“Knights, clean up the battlefield. Don’t let these filthy demon corpses pollute Jinyao City’s holy land!” Chris raised the spear in his hand and commanded the Knights.

“Yes, Sir Chris!” The other knights obeyed Chris’ orders and began to clean up the battlefield. They dragged the demon corpses outside the boundaries of Jinyao City. Naturally, there would be magical beasts that would appear and eat the demon corpses.

“Let’s return to Jinyao City!” Chris led the Knights back to the city.

When they reached the outside of the city gate, the guard Knights at the city gate saluted Chris and the others.

“Congratulations, Sir Chris. You have returned in triumph with all the Knights!” shouted the knight guards in unison.

At this moment, a guard stood out and said to Lu Yuan, “New Knight of Jinyao City, I’m very sorry for doubting your identity just now!” He bowed and apologized to Lu Yuan. He was the city gate guard Knight who stopped Lu Yuan today and questioned him.

“It’s okay. On the contrary, you did a good job. You shouldn’t allow any suspicious person into Jinyao City,” Lu Yuan said to the city gate guard Knight.

“Open the city gate and let the Knights enter the city!” As the city gate guard Knight’s voice fell, Jinyao City’s large gate opened gradually.

Lu Yuan and the Knights entered the city. At this time, Chris casually said to Lu Yuan, “New Knight, what is your name?”

“The Honorable Sir Chris, my name is Lu Yuan,” Lu Yuan said to Chris.

“Lu Yuan, you have not officially become a Knight of Jinyao City. To become an official Jinyao City Knight, you need a Jinyao Knight Badge issued by the City Lord!” As he said that, Chris pointed at the shiny badge on his chest.

“I see. How may I obtain the Jinyao Knight Badge from the City Lord?” Lu Yuan asked Chris.

historical

“You are already qualified to obtain the Jinyao Knight Badge. I will report your bravery to the City Lord and your achievements in killing the demons. Then you shall go with me to collect all the equipment of a Jinyao Knight,” Chris said to Lu Yuan.

“Yes, Sir Chris!” Lu Yuan bowed to Chris and followed Chris to Jinyao City’s Knights registration office to collect the equipment.

Shortly after, Chris and Lu Yuan arrived at the Knights registration office in Jinyao City.

At the entrance of the registration office, an old man was sitting on the recliner and yawning.

“Peter, I brought a new Knight to register and collect the equipment!” Chris said to the old man at the door.

“Oh! You’ve come at a bad time!” said the old man at the door. He stood up immediately.

“Oh? Why?” Lu Yuan asked.

“We’re out of the Holy Light armor, and the materials for making the Holy Light armor haven’t been delivered to me yet!” Peter said to Chris and Lu Yuan. He had a look of regret on his face.

“I guess we’ll have to come back another day. I’m sorry, Lu Yuan. I’ve brought you here for nothing,” Chris said to Lu Yuan apologetically.

At this moment, Peter said, “As long as you can go to the Desert of Death to the north of Jinyao City and get four Sand Crystals, I can forge the Holy Light armor for you today. Moreover, it’s a strengthened Holy Light armor!”

“I wonder if you have the courage,” Peter said to Lu Yuan.

[ Peter has a mission for you — get four Sand Crystals ]

“Of course!” Lu Yuan nodded at Peter and accepted the mission.

“Very good, as expected of a Jinyao Knight. After you get the Holy Light armor, look for me outside the East Gate. I’ll take you to the City Lord to get the Jinyao Knight Badge!” Chris praised Lu Yuan before riding away.

“Mr. Peter, farewell!” Lu Yuan said goodbye to Peter and rode his white horse to the north of Jinyao City.

Lu Yuan was stopped by the guards at the North Gate as soon as he arrived. A city guard Knight said to Lu Yuan, “Knight! Please show me your pass to leave the city!”

“Holy Knight Nick is my teacher. Today, I’m going to the Desert of Death to look for Sand Crystals under his orders!” Lu Yuan said to the city guard Knight.

Sure enough, after hearing the name “Holy Knight Nick”, the city gate guard Knight immediately let him out.

Lu Yuan sighed with emotion. The title “Holy Knight” in Jinyao City was more useful than any pass.

After leaving the city, Lu Yuan headed to the north. Soon, he arrived at the edge of the Desert of Death.

The Desert of Death looked very calm on the surface and did not feel dangerous at all. However, Lu Yuan knew that the danger of the Desert of Death was hidden in the sand.

And these Sand Crystals could only be found in the depths of the Desert of Death. In his previous life, countless people who stepped into the Desert of Death would mysteriously lose HP and die. They would not even be able to walk out of this map no matter how hard they tried.

Because once they stepped into the Desert of Death, the sand under their feet would change. The Desert of Death was a huge natural labyrinth.

Moreover, there were countless monsters hidden under the sand, springing up on people unaware.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan was very familiar with this place in his previous life. After studying the Desert of Death in his previous life, he finally found the principle of this desert and a small path that would not be attacked by the monsters under the sand.

Lu Yuan rode the white horse and then stopped in place. He did not move at all, as if waiting for an opportunity.

Then, Lu Yuan began to ride the white horse slowly. The speed of the white horse was slow and steady. Not long after entering the Desert of Death, Lu Yuan stopped again. This time, there was an endless stream of sand gathering under the feet of the White Horse.

“Almost time,” Lu Yuan muttered.

Then, he rode the white horse forward again. Not long after, he stopped again. The sand under the feet of the white horse was constantly retreating. It looked like the white horse was constantly moving forward, but the white horse and Lu Yuan were actually still on the same spot.

Soon, pieces of Sand Crystals appeared in front of Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan stopped the white horse in its place while he used Shadow Following to slowly approach the Sand Crystals.

This was because each Sand Crystal had a sand scorpion guarding it.

[ sand scorpion ]

Level: 27!

HP: 3,500!

Description: A magical beast with a terrifyingly toxic tail needle. The guardian of the Sand Crystals. It can absorb the strength of the Sand Crystals and hide in the sand, making it difficult to see. It is an assassin hidden in the desert.

Although Lu Yuan was not afraid of the sand scorpion now, the Desert of Death was full of strange things.. It was better to be careful.
