"Ding ~, other readers read as normal:!"
System Announcement: All players, please be informed that player "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand" has obtained the Sacred-grade weapon [Fire God's Helmet]. The target location is Ironhead Wasteland (42, 899,92832). Upon killing this player, there is a 100% chance of dropping the Fire God's Helmet!
…
The moment my coordinates were exposed, I ran away without hesitation. I passed through the lush forest in front of me. Along the way, countless Level 250 Demon Spirit wild beasts, "Mad Leopards", chased after me. Unfortunately, the Mad Leopards' movement speed was slightly lower than the Ancient Divine Dragon's, so after a few minutes of chasing, I lost track of them and lost their aggro.
However, while I might be able to shake off the Berserk Leopards, the Beast King Cavalry might not be able to. Behind me, waves of miserable cries could be heard. The Beast King Cavalry was chasing after a lone Berserk Leopard, making it extremely easy for them to be attacked by a group of Berserk Leopards. The Berserk Leopards' attack power was so high that it made one's hair stand on end. A few Berserk Leopards attacking together could often instantly kill a Beast King Cavalry!
Breeze and Rain was a smart man. He had predicted my coordinates and circled around the forest with thousands of Beast King Cavalrymen, waiting for me to show up. However, he clearly didn't expect my Dark Pupils to have super long-range vision. I could see the Beast King Cavalrymen clearly on the world map!
"Chase after him and seal off this small forest. Don't let him escape!"
Breeze and Rain shouted, "Keep your eyes peeled, everyone! More ranged players will be arriving in two hours! God of War has made up his mind to uproot the stubborn Ironhead Wastelands and kill that bastard, Lu Chen! He's been a disgrace to the India server for far too long!"
A group of Beast King Cavalrymen drew their swords and prepared for battle.
…
"Hehe …"
A couple of Owl Knights flew overhead, and one of them immediately shouted, "I see him! Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand is at coordinates 43 982,92911! Send assassins to kill him now!"
I looked up. F * ck, he's too arrogant. He's so close to me to spy on me?
I abruptly raised the Purple Ying Sword, lowered it, and threw it at the Owl Knight. The Purple Ying Sword turned into a whirlwind of blades and slammed into the Owl Knight. The Owl Knight let out a scream of pain, and countless feathers and blood splattered all over the place. Coiling Dragon Revolution dealt 192882 damage to the Owl Knight, and I was even more convinced that the forums were telling the truth. The Owl Knight was fast, and it could fight in the air. However, one of the main properties of a mount was that its max HP was reduced by 20%. This was the downside of a low-rank flying mount, and it couldn't be compared to my Ancient Divine Dragon.
After killing the Owl Knight, I immediately changed directions and left. At the same time, I sent a message to Battle Scar, saying, "Battle Scar, you guys can revive now. Don't bother with the Indians anymore. Find a place to stay and level up. I'll look for you guys in 10 hours after I get rid of the system notification!"
Warscar replied, "Yes, inform me immediately if you encounter any danger. The Vikings are willing to do anything for their friends!
Breeze and Rain, that hammer … "
I was so embarrassed. I couldn't afford to hurt this Sichuanese man. "Okay …"
… …
Owl Knights appeared above my head one after another. These players were originally White Horse Cavalry, elite subordinates of Cloud Walker. Unfortunately, flying mounts didn't have the ability to turn around, so it wasn't convenient for me to change directions. That was why I ran through the forest while using Coiling Dragon Revolution and Dragon Slaying Slash to kill them. Fans of the novel loved to read:
Pfft!
The feather fell to the ground along with a large amount of blood. The knight's body fell to the ground. I dashed out and grabbed the weapon he dropped. It was a 3-star Heaven-grade spear with decent Attack and 5% lifesteal. It was a normal Level 170 Divine Weapon.
I put it into my bag and continued on my way. I knew that I wouldn't be able to rest for the next ten hours.
At the same time, I brought up my friend list, searched for the player's name "Kiss", and sent him a friend request. A few seconds later, Kiss became my second friend on the Iron Head Wastelands.
"Hi, Kiss!" I greeted him with a smile.
Kiss's voice was urgent as she panted. "Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand?
Oh, Lu Chen, did you escape?
You … didn't get killed by Breeze and Rain already, did you? "
I grinned. "Of course not. I just want to know what's going on with the Holy Alliance."
Kiss said helplessly, "Walking Cloud's skill and equipment are top-notch. I tried to fight her one on one and suffered a bit of a loss. Right now, I'm retreating with my men. There are too many Owl Knights, and Walking Cloud has sent over ten thousand White Horse Cavalrymen. She really wants to kill me!"
I said, "It's also possible that she wants to kill me …"
Kiss laughed. "Boy, what did you do to her? You just dumped her after using her, didn't you?"
I glared at her. "What are you thinking? We're just on different sides. Walking Cloud and I are destined to be enemies!"
"Mn."
Kiss pursed her lips. "I heard that you've formed a temporary alliance with the Vikings, right?"
"Yes, they're very likable. They're honest and stubborn!"
Kiss giggled. "Don't give me that. They're just a bunch of stupid donkeys …"
Me: "..."
"Um, Lu Chen?"
"Yes, what is it?"
Kiss gritted her teeth. "Are you willing to stay and fight with us against the Indian Dynasty's invasion of the Iron Head Wastelands?
We … we really don't want to abandon our home, even if it's a very barren and dangerous place … "
I smiled without hesitation. "Of course. Isn't this the case right now?
I'm afraid Breeze and Rain and Walking Cloud won't let me go even if I want to. "
"Mn. I'll run for my life first and contact the rest of the tribes in the Iron Head Wastelands. We'll fight against Elephant City and Cyan Earth City together!"
"Okay!"
… …
I turned off the communicator. I never imagined that I would be the cause of another war after I came to the Iron Head Wastelands. But this was good. I could stall Cyan Earth City and Elephant City at the southern border, so that the China region would have more time to recover.
Also...
Suddenly, an idea flashed through my mind. Why couldn't I become a true member of this place?
Could I recruit the berserk warriors of the Virgin Islands and use my level, equipment, and mount to strengthen them? Could I create a powerful army of my own in the Iron Head Wastelands?
This way, with this kind of strength, I will have the right to speak!
Suddenly, I had a goal. Yes, I would unify all the barbaric players in the Iron Head Wastelands and create a Golden Dynasty of my own. I would be able to fight against the wolves around us!
First, I started with Battle Scar and Kiss Scar. Battle Scar was an iron-willed warrior who was honest and courageous, so it wouldn't be difficult to recruit him. As for Kiss Scar, this European beauty was much smarter, and her mechanics were also top-notch. I was afraid that I would have to spend a lot of effort to recruit her. However, once Kiss Scar became my companion, my path to conquer the Iron Skull Wasteland would be much easier!
… …
Not long after, news came from Kiss Scar's direction. She had escaped Cloud's pursuit. I let out a long sigh of relief and smiled. "Alright, I can rest easy now..."
Kiss Scar also smiled. "Life is strange. A few hours ago, you were someone I was trying to kill, but now you're worried about my safety."
I replied, "There's nothing I can do about it. We have a common enemy, and an extremely powerful one at that."
Kiss Scar said, "Lu Chen, I've decided to help you obtain this Holy Armament because you're a wild player of the Iron Head Wastelands. What do you plan to do after obtaining this Holy Armament?"
I thought for a moment before saying, "The Fire God's Armor will greatly increase my strength. After obtaining this Holy Armament, I'll first complete a quest. Kiss Scar, how am I going to repay what I owe you?
Or is there something I can do for you? "
Kiss Scar said, "Yes, then... then help me clear the S1 dungeon. How about it?"
"No problem!"
"But, do you have enough strength to clear the S1 dungeon?
First of all, we don't have a priest, so we can't heal you... "
"Don't worry!"
I showed her my stats screen and said, "My base Attack is 23170, my equipment stacks 540%, and my Undead Energy is 50%. My Attack is about 140k, and my base Defense is 27715. My equipment stacks 550%, and my Ghost Deity Shield gives me around 180k Attack. The Ancient Divine Armament also gives me 20% lifesteal. As you can see, Breeze and Rain's Beast King Cavalry won't be able to break through my Defense unless they use Barrier Break. Is this enough to help you clear the S1 dungeon?"
"Oh..."
Kiss Scar blinked. "That's too OP. We've already cleared the S2 dungeon, so let's skip the S1 dungeon..."
Me: "..."
… …
I turned off the communicator and told Kiss Scar and Battle Scar to take our people into hiding and grind. They were at their weakest right now, so it was best not to fight them head-on. I brought up the world map and created a hexagram pattern. I walked back and forth across the canyon without engaging Breeze and Rain in combat. I used the movement speed advantage of the Ancient Divine Dragon to confuse Breeze and Rain.
Almost 10 hours had passed by the time I finished drawing the hexagram. Breeze and Rain slapped his thigh as he stared at the big map. Then, he turned to Xing Yun and said regretfully, "Heavens … Lu Chen was drawing a map!!
I … I should have thought of that earlier … "
Xingyun burst into laughter.
…

Standing in the middle of the canyon, happiness welled up within me. I took out the Vulcan's Helmet from my bag. This helmet was covered in thick flames, and it was extremely beautiful!
