Chapter 499: A Great Win!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Crimson Moon World, Emerald Lake City!
The sky was dark. Basto led a group of Crimson Moon Guards in Crimson Moon Armor to patrol the streets of Emerald Lake City.
“Lord Basto!
When the citizens on the street saw Basto, they bowed and greeted him respectfully.
Basto would nod arrogantly every time he encountered such a situation. In fact, he enjoyed this feeling very much.
“Even though I’m only a small leader of the Crimson Moon Guard now, I’m not someone ordinary people can compare to…”
Basto thought smugly.
Suddenly, Basto heard a series of exclamations. He realized that many people on the long street were looking up at the sky in shock
“What’s in the sky?” Basto instinctively looked up at the sky.
The next moment, he saw a group of densely packed figures.
“Pfft!
A stream of light instantly penetrated Basto’s body, causing his consciousness to fall into darkness.
At the last moment of his life, he suddenly realized that a large number of experts had invaded Emerald Lake City.
But… where did those people come from?
Not only Basto, but the group of Crimson Moon Guards beside him were also instantly killed by the streams of light that rushed over.
“Not good—Someone has invaded our Emerald Lake City!”
The entire Emerald Lake City instantly fell into chaos.
“Ignore those miscellaneous soldiers and immediately attack the Crimson Moon Shrine in the center of the city!”
In the sky, five two-star adventurers shouted and led Chu Zhou and more than 2,500 people to charge towards the most spectacular Crimson Moon Shrine in Emerald Lake City.
In just a moment, they arrived in front of the Crimson Moon Shrine.
Kill these intruders!
A furious roar sounded from the Crimson Moon Shrine.
Instantly, a large number of Crimson Moon Guards surged out of the buildings like a tidal wave.
The Crimson Moon Guards scattered throughout Emerald Lake City had also received news of a powerful enemy invading the Crimson Moon Shrine. They rushed over from all over Emerald Lake City.
“Kill all the invaders!
A large number of Crimson Moon Guards waved their weapons and charged at the invading adventurers like a tide.
“Get lost!
A bald Two-Star Adventurer roared ferociously and struck out with his hammer. Ripples appeared in the air, and hundreds or thousands of Crimson Moon Guards were instantly shattered into blood mist.
The other four two-star adventurers also started a massacre, killing the Crimson Moon Guards one after another.
Right on the heels of that, more than 30 One-Star Adventurers also ruthlessly killed the group of Crimson Moon Guards as if they were cutting straw.
These two-star and one-star Adventurers were all elites among elites. Their strength was too strong.
Those Crimson Moon Guards were too weak in front of them and were harvested like straw.
Chu Zhou and the other newcomers were also led by four Two-Star Adventurers and more than 30 One-Star Adventurers to kill the Crimson Moon Guards.
In an instant, the Crimson Moon Guard suffered heavy casualties. Blood flowed like a river and corpses piled up like mountains.
Even though there were many Crimson Moon Guards, they were only Star
Realm Martial Artists. In front of Chu Zhou and the other Domain Lord-level experts who were like wolves and tigers, they were not enough.
In less than ten minutes, half of the Crimson Moon Guards that swarmed out of the buildings of the Crimson Moon Shrine were killed by Chu Zhou and the others.
Chu Zhou blended into the crowd as his eyes lit up. He quietly fused his personal space with the ground and collected the corpses of the Crimson Moon Guards one after another.
Now that the battle was intense, they did not notice Chu Zhou’s ‘a cheap shot, a cheap trick’.
Seeing that the Crimson Moon Guards had completely collapsed, the battle situation was completely on the adventurers’ side.
But at this moment, a red mist suddenly surged out from the buildings of the Crimson Moon Shrine.
The red fog spread very quickly and almost instantly covered the surroundings of the entire Crimson Moon Shrine. All the adventurers and many Crimson Moon Guards were within its range.
“Chu Zhou, be careful. This red fog contains soul poison!” Adkins warned as his expression changed drastically when he saw the surging red fog.
Soul Poison?
Chu Zhou was shocked. The red fog severely affected his vision. He was about to release his divine sense to investigate.
However, after hearing Adkins’ reminder, he immediately dismissed the idea of releasing his divine sense.
“Hahaha, kill kill kill…”
“B*stard, go to hell!”
In the red fog, a series of crazy roars suddenly sounded. The sound of swords stabbing into bodies and the sound of intense fighting sounded continuously.
“Oh? There are adventurers fighting each other?”
Chu Zhou looked at the corpses of the two adventurers in front of him and his expression changed slightly.
These two adventurers each used their weapons to pierce through each other’s bodies. They perished together.
This made Chu Zhou immediately realize that there was a huge problem with the red fog.
“Everyone, don’t spread out your divine will, and don’t absorb this fog into your bodies.” A two star adventurer shouted loudly, “This red fog is a type of soul poison fog refined by experts who cultivate the Laws of Death. It’s specially used to stimulate the urge to kill in the soul. No matter what, don’t let your spiritual energy or soul come into contact with this red fog.”
When Chu Zhou heard this, he became even more vigilant. He directly fused into the dimensional space and used the spatial barrier to separate himself from the red fog.
At some point in time, a black windbreaker had appeared on Adkins’ body. Rings of green light spread out from his windbreaker, pushing the red fog far away.
“Adkins’s windbreaker can actually isolate the soul poison fog… Looks like it’s not an ordinary windbreaker!”
Chu Zhou glanced at Adkins and thought to himself.
“Annihilation Storm!”
At this moment, a two-star adventurer roared angrily. A terrifying storm instantly swept through the entire place, and all the red mist was forcefully blown away.
However, when the red fog disappeared, Chu Zhou and the other adventurers secretly gasped.
Of the 2,500 people who had come here, only 1,500 were left.
The wave of red mist just now had almost killed a thousand adventurers participating in the assessment.
“This Adventurer Assessment is indeed very dangerous!” Chu Zhou thought to himself.
Compared to the adventurers who had suffered heavy casualties, the red poisonous fog was almost harmless to the Crimson Moon Guard.
Or rather, these Crimson Moon Guards were already prepared for Protection.
Die!!!
Seeing that their side had suffered heavy casualties, the five two-star adventurers went crazy. One of them unleashed an earth-shattering attack that directly blasted most of the remaining Crimson Moon Guards into a bloody mist.
However, just as the Crimson Moon Guard suffered heavy casualties, more than 2,000 figures that were clearly stronger than the Crimson Moon Guard surged out of the buildings of the Crimson Moon Shrine.
Most of them had a Scarlet Moon mark on their foreheads.
There were also a few with two Scarlet Moon Marks on their foreheads.
10 of them had three Scarlet Moon Marks on their foreheads.
Chu Zhou and the others immediately recognized him. The Crimson Moon Commander had one Red Moon Mark, the Crimson Moon Priests had two Red Moon Marks, and the Crimson Moon High Priest had three Red Moon Marks.
“Hmph, you adventurers actually used our Crimson Moon World as an assessment venue. All of you will stay here today!”
A Crimson Moon High Priest said ferociously.
“The 10 of us will kill the five two-star adventurers first! The Crimson Moon
Priests will deal with the one-star adventurers… Crimson Moon Commander, go and kill all the new adventurers.”
“The Universe Adventurer Alliance thinks that our Crimson Moon Church is a native faction that has no contact with the outside world? How dare they treat our Crimson Moon Church as an assessment venue for adventurers… This time, we’ll wipe out all the adventurers participating in the assessment.”
The 10 Crimson Moon Priests said coldly. They turned into 10 afterimages and charged towards the five two-star adventurers.
“This is troublesome… The Crimson Moon Church knows so much about adventurers. I’m afraid they’re not a native force at all, but a powerful force that has a lot of contact with the cosmic civilizations outside. Or perhaps the Crimson Moon Church itself is a powerful cosmic force that hides itself very well…”
Adkins said to Chu Zhou with a solemn expression.
Chu Zhou nodded silently.
From the words of the few Crimson Moon High Priests just now, he could tell that the Crimson Moon Church was definitely not simple.
At this moment, the 10 Crimson Moon High Priests and five two-star adventurers were already fighting crazily.
There was also a group of Crimson Moon Priests who charged towards the
30-odd one-star adventurers.
Almost 3,000 Crimson Moon Commanders also charged at Chu Zhou and the other newcomers.
“Kill!” Chu Zhou waved his Divine Wing Saber and killed a Crimson Moon Commander who was charging at him. He also stored the other party’s corpse in his internal space.
“It’s not safe to just kill one Crimson Moon Commander. He might not have the
Crimson Moon Ring on him… Kill a few more!”
Chu Zhou muttered to himself. His figure flashed a few times and killed three more Crimson Moon Commanders who were charging at him.
At this moment, Adkins had also successfully killed a Crimson Moon Commander. He immediately took a Crimson Moon Ring from the other party’s corpse.
However, when he saw Chu Zhou kill four Crimson Moon Commanders like cutting vegetables, he was stunned.
“Chu… Zhou, your strength is actually so strong!” Adkins said in shock.
Chu Zhou smiled faintly and said, “We’ve already obtained the Crimson Moon Ring. In other words, as long as we leave the Crimson Moon World, we can complete the assessment quest.”
Shouldn’t we leave now?”
“Leave? Why should we leave?” Adkins looked into the depths of the Crimson Moon Shrine’s buildings with a burning gaze and said excitedly, “Chu Zhou, this Crimson Moon Church actually has so many experts. They’re much stronger than an elementary civilization in the universe.”
“Such a force must have a large number of treasures…”
“Since we have the chance to come here, how can we just leave after obtaining a Crimson Moon Ring?”
“Right now, the 10 Crimson Moon High Priests and many Crimson Moon Priests are busy dealing with those Two-Star and One-Star Adventurers… The Crimson Moon Shrine’s defenses are empty. It’s the best time for us to snatch the treasure.”
“Why don’t we make a killing?”
Adkins looked at Chu Zhou with a burning gaze.
When Chu Zhou heard this, he was immediately tempted. Adkins was right. Such a powerful faction like the Crimson Moon Church definitely had shocking treasures.
Now was the best time to seize the treasures of the Crimson Moon Church. If he missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult to encounter it again in the future.
Most importantly… he was in dire need of money.
Now was the best chance to get rich.
“Cheers!
Chu Zhou gritted his teeth and agreed to Adkins’ suggestion.
In the next moment, he simply grabbed Adkins and teleported into the interior of the Crimson Moon Shrine..
