Chapter 68: Being Watched

“Not yet.” Elder Fu stroked his beard and clicked open his skills tree; his offensive aura, Holy Fire, was at level 8!

“The owner said Holy Fire is really powerful in the beginning and doesn’t require any good items to be powerful, so I added all my skill points to it. I’m going to switch them up later anyways, so might as well find out how strong this skill can be!”

“That’s a good idea,” An Huwei, Ouyang Zhen, and the others immediately walked up to him, and a group of more than a dozen people quickly followed.

“Let’s go out of town and look for the Halls of the Dead!” After switching up his skill points, Nalan Hongwu returned to Lut Gholein in a hurry.

Lut Gholein, often called the Jewel of the Desert, was the main trading port in the Aranoch Desert. It served as a natural barrier between the east and west of Sanctuary.

Lut Gholein wasn’t big in the original game, but the players could see how grand it was in the interlude animation.

Standing from a faraway dune, one could see countless lights from the homes of the residents in the city, lighting up the nightly sky and blocking the horizons of the faraway ocean. One glance wasn’t enough to witness its beauty!

Nalan Hongwu and the others were in this great city!

However, due to their current low levels, they had to spend the night at Atma’s small hotel in the corner of the city.

The only reason they could stay here was that they raided Radament’s nest and helped the owner seek revenge. They were content with their current situation since they almost ended up on the streets the night before.

The hotel provided wine and drink, but only mercenaries in this world would drink the wine that was made to the locals’ taste. An Cheng and the others sat on a table inside the hotel and got up with their weapons upon seeing Nalan Hongwu’s return.

“Let’s go!”

Elder Fu waved the saber in his hand. “I’ll get to try out my newly-upgraded Holy Fire.”

As soon as they left the city, they saw a golden desert. Lut Gholein was surrounded by deserts on all three sides, while the last side faced the ocean.

Soon, they saw countless sabercats and scarabs immediately respond to their presence!

Elder Fu didn’t know how powerful Holy Fire could be, so he didn’t put too much skill points into it. However, he decided to add all his skill points to Holy Fire today!

“Fu, kill the monster!”

After Holy Fire was activated, it would burn the surrounding enemies. Soon, a dozen monsters of all sorts chased Elder Fu.

Seeing that there were a lot of monsters already, Elder Fu used Holy Shield, and a white light flashed.

“I activated Concentration! Let’s kill them!” The magic power in Nalan Hongwu’s hands transformed into a blessed hammer!

At the same time, the power of Holy Fire adhered itself to Elder Fu’s blade. As white lights flashed, the monsters were killed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The herds of monsters fell to the ground!

A lot of the scarabs didn’t even get to shoot Charged Bolts before falling onto the ground!

At this time, An Cheng and the others finally caught up to Nalan Hongwu and Elder Hong. Upon seeing them, they stared at the corpse on the ground and then at the two paladins before them.

“My god, the two of you killed them all?”

“You inflicted so much damage!”

The crowd watching them couldn’t help but gasp in awe.

What kind of new combination is this?

“Holy Fire really does have high damage.” Elder Fu gasped, “With an accelerated attack speed of the skill, Zeal, and the additional damage of Concentration, it’s not weaker than Blessed Hammer!”

There was another advantage; the mana usage was greatly reduced. Unlike Nalan Hongwu’s attacks, which drained his mana after killing one herd of zombies, he still had quiet a lot of mana left.

Nalan Hongwu burst out laughing, “You were right not to change up your skills. If we work together, we’ll slaughter them all!”

“With Holy Fire active, they can basically kill one monster with two strikes. If Blessed Hammer is used, one strike will kill a monster!” An Huwei and the others couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Now, I want to play as a paladin as well now!” Bai Lang said dejectedly.

“Brother Bai, cultivators like us should never fight monsters head-on,” Zhan Yan said sternly,.”Did you see that they had to get the sorcerers in their team use Teleport to get them here? The seven of us are all sorcerers and sorceresses. Once we all learn how to use Teleport, our progress will be faster than theirs!”

“You’re right!” Bai Lang bucked up upon hearing this. “Teaming up with warriors will hold us back! The sorcerers and sorceresses don’t have to worry about traveling times!”

“He’s right!” Ye Xiaoye chimed in excitedly, “Even though Teleport is a lightning spell, we can learn it separately!”

As they watched An Cheng and the others kill monsters, the audience discussed fervently amongst themselves…
