Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 271: Righteous Partner

Wei Huo and the others were exchanging information. There was no need to go to so much trouble, but the main reason was that the five of them were not invincible. They could also not be revived if they died.

Wei Huo said, “This is also a rare opportunity. Most of us can only experience our own lives at most, but we don’t have many opportunities to experience another person’s life.”

Upon hearing Wei Huo’s words, the others nodded. This was indeed a rare opportunity.

Coincidentally, at that moment, the exploration team in the northwest sent the latest news. They sent a message through their communicator. Everyone started exchanging information about the Western Continent.

They had walked to many places, but there were Crawling Dragons, Epic-ranked flying dragons, and Legendary Dragonites everywhere.

However, weirdly enough, no one had found out anything about Black Dragon Nidhogg. Many humans had heard about the Black Dragon leading an army to attack humans and magical beasts, but no one had seen the real Black Dragon Nidhogg.

System Number Two, who was familiar with all the game rules and events, was confused. She said, “That shouldn’t be the case. Why hasn’t the Black Dragon appeared yet? Has this Mythical event not been fully triggered?”

This was a little unusual. Even the database did not record it. Wei Huo and the others also felt that something was wrong.

Wei Huo said, “We might have overlooked something. Something’s not right. We’d better not underestimate the Black Dragon.”

Wei Huo had a hunch that things were not simple.

There had to be a reason for this abnormality. The Mythical event should have been triggered, but the Black Dragon had yet to appear. This did not conform to the game’s setting.

The only clue was the Black Dragon Medal. Now, he could only cultivate the Black Dragon Medal to the limit.

Currently, only a few of the people who had come from the Northern Continent to the Western Continent were players, so only a few of them could complete this quest.

Everyone was waiting for Wei Huo’s orders. In the end, Wei Huo stood up and said, “Let’s start hunting. Let’s go to the Northern Ice Plains immediately.”

Everyone rubbed their fists. They could not wait any longer. Although they were still not used to these bodies, they could definitely use them to unleash stronger power with their consciousness and combat experience.

At that moment, the five players who had had their accounts taken away realized that they could not log in. The five players had been killed by Wei Huo in an instant and had thus failed their quest. They were furious at the thought of spending Magical Stones to pass the Underworld trial.

They all left the game, planning to hunt a super creature to fill their stomachs. They were creatures of the Demon Realm, and their concept of time was different from that of humans. One day in their world was the equivalent of a year in the human world. That was why they hunted, ate, and chatted. Meanwhile, a few months had passed on Earth.

When they went online again, they realized that their accounts were gone. All five of them had disappeared.

They were stunned.

“What’s going on? Can a reincarnated player kill another player and delete their account?”

The captain, who was calmer, said, “This might not be a game setting. Our accounts have been hacked. Those three players were hackers!”

They suddenly fell silent. What should they do about the stolen accounts? Finding a game company to defend their rights would not work in the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm was a world where the strong were respected. If someone’s account was stolen, it meant that they were too weak and could not blame others.

If one was strong enough, no one would dare steal their account. At the same time, one could find who had stolen the account and kill them.

This was the Demon Realm, a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

The captain said, “Create an alternate account. We’ll go in and find the whereabouts of the three players. Then, we’ll return to reality and kill them!”

The five of them entered the game again and created alternate accounts. Unfortunately, they might not meet Wei Huo and the others again.

Meanwhile, Wei Huo had already arrived on the ice plains with his team. There were many mammoths, ice wolves, ice worms, and bone dragons nearby. There was also a Legendary-level Frost Dragon living in a certain area of the ice plains. If anyone provoked it, it would fly up and spit out terrifying frost to freeze everything.

The players could level up there, unlike the nosy humans in the Northern Continent. No humans would go there, so everyone in the surrounding area was a player.

Wei Huo led his team there and was about to kill the players when someone beat him to it. It was some players who had obtained the Black Dragon Medal and were above Level 200.

A few Level-100 players were teaming up to kill a bone dragon. However, a player above Level 200 suddenly appeared and charged toward the players with a short sword in his hand. In an instant, he killed all the Level-100 players.

After killing the players, the Level-200+ players left the place and charged toward another group of players.

The bone dragon had been surrounded and was on its last breath. It was about to die and it had not expected a player to save it. Confused, it thought to itself, Am I the monster, or are you the monster?

A few Level-200+ players started killing. Many Level-100+ players immediately cursed. “Is there a point in using your main account to kill alternate accounts? It’s just a game. Don’t bring reality into this.”

There were many casual players on Earth. This was probably why they were tired of the fighting environment in the Demon Realm, just like they were tired of living in reality and had entered the game to fight.

However, some players would still complete quests and kill monsters. They were not concerned about the process of killing monsters. They just wanted to experience the feeling of being a human. Some of them wanted to follow the storyline. This colorful Earth was much more interesting than the Demon Realm.

Many players started cursing. “Don’t be bored. Just play the game and experience it. We won’t really die. What’s the point of killing us?”

A novice player said, “I heard that this game was originally a casual game. However, the higher-ups of the Demon Realm thought that such a game would make one lose their willpower. That’s why they forcibly added a lot of fighting and killing content. Their purpose was to prevent the young people of the Demon Realm from having their willpower corroded by the game.”

Wei Huo and the others listened from the side. These players revealed a lot of information about the Demon Realm.

After some investigation, Wei Huo said, “Let’s kill the players above Level 200!”

Zhou Song was indeed Wei Huo’s good friend. He immediately understood what Wei Huo meant. He rushed out and chased a Level-20 player while shouting, “How dare you kill our alternate accounts? How shameless! I, Justice Hero, will not let you off. Die!”

Everyone was confused.

What was Justice Hero?

A player said, “He’s in character… I heard that some people have severe schizophrenia. They are feared by everyone in the Demon Realm, but they are good guys in the game.”

Another player said, “But that’s what makes it interesting! Isn’t playing the game meant to help you vent your anger? Aren’t you supposed to act like a different person?”
