Xiaofeng couldn’t get his information except for the basic attributes like grade and profession. But Xiaofeng was sure that Captain Bolton was an important and strong NPC.

He was the Faerie level BOSS! It was only one level lower than Myth. He could definitely help the players a lot!

The clicking sound.

They went deeper into the Muguang Forest and more Skeleton Soldiers crawled up out of the ground. The ground was filled with potholes. At the same time, these Skeleton Soldiers became more powerful than before when Xiaofeng first came here. The weakest monsters among them were 25th-level elite monsters. Some advanced monsters may also appear from time to time and Xiaofeng couldn’t see their attributes by using the advanced scouting. This meant that they were over level 30!

But these numerous Skeleton Soldiers were all paper tigers to Captain Bolton. Wherever he went, there were piles of corpses at his feet.

Xiaofeng scuttled and followed behind Captain Bolton. His experience bar went up quickly, which made him happy and satisfied. But those Skeleton Soldiers killed by Captain Bolton would not drop items, which made Xiaofeng regretful.

“Wait! I notice a strong smell of the undead!”

They quickly arrived at the central lake without being stopped by anyone. But Captain Bolton suddenly stopped and looked at the area that was originally the central lake.

The clear and bright lake had disappeared and there was a gray swamp.

“Oh… you’re the running dog of the Temple of Light. I didn’t expect that you would come here so fast…”

A hoarse voice suddenly appeared around them and the cold air spread out. A hole suddenly appeared in the surface of the swamp-like lake and then the figure of the Big Lich slowly floated from it.

“You’re just a filthy undead creature. How dare you enter the main city of humans and pollute the source of light of Tianlong City! I will purify you today!”

Captain Bolton held the sword in his right hand and took out a shining silver shield with his left hand. He rode on the tall holy unicorn and pointed at the Big Lich. It seemed that his whole body was shining.

“Oh, you’re just a small branch of the Temple of Light. You can’t stop our Dark Army!”

The Big Lich said with a hoarse voice and started to look at Xiaofeng with his dry and empty eyes.

“You’re just a small light ritualist and I didn’t expect that you could break away from the Golden Skeleton King. It has just been summoned by me and didn’t get enough strength. But it was as strong as the Paladin Commander of the Temple of Light. You’re just a weak human ritualist and I didn’t expect you could survive.”

Xiaofeng felt that hatred of the Big Lich had shifted to himself for a moment, but it moved to Captain Bolton immediately.

“But when I lost touch with the Golden Skeleton King, I realized that the Temple of Light might know that I was here. I’m well prepared. Don’t worry, I’ll bury your bodies in this place. This is the first battle of the Dark Army and also the prelude to the destruction of Tianlong City! Haha!”

The Big Lich burst into hoarse laughter and Xiaofeng was worried. Obviously, the Big Lich was well prepared for this fight but the Tianlong City branch only sent Captain Bolton to kill it. It seemed that the bright forces were overconfident.

“Wake up! Sleeping dead! Dedicate your soul and glory to the Dark army and to the supreme Devil Emperor!”

Xiaofeng was right to be concerned. The Big Lich floated in the air and raised his dry palm. Then a magical array suddenly appeared in the swamp below it. The muddy surface of the swamp moved like the waves of water and many cold skeleton warriors gradually emerged.

Xiaofeng looked at them and found that these skeleton soldiers were pitch black and their bones were as black as the ink. Xiaofeng couldn’t get any information by using the advanced scouting.

“Be careful! These evil creatures are lying in ambush. Brave Dad, protect yourself!”

Captain Bolton looked more dignified. Xiaofeng guessed that the level of these dark skeleton soldiers was higher than 50, and they might also be silver or even golden BOSS, otherwise, Captain Bolton who was a Faerie BOSS wouldn’t be so alert. Equipment could be divided into different types according to their quality. There was golden, immortal and artifact equipment. The Bosses were the same. The Faerie BOSS was stronger than the Golden BOSS while the Myth BOSS was the strongest one. All of these were powerful creatures.

Captain Bolton didn’t need to remind Xiaofeng. He clearly knew that the most important thing was to stay alive. As a player, Xiaofeng was not afraid of death. But he would lose 20 percent of his experience points if he was killed. This was a great loss for him.

“Brave undead warriors! Tear the enemies in front of you into pieces!”

A great battle began on the battlefield. The Big Lich gave orders with its hoarse voice and a group of dark skeleton Bosses madly rushed to Captain Bolton. The Big Lich also began to use undead magic.

But Captain Bolton was not afraid at all. He confronted these senior Bosses and ordered the holy light unicorn to rush at these dark skeleton warriors.

“Hooo!”

The war immediately broke out. Captain Bolton was definitely the strongest paladin of the Tianlong City branch. He could fight with more than 10 Bosses which were at the same level as him by himself. He was covered by the holy light and looked like the God of Light.

But the aftermath of their attack was too serious. Looking at the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of damage points on their heads, Xiaofeng was scared and dared not get close to them. He might directly be seckilled if he was covered by the ranged skills of someone.

However, Xiaofeng was not bored. With the appearance of a group of dark skeleton Bosses, a lot of skeleton soldiers also appeared around him. They were all senior and elite monsters and could give high experience. Xiaofeng killed them for fun.

“Rat-a-tat!”

“Hooo!”

“Bang!”

A group of senior Bosses was fighting with each other fiercely and Xiaofeng consciously stayed away from their battlefield. He was idly killing the skeleton soldiers while opening the official website to have a look.

Nowadays, major communication sections were occupied by the topics of trial missions. Not surprisingly, waves of transferring professions had already started. Many players were still stuck in the trial mission, but they were exchanging experience and becoming more familiar with the trial mission. Besides, they would get better equipment. They would definitely solve the problems and finish the trial mission one day.

Xiaofeng was looking for the information of Midsummer in the guild section and he found a post published by a player called Lao Xu. There were many replies and it seemed that this post was very popular among players. Xiaofeng started to pay attention to this player called Lao Xu.

“Introduction to the major guilds of Myth and the prediction of their future rankings – Lao Xu”

“Hahaha. Myth opened the service a few days ago and large and small guilds started to emerge. I believe that the forces formed by the major guilds will take shape after most of the players transfer their professions. I’ll give an introduction to the famous guilds of the Huaxia District and players can choose the one they like to join.”

“Of course, the order of introduction is not related to the rankings of the guilds. In the future, the system will issue the list of guilds, so I dare not to become a backseat driver. This is just my prediction.”

“First I want to introduce the leading guild of Huaxia District – Dynasty! It is the big brother and the best guild in the past many online games. It has the largest scale, the largest number of players, the most money, and the greatest power. Most of its members are in the Northern part of the Huaxia District and the main race is Terran. Please pay attention to this established leading guild if you’re a high-profile player. Based on my bold prediction, I believe that Dynasty will continue their glory and become the top three guilds in Myth!”

“Next I want to introduce Glory! Its main race is the elf. It’s also an established guild but most of their members choose to become the elves. No other major guilds make such choices, so they have no pressure of competition and will make huge progress. I guess that it may become one of the top five guilds in the future. If elf players want to join major guilds, Glory will be a good choice.”

Xiaofeng scanned these introductions and saw some familiar guilds.

“War Spirit Hall is a major guild in the South. It is popular among players because it has strict management and never bullies common players. Only honest and upright players can join this guild. If you like this kind of atmosphere, you can join them. I believe that the War Spirit Hall can make the top 50 in the guild list.”

“Doomsday League is also in the South. It’s always in trouble with the War Spirit Hall. Its members are bossy and I believe it can also make the top 50.”

“Most members of the Tough Man Alliance are in the southeast of Huaxia District. It’s said that it uses militarization management to supervise its members. The players must execute every order without fail. I believe that it can also make the top 50.”

“Midsummer Guild is one of the major guilds in the South. I believe that all of you are familiar with the famous game company – Midsummer Group. Midsummer Guild is attached to the Midsummer Group. It’s said that the current chairman of the Midsummer Group is ambitious and transfers the focus of the group to the world of Myth. The chairman must want to make a great success and invests funds and resources into this game. I believe that they can make the top 30!”

…

Xiaofeng found some information about this player called Lao Xu. He was a celebrity and was the know-it-all of online games. He was capable and many players believed his analysis.

Lao Xu almost introduced all the major guilds of the Huaxia District in this post. Players would find it easier to choose and join. He also admitted that he had taken certain advertising fees.

Xiaofeng turned off the exchange center on the official website and looked at the team interface casually. Then he was shocked. The team interface showed that Captain Bolton’s HP was nearly emptied.

“Gee…”

Xiaofeng was stunned and realized that Captain Bolton couldn’t resist the damages of the group of BOSS.

But he must save Captain Bolton. If Captain Bolton was killed, this task would fail and the storyline would also break off. Xiaofeng was scared and hurried back to help him.
