I. Rift Traversal New Chapter: Stormchant Part I

The Qin was rotting from within. Marching convicts to Mount Li, Liu Bang saw them scatter into the night — so he freed the rest and vanished into the Mangdang Mountains. But the peaks ran with blood: charlatans butchering villagers in the name of a Snake Emperor made flesh. So Liu Bang climbed, to burn out the evil at its root…

 1. Gameplay

Collect the Snake Emperor Token obtained from quests, place any two of them at Shaohao's Altar to force it to reveal itself. After defeating it, you can open the White Emperor Crate. The team that deals the highest damage to the boss will receive additional crate rewards.

3) Awaken Liu Bang: After defeating the Terracotta General in the hidden chamber, purple essence will guide players to Liu Bang's location. Find the unconscious Liu Bang and remove 3 seals to awaken him and activate the special evacuation points.

At this time, petting the spirit deer will make it give better items in return.
