Chapter 530 [(*^▽^*)]
Guo Xia looked at the stone in his hand, then checked its information. His eyes lit up, and a hint of joy flashed across his face. He quickly put it into his backpack. He subconsciously looked at the vengeful spirits, but the vengeful spirits surrounding him did not move, only showing less fear.
It seems the BOSS has approved of their faction switch, and they no longer need to worry about whether the BOSS will let them leave in the end.
After being surrounded by vengeful spirits, Guo Chengzheng did not make any further rash moves. He stood quietly in place, and he and Guo Xia listened to the sounds around them.
You can tell how intensely the players are killing the vengeful spirits just by listening to the sounds. Basically, they kill a vengeful spirit with one strike, and of course, if the weapon effect is a little worse, it takes two strikes to kill one.
Although the killing was generally fast, Rong Yuwen soon discovered that no matter how many vengeful spirits he killed, their numbers did not seem to decrease. He wondered if the number of these vengeful spirits would increase.
"Everyone, listen up! Kill as you go, these vengeful spirits should only move within a fixed area. Once we run past that area, we can escape!"
Rong Yuwen naturally didn't know if what he said was true, but in any case, getting out of here was obviously the most important thing. The others, having no other choice, would naturally carry out what Rong Yuwen said, and they killed their way forward.
Rong Yuwen naturally walked at the front. Every now and then he would call out to those behind him, roughly providing the others with a direction to move forward. After all, everyone's vision was mostly blocked by the vengeful spirits, and if they went in the wrong direction, it would be tantamount to courting death.
Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia walked at the back. When they saw each other, they exchanged a knowing glance and then approached the two slowest players.
One person is responsible for one...
The weapons these players are carrying are specifically designed to target ghosts, making it easy for them to kill these vengeful spirits. But unfortunately for them, this time they are facing assassination attempts by fellow players.
Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia both took out their backpacks and used highly lethal but minimally invasive melee weapons. With the others distracted by the vengeful spirits and able to calmly ambush and attack, the two of them perfectly carried out the assassination, eliminating two out of twenty players.
They quietly threw the bodies into the thick weeds behind them, which were taller than a person. Two bodies were thrown in, and they were not visible to the naked eye. Each of them earned a thousand points.
Lin Leyou, floating in the air, watched the two men's actions and nodded in satisfaction. Killing two was acceptable.
What surprised him most was the vengeful spirit... This vengeful spirit was fast in condensation and flight, but it had no other advantages. It was fragile and had extremely weak attack power; a single claw strike was like a cat's claw scratching at most.
Therefore, it seems that the only purpose of these vengeful spirits is to obstruct the view and buy time. Sometimes they can even be used as cover, so they are not entirely useless.
Rong Yuwen had protective gear on him, so the attacks from these vengeful spirits didn't bother him much; they just blocked his vision. There were just too many of them, which was very annoying.
Fortunately, after walking a distance, the vengeful spirits stopped following, and everyone was able to escape. By this time, Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia were already among the others. When they finally escaped, Lin Leyou even had the vengeful spirits attack them, scratching their exposed skin several times. They looked just as disheveled as the others, with their hair all messed up.
Rong Yuwen took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, then scratched his hair. After counting the number of people, he suddenly realized that two were missing. "How could two be missing?"
"These ghosts are so fragile and their attacks are so weak, they shouldn't be able to cause any harm."
By this time, everyone naturally noticed the casualties, and two of them were gone at once. "Could it be that some special ghosts among them ambushed and killed two of them while these fragile ghosts were blocking their view?"
Rong Yuwen took a deep breath. "Now we have three choices. First, we can continue to the Evil God Temple. Second, we can go back and look for those two people. Maybe we can find them, but we will likely be besieged by these endless ghosts again. As for the third, we can give up on the Evil God Temple and go straight back to the village."
To be honest, everyone was very tempted by the third option, but having come this far, it would be a waste to just go back.
Guo Chengzheng then stepped forward and said, "This location is about halfway to the Evil God Temple."
Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated again. Going back was out of the question, but what about going to find the two who had just gone missing? If they went back to look for them, they would be attacked again, and they didn't know if there would be more casualties this time.
But if we don't go back to look for people, what if someone or we encounter danger and are forced to leave the group on the way forward? Will we be abandoned as well?
Who knows if the two people being abandoned now won't become themselves in the future?
While everyone was hesitating, Rong Yuwen stepped forward and said, "Since everyone still wants to go back to look for people, I will go back and bring a few more people. We can get together and go back to look for them later."
"If you can't find it, leave quickly; if you do find it, all the better. In any case, go back and check, okay?"
Upon hearing this, everyone naturally had no objections. In the end, Rong Yuwen set an example by taking action himself, and with two others volunteering, he then selected several others with the fewest scratches on their bodies.
"The others are here to cover us. If the vengeful spirits gather, remember to attract some of them at the edge. This will reduce our obstacles and allow us to move faster."
"No problem, leave this to us."
Rong Yuwen led his people forward at a slow pace, which naturally included Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia. Although they looked disheveled, they had relatively few injuries.
With two people present, not all the vengeful spirits would gather around them. As they advanced, those who were not chosen were also slowly approaching, though at a much slower pace.
Sure enough, a large portion of these wronged souls came towards them; there was no way around it, there were just too many of them! Rong Yuwen's side only had six, but this side had twelve, twice as many!
With fewer vengeful spirits attacking them, Rong Yuwen and his group were able to search the area more quickly. In the end, they only found traces of trampled weeds and a little blood at the spot where Guo Chengzheng and his group had discarded the bodies, but they didn't find any corpses.
Rong Yuwen frowned slightly, took out an ordinary weapon, and chopped down all the weeds in the area in a few strokes, but he did not find the two missing players.
"Captain Rong, let's go back. They must have been killed. There's so much blood here. They were probably killed on the spot and their bodies were dragged away."
Rong Yuwen let out a long breath, "Let's go, let's leave. It's time to continue our journey, otherwise at our current speed, we might not reach the Evil God Temple until dark."
Not to mention making a round trip!
Rong Yuwen and his group returned relatively quickly. After reuniting, they quickly left the place of trouble. Once they reached a safe location, they explained the traces they had discovered as they moved forward.
"It's no one's fault but theirs. They're definitely beyond saving. The bloodstains mean they were killed. And the fact that the body can't be found is obvious. It must have been dragged away by a ghost."
Everyone agrees with this viewpoint, but it's unclear whether it's used to convince oneself or others.
Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia, who were in the middle of it, sneered inwardly. These people just didn't want to go back and search again, they didn't want to waste time, or rather, they didn't want to go back and face the ghost that was ambushing the players in the dark.
However, they wouldn't expose them, since they didn't want to stay any longer anyway. They quietly followed the main group forward. Lin Leyou had already left while they were lingering here searching for their missing companions.
He walked forward, and there was a river ahead. Of course, there was a bridge over the river, but the bridge and the riverbank were planted with large trees that looked like willows.
These are trees whose leaves I picked and ate before, and they tasted delicious. These trees look normal, but their leaves are black. If there is enough light, you can see something strange about them.
But now... ever since he used his talent to seal off the entire village and a large area around it along with the evil god's temple, the whole space has become gloomy.
In the dim light, all the trees looked as if they were covered by a dark filter, so the leaves... unless the player gets close enough to look, they won't be able to find any clues.
Lin Leyou smiled slightly and casually waved his hand, attracting all the ghostly and yin energies that were spreading around to this side. Soon, the bridge and a large area nearby were shrouded in gray-white mist, with visibility less than five meters. Under such circumstances, they would definitely be on guard.
And they will find that no matter which way they go, there will always be a bridge in front of them. And this is not some kind of maze; it is just a hallucinatory effect created by the fog and the big trees.
Unless they use props, and those props must be the kind that can clear their minds and restore their spirits, not the kind of props that help them escape from being trapped in a maze.
Once they crossed this bridge, they could reach the Evil God Temple in another hour. Lin Leyou didn't stay here. After setting up the trap on the bridge, he headed towards the Evil God Temple.
He could ignore it before, but now... just in case, he decided to seal off the entrance to the place where the stone coffin was placed.
If you accidentally go too far, you're doomed.
Xue Rui, as Zhong Wuyan, might be able to continue living and complete their mission, but that would be too shameful.
When Lin Leyou returned to the Evil God Temple, he went straight through the wall to the room where the Evil God statue was placed. Behind the statue, there was a door that could be opened.
