"This is just why I came over. You can handle it yourself. Alright, it's about time I head back. I just came to see you and get acquainted," Elder Song said, standing up and gazing at the clouds drifting past the window.
"Alright, I'll see you out then." Ye Yun maintained a respectful demeanor towards such a distinguished figure of Hua Guo.
"No need. The helicopter is parked on the rooftop. I won't disturb you two lovebirds," Elder Song said, smiling as he noticed Ding Yi standing quietly outside.
What the heck is lovebirds...
Ye Yun personally escorted him to the private helicopter, then entered the game.
After all, they were still in the preparation phase. Traveling from the US, they still had to pass through the southern seas, which would take at least another week.
By the time Ye Yun logged back in, it was already past five in the evening.
"Holy crap, Comrade Mo Li, what are you doing?" Black Ant was now far from the city, appearing in a desolate desert. Hundreds of poisonous scorpions surrounded Black Ant, with waves of green poison damage numbers popping up above its head.
"Half an hour ago, I was teleported to the outskirts of Di Ting City just as I was leading Black Ant to conquer the 36th major city. I triggered a hidden quest," Mo Li explained, sharing his quest with Ye Yun.
- Lord of the Western Regions (Legendary)
Congratulations to player 'Mo Li' for conquering the Qi Tian Tower of 36 cities and triggering the hidden quest of the Western Regions - Lord of the Western Regions. When the player conquers Di Ting City, the main city of the Western Regions, they will trigger the qualification to challenge for the position of Lord of the Western Regions.
Quest One: Conquer the Qi Tian Tower of Di Ting City. Rewards: Battle Power Manifestation Card * 2, 20 billion experience points, 10 billion gold coins, Equipment: Thunder Collar.
Quest Two: Challenge the Lord of the Western Regions - Xi Feng. Rewards: Title 'Lord of the Western Regions', 50 billion experience points, 20 billion gold coins, Attribute Points: 1 million, Equipment: Lord's Crown, 10%-25% tax revenue from 56 cities in the Western Regions.
This...
Ye Yun was astonished!
He had always thought his 'Sacred City Revival' quest was impressive enough, but he never expected to encounter an even more remarkable quest.
While both were legendary quests, they were incomparable.
'Sacred City Revival' was a continuous, growth-oriented quest, whereas this task was a one-time completion, an excellent way to amass wealth rapidly. It was practically tailor-made for Mo Li.
Ye Yun couldn't fathom the level Mo Li would reach after becoming the Lord of the Western Regions. However, as long as he remained low-key for a while longer, even his father, Di Ting Demon King, would pale in comparison to him, let alone his elder brother, Mo Ji.
Conquering the Qi Tian Tower of 36 cities meant that during Ye Yun's AFK period, Mo Li, with Black Ant, had conquered ten Qi Tian Towers. Yet, his experience points hadn't increased significantly. This suggested that Mo Li had been leading Black Ant directly towards the Qi Tian Towers.
Ye Yun also noticed that a random quest had appeared on his quest panel.
- Hunt Xi Feng (Legendary)!
Xi Feng is the guardian beast of the farthest western lands of the Shan Hai Realm, possessing the fortune of a region within the Shan Hai Realm. As a human player, you should fight for the fortune of humanity, for the eternal survival of humankind.
Quest Objective: Slay Xi Feng, the guardian beast of the Western Regions of the Shan Hai Realm!
Quest Rewards:
1. Fortune bestowed, title 'Human King' elevated to 'Human Emperor'.
2. 10% of the gold coins from all Qi Tian Towers within the 56 cities of this region.
3. Battle Power Manifestation Card * 2.
4. Human Contribution Points - 100 points!
Ye Yun was stunned once again. Looking at the quest that had mysteriously appeared, he was speechless for a long time.
He hadn't expected to trigger a quest as a human player in this godforsaken place, and it was legendary. Judging by the rewards, it was undoubtedly far superior to Mo Li's.
Indeed, killing foreign races yielded higher rewards.
At this moment, Ye Yun felt an urge to wreak havoc in other regions. However, three days had already passed, and Mo Li was not familiar with other territories. Thus, he temporarily suppressed his impulse.
To slay Xi Feng, one must first break through the Qi Tian Tower of Di Ting City. A demon king's city, was it that easy to conquer?
"Humans, halt! Di Ting City is not a place you should trespass!"
As Black Ant approached Di Ting City, countless flying beasts soared from the city walls and dispersed. A one-horned bull demon standing on the battlements shouted at Black Ant.
After the battle at Xi Yang City and the destruction of thirty-five other cities, Black Ant was now notorious throughout the Western Regions.
"Damn it, I trigger a hidden quest and they teleport me to the outskirts of the city? I could have just used the teleportation array myself," Ye Yun grumbled, then commanded Black Ant to enter charge mode.
"Human! Take one more step forward, and you'll be killed without mercy!" The city guard, seeing Black Ant rapidly approaching, slammed his massive greatsword onto the ground, creating a deafening roar.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Thousands of bull demons on the city walls roared in unison. Though not numerous, their aura was immense. They, too, were the elites of Di Ting City.
"Ignore them. Before their main force arrives, break the city! Mo Li, watch Black Ant's health," Ye Yun instructed, then leaped onto Black Ant's head and unleashed 'Arc Lightning' at the bull demon guard on the wall, sending them flying.
"Got it! You go ahead with confidence!" Mo Li roared excitedly. Ye Yun's presence gave him immense confidence and morale.
When it came to demolishing cities, even with Ye Yun's high attack power, Black Ant was far faster. Black Ant, like a speeding tank, directly rammed into the thick city gate!
Boom...
An attack of nearly 1.8 billion directly destroyed the level 7 city gate.
"System Notification: Congratulations to the player for destroying a level 7 city gate and obtaining 200 million gold coins!"
Holy crap...
As expected of a level 7 building, destroying a city gate alone yielded 200 million gold coins. How much would the buildings within the city be worth?
Hearing the system prompt, Ye Yun and Mo Li were instantly consumed by greed. Controlling Black Ant, they dashed into Di Ting City, knowing that once inside, their advantage would significantly increase.
"Head east. The Qi Tian Tower is no longer in the City Lord's Mansion," Mo Li informed Ye Yun.
"You pave the way for Black Ant, and I'll slay some demons. These are all powerful foes, and they might become your enemies in the future," Ye Yun said, standing on Black Ant's head and shaking his slightly dizzy head from the fierce impact of ramming the city gate.
"Haha, alright! With you here, boss, I feel my confidence soaring! Boss, feel free to kill to your heart's content; don't worry about me," Mo Li chuckled heartily upon hearing Ye Yun's words.
This was the first time Ye Yun had heard him laugh so freely.
