Chapter 513: Chapter 277: Temptation of the First Kill _2
“Finally succeeded!”
The young man watched the surging avalanche formed by the rolling snow, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
“With this technique, even if I can’t be the first to hunt the Star Palace Guard today, I can definitely make it into the top three.”
“I just don’t know how I compare to Zhang Yang from Dongchen State, who has a faster hunting speed for players now!”
Huangjue Province.
Five players wearing black robes gathered together, ledby a short middle-aged man.
He was none other than the number one Great God of Huangjue Province, Kawamoto.
“How’s the preparation going?”
“Don’t worry, President, everything is ready.”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “This time I not only want to get the first kill, but I also want to break into the top three in the rankings!”
Twelve Zodiac Star Palaces were about to open again, and the top players from various states were sharpening their knives.
Land of the Lost.
The carriage was speeding along the official road.
Su Nan naturally saw the information in World Chat.
“Those who can reach the top of their states are not to be underestimated.”
He nodded quietly, not feeling too surprised.
Anyone who has reached this point today is not a simple person.
Take Dongchen State for example; if it weren’t for Su Nan’s presence, perhaps Zhou Cheng might have broken through to Xuan-level already.
There is also Qian Yu.
If it weren’t for Su Nan’s interference, Qian Yu might have already obtained the inheritance in that ancient cave mansion.
Looking out through the carriage window, a solitary peak in the distance was particularly eye-catching.
Checking the time, Su Nan said, “Let’s stop here for now.”
At his words, Chen Ying, who was unclear of his intentions, still stopped the carriage for the first time.
After getting off the carriage, Su Nan headed straight for the solitary peak.
Soon, he arrived at an unobstructed area at the top of the peak.
“This spot is nice. After completing the Twelve Zodiac Star Palace event, I’ll practice the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture here.”
With a thought, he externalized his body, and the Divine Soul settled into his avatar.
“I wonder if I can control my avatar to enter the Twelve Zodiac Star Palace.”
Although he was not interested in getting the first kill, he would not mind taking the first, or even sweeping the top three if he had the chance.
The biggest limitation for the avatar is that it cannot exist in the same space as the main body, or they would lose contact and be uncontrollable.
The space where the Twelve Zodiac Star Palace is located is unique, and Su Nan cannot be sure whether it is a real space or a virtual existence in the game.
However, from the entrance animation of the Twelve Zodiac Star Palace, each battlefield corresponds to a planet. If the main body and the avatar enter simultaneously, although they are on different planets, they are still in the same starry sky.
In theory, the connection between him and his avatar should not be lost under such circumstances.
“To know whether it will work or not, I’ll just have to try.”
Using Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transmutations, his main body resumed Zhang Yang’s appearance.
“Young Master, what is this…?” Chen Ying followed Su Nan to the summit and looked at the suddenly appearing avatar with astonishment.
“This is one of my avatars.” Su Nan said.
“Avatar?” Chen Ying’s eyes widened in surprise.
She had heard of avatars before and had seen references in ancient books, but she had always thought they were legendary. She never thought she would see one today.
What is the background of this young master?
Even though she had already witnessed Su Nan’s various incredible abilities, seeing the avatar that Su Nan summoned still startled her.
Su Nan did not explain further and focused on his panel.
Finally, the time came for the real world to be eight o’clock.
[The Twelve Zodiac Star Palace is now open. Do you want to enter?]
“Yes!”
The prompt appeared in front of both the main body and the avatar, and Su Nan confirmed it immediately.
With the confirmation, a deja-vu scene happened, and he appeared in a vast starry sea in the blink of an eye.
His gaze quickly descended, and the next moment, he landed on a huge battlefield once again, with numerous players surrounding him.
However, in his eyes, the surrounding players were much smaller.
His body had become bigger!
This time, he arrived as the Aries Guard!
Having no time to waste, he contacted his avatar immediately.
To his relief, the connection with his avatar did not get lost.
On the other battlefield, his avatar also successfully landed as the Star Palace Guard.
“Sure enough, even if we are in different planets, it is still considered as a single space.”
Confirming that there were no problems, he finally had a chance to take a look at the situation in front of him.
Where the eyes could see, there were dense crowds of players, and the number was obviously much more than last time, reaching 20,000 people on both sides!
Moreover, the Star Palace Guards had changed from one on both sides to two on both sides.
One of them was covered in scale armor, with a strange appearance, and was a genuine Star Palace Guard.
As for the other, although also covered in scale armor, his facial features were clearly those of Poluo Country citizens.
Like Su Nan, he is a player.
“Player?”
Across from Su Nan, the player transformed into the Star Palace Guard of Pisces Palace, a Poluo Country player, stared at Su Nan in a daze before thinking:
“I wonder if hunting players disguised as Star Palace Guards can get the first kill?”
Hunting players is much simpler than hunting real Star Palace Guards.
Thinking of this, that player’s eyes flashed with brilliance, deciding in an instant to dispose of Su Nan first.
Just at this moment, the two Star Palace Guards shouted:
“You are the subjects of Aries (Pisces) Palace, follow this guard to eliminate them!”
Before the words fell, the two Star Palace Guards took the lead to rush towards their opponents.
Seeing this, the Poluo Country Star Palace Guard staring at Su Nan, also rushed towards Su Nan at the first opportunity.
However, he had just made a move when he saw the sky filled with a sea of fire engulfing the battlefield instantly!
“This is…”
“Zhang Yang! It’s Zhang Yang!”
“God Zhang Yang has been assigned to our battlefield!”
Players from Dongchen State looked at the sea of fire and their two Star Palace Guards, instantly recognizing Su Nan, and couldn’t help cheering and jumping with excitement.
“Zhang Yang? Damn! Why did we encounter him!”
The Poluo Country Star Palace Guard was dumbfounded.
Although he couldn’t understand what the Dongchen State players were saying, he also knew about the three Xuan-level players in Dongchen State.
The sea of fire engulfed the battlefield, this was not the first time this scene had happened, but in the eyes of everyone, it had become Zhang Yang’s signature move!
“Unlucky!”
The Poluo Country Star Palace Guard wailed in his heart but had no means to deal with it.
The flames fell, and the Poluo Country players covered by the flames had no power to resist, dying upon contact.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Poluo Country players, together with the two Star Palace Guards, disappeared from the battlefield.
[Congratulations, you have become the second player among the Twelve Zodiac to kill the Star Palace Guard and obtain a Star Palace artifact.]
After the guard was killed, the real Star Palace Guard’s corpse disappeared, leaving behind a Pisces Bracelet.
However, he was not the first, but the second.
Because the first was taken by his avatar!
On the other side, under his control, his avatar reacted even more quickly, instantly approaching the Star Palace Guard, killing a Star Palace Guard with a single palm strike.
In World Chat.
Nearly simultaneously, two banners appeared.
[Congratulations to Dongchen State player Wang Nan for being the first player to hunt the Star Palace Guard and winning a Star Palace artifact.]
[Congratulations to Dongchen State player Zhang Yang for being the second player to hunt the Star Palace Guard and winning a Star Palace artifact.]
But it didn’t end there.
Su Nan casually picked up the Pisces Bracelet and exited the Twelve Zodiac for the first time.
When he entered the Twelve Zodiac again, he was already in the form of Lang Thirteen.
Two more Star Palace Guards were killed by him, and under the power of his Divine Soul, there was no real difference between Spirit-level players and ants.
[Congratulations to Dongchen State player Lang Thirteen for being the third player to hunt the Star Palace Guard and winning a Star Palace artifact.]
The third banner appeared.
From the opening of the Twelve Zodiac to the present, it was just a matter of time.
“How is this possible? How could they be so fast?”
Everyone was shocked, although they had anticipated that the competition to hunt Star Palace Guards today would be extra fierce, it was possible that there would be players who would kill Star Palace Guards right after the start.
But when three notifications appeared one after the other, everyone was still taken aback.
However, for those Great Gods who wanted to get the first kill, it was even more of a blow!
“Damn it! It’s them three again. Once I break through to Xuan-level, I’ll kill them all!”
“They beat us to it again. Can it be that we Xuan-level peak players really can’t withstand a single strike from them?”
“Fourth! I must get the fourth!”
Wang Nan, Lang Thirteen and Zhang Yang were all Xuan-level and had killed Star Palace Guards first yesterday, so it wasn’t unacceptable for other players to see them kill Star Palace Guards first again today.
However, if they couldn’t even get the fourth place, it would truly be a complete loss.
At this moment, in the eyes of the Great Gods in each state, the fourth place was no different from the first!
