Chapter 565 [(*^▽^*)]
The other players were trembling all over, their teeth chattering, and they could barely speak. They all took out items to warm themselves up.
Only the novice players, who had no points at all, or had even spent all their points in the real world on tens of thousands of dollars, were left with no items in their inventory and no points to buy from the system shop. Several of them froze to death...
Fang Yuan never expected that in the end, only he and another Qian Feng survived among the novice players. He wondered what kind of luck Qian Feng had that he actually had a prop that could keep him warm!
The other veteran players were indeed caught off guard by the freeze at first, but fortunately they reacted quickly and had mostly regained consciousness by then. However, the air they exhaled would instantly turn into white mist.
Guo Xia, Guo Chengzheng, and Fang Yuan were unaffected, but they pretended to be frozen and retreated with the other players. The others were too busy to notice anything amiss with the three of them.
Lin Leyou, "When you see me, you don't want to say anything?"
Seven figures floated behind him, six of whom were his underlings, and the other was Xue Rui, who was pretending to be one of them. The evil god's gaze was indeed fixed on Lin Leyou, and he didn't pay any attention to the seven fleeting figures behind him.
They were nothing more than puppets and little ghosts made by Lin Leyou after his soul was extracted. As an evil god, he was not afraid even though he was still seriously injured!
"Evil God, no... what is going on with you... why... why can you still exist?!"
Lin Leyou was surrounded by a chilling black aura, making him difficult for outsiders to see clearly. "So what do you think?"
As he spoke, his figure flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the evil god. With a single claw strike, he actually managed to tear off a wisp of black mist!
The evil god let out a strange cry and fled at top speed. He was still seriously injured and was no match for Lin Leyou, so he could only run away. But if he ran away like this... he probably wouldn't be able to escape!
At this point, it was no longer possible to stay in the ancestral hall. Should they go back to the evil god's temple?
Are you kidding me? The Evil God Temple is no longer his residence. After Fu Qingqiu took it over, where would he find a place? Going there would be suicide!
As long as Fu Qingqiu is alive, the blockade of Haitang Village will not be broken, and he will have no way to escape the village. He will be forced to circle around the entire blockade area.
While the evil god was still pondering, two screams suddenly came from the players' side.
The players were so focused on the battle between the evil god and the boss that they didn't notice something sneaking up and killing two players when they weren't looking!
Guo Xia and Guo Chengzheng quickly retreated to the edge, and the other players all looked in the direction from which the screams came, only to find that there were only two corpses left there.
At this moment, Guo Xia and his companion exchanged a glance and slowly moved their bodies closer to the players who were the most difficult to deal with besides Rong Yuwen.
Before the opponents could react, he launched a surprise close-quarters attack! He severed half of both players' necks, killing them instantly!
The other players hadn't even recovered from the initial two corpses when two more people died! And it was Guo Xia and his group who killed them.
"You...you two...why did you do this..."
Guo Xia and Guo Cheng retreated rapidly, each killing a player as they went, before finally getting away from them. Just then, Fang Yuan, who was standing at the back, pulled out a sharp and long butcher knife, which he had found in a villager's house and had kept hidden until now.
While Qian Feng was staring in disbelief at Guo Xia and the others, he made a ruthless move and stabbed Qian Feng in the neck!
Qian Feng didn't even have time to scream before he collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck.
Because this scene happened at the very back, only a few players noticed it immediately. By the time the other players were about to deal with him, Fang Yuan had already darted away like a monkey!
"How could he... What on earth is going on?!"
Fang Yuan heard the system notification: a reward of one thousand points! One thousand points!
For a new player like him, a thousand points is a lot of money. Clearing the beginner dungeon only rewards a few dozen points! This thousand points is a huge sum for him!
Once he returns to the real world, he can easily exchange a few points for tens of thousands of yuan, enough to buy his own house! Hehe... He's so lucky!
If only I could kill one more... Fang Yuan now realized that this was a special reward given after the hidden main storyline was changed; killing a player would earn him 1,000 points.
Fang Yuan circled around to Guo Xia and the others, and whispered, "Hidden?"
The two paused slightly, surprised to find another player besides them who had triggered the hidden main quest. Guo Cheng grinned, "You're a newbie player; you'll soon have hundreds of thousands of points!"
Fang Yuan paused slightly and shook his head, "I don't get any points for completing the hidden main storyline, but I lose 450,000 points for failing."
Both of them were stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
Guo Xia said, "So there was a limit to the number of participants. Although there's no reward, it's not bad for you since you don't have to lose hundreds of thousands of points."
Fang Yuan nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, this is good enough, I'm not greedy at all!"
Although he was still a little disappointed, he only felt a little disappointed and didn't think too much about it.
The players who were still gathered there were furious. "What are you doing? Have you sided with that vengeful ghost boss?!"
Guo Xia knew there was no need to hide anything anymore. "Yes... we have indeed pledged allegiance to Fu Qingqiu. Now all we need to do is kill you all."
"Wow, there's even a hidden main quest! I haven't encountered it before, how do I unlock it?!"
Very good, their first thought wasn't to kill them, but to ask how to trigger the hidden main quest.
Guo Xia said, "We've reached the final moment; there's no need to ask any more questions!"
"Since that's the case, we can still put up a fight. There are only three of you, including a weakling. Do you really think you're a match for us?"
But no sooner had he finished speaking than he felt the wind making him unsteady on his feet. "No way, the wind's gotten stronger again!"
Amidst flying sand and swirling winds, the players initially thought it was a vengeful ghost targeting them. However, upon closer inspection, they realized it was Fu Qingqiu fighting an evil god, and the aftershocks of the power had simply reached this area.
"What a powerful BOSS, what a powerful evil god, we can't beat any of them."
"Stop talking nonsense, just kill these three first. Anyway, the other side will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
When they looked at Guo Xia and the others, they found that the three of them were completely unaffected by the strong winds, as if they were not affected at all.
"I get it! They've betrayed us and joined the BOSS's side, so this eerie atmosphere has no effect on them! I'm so envious!"
Lin Leyou certainly didn't let Guo Xia and the other two deal with fifty players. No matter how powerful they were, they probably wouldn't have a way to kill all of them.
He sent all six of his underlings to help Guo Xia and the others, leaving only Xue Rui by his side to help him fight the evil god.
The evil god chuckled maliciously, "Why didn't you just throw all these burdens over there? You left one behind, was it for me to kill?"
After saying that, he transformed into black smoke and flashed to Xue Rui's side, but Lin Leyou's claws were in front of him in the next moment, and the evil god had no choice but to retreat.
But he just wandered around; he neither left nor actually ran away.
He is indeed no match for Lin Leyou right now, but Lin Leyou can forget about catching and killing him either. His ability to hide is still quite good, and he has already lost face by showing a little weakness just now.
Lin Leyou was extremely fast, but he couldn't catch up with the evil god. After all, the evil god had no physical form, only a cloud of black mist that drifted around him, which annoyed him greatly. He only had half an hour left and couldn't afford to waste time with the evil god.
Lin Leyou was unaware that the evil god was also shocked and frightened. Logically speaking, even if Lin Leyou could hurt him, he couldn't cause him too much damage, since he had no physical form.
But who would have thought that Lin Leyou could directly grab a wisp of black mist from his body? You have to understand that he has no physical body, and that black mist is his body. Grabbing a wisp of black mist is equivalent to taking a piece of his flesh!
The more times his flesh is ripped out, the more severe his injuries will become.
Ten minutes passed quietly. Fang Yuan had actually managed to ambush and kill a player. In fact, he had taken advantage of a moment when a ghost was attacking a player and ambushed him from behind.
Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded. When he received a thousand points, he thought with some emotion, "Fortune truly favors the bold. Luckily, I chose to surrender. Hehe!"
With 2,000 points, I can get some useful items and definitely clear the next dungeon. Then, in a positive cycle, I can become a pro player myself, hehehe!
With the help of several ghosts, Guo Xia and Guo Chengzheng had already taken the opportunity to kill more than twenty people, while seven or eight others had died at the hands of the ghosts. So, all told...
Guo Chengzheng said with a smile, "There are only... eighteen left. Are you going to surrender and accept your death, or continue to fight us head-on?"
Of course, the players couldn't just give up and die, but neither the timing, the location, nor the people were on their side. It could be said that they were destined to fail. But in the very last moment, they wanted to put up one last fight and, if possible, kill Guo Xia or Guo Chengzheng!
Even if all else fails, killing Fang Yuan would be acceptable. It's even more frustrating than killing them to see a novice player successfully complete the main storyline!
When Lin Leyou appeared in time to repel the evil god as he once again bypassed him and approached Xue Rui behind him, the evil god had already understood something in his heart!
