Chapter 1117: Chapter 768 Task Begins

Little Red Riding Hood moved closer to Li Changhe and reached out to take his hand.

Naturally, the one wearing the Red Cap Mercenary Set was Xiao Nan; she quite liked this outfit. When not using her official identity, she would wear this set to conceal who she was.

And that muscular man dressed as a Western cowboy was none other than Brother Dong.

During the sanatorium task, Brother Dong had sneaked into the mission wearing this getup. Just looking at him in that outfit made one fear he would announce that high noon had arrived.

The cowboy approached Li Changhe and asked in [Friends], "I heard you’ve been drilling our colleagues lately. When are you going to spar with me?"

"Definitely next time, definitely next time, Brother Dong!" Li Changhe responded in friends, well aware that Brother Dong had always been itchy for a group beatdown. He naturally wouldn’t take the bait.

"I knew someone tipped you off!" Yang Dong fumed inwardly. He had been busy with various matters these past few days. As soon as he was free and heard that Li Changhe was training colleagues, he rushed without stopping to the training base. Yet, he always perfectly missed him. Clearly, someone was tipping him off.

Sometimes Yang Dong sneakily went there, only to be slipped away from by Li Changhe.

All Yang Dong could do was lament that in the team, everyone was an elbow turning outward.

Then, Yang Dong continued, "Enough said, be careful. This task has indeed attracted quite a few troublesome fellows."

With that, he glanced in a certain direction.

Li Changhe followed his gaze, and there was a Caucasian bald man with a shaven head, wearing a black cloak and not hiding his face.

The bald man was exceedingly thin, like a clothes rack draped in attire, and his bald head was covered in eerie runes. A certain kind of smile hung on his lips, giving off a chilly vibe.

It was unclear whether he had already disguised himself or was just extremely confident, not bothering to conceal his face at all.

The players nearby, however, kept their distance from him, very vigilant.

"Who is that..." Li Changhe inquired.

"He has never come to Hua Country, so you probably aren’t too familiar with him. But in the US and Canada region, he’s notoriously dangerous." Xiao Nan explained in [Friends], "A highly dangerous person who has killed over a hundred players. A hunter, Voldemort."

"Voldemort? Where is Neville Longbottom then?" Li Changhe couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Don’t underestimate him. He’s killed way too many strong players, including some high up on the Battle Power Rankings. He’s the coldest of assassins, striking most brutally when you least expect it," Yang Dong warned, "With him around in a task, everyone needs to be on high alert. Thus, he’s also hailed as one of the most dangerous assassins. He never hides his face, wanting to see the fear in his opponents."

"Got it." Although Li Changhe had played around with a reference, he wouldn’t underestimate his opponent. This Voldemort was obviously not an easy target. Assassin type players... can be tough to deal with.

"However, I reckon he won’t live much longer," Yang Dong said in friends.

"What do you mean?"

"Although he hasn’t been to Hua Country, he is still one of the nastiest wanted criminals. The officials of all countries have an obligation to eliminate this bastard." Yang Dong responded, "Not sure about other countries, but here, we already have a scumbag eying him."

"Scumbag... okay. I got it!" Li Changhe instantly understood, thinking this might actually be a case of fighting magic with magic, right?

Then, Yang Dong looked in another direction.

"As for her, I reckon she will be a strong competitor in this theft of rankings," Yang Dong said, "I really didn’t expect her to participate in this Hundred Generals Trial Sword. And she’s not even concealing her identity. Wouldn’t those Chaos Believers have set their sights on her directly?"

She was a female knight clad in white armor, with beautiful golden hair cascading down her shoulders. Her lovely face was filled with gentleness.

Compared to that previous Voldemort, she clearly gets along well with the players around her. Many players greeted her.

She clearly has a good relationship with various players.

"LV13 Battle Power Rankings leader, the King of Blood Riders," Xiao Nan introduced in [Friends], "She has killed two of the God’s Chosen, and defeated the Holder of the Round Table. Some players call her the strongest under the Demigods. In a way, her situation is similar to yours. Equally despised by the Evil God. After the disaster fog ended, she also said in the forums that she was very eager to have a match with you."

"The strongest under the Demigods? Uh... I’ve also defeated Holders. Just last night..." Li Changhe pinched Xiao Nan’s little hand, not surprisingly getting pinched in return by Xiao Nan.

Li Changhe grimaced in pain, while his gaze continued to sweep around.

He saw Qiu Wentian, the Moon God, and Big Iron Pestle.... Damn, better keep my distance!

Some players who recognized Big Iron Pestle also scrambled to put distance between themselves and him. Clearly, his streak of bad luck had become well-known among many people.

This left Big Iron Pestle tearfully speechless, struggling even to find a companion.

As another spearmen, the contrast between He Feng, surrounded by beautiful women, and the lonely Big Iron Pestle was striking.

Afterward, Li Changhe actually spotted a player who might have a lot to do with him.

It was a player clad in Great Tang steam armor. He wore black armor and a red cape.

His tall stature made him extremely conspicuous in the crowd.

"A Great Tang player?" Li Changhe was somewhat surprised. Although he knew the era of the Great Tang still existed, it had been less than a year since Li Changhe and the others had left. Could there already be a master skilled enough to climb the Battle Power Rankings? That was quick.

"Indeed, a Great Tang player. There aren’t many players from Great Tang, so each one has access to a massive amount of resources. One year is enough to cultivate a master who could rise on the Battle Power Rankings. Plus, they are easy to distinguish. After all, Great Tang players have a certain predilection," Yang Dong replied, "As for whom they’re imitating, you know better than I do, right?"

This was no longer a secret. There had been many complaints on the forums about Great Tang players, both male and female, who, after killing instance bosses, especially those enemies that had given them a hard time,

would find a wall to paint their foe onto.

If there was no wall, they would make one. This obsession was widely ridiculed by other players.

Li Changhe thought to himself that once inside, he would find an opportunity to interact with this Great Tang player. Incidentally, he’d ask how his cheap godfather was doing. For now, it was better not to approach. Too many eyes around.

However, there wasn’t much time for players to communicate.

A few minutes later, the Black Fog re-formed into a human shape and said to the players,

"Esteemed warriors, the time has come. The Hundred Generals Trial Sword officially begins now. Explore, fight, plunder, and prove your valor." The man in the suit spread his hands, "And I shall be waiting within Hundred Generals City, for you all!"

As soon as his words fell, all players turned into beams of white light and disappeared.

However, in the instant of teleportation, a strange shadow in the void stretched out a slender, inhuman arm....
