Chaos Lord: Infinite Guidance

Chapter 37 Killing the Messenger and Intercepting Intelligence

"A strange fire duck has appeared!"

Wang Jue was greatly encouraged.

In his opinion, the Strange Fire Duck is the BOSS!

The bigger the rewards, the better!

Wang Jue quickly looked south, carefully searching for the figure of the Fire Duck Messenger.

A moment later, Wang Jue saw the [Fire Duck Messenger].

It was actually quite eye-catching, its size comparable to that of a water buffalo, both fat and strong, with three thin red feathers on its head. Surprisingly, it couldn't fly, but instead waddled along the ground, its feet flaming with fire, kicking up dust and sparks as it ran. It was unclear whether its soles were naturally on fire or ignited by friction with the ground.

"What a clever fire duck messenger!"

Wang Jue acted decisively, shouting, "Mad Dog King, go down and snipe! Invincible Eight Directions, switch targets and leave the Fire Duck Messenger behind!"

"Grandpa is asking you, money or your life!"

Upon receiving the order, Mad Dog King leaped off the city wall, brandishing his twin swords as he charged fiercely towards the distant Fire Duck Messenger.

Bafang Bubai responded immediately. With a cold and arrogant expression, he flicked his sleeve and launched the Red Apricot Flying Knife.

Wang Jue saw a red light fly out from Bafang Bubai's sleeve and quickly disappear into the distance. Then, the [Fire Duck Messenger], trailing dust and sparks, suddenly swayed, but it didn't fall and continued running at full speed.

"Hit!"

Wang Jue was no longer in a hurry to verify the efficacy of the Life Fruit; he stared intently at the [Fire Duck Messenger] below.

Bafang Bubai continued his attack, wielding one Red Apricot Flying Knife after another, causing the Fire Duck Messenger to tremble and sway.

The advantage of long-range attacks becomes fully apparent at this point.

Thus, Bafang Bubai threw out nine Red Apricot Flying Knives, and the head of the Fire Duck Messenger looked like it was covered in flowers before Mad Dog King rushed up to it.

Then, Mad Dog King executed a swift and powerful slide tackle, slashing with both swords!

With a whoosh, the Fire Duck Messenger spread its wings, stretched its neck upwards, paused for two seconds, and then crashed to the ground, turning into white light, which then condensed into a small treasure chest.

It turned out that Mad Dog King landed the final blow.

With a cold and arrogant expression, Bafang Bubai continued to throw flying knives at the other little fire ducks.

Bandhu jumped up and said, "Taking down the BOSS, my wife is amazing!"

"Indeed impressive, the throwing knife is unbeatable!"

Audron stared at the treasure chest that had landed, clearly curious.

Wang Jue then received a system notification: "Ding! You have intercepted an intelligence message after defeating the Strange Fire Duck [Fire Duck Messenger]. Please check it!"

Without a word, Wang Jue quickly ran down the city wall and soon arrived at the treasure chest dropped by the Fire Duck Messenger. He lifted the lid of the treasure chest and received another system notification.

"Ding! You have intercepted one of Colonel Fire Duck's plea for help. Colonel Fire Duck is one of the four demons under the command of the Fallen Flame Blood Dragon Oga, the Brutal Dragon. During the years that the Fallen Flame Blood Dragon Oga slept, he was ordered to guard the Blood Prison, taking pleasure in torturing the Holy Light Grand Knight Domkaka imprisoned there. This has been going on for thirty years now..."

Not long ago, the arrogant Holy Judgment Council blasted open the dimensional gate with the holy light of heaven. The powerful holy light reached the Crimson Abyss, not only awakening the sleeping Blood Dragon, but also allowing the Holy Light Knight Domkaka to absorb dimensional power and thus recover his strength.

At this moment, the Holy Light Grand Knight Domkaka had broken free of his cage and was about to escape from the Blood Prison. The situation was extremely urgent, and the panicked Colonel Fire Duck had no choice but to seek help from his companion, the Three-Headed Dog. This was his first plea for help!

"Ding! Collecting all three letters requesting assistance will trigger the event 'Colonel Fire Duck's Wrath'."

"Ding, reminder: [Colonel Fire Duck's Wrath] can only be triggered once. Once one player triggers it, other players will not be able to trigger it again."

"Ding! The 500 yuan that was attached to the letter has also been intercepted and automatically deposited into your storage space."

"500 yuan plus a quest item, not bad!"

Wang Jue nodded, and without lingering, beckoned Mad Dog King back to the city wall of the compound.

After climbing back onto the city wall, Wang Jue used a Life Berry on the Ancestral Giant Cat Saber-toothed Tiger. This was the same as using medicines such as Golden Wound Medicine and Hemostatic Powder. The saber-toothed tiger and other troop units themselves do not use medicines; the player needs to use them on them.

The effects of the Life Berry were immediate. The ancestral giant cat saber-toothed tiger, which had looked exhausted, immediately stood up with renewed vigor and then meowed fiercely, swatting at the nearby little fire duck with its paws.

Seeing this, Wang Jue felt much more at ease. The [Duck Killing Competition] would last for 24 hours, and with the Life Berries, he no longer needed to worry about his subordinates' efficiency in killing enemies being reduced due to fatigue.

About an hour later, another system broadcast sounded in the sky: "Ding, please be aware that a strange fire duck [Fire Duck Messenger] has appeared in the due east of the territory. You can intercept intelligence information after defeating it."

"Here comes another one, the second one!"

Wang Jue immediately looked east, and before he could even see the Fire Duck Messenger, he issued the order: "Mad Dog King, head east, find and kill the Fire Duck Messenger!"

Mad Dog King recited a line and immediately took action.

A moment later, Wang Jue saw the second [Fire Duck Messenger].

Its appearance was completely different from the first one. It was a very muscular platypus, somewhat like an ostrich, with a long neck and legs. It had a small red flame on its head and was running forward with its head outstretched. Judging from its appearance, it was running more than twice as fast as the previous messenger.

"Invincible in all directions, swift-knife fire duck messenger!"

Wang Jue shouted.

Bafang Bubai was currently using [Flying Flowers and Falling Leaves], but upon hearing this, he immediately stopped, turned around, and switched to [A Branch of Red Apricot].

brush!

The invincible throwing knife was still effective. Even though the Fire Duck Messenger was fast this time, the Red Apricot Throwing Knife still accurately nailed to its forehead.

Then came the second cut, the third cut, the fourth cut...

When the Undefeated Eight Directions unleashed its fifth strike, Mad Dog King met the Fire Duck Messenger head-on. He also used a sliding slash to stun the Fire Duck Messenger for two seconds.

However, the Fire Duck Messenger was not dead yet; it was the sixth throwing knife of the Eight Directions Invincible that finally killed it.

The Fire Duck Messenger also dropped a treasure chest after it died. Wang Jue opened it and immediately received a system notification: "Ding, you have intercepted Colonel Fire Duck's second plea for help!"

"Ding! The random small cultural building blueprints that were included with the letter have also been intercepted and have been automatically added to your storage space."

"You intercepted an architectural blueprint?"

Wang Jue was overjoyed and quickly opened his storage space, where he soon saw the [Random Small Cultural Building Blueprint].

[Random Small Cultural Building Blueprint: Special Item, Event Item, Bound Item. Bound to Xuanzhou Territory. Use to randomly construct a small cultural building within Xuanzhou territory.]

"That's interesting!"

Wang Jue quickly returned to the courtyard with the [Random Small Cultural Building Blueprint], and used it a moment later in the east of the fourth courtyard.

"Ding, using random small-scale cultural building blueprints, calculating... Ding, congratulations on obtaining a propaganda jade disc, territory culture attribute +2!"

What appeared before Wang Jue was a white jade disc, seven or eight meters long. The disc had a base, was about three meters high, and was made of a single piece with sharp edges. It was very simple and clean.

"Promoting the jade disc..."

Wang Jue muttered to himself and curiously began to examine the attribute information of the small cultural building in front of him.

Meanwhile, in the Fire Dragon Kingdom, Gu Dali was laughing maniacally. Watching the slender [Fire Duck Messenger] slowly fall in the flames, he chuckled, "Finally defeated this Fire Duck Messenger! Got the second plea for help! Once I get the third, the storyline will trigger!"

In Yufeng, a village-level territory, Qian Xiaohua opened the treasure chest dropped by the [Fire Duck Messenger], then nodded and said, "Not bad, the second plea for help is in hand. Now we just wait for the third one to appear!"

In the Bitter Realm, under the watchful eyes of all the players, Li Kuangji opened the second treasure chest dropped by the [Fire Duck Messenger]...

In Stormy Territory, Cha Tae-jae watched as the second Fire Duck Messenger was shot and laughed triumphantly.

"Great Domain," Zhao Xuanlong said in a deep voice, "Next comes the competition. Whoever is fastest and receives the third plea for help first will get to monopolize the storyline! Hahaha, that person will definitely be me!"
