Solomon? That place which is like hell…


I would never want to remember, within Solomon, the gruesome and terrifying…

The scud traveler’s face was bluish-white as if he had seen the most frightful thing.
In the sky, the clouds gathered to form thunder swirl, thunder strobed as though the roar of the grim reaper, the fierce wind was sharp, fallen leaves flew around, and even the dark soil on the ground was stirred up, drifting around the surrounding of the silent and ghastly Solomon.
If one bought the map, they would realize that the level marked for Solomon was: Level 50!


In addition to the great majestic image of the Door of Darkness, it made few players dare to approach here.
Lin Jie stood in front of Solomon that was like the bloody mouth of a Devil, amazed by it as even the Triumphal Arch might not be as impressive.
An Elf Traveller carried a heavy backpack, he used both his hands and legs to climb out, screaming,
Quickly leave! Quickly leave!

Lin Jie walked towards the elf, he raised his foot, and it actually passed through the elf’s body.
That was an illusion!
—’You are about to enter Solomon, this is a dangerous high-level map, do you wish to enter?’
Yes!
BOOM!
The dark gate then collapsed, and the scenery instantly changed.
A beautiful courtyard with white clouds, under the warm sunlight, rendered that place as though it was a city within the clouds.


No one would have expected that there would be such a scenery inside Solomon!
Between the clouds, occasionally, small heads would pop out from within. They looked like cats, their extremely adorable eyes would look at Lin Jie embarrassed, making baby-like sounds. Their colors varied, each of their heads grew a horn that had the thickness of a finger.
Rainbow Unicorn Lion Cub: Level 22, Health Points: 3,500

Wu—

A light red cub plugged up its courage and ran out from the clouds, blinking its eyes towards Lin Jie and rolled on the ground, showing its soft and cute belly. It squinted its eyes with satisfaction as if waiting for Lin Jie to pet it.
The simple and honest small cub even revealed a smile on its face. Perhaps that smile might even strike young girls with maternal love right in their heart.

Wu— Wu—

The cub stuck out its stomach as if reminding Lin Jie to quickly touch its fur.
Lin Jie pulled out Broken Blade and activated Army Obliteration, piercing towards its belly. That was the weakness of the cub! Only three thud sounds could be heard, and the cub’s Health Bar instantly decreased by one third!
Although the Unicorn Cub did not have any means to attack, there was a large array that was similar to a swirl at their belly. As long as it was touched by humans, it would immediately summon the shadows of Solomon to attack!


The cub hurriedly jumped up, the round ball of meat rolled towards the distance, wanting to escape!
Lin Jie activated Forward Charge to get closer. Withered Leaf Sword and Broken Blade mercilessly slashed on the body of the cub. The cub whimpered, closed its eyes tightly and dropped a small piece of fur. Afterward, it fell down.
Taking a look at the experience points received, although it was a level 22 living creature, the cub’s experience points was similar to level 12 living creatures. Having such a setting must be highly related to their attacking means.
Before Solomon was completely released, that place acted as the residence of the Unicorn Lion, and the cubs were moving freely in the peripheral. However, after the Solomon map was completely made public, adult unicorn lions would be spawned there to eliminate all intruders.

Kacha!

—’You received the cub’s horn.’
Lin Jie chopped the horn down and stuffed it into his backpack. He scanned the surroundings and those unicorn lion cubs that hid within the cloud all buried their heads and fled in all directions while screaming,
Wuwu.

Flame Boost activated!
Blade Aura Executioner activated!
Facing the group of living creatures, which could not fight back, Lin Jie directly activated AOE skills and rushed forward. Although the cubs feared Lin Jie, after all, they could not break free from the aggro mechanism. As long as they were attacked, they would rush up towards Lin Jie.


In the short span of 30 minutes, Lin Jie had used that method to farm over 200 cubs.

Thank god Bu Yi isn’t around,
Lin Jie mocked himself as he laughed. If that scene was seen by her, who loved small animals, perhaps her favorability towards him would decrease to the lowest point.
The number of cub horns reached 167. Lin Jie continued killing monsters, and after gathering 200, he walked inside.
Leaving the cub territory, the frequency at which illusions appeared increased by a few times.
With every step, Lin Jie could see travelers such as elves, goblins, kobolds and so on running towards the outside crazily…. Their faces were caved in, and their eyes were as though a frightening deep groove. Their right hands stretched out as much as possible towards the outer world, revealing their eagerness and hope of leaving that world.
All along the way experiencing those scenes, even if one knew that those were all illusions, that feeling was still quite awful!
Lin Jie gripped onto Broken Blade tightly, Blood Power was convulsing in his body. That warm feeling dispelled quite a bit of fear that the brain generated.

Oh, the great Light Unicorn Lion… Solomon has turned into disaster and death’s territory, it’s now time for you to awaken.


We hope that our faith can bestow you strength.

Tens of NPCs wearing a cloak called out to the statue. That statue was as huge as 1/4 of the City of Light! The statue was carved into a shape of a lion with a single horn, it had its eyes closed in exhaustion and lied on the ground in silence.


The Unicorn Lion, in the Period of the Giant Dragons, was once the Holy Beast that carried the flag of equality and freedom! As one of the leaders of the wild beasts on land, it rose up and resisted against the dragons, finally ending the dragons’ barbarous rule.
However, in the hero’s twilight years, it had such an end.
As one of the leaders of the Primordial Era living creatures, that Light Unicorn Lion was worthy of being an existence of a totem for people to worship!
As his footsteps sounded, Lin Jie stood below the magnificent statue and took a deep breath.

Who?
An old man turned his head and looked at Lin Jie, glaring at him.
Human, Solomon isn’t a place you should come!

The old man’s name was displayed with a yellow color: Unicorn Lion’s Worshiper Mayen.
That was the advantage of the increase in favorability! If Lim Jie was a stranger, wanting to communicate with him would be impossible.
Unicorn Lion’s Worshiper Mayen was a level 60 Elite. Talking about strength, he was even stronger than the current Yatasha!

Since I’ve come here, naturally I have been summoned,
Lin Jie made an irresponsible remark. What was most effective to a medium?
That was talking nonsense!
Mayen was shocked, and he exclaimed,
Did the Light Unicorn Lion request you to come?


No-no, that’s not right. You’re only a human, how come the Unicorn Lion would… Ah, you!
Anger burst out from Mayen’s eyes, his tightly clenched teeth made ear-piercing rubbing sounds. The surroundings of his fist converged powerful strength, almost wanting to tear Lin Jie into pieces!
In Lin Jie’s hands were the cubs’ horns all packed up!
A total of 200!

You dared to kill the totem that we worship?
snarled Mayen. His hair stood up in anger, and his cloak even moved without the wind, as though he was a crazy old demon.
Lin Jie ignored Mayen’s anger but instead walked closer, step by step, towards the totem. Each step brought him nearer, and the light on the horn became brighter.
With each step, the Light Unicorn Lion totem’s color became more mellow.
That bizarre situation made Mayen dare not act rashly.
When Lin Jie walked to Mayen’s side, the horns suddenly resonated with the statue! That bizarre scene left Mayen at a loss to what to do.
Lin Jie took advantage of the situation and said,
Light Unicorn Lion requested me to have a conversation with him, do you have any way?

Mayen thought for quite a while, and then he violently nodded his head and said,
Yes, as the worshiper, I can let you enter the Light Unicorn Lion’s space.


Send me in, I want to heal it,
said Lin Jie solemnly.

This…
When Mayen was hesitant. The light on the surface of the statue flashed faster and faster! As if it was impatient to wait and urged them to hurry.

Okay!

The space spiral was activated!
Lin Jie’s eyes lit up and entered it.
—
NPCs could deceive players, but players could also deceive NPCs. After that truth was found out, it was highly sought after by many players.
To many people, their aim of playing games was to find all kinds of hidden missions! Ophadi Wantless was one of them. In Lin Jie’s previous life, Wantless had a significant title: Game Walkthrough Talent!
All the different kinds of strange game strategies he released were totally challenging the limits of the players’ perception. To deceive an NPC? Daring to ask, within just one year of the opening of The New Age, who could think of that?
Even if it were professional players, their first reaction would be to do missions first, then open treasure chests, raise their levels and farm equipment. Wantless’ unique idea was even ridiculed and scorned at by many players at the beginning.

Deceive NPCs? Was it your brain that had something wrong or was it ours, the numerous players’ brains that went wrong?

However, subsequently, as a proof of the fact, Wantless’ strategy was correct.
The Light Unicorn Lion was no different from a king to his subordinates to the NPCs that worshiped it.
The Light Unicorn Lion could not speak, so those believers, who were deeply influenced by the totem’s ideology, were hoodwinked by Lin Jie’s words.
In the eyes of the Worshiper, the light in which the cub and the Light Unicorn Lion resonated was the Light of Healing! Especially since the nearer Lin Jie walked towards it, the larger the reaction from the Light Unicorn Lion was. Wasn’t that the biggest evidence?
What he never expected was what the Light Unicorn Lion statue really meant: Danger! Make him leave!
—’You have entered the nest of the Light Unicorn Lion’s Inhabitant.’
Lin Jie walked forward, and in a deeper area, he saw a round figure that was translucent. It was the Light Unicorn Lion’s last remnant of strength! It shrunk into a ball and looked at Lin Jie in sorrow, sending out spirit waves.
Maybe it was trying to request or warn, but Lin Jie was a Warrior so his Spirit was extremely low and he knew nothing about ancient time’s language. If it was a Mage with high Spirit, perhaps that Mage could understand what the Light Unicorn Lion had said.
Spirit of the Light Unicorn Lion: Level 25, Health Points: 24,000
‘Its level is actually that high!’
Lin Jie’s face turned pale in shock.

I don’t know if you can understand my language.
Lin Jie coughed drily and said with a guilty conscience,
The War of Light is near, and the Devils Forks’ uprising is about to break out. I need your heart to save the injured Light Sword Saint Mogata in exchange for the Mainland’s peace.


For the world’s peace, give me your heart!

The Light Unicorn Lion heard Lin Jie’s voice and stood up gradually while looking at him.

I succeeded?
Lin Jie’s heart missed a beat.

ROAR—

It pounced ferociously!
Lin Jie could only see an enormous lion made of light substance rush up and push Lin Jie onto the ground. Its name was blood red, and it opened its huge mouth, bitting down towards Lin Jie’s head!
That was a level 25 living creature! No matter how high Lin Jie’s attributes were, under the situation of level and stats handicap, just one bite and he was a goner!
