Chapter 9: The Hell Guardian

  I remember that in my previous life, Lin Jie's Broken Blade had properties of a genuine 50-level golden equipment when it was still called "Bronze Broken Blade", and after the first unsealing, it was comparable to an 80-level dark gold heavy sword. How can it be so weak now?

  As a 0-level weapon, the attributes of Broken Blade can be said to be against the sky, but after all, Lin Jie has experienced the peak of Broken Blade's glory, and the resulting decline is very large.

  Noticing the blood groove on the Broken Blade, Lin Jie suddenly understood. In his previous life after obtaining the Broken Blade, the blood groove had absorbed nearly two percent of fresh blood, but now there was only half a drop. It seemed to be due to his current strength! The Blood Qi power of a high-level Berserker in his previous life was not something that his current self could compare to.

  Even so, the attributes of the broken blade are still very powerful, allowing Lin Jie's strength to increase by a factor of two.

  At the moment of his celebration, the ground suddenly shook violently, Lin Jie was shocked, this plot didn't exist in his past life! Boom! Rocks burst forth, a gigantic black hand resembling a lizard's claw emerged from beneath the rocks, it was an Underworld Guardian! The Underworld Guardian was a hybrid species between demons and hellhounds, with low intelligence but mastery over dark shadow magic, its body was also extremely massive.

  Hell's guardian with dark fragmented wings burst out of the mountain range, its massive palms staring at Lin Jie in a frantic attack!

  Run!

  Lin Jie activated the Featherfall Gem, gripping the broken blade tightly in his hand. Inherited equipment couldn't be put into a backpack, even if this broken blade looked extremely unimpressive... Under the influence of the strong wind, Lin Jie found it hard to balance his body and tumbled downwards headfirst.

  At the moment of falling, he grabbed a tree branch and swung around it to unload the impact force, landing on the ground.

  The top of the darkness was mostly composed of towering trees, and Lin Jie had no way to walk on the ground, so he could only move between the branches. Fortunately, there were feather-falling gemstones that allowed him to advance in mid-air.

  "ROAR!" The skull of the hell guardian was as big as a dinosaur, its bloody basin-like mouth howling, "————SWIEJ! (Devil's Fire!)"

  Boom! The forest suddenly burst into a scorching devil flame, Lin Jie drank a bottle of blood potion and activated Wild Sprint, rushing towards the top of the giant tree! To escape from the pursuit of the Hell Guardian, the only way out was to return to Mel Town! Running down the mountain with all one's might would be certain death, so he could only make a desperate gamble!

  Like a monkey, Lin Jie used his hands and feet to climb, just as he was about to ascend, the burning tree trunk was thrown over from beside his ear, brushing past him and crashing into a large tree on the side, pressing down a large area of giant trees.

  Dozens of giant trees flew over from a short distance!

  "Damn it." Lin Jie took a deep breath and made a forceful dash towards the top of the tree, with each upward movement, there were whooshing sounds of burning tree trunks beneath his feet, and the forest behind him was in shambles.

  Regional Announcement: The town of Mere is under attack by a Demon Lord, residents are advised to evacuate immediately!

  Regional Announcement: The town of Mair is under attack by the Demon Lord, residents are advised to evacuate immediately!

  Players in the town of Meil look out at the distant mountain peaks, where fierce demonic flames seem to be burning across the sky. A massive demon guardian is climbing up the summit, as if searching for something.

  "Hurry up and inform the boss, Melville town is about to spawn a super BOSS."

  "Monster attacking Melville town, hurry up and come!"

  As new players entered the game, they naturally didn't know how formidable the Hell Watchers were. They loudly called out for people to join them, and within a short span of ten or so minutes, a large crowd had gathered in Melville Town. Even some powerful existences who rarely showed their faces appeared - the Iron Wall Empire's Tianyi Shield, the clumsy fox of Midnight Return, and the Sand Eagle from the Assassin's Workshop, among others. The NPC guard team was urgently mobilized, and the silver-clad Holy Knights stood solemnly at the entrance, shouting "Activate the shield!"

  Hummm...

  A layer of unbreakable shield envelops the top of Meier Town, connecting every Holy Knight. This is the Shield of Life, as long as there are Holy Knights alive to guard the town, the shield will not shatter!

  Hell's guardian descended, and the sky was shrouded in color. At this time, an inconspicuous figure thudded to the ground and drilled into the crowd. Hell's guardian lost Lin Jie from his line of sight, and he let out a frantic roar, venting his anger on these humans!

  "Prepare for battle!" The captain of the Holy Knights shouted, the notes of holy magic surrounding everyone.

  "Hell's Warden unleashed a piercing vibration, making it difficult for the holy light to condense. It frantically tore open the land in front of it, searching for the guy who had stolen the inherited equipment."

  The captain raised the holy sword, and the power of the holy light condensed into a decisive cross, loudly chanting, "Fallen unbelievers in darkness, accept the redemption and judgment of the holy light, in my name Ares, judgment of light!"

  Judgment strikes down upon the Hellguard's head with crushing force, dealing massive damage.

  Lin Jie couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart at the sight: Fortunately, he ran fast enough. The Feathered Gemstone was indeed one of the most extraordinary items, or else nine lives wouldn't have been enough for him to lose.

  The Hell Guardian's body almost burst, flapping its wings to fly back to the top of darkness, and the Holy Knights unleashed their power. The holy light technique condensed into a terrible beam cannon that blasted the Hell Guardian in mid-air!

  The massive body torn to shreds vanished into thin air, and a suit of armor-like object fell down.

  "Equip!"

  "Get equipped! Go quickly!"

  Someone suddenly let out a loud roar, and the players rushed forward in a frenzy, surging towards the dropped equipment! The Hell Guardian was a level 100 creature, so wouldn't the things that exploded out of it be valuable?

  "This is the territory of the Iron Wall Empire!" The highest level of Resisting Heaven Shield, the best equipment, and the most fearless charge, leaped high and stretched out to grab the armor.

  "Heh heh, go down." The Ice Emperor Fox, who had returned in the middle of the night, suddenly appeared on the body of the Heaven Shield and kicked him open without any courtesy, but was shot down by the hunter behind him.

  This hunter was the president of the Hunting Alliance, known as "Ghost Eye" who could shoot through walls. It's said that in reality, he was a sniper who never missed a shot. He smiled coldly, "Fox, I don't want you to get this equipment."

  "Damn it!" The foolish fox helplessly raised his middle finger, he and Gui Yan were old friends as well as old opponents. This guy never played tricks, even when dealing with you, he was always straightforward, which made him truly helpless.

  At this time, a group of players rushed over. Due to the limited skills in the early stage, it was more about hand-to-hand combat! If you grabbed something and held it in your arms, I would kill you; if I hugged it, others would kill me. A piece of equipment had cost countless lives.

  In the chaos of battle, Lin Jie clearly saw that the captain of the "Shadow Demon Workshop" mercenary group, known as the "Killing Organization", was caught by a group of silent and nameless players after equipping himself, beaten to a pulp with a swollen face, and his equipment flew high into the air.

  "Haha, mine!" The Heaven-Defying Shield burst out laughing. He was the closest to the equipment and had the strongest attributes, so it naturally fell into his backpack! Meanwhile, Foolish Fox, Ghostly Eyes, and others didn't give up either, and they all pounced forward.

  The equipment slowly fell, just as the Heaven-Defying Shield was about to reach out and touch it, a foot suddenly tapped his knee, causing the Heaven-Defying Shield's body to tilt. The equipment "whooshed" past his fingertips and flew out, landing perfectly in the arms of the clumsy fox.

  The foolish fox was stunned, putting away his equipment and giving Lin Jie a meaningful look. The kick just now was indeed kicked by Lin Jie. Limb movements: rolling, jumping, smashing, punching, etc. all belong to the basic skills of character actions, which require extremely high skills to use with great proficiency. And this guy... is only level 1?

  "Equipment returned to me, stop!" The clumsy fox gave an order, and suddenly became much quieter. Guiyan was pulling the bowstring aiming at the clumsy fox's head, and put it down with a sigh, "What a pity."

  Stupid Fox: "......"

  "Damn, did you move it?" The Shield of the Heavenly Master grabbed Lin Jie's chest, his square face panting heavily like a cow, if it wasn't for Lin Jie, that equipment would have been his!

  Lin Jie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sorry."

  Everyone was speechless, this guy is really calm.

  The silly fox pressed down on the shoulder of the shield that was supporting the sky and said with a smile, "Sorry about this, old shield. This is my younger cousin, so please let go of your stinky hand first."

  "Hmph, your younger cousin?" The Heaven-Defying Shield sneered, "In that case, I'll issue a kill order. You can send people to protect him, how about it?"

  Lin Jie was shocked, he controlled the equipment to give to Ben Hu Li, purely because this person had a sense of justice. In his previous life 7 years ago, Ben Hu Li was also famous, he formed the Extreme Ice Law Team and infiltrated the Tian Zai camp, obtaining legendary equipment fragments, but he actually handed them over to his subordinates, the reason was simple: he didn't need it, so he gave it to others.

  Would such a person oppose himself and the Iron Wall Empire?

  As for the value, Lin Jie felt that his previous kick was worthless, and at most, it would only make him owe a small favor.

  "Alright, I'll also issue a wanted order for you on the way." The foolish fox said calmly, blocking Lin Jie's path. "I'm hunting down the president of the Iron Wall Empire, while the president is hunting down a level 1 small account. This reputation should be quite impressive."

  "Shield of Heaven's Fury said, 'You...'"

  "That's it, whoever gets it is theirs, if you got it we won't bother you." Guǐ Yǎn said indifferently, "Lǎo Dùn, what you're doing now is losing face."

  "Hmph!" The Heaven-Defying Shield hatefully took people away, turned around and took a look at Lin Jie, his pupils slightly shrinking. This guy, seems somewhat familiar!

  The ghostly eyes nodded in approval at the foolish fox's smug expression, "Not a bad harvest, huh."

  "Hah, if you want it, I'll give it to you." The clumsy fox tossed the armor to Ghost Eye and said with a bitter smile, "100,000 cash, pay me back later."

  The silly fox turned his head and asked Lin Jie, "Brother, I see you have a rich look on your face. How about I give you 200,000 and let it go?"

  Lin Jie curled his lip, this guy was really impolite, turning around to swindle others. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you'd better keep it as a family heirloom."

  "Hey, I'm Bèn Hú Lí. I've returned triumphantly at midnight. If you're interested, join our guild and add me as a friend. I'll be waiting for you anytime."

  Lin Jie smiled and nodded, and also added Ghost Eye as a friend. Many onlookers were envious, and having connected with the two guild leaders was worth dying a few times for.

  It's hard to say that the two big guild leaders lying in the friend list is still very face-saving. But soon after, who will feel that the people in the friend list make him even more face-saving?
