Chapter 808: The Solstice Secret Realm (Part 9)
Chapter 808: The Solstice Secret Realm (Part 9)
As the 22 Skrull explorers from the insectoid faction reached the core of the battlefield, they realized something was seriously wrong.
Their opponents were a race of blue-skinned humanoids, resembling ancient murals of angels but without wings.
The stronger these blue-skinned humanoids were, the larger their bodies became.
The ordinary soldiers standing on the ground were roughly the same size as the Skrulls, while the towering City Lord of Doku in the sky stood at a towering 5 meters, looking like a small giant!
These blue-skinned soldiers were well-organized, their armor gleaming. From a neutral perspective, the insectoids seemed to be the villains in this conflict.
But that wasn't the most pressing issue.
What truly mattered was that the blue-skinned faction also had explorers mixed in with their ranks, and their numbers were comparable to those of the insectoids! Among the blue-skinned explorers were Skrulls and high-tier magical beasts. Many of them were from the same clans or even the same countries, and they recognized each other.
"Kweerus? What are you doing in the secret realm?"
"Prince Fok of the Sun Empire? I didn't expect to see you here!"
"I was sent in by the ancient ancestor... but why are you... on the other side?"
As soon as they met, the explorers from both sides began to converse, their faces etched with shock.
However, this was not the time for idle chat. This was the decisive moment of the battle, and the commanders of both factions would not tolerate such meaningless discussions.
The colossal insectoid lord, nearly 15 meters long, roared at his explorers, "Stop this pointless talk! Kill every single creature on the other side! Once they're all dead, you can leave with your rewards."
City Lord Doku of the Solstice also bellowed at his explorers, "Charge! Kill these evil insects and the outsiders. I'll increase the rewards by 10%!"
"But... they are our own kind!" someone protested.
All the explorers present were deeply hesitant.
By now, anyone with a modicum of intelligence understood the true nature of this secret realm.
This realm was designed to split them into two factions and make them slaughter each other! No wonder the mortality rate in the "Final Secret Realm" always exceeded 50%.
With the two factions pitted against each other, the final death toll could easily surpass 80%!
"What should we do? Do we really have to kill each other?" every Skrull and high-tier magical beast in the room asked themselves.
The Skrulls, in particular, did not want to kill their own kind. They were numerous, and many hailed from the Sun Empire.
For the sixth-tier powerhouses of the Sun Empire, killing the empire's prince within the secret realm would be a difficult explanation to give to the emperor. Hence, most of them were reluctant to engage in such a conflict.
The high-tier magical beasts, on the other hand, were generally indifferent.
Living in the Wildlands, they had always adhered to the law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak. If the secret realm's rules demanded it, they would follow them without any mental burden.
Their only concern was the risk of dying in this battle, as the strength of both sides was roughly equal.
The 46 explorers from both factions were torn, and neither side was eager to make the first move, preferring to observe the situation before deciding.
City Lord Doku and the insectoid lord, seeing their inaction, began to urge them on:
"Everyone, hurry up! What are you waiting for? The more enemies you kill, the more rewards you'll receive."
"Keep stalling, and I'll deduct the points you've earned so far."
The distance between the two factions of powerful beings grew ever closer.
Under the influence of the battlefield's atmosphere and the allure of the secret realm's rewards, both sides could only resign themselves to the inevitable clash.
"Blame the rules of the secret realm, not us," one side muttered.
"Ah, there's nothing we can do. It looks like we have no choice but to engage in combat," another added.
One by one, the explorers from both sides stepped into the battlefield, ready to determine the outcome of the battle.
As for the city lord of Dake and the insect lord, they had completely turned the tables, a thought that had crossed their minds.
However, time was running short, and they had yet to decide on a course of action, so they could only temporarily hold back their opinions.
The city lord of Dake led the high-ranking Blue People and the insect lord led the insect forces into a fierce collision, the battle officially beginning.
...
But just then, a clear and piercing voice, like that of a young girl, rang out from beyond the battlefield: "Let's end this now!"
The voice was clear and had a powerful resonance, cutting through the chaos of the battlefield and reaching the ears of all the high-ranking explorers.
The language was alien, the Blue Star tongue, and none of the high-ranking explorers in the battlefield could understand it.
However, the 24 Blue People explorers on the Blue People side almost simultaneously turned their heads to the direction the voice had come from.
They recognized the voice all too well; it belonged to Xu Xiaotian, the top-ranked explorer from the Blue People side.
Xu Xiaotian, the number one explorer on the Blue People side, was not only the top-ranked explorer but also a Blue Star native, had always been the focus of the Blue People explorers.
Before the battle had started, there was no sign from Xu Xiaotian, who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield!
However, just as she finished speaking, a deep and steady male voice rang out from her side: "Yes, let's rewrite this script!"
Hearing this, the insect explorers on the insect side simultaneously turned their heads to the source of the voice.
"It's Gu Hong!" someone exclaimed in the crowd.
Gu Hong was the top-ranked explorer on the insect side, who was originally expected to be a deserter, but had now, he was also on the battlefield, ready to face a new challenge.
At few moments later, Xu Xiaotian, her face serious, drew a black longbow from her spatial ring.
This was her most prized possession, the Dragon Soul Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power and precision.
...
The story of the Dragon Soul Bow began when she first arrived on the Blue Star, where she obtained the Dragon Soul Wood from a treasure chest in the secret realm.
The Dragon Soul Wood was an extremely rare material, known for its incredible ability to store vast amounts of spiritual energy.
Using the Dragon Soul Wood to craft a bow, she could channel an immense amount of spiritual energy with each shot, turning it into a powerful weapon capable of dealing immense damage with every shot!
The mentor who helped her craft the Dragon Soul Bow was Yang Jian, using his advanced cultivation techniques and materials perfectly suited for the Blue Star, he spent nine nights crafting the bow to perfection.
However, Yang Jian's crafting method was not conventional.
Before crafting the Dragon Soul Bow, he had thoroughly discussed her needs and preferences.
She had concluded that she did interested in a conventional Dragon Soul Bow, which would have been her graduation weapon. She intended to use it until the end of the battle, but she was confident that she could obtain a stronger bow in the future.
So, after spending countless nights crafting the Dragon Soul Bow, she decided to focus on its explosive power, sacrificing its sustained output.
In other words, she wanted to create a weapon capable for critical moments, to use decisive her, the battle had begun, but she was determined to use it only in the final moments of the battle, when the true moment to unleash a decisive blow. She aimed to use it in a decisive moment, a moment capable of unleashing a massive amount of spiritual energy with each shot, capable of causing immense damage with every arrow!
