No one knew how this strange thing happened suddenly, but everyone was mentally prepared when they stepped into this underwater forest so that they would not be so flustered and unable to cope with it.
Especially after the "Gui Jianchou" team displayed their unique skills and Shang Chong used the power of thunder to reject the strange approach, the atmosphere seemed to become more relaxed.
At this time, no one thought that they would be trapped in place by this possible strange possession.
But soon, everyone realized that things seemed a little bad.
"Is everyone okay now, George? Have you taken care of Catherine? If not, drag her over here and let our Chinese friends give her some electroshock therapy.
Several of our friends have already voluntarily joined the electric shock ghost exorcism team."
At this time, there were already more than a dozen people holding hands and forming a chain next to Shang Chong and Qian Bao. Everyone would tremble unconsciously from time to time, but no one felt pain because of the trembling. Instead, they were very serious and pious.
But this only applies to the adventurers who were not possessed by the strange spirit at the beginning and came here quickly. The adventurers who had problems at the beginning are now in a very bad condition.
"No! Catherine is very difficult to deal with. Her hair has turned into seaweed and can't be cut no matter how hard we try! In her current state, there's no way we can get close to her or knock her out! We can't bring her over!"
"Boss! Fishlegs is no good! Not only are his legs now a fish tail, but his upper body is also starting to grow scales! And he's so fast in the sea water that we can't catch him."
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Zhengyi, you're a boy! Who are you ogling? Why are others acting crazy and weird while you're acting crazy and feminine?! Are you crazy?!"
The situation of the adventurers who had problems at the beginning was obviously worse than before. Wu Xiangwang exerted a little force with his legs and his whole body floated in the sea. Then he counted from high above and confirmed that thirteen human adventurers had become unable to control themselves and had become crazy and weird.
However, the conditions of two of them are different from the other eleven.
Wu Xiangwang thought for a moment, and thirteen cone snail poison arrows wrapped with thin and tough spider silk appeared in his hand. The thirteen poison arrows flashed a silver light in the dark sea water and accurately pierced the three human adventurers who had problems at that time.
The toxin of the intermediate cone snail poison arrow has reached the effect of nerve paralysis that any adventurer and monster below level seven cannot resist, so the thirteen adventurers with problems almost froze in place at the same time.
Compared to being paralyzed by lightning in the sea, this kind of stiffness lasts longer and is more difficult to recover from.
The companions of the thirteen adventurers suddenly found that their teammates, who were too weak to control and too strong to hurt, suddenly stopped moving. Just as they were about to reach out to quickly grab them and bring them to the Thunder King, the thirteen people flew backwards in the sea, their bodies straight as thirteen stiff zombies.
Adventurers: “!!!!”
Damn, does it have to be so scary?!
However, everyone soon realized that the one who attacked was not those strange undead beings that they could not see or touch, but the one they identified as the boss of the Crimson Wanted Order, and they felt relaxed at once.
"The boss must have a solution. This looks like a very strong nerve-paralyzing toxin, and there's also spider silk... So this Scarlet Wanted boss is a user of the special abilities of the poisonous spider?"
"Then how do you explain that he was able to conjure up a conch house before?"
"And the weird sea turtle and the weird giant octopus all listen to him."
"Alright, stop guessing. If you can easily guess the boss's abilities, how can he still be called the boss? Let's go and meet up with the boss, and join the Thunder King Ghost Exorcist Team."
So less than an hour after entering this deep sea forest maze, everyone stayed where they were and did not move forward.
They must first find out why their teammates suddenly had problems, otherwise every step they take will be treacherous.
At this time, everyone's abilities can be used, but everyone forgets that they did not light up the deep-sea beacon of the jellyfish in the light box.
There was a person with light-based abilities who lit three particularly bright little underwater suns around them.
It instantly illuminated the surrounding twenty-meter underwater forest.
"...My ability isn't actually a natural light ability, but rather 'Blind You.' It's usually used to conceal myself and my teammates, while also blinding them unexpectedly. Now, I have a 20% chance of actually blinding the enemy."
This boy, seemingly a simple person, said, "If I don't use this ability to blind people, it can still last a long time as pure illumination. This is only if I don't enter combat mode. Once I do, my light will inevitably blind the enemy."
Wu Xiangwang blinked and thought that this ability was really special, and it was somewhat similar to the silent response of "Don't come over here".
With the bright light, everyone's mentality became more relaxed, and then everyone looked at the thirteen adventurers who were surrounded by them.
At this time, Catherine, the first one to be hit, almost no longer looked like a human. She, or rather, "Him," had grown a head full of dark green seaweed that was longer than her body, and even her skin had turned dark green.
Her whole body seemed to have become softer and more slender. Wu Xiangwang even felt that if this person continued like this, she might eventually grow into a human-shaped seaweed, or a seaweed person.
Then there is the half-weird adventurer from the Exiled City whose upper body also began to grow fish scales and turned into a fish. Now, except for his face, his body has completely turned into a weird sea fish. Because he has two fish tails, he looks even more weird.
Eleven of the thirteen adventurers who were tricked became strange.
Fortunately, they were still paralyzed by the poison and could only be tied up in place by the strong spider silk.
Then everyone turned their attention to the other two people who were also affected but did not become weird at all, they just behaved a little abnormally.
One is Shijing Zhengyi, an adventurer who lives a small life. He is obviously a serious man, but after something goes wrong, he starts blowing kisses, throwing winks, and finally even starts touching his own abdominal muscles and body to admire them, but when he touches his penis, he shows an obvious expression of disappointment on his face.
When that expression appeared, all the male adventurers present felt an indescribable and subtle feeling of being rejected.
“Not big enough.”
This is what Shijing Zhengyi said very honestly while touching his penis.
In addition to Shioi Shoichi, there was a girl named Sasha who had been looking at her hands without saying a word since the beginning. She did not attack her companions madly like the other adventurers who had encountered accidents, nor did she act like Shioi Shoichi as if her gender had changed. She just lowered her head and looked at her hands, which kept opening and closing, with an expression on her face that was a little difficult to describe.
Everyone focuses on these two people because they still look like "human beings".
Wu Xiangwang had previously speculated that the adventurers who had been infected were most likely possessed by a "ghostly spirit" similar to an energy body, but the presence of these two people made him feel that his speculation might be a little off.
In this forest known as the underwater maze tomb, the "dark shadows" that occasionally flash by may not just be "ghosts of the undead."
Perhaps, it could be the "undead" itself.
But, is this possible?
Wu Xiangwang pressed his eyebrows and turned to look at Lin Yuan who was standing next to him.
As a result, this showy guy smiled and winked at him, and even reached out to scratch the palm of his hand.
Don’t forget each other: This guy doesn’t look like an undead at all.
"Zhengyi! Zhengyi, wake up and stop messing with yourself! There are many of our companions here watching us! We need to retain some self-respect!"
At this time, Shijing Zhengyi had gone so crazy that after touching his own penis, he started to want to touch other people's penises, which frightened his teammates so much that they retreated one after another.
Fortunately, at this moment, the girl named Sasha next to Shijing Zhengyi suddenly slapped him, and the slap made Shijing Zhengyi so quiet that he dared not move.
"Oh my! Lanlan, you hit me again. I was just...excited."
Shijing Zhengyi covered his face and sobbed, calling Lanlan to Sasha.
At this time, Sasha, or Lanlan, looked directly at Wu Xiangwang. Her eyes were sharp and full of scrutiny. She even slapped Wu Xiangwang on the spot, but was slapped back by Wu Xiangwang.
It was at this time that Wu Xiangwang discovered that the slap this girl gave actually carried a very powerful force, at least more than level seven.
Her slap was caught, and "Sasha" smiled.
"You seem strong enough, so I'll make it short."
"I am the imprisoned soul of a human adventurer who died before you... Since I died recently, my mind and memory are still relatively clear."
"This time, I was fighting with another strange undead spirit to temporarily occupy this body."
"There are countless dead 'ghosts' in this forest. Some have had their bodies eaten by the forest, their souls slowly consumed. Others have had their bodies taken over by previously deceased undead, their souls losing control of their bodies and transforming into other people or strange beings."
"In short, this forest is full of incomplete or relatively complete 'undead'. Even if you can't see us, we do exist."
"It's just that once we leave the forest, our power as undead will be greatly depleted, so we only wander in this forest."
"Since you are all human adventurers, I am giving you some kind advice."
"Shasha" pointed at the eleven human adventurers lying motionless on the ground and said, "Just kill them! Once a strange undead spirit invades your body, unless you drive it out within an hour, your body will be transformed into something strange because of the massive amount of strange energy it has been injected into it."
"Even for the weirds themselves, being invaded by the undead weird is troublesome, because it means becoming another weird."
After Sasha finished speaking, she continued looking at her hands and stopped talking, leaving the human adventurers around her looking at each other in silence.
How do I say this?
No one directly attacked the eleven human adventurers.
First of all, no one can be sure whether the words of an unknown "ghost" are true. This undead says that he is a human adventurer, but who can prove it?
Secondly... even if what the undead said was true, how could they kill their companions just because of a single sentence?
Unless they see with their own eyes that their companions are beyond redemption, they will not take action until the last moment.
At this time, Shijing Zhengyi was touching his body and laughing. His voice sounded a bit gloating and a bit fearful and angry: "Hehehe, don't hesitate, do it, otherwise, even your own soul consciousness will be eaten!"
"I am the aftermath of Lanlan, the one I tried to save but failed to save."
hiss.
Many people gasped.
The sequelae are indeed serious!
But still no one took action.
Again, no one would really take action unless they saw with their own eyes that their companion was beyond help.
Moreover, the expressions on the faces of the entire Wu Xiangwang team members were full of doubt that they could not be saved.
Shang Chong was the first to stretch out his feet and poke the eleven people.
His feet are also electrified.
Eleven people were shaking and trembling, each with a grim expression, but no one recovered.
"Hmm, how about I give them some mushrooms? Some mourning mushrooms to reduce the strange power? Maybe then the human soul will gain power?"
"They're all stuffed into one body, so why don't we all just be miserable together?" Qian Bao shook his head. "Why not use some tiny nano-explosives and specifically find the location of the strange undead and explode them!"
Wang Xiao held up his glasses and looked carefully: "I can clearly see that there are two completely different data energies fighting in the bodies of these eleven people, but they are fighting inside their bodies, and if it is inside their bodies, we can't make a move.
It seems like we can only leave it to fate?"
"Amitabha. If that's the case, my fellow Taoists and I might be able to help."
Master Wu Er suddenly spoke at this time, and everyone unconsciously looked at him...his shiny head.
The handsome monk didn't care: "This is just like the 'battle between inner demons' or 'invasion of evil spirits' recorded in Buddhist or Taoist scriptures.
In this situation, external forces cannot help, and the person with the inner demon can only overcome it through the power of their own faith and will.
"Well, in that case, Master, it seems like you can't help much, right?"
Wu Er glanced at the adventurer who asked the question, clasped his hands together and smiled: "I can recite the Exorcism Sutra and the Rebirth Sutra for him."
"That's right. I can also read some Taoist scriptures to them. I believe that as long as they feel the pure and natural aura of righteousness, they will be liberated!"
All other adventurers: "..."
They looked at the boss of Scarlet Wanted Order.
7A: “…”
To be honest, he also felt that it was not very reliable.
But these two people really started chanting while standing and sitting, and what shocked everyone, especially the non-Chinese adventurers, was that when these two people started chanting, they really felt an invisible force lingering around them!
"?! Oh my god, this, this, this, so there really are ghosts in this world?!"
"Ha, what are you still doubting at this moment? Aren't these undead spirits actually ghosts? Moreover, they are strange undead spirits!"
Therefore, when dealing with the energy undead themselves, the invisible "Haoran Exorcist Spirit" actually produced power.
"The strange energy data in these eleven people's bodies is decreasing!" Wang Xiao said.
Everyone was delighted, it worked!
Lan Lan, who was still looking at her palm, poured a bucket of cold water on him: "It's useless. There's no time."
Wang Xiao frowned and continued to look: "At the current rate of reduction, it will take about ten hours to completely clear it..."
Lanlan curled the corners of her mouth with a feeling of helplessness and sarcasm.
So, this journey home was originally a pit full of various tortures.
Everyone will die, and no miracles can happen.
The little sun that blinded your eyes suddenly dimmed, and the atmosphere became much more depressing.
At this moment, Wu Xiangwang suddenly stepped forward and asked Wang Xiao directly: "Tell me which side is dominated by human power and which side is dominated by strange power?"
Wang Xiao paused and quickly pointed at Catherine's left shoulder and neck, so Wu Xiangwang's sharp nails actually pierced directly into Catherine's left shoulder.
Catherine's teammates almost fought back immediately, but they soon discovered that there was no bleeding and no large holes in Catherine's left shoulder. At this time, Wang Xiao and another adventurer who was very sensitive to the type of strength spoke at the same time -
"The power of weird data is diminishing."
"It feels like the power of evil has weakened!"
So, as the adventurers shouted 666 in unison and Lanlan looked up in surprise, Wu Xiangwang sucked the blood of the eleven adventurers one by one.
After inhaling it, the adventurers' strange states began to subside. Twenty minutes later, everyone gradually recovered.
"This is impossible! What on earth did you do?! Do you have the ability to act directly on the soul?!" Shocked Lan Lan shouted out.
Wu Xiangwang shook his head: "It doesn't have any power that affects the soul. It just sucks their blood to remove the toxins."
To put it simply, it's like being bitten by a poisonous snake and sucking out the blood from the bite.
Before the strange soul completely takes over the entire body, it is enough to weaken its power.
There is always power in the blood. All you have to do is suck out the blood from the part of the body that is occupied by the strange undead and has begun to be imbued with strange power.
Fortunately, when I sucked blood, I purified it into energy directly, otherwise it would be really terrible.
At this point, the crisis was resolved, with no one dying.
After that, everyone looked at Shijing Zhengyi and Sasha.
These two human ghosts are basically our own people. We can't hurt our own people, right?
However, Lanlan did not make things difficult for the human adventurers. She withdrew from Shasha very decisively, and even revealed the translucent undead shadow in front of Wu Xiangwang and the others.
"...It's very easy to get lost in the underwater forest. I'll lead you out."
After she finished speaking, she floated straight forward. The others looked at each other for a moment, and finally followed her.
Anyway, everyone will pay attention to the direction and remain vigilant, so a human undead will not be able to kill them.
In fact, Lanlan did not cheat anyone. It only took more than 20 hours for this ghostly human undead to bring them to the edge of the underwater maze forest, which they originally thought would take several days or even more than ten days.
They didn't even know if it was because of the "undead"'s leadership, but they didn't encounter any major danger in the remaining twenty hours. Even when there were strange sea beasts, weird currents, and whirlpools swirling downwards in the forest, they managed to get through them safely.
When they finally reached the edge of the forest, they looked forward and could already see the faintly radiant underwater city-state ahead.
It was very easy to see, as the city-state seemed to have gathered all the light from the seabed.
In the darkness, it is extremely eye-catching.
"...You can walk the rest of the way on your own." Lanlan's voice was calm.
However, when Wu Xiangwang raised his foot forward, Lanlan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
[If possible... perhaps you can find a human or a monster in Ocean City. His name is Wen Zimo. If he's not possessed, he should be able to help you.]
[Also, this forest has been experiencing slight tremors since a month ago. I've also noticed that the number of strange undead spirits and...human undead spirits in the forest is rapidly decreasing. Perhaps this information will be of some use to you.]
Wu Xiangwang paused slightly before bowing softly, "Thank you."
"I'll go find him."
Tell him that there is someone who, even though he no longer has a body, still misses him in the Forest of the Dead.
Lanlan didn't say anything else.
The adventurers continued to move forward for three days, and they finally arrived at the "Ocean City", which can be called an "underwater paradise" and is truly dazzling!
In other words, from the outside, this is a magnificent crystal city. Its walls, gates, and even the streets and buildings are made of huge, colorful underwater crystals. Almost every place is reflecting light.
It's like what a dragon palace or castle in the sea should look like, something everyone has done in their childhood.
"Oh my god, it's incredible. I can actually come to a place like this in my lifetime."
Shang Chong expressed everyone's feelings.
"It's like a miracle."
Even if the adventurers disliked this world, they all nodded at this moment.
This is truly a miracle in the sea that cannot be accomplished on Earth.
"Come on! Let's take a look at what this underwater crystal city looks like! I can't wait to see the missions and stamps of this city!"
An excited adventurer took out his pass and wanted to rush into the city, while others lined up to enter while admiring this underwater crystal city.
Wu Xiangwang was a little worried that his seven big red A's would stimulate the weird guards at the door.
He even put on his cloak and was ready to become invisible at any time.
As a result, the mysterious captain of the guard guarding the city gate took the pass carelessly, opened it and took a look, and he jumped up in surprise on the spot.
“You you you you you you!!”
Don’t forget each other: “!”
"Hahahaha! Oh my god, hurry up and follow me into the city to accept the mission! Humanity's number one troublemaker! If it's you, you will definitely be able to complete the mission!!!"
This was the first time that Wu Xiangwang was so enthusiastically pulled by the strange guard captain to the task panel at the edge of the city.
Then he couldn't help but say "fuck" in his heart.
There is only one task posted on this task panel——
[Ocean City Hero/Merchant/Beauty Mission:
The Ocean City's treasure, the Ocean Gem, has mysteriously disappeared! Without the power of the Ocean Gem, the Ocean City is about to enter an endless night!
An urgent, city-wide mission is now underway: recover the lost ocean gems within one month! Otherwise, you'll be buried in the deep sea forever!
Use your strength/wealth/charm to find the beautiful, powerful, and unique ocean treasure!
Wu Xiangwang looked at the task in silence.
The weird captain of the mantis shrimp next to him was still excited: "Hurry up, wanted criminal! Come on! You are so good at making trouble, you can definitely help us find the ocean gems, right?! You can definitely do it!"
Don’t forget each other: “.”
If you find me, will you make sure you don't issue a wanted warrant for me afterwards?
