Chapter 177: Burning Ashes and Extinguishing Sects! (Seeking monthly tickets!)
The next day, morning.

Yu Zhun and his group of fourteen people arrived at the copy hall at the appointed time.

The [Killing God] Guild President personally led the team to conquer the dungeon, which attracted the attention of many other players.

As everyone arrived in front of the portal, a voice resounded throughout the entire dungeon hall.

“Warriors who entered the [City of Ashes] dungeon, I wish you a triumphant return!”

Realizing that the [God of Death] Guild had chosen the 4A copy, everyone's expressions became more and more expectant.

Because of the equipment rental business, almost all large guilds now maintain excellent relations with the [God of Death] Guild.

At this moment, the strategy teams from various guilds spoke out, wishing the [God of Killing] Guild all the best in the dungeon.

Such a lively scene made Yu Zhu and his friends, who were conducting a 4A permanent dungeon strategy for the first time, inexplicably excited.

"Let's go. We will only match 10 servers this time. It will probably open in seconds once you enter." Yu Zhun smiled and led everyone into the portal.

In the chaotic matching space, lines of text appeared.

【Welcome to the permanent dungeon: Ashes of the City (4A)】

[The copy rules are as follows:]

[1. All rewards in the dungeon are settled immediately]

[2. If you die in the dungeon, you will also die in the real world]

[3. Cross-server matching has been achieved, all members will enter the dungeon immediately, current matching number: 3/10]

[4. All players cannot leave the dungeon before the dungeon is cleared]

[The darkness of human nature is endless, and the ashes will never be extinguished! ]

Before everyone could even see the words clearly, the scene around them had changed drastically again.

They have arrived in a medieval city.

Two lines of text appeared before their eyes.

【Welcome to the Ashes City (4A)】

[Randomly matching you with a camp...]

"I hope we can enter the [Extinction Sect]." Salaven pushed up her glasses and spoke slowly.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the text changed rapidly.

[Congratulations, you have become a member of the [Burning Ashes Sect]! ]

[Please go to the Ashes Sect headquarters immediately: Wallensteen Cathedral]

After a brief silence, everyone looked at Salaven in silence.

Why didn’t I realize before that this guy has a talent for bad luck?
"From a probabilistic analysis, the probability of entering both camps is 50%." Salaven pushed her glasses tactically, "So, this is not a jinx, it's just bad luck."

"The Burning Ash Sect is fine too." Yu Zhun shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Let's go, it's time to meet our allies."

The plot of the [City of Ashes] dungeon is not complicated.

In the city called Ash City, there is a thing called Ash. It is like coal, but it can burn forever. However, it will go out when it comes into contact with water and will never reignite.

Most people in the City of Ashes firmly believe that [Ashes] are a gift from God, and their worship of [Ashes] has formed the [Ashes Sect].

The Ash Cult believes that water that can extinguish the Ashes is evil. They attempt to control the entire city's water supply and provide it to every citizen in limited quantities, thereby fundamentally preventing the Ashes from being extinguished.

The sect that opposes the Burning Ashes is the Extinguishing Sect. They believe that the Burning Ashes are dangerous and evil, and that only by extinguishing the Burning Ashes in the entire city can the disaster hidden in the dark truly disappear.

According to the plot of the 3A difficulty guide, [Burning Ashes] is indeed evil and is involved in the conspiracy of the hidden Boss in the dungeon.

But the [Extinction Sect] is not a good thing either. They advocated extinguishing the [burning ash] just to sell coal, but they hit the jackpot by accident.

However, these are not important to Yu Zhun and others.

Because the clearance requirements and perfect clearance requirements of the 4A difficulty [City of Ashes] have nothing to do with the plot of the copy itself.

This is a relatively rare situation.

In the 4A difficulty [City of Ashes], the 10 matched servers will be assigned to two sects and involved in a 5v5 but asymmetric confrontation.

Both sects have ways to clear the level and to clear it perfectly.

But in terms of difficulty, [Extinguish the Sect] is easier.

For those who had already studied the copy, it was naturally impossible for them to not find the way. After determining their own location, they arrived at Wallenstein Cathedral as soon as possible.

In the magnificent main hall of the cathedral, stood a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking intimidating without even looking angry.

Yu Zhun's eyes quickly swept over the other person.

Ok…

The boss in the 3A copy and the NPC who issues quests in the 4A copy.

Skip it. Skip it.

His gaze quickly fell on the two attacking teams that had already arrived, with a look of scrutiny and vigilance in his eyes.

These are the other two servers that match the Ashes Sect.

These members of the strategy team had similar emotions in their eyes. They looked carefully at Yu Zhun and the others, especially Yu Zhun, whose red name made people dizzy. After seeing Yu Zhun's name clearly, these members' pupils shrank uncontrollably, and the vigilance and astonishment on their faces became even stronger.

Because of [Purgatory Arena], Yu Zhun is considered a celebrity in the eyes of players on various servers. When players on the other two servers saw Yu Zhun's name, they realized that a tough guy had arrived.

Although in the ensuing confrontation, they were allies.

But there is also competition among allies.

Because there is only one team that can pass the level or pass it perfectly.

During the confrontation, both sides will continue to gain contribution points, and the winning team with the highest contribution point will be considered to have passed the level.

The others can only be considered as runners-up, with some symbolic consolation rewards.

This is similar to [Troll Valley].

But the difference is that in [Troll Valley] all teams are in the same camp and can directly clear out other teams, but here, because they still need to fight against another camp, they cannot directly clear out other teams.

Therefore, cooperation and competition coexist among allies.

After a brief silence, the captains of the two attacking teams smiled at the same time and walked towards Yu Zhun politely.

"It's you, nice to meet you." One of the frivolous blond male assassins said with a smile, "My name is Philip. I have heard of you for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet you in this dungeon."

"It seems that this time, our camp is sure to win."

"There may be experts on the other side, so we can't be too careless." Yu Zhun smiled and shook hands with the other party. "In short, we must do our best."

"Of course." Another warrior player with short black hair twitched his lips slightly, "My name is Hei Luo. Although you are very powerful, [City of Ashes] is a team game."

"If you are missing a member, we may not run with you."

"Looking forward to your performance." Yu Zhun raised his eyebrows, loosened his hand with Philip, and shook hands with Hei Luo.

The captains of the three attacking teams have done their best on the surface, but as for what they think in private, that is another matter.

After saying hello, the two captains returned to their respective teams.

"The servers these two teams belong to are both quite unfamiliar." Su Hong looked at the other party and said in a low voice, "I wonder if we will encounter a familiar server in this strategy."

"It's hard to say about other things, but there's a high chance that we'll meet server 23993." Yu Zhun smiled, "I hope we won't be matched with the same faction."

It is somewhat disconcerting to be matched with the same faction as the server bound to [First Transformation Killing Order].

Thinking of this possibility, everyone couldn't help but curl their lips and pray silently in their hearts that the other party would be matched to the other side.

Not long after, the fourth attacking team matched with the [Ashes Sect] arrived at the cathedral.

It was also a server number that Yu Zhun and the others were unfamiliar with, but the strategy team leader named Quentin seemed to have known Hei Luo before.

The two captains of the strategy team talked together for a long time, and they seemed to be having a good time. When they separated, Hei Luo looked at Yu Zhun with a more confident look in his eyes, as if he felt that with an ally, Yu Zhun and the others would not be able to get the highest contribution.

"I want to give them a wave of [Toxic Medical Treatment]." Yu Zhu whispered, "There are 45 of them here, I should be able to kill 40 of them."

Everyone broke out in a sweat.

[Poison Medical] was upgraded to Lv3 by Yu Zhu, and can now cause a health reduction of 4% of the magic attack to 120 targets.

Yu Zhu is now Lv35, wearing a +20 legendary Netherworld five-piece suit. Although it has not yet reached the enhancement limit of the equipment, the magic attack attribute is almost stacked to one million. Combined with the healing bonus, one [Toxic Medical] can really clear the health of the entire field.

"They are still useful to us."

Yu Zhun rubbed Yu Zhu's head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "There are 15 key positions. We can't defend them alone."

Ten teams join the confrontation between the Burning Ash Sect and the Extinction Sect, which is related to 15 key locations in the City of Ashes.

These 15 key locations are 10 [water sources] and 5 [ash warehouses].

These key locations are scattered throughout the Ash City.

As for the [water source point], what the [Burning Ash Sect] needs to do is to block it. After the blockage is completed, the water flow corresponding to the [water source point] will flow into the area controlled by the [Burning Ash Sect] and be controlled by the sect.

The blockage of the [water source point] is irreversible, but the blocking process lasts about half an hour, and if it is interrupted in the middle, it must be started again.

During this process, the [Extinction Sect] will constantly send people to interfere and obstruct, and the [Burning Ash Sect] needs to send people to stop them.

[Ash warehouse] is a place where large amounts of [ash] are stored.

To [Extinguish the Sect], one needs to break through the guards of the [Ash Warehouse], snatch the [Ashes] from the [Ash Warehouse], throw them into the [Water Source], and complete the extinguishing of the [Ashes].

It is worth noting that the [ash warehouse] is often very far away from the [water source], so the [ash] that has been snatched away may be at risk of being taken back during the process of being sent to the [water source].

In the battle for two key positions, both sides will send out a sufficient number of copy characters, and the player's task is to intervene and influence to help their camp win the final victory.

The winning condition for the [Ashes Sect] is to successfully block 5 [water sources] before the [ashes] in the 10 [ash warehouses] are completely extinguished.

The winning condition for [Extinguish the Sect] is: successfully extinguish all the [ashes] in the 10 [ash warehouses] before the 5 [water sources] are completely blocked.

Based on the victory of their camp, the team with the highest contribution among the five teams will pass the level, and the other four will receive a small consolation reward.

The requirements for perfect clearance of the two camps are: [Burning Ash Sect] has no [Burning Ashes] extinguished, all [Water Sources] blocked; [Extinguishing Sect] has no [Water Sources] blocked, all [Burning Ashes] extinguished.

This is also the reason why Yu Zhun stopped Yu Zhu.

The 15 key positions require the participation of players from both camps. A strategy team has a maximum of 15 people, and Yu Zhun’s team is short of one person.

If they kill all their allies, they won’t be able to play.

"Okay." Yu Zhu curled his lips.

She just said that. Having also read the rules, she naturally knew the importance of allies in this dungeon strategy.

"Let's wait and see." Yu Zhun smiled, "Maybe the last team is someone we know?"

While speaking, Yu Zhun couldn't help but think of Lu Wen.

I don't know if I will meet this guy.

They didn't have to wait too long, as faint sounds of conversation were soon heard outside the cathedral.

"Sister, is this the place?"

"Yes, we are quite far away, and the other four teams may have already arrived."

The four teams in the church fell silent at the same time, and all pairs of eyes turned towards the door of the cathedral.

Soon, a pair of long black silk legs with a fleshy, just-right fit, round and full thighs, and slender and strong calves stepped in.

A short-haired girl in black clothes holding a dagger walked into the church first. When she met the staring eyes of the crowd, her movements suddenly froze.

There are so many people...

It’s bad, I’m going to have social phobia…

Yu Zhu, who was standing behind Yu Zhun, was stunned when he saw the familiar figure in front of him, and then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

I go!

Did you read that right?

"Lahil!"

Under the astonished gazes of Yu Zhun and others, Yu Zhu excitedly rushed forward and grabbed Lai'er's hand, "You are here too!"

"Ah?"

Lai'er looked at Yu Zhu with the same surprise in his eyes.

"Yu Zhu, you are here too!"

"Rayle, do you know anyone?"

The voice floated in from outside the door, and then another girl with loose black hair and wearing light armor walked into the church.

The light of the red name was in no way inferior to that of Yu Zhun's name, and it made everyone in the church dizzy.

【Server No. 98324】

【Udyr, Lv40】

Udyr!
Yu Zhun's heart was shaken, and his eyes were fixed on the other party.

Is this the player who cleared the [Purgatory Arena] just like him?

Archer...

I don’t know what the other person’s talent is.

Udyr's gaze first fell on Yu Zhu, who was holding hands with his sister and looked very intimate, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

It was the first time for Lail to be so close to someone other than her.

But then, Udyr noticed a gaze locked on him, and turned his head to meet Yu Jun's eyes.

【Server No. 45239】

[Yu Zhun, Lv40]

It's him?

I didn't expect to meet you here.

After a brief moment of daze, Udyr walked up to Yu Zhun and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, I'm Udyr."

"Yu Zhun." After a moment of silence, Yu Zhun smiled, stretched out his hand, and gently shook hands with the other party.

"I've heard about the name for a long time."

Udyr's pupils suddenly shrank, he looked at Yu Zhun meaningfully, and pulled his hand back.

In front of her, there was a line of text.

[The target's talent level exceeds yours, and the talent acquisition fails]

Above SSS level...are there higher talent levels?

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Extinction Sect, the Langdon Chamber of Commerce.

Lu Wen was the last one to walk into the camp headquarters. His keep-away look and his bloody name made the players of the four attacking teams look solemn.

Behind him, a younger brother glanced at the four teams and spoke in a low voice.

"Server 45239 is not available."

"But server 23993 is here."
