Chapter 103: Triggering a Hidden Quest 《Please Subscribe!!!》

Unable to break out of the enemy crowd, they were forced to defend.

All Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei could do was kill wave after wave of attacking Yellow Turbans and players who had joined the Yellow Turbans.

As many as a million enemies, dense and swarming like a flood, surged toward Liu Bei even more crazily.

It was as if they wanted to swallow him alive and annihilate him in that surging torrent.

What was the concept of a million enemies?

Even if the three of them could each wipe out a thousand people with one martial skill.

Killing a million people would require at least a thousand martial skills.

Could Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei unleash so many?

Of course not!

They were human, not gods!

Even Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, two peerless warriors possessing strength far beyond ordinary people, could not continuously unleash martial skills a thousand times.

At most, after a hundred times, they would fall into a state of exhaustion.

Moreover, the Yellow Turbans attacking this time were not weak, containing a large number of high-tier and elite troops, building layer upon layer of encirclement centered on the defensive line formed by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei...

The three of them had just started their journey, and they were already facing a bitter battle!

Countless Yellow Turbans and players who had joined the Yellow Turbans, along with their respective troops, charged at the three of them without fear of death.

On one hand, they were doing it for the reward promised by Guan Hai, to be able to receive the baptism of Zhang Jiao’s Taiping Essential Arts.

On the other hand, it was naturally for the three divine weapons in the furnace behind the three men.

A pair of male and female swords, a crescent moon blade engraved with dragon patterns, and a pitch-black spear, under the forging of the old blacksmith, had already begun to radiate a supernatural brilliance.

There was no need to think; one knew these were three treasures.

Players were not stupid; they wouldn't really risk their lives just for the baptism of the Taiping Essential Arts, which sounded awesome but was actually ethereal.

The main reason was still to snatch the divine weapons behind Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

Where there is desire, there is motivation.

Besides, those players didn't even need to take action themselves; they only needed to order their respective NPC troops to attack Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

Coupled with the Yellow Turbans themselves, under the leadership of Guan Hai, they were also attacking Liu, Guan, and Zhang without fear of death.

They didn't give the three of them a moment to catch their breath.

As for the Zhuoxian commander and the remaining Zhuoxian elites, they had already fallen at some unknown time.

So now.

Only Liu, Guan, and Zhang were left, facing the encirclement of a million enemies alone.

Isolated and helpless!

That was the description of their current situation.

It could also be said that they were in a dilemma.

Master Pu Yuan behind them was still forging divine weapons for them and could not be pulled away to retreat.

They couldn't fight, and they couldn't retreat.

In the end, they could only be swallowed by the sea of people formed by the Yellow Turbans and player troops.

It must be said here.

In fact, the current Liu, Guan, and Zhang were not in their most powerful state.

They had just sacrificed their vital essence to forge the divine weapons and were in a weakened state, unable to exert even seventy percent of their strength.

Besides that.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang were still just starting out; whether it was equipment or strength, they had not reached their peak state.

Even Guan Yu, known as the Martial Saint, and Zhang Fei, who was brave enough to roar at Changban Slope... at this period, they were still in a growth phase.

When surrounded by a million enemies, they would feel powerless if they were powerless!

Even the two peerless warriors were like this, let alone Liu Bei, who was much weaker.

In fact.

They seemed to have fallen into a dead end.

As time passed, the encirclement of the Yellow Turbans and player troops intensified.

Liu, Guan, and Zhang had already begun to look strained, unless they could burn their bridges, unleash some hidden potential, or some new turning point appeared.

Otherwise, the three of them might fall here today.

Su Li remained in the back, watching all of this with cold eyes.

He let the Yellow Turbans and the players who had joined the Yellow Turbans continue to attack Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

He really wanted to see if they could take down Liu, Guan, and Zhang under the continuous attacks of such a massive number of enemies.

If in this world, they could really be finished off as soon as they appeared, that would probably be very interesting, right?

After all, the three of them could be considered part of the protagonists of the Three Kingdoms world.

For these protagonists to receive their "lunch box" as soon as they appeared.

It was definitely a scene rarely seen even in novels.

Su Li was holding onto this anticipation, watching the battle.

It was a pity there were no melon seeds, peanuts, or soda; otherwise, being a spectator on the side would be perfect.

However...

Things went against his wishes.

Just as Su Li was preparing to remain a spectator, a prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes.

【Ding! You have triggered the hidden quest 'Rescue the Three Brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang'】

【Quest Description: Important warriors of the Han faction, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, are being surrounded and killed by the Yellow Turban faction and are in a crisis state. It is hoped that you will step in to help and rescue them】

【Quest Success: You will gain the favor of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, as well as some hidden rewards】

【Quest Failure: You will be forced to join the Yellow Turban faction and will be unable to change back to the Han faction】

……

Looking at the prompt that suddenly appeared, Su Li was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously spat out two words.

"What the hell?"

What the hell?

The system actually took the initiative to issue a hidden quest, and it was to rescue the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang?

Not only that, but this quest was triggered directly; there was no such thing as accepting or not accepting.

Although there were rewards for quest success.

But there were actually penalties for quest failure?

Once failed, he would be forced to join the Yellow Turban faction and couldn't change back to the Han faction?

Is this a joke!!!

Whether Liu, Guan, and Zhang lived or died, what did it have to do with him?

Why did he have to trigger this kind of mandatory quest?

Su Li instantly felt resentment toward the system.

Wouldn't it be better to watch Liu, Guan, and Zhang finish off?

Wouldn't it be great to have one less potential major competitor in the future?

Now that this quest was issued, wasn't this like forcing a duck onto a perch, forcing him to save the three of them?

Unless he didn't want to mix in the Han faction, there was simply no room for choice!

Su Li was depressed, knowing that the Han faction would definitely win.

He had no choice but to step in to rescue the three of them.

There was nothing to say about that.

Otherwise, he would have to join the Yellow Turban faction, go down one path to the dark, and aim to overthrow the Han imperial court.

But if he did that, the difficulty would undoubtedly soar to hell mode.

It wouldn't be as easy as rescuing the three of them now.

However, even so.

Su Li didn't take action immediately; he waited a bit longer.

He would wait until the three of them were truly at their wits' end, and until the Yellow Turban side had been exhausted by them.

Then he would strike forcefully and turn the tide.

This would not only reduce his own losses but also maximize the favor of the three!

After all, kindness shown at the moment of death could be considered true life-saving grace!
