Star Abyss Walker

……

"..."

My heart skipped a beat. It was a Tier 3 purple sword with a terrifying attack power of 500 points, more than twice that of the Legion Blade. In addition, its attack speed was far superior to the Legion Blade, it had 4% life steal, and its armor penetration reached 25%. When used in conjunction with the Heavenly Craftsmanship, it was almost as if the opponent's armor was stripped off!

Unfortunately, this is a Tier 3 weapon. I need to level up to 30 and complete the breakthrough quest to advance to a Tier 3 sword-type super weapon before I can wield it.

In his arms, Cheng Feng had already lost all signs of life, his eyes filled with resentment as he died.

In the distance, the roar of engines could be heard. In the blink of an eye, two Crimson Dragon Kingdom infantry fighting vehicles sped over. The doors opened, and several figures, indistinct in the blinding lights, rushed over.

"Cheng Feng!"

The leader, dressed in a special combat suit and holding a long sword, first glanced at the corpse of the third-tier demon spirit, then his gaze fell on Cheng Feng's corpse.

I recognize this person. He's the sentry captain who came to Xicheng with Cheng Feng. His name is Qin Lang, and Cheng Feng calls him Captain Qin.

"It's you... Ding Han?"

Qin Lang recognized me, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Cheng Feng, he..."

"Team Leader Qin."

I calmed myself down and said, "I heard a loud noise in the middle of the night and knew that a battle had taken place here, but it was too late when I arrived. Cheng Feng was seriously injured and died while trying to kill the demon spirit."

"Team Leader Cheng!"

At that moment, two young men in sentry uniforms rushed over, knelt on one knee on each side, and tears streamed down their faces.

"Don't cry! Cheng Feng died to kill the demon, and he died a worthy death!"

Team Leader Qin looked up and said, "Call a helicopter to escort Cheng Feng's body back to China."

"Yes, Captain Qin..."

One of the sentries wiped away his tears and took out his communicator to call for backup.

Team Leader Qin then took out a device resembling radar and tested it in all directions to confirm that there was no other demon spirit before looking at me and the Wind Riding Sword in my hand.

"Ding Han..."

He frowned and hinted, "Cheng Feng's sword is the property of the Great Wall Watch."

I handed Cheng Feng's body to the two sentries, holding the Wind-Riding Sword in both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Captain Qin, before Captain Cheng sacrificed himself, he told me personally that he wanted to give this sword to me so that I could inherit his will."

"is it?"

Team Leader Qin was startled and looked at Cheng Feng's body with a mixture of belief and doubt.

I nodded: "If I utter even half a lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

"it is good."

Team Leader Qin nodded: "I believe you. This Chengfeng sword was handcrafted by a master who lived in seclusion in Jiangning City before Cheng Feng joined the Great Wall Watch Legion. It is of extremely high quality. Over the years, Cheng Feng has been inseparable from it. Since he has passed the sword on to you, you should keep it well and not let him down."

"I will."

"This third-tier demon spirit..."

Team Leader Qin turned his gaze back to the decapitated demon corpse and said, "It appeared not far from your residence, and Cheng Feng intercepted and killed it here. Do you know what that means?"

"what?"

"That means this demon is after you."

Team Leader Qin looked at him intently: "Ding Han, all demons and spirits in the world are bloodthirsty. The higher the rank of a demon or spirit, the more it craves the Yuan Power Furnace nurtured within a human's body. Your Yuan Power Furnace is of a very high rank, a delicacy to the demon or spirit. So this demon or spirit actually came for you. It came here to devour your Yuan Power Furnace, while Cheng Feng sacrificed himself to protect you!"

"..."

I was completely stunned.

When they looked at Cheng Feng's body again, it had already been wrapped up by two sentries.

The roar of propellers echoed through the air as a Red Dragon Kingdom military helicopter appeared in the city, lowered its sling, and carried away Cheng Feng's body. Meanwhile, the demon spirit's corpse was taken away by several sentries in an infantry fighting vehicle.

"Ding Han".

Team Leader Qin looked at me again: "Cheng Feng died for you, and you still refuse to join the Great Wall Watch?"

"Captain Qin, I cannot give you an answer at the moment."

My mind was a bit confused: "Besides, the battle of Xicheng is imminent, now is not the time to consider this issue."

"Ah."

Team Leader Qin nodded: "Then I'm leaving. Take care." "Okay!"

Qin Lang left in a helicopter, and I turned to look at the residential area where I live.

……

Just then, the star chart suddenly vibrated, followed by a voice in his ear:
"I am the player 'Gunfire Like a Dragon.' Attention all players in Xicheng! The Grey Worm Legion has just launched a sudden and intense bombardment of the east wall of Xicheng. Several sections of the wall have already collapsed. All players are requested to proceed to the east side of Xicheng to prepare for battle!"

Gunfire Like a Dragon repeated this announcement three times.

Immediately afterwards, the earth trembled slightly, and flames shot into the sky in the direction of Xidong. Sure enough, the war had begun!

At that moment, a government announcement came over the street loudspeaker:

"The Dark Tide has officially launched its attack on Xicheng. Urgent notice: all residents must evacuate immediately! The passage from Xicheng to the Crimson Dragon Kingdom has been fully opened. All Xicheng residents, please evacuate in an orderly manner! Please do not panic. The Xicheng garrison will cover your retreat and protect the safety of all Xicheng civilians!"

The repeated broadcasts were incredibly irritating.

In an instant, almost all the lights came on, followed by the sound of a horn. A pickup truck pulled up beside them, and a familiar figure sat in the truck—it was none other than Xu Tian, ​​the Milk Tea Life-Sustaining Immortal!

"Ding Han, shall we go?"

Xu Tian looked at me: "Go to Xidong and confront the Dark Tide!"

"it is good!"

Without saying a word, I jumped into the pickup truck and sped away after a bumpy ride!

As I passed by the residential area, I looked up and saw the lights on on the fourth floor. Lin Qingying was standing on the balcony; she probably had already seen me.

After I crossed the road, I immediately switched to combat mode, revealing my health bar as a player, and holding the Wind Whisperer in my hand. I asked, "Has everyone crossed yet?"

"should be."

Xu Tian said, "But the Dark Tide attacked very hastily, without any warning. No one was prepared, so they must be gathering from all directions."

"This is not good."

I frowned: "Find someone to create a team and have everyone join automatically!"

"Row!"

The next moment, the voice of "Gunfire Like a Dragon" came from the star map: "Attention all players, open team mode and search for 'Gunfire Like a Dragon'. My team is completely public, and everyone can join and fight together!"

So I immediately searched for the team and confirmed my joining.

When I joined the team, there were only eleven people, mostly players from the Crimson Sky Alliance. But in the blink of an eye, I heard a series of ringing sounds as many players joined the team!
[Team Notice: Please note that player 〖Qingqing Haitang〗 has joined the team!]

[Team Notice: Please note that player "I'm bad but I can talk a lot" has joined the team!]

[Team Notice: Please note that player 〖Hongwu Emperor〗 has joined the team!]

[Team Notice: Please note that player [Fallen Feather] has joined the team!]

[Team Formation Notice: Please note that player "Hope of the Village" has joined the team!]

……

Within just a few minutes, the team had grown to over a hundred people!

With the pickup truck roaring furiously, our group finally arrived at the Xidong area. We saw flames soaring into the sky along the eastern city wall, and the flags of the Dark Tide could be vaguely seen fluttering within the city.

Upon opening the map, one can see that the crimson power representing the undercurrent has surged into the eastern part of Xicheng.

"Damn it, they've broken in!"

Xu Tian said in a deep voice, "Stop the car, get out and find cover. Prepare for a street battle with these beasts from the Dark Tide!"

At this moment, the city was in chaos. Countless civilians of Xicheng were fleeing their neighborhoods, some by car and some on foot, all heading north. The streets were soon packed with people.

"Ding Han!"

Not far away, the door of an SUV opened, and Gun Churu stepped out carrying a submachine gun. He seemed relieved when he saw us and said, "Get ready for street fighting! Ding Han, don't leave yet, you're too conspicuous. Here's something good for you."

As he spoke, he opened the trading panel and immediately traded me a box with a red cross on it!
It's a first-aid kit! A first-aid kit worth over 3 RMB!

The advantage of a high-level item like a medkit is that it can instantly restore 50% of a player's health and heal all injuries, including serious ones. This means that as long as the player is not dead, a single medkit can save them from the brink of death!
"Thank you very much!"

I didn't say much, just carried the Wind Whisperer and flew away. In the blink of an eye, I jumped onto the roof of a nearby bungalow. After choosing a shooting position, I locked onto the heads of a group of Dark Tide Vanguard soldiers who were carrying flamethrowers and were killing and burning everywhere. Then I shot them in the head twice each!
"Find your firing positions, and be careful to avoid and cover civilians!"

Gun Dragon and his companions immediately went into battle mode, and a fierce firefight broke out on the streets with the Dark Tide army.

……

A few minutes later, the nearby residential area was almost completely deserted. To the east, the sound of artillery fire boomed. Before long, figures appeared indistinctly in the smoke. It was a Dark Tide elite squad wearing second-generation armor!
"Damn it, it's another second-generation A!"

With a furrowed brow, Spear Strike: "Concentrate firepower and wipe them all out! Be quick! Shield-type superweapons, don't hesitate! Charge forward with your shields up to draw fire. Once your health bars drop below half, unleash your ultimate charge and escape! Everyone, attack in shifts and try to take them down with zero losses!"

Everyone was thrilled!

And I took out my purple bomb gun!
