I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

New Beginning City, a hidden basement.

Blood Wolf War Soul sat behind a dilapidated desk with a piece of paper in front of him.

There was only one line of text on the paper.

"To the Blood Wolf Guild and the forces behind it: We are aware of your entire plan, including the cross-server killing operation in seven days – Myth Guild."

Blood Wolf Warrior stared at the piece of paper for a full three minutes.

His hands were trembling.

It wasn't out of fear, it was out of anger.

"Who delivered it?" he asked in a low voice.

His deputy, Shadow Spider, standing opposite him, swallowed hard.

"I don't know. This piece of paper was on my desk when I came into the office this morning. There were no signs of forced entry on the doors or windows."

"In other words, their people can come and go from our base at any time."

The Shadow Spider remained silent.

Blood Wolf Soul crumpled the paper into a ball and slammed it onto the table.

"damn it!"

He stood up and paced back and forth in the cramped basement.

"How did they know? Only I and the people above me knew about that plan; even you don't know all the details."

Shadow Spider cautiously asked, "Guild Master, is it possible... that it was leaked from above?"

"Impossible." Blood Wolf Soul shook his head. "Those above are even less willing to be exposed than we are. If they leaked it, they're finished too."

"That means there's a problem within us."

Blood Wolf War Soul stopped and turned to look at the Shadow Poison Spider.

"You mean, the Myth Guild has planted someone within our ranks?"

"I'm not sure, but I can't think of any other explanation."

Blood Wolf War Soul fell silent.

He thought of that person, Li Wu, who was like a flower seen through the fog.

From the first time he was defeated by him in the game, to his shoulders being broken in real life, to his arrow killing hundreds of people in a guild war... he lost completely every time they faced each other.

Now, even their secret plans have been seen through.

"What kind of monster is he?" Blood Wolf War Soul whispered.

The Shadow Spider did not answer.

Blood Wolf War Soul sat down again, forcing himself to calm down.

"Contact them," he said. "Tell them about it. Let them decide whether to continue or withdraw."

"What if they decide to continue?"

"Then let's continue." A ruthless glint flashed in Blood Wolf's eyes. "Whether the other side knows it or not, a level 100 or higher expert has arrived. What can a level 80 player do? Even if he knows we're coming, he can't stop us."

The Shadow Spider nodded and turned to contact the people above.

Blood Wolf Soul sat alone in the basement, staring at the crumpled piece of paper.

"Looking at flowers through the fog..." he gritted his teeth, "This time, let's see how you hide."

……

Three hours later.

The Shadow Spider is back.

"What did they say?" Blood Wolf War Soul asked.

"They said... the plan remains unchanged." The Shadow Spider's expression was somewhat complicated. "But the time has been moved up."

"Ahead of schedule? By how early?"

"Five days later."

Blood Wolf Battle Spirit was stunned for a moment. "It was supposed to be seven days, now it's five?"

"Yes, the higher-ups said that since the other side already knows, the longer we delay, the worse it will be for us. We should act before they are fully prepared."

Blood Wolf Soul thought about it and felt it made sense.

"Where are the people? How many should be sent?"

"Three," said the Shadow Spider. "All are above level 100, one of them... level 105."

Level 105.

Blood Wolf War Soul's breathing quickened.

A level 105 player is among the top in the entire Origin Realm. For someone like that to kill a level 80-something player is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"That's enough," said Blood Wolf Warrior. "Absolutely enough."

"There's one more thing they mentioned," Shadow Spider added.

"What?"

"They asked us to cooperate in the operation within Area 21. Specifically, when the operation was launched, we were to use our people to lure Fog Seeker to a designated location. Those three people would be waiting at that location."

"Force him?" Blood Wolf War Soul sneered. "What's there to force? Our guild members are like paper in front of him."

"No need for a direct confrontation," said the Shadow Spider. "The command above means using hostages."

Blood Wolf War Soul narrowed his eyes.

"hostage?"

"Yes, arrest his guild members and force him to come to his rescue."

Blood Wolf War Soul was silent for a few seconds, then slowly smiled.

"Good idea."

He stood up and walked to a whiteboard on the wall.

Several photos were posted on the whiteboard; they were screenshots of the game from the core members of the Myth Guild.

Blood Wolf's gaze swept over the photos, finally settling on one.

The photo shows a female figure.

Hua Zitong.

"It's her," said Blood Wolf War Soul. "Capture her. Fog Gaze will definitely come."

Shadow Spider frowned. "Hua Zitong is the vice president of the Myth Guild, she must have someone protecting her, and she rarely acts alone."

"Then let's create an opportunity." Blood Wolf War Soul turned around. "Five days is enough."

The deepest part of Wanlong Tomb.

Li Wu stood in front of a huge stone gate.

The stone gate is about 30 meters high and 20 meters wide, and its surface is covered with dense ancient dragon script.

The dragon pattern emitted a dark golden light, making it particularly eye-catching in the dim underground space.

Above the stone gate are three large characters: Heart of Ten Thousand Dragons.

Li Wu reached out and touched the stone door.

A system notification popped up.

【Heart of Ten Thousand Dragons (Special Area)】

Recommended Level: 95-100

Recommended team size: 20 or more people

[WARNING: The monsters in this area are extremely high level and have special mechanics. Entering alone is extremely risky.]

[Enter?]

Li Wu chose "Yes".

The stone gate slowly opened.

Behind the door was a staircase leading downwards. The walls on both sides of the staircase were inlaid with countless dragon bones, each bone emitting a faint golden light.

Li Wu walked down the steps.

After walking for about five minutes, the stairs came to an end.

Before me was a huge circular space.

This space is much larger than any of the previous altars.

The dome is 200 meters high and has a diameter of over 500 meters.

The ground of the entire space was a flat black rock, covered with intricate array patterns.

In the very center of the space was a huge dragon skeleton.

It's not the bones of a dragonborn, but the complete skeleton of a real dragon.

The skeleton is at least 100 meters long and has a wingspan of over 150 meters.

It lay curled up in the center of the space, its head drooping and its wings folded, as if it were asleep.

Li Wu's energy falcon flew over.

The moment the information was relayed back, Li Wu's pupils contracted sharply.

[Ancient Dragon King Onyxia (LV100 World Boss)]

Health Points: 50,000,000

Fifty million blood.

Level 100 World Boss.

Li Wu stood there, staring at the enormous dragon skeleton for a long time.

Fifty million HP.

Even if each of his Blazing Sun Piercing Arrows deals 100,000 damage, it would still take 500 shots. At one shot every three seconds, that would require 25 minutes of pure output time.

Moreover, this is a level 100 world leader.

Its attack power, skills, and mechanics are far superior to those of the previous level 90+ lords.

"We can't win," Li Wu concluded.

But he noticed something else.

Scattered around the Dragon King's skeleton were numerous small monsters.

【Dragon Soul Fragment (LV95 Elite)】

[HP: 120 million]

【Dragon Soul Fragment (LV97 Elite)】

[HP: 140 million]

【Dragon Soul Fragment (LV98 Elite)】

[HP: 150 million]

There were at least hundreds of them, densely packed together.

Their levels range from 95 to 98, and their health is between 1.2 million and 1.5 million.

Li Wu's eyes lit up.

"These are the ones I want."
