[Infrastructure + Fourth Natural Disaster]
There is an old saying in Dongshan Village: Don't go out at night!
As night falls, gray mist envelops the land.
Demons run rampant, ...
The night before was quiet, and Lin Xiang had to fly out himself to fish and look for ghosts.
But tonight, perhaps because of the arrival of the players, the entire land is filled with gloomy energy, and demons and monsters that have existed for years are vying to appear, just to find the whereabouts of the meteor.
Although no one knows whether there will be any adventures in the meteors, no one wants to miss the opportunity to become stronger and get good things.
The meteor disappeared when it reached the Shiwandashan Mountains, and only the evil spirits near Dongshan Village saw the falling light.
What's more, after the new sacrificial spirit took office, the evil spirits had not tasted human souls and flesh and blood for a long time.
Lin Xiang originally wanted to meet the players earlier, but who knew that red dots would suddenly appear on the game map!
After he finished speaking to the village chief and the players, he immediately flew into the sky, and the demon-killing formation for the entire village began to operate.
One after another, mindless ghosts emerged from the mountains and from the ground.
Hundreds of ghosts paraded at night, crashing directly into the demon-killing formation without any explanation, and turned into piles of fireworks.
In a village where sacrificial spirits are in charge, these ghosts are complete cannon fodder.
Kill a lv.1 ghost and gain 10 experience points.
Originally, the ghost could provide Lin Xiang with 20 experience points, but because he reached level 4 after killing a giant python and a mandrill in the mountains and forests today, the experience value dropped significantly.
Even so, the continuous reminders still allowed Lin Xiang's experience bar to increase rapidly, bringing him closer and closer to level 4.
Yu Xiaoqi looked up at the fireworks exploding from time to time in the sky. She turned her head and asked, "What's that over there? A monster?"
"Could it be a cutscene from the game?" Xie Longtao guessed.
Wang Xiuyuan, his uncle and nephew standing nearby, had long known that these "Yellow Turban Warriors" were ignorant of the ways of the world and unfamiliar with the situation in Dongshan Village or even the entire land.
So Wang Xiuyuan took the initiative to explain: "I don't know what happened tonight, the evil spirits rioted. Lord Ji Ling is protecting our village and fighting the evil spirits. Our village has a demon-slaying formation specially set up by the government, so ordinary evil spirits can't break in."
Han Mu listened attentively and took the old man's words to heart.
None of them interrupted the NPC or did anything unfriendly. After all, the NPC's favorability needed to be raised to the highest level, especially the village chief of the novice village.
"I hope Master Ji Ling can return victorious." Wang Minghai also looked up at the figure holding a long sword in the sky. As long as this figure remained standing, the village would be fine.
The evil demons were making so much noise that unless you were in a deep sleep, you would have been awakened.
The villagers all knew the lesson that they could not go out after dark. If they went out, not only would they not be able to help, but they would provide food for the evil spirits and increase the number of targets they could attack.
The shivering villagers didn't know what was happening outside, so they could only hide in the room and shiver.
At this moment, dozens of wishes gathered on Lin Xiang in the sky.
"Master Jiling, may we be safe and sound."
"I hope Master Jiling can repel those monsters."
"The village must be defended!"
Prayers like these continue to emerge.
Lin Xiang's incense value had originally hit bottom, but now it skyrocketed to more than 70 points.
Now he felt more confident. At worst, he could spend some incense money to convert all these evil spirits and send them to see King Yama.
"Hey, so many gods in heaven have disappeared. Can the underworld still function normally?" This question lingered in his mind. If the evil spirits in the underworld also disappeared, wouldn't there be chaos on earth!
If this is the case, it can explain why ghosts are rampant at present.
In fact, Lin Xiang can solve the current crisis without showing up, but he wants to establish an image of a master in front of the players, so that it will be more convenient for him to issue tasks, sell items, etc.
There is no free lunch in the world. If players want to obtain good equipment or even skills in the Novice Village, they can only purchase them from themselves with money or experience points.
There are still thresholds for purchasing items. If you don’t have enough favorability, you can’t buy it even if you have money.
This is what is called showing off one’s power in public!
Lin Xiang actually felt that time was a bit tight. He had just arrived in the game world not long ago and had not yet completed a thorough exploration of himself and his surroundings, but he had already summoned players.
In other words, he is currently less than level 4. If he is slower than other players in terms of upgrading speed and becoming stronger, it will not be a good thing.
It just so happens that there are so many monsters attacking tonight, which can not only quickly gain experience points and raw materials, but also leave a deep impression on players who are new to the game.
The ghosts continued to attack the demon-killing formation, and Lin Xiang keenly noticed that something was wrong.
The power of the demon-killing formation seemed to be weakening. It could easily kill this level 1 monster before, but now its speed was getting slower and slower, and some ghosts had already squeezed in!
The energy of any formation is limited, and it will take a while to recover after being consumed by these little monsters.
Seeing the ghost that broke through the defense line and rushed to the ground, Lin Xiang was not in a hurry, and the Nine Pure Yang Swords directly stimulated the sword energy.
A golden-red sword energy suddenly appeared, and Yulong raised his head and swept away all the ghosts like breaking through the wind and clouds.
The Pure Yang Art and the Nine Pure Yang Swords are the most effective against ghost-like creatures. Even though Lin Xiang has just started learning, he can still exert his full effect.
Get rid of the small monsters before dealing with the rest of the evil spirits to prevent them from harming the villagers.
The sword energy is everywhere. Although he is a land god, he looks like a sword immortal.
Xie Longtao exclaimed in amazement: "That's so cool! I want to learn this move too."
"I don't know when we can learn it. It would be great if we could fly with a sword." Yu Xiaoqi said with anticipation. She really liked this free and easy state.
Bingxue Piaopiao's face was heavy. "Is the game world so dangerous? I thought it would be easy."
"This sacrificial spirit only looks powerful in the early stages of the game. Once we develop, we can beat him in minutes." Although Tai Er Zhenren was jealous of Lin Xiang's flying and sword energy, he didn't care at all. He was sure that he could surpass the other party.
Han Mu had played fairy-tale and cultivation games before, but he had only played them by looking at the content on the computer screen, not by experiencing it firsthand.
"In previous novels, cultivating immortals required spiritual roots. We players should all be able to cultivate immortals, otherwise why are we just here for sightseeing?"
"I hope this handsome and powerful spirit will win soon. I can't wait to explore this new world!"
Lin Xiang in the sky had very good hearing. After hearing Master Tai Er's words that he was going to beat him, he silently used the NPC template to make adjustments.
[Dongshan Village's ancestral spirit Lin Xiang's favorability towards you decreases by 10 points]
When Master Tai Er heard this reminder suddenly, he was a little confused.
I was just watching the fight from below and didn't do anything, so why did my favorability decrease?
He approached Xie Longtao as if he was familiar with him and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you receive the favorability notification just now?"
Xie Longtao shook his head. "No, whose favorability did you gain?"
After saying that, he set his sights on the two NPCs next to him. These were the village chiefs of the Novice Village, and he must go up and flatter them later.
"But I did lower the favorability of the sacrificial spirit." Tai Er Zhenren had a sad face, completely confused as to why, and murmured: "I don't think I did anything. This sacrificial spirit is too petty..."
Before he could finish his words, he received another reminder from the game that Lin Xiang's favorability had dropped by another 5 points.
Too frightened, Master Tai Er immediately shut up and didn't dare to say anything more.
Lin Xiang didn't have the extra energy to care about the players' thoughts in the sky because more and more monsters appeared.
Back then, dealing with a green-faced ghost required consuming incense points to unleash his innate skills. Now, he has become much stronger, and has even learned some techniques and moves. He is no longer a weakling.
The difficulty of killing the Green-Faced Ghost with the Nine Swords of Pure Yang is not much different from killing an ordinary ghost, but the experience points gained are more.
Not only does Lin Xiang's combat effectiveness increase in his own territory, but his spiritual power recovery speed and health recovery speed are many times faster than other monsters, giving him the advantage of geographical location.
The sword energy was like snow and clouds, the cold light suddenly rose, Chunyang chased the moon, and the entire sky above Dongshan Village became his personal show.
He didn't know how many monsters he had killed, but suddenly his experience points broke through the threshold and reached level 5!
It takes 1,000 experience points to go from lv.5 to lv.6, which is relatively speaking only a small increase.
When Lin Xiang was immersed in the joy of upgrading, a fierce ghost suddenly flew over, causing the temperature around him to drop a lot.
This evil ghost seemed to merge into the surrounding sky, which was as dark as ink.
But it was impossible to hide in this small piece of land and was discovered by Lin Xiang directly.
However, his Nine Pure Yang Swords only injured the opponent and did not cause fatal damage.
The evil ghost was getting closer and closer, and suddenly stretched out its sharp claws, grabbing towards Lin Xiang's face, with a chilling chill, as if to freeze his mind.
Lin Xiang only regretted that he had too few skills. He was not a real swordsman and could not break all the techniques with one move.
The level of Chun Yang Jue is very low. Although it can restrain evil spirits, it has a limit.
In order not to show his weakness in front of the players, Lin Xiang waved his sleeves lightly, and then a golden light enveloped the evil spirit, directly liberating it!
[Kill a lv.8 evil spirit and gain 300 experience points.]
“Amazing!”
"That ghost at the back looked very powerful, but it was easily killed by the sacrificial spirit."
"What's this trick?"
"It's so cold... Is this the world of cultivation? I'm really looking forward to it."
Han Mu, Xie Longtao and other players rubbed their hands, stamped their feet and hugged their hands to keep warm due to the cold.
Even if there is no direct fight with the evil spirit, this monster that can affect the temperature of the surrounding environment is definitely not an ordinary thing.
Even so, Ji Ling still played it down, his every move was relaxed, without a trace of pressure on his face, his strength was unfathomable!
Just when ghosts were invading frequently in the sky, the soil at the entrance of the village bulged like waves, and then an extremely huge earthworm drilled out from the ground, and then drilled back down quickly. Its movements were so agile that the soil seemed to have no resistance at all.
