Chapter 534 [(*^▽^*)]
Guo Xia was still somewhat hesitant, "How could these villagers have such powerful methods to kill us?"
Other players also felt that the villagers were untrustworthy, but they didn't think that these ordinary villager NPCs could kill them. Besides, they themselves were the targets of the BOSS's hunt, so it was impossible for them to collude with the BOSS.
Rong Yuwen nodded, "That makes sense, but my advice is still to be cautious in everything."
Everyone nodded in understanding. After all, this was an A-level difficulty dungeon. These villagers didn't seem to have much combat power, but they were cruel by nature. They had been maintaining a human sacrifice once every ten years for so long, and their behavior patterns couldn't be judged by common sense.
Rong Yuwen said, "Let's go, let's go back quickly."
When they reached the bridge that had previously trapped them, they saw the fog again, but this time the fog was much thicker than before, with visibility of only about twenty meters.
Although visibility was relatively high, everyone still habitually took out their protective gear and instinctively grabbed the hem of the clothes or arms of the people next to them as they walked forward.
Rong Yuwen was still walking in front. They slowly crossed the bridge and soon walked away. When they emerged from the mist, they were a little surprised. They had crossed it just like that?
"Is there some kind of conspiracy? Is the BOSS watching us from the shadows?"
"We passed through the fog so easily this time, I feel like something's wrong..."
"Don't overthink it. Even if there's a problem, the BOSS will come out on its own when the time comes. Instead of worrying here, we should hurry on our way. It's already dark, and the night is more dangerous than the day."
This explanation is quite reasonable. Everyone wants to get back to the village and the safe house as soon as possible. The previous demolition of the evil god temple seemed to be about finding the stone coffin and using props, but they also put in the effort.
They still have to walk the mountain road again, and even if... even if they take medicine, they will still get tired.
The eighteen players once again used speed potions to travel, and Lin Leyou and Xue Rui watched from afar, both feeling sorry for the players this time.
It's one thing to encounter myself and Xue Rui, but Qin Xingyu is also in this instance. Even if I and Xue Rui fail, as long as Qin Xingyu can kill all these people, it will still count as a victory.
Xue Rui, "You made your move on the section of road where the vengeful spirits were generated?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's right, it will be more convenient over there. These people won't crowd together to deal with the vengeful spirits. This misty area is also good, but these players are all like this, grabbing each other and following each other. How can we fight like this? Your possession can't be used, but my soul extraction can be used. However, their items can detect my approach."
"But there's no such concern with vengeful spirits, since they are ghosts themselves and can interfere with their detection tools."
Xue Rui nodded, "That's true. Let's go, they've already gone far away."
Lin Leyou laughed and floated forward, "You saw their speed, right? What do you think?"
Xue Rui hesitated for a moment before saying, "Their physique and physical fitness are definitely not at the maximum value of 100 points."
Lin Leyou said, "That's right. So when they encounter us who have also used strength or speed potions, they will still be a step behind. The so-called huge gap is formed by the accumulation of many small things."
Xue Rui looked at Rong Yuwen and the others, then nodded, "Indeed..."
Lin Leyou said, "If you have the chance in the future, would you like to practice physical skills with me? After all, I am a student of Teacher Qin."
Xue Rui's eyes lit up. "Okay! But I'll have to trouble you with this."
Lin Leyou: "What's the trouble?"
Xue Rui was about to say something when he seemed to notice something amiss, his gaze falling ahead. "Hmm?"
Lin Leyou also looked over and noticed that there were ten people coming from the direction of the village. Judging from their speed, they should be players.
Xue Rui: "Someone actually came to meet them."
Lin Leyou waved his hand, "It's alright, we can still kill a few when the time comes. As for Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia... leave them for now, there's no need to reveal their identities."
Xue Rui said, "Let's go see who these ten players are..."
Lin Leyou said, "They are still quite far apart. At the current speed, it will take two hours for them to meet up. There is no need to rush."
Xue Rui said, "The place where that vengeful spirit is located is probably near where they met. In that case, there might not be enough vengeful spirits."
Lin Leyou glanced at his underlings behind him. "These three underlings are fine. They're much more useful than those vengeful spirits."
Xue Rui was speechless. It was indeed much more useful, but it depended on who it was compared to. It was much better than those fragile wraiths, but against those players, it would definitely kill them.
"Can these henchmen be resurrected after they're killed?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "Yes, it's possible. It only requires some energy to re-form."
Xue Rui immediately asked, "Can you replenish the power you've expended?"
Lin Leyou was puzzled. "Of course it can be replenished, but it can't replenish itself on its own. Instead, it will slowly recover on its own over time."
Xue Rui nodded. "How long will it take?"
Lin Leyou said, "I don't know. They've never died before. We can give it a try this time."
Seeing that Xue Rui's expression was a bit off, he quickly continued, "This time, we can let one of them die first to see how it goes. It would be a waste for all three to die together. We need to create chaos so we can strike first."
Xue Rui's expression softened. Without his supervision, Lin Leyou always acted on a whim, which was probably a common problem among residents who frequently played the role of NPCs. He would correct him properly.
Lin Leyou didn't know what was going on, but he felt a chill run down his spine, as if something bad was about to happen. Was he really going to have three of his underlings killed this time?
The location of the vengeful spirit wasn't actually very far, and Lin Leyou and his companion could reach it quickly. However, for the player... who still had the persistent problem of traveling with a flashlight in the middle of the night, it wasn't very friendly.
Although they had taken speed-enhancing drugs, the surroundings were pitch black, so dark that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces, and the deep mountains and forests meant that even with flashlights illuminating the way ahead, they sometimes had to slow down for various reasons.
All the players remained on edge throughout the journey, prepared for any potential dangers.
But they miscalculated. Until they arrived at the place where they had encountered the vengeful spirits, they did not encounter any danger and arrived here smoothly.
Rong Yuwen gradually slowed down, looking at the familiar surroundings ahead. "That's where the vengeful spirits appeared before. There are still some wandering spirits in the distance. Everyone get ready, let's rush forward as fast as we can..."
Before he could finish speaking, the scattered vengeful spirits in front of him seemed to have encountered something that excited them, and they immediately let out a shriek to the sky, then charged...
"They're coming, they're charging at us, hurry... Huh?!"
Just as they were about to kill these vengeful spirits, they discovered that the spirits were not disturbed by them, but by something from the other side of the road.
Guo Xia: "Could it be that they sent someone to pick us up?"
Everyone knew who he meant by "them"—the players who stayed in the village. They had actually chosen someone to come and help them, which surprised everyone, but most of them were relieved.
More people are naturally better, since there are quite a few vengeful spirits here. If there are more people, the vengeful spirits will be dispersed, and they can pass through here quickly and safely.
Rong Yuwen said, "Let's go. They've helped us with so many vengeful spirits; this is a good opportunity."
The players were happy, but Lin Leyou was not happy at all. "This is really too much of a coincidence. Let's go, we can hide inside and launch a sneak attack."
Xue Rui nodded, "We are vengeful ghosts. Even if the tools they have can cause us some harm, they can never kill us."
Lin Leyou said, "Be careful, you might not even get hurt. Hey? Isn't that Zhou Nanyue?"
Xue Rui blinked and saw, "It really is him. I didn't expect him to come too."
Lin Leyou said, "He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would help other players; there's something strange about him."
Xue Rui: "Something's up!"
They were slowly approaching, but before they even got close enough, they saw that something had happened to the players.
After Rong Yuwen asked everyone to move forward, all the vengeful spirits came out, and those who were killed would quickly reassemble in the distance and then rush over here.
All players had to use their own methods to attack and kill these vengeful spirits. Their line of sight was also blocked, so the players quickly separated. Even those who got close were few and far between.
Just then, Zhou Nanyue quietly crept up behind a player, took out some weapon from his backpack, and completely ignored the attacks from these fragile vengeful spirits. They were like cat scratches, causing no pain or itch. He silently approached a player who was very inconspicuous on the edge of the field, raised his clenched fist, and punched the player in the back of the neck.
But instead of throwing a direct punch, his fist seemed to be holding something, and the motion was like stabbing. Could it be an invisible, invisible weapon or prop?
Xue Rui, "is dead."
The player who was stabbed by Zhou Nanyue from an unknown item only lasted a second before his eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground, dying silently.
Zhou Nanyue then lifted his body and threw it far away. The sound of the body hitting the ground was barely noticeable amidst the noise, and no one paid any attention to it.
After killing one player, he began a frenzied attack on the surrounding vengeful spirits, simultaneously choosing his next target. He had to hurry, because if he didn't...
These players are no pushovers either. With so many people sharing the burden of the vengeful spirits, they will cross this area even faster, leaving Zhou Nanyue with little time.
