Chapter 196: March Into the Death Desert
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Ding, dong! You’re about to use up ten million in guild funds to open a super large-scale secret realm, Death Desert. Do you wish to confirm?”
“Confirm!”
“Ding, dong! Guild Announcement. Guild Leader Netherworld has opened a super large-scale secret realm, Death Desert. The teleportation portal has appeared in the territory of all members.
“Guild announcement. Death Desert is a large-scale secret realm. This secret realm will be open for three days. All members, please, hurry up and explore it!”
As the system’s voice faded, a faint yellow teleportation portal suddenly appeared in Li Cheng’s territory.
Seeing the teleportation portal open, Li Cheng did not hesitate and directly led his troops into it.
“Ding, dong! You’ve entered the super large-scale guild secret realm, Death Desert!
“Ding, dong! Due to unknown reasons, all your troops’ attack and defense stats have been decreased by fifty percent!
“Ding, dong! The area is extremely hot. Please, replenish your water in time!”
A yellow energy wave spread out and all the troops had an additional debuff, reducing their attack and defense by 50%.
When the guild members entered the map, the originally quiet secret realm immediately became lively.
“Woohoo! Time to take off!”
“Netherworld boss is awesome! He immediately opened a super large-scale guild secret realm?”
“What are the rewards after clearing a secret realm like this?”
“Wow, it actually reduced our attack and defense by half. Isn’t this too difficult?”
“Ah, this… This is really it. Netherworld boss, it’s all up to you now. Take us flying!”
The players were in an uproar. Li Cheng dug his ears and called Pearl and Little Rain over.
The guild’s member list was already full. The upper limit was 5,000,000 people. This number could be said to be very large.
Excluding those who could not come over due to matters in the real world and those who were temporarily raiding other secret realms, the number of people who entered the guild’s secret realm was more than 4,800,000.
For every 10,000 people, Little Rain had chosen a team leader. This way, it would be easier to manage the troops.
Li Cheng checked the raiding points of the secret realm. Every guild’s super large secret realms had raiding points, and as the raiding points increased, the corresponding rewards would be unlocked.
[1,000 points – 10 Basic Life Potion]
[3,000 points – 50 Basic Life Potion]
[5,000 points – 50 Basic Magic Potion]
[10,000 points – 50 Basic Speed Scroll]
[20,000 points – 50 Basic Battle Cry Scroll]
[30,000 points – 50 Basic Rage Scroll]
…
[100,000 points – Bramble Centaur Recruitment Authority]
[150,000 points – Bramble Shell (Gold-grade army equipment)]
…
[5,000,000 points – unknown]
[10,000,000 points – unknown]
The highest reward for the event was 10,000,000 points. After the tenth reward, the reward was unknown.
Looking at these rewards, Li Cheng was deep in thought. As long as he got 100,000 points, he would be able to obtain a decent front-row Meat Shield soldier, the Bramble Centaur.
This soldier was a tier five soldier with high HP. The damage it received could be returned to the enemy in a certain ratio.
If he got 150,000 points, he could also exchange for the exclusive Gold-grade equipment of these Bramble Centaurs.
Moreover, he would not just obtain the soldiers but their recruitment authority. This was already a pretty good deal. Although Li Cheng himself did not like it, to the guild members, it would be a pretty good soldier.
In reality, the rewards displayed by the system were not of much use to Li Cheng.
However, the guild secret realm’s points were calculated individually. If Extreme God unlocked the Bramble Centaurs, their combat power would definitely increase by a large margin. Thinking of this, Li Cheng opened the map, marked a few locations on it, and ordered, “Pearl, lead half of your people to raid the Bosses and wild monsters at points A, F, G, and H.
“Rich Lady, lead the other half of your people to raid points B, K, and E.”
Speaking up to this point, Li Cheng paused for a moment before continuing, “Try to find out the attributes of the monsters there as soon as possible and give everyone a guide.”
Li Cheng took a look. These few spots had relatively low-level monster nests and they would respawn repeatedly. In three days, as long as they put in a little bit of effort, it would be no problem for them to obtain 150,000 points.
Of course, all of this still depended on the players’ hard work. Those who did not meet the standards would be kicked out. Li Cheng’s place was not a charity hall that could accommodate freeloaders. Those who could not keep up with the team would be cleared out immediately.
Hearing Li Cheng’s words, Pearl nodded obediently while Little Rain rolled her eyes at Li Cheng. She was a little repulsed by the term ‘rich lady’, but she quickly sent messages to the group leaders excitedly. It was her first time commanding such a large-scale battle. She had long forgotten that little bit of dissatisfaction in her heart.
After everything was set up, the players valiantly followed their leaders to explore the wilderness. Li Cheng also began to lead his troops.
However, Li Cheng’s marching direction was different as he headed toward the most dangerous area on the map.
After more than 10 minutes, the desolate desert in front of him suddenly turned green. He could even feel the aura of a lake nearby.
The Death Desert map was very special. Players and all the troops would lose water on this map so they had to replenish their water every hour. If not, the troops would lose HP accordingly.
If they needed to replenish their water, they had to either go to some oasis in the desert or return to their territory through a teleportation portal. Otherwise, the troops might die of thirst.
There were countless oases on the map and players would usually not venture too far from the teleportation portal. If they could not find an oasis to go to, they would return to their territory to replenish water.
Searching for an oasis in the desert was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Li Cheng had seen the entire map in his previous life and knew the location of some oases.
However, he looked at the oasis in front of him. Instead of leading his troops in, he sneered and made a hand gesture.
Roar!!!
Roar!!!
Roar!!!
Countless Frost Dragons immediately washed the ground with their Dragon’s Breath, covering the entire territory with azure energy.
In an instant, the originally calm oasis suddenly rang with shrill screams as countless huge lizards shot up from the ground. Their health bars disappeared in an instant. Then, their corpses fell to the ground weakly.
At the same time, the system’s voice rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
