Chapter 276: with translation of chapter title

Main text Chapter 276: The Lingering Underworld

Only one hour left.

Players of level 100 are increasing every minute and second, and members of all major organizations and factions are actively preparing for war, ready to compete with the international server's players.

When the borders were not yet open, the major cities of Longguo had not yet unlocked the "Occupy the Main City" gameplay.

Since the benefits of occupying a main city apply to all players nationwide, and within Longguo's borders everyone is our own, there's no need to do this.

However, after the borders opened and the gameplay was enabled, Longguo's seven major cities and war cities will soon be challenged.

Challenges are initiated by guild as a unit, with up to three guilds able to form an alliance and fight together.

The challenged main city will dispatch a 3000-person NPC army to defend, and players from other factions can also assist the NPC army in defending the city.

The battle lasts 2 hours, during which killing enemy faction players does not accrue slaughter value.

After 2 hours, if the attackers breach the city walls and slay the defending NPC commander, the attackers win and the city's ownership changes.

If they fail to breach the walls, or if the defending NPC commander survives when the city is breached, the main city's ownership remains unchanged and it enters a 3-day "challenge cooldown period".

Only after 3 days can a new challenge be initiated.

Given current player levels, a 3000-person NPC army is utterly insufficient; even a demigod boss would regret facing hundreds of thousands of players attacking together.

Therefore, the true main defensive force is surely the players who occupy the main city.

War City is Xiao Feng's territory; although after being "occupied," he remains the lord, merely delegating a small portion of urban management rights to other forces.

But he still cannot accept this situation!

If anyone dares to target War City, he will surely strike back with a thunderbolt!

After chatting a few words with Candle Dragon, Xiao Feng hung up the chat.

Shen Di and Zhan Tian also inquired again about his whereabouts, and Xiao Feng gave the same answer.

After a while, the fixed team's chat subgroup also began discussing this matter.

Dun Dun said: "Three senior brothers, Sister Miao and Mang Mei, where should we go fight later?"

Xiao Feng replied: "I don't feel like moving for now; you can team up and go play on your own."

Zhang Fan and Li Li both knew he was in a somewhat unpleasant mood due to offline events.

Old Zhang voluntarily took on the task of leading the team, saying: "Without Old Xiao, our team's defense would be slightly stronger than its offense; I suggest we go help defend a certain city."

"That sounds fine; War City has Old Xiao, so we don't need to worry—let's go to Long Xue Cheng, where we'll surely face the highest difficulty challenge." Li Li echoed.

He said.

"I'm fine with anything; I've been saving my weapon skills for today." Xing Yun Miao had no objection.

Her weapon is of transcendent mythic grade; once its active skill is used, it becomes a massive-range group instant kill.

Although not as strong as Xiao Feng, it is currently the most terrifying large-scale AOE at this stage.

Mang Mei, upon hearing this, also said: "Hmm, then let's go; defending the city is more advantageous for my performance."

She, who also possesses a transcendent mythic weapon, currently has output surpassing Zhang Fan; her group skill can wipe out a large area in one second, and her single-target skill is horrifying to hear!

"If we can't hold out, we'll call Old Xiao. Long Xue Cheng is our Longguo's dignified city; we absolutely cannot afford to lose it!" Zhang Fan added.

Young people's patriotism is the same whether in life or in the game.

No matter where, the motherland's dignity must be upheld!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng also felt a spark of patriotic enthusiasm.

He said: "Before heading out, go home once; I have many mythic scrolls here—take them all to use, no need to spare them for me."

No need to take supplies from War City's treasury; just the scrolls he picked up after slaying various mythic bosses are enough to wipe out a legion.

To him, these things might be trash, not even as useful as a fireball spell.

But in the hands of ordinary players, each is a missile-grade killer!

"All right! Thanks for the great support, Great God Xiao Feng!" Li Li laughed loudly.

The chat was temporarily closed.

Xiao Feng checked the time, preparing to go to the lord's manor for a trip to see if Barik had figured out the purpose of that sword hilt.

At this moment, Dai Ni Si was still circling him; the joy of earning 100 million gold coins filled her eyes with smiles.

"Xiao Feng, are you going out?"

Seeing Xiao Feng about to leave, she asked and cheerfully followed after him.

"Hmm, I have things to do; you play by yourself."

"Mm, can't I bring her along?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Feng firmly refused.

After receiving his help several times, this NPC girl's favorability toward him skyrocketed, and she has already developed dependence.

To avoid developing strange feelings toward an NPC, Xiao Feng decided to keep a proper distance, lest it later develop into some embarrassing situation.

Under Dai Ni Si's gaze of stomping her feet and pouting angrily, he left the Xiao residence.

The lord's manor is just next door, a few steps away.

At this moment, there are many players near the teleportation array, likely all prepared to set out.

To go play in other countries.

Xiao Feng had a large "handsome" character emblazoned above his head, very conspicuous.

Some passersby seeing him cast surprised glances and asked which country's friends he planned to bully next.

Xiao Feng smiled and greeted the crowd, but didn't say much more.

"Hey, surnamed Xiao!"

At that moment, a person with a "Underworld" emblem on their head stepped out and blocked the path.

It was the Underworld War King, the guy who previously tried to rescue Underworld Wushuang from prison.

"What's up?" Seeing this person, the unpleasant feelings in Xiao Feng's heart were stirred again, and his expression instantly turned cold.

War King Under Heaven shouted: "Where is the Peerless? What did you do to him?"

Xiao Feng shrugged: "I went back to the newbie village."

"That's not what I asked!" War King Under Heaven snapped.

Peerless Under Heaven has lost contact.

In the game, more than two days; Xian Xia, five hours.

Before this, Peerless Under Heaven's last appearance was to say he would go Xian Xia to take out Xiao Feng.

Meanwhile, Xiao Feng has returned to the game unharmed, but Peerless Under Heaven has not shown up.

As a comrade, War King Under Heaven naturally jumps to the worst conclusions!

His guess is clearly correct, but Xiao Feng could never openly admit it.

He gave a slight smile, feigning ignorance: "What are you asking? I'm not close with him."

"He went to find you!" War King Under Heaven's expression turned furious.

But he didn't dare say, in front of everyone, "He went to Xian Xia to cause you trouble."

Xiao Feng's fame is huge; recently, with the borders opening, many believe he will be a figure of great importance, able to bring glory to the nation.

If the truth were spoken now, "the world" would be labeled with a traitor's hat.

But he is indeed worried about Peerless Under Heaven, so he couldn't help but stop Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng laughed: "Why did he come to find me? To apologize? I have nothing to discuss with you lot; if you want to curry favor, just give it up."

"Where the hell is he?!" War King Under Heaven saw Xiao Feng feigning ignorance and flew into a rage.

He let out a loud roar, drawing everyone's attention.

At that moment, a figure walked over from afar, patted War King Under Heaven on the shoulder, and said: "A Zhan, no need to ask him; I've already sent people to look. Some things shouldn't be said in the game."

This person is none other than the guild leader of the World Guild, Invincible Under Heaven.

Xiao Feng exchanged a glance with him; beneath Invincible Under Heaven's calm eyes, a hint of killing intent stirred.
