1131 The Target
“Ha…”
Wangnet sneered and looked behind the Empire’s team as if he was searching for something.
“Found it.”
Wangnet muttered as he sensed the source of the energy fluctuation. He quickly ran forward, trying to bypass the Empire’s team.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure appeared from the Empire’s team and blocked Wangnet’s path.
Wangnet was forced to stop. His expression was grave as he looked at the face that looked like it had been carved by a knife.
One of the four great sword saints of the Empire, Rio Tinto.
Rio Tinto was already 200 years old, and his physical fitness had entered a decline in all aspects, but his swordsmanship and skills had already reached their peak.
Without further ado, Rio Tinto slashed forward!
“Ka ka ka…”
Layers of sharp spikes appeared on Wangnet’s back. The spikes rose from his back like wings and blocked his front.
“BOOM!!”
The sword radiance struck the black wing and an explosion was heard.
Wangnet was sent flying back a few meters before he could stabilize himself.
A sneer appeared on his face, as his blackthorn wings flapped behind him.
Whoosh!
He charged forward once more, with the black wings, his speed had almost doubled, and his entire right hand formed into a black spike as he pounced towards Rio Tinto!
The two were caught in an intense battle.
Wei Tao watched on in fear from the side. Once again, a strong sense of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of his heart.
A Tier 3 barbarian?
And the sword saint of the Empire?
Why did he encounter two super bosses fighting each other again?
No wonder the mission difficulty rating was SSS-level. They could not even get involved in a mission of this level!
Standing at the side, Mikhael stared at Rio Tinto, trying to remember every detail of his movements.
He was one of the strongest sword saints in the Empire, and to be able to personally witness Rio Tinto’s battle was definitely beneficial to his sword training.
The sword saint Rio Tinto was extremely powerful, and with his old body, he could take on Wangnet in a one-on-one fight.
And that Wangnet was even more terrifying!
He still had the upper hand despite being surrounded by so many negative spells from the Empire mages!
“BOOM!!!”
After another collision, Wangnet jumped back.
The sword saint Rio Tinto pointed his sword at the barbarian and said coldly, “Barbarian, I don’t care who you are. Get out of here. The Empire is not a place for barbarians.”
“Heh, I really envy your ignorance.”
Wangnet sneered and muttered to himself.
In just a short moment, his face had already condensed into a dense black crystal.
Wangnet put his hands in front of him again, slowly forming a cross.
“Ka ka ka…”
With a strange sound, slender blackthorns spread out from the surface of Wangnet’s body.
A clone made entirely out of blackthorn split out from Wangnet’s body and stood beside him.
Other than the face that was completely covered in blackthorns, the clone looked no different from the original.
In less than half a minute, eight separate clones that were condensed from the blackthorns on Wangnet’s body stood behind him respectively.
Wangnet pointed at one end of the cave and said in a deep voice, “Go!”
Whoosh!!!
The eight blackthorn clones received the command and simultaneously scuttled forward.
Rio Tinto frowned. He could sense that the speed of the blackthorn clones was also extremely fast!
Horizontal slash!
Rio Tinto waved his long sword, and a white sword energy shot toward the blackthorn clones.
In the next moment, Wangnet appeared in front of the sword qi, and the blackthorn in his hand stabbed forward.
“BOOM!!”
The sword qi exploded! The force of the blast blew in all directions.
Wangnet was blown back by the force and faced Rio Tinto.
The crystal on his face looked extremely stiff, but he still had a mocking expression on his face, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. One-on-one, don’t bully the weak, okay?”
Rio Tinto’s focus was at its maximum as he stared at his opponent, his withered hand gripping the hilt of his sword.
Wangnet was a great threat to him!
He could no longer divert his attention to deal with those clones.
The troublesome part was that the Empire’s elites would find it difficult to resist the blackthorn clones.
He had to end the battle quickly!
At the rear, the tyrannical blackthorn clones broke through the ranks of the Empire’s troops, rapidly tearing a hole in the middle, and attempting to break through to the right.
Fang Heng, who was hiding in the dark, had originally intended to watch a good show, but when he noticed the movements of the blackthorn clones, he suddenly realized that something was amiss.
What was going on?
He had initially thought that the blackthorn clones would charge into the rear of the Empire’s army and slaughter them. However, he had never expected them to suddenly charge in a single direction.
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched.
That direction didn’t seem to be towards the exit.
It was more like…
They were chasing after Tang Mingyue?
No way? Was it just a coincidence?
As he was pondering, a game prompt flashed on the trial team’s retina.
[Warning: The special item of the player’s team, an unknown stone, has been detected. The unknown stone has become the barbarian’s target.]
[Hint: The player has triggered the trial side mission-protect the unknown stone.]
Mission title: Protect the unknown stone.
Mission difficulty: S.
Mission description: You have discovered that the barbarians’ target has changed. Please protect your spoils.
Mission requirement: Protect the unknown stone for at least 5 hours and make sure it doesn’t fall into the hands of the barbarians.
Mission reward: A slight increase in trial score and the player will receive additional trial time.
What?!
What unknown stone?
What was that thing? When did he get it?
Wei Tao was still a little dazed when he saw the game notification.
When he encountered such an inexplicable thing, he instinctively turned around and looked at Fang Heng with a surprised expression.
Fang Heng immediately understood.
It was the mysterious black stone that was stolen from the Empire’s warehouse. The spiritual imprint of the Empire was originally left on the stone.
In addition to the tracking ability, the imprint could also eliminate the aura of some stones.
When he had stolen the stone, he had erased the imprint on it, which had also caused the aura of the unknown stone to leak out at an accelerated rate.
The unknown stone in the Empire’s warehouse was much larger than the two he had seen before, and the aura fluctuations were more intense.
Therefore, it was normal for the barbarians to sense it.
Fang Heng’s mind was full of thoughts.
The barbarian’s target was the stone?!
No! With such a large stone, there was a high chance that the sacred tree could reach the growth stage after absorbing it!
He couldn’t give it up!
After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Fang Heng immediately shouted, “Everyone, let’s think of a way to stop them together!”
“Okay, leave it to me.”
Mikhael gained inspiration after witnessing the sword saint Rio Tinto’s battle, and after hearing Fang Heng’s words, he responded in a deep voice, and dashed out from the side, approaching one of the blackthorn clones who was fighting with the Empire’s elite.
Whoosh!!!
The purple essence long sword in Mikhael’s hand drew a purple light in the air.
The blackthorn clone sensed the danger and raised its arms to block.
