Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Holy crap, a monster siege?”

“We’re doomed. So many troops? Lowest level 40. What do we do?”

Seeing the line of skeleton soldiers in the distance, everyone mentally exclaimed that it was over.

Because although the resurrection point was a safe zone, that was only for players.

If monsters sieged the city, the resurrection point would be hell!

Monsters had no interest in chatting with you about life. The moment the blade fell, it would be annihilation.

Moreover, it would be continuous death, the kind that couldn’t be stopped.

They might be slaughtered by monsters down to Level 1!

All equipment would be dropped!

“It’s over. It’s over. We’re dead now. The levels gained these four days were for nothing. The equipment was gathered for nothing.”

“Originally I thought watching this battle was worth dying for. Now I realize my understanding of death was too shallow. I really don’t want to die!”

“Who the hell wants to die? Right, aren’t there guards in the village? Where are they?”

Countless people instantly looked towards the village entrance, but there were no guards there. Not even a shadow.

Instantly, countless people fell into despair.

“Actually, even if there were guards, it would be useless. The guards in the village are only around 1,000, all Level 30. Facing this kind of war, they’re of no use.”

“But at least they would have deterrence. Otherwise, why siege the city at this specific time and not earlier or later?”

[World Announcement: S-rank Hidden Quest released. Defend Ginkgo Village. Location: Ginkgo Village, Luoyun City. Please quickly go to Luoyun City to accept the quest. Players who successfully help Ginkgo Village defend will receive rich rewards.]

As soon as this announcement appeared, the scene instantly erupted.

…

In White Tiger City…

Xie Changkong had just exited the Dungeon Lands.

Now, he had finished all his Level 20, 25, and 30 dungeon runs. His level had already reached 32, jumping to rank 1,425 on the Level Leaderboard.

But his expression wasn’t very joyful.

It wasn’t that he felt the 1,452nd rank was embarrassing. Rather, he found the record for the Goblin Pursuit dungeon somewhat incredible.

Looking at the Fire Blade in his hand, Xie Changkong fell into silent contemplation.

Seeing him like this, others didn’t dare make a sound. They quietly waited for him to speak.

After a long time, Xie Changkong finally asked his butler beside him:

“Fu’an, did the officials provide video proof of how A Silly Cutie cleared the Goblin Pursuit dungeon that time?”

“Young Master, the officials didn’t provide any information. They only said the dungeon record is true and there’s no need to doubt it.”

Xie Changkong frowned. “The 4-minute-12-second record is true? How was it achieved?”

This time, he brought ten elites from his Changkong Sword Group. They had all been carefully selected by him.

In fact, every true deity had their own teams under them.

Apart from a few like Qian Shanxue who lacked financial power and didn’t have the strength to form teams, the other true deities all had their own teams.

Moreover, not just one.

Each team had members of various classes and also had different roles.

Just like his four teams, each had their own roles.

The Changkong Armed Forces helped him hunt bosses, obtain equipment, purchase equipment, and so on.

The Changkong Logistics Group helped him handle some miscellaneous guild matters, purchase potions and materials across the server, collect quests, and so on.

The Changkong Execution Group helped him handle some relatively important matters and execute special missions.

As for the Changkong Sword Group, it was his trump card team, responsible for following him into dungeons, PKing, and leveling.

Although it was called a sword group, it didn’t mean the group only had Blade Masters.

Among the 36 top experts, there were members of every class. There was even a hidden class.

With such a team, plus the strategies contributed by Qi Xiaobai and the others, Xie Changkong was initially very confident. He felt surpassing 4 minutes and 12 seconds shouldn’t be a problem.

But after the first attempt, he discovered the time was only 6 minutes shorter than the previous record set by the Record God.

At that time, he thought it was an issue of levels. After all, when A Silly Cutie entered the Goblin Pursuit dungeon, she was already Level 32.

But when his entire team reached Level 31, learned skills, and changed equipment…

Just now, when they entered the dungeon again, the time was only fixed at 8 minutes and 31 seconds.

This made him very puzzled. Just how did A Silly Cutie achieve a 4-minute-12-second clear?

At this time, Moonlight Space, a top expert who had accompanied him through this dungeon, suddenly stepped forward.

“Team Leader, I think it’s because we’re not familiar enough with the strategy.”

“Indeed, Team Leader. I also think as long as our familiarity increases, surpassing A Silly Cutie’s team won’t be a problem.”

Another top expert, Clear Moon Sand Echo, also chimed in agreement.

However, Xie Changkong shook his head. “It’s not an issue of familiarity. It should be because our DPS is too low.”

“DPS too low? Team Leader, in terms of DPS, I don’t think there’s any team in the entire server that can compare to our Changkong Sword Group.”

“Although our Changkong Sword Group’s equipment hasn’t reached the optimal configuration yet, we’re still in the top three of the entire server. Moreover, in terms of dungeon clearing efficiency, no one is higher than us.”

With the Changkong Armed Forces, they didn’t need to consider equipment issues to begin with. As long as their level was reached, the best equipment for the current level would be delivered to them.

So when Xie Changkong said their DPS wasn’t enough, Clear Moon Sand Echo didn’t agree.

“Heh.” Xie Changkong sneered.

“What you’re using are all standard equipment. The highest is only Purple. The truly good equipment is still concentrated in the hands of solo players and major guild leaders.”

“Just like this A Silly Cutie, she probably has no less than 5 pieces of Rare equipment on her.”

Xie Changkong shook his head. “Forget it. Unless we find the Dharma Saint and have her come out of seclusion, or find A Silly Cutie and ask her to take action, otherwise it’s impossible to break her record.”

“I have to say, this A Silly Cutie indeed has her own outstanding points. If Su Lian’ya can really recruit her to our Temple and make her the 13th Vice Guild Leader of the Temple, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.”

Xie Changkong waved Clear Moon Sand Echo and Moonlight Space away. He asked Fu’an:

“Fu’an, while I was clearing the dungeon, did anything major happen in the Great Wasteland?”

“Major events?” Hearing this, Fu’an nodded. “Young Master, I heard Guild Leader Su went to invite the Dharma Saint.”

“What?” Xie Changkong’s eyelids lifted slightly, his eyes showing a hint of shock.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed at himself. “It seems she still doesn’t trust my abilities. It doesn’t matter. Those two are close friends. Perhaps they really can invite that crazy woman Lan Xingyue out.”

Rubbing his brows, he continued asking, “From your expression, it seems something else major happened?”

“It can’t be considered too major. It’s just that Cutie Shakes the World has been a bit high-profile recently.”

“High-profile?” Xie Changkong smiled disdainfully. “With A Silly Cutie’s personality and strength, no matter what she does, it’s just a facade, purely hyping up popularity.”
