Chapter 535 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou blinked. "Guo Xia discovered Zhou Nanyue's actions, and he and Guo Chengzheng have started to take action as well. Let's go and get involved too. It's good if a few more players die."

"After all, players who are selected or who are confident enough to come here must be skilled. Killing more of them would be more advantageous for us."

Xue Rui grabbed his arm. "Come on, there are two lone ones over here."

They each had one, and... Zhou Nanyue was on the other side of the crowd, while Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia were in the middle of them, moving towards the edge.

If the positions of the three parties are connected, they will form a triangle.

Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia are both players, and their methods are definitely not as good as Lin Leyou's. Therefore, they need to be more careful and cautious, and only make their move at the right time.

If it were just the two of them, they certainly wouldn't dare to act rashly, but now that Zhou Nanyue is taking advantage of the situation, they certainly can't miss such an opportunity.

It would be even better if Zhou Nanyue's actions could be exposed, as this would deprive the players of an ally, since Zhou Nanyue's current strength should not be underestimated.

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui had already mingled among these vengeful spirits, approaching the two players who were being targeted from behind. However, they were both seasoned veterans, and although they were at the very back, they did not want to die here.

They would randomly change direction at any time, or turn their heads to look behind them, and even wave their weapons around. They would also occasionally break out of the encirclement of vengeful spirits. Although the vengeful spirits would catch up even faster, the two of them still had some strength left.

If he and Xue Rui wanted to kill them, they had to strike with deadly accuracy. Lin Leyou's Soul Extraction talent was still unusable, so they could only wait. However, he wasn't afraid, since he had a passive skill that doubled his attack effect.

With this passive talent, combined with his current ghost form, these players are nothing but trash, a bunch of chickens and dogs, no match for him at all. He's just worried that this player might have some kind of one-time defensive item.

If you fail once, the other party will become wary, which will be troublesome. No matter how powerful the attack is, it's useless if it can't hit. Fortunately, I can still reach out, unlike the ghosts in those movies and TV shows.

Xue Rui's side had already started, and Lin Leyou also stopped his wild thoughts. There was no shortcut to dealing with players like this; he just had to go and fight them.

For a vengeful ghost, the most powerful thing is undoubtedly these ghost claws, as well as the ability to control the surrounding vengeful spirits and yin energy. Before making a move, he frantically gathered the scattered yin energy in the surrounding area towards this side!

The entire area... no, not just this area, but even the yin energy on the surrounding mountains is moving, converging here at varying speeds. If you look down from the sky, you can see a huge vortex formed by yin energy, and the center of the vortex is where Lin Leyou is.

Nourished by the rich Yin energy, these vengeful spirits actually became more and more solid, and their attacks even became much stronger. They went from being as weak as a cat scratch to being as strong as a cat scratching twice with one attack.

Although this progress was somewhat insignificant, it couldn't stop the sheer number of vengeful spirits. Even Zhou Nanyue, who was planning to kill two players, had to stop. Only Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia, who were unaffected under Lin Leyou's protection, were able to move around.

"Oh no! These vengeful spirits are getting faster and stronger, and their shrieks are affecting our senses! Everyone be careful!"

"These vengeful spirits have gone berserk. We must leave here as soon as possible, quickly!"

Players who had the resources, ability, and sense of direction disregarded everything else and frantically swung their weapons, dashing left and right as they ran forward. Even Lin Leyou couldn't keep up with their speed.

With his eyes bloodshot, he used his ghostly claws to snap a player's neck, handed the other player to Xue Rui, and then caught up with the slowest player in front of him.

It's been so many days, isn't it time for me, the BOSS, to make an appearance?

As he chased after him, he revealed his physical form. He floated in the air, surrounded by berserk vengeful spirits. These spirits circled around him, becoming quiet and docile.

The sudden silence was so stark that all the players instinctively looked back, and there they saw the BOSS, surrounded by numerous vengeful spirits, appearing and disappearing as the spirits swirled around him—the vengeful ghost BOSS Fu Qingqiu, whom they had been thinking about for a long time.

"It's the BOSS! The BOSS has appeared!"

Before they could even organize themselves, Lin Leyou opened his mouth, revealing some pale, sharp, and gleaming ghost teeth. He imitated the previous vengeful spirits, staring at the players in front of him with a pair of eyes flashing with dark red blood light, and then let out a sharp howl at them!

Not to mention the other players, even Rong Yuwen was clutching his head with a ferocious expression, covering his ears tightly, but doing so had almost no effect!

The shriek of the vengeful ghost BOSS is different from that of a vengeful spirit.

"Everyone, pay attention! The BOSS is coming! Now is not the time to fight the BOSS, retreat! Get out of here!"

The players were terrified when they saw the BOSS rushing towards them with a dense swarm of vengeful spirits. Perhaps it was the negative effect of the scream they had just heard; they were filled with fear and dared not linger for even a second.

Some players are still a bit dazed and haven't fully woken up yet. When they run away in fear, they may make mistakes, such as choosing the wrong direction.

This is when Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia need to step in. Lin Leyou secretly instructs them to deliberately run in the wrong direction and then stay behind to chase down a few players who have strayed from the main group.

As for Zhou Nanyue... Lin Leyou looked at Zhou Nanyue's back. This person really hid well and ran fast. At this moment, he was actually next to Rong Yuwen. This Rong Yuwen was not easy to deal with. Moreover, there were many players over there, and as time went by, they gradually woke up. It was not the time to chase after him.

After receiving Lin Leyou's hint, Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia deliberately ran in the wrong direction, thus avoiding the main group and staying behind. Only after the people in front had run far away did Lin Leyou lead them to find the lone players.

It's easy to kill a lone player, but there's no reward for killing him and Xue Rui—not a single point. It's incredibly stingy, considering that killing one player in the Xiushan Village instance rewards 500,000 points!

So, given this situation, he and Xue Rui also planned to give these players to Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia, since they should be able to get points for killing them.

After they cleared out all the lone players, Rong Yuwen and his group had already run quite far, but they didn't stop to wait for any players who might still be alive.

Lin Leyou floated over there, watching the players frantically fleeing in the distance, and sneered, "They don't seem that united after all..."

Xue Rui did not appear; his existence could not be revealed, not even to Guo Chengzheng and the other two.

Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia had just earned several thousand points each, and now they stood there obediently without saying a word, waiting for Lin Leyou to notice them.

Lin Leyou didn't waste too much time. "You guys go now. Remember to catch up with the people in front quickly, don't let them suspect anything, understand?"

Guo Xia: "Don't worry, we know what's important."

The two of them left quickly, and after they had gone some distance, Lin Leyou returned and found Xue Rui. "Let's go, let's follow them to the village and take a look."

As Xue Rui flew, he counted the number of people from earlier. "There were twenty at the beginning, then ten more, making a total of thirty players. But now, apart from the two of our people who went back, there are only sixteen left."

Lin Leyou said, "Not bad. I killed twelve players this time. However... it was somewhat unexpected. After all, my shout had a pretty good effect... But now that they know about this effect, they will definitely think of ways to deal with it."

Xue Rui said, "It's alright. Of the 100 players, there are now 76... 74 left. The players who died were the strongest among them."

Lin Leyou said, "Of the remaining seventy-four players, ten are newbies, some are opportunists who only acted because they lacked the strength, and some are just timid..."

"After Rong Yuwen goes back this time, he will probably organize all the players to unite and abandon the side quests. They will definitely not protect the villagers anymore."

Xue Rui: "This is also a good thing."

Lin Leyou looked in the direction of the vengeful spirit, "If only the vengeful spirit could leave that place and come to the village. There are hundreds of people in the village. How long would it take us to kill them all?"

Xue Rui, "Don't you have some underlings?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "That's right, there are henchmen, but if they kill someone, it will buy time, and someone might be able to escape."

Xue Rui thought more deeply than him: "Wouldn't it be better if someone ran away? Running away covered in wounds and blood to seek help from other villagers would only make the villagers more panicked."

Lin Leyou said, "That's indeed a good idea. What if all these villagers go to the safe houses?"

"The idea that the safe house's effect would disappear was purely our guess. The safe house's effect is still there, showing no signs of dissipating or even weakening."

Xue Rui said, "It's alright. Ten houses are actually just ten small houses. Even if you fill all ten houses, you can only fit a little over three hundred people at most. The rest will still die."

Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, let's do it this way. Let's go to the village and cause some trouble. First, we need to destroy the door gods at the village chief's house."

Xue Rui: "It's almost done. This gatekeeper is very powerful, but we've already worn down his strength quite a bit."
