I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Of course, the battle that lasted for more than 40 minutes was not all smooth sailing. At least Noretti, Ryo Yilan, and Mori Chisaki had almost used the blue crystals, and there were often things that slipped through the net when supplying. The missile hit Ryo Yilan and Mori Chisaki, so except for Cheng Rang, the rest of the team members' recovery crystals were somewhat consumed.

"This recovery crystal can actually recover bullets and other props... I'm a little surprised." Sitting by the campfire, Liang Yilan breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she was so tired that her dislocated arms were sore and sore. He completely ignored the layer of blood on the ground.

Lux got off his horse and came to Pramister's broken flesh and blood body, rummaging for something inside.

"Lux, what are you looking for?" Cheng Rang took out the ham sausage from his backpack, tore open the package and took a bite.

When he handed the extra food to the other team members, they all shook their heads and said they couldn't eat it right now.

"Don't let me see any stick-shaped objects made of flesh again... I'm sick to my stomach right now, Captain."

Noretti: (ó﹏ò)

"I'm looking for Pramister's "god gift". Lux forcefully pulled out a necklace of bones from the flesh and blood, "This is it." "

The bone necklace is half a meter long, with clusters of finger bones neatly woven on it. It must be as thick as a handful.

"Every bone on this is a poor person who was sacrificed in blood."

The second phalanx of the little finger is actually only the size of a bullet, but it can weave a necklace of such thickness and length. How many innocent lives are included in it? Just thinking about it can make people shudder. .

The necklace made a special sound like the collision of human bones as Lux swayed, and Noretti immediately looked away from it out of curiosity.

"It's so funny..."

Cheng Rang stood up and came to Lux's side, looking at the bone necklace in his hand, "Is this the source of Pramister's immortal power?"

"Limbs, flesh and blood, and eyeballs, they can see the glory of God... However, they don't know that the so-called God is not necessarily a gathering of good thoughts. The most evil in the world can also become the cause and effect of worshiping God. .”

Cheng Rang asked tentatively: "...Do you mind letting me take a look?"

"Hey! Captain, since when did you have a bad taste for things like this?!" Chisaki Mori made an incredulous voice from the side.

"I just wanted to see what clues there might be."

Lux thought for a moment and handed out the necklace, "Okay, without your help, I can't kill such a powerful Pramister alone. Now with his death, this necklace has also lost its original power. , it’s just proof that the victims still exist in this world.”

[Item: Divine Finger Bone Necklace. 】

[Explanation: Priest Pramister gained power from the evil god by sacrificing pure, untouched life. The second phalanx of the little finger is where the ceremonial ring is worn. 】

[Due to receiving the gift from Plamister, I learned the memory of the last conversation between the legendary warrior Roderick and Plamister. 】

"The gods you believe in must bow to the beings. Just wait there, and they will come to you."

"who are they?"

"The favored one..."

Cheng Rang heard the word favored one again from Roderick's conversation with the priest. He returned the necklace to Lux and asked, "When did Rodrick imprison the priest?"

"four years ago."

"..." Cheng Rang narrowed his eyes slightly.

The birth of the Red Moon only appeared three years ago, and Roderick actually knew about the start of the Red Moon mutation a year in advance?

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just curious." Cheng Rang walked towards the bonfire and stopped halfway, "What are you going to do with that necklace?"

"This is proof of Pramister's death. If I can get out alive, I need to take it to Gokeyak Village."

"Who's there?"

"These children's home." Lux raised the necklace and gestured, then carefully put it into the storage bag next to the saddle. "I know the pain of losing their hometown and country. At least they can finally live in the land where they were born. Rest in peace.”

Cheng Rang nodded, turned around and continued walking back.

"The favored one." Lux called Cheng Rang.

"?"

"If I don't make it out alive, can you complete this task for me?"

This time the system did not pop up any prompts. Presumably this was not a formal system task, but more like a verbal agreement.

"Where is the village of Gokeyak?"

Lux dug out the folded old map from his storage bag and gave it to Cheng Rang.

[Acquired the "Asharashi Mountains" area map, and the information has been updated. 】

"Starting from the shores of Yate Lake and heading west through the northern part of the Aifoghar Forest, you can reach the Asharash Mountains. The village of Gokeyak is in that mountain range."

"If I'm on the way, I'll take a look, provided we can get out alive." Cheng Rang held the folded map and shook it: "Don't you need this?"

"I've long known the road to the Asharash Mountains by heart." Lux lowered the brim of his hat, but Cheng Rang still keenly observed the smile that couldn't be concealed on his lips when he mentioned the Asharash Mountains.

This was the first time Cheng Rang saw his expression other than seriousness. His weathered face seemed to contain complex joy and bitterness.

Under the red moon, in this dilapidated and withered world, there is no place that can be called home anymore.

Perhaps Aifoghar is the homeland that Lux serves centrally, and the place called the Asharash Mountains may be the place where he was born.

Returning to the team members, Cheng Rang shared the map he obtained with other members.

"Unlock them all. This is the map of the new area."

Liang Yilan was the first to take over the map.

"The Asharath Mountains... are so far away! Did Lux ​​just give you this map?"

"Well, I just agreed to his request."

"Mission?"

"The system didn't prompt me. I guess it doesn't matter whether I do it or not. Anyway, I can get a map to unlock a new area. It's not a loss."

The map was passed between the three of them, with Noretti finally taking the map.

After unlocking it, looking at the huge unexplored area, Noretti glanced at the countdown in the corner of the system interface - there were still two and a half days, roughly less than sixty hours.

"Countdown to team score settlement..."

In sixty hours, it would be difficult to achieve 10% of the progress of exploring this world. Why would a team conquest mode that is only limited to three days be teleported to such a large area?

Teams rarely meet each other. There are six teams in total. Even if they are only sent to adjacent areas, the possibility of meeting each other is very low.

Noretti looked at the system map that unlocked the second adjacent area, and the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong.

The enemies here are indeed very strong, but they can basically be avoided... If you simply want to survive three days in the team conquest mode, it is not difficult at all.

But why did the captain say that basically no one he knew ever came back alive?

Thinking of the possibility that the entire army might be wiped out again, Noretti didn't want to see such a result, so she immediately made a request to Cheng Rang.

"Captain, can you now check the number of other surviving teams?"

"Eh?" Cheng Rang faced Noretti's request and clicked a few times on the system interface. "It is indeed possible, but it will cost some points and check once every 5 o'clock."

“Be sure to check it out!”

"What's the point of this... Excluding us, the number of remaining surviving teams will not exceed 5 at most. Didn't we already know this when we came here at the beginning?" Chisaki Mori said from the side: "The team conquest mode is not enough Is it really okay to spend points in a place like this?"

The strong ominous premonition made Noretti very uneasy. She chose to stick to her own idea and asked Cheng Rang to spend points to check the number of remaining surviving teams in the current team conquest mode.

"This result is very likely to completely change our course of action... If it is less than six teams, then just think that I am too nervous and overthinking."

Cheng Rang and Noretti looked at each other insistently for a moment, nodded and decided: "Okay, it's only 5 o'clock anyway, I'll just check."

"Thanks……"

"It's too foreign."

In the system interface, click a few times on the list of Team Conquest Mode.

[Do you want to spend 5 team points to check the current number of surviving teams? 】

【yes】

The moment Cheng Rang clicked the button, Noretti pursed her lips nervously as the aperture of the query rotated. Others also stared motionlessly at the system interface in front of Cheng Rang.

[End of inquiry——]

[The current number of remaining surviving teams: 57]

"Varied…?!"

A result that no one expected appeared. Looking at the number 57 lying quietly in the query results, the team members opened their eyes wide and looked at each other in disbelief.

"Fifty-seven teams remain? How is that possible!"

Chapter 138 The Cycle of Conquest

Chapter 1328 Chapter 138 The Cycle of Conquest

Noretti's trembling eyes showed uneasiness. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, suppressing the sobs back into her throat, as footsteps approached from the side.

"Everyone, have you finished resting? It's time for us to head to the next level." Lux led the horse to the team members who were sitting in silence around the red moon emblem.

"Lux, you once said that there are two prisoners in the underground cell, and one of them has been killed, right?"

"Yes."

"Who was killed?"

"Just a monster."

"Who killed that monster?"

"...of course the favored ones."

There was a moment of hesitation in Lux's answer, and Cheng Rang immediately realized that he might be lying or hiding something.

In this world, even NPCs who in the eyes of players only issue tasks and give rewards will lie.

When they first arrived, the first great hero they met, Gran, taught them a vivid lesson.

"There was a liar before me."

"You can't trust anyone here."

"The forces of the Holy Church are eternal enemies."

"Ah, long live Red Moon..."

Players use

Life writes down suggestions to remind those who come after us that the world is not as simple as they think.

The long-lasting death knell tolls for them, and under the red moon, everything is crazily twisted and corrupt.

Therefore, the declining dynasty may not have so many epic legends.

Everything seems to be covered in thick fog, broken and false, and the clues in it may be the direction that can lead to the truth.

"The only people you can trust are the partners around you."

Cheng Rang stood up from the campfire, and the long sword appeared on his waist in a flash. The team members around them also stood up vigilantly, and the atmosphere between the two sides suddenly became tense from just fighting side by side.

"I advise you to tell the truth, Lux Creed..."

"What I said is true."

"How many keys are there to the underground prison in the royal city?"

"Of course there are a lot of them. As you saw, they are a bunch of keys, each used to open different doors."

The bunch of keys leading to the underground prison are still on the elevator in the downward passage. In other words, if there is only one set of keys, then the one inserted on the big elevator is the only one, and the giants stationed in the royal city need to be defeated. It can only be obtained after Godwitha.

If other players, or the favored ones, have challenged this dungeon before, then unless the BOSS on the map will be refreshed, they can only get the key through other means.

"Do you mind if we look through your pocket?" Cheng Rang held the long knife and spoke in a dangerous tone.

Lux held the horse beside him with one hand, put the giant sword behind his back with the other hand, and then opened his arms.

"Second Grade 2, go check it out."

Chisaki Mori stepped forward and groped for Lux, but did not find the second set of keys, and also rummaged through the storage bag on the horse. The second set of keys was not found.

"The favored ones who came here a few years ago, how did they get in here?"

"Of course the former ferryman Roderick also has the key to the prison. He is also a member of the underground prison guarding the royal city."
