The system prompt suddenly popped up, and Chu Tian was stunned.
What was the General's Order?
It was just a fragment!
He quickly opened his inventory to check its attributes.
[General's Order (Fragment)]
Description: One hundred fragments can be used to synthesize the General's Order.
Holders of the General's Order can enter the General's Hall without obstruction.
Introduction: Monsters killed for the first time have a higher drop rate. The entire General's Hall yields a total of 100 fragments. Once the quantity is reached, no more will be produced.
...
Chu Tian frowned and pondered, General's Hall?
What place was that?
Chu Tian had never heard of this map.
Moreover, he had never heard of anyone entering it.
Could it be another special map?
Or, perhaps, in his previous life, there were 100 fragments produced, but they were not concentrated in the hands of a single person? Da Feng Novel Network
No matter what, collecting one hundred fragments would not be easy.
Closing his inventory, and before the nearby monsters respawned, Chu Tian set his direction and ran straight towards the entrance to the second level of the General's Tomb.
The next level would have level seventy-seven monsters.
That was fine; he was currently level fifty.
A twenty-seven level difference meant a significant experience bonus, which was exhilarating to think about.
The second level should also have monster-cramming spots, but he would need to scout them out.
[Ding... System Prompt: Your clone character has joined the team!]
[Ding... System Prompt: Your clone character has left Mine Area 1894!]
Chu Tian was surprised. When he logged in, he saw his clone mining in that area.
He hadn't paid it any mind. As the main body, any movement of the clone would trigger a system notification.
He quickly opened the clone's status to check.
It was only level forty.
It had already joined a team, seemingly to tackle a dungeon.
Chu Tian knew that Dao Tian, that old fellow, was controlling the clone.
Suddenly, a thought struck him: should he also level up the clone?
With Dao Tian controlling it, they could coordinate attacks, making it even easier to deal with the Slaughterers.
He called out a few times in his mind, but Dao Tian didn't respond.
It seemed he had disabled communication with him.
Or rather, he wasn't spying on him at the moment.
He opened a private message and sent a message.
I Am Not a Druid: "Stop going into dungeons, I'll help you level up later!"
After a full minute passed.
I Am Not a Thief: "Uh...? The little brat is finally online!"
I Am Not a Thief: "Do you know how tiring it was for me to maintain your level?"
I Am Not a Thief: "And you're going to help me level up? You better focus on keeping your first place, or rather, your second place!"
Chu Tian looked at the string of messages Dao Tian had sent.
After a long pause, he replied.
I Am Not a Druid: "Sorry, I'm almost level fifty-one!"
Another few minutes passed.
[Ding... System Prompt: Your clone character has left the team!]
I Am Not a Thief: "Come on, quickly... pull me over!"
I Am Not a Druid: "Let me find a safe spot first!"
Chu Tian replied, knowing that Dao Tian, that old fellow, had noticed his leveling speed.
There was even a hint of excitement in his words.
However, using the clone summon skill now to pull him over would be a suicide mission.
Chu Tian spent more than thirty minutes and finally reached the entrance to the second level.
Even with his speed, it took over thirty minutes to run there. The General's Hall was truly vast.
Furthermore, the entrance wasn't at the deepest part of the map, but at the center.
This meant that the straight-line distance from the entrance to the farthest point would take an hour to reach.
He walked down the descending stairs and slowed his pace as he approached the next floor.
Down there, the entrance to the second level was just around the corner.
He remembered that two Corpse Guard Warriors were fixed spawns at this entrance.
They were gatekeeper monsters. There was no visual obstruction at the entrance, making this section rather difficult.
With a twenty-seven level disparity, it would be hard to remain undetected while stealthing.
There were two options: first, to fight them head-on.
Second, to rely on speed and disengage from combat.
Ultimately, Chu Tian decided to separate them and fight one to test its damage.
If he couldn't handle it, it wouldn't be too late to run.
However, as soon as he poked his head out.
The two Corpse Guard Warriors instantly turned their heads and, upon seeing Chu Tian, charged towards him like ravenous wolves.
Yes, they ran.
These creatures were not like the Corpse Guards on the first level, who walked with a limp.
Their legs were intact, and...
Their entire left arm had been transformed into a large cleaver.
Their right hand was intact, swinging wildly as they rushed towards Chu Tian.
Seeing their appearance, Chu Tian thought: "Screw you!"
He activated his Swiftness skill and *shing*...
As they blocked the entrance, he darted straight out!
These Corpse Guard Warriors moved far too fast.
Their speed was almost comparable to a rogue with a full agility build.
Chu Tian kept running, and they kept chasing. Initially, it was two, then five... ten...
The monster density on this level was too high; the more he ran, the more he attracted.
At this moment, he had become a special kind of professional: a corpse herder...
Except...
He was the one being herded by the corpses.
Finally, he had no choice. Fifty to sixty Corpse Guard Warriors were chasing him.
Although some couldn't keep up and gradually disengaged, more joined the horde than left.
He had no choice but to find a monster-cramming spot.
If he continued running aimlessly like this, he might end up luring all the Corpse Guard Warriors on the second level.
Finally, after running for more than twenty minutes, he spotted a broken stone pillar again.
However, this pillar was too high, and after calculating, he felt he couldn't jump onto it.
But if there was such a place, there had to be others.
He was more worried about *not* finding such broken stone pillars.
After another ten minutes of running, he finally found a seven-meter-high, dilapidated stone pillar.
Finding the right distance, he activated three skills simultaneously: acceleration, jump, and double jump.
He successfully reached a safe spot...
Looking down, Chu Tian broke out in a cold sweat.
Over a hundred Corpse Guard Warriors instantly swarmed around the pillar.
They roared and raised their modified left arms, waving them at Chu Tian.
Clearly, the design of these monsters did not include environmental destruction.
If he encountered monsters that could destroy structures, this method would likely be useless.
He opened the clone panel and summoned his clone.
Dao Tian did not interfere, and the clone instantly appeared beside him.
"What the hell did you do?" the clone exclaimed as soon as it appeared.
It widened its eyes, looking down.
The hundreds of Corpse Guard Warriors were each about two meters tall and as stout as oxen.
Most importantly, the cleavers on their left arms were extremely chilling.
Dao Tian's question naturally referred to Chu Tian, asking how he got chased by so many high-level monsters.
"Damn it... I'm bringing you to level up, and you have so much to say!" Chu Tian shot him a glare.
This sentence angered Dao Tian so much that if the clone had a beard, it would probably fly off.
He sputtered for a while, then suddenly seemed to realize, and roared, "Who are you bringing to level up? This is your clone! I was planning to give experience to your main body to level up..."
"You still know it's my clone? You keep taking my clone out for strolls and fun all the time. Pay me some rent. Look at you showing off."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tian retorted immediately.
Chu Tian had anticipated this response and was waiting for it.
"You... fine... I'll wait for you to level me up. With such high-level monsters, let's see how you fight them!"
After saying that, he actually took out a chair, a parasol, and a table.
There was also a pot of wine and snacks, everything he needed.
Chu Tian's eyes nearly popped out, and he roared, "Didn't you say you quit drinking?"
"Also, where did you get all these things?"
Chu Tian had never bought such luxury items himself.
"I just quit drinking that day..." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and took a long gulp.
"Good wine... *tsk tsk*..."
He also smacked his lips.
Enraged, Chu Tian turned away and could only vent his anger on the monsters.
At the same time, he set the experience to be shared entirely with the clone.
He was level fifty and almost fifty-one.
It was possible that killing one monster would lead to leveling up.
This would reduce the experience bonus for killing monsters of a higher level.
Since he was the one killing the monsters, even if the experience was fully shared with the thief clone, the experience gained would still be based on what he received.
It wouldn't be boosted based on the thief clone's level.
He used "Sunlight Flame," a debuff skill, which was an area-of-effect skill.
"Moonlight Fire" was a single-target debuff skill, so applying it to so many monsters was unrealistic.
The remaining option was to target one monster and focus on attacking it.
-36!
-24!
-48!
The level disparity was too great; his highest skill only dealt over 48 damage.
During a critical hit, with the God-Tier Fatal talent triggered, it only dealt over 300 points.
Meanwhile, the Corpse Guard Warrior's HP was: 385000/385000.
He calculated that it would take about an hour to defeat one.
However, amidst so many monsters.
He witnessed the beauty of "Starfall."
Yes, beautiful.
The damage was suppressed...
It was just a flurry...
-1... -1... like snowflakes blown by a strong wind!
When "Starfall" was activated, dazzling meteors fell from the sky.
Suddenly, Chu Tian felt how wonderful it would be if Luo Luo were sitting beside him.
They could admire the beautiful meteor shower together, chatting sweetly.
Alas...
But the one sitting beside him, drinking and snacking, was a clone.
Moreover, in this young body resided an old man who had lived for an unknown duration.
With a sigh, he could only bury his head in his work!
