Chapter 66: Chaos Snake Lord!
Many players were scared when they saw the new version update and quickly went online to mark the center of their territories!
Fang Ze and others did the same. How could they let others take over their territories?
After this battle, players saw almost half of their coins disappear!
Many players burst into tears after seeing their coin earnings cut down!
"Gosh, the officials really hit me hard with this blow!"
"Half, I rely on!"
"Is there still justice, is there still law?"
"Cough, anyone recycling currency, the recycling price should go up now."
"Right, with less currency profits, beef skewers should also go up in price."
"Oh man, can’t you be more considerate, can’t afford it anymore!"
"Find it too expensive, why don’t you go to the vegetable stall next door?"
"Right, come to me, I won’t raise the price!"
"6。"
"Luckily I stocked up on some currency, hehe."
"I wish I had hoarded some as well, darn it!"
"This time the official announcement is impressive, they directly opened up ten thousand closed beta slots?"
"I reckon next time it will be 100,000, as the saying goes, open beta is on the horizon!"
"So there are only five more updates left?"
"Version 1.0 is definitely for the open beta, I can’t wait to defeat my classmates, hehehe!"
"Wow, buddy, you’re quite skilled at fighting your own kind."
"Oh no!"
"Who the heck closed the gate of my brickyard?!"
"Come on out, I promise I won’t hurt you!"
"Oh no, someone drew on the corner of my house!"
"Luckily I acted quickly."
"You have marked up everything in your house, where did you get so much money?"
"No, I marked up someone else’s house."
"666！"
"Once I find the original owner of this house, I will blackmail them for money to mark up my own house."
"You seem to know how to do business."
"You marked up my house, buddy."
"Hehe, then I can set the price."
"Before you set a price, go back and see if you can still get into your home, okay?"
"Oh no, you blocked off my house!"
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, sigh!"
。。。
The same scene kept happening, luckily Fang Ze and his friends were wealthy enough to avoid it.
For the past few days, they have been exploring the volcano, searching for the Snake Lord.
Do you remember when Ye Qiu mentioned the two paths to the Molten Fire Arsenal in the beginning?
One path leads to the armor room, while the other goes to the forging room.
Inside the armor room path, there are actually a few forks leading deeper into the volcano!
The inside of the volcano was like a huge underground maze, and after days of searching, they still couldn’t find the way out.
Fang Ze used the right-hand rule, walking along the right side all the way, but ended up back at the entrance again.
It was puzzling because there seemed to be a maze that the right-hand rule couldn’t solve.
There was only one possibility then!
The exit wasn’t a visible one; it was hidden within the maze itself!
With this new idea in mind, they started exploring once more.
Every day, from morning till nightfall, they worked hard, and surprisingly, they found a spot that seemed like the entrance to the Snake Lord’s palace.
But it was already dark by then, so they decided to come back the next day since they had found the location.
However, when they returned the next day, they were completely stunned!
The entrance of the palace has disappeared!
No, it didn’t disappear, it’s just that the entrance of the palace has moved!
They suddenly realized that the entrance to the Snake Lord’s palace changes every hour!
But this change is not random!
It follows a certain pattern!
The specific pattern seems to change as the sun moves to different positions.
Or in other words, if there is a concept of planet rotation in the game.
Then this pattern changes along with the rotation of the planet they are standing on!
In fact, their guess was correct.
During this time, they also met a player.
That player has been running towards the volcano these days, but he is not looking for Hobbit, but to mine sulfur at the volcano!
Gotta say, this guy is one of those tough talkers!
"I already have potassium nitrate, just need sulfur, then I can make black gunpowder by hand!"
Tough guy.
Too tough.
These days are getting tougher.
I wonder how well that guy’s black gunpowder turned out.
Fang Ze and others also thought about climbing the tech tree, but eventually gave up and let those tough-looking guys do it!
"Let’s go, we will continue searching for the Snake Lord’s palace today. This time, we won’t follow a pattern, let’s just go straight in!"
"What do you mean?"
"To do it all at once!"
"All at once?"
"It has to be all at once!"
"The stats of the Snake Lord and Wolf Lord should be similar. Once we get used to it, defeating the Snake Lord shouldn’t be a problem."
"Let’s do it then!"
"Off we go!"
。。。
Everyone entered the volcano cave once again, but this time many more people were inside the volcano.
It seemed that Wolf Lord’s announcement had caught the attention of many players.
They speculated that Fang Ze and others had already found clues, so they had been following Fang Ze’s team all along.
Nowadays, Fang Ze’s team often stayed near the volcano.
Obviously, there must be something hidden inside the volcano.
Upon hearing rumors, many players came to the volcano to search together.
Fang Ze and his team didn’t pay attention to them, and went straight into the underground palace after finding the entrance inside the volcano.
The group of players following them naturally found the underground palace too, so they went into Snake Lord’s palace together.
Similar to Wolf Lord’s palace, Snake Lord’s palace also had stairs leading downwards.
There were murals all around, and this time Fang Ze carefully observed them.
The murals of Snake Lord and Wolf Lord were similar, with the only difference being a sun behind Snake Lord.
"Could it be that… Snake Lord becomes weaker as night falls?"
Thinking this, the group hesitated to raid Snake Lord’s palace.
Without hesitation, the other players all rushed into Snake Lord’s palace.
Clang!
With a loud noise, the doors of Snake Lord’s palace closed instantly!
And then, shortly after, they opened again.
Clearly, all the players inside had been wiped out.
After that, several teams of players arrived, but they still could not escape being completely defeated.
However, it wasn’t long before these people came back again, only to be defeated once more…
So, it wasn’t until dusk that Fang Ze and the others decided to enter the palace!
Unlike the Wolf Lord’s palace, this palace was a circular arena with four huge pillars around.
After the people’s discovery, it turned out that those pillars were actually used to hide from the Wolf Lord’s dark fire.
On the Snake Lord’s side, it was all pillars!
In other words, there was no ground at all on the Snake Lord’s side!
Beneath the entire palace was an endless abyss, with numerous gigantic pillars serving as supports!
Among these pillars, some were tall, some were short, with the shorter ones level with the ground, while the taller ones had huge platforms for players to stand on.
The tall pillars lead straight to the top of the palace!
The Wolf Lord’s palace is lit by ghostly fires, while the Snake Lord’s palace is dark because of its red fiery rocks.
The entire palace is made of volcanic rock and stones that glow with hot fire light.
People jumped onto the pillars, and the next moment, the door behind them shut tight!
Boom!
—You have awakened the snake—
[Chaos Snake Lord has awakened!]
"Chaos Snake Lord, hovering silently above the ground, moves like a freed dragon. Its eyes see all things as still, even in darkness it sees as if it were daylight."
"Only The Light of Dawn can destroy its eyes!"
