Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

"Hiss!!!!" When Lin Mu heard the reward of [One Hundred Dragon Luck * Number of Fallen], he gasped in shock.

Seeing this reward, Lin Mu even wanted to personally go and chop down Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Killing two people directly yielded two hundred Dragon Fortune points—an incredible haul!
Risk and reward go hand in hand, but if Liu Bei were to die, all his good fortune would be gone...

This made Lin Mu tremble with fear again...

He wouldn't be afraid if it were his previous life's progress, but now that Lu Bu has set up the [Southern Dipper Seven Kill Martial Arts Arena], who knows if a dramatic turn of events might occur... He doesn't want to bet his entire fortune on this unlucky Liu Bei...

"Damn... why didn't the mission information change appear earlier? It's only now. Speechless." If the mission change had appeared earlier, he might have made some adjustments accordingly.

Now they're about to start fighting...

The second side quest was indeed about slaying Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm... but now it's Dian Wei slaying Hua Xiong. Luckily, there's no reward or penalty...

"Now, we can only hope that, like in history, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei will drive Lü Bu back to Hulao Pass... that way we'll gain an extra five dragons' fortune..." Lin Mu prayed helplessly in his heart.

"My lord, we're almost there!" Just then, Huang Zhong's voice rang out.

A purple hue appeared on the distant horizon, and a rumbling sound could be faintly heard.

At that moment, another dazzling purple light appeared.

Amidst the purple light, a familiar golden figure slowly appeared—the Sword-wielding Divine Deer!

Because the divine deer had appeared and disappeared before, no one was too surprised by it. Since they couldn't seize the Crimson Heaven Sword from its mouth, they could only treat it as a mascot...

"It's about to begin! The ultimate duel between the two camps is about to begin!" Dian Wei exclaimed excitedly.

Having gained something from killing Hua Xiong last time, Dian Wei was eager to try again, wishing he could take his halberd and go back to the battlefield.

“Gong Tu, this time is different from last time. Last time, we were far inferior to Hua Xiong, and it was easy to kill him. But this time, Lü Bu is a whole rank higher than us, and this rank is very special... We are at a disadvantage from the start.” The composed Huang Zhong couldn’t help but dampen Dian Wei’s enthusiasm.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu quickly explained the situation of the [Southern Dipper Seven Kill Martial Arts Arena] to the group.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent... They all felt that this fighting arena was something special...

……

At the foot of Hulao Pass, where Lü Bu stood, the golden light had disappeared, and the surrounding ground seemed unchanged.

The traces of the battle between Hua Xiong and Dian Wei have been repaired at some point, and the ground is now smooth.

"I am Lü Bu, Lü Fengxian! You cowards from beyond the pass, who dares to come and die!" Only then did Lü Bu's taunts slowly rise.

"--Ding!"

"--Announcement regarding the special battlefield in the Heroes' Campaign against Dong Zhuo: Towering pavilions stand in harmonious contrast, emerald canopies stretching across the heavens. Celestial music wafts, purple aura fills the sky—yet also a calamity of destiny! Due to fulfilling hidden conditions, the epic branch of the Heroes' Campaign against Dong Zhuo, the [Three Heroes Battle Lü Bu], has been activated. This duel will take place in the [Southern Dipper Seven Kills Martial Arts Arena]. All participants in this duel will be exempt from all resurrection rules; upon death, they will be permanently eliminated. A player's physical body and soul will simultaneously collapse and perish."

"..."

"..."

Three announcements were slowly announced.

The historical drama of "Three Heroes Battle Lü Bu" begins!
"--Ding!"

"--Special Battlefield Announcement for the Heroes Against Dong Zhuo Storyline: Towering pavilions and verdant canopies stretch across the heavens. Auspicious omens descend, a divine deer holds a sword, and the warlords vie for supremacy. Due to fulfilling hidden conditions, the Heroes Against Dong Zhuo storyline's [Southern Dipper Seven Kills Arena] has been activated. If you enter this battlefield and survive Lu Bu's attacks (regardless of victory or defeat, rewards will be given upon exiting the battlefield): Tiger Luck +100, Ox Luck +100, National Legendary Points +30, Reputation +500000000, the participating player's lord will receive +10 Dragon Luck, and the Warlord's Luck Value +10000. If a lord who has accepted the Warlord Ranking quest participates in the battle, their progress will be immediately maxed out, allowing them to join the rankings. If you defeat Lu Bu, the winner will directly receive +500 Tiger Luck, +500 Ox Luck, +50 National Legendary Points, +10000000000, and a National Artifact. The winning lord will also receive +50 Dragon Luck."

"..."

"..." Three more grand announcements rang in the ears of all players and natives on the Hulao Pass battlefield.

This time, it was much fiercer than the last battle against Hua Xiong!
Both his reputation and luck have increased significantly, but what Lin Mu values ​​most is that [National Artifact]!
Good heavens, such a reward for just a duel... If the reward is the Nine Cauldrons... that would be incredible... Of course, China has many national treasures, so the Nine Cauldrons might not be the most top-tier ones.

"It's different from my previous life..." Lin Mu sighed inwardly. In fact, he was considering whether to break Liu Bei's [Seven Stars Borrowing Fortune Technique] and then participate in the fight against Lü Bu and defeat him.

He had a premonition that one of his trump cards could break Liu Bei's luck-borrowing technique!

As for what it is, he hasn't figured it out yet.

"However... even if the technique of borrowing fortune is broken, it may not change the temporary ownership of the dragon fortune that has already been borrowed." A feeling suddenly arose in Lin Mu's mind.

"No matter what, we have to get into the [Southern Dipper Seven Kill Martial Arts Arena]... We can still get the basic rewards. As for the subsequent plot, let's see... I hope there will be changes, but I also hope there won't be any changes... Speechless." Lin Mu kept thinking.

After the announcement had just finished playing, Lin Mu pondered for a moment before they arrived at the sprawling camp.

They did not stop or return to their camp, but passed directly through Yuan Shao's camp and headed straight for the front line.

At this moment, the warlords were not in Yuan Shao's camp, but had gone to the front line.

Yuan Shao had already ordered craftsmen to temporarily build a command platform, where the warlords sat to watch the battle.

During his journey, Lin Mu checked the chat channel in the China region again and discovered new information:
"Did you guys receive the system notification? This time it's different from Hua Xiong's situation. The system is actually warning me that if I enter the [Southern Dipper Seven Kill Martial Arts Arena], I'm doomed! Good grief..."

"Tsk tsk... I received it too. The system is really kind, afraid that I would rush in recklessly... It seems that the system is quite concerned about me..."

"Huh... why is the system notification I received different? It says that Lu Bu has been promoted to the top-tier Heavenly General of the Divine Continent, with unparalleled strength. He could kill me with a single glance. Those who are weak in combat should not go in... Damn it, is the system discriminating against me?"

"Damn, me too, but I'm a total weakling..."

Upon seeing this information, Lin Mu was slightly taken aback. Even the system was discouraging players from participating...

"My lord, the road ahead is blocked." Just then, Huang Zhong's voice rang out.

Lin Mu looked ahead and saw that the area was already filled with soldiers. Some of the flag bearers a banner with the single character "Yuan" clearly engraved on it.

"Regardless of whose troops they are, just use your Yuan Power to break through!" Lin Mu said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong was enveloped in a tremendous light and charged forward. With a sudden burst of energy, the soldiers' formation in front of him was shattered, and Lin Mu and the others followed Huang Zhong as they rushed into the distance.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong didn't use too much force; otherwise, if his divine energy had struck, all the soldiers in front of him might have been killed.

However, this commotion was very conspicuous on the entire battlefield, and many people turned their attention to it.

When they saw that it was Lin Mu, they didn't say anything.

Although no one said anything, some people got anxious.

"Brother, let's go first, don't wait any longer!!" The impatient Zhang Fei pulled his elder brother Liu Bei, carrying his eighteen-foot spear, ready to go to the battlefield.

If Lin Mu can seize an opportunity once, he can seize it a second time!
"Fourth brother, don't rush, don't rush! This time is different from last time," Liu Bei reassured Zhang Fei, speaking in a deep voice.

"Sigh..." Zhang Fei sighed heavily.

Guan Yu, with his red face, didn't speak. Instead, he stared blankly at Lü Bu, or rather, at Lü Bu's mount, the Red Hare!

He felt a connection with this divine steed… He blushed, and Red Hare turned red all over—wasn't this fate? (End of Chapter)
