Chapter 1219: Dragon Pearl

Because of the activity on the National Battle Map, Su Sheng's monster‑hunting speed today wasn't very fast; when the daily game time ended, he had killed fewer than twenty.

Mainly, Su Sheng himself felt some uncertainty, carrying a faint sense of laziness.

After all, if tomorrow's situation looks bleak, he would definitely have to quit this trial, which carries the same penalty as quitting a Dungeon: a deduction of the current 50% of experience.

He hasn't even reached 50% of his total experience yet, so today it would be wiped out completely, and the Dungeon progress would have to start over.

So if he pushes too hard today and really has to quit tomorrow, wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

Moreover, counting from the first day, this is already the fourth day of the trial, and he has no idea when the monster‑hunting will end.

That daytime, while Su Sheng was at work, he heard college students discussing related topics, which all turned into the Allied Forces issue on Ying Jiang's servers.

After all, their actions are being watched by the big guilds on the Domestic Server, so rumors spreading among the many mouths is quite normal.

Nevertheless, the overall atmosphere on the game forums remains good.

Everyone is willing to believe that the Fourth Rebirth experts on the Domestic Server can hold the line!

At the same time, the already keen enthusiasm for leveling spikes again.

At moments like this, anyone with a bit of bloodlust wants to rush to 80‑level Fourth Rebirth to help kill enemies on the National Battle Map.

…

Nothing to say.

During game time, Su Sheng logged in and appeared again in the Dragon Abyss map.

Su Sheng didn't rush to kill monsters; instead, he asked about the current situation on the National Battle Map via Private Chat.

But the relevant arrangements had already been made yesterday.

In total, over 2,000 players at 80‑level Fourth Rebirth were evenly distributed among the Main Cities of the four National Battle Maps, with roughly 500 players stationed in each Main City.

Later, manpower will be reallocated according to the specific actions of Ying Jiang's Allied Forces.

Having confirmed that there were no major oversights in their arrangement and that he couldn't intervene for now, Su Sheng stopped paying further attention and chose to keep moving forward.

Then he began his daily grind with the "Bone Dragon".

However, he hadn't killed a Bone Dragon yet.

Su Sheng would then check the Allied Forces' movements.

After slaying two Bone Dragons, the situation with the Allied Forces finally became clear.

It wasn't just those major‑nation servers; many United Servers were also mixed in, leaving Su Sheng speechless.

What are these guys gathering for?

Even…

According to Su Sheng, some United Servers have only a single 80‑level Fourth Rebirth player coming to join the fun.

Of course, they're just cannon fodder~

All together, the opposing side numbers over 4,000, nearly twice the number on the Domestic Server side.

Although Domestic Server players have a certain developmental edge, overall everyone has only just entered the 80‑level Fourth Rebirth stage.

Since everyone is an 80‑level Fourth Rebirth player, any gap isn't huge, and the opponent's double headcount is the advantage.

Reading this message, Su Sheng couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Should I go out?!

At this moment, the over 4,000 Allied Forces were not far from the Huaxia Main City on the National Battle Map, gathering at the Huaxia Northern Main City!

At the same time, Huaxia Players also urgently redeployed. At the same time, Huaxia Players also scrambled; roughly 1,900 troops gathered at the Northern Main City on the National Battle Map.

About another hundred were scattered among the other three Main Cities as a precaution.

Although this time the enemy's main force seems concentrated at the Northern Main City, the other three Main Cities can't be left completely empty; if anyone slips in to cause trouble, it would be problematic.

Even though the Allied Forces have gathered most of their manpower, it's not all of it.

…

At present, the situation isn't optimistic, but the battle hasn't started yet, so Su Sheng can't rush.

Withdraw or not? He can't decide for now.

Reluctantly, Su Sheng closed the interface, moved forward again, and an ancient dragon appeared, prompting him to start killing monsters.

Luck was on his side this time; the Bone Dragon's health had just dropped to 10% and before he landed two hits, a finishing technique triggered, killing it outright.

After slaying the ancient dragon, Su Sheng didn't rush to loot; instead, he opened the public channel for a quick glance.

The opponent was still approaching slowly, hadn't engaged formally, and their movement pattern seemed odd, drifting unpredictably.

What is the other side trying to do?

Over an hour of game time has passed today, and they've gathered over 4,000 people yet haven't launched a formal siege.

Is this a game of house?

Su Sheng said he didn't understand.

However, since the fight hasn't started, there's no panic. Su Sheng dismounted, went to pick up the Dragon Breath Pearl dropped by the Bone Dragon.

Just as Su Sheng picked up the Dragon Breath Pearl, a sudden anomaly erupted!

Buzz—

The Dragon Breath Pearl in Su Sheng's hand suddenly flew outward.

Su Sheng was stunned, hadn't reacted, and the next moment… whizz—

All the Dragon Breath Pearls he had collected in his bag over the past few days flew out.

What the heck?!

A dense swarm of Dragon Breath Pearls rose into the air in front of Su Sheng.

Su Sheng suddenly remembered.

After grinding monsters these past few days in my backpack, the number of Dragon Breath beads seems to have already reached 99.

Plus the one I just picked up makes exactly 100!

Initially, when the only stable thing dropped by those bone dragons was the Dragon Breath bead, Su Sheng guessed that this Dragon Abyss trial was definitely related to these Dragon Breath beads.

I never expected it to change just now.

The 100 Dragon Breath beads flew together, then slowly merged, forming a big, round bead.

Dragon Pearl!

Although I couldn't see any information, the moment I saw this bead, the thought popped into Su Sheng's mind.

And indeed, the name of this trial task for the lion-like beast is Purification Dragon Pearl.

That huge Dragon Pearl spun around in midair with a gurgling sound, and as it turned, strands of gray aura spread out from it.

Su Sheng found these gray auras somewhat familiar.

Isn't this exactly the gray aura that condensed into this Dragon Breath bead when I killed those bone dragons earlier?

What the heck is this?

Those gray auras grew denser and spread further.

No matter what, getting ready for battle is the right move.

Su Sheng immediately leapt onto his horse… wait, no, onto the lion-like beast, preparing for battle.

At that moment, the drifting gray aura coalesced into a huge strip-like shape… this shape Su Sheng was very familiar with; he had been grinding bone dragon shapes here for four or five days.

Roar!!

A translucent dragon shape formed purely from these condensed gray auras appeared in midair…
