Chapter 426: Capturing Walnut
Chapter 426: Capturing Walnut
The Pandaren Continent is located in the southern hemisphere of the game world, sprawling across an area comparable to the Golden Rose Continent.
On the Golden Rose Continent, the primary nation is the Golden Rose Empire. Beyond that, the western part of the continent is dotted with over a hundred small countries and city-states.
The situation on the Pandaren Continent is similar.
The Pandaren Continent has a primary nation called the Pandaren Empire, which occupies 65% of the continent. The peaceful and carefree Pandaren people live here.
The remaining 35% of the continent is home to other races, such as humans, monkeys, ancient magics, and mantis demons.
The Teyvat Kingdom is a human nation situated on the westernmost edge of the continent, and the Mortuary Hall is located within this kingdom.
In Su Yu's previous life, the Teyvat Kingdom was opened to players relatively late, around the early stages of the fourth expansion, "Shining New World."
By then, most high-level players had already moved on to the new world, and the Teyvat Kingdom remained largely unknown.
It wasn't until the seventh expansion, "Void Invasion," that the Teyvat Kingdom returned to the players' attention.
This was because players discovered a hidden dungeon deep within the Mortuary Hall called the Hall of Eternity.
The Hall of Eternity is akin to the underworld in the game world and is one of the most challenging dungeons.
Inside the hall are four realms: the Realm of Severance, the Realm of Separation, the Realm of Annihilation, and the Realm of Completion. The hall is also guarded by the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Judges of the Underworld.
The minions in the dungeon have peak sixth-tier strength, while the minor bosses are seventh-tier. The final bosses are rumored to be eighth-tier or higher, reaching the godly level!
In his previous life, Snow Leopard had led a team of four seventh-tier legendary players to tackle this dungeon, but they were unable to complete it due to insufficient strength. They could only farm the outer areas for equipment.
It was because of the Hall of Eternity, this top-tier difficulty dungeon, that the Mortuary Hall and the Teyvat Kingdom became well-known among players.
This time, Su Yu planned to take Sylvanas to the Hall of Eternity dungeon, hoping she could attempt to clear it and see what rewards she could gain.
They continued their journey.
After flying for 17 hours, Su Yu and Sylvanas arrived over the Teyvat Kingdom, landing in the important port city of Liyue Harbor.
The Mortuary Hall is located in this city.
Before entering the Pandaren Continent's territory, Su Yu used the "Invisibility Spell" to conceal himself, and Sylvanas used a similar disguise to hide herself. Thus, they were not detected by the high-level experts on the Pandaren Continent.
Upon entering the Pandaren Continent, the architectural style of the buildings was noticeably different from that of the Golden Rose Continent.
The buildings on the Golden Rose Continent are mostly stone and wood, giving them a medieval Blue Star feel. The Pandaren Continent, being humid and rainy with dense forests, has mostly pure wooden structures, reminiscent of ancient Chinese architecture.
Looking down at the bustling Liyue Harbor, where humans and Pandaren were busy, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.
After all, in his previous life, he had left the beginner village and sailed to the Pandaren Continent. He was much more familiar with this place than with the Golden Rose City!
Sylvanas, who was visiting the Teyvat Kingdom for the first time, surveyed Liyue Harbor and nodded slightly.
"This port is a good deep-water harbor, but its military defenses are weak. If we ever plan to attack the Pandaren Continent, this would be an excellent landing point."
She turned to Su Yu, "Bane, are you interested in organizing a coalition to invade the Pandaren Continent?"
"Uh, let's focus on defeating the Windchime Empire first," Su Yu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
True to her nature, Sylvanas was a war enthusiast, always eager to launch invasions.
"That's the place," Su Yu pointed to an ancient and grand courtyard nestled among the mountains near Liyue Harbor.
"That's the Hall of Eternal Rest. We'll follow the plan: find Hu Tao first, then you'll enter the Hall of Eternity while I hold off the enemy outside."
Su Yu didn't intend to accompany Sylvanas into the Hall of Eternity dungeon. After all, even the weakest creatures inside, the Reincarnation Priests, were at peak 6th tier. He would be completely ineffective against them, so there was no point in going in.
"Got it," Sylvanas replied.
"Aaaah!" The Banshee Queen, Shiva, let out a shrill cry, and a vast cloud of black mist instantly enveloped the entire Liyue Harbor.
The residents of Liyue Harbor suddenly found themselves in darkness, with eerie ghostly mists filling the sky, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
In the next second, Sylvanas shot toward the Hall of Eternal Rest like an arrow, heading straight for the main hall.
Su Yu quickly followed, and his pet, the cat Morningstar, poked its head out from the pet space.
The ordinary members of the Hall of Eternal Rest were also called Reincarnation Priests, but their strength was far inferior to those in the dungeon. Most were only at 2nd to 4th tier.
At that moment, dozens of Reincarnation Priests were conducting a ritual in the main hall when disaster struck!
Sylvanas swiftly entered the main hall, and each of the priests was instantly turned to stone by her piercing gaze.
However, Shiva didn't kill them. Though most of the Reincarnation Priests were human, a few were Pandaren. She didn't want to anger the vast and ancient Pandaren Empire, so she only petrified them.
Sylvanas leaped forward and grabbed the neck of the high priest, a middle-aged man at 4th tier. He was trembling in fear, and Sylvanas lifted him up like a hawk catching a chicken.
"Where is your leader, Hu Tao?" Sylvanas stared at him intently.
"I... I don't know," the 4th tier Reincarnation Priest stammered.
"I'll give you three seconds to tell me where Hu Tao is. Otherwise, you die! Three... two..." Sylvanas's right hand tightened around the priest's neck.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Faced with death, the priest betrayed his leader without hesitation: "The leader is resting in the Yulu Hall on the back mountain. That's all I know."
"Finished!" In the Yulu Hall on the back mountain, Hu Tao's heart sank as she finished her cultivation.
She had been focused on restoring her strength, but her progress was much slower than Morningstar's. She hadn't yet reached the 6th tier Holy Domain.
Upon hearing Sylvanas's voice, she immediately stopped her cultivation.
But she hadn't expected Shiva to be so quick, already rushing in and discovering her location in just a few seconds!
"Earth Escape Technique!" Hu Tao chanted the spell and used her signature Earth Release to burrow underground, preparing to escape.
But it was too late. As soon as she entered the ground, a dozen thick, dark purple chains shot out from all directions, ensnaring her.
Given her current strength, she was no match for Sylvanas. She was bound and dragged out of the ground, completely helpless.
