CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 162 CYCLOPS RACE

The Cyclops Race, one of the Hundred Races on the Rafam Continent.

The Cyclops Race is renowned for their formidable defense among the Hundred Races.

In terms of defense capabilities alone at the same level, the Cyclops Race can easily rank among the top ten of the Hundred Races.

Before the Demon Race Invasion, the Cyclops Race, like most races, lived a life almost untouched by the outside world.

Initially, their activity range was limited to the area around the Giant Peak Mountain Range.

However, by chance, they discovered a place as if it were a Peach Blossom Spring.

Following that, they moved the entire tribe to that mysterious place.

Before they moved, people occasionally saw them in Black Tortoise City.

But as they relocated, this race appeared less and less in people’s eyes, almost reaching a state of isolation.

This situation persisted until the Demon Race Invasion, when the Demon Race was about to capture Black Tortoise City.

They appeared as a whole tribe on the Giant Peak Mountain, joining the Hundred Races Alliance Army in a desperate resistance against the Demon Race’s attacks.

As an important defensive force among the Hundred Races, the Cyclops Race’s contribution to the victory against the Demonic War was undoubtedly enormous.

However, contributions and sacrifices often go hand in hand.

Being one of the special races, the Cyclops Race, like other such unique races, had a fatal weakness.

That is a low fertility rate.

Therefore, even at its peak, the Cyclops number was only tens of thousands.

After the war against the Demonic forces, this number sharply dwindled to merely a few thousand elderly, weak, and women, as tragic as a near extinction.

As the war against the Demons ended, the few remaining Cyclops, less than a hundred, chose to return to their tribe.

However, this unique race vanished completely from public sight afterwards.

There have been investigations into the truth behind their disappearance, but for some reason, the results have never been published.

Moreover, without any allied races for the Cyclops Race, the matter gradually faded from attention with time among the other races.

As for the unresolved mystery of the Cyclops Race disappearance, it remains unknown to this day.

...

On a hill, Lin Yi and the others, including the Drunkard, stood dumbfounded at the scenery before them, unable to remain calm for a long time.

Sweet Orange, being a girl, was the first to be stunned by the sight, exclaiming:

"It’s so beautiful!"

Zhang Xinying also sighed:

"It’s just like in a painting."

The little girl ran around excitedly,

"It feels so nice here!"

Red Eyes followed behind,

"Be careful, slow down."

A gentle breeze blew, with a lush green meadow and blooming flowers spreading under the hill.

The soft sunlight added a poetic brilliance to the picturesque scenery.

Drunkard Shengshi asked:

"Where is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes instinctively turned to Lin Yi.

And Lin Yi: "..."

Now, Lin Yi was as confused as they were.

Even though he was reborn, he wasn’t omniscient, you know?

Zhang Xinying instinctively looked towards the Werewolf Prophet.

At this moment, the Werewolf Prophet suddenly spoke,

"This is actually an isolated island away from the mainland of Rafam, but where exactly it is, no one knows."

"I only took a look when passing by back then, without any detailed understanding."

"And the village of the Cyclops Race used to be on the plain below the hill."

But when Lin Yi looked over, the plain below the hill was empty, nothing but grass and flowers, with no village in sight.

However, what surprised Lin Yi the most was that there were monsters under the plain?

He hadn’t noticed before, only after seeing the shadow of an equipment did he spot the small figure lying in the grass,

Demonized Viper Lv31

Seeing Lin Yi not moving for a long time, Tian Ci couldn’t help but ask:

"Boss Feng, how do we proceed?"

This brings up the game’s quest system.

Unlike traditional online game quest systems, the task system of "Glory of the Gods" is more open-ended.

In traditional online games, tasks would give you a specific or general task hint at every progress, helping us complete the tasks.

However, in this game, nearly all tasks only give you a small hint at the start, and then tell you what the NPC wants, leaving the rest to individual creativity.

Whether you plunder or follow the steps, as long as you bring back what the task issuer wants, it’s fine.

Like now, aside from the initial hint, there are no further instructions on how to proceed.

To Sankalo, who assigned the task, as long as you can bring back West, it doesn’t matter where you found him or how you brought him back; it won’t affect your task outcome.

That’s the tricky part of the game; when you encounter situations like this during mission progress, everyone is clueless and bewildered.

Including Lin Yi.

But now, Lin Yi could confirm that the mission progress had steered off the track from finding West to the quest of finding the Cyclops Race.

To get further mission clues, it’s likely the Cyclops Race might have the answers.

Since the history of this race has appeared, it’s impossible for this race to vanish into thin air without leaving any useful information.

Having made up his mind, it’s certain that nothing exists on this barren hill.

To find the Cyclops Race’s whereabouts, one must search the dense forest far away across the plain.

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly spoke:

"Someone’s here."

As soon as he said this, while everyone had yet to react, Lin Yi pointed just ahead and activated a skill,

"Arcane Missile"

"Bang!"

"-1083"

A face full of bewilderment, a strangely dressed man appeared in everyone’s view with a damage number rising.

At this moment, everyone had no time to think, Drunkard Shengshi and Shiyu almost simultaneously launched skills at the target:

"Charge!"

"-419"

"-216"

A passive trigger, target stunned for 1 second

Stable as a mountain followed closely:

"Powerful Strike."

"-310"

A passive trigger, target stunned for 1 second

Zhan Chen drew his bow and arrow, while Shuai Diao Zha began chanting his spell.

Divine Power Totem was planted in the center of the battlefield in an instant

Red Eyes and Tian Ci entered Stealth, heading toward the target;

When Zhan Chen’s Chasing Wind arrow hit the target;

Shuai Diao Zha finished spell chanting;

Tian Ci and Shuai Diao Zha continued simultaneously emerging from the shadows, two daggers glinting cold and a Fire Dragon Tornado hit the opponent successively.

The invisible man revealed by Lin Yi was instantly killed under the astonished and incredulous gaze!

Until the target fell, everyone reacted, looking at each other in disbelief:

"Why would there be someone here?"

Meanwhile, in a Resurrection Hall, Hojo Takeshi, recalling the scene he just went through, his eyes were filled with shock, and alongside an anger rose,

"Baka!"

...
