Seeing the announcement, all the players naturally clicked on it to see the details. They wanted to see just how crazy this carnival event was.
However, as soon as they clicked on the main page of the carnival, they saw a black ghost head staring at them with sinister eyes. The sound effects were also accompanied by gusts of chilly wind. The timid players almost had their hearts jump out of their mouths at this moment. In the scorching summer, a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts.
Summer Carnival: Ghost Parade!
Only then did the bright red words jump out. At this moment, how could the players still be in the mood to celebrate? This event was clearly meant to create a scary atmosphere, right?
Looking closer, the event content was very simple. It was to catch ghosts. It was similar to last year's Christmas thief hunt. But this time, the event was much more detailed and complicated. After all, it wasn't as simple as a holiday.
The Ghost Parade event lasted for a week. The system would release a certain number of ghosts each day. Players only needed to find these ghosts and kill them. The ghosts themselves gave experience, money, materials, equipment, and other rewards. As for the higher level rewards, it was of course in the usual style of Glory: the leaderboards.
The leaderboards weren't as simple as the number of ghosts killed. This was because the ghosts released this time could grow. In the process of killing players, they would become stronger and stronger. The stronger the ghost, the more points the player would receive. The leaderboards were based on this type of point system.
In the normal servers, there were detailed levels, but in the Heavenly Domain, it was much simpler. There was only one level area, Level 75. Apart from the leaderboards, there were also leaderboards for various achievements. The concept was similar to a dungeon first kill. Only the first person to complete the dungeon had the qualifications to receive the achievement reward.
Experienced players could understand it with just a few glances. This was because Glory events were never too complicated. The main feature was competition. Only the rewards obtained through competition were the most generous rewards. As for the rewards from killing ghosts, it was just a participation reward.
Although normal players definitely wouldn't dream of getting first place, Glory's custom was to put the final rewards together with the leaderboards. No matter what your ranking was, there would always be a reward corresponding to your ranking. So, no matter who it was, they would do their best to fight for it. The higher the leaderboards, the better the rewards.
July 7th was the second Monday of July, and the Hundred Battles Night Parade would begin on that day. When the system maintenance was completed and the players went online, they discovered that the entire world of Glory was just like the event's main page. It had turned grey. The sky was covered with dark clouds. There was not a single ray of sunlight, but there was no rain either. The entire world was immersed in darkness.
There were no ghosts at the moment. The first wave of ghosts would spawn at 7 PM tonight. After that, the Hundred Battles would spawn at 7 PM every day.
In the gloomy world, the players carried out their daily routine as usual while waiting for the arrival of 7 pm.
At 7 pm, the entire world of Glory suddenly rang with the sound of a bell. No matter where you were in the world, even if you were in a dungeon, the sound of the bell would reach everyone's ears. After seven beeps, the system released a bright red announcement with only four large words: Ghost Parade.
"Ahhh!!!" In a certain main city, a scream pierced through the air. A female Blade Master jumped back four times in a row, but she still couldn't escape the pursuit of the wooden barrels in front of her. These wooden barrels were originally just a pile of ordinary decorations on this street. Players walked by them every day and saw them every day. Not many people paid attention to them. At most, some bored player would step on them and jump around.
But now, when the Ghost Parade announcement came out, these wooden barrels suddenly seemed to come alive.
The female Blade Master originally had her back against the wooden barrels, vigilantly waiting for the ghosts to spawn. Who would have thought that there would suddenly be movement behind her? She turned around and saw that the wooden barrels behind her had all come alive. They could bend and twist. The instant she turned around, a few of the barrels lifted up their lids. It looked like they wanted to swallow her whole.
The female player screamed and hastily retreated. When the surrounding players noticed this, they saw that the wooden barrels had already chased after the female player. The female player couldn't dodge in time. Her Blade Master was instantly swallowed by the wooden barrels. Then, the wooden barrels scattered and the female player died. Only a belt was left on the ground. Unexpectedly, she even dropped equipment!
The players were shocked!
Killing a person in an instant. These wooden barrel ghosts weren't as simple as they thought.
Without understanding the situation, the surrounding players didn't dare to rashly go forward. But the wooden barrels took the initiative to attack. They chose another player on the street and charged over. Some rolled on the ground, some jumped, and some even jumped several meters high before crashing down like Mount Tai.
"What's going on!!" This player cried out in alarm. He also wanted to dodge. In the end, the wooden barrels surrounded him from all directions and finally squeezed him in the middle. Then, the wooden barrels were swallowed up. Another player died.
The players on the street were dumbfounded. They were waiting for the ghosts to spawn, waiting to fight for points. But in the end, the wooden barrels moved and instantly killed two people.
"It looks like it's very powerful, huh?" A player said to his companion next to him, but didn't hear a reply. He turned his head and saw that his companion had disappeared without a sound.
"Shui Yue?" This player called out, but there was no reply. He couldn't find his companion anywhere. Just as he was about to pull up his friends list to ask, he suddenly heard something rustling behind him. He turned around and saw the willow tree beside him. At this moment, several willow branches wrapped around him like tentacles. At the same time, this player saw a Silver Night Emblem hanging on one of the willow branches. This was his good friend Shui Yue's equipment.
In an instant, the player understood what was going on, but he didn't have time to scream. Those willow branches had already wrapped themselves around his shoulders, and in an instant, they had already swept him away. His vision was immediately plunged into darkness, and he couldn't see anything.
Health …
The only thing this player could see was his health bar rapidly decreasing. This kind of damage, this willow tree monster was at least at the level of a small monster in an instance dungeon! This, was this an opponent that a player could face alone? Dungeons had always been a place where players formed teams to fight.
This player was already prepared to meet up with his friend in despair. Suddenly, he heard several crackling sounds. The screen lit up again and his character's view was restored. As far as the eye could see, all he could see was the continuous flashing of the sword light. The willow tree monster's tentacles and willow branches had all been cut into pieces.
The player didn't have time to think. He hurriedly broke free and retreated. Then, he saw that person also jump back. It was clearly a Blade Master's slash, but suddenly, a fireball shot out from between his fingers.
Flame Bullet?
The player was a bit stunned. Even if this was a low-level Elementalist skill, it shouldn't be used by a Blade Master!
But in the next moment, he understood. This was because he saw the ID above this figure's head: Lord Grim.
Lord Grim!
God Ye Xiu's unspecialized, Lord Grim!
This player was stunned. This character hadn't been out for long, but in the game, it had already become a legend. This player had heard from the tenth server's players that Lord Grim had wreaked havoc in the tenth server. In reality, it wasn't just the tenth server. When this Level 55 player entered the Heavenly Domain, he was besieged by a group of Level 70 players who were 15 levels higher than him.
After that, Lord Grim's identity was completely exposed. He was God Ye Xiu. From that moment onwards, it became difficult for players to meet Lord Grim in game.
This was a problem that every famous character had. As soon as these characters went online, the good ones would be surrounded by endless onlookers. The bad ones would be chased to death. But in this kind of large scale event, these characters couldn't bear to miss it. This was because in the event, all sorts of items would be given out. Among these items, there was one that was always bound and couldn't be traded. It could only be obtained by the character, so these pro characters couldn't easily ignore it.
Skill books!
This was something that even wild bosses, the highest grade equipment and material suppliers in Glory, rarely provided. To be able to get one while killing monsters was already considered extraordinary luck. Otherwise, as long as the drop rate was high, these pro characters would have maxed it out even if they died. They wouldn't have been Level 70 for so many years and still be lacking 100 or 200.
Just like anything else, the chances of a skill book appearing in an event greatly increased. Naturally, pro characters would want to seize this opportunity. As a result, in large scale events, it wasn't too difficult to meet some pro characters. But at this kind of time, pro characters wouldn't wear their Silver equipment. If they were surrounded and killed by players, they would really be suckers. At this kind of time, pro characters would just casually grab some Purple or Orange equipment and make do with it.
Lord Grim could obviously change his equipment, but the problem was that his equipment was already at the level of the game. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was a Silver weapon, but the problem was that this equipment couldn't be replaced. As a result, Lord Grim could definitely be considered to be acting as himself.
The continuous firebombs bombarded the willow tree, and the fire gradually spread, engulfing the entire willow tree. The willow tree's branches twitched as if it was struggling. As the flames soared into the sky, it was completely ignited and finally stopped moving. Lord Grim walked back and raised his hand. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed into a spear and used a Circle Swing. The large willow tree was lifted up and smashed to the ground, turning into charred pieces. It really was dead.
"Strange, it doesn't count as a First Kill?"
The players on the street were still crying out in shock. Many of the things around them had actually turned into ghosts. But Ye Xiu was already chasing the question of whether or not he had gotten a First Kill. This was the difference … …
