Ghost Island

"Attention, entire island, intruder spotted."

"Attention, entire island, intruder spotted."

"Attention, entire island, intruder spotted."

…

Countless broadcast voices merged into a huge sound wave, resounding through the sky.

In an instant, all the players and NPCs on the island stopped what they were doing.

In fact, there was no need to broadcast the news, as they had discovered the intruder because of his unparalleled size, and no tall buildings could hide him.

After a brief pause, everyone started moving.

According to the regulations of the two major guilds on Ghost Island, anyone who contributes to the capture of invaders can receive a reward.

On each island, dense crowds of people poured into the streets.

But they soon stopped - people from all over the place recognized the giant holding the sword in the air.

"Sventovit, that's Sventovit of the Gal Guild!"

Number nine on the Destiny List, who dares to stop me?

Not to mention arrest.

They watched helplessly as the giant went straight from the outer ring of the archipelago to the inner ring. Every time the giant foot stepped down, countless people couldn't help but raise their arms and dodge in panic.

Fortunately, the giant that Sventovit transformed into was like a shadow and did not cause any damage to any person or building.

But he was so huge that no one noticed that at his waist height, there was a dark shadow leaping between the tall buildings.

"This way!" Zhencha used the Wanhua Stick to point the direction.

At the edge of an island, a double-edged knife was thrown towards an island one kilometer away, and a black shadow disappeared in a flash.

-

In front of the farm, a bright blue light was approaching rapidly.

It was a shield of light covering an island.

Meng Ziyu lay on the edge of the farm, his eyes widening. "Big brother, where are you going? You're about to crash into me! You're about to crash into me!"

The entire farm sank suddenly, heading straight to the bottom of the light shield.

"...I'll let you fly high, big brother!!!"

It's too late.

Amidst Meng Ziyou's screams, the farm shovel sank into the sea. Its collar tightened, and Zhang Da pulled it back by the collar.

A burst of crackling and flashing lightning broke out in front.

The lightning flashed like a long dragon, piercing straight from the edge of the farm and blasting through the wall.

Zhang Da did not stop, continuing to pull Meng Ziyu to dodge, cross the high wall, and chase the lightning all the way inside in a parallel route.

Just when Meng Ziyu thought the lightning was about to split the farm in two, it suddenly stopped after spreading to the pond.

The water in the pool caused the lightning to suddenly disperse, and it suddenly lit up and then suddenly went out.

But the straight grooves drawn by the lightning along the way still had a faint blue light and the crackling sound continued.

The huge farm is like a cake, cut from the edge to the center.

Zhang Da also stopped and let Meng Ziyu land.

Only then did Meng Ziyou realize that the ground temperature beneath his feet was rapidly rising. The smell of burning flesh permeated the surface along with the temperature of the soil.

Nearby, the neon lights on Second Street and First Alley flashed violently, and the shaking of tables and chairs in the houses woke up a group of sleeping residents.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"Has the dawn landed yet?"

…

All the lights went out at the same time, and the night outside the window was darker than ever, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Fortunately, the darkness only lasted for a brief moment, and lights of various colors from near and far lit up at the same time and stopped flickering.

With the help of the light, Meng Ziyu finally saw the scene in front of him clearly.

In the low sky, two figures fell separately.

It recognized them: one was Anrou and the other was Paopao. The moment they touched the ground, they were swallowed up by the pitch-black crack in the ground.

On the other side, there was also something spinning and falling. It looked like a strange ship.

The boat scraped past the edge of the Suancai Building and landed. A figure jumped out from it, smashed through the window, and disappeared into the building. Just a second later, the boat scraped past the building and rushed into the pond, suddenly exploding.

The bright light from the explosion illuminated the center of the pond again.

There was a dark pillar there, and on top of it, there was a person.

Sudden wealth is attacking that person.

Bone blades and bone knives were as fast as lightning, extending from all directions. The remaining light and shadows wove into a deadly cage, wrapping the man inside.

No, that's not a person.

It suffered countless heavy blows in an instant, but it still stubbornly resisted the attack of the sudden wealth.

Meng Ziyu asked himself, even if he became the parasite of the Chosen One, he would not be able to last even a second under the unreserved attack of the Rich.

The one in the cage is of its own kind, and its level and strength are far superior to its kind!

With his terrifying self-healing ability, he is most likely an SSS-level ghoul like Bao Fu!

Meng Ziyu suddenly noticed the faint voices coming from the street.

“Don’t come out!”

The boy's sharp scream was so penetrating that it made all the residents retreat back into their houses.

Meng Ziyu didn't know why he did this, it was a subconscious reaction.

A hand suddenly pressed down on its head and rubbed it.

"well done."

It was An Rou's annoying voice.

But for some reason, Meng Ziyu's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

It looked up at her.

His face was covered in blood, and the exposed skin was very pale, the most miserable he had ever seen. But his eyes were still calm, as usual.

"Go check on my dad for me? Tell him to wait in the room, don't worry."

"I can't run fast, why do you ask me to run errands..."

Meng Ziyu muttered and ran towards the villa with his short legs.

An Rou squatted down and felt the temperature of the ground, then carefully smelled the smell in the air.

The ground was warm, not scalding, so no one was injured. The burning smell was probably caused by the high voltage electricity in the seawater.

When she was suddenly absorbed into the void, she clearly noticed that the soul light spots on the void tentacles were not as bright as before.

Baobao was seriously injured.

However, An Rou did not expect that the sudden wealth and injury would give her and the entire farm a chance to breathe.

Under the guidance of Kairi and Zhencha, Giant Witt has crossed most of the archipelago and is not far from Black Market Island No. 7.

But Zhencha suddenly stopped, moved half a circle with the Wanhua Stick in his hand, and failed to catch the stench of the corpse.

They were standing on the edge of a tall building on the first-level island, and the narrow streets below were crowded with people.

In the crowded crowd, a person was spinning around with his index finger raised.

"Make way, make way, make way for me."

Stubble, red lips, thick powder, colorful eyeshadow, red nails, purple tights and black leather shorts...

Don't use too many identifying features.

——Phili Guild, ranked 11th on the Destiny List, Super Divine Orchid Cannon.

People hurriedly retreated, leaving a circle of empty space on the crowded street.

The Orchid Cannon turned one last circle with satisfaction, looked up at the giant Witt in the sky, and quickly pulled out its gun.

His gun is also very distinctive, inlaid with diamonds from the muzzle to the handle, dazzling the eyes.

Lanhua Pao's eyes were obsessed: "So big and strong, I like it very much."

Pull the trigger.

The diamond pistol suddenly magnified a hundred times, and with a bang, a diamond bullet jumped out from the black muzzle and floated in the air.

The orchid cannon flipped over and rode on the diamond bullet.

"Darling, I'm coming——"

The bullet then unleashed its due impact, carrying him and his charming and flamboyant laughter, rushing towards the night at high speed.

A bright meteor appeared in the night sky and stopped suddenly in front of Witt, hovering just below his eyebrows.

The dazzling diamond transformed into a crystal clear orchid, and a heavily made-up man knelt in the center of the orchid.

He clasped his hands together, rested his chin lightly on them, and looked up into Witt's eyes.

Like a pious girl looking up to a majestic god.

But the tone in which Lanhua Pao spoke was tantamount to blasphemy.

"Dear, are you here to see me? Are you feeling guilty about stealing my mission a few days ago?"

Witt watched him silently.

When he found out that Ali had failed the exam, he happened to have killed an SS-rank ghoul near the Spirit Realm, and the Orchid Cannon who was lying in ambush at the scene suddenly jumped out and accused him of stealing his mission.

At that time, Witt had no time to explain and hurried to Lengbing City.

Unexpectedly, the Orchid Cannon also returned to Ghost Island.

Lanhua Pao raised his chin and said, "You have to apologize sincerely enough, otherwise I won't forgive you, Darling."

Before he finished speaking, his movements had changed, and the diamond pistol was pointed at Witt's eyebrows.

The sound of breaking air came from behind, and the Orchid Cannon fired a shot without looking back, knocking the double-edged sword away.

"Ang ang ang." He wiggled his index finger, his voice high and low. "Short dwarfs aren't my thing, huh? Don't make yourself look bad. I like Vivi's type."

The chest exploded immediately after it was opened.

"Say that again, damn?!"

"I say," Lanhua Pao leaned over and smiled shyly, "even you, Long Yan, can't trespass into Ghost Island without permission."

"I'm just going to break in!"

Kaiche raised the double-edged knife, but was pulled back by Zhencha beside him.

A large number of black shadows appeared silently on the surrounding rooftops, with countless guns aimed at them.

Opening his chest and grinding his teeth: "I am so scared of him?!"

Zhencha didn't let go, his nervous expression showing a hint of frustration: "The target has disappeared."

Perhaps it was because the distance was too far, or perhaps the ghoul had finally discovered and removed the corpse fluid, and the Mangeki no longer could detect the scent.

-

"Boss, it's done." Paopao pointed to the black hill behind him.

Baofu arrived in time and saved his dying life. After drinking the life potion, the palpitations still lingered, and he spoke with a slight wheeze.

The hill was made of black rubber. When An Rou gave it to him, it was only the size of a palm. It cost him 8 million gold to rebuild it to this size.

When fully opened, it is large enough to cover the entire farm.

It is not used to cover the farm, but to be placed under Baofu to isolate the high voltage electricity in the sea water.

An Rou looked at the center of the pond. The trader was still trapped in the cage woven from bone blades.

It was unable to break through the siege of sudden wealth and had suffered five minutes of slow slicing.

It's not enough.

"Baobao." An Rou called softly.

In the nocturnal state, the farm is a territory of sudden wealth, and it can do many things at once.

An Rou stepped into the crack that appeared on the ground, and the crack also swallowed up the rubber hill.

After entering the void, An Rou stood on the tentacles, and the rubber hill was swallowed up bit by bit by the tentacles.

It will unfold little by little, spreading across the entire farm.

"Take me in, I want to see you." An Rou said to the dim soul light.

After a while, the void tentacles surrounded her and carried her into the depths of the void.

The soul of sudden wealth was already waiting, and An Rou's eyes darkened.

After devouring Mad Blade, its soul had materialized into a three-dimensional humanoid form. An Rou guessed that if it devoured a few more high-level players, it would evolve into a lifelike, clear-cut human.

But this time, what appeared before her was just a silhouette, just like the first time they met, a white silhouette reflected on the wall.

Is it the injury that dims the light of the soul of sudden wealth, causing it to regress?

An Rou couldn't be sure if this was the reason, because Bao Fu was unable to respond to complicated questions.

But it keenly sensed that its owner was in a bad mood.

The tentacles around it contracted and expanded at the same time, and a lot of things gushed out little by little.

Rocks, building debris, large amounts of gold coins and props, and charred corpses.

An Rou was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily, "You're already injured, and you still want to swallow these things?"

"Master, I like it." The soul light spots said softly.

An Rou was silent, and couldn't help but start to suspect that Bao Fu was so badly injured because he swallowed too much seawater carrying high voltage electricity.

An Rou returned to the ground.

Zhang Dahe Paopao waited there.

Ever since An Rou escaped from danger, Zhang Da's face became stiff and dull again. On the other hand, Paopao was so anxious that he couldn't even stand.

An Rou knew what he was panicking about, so she motioned him to be patient and asked, "How long has it been?"

Paopao glanced at the screen: "About ten minutes."

This is the time since the sudden wealth landing.

"Is there any movement on the forum?"

Paopao shook his head: "No... Boss, don't you think it's strange? Thousands of people died on the island. They all know that there's a ghoul outbreak on the island, so how come there's no news on the forum?"

Paopao felt strange, which was normal because he didn't know Jie Xin existed.

The Ghost King not only has the ability to block player communications, but also has the ability to manipulate posts in the forum - this is something An Rou has never figured out. Which game's monster BOSS can interfere with the player forum?

However, there are so many strange things about the Soul-Calling Song that we can only get used to it.

"Don't think about that for now," An Rou said. "The current situation is that Black Market Island No. 7 has been sinking for ten minutes, but people outside the island don't seem to have noticed. And it's not even ten o'clock yet, which is not the closing time for the Black Market Island, but no players are coming in to trade. Considering the recent popularity of Black Market Island No. 7, this is obviously abnormal. And—"

She paused, frowning, "The joint team is clearly chasing us, very closely, but they haven't appeared yet, and Baobao can't smell them either."

"Boss, are you saying..." Paopao was puzzled. "This island seems to be isolated from the outside world? Is it because of the rich old man's night-walking ghost magic?"

"Judging from the signs, yes." An Rou suddenly looked to his side, "Zhang Da, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Da said sternly, "Sventovit's transformation into a giant might have distracted attention. When we arrived here, the island was surrounded by many ships, all of which had crashed."

"Crash? Did Baobao do it?"

"yes."

Zhang Da gave two very important clues.

An Rou frowned and pondered for a while, then asked Paopao, "Ghost Island has a rule that after dark, people can only leave but not enter. Even the Dragon Flame Guild is not allowed to do that?"

Paopao nodded. "That's right. Whoever comes will have to wait until daybreak. Big guilds like Dragon Flame Gal... maybe they can get in through diplomatic means."

But the joint team was chasing people. According to Zhang Da, they rushed into Ghost Island after the farm. In such a short time, it was unlikely that the so-called diplomatic means would be used.

This would explain why the joint team failed to catch up.

Breaking through the light shield of Ghost Island by force would trigger the alarm. The giant transformed by Sventovit would immediately attract the attention of the entire island and distract attention from this black market island.

I guess the joint team has been intercepted by Onigashima.

As for the players surrounding Black Market Island… From the outbreak of the ghoul tide to the sinking of Black Market Island, the process was not long, at most only ten minutes. During that ten minutes, the thermal ship could not fly away from Oni Island, and it is estimated that the ships outside could not enter either.

Those players should be the ones who want to go to the island to trade.

Perhaps they posted on the forum after discovering the abnormality, but the posts were blocked by Jie Xin and failed to attract attention.

When the rich arrived, they naturally regarded them as enemies as the ones with destiny and killed them instantly.

No one could speak out, so the abnormal situation on Black Market Island naturally could not be spread.

……wrong!

There were people here ten minutes ago, but no one is here now? There are still ten minutes until the market closes!

"Baobao, is there anyone outside now?"

The suddenly rich face appeared and grunted.

Paopao couldn't understand the meaning of "Gulu" and asked, "Is it yes or no?"

"Yes, Baobao smelled it." An Rou said, "Paipao, use the Silver Wind Mace to take me up there to have a look."

Paopao activated the Silver Wind Mace skill and carried An Rou into the air.

He didn't dare fly too fast, after all, the tragic scene of the thermal ship crash was still vivid in his mind.

An Rou also raised an arm to touch the invisible barrier that prevented the players from escaping.

But I never touched it.

Instead, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his vision was filled with bright blue light.

It's a light shield!

The Black Market Island has sunk, but the light shield is still there!

All she could see was a sea of ​​blue, and she couldn't discern the spherical arc of the light shield. But An Rou heard a sound.

The whirring sound of the thermal boat's engine and human voices.

"...What's going on? It's not even ten o'clock yet, why can't I get in?"

"Isn't it because there are too many people inside that they are limiting the number of visitors?"

"What a joke! There's no such thing as that... Damn, no one's replying to this post, and I'm still trying to sell some gear to get back on track!"

"I guess they've all gone to see Sventovite. I heard Lanhua Pao and his men have surrounded them, and everyone wants to see them fight. Ninth place versus eleventh place, tsk tsk... Stop it, come early tomorrow, and we'll go watch too..."

The conversation was behind.

Fortunately, An Rouhe and Paopao only showed their heads and were not discovered.

The two retreated into the light shield, and the sound disappeared. It seemed that the light shield not only prevented prying eyes, but also blocked out sound.

An Rou immediately felt the desire to get rich quickly.

Below, farm lights illuminate a vast expanse of bright white.

At the edge of the farm, the figure of the wealthy man slowly emerged, with bone knives standing at the four corners, supporting his huge body to rise little by little.

Using the ghost technique of "False Abduction", its back penetrated the farm building unhindered.

The deformed bone knives of the limbs were much longer than the bone blades. When fully stretched out, the length far exceeded a hundred meters.

However, the light shield was hemispherical, like a bowl inverted on the ground. The higher it rose, the narrower its cross-section became. An Rou was worried that Bao Fu's broad back would be exposed to the light shield, so she didn't let it stand completely straight.

Among the four bone knives below, one is missing.

It appeared on Bao Fu's back and slashed towards the sky as fast as lightning.

The broken ships fell down and exploded into fireballs on the light shield.

Along with it, there was also a spray of blood.

However, not a single player could utter a scream, as they all died before the ship sank.

There is more than one thermal ship staying outside the light shield, but not many.

Although the souls of these low- and mid-level players were weak, they could at least replenish Bao Fu's energy. However, there were no scars on Bao Fu's back; it seemed the injuries from the high voltage had healed on their own.

It's a good thing.

An Rou asked Paopao to fly upwards, then glanced outside the light shield. It was empty, with no sign of the thermal ship.

The bright blue light passed through her and Paopao's chests, and both of them were safe and sound.

An Rou was certain that it was Jie Xin's work.

This light shield looks the same as the light shields in other places on Ghost Island, but there are several huge differences.

First, she and Paopao can enter and exit freely, but other players cannot.

Secondly, the anti-peeping function of the single lens has been turned into a two-way anti-peeping function. People outside can only see the blue light cover, and the night sky seen by people inside is also fake.

Otherwise, An Rou would have noticed the several thermal boats floating overhead.

An Rou sneered silently.

The Ghost King has gone to such great lengths to make this trip to Ghost Island seem like it has a second half, just as she had guessed.

The masters of the second half were undoubtedly the United team.

"Baobao, chop off its hands and feet."

As the fortune sank, the bone knife suddenly retracted. It was virtual when it passed through the farm buildings, but when it reached the center of the pond, it became real.

The toughness and attack power of its bone knife have always been stronger than the bone blade formed by deformed ribs.

On the black cylinder, the trader was covered in blood and suddenly stopped moving.

All four limbs separated from the body at the shoulders and thighs and fell into the pond.

[Thump, thump…]

A disgusting voice sounded in its mind.

The severe headache made the trader grit his teeth, and blood flowed out from between his teeth.

“Thump, thump…”

The sound was transferred to the outside world and entered my ears, but the headache did not go away.

An Rou stood on Bai Fu's broad forehead, with a fair neck that was several times thicker than the black cylinder.

The trader understood at a glance that this was the same kind of person that had been attacking it endlessly.

For some reason, they are lowly fellows who are willing to be driven by humans.

The anger and pain made it speechless, and it could only stare at An Rou with its bloodshot eyes.

An Rou ignored it and ignored it.

A human pig...oh, just a ghost pig.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at the cylinder carefully.

The cylinder was thick, its diameter... enough to hold three or four ghost pigs. It was dark, and apart from the bloodstains, it looked like a black-painted metal pillar.

But An Rou had reason to suspect that the light shield covering the island was most likely due to the existence of this pillar.

"Run, wipe the blood off."

Paopao is also beside Anrou.

The trader had a strong self-healing ability. Clumps of physiological fibers had already emerged from his severed hands and feet, which looked very creepy.

With Brother Rich here, I can run without any fear and jump onto the cylinder.

He scattered a handful of gold coins on the cylinder, but the gold coins did not disappear and the blood stains could not be cleaned away.

"Boss, this is not a living prop."

"Of course not." An Rou said, "That's why I let you wipe it."

"Oh." Paopao kicked the trader, causing it to roll over. "Get out of the way."

He looked at his inventory, then felt around, unable to find anything to wipe the blood. His gaze fell on the trader's back, and an idea struck him.

Got it.

He sprinkled a handful of gold coins over the trader, reshaped and cleaned his tattered, blood-soaked clothes, then lifted him by the back of his collar and dragged him back and forth on the column several times.

Clean and tidy.

Several dim numbers appeared on the cylinder: 007.

What is the number of Black Market Island No. 7?

An Rou was just thinking about it when she heard Paopao say, "Boss, it's already like this, why not just kill it?"

An Rou scolded with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, what if you scare people? We still have to cooperate next time."
