Legends of the Boundless Sword Chapter 3

In the small blue brick house, candlelight flickered.

A young man in a white shirt pushed up his glasses and looked around. He lowered his voice and said calmly, "My memory is intact. There are no missing parts."

The gentle young man seemed to be mumbling to himself, organizing his thoughts, or explaining something to the boy who lived under the same roof: "From the bedroom to here, I have been awake the whole time."

"Combined with the text that appeared in front of me earlier, the selection criteria for time travel are 'not willing to be ordinary, and longing for extraordinary power'..."

"Hey! Information about the mission, the Lord, and the players should have appeared in your mind, right?"

Hearing this, the corners of the hedgehog-haired boy's mouth rose wildly, and he couldn't suppress it: "Yes! Brother, my name is Liam Hu, a high school student, my grades are not good or bad, but my strengths are that I have strong adaptability and I am very optimistic!"

"First, I plan to do my best to complete the task given by the Lord God, survive today, get the reward, learn the set of "Cang Ming Sword Technique", master the supernatural power, and then show off in front of my classmates!"

"Yes! It's decided! I, Liam Hu, must become the most powerful transcendent on Earth!"

Let mom and dad live a good life and be proud of themselves!

The gentle young man did not comment, but introduced himself in a calm tone: "Nathan, a single-player game anchor, has a good reaction speed, is good at thinking and analysis, and has good Japanese, Russian, and English skills."

"If the Lord God does not forbid it, after completing this mission, I would like to hand over the practice method rewarded by the mission to my motherland in exchange for official support."

"If the plan is successful, then our survival rate and mission completion rate in future missions will be greatly improved."

The young man Liam Hu was stunned when he heard this, his face full of confusion and complicated expression.

Nathan said to himself: "The information that can be confirmed now is that the Lord God has given players the ability to communicate without obstacles. I just said a few words in Chinese and Russian, and you seem to understand everything."

Liam Hu was stunned for a moment, and said unconvincedly: "Is there a possibility that I already know Russian..."

Halfway through his words, the hedgehog-haired boy said angrily: "Okay, I won't argue anymore. You have a strong brain! Your reaction speed is really fast! I recognize you!"

Hearing this, Nathan glanced at him in surprise: "Since our tasks are exactly the same, there is no conflict of interest, but a teamwork relationship, so..."

"In the next day, we should at least unite, learn from each other's strengths and make joint efforts. Do you agree with my judgment?"

Since the mission requires survival for one day, this world named "The Last Sword Master" by the Lord God is definitely full of dangers.

If one more person contributes, the survival rate will naturally increase.

Hearing this, the young man Liam Hu was about to nod, but the heavy stone door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The man was dressed in a pitch-black ancient-style warrior outfit, a blue jade belt, and black cloud combat boots. He had a long sword slung across his left side and a dark blue pistol on his right side.

The left sleeve is empty, probably because an arm is missing.

The boy had black hair and black eyes, flawless fair skin, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a heroic appearance. He looked to be only one or two years older than Liam Hu.

only...

The cold and murderous aura all over his body made him look like an executioner who killed people without hesitation.

Such a temperament made Nathan have a stress reaction the moment he saw him, like a mouse seeing a cat, his whole body tensed up and he became nervous unconsciously.

"Senior?"

Liam Hu smiled and took a few steps forward, came to the one-armed boy, and said in a familiar manner: "You are so handsome! Did you exchange the bloodline of some mythical creature? For example, vampires, elves, succubi, etc..."

"Sorry, sorry, I was just too excited!"

"No matter what, Senior, please give me more advice in the future! I will work hard to complete the mission, become stronger, and try not to drag down any teammates!"

Julian Wu looked calm.

He glanced at the two newcomers and said in a calm and indifferent tone: "My name is Julian Wu, you can call me [Forerunner]."

"I'd like to state in advance that although I am the temporary captain of this team according to the Lord's judgment, I do not want to join forces with anyone and would rather act alone."

"This is a personal habit and has nothing to do with your ability."

"---I don't want to see my companions die tragically in front of me anymore, that's all."

The current population of the earth is about 7.8 billion, and China has a population of 1.4 billion. Two compatriots have come after six summons. From a mathematical point of view, this is reasonable.

Even so, if "players" want to get preferential treatment, they have to rely on their own efforts.

If the two newcomers cannot demonstrate enough value and potential, Julian Wu will not be their babysitter.

Either disqualify the players and kick them back to Earth, or happily collect their bodies and inherit the estate.

There is probably no third outcome.

After hearing this, Nathan said thoughtfully: "I understand. Liam Hu and I know nothing about this world now, so..."

"Senior Pioneer, since you are unwilling to form a team, you have come here specially. Is it because of the Lord God's guidance mission?"

You don't want to see your companions die tragically in front of you, so you simply block your heart, decide to act alone, and no longer accept any new companions?

With just a few words, Julian Wu portrayed himself as a lone wolf veteran who suffered some psychological trauma after his team was wiped out and all his teammates died - a strong loser is more likely to be impressive than a perfect winner.

But such logic cannot easily convince Nathan.

Although Nathan appeared polite on the surface, deep down in his heart he had never let down his guard against Julian Wu.

But that kid Liam Hu...

How did he determine that Julian Wu was a senior?

Just because the equipment combination of longsword + pistol is a clue, it is totally insufficient!

At the very least, Nathan could not rule out the possibility that "Julian Wu, as a native of the world of "The Last Sword Master", killed the players and seized the equipment."

Speaking of which, although Liam Hu may seem like a simpleton at first glance, if you think about it carefully, this guy has not made any wrong judgments from the beginning to now...

Julian Wu praised: "It is indeed much easier to deal with smart people."

It is more convincing to let the other party draw conclusions based on the existing clues than to speak directly, so...

"Since you've guessed it, let's get straight to the point!"

At this point, Julian Wu paused for a moment and said leisurely: "The Last Sword Master is a mutant martial arts world, where you can get real supernatural powers."

"It may be impossible to burn mountains and boil seas, pick stars and grab the moon, but it is possible to ride the wind and fly in the sky!"

"also..."

"Based on my experience, there are no text traps in the Lord's quest prompts, and there is no precedent for killing players. If the quest fails, you can first look for the reason in yourself."

"Let's get back to the point!"

"In this world, there exists a monster called Sword Skeleton."

"They have greater speed, strength, and combat skills than ordinary humans. They do not have complete intelligence. They are driven by the killing instinct and are eager to fight. They will attack all humans indiscriminately. Even if their brains and hearts are pierced by arrows, crossbows, or bullets, they will not die."

"【Sword Skeletons】 are highly contagious. If you are cut by their sword limbs, you may gradually transform into a new Sword Skeleton."

"Their weaknesses are the sword limbs. The weapons that appear to be held in the hands are actually the true bodies of the sword skeletons."

"Breaking the sword limbs or cutting off the sword skeleton's hands can eliminate those monsters."

When Liam Hu heard this, he began to swallow his saliva.

Isn't this thing a bit too powerful?

Can a newbie "player" like me really escape successfully from this monster?

"Senior, what you just said was 'mutated martial arts world', not 'apocalyptic world'."

The elegant young man keenly caught the blind spot and immediately asked: "So, there must be a 'sure way to win'. As long as you master it, even ordinary people don't have to worry about the threat of the sword skeleton. You can complete normal farming operations, survive in the cracks, and successfully survive, right?"

Nathan pushed up his glasses, becoming more and more confident: "The key to breaking the deadlock, the real way out, lies in the two key words 'day' and 'night' in the task prompt!"

Julian Wu glanced at him and said calmly, "Follow me! I'll take you to broaden your horizons."

As soon as he finished speaking, the one-armed boy stepped over the threshold and walked into the night.
