Chapter 58 Against the Tide
Imperial Tomb Mountains, north of the ancient battlefield.
"1, 2, 3... petrified."
Along with Zhou Xiao's roar, his body was quickly coated with a layer of black substance, and the sharp claws of the blood corpse also struck at this moment, hitting his shoulder and making his body sink, but it did not cause any substantial damage.
Taking advantage of the gap between the blood corpse's attacks, Zhou Xiao decisively released the petrification properties, sided to avoid the blood corpse's close attack, turned around and twisted his hips to gain strength, and hit the blood corpse's neck with a heavy punch.
"Click!"
There was a crisp sound of bones breaking, and the bloody corpse fell to the ground.
"Success!"
At this time, the blood corpse was not completely dead, but the broken neck caused the corrosive core in his brain to lose control of the lower body. He immediately seized the time to launch a storm of punches on the blood corpse's head.
After a few minutes, Zhou Xiao stopped and collapsed on the ground panting.
The blood corpse that fell to the ground also had its flesh and blood energy extracted at this time, turning into black mist and merging with his body.

Just half a day ago, he was browsing the forum and saw a strategy post. The post mentioned the unique technology of petrified ghost soul: card output.
The video is the original poster's perspective of other players' battles.
Players who choose the initial gargoyle form on the screen take advantage of the fact that their skills can be retracted and retracted at will, blocking the blood zombie's output between attacks, and successfully kill the blood zombie beyond level 4.
This video shocked Zhou Xiao.
They also chose gargoyles, but compared to the players in the video, they didn't play like a game, they looked like handicapped players.
The card output skills in the video tutorial also aroused his interest.
After repeatedly watching the video and calculating the interval between attacks, he decided to try the card output battle mode himself.
The results are gratifying.
After ten minutes of blood grinding and constant switching of petrified forms, he successfully broke the bloody corpse's neck and completed a single kill beyond level 2.
Looking at the bloody corpses on the ground, Zhou Xiao felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Before entering "Land of Darkness", his favorite game was the soul game. Although the process of challenging the difficulty was painful, the joy brought after each victory made him feel happy.
This is especially true for "Dark Place", which has perfect fidelity. The satisfaction and benefit feedback from completing the challenge are simply great.
After resting for a while, Zhou Xiao got up and decided to find the next hunting target.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
Looking at it intently, Zhou Xiao was stunned:
"God of Wealth?"
Hearing Zhou Xiao call him the God of Wealth, Duanxing's face was expressionless, but his heart was extremely depressed.
He couldn't remember how many times he heard a mysterious creature call him the God of Wealth.
Every time they meet, these mysterious creatures will greet him from a distance, wave to him with a familiar expression, and then shout: God of Wealth.
After many days of observation, Broken Star discovered that there was no trace of the shuttle at all.
Today, he decided to take the initiative.
The mysterious creature blocking his path in front of him was his target.
"Tell me, where did the shuttle go?"
"Shuttle? What shuttle?"
Broken Star could not see any fear in the eyes of the mysterious creature who called himself a player. He realized that coercion had no effect at all. His tone slowed down slightly and he continued to say coldly:
"Where did your people hide the shuttle that came with me?"
"I don't know where I hid it. Besides, what does this have to do with me."
"He is your clansman, and of course he is related to you." Broken Star continued to say indifferently.
After hearing this answer, Zhou Xiao's face was filled with questions:
"This is unreasonable. Who is looking for you? I don't get the benefits, but I have to bear joint responsibility for the bad things?"
"As a member of a group, how can you stay out of it?"
"God of Wealth, you are unreasonable..." After hearing such strange remarks, Zhou Xiao rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture that said, "I must explain it to you."
Zhou Xiao and Broken Star finally sat on the ground and started a debate in the wilderness full of white plants. Two minds from two worlds collide in the debate.
Different from the earth, the world where Broken Star is located is based on the ethnic group as a whole unit, and the interests of the ethnic group are closely related to all the tribesmen.
But players think differently.
During the argument, neither of them could convince the other. In the end, Broken Star interrupted Zhou Xiao's remarks, took out a purple crystal from his arms and handed it to Zhou Xiao:
"Find the shuttle for me and I can pay you to your satisfaction."
After communicating with Zhou Xiao, Broken Star discovered that there was no unity within this clan, and members of the clan did not care about the interests of other clan members at all.
He had discovered before this point that this group of guys who called themselves players often broke out in internal conflicts, and the fights were brutal. They were merciless and fatal to their own people.
He didn't want to argue with Zhou Xiao on this issue anymore. He just wanted to find the shuttle and leave here as soon as possible.
Zhou Xiao lowered his head and looked at the purple crystal, and the analytical information emerged:
【Name: Purple Soul】
Spirit Mine Level: 7
Introduction: Essence crystals containing concentrated soul power can be used for sacrifices, building armed vehicles, etc. They can also be eaten directly to gain body-building level growth experience.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
……
Zhou Xiao's eyes widened when he saw that the God of Wealth was actually holding a level 7 spirit mine.
Since the launch of the Dark Land server, the highest level of spiritual ore that players have come into contact with is level 5, which triggered the first large-scale conflict between players.
But I didn't expect that the God of Wealth shaking his hands was the level 7 spiritual mine.
But Zhou Xiao did not reach out to pick it up.
Although this is just a game world, even if you regret it after you get it, you won't lose anything.
But his principle of playing games is not dominated by interests. He prefers to treat the game world as a real world, with his own principles and three views.
A level 7 spiritual mine is not enough for him to break his own principles.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiao shook his head:
"Sorry, I can't do it."
"My price is not enough?" Broken Star frowned slightly.
"You misunderstood. It's not that the price is not enough, but that I can't do it no matter how much you offer... If I guessed correctly, the shuttle you mentioned has long been sacrificed by other players... that is, my people. Gave the emperor a sign.”
"Sacrifice the Emperor's Omen?" Upon hearing the word "Emperor's Omen", a look of disbelief appeared in Duanxing's eyes.
"Your people still believe in the Emperor's Omen?"
"Is there any problem?" Zhou Xiao turned to look at Broken Star.
"The Emperor's Omen has disappeared for thousands of years. Although He was once the only belief in the hearts of countless racial forces in the monster world, in today's era, it is difficult to find racial forces that still believe in the Emperor's Omen."
Realizing that the conversation with Broken Star could reveal part of the world view, Zhou Xiao suddenly became interested:
"Since you don't believe in the Emperor's Omen, who are you loyal to?"
"Go against the tide."
"Who is this?"
Facing the inquiry, Brokenstar subconsciously recalled the scene he saw when he read the memory images left by the ancestral warriors before joining the reserve force.
In the picture, a majestic figure sits on the blood throne, his face blurred under the blood energy.
Under the throne are countless warriors of the Against the Tide Legion standing solemnly.
This is against the tide, and it is also the belief in his heart.
Although Ni Tide's appearance was never clearly seen in the memory fragments, Ni Tide's voice was always engraved in Broken Star's mind:
"The Emperor's Omen resolved itself, and the four gods fell. We have completely lost the hope of rekindling the Emperor's Omen's fire, but I have not given up yet. I will lead you to continue to fight against the Black Tide until we regain our homeland... I do not need to inherit the Emperor's Omen, I will surpass Emperor Zhao!”
The domineering oath of war elicited a tsunami-like response from the soldiers below.
At this point, the Against the Tide Legion was born.
The era of Emperor Zhao has come to an end. From then on, going against the tide is the only belief in the hearts of thousands of races in the Pale Continent. Becoming a warrior against the tide is also his dream.
Recently I have been considering changing the update time.
