Chapter 1134: Chapter 785 Black Dragon Spear

Firstly, the secret guarded by the human king was a Skeleton King.

The Skeleton King had crossed who knows how many years and awoke precisely when the human king disappeared and the human dynasty faced a great crisis.

However, at the moment of his awakening, the remaining demigods among humans shot a fatal arrow from a great distance, killing him thoroughly on his throne.

"This information is a bit much to process," Li Changhe pondered. "What role exactly did this human king play in this affair?"

"I am not clear about the human king’s strength and level, but at the very least, he must have been a demigod," the bronze sword said. "He discovered this slumbering Skeleton King, but for some reason, he did not eliminate this risk that could overturn his own dynasty. Instead, he placed gargoyles and a large number of traps around it to guard."

"And the Skeleton King’s awakening coincides with the disappearance of the human king," Li Changhe said. "Is it possible that this was all orchestrated by the king himself? For some reason, did he intend to awaken the Skeleton King to accomplish something after he encountered trouble? Maybe he planned to use the Skeleton King."

"Like the General Ancestor?" Big Iron Pestle chimed in. "Didn’t our Human Ancestor and General Ancestor make a pact for the General to set aside his biases and grudges to protect humanity? Could it be that the human king had the same idea?"

"No, this is different! ’Those not of our kind must have a different heart!’" the bronze sword asserted. "This is not the same as the relationship between the Human Ancestor and the General Ancestor. No matter how they fought, they are the origin of Hua Country’s civilization, the ancestors of humans. Today’s people of Hua Country are their descendants. Be it Yan Huang or Jiuli, after thousands of years, they have already integrated with each other. So, I am not surprised that the General is willing to protect his descendants. And besides... he is no longer the General from before. After being killed once and revived, he has become less impetuous. Otherwise, considering his temperament during the mythological era, his first act upon return would have been to attack the other divinities eyeing Hua Country. You wouldn’t want the General to attack the hidden divinities of various countries and directly start a mythological war in the real world, would you?"

"So it’s a Hua Country version of the twilight of the gods?" Wuji shook his head. "Although it’s quite sensational, let’s not hope for that."

"So there’s that perspective," Li Changhe thought to himself that today’s ancestor was not the original General.

But that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Nowadays, the ancestor spent his days nurturing pandas and occasionally joining Chen Guang and the others to plunder. It was a life of ease that Li Changhe envied.

"To humans, that Skeleton is certainly a Different Race," the bronze sword continued. "No matter what, they would never entrust civilization to a Different Race! Absolutely impossible. There must be another reason..."

"Indeed, if that king truly had some plan that required the revival of the Skeleton King, the human demigod wouldn’t have killed the Skeleton outright," Li Changhe reflected. "Does this imply that the human king and the human demigod were not on the same side?"

"Too little information," Wuji shook his head. "If we find similar ruins or murals later on, we might be able to learn more. Doesn’t the general have a map? Let’s see if there are similar landmarks in Godfall Canyon."

Li Changhe spread out the map on the ground, and the four of them studied it. Soon, they found a similar landmark not far from the final fortress.

From the map, the final fortress appeared to be the only route from Godfall Canyon to the City of Hundred Generals.

"It’s a bit far, but it’s still on the way," Li Changhe said. "So, let’s make that our next target."

"In the meantime, we need to collect a sufficient number of King’s Medals," Wuji said. "Other players are surely collecting as many as they can. We can’t let them get ahead of us."

In fact, this was the best choice. Collecting more medals could not only provide more rewards from crushing the medals but also reduce the competition from other players. As long as they kept three medals to enter the City of Hundred Generals, that would be enough.

However, it was not without difficulty; there were too many troops in the levels, and a frontal assault would be costly. If other players discovered them during this period, they surely wouldn’t mind taking advantage.

As for the wilds, it was a lot up to luck and also very inefficient.

"You don’t need to worry about that," Li Changhe replied with a smile. "I have a special collection strategy."

Wuji and Xia Yun looked puzzled, while Big Iron Pestle let out a faint smile, a bit mysterious.

Li Changhe approached the pile of bones of the Skeleton King. The Bone People were thoroughly dead, with even their divinity completely erased, but their remains and that black arrow were valuable. They couldn’t be missed.

So, the space next to Li Changhe shimmered, and a large piece of bronze appeared mid-air, quickly reforging into a bronze arm. It grasped the black arrow lodged in the chest of the Skeleton King and slowly pulled it out.

Wuji and the others were on guard, just in case something happened. After all, it wasn’t unheard of for the dead to come back to life.

The wielder of the Big Iron Pestle always encountered corpses coming back to life in tombs, and always triggered traps. Thus, he stayed far away.

Of course, even if the dead were to rise again, it wouldn’t be a problem. For players, anything that dared to show a health bar could be smashed to pieces!

However, as Li Changhe pulled out the black arrow, the bones of the Skeleton King immediately crumbled into dust and dispersed. The Skeleton King, who had been dead for too long, was ultimately nothing but decay.

This left the players somewhat regretful. After all, it was a divine creature; there might have been a chance to obtain something good from disassembling it.

Li Changhe, however, turned his attention to the black arrow in his hand. For an archer, this black arrow was much more important than the skeleton’s remains.

The arrow was about one meter seventy in length, slightly taller than the girl. The overall design was more like a war spear. The arrow was pitch-black with a spine coiling around the shaft.

"An epic-level arrow...Indeed powerful! It’s a pity there’s only one..." Li Changhe weighed the black spear, then turned to the others and said, "Then, this one is mine."

Wuji spread his hands, showing he didn’t care, as the master of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, he didn’t need any weapons. Should there be any danger, he could utilize the Xuanyuan Sword.

Xia Yun was Li Changhe’s little fan girl and didn’t use bows and arrows either.

And the wielder of the Big Iron Pestle didn’t need it. His Lucky E was his strongest weapon.

"All right, then let’s get ready to start the hunt." Li Changhe put the black arrow into his backpack.

Meanwhile, a large number of players were approaching the canyon.
