Chapter 678: Chapter 350: Sword City

After walking in the forest for nearly four hours, the sky had completely darkened.

When they finally passed through the forest, Li Changhe and the others saw the so-called Sword City.

It was a city with a tall, circular wall, and a three-meter-high stone sculpture stood at the city gate.

It was said that these were the statues of legendary adventurers from various eras.

They often emerged in times of great crisis on the continent, pulling everything back from the brink.

As a result, their statues were erected in later generations to commemorate them.

The greatest wish of every adventurer was to become a legend and be revered in this way.

These statues were also known as Hero Statues, and there were now seven in total.

Among them were humans, elves, and dwarves.

Li Changhe glanced at them but was drawn to one of the human statues.

It was a human figure holding a long sword, wearing a windbreaker, with wings spread behind him.

Because the statue was made of white stone, the pure white wings made him look like an angel descending to earth.

Players were a little taken aback, especially Li Changhe, who had seen such a scene before.

"Is that...?" Li Changhe gazed at the statue, its windbreaker style was very similar to the Great Wall Windbreaker, and the wings and sword.

"Is it Chen Guang?"

It’s hard to say, but the Great Wall Windbreaker can be confirmed. The so-called legendary adventurer was a Great Wall player!

This point had been confirmed by Jiangshan and Chen Yu in [Friends], that it was indeed the Great Wall Windbreaker. Although there were some modifications, the Great Wall logo on the chest could still be identified.

"It’s not clear if it’s him, among the official players who have wings, as there are several," Chen Yu replied: "However, it can be confirmed at present that players have come to this world successively. Starting from a certain idea, they joined the ranks of adventurers and left behind legends."

This wasn’t exactly surprising. Before the outbreak of the Chang’an Plague, there had been several appearances of players in the Great Tang.

The team approached the city’s gate.

The surroundings became lively. It was a port city with many merchant teams and other adventurer parties passing by. This was already a safe area.

Wang He carried a large bag with the giant wolf’s head inside. Blood flowed out of the package, attracting a lot of attention.

"Hey, aren’t you guys from Dawn’s Hammer?" An adventurer laughed, "Nice! You really managed to take down that giant wolf. Too bad, it took you three days to complete such a task. You might as well join our team..."

He obviously wanted to recruit Wang He and his teammates to join their team.

But Wang He ignored him, instead, addressing Li Changhe beside him: "Senior Li Ba, I am going to the Adventurer’s Guild to collect the reward. I’ll treat you all later."

"No hurry, let’s go together," Li Changhe scanned the crowd and found Chen Yu and Jiangshan mingling among them: "I’ve just found my teammates too."

Wang He looked surprised, then noticed the three men approaching them.

Jiangshan was tall and sturdy, carrying a long-handled curved blade on his back.

Chen Yu held Xiao Ye’s hand and followed behind Jiangshan. The faces of the two were disguised so as not to attract unnecessary trouble.

"These are the teammates of Senior He Qi and Li Ba." A thought struck Wang He: "They’ve gathered so many. Do they have some dangerous mission to undertake?"

No wonder he thought so. The strength displayed by Li Changhe and He Feng had led him to assume they were gold-level adventurers, and their teammates must be of a similar level.

After exchanging simple greetings, Li Changhe and their team accompanied Wang He to the Adventurer’s Guild in Sword City.

In fact, there were two reasons why Li Changhe wanted to go to the Guild.

First, the Adventurer’s Guild was a semi-official powerhouse with information that ordinary people wouldn’t know. Players could quickly gather information there.

Second, players could earn bounties there, meeting their needs for actions in this world. Li Changhe had already planned for this.

"Xiao Ye can’t understand the language of the people in this world, and she’s very unfamiliar with this continent." [Player] members discussed in [Friends]: "There are currently two possibilities."

"First, time gap. Since Xiao Ye left her homeland, a long time has passed. In this time, customs and habits of various places have changed, as has human language."

"Second, world confusion. This isn’t Xiao Ye’s world at all. Letting us escort Xiao Ye is probably for some other purpose."

"Unfortunately, all the elves have returned to their homeland. Otherwise, we could have learned something from them." Li Changhe thought that they might encounter some assassination attempts against Xiao Ye in the future. With the help of the elves, the difficulty would be much less.

In this world, elves and humans got along relatively peacefully.

According to the mages, some elves were born with the ability to communicate with the elements, which made their talent for magic powerful.

With the unique innate abilities of the elves, they could quickly master the skills that rangers and warriors had honed and practiced over the years.

That was what made the Fantasy Species so special, possessing abilities beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Sea Clan, Elves, Blood Clan...

As a result, at the same level, Fantasy Species players tended to be stronger than human players.

Of course, as the level increased, this gap became smaller and smaller.

Unfortunately, these potential allies had all returned to their homeland for various reasons.

...

Little did the players know that as they searched for information,

On a land far across the ocean,

Terrifying battles broke out time and time again.

The ancient and mysterious language called upon the elements to form the terrifyingly hot flame spear.

Towering ancient trees turned into frightening treants, wreacking havoc with their enormous limbs.

Beautiful elven boys and girls brandished their swords against equally beautiful enemies.

One by one, beautiful bodies lost their lives and fell onto the homeland’s soil, then being wrapped and absorbed by vines.

Behind the battlefield, both sides received a piece of intelligence.

"Blood Clan mercenaries have been killed? Are humans really that strong now?" An elf whispered, "I guess we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands."

"Keep an eye on every port’s ships. If they want to reach this land, they can only take the sea route."

"Have all the companions on the other continents come back?"

"Except for some of our own people who hold important positions in human kingdoms, everyone else has already returned."

"Well, that makes things easier. From now on, let’s call upon the trunk of the Divine Tree to find the last bloodline of the Tree Protector!"

"Find her, take her with us... and if anyone tries to stop us..."

"Kill her!"
