The exhilarating announcement from the System echoed, but Yi Tianchen was utterly exhausted.
Sitting quietly on the ground, he was only a meter away from the corpse of Captain Mondanqi from the Sharp Blade Camp. Looking at the scattered gold coins, two pieces of equipment, and a light blue Skill Book, Yi Tianchen finally felt a bit of comfort, especially with that pitch-black heavy sword.
Before this moment, he had been killed by that heavy sword countless times—crafted by a Celestial Boss, it surely fell under the category of Celestial Artifacts.
In addition to that, the substantial experience from defeating an 80-level Celestial Boss propelled Yi Tianchen from level 1 to level 42 in an instant. With the System's reward of 2 additional levels, he was now at level 44, a status that evoked envy and admiration from countless players, just one level shy of the top-ranked 45-level Supreme Treasure.
Soon, his message inbox buzzed with activity. Messages from Liu Yuhan and others flooded in almost simultaneously, creating a cacophony of notifications filled with congratulations and excitement. Most importantly, they expressed genuine happiness for Yi Tianchen.
As he replied to each message, Yi Tianchen began to loot the spoils. He first gathered all the gold coins, followed by the two anticipated pieces of equipment: a sharp black heavy sword and an impressive suit of armor. Finally, he turned his attention to the rare Skill Book produced by Zero Era.
Dragon Slash: Skill Book. After studying it, one can acquire the Dragon Slash skill. It harnesses immense power as its foundation and summons Divine Power as support, dealing 150% physical damage to all targets in a straight line ahead. The first target receives double physical damage at a distance of 5 yards; Learning Level: 60!
"This... could this be a magical combat technique?"
Yi Tianchen's thoughts instantly drifted back to the stone tower in the Black Forest, recalling the magical combat technique Skill Books collected by Hell Swordsman Azure Abyss.
Based on formidable strength and enhanced by powerful magic—that's what magical combat techniques are all about. Although game data mentioned them sparingly, their potency was undeniable and far beyond ordinary skill effects.
"Level 60 isn't too far off!"
Yi Tianchen chuckled softly as he carefully placed the Skill Book into his inventory. He then laboriously turned over Captain Mondanqi's body from the Sharp Blade Camp. After searching through the grass for a while and confirming there were no other items left, he rubbed his weary eyes and stood up to leave.
After an all-night battle, Yi Tianchen was indeed dead tired. However, with only twenty-four hours remaining before a deadline loomed ahead—no matter how difficult or exhausting it was—he had to keep pushing forward. After all, just hearing about Death Abyss made it clear it wasn't a pleasant place.
Suddenly, Yi Tianchen stopped in his tracks. He glanced into the depths of the dense forest before looking back at Captain Mondanqi's corpse lying about ten meters away. A strange yet necessary thought took root in his mind and lingered there.
"Perhaps... heh heh!"
Muttering to himself with a chuckle, Yi Tianchen's previously listless gaze suddenly sparkled with energy. He quickly jogged back to Captain Mondanqi's corpse and drew out the unexamined heavy sword, preparing to do something utterly astonishing.
Yes, he was about to sever Captain Mondanqi's head—commonly referred to as taking his trophy!
Although the great sword had yet to be appraised, it was merely devoid of any additional attributes. Its fundamental cutting ability as a sword was still evident. A few minutes later, a bloodied head was held in Yi Tianchen's hand, which he wrapped in several broad leaves before continuing deeper into the forest.
“Rustling…”
Time continued to tick away, and before he knew it, it was already noon. Liu Yuhan sent a message detailing the time for lunch. Yi Tianchen replied briefly, leaned against a tree to rest for a moment, and then began to climb over a rocky area that lay ahead.
Strangely shaped stones were piled up, with some nameless small trees struggling to grow amidst them. The trunks twisted into various shapes due to the obstruction of the stones, resembling artificial landscape trees found in reality. Among the overgrown grass standing over a meter high, several tombstones seemed to lean at odd angles.
“Ding…”
System Notification: New map discovered【Yin Corpse Ridge】, gained 2000 experience points, gained 200 reputation!
……
“Yin Corpse Ridge?”
Yi Tianchen paused in surprise; this was undoubtedly the territory of the Undead. He wondered if the Blood Phantom Alliance he was searching for had any connection to this place.
With that thought in mind, Yi Tianchen shook off his fatigue and quickened his pace. However, just as he approached, a chilling voice rang out—
“Stop! Who dares to intrude upon Yin Corpse Ridge?”
Yi Tianchen abruptly halted, feeling a surge of anxiety within him. This was already the domain of the Undead, and their appearance was inevitable. Since they were Undead, they would not be like Sharp Blade Camp Captain Mondanqi, who could not automatically recover Vitality.
It was clear that Yi Tianchen could not afford to act recklessly; otherwise, dying another few dozen times would mean losing the hard-earned level 40.
Looking up, two guards emerged from among the rocks, wielding long spears and clad in armor. They appeared human at first glance but emitted an unpleasant stench. The cold light emanating from their helmets was equally lifeless and devoid of any vitality.
Yin Corpse Ridge Guards, Elite-level monsters, Level 80!
Using Identification Technique, he learned that aside from the basic level 80 information, everything else was marked with formidable question marks. However, within the specific details, Yi Tianchen discovered some insider information: these were Undead guards stationed here by Blood Phantom Alliance Leader, Sheryl.
“I demand to see your leader!” Yi Tianchen declared without fear.
"How audacious! How could our Alliance Leader be someone you can just meet at will?" The guard at Yin Corpse Ridge straightened his spear, exuding an air of intimidation that suggested disobedience would lead to death. "Who exactly are you? Why have you come here? Are you a human sent to cause destruction?"
"Destruction?"
Yi Tianchen found the accusation both amusing and absurd. Just as he was pondering how to respond, a sudden idea struck him. With a slight smirk, he tossed the item he was holding towards them. "Once you see what this is, I believe you'll have a clearer understanding of who I am."
"…"
The two guards exchanged glances. The one on the left stepped forward, keeping a wary eye on Yi Tianchen. He used his spear to poke through the broad leaves of the package and gasped in shock. "This... this is actually the head of Captain Mondanqi from Sharp Blade Camp, sent by humans to attack our alliance?"
The second guard rushed forward upon hearing this, and upon seeing the contents, he too was taken aback. He looked at Yi Tianchen and asked, "Did you kill that despicable Captain Mondanqi?"
"Do you think there's a more credible answer than this?"
"Of course there is!" The guard declared with righteous indignation, his wariness undiminished. "Three hundred years ago, a human gained our trust in this very manner, only for us to later discover it was an unbelievable ruse!"
