"Oh no, there's a monster!"
Lin Xiang really didn't expect that in addition to ghosts, these monsters would also join in the fun, and they even came out from the ground.
The demon-killing formation has some limitations. It only relies on the spiritual energy gathered from the daily practice of the sacrificial spirit as its energy source. Otherwise, if there are so many villages in the world that have demon-killing formations, where would so many spirit stones come from to drive them?
As the most basic protective formation, the function of the demon-killing formation is to eliminate ghosts and warn other powerful ghosts to attack.
As for monster-like creatures, they will not be restrained by the magic-eliminating formation.
The earthworm moved freely underground as if it was in an empty space, and the stones and soil were directly pushed aside by the strange yellow light around it.
Everyone has seen the slender earthworm that crawls out of the soil after the rain, but this one looks thousands of times the size of an ordinary earthworm, like a giant eyeless python!
It is understandable that the black-scaled python that Lin Xiang killed during the day was huge in size. After all, pythons of similar size are rare but exist in reality.
But this kind of earthworms that appear like buckets are totally unheard of and unseen!
If it were an ordinary sacrificial spirit, it would definitely be helpless in the face of this monster that can move freely in the mud. This kind of innate ability is very tricky.
It’s also because the giant earthworm has no eyes and it hit the blade directly.
Lin Xiang is the land god. After he killed a fierce ghost that attacked him from the side, he thought about it and directly imprisoned the earthworm monster that was running rampant.
At this time, half of the earthworm monster had emerged from the ground, and the other half was still underground!
It turned out that the innate ability of escaping into the earth was met by the land god and was suppressed completely.
It struggled desperately, even causing the ground to vibrate slightly, but Lin Xiang's disguised version of drawing a prison on the ground completely bound it.
The shrill roar resounded throughout the mountain village, making people shudder.
"What's that noise?"
"Dad, Mom, there's a monster!"
"Don't be afraid, Master Ji Ling will protect us."
Everyone in the village, young and old, was extremely worried. They didn't know what kind of monster had appeared. The sound didn't sound like any animal they had seen before.
At the land temple, village chief Wang Minghai was extremely worried after hearing the noise. He said to the others, "Stay in the temple and don't move. I'll go see what's going on."
After saying that, he ran towards the source of the sound with a torch in hand.
At this time, the village chief leads by example and goes wherever there is danger.
But just as he turned around, the players looked at each other and made the decision almost at the same time.
"Wait for me!"
"I'll help too!"
"Let's go, let's go together!"
Even though they had just entered the game and hadn't learned any moves yet, and didn't even have any weapons, it was obvious that there was something exciting to watch, and no one wanted to miss it.
Master Tai Er ran very fast because he wanted to record enough video footage and then edit it into a video to send out.
Yu Xiaoqi was agile and followed them out without caring about the unfamiliar place around him.
fear death?
That doesn't exist at all!
I am afraid of death in my daily life, but who hasn’t died a thousand times in the game?
Even fans of standard farming and management games like Bingxuepiaopiao were very curious and followed along. After all, safety was guaranteed in the Novice Village, and everything looked very real under this virtual reality technology, so they had to watch it.
So Wang Xiuyuan was the only one left in the land temple. Although he wanted to go and see what was going on, his old legs were no match for young people, so he just quietly went to the incense burner and lit a stick of incense.
…
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and one figure after another was running in the sparsely populated village.
Wang Minghai was originally walking very fast, but when he heard the footsteps of the newly arrived Yellow Turban warriors behind him, he couldn't help but slow down to avoid getting lost.
At this point, he hadn't yet experienced the players' reckless behavior. When all five of them caught up, he lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you here?"
"We want to see if we can help you." Han Mu said, "Maybe the spirit of sacrifice needs help."
The people have already come out, so nothing you say will work.
Village chief Wang Minghai thought about it and it made sense. The five people in front of him were all legendary Yellow Turban strongmen, and they might have abilities that he didn't know about.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they saw the earthworm trapped on the ground and the sacrificial spirit.
The upper body of the earthworm, as thick as a bucket, wiggled constantly. Its dark red body was covered in slime, and its head had only a mouth, no eyes or nose. Its large mouth tried to bite the soil and swallow it, but it still couldn't do it.
"What kind of monster is this!"
“That’s so scary!”
"I've never seen such a big earthworm."
Yu Xiaoqi suppressed the fear and nausea in his heart and used the identification technique on it from a distance to see the result.
[Demonized Earthworm: lv.11, an earth-elemental spirit creature, skilled in earth-elemental spells.]
"It's actually level 11, and it's still a monster!"
The other players followed suit and also received the relevant news.
They had just entered the game, and monsters of this level were completely considered early-stage BOSSes, but in front of Lin Xiang, they were helpless and were bound tightly.
Lin Xiang stood in front of the demonized earthworm with a hardwood sword in his hand. He heard the arrival of Wang Minghai and the players, and a vague idea arose in his mind.
Killing this demonized earthworm will earn you experience points, and maybe some good stuff will pop up.
But if you don't kill it and subdue it, then you can make it become a guardian beast!
The soil loosening ability of earthworms is obvious to all.
Lin Xiang actually noticed that there were not even any oxen in Dongshan Village. The villagers had to rely on their own hoes to dig the land in the terraces and mountains, and their production efficiency was very low.
Since I have become the owner of this area, the first thing I have to do is to feed the villagers.
The God of Land does have the skill of ensuring a good harvest, but skill is one thing, and loosening the soil properly is another; the two are not contradictory.
What's more, his skills cannot be used for a long time, but this earthworm can always help underground, and when necessary, it can act as a guardian beast to defeat demons and monsters.
Comparing current interests with long-term interests, Lin Xiang chose long-term interests.
He knew that these monsters and demons were all intelligent and they would submit to the strong.
After Lin Xiang imprisoned the demonized earthworm, he infused it with the power of incense, expelling the evil and demonic energy from the monster and leaving his own mark.
The land god drives earthworms, which is very down-to-earth.
When the power of the incense started to work, light began to linger around Lin Xiang, and the prayers of believers could be heard, making him look extraordinary and holy.
Several players couldn't help but gape in amazement. The appearance and abilities of this sacrificial spirit were really good!
"Uncle Village Chief, what are you doing with the spirit sacrifice?" Xie Longtao asked in confusion.
Wang Minghai shook his head. "I don't know either."
Tai Er Zhenren shook his head beside him: "It looks like he is subduing demons and monsters."
"I finally understand the downsides of this virtual reality game." Bingxue Piaopiao looked out into the darkness. "The monsters are too real and scary, and the environment is so eerie. This looks like a horror game."
"Horror game fans rejoice!"
Yu Xiaoqi was eager to try, "I wonder if I can get in and finish off the enemy. If I can get a kill, my experience should skyrocket."
The others all looked at him sideways.
This beauty was thinking about how to kill the monster that everyone was avoiding, and was not affected by its disgusting appearance at all.
Han Mu warned, "Don't worry, it has been subdued by the sacrificial spirit. Let's see what the sacrificial spirit says. If it needs help, it should issue a mission."
At this time, the struggling earthworm finally calmed down, and the black air that was constantly emanating from its body disappeared without a trace.
Then Lin Xiang untied the restraints on the nearby ground and let it return to the ground.
"It ran away!" Yu Xiaoqi felt a little uncomfortable as he watched the monster disappear without a trace.
Lin Xiang turned around and said to them, "I have successfully subdued this earthworm. It is now the guardian spirit beast of the Earth Temple. You can hire it to plow the land at the Earth Temple in the future."
Han Mu, Xie Longtao, Tai Er Zhenren, and Yu Xiaoqi were all dumbfounded, only Bing Xue Piaopiao showed joy.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Hire a monster to loosen the soil..."
She knew she had made the right choice.
Just thinking about taming monsters to farm is exciting!
Lin Xiang appeared calm on the surface, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart. The expressions of the players in front of him were different, and his image as a master was finally established.
In order to avoid revealing his former identity as a player, he decided to play the role of an NPC seriously: "Newly born wrestlers, the whole world needs your help, but before saving the world, we need your help in building Dongshan Village."
"Here it comes!" Master Tai Er smiled at the other players. Isn't the main storyline here?
Lin Xiang has now completed the task settings on his NPC template and directly sent it to the five players.
"Ding, the Dongshan Village Spiritual Sacrifice issued a mission - to build Dongshan Village. Do you accept it?"
Han Mu and others naturally would not hesitate. How difficult is it to build Dongshan Village as an initial task? It is clearly a task for novices.
Even if you don't know what the reward is, you have to accept it.
Sure enough, after several people accepted the task, changes appeared on their personal panels.
[Task accepted: Build Dongshan Village.]
The impoverished and backward Dongshan Village has long been attacked by demons and monsters, leaving the people in dire straits. Hurry and ask the village chief and villagers; perhaps they need your help.
[Quest rewards: NPC favorability, experience points, coins, skills, equipment, etc.]
Lin Xiang wanted to get rid of these five players right away, as he still had to go back and sort out the goods he had received!
The harvest from the day had not been digested yet, and at night, experience points were gained from killing ghosts, green-faced ghosts, evil spirits, and subduing earthworms. These experiences added up to two levels higher.
The upgrade speed is much faster than that of these real players. Players can only upgrade step by step without the help of the land god and the power of incense.
"I hope the area under my jurisdiction can soon expand to the mountains and forests over there."
Lin Xiang was really worried about the micro spiritual veins and the numerous spiritual herbs and medicines, so it was safest to keep them under his own nose.
