[Mission Requirements: Rescue the enslaved humans within Blackrock Fortress by any means necessary and ensure their successful integration into our faction.]
[Mission Rewards: All players participating in this rescue mission will receive a base reward of 100 gold coins, with additional rewards depending on the number of players rescued.]
Upon seeing the pop-up panel, the two brothers, Peak and Madman, were completely stunned.
"One hundred gold coins?"
In the private chat channel, Dianfeng let out a nearly broken cry of surprise.
"Bro, am I seeing things? One hundred gold coins per person? This hidden quest is so generous, we're rich!"
At this moment, the two brothers were unaware that the so-called 100 gold coins were actually just scraps left over after the system and Xu Tian had secretly taken a large portion of the fees.
The real bulk of the rewards have long since ended up in the pockets of the middlemen.
Even so, within this player community, this is still an unexpected windfall that is hard to refuse.
At the peak of his mind, still thinking that this task was an absolute steal, he stared thoughtfully at the task description on the panel.
"As long as players participate, they can receive a base salary of 100 gold coins."
Peak was secretly making plans in his mind.
"There are tens of thousands of human slaves in this Blackrock Fortress. Relying on our charlatan tricks is not only too slow, but if we make too much of a show, the orc nobles will definitely become suspicious."
"Our sect of the God of the Thief Crown is currently lacking a few fanatical priests and extras to maintain appearances and provide assistance."
Thinking of this, Feng Dian's eyes lit up, and the idea of making a fortune with his brothers instantly took shape.
Without any hesitation, he immediately opened the private chat channel for friends in the system's view and found several players far away at the base.
[Peak: Old Cat, how's the situation back at the territory? Did you kill that giant basilisk that charged towards our home?]
Soon, Chen Xu replied from the other end of the channel.
[Little Cat: Don't even mention it, that snake monster is a monster. It went berserk on our outer defense line, killing countless of our resurrected players. The equipment dropped on the ground is almost piled up like a mountain.]
However, that guy seemed to have just been passing by. He probably figured killing us low-level players wasn't worthwhile, and he hadn't gotten any real loot, so he turned around and swam into the fog. The defense line is safe for now, and everyone is busy repairing the damaged fortifications.
Seeing that the base was safe, Dianfeng was completely relieved and immediately launched a decoy.
[Peak: Now that everything's alright at home, let's get this over with! I've got a hidden quest that's incredibly lucrative, wanna join? As long as you participate, everyone gets at least 100 gold coins upon completion.]
[Kitten: Holy crap? One hundred gold coins? Really? You didn't get kidnapped and forced to mine coal at Blackrock Fortress, are you trying to trick us into being your scapegoats?]
[Peak: Why would I lie to you? Madman and I are already in the central square of Blackrock Keep. We pulled off a big operation, and now all the orcs in the city are treating us like gods.]
However, for the large-scale relocation of humans, we still need a few clever extras to act with us and make this grand spectacle of a god descending to earth go smoothly. As long as you act well and cooperate with us to transport the people away, 100 gold coins are guaranteed in your hands. You definitely won't lose out.
[Kitten: Goodness, acting is my forte! Let's do it!]
[Peak: OK, I'll find an excuse to get out of these orcs' sight for a while and find a secluded room to put the Ender Chest. Oh, and before I come over, I need to get a piglin head from the warehouse to wear. This city is full of orcs, and if I don't disguise myself, I'll be mistaken for a slave as soon as I show my face.]
[Kitten: I understand]
After dealing with Chen Xu, Dianfeng looked at the contact list and sent the same message to the remaining veteran players, including Chushiwan Niuniu and Chujian.
Faced with the irresistible temptation of one hundred gold coins, the answers were surprisingly consistent: all were unequivocally in their desire to receive them.
"Hehe, the makeshift team is all set up. Now it's time to let these uncivilized barbarians see what pyramid scheme brainwashing is all about."
Peak has turned off the communication panel.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of Blackrock Fortress.
Inside the massive underground arena, soaked in blood, the atmosphere had reached its peak since the start of the competition.
At this moment, Xu Tian, with his ability to summon iron golems, was practically wreaking havoc on this stage where physical strength was the only factor to be tested.
He fought his way through the competition, smashing all those so-called warrior bearmen and orcs into mincemeat, and effortlessly swept through all the matches, directly reaching the highly anticipated semi-final stage.
Just as he was resting with his eyes closed in the waiting area, he suddenly heard a system notification.
Xu Tian slightly opened his eyes, brought up the panel and glanced at it, discovering that it was the hidden quest called [Plague and Cholera Blackrock Fortress].
Below the quest panel, it is clearly displayed that the triggerers are the brothers Peak and Madman.
He glanced at the details of the task, and then without hesitation, he made a move in the background to officially issue the participation quota and reward mechanism for the task to those two guys.
"Plague and cholera..."
Xu Tian raised an eyebrow slightly, hidden beneath the Pig Spirit Mask, as he looked at those four words.
"This biological attack method is indeed something that Peak and Madman are capable of doing."
Chapter 188: More than one?
Xu Tian chuckled to himself.
The commotion those two guys made outside is perfect for drawing all of Blackrock Fortress's attention, making it easier for me to slip away unscathed with the reward later.
Xu Tian pulled himself out of his thoughts and turned his gaze to the noisy arena outside.
At this point, he had successfully advanced to the final round.
Meanwhile, on the sand, another semi-final battle was underway: a lion warrior covered in golden fur was facing off against a massive tiger-headed man covered in black stripes.
The battle did not last long.
The tiger-headed man was clearly far superior to the lion warrior; his movements were as swift as lightning.
With a piercing scream, the battle ended abruptly.
The winner was the man with the tiger head.
He stepped on the mangled corpse of the lion warrior and let out a tiger's roar that shook the entire arena.
Then, the tiger-headed man turned around, his yellow vertical pupils, filled with murderous desire, pierced through the swirling dust and stared intently at Xu Tian in the waiting area at the edge of the stands.
Immediately afterwards, the tiger-headed man raised his blood-stained claw and made a provocative decapitation gesture towards Xu Tian's neck.
Faced with such a low-level provocation, Xu Tian was speechless. He simply looked away and ignored the guy who was about to become a corpse.
Soon, the goat-man commentator on the platform announced loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, warriors of Blackrock Fortress, the most exciting moment has arrived."
"The final round has officially begun."
"Standing on the left side of the sand is our invincible general of the arena, the absolute overlord who has won the 69th, 70th and 71st championships in a row, Hu Xiaotian."
The entire arena erupted in cheers, with countless orcs chanting Tiger Roar's name wildly.
"And standing on the right side of the sand is our biggest dark horse in this competition. With his unprecedented summoning skills, he won all the way and entered the finals without bloodshed. He is number 95, Zhu Shitian."
As the commentator spoke, the voices in the stands became somewhat complex.
There were boos, but more people were curious about the unknown summoning method.
"Both sides, please come up on stage and fight to the death."
As the gate slowly rose, Xu Tian and Hu Xiaotian, one on the left and one on the right, walked with completely different steps to the center of the arena, which had been stained dark red with blood.
The two stood facing each other, thirty meters apart.
At this moment, Hu Xiaotian's muscles bulged, and he casually pulled a two-meter-long sword from the weapon rack and slung it over his shoulder.
He glanced contemptuously at Xu Tian's rather thin cloak, a smirk spreading across his face as he let out a mocking laugh.
"Kid, I admit that the steel monster you conjured out of thin air is very strong, and you do have some skill in making it, but that thing is clumsy."
Hu Xiaotian pointed the tip of his knife at Xu Tian, his tone filled with arrogant superiority.
"That piece of junk might scare those brainless idiots, but you can never beat me. My speed will cut your pig head off before that iron lump can even react. I advise you to obediently kneel down and admit defeat, and go back to your pigsty, so as not to dirty my knife."
Xu Tian ignored Hu Xiaotian's incessant chatter.
He lowered his head slightly, his wrist flicking beneath his cloak.
"boom!"
He placed a piece of iron steadily on the sand in front of him.
Then came the second piece, and the third piece.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With practiced ease, Xu Tian began to quickly lay out the structure that everyone was already very familiar with on the sand.
Seeing this, Hu Xiaotian, who was on the opposite side, not only did not step forward to stop it, but instead planted his long sword on the ground, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and watched Xu Tian operate.
Having watched the match for so long, he naturally knew that this was a prelude to Xu Tian summoning that steel monster.
"Hmph, a death throes. I'll let you summon it and let you watch with your own eyes how I bypass it and cut off your head."
Hu Xiaotian sneered inwardly.
however.
The next second, Hu Xiaotian's smile froze.
The tens of thousands of orc spectators in the stands, who were ready to watch the show, all widened their eyes instantly.
Because after Xu Tian set up a T-shaped structure, he did not stop his movements as he had done in previous matches. Instead, he immediately took a step to the side and flipped his wrist again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Another new T-shaped iron block structure appeared on the sand.
"what's the situation?"
Hu Xiaotian was stunned; his not-so-bright orc brain couldn't quite grasp the situation for a moment.
"Why is he still setting it up? Isn't he supposed to only summon one of these things at a time?"
In everyone's understanding, such a method of summoning such terrifying combat power must require an extremely large amount of mental energy or some kind of price to pay, and being able to summon even one is already the limit.
However, Xu Tian on the field was like a bottomless pit.
"boom!"
He frantically placed iron blocks around his position in a circular defensive formation.
Ten!
