One day, "Legendary Big Sword", one of the players of "Sword Maiden Online," opened the game forum out of habit. This was a necessary step before he entered the game. Legendary Big Sword liked to check the forum to see if there was anything new to explore before entering the game.
In the end, a big piece of news popped up right away.
"The legendary Great Treasure Sword."
He discovered that the forum, which had a light blue background, had started to change to a bright gold background. The glittering gold almost blinded "Legendary Big Sword."
He was stunned at first, then his blood began to boil. He had seen this scene before, more than once!
Last year, the year before, and five years ago, he had seen the forum change from blue to gold. If his memory served him right, then "Sword Maiden Online" would be the biggest and most explosive news of the year!
Wait a minute … … it did not seem to be the biggest news of the year. After all, after the Commander had cleared the initial instance dungeon with an [SSS] class, there was no other news that could surpass this news. The only exception would be the appearance of a peerless Sword Emperor like Gu Jin Official.
"The legendary Great Treasure Sword."
He quickly scrolled to the top of the page, and sure enough, there was a glittering post at the top of the forum.
"¥Canglan Billows Town Five Seas ¥Canglan Billows Official Publicity Department: Our sect will officially launch a strategy for this year's hidden dungeon. Please click on the post to read the details."
The post showed that the number of people who replied to it had already exceeded 100,000.
"The legendary Great Treasure Sword."
Without a second's hesitation, he immediately clicked on the post. It took him more than ten minutes to completely digest the content of the post.
First of all, the post briefly introduced the background of the hidden dungeon, letting Big Sword know that the plot revolved around King Arthur Artoria.
At the same time, it was also very insidiously revealed that three sword sects, including Yaoguang Sword Sect, had already started the dungeon a month earlier and had been stuck at the 60% progress for more than 25 days.
The reason why Storm Waves wanted to publicize this was to disgust the three sword sects. He wanted to tell the masses that these three sword sects were trying to monopolize this information. They were so narrow-minded that they didn't tell the average player. They treated the other players as fools.
Unlike their Canglan Billows, after unlocking the Instance Dungeon, they immediately announced the news of the Instance Dungeon so that everyone could know the details.
At the same time, they had not succeeded for a month and were stuck at 60% of the progress. This made the players doubt the strength of the three sword sects.
In the past, the longest time taken to complete a hidden dungeon was one month.
This time, however, they had only cleared 60% of the area after a month. Could it be that the strength of the three sword sects had fallen to such a trashy state?
Next, however, Storm Waves also exposed the main Clearers of the three sword sects. Watermelon Gentleman who pulled Strawberry, the You siblings, and Magic Pen Lancang River. These were the top 30 players on the List of Famous Swords: Virtual List. This proved that the Clearers of the three sword sects were not weak.
This was especially so when they saw the commander's name. This new player, who had created the biggest news of the year just a week or two ago, had actually grown to the level of a Famed Sword. He had even participated in the strategy to clear the hidden dungeon. This guy's gaming life was a little too awesome!
Maybe this Military Governor is the next Eugen, Eugen, and the next Yaoguang!
Everyone who saw the post could not help but have this thought. In the game, there would be a unique character born every decade. In this decade, this person might be the Military Governor … At the very least, the Military Governor was standing at the forefront of all potential competitors.
After reading the post, "Legendary Sword" closed the post and refreshed the forum's home page. Based on the previous Canglan Billows' practice, they would soon open a Livestream Guide, which would continuously update the progress of the Clearers of the Hidden Dungeon.
Sure enough, after "Legendary Sword" refreshed the page for ten minutes, another post from the Canglan Billows' publicity department was pushed to the top. It was quickly set to be the most important post.
The title of the post was "Latest Hidden Dungeon: King Arthur's Betrayal Guide Live Post."
When he opened the post, there was only one post.
The post revealed the members of the four Clearers of the Canglan Billows. The first, second, third, and fourth Clearers were revealed.
Although the Clearers of the second, third, and fourth Clearers were famous sword-level players, they were much dimmer than the Clearers of the first Clearers.
First Clearers of the Canglan Billows: Team Leader: Dragon Feather, 12th on the List of Famous Swords: Virtual List
Team Member: Gentleman, 3rd on the List of Famous Swords: Virtual List
Fair Lady, 5th on the List of Famous Swords: Virtual List
Xue Lei Xing, 4th on the List of Famous Swords: Virtual List
Ling Yun, 7th on the List of Famous Swords: Virtual List
Monien, 10th on the List of Famous Swords: Virtual List
From these six people's List of Famous Swords: Virtual List, it could be seen that the Canglan Billows had gathered the strongest members of its sword sect into the first Clearers.
Apart from the party leader, the other members who were ranked in the top ten formed an incomparably terrifying party. Disregarding the problem of clearing the Instance Dungeon, if they were dragged out to fight, this party would be able to sweep away all the Famed Sword level parties. There was no party stronger than this party!
"Ding dong!" This was a notification from the original poster. "The legendary Great Sword."
After a quick refresh, they saw the second message from the original poster. [The first team took less than two minutes to clear 10% of the Instance Dungeon's progress. The important NPC, Aardwolf, did not suffer any damage!]
…
"To expel the filth, you need to use special tools … I've hidden these tools in a secret place … After you rescue Artoria … take her there …" Just like what Guhan and the others had experienced, Aardwolf had lost his ability to speak to resist the invasion of the filth. He could only kneel on the ground in pain and struggle against the filth.
When the first Clearers of the Canglan Billows entered the game, they chose to rush directly from Terminal T3 to Parking Lot P2.
Although they did not have swordmaidens like Alondette who could absorb damage, and although each of them had suffered varying degrees of damage, when they rushed out of Terminal T3, they were still in good condition.
However, when they rushed out of Terminal T3, they were still in good condition. None of their personal shields were damaged to less than 90%, and they arrived at the battlefield five seconds earlier than Gu Han's team.
It was not an exaggeration, but the first Clearers of the Canglan Billows team were much stronger than Yaoguang Sword Faction!
"Leader, what should we do now?" A man in black asked Dragon Feather, the leader of the team.
According to the ranking of the List of Famous Swords: Virtual Ranking, Dragon Feather was ranked twelfth, and he was the weakest in the entire Clearers. However, he was able to become the leader of the entire team, and none of his team members disobeyed him. This was all because of his terrifying scheming ability.
Long Yu was the president of the Vast Expanse Hall, the head of Gu Jin's brain trust, and the successor that he had carefully cultivated. His ability to scheme and scheme was breathtaking. The world generally believed that two Lancang Rivers might be worth as much as one Long Yu, if not more.
"Take him with us!"
Dragon Feather bit his finger bone. This was a special habit of Dragon Feather. Whenever he entered a state of high concentration, he would involuntarily bite his finger bone.
Whenever this happened, it meant that Dragon Feather was thinking hard.
"Take him with us?"
The man in black was stunned. "Take Aardwolf with us into the underground temple of Terminal 2?"
Deep down, the man in black did not want to take Aardwolf with them. The reason was very simple. Aardwolf's current state was no different from a burden. If they brought him along, it would inevitably affect the team's combat ability.
Moreover, Aardwolf was a very unstable factor. If he failed to fight against the filth, entered a dark state, and started attacking the team from the inside, it might be fatal. Although they looked down on the Clearers of the Heng Mountain Sword Faction, Aardwolf was able to kill the entire Clearers of the Heng Mountain Sword Faction within ten minutes after he entered the dark state. With his strength, he would definitely cause the team to suffer.
"That's right. Take him with us. I have a use for him!"
Dragon Feather put down his finger. "Monien, I'll leave Aardwolf to you. Let's go to Terminal 2!"
The Monien that Dragon Feather was talking about was the man in black. Monien knew that his hesitation had caused Dragon Feather to be unhappy, so he had asked him to take Aardwolf with him as a punishment. This was a very generous punishment. Compared to other punishments, Monien was still very happy.
So, Monien climbed onto the Frenzied Aardwolf and followed the rest of the team towards Terminal T2.
From there, the Great Storm of Azure Waves and Yaoguang Sword Faction had a disagreement. Guhan's side chose to let Aardwolf fight on his own and break through Terminal 2 in the most complete way possible.
The Great Storm of Azure Waves' side chose to take Aardwolf with them and break through T2 together.
Both sides had their own ideas and philosophies. So, who was right?
Would this affect the final outcome of the dungeon? Let's wait and see.
