After all, Lu Xun had played “Heavenly Dust” for many years and had come across numerous forum posts about hidden plot threads, some of which he couldn’t readily recall due to their age.

Not until MO Guanji triggered this “Corpse Qi Quest” did he remember a hidden mission triggered by a player from a large guild not long after the public test launched.

The reason why this quest was renowned at that time was due to the high difficulty level for the beginner stage. Even with the power of that guild, they couldn’t complete it independently and had to cooperate with another guild to complete this hidden quest.

As per the timeline, this quest should not have been triggered at this stage. After all, the key character in the quest – the Boss, probably hadn’t even appeared yet.

Regardless, Lu Xun was intrigued by this quest.

Initially, he just wanted to ride along with the quest, but finding an

opportunity to dive deeper into it was an unexpected delight.

Although he had no idea how deep he could go, it was certainly better than just riding along, right?

He stood up, preparing to head out of the city with MO Guanji.

Considering his own status, he had to show some poise when freeloading on missions. Therefore, he opened his mouth and said, “This matter is bizarre, far more complex than you believe. I will personally accompany you on this journey.”

He had thought about bringing Murong Yan along, but her presence might affect the reward distribution of the mission.

Furthermore, if they truly encountered a Boss Level monster, Murong Yan wouldn’t be up to the task.

On the contrary, Lu Xun felt confident. Don’t forget, half of his adopted son ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ was still in his Sword Sheath!

When this sword was swung, it was no joke!

After Lu Xun offered to accompany him, MO Guanji started giving more importance to this quest.

“Did I trigger some extraordinary quest?” MO Guanji rubbed his hands, somewhat looking forward to it.

When they reached outside Qingling City, the small hillside was relatively hidden. Lu Xun climbed the hill, while he lagged from a distance.

He felt that he should use his tools wisely. Given his grandeur and supreme sense of fortune, it was better to let MO Guanji scout for potential dangers.

He also decided to use MO Guanji as bait.

Just like fishing, someone has to be the bait, and someone has to reel it in, right?

However, MO Guanji didn’t think much of it. Aren’t all great men like this, preferring their disciples to learn through experience and only stepping in when they can’t handle it?

With the Purple Palace backing him, MO Guanji felt very confident. It was a great feeling indeed to have someone watching over him!

As he walked, he heard a set of scattered noises.

“Here it comes!” MO Guanji exclaimed silently in his heart.

Previously, after he had heard that noise, a zombie suddenly sprang up and tackled him down, twisted his neck, and sucked him dry.

With previous experience, MO Guanji held his longsword tightly and became alert of his surroundings.

“This time I definitely won’t be tackled…”

Before he could finish his thought, he was once again toppled over.

A man with raggedy clothes, long nails, a green face, and scary tusks sprouted from his mouth!

Of course, players could adjust the Monster Reality Level themselves. If they lowered the reality level, a light mosaic would appear, which wouldn’t scare the faint-hearted players.

The players could also adjust their pain. Therefore, they dare makes daring attempts and being crazy because they can be resurrected!

MO Guanji suddenly swung his longsword forward, leaving a trace on the man with the green face and tusks. However, there was no blood, just a strong dark Qi escaping from the trace.

His sharp nails also took the opportunity to scrape across MO Guanji’s chest, instantly wiping out 20% of his health bar!

And his recent sword attack only depleted the monster’s health by less than 5%!

This unequal exchange of damage was ridiculous. Most importantly, he had started to bleed, which would attract more monsters around him!

These half-human, half-zombie monsters were particularly sensitive to blood. MO Guanji could not defeat a single one without the bonus factor of being cornered. The odds truly seemed to be against him.

“Whoosh-” He was caught off guard, and the monster landed a blow on him again.

Watching MO Guanji’s movement, Lu Xun thought he was jumping right into the monster’s claws on his own accord.

This awareness, this operation, if this were a competitive game, he would undoubtedly be handing out kills to the enemy team on a silver platter!

Unlike him, Lu Xun’s operation during his gaming days could only be considered first-tier, but not top-level. However, his awareness was undoubtedly top-tier.

How did the saying go?

– I anticipated your anticipation!

For his first Sword-serving Child, Lu Xun was somewhat disappointed.

From what he could see now, other than extraordinary luck, MO Guanji had no other special features.

Counting on him for future fights would be a mistake. He might only be good for freeloading missions.

“Oh well, one can’t be too greedy. It’s good enough to be able to freeload,” Lu Xun comforted himself in his heart.

“Ssshh-” He heard a clear sound.

“Five monsters lured in at once?” Lu Xun was slightly surprised.

Based on the basic information which appeared before him, the monster called “Semi-corpse,” was level 3. It was a dead person affected by Corpse Energy, and was only capable of frenzied killing, not even comparable to the lowest level zombies.

But for a level 1 and clumsy MO Guanji, it didn’t matter even if it was six, he couldn’t handle one.

Without any hesitation, Lu Xun took decisive action. He got experience points for killing monsters; not taking it when he could was a waste!

He flicked his right hand slightly, releasing a streak of Sword Qi that directly exploded the head of the Semi-Corpse.

There was no blood, only a strong dark Qi oozing out from the exploded head, resembling a dark firework.

“The Purple Palace has made a move!” MO Guanji was somewhat excited. He switched on the recording key, hoping to record this and post it on the forum.

Lu Xun knew MO Guanji’s little scheme. Since this was going to be his debut video on the forum, he started giving it more importance.

The other five Semi-corpses rushed towards them. Lu Xun was calm and composed.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew through the woods, and a sheet of withered leaves fell from the trees. Carried by the wind, the leaves drifted towards the Semi-corpses.

Lu Xun stood there without moving, the veil on his bamboo hat being lifted by the wind.

Five streaks of Sword Qi shot out from his Sword Sheath, wrapping around the yellow fallen leaves.

The wind kept blowing, and the leaves kept drifting.

Every time a leaf passed a Semi-corpse, the monster’s head would explode directly, allowing the black Qi to diffuse in all directions!

One streak of Sword Qi was enough to kill a Semi-corpse instantly, which was too easy for the present Lu Xun.

When the wind blew, leaves fluttered, creating what looked like five black fireworks bursting in the sky!

Throughout all this, the black robed, bamboo hat-wearing Lu Xun didn’t move a muscle.

The wind belongs to the sky. He borrowed it to blow, yet it stirred up a worldly scene.
