Chapter 394: Ashes
Tick ​​~
The faint sound of water drops falling came to my ears.

Jiang He opened his eyes and locked onto the source of the sound. Less than ten meters to the right and front, a rusty faucet was dripping at a very slow rate, with water droplets falling from the cracks and into the moss-covered pool.

The air was filled with a stale, musty smell, the room was cold and damp, and the light was dim.

Jiang He looked forward. There was no wall, but a fence instead, which made him look a little unhappy.

“Didn’t we agree to start with civilians?”

Lao Hei and Wu He were not around, so Jiang He reached out and touched his collar. The cool and smooth feel proved that he and Aya were not separated. He had stuffed the red robe back into his personal royal suit at some point. He was now wearing a ragged, thin cloth garment that was so tattered and dirty that it was hard to tell whether it was black or gray.

There was more than one person in the prison-like room.

There are three bunk beds in total, attached to three walls, and people on the beds on both sides have begun to wake up one after another.

“It’s a team exploration world. I hope none of you are anthropomorphic.” The young man who woke up first sighed. He had a cross-shaped scar on his face.

Player Name: Crusader Sword,

Player level: LV30.

The cross-shaped boy was on the upper bunk, and the silent young man said nothing. The Ash World was a famous training base. Only those who had reached the Silver Age were eligible to enter. After getting the corresponding invitation letter and completing the descent, it was not very difficult to obtain a Abyss Ghost.

Player Name: Silence is Golden.

Player level: LV29.

On the bed opposite, a pair of sisters who look very similar wake up. Their player names are Heiji and Baiji, and their levels are both LV28.

The surface information of the four players appeared in Jiang He’s eyes at the same time. They were all from the battlefield of End. It seemed that Origin had stuffed him into the task matching team of End to make use of him.

Tatata!
Outside the crystalized prison, an officer walked over and stood still, picked up the document in his hand, and read:
“Crusader, Silence is Golden, Black Princess, White Princess, Amber.” The officer sneered, “Another bunch of weird names. Now that we’re all here, let’s start the fight. I’ll give you a quarter of an hour. The Eye of Ashes wants only the final winner.”

Puff puff!
Hundreds of tiny pipes were exposed on the ceiling of the room, with gray mist gushing out from them. This was the collected gray rain vapor. If one stayed in it for a long time, hatred would engulf one’s reason, and eventually one would degenerate into an alien.

“What a joke!” The young man with the cross said angrily, “It is impossible for the mortality rate to be as high as 80% right after the arrival. You are killing your own kind by deception. Be careful that the executioner will kill you, the violator.”

The silent young man looked serious.

The black and white sisters looked at each other. They were the ones least willing to obey this order.

Legion scratched his ears and tilted his head in confusion, “What are you talking about? If you don’t want to, then all of you can die. It’s none of my business.”

At the same time, the subtitles of origin appeared in front of Jiang He’s eyes. Compared with the previous prompt sounds, the feeling of stealing this time was a bit more obvious.

[Main Mission ①: Released]
[Quest Name: Join the Eye of Ashes]
[Task Reward: 4000 Game Coins]
[Task time limit: None]
[Task Penalty: None]
[Task suggestion: voluntary]
[Mission Note: The Eye of Ashes is a secret force directly under the chairman of the council. You are in the selection ceremony. In order to ensure secrecy, the Eye of Ashes has never recruited publicly. It obtains fresh blood through kidnapping, seduction, fraud, etc. every month.]
“Does this look like a formal organization?” Jiang He was speechless.

boom!
The silent young man exploded in silence. He suddenly jumped out from the upper bunk and punched the crystalline fence. The physique of an ordinary creature in the Silver Age was fully revealed, and smoke and dust filled the room.

The crystal fence shook, but was safe and sound.

The officer yawned in boredom and said, “Don’t waste your energy. Even if you have practiced one or two moves, this fence is made of solidified hate crystals. If you are not a sin magician, the power you will get when you hit it will be reduced by 70% to 80%. You might as well use it on them.”

The silent youth was silent.

The young man with the cross showed a ferocious look. The black and white sisters stood up and stood together.

Regarding the world of ash, there are some hints in the opening narration of the end. Because of the gray rain, humans suffered a mass extinction, and more than 21% of them died. The physical fitness of the new humans who adapted to the environment improved. They did not have silver will and energy, but evolved silver bodies, with an average value of around points per person.

The Age of Ashes is both destruction and opportunity for the world, which is equivalent to the beginning of the Silver Age in the world. Therefore, it has been evaluated as a battlefield in the second-level special world.

“There’s nothing I can do. Please don’t blame me.” The young man with the cross rolled up his sleeves, revealing a perfect broken sword embedded in half of his left arm. Among the people of the current level, his killing power was outstanding.

Even the officers couldn’t help but be amazed.

Tick!
A drop of water falls.

The cross-shaped boy raised his hand, the silent young man took a step forward, and the black and white sisters each picked up a staff.

But in the next moment, an illusory yet strong, dizzying smell of blood rose in the room.

The real beast got up from the bed.

Dark red waves swept around, the room shook violently, countless cracks appeared on the crystal fence, three beds collapsed, the pool shattered, and water spurted out from the faucet.

thump!
The Cross Boy and the Silent Youth fainted.

The relatively weaker black and white sisters fell to the ground. The threat from the overlord directly destroyed their spirits, and blood mixed with jelly flowed out of their eye sockets.

The officer looked horrified. The dark red tsunami was only a hair’s breadth away from breaking through the fence, but the suffocating majesty was already upon him. A monster had been imprisoned in his own prison without him knowing when.

Click!

Jiang He crushed the heads of the silent young man and the cross-haired young man. The incomplete perfect-grade broken sword was only a snack for him. He took a step forward and crashed into the already shaky fence. He put the tip of the sword between his teeth and bit it to pieces.

“How to join the process?”

The officer forced a smile and said, “Look at what you said. I am here to serve you. Come with me.”

The officer turned and led the way. All he wanted now was to get as far away from this guy as possible.

[Hint: You get 4000 game coins]
Harvest investment straight kick.

[Hint: Perfect straight kick LV3→LV16]
[Game Coins: 100]
Jiang He walked out of the room, and in front of him was a dark and deep corridor. In the rooms on both sides, some of the “prisoners” were still sleeping, while others had already woken up.

“Hurry up and get up, look!”

“I knock, Lady Cinder is also locked up?”

“Wash your eyes, this guy doesn’t look like a woman at all.”

“The title of Lady Ash is now open to others.”

The prisoners were talking about it. Lady Ash was the chief student of Ash Academy whose strength was at a disadvantage. She had contracted a gold-level betrayer, and the degree of compatibility was over 80%, which was a once-in-a-century opportunity. However, she was more famous for her extremely beautiful appearance.

Jiang He walked casually in the corridor, occasionally turning his head to activate the Judgment Eye to kill the foul-mouthed guy who was looking for death. He was a little interested in the Abyss Ghost, provided that it was suitable for him.
