Chapter 125 102: New Bloodline: Demon Summoner

Wudi was soon brought over to the edge of the Gray Mist by another player.

[Attention: You are approaching the entrance to the "Unknown Battlefield Ruins." This is a multiplayer exploration zone with a three-person limit, but you may also choose to enter alone. Please prepare accordingly before entering.]

[Pass through the Gray Mist to enter the area. The Spirit Candle will guide you.]

"I alone am enough."

Wudi walked in arrogantly, naturally choosing to enter alone.

After he left,

the others crowded around, and someone started to make fun of Brother Aotian.

"Hahahahaha, Brother Aotian, how'd you let a newbie steal your thunder?"

"Hmph, there's a difference between being proud and being conceited. This newbie doesn't know his own limits. Reality will teach him a lesson," Brother Aotian snorted coldly.

Compared to this "Wudi," Brother Aotian seemed much smarter.

He was just roleplaying, while this newbie kid was genuinely a moron…

"This newbie's even more confident than you. Not only did he dare to talk to Brother Yu like that, but he also went into the ruins alone."

"I bet he's lit the Spirit Candle by now and seen that Minotaur guard."

"Be a little bolder. He's probably already resurrected by now."

"You're all wrong. The truth is, he's gritting his teeth and toughing it out right now, too afraid to quit and get laughed at by us."

"Hahaha…"

The group of players doubled over with laughter.

After laughing for a while, they formed a team and entered the ruins. Naturally, they were also there to try and take on the Minotaur.

As for the newbie Wudi, things were indeed unfolding just as they had predicted…

After entering the Fog Gate, Wudi didn't find himself at sea. Instead, he appeared directly inside a canyon. Behind him was the Gray Mist leading back, and in front of him was the ethereal image of a Spirit Candle.

Further in the distance, at the canyon's exit, a Minotaur nearly five meters tall stood like a golden wall, completely blocking the path. It had golden horns and shouldered a pitch-black, giant hammer.

Every inch of its skin seemed cast from gold, glowing with a brilliant sheen. Intricate Spells were interwoven across its body, and its muscles were so defined it was a fusion of raw violence and artistry.

HUUUFF…

The heavy breaths snorting from its nostrils felt like a gale force wind, creating an intense, oppressive atmosphere.

[Golden Bull Guard]

[Tier: ?]

[Level: 25]

[Talent: ?]

[Skills: ?]

[Description: A Golden Bull Guard that watches over the Battlefield Relics. It is extremely powerful. Proceed with caution!]

It was worth noting that in front of the beast lay several bodies, smashed so flat they were beyond recognition. No flesh or blood was visible, only tattered clothing and armor fragments lying in the craters left behind.

Seeing this, Wudi froze for a moment as the pressure on him mounted instantly.

However, he was still rather confident.

'Isn't this game just simple Rolling and Attacking? I even picked the Mage class. All I have to do is kite this monster to death.'

With that thought, Wudi took a breath and charged forward aggressively.

SMASH—

After the massive crash,

"Pfft…"

the Golden Bull Guard snorted, lifted its giant hammer, and rested it on its shoulder again, its eyes utterly unfazed.

As for Wudi, he had been turned into a wax pancake, the kind you couldn't even scrape off the ground…

"That doesn't count! I didn't even have time to react!" Still unconvinced, Wudi quickly went to resurrect.

"That doesn't count! My Dodge didn't trigger successfully!"

"That doesn't count! My Magic Ball was on cooldown!"

"That doesn't count…"

「A short while later.」

[Attention! Please ensure you have enough Wax Oil to cover your deaths!]

[...]

"...Forget it."

Wudi gritted his teeth and finally admitted defeat. The small amount of Wax Oil he'd scraped together was almost gone. If he died again, he'd probably get thrown into the penalty box.

However, just as he was about to step back into the Gray Mist, he suddenly remembered the crowd of onlookers outside and froze in his tracks.

'I wonder if they're still out there…'

'If I go out this quickly, I'll look like a complete idiot. They'll laugh me out of the place…'

'Even if I have to leave, I can't go out this soon!'

With that, Wudi sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to wait.

...

「The next morning.」

After an announcement that all players could see, Spirit Candle's live update finally began.

Many players who didn't have work or had taken the day off were waiting, either at the login screen or in-game, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new bloodline.

Li Miao and Shore, who had no classes that morning, simply stayed in bed and waited as well.

Guagua clearly had the day off as well.

She looked at Li Miao and Shore and asked curiously, "Huh? Brother Miao, did you guys beat the Mad Fallen Demon Ghost in Seaside Town?"

"…" The two of them fell silent for a moment.

"We managed to get it to the second phase by memorizing its patterns and chugging Wax Blocks, but we ran out of Wax Oil right at that moment…"

Li Miao said with frustration.

After the couple in the underground area used Fusion to become the Mad Fallen Demon Ghost, they would revert to their original forms if too much time passed without a fight.

This made the two of them, who had just returned after farming more Wax Oil, nearly faint from despair. They decided to put that quest on the back burner for the time being.

"Oh… that's such a shame." Guagua felt a little awkward hearing that and knew it would be impolite to press further.

"They're here, they're here! The new players are here!"

Just then, a commotion broke out up ahead, and a group of players excitedly swarmed over.

A new player with the name "Big Banana" over his head looked at the circle of veteran players surrounding him, completely baffled. He scratched his head and asked, "Wha… what's going on?"

"Dude, dude, quick, tell us what the Demon Summoner bloodline does!"

"Stop beating around the bush and spill it!"

The group of players asked excitedly.

But Big Banana looked baffled. "Demon Summoner bloodline? What do you mean?"

Hearing this, the other players' expressions froze.
