Chapter 56 – Is the First Kill team done?
Scarlet Flame Mountain had a total of thirteen Gates of Sealing.
Nine of them were Bronze Level, three were Silver Level.
There was only one Gold Level Gate of Sealing.
It was located at the Octagonal Altar.
This was also where Moonlit Dance had previously shattered the Demon-Suppressing Crystal Pillar.
The moment the system gave the notification.
Someone on Scarlet Flame Mountain saw faint, dark streams of light rising from certain places, converging towards a spot on the mountain.
These places where the light emerged were the locations of the other Gates of Sealing.
And the place where the light converged was the Gold Level Gate of Sealing on the Octagonal Altar!
As a result, many people began heading towards the Octagonal Altar.
Especially after receiving the system notification.
More and more people were heading to the altar.
"Guild Master, the Gold Level Gate of Sealing will open in 15 minutes!"
At the foot of Scarlet Flame Mountain, the white-haired mage All Laws Return to One said to Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama beside him.
"I know."
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama frowned slightly.
He saw that not far away, members of other guilds were already heading up the mountain.
Meanwhile, his own members, though still clearing monsters, were getting distracted and taking heavy damage.
It seemed that everyone was distracted by the system notification.
"Focus! Do you want to die and respawn in Leaving Fire City?"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama scolded harshly.
Then, he murmured softly, "With the other Gates of Sealing closed, no new monsters will spawn. We can finish off the remaining monsters here quickly."
"Guild Master, should we go?" All Laws Return to One asked.
"Take some people with me to the Gate of Sealing, the rest stay here to finish up."
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama quickly made a decision.
...
Similarly, other guilds, whether it was Domineering Madman, the guild master of Kingdom of Heaven;
Or Qi Sha, the vice guild master of Immortal Legend;
Or even the Crown Prince, the guild master of Royal Dynasty;
All sent some members to the Gate of Sealing.
Even some smaller clubs, like Xiongtu Club, under the suggestion of Xiongtu Cold Wind, brought two teams to check out the situation.
Many forces converged towards the Gate of Sealing.
For a moment, the situation became turbulent, with undercurrents surging.
...
Scarlet Flame Mountain, Octagonal Altar.
A massive Gate of Sealing stood here.
Many players had already arrived nearby.
However, everyone stood at a distance to avoid the demonic aura spreading from the gate.
At this moment, everyone wore expressions of shock and suspicion.
Because just a moment ago, a floating, transparent figure had entered the Gate of Sealing!
"Did a woman just float in?"
"She didn't seem like a player. Do you think the sudden opening of the Gold Level Gate has something to do with her?"
"Who knows..."
People around were still discussing.
Suddenly!
A tall figure, holding a staff, resolutely walked through the demonic aura and entered the Gate of Sealing.
This person was Jiang Chen.
The scene fell silent for two seconds.
Then, even more heated discussions erupted.
"I didn't look closely, was that a player who just went in?"
"Yes, it was a Priest!"
"Didn't you notice his ID? It was 'Mortal World'!"
"Mortal World? The great Priest from the First Kill team?!"
"Wow... he's the idol of us small Priests!"
"Not just you, which Priest doesn't want to be like him, healing the beautiful experts in the team?"
"But why did he run into the Gate of Sealing? It's full of demonic aura, isn't he just going to die in there?"
...
A group of people were filled with shock and confusion, discussing fervently.
At this moment.
The bosses of various guilds, bringing their members, had already arrived one after another.
Many people heard the discussions of the players here.
"Guild Master, they said that 'Mortal World' just ran into the Gate of Sealing!"
All Laws Return to One immediately informed Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama.
"I heard!"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama nodded, his eyes also filled with confusion and doubt.
Not far away.
On the Kingdom of Heaven guild's side.
"Boss, someone just ran in, it was the Priest from the First Kill team."
A warrior pointed at the Gate of Sealing in front, speaking to Domineering Madman beside him.
"Why... to die?"
Domineering Madman squinted his eyes, murmuring softly.
Similarly.
Xiongtu Club's captain, Xiongtu Cold Wind, also rubbed his chin, puzzled, "Why do that?"
"Maybe he doesn't know how dangerous it is inside the Gate of Sealing?" a Xiongtu member speculated.
"Are you stupid or is he stupid?"
Xiongtu Cold Wind glanced at him, "The First Kill team, don't they have that level of judgment? There's only one possibility, something forced him to go in!"
But what could it be?
Risking his character's life to go in.
Xiongtu Cold Wind couldn't figure it out.
"Why think so much, the First Kill team's member dying inside is definitely good for us."
An ID called "Crown Prince" had a faint smile on his face as he spoke to the people beside him.
He was the guild master of Royal Dynasty.
Then, he said with some regret, "It's a pity it's just the Priest from the team. It would be best if it was the Knight who went in."
...
At the same time.
Qing Ying, Tao Xiaoyao, and Moonlit Dance were all stunned.
They never expected Jiang Chen to run straight into the Gate of Sealing without saying a word.
For a moment.
None of them could react.
"Brother Mortal World, what is he doing?"
Qing Ying asked in a daze.
"I don't know..."
Tao Xiaoyao frowned and shook her head.
"You don't know either?"
Moonlit Dance was even more puzzled.
She now knew that Jiang Chen was the strongest in the team.
Everyone else listened to him.
His every word and action represented the entire team.
But now, he had run into the Gate of Sealing.
The team members were all in a state of confusion.
"Don't think too much, Xiaoyao!"
Qing Ying, with her straightforward nature, shouted directly.
"Okay!"
Tao Xiaoyao nodded.
Then, the two of them walked directly towards the altar.
Under countless shocked gazes.
The two of them walked through the demonic aura and entered the Gate of Sealing!
"Are they... all crazy?"
Moonlit Dance's expression froze, her pupils trembling.
Then.
She first fell into deep thought, quickly showing a conflicted expression, and finally a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Besides him... I can't think of anyone else who can fight the Gold Level BOSS."
Saying this, Moonlit Dance also stepped into the Gate of Sealing.
...
This time.
Everyone present saw it.
The other two members of the First Kill team also entered the Gate of Sealing.
Although the trigger of the full-server quest, Moonlit Dance, also entered the Gate of Sealing, in their eyes, this became a trivial matter.
Everyone was frantically discussing the First Kill trio.
...
Also present were YouNet Feminine and YouNet Masculine, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
The two found a perfect vantage point, staring intently at the Gate of Sealing in front of them!
Before long.
"Monsters are coming out!"
Someone exclaimed.
From the Gate of Sealing, monsters began to emerge.
[Demon Lizard: LV19]
...
"It's actually level 19 monsters, which means the BOSS inside is a level 19 Gold Level BOSS!"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama's eyes flashed with a strange light, sneering, "The First Kill team is seeking their own death!"
"Guild Master, they are all very strong. Even if they can't win, they have a chance to retreat safely." All Laws Return to One suddenly said.
"Hmm?"
Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama raised an eyebrow, "You reminded me!"
He immediately took out a white crystal shard from his backpack, playing with it in his hand.
"Go use it, getting tainted by demonic aura is fine. You won't be participating in the fight later, the guild will compensate you."
Saying this, he handed the crystal shard to an Assassin beside him.
The Assassin, after receiving the crystal shard, quickly checked its information:
[Demon Suppression Shard: Can temporarily close the Gate of Sealing, duration 5 minutes.]
"I understand, Guild Master!"
The Assassin immediately understood what he needed to do and headed towards the Octagonal Altar...
[Due to a player using the "Demon Suppression Shard," the Gate of Sealing (Gold Level) is temporarily closed, duration 5 minutes.]
The system notification appeared.
Everyone was shocked to see.
The massive Gate of Sealing was slowly closing.
...
"Is someone trying to kill the First Kill team?"
"Hmph, it's someone from the Heavenly Guild... I've seen that Assassin before."
"If they don't come out, they're done for!"
Many players were discussing, especially some small teams without a guild, they were getting anxious.
However.
The Gate of Sealing eventually closed!
What was even more surprising.
They saw more people running to the altar.
And not just one!
[Due to a player using the "Demon Suppression Shard," the Gate of Sealing (Gold Level) is temporarily closed, duration 10 minutes.]
[Due to a player using the "Demon Suppression Shard," the Gate of Sealing (Gold Level) is temporarily closed, duration 15 minutes.]
[Due to a player...]
...
"They're all kicking them while they're down, so disgusting!"
"The First Kill team is done for!"
Seeing the system notifications, the solo players sighed.
...
"It seems everyone has the same idea..."
On the Royal Dynasty guild's side, Crown Prince held two crystal shards in his hand.
"Let's add to the chaos."
He handed one shard to the person beside him, smiling, "Refusing all guilds, this day was bound to come, just didn't expect it to be so soon!"
"It's quite interesting, isn't it?"
