Chapter 13: The Unlucky Ghost of a Fallen Hero
On the third morning, as the first rays of sunlight appeared on the earth,
the new lord Xu Meng got up early. The events of yesterday had kept him from sleeping well.
What could possibly have brought down a griffin flying 300 meters high?
Getting out of bed in the farmhouse, Xu Meng looked somewhat dejected,
and with his already gaunt face,
he looked like a sick man.
"No, I must cheer up!"
"Today is the third day, and in four more days, the monster wave will arrive!"
"I have advanced troops, griffins, and they are flying units. I can definitely take the lead over others!"
"I want to become a great lord!"
Xu Meng encouraged himself,
getting up even earlier than the farmers in his territory.
After eating, he started to get busy.
Unloading timber, plowing fields,
anything he could do to improve efficiency, he did.
When his hero woke up,
he and the hero rode two griffins and went out to level up.
Because of the encounter yesterday,
he didn't fly around recklessly today,
but instead followed the explored areas, letting the hero and the griffins hunt and level up.
"Ximan, can you reach level 5 today?" Lying on the back of the griffin, he asked the middle-aged man beside him.
The middle-aged man, sitting upright on the griffin, answered very seriously:
"No problem, my lord."
Ximan was an ordinary hero, a human warrior.
Even though he was an ordinary hero, he grew to be very powerful,
the strength of a hero lies in their growth potential.
With a spear in hand, he coordinated with the griffin to attack, and most beasts were no match for him.
Xu Meng nodded in satisfaction, completely putting the unpleasantness of yesterday behind him.
"Let's go, I explored there yesterday, and there are beasts active."
Xu Meng pointed to the west, directing the griffins to fly forward.
The two griffins, carrying him and Ximan, flew in the blue sky, overlooking the land.
Suddenly, a loud rumble shook the heavens and earth,
causing both men and beasts to shudder.
"What's going on?!"
Xu Meng was momentarily stunned, and then he lost his vision.
The world was filled with blinding light, a sea of whiteness.
"Land, land quickly!"
The griffins, having lost their vision, panicked and flapped their wings wildly.
Flying without vision was extremely dangerous; unable to distinguish up from down or left from right, they might crash into the ground and not even know why.
Fortunately, they did not lose their vision for long,
and the griffins slowly descended.
"Phew... what just happened?"
Xu Meng looked around and saw that they hadn't entered the area from yesterday, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly,
the sound of an arrow slicing through the air was heard,
and a figure was sent flying off the back of the griffin!
[Your hero Ximan has been killed.]
The hero Xi Man, unable to react in time, was shot by the arrow and fell to the ground, dead.
[Your unit, Griffin, has died.]
[Your unit, Griffin, has died.]
[You have died and are returning to the lord's crystal for rebirth...]
[Rebirth complete.]
Xu Meng stared blankly at the familiar territory,
motionless, like a wooden chicken.
After a while, a heart-wrenching, furious scream echoed through the valley:
"F*ck you!!!!!!!"
The farmers in the territory, stunned, looked at their lord,
no one daring to approach or say anything, and after a moment, they continued with their farming.
Two streams of tears flowed from his sunken eye sockets,
quickly wetting Xu Meng's gaunt cheeks.
He suddenly squatted on the ground, unable to stop crying.
"Wuwuwu…"
"This is such a bullying act… such a damn bullying act."
"I didn't even enter your territory… I didn't even get a clear look at it."
"I was just leveling up my units and heroes in the wild forest, and I got shot…"
"It's only the third day… what kind of thing can have that kind of range?"
As he cried, Xu Meng felt more and more wronged.
What kind of situation is this?
He thought he had a bright future with the high-level flying unit building he randomly got at the start.
But unexpectedly, on the second day, his level 3 Griffin was shot dead.
On the third day, the two Griffins he had just recruited, and even his hero… were all shot dead.
Xu Meng, filled with grief and anger, felt as if his career as a lord was over,
how could he possibly deal with the monster wave in four days?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became,
the sadder, the angrier.
"Damn you, I'm going to report you!"
"You must have exploited a loophole in the rules of the battlefield of myriad worlds!"
"Damn it! You can't bully people like this!"
Xu Meng opened the lord's terminal forum and went on a rant,
recounting his misfortune and accusing the battlefield of myriad worlds of being unfair.
"Who's the idiot, making up stories without any basis?"
"You were shot from over a thousand meters away?"
"Why don't you title it 'On the third day, I was killed by a sniper cannon'?"
"Hilarious, exploiting loopholes in the battlefield rules?"
"Anyone who can exploit the battlefield rules would kill you with a glance."
"Those are all divine-level heroes who have reached level 100."
In the battlefield of myriad worlds, reaching level 100 means becoming a god, and understanding the rules is impossible before reaching level 100.
Seeing all the replies were insults, Xu Meng felt wronged and cried again.
……
[Congratulations, your arrow tower has killed the high-level unit, Griffin ×2, and obtained 20 Griffin meat chunks.]
[Congratulations, your arrow tower has killed the ordinary hero, Human Warrior, and obtained 1 Warrior promotion certificate.]
Su Yu scratched his head, looking at the messages on the lord's terminal,
Griffins again?
He was very grateful for the Griffin that had come to him earlier.
The soft feathers from the Griffin's belly provided him with pajamas.
The feather robe Sylph wore was woven by Li Li Huahua from the soft feathers of the Griffin.
This level 5 arrow tower had a range 1.5 times that of other level 1 arrow towers,
and with the boost from his mythic talent, it reached a terrifying level.
He wondered which unlucky person had lost even their hero this time...
"Sylph, come back and take the new hero of the territory out to level up."
Su Yu didn't pay much attention, sending a message to Sylph, glancing at the mythic angel beside him, and adding:
"If she doesn't listen, take her to see the Dark Flame Dragon to the northwest.".
