Chapter 51: King Garuda’s Notes

Demon King's Codex – King Garuda's Notes

'I wonder why Lord Demon Saint did this. The war between Gods and Demons a thousand years ago was clearly victorious. Why did Lord Demon Saint hesitate? Lord Demon Saint was immortal, how did he die? And even his golden body was destroyed?

To find out the reason, I travelled across the mountains and ridges in search of the truth behind the fall of the Demon Saint. In the end, according to the clues, I came to the Hidden Summit Cliff. Huh? What is that? It seems like a big formation, it also seems to be an altar, and it also seems to be a space independent of this world... No, I have to go in and see...'

　　...

Jiang Ming flipped through the Demon King's Codex and his eyes gleamed in excitement. Although the notes within the codex were too vague and intermittent, he knew that the Hidden Summit Cliff was far more complex than he had imagined. Huge array? An altar? Independent space? It seemed that there were many secrets hidden in the Hidden Summit Cliff.

He put away the Demon King's Codex into his inventory, and he unknowingly arrived at the level 4 fire frog area.

Although his current level was only 0, with the two equipment Reaper's Scythe and Reaper's Boots, his attack was far higher than many players at level 4 or 5.

However, he did not use the Reaper's Scythe because there were many players here. Once he took out the Reaper's Scythe, it would definitely attract the attention of several players. After all, many people were already aware of the Reaper's Scythe that he held during the battle in the Demon Wolf Valley.

He couldn't use the Reaper's Scythe, so he could only rush towards a fire frog with his bare hands.

"F*ck, without the Reaper's Scythe, my attack is so sh*tty. I can barely break the defense."

Jiang Ming looked at the damage he had caused and couldn't help but curse. He began to miss the scene of his massive killing in the Demon Wolf Valley.

Although his attack was low now, he had the Reaper's Boots equipped on his feet. Not to mention his movement speed, his attack speed was already very high, dealing three or four punches in a second, which was equivalent to more than twenty points of damage.

The moving speed of the fire frog was like the speed of a turtle in front of Jiang Ming, it could not touch Jiang Ming at all.

Although he did not use the Reaper's Scythe, the scene, where he was fighting alone with the fire frog with his bare hands, still attracted the attention of many players. At first, many players pointed at him and ridiculed him, but after noticing Jiang Ming's moving speed and manoeuvre, they all shut up. Instead, the expression on their faces turned serious.

"Is this player a fool or an expert? If he's not a fool, then why isn't he equipped with any weapon or equipment? Even if he's level 0, 10 bronze coins are enough to buy a piece of equipment with no attributes. That's at least better than being bare-handed. If he's an expert, then won't it be easy for him to get a good weapon? Or has he just entered the game?"

"I think you're the fool. Didn't you notice the shoes he's wearing? With his current speed, those shoes should be at least bronze equipment. Since he has such good equipment, he must not have just entered the game. It looks like he wants to create his own skill, so he took off all his attack equipment and came here to practice."

"Wow~ Such a handsome backflip, such a cool roundhouse kick, he must be an expert in real life!"

　　...

Jiang Ming disregarded the comments from nearby players. Seeing the fire frog jumping up again, sticking out its tongue and lashing towards him, he turned his body and kicked the fire frog fiercely on its face with a roundhouse kick, sending it a few meters away. The fire frog that Jiang Ming had fought with for so long fell on the ground and didn't get up. Instead, it exploded and dropped a mahogany sword.

"Hehe, just what I need."

Jiang Ming walked forward, picked up the mahogany sword and equipped it.

Actually, he regretted a little selling all the equipment that he had been storing for a long time, as he could only use the lowest level mahogany sword now.

After picking up the mahogany sword, he touched the fire frog with his palm. The fire frog was deconstructed into several materials, which was then put into his inventory.

After killing one fire frog, his eyes fell on the other fire frog.

With the mahogany sword, his attack was slightly improved, and he was also a bit swifter and more efficient when killing the monsters.

After staying in the level 4 fire frog area for an hour, his level had reached level 3.

Seeing that the experience points he gained from killing the fire frog had been reduced, he walked towards the area where the level 6 monster piebald snakes were.

He didn't know that as he was walking towards the level 6 piebald snake monster area, the video of him killing the fire frog had appeared in the forum.

　　...

When Jiang Ming was quickly upgrading within the game, he didn't know that Lan Xin had already woken up. But Lan Xin did not wake Jiang Ming up, instead she lay beside him, silently watching him.

Afraid of waking Jiang Ming from the game, Lan Xin stared at Jiang Ming with eyes filled up with tears as her slender white hand stroked Jiang Ming's cheek gently. Unconsciously, a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"

A tear dropped followed by another, and another, Lan Xin could no longer control her tears. Afraid of crying out loud, she quickly covered her mouth with both hands. Staring at Jiang Ming lovingly, her lips moved slightly as she said without making any sound.

　　...

At H city airport, a Land Rover rushed in and parked nicely into an alley of the airport.

"You two hide the car and wait nearby. I'll go in by myself, lest you get recognized and cause unnecessary trouble."

Seeing that they had reached the destination, Chikage said to Shao Long and the driver, then jumped out of the open window.

"Huh~ That's so tiring, but so exciting too!"

After the driver saw Chikage jumping out of the car, he let out a long sigh and dropped down on the seat sweating.

Coming all the way here, he had to increase the car speed to 180. He didn't know how many red lights he drove past, and how many thrilling drifts he played, and how many traffic police he had escaped from.

No matter what, if he didn't pull some strings, his driver's license would definitely be suspended, if not permanently revoked.

But to him, it was very worthwhile to have such a stimulating experience which made his blood surge. He was constantly in a state of excitement.

"Urggh... Driver, you did a good job this time, I will reward you when we return." Shao Long threw up again and gave the driver a thumbs up.

The journey here was nothing troublesome for Chikage and the driver, but it scared Shao Long tremendously and he vomited all the way here. But at least they completed the task that Chikage wanted them to do. He was also a sensible person who rewarded the worthy and punished those who deserved it. So, he naturally knew that if it wasn't for the driver, they were likely to be killed by Chikage this time. Even if he was not killed, there would be no hope for further cooperation. So, all in all, the driver did great this time.

After Chikage got off the car, it glanced at the time displayed at the airport and was relieved.

It could not read words, but it could still understand time. Seeing that it was just the time when Jiang Ming's sister got off the plane, it quickly ran towards the exit.
