Chapter 479 - 449: The Ouling with a Mysterious Divine Artifact
Calculating the Eight-Headed Snake’s shift change times, Da Fei once again sneaked into the vortex. The crisis had passed, but Da Fei witnessed an unbelievable scene—no head was on duty!
That’s right! The head that was on duty just went to sleep, and the head that just woke up also went to sleep! Holy moly, although I don’t know what’s going on, there’s no doubt that the previous disturbance indeed disrupted the Eight-Headed Snake’s duty schedule!
It works! The plan works! Da Fei was overjoyed and his confidence soared!
So, what’s the next step? Could it really be that there would be no head on duty? Impossible! Let’s observe a bit more!
After a while, the head that had just been awakened finally began to stir slightly, then slowly lifted itself up. So, in the end, there was still a head on duty!
Da Fei suddenly realized! The head that had been awakened just went back to catch some extra z’s! And that other head couldn’t care less if someone took over its shift or not, when it’s time to sleep, it just goes straight to sleep!
I see! This is the so-called self-will of the Eight-Headed Snake’s eight heads, it’s completely irresponsible self-will indeed. But this is also built on the extreme arrogance of the Eight-Headed Snake about its own strength, right? Think about it, a giant dragon just lies in its Dragon Cave and snores away without anyone on duty. Who would dare to disturb it? This Eight-Headed Snake is rather modest in comparison.
No more words, the disturbance test fully commences!
Three logs! Two logs! Throw three logs every 30 seconds! Throw two logs every 20 seconds!
A light bump won’t work, waking the head up completely also won’t work, what Da Fei is pursuing is that involuntary feeling of sleepily swatting and turning over when being harassed by mosquitoes in your sleep! Perhaps, a combo meal should be prepared, start with two logs, then quickly three, and then quiet down for a bit...
Time slipped by unnoticed during the experimental testing. Although the ideal combo had yet to be found, everyone was enjoying the process. For Da Fei, even if it’s a temporary failure, isn’t it a success to have transported the logs out anyway?
Brother, killing two birds with one stone! Brother is wise and awesome! Wahahaha!
Midnight, 12 o’clock, March 4th, a new day begins.
The past day for Da Fei was as long as months, and this is what a full and condensed life is about! At this moment, the optimization of the combo meal is getting closer to the ideal perfection. Under the random hits of the logs, the sleeping head jumps up, lies down! Jumps up, lies down again! It’s just like a drunk trying to swat away the pesky mosquitoes against their will!
Exactly! That’s the effect Brother wants! Da Fei exclaimed with joy, "Villager Chief, perhaps, we can already declare success now?"
The Villager Chief also couldn’t help expressing relief: "I think we still need some stability and error tests before confirming it as the final plan. After all, my plan starts from the docks where there will surely be a large margin for error. Of course, that’s not a problem. I’ve decided to immediately construct a watchtower nearby and assign someone to stand guard day and night to collect the logs drifting from the docks, then we’ll readjust according to our plan—no, this matter is so important, it concerns the survival of our tribe, I will personally stand guard here!"
Da Fei laughed: "The Villager Chief himself standing guard? What about the village affairs?"
The Villager Chief laughed heartily, "Hand them over to Billbo. I’m old, and he’s grown up. It’s time to give him an opportunity to stand on his own!"
Da Fei couldn’t help but sigh silently, the last thing Brother wants to hear now is the phrase "I’m old, let the younger ones do this and that," which sounds like laying down one’s last will and testament.
The Villager Chief laughed again: "By the way, since we’ve transported over a dozen rafts of logs, and we won’t use them all at once, why don’t we just borrow the Lord’s logs and start construction right here on the lake, building the watchtower?"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "The Villager Chief is really swift and decisive, excellent! Don’t be polite with me!"
The Villager Chief laughed: "True to your reputation as a generous Lord, then I’ll continue to send more people and add more logs!" After saying that, he pulled out a firework, and with a bang, it shot into the sky, then a firework exploded in response from the distance.
This is a house built with Mercury Wood, my generosity is no joke!
Watching the Hobbits on the raft immediately release the ropes, dive, and arrange the logs in an orderly manner, Da Fei couldn’t help but be deeply moved. Truly worthy of Hobbits, clever and nimble. They’re good at everything except fighting. It’s a pity that in Hero Continent, only combat power is the sole measure of whether a race can continue to thrive.
Anyway, now I can finally take a breather and relax, let’s check on the situation on the alt.
At this moment, the battle on Junxiang’s alt side had already reached an intense climax. Although Bloodrose’s tactics were good and her command very on point, at this stage the players simply did not have the capital to measure up against NPC forces, even if this Blood Barbarian Tribe was just an insignificant small tribe on the border of the Beastman Kingdom.
Facing the massive onslaught from the Blood Barbarian Tribe, the Bloodrose Team was repeatedly pushed back to a high ground within the Yellowjacket Territory, desperately defending with dwindling forces and near annihilation imminent. The mythical Ouling from the seven-day pact had yet to appear.
This was a fight where the goals were unclear, and it was uncertain whether there would be any effect. Overall, everyone was tired, and voices of relief resonated in the Guild’s communications channel. At least, everyone had tried their best. As for Ouling, if he can’t be saved, then so be it. Even though a peculiar quest scenario was triggered, after all, he’s not some extraordinary hero. Bloodrose doesn’t care about the loss of troops, nor does she care about one NPC hero.
Does it really look hopeless? Da Fei also couldn’t help but shake his head in disappointment.
Sigh, back then you guys took Brother out of the Monastery, making Brother trust in your abilities. But at the end of the day, it was a task you triggered yourselves, and you had the capabilities to see it through. The tasks triggered by Brother, you guys just can’t handle, can you? Brother, after all, is Brother. Whether it’s the main or the alt, both are legends beyond the reach of you Mortals. However, at least you got one thing right, what is Ouling to us? You don’t care, Brother does not care either, Brother has no interest in male heroes, wahahaha! But still, you’ve worked hard, and you deserve some rest now. It’s not a good habit for beauties to stay up late.
Just then, a fire lit up the night sky in the distant wilderness, and the direction was precisely the territory of the Blood Barbarian Tribe!
The entire Bloodrose Team was astounded: "Good heavens! The Beastman lair is on fire!" Then came the delight: "Was it Ouling who did it?"
Watching the Beastman troops retreat like the ebbing tide, the whole team cheered: "Success!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched. So, this Ouling took the opportunity to raid the enemies’ home base while we were holding off the Beastman forces? But surely their home base had a garrison? How could his 150 soldiers and a level 30 hero possibly pull it off?
Alright then! Ouling, you’ve got guts! If you don’t have a Divine Artifact, I’ll take your last name!
Bloodrose Holy Spear rejuvenated: "The battle isn’t won yet! Pursue them! We must do everything we can to hold back the Beastmen and cover Ouling’s escape!"
And at that moment, the team members who had already used Death Return City suddenly exclaimed: "No need to chase! Ouling is back, just outside the city, glittering with gold, dragging a Beastman’s ox cart, and followed by a large group of NPC humans, as well as a herd of bound Beastman NPC prisoners! The gatekeepers are blocking his way and questioning him!"
The whole team was in an uproar again: "Who started that fire?"
"Is that glittering gold on him a Divine Artifact?"
Da Fei was shocked! Shimmering gold! He really did have a Divine Artifact! Damn, I’m covered in Divine Artifacts and there’s no shimmer, yet he’s already sparkling. What level of Divine Artifact could it be?
At this moment, junxiang’s alt and the entire team’s System Prompt sounded:
— System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Ouling has destroyed the territory of the Blood Barbarian Tribe, seized the Power Totem of the Blood Barbarian Tribe, rescued 135 human slaves captured and enslaved by the Blood Barbarian Tribe, and captured 247 Beastman civilian prisoners of war! You have achieved a spectacular victory!
— System Prompt: You have earned the achievement "The 1st Spectacular Victory," Command Power +20, Life +20.
— Team Channel: Team member Junxiang’s Vice Hero Ouling has destroyed the territory of the Blood Barbarian Tribe, seized..., and achieved a spectacular victory! All team members have earned the achievement "Spectacular Victory"...
The whole team erupted in excitement! Little Fang and Little Li in the next room also cheered ecstatically!
Da Fei was stunned, slack-jawed! Holy crap, he even brought back a whole crowd of people! So composed!
Bloodrose Holy Spear immediately responded: "Muxue, Little Zi, you guys rush to the city gate to meet them! The whole team, retreat!"
Bloodrose Ziyun: "We’re at the city gate—ahh! His gold light has disappeared, he’s collapsed!"
The whole team was alarmed: "Help him up!"
Bloodrose Holy Spear hurriedly said: "The situation has changed, Brother Junxiang, you’re his quest person, hurry back there! You’re only level 4, dying is no big deal."
Holy crap! That’s decisive; I like it! But Da Fei still feigned ignorance: "How should I die?"
The whole team roared with laughter: "Just jump off the mountain!"
Holy crap! That’s wickedly clever; I love all you dark-humored beauties, hahaha!
With a leap of faith and a flash of white light, Da Fei was resurrected in Western Wilderness City Square, followed by two flashes behind him as Little Fang and Little Li also appeared.
Little Fang didn’t waste words: "Big brother, hurry, just in case you don’t know the way, I’ll lead you!"
Truly like a family, brother, how touching! But, they say heaven is a place where all the beauties gather, and the wife isn’t around. Right now, I’m surrounded by beauties, with both the wife and sister present, is that really okay?
Now, the city gate had already been controlled in no time by the external players arranged by Bloodrose, and when Junxiang arrived, the crowd parted to make way for him, possessing a kind of grand entrance vibe. Holy crap, what a scene, exhilarating!
"You’re here!" At this time, Ouling, leaning on the wagon, looked exhausted and weak: "I must find an absolutely quiet inn to rest for a month, you figure out a way to take care of my, our, spoils of war. We can talk when I’m awake..."
With that, he tilted his head and lay down.
Holy crap! It’s surely a Divine Artifact that a Mortal can’t bear to use! Even though I have a bunch of Divine Artifacts, besides the past Misfortune Coin, none of them had such severe side effects! This is high-end stuff! Hey, hey, hand over the Divine Artifact before you sleep!
