Chapter 545: The Monkey War God Statue
Chapter 545: The Monkey War God Statue
The monkeys' counterattack was a resounding success.
After receiving the blessing of the Monkey War God Statue, the monkeys' strength more than doubled. Over a dozen fifth-rank and higher monkeys slaughtered players like cutting through ripe melons.
The players were like withered grass on a vast prairie in late autumn, quickly burned to ashes in the flames of battle.
The battlefield was illuminated by layer upon layer of white light as players died in droves, unable to retreat from the monkeys' relentless assault.
In less than ten minutes, nearly ten thousand players were massacred, while the monkeys suffered almost no losses.
The monkey commander was in high spirits.
It proudly ate a banana and walked over to the Monkey War God Statue, pulling it up and preparing to lead the troops to the next village.
But just as it was about to store the statue in its inventory, a human voice suddenly echoed in its ear: "Hand it over!"
Its hand went empty, and the statue vanished without a trace.
The monkey commander's smug grin faded along with the statue.
Of course, the one who had taken the statue was Su Yu.
Earlier, Su Yu had ventured deep into the monkey forest, intending to "borrow" a few divine artifacts. However, he soon discovered that these artifacts were bound to the monkeys' bloodlines.
The more powerful the artifact, the more tightly it was bound to a higher-ranking monkey. For example, the top-tier artifact, the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle, was firmly bound to the Monkey King. Unless the Monkey King was killed, there was no way to "borrow" this supreme artifact.
Su Yu was unaware of the "bloodline binding" until now.
In his previous life, the Heaven-Slashing Guild had cleared the monkey forest with over a hundred guild teams, obtaining all the monkey artifacts. They had never mentioned the "bloodline binding" at the time.
There were four legendary monkeys in the monkey clan, living in close proximity. Su Yu couldn't kill one without drawing the attention of the others.
After his efforts proved fruitless, he reluctantly left the monkey forest.
...
But just as he was about to leave, he received a distress call from the players in Foglin Village and immediately rushed to their aid.
When he arrived at the eastern battlefield of Foglin Village, something caught his eye: the Monkey War God Statue.
The Monkey War God Statue was clearly a divine artifact, bound to the bloodline of a sixth-rank peak monkey commander.
This meant that if he could kill the monkey commander, the artifact would be his!
With this in mind, Su Yu remained invisible, lurking in the shadows until the perfect moment to strike. He then swiftly took the Monkey War God Statue.
But taking the statue wasn't enough; Su Yu needed to kill the monkey commander to gain full control of the artifact.
With no legendary monkeys present, Su Yu held nothing back.
[Ice Mausoleum]!
[Ice Coffin]!
[Deep Freeze]!
[Ice Lance]!
[Ice Burst]!
With the [Natural Speed] enhancement (100% faster casting speed) from his glove and other buffs, Su Yu unleashed a series of high-damage ice spells on the monkey commander.
The monkey commander was only at the sixth-rank peak and belonged to the fragile "Monkey Sniper" class, with low magic resistance.
Under Su Yu's meticulously prepared burst combo, the commander's health plummeted, bleeding out rapidly.
63%, 41%, 18%, 3%, 0%.
In just about three seconds, the monkey commander was completely annihilated.
The monkey army and high-rank monkeys were utterly stunned! Where did this high-rank powerhouse come from, and how did he take out their formidable commander so quickly?
However, the monkeys were always disorganized and lacked any sense of revenge.
After Su Yu took down their commander, the first thought that popped into the minds of the monkey troops was to flee. The monkey forces immediately scattered, running in all directions, with even the higher-ranking monkeys joining the chaos.
Su Yu couldn't let them escape so easily. Standing his ground, he unleashed a series of powerful spells: Phoenix Descent, Starfall, and Elemental Annihilation. Each spell swept across the battlefield, annihilating the monkeys in their path.
Of course, what made Su Yu the happiest was the legendary artifact he obtained: the Monkey War God Statue. It was a truly invaluable find!
Monkey War God Statue
Item Type: Artifact
Quality: Legendary
Weight: 2400 kg
Current Bloodline User: None
Current Energy: 56/300 (Restores 100 energy points per day)
Effect: When activated, it consumes one energy point per second and grants a 50% boost to all attributes for friendly units within a 2000-meter radius. The stronger the friendly unit, the weaker the boost.
Note: "Feel the power of the Monkey King's aura!"
Overall, the attributes of this artifact were quite impressive. A 2000-meter radius was a significant area of effect.
If Su Yu had used this powerful group buff artifact during the battle of Tsushima and Busan, the mercenary forces would have suffered far fewer casualties.
"Once I get back, I'll have Xiaotian use Tina's Blood to enhance this artifact. I believe it will play a crucial role in future battles," Su Yu thought to himself.
As Su Yu was lost in thought, the faces of the surviving players, numbering in the thousands, gradually shifted from joy to shock, and finally to fear.
They stared intently at something behind Su Yu and shouted:
"General Ke, danger!"
"General Ke, look behind you!"
"General Ke, get out of the way!"
Hearing the players' cries, Su Yu was taken aback. "What?"
He turned around and saw that the sky behind him had turned blood-red, with a black spot in the midst of the crimson. From the black spot, a furry monkey claw emerged, gripping a golden and silver metal staff—the Pillar of the Sea, the ultimate treasure of the monkey clan! And Su Yu had not noticed any of this when he turned his back.
Without thinking, Su Yu tried to use his Flash Step to escape.
But it was too late.
By the time he turned around, the Pillar of the Sea was already less than a hundred meters away, a distance too close for him to effectively avoid.
Bang!
A deafening explosion rang out as the Pillar of the Sea struck Su Yu, enveloping him in a burst of white light, and he was instantly killed.
This was the first time the players had seen Su Yu die (though it wasn't the first time for Su Yu; he had died once before in the Forest City).
The news of "General Ke's Death" and related videos quickly spread across the internet.
Unaware players were struck like a bolt from the blue upon seeing the words "General Ke's Death," feeling as if their faith had been shattered.
Trembling with fear, they clicked on the videos, only to realize they had been fooled.
It was just a death in the game; he would revive in half an hour. What was the big deal?
However, to deceive their friends who were yet to hear the news, the players organized a memorial service for General Ke on the forums, praying for his safe journey to the afterlife.
For the next half hour, the internet was filled with mourners lighting candles and offering flowers to honor General Ke, leading many to believe that Su Yu had truly died.
