Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 77
But this also created a problem.
Just a few minutes later.
The various instance lobbies began to buzz with excitement.
The reason for the excitement wasn’t just that a new item had entered the global equipment rankings around the teens.
It was…
“The Trident of the Sea Patroller! Damn, it was taken by that Necromancer expert!”
“Now I understand how that expert managed to crush the Yankees so badly. The Sea Patroller’s millions of HP were vaporized in an instant!”
“Who the hell can withstand that?!”
“Millions of damage in an instant? Are you kidding me?”
“It really is that Necromancer expert!”
“The expert was also on Kunpeng Island? In the crowd around us? Damn, I didn’t notice!”
“I brushed past the expert but didn’t get a signature, boo hoo…”
…
There was no helping it; it was just too conspicuous.
On the entire global equipment list.
Only two pieces of equipment had their owner’s information hidden.
One was Hades’ Crystal Skull.
The other was the Sea-Calming Trident!
Although Lu Ran had hidden his personal information, his class was still displayed.
Necromancer!
Furthermore, initially, Hades’ Crystal Skull and the Eight-Armed Vajra weren’t really connected, so no one made the connection.
But now.
Wasn’t this trident the very same thing the Sea Patroller had been holding?
“The attributes seem kinda average, I feel balanced again.”
“Increased Water skill damage? Probably not very useful for that Necromancer expert, right?”
“The passive changes skill area of effect and shape? That’s just weird, pretty useless too!”
“The Intelligence bonus is so damn high, though! It’s still a top-tier item!”
“Duh, would it be on the global equipment list if it wasn’t top-tier?”
…
Meanwhile, on Kunpeng Island.
Many combatants had already left.
By the shore, the dozen or so Japanese Onmyoji were also preparing to move on, planning to head inland to search for traces of that Necromancer.
But right at that moment.
Several figures blocked their path.
Four of them wore black cloaks, concealing their appearances. In the middle was a young man in mage robes, holding a trident.
That trident looked somewhat familiar?
They couldn’t use cross-border communicators and hadn’t been to the instance lobbies, so they were naturally unaware of the changes on the equipment list.
So, although the trident seemed familiar, they didn’t connect it to the Sea Patroller from earlier.
After all, equipment like tridents wasn’t exactly rare in some water-based instances.
But having just been about to move out and suddenly finding their path blocked, they felt a bit guilty.
One of them stepped forward with a smile.
He said, “Everyone, is there something we can help you with? My friends and I were just grinding mobs here. We haven’t disturbed you, have we?”
Hearing this.
Ye Hongyi burst out laughing.
She waved her hand and said, “No, no, I can’t take it! This accent is just too damn ridiculous! It’s fluent, but so awkward!”
Especially since Ye Hongyi already suspected they were Japanese infiltrators.
Hearing it now, it seemed blatantly obvious!
Those dozen or so people were visibly startled upon seeing Ye Hongyi’s face.
This woman’s appearance also felt very familiar!
But they couldn’t place it immediately.
“Alright then, I guess that confirms it. This was an oversight on my part. It seems we’ll need to start setting up defenses along the shores of the Forbidden Sea from now on.” Lei Tai said with a sigh, simultaneously pulling back his hood.
This time, the group recognized him instantly!
“Lei Tai!” one of them shouted in terror.
They had sneaked in illegally; of course, they feared the War Banner Guardians responsible for protecting Longxia’s borders. Lei Tai’s reputation and his rough, memorable features were etched into their minds!
They never expected to run into Lei Tai here!
This was just…
Not like running into the muzzle of a gun, but more like running into the barrel of a cannon!
“Lei Tai is alone! The other Guardians aren’t here. Let’s kill him! Don’t give him a chance to use his communicator!” someone shouted.
With numbers on their side, killing Lei Tai wasn’t entirely impossible.
But hearing this, Lei Tai was fuming.
He cursed, “Damn it! Do you really think I’m that weak in your eyes? You think a bunch of punks like you can take me down?”
At that moment.
Ye Hongyi, standing nearby, also said, “Hey, is my reputation that small? They recognized you, so why not me?”
This left Ye Hongyi feeling a bit unbalanced.
The group heard this and looked at Ye Hongyi, thinking, Is this woman famous too? No wonder she looks familiar.
Suddenly.
One of them cried out in fear, “I remember now! Ye Hongyi of the Longxia Ladies’ Army! She’s… she’s the guild leader of the Scarlet Mansion! The head of the Crimson Leaf Merchant Guild!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the dozen-plus men instantly turned pale.
Two of the Four Great Guild Leaders of Longxia were right here!
What sin had they committed to deserve this?!
They had barely survived a perilous journey across the Forbidden Sea to come ashore, only to run into Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi!
Just then.
Liu Xinxin also pulled back her hood and said to Ye Hongyi with a smile, “Sister Hongyi, your reputation is certainly well-known. It’s just that Lei Tai, as the leader of the War Banner Guardians, probably gets more of their attention.”
But as soon as the words left her mouth.
Immediately, someone else shouted, “Liu Xinxin! Leader of the Mirage Guild!”
Ye Hongyi’s face, which had just started to brighten, fell again. These guys could even recognize the usually reserved and low-key Liu Xinxin at a glance!
“Alright, alright, enough playing around. Let’s get down to business.” Yu Cangqiong also said, somewhat amused, as he pulled back his own hood.
“Yu… Yu Cangqiong…” This time, many clearly recognized him, their voices trembling.
At this moment.
The hearts of these dozen or so Onmyoji were utterly crushed.
If given a choice, they would rather never have come to Longxia, never participated in this illegal crossing, and preferably stayed far away from Nanami!
But now, it was too late for regrets.
The Four Great Guilds of Longxia.
Yu Cangqiong, leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Lei Tai, leader of the War Banner Guardians.
Liu Xinxin, leader of the Mirage Guild.
Ye Hongyi, leader of the Scarlet Mansion.
All four guild leaders had gathered here!
They had just come ashore!
They hadn’t done anything yet!
But with cross-border teleportation sealed, their crime of illegal entry was undeniable. In this datafied world, sneaking into another nation’s borders was a capital offense!
And they had actually thought about killing Lei Tai.
If it were just Lei Tai alone, there might have been a sliver of hope.
But now, with all four guild leaders right before their eyes, what was the point of resisting?!
As for Yu Cangqiong.
He patted Lu Ran’s shoulder and said, “Go ahead and test things out. We’ll keep an eye on the surroundings.”
The purpose, of course, was to prevent other combatants from discovering Lu Ran’s abilities. Keeping Lu Ran’s capabilities under wraps was still quite important.
After speaking.
The four guild leaders each put their hoods back on and retreated in four different directions, spreading out to prevent anyone else from approaching.
The dozen or so Onmyoji looked at each other, then stared blankly at the mage holding the trident in front of them.
What was going on?
Lu Ran licked his lips, planted the trident on the ground.
He laughed and said, “You Japanese beasts, release your Shikigami! Your granddad is here to teach you a lesson!”
After saying that, he first summoned the Ancient Golem to avoid any unexpected setbacks.
But he wasn’t in a hurry to attack.
He hadn’t forgotten the main objective: to test whether the Skeleton Throne’s attribute could control the Dark-type Shikigami of the Onmyoji!
