Chapter 123 - Cross Fire and Long Tongue Bat’s Deal
Chapter 123: Cross Fire and Long Tongue Bat’s Deal
Lake of Death.
The distribution of monsters here was very complicated, there were monsters from Level 30 to Level 100.
Due to the lack of obvious divisions in the monster region, Lorne had to be extremely careful. He had to try not to approach the core region of the Lake of Death, or even the edge of the lake.
Lorne followed the instructions of the dragon soul and began exploring the northwest.
The pets were all separated and were responsible for guarding against the surrounding situation.
As a flying unit, the long tongue bat had a critical role in this unknown forest.
It was also because of its warning that Lorne arrived safely.
“This place is really dangerous!”
With the information of the long tongue bat, Lorne circled the valley ahead.
Perhaps because the battle between the dragon “Walter” and the undead bone dragon was happening in this area, the undead power here was stronger. Naturally, the monsters they encountered would be very terrifying.
But such risks did not affect Lorne’s confidence.
In his eyes, the higher the difficulty of the mission, the greater the reward.
Moreover, he was also filled with anticipation for the dragon, “Walter”.
As an existence that could command the army of dragons, his corpse was definitely more valuable. Moreover, it was very likely that the other dragons would die near him.
If Lorne could find him, he would definitely be able to obtain countless dragon skeletons and rewards.

Ding!

Walking through the forest around the Lake of Death, Lorne found a large number of corpses.
However, the strange thing was that there did not seem to be any low-level warrior skeletons here. At the very least, since entering this area, Lorne had not found an ordinary warrior skeleton here.
He gathered all the skeletons he had encountered.
This was an event mission. It could be exchanged for a large amount of reputation points.
Moreover, they were all high-quality corpses. He believed that when he submitted the mission in the end, he would definitely obtain a huge reward.
Unfortunately, there was no movement from the Dragon Compass all along the way, and this meant that they didn’t encounter any dragon corpses on the way.
…
At the same time, in the forest near the [Expeditionary Army Camp], this place was filled with countless players.
Cross Fire of the World Destruction Guild appeared here again.
A few days ago, he had been sent back to Iron Skull City by Lorne with a bow and arrow.
Originally, he needed three days to come here, but because of the experience summarized by countless players, he finally obtained a safer shortcut.
Any player who set off from this path only needed to spend about two days to reach the expeditionary army camp.
This was how the Cross Fire arrived.
“Damn it, that brat Tyrant made me spend more than two days to return here. If I find out where he is, I will definitely find someone to cut him into mincemeat!”
Cross Fire walked angrily in the forest.
This could not be blamed on his fiery temper. This fellow was too detestable.
It had been five days since the ten-day event began, but as one of the Deputy Guild Leaders of the World Destruction Guild, he had only “just arrived” at this place.
In order to reach this place as soon as possible, he did not sleep for 48 hours. Because of that, he arrived here today.
“Brother Cross Fire, go and rest first.”
“Boss, you haven’t rested for two days and two nights. If you continue, you will die of exhaustion!”
“That’s right, Boss. Even if you don’t die suddenly, you will definitely have kidney deficiency!”
The surrounding lackeys advised.
They were really worried about Cross Fire’s body.
Although the game did not require the body to move in reality, it consumed a lot of energy.
Under normal circumstances, if a player played the game for 24 hours, the mental effect would be too great, causing headaches in reality.
This situation was not due to the game, but because humans would experience fatigue during brain activity, just like how the computer’s mainframe was heating up during high-intensity operations.
“Alright, since all of you say so, I’ll go to sleep first and clear the forest with you in the morning!”
Cross Fire nodded and prepared to go offline to rest.
He had not rested for two days and two nights. Now, he indeed felt a headache. If he continued to engage in high-intensity battles and increased the burden on his mind, he might really die on the spot.
But at that moment, a very strange-looking bat landed on the tree trunk above them.
This was one of the long tongue bats that Lorne had let go.
The players of the World Destruction Guild, who had never seen such a monster, were shocked. Just as they were about to draw their bows and kill the long tongue bat monster, it flapped its wings and wandered around the surrounding forest.
Finally, it landed on the tree again. The long tongue bat looked at everyone and giggled, “Hey, aren’t these the young adventurers of Iron Skull City?”
“Oh, you’re so weak.”
“You who grew up under the protection of the main city are no match for those people.”
“But it doesn’t matter. Give me five gold coins and I’ll tell you the information!”
The long tongue bat spoke in human language, which attracted Cross Fire’s attention.
In the game world, most monsters that could communicate were likely special NPCs.
As an experienced player, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?
He put away the saber in his hand and took out a bag of gold coins.
“Oh, what a generous human adventurer. Your image is as fascinating as your wealth.”
The long tongue bat separated a small bat and took the gold coins. After counting, there were exactly five.
Then, it looked at Cross Fire again, “Young human adventurers, quickly leave this place. There is a group of people rushing here. They are much stronger than you.”
“What do you mean?” Cross Fire could not understand.
“Oh, young human adventurer, you know I like gold coins. If you want to know more information, you can try to give me some gold coins, such as ten perhaps?”
