“Wooooo——”
The majestic sound of the horn echoed over the investigation base.
The busy NPCs stopped what they were doing and looked towards the watchtower.
He was also worried that too many players joining would affect their chances of obtaining the title of [Honorary Player].
But after a brief hesitation, he told his teammates and went to the watchtower of the investigation base to blow the horn.
The NPCs reacted quickly, and many ran over to gather, carrying weapons.
But Fireblade didn't count on them at all.
He was expecting other helpers.
—
“Wooooo——”
This majestic horn sound not only echoed over Fireblade's own investigation base, but also in the worlds of individual players who were online at this time.
Evening is always the peak time for 《Monster Hunter》 players to be online.
Even though a large number of players were searching the world for magic frogs, there were still quite a few players in the investigation base.
Chen Zhi, Li Liangcai, Big Red Persimmon, Lenny from Boogie Island…
One player after another simultaneously heard the long horn sound.
A transparent system prompt window also appeared in front of them:
[The Gate of Worlds has been opened, and the Ice Tide of the End is invading the entire world!]
[The Wild Hunt Legion has formed an alliance with the King of the Frozen Earth. The survival of humans and dragons depends on this battle!]
[The Horn of Gathering has been blown!]
[Do you want to answer the call and join this glorious defense war?]
(Limited-time S-level recruitment mission has been activated!)
(Based on battlefield contribution, you can obtain first-clear achievements, limited titles, armor transmogrification, exclusive weapons, and rare materials and other valuable rewards!)
—
What World Gate, Wild Hunt Legion, King of the Frozen Earth…
No one had ever heard of them.
Suddenly seeing such a limited-time S-level recruitment mission, everyone was confused.
But seeing the series of rewards such as first-clear achievements, limited titles, armor transmogrification, and exclusive weapons, these questions were no longer important!
Just tell me where to go and who to fight!
I guarantee I'll do it perfectly!
[Lenny from Boogie Island], a small streamer whose live broadcast room used to only have a dozen people, accidentally gained some exposure after performing a "Flawless Speed Kill" by dodging all of the boxing king's flashy feints with his wild Wang Eight Fists.
Although all the attention was on the boxing king, he only managed to get a little bit of it.
But by quickly transforming and jumping onto the big ship of Zhuyun, he can now have three to five hundred people in his live broadcast room under normal circumstances.
Making big money is unrealistic, but surviving in a tier 18 city and continuing his streamer dream is barely enough.
Now seeing this unexpectedly popping up task, he quickly put on his best equipment, took his highest-level weapon, and responded to this call.
After a brief loading screen, he still appeared in the investigation base.
But it was no longer his own investigation base.
It seemed that there had just been a serious disaster here, with houses collapsing and wooden buildings catching fire.
The once open and somewhat empty area was now constantly flashing with streaks of white light.
Each streak of light was a hunter answering the call.
Everyone knew very little about this sudden mission.
But regardless of whether it was Lenny from Boogie Island or other hunters, no one discussed or asked questions loudly.
Because as soon as they looked up, they could see that the sky over the Wyvern Woods had turned into two distinct colors—
The west side was scorched red by the prairie fire, and the east side was frozen into a clear ice blue by the biting frost.
Under the red and ice-blue sky, giant beasts of astonishing size were fighting in pairs!
The Diablos, Kushala Daora, and Glavenus on the ground charged wildly.
Fighter jets flew around overhead, and meteorites fell down with a bang.
The entire base was shaking from the impact, making everyone's vision shake as well.
“What the hell???”
Lenny from Boogie Island was shocked.
“I did say just tell me where to go and who to fight, but…”
“Fight this?”
Many players in the city had similar ideas to him, and were obviously a little confused by this grand scene.
But there were also people whose reactions were completely the opposite—
“The rewards are tied to battlefield contribution, and battlefield contribution is the number of enemies killed, right?”
“Got it, it's about who kills the fastest and the most, right?”
“Very good, I, the Long Sword Master, have never been afraid of anyone when it comes to output?!”
“Charge, charge, let's start killing!”
…
Without any command, a group of people spontaneously left the crowded crowd, rushed out of the city gate, and charged towards the tide of elemental creatures.
They even used Wirebugs and the terrain to bypass the mobs and head towards the fighting dragons!
Fireblade's position had been taken over by an NPC.
He himself was taken back to the front line by Ciri due to the sudden incident—
The Iceborne Wyvern and the Wild Hunt King Eredin had joined the battlefield!
The otherworldly frost combined with the power of the Elder Dragon to create an incredible change.
Conventional dragons, and even Elder Dragons, could not resist the combined force of the two.
Even the meteorites falling from the sky were frozen by this extreme cold.
The Lavasioth, this "living volcano", could not resist the Iceborne Wyvern's deadly breath at this time—the lava on its surface was getting darker and darker, slowly turning from a dazzling bright yellow to dark red, almost extinguished by the breath.
But at the critical moment, the Serpent King Dragon suddenly窜了出来!
No one expected that this behemoth, which looked like a mountain range when lying on the ground, could actually jump completely off the ground!
— Only then did Fire Knife and his teammates understand why Zhùmèng designed the scene of the 'Serpent King Dragon attacking the airship' at the beginning!
This was to tell the players: the Serpent King Dragon can attack aerial units!
Incredible power sent the Serpent King Dragon's body into the sky, entangling the Ice-Wreathed Dragon that was breathing ice in the sky!
Pale white light lit up again!
Under the scorching heat, the azure blue ice on the Ice-Wreathed Dragon's body finally melted.
Before it could turn into flowing water, it quickly vaporized, rising into scorching steam.
A large amount of water vapor even obscured the massive bodies of both sides.
The Serpent King Dragon seized the opportunity and bit at the Ice-Wreathed Dragon's nape!
But the evil otherworldly language sounded again, and the Ice-Wreathed Dragon also stopped breathing ice, instead summoning the power of frost.
Together, they caused frost to climb onto the Ice-Wreathed Dragon's scales again, blocking this attack.
Ice and fire clashed!
The heavy water vapor rapidly cooled, actually causing a rain to fall on the battlefield.
The raindrops were evaporated or frozen before they could even reach the ground.
The Ice-Wreathed Dragon unfurled its wings and flew higher into the sky again!
The King of the Wild Hunt raised his runic sword, summoning frost and storms, cutting the battlefield around the Ice-Wreathed Dragon and the Serpent King Dragon.
Small teleportation gates opened on the Serpent King Dragon's body, and Wild Hunt Knights emerged from the teleportation gates, attacking the Serpent King Dragon's body.
The Serpent King Dragon found it difficult to fight against the combined attack of the King of the Frozen Earth and the King of the Wild Hunt, and the white light on its body gradually dimmed.
"We have to help!" the silver-haired girl said.
"How can we help? We can't even reach them!" Fire Knife was also a little anxious. "Instead of watching here, it's better to go down and help."
Fire Knife and his teammates looked towards the front of the investigation base.
There, the player army had completely replaced the investigation team's NPCs, colliding with a large number of frost elementals, frost hounds, and Wild Hunt Knights.
They were shouting and yelling as they fought, and the atmosphere was very lively.
The silver-haired girl watched the Serpent King Dragon fall into a disadvantage, and was extremely anxious.
Finally, she gritted her teeth, turned her head and said: "You can!"
Now that things have come to this, she has no other choice but to trust this team whose moral standards are questionable.
After everyone looked over, Ciri said seriously: "Hold hands! I will send you to the side of the King of the Wild Hunt!"
"If you can kill the King of the Wild Hunt and close the Gate of Worlds, the Wild Hunt Legion will lose its reinforcements and be without a leader!"
"Only then will there be hope of defeating them!"
"Even if you can't kill Eredin, you can interfere with him, preventing him from launching attacks against that giant dragon!"
Fire Knife was very surprised: "You can teleport 16 people at once?"
"I… I couldn't before." Little Ciri said honestly, "But now that the Gate of Worlds has been opened, the space here is very unstable, I can try."
"Then let's go!"
Players, such creatures, are only afraid of not having a fight, and don't care at all what will happen if the teleportation fails and they are thrown into the void.
The sixteen people deftly held hands.
Finally, Ciri put her hands on Fire Knife's arms, watching the two giant dragons fighting fiercely in the center of the ice storm, and a white light also appeared on her body.
Different from the Serpent King Dragon's pale white light.
The white light that appeared on Ciri's body was soft and bright, as if a silver river was flowing in the void, only revealing some traces when it passed through Ciri.
Blood flowed from Ciri's nostrils without warning.
A dazzling silver light suddenly erupted!
Even players far away at the investigation base could see it clearly.
Fire Knife had a strange feeling.
It was as if he had thrown himself into a slowly flowing river, and the water gently brushed his body.
Everything seemed very slow, and yet it seemed to send him very far away in an instant.
After that, they crashed into a wall.
He heard Ciri's painful cry, and the sound of ice breaking.
Then, he found that he was already standing on an iceberg.
【King of the Wild Hunt】Eredin immediately discovered these uninvited guests and pointed the glowing runic sword at them.
"Look who's here."
"Have you finally given up struggling and accepted your fate?"
In the eyes of the King of the Wild Hunt, there were no players at all, only that silver-haired girl.
Fire Knife looked at Ciri and realized that there seemed to be a problem with the teleportation just now. Not only was this girl having a nosebleed, but blood was flowing from her forehead, ear holes, and corners of her mouth!
But she faced the Wild Hunt without fear: "Indeed, there is a person's fate that will end today, end here!"
"But that person is not me."
"It's you!"
Fire Knife stood in front of Ciri, drew the greatsword on his back, "That's right, today is your death day!"
The King of the Wild Hunt smiled contemptuously: "Ants!"
"Her blood, her power, her destiny, all belong to the Wild Hunt!"
"And you, you can't even save yourselves, you will only turn to ashes together with your world!"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The Tachi Swordsman didn't want to listen to the BOSS's nonsense at all, and rushed up with a thrust!
"F*ck your mother!" The Dual Swordsman followed closely behind!
"Hahaha, my hands have been itching for a long time, after delaying for so long, I can finally start fighting!"
"Looking like that, talking so much nonsense! Die for me!"
… …
The teammates were all game experts, they usually treat no-damage high-difficulty BOSS as a daily routine, how could they stand a BOSS acting tough in front of them?
Ants?
Then let you see who is the ant!
