248: Westerners were shocked

It was dusk.

This was also the time when most online games launched their new seasons.

Da Quan Knight was initially able to see the sun.

At this time, the sun, a colossal red wheel, slowly descended to rest on the distant mountains.

The layers of mountain peaks were instantly dyed purplish-brown, seemingly merging with the horizon.

The ripples in the river and the clouds in the sky were all stained blood-red by the afterglow of the setting sun.

All other vibrant colors transformed into the evening's glow under this sunset radiance.

And just then, deep darkness suddenly appeared.

It was as if the sunset animation was abruptly paused, and then the night scene instantly covered everything.

It was a very dark night; no stars were visible, no moon, and even the faint light that night should possess had vanished.

Without spiritual sense, one's vision was stripped away by this night; nothing could be seen.

The thought of fear began to spread.

Da Quan Knight's heart pounded, and his legs trembled incessantly.

But this night came as abruptly as it left.

It quickly disappeared, and the afterglow of the sunset reappeared.

“This… this…”

Da Quan Knight gazed at the giant Eagle Yao gradually receding into the sky, his mind buzzing blankly, unable to think or speak.

The immense shock left him almost incapable of thought; everything was hazy, terrified, and unsettling.

He drooped his dog ears, slumped to the ground, and stared blankly at the sky.

At this moment, the idiom “covering the sky and blocking out the sun” had materialized.

“What… what was that thing?”

Da Quan Knight was bewildered and at a loss.

The audience in the live stream was also full of questions.

“Holy crap, what was that just now?!”

“Something seemed to have passed by?”

“Did you guys see it just now? The entire screen went dark, meaning the sunlight was completely blocked.”

“If that’s the case, just how big was that Eagle Yao in the sky?”

“Is… is this Xuanhuan?”

Everyone in Western Country was shocked, staring dumbfounded at the screen.

This terrifying imagination and extreme expressive power shocked everyone, leaving them at a loss.

Even Da Quan Knight was sprawled on the ground, unsure of what to do next.

If it were a normal game, throwing a few enemies at the start and introducing the combat mode, he could understand.

But at the very beginning, he witnessed a giant Dog Demon capable of causing earthquakes.

Then came the sky-obscuring, sun-blocking giant Eagle Yao that could turn day into night.

This brought a terrifying impact to Da Quan Knight.

And it also left him at a loss.

How could such powerful creatures be dealt with?

How could they be resolved?

Could players truly enjoy playing in such a world?

In his stunned state, Da Quan Knight remained dazed for a long time.

Suddenly.

A flash of light exploded in the sky.

A small Flying Sword shot from the south, a layer of red Qi surging around it, instantly dyeing the sky a deep fiery red.

Then, the Eagle Yao let out an unbearable shriek.

The Flying Sword struck its wing, and scorching flames began to spread; the Eagle Yao shrieked unwillingly.

Then, Da Quan Knight saw the Eagle Yao fall from the sky, crashing directly onto the ground.

What followed was an earthquake; from the distant mountains to the nearby small river, everything shook, everything rolled.

Rocks constantly cracked and tumbled, and even the solid ground developed fissures.

The fall of the Eagle Yao was like the sky collapsing.

Da Quan Knight stared at the sky in astonishment, wondering who could have shot down such a Yao Beast.

Then, a figure in red appeared, treading through the air.

The person was burly and well-proportioned, with a chiseled jawline, a high nose bridge, and bright eyes beneath two sword-like eyebrows.

One could see a fierce aura about him, unlike that of ordinary Cultivators, with flames swirling around him; though not an exotic flame, it was an extremely powerful beast fire, of no low grade.

This was Huode Loose Cultivator from the Western Great Desert, powerful and possessing many methods against Demonic Beasts, Yao Beasts, and even the Yao Race.

That Flying Sword just now looked very light and simple, just an ordinary flaming Flying Sword.

But in reality, it incorporated his spell Divine Ability; once it hit, the beast fire would seep into the bone marrow, constantly eroding, and even punishing the Soul.

In the Cultivation World, it’s not about who is bigger, but who has the advantage.

Sometimes, a huge physique can make one a living target, susceptible to wanton attacks.

“Is… is this a Cultivator?”

Da Quan Knight looked at the dashing red-robed Cultivator in the sky, a sense of confusion and regret rising within him.

“Perhaps I shouldn’t have chosen the Yao Race?”

“This Human Race Cultivator… why does he feel more powerful?”

In a short time, Da Quan Knight’s worldview was constantly challenged.

He was quite bewildered and at a loss.

The audience in the live stream was also dumbfounded, all feeling as if Cultivators were stronger?

Just then, the Eagle Yao, which had been shot down, suddenly soared into the sky again.

Its giant wings once again covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

Countless feathers gathered, like sharp arrows, forming a massive, sharp crossbow bolt, fiercely stabbing towards the Cultivator.

Immediately, a great battle began.

This level of battle was completely beyond Da Quan Knight's intervention.

He was like someone who had stumbled into a third-rate Xuanhuan novel, unable to do anything at the start, only able to watch other powerhouses display their strength.

In such a situation, readers would usually just click away, as there was no sense of immersion.

Da Quan Knight was no different.

After the shock, a sense of bewilderment rose in his heart, followed by helplessness, unsure of what to play next.

Faction war?

Are you kidding? Join such a battle?

“Everyone, what should I… do now?”

“There’s no damn beginner’s tutorial!”

Da Quan Knight didn’t know what to do, didn't know what to play.

At this moment, an audience member in the live stream sent a barrage of comments:

“Don’t panic, streamer, we’ll go to the forums to find a tutorial for you.”

“It seems like the Chinese side has released quite a few tutorials; I’ll translate them for you.”

“Streamer, I recommend you watch the beginner’s guide video, it introduces the new season’s gameplay.”

“Faction war isn’t as intense as you think, streamer. The top Golden Core powerhouses fight and restrain each other; if you’re not Golden Core, just consider it background.”

“As new players, we should quickly find a nearby town, preferably an important main city, where someone will guide us.”

Da Quan Knight read the comments, looked around, and walked north.

It wasn’t until dusk deepened into complete night that he saw a Yao Race city.

“Damn it, why is the map in the Xuanhuan World designed to be so big?”

“This is completely unreasonable!”

Da Quan Knight grumbled.

However, the comments in the live stream did not echo his sentiment but instead explained to him:

“Your speed will also increase once your Cultivation is higher.”

“And once your Cultivation is even higher, you’ll be able to fly through the air, and then you won’t think the map is too big.”

“Even if you can’t fly, you can use methods like shuttle immortal boats or teleportation arrays to move around.”

Da Quan Knight didn’t dare to argue with the audience.

He also realized that at his current Mortal Realm, he could basically do nothing.

It seemed he had to find the main city and then embark on the path of Cultivation.
