Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start-Chapter 109 - 88: Dark Valley
Mr. Baiyi: ....who would seriously hide a magic staff that far?
But if that’s the case, it might really be true, because before players would resurrect in ten seconds, meaning that in those ten seconds, they could watch their bodies disappear and wait for their consciousness to be pulled back to the revival point.
However, things are different now. After being fiercely slaughtered to server closure, the players’ resurrection rules were changed. If Demacia’s resurrection time is one hour or even longer, perhaps they could leave their consciousness in the land of death, watching the killer...
Mr. Baiyi suddenly had an idea: can players become self-destructing monitors, throwing the Guard Brigade into the enemy’s headquarters to get killed, and then hide in a corner to watch the live broadcast?
As soon as he had this thought, Mr. Baiyi couldn’t resist wanting to experiment a bit, though unfortunately, now was not the time.
After some thought, the Power of Contract flickered, and Mr. Baiyi snapped his fingers fashionably.
Buzz~
Space vibrated, and amid the players’ exclamations, a mechanical giant dragon suddenly approached, exuding terrifying dragon power as it circled in the sky.
[You are intimidated by Dragon Power, Speed -30%, Power -20%]
The players’ eyes lit up. Although their attributes were reduced, they all stared wide-eyed at the colossal entity in the sky, full of eagerness, seemingly planning to reach out and touch it once it came down.
After all, the giant dragon usually stayed on the city walls, where they could only watch and could not reach. Any player attempting to get past the checkpoint had been shot dead on the spot.
"Take me there. If it’s true, I’ll give you the lost magic staff," Mr. Baiyi said with a smile.
Demacia’s eyes lit up. Does this mean he could ride this dragon? This, this, this... this wave of crying and wailing is worth it!
"No problem, no problem, I am a good citizen, and if anything unusual happens, I’ll definitely report to Mr. Baiyi immediately!" Demacia nodded repeatedly.
Stared at by resentful eyes, he couldn’t help but straighten his back, as if saying: See, this is how a crying child gets milk, you don’t understand a damn thing!
The corner of the Guard Brigade’s mouth twitched, what kind of dog-shit luck....
The next moment, a force brought them five along, flying into the sky with Mr. Baiyi.
Under the envious gazes of the players, the dragon spread its wings, and the six instantly disappeared from the Inner City District.
"Is this what being a Dragon Knight feels like? Love it, love it!"
Demacia shouted, glancing at his teammates, boot-licking as he said, "Mr. Baiyi, the one who said they were going to let the monsters siege the city was an old guy wearing an angel mask, and opposite him was someone in a hood, with their face hidden. The exact location...."
He stuttered a bit, his eyes becoming blank, familiar to players who knew this was him watching the playback recording.
Mr. Baiyi was not anxious. The mechanical giant dragon flew to the city wall of the Outer City District’s West City wall, its scarlet eyes watching over the West City. Players, residents, and soldiers all looked this way.
But they all knew this was Mr. Baiyi’s thing, so none dared to approach.
Of course, players didn’t approach because city walls were off-limits to non-soldier units; anyone who got close would be shot.
After about thirty seconds or so, Demacia said, "I remember now, that place is called Dark Valley! They’ve already gone there!"
Mr. Baiyi paused, immediately recalling breaking into Dongwu City’s Mutated Zone with Old Wolf. It seemed... that was the name.
The boss there was a powerful Abyss Lord, who, upon descending with the Xiya Continent’s beings, had its power limited to Level 69, at the peak of the Golden Middle Tier. It was very cunning, only using Old Wolf to collect the essence blood of the entire city, to eventually break through to the Golden Upper Tier.
After the players’ revival point was forcibly relocated, it ultimately died in a cutscene, at the hands of the Legendary Berserker.
Unexpectedly, despite so many changes, it’s still this Mutated Zone!
The timing, however, was earlier. The Old City Lord’s vitality had not yet faded. Just the Mutated Zone alone, even if the Black Night Rose could control the city walls, would be meaningless...
If it was a siege planned by the Black Night Rose, then they must have more tricks up their sleeves...
"You’re pretty good. Can you tell me where you heard the news now?" Mr. Baiyi’s tone became grave.
At the same time, his regard for the players grew even stronger.

Introduction: The dangerous rose has revealed its thorns, uproot it, kill it!]
Demacia was absolutely excited, pointing quickly to a building not far away: "It’s over there, there’s a tunnel underground, and inside the tunnel is a basement!"
Mr. Baiyi looked over, and it turned out to be a school in the Outer City District!
His eyes showed some restraint, speaking calmly: "Wait for me here, I’ll come back to find you later."
As he said, his Spiritual Manipulation controlled his body to fly down, and then without hesitation, he pierced his Spiritual Power into the Ring of Protection.
Buzz~
A special message flashed, sent towards the City Lord’s Mansion. The purpose of this ring was to protect; while predicting danger, it could also transmit this premonition to specific units, namely the City Lord.
Feeling a gentle gaze directed at him, Mr. Baiyi spoke softly: "Lord City Lord, the situation here is quite serious. I might not be able to handle it; I’ll need your help."
After about three seconds, a phantom of an elder gradually solidified, space ripples continuously flickering.
The Old City Lord and Mr. Baiyi arrived at the school entrance together: "Is there a problem here?"
Mr. Baiyi nodded: "It might be a branch of the Black Night Rose in Dongwu City. Marvel heard a lot of information here. Let’s resolve this first, and then I’ll elaborate with you." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The City Lord nodded, exuding no aura, like a grandfather bringing a stern grandson, unhurriedly entering the institution named East Saint Academy.
The school cannot afford any mishaps. If a fierce battle erupts here, the losses would be too great. So, the simplest way is to gather people and ensure foolproof measures.
Mr. Baiyi would not play the hero. Dongwu City is his now and will be in the future. It’s time for those rats to pay the price.
He, Mr. Baiyi, never fights battles he has no confidence in winning.
