Chapter 326: Another Appointment (Revised)

The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, but the barrier of Nuhelu still kept them all out. The white snow reflected the red true fire in the distance, illuminating the originally dark night.

“Rustle, rustle—”

A sound of snow surging was heard, and the players were drawn to look around, and soon they locked onto a bulging snow mound not far away.

"That thing got in!"

Sure enough, the snow bag shook, and soon two pitch-black arms stretched out from the snow.

The brown-black skin was tightly wrapped around the bones, and the long claws were unconsciously grabbing at the air.

Without waiting for the thing to come out, Chakota shouted loudly and skillfully pushed over a few fireballs. The fireballs were similar in color to the real fire in the distance, both with a circle of light golden halo. They hit the bulging snow piles and the two arms sticking out of the snow piles with a thump.

As soon as the fireball hit the monster, it burned violently. The thick ice and snow on the ground melted almost instantly, revealing a deep earth pit. In the earth pit, a half-humanoid monster appeared. Unlike the human sacrifice in the secret realm of Zhongzhou, this monster had a head, but no eyeballs. The place where the eyes should be was empty, and one could even see the bones of the exposed eye sockets.

Everyone could only see half of the monster's body twisting back and forth in the pit, its arms struggling violently, as if it was grabbing at something. Then, Chakota's true fire engulfed it, and then it shot up into the sky, becoming a flame several feet high like the one in the distance.

Chakota was worried that the players would be frightened, so he comforted them in a soft voice, "Don't worry, the Hubuyu clan's barrier is very reliable, but it's not as good underground. Occasionally, a few Soul Eaters can get in, but not too many, only about three or five. Wait until the second half of the night, and everything will be fine."

Nietzsche looked at the Soul Eater who was screaming silently and gradually melting in the flames, and asked with a complicated expression: "You...do you do this every day?"

Chakota replied: "During the three-yang month, they are quiet for three months. On other days, only during the new moon and full moon, they are like corpses. At other times, they are like this almost every day."

"Why are there so many Soul Eaters?"

"No one knows," Chakota shook his head and said, "They seem to appear out of nowhere, but they keep coming. To this day, no one knows how they came into being."

One player speculated: "Maybe it was someone from the Sword Sect who changed?"

Chakota immediately denied it, "Impossible. Over the years, we have killed more than tens of thousands of Soul Eaters. The Sword Sect does not have that many people, not to mention the Soul Devouring Rift blocking the way. How can they get through?"

Another player wondered, "Since this place is so unsafe, why don't you move away?"

"It's hard to leave your hometown. How can you just leave it like that? Even if you leave Liuzhou, where can you go?"

Niu Helu said this and sighed.

Nietzsche tried to fool the NPC: "Go to our Zhongzhou! Our Taiyin Sect has more than just Chang'an City! There are other cities! Like our newly built Wuwang City! We are very short of people!"

However, before Niu Helu could say anything, Chakota shook his head and said, "The Hubuyu clan has lived in Liuzhou for a thousand years and will not leave easily."

"well!"

Nietzsche sighed in disappointment.

The Jade Emperor took the opportunity to say, "How about we leave the bodies here with Hu Bu and his people today, and then try to find a way to cross the Soul Devouring Rift tomorrow?"

Wu Ke was a little impatient: "Can't we go today? This mission has to be delayed for another day!?"

The Jade Emperor spread his hands and said, "It's so dark outside, and there are Soul Eaters everywhere. How can you go? You can only wait until daybreak!"

Although Wu Ke knew that what the Jade Emperor said was right, he just rolled his eyes and said, "I'm so annoyed! This game is always one-on-one with the outside world, and the pace is so slow that it's not fun to play at all!"

This time, it was the Jade Emperor's turn to complain: "That's not what you said when you and I went to the base together!"

In the team channel, other people also talked about the problem of the game: "This game is really slow! I wanted to get A several times, but after playing this game, other games are so fake and tasteless! There is nothing I can do! I can only come back to play "Ten Continents"!"

"I can only bear it! His family is the only one in power!"
