Chapter 1080: Chapter 263: Forbidden Zone Rules_2
Velen shrugged and said, "Actually it is possible. As long as the troops you bring are numerous enough, you can just push through using human lives, because the supernatural only affects one person. When it’s playing hide and seek, it’ll only target one individual. The remaining tens of thousands can advance more quickly, clearing this forbidden zone. The slight issue is that after it kills someone, its strength rapidly increases, and its speed of pursuit and search quickens, so your troops’ levels can’t be too low, otherwise they’ll be wiped out quickly."
"Moreover, your entry time isn’t necessarily after dark; it could be during the day. No need to worry about campfires or being alone."
"As for the second rule, it’s actually easier. As long as no enemies are calling your name, your troops can use code names, like calling the command center Celestial Peak and the teams Knight Squad One, Knight Squad Two."
"Even if you can’t clear the forbidden zone, at least you can extract various valuable resources from within. As far as I know, there are countless mythical materials inside."
Mythical materials...
This piqued Lin Rui’s interest.
What interested Lin Rui even more was: "If I clear a forbidden zone, won’t I receive something like the World Tree, a mythical artifact?"
"The World Tree?" Velen pondered and said, "Such existence is not a mythical artifact, it’s more like sacred treasures of mythical level, comparable to the Elemental Keystone."
"As for whether you can obtain the World Tree... I have no answer, because historically those Divine Spirits who cleared the forbidden zones were formidable. Just seeing them once could get one killed."
"Face the ruler, intending to assassinate the king, execute. You understand?"
"What they gained, there’s no way to inquire, nor could someone like me understand."
"But things comparable to mythical miracle buildings and the World Tree must exist. If there wasn’t even that much of a gain, those super strong entities wouldn’t venture forth. Some of those super strong entities have died in the forbidden zone."
Lin Rui took a deep breath and asked, "And you are still letting me go in? How many rules does this Haunted Forest have?"
Velen shrugged and said, "That I’m not sure about. Any forbidden zone with all its rules uncovered means it’s completely controlled by someone. You’ll have to see if they can clear it."
Lin Rui frowned and asked, "Just knowing the rules means you can clear it? How do you clear it? How do you level this forbidden zone? Other places at least have some target, whether it be obtaining a key treasure, leveling a keystone building, or killing all the guarding monsters. You don’t even have a clear target for leveling the forbidden zone; what are we supposed to do when we go in?"
Velen still shook his head, saying: "I’m just a mere Prophet, not omniscient. Knowing how to level a forbidden zone is not something I’m capable of."
"As for being helpless with the forbidden zone, that’s normal. After all, it is the forbidden zone; if you could just easily understand it upon entering, would it still be called a forbidden zone? Would it be your turn to level it? Many powerful figures have historically existed. Many wise individuals died there, paving the way with their white bones. But no one knows exactly how to level a forbidden zone."
"If you want to level it, you have to have patience."
Velen did have a point; if it were so easy that just killing the monsters or occupying the buildings meant success, the forbidden zone would hardly differ from other areas.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "Forget it, we won’t enter the forbidden zone for now. This cycle, let’s explore the outskirts first; next cycle, we’ll attempt to probe the forbidden zone."
"We should first gather with the others."
Before splitting up, Lin Rui had assigned everyone their targets. He brought Violet to the Prophet Tree House, Audrey led the troops to the mine pit, Wutong went to the altar, and then they would meet in front of the temple.
When Lin Rui arrived at the temple, Wutong and Hepanse were already there, and it seemed they had been waiting for quite a while.
Lin Rui immediately moved forward with concern and asked, "How is it, are you injured?"
Wutong smiled lightly and shook her head gently, whereas Hepanse looked as if the world had collapsed, her entire being seemed broken!
Lin Rui asked in surprise, "What happened to you? Are you hurt?"
Hepanse’s eyes were dull, vacant, and she shook her head woodenly, saying, "No, I didn’t make a move, no one did."
Lin Rui understood immediately, asking: "Wutong, did you attempt to make a move?"
Wutong elegantly looked towards the giant beast guarding the temple and said, "No, it was my summoned Divine Generals. They can still exist for over twenty seconds, which is enough to kill that guardian beast. Do you need me to act?"
What a perfect ancient-style wife.
She is cold yet gentle, strong and noble yet humble and kind, giving her husband enough face when out.
Although she could solve the matter with a glance, she waited for Lin Rui to arrive, to consult with Lin Rui, and left the final decision to him.
Lin Rui didn’t think too much; he looked at the giant, ancient gray mythical giant beast thousands of meters away and said, "Then it’s up to you, lest we suffer casualties."
Wutong pointed with her right hand, and the hundreds of Golden Armored Divine Generals behind her simultaneously shot upward like flowing light.
These Divine Generals had been behind Wutong; Lin Rui already saw them when he first arrived. He thought Wutong had acquired new soldiers at the altar, not that she had summoned these Divine Generals.
[God-calling General·Holy Spirit Level Trait: Nine Heavens spirits obey commands, all deities summoned, proclaiming Divine Generals across the worlds to assist in battle and vanquish enemies. Current summonable Divine Generals: 128/128, existence time: 1600 seconds.]
This was her trait, not a skill, so there was no talk of skill levels.
It’s basically that Wutong can recruit Divine Generals as powerful as she can.
Lin Rui looked up with interest, wanting to see just how powerful the Divine Generals Wutong recruited were.
He had been curious for a long time, wondering why Wutong hadn’t picked him.
But once he looked, Lin Rui’s eyes widened and, like Hepanse, his eyes became vacant!
Golden beams shot across the sky, piercing through the mythical giant beast’s body, streaming out from it, and shooting in all directions.
The Divine Generals were so fast they left afterimages, completely ignoring the mythical giant beast’s counterattacks!
At this moment, they were the BOSS; the giant beast was merely a clumsy wild monster challenging the War God. It could rage, but it couldn’t touch these golden light Divine Generals at all.
Lin Rui finally understood why Hepanse had such a ghostly expression.
How could a single unit’s combat power be this overwhelming?
Their strength wasn’t in data but in their unparalleled battle talent; these people are born War Gods!
If they had attribute values identical to Lin Rui’s, Lin Rui would surely not be their match.
A Goddess of Fortune’s chosen one is absolutely not a match for the War God in combat capability.
This wasn’t merely a matter of being a War God’s chosen; the combat talent of each Divine General was on par with a War God.
It’s a sensation so stunning it makes the scalp tingle, unimaginable that battling could be so extraordinarily brilliant, so artistic, commanding everything so proficiently.
Even if you have higher attributes or more powerful weapons, you couldn’t cause them effective harm.
In less than five seconds, these 128 Divine Generals smashed the massive, twisted body of the monster with golden light.
With a thunderous roar, the mythical creature vanished instantly, dying without dignity, leaving only a blast fall, becoming trophies at the Empress’s feet.
