Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Blood Hell Forbidden Land.

“President, this teleportation was successful for all 5,000 people, and…”

Hai Tang, the vice-captain of the Rose Legion, reported to the frowning Emei Ci.

“And what?”

Emei Ci deftly twirled a small ice-blue knife between her fingers.

She was officially recognized as the number one Night Blade, with the title of Human Weapon.

Her strength was mainly reflected in this small icy knife in her hand.

This small knife in her hands was said to be able to pierce through others’ souls, which wasn’t just an idle boast.

Hai Tang glanced at Emei Ci’s hand, her eyes focusing slightly as she took a small step back, “And they’re all in the same location.”

“All in the same location?”

Emei Ci’s eyes narrowed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly as she turned back to stare at Hai Tang.

“No wonder I felt something was off as soon as I entered. It seems the Blood Hell Forbidden Land has undergone some changes.”

The Blood Hell Forbidden Land had always randomly teleported teams. Even with the best luck, it was impossible for 500 teams to be teleported to the same point simultaneously.

“What should we do then? Vice President, this time we made a military order to the president that we would definitely bring back the guild establishment token. If there are any changes that affect this plan, I’ll surely be expelled from the Temple when we return!”

Hai Tang showed signs of anxiety.

But Emei Ci appeared very calm, her beautiful face showing little expression.

“There’s no need to panic. This time, Vice President Su’s plan is foolproof. As long as we find the NPC Nuoduo in Hope City and have her activate the teleportation formation, we can directly teleport to the nearest Blood Void City and kill the Blood Hell Blade Guard leader.”

Emei Ci spoke with great confidence.

This plan was devised by Su Lian’ya.

Su Lian’ya used her advantages to obtain an S-grade hidden quest scroll from the city lord of Blood Void City outside the Blood Hell Forbidden Land.

The task recorded in this hidden quest scroll was to help repair the teleportation formation in Hope City.

The Temple had spent enormous resources to collect the precious items needed to repair the teleportation formation.

But as long as they could complete the task, not only would they receive generous rewards, but they could also use the teleportation formation to transport their 5,000-strong Rose Legion to Blood Void City, the closest city in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land, to kill the three leaders of Blood Void City.

Although the three leaders were all level 60 bosses, with their strength, they could defeat them one by one.

This task was like killing two birds with one stone.

“Actually, these changes in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land might be good for us.”

Although Emei Ci’s face showed little expression, her tone carried a hint of joy.

“All 500 teams gathered in one place saves us the time of assembling the teams and the inevitable losses. This might be the will of heaven.”

“But…”

After hearing Emei Ci’s words, Hai Tang, who should have been very happy, didn’t show the excited expression Emei Ci had imagined. Instead, she hesitated to speak, causing Emei Ci’s pretty face to change.

“But what?”

Sensing something amiss, Emei Ci’s tone also became more cautious.

“President, our team… the place we’re in now is… is Hope City.”

Hai Tang held her breath, seeming afraid to say it, but finally gathered the courage to tell Emei Ci the truth.

“You mean… this ruins?”

Emei Ci pulled her legs out of the blood-colored powder they were sunk in, her pretty face changing again.

“These ruins… are Hope City?”

Looking around at the desolate surroundings, with nothing but a sea of blood-colored sand-like powder, not even a single blood cedar tree in sight – this was Hope City.

Seeing Hai Tang nod with a grim expression, Emei Ci finally realized the severity of the problem.

“Then… what about Nuoduo? Have you found her?”

Emei Ci knew Hai Tang wouldn’t joke about something like this, despite how unbelievable it seemed.

“The entire Hope City has turned into ruins. We only found an old man weaving straw sandals. Other than that, there’s nobody at all.”

“An old man weaving straw sandals?” Emei Ci’s eyes lit up. “Anyone who can survive in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land must be extraordinary.”

“Where is he?”

“Well…”

Hai Tang’s gaze suddenly lowered.

Seeing her like this, Emei Ci knew something was wrong.

Since they couldn’t find Nuoduo, this old man must be a key figure!

Emei Ci let out a frustrated sigh.

“Continue searching for Nuoduo. An NPC can’t just disappear without reason after players receive a quest but before submitting it. There’s no precedent for this in the gaming world.”

Emei Ci believed Nuoduo must be somewhere in these ruins.

“Yes.”

Hai Tang’s heart eased a bit as she retreated.

Only Emei Ci remained, silently playing with her ice-blue knife.

However, the knife in her hand seemed to be spinning even faster now.

“What’s really going on?”

Emei Ci knelt down, grabbed a handful of powder from the ground, and examined it carefully.

After looking, she frowned slightly.

“It’s not just soil, but also walls, wooden powder?”

Emei Ci’s eyes narrowed, “There’s clearly been a great battle here.”

“What kind of strength would it take to do this?”

Destroying a city might be difficult for an individual, but if their entire Rose Legion mobilized, it would be possible.

The difficulty lay in reducing an entire city to fine powder!

To achieve this level of destruction, that person’s strength must be beyond her imagination.

She let her hand go, allowing the powder to fall between her fingers.

“What exactly happened?”

Thinking of Fist Sage and the others who had been here before, Emei Ci felt this must have something to do with them.

However… with Fist Sage and his team’s strength, they definitely couldn’t have reduced an entire city to powder.

“It shouldn’t be their doing.” Emei Ci shook her head and checked their Temple’s achievements in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land’s achievement interface.

Killing bosses in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land also earned achievements, which were essentially Blood Hell Qi.

This Blood Hell Qi could be used to temporarily strengthen oneself or exchanged for Blood Hell points.

It was said that when Blood Hell points reached 20 million, they could be directly exchanged for a guild establishment token.

Emei Ci was thinking that if they really couldn’t find Nuoduo, they would have to spend more than ten days accumulating points to obtain the guild establishment token.

A level 30 Blade Guard Boss would drop 100,000 Blood Hell Qi, and only the killer would receive it.

Blood Hell points couldn’t be traded.

She calculated that if they didn’t consider the final attribution issue, their team could only enter for one hour each time, and could kill about 10 bosses per entry.

That’s 1 million points.

If they had to consider final attribution, they’d have to leave the last hit to the same person, so they could only kill about 8 bosses per entry.

That’s 80,000 points.

It would take 25 days.

“Damn, 25 days, it’ll be too late by then.”

Emei Ci’s mouth twitched, feeling very troubled.

Although as their levels increased and they became stronger, it would definitely get faster later on. It probably wouldn’t take 25 days, maybe 18 days at most.

But even 18 days was hard for her to accept.

“If only we could shorten the time to one minute per boss.”

One boss per minute, with the current advantage of having all teams gathered, they could kill about 45 bosses per hour.

In that case, it would only take 5 days to gather enough, which would be acceptable.

However, as soon as Emei Ci had this thought, she felt it was absurd.

How could there possibly be a team that could kill a Blood Hell Blade Guard in one minute at this stage?

But the next moment, when she suddenly saw the kill time ranking list next to the point ranking list, she was stunned.
