Rumors Speak Louder Than Words

Flame Missiles! The Sword of the Fallen Angel launched a fireball, but it was blocked by the enemy's shield. Although the shield was shattered, the soldier behind it was unharmed.

"Damn it, how are we supposed to fight this? Over a hundred people, we can't possibly win." A commotion broke out in the team.

"Don't be afraid, use AOE attacks!" Xiao Yu said, and a level 3 Plague Wind was already unleashed. This Plague Wind had a fairly large range, and although its damage was a bit weak, it could significantly weaken a large group of enemies.

A gust of hot, foul-smelling wind blew towards the enemy, and the soldiers, upon inhaling the stench, immediately began to cough.

"Great God of Order, grant me your divine power and save your people from the harm of evil spirits and sorcery!" Mass Purify! A flash of white light appeared in the crowd, and the soldiers of the Kern Kingdom were instantly restored.

Holy crap, there are priests?

Now Xiao Yu was completely helpless. In the blink of an eye, the other side had already rushed over.

"Charge, everyone!" Xiao Yu immediately cast a Bone Armor and a Blade of Curse on himself, then charged into the crowd and unleashed his full power. Death Ripple, Negative Energy Shockwave, and various area-of-effect skills were perfectly unleashed into the crowd, and he managed to kill more than a dozen enemy soldiers before he died.

However, he ultimately could not escape death.

In the end, almost the entire group was wiped out, with only a few ghosts escaping.

After being resurrected in the Great Graveyard, Xiao Yu was quite frustrated. This job change quest was too difficult. It would take hundreds of people to even get in. The problem was that even if Xiao Yu had strong appeal, it was unlikely that he could gather hundreds of people to go with him.

In fact, let alone several hundred people, even after wiping out that wave, those twenty people from before wouldn't be able to regroup.

"What's wrong? Even the great master Xiao is stumped by this task?" Chenghong Moli asked Xiao Yu with a smile.

She had successfully escaped, and seeing Xiao Yu suffer a setback seemed to be something she was enjoying.

Xiao Yu shook his head and laughed, "It was just a wipe once. Back when I led raids, we wiped dozens or even hundreds of times, but I always managed to complete the mission and clear the dungeon. Don't worry, I have my own clever plan."

Chenghong Moli seemed somewhat skeptical. "I admit you're great at games, but this time I really can't figure out how you're going to complete the mission. It's impossible to complete, at least not in a short time."

But wait a minute, who says it's impossible? Xiao Yu suddenly had an idea—though it was a bit underhanded.

He suddenly looked up at the Chenghong Moli and asked with a smile, "How about we make a bet? What if I finish it today?"

"I can promise you one thing, anything as long as it doesn't break the law, but what if you can't do it today?"

I'll promise you the same thing in return, anything as long as it doesn't break the law.

"Alright, it's a deal. I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve." Chenghong Moli grinned mischievously, clearly already fantasizing about what she'd do after winning the bet.

Xiao Yu ignored Chenghong Moli and directly called Big Water Cunt over, "Big Water Cunt, there's a difficult task for you to complete. I need you to spread a message. Come closer."

Leaning close to Big Water Cunt's ear, Xiao Yu revealed his plan.

The more Big Water Cunt listened, the brighter his eyes became. "Damn, boss, you're so talented!"

Seeing this, Chenghong Moli felt a sense of unease. Had she miscalculated?

Before long, news spread among the Undead players in the Burying Ground. This news was about the Blasphemers job quest. The hidden advancement of Blasphemers had already spread Burying Ground, but no one knew how to do it. Now, however, some clues were obtained from those mysterious players. It turned out that the key to the Blasphemers job quest was in that great tomb.

An NPC called the Blasphemers will randomly spawn in the Great Tomb. Talking to him will allow you to receive a special quest.

The people spreading this information all spoke with great conviction, as if they had witnessed it firsthand.

Few people would believe what others say, but the person who said this was Big Water Cunt. Almost every Undead player in the Burying Ground knew that this guy was a Blasphemers and had even joined Xiao Yu's small team, so a large number of people immediately believed him.

Half an hour later, the densely packed army of Undead almost filled the outside of the Great Tomb. Although only a small portion believed the rumors spread by the Big Water Cunt, there were still over a thousand people. Chenghong Moli stared in disbelief at the countless Undead filling the pit, feeling a deep sense of regret.

"See? It's all settled." Xiao Yu said smugly to Chenghong Moli.

"But what if they rush in and find they can't also be Blasphemers?"

"What can we do? It's not like I spread those rumors. I don't care what they think. Besides, this is a game world, lady. Everyone's here to have fun. All sorts of rumors circulate every day. If they find out they've been tricked, they can only accept their bad luck. Besides, even if we can't get the hidden quests, killing a few NPCs to earn some experience and equipment isn't a complete waste."

"And don't worry, even if they come to me for an explanation, I have my own clever plan."

Charge! Kill! With a shout, hordes of Undead swarmed forward. Thousands of Undead soldiers surged towards the tomb's stone walls like a tidal wave, engaging the guards in battle. The tomb's stone walls were just ordinary walls, and in no time, the gates were breached. The hundreds of guards had no time to react before the Undead army annihilated them like vegetables being chopped into melons.

"How dare you! This is the resting place of the dead! You vile Undead, all of you, get out of my way!" The one guarding the entrance to the tomb was the Priest from before, the one who was the God of Order. He seemed to be of a pretty high rank.

Faced with the surging tide of the Undead, they immediately cast a Mass Exorcism.

A holy light swept across, and swathes of the Undead turned to Ashes under the power of the Mass Exorcism.

It's safe to say that high-level Priest have an incredibly satisfying time killing low-level Undead.

However, the players' enthusiasm is boundless, and they still flocked to the game despite heavy casualties.

The high-ranking Priest of the God of Order was ultimately swallowed up by the vast sea of people. After performing the rites for the Undead hundreds of the dead, he was cut down and fell to the ground. It is unknown what he dropped, but it caused a commotion and a scramble for it.

Xiao Yu didn't go looking for trouble with the priest; instead, he led a few people with him straight into the Great Graveyard.

Many other Undead entered with them, but what they found inside surprised them. The Great Graveyard was a maze-like place with a rather complicated layout.

Fortunately, as Blasphemers, one can use divine magic.

"Gods, please guide me in the right direction and tell me the location of my goal!" (Insight)

A blue light appeared ahead, and Xiao Yu led the group toward the direction indicated by the light.

The underground area was also full of traps and mechanisms, and several more people died along the way, but fortunately, none of the five core personnel were injured.

Half an hour later, the group finally found the location indicated by the eerie light: a huge stone coffin in a secret chamber.

On either side of the sarcophagus are two rows of smaller sarcophagi, which should be those of Emperor Odyssey and his guards.

Thank goodness, we finally found it. This Emperor Odyssey was really hard to find.

Looking at the coffin in front of him, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "Then all I need to do is use the scroll on this guy, right?"

Thinking this, he called to everyone to push open the coffin lid with force. A corpse that had already decayed into white bones appeared before him. Emperor Odyssey was still wearing the armor he had worn in life, with a crown on his head and his sword beside him. Xiao Yu tore open the magic scroll in his hand and cast the magic on the corpse.

A beam of green light landed on the corpse, but the corpse seemed to resist the magic. Suddenly, the green light exploded, instantly engulfing Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu noticed that the scenery around him was beginning to distort, and he heard a series of murmuring voices in his ears, which seemed to be the voices from King Odyssey's memories before his death.

"For the glory of the empire, these traitors must be eradicated..."

"The gods cannot save the empire; their commands bring destruction..."

"Perhaps I will die here today, but the empire will endure forever..."

As the whispering voices faded away, Xiao Yu suddenly found himself standing in the middle of a battlefield.

A gloomy fog hung in the air, like a scene from an old movie, as the soldiers of the Rhine Empire fought like phantoms against enemies who were also like phantoms.

Xiao Yu was startled. He was all too familiar with the scene around him. It was clearly the battlefield where he first entered the game's Survivor mission, the battle where Odyssey died.

Damn, I knew it wouldn't be that simple.

Xiao Yu checked the map and found that it was called "The Odyssey's Memory".

I checked the taskbar.

The content of the quest "Return of the Dead" has been changed.

[Return of the Dead: Help Emperor Odyssey victory in the war within his memories.]
