Chapter 559 [(*^▽^*)]
If there is no killing, there will be no corpses. If there are no corpses, what will the opponent eat to increase their strength?
Lin Leyou said, "If killing is necessary, then the battle cannot be one-sided. It must be balanced. To achieve balance, it will not allow players to massacre villagers."
Xue Rui: "Should we still make a move?"
Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. "Make a move, why don't you?"
Xue Rui, "Even if it has no effect?"
Lin Leyou smiled. "How do you know it didn't work?"
Xue Rui, "You're going to take action yourself?"
Lin Leyou said, "Anyway, many players have seen me near the location of the vengeful spirits, so there's nothing wrong with me showing up again. But you still need to hide."
Xue Rui: "Okay, I'll be right here."
After the Ghost Brothers retreated, Rong Yuwen and his group were not attacked again, and no players reported seeing ghosts anywhere. However, their detection items still showed a reaction.
In other words, the ghost soldiers who attacked them earlier didn't run far; they were nearby, watching them the whole time.
Rong Yuwen said, "We need to move forward slowly; we can't stay here forever."
"Come on, lean on me, let's walk together."
All the players huddled together and slowly moved forward. Although the speed was a bit slow, it was both safe and warm, since it was windy and cold here.
Lin Leyou waved with a smile, "You come too. Although you can't show up, you can still control this strong wind for me. Remember, make the wind as strong as you can!"
Xue Rui: "No problem."
With the blessing of the two vengeful ghosts, a chilling wind swept through the area, more than twice as strong as before.
Rong Yuwen squinted, looking around warily, and stopped in his tracks. "Everyone, be careful!"
The wind was so strong that they couldn't open their eyes at all and could only squint to look around. All the big trees around them were bent over, and some had even been broken.
The broken, thick branches, leaves and all, flew into the air. In this gray and dark environment, looking up, it seemed as if strange, black ghosts were flying in the sky.
Rong Yuwen, "It's probably coming soon..."
He gripped the prop in his hand and put on his goggles. They were the most basic props, and white props were cheap, so he didn't feel bad about spending the money, but they allowed him to see his surroundings clearly.
Everyone put on these windproof goggles, but even so... it was useless.
With such a strong wind, the withered branches, rotten leaves, dust, and sand on the ground were all flying in the air. Even if they could open their eyes, they couldn't see their surroundings clearly because their vision was completely blocked by all these miscellaneous things.
Rong Yuwen had a bad feeling. "It might be coming soon. Everyone be careful!"
The most frightening players are undoubtedly the newbies. They lack skills, items, and mindset. No matter how clever or cunning they are when things are going smoothly, when a real crisis hits, their minds go blank. All they can do is hide and run away, completely unaware of how to deal with the situation. While veteran players are on high alert, they don't specifically protect the newbies.
Are you kidding me?! They're barely able to protect themselves, let alone have the energy to look after new players. Besides, there's no benefit to protecting new players for them, and who would do something that doesn't benefit them?
This led to all the new players frantically crowding into the middle, but in addition to them, there were also some veteran players who lacked confidence in their equipment and items, who were also crowding into the middle.
But the other players weren't fools either. Annoyed by their jostling, they slowly moved away and joined a few other veteran players with serious expressions.
Rong Yuwen was accompanied by Guo Xia, Guo Chengzheng, and several other players, each wielding formidable weapons and items.
The players who originally wanted to seek shelter by squeezing into the middle did not expect that their plan would backfire. Now they dared not squeeze anymore, but followed closely behind the other players, fearing that they would fall behind.
Rong Yuwen and his group led the way. Although they couldn't see clearly because of the dust and fallen leaves flying around, the path was right there, and they just walked along it without any problems.
Time passed slowly, and the players moved even slower. Soon, all the detection items reacted. Although the players at the back were scared, they dared not run around.
Staying where they are still has a sliver of hope, but if they run elsewhere, they will surely die. These veteran players with super combat power may not necessarily come to their rescue.
Lin Leyou's five underlings reappeared, this time together from the very back of the group. The problem was, there were no powerful players at the very back of the group.
"A ghost is coming! It's at the very back!"
Rong Yuwen and the others didn't stop, but ran forward quickly, shouting, "Run forward!"
With the team leader taking the lead, the other players naturally didn't dare to linger and ran quickly after the figure in front.
"No...don't leave me! Wait for me..."
"Where is the ghost? Which way should I run?"
"Where are they? Where did they go? Why are you running so fast?! Shout out... Ah!"
Before someone could finish speaking, a ghost grabbed them by the neck and lifted them up, their feet leaving the ground and kicking them hard. But there was nothing they could do; they were still a novice player, with no items and very weak. Once caught by a ghost, they could only wait to die.
"Someone has died..."
"Stop talking, run!"
"Where do we go? It's just the two of us here... no one else can see us."
"This way, this way, if we run along the road we'll definitely find them."
But the wind was strong, making them shiver and so cold that their feet trembled as they walked.
"We're heading towards... Ah! I've been caught! Help me, I..."
Before the female player could finish speaking, the player who had been squeezed next to her suddenly shoved her hand away and ran off like a madman without looking back. This was probably the fastest he had ever run in his life.
Rong Yuwen and his group at the front were naturally in no danger. Although Lin Leyou appeared, the wind was too strong and the players didn't see him at all.
The players who were arrested later saw Lin Leyou.
"Fu... Fu Qingqiu!"
Fu Qingqiu looked at the two players in front of her, "Hello, are you ready?"
Both players were novices. When they saw the BOSS Fu Qingqiu, who looked like an ordinary person, they were so scared that their teeth were chattering. Of course, the main reason was the cold.
The vengeful ghost is the most yin-heavy ghost in this instance. It's no wonder you feel cold when you're so close to it!
The two players watched as their breath turned into white mist, freezing so badly that their bones seemed to crack and pop.
"Prepare...what?"
Lin Leyou laughed and said, "Ready...to die?"
Seeing the dungeon boss smiling at them, the two new players suddenly felt it was all worth it, after all, the boss was actually smiling at them!
Lin Leyou wasted no time and directly extracted the souls of one of the players, turning his minions into six.
Meanwhile, the other player watched helplessly as his companion, who had just been captured just like him, turned into a corpse and collapsed on the ground after being discarded by the BOSS.
The ground began to undulate and engulf the body just seconds after it hit the ground.
The surviving players, witnessing this scene, suddenly felt they were about to perish. They never expected that the BOSS would even take their corpses. Wait, the disappearance of the corpses was actually done by the BOSS?
Lin Leyou suddenly said, "He's got guts; he dared to do this right in front of us."
The player was stunned for a moment. He thought the BOSS was talking to him, but what did he mean by "in front of them"? He was just a weak, helpless, and pitiful newbie player.
Just as he was brainstorming, an unfamiliar voice appeared, "What do you want to do?"
The player paused slightly and looked in the direction of the sound, only to find an unfamiliar person... a ghost! No, not just any ghost, this was a vengeful spirit!
What's going on? There's not just one evil spirit, there are two! There are actually two... two bosses! This is a double-boss dungeon!
Lin Leyou said, "It didn't have this much guts before. Even if it wanted the corpse, it would only act after we left. But now..."
Xue Rui said, "His strength is getting stronger and stronger. I estimate that it won't be long before we meet him."
Lin Leyou: "I'm really looking forward to it... By the way, Wuyan, those people are running very fast, shall we chase after them?"
Xue Rui raised an eyebrow, speechless?
"Is this prepared for me?"
Lin Leyou glanced at the player. Although he was still alive, in their eyes, he was already dead, so it didn't matter.
"Yes, try possessing him and chasing after him to see if you can get close to the ancestral hall."
The players stared blankly at them. It turned out that possession wasn't Fu Qingqiu's talent, but rather the talent of another vengeful ghost boss. Oh well...
I'm completely finished.
"No, no, no... spare my life! I'm very useful, I'm really useful! I'll be your underling, really, really... I'll be your underling!"
Lin Leyou originally didn't want to pay attention, but perhaps because he was facing imminent death, his desire to betray his boss and become his underling became exceptionally strong, and in the end, he actually succeeded!
He received a system notification.
"System notification: Player Fang Yuan has triggered a hidden main quest, becoming Fu Qingqiu's accomplice. He must kill all the villagers. Completing the hidden main quest will not yield any reward, while failure will result in a deduction of 450,000 points!"
"Accept the hidden main quest? Please note that once you accept the hidden main quest, the original main quest will be cancelled."
The player didn't even hesitate; he clicked "accept" immediately! So what if there was no reward? He figured the boss was bound to win, and accepting would at least prevent him from losing points!
At this moment, Lin Leyou also received a system notification that the player in front of him had become one of his own.
