Looking at the introduction of the Boundless Guardians, Yi Tianchen couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
The desolate Boundless Village clearly could not provide the answers Yi Tianchen sought, so he had no choice but to focus on these Boundless Guardians. Perhaps he could find some clues from them.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Tianchen slowly approached, dragging the Wild Fury behind him. Although these Boundless Guardians were elite monsters at level 32, their defense was a pitiful 500 points, even lower than that of the level 30 Forest Wanderers, making them relatively easy to deal with.
"Rustling..."
The Wolf Demon Boots crunched on the grass, producing a rhythmic sound. At the same time, the nearest Boundless Guardian immediately noticed the approaching Yi Tianchen.
"Swish..."
Without hesitation, Yi Tianchen's gaze sharpened as he activated Savage Charge and rushed forward. However, due to the distance being too great, he failed to enter the skill's effective range and could not stun his target; he merely arrived in front of the Boundless Guardian.
"Crack..."
With a swift strike, golden skill patterns shimmered on the heavy blade of Wild Fury. As Yi Tianchen swung down powerfully, he struck the shoulder of the Boundless Guardian, then followed up with a continuous diagonal slash that grazed its vulnerable throat before finishing with an upward thrust—
-1308! Critical Hit! -1683! -1102!...
Three eye-catching damage numbers leaped into the air, swaying gently as they floated toward the night sky like three small red flags, symbolizing victory! Symbolizing strength!
After taking three hits and suffering a critical hit, the Boundless Guardian let out a piercing howl before launching a counterattack. With a swift flick of its longsword, it deflected Yi Tianchen's Wild Fury and immediately followed up with a second strike that pierced his lower abdomen.
Critical Hit! -1859!
"Damn..."
As the massive damage number flew out, Yi Tianchen was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected that after landing a critical hit so quickly, he would receive such a swift retaliation in return. In shock, he leaped back several times to evade further attacks and quickly consumed a Fourth-Level Life Potion, restoring 1000 points of Vitality.
The battle continued...
"Wow..."
Dodging to the side, Yi Tianchen slipped under the sword of the Boundless Guardian, quickly thrusting his own sword through its chest. However, since this creature had been dead for many years, its heart was long dried up, and the strike did not deliver a fatal blow.
Undeniably, this did affect Yi Tianchen's confidence.
Yet, despite the setback, Yi Tianchen was not so weak as to be completely incapacitated. Even without a lethal strike, he could still take its life. He quietly slid past and swiftly maneuvered around, not waiting for the Boundless Guardian to turn before his weapon, Fury of the Wilderness, slashed across its back.
"Slash, slash, slash..."
-1108! -1099! -1086! -1116!...
Four consecutive damage numbers popped up as the Boundless Guardian screamed and flailed its sword wildly, stumbling awkwardly as it swayed left and right like it was in a racewalk.
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but want to laugh at the sight, but he held it back in the face of the Boundless Guardian's sharp swordsmanship.
Despite their clumsy movements, the sword in their hands was deadly. The blade hadn't even been drawn yet when the sword energy rushed forth, giving Yi Tianchen quite a headache. Moreover, these Boundless Guardians seemed to possess a high level of intelligence; they feigned attacks to lure you into striking while unexpectedly launching targeted killing moves.
Yi Tianchen weakly thought that indeed, the Creator was fair to every species. Where there were deficiencies in one aspect, there would surely be advantages in another to achieve ultimate balance.
After a standoff, Yi Tianchen consumed two bottles of Fourth-Level Life Potion and finally brought down the first Boundless Guardian mercilessly onto the ground. However, surprisingly, aside from 15 Silver Coins, the Boundless Guardian dropped nothing at all—not even a single hair—let alone any useful clues.
Sticking Fury of the Wilderness into the ground beside him, Yi Tianchen stood still, gazing around speechlessly while pondering whether his guess had been wrong. Why was there no hint whatsoever?
As Yi Tianchen was lost in thought...
Not far away, another Boundless Guardian wielding a longsword wandered back and forth with stiff legs. Its cold eyes scanned like radar until they finally settled on Yi Tianchen.
Indeed, these creatures had been born with a sacred mission and even in death continued to guard the unknown secrets of legend without revealing a single piece of information to those who came after. Their unwavering spirit was commendable!
"Alright! If you won't talk, I'll keep hitting you until you do!"
Yi Tianchen's gaze turned cold, a fierce expression emerging on his face. He shot forward, only to return in an instant, Speechless choking back tears, "Damn... I forgot to grab my weapon!"
Quickly pulling out the Wild Fury, Yi Tianchen soared into the air again. With a powerful sweep of his sword, he struck out in a crescent arc, using his immense strength to force the Boundless Guardian back. However, due to its stiff legs, the Boundless Guardian stumbled back two steps before decisively collapsing to the ground.
An opportunity!
Seeing this, Yi Tianchen dashed forward and delivered a fierce strike directly to the Boundless Guardian's abdomen, nearly cleaving it in half.
"Roar..."
A chilling scream echoed through the desolate mountains and wilderness, striking a chord deep within. But Yi Tianchen remained unmoved, his heart as hard as stone...
"Slash, slash, slash..."
The Boundless Guardian struggled on the ground due to its injuries and was unable to rise. In less than ten seconds, Yi Tianchen had whittled down nearly 80% of its Vitality with a relentless series of strikes.
Continuing his assault, he landed three more blows and finished it off.
He plunged the Wild Fury into the corpse and pried it aside with effort. Yi Tianchen knelt in the grass, clawing at the dirt and pulling up clumps of grass. Yet aside from twelve Silver Coins, he found nothing else.
"Damn... still nothing!"
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Yi Tianchen noticed a flicker of light dancing in the nearby woods—a bobbing glow that resembled ghostly fire in a midnight graveyard, accompanied by a faint whispering wind...
Yi Tianchen froze; there was definitely something going on!
With this thought, he felt a surge of excitement. The tiny spark of hope that had sunk like a stone suddenly reignited. He immediately dragged the Wild Fury toward the flickering light.
Soon, a thatched hut appeared faintly ahead, an extremely dilapidated one!
To Yi Tianchen's surprise, inside this hut sat an old man who looked quite aged and tattered. His wrinkled face seemed to have endured countless storms, more wrinkled than the bark of a pine tree.
In front of the old man, three wooden sticks propped up a frame, with a fire burning beneath it. About twenty centimeters above the flames hung a small black iron pot. Peering in, he saw boiling water churning inside, with a few wilted vegetable leaves floating on top!
Shock! Surprise! Confusion! Doubt! The Identification Technique quietly descended---
Watcher: Special NPC (Human)
Level: ???
Attributes: ???
Notes: Since the dawn of time, as chaos took shape, there has always been a type of person who becomes the inheritor of the mysteries of the world. Over time, a secret village of the Guardian of the Boundless Realm emerged. It is said that in this village of the Guardian of the Boundless Realm, people complete an inheritance every three hundred years, selecting a suitable Watcher responsible for guarding the eternal mysteries that have remained unchanged since ancient times. They are granted long lives but cannot suppress their aging bodies. Five hundred years ago, a calamity struck from the heavens, and the once peaceful village turned to ruins overnight, leaving only one Watcher behind. However, before he could pass on the Mission Inheritance of the Guardian of the Boundless Realm, he had no right to leave this world, even if his life was nearing its end.
