Chapter 401: Chapter 382: Altar Anomaly
System (Party): "[Prayer Ring]Lv29 Legendary"
"Whoa, this is Legendary Equipment!"
Duoduo stared blankly at the ring shared by Banxia Liuli in the party channel, filled with shock:
"And it’s a top-notch ring with Luck +5, my goodness."
"I’m getting goosebumps all over. Getting a legendary ring like this is just unbelievable."
"Who would’ve thought the game could be played this way!"
At this moment, Duoduo looked at Feng Hua with eyes full of adoration and sincerely said:
"Feng Hua boss, you’re awesome!"
This ring was given to Banxia by that woman before she died, and at this moment, not only was Duoduo shocked, but Banxia herself was also amazed.
To know that the best equipment she had were only three pieces of epic level, she had never seen equipment of the legendary level before.
Not to mention her, even among the wealthy players pursuing Banxia, few had legendary equipment.
Don’t look at Lin Yi, whose body already boasts seven or eight pieces of legendary equipment, and even two mythical level ones, but that was only because Lin Yi had more.
Currently, legendary equipment on the market is still something you can’t buy even if you have money. For a university student like Banxia Liuli, having epic equipment is already quite an achievement.
The mainstream equipment on the market still tends to be green equipment with set attributes.
So when Banxia Liuli saw this ring was of legendary quality, her first thought was to hand it over to Lin Yi,
After all, it was only by following Lin Yi’s advice that they obtained this ring.
If it weren’t for Lin Yi’s insistence and reminder, who would think to save a dying NPC?
But when Banxia was about to give the ring to Lin Yi, Lin Yi refused:
"This equipment originally belongs to you, keep it."
Even though this hidden plot was discovered by him, it would have been useless without Banxia’s Healing Technique.
Moreover, the ring’s attributes leaned towards the Healing System, so Lin Yi couldn’t selfishly take it and give it to Zhang Xinying.
Seeing Lin Yi insist on not taking it, Banxia Liuli joyfully accepted and wore it, yet she didn’t forget to sincerely thank Lin Yi:
"Thank you, Boss Feng."
Lin Yi chuckled:
"This is what you deserve, no need for thanks."
That’s what he said, but how many people in this game can really remain indifferent to legendary equipment?
Especially since this was just a temporary team.
Seeing the matter of the equipment come to an end, Duoduo then curiously asked Lin Yi:
"Feng Hua boss, do you know what’s with the extra points Banxia and Blood Demon have?"
Until now, Duoduo couldn’t understand why, despite completing the task together, their points were so much more.
Banxia had almost twice as many points.
Regarding this question, Lin Yi thought for a moment and then explained the concept of hidden points.
The general idea is, in this Trial Arena, there are many unpredictable tasks.
And when players receive a task, there’s actually a hidden side task within it.
If nothing goes wrong, these side quests should be targeted at various professions.
Just like the recent situation, only Banxia as a Priest could complete that side quest and gain that part of the points.
If there were no Priest here, even if Lin Yi knew of the hidden task, he would be powerless, left with only staring blankly.
The reason Blood Conceal Demon got extra points, Lin Yi guessed, probably had to do with him rescuing the woman from the altar, right?
After listening to Lin Yi’s explanation, the group suddenly realized:
"Got it!"
While Lin Yi was explaining the hidden points, Blood Conceal Demon, not caring much about it, went alone to the altar.
The entire altar was shaped like a cloud disc, carved from a massive stone.
Mysterious characters were engraved on the cloud disc, along with intricate patterns as fine as hair, covering the whole disc.
At this time, nearly all the patterns on the disc were stained with blood, and when Blood Conceal Demon walked over, he noticed the blood still flowing slowly along the patterns.
Seeing the blood about to dye all the patterns red, Blood Conceal Demon suddenly shouted:
"Feng Hua boss, come and take a look at this."
Lin Yi had just finished explaining.
Hearing Blood Conceal Demon’s voice, the curiosity drew everyone over.
But just as Lin Yi stepped onto the altar and saw those blood-red thread-like patterns, he was shocked and immediately swung the Purple Thunder Longsword he was holding at the altar.
"Clang~", even with all his strength, the Purple Thunder only left a shallow mark on the edge of the altar:
"So hard."
Seeing the altar couldn’t be destroyed, Lin Yi could only tell everyone:
"Quick, retreat from the altar."
However, at this time, the blood finally flowed to the center of the stone disc, causing all those thread-sized patterns on the disc to burst into red light.
At the same time, the altar suddenly brightened, illuminating the entire cave with dazzling red light.
Underneath everyone’s feet, a profound Hexagram Array began to form. Lin Yi sighed in his heart: It’s over.
As the Hexagram Array lit up, the Jade Qilin suddenly roared, slamming its front paw carrying the Power of Thunder onto the stone disc of the altar.
To Lin Yi, who saw the stone disc as impregnable, in a single strike from the Jade Qilin, it cracked instantly.
Simultaneously, a resentful roar echoing from the Nine Netherworld suddenly filled everyone’s ears:
"No!"
Then everyone felt as if Heaven and Earth were spinning and soon lost consciousness, Lin Yi included.
It was unclear how much time had passed, possibly just a moment, or maybe a long, long time.
In the livestream opened by Banxia, nearly a million people watched a completely dark screen. The stream erupted with noise as countless viewers harbored the same perplexed question in mind:
"What’s going on, where are they??"
In the chat, numerous question marks floated by.
Everyone wanted to know what exactly happened in that instant and what happened to Feng Hua’s people now.
Some realized something was off and immediately reported the situation to the official side.
The officials quickly responded, as always, with: "All data indicates everything is normal."
Others speculated whether the streamer had gone offline?
Seeing this message, the livestream platform managers, who always kept an eye on this, immediately jumped in to clarify:
"The streamer’s data is all normal, no signs of going offline."
They feared these ’cash cows’ might leave because of this.
Although both sides claimed everything was fine, nobody could explain why the stream remained pitch black.
Because the live stream displayed the streamer’s first-person perspective.
After a while, someone suddenly posted a message in the chat:
"Everyone, listen carefully, it sounds like there’s rain."
Upon seeing this, everyone listened intently.
And indeed, with close attention, the viewers could hear the "pitter-patter" of rain from the live stream.
Being able to hear rain proved that the stream was functioning normally.
Though this was a relief, doubt lingered. If everything was normal, why was there no image?
And what made it strange was, weren’t Lin Yi and his group last seen in a cave? Where did the sound of rain come from?
Unfortunately, among this team of players, only Banxia was streaming, so no one could learn about the situation from other sources.
After waiting anxiously for over ten minutes, suddenly, the chat exploded:
"It moved, it moved!"
"I just saw the streamer move."
"I saw her move too, and it’s really raining there!"
A sudden sharp pain startled Banxia Liuli awake.
Perhaps due to instinct, Banxia Liuli let out a scream:
"Ah!"
Then Banxia Liuli struggled to get up from the muddy ground, but she quickly sensed something was off:
"Rain? How can there be rain!"
Wasn’t she inside an underground cave? Where did the rain come from?
Banxia Liuli then discovered with horror that she was no longer in the cave but on an uncharted plain, surrounded by knee-high weeds.
At that moment, Banxia Liuli froze in astonishment as she looked around and realized she was in an unfamiliar wilderness:
