Chapter 1520 The Lord’s Reward
"It finally worked."
Lei Xiao stood on the city wall of Guanwang City, overlooking the city shrouded by the sacred sky. Everywhere was shining brightly, and his heart was filled with emotion.
At this time, the smoke from gunpowder in various parts of the city gradually cleared. Although it still looked like a mess, the people here were not afraid of the sweeping tide of "Eclipse" and the parasites, let alone making the place look brand new again?
While sighing, Lei Xiao's gaze moved and fell on the prompt interface in front of him.
At the end of the prompt interface, the loss rate of Watching City was fixed at 20.5%, which undoubtedly meant that he was only one step away from defensive failure.
It is not difficult to imagine that with the nature of the prompt sound, even if he finally defeated the "Eclipse" army, if the loss ratio did not meet the standard, he and his group would probably be left here forever.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, who suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, couldn't help but recall the false prompt sound he heard in the illusion.
Although the voice was fake, the part about the lord's description was probably not too different from reality.
Perhaps I am indeed the chosen one on a plate, but there are hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more such plates.
As the coordinator of all this, the prompt voice thinks that there is nothing special about itself, because it is just one of the hundreds of thousands and millions.
"Speaking of which, since the warning sound has not faded away from this land, we can still watch the "eclipse" run rampant here. And judging from the description of the site "001621" at the beginning, there are probably many plates with similar situations to Old Booker and others."
"No lord from another world has descended here. Everything seems to be planned. What on earth is the purpose of the prompt? It is simply unimaginable."
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking about this, the voices of Curry and Old Booker talking came over: "Reporting to the Lord of the City, the "Eclipse" army outside the city has also completely retreated!"
"Great! This will be a victory that the Ten Thousand Races will remember forever! The Ten Thousand Races need such a victory!"
Booker's old face was still full of excitement and enthusiasm. He came to Lei Xiao again and said excitedly: "Sir Brave, thank you for everything you have done for Guanwang City. Your courage and perseverance will be passed down! It will become the direction for us to move forward. Thank you very much for saving this city!"
After saying that, the old city lord knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Lei Xiao.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Brave, for saving this city!"
Behind the old city lord, whether it was Curry and other divine stone generals, or a group of soldiers defending the city, they all made the same movements, and there was a crisp sound of armor colliding.
Not only the soldiers nearby, but also the other soldiers in the city and the residents who walked out of the temple were all filled with irrepressible gratitude. They gathered towards Lei Xiao and others, making the excited shouts and cheers resound throughout the entire Guanwang City.
"Old City Lord, please stand up quickly. This victory belongs to everyone present. We just walked a little further ahead. It's not a big deal."
Lei Xiao bent down and helped old Booker up, smiling slightly.
Then, Lei Xiao's expression became serious again and he looked at the soldiers defending the city around him.
All of these human and dwarf soldiers, who had determined faces, were covered in wounds. Many of them were wrapped in bloody bandages, which were obviously the result of makeshift bandages.
"No matter which plate they are on, they are the ones who deserve the most respect, because they have used their bodies to build a solid defense line, blocking the torrent of the Eclipse army that is destroying everything."
While Lei Xiao was sighing in his heart, he finally set his eyes on Peter, Amanda and another Divine Stone General.
These three divine stone generals once fell in front of the "Eclipse" and its host, but at the critical moment they relied on their strong willpower to defeat the "Eclipse" that was parasitic in their bodies and guarded the area around the center of the formation again.
If it weren't for their efforts, the result would probably be different now.
You know, even though there is only one "Eclipse" parasitic on them, every "Eclipse" is connected to the "Guixu". In a sense, they are relying on their own will to fight against the entire "Eclipse".
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking of this, he saw the old General Shenshi Peter suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood. His face, which was already as pale as paper, completely lost its color, and he staggered and fell heavily to the ground.
Not only Peter, but Amanda and another God Stone general also went down one after another. Sticky black blood kept gushing out from their bloodless lips, and their faces were filled with unspeakable pain and torment.
As all this happened so suddenly, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. However, Lei Xiao did not hesitate at all. He helped up the old General Shenshi who was standing in the front and was about to activate the sixth-level healing scroll that appeared in his hand.
"Your Excellency the Brave One, it's useless."
Old Booker also lowered his body and shook his head helplessly at Lei Xiao, saying: "Under the blessing of the extinction array, although the "corruption" in the three generals' bodies has been erased, the parasitic process is irreversible. The erasure of the "corruption" also means the inevitable death of the host. This is the painful lesson we have learned over thousands of years."
"That's right, Mr. Hero, there is no need to waste your precious scroll on me."
Peter stood up tremblingly, and whispered to Lei Xiao with all his strength: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Brave. No matter what the reason, we once stood on the opposite side of Your Excellency the Brave. We almost made a big mistake. Please forgive us, Your Excellency the Brave."
After Peter finished speaking, Amanda and the other two, who were barely breathing, had the same guilty look on their faces and nodded.
"General, what are you talking about? This is the first time I've seen someone who can suppress the control of Eclipse. If you three hadn't helped at the critical moment, how could this city be bathed in the dawn of victory?"
Looking at Peter's trembling old face, Lei Xiao nodded heavily and said, "You are the real heroes of Guanwang City. Why are you asking for forgiveness?"
After saying this, Lei Xiao suddenly felt mixed emotions.
Although his contact with these Divine Stone Generals was extremely limited, he was certain that their bravery and perseverance were no less than any of the most outstanding generals under his command. Perhaps this was the main reason why the human race could stand at the top of all races.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Peter and the other two finally smiled, and a faint voice soon reached the ears of the former: "It is our greatest honor to fight alongside His Excellency the Brave One."
As the words fell, the prompt sound reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
[Dear Lord Lei Xiao, the rewards for defending the city have been distributed. Congratulations on obtaining the Lord's exclusive treasure "Purification of Purple Crystal (Sixth Level Legend)"! ]
[Note: Please make good use of the last stop time. There are 1799 seconds left to return to your original location.]
As the prompt sounded, Lei Xiao felt the inner pocket of his leather armor sink, obviously there was something extra.
“It’s a really unique way of distributing.”
Listening to this somewhat untimely prompt, Lei Xiao subconsciously opened the attribute column of the reward item.
[Name: Purification Amethyst] (Unbound)
[Level: Level 6 Legend (Gold)]
[Host: None]
[Function: Purify group targets of level 72 and below that are parasitized by "Corruption", and restore targets with their own consciousness to normal (charging time: hours)]
[Note: This is a secret treasure exclusively for lords, obtained by Lei Xiao "ID: 002398", who completed the "Lord Trial" 0013076067 times. It cannot be used before binding. Once successfully bound, only the owner can use it. If the owner dies, this item will disappear and cannot be used by other lords.]
"Restore the target parasitized by the "Eclipse" to normal? Or a group target?"
Looking at the attribute column of the reward, Lei Xiao's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Although the Extinction Array can also erase the "erosion" in the host's body, as Old Booker just said, it is impossible to reverse the process of being parasitized, and the result is still death. This new secret treasure can undoubtedly make up for this perfectly!
"It seems that Peter and the others can be saved, but they are only at the Half-Step Seventh Stage, which is obviously beyond the effective range of the secret treasure. But for me, this is not a problem."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and started the upgrade directly.
[Congratulations, your "Sixth-level Secret Treasure: Purification of Purple Crystal" has been upgraded to "Seventh-level Secret Treasure: Purification of Gold Crystal"! ]
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
With the previous experience of upgrading the "Amethyst of Contract", everything was within my expectations.
Then, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and took out the upgraded new lord's secret treasure from his arms.
This is a teardrop-shaped crystal that is slightly smaller than the [God's Stone]. Its smooth and delicate surface exudes a golden glow, and there are faint dark golden magic lines looming, making it look crystal clear.
"Yes, it is worth the efforts that my subordinates and I have made so far."
Lei Xiao looked at the warm gem in his hand, injected a trace of energy into it and began to recognize its master.
[Congratulations, the binding is successful! You have become the new owner of "Purification of Golden Crystal (Seventh Level World)"! ]
After successfully recognizing the master, Lei Xiao immediately opened the new attribute bar to check.
[Name: Golden Crystal of Purification]
[Grade: Seventh-level World (Dark Gold)]
[Owner: Lei Xiao [ID: 0013076067]]
[Function: Purify group targets of level 24 and below that are parasitized by "Corruption", and restore targets with their own consciousness to normal (charging time: hours)]
[Note: This is a secret treasure for lords. It should have appeared randomly after the 12,000th trial of the lord, but it fell into your hands in advance. It cannot be used before it is bound. Once it is successfully bound, only the owner can use it. If the owner dies, this item will disappear and cannot be used by other lords.]
"Not only can it purify targets below level seven, but the charging time is also greatly reduced?"
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, and he nodded directly to Old Booker and said, "Old City Lord, quickly bring the three God Stone Generals to the gate of the temple. Perhaps there is still a chance to save the situation!"
"Really?! I understand, Mr. Hero!"
Seeing Lei Xiao suddenly take out a shining golden gem, Old Booker had no time to wonder and immediately acted according to Lei Xiao's instructions.
The reason why Lei Xiao chose the purification location in the center of the temple was naturally because it was a secret treasure for group purification.
At present, although the "Eclipse" has been completely repelled, there are still a large number of soldiers scattered throughout the city, and even under the ruins. Although it is unknown how large the effective range of the secret treasure is, it can obviously cover a larger area in the city center, allowing other parasitic soldiers to have a chance of survival.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiao appeared at the main entrance of the temple.
Lei Xiao was seen standing in front of the three dying Divine Stone Generals, and he directly injected his magic power into the secret treasure of the new lord in his hand.
The moment Lei Xiao injected magic power, a rich golden energy wave visible to the naked eye suddenly surged out and spread rapidly in all directions.
Wherever the golden energy waves went, everyone felt warm, as if they were under the bright sunshine.
What is even more surprising is that the three divine stone generals were completely covered in golden light, looking sparkling.
When the light faded, the three people's originally bloodless faces actually flushed, and their aura, which had been extremely weak, began to revive.
"This is a miracle! This is a miracle!"
Feeling that the vitality of the three Divine Stone Generals was recovering rapidly, Old Booker could hardly believe his eyes and had an overjoyed look on his face.
It didn't take long for the three Divine Stone Generals to fully recover, and their bodies were emitting the same majestic energy fluctuations as before.
Seeing this, the other soldiers defending the city looked at Lei Xiao with respect turning into admiration, and they almost bowed down at his feet.
You know, in the thousands of years of history of war with "Eclipse", no one has ever been able to purify the parasite of "Eclipse"!
During this process, Lei Xiao also looked very happy.
It was not only because the Divine Stone Generals were pulled back from the brink of death, but also because Lei Xiao discovered that the range of purification almost covered the entire Guanwang City, which was obviously a giant city-level effect!
This undoubtedly means that not only will other soldiers in similar situations in the city regain their vitality, but they will also play an important role in the future!
"Your Excellency the Brave One's life-saving grace will never be forgotten!"
After that, needless to say, the three Divine Stone generals and Old Booker knelt down in front of Lei Xiao to express their gratitude. Lei Xiao took advantage of the remaining time to ask Old Booker and others for some experience in fighting against "Eclipse" based on this battle to defend the city.
In this process, we also collected as much equipment dropped by the parasites as possible.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that this was a rare opportunity to gain experience, so he naturally would not waste every last minute.
It was not until the time to return that Lei Xiao gathered all his subordinates and men around him, while Old Booker and others lined up neatly in front of the temple gate, all of them seeing off Lei Xiao and his party with the highest etiquette and full respect on their faces.
"It is undoubtedly the greatest honor and privilege of our lives to be able to meet His Excellency the Brave and his group!"
At this point, Old Booker obviously thought of something, and said to Lei Xiao anxiously: "By the way, Mr. Brave, there is one more thing!" (End of this chapter)
