Quest Tip ②: The Ancient Sealing Array is located beneath Ussuri City. Cursed creatures must die within 5 meters outside the city walls of Ussuri City for their blood to effectively absorb the curse energy and open the array.
Blood of cursed creatures collected: 0/1000000 portions (1 cursed creature/1 portion)
In the [Cursed Forest] instance, Lin Yi stared in shock at his freshly updated quest content, gasping.
A million portions, which means killing a million cursed creatures within the effective range of Ussuri City – when would that ever be done?
Shuai Diaozha noticed Lin Yi’s uneasy expression and asked:
"Boss Feng, you okay?"
Lin Yi quickly calmed his turbulent emotions and recounted the quest details to everyone. Zhang Xinying asked:
"Does the quest require we personally make the kills count?"
Lin Yi was momentarily stunned:
Everyone also realized:
"I thought so; the system wouldn’t issue such a ridiculous quest."
"Scared me to death, the thought of killing a million creatures gave me the creeps."
And Lin Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief, saying:
"That’s a relief then."
If ten thousand players go, each killing ten, it can be accomplished easily.
Especially with the sheer number from the Indonesia War Zone, ten thousand?
Lin Yi estimated that if each person kills one, the quest could be completed.
At this moment, Zhan Chen also exited from the Indonesia War Zone’s official site, saying:
"Don’t celebrate yet, take a look at this."
Because Lin Yi and the others were players from the Hua Country War Zone, they hadn’t received system notifications from the Indonesia War Zone.
To check the movements in the Indonesia War Zone, Lin Yi and the others had to go online to the Indonesia War Zone’s game forum.
Zhan Chen posted two previous system announcements from the Indonesia War Zone, leaving Shuai Diaozha bewildered:
"Damn, with the City Lord doing this, aren’t we screwed?"
You need to know that cursed creatures need to be killed within the Ussuri City area to count as valid kills.
If players kill cursed creatures when they’re still in the wild, this quest would never be completed.
Just then, the countdown to instance exit ended, and everyone was forcibly removed from the instance, appearing outside it.
Unexpectedly, the place, previously swarming with people, now was completely deserted.
Looking around, the nearby area was swarming with foul-smelling cursed creatures (wild monsters), marching in unison, staggering towards Ussuri City.
Even more strangely, these cursed creatures ignored Lin Yi and the others, bypassing them without attacking.
Xiao He looked baffled:
"Look, we gained a new status."
Sure enough, in their status bar was a new icon resembling Death God:
Spirit of the Curse: Curse energy has attached to you, relationship with cursed creatures: [Peaceful], effective duration: 5:57:42.
Everyone suddenly realized:
"So we’ve become one of the cursed creatures."
"So what do we do next?"
Shuai Diaozha expressed his concern:
"This quest clearly wants us to cause chaos, allowing these cursed creatures to break through the player defense line and enter the city."
"But if that’s the case, we’ll be facing the entire player base of the Indonesia War Zone, that’s a bit terrifying!"
At this moment, Tian Ci patted Xiao He on the shoulder, jesting:
"Terrifying? You’ve got little experience!"
Tian Ci then boasted:
"Back when we did the Cyclops Race quest, we faced the entire He Clan player base and still finished the quest unscathed."
"Later, when Boss Feng went to the Goryeo War Zone, didn’t he face a whole zone single-handedly, throwing them into chaos and even introducing the Winged Race?"
"Now although there are only a dozen of us, just look around..."
Tian Ci exclaimed passionately:
"Isn’t this vast landscape filled with our allies?"
"Causing trouble for Ah San is no harder than reaching out for it."
Lin Yi listened to Tian Ci’s bravado, shaking his head with a wry smile:
"You’re quite the optimist."
Since their game map was pitch black, only showing coordinates, Lin Yi had to go online to find a full map of Ussuri City.
Ussuri City was a massive city, larger than the Four Major Cities of Hua, with eight gates, two on each side.
Lin Yi suddenly told Shuai Diaozha and the others:
"Check their game forum to see where their guilds are located; then we can target weak spots for an attack, breaking them from within."
Shuai Diaozha and the others responded promptly:
Lin Yi then compared with the coordinates of the array activation, realizing it corresponded to the City Lord’s Mansion of Ussuri City!
This was unexpected for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi suddenly remembered seeing City Lord Frankie back in the ’Haunted House’, frowning.
This made Lin Yi realize that the most challenging aspect of the quest might not be the million cursed creatures but rather how to successfully activate the Sealing Array.
With nearly six months of game experience, Lin Yi guessed that Frankie would definitely interfere.
This intercepting quest he issued wasn’t just a simple coincidence.
However, Frankie’s level was as high as Lv80; only the City Lord of White Tiger City in the Hua Country War Zone was higher at Lv83, and Babylon of Cyan Dragon City was Lv75.
If he caused trouble, how was Lin Yi supposed to respond?
Lin Yi suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Oh well, take it one step at a time.
Lin Yi thought to put this matter aside for now, asking Tian Ci and others:
"How’s the investigation going?"
"It might take some time; there are too many player videos uploaded."
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Shuai Diaozha and Tian Ci confirmed a location after cross-referencing:
Lin Yi then decisively said:
"Then we’ll attack the North Second Gate with full force."
"Once we disrupt them and let these mobs in, we can surely break down their defensive line from the inside."
Having decided, Lin Yi no longer hesitated:
Activating flight mode
Lin Yi spread his feathered wings and soared into the sky, with everyone summoning their flying mounts (feathered wings) to hurriedly follow.
Meanwhile, outside the North Second Gate of Ussuri City, KOS Guild President Chavez was leading a large group towards the wild.
This time, he aimed to vent all his anger from having the instance first kill snatched away on this event:
