Chapter 1431: Chapter 1330: Downfall or New Beginning?
As the Phoenix Feather disappeared with a flash of light, the youths of the Supernova Team were stunned: "Suicide? That’s too boring!"
"No equipment at all? For someone with a red name who was exploded, all his equipment should have been exposed!"
"I heard he was once exposed by Da Fei, and then stayed in the Red Name Village without going out to get any equipment. He relied on his Barrier Skill to PK."
"I really want to know where he will resurrect now. Ultimate Prison? Or still the Red Name Village?"
Tommy waved his hand: "There’s no need to discuss a defeated amateur player whose loss is equivalent to deleting his account. Let’s get back to our posts. Eli, record the kill video, send it to the development team for some processing to hide our weapon data, and then send it to the Japanese to advertise and hit Chinese players’ morale."
"Got it."
...
——System Prompt: You have fallen into the Red Sea (Note: Current scene not open, you cannot trigger related plot).
At this time, Phoenix Feather’s vision was filled with red, and his mind was numb.
Phoenix Feather was already mentally prepared for abandoning the account. If this account really ended, would he completely quit the game? Or start over from scratch with a new account? Phoenix Feather didn’t think much, nor had the energy to think, numbly waiting for the final judgment.
After being numb for a while, the faint sound of waves reached his ears.
Only after a while did Phoenix Feather regain his senses and look around, only to find himself on a lonely island in a blood-red sea. No NPC, no judgment message prompt. The only system prompt is that the current scene is not open?
"What’s going on?" Phoenix Feather hurriedly checked the official game website for information on the "Red Sea" but found nothing.
As an expert who discovered PK subtlety during public testing, Phoenix Feather vaguely realized that he wasn’t completely done playing yet. Since the official website had no information, he would search other websites for any info related to the Red Sea. After all, many game references are taken from mythological stories; there should be some clues.
Quickly, the general introduction of the Red Sea was found, beside the Arabian Peninsula, at the beginning of the Suez Canal, ignore.
Then came the interesting part. The Dead Sea Scrolls mention the Red Sea, where a very famous mythological figure Lilith perished. Regarding Lilith’s identity, it’s said she was the first woman made from clay by God before Eve, the first wife of mankind’s ancestor Adam. Some say Lilith was the oldest angel, and the first to betray God, even earlier than Lucifer. There’s a third theory that Lilith herself was a female deity.
But regardless of the version, Phoenix Feather could confirm that this Red Sea in the game is the one mentioned in the scrolls. Since the Red Sea is related to Lilith, following the usual game adaptation logic, this might be Lilith’s "Divine Tomb" or a place that seals Lilith.
With clues, Phoenix Feather felt like a person finding life within despair and began feverishly researching Lilith’s information. The mythological concept of the Red Sea became more complete: Red Sea, Sea of Blood, the sea that birthed life, but must constantly be replenished with blood. Then, Kabala’s Book of Radiance mentions Lilith relentlessly slaughtering babies and sacrificing them to the Red Sea. The ancient Jews would engrave the names of three angels ordered by God to hunt Lilith, Snvi, Snsvi, Smnglof, into cribs as protective symbols against her, though sometimes not very effective.
Having gathered most of Lilith’s stories, Phoenix Feather began analyzing based on his current situation.
Currently, Phoenix Feather is in an unopened scene, and there are only two possibilities for such a situation: One, due to a bug, ending up in an unfinished game map. However, Heroic Creation Era has a completely intelligent console with creation rules. An unfinished game is like a newborn with missing parts, which is totally impossible.
So only the second possibility remains: considering how the National War Zone server is still not open, he can only appear on this unopened National War Zone server. However, the host room of the National War Zone server probably doesn’t even have the power plug connected; how could he have reached there?
Red Name Village!
Red Name Village is known as a mini National War Zone, meaning the current scene is actually Red Name Village! Analyzing logically, after death, there’s a high possibility of arriving at Red Name Village. It turns out that the connotation of this Red Name Village surpasses expectations! So, is this the ultimate prison where a single step is hard to make, or is it a new starting point? Perhaps the answer will be revealed when the National War server officially opens.
But Phoenix Feather couldn’t wait until then. Phoenix decided to create a new account—no, directly buy an account from the forum and start searching for clues from outside Red Name Village.
Thinking this, Phoenix Feather immediately gathered his spirit and opened the gold trading site to find suitable trade partners.
...
Meanwhile, a video titled "Phoenix Feather’s Last Few Seconds" released in the Japan Zone shook the China Region and shocked the world. Perhaps to increase the dramatic contrast, Phoenix Feather’s previous clips of godly rampage were mixed with the final clip of him rushing to his death.
Then, leisurely busy Da Fei also received messages from Bu Feiyan and Bloodrose Qiqi: "Brother Fei, Phoenix Feather was taken down by the Japan Zone’s experts. Brother Fei, you must be careful."
Da Fei was taken aback: "Got taken down? Such a big red name?"
Bu Feiyan said heavily: "Yes, such a big red name, and during the National War, with multiplied penalties for red names. Once dead, theoretically, it’s impossible to clear your name through normal game rules."
Bloodrose Qiqi sighed: "Anyway, no one saw him in Red Name Village, he probably went to the legendary Ultimate Prison, which is equivalent to a permanent ban, right?"
Bu Feiyan sighed: "So Brother Fei, if you feel even a bit uneasy, please tell us. We’ll do our best to help, just don’t be left alone. Although you’re not a red name, in the eyes of the Japanese players in the Hell Camp, you’re also a big red name."
Permanent ban? That’s tragic! Da Fei gloatingly but also empathetically felt sorry for his peers. However, this is something you guys can’t help with at all! Da Fei could only sigh and say: "Thank you all for your kindness, I will be careful."
Bloodrose Qiqi added: "By the way, Brother Fei, there are suddenly quite a few players from the European Union Zone in Red Name Village, it seems like the European Union is planning something big there."
European Union? Something big? Welcome! Da Fei laughed: "Understood."
"Well then, take care, Brother Fei!"
After ending the conversation, Da Fei started watching the video sent by Bu Feiyan. The beginning showed the Phoenix Feather slaughtering everything, accompanied by exhilarating music. Da Fei directly dragged the video to the end, where the music turned humorous and playful. The Phoenix Feather was hiding behind a rock under the light, getting shot in the head when hiding its butt, and shot in the butt when hiding its head. This scene was repeatedly replayed at a fast pace to the rhythm of comedic music, highlighting the comedic effect using the most popular video trolling technique.
But Da Fei couldn’t laugh at all. Although Da Fei wasn’t fond of Phoenix Feather and hoped this joker would quit the game permanently, it should have been handled by him, not for you Japanese to mock and whip the corpse for fun. Da Fei could already imagine that if he were taken down, who knows if the Japanese would invite world-class video masters to ridicule him.
Fine, Phoenix Feather of Heaven, rest in peace, I will avenge you.
As Da Fei was contemplating, a cluster of green dots appeared on the radar, and Anlicia’s voice rang out: "Lord City Lord, Savara and the others are back, and Elena’s troops are gathering below the cave!"
Oh yeah! They came back safe and sound! Da Fei was delighted: "I will personally go outside to greet Elena, you all continue to stay busy inside the cave!"
Thus, Da Fei excitedly rushed to the cave entrance. At the edge of the Mushroom Forest at the bottom of the cave were Elena’s dense Jungle Hunter Druid Army and Savara’s Jade Dragon troops. Seeing Da Fei appear, they waved from afar below.
——System Prompt: Your independently embarked team heroes Savara, Daelir, and your vice hero Alina have joined your team!
Da Fei laughed heartily, executing a Spiderman leap to the ground and excitedly said: "Finally back, I was worried to death!"
Elena laughed and sighed: "My lord, I was anxious too. I thought it was just some underground monsters attracted by the battlefield blood, but didn’t expect enemy heroes to appear and try to launch a surprise attack from behind the underground monsters. In such unfavorable circumstances, I began to regret my overconfidence. I was even thinking, if I lost, how I could face you again."
Da Fei’s heart tightened, not being able to face him would mean becoming one of those Wandering Heroes, wouldn’t it? This is a classic case of plummeting loyalty!
Da Fei hurriedly grasped Elena’s hand: "That’s nonsense; no matter what huge issue you encounter, always come back to me! I trusted you with an independent expedition, so I will never blame you!"
Elena smiled: "Yes, my lord! Fortunately, I realized the situation in time and abandoned the guarded minecart to retreat. The enemy hero, after acquiring the minecart, slowed down in marching speed. We then leveraged our mobility, continuously harassing them, and the minecart became a burden for the enemy instead. However, the enemy hero’s Hellhound did pose significant damage to the ancient trees, but luckily, Miss Tamilia arrived in time to help repel the enemy, otherwise, I’d have to watch helplessly as the enemy took the minecart."
Really? Da Fei exclaimed excitedly: "So did you gain the War Insights from the book through this battle?"
Elena laughed: "Not just from the book; underground guerrilla warfare has always been a specialty of the Dark Elves. I must admit, it had been quite a while since I last fought, and I’ve indeed become quite rusty."
Savara laughed: "My lord, that book sounds so good, I’d like to read it too!"
Daelir also said: "Yes, Miss Elena’s progress is enviable, I’d love to learn as well."
Da Fei laughed heartily: "Alright, everyone can read it, we’ll rest and read after we return to the ship."
At this moment, a prompt appeared:
——System Prompt: The cooldown time for your Luck Skill sub-skill "Lucky Hand" has ended.
Da Fei’s brow twitched, finally, he made it through the day, great! Time to handle the important task of gathering mushroom seeds! (To be continued.
