On the convoy of the Skywind Commerce Guild.
Dean McKenzie was in a hovering off-road vehicle created by a mechanic, suitable for mountainous terrain, heading out from Spring City.
Usually, exploring a new map with this kind of technologically advanced vehicle should have excited McKenzie.
However, his mood wasn’t exactly soaring at the moment.
He felt a weight in his heart.
The urgency in Anthony’s insistence that he leave gave him an unsettling
feeling.
But he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was wrong.
The only thing he was sure of was that leaving couldn’t be bad for him;
Anthony wouldn’t harm him.
Even disregarding Anthony’s character, his influence and power would make it unnecessary to go to such lengths to harm McKenzie.
But still, leaving like this left McKenzie feeling uneasy and unsettled.
“This isn’t how I imagined leaving, but oh well, not everything in life goes as planned. This isn’t too bad either!
I’ll just go. I couldn’t develop any resources in Spring City anyway. Maybe in a
new map. I’ll take off easier.”
Having just adjusted his mentality and prepared to accept the situation, the convoy suddenly stopped.
Then an ear-piercing alarm sounded.
“What’s going on?”
A foreboding feeling washed over McKenzie and sure enough, a pleasant electronic voice sounded in his vehicle.
“Dear Gold Member, please note, the journey you are on has encountered an attack. The current attack level is level 2. Please be assured that the Commerce Guard Team can guarantee …”
“Attention, the attack level has increased!
The once soothing electronic voice suddenly became shrill.
At the same time, McKenzie noticed that the turmoil outside was escalating.
McKenzie quickly looked out of the window and his heart missed a beat. Outside, countless monsters were charging towards them.
Each monster’s body was heavy with the stench of blood, and their aura was terrifying.
fust seeing them, McKenzie could tell that these monsters would be difficult to
deal with.
He guessed they were at least second-turn level monsters.
The only reassuring factor was the energy shield protecting the convoy on both sides, which should keep the monster horde at bay for now.
However, while McKenzie was watching this scene, a person suddenly descended from a vehicle next to theirs, walked over to McKenzie’s vehicle, and looked through the window at him.
McKenzie’s hair stood on end as he unconsciously made eye contact with the person, whose blood-red eyes sent chills down his spine.
“Not good!”
Alarm bells went off in McKenzie’s mind, and the Commerce Guard’s response was brisk. They launched various attacks on the man, cutting his body apart and killing him, but to no avail.
That’s because the man had already attached a blood-red scroll to McKenzie’s
vehicle.
“Pop!”
The man exploded almost instantaneously, and at the same time, the blood-red scroll lit up. A giant hand appeared out of thin air, grabbed McKenzie’s vehicle, pulled it down, and then disappeared.
At the same time, the monsters that had encircled the guards disappeared in an
instant.
All that was left was the bewildered Guild’s convoy, and the surrounding chaos.
The captain of the guard team arrived at the scene first, his face dark: “Who was taken?”
“A Gold Member!”
Someone immediately responded.
Hearing that it was a Gold Member, the captain’s face noticeably lightened a bit and he seemed somewhat relieved, but he still maintained a professional demeanor, “Even if it were an ordinary member, the Skywind Commerce Guild won’t let this go. We will definitely do everything we can to…”
“Sir, the person was brought by Mr. Ennis Hawkins!
“What? Why didn’t you say so sooner?
Notify the guild immediately, let them dispatch their best investigation team, and also inform Mr. Hawkins!”
The Skywind Commerce Guild over there had become significantly more interested in this because of a certain Ennis Hawkins.
But Dean McKenzie had no idea about this.
He had no way of knowing, nor did he have the mood to do so.
Given his current predicament, how could he care about anything else? At the moment, he was trapped in a hovering off-road vehicle, with a bloody hand rushing towards a certain location outside.
Dean McKenzie didn’t doubt that once this bloody hand stopped, the scenario that awaited him would probably be inadmissible to broadcast.
Therefore, he tried hard to change his current predicament.
But what could he do now?
in the midst of this frantic rush, he couldn’t even stand steadily, let alone
break free.
Dean McKenzie’s Bone Fang couldn’t pierce through the bloody hand.
He tried to use the “Gate of Bone” but couldn’t use it at all.
The white light from the Gate of Bone flickered a few meters away, looking as if it was about to open, but it eventually extinguished.
[You are in a special state and cannot use the Gate of Bone!] Not only could the Gate of Bone not be used, even the Instance Scrolls of the “Goblin Uprising” couldn’t be used either.
“What should I do? What should I do? Should I call for help?”
Obviously, this is not a good solution.
“I’m afraid that even if I scream my throat out, it would be useless.
So, what should I do? Lie down and accept my fate?
Or, should I try something drastic on myself?”
It was at this moment that Dean McKenzie remembered that he had a
“Substitute Doll” tool, which could transfer him to the doll’s location when he was dealt a fatal blow.
This is fantastic.
Where was the doll?
Oh, it was in the Land of Bone!
That was the end, there was no salvation!
Ignoring whether Dean McKenzie would kill himself and whether the Substitute Doll could activate and send Dean McKenzie to the Land of Bone.
Even if it could, the Land of Bone had a principle for its activation: once activated, the Gate of Bone would remain at its original place. Although it was in an invisible and shrunken state, it was still useless.
Dean McKenzie didn’t think that the invisibility of the Land of Bone could deceive an existence of such a high level.
“Am I just supposed to wait for my death?
Dean McKenzie couldn’t help but feel some despair.
But despite the despair, he was still unwilling to give up.
Dean McKenzie’s character wouldn’t allow him to give up until he had completely despaired.
At the moment, the only slightly hopeful things he had were the Gate of Bone and Goblin Uprising Instance Scrolls.
Although both of them had indicated that they couldn’t be used, Dean McKenzie kept trying again and again, hoping there would be a bug.
This was basically a struggle at the verge of death, but what Dean McKenzie didn’t anticipate was that when using the Gate of Bone and the “Goblin Uprising Level 2” scroll at the same time, he actually managed to find a way to survive.
When the white light from the Gate of Bone lit up, the ban imposed by the bloody hand outside seemed to be used up to resist the Gate of Bone, allowing Dean McKenzie to successfully use the “Goblin Uprising Level 2 !
[You have successfully triggered the “Goblin Uprising Level 2” Instance!] Accompanied by the system prompt, a sense of weightlessness came, and Dean McKenzie vanished.
Simultaneously, the bloody hand seemed to sense something, suddenly went into a rampage, clenched hard, and the hovering off-road vehicle was directly crushed…
