Ch 12 - System Update

The moon blades flying, the toad shooting out water dragons, and bright light was shining all around.

The battle happening nearby was thrilling, but Chen Xing had no time to watch it. He was currently running for his life.

He thought that since he had a Soil-Drilling gu, he would escape without worry, so he hid behind the elders and quietly watched the battle at first. Unexpectedly, the giant toad shoot them up with a long river, and the direction of the river was where he was standing. He had no flying gu, and he was surrounded by water. No matter how fast he burrowed, he couldn't be faster than this rushing river!

Chen Xing yelled at himself, "I didn't knew the height of the heavens, and I had though myself as invincible if I get a powerful Gu worm. How wrong I was!" When the water reached him, he firmly grasped a dead wood and was swept away with it involuntarily. He didn't know how many sips of water he drank while trying to survive, but he felt like the sky was spinning, everything falling rapidly, and he was directly kicked out by the system. He wanted to go online but was told that his character status was abnormal and he could not log in.

"I was so proud of myself, but now I won't be able to do it ever again in the future." After exiting the game, Chen Xing concluded.

Sometimes, it's unavoidable to make mistakes, but one must always learn their lessons.

Boarding the forum, Gu Yue Clan's War with the River Swallowing Toad was indeed put on the top of the list. The battle between the clan elders and the giant frog was not photographed by the player. The post was a picture of Gu Yue village being protected by a blood-colored light cover, and outside the cover, whole area was submerged in water.

There was post below that said, "Gu yue Clan's hidden boss, the first Gen Gu Yue, sacrificed a shield to protect the majority of players from trouble." To put it bluntly, the system saved the lives of the novice players. After all, the game makers should also consider the player's feelings and creating such a difficult game did not make sense where there was no chance if survival.

After visiting the forum, Chen Xing came to the official website again. Last time he had learned about Refining Gu on the official website, and he discovered that the official website had lots of useful information, so every time he started visiting official website to check the official information.

Entering the official website, he was startled by a news that was just released. The content of the news was as follows.
