Empty Valley

It turns out that the holographic sandbox can also capture sound in real time.

As Sea Crocodile raised his hand, the hall instantly filled with the roars of ghouls and the sounds of slaughter. He slid his hands through the air, and the two figures hovering above the S-rank ghouls enlarged, their words becoming clearer.

Mia stood on an ice-blue feather arrow, while the white dove stepped on two black crows, a few meters apart, staring at each other quietly.

Mia's voice was cold: "Do you want to do the same as last time?"

A trace of heartache slowly passed through Bai Ge's face, and the infatuation in his eyes faded away.

He said calmly, "I'm not that stupid anymore. After all these years, I should have faced reality and given up my cowardice long ago."

Mia: "Just figure it out."

Bai Ge laughed, "Mia, we've known each other for many years, but we've never really competed."

Mia's indifference remained consistent: "I am the number one player in the Valley right now."

At this moment, the reptile below suddenly stood up, pounced, and smashed towards the two people with its two huge palms.

Mia and Bai Ge didn't blink, each unleashing their own abilities to slash away at the reptile's palm. Blood gushed out, like a red rain around them, though not a single drop touched them.

The reptile roared and fell, its huge body hitting the ground, stirring up a gust of wind.

Around them, several contestants who were carefully keeping their distance lost their balance for a moment, and the reptile's broken arm swept over.

A feather arrow penetrated into the left arm, and the wind element contained in it suddenly burst out, like the fastest invisible blade in the world, cutting off another part of the reptile's arm.

Its right arm wasn't much better either. A black crow swooped down, spewing out a purple lightning from its mouth, instantly charring the entire arm.

Those players thus escaped danger, but seeing that their top players had already taken action, they quickly scattered and retreated.

"You are worthy of being the people kissed by the Lord God." An Rou smiled and glanced at Yin Tian and Ao Yusi.

The two men visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and the looks they gave each other were filled with the tension of a battlefield.

Yin Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think Bai Ge can defeat Mia just by showing off? Don't dream, he has always been defeated by Mia!"

Ousi sneered: "If you, the Duozhu Sect, have the ability, don't look for a goddess, try looking for a son of God. If Mia wasn't a woman, Shangcheng would have been our Xiangyang territory long ago!"

Before he finished speaking, An Rou interrupted again, her voice rising with confusion.

"What's going on with the white dove?"

The holographic image of the white dove was falling, but Mia was still hovering in the air.

She opened her lips slightly, her eyes following the white dove's body, seeming full of surprise and confusion.

Ousi stood up suddenly and stared at the white dove.

The black crows under his feet disappeared, and there were no pigeons around him. His body gradually turned over as he fell... It was obvious that he was not actively adjusting his position to attack the ghoul.

Baige suddenly went offline!

Ousi hurriedly turned on the screen, but before he could send a message, he saw the white dove had already landed on a patch of messy grass. The S-rank ghoul not far away didn't even glance at him.

Obviously, Bai Ge was offline and the ghoul did not smell the soul fragrance from his body.

After a brief moment of shock, Yin Tian burst into laughter: "Admit defeat, your number one player in Xiangyang has admitted defeat!"

Ou Yusi gritted his teeth and sent a message to the logistics department: [Go see what's going on with Bai Ge?!]

At this critical moment, he didn't forget about the S-rank ghoul on the field and continued to send a message to Princess Ban Yue: [I'll give you an extra 2 million. Go and deal with the S-rank ghoul!]

Everyone was focused on the S-rank ghoul. If the princess really took action, the Xiangyang Guild's search for external aid would be exposed. However, Ousi had no time to consider the consequences. Unless Baige returned immediately, Princess Banyue was his only hope.

Princess Ban Yue still did not respond.

The logistics department needs to confirm the status of the pigeon offline, and the response is not that fast.

Ousi watched helplessly as Yintian sent a message to Mia, who even deliberately read it out loud: "Mia, seize the opportunity and kill that beast immediately!"

A minute later, Ousi's hopes were dashed.

The top-tier Super God shot only three arrows, rendering the S-rank ghoul immobile. Within seconds, the ghoul exploded into a pool of corpse fluid, but the gold coin reward was surprisingly small.

Of course, that's because it devours the souls of NPCs and has only eaten up the assets of some players in this arena.

Yin Tian didn't care about the reward; he cared about winning or losing the Celestial God Competition. Duozhu Guild already had the upper hand, and now Mia effortlessly strangled the S-rank ghoul, earning 1,000 points and completely securing their victory.

After being suppressed in the lower city by Xiangyang for a year, and being blamed openly and secretly by the Presbyterian Church and believers in the church for a year, he finally got his revenge and regained his face!

Yin Tian was so excited that tears streamed down his face, and he kept slamming his hands on the table: "Okay, okay, the Upper City is ours, and the Lord God can rule the Upper City again!"

"Really?"

A cold female voice with mockery floated into Yintian's ears.

An Rou tilted her head and looked at him, smiling: "Are you sure?"

Not only Yin Tian, ​​but even Ao Yusi was stunned for a moment.

It was the Sea Crocodile who was indifferent to the matter and was the most clear-headed. He was the first to see the black cracks appearing in the hall.

He retreated again and again, but there was only a wall behind him, so he climbed up the long golden table in a hurry and pointed at the ground with trembling fingers.

Four people appeared in the crack.

Meng Ziyu, Zhang Da, Zhang Er, and Zhang San. Two S-rank ghouls, and two A-rank ghouls.

Their unusual appearance instantly activated the mission details.

[Quest Name: In the Kingdom of Faith, the Devil Finally Ascends the Throne]

Mission Location: Konggu Floating City, Yongan Farm

[Ghoul Level: SSS (Highest)]

【Number of Ghouls: 9/9】

【Time limit: None】

[Difficulty Rating: SSS]

An Rou glanced at the running screen and couldn't help curling her lips: Who wants to ascend the throne? Besides, is she a devil?

The game system really can't talk.

However, Yin Tian and Ao Yusi's eyes were already wide open, and they were slow to react until Meng Ziyou brought Zhang Er and Zhang Da brought Zhang San, who blocked them separately.

Yin Tian was just a fake master, and it was difficult for him to deal with Zhang Da, not to mention that Zhang Da also brought an A-level ghoul with him. His legs were trembling, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Ao Yusi is better. He is a mid-level god who has gone through many tasks. If they really fight, Meng Ziyu may not be his opponent.

Ao Yu immediately took out his weapon and glared at An Rou: "What do you mean?!"

An Rou stared at his other hand and smiled, "I advise you not to rashly inform the people outside. They have other uses alive."

Ousi suddenly reacted.

That’s right, this special NPC can see other people’s screens, so he can call out everyone’s ID on the night he logs in!

In other words, everything he thought he had planned secretly had actually been exposed right under her nose!

The only solution now is to join forces with Yintian to besiege Yong'an!

However, before Ao Yusi could exchange glances with Yin Tian, ​​An Rou suddenly jumped into the crack in the ground. When she reappeared, she was already next to the city lord Hai E Si.

"You can control the volume, right? Amplify the sound of the stadium."

Crocodile was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he dared not disobey.

In the holographic sandbox, a faint cacophony of voices suddenly rose. Since everyone was discussing the same topic, it was easy to hear.

"What's going on? There's another S-rank ghoul?!"

"Wasn't he killed by the goddess? Is there something wrong with the mission details???"

"Impossible, I've never heard of such a bug... Could it be that there were originally two S-class monsters deployed in this competition?"

"What you said is even more impossible. How can two S-class players decide the winner..."

"If there really is an S-rank ghoul, where is it? I can't even recognize it!"

"Could it be the living dead? No crazy transformation?!"

"Over there, it's always a mess over there, it must be over there!"

…

The contestants' words once again impacted the two presidents' minds.

An Rou glanced at Hai Crocodile: "Look at the overall situation."

Crocodile was busy operating the holographic sand table in the hall, returning to its original state. Everyone quickly understood where the contestant was referring to when he said "over there."

On floating island No. 339, the residential area with the most densely populated houses.

Being on the island, you may not be able to discover much due to the limitations of distance and viewing angle, but the holographic sand table is a God's perspective, allowing you to see every corner clearly.

In the residential area, a zombie has a collar around its neck, which is connected to a rope, and the other end of the rope is in the hands of a player.

Judging from the player's clothing, it was obviously Xiangyang.

He moved through the buildings at such a speed that even a bird's-eye view couldn't make out his features. The undead dragging behind him were in a state of disarray, but wherever he passed, he would always encounter wounded players who had no ability to defend themselves.

Those injured players were all wearing white clothes and were all Duozhu players.

Everyone can understand what Xiangyang is doing - he is using Xiangyang's soul to raise ghouls.

It was obvious that this living dead being dragged around like a dog was a newly born S-class ghoul.

After a short while, the discussions among the contestants began to turn in another direction.

"There is still hope. We Xiangyang still have hope of winning!"

"Yes, as long as we kill that S-rank, the score won't be much different!"

"But Baige is offline! Duozhu still has Mia, what can we use to compete with her?"

…

Confusion, shock, ecstasy, loss, Ou Yusi's face was full of colors.

There is still hope, but the hope is extremely slim.

He remembered that Princess Banyue had clearly stated that Xiangyang could pay her to kill people, but not ghosts.

In other words, the only player on the field who had both the ability and willingness to quickly dispatch an S-rank ghoul was Mia from the Duozhu Guild. Even if a god-level player like Xiangyang risked his life, he wouldn't be able to defeat her.

On the other side, the cunning Yin Tian finally understood the current situation, secretly opened the light screen, and uttered two words: [Action!]

Behind the castle, multiple players hanging on the "cliff" moved at the same time and climbed up.

An Rou smiled wryly and glanced at Yin Tian. The coldness in her eyes made the other person's heart tremble.

An Rou looked back at Ao Yusi and said, "I just want to ask, does Xiang Yang still want to win the God Competition?"

Ou Yusi only felt that she suddenly jumped to his own camp, but he couldn't figure out the reason. As he was hesitating, a message popped up on the light screen.

【Qian Er: I will complete the transaction.】

This is the temporary game ID used by Princess Banyue when she "joined" the Xiangyang Guild.

Although it is only six words, it is the promise of the second place on the Destiny List.

Ousi was ecstatic and quickly switched to the "God Killer" channel.

He quickly clicked on the light screen and, imitating Yin Tian's previous actions, read out the order: "Everyone, block the castle. Anyone who trespasses - kill!"

Outside the castle, the Xiangyang Army, already well prepared, quickly dispersed. The so-called blockade, of course, wasn't limited to the ground. Many players scaled the castle rooftops and immediately spotted the numerous players climbing up.

The two sides exchanged glances, each sensing the uniqueness of this mission. Xiangyang, in particular, finally understood the meaning behind the Guild Master naming the mission "God Slayer."

Whether it is new or old grudges, there is no need to start fighting immediately after a disagreement.

Yin Tian took a step back, his back resting against the cold marble wall.

Zhang Da then took a step forward, his feet dissolving into white smoke. The message was clear: running was impossible.

The situation in the hall couldn't be clearer.

The partner Yin Tian originally thought of as his partner had already become his rival's partner. But Ao Yusi still pretended to know nothing.

We have already prepared people to ambush the people he has ambushed. No one would believe that the bastard didn’t discuss cooperation with An Rou in advance!

According to Yintian's judgment, his life is not in Anrou's hands, but in Aoyusi. As long as he can hold Aoyusi in his hands, the other party will not dare to do anything to him.

Yin Tian made up his mind and glared at Ao Yusi: "You violated the rules of the Tianshen Competition and hired foreign players without permission. If this gets out to the public, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

If disputes between guilds escalate into conflicts between countries, no one can bear the consequences.

Oyster's ecstasy was diluted.

Seeing this, An Rou laughed and said, "Who said Xiangyang hired foreign players? Aren't those players from the Xiangyang Guild? Don't you have eyes?"

Yin Tian sneered: "Except Bai Ge, who else under Ao Yusi can easily deal with an S-level ghoul? Do you think I'm blind?!"

"Who said the ghoul was manipulated? It clearly did it of its own accord. If you don't believe me, take another look."

Yin Tian was stunned and looked at the sand table intently.

Sure enough, the rope around the zombie's neck broke, but it was still chasing Qian Er in front of it, and it was still devouring the souls of the injured players wherever it passed.

No, it was much more active than its passive soul-devouring ability. It burst out with an extremely high speed, and while chasing Qian Er, it even had time to go around and devour one or two low-level players.

Yin Tian looked at An Rou in disbelief, his heart trembling violently.

An Rou looked at him with dilated pupils, which were dark and lifeless and almost occupied half of her eye sockets, looking extremely strange.

He understood.

"It's you, you're the one controlling the ghouls! You're also Oyushi's foreign aid!"

Yin Tian was trembling with anger and fear. "You betrayed our cooperation and broke the treaty. The Lord God will judge those who break their promise!"

An Rou said innocently: "I am a messenger of God, whispering in the Lord God's ear every day. Do you think the Lord God will judge me or you?

"As for our deal—haha, Ousi, I believe that after winning the God Competition, you can also let me stay in the Valley, right?"

Last night's news described that the goddess Ri'an could control ghouls. Ousi had not witnessed it with his own eyes, so he was skeptical.

Now, this horrifying fact was right before his eyes. When he came into contact with those strange eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.

Ousi nodded subconsciously: "Yes, you and the farm can stay..."

"Oyushi!" Yin Tian cursed in extreme fear, "Just wait for the two countries to go to war. You will become a war criminal, the sinner who caused the war!"

In fact, Yintian's fear was just instinct. At this moment, he still believed that Anrou and Ao Yusi's goal was to win the competition among the gods.

Fear made him lose his ability to think, and he was unable to think about why they let Mia strangle the reptile if this was the goal.

Ao Yusi's silence calmed Yin Tian down a little. Out of concern for his own safety, he had to suppress his anger.

"I can accept any outcome of the God Contest. That's what you all want, right? Okay, if Mia kills the second S-rank ghoul and Duozhu wins the contest, you should accept it anyway, right?!"

He said as he turned on the light screen to send a message to Mia.

"Zhang Da, kill him."

An Rou's cold words made him stiffen.

Yin Tian suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Ou Yusi also suspected that he had heard it wrong, and his eyes widened: "Kill Yin Tian? President Duozhu? No, have you considered the consequences?!"

An Rou glanced over coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Ao Yusi opened his mouth wide, finally remembering that it was not only Yin Tian who was surrounded by ghouls, but also himself.

"So you're not here to compete, you're here to kill me...Kill me?!"

Yin Tian was enveloped in fear from the inside out. With his last bit of resistance, he activated his weapon skills.

The weapon had already been taken out - a wooden scepter with a huge diamond inlaid on the top. There were light spots in the diamond representing the power of the four elements of water, fire, wind and thunder.

Very suitable for the identity of a church elder.

Four points of light, four elements, swirling within the diamond.

However, before they could release the diamonds, a thick white smoke enveloped his palm. Yin Tian screamed in agony.

His right wrist was torn off by Zhang Da's bite.

The white smoke condensed into a huge face, half of which was stained with blood, and violent anger was beating in the eyes, which was extremely terrifying.

He did not touch Yin Tian's soul.

Because it's not the right time yet.

An Rou was at ease and looked at Yin Tian with a smile.

"God's Scepter? Tsk tsk, where's the purple weapon? You should have other purple weapons in your pocket, right? No? You should have a blue weapon, right? No? Or you don't dare to take it out?

"Look at you, howling like a ghost. It's just a game qualification, but you're acting like you're really going to die. I don't understand you.

"Well, I'll give you a chance to find help. Aren't you going to notify Mia? Go ahead and notify her.

"Whether you let her win the game or rush over to save you depends on how selfless and devout you are."

The severe pain made Yin Tian unable to help but take out the life potion, but as soon as the white smoke came up, the potion disappeared in his hand.

An Rou gestured to the sandbox: "Did you hear that? The ghoul has been upgraded to SS. Whoever captures it will win the game. Isn't that exciting?"

As soon as he heard An Rou's voice, Yin Tian regretted it so much.

I should not have left her in the empty valley.

I should not have given her the title of Good Morning Goddess.

If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have kept it secret from the Elders Council. I should have let the Elders Council mediate and unite the army to wipe out Yong'an Farm together.

If I had known earlier...

The fear of death brings all regrets together, but it doesn't last for a few seconds.

You really will die. It's not just about the game qualification, nor is it just about the so-called divine revelation. If you commit a serious mistake, even if you leave the game intact, you will be executed by the Elders...

The cold sweat on Yin Tian's face flowed as much and as fast as the blood from his broken wrist.

He ultimately succumbed to sensory death, even though everything before him was just virtual data.

Yin Tian gritted his teeth and sent a message to Mia: [Floating Castle, save me!]

On the sand table, Mia, who was flying in the air chasing the SS Ghoul, stopped. After a brief pause, she used the wind element card to conjure up an ice-blue arrow and shot it into the sky.

The arrow left the string with a clang sound.

The arrow was cut off by a rapidly spinning weapon, the elemental power exploded, and the turbulent airflow swept Mia down.

She landed on the ground, quickly steadied herself, and looked up to see contestant Xiangyang, wrapped in a dark blue suit.

Qian Er narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Want to leave? Have you asked me?"

"Who are you?" Mia's expression became more and more serious.

"Me?" Qian Er tilted his head, his smile roguish. "A nobody from the Xiangyang Guild? An ordinary person who wants to drag the goddess of heaven into the mud?"

His arrogant words reached the ears of everyone in the hall.

Yin Tian was so angry that he screamed, "Kill him, kill him!"

Qian Er seemed to have heard his words, pressed his shoulders and gently wiped them down.

A circle of light slid down across his body. The hem of his dark blue clothes extended along with the circle of light, forming countless ribbons, each with a half-moon-shaped blade attached to its end.

The strips of cloth came alive like tentacles, rushing towards Mia, wanting to tear her into pieces.

Mia immediately shot a fire arrow, but before the arrow hit the target, Qian Er's voice came from behind.

"Too slow, too slow."

In front of Mia, the dazzling streamers and blades vanished, and she instinctively clutched her throat, hot blood gushing from between her fingers.

There was more than one wound.

The trachea, carotid artery, cervical vertebra... every vital part had a deep and fatal knife wound.

The opponent appeared frivolous, but was extremely cautious in combat. Before Mia took out the life potion, he wrapped a ribbon around the back of her hand.

It looks like an ordinary piece of cloth, but it contains unparalleled power, and even the power of a super god cannot break free.

Mia's health was rapidly decreasing.

Yin Tian was completely dumbfounded.

He was number three on the Destiny List, his Duozhu Goddess, his number one player in Konggu, and he was defeated in one move?

How is that possible!

Yin Tian suddenly realized. The skirt is killing, Princess Banyue!

"She is the Half Moon Princess. The foreign aid you secretly found is the Half Moon Princess!" He yelled at Ao Yusi.

The second on the list is Princess Half Moon, a legend among Ye Ke players, a lawless existence second only to Chu Mo... No wonder she has the courage to stop Mia, no wonder she can defeat Mia!

Mia was defeated in one move, not just defeated, but on the verge of death!

From the God's perspective in the hall, Yintian couldn't see clearly when and how Banyue ran behind Mia.

Princess Half Moon's lethality is terrifying!

An Rou caught Ao Yusi's momentary hesitation and spoke before him, saying with a smile, "What's this Half Moon Princess? I happen to know this contestant, Qian Er, a member of the Xiangyang Guild. Isn't that right, Ao Yusi?"

Ao Yusi came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, he is Qian Er, from Xiangyang!"

At this point, I can only deny it till death and not let Yin Tian get any solid evidence or handle.

“You, you…”

"Yintian, why are you so anxious? Mia is number three on the Destiny Ranking. With her Destiny value, it shouldn't be difficult for her to be resurrected eight or ten times. Dying once won't cause her to lose a level." An Rou raised her chin towards the sandbox. "Look, isn't she resurrected and online right now?"

A glimmer of hope rekindled in Yin Tian's heart, but he looked over hastily, and hope turned into despair.

Ye Ke is a nickname for "no bottom line", and Princess Ban Yue is the representative of Ye Ke, who has no concept of fair duel at all.

From the time Mia died and logged off to the time she resurrected, the cloth wrapped around her arms not only did not loosen, but continued to stretch like a snake, completely entangling Mia's limbs and waist.

As soon as Mia opened her eyes, blood immediately spurted out of the wound on her neck that had not yet healed.

After being resurrected immediately, her health was already low, and she died for the second time in less than ten seconds.

Then the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...

Death came too quickly, and the same scene was repeated over and over again. After watching it, Yin Tian had become numb and his heart was dead.

At this time, the other players on the field finally noticed the situation here. As soon as the discussion started, Mia lost her voice again.

An Rou exclaimed, "She's already died 20 times. Is Mia's destiny value so high?"

If you die once, your destiny points will be cut in half. If you die twenty times without losing your qualifications, your destiny points must be over 100 million.

It really surprised An Rou.

Yin Tian ignored An Rou's words and focused on the discussions of the other players in the sandbox. As long as the players from other Zhu countries united, Mia would have a chance of escaping, and he would still have a chance of survival!

However, a pure white figure rising from somewhere instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"White Dove is online!"

"He's going for the SS-rank ghoul!"

"Hurry and find the goddess, where is she?!"

"It's too late... The ghoul was killed instantly by the white pigeon!"

…

The castle hall and the competition venue fell into silence at the same time.

Ao Yusi never thought that Bai Ge would suddenly go offline, nor did he think that he would suddenly come online at the critical moment. Even when Princess Half Moon was killing Mia, he completely forgot about Bai Ge's existence.

He recovered from his shock, his face filled with ecstasy, and shouted to the NPC behind him, "Still haven't you remembered? The Xiangyang Guild strangled an SS-rank ghoul!"

Yintian was awakened by Ao Yusi's words.

He glanced at Mia's direction. Mia had disappeared from that location. Only Qian Er was standing there, with dark blue strips of cloth hovering at his side and a crescent-shaped blade dripping with blood.

As if noticing the gazes of the "Gods", Qian Er raised his head and smiled slightly.
