Chapter 58 - A Temporary Team of 2,000 People
After a few breaths, his body gradually adapted to this power, which lifted his mood.
His arms and legs feel lighter than before. He even felt the rush of wind at his side as he moved.
Now he could easily control his strength.
He felt completely different from before!
‘, now that I’ve adapted to my strength, I’ll try to copy the other attributes.‘
Next, he copied the Ice Queen’s mana, agility, endurance, and physique.
He wanted to see if there was any more energy that he needed to get used to.
This is to prevent the sudden shock from his boosted power when he copies the Ice Queen’s attribute in a battle in the future.
Fortunately, he didn’t need any more adapting for the other four attributes. After copying them, it felt like it was his own, and he could use them as he wished.
Then, he turned his attention back to his previous thoughts.
“Since all five attributes can be copied, then I can rest assured. I’ll copy the Ice Queen’s attribute when the time comes.”
Ling Yi shifted his gaze away from the Ice Queen and lowered his head to look at the icy surface he had destroyed. A look of awe and a slight hint of shock flitted across his face.
He didn’t think too much when he punched a few moments ago.
He felt the massive power in his body and poured it out of his body.
Now that he thought about it, he was still quite afraid.
If he did not have the support of the treasure and his physique remained in the single digits, his arm, which was no different from an ordinary human, would have crumbled into a bloody mess in an instant.
He won’t be able to break the ice with his skinny arms!
He didn’t even feel a thing thanks to the attribute duplication when his fist hit the cold surface.
And if one wanted to use their limbs to fight, the requirements for their physique would be even higher.
[You’ve killed Blazing Butterfly (level 17), +1 exp ]
[You’ve killed Blazing Butterfly (level 20), +4 exp ]
[…]
The kill notification in front of his eyes pulled him back to reality.
His mission today was to go to the Rocky Highlands to kill monsters and reach level 20. To kill monsters faster, he chose to copy the Ice Queen’s mana attribute.
“To the Rocky Highlands!”
He waved at the Ice Queen, and they headed west together.
…
The sun shone on the vast grassland of the Red Orchard.
Right underneath the glare of the sun, about two thousand players gathered there.
These were the people who had been recruited to find the mysterious newbie. They had heard that someone had seen an enormous meteorite falling from the sky to the West of the Burning Scorched Earth, so they had all gathered to discuss some countermeasures.
“The west side of Scorched Earth? He can’t be in the Rocky Highlands, right?”
“There are monsters above level 20 there. Aren’t we sending ourselves to our early graves?”
“We can’t even cross the Burning Scorched Earth, let alone the Rocky Highland!”
“…”
The players argued back and forth as they fought against the Red Fruit Monsters around them, advancing in an orderly manner.
Today was already the fourth day since they entered God’s Path. Most players had already reached level 3, and the faster ones had already reached either level 4 or level 5.
Plus, the large number of people made it difficult for them to progress through the Red Orchard.
Some players who had risen to fame in District 66 these past few days were leading in front of the crowd. One of them was the player from White Eagle Nation, Kaizer.
On the first day of entering God’s Path, many people rushed to the places where treasure chests were more likely to appear on the Beginner Maps.
With his many years of training, Kaizer found treasure chests relatively easily.
He was also lucky enough to get a rare 1 Star skill from it!
[Demon Hound Transformation (1 Star) ]: Transform into a mutt from hell, the Demon Hound. During the duration of the transformation, 1% of the current health points will be consumed every minute. You can cancel the transformation state at any time.
With this skill, Kaize quickly stood out among the newcomers.
And when God’s Path ended yesterday, he had successfully risen to level 5.
With his higher level and strength, the remaining 2,000 people let him walk in front of them without any complaints.
“How are we going to cross the Burning Scorched Earth?!” Arhan, a wealthy merchant from the white elephant Kingdom, walked beside Kaize and asked him with a frown.
Arhan was in his forties, slightly chubby, and had a Mediterranean hairstyle. He wore a pair of square-rimmed glasses, a black short-sleeved shirt, and a couple of loose gray sweatpants.
He looked like an old man who was out for a morning run.
He was extremely interested in this mysterious newbie in his district. He had even spent quite a bit of money to set up a temporary scouting team.
There were a total of five people on his team following behind him.
“This…”
The 25-year-old Kaizer was only a head taller than Arhan, who was 1.65 meters tall. When he heard the latter’s question, he glanced at the older man’s head, his face blank, then slowly muttered, “The monsters there are all above level 10.”
“We have two thousand people. If we force our way in, there should be a few dozen people who can successfully pass through.”
The meaning behind it was obvious.
Sacrifice the majority to let the minority pass.
“We all have the same goal. As long as one of us finds him, it’s the same as everyone finding him.” Kaizer agreed. “Besides, there’s no punishment for dying for now. I think it’s completely possible.”
Hearing this, Arhan nodded his head as if he understood.
This was what most of the 2,000 people were thinking.
However…
When the “main team” passed through the Red Orchard and arrived at their destination, the team of more than a thousand people suddenly became scattered in just a few seconds.
“Hahahaha! Thank you for escorting me here. I’ll go and see who that mysterious player is first!” Someone jumped out of the crowd with a loud laugh and then disappeared.
This player has an invisibility skills.
With his current physical strength, he couldn’t go all the way from the Red Orchard to the Rocky Highlands in stealth mode. After safely arriving at the Burning Scorched Earth, he finally had the confidence to go to the Rocky Highlands alone!
“I’m not going to die with you guys! I’ll be making a move first!” Another person in the crowd shouted. When everyone heard the voice and looked over, the player proudly transformed into a giant eagle and quickly flew into the sky.
He flew towards the West at high speed.
In addition to these two people, the players in the crowd who were lucky enough to obtain other skills also showed their abilities.
Some used teleportation skills, some summoned beasts that could fly, and some sat on the spot and used scouting skills like clairvoyance.
The remaining players looked at each other, feeling slightly troubled and awkward.
It was a temporary search party, so it was normal for them to leave. However, this made the players still standing in the same place seem a little stupid.
‘Others have skills that make it easier to look for that player, but I don’t. Why can’t I join in on the fun?‘ Many people grumbled in their minds, feeling foolish at this moment.
