I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

"That lucky guy is going to die."

On a small hill not far from dawn, a boy was holding binoculars, watching the scene of the skeleton breaking into the wooden house.

Bai Ye is the son of the city lord of Chaobei City. He is about the same age as Li Ming and is also a challenger in this newbie trial instance.

His cubic stone was located at the foot of the hillside.

Unlike Liming, the conditions in Baiye are much better.

The city walls were completely enclosed, and the lights were bright. All kinds of basic living facilities were also provided.

When entering the instance, the positions of the 100 challengers will be randomly distributed, so Bai Ye has been paying attention to this "neighbor" who is closest to him since yesterday.

After observing for two days, he was fairly certain that the other party had not prepared any Heroic Spirit Cards in advance.

Such gambler behavior rarely succeeds, especially since the random dungeon world assigned to this newbie trial is the [Wasteland].

Without Heroic Spirits under his command, it is absolutely impossible to live to the last day.

【The Wasteland】This world may seem peaceful, but it is actually fraught with danger.

If this world is used as a trial dungeon for new players, then Chaobei City is a place where no new player has been able to clear it yet.

For newcomers who come here, simply surviving is considered a stroke of luck.

"I must have been lucky to avoid encountering any monsters last night."

"He will not survive if he faces the monster tonight."

Bai Ye put down his binoculars, a hint of emotion on his face.

If you choose to enter the instance, you must be prepared to die.

Fortunately, I was well prepared.

Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the heroic spirit beside him.

It was a ghost wolf whose entire body was made of blue light and whose fur was like burning fire.

In addition, there are two other cubes guarding the foot of the mountain, who are fighting back and forth with two sword-and-shield skeleton soldiers.

This is the Heroic Spirit he brought into the dungeon and summoned, a Tier 2 quality [Ghost Wolf].

"Unfortunately, this beginner dungeon only allows you to bring 3 Heroic Spirit Cards."

"The most important task now is to raise my own level and that of the Heroic Spirits as much as possible before the great calamity strikes."

"If we're lucky, it would be even better if we could get [Cube Stone Card], [Building Card], or [Heroic Spirit Card] from monsters."

"If I can get to that point, I might actually have a chance to go toe-to-toe with the Great Disaster and surprise those guys."

Bai Ye began to make plans.

……

At the same time, Dawn had two more Heroic Spirit Cards in her hand.

The moment I got my hands on it, the method of using it was automatically ingrained in my mind.

"quack!"

With the skeleton approaching with its knife raised, there was no time to waste.

Li Ming hurriedly got up, pushed open the door, and rushed out.

"Gah!"

As the skeleton chased after him, he wiped the blood from his face and quickly wrote the four-character name of the heroic spirit on the card.

He didn't know the specific scope of the "Heroic Spirits of China" he was referring to, and writing down this name at this moment was almost subconscious.

I believe that even if it were any other Chinese person, the vast majority would choose it without hesitation.

These four characters are indeed—【The Great Sage Equal to Heaven】!

[Would you like to consume 1 Huaxia Heroic Spirit Card to summon?]

"yes!"

As soon as he confirmed it, the energy vortex on the card immediately began to spin rapidly.

hum!

Suddenly, a burst of light erupted, and Li Ming involuntarily closed his eyes for a moment.

[Searching in the Hall of Heroes of China... Summoning successful.]

The information that popped into his mind filled him with joy.

She quickly opened her eyes again, only to be stunned once more.

The image on the card was no longer the chaotic energy vortex, but had turned into a large, mottled rock.

Information about this Heroic Spirit is clearly listed on the card.

[Stone Monkey]: Tier 1 LV1

[Stubborn Stone - Passive]: The stone monkey takes 20% less damage.

It's completely different from what I imagined!

However, the Great Sage's previous form was indeed a magical stone, so theoretically it wouldn't be wrong to call him a stone monkey.

"Let's give it a try."

With a hint of doubt, Dawn threw out the card, which transformed into a streak of light and landed in front of the skeleton.

After the light flashed, a rock about the height of a person appeared, vaguely resembling the shape of a crouching monkey.

Within the translucent blue light-infused material, a faint glow slowly flowed.

"Gah!"

The skeleton raised its knife and slashed at the stone monkey.

Heroic spirits are more attractive to monsters than living beings, so they usually attack them first.

A series of clanging sounds rang out, but the Stone Monkey was quite hard, and the skull's greatsword couldn't even leave a mark on its surface.

Good news, at least for now we're safe.

Bad news: the Stone Monkey really is just a stone.

He just takes the beatings without fighting back.

The night has only just begun, and since the first monster has invaded, it means there's a good chance there will be a second, a third...

How many of these stone monkeys can it withstand? Can it withstand them all night?

It's hard to say, but Leon Lai doesn't think it's optimistic.

"One more shot."

He then looked at the only remaining Heroic Spirit Card in his hand.

[Would you like to consume 1 Huaxia Heroic Spirit Card to summon?]

[Searching in the Hall of Heroes of China... Summoning successful.]

After the same light flashed, the card's design changed to a person's profile.

He wore a turquoise battle robe over red and gold armor, had a long beard that reached his chest, and held a Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

It was none other than the righteous and loyal Lord Guan Yu!

Guan Yu: Tier 1 LV1

[Exorcising Evil - Passive]: Guan Yu deals 30% more damage to evil-type enemies.

"Don't give me another stationary Guan Yu statue this time."

Dawn threw out the card again.

As the light touched the ground, a figure slowly rose into the air.

Guan Yu stood there, wielding his sword, his aura as imposing as a mountain.

Heroic spirits have no thoughts, but they possess a fighting spirit.

The moment he spotted the skeleton, he raised his gleaming blade high.

[Guan is here, prepare to die!]

The broadsword came down and easily cut the skeleton in two, as if slicing paper.

"quack!"

The skull head fell to the ground, let out a strange cry, and then turned into gray smoke and dissipated.

Afterwards, a bronze coin appeared on the ground, with a faint glimmer on its surface.

"That powerful?"

Even Dawn himself didn't expect that the skeleton would be so vulnerable in front of Guan Yu.

What happened next proved that what had just occurred was not a coincidence.

More skeletons continued to invade the territory, but none of them were a match for Guan Yu and were easily killed.

Clearly, this is a Heroic Spirit with extremely high attack power, and coupled with monsters like skeletons, it falls into the "evil spirit" category, which is precisely what it is countered by.

As time passed, when the first rays of sunlight rose, dawn felt an unprecedented warmth as it greeted the morning sun.

He survived.

Following this came a stream of information.

[28 days until the great disaster strikes.]

[Summoners surviving on this map: 100/100.]

[Milestone achieved: First night.]

[Next stage: Survive ten nights in the dungeon.]

[Obtained 1 Chinese Heroic Spirit Card and 1 Cube Upgrade Card.]
