182: Are there more experts?

"May I ask, what is your name?"

The soldier turned his head to look at Xu Shian, then scrutinized him from head to toe.

"Wei Zhaohang, Vice General of the Northern Garrison!"

Xu Shian raised an eyebrow, not expecting to encounter an official...

Because the bureaucratic system was currently in a dormant period, Xu Shian didn't know how high-ranking this Vice General position actually was.

But considering he was, after all, a general guarding the frontier, and still out on patrol at this hour.

Xu Shian felt quite impressed, chuckled, and then clasped his hands in a salute.

"General Wei!"

Wei Zhaohang returned the salute to Xu Shian!

"Your batch of players arrived a bit late..."

In Wei Zhaohang's view, the first batch of players should have been arriving one after another ten days ago.

It made it so he couldn't even recruit players for patrols now!

Xu Shian smiled; this was indeed his fault, as he had stirred up the ambition of many players.

"They are all still racking their brains preparing for the 【Bronze Trial】..."

"The 【Bronze Trial】?"

Wei Zhaohang found it hard to accept for a moment.

Are the players of this generation this arrogant? Everyone wants to reach the Bronze Level right off the bat? Do you know what standard the Bronze Level represents?

That is for supreme geniuses... only people like him, Wei Zhaohang, deserve such treatment...

For all players in this batch to want to pass the Bronze Trial was a bit presumptuous.

"Yes, the Bronze Trial!"

Wei Zhaohang: ...

Seeing that he was quite easy to talk to, Xu Shian couldn't help but want to inquire about some internal NPC information.

"General Wei, our guild is stationed in Qixia Town in Yun Province. Why is it that, apart from the owners of various shops and the commoner class, we don't see many important aboriginal figures there?"

Wei Zhaohang snorted disdainfully.

"What other reason could there be? Scared out of their wits by the Demon race, most of the wealthy and powerful have gone to Changan City to huddle together for warmth!"

Xu Shian didn't quite understand when this was mentioned.

"Isn't it said that this space-time convergence only happens every many years? It just happened seven months ago, right? Furthermore... I heard that Changan City was the one raided back then?"

"I am just a small Vice General of the Frost Wolf Army's Northern Garrison; how could I know so many secrets? But never treat others as fools. Their heritage is orderly and their family learning is profound, not something a small fry like me can compare to. They probably know things that bottom-feeders like us don't..."

"General Wei considers himself a bottom-feeder?"

Wei Zhaohang smiled.

"It depends on who you compare me with..."

The two were silent for a while.

"Alright, since you have the confidence to cross the border, then go ahead... but I must warn you!"

Xu Shian just prepared to step out, but then pulled his leg back.

"Please tell me, I am listening attentively!"

"The Rakshasa Empire's heart to destroy us never dies; for five hundred years, they have been the number one enemy of our East Dragon Empire! I don't know if you have been to other countries in Yun Province, but the Rakshasa Empire is different. When our people go there, the initial reputation value is 【Hostile】..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shian couldn't help but feel a toothache.

"So... our two countries are natural enemies?"

"That's right!"

"Additionally, even if your reputation reaches Friendly, as long as you have the face of an East Dragon Empire citizen, the other side will automatically treat you as an enemy. Be extremely careful..."

Xu Shian sighed inwardly.

With you saying that, I even want to head back home!

Xu Shian bid farewell to Wei Zhaohang and still decided to go take a look!

Since it is a natural enemy nation, it is even more necessary to know yourself and your enemy, and even more necessary to weaken them.

When crossing the border line, the 【demon passport】 in his backpack emitted bursts of purple-red light as usual, dispelling the force that was preventing Xu Shian from leaving the country.

Stepping out of the Lin Province boundary, he only felt the temperature drop suddenly by about ten degrees.

The so-called buffer zone outside was full of pitted and bumpy ground everywhere.

In some places, even the soil was blood-red!

Xu Shian was wearing a full set of leather armor.

The advantage of equipment lies in its ability to maximize the regulation of hot and cold sensations.

Of course, this is within a reasonable range.

In an environment of tens of degrees below zero, the adjustment effect of this set of equipment would be greatly discounted.

After putting on the diamond grade shoes, Xu Shian's current movement speed is 15 meters per second.

After putting on the 【bamboo dragonfly】, the flight speed increased to 320%, which is 172 kilometers per hour.

This flight speed was quite impressive!

Although the buffer zone and isolation belt between the two countries were only 200 kilometers apart.

But Xu Shian still flew for nearly three hours on this journey!

Mainly because both sides had closed their borders and ceased fighting for half a year, the number of wild mobs here was ridiculously high!

Xu Shian had to fly close to the ground, and when he saw too many wild mobs being aggroed, he would land and use 【Vanish】 to drop combat!

Because the wild mobs here were of a relatively high level, Xu Shian specifically spent 315 years of extra lifespan to upgrade the 【Vanish】 skill to Dark Gold Grade!

Incidentally, he spent 620 years of extra lifespan to upgrade 【Stealth】 to epic-tier!

After all, when he heard that this Rakshasa Country was a long-term enemy of his side, Xu Shian decided that he had to level up his life-saving skills.

This 'life-saving' was not only to save his own life, but also to save the lives of the other side...

One NPC head was worth 1000 reputation points.

For Xu Shian, strength was not the obstacle to killing people; reputation was!

If he killed a few casually, the idea of going to the Rakshasa Empire to farm would be dead on arrival!

On the other hand.

For Xu Shian, he would rather not fight these wild mobs outside if possible!

After realizing that leveling up would affect his ability to obtain more free stat points, Xu Shian clearly knew that fighting too many wild mobs would delay him from getting free stat points.

So he basically just dragged the chasing groups of wild mobs and ran, trying his best to run until he dropped combat!

If they really kept chasing and he couldn't shake them off, he would run a bit further and then land and 【Vanish】!

Just like that, a journey that should have taken a little over an hour ended up taking Xu Shian over three hours.

Fortunately, heaven rewards those who work hard.

He finally entered the territory of the Rakshasa Empire!

The language in myriad realms online is universal; you speak your own, they speak theirs, but the main thing is that everyone can understand and read it clearly!

Otherwise, the language problem between the Rakshasa Empire and the East Dragon Empire would drive everyone crazy!

All major cities had anti-Stealth devices.

Ordinary 【Stealth】 skills could not be used to Stealth inside major cities.

Xu Shian had also learned that to Stealth inside a major city, one needed the legendary advanced skills!

But currently, Xu Shian didn't know them, nor did he know where to learn these so-called advanced skills.

Fortunately, Xu Shian didn't intend to enter the city in a 【Hostile】 state...

Having cleared all the low-level Dungeons in the entire Wozhou Island and Lin Yue Country, Xu Shian had already figured out the secrets of low-level Dungeons.

Spending over two hours, Xu Shian found the two affiliated Dungeons of this city.

Xu Shian checked the time, it was 2:30 AM...

Xu Shian felt a toothache again!

Not to mention going to run a Dungeon at this hour, wouldn't taking a first clear keep the whole world awake?

But Xu Shian thought about it, exciting!

The old rule: don't do elite difficulty, because the national broadcast of this fixed-point delivery is simply a precise broadcast of his own whereabouts!

Xu Shian still wanted to fish in troubled waters!

Additionally, this time, he intended to clear it anonymously...

To play a game of "darkness under the lamp" with the players of the Bear Country!

Everyone in the world knows what kind of person I, 【Shi Chuan】, am; I have never been one to hide my identity...

【Dungeon: Abandoned Outpost · Ghost Defense Line】

(Maximum level for Dungeon rewards: Level 20)

【Please select Dungeon difficulty】

【Normal difficulty】

【elite difficulty】

【hell difficulty】

Xu Shian had already thought it through and came with a mission, so without hesitation...

【Ding, World Announcement: Congratulations to player 'Anonymous' for completing the first clear of the Level 20 Dungeon 'Underwater Temple' on hell difficulty, obtaining rich rewards. May all players continue to work hard and create more brilliance!】

【Ding, Congratulations to player...】

Three consecutive world announcements rang in everyone's ears, and also in Xu Shian's ears.

And his hand had not yet moved away from the Dungeon portal options!

Xu Shian couldn't help but mutter to himself: Another expert?
