Chapter 1764 - 1364: Li Si Takes Action! An Expert’s Move? (Extra - for Monthly Ticket)
Crazy people will never say they are the craziest because there’s no ’craziest,’ only ’crazier.’
At this time, a multitude of crazy Players are swarming towards other Holy Tombs of Ying Country, trying to follow behind the Black Wind Village Chief to drink some of the broth made from the big bones of Ying Country’s noble ancestors.
Additionally, a vast number of Players are following each other towards the Ten Thousand Great Mountains of Han Country, looking for trouble with the Azure Dragon.
Thus, nearly ten million Players gathered together in a grand mass, filling the forests within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, truly reenacting the scene from the later stages of Mixed Martial Arts World where a sea of Players attacked a BOSS, becoming the largest player activity ever in history.
Having arrived near another Holy Tomb and only leveled up for two days, Jiang Dali noticed the commotion on the forum from the Han Country side, feeling both unexpectedly and slightly newly anxious.
"What’s going on? Initially, only a few million people joined in on the fun. I thought it was as a favor, rubbing the old dragon’s back or scratching its itch. Now, it’s turned into such a huge commotion? Over ten million people went there... Wouldn’t that topple the old dragon’s aged toenails?"
Playing is one thing, causing a commotion is another. Now that more than ten million players are involved, it’s no longer just fooling around; it’s Players doing something real.
However, Jiang Dali is very aware that Mixed Martial Arts World isn’t truly a game world; there’s no concept of enforced bleeding.
Therefore, even though millions of Players may seem numerous, they might not pose a huge threat to the Azure Dragon. But the Azure Dragon had previously battled fiercely with the Jin people inheriting some of Qin Shi Huang’s powers and sustained considerable injuries.
This time, among the millions of Players, there are many experts from the Four Great Families.
If top-notch players like Ting Shui, Heartbroken Little Knife, Feng Ruhuo, and Feng Ying make precise moves with their Heavenly Human Realm prowess, targeting the Azure Dragon’s previous wounds and outputting frantically, perhaps they can widen the wounds and cause damage to the Azure Dragon. The fallen treasures like Dragon Blood and Dragon Scales would be a rich reward for the players.
Still, Jiang Dali really can’t fathom how it took just two mere days for more than ten million Players to swarm into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains of Han Country.
But soon, upon seeing new task posts from players on the forum, he finally understood the reason for the sudden expansion in the scale of this large activity.
At this moment, within the relevant section of the Jianghu Forum, not only did he publish the task post related to "Aid Qin Shi Huang," but other new related task posts appeared.
And the new task that motivated a sea of Players to rush towards the Ten Thousand Great Mountains of Han Country was actually posted by Li Si, the most renowned advisor beside Qin Shi Huang.
"So that’s the scoundrel... No wonder, it seems I have underestimated the heroes of the world, or rather, completely ignored the presence of Qin State’s advisors... This is indeed a grave mistake."
Seeing Li Si’s name, Jiang Dali suddenly realized and almost wanted to hit himself on the head.
A miscalculation indeed.
Having played against the brainless Martial World people too much, he began to treat Qin Shi Huang like a brainless Martial World person.
Moreover, the Eternal Emperor is definitely not dumb, let alone surrounded by a top-tier think tank always devising strategies for him, potentially encompassing top-tier intelligence agencies from all vassal states and dark piles scattered across the land.
He had commanded the Players to cause such a great commotion under the banner of Qin Shi Huang, it’s of course impossible for Qin Shi Huang to be unaware.
However, initially, he presupposed that this arrogant Eternal Emperor would likely be too lazy to pay attention to Player forces equivalent to ants, yet Li Si intervened unexpectedly, imitating him by posting a task, and it’s a joint task named "Emperor’s Dragon Slaying."
The task’s content implies that any Player who can damage the evil dragon in the ’Exterminate Evil Dragon’ action will be credited with Qin State battle achievements.
Ultimately, with these battle achievements, Players can exchange for various resources in Qin State, even obtaining official positions, or getting marquis titles and general seats are not impossible.
And all these rewards are added together with the rewards of the "Aid Qin Shi Huang" task, making the Players who see profit forget morality. Within two short days, the numbers increased from several million to tens of millions, even not exaggerated, and more Players are still rushing there.
"Li Si, the scoundrel who served Lv Buwei in early years, full of tricks, is sparing no effort in issuing such a task. It seems he has a way to utilize the Players’ power against the Azure Dragon? This seems rather baffling, even I can’t figure out what major impact Players can have against the Azure Dragon, which is almost perfectly peak in the Four Spirits as a Divine Beast..."
After thinking it over, Jiang Dali couldn’t come up with any answers, instead, he got furious from the difference in players’ treatment.
"Qin Shi Huang says one word, and these cowardly Players all rush to join the fun. When I shouted previously, only a few million stood out! The face of me, the Black Wind Village Chief, is somehow less than Qin Shi Huang who hasn’t uttered a peep for over a thousand years..."
Exiting the chaotic forum, he angrily delivered a Vigorous Vajra Fist, striking across the mountain to smash a dozen Stone Sculpture Puppets in midair.
Then he reached out his stout arms, grabbed with his two claws, quickly lifted an unscathed Stone Sculpture Puppet stunned either from fright or inherent dullness, and repositioned it in the ground with a ’thud.’
It immediately became like a ’shield’ blocking the Stone Sculpture Puppets rushing from behind.
Jiang Dali threw another punch as big as a cauldron outwards, fiercely hitting the Stone Sculpture Puppet in front of him.
Boom!! —
Mountain Crossing Bull Striking force burst vigorously.
A streak of Qi Force blasted out from the first Stone Sculpture Puppet’s body, like a pillar of wind whipping through, spiraling larger, and suddenly charging like a Heavenly Pillar sweeping through a hundred-zhang space of the Tomb.
The Stone Sculpture Puppet directly facing Jiang Dali trembled fiercely on its body, dust falling from it, while dozens to hundreds of Stone Sculpture Puppets behind became like kite’s strings snapped, drifting wildly in the air, colliding fiercely with each other, or smashing into the Tomb’s stone walls, exploding into pieces, falling like a rare stone rain.
"+1!"
"+1!"
"+1!"
Jiang Dali’s tall and burly figure proudly stood in the midst of flying stones and dust particles, numbers hovering above his head, causing the proficiency of Great Strength Divine Skill to soar, along with his understanding of the new realm of Mighty God Fist escalating in the moment.
He grabbed the single surviving bewildered Stone Sculpture Puppet on his shoulder and strode towards the inner area of the Holy Tomb.
Having been in this Holy Tomb for two full days, Dongfang Bubai has also almost consumed the Orochi Poison Blood absorbed earlier, and it’s about time to completely take the greatest fruit of this Tomb and leave this place.
However, he secretly sensed that the Earth Energy beyond the Holy Tomb is gradually undergoing subtle changes, with some malicious people quietly approaching and encircling the place.
This surprised him somewhat.
Some want to survive, while others are either foolish enough or weary of living willing to seek death, which is normal.
But what’s unusual is that so many people are brainless or tired of living?
