matter who they are, no matter how unwilling they are, they have to admit that Xiao Yu is the undisputed number one chosen one in Suiyang.

The gap is bigger than I imagined!

Su Qingmeng said, "This time he not only beat us, but he also made us owe him a favor."

Wang Yang nodded: "If Xiao Yu hadn't stopped and waited for fifteen minutes, we wouldn't have been able to kill the evil Zhan Ru in time."

After others learned about the situation...

They couldn't help but feel more respect for Xiao Yu.

This guy is not only exceptionally strong, but also a person with a broad mind and a grand vision. Losing to someone like him doesn't seem so frustrating.

"Alright, everyone, cheer up. We didn't win this time, but it was still a valuable operation."

Wang Yang stepped forward at this moment to boost morale.

"We successfully hunted down two historical villains, and the gains were quite substantial; these achievements and gains are truly real."

"We participated in the entire process of exploring the nightmare of the Gusu Demon Palace, which is meaningful to the Chosen Ones and the old Suiyang."

"While we must acknowledge the gap between ourselves and Xiao Yu, we must also recognize that we have only been in the old world for half a month, and we are growing and improving every day."

"We won't stay behind forever!"

Li Zihao and Liu Xing were both inspired to fight.

Yang Yong nodded and said, "Shame is the mother of courage; we need to work even harder!"

……

In this regard.

Zhao Xuezhu also expressed her agreement.

"Qingmeng, the future is long, and everyone has unlimited potential."

She said to Su Qingmeng, "Take this time for example, if it weren't for you finding Zhan Ru's weakness, Qingmeng, we might not have had time to achieve this important victory!"

Su Qingmeng heard this.

His expression, however, was somewhat strange.

She glanced at the panel without making a sound.

This contains private correspondence between Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu.

The last private message Xiao Yu sent was an analysis and hints about the corrupt Zhan Ru, which inspired Su Qingmeng to kill Zhan Ru at the last moment.

in other words.

The kill was successful.

Xiao Yu also deserves credit.

Su Qingmeng owed Xiao Yu a favor in private.

"Just how powerful is Xiao Yu? How did he know Zhan Ru's weakness? What exactly is this guy's talent...?"

Other than that.

Su Qingmeng still had one question.

"Why would he help me secretly? He could have easily chosen Wang Yang, who is stronger, or told both of us this information at the same time."

Could it be that Xiao Yu has feelings for me?

The idea was rejected as soon as it came to mind!

Su Qingmeng was indeed very confident in her charm, but even Wang Yang would not be swayed by such a superficial reason, let alone Xiao Yu.

The most reasonable explanation is...

The previous evil Xu Menchao was killed by Wang Yang. Xiao Yu intentionally let the evil Zhan Ru die at the hands of Su Qingmeng in order to balance the influence of the second echelon.

"This guy is really something else..."

Su Qingmeng couldn't help but admire Xiao Yu.

She wanted to compete for the captain's position, make a name for herself in the deep sea, and see a wider world, but now that idea was beginning to waver.

Even if you become a captain.

Can he really do better than Xiao Yu?

This guy's leadership qualities and charisma far surpass those of Wang Yang and himself.

Rather than be defeated by him later...

Perhaps joining as a startup partner or initial shareholder early on would be a better choice!

Zhao Xuezhu: "Qingmeng, what are you thinking about?"

Su Qingmeng temporarily put aside her distracting thoughts: "I have successfully absorbed Zhan Ru and leveled up the Heroic Spirit skill to the maximum level. With my current mental strength, I can summon this level 5 lord."

Zhao Xuezhu, Huang Hui, and Luo Ting were overjoyed upon hearing this.

The Shadow Corruptor's attack power is still a bit weak. If it could summon a level 5 lord, its strength would undoubtedly be even greater.

Wang Yang has also made significant progress.

His spirit of Helü has reached level 4.

As he said, although they were utterly defeated by Xiao Yu, if we look at the competition itself, everyone has made significant progress and gained something.

……

When the news spread that the Chosen One had severed the Nightmare's corruption, the entire city of Suiyang was invigorated, and all the major powers were shocked.

did not expect.

The chosen one has only been here for half a month.

Three of the five nightmares that have plagued the people of Suiyang for a century have been successfully eliminated!

While the vast majority were overjoyed, a small minority were enraged.

At this moment.

The Hua family's secret chamber.

Several high-ranking members of the Hua family held a secret meeting.

They were not only high-ranking figures in the Hua family, but also important members of the Evil Eye Cult, with the head of the family, Hua Ding, naturally being the leader.

"Damn Chosen One!"

A burly, middle-aged man roared in fury: "Xiong Heng and Ji Ling are utterly useless! How could they let the Chosen One enter Gusu Mountain so easily!"

Hua Ding's expression was equally gloomy.

"I had considered that Fuchai might not be able to withstand the combined forces of the Chosen Ones, but I never expected him to be defeated so easily. These people have grown too fast; they cannot be allowed to live!"

"Wang Yang and Su Qingmeng have considerable potential and will undoubtedly become a major threat in the future, but they do not currently possess the ability to pose a threat. Only Xiao Yu is a threat that urgently needs to be eliminated immediately!"

"..."

The other believers all agreed.

"Although we don't yet know what abilities or fortuitous encounters this chosen one possesses, the strength of his abilities and the speed of his growth have become the biggest variables."

"Kill him!"

"At all costs!"

Even if all of us are exposed.

"We'd do anything to kill him!"

"..."

These believers were almost fanatical.

Or perhaps they were just a bunch of lunatics.

Even Hua Ding, who held the highest position, would not hesitate to stand up and perish together with Xiao Yu!

"A tsunami is imminent."

"Lord Wu Zixu is about to personally land."

"We must conserve our strength for support as much as possible."

Hua Geng then said, "Xiao Yu has agreed to attend the Song clan's forbidden area celebration three days from now. This will be an excellent opportunity to strike!"

Xiao Yu is usually very cautious.

Each time he went to hunt monsters in the wild, he would not stay near Suiyang, but would teleport to a more distant place multiple times, and he would not stay there for too long.

Therefore, it is difficult to find a suitable opportunity to make a move.

The Song clan celebration was indeed the perfect time, since the Song clan's forbidden area was not within Suiyang City, and it just so happened to be the main venue managed by the Hua clan.

"Hmph, then let's wait three more days. In just three days, I doubt he can cause any trouble!"

……

The Lord's Mansion of Suiyang City.

The group reported back to Lord Suiyang.

Xiao Yu was taken to the backyard alone.

He walked through an unassuming archway, then through a path shrouded in white mist, and finally arrived at a simple courtyard.

"Indeed, you kept your word. With the threat from Gusu Mountain gone, the pressure on Suiyang has been greatly reduced."

Fan Li was very satisfied with Xiao Yu's efficiency.

"I have a few decent pieces of equipment; let's choose one as the reward for this mission!"

"I don't want equipment."

Xiao Yu refused the reward outright.

Fan Li was taken aback: "Then what do you want? Materials? Medicine? Or soul stones? As long as it meets the criteria, just ask!"

"I don't want these things either!"

Xiao Yu stated directly, "The Song Clan's forbidden area celebration is in three days. I request Elder Fan to perform a service for me in exchange for the reward from this mission!"

Given the prestige of this mission, Fan Li is prepared to offer at least high-quality green equipment, or even blue-quality supplies as a reward.

But compared to these.

Xiao Yu knew even better what he wanted.

Hua Ding, that old scoundrel, is actually at the level of a top-tier level 10 lord, similar to Lord Suiyang, Sima Geng. With his current strength, he definitely can't defeat him.

Moreover, there will be more than one believer present at the time.

The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

Xiao Yu had long planned to turn the tables and capture them all in one fell swoop, so he wanted to exchange the material reward for this mission for Fan Li's promise to help him once.

The material reward for this mission is just enough for Fan Li to make one move, and the promise made in this way is bound by the rules of Heaven.

"Interesting. You seem to have a grand plan. Although I'm in poor condition right now, I'm willing to step in for you just to see this good show!"

【Ding! 】

[Task completed!]

[You have completed the mission. You have gained 1000 "Soul Essence" and 1 "Fan Li's Employment Contract"!]

well

That's it!
