Chapter 1118: Chapter 769: The Old Unlucky Guy

As 708 players were transported to the peripheral region of the Shangxia Continent, the Hundred Generals Trial Sword officially began.

The players needed to traverse through the dangerous areas in which they were situated, using various means to obtain the King’s Medal and head towards the City of Hundred Generals.

Therefore, many players immediately started to determine their positions and the locations of their potential teammates as soon as they landed.

Of course, this would also be the best opportunity for some players to take action.

For example, a player of a Different Race contacted his [Friends] saying, "I’ve already sensed my clan’s curse, judging from the direction, it should be the Sinful Forest... that must be Yang Dong. Let’s meet in the Sinful Forest to avenge our lord!"

"But... why is the curse I detected not from that direction?" a companion replied, "How many Yang Dongs are there among humans?"

As powerful apostles of the Sea Clan Demigod, they were players, but their information was not connected with the human players. As the officials intentionally helped someone to shoulder the pressure, Sea Clan players were not clear on the inside story.

"Hmph... it’s just a Disguise. Despicable humans," the Different Race player responded, "Since the opponent has disguised himself, next we should head towards the closest target. Kill them all! The Hundred Generals Trial Sword is not our wish; our goal is to avenge our lord!"

"Yes."

...

On the other hand, the head of the Black Palace branch was also determining his location. He first issued instructions for members from his region to rendezvous and then sent a message to Voldemort.

"Complete your Task and go to the fortress in Godfall Canyon. That is the path players must take through the canyon to get to Hundred Generals City. With your ability, you should be able to bypass those monsters and arrive fastest. As for me, I’ll arrive later with a few Holders."

"Hehehe, then I won’t ask whom you intend to kill," Voldemort responded with a chuckle, "After all, my pardon is issued by your hand. There’s no problem with me lending a hand in your dark deeds."

The Black Palace head didn’t care about Voldemort’s words; he knew that after this mission, his identity would be exposed whether he succeeded or not. When a believer of Chaos hidden within the official organization is discovered, his end would be extremely miserable. But even if it meant paying such a price, he was determined to complete the task given by his lord.

Then, he sent a message to his compatriots: "Everything is prepared on the Black Palace side. Anyone trying to reinforce that person will be intercepted by us. The rest is up to you."

...

While those guys were starting to move with their own sneaky plans, Li Changhe looked at the gloomy canyon before him, his mentality somewhat shattered.

Especially since through the Hawk Eye Magic Eye, he saw a familiar rifleman several kilometers away being chased and trampled by a group of tall knights.

Li Changhe’s mentality exploded even more.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Li Changhe expressed in agony, "How could my luck be as bad as Big Iron Pestle?"

He was transported into a gloomy valley and after using the Hawk Eye Magic Eye to observe the heavily armored knights roaming nearby, he realized where he had fallen.

Godfall Canyon...

In this Hundred Generals Trial Sword, it was recognized as the most dangerous map.

Overrun with formations of powerful knights, their rationality gradually eroded, their form distorted, yet they still retained an extremely strong combat instinct. They even possessed their original extraordinary abilities. In addition to their dense numbers, this made it the most perilous map.

Once delayed, one would be overwhelmed by the endless tide of enemies. Just like the unfortunate rifleman who entered the map and within less than a minute started being chased. How unlucky could you be? Li Changhe even wondered how he managed to attract the creatures.

It was indeed the most dangerous map, but, of course, it also had many advantages.

After all, there were a great number of fortresses, and where the enemies clustered, a lot of good things could be found as well.

Plus, it was the place where demigods had fallen, so despite the twisted curse pervading the whole area, one might have the chance to come into contact with Divinity.

If a player was highly compatible with this Divine strength, they could possibly turn calamity into a blessing. It was not impossible for them to become a divine creature all at once.

But... what did this have to do with Li Changhe?

He was already a divine creature and did not need any other Divinity. He would have preferred to go to the Land of the Sleeping Dragon to find a good-looking giant dragon to serve as a mount and fully enjoy the life of a Dragon Knight.

Instead, he was actually transported to this godforsaken place. Li Changhe never thought he would fall into the same predicament as Big Iron Pestle.

Of course, he was in a slightly better situation, at least for the moment, Li Changhe was hiding in a tree, with the Protection of the Forest Mirage and the cover of the Insect God Vest and Dark Feather Cloak.

He hadn’t been discovered by any enemy yet.

Li Changhe sighed in his heart about his streak of bad luck while calculating the fastest route from his location to where Big Iron Pestle was and simultaneously contacting his [Friends].

The girl and Qiu Wentian were in the Lava Peninsula, Brother Dong was in the Evil Forest, and The Box and the Moon God were in the Land of the Sleeping Dragon.

Among my familiar [Friends], it’s only the Big Iron Pestle that ended up in Godfall Canyon.

You could say that those two are just unlucky.

Li Changhe sighed, then took out the Hundred Generals’ Saber, replacing the rifle in his hand with the Abyssal Whisper mechanical bow.

The Big Iron Pestle was currently being besieged by the natives, and both morally and emotionally, Li Changhe felt he had to lend a hand.

Of course, cooperation was out of the question. Li Changhe feared getting caught in the crossfire.

"So, you guys are really in the same boat, huh," Yun Ting said, "both plagued by Lucky E."

"Wait! Though I was teleported to the same place as Big Iron Pestle. My luck is at least a bit better than his," Li Changhe argued with Yun Ting, "I wasn’t directly transported into a pile of monsters."

"Give me a break, you’re just comparing luck with Big Iron Pestle, that poor sod," Yun Ting retorted sarcastically, "Look at The Box! Having the Protection of the Dragon Clan’s nemesis, he was sent to the Land of the Sleeping Dragon. This time, even if he doesn’t enter Hundred Generals City, he’ll reap big rewards."

"Once I’ve blasted through Godfall Canyon, I definitely need to make a trip to the Land of the Sleeping Dragon!" Li Changhe said enviously, then added, "But, this world... truly is one of despair."

Li Changhe noticed the fast surge of Black Mud Divinity as soon as he entered this world. Divinity was gathering quickly, even exceeding the limit.

[Black Mud Divinity: 5200+/4000]

This signified that the humans on this continent were filled with negative emotions of despair. This was good news for Li Changhe.

Li Changhe donned his cloak and flitted through the forests in the canyon.

The Dark Feather Cloak was well-suited for moving in this environment, the enhanced leaping ability and silent movement allowed Li Changhe to easily jump more than ten meters away, emitting only a whisper of sound. It gave one the feeling of a martial arts hero.

This also allowed Li Changhe to slip past the attention of many of the natives.

However, he also saw the level of danger in the area.

The animals originally living here had all been twisted into some kind of monster.

Some had the body of a dinosaur but grew a terrifying dog head with bared teeth. Its sense of smell was incredibly sharp; when Li Changhe passed by nearby, it lifted its head to look around, as if it caught a whiff of Li Changhe.

Others were massive, hairless land walking birds with large beaks and talons. They couldn’t fly but moved at incredible speed.

Li Changhe had seen this type of creature darting through the forest at high speed several times.

Li Changhe wanted to capture one as a mount to expedite his travel, but found that they moved in groups. Too easy to get bogged down.

The main road of the canyon was even more dangerous.

Well-equipped twisted soldiers and knights roamed the main road, occasionally hunting a few monsters that came close.

Each one stood over two meters tall and wore thick full-body armor.

They looked quite majestic and awe-inspiring.

It’s unknown whether the humans in this world were naturally this tall or if it was due to being twisted and distorted.

And their strength was formidable as well.

Li Changhe saw a knight swing his scythe, throwing out a rapidly spinning ring of light, slicing a land walking bird in two.

This must be their Extraordinary strength, though it’s unknown whether it’s called Qi Yuan Slash or not.

Li Changhe, at the edge of the jungle, sneaked a peek at one of the knights’ attributes using the Insight Mirror.

Wow, all the attributes were above 11 points. Some even reached 13 points. And perhaps this wasn’t even the strongest among them.

Though the natives didn’t have the player’s trait enhancements, their own Extraordinary systems were a boon, something the players had to be wary of.

"They really are an army of Demigods. If these knights were to charge in formation, they would indeed be terrifying," Li Changhe thought to himself. He then looked at one of the knights clad in full golden armor riding a gigantic warhorse.

"Hey, that’s a nice horse..."
