Chapter 56: The Blade of Severance (Part 1)

  "Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully killed Spider Queen - Elise, gaining 300,000 experience and 500 reputation!"

  "Ding, congratulations on completing the Lost Mine's final hidden plot, gaining 500,000 experience and 1,000 reputation! Additional rewards: Powerful Spider Silk Ring x1, Black Iron Ore x10, Lost Magic Box x1!"

  "Ding, congratulations on leveling up to 13! Please choose the attribute point distribution method! Mode 1: Add one point to each of the four basic attributes and get an additional two points for free attribute distribution! Mode 2: Get 5 points for free attribute distribution!"

  "Ding, congratulations on leveling up to 14! Please choose how to distribute your attribute points! Mode 1: Add one point to each of the four basic attributes and receive an additional two free attribute points. Mode 2: Receive five free attribute points!"

  Two golden lights burst out from Chu Rui's body, and in an instant his experience value jumped from level 12 to level 14 68%. The entire Spider Queen's experience was swallowed by him alone.

  "Ding, congratulations on completing the ultimate link of the Lost Mine. The Lost Mine is now open. Will you reveal your name?"

  The system's prompt tone made Chu Rui slightly frown. Although he had already exposed himself earlier, it was limited to this new village only, and truly saw him kill the Greedy Wolf Five, only a hundred or so people. And before players change their profession, many functions cannot be used, including camera photography, screenshots, etc. So, he has not been widely exposed yet. As an assassin, being low-key is absolutely necessary. Therefore, Chu Rui's choice was clear.

  "Don't reveal!"

  "Ding, attention all players worldwide, attention all players worldwide, player XXX has successfully killed the Spider Queen - El'goroth, clearing magical obstacles, instance - Lost Mine, now open!"

  "Ding, attention all players worldwide, attention all players worldwide, player XXX has successfully killed the Spider Queen - El'goroth, clearing magical obstacles, instance - Lost Mine, now open!"

  "Ding, attention all players worldwide, attention all players worldwide, player XXX has successfully killed the Spider Queen - El'goroth, clearing magical obstacles, instance - Lost Mine, now open!"

  Continuous system prompt sounds shook the ears. "Tianyun" has been running for three days, and this is still the first time people have heard the entire world's system prompt sound. For most of those who are still fighting with rabbits, wild chickens, gray wolves, and boars, the concept of a copy or BOSS is simply too far-fetched. Nowadays, "Tianyun" has entered a period of explosive growth, causing the already small newbie village to become overcrowded, especially with monsters, which are almost impossible to fight. As soon as they refresh, they get killed by a group of waiting mobs. Conflicts over monster kills are not uncommon. Now that an instance has been opened, it's a huge relief for this pressure. After all, instances can allow countless teams to enter without any conflicts on a flat map.

  For the outside world that was in an uproar and still seething, Chu Rui didn't have the energy to care. After replying to the text messages sent by Ye Zi Feng and others one by one, he held the already dim Angel's Heart in his hand, looking at the three letters "K, L, H", and felt a slight melancholy in his heart.

  A faint light flashed, and the virtual shadows of Kris, Ronnie, and Hallef appeared in front of Chu Rui.

  "Now that our wish has come true, our souls have been redeemed, and we should go to where we need to go." Kris looked at Chu Rui with a gentle gaze, her face revealing the same warm smile as when they first met: "Thank you, Sly Hand!"

  Chu Rui was silent.

  "Fearless and dauntless, bold and loyal, speaking the truth with integrity, guarding the light... You are a true knight!" Ronnie said with a smile.

  "No, I am not a knight!" Chu Rui shook his head.

  "Who says it isn't?" Roni smiled slightly, pointing to his chest, saying: "You are the knight here."

  "...We're leaving, going where we should go. Tell Dad for me, sorry, I love him!" Roni's expression was slightly sorrowful.

  "I will!" Chu Rui nodded.

  "I don't have anything good to say, but I still want to say it to you: thank you!" Haleif smiled brightly.

  Chu Rui's mouth corners slightly curved and nodded lightly, indicating that he had received this thank you.

  "You will become a great warrior, and also a great person." Hallef looked at Chu Rui with a serious expression, then smiled and waved his hand at Chu Rui: "Farewell, my friend! Help me apologize to Uncle Holl, for stealing the skill book he treasured."

  "Goodbye, my friend. Wish you a lifetime of happiness!"

  Kris, Ronnie, and Halle smiled and waved goodbye as their bodies began to fade away slowly.

  The white light dissipated, and the cave returned to its original dark gloom. Chris, Ronnie, Hallef, they were all gone.

  Parting in life and death!

  Such things Chu Rui didn't know how many times he had seen, but this time it made him even more heart-wrenching. A kind of emotion called sadness spread throughout his body, filling his heart.

  The person has gone, leaving only melancholy.

  A beautiful encounter, no matter how beautiful it is, is just an encounter after all. In the end, everything follows the trajectory of fate, dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth. However, at least this good experience, Chu Rui will not forget. The brief time that has passed will turn into something called "memory", forever stored in Chu Rui's mind. There are many things in this world that cannot be forgotten, just like the radiant light released by the angel's heart!

  Kris, Ronnie, Hallef, they really went!

  Chu Rui lowered his head, looking at the palm of his hand where the Angel's Heart that was originally shining brightly now had no light at all, just like a real stone. However, those three letters were still so clear.

  Heaving a faint sigh, Chu Rui put the Angel's Heart into his backpack and began to gather his spoils of war, sorting out his somewhat depressed mood.

  After sweeping away all players who were blown up by Spider Queen El'goroth, then frantically collecting her corpse with Harvesting.

  "Ding, unfortunately, your gathering skill has failed and you did not obtain any items. Gathering skill experience points increased!"

  "Ding, unfortunately, your gathering skill has failed and you did not obtain any items. Gathering skill experience points increased!"

  “…………”

  The constant failure prompts made Chu Rui slightly headache. This damn level is too low, and it's useless to collect even a single hair from the BOSS.

  The harder it is to collect, the more precious it proves to be! Chu Rui had no choice but to muster up his spirits.

  "Ding, unfortunately, your gathering skill has failed and you did not obtain any items. Gathering skill experience increased!"

  "Ding, unfortunately, your gathering skill has failed and you did not obtain any items. Gathering skill experience points have increased!"

  "Ding, collection technique successful! Congratulations on obtaining Spider Queen's Venom Sac * 1! Collection technique experience value increased!"

  “…………”

  "Ding, collection technique successful! Congratulations on obtaining Spider Emperor's Legs * 3! Collection technique experience value increased!"

  “…………”

  "Ding, collection technique successful! Congratulations on obtaining Poisonous Spider Fang * 2! Collection technique experience value increased!"

  “…………”
