35: Hidden Map: Ancient Battlefield of the Elves

Having obtained the dungeon ranking rewards,

with Su Yan's output damage in the tens of millions, there was no longer any need to keep grinding the Elven Tomb dungeon.

Well, it's time to change maps again.

This map change... is coming like a tornado.

But before leaving, Su Yan opened his bag and pulled out the [hidden area unlock voucher].

Without much hesitation, he used it directly!

“[hidden area unlock voucher] used successfully! Successfully unlocked the hidden map: Ancient Battlefield of the Elves!”

“Generating map...”

“Generating BOSS... Generation anomaly... Regenerating...”

“Generating rewards...”

Whoosh!

An ethereal and majestic world announcement echoed overhead:

“Player [Demon Slayer] has unlocked the Forest Kingdom's hidden map: Ancient Battlefield of the Elves!

Players can head to the ancient battlefield to explore, assist the elf clan in repelling Demonic Beasts, and obtain high experience rewards!”

...As soon as the world announcement came out.

The entire Human Race Players once again, and again, and again, could not sit still.

They had developed muscle memory for Demon Slayer's world announcements, which happened several times a day on average.

As long as there was the slightest movement in the sky above, they would instinctively raise their hands and shout, “Demon Slayer is awesome!”

“Demon Slayer is awesome!”

“I don't know how many secrets are still hidden in the Land of Divine Punishment. What's the deal with this hidden map, the Ancient Battlefield of the Elves? I feel like I've lived my life in vain until now.”

“Great, I was worried I wouldn't be able to reach Rank 200 before I die. Now that we have this ancient battlefield, it looks like I can live for a few more years.”

“Grandpa upstairs, how old are you? My dad is a funeral Great Master and provides one-stop services. Can we exchange contact info?”

“Demon Slayer is so handsome, I love Demon Slayer to death!”

The world channel was as uninhibited as ever.

Ever since Demon Slayer burst onto the scene, this had become Demon Slayer's exclusive channel.

As for this world announcement,

Su Yan was neither surprised nor overjoyed; he had guessed it long ago.

Just like the [Dungeon Eternal Seal], this [hidden area unlock voucher] was also shared by all players.

However, the announcement seemed to imply that players exploring the hidden map could only obtain experience rewards.

But he was different; he could also obtain items and attribute pill rewards.

“That's more like it. As the one who used it, my rewards should naturally be better than everyone else's.”

Su Yan was quite satisfied with the reward settings this time.

Having cleared that up,

then what was he waiting for? He'd head straight to the hidden map and finish exploring the Ancient Battlefield of the Elves.

After collecting all the rewards, he would then blast through the boundary wall and head to the next Rank 500 map... Swish!

A flash of white light appeared in front of the Elven Tomb dungeon.

Su Yan emerged from the dungeon, and as expected, a large wave of players was blocking his path.

“Look, Demon Slayer is out!”

Despite wearing a mask and hiding his appearance and ID,

the Rank 1 above his head was too dazzling. He was caught the moment he came out.

The players here in the Forest Kingdom were just as enthusiastic as those in the Novice Map.

Su Yan didn't feel impatient; he gave a simple greeting and then used a Teleportation Scroll to fly back to the City of the Forest.

According to the map's guidance,

the newly unlocked hidden map, the Ancient Battlefield of the Elves, was located to the southwest of the Forest Kingdom.

Flying back to the City of the Forest and then rushing over would be relatively much closer.

The next moment.

His consciousness lagged for a moment, and Su Yan appeared in the City of the Forest.

The sky had changed from azure blue to emerald green.

It was so green it made one feel uneasy.

Tall and magnificent buildings perfectly integrated with thousand-year-old trees, forming the City of the Forest before his eyes.

Without a moment's hesitation, Su Yan set off and walked out of the city.

Because according to the settings of Divine Punishment,

whether using a Teleportation Scroll or a Teleportation Array,

the prerequisite for use was that the destination must be a place the player had already visited.

Therefore, Su Yan could only travel on foot.

He spent the entire afternoon.

After crossing the entire Dark Forest, he finally arrived at the Ancient Battlefield of the Elves.

This place was located at the very edge of the Dark Forest, the end of the forest.

In a place that originally didn't exist,

an area shrouded in mist had actually appeared.

The mist revealed a sense of mystery and was filled with the unknown.

At this time.

A massive number of players had already gathered in front of the mist, the lowest level being Rank 100.

And those above Rank 200 were everywhere.

Clearly, they had all specially rushed over from other high-level maps.

But strangely, these players all seemed to be very afraid of the mist,

all surrounding the mist at a distance of 200 meters, with no one daring to step forward.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the mist surged.

Two disheveled figures shot out from within like cannonballs, landing in front of the players.

“Cough, cough, it still won't work. The fog inside is too thick; I can't see anything at all!”

“It's more than just thick fog. I also bumped into several patches of toxic substances; I almost died in there!”

These two were both over Rank 1000, top-tier masters of the War King Rank.

By condescending to come to the Forest Kingdom map this time, they were definitely existences that could easily crush everything.

The kind where a stomp of their feet would cause earthquakes and tsunamis.

But now, having come for the hidden map's reputation, they had thought that they could explore this Ancient Battlefield of the Elves at will.

Who would have thought that they would have just entered with an imposing Aura, only to come out so dejected.

The words of these two were full of helplessness.

When the players heard this, they immediately became very discouraged.

“It's over. If even War King Rank Masters can't explore it, wouldn't we just be going in to die?”

“But that shouldn't be right. This is a benefit released by Demon Slayer. If it can't be explored, then why release it?”

“Who knows? We've been studying it all afternoon, and still no one can get in!”

“Where's Demon Slayer? I wonder if Demon Slayer has gone in yet?”

The players discussed animatedly, all unable to make up their minds.

But even so, everyone would rather wait around here than leave.

The reason was simple.

After all, with the previous benefit [dungeon sword seal] as a model, the experience rewards for the Ancient Battlefield of the Elves this time certainly wouldn't be bad either.

Maybe they could even level up several times in a row!

With such thoughts, more and more players gathered at the Ancient Battlefield of the Elves.

The number had already exceeded ten million.

When Su Yan arrived in a hurry,

he was immediately shocked by the formation of the ten million players before him.

It gave him a new understanding of the concept of a sea of people.

“Strange, why are so many people gathered here? Don't tell me I have to queue to enter a map?”

Thinking of this, Su Yan frowned.

But soon, he learned the general idea from the players' conversations.

It turned out that this hidden map was shrouded in mist, and currently, no one could enter,

so they could only crowd outside and stare at each other.

“Mist...”

Su Yan muttered, and his eyes immediately lit up.

“Move aside, let me do it!”

Standing at the back of the sea of people, Su Yan suddenly shouted loudly.

His vigorous voice was extremely penetrating, ringing in the ears of every player.

When the players heard this, they all turned around, and ten million pairs of eyes looked at Su Yan together.

Someone instinctively wanted to mock him,

“Give it a rest, even War King Rank Masters couldn't do it, who do you think you are to say 'let me do it'?”

But when they saw that the newcomer was a Rank 1 player,

their hair immediately stood on end, and they felt a surge of respect.

An excited voice erupted in everyone's heart:

Holy crap, Demon Slayer is here!
