In the dense primeval jungle, the two sides were only a dozen meters apart. Under the big trees that blocked the sky and sun, there was no vegetation. There were only fallen leaves.
Xu Fengqing stared at the two lizardmen NPCs vigilantly.
He knew that the NPCs of Starry Sky Age were very intelligent. Ah Xe had already made him feel this. However, he was still surprised when two random NPCs were so intelligent.
The fact that the game team was able to achieve this clearly showed how hard Old Lao and the others had worked.
But now wasn’t the time to think about this.
Xenos, who was held by him, grabbed his clothes tightly with his left hand. Xenos buried his face in this man’s arms and whispered, “Fengqing, run away quickly. We can’t beat them!”
The opponents not only had a strong energy, but also high-tech equipment. They had no advantage at all!
Xu Fengqing also understood this, but it wasn’t easy to escape. He might have poor fighting skills, but he knew how deadly it was to leave his back to the enemy, especially if the enemy had long-range shooting weapons.
“Who are you?”
The lizardman named Eller looked at them with a pair of tawny vertical pupils. His gaze lingered on Xenos.
Unfortunately, the black-haired man was so protective that he could only see the back of the head.
“Do you still expect them to understand the Bewatt language?”
Cole played with the gun in his hand with a bit of disdain. “No matter what, they have seen us. We can’t let them leave here!”
Eller nodded. “We can take them back. I feel like they will be good research samples.”
The two lizardmen chatted like this. They looked at Xu Fengqing with cold and cruel eyes, but also with inexplicable determination. It was as if they were already a caged bird in their palm.
The lizardmen approached as they talked.
Xu Fengqing stared at them but didn’t move.
Xenos listened to the footsteps and nervously tightened his grip on the man’s clothes.
He was of Roland’s imperial blood. His silver hair and purple eyes were such obvious features that the hostile Bewatt lizardmen had to be aware of it.
If he was discovered, there was no way they would let him go.
But…
Xenos raised his head and looked at Xu Fengqing with determination in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, “Fengqing, I will hold them back. You run away!”
Fengqing fell into such danger in order to save him. He could no longer drag down this benefactor!
What he received in response was the man pressing down on the back of his head and pushing him back into the man’s arms.
“Calm down.”
Xu Fengqing warned in a low voice. He was still staring at the two lizardmen like he was planning something.
Xenos protested, “But…”
“Hahaha, you don’t think you can escape, do you?” The lizardmen obviously understood the Roland language. The one named Cole couldn’t help laughing when he heard their words.
It was now!
Xu Fengqing saw the opportunity and the silver-white ring on his left thumb flashed red.
[Ding~ The bloodline power has been successfully activated!]
[Bloodline activation 50%.]
[Your level has broken through to level 40, +1,000% of all attributes. The duration is 30 minutes.]
His field of view was raised and his body became bigger. Xenos went from being pressed down by him to being held in his palm.
Then Xu Fengqing controlled his body and jumped hard.
The sudden change stunned the two lizardmen. In this moment of being stunned, a huge black tail quickly filled their field of view.
“Ah—!”
There was a scream and they were whipped away by the black dragon’s tail.
Xu Fengqing left after this one blow. He held Xenos and ran deep into the jungle. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to pursue a fight but—
After these two lizardmen were blown away by him, their health bar was still full!
He wasn’t sure he could fight if he stayed, so it was better to run first.
He didn’t run in the direction he came from because he wasn’t sure whether there would be another beast wave today or not. He also didn’t dare go in the direction the lizardmen came from. The two aliens should still have accomplices.
Cole and Eller were knocked into a tree. Transparent fragments cracked on their bodies and finally fell to the ground.
The latest invisible armor they were wearing was actually shattered.
The two of them glanced at each other. Then they quickly endured the pain in their chests and chased after the black dragon.
They couldn’t let these two people run away! In particular, the black-haired man could transform into a beast. He should be an ancient species of Escher, a creature called an ‘ancient beast’ by the Roland people.
For such an ancient creature, even the corpse was very valuable for research!
The black dragon ran very fast and disappeared among the dense trees, but Cole and Eller weren’t particularly anxious.
They were very good at tracking. In addition, the black dragon ran very fast but made a lot of noise. The traces left along the way were too obvious.
Xu Fengqing was also aware of this problem, but once he deactivated the bloodline activation, he would have to wait seven days before activating it again.
He had to run further and further, leaving plenty of time to escape after he changed back to human form.
Xenos was held in his palm and felt very uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he didn’t dare tell the man to slow down. He also had to use his spiritual power to detect the surrounding environment and avoid running to a more dangerous place.
This was the first time Xenos truly saw the original appearance of this ancient beast. He had never seen any records of this race, but he vaguely knew that Fengqing…
He should be the legendary dragon!
Moreover, his strength in human form and in dragon form obviously weren’t at the same level. Just staying by his side like this made Xenos feel a trace of pressure.
Perhaps they could really escape…
Hope rekindled in Xenos’ heart and he became more serious. He didn’t dare to slack off at all.
Imperial City, inside the palace.
“Chamo, did you know… Asheng is a descendant of the elf royal family?”
Xu Sili used the mission system to finally get the elf player to speak. He hadn’t expected the answer he received.
Asheng was from the elf royal family and only she could help the elves retrieve the lost elven clan land. The elves could only activate the power of their bloodline and continue to improve their strength when baptized on the clan land.
This was also the purpose behind the elf player finding Asheng.
Now Xu Sili came over and asked him about it.
Chamo shook his head with a bit of surprise in his expression. “Asheng is a half-elf with mixed blood. It is difficult for non-elves to tell the difference.”
“Yes.” Xu Sili nodded. He didn’t call Chamo over just to talk about this.
“Now Asheng’s clan has come here and it can be confirmed that he has no ill intentions. Do you think he should be allowed to meet her?”
Blue Mark’s words were still credible. After all, the last time Blue Mark lied to Si Sheng, he was directly detected by the game system. Finally, he escaped through death.
This showed that the game system could detect lies.
Since Blue Mark could complete the mission and get the rewards, it meant he was telling the truth.
Chamo frowned in thought. He wasn’t familiar with the forest elves. If it was the sea elves, he would definitely go there without saying a word.
As for the forest elf tribe, he had been there once, but it was many years ago. It was so long ago that he couldn’t remember the way.
In addition, Asheng was of mixed blood. Even if she went to the elves, it seemed to be of little use…
Seeing that he was troubled, Xu Sili didn’t let him make a decision immediately. Instead, he gave Chamo time to go back and think it over carefully.
As for the elf player, just let him continue living in the palace’s prison. After all, he broke into the palace without permission. This crime couldn’t be forgiven without a pardon.
It was necessary to create a good atmosphere among players and let others think carefully before entering the palace.
In addition, there was the elven land. He had checked the future forum and got the specific coordinates.
However, the map showed that these coordinates were outside Roland. It was even further than the Roland border and was surrounded by high-level monsters.
It was difficult enough to deal with the interstellar beasts inside Roland. Xu Sili didn’t want to easily interfere with the affairs of other races unless necessary.
Of course, he could consider it if it was Chamo or Asheng’s request.
On the other hand, the activities launched by the game group also started to have a certain impact on the five main cities of Roland.
From an intuitive perspective, the enthusiasm of players for doing daily missions had increased significantly. There was even a scramble for them.
In addition to the daily missions, they were more active in exploring new missions in the city. This made the people of Roland, who were already accustomed to the enthusiasm of the braves, feel overwhelmed.
Due to such activities, the 100,000 new open beta players could integrate into the Roland Empire more quickly and feel the charm of Starry Sky Age more truly.
Each main city had its own rich history and every detail was amazing. As the clothing collection increased, the recorded folk stories behind the clothing gradually became known to the players.
This was probably a feast for the research party.
In addition to the clothing event, what made players excited and happy was undoubtedly—
The card master transfer mission!
The card transformation performed by His Majesty and Si Sheng had already attracted the attention of players.
In particular, Xu Sili’s video of him releasing the Imperial City teleportation circle that should’ve been thousands of kilometers away. The cumulative views on the Starry Sky Forum had already exceeded 10 million.
Many people in the forum were discussing and analyzing this skill, expressing a strong desire to learn it. Some people speculated that this was paving the way for a new profession in the future.
They just never expected that one week after the start of the service, Starry Sky Age would actually launch the card master’s profession change mission!
However, the conditions for changing professions were really difficult.
First, they had to reach Lv 40. This stumped quite a few players.
It was because as the level increased, the experience value of each subsequent level increased exponentially. The highest level player in the game was now only Lv 33.
The gap might be only seven levels but it might take at least two months for the top players to reach it, let alone newcomers who were force-fed to Lv 20.
Under this premise, the other conditions would take time to be completed slowly.
