Full of deadly quicksand that could trap players, this area was designed as a massive Möbius strip, where players would walk for half a day only to end up back at the starting point. Such a devious design was Wang Shenmu’s idea, but he did leave a slim chance of escape. To get out, one had to deliberately sink into the quicksand, sacrificing much health to find the hidden transfer point within, an idea few would think of. Those teleported into the Wild God’s Circle were truly unfortunate. Players teleported to the “Green Oasis” had to eliminate the monsters devouring the greenery before the green was entirely consumed to activate the transfer point, or else they’d have to take a long detour to reach the “Abyss of Lawlessness.” Ultimately, players would end up in the underground maze known as the “Abyss of Lawlessness,” where the mythical beast, the Alpaca, had its lair. Finding the key, opening the lair, and taming the Alpaca would yield the divine artifact “Alpaca’s Dream.” Wang Shenmu explained that “Twilight of the Gods” represented rebirth, “Snow God’s Umbrella” represented new beginnings, “Bodhi Flower Dye” represented slaughter, and “Alpaca’s Dream” represented plunder.
Originally, only rogues could loot equipment from corpses, but now, any class wearing this necklace could plunder everything from the dead, including items in the opponent’s inventory that rogues couldn’t normally access, with a 100% success rate. Just the thought of this could drive all twelve classes in the server crazy. Wang Shenmu had shared these secrets only with Yi Chao Huan Yan. Now, they walked together through the maze of Celestial Burial City, a summoner and a travesti ranger. Wang Shenmu would occasionally stop to wait for the transfer points to change according to their pattern, while Yi Chao Huan Yan followed closely behind, his fingers poised over the keys for a lethal move, ready to strike if Wang Shenmu showed any signs of betrayal.
“Ah-ha, got the key! Old Chen really came through!” Han Yan Yan was teleported to the testing ground where she excitedly picked up the key, confident no one would suspect her of cheating. Players watching from outside could only marvel at her incredible luck. A level 200 Cleric, Liuli, was swaggering through the Abyss, convinced that this was the key to defeating the divine beast and obtaining the divine weapon. She just needed to find the beast’s lair…
While others were still figuring out how to pass the first level, she was already looking down on them from near the finish line. Yes, she was a Cleric, and while others couldn’t use potions, she could heal herself with her skills. It didn’t matter that her attack power wasn’t high; she could take her time to fight monsters and search. She felt no pressure at all, as others hadn’t even touched the door to this Abyss. Han Yanyan suddenly discovered, with horror, that on the stone bridge opposite her in the Abyss, a group of people were walking close together. Due to the terrain, she couldn’t get there, but she recognized them: they were the seven High Priests of the Mythical Dawn Court of Da Yan and King Nanbowan. The group walked straight across the stone bridge and into a dark cave, disappearing from her sight. “How do we get around this damn place…” one of the priests was starting to lose his cool. In fact, they were incredibly lucky; upon teleportation, they had arrived inside the End of Law Abyss. They didn’t know where they were at first until they saw a door on the opposite cliff face. [The Lair of the Divine Beast, The Gate of Dreams.] Ten large characters were etched into the cliff. They were stunned for a moment, then ecstatic.
The legend of subduing the divine beast to rule the west had always circulated among players, and now the divine beast’s lair was right before them! After the initial joy, they became depressed. The opposite cliff looked close, the glaring teleportation point was right there, but due to the terrain, they couldn’t get there. Below them was a thousand-foot drop into lava; jumping would mean certain death by falling or burning. After observing for a while, they noticed that the teleportation point near the lair seemed to lead to the surface. They started looking for a path to the ground, hoping to find an entrance to loop back. Thus, the group from Yan country wandered in the maze, getting further and further away…
“Damn, are all these monsters reincarnated from starved ghosts?” Ah Cao and his band of rogues appeared in the Green Oasis. Just as they were about to enjoy the scenery, a swarm of monsters descended from the sky, attacking them. The monsters were voraciously consuming the plants, a phenomenon never seen in the human world. A few clever rogues realized this was similar to “Plants vs. Zombies”; perhaps they needed to protect the oasis from being eaten by the monsters… So, the rogues picked up their weapons and engaged in battle with the monsters.
The monsters kept coming, more and more, and the group of rogues frantically mashed their keyboards, finding the fight increasingly difficult.
As evening fell, another level 400+ demonic camel was killed, collapsing with a thunderous roar. [[Team] “Red Medicine Hall”: Damn, the monsters in the desert are indeed not meant for humans to fight.] Su Yao commented; it was practically a death trap. [[Team] “Three Paths River”: A scroll.] [[Team] “Red Medicine Hall”: Huh? Holy crap! Really!] Su Yao was astonished to see that a scroll had dropped from the camel, which had dropped nothing all day. Was this the activation of a quest? She remembered the scroll from the Snow Maiden quest and hurried to pick it up, but Three Paths River blocked her. [[Team] “Three Paths River”: Quicksand.] [[Team] “Red Medicine Hall”: …Holy crap.] What kind of luck was this! The spot where the scroll had fallen was slightly darker, clearly a quicksand trap! Before she could finish her curse, Three Paths River executed an “Eagle Strike Soaring Sky” skill, using it as a teleport to reach where the scroll had landed and quickly picked it up. Despite this, his body was sinking deeper into the quicksand, having missed the chance to leap out of the trap. 1%, 1%, another 1%…
his health was flashing and decreasing. Just as his upper body was about to be engulfed by the sand, he managed to open his inventory and with a long mouse drag, threw the scroll at Su Yao’s feet. Three Paths River was completely swallowed, the proud figure of the assassin disappearing into the vast desert.
The scroll Qin Chuan last threw to Su Yao lay in her inventory. Looking at the description, she just wanted to curse: Grass Mud Horse! What invitation, what party, she didn’t want any of it! Who allowed him to rush forward without a word, ah! Leading the way was one thing, listening to him was another, even killing him was fine, but she’d rather end him herself than let the Grim Reaper die in such a stupid quicksand trap! In the team channel, Three Paths River sent a message: “Yao Yao.” Su Yao thought this was his last words before his body floated away, and she angrily typed back: “Damn it, where’s your body? I’ll go collect it!” “…I’m not dead.” “Huh??” “But I’m close.” “…
