Chapter 275: White Orchid Rain Festival (Fifty-Eight)
"Does the player need to use the gift skill - Bloody Satin (the upgraded effect is Bloody Waterfall)?"
Nan Huan was floating in the air when an idea came to his mind. The system seemed to have the ability to read his mind and asked in a servile manner.
An imperceptible worry flashed through Nan Huan's mind. Of course, it was not directed at the system's question, but at the densely packed skeletons that filled the entire city. But in the end, after seeing the helpless expressions on the faces of several other players, he uttered two words.
"use."
After she said this, she looked at Bei Xi before speaking.
"I have a way to fight them off, don't worry."
At the same time, for everyone's safety, Nan Huan flapped his wings and took Bei Xi to stand in front of everyone.
【bite--
It was detected that the player had used the gifted skill "Blood Falls" a certain number of times, activating the final version of the "Blood Plague" effect.
Bloody Plague: It spreads from one person to ten, and then from ten to a hundred. It kills people silently and invisibly.
Tip: This skill is extremely effective, please use it with caution. 】
Nan Huan did not waste too much time on this cautious reminder, because as far as he could see, the dry bones had already become agitated and were leaping into the air like stairs, but they were directly dispersed by Bei Xi's iron axe.
The moment the word "use" came out of Nan Huan's mouth again, there seemed to be something more in the air.
The remaining few people hadn't reacted at all before they saw the dead bones that were originally threatening in the yard suddenly fell down layer by layer like waves, until the rising red blood mist looked like a blooming flower. Only then did they see the thin layer of red blood mist floating in the air.
Although Nan Huan knew that the system's instructions and prompts for the use of props or skills would not be exaggerated, nor would they be discounted from the actual effects, he saw that the withered bones, which were still full of life just now, were shattered into white powder as if they were infected with the plague when they were stained by the fine blood mist.
Although the withered bones are just a skeleton, they are still very smart. At least they sensed something was wrong when their companions turned into powder and never stood up again.
The courage that had made me rush here regardless of everything, as if I had smelled something, disappeared in an instant and receded as quickly as the tide.
After all, they just want to borrow two skins to use, but they don't want to turn into powder and never be able to put their own bodies together again.
But the blood mist is not so easy to communicate with. Once it is contaminated, the only way out is to be smashed to pieces.
Although the night was dark, the red and white waves were still very obvious when everyone looked down. The dead bones had nowhere to hide. The red blood mist was like a spark that set the prairie on fire. It swept away the dead bones with great force. The whole Bailan City was like a heavy snowfall. Layers of white powder accumulated on the ground, which were blown up by the strong wind and fell onto the houses and streets.
This process only lasted less than five minutes, but the scene was so horrifying that after the last skeleton disappeared and the red blood mist disappeared into the dust, the few people floating in the air had not yet come to their senses.
At the same moment when the danger disappeared, Nanhuan and Beixi felt that the night here was too quiet, even the wind made no sound.
Man Wugui can freely enter different copies, give herself an identity that fits the copy, and can even interfere with the system to a certain extent. So how much does she know about her own personal skills?
Nan Huan recalled that in the copy of Shuimu Private High School, Man Wugui was not at all surprised by the appearance of Heer. In fact, her original intention of doing so much was just to get what she wanted from Heer, but she changed her mind later.
Now, Nan Huan is 100% sure that Man Wugui not only knows about his personal skills, but he understands them very clearly.
If that was the case, why did she choose to use dry bones against herself?
She knew clearly that she had the personal skills to deal with these dry bones, and those things couldn't even hurt her at all, so she set up these dry bones, spent half a day's effort, imitated the voices of people they were familiar with, tricked them into opening the door, and created such a big siege scene. Was she testing herself with a fluke mentality?
Nan Huan didn’t think so. It was precisely because of this that the current silence made her feel uneasy for no reason.
What if this arrangement was a trap from the beginning?
Bei Xi and Nan Huan thought of this problem at the same time, "Let's find a place to hide first..."
【bite--
The triggering of the 'backlash' condition was detected. The player broke his oath and chose to hurt his believers instead of protecting them...】
Bei Xi was interrupted by the system's prompt sound before he could finish his words. Unlike the normal prompt sounds that would sound in the players' own minds, this prompt sound was like a broadcast, echoing through the air at this quiet moment, stunning all the players present.
After all, whether it was the words "pledge" or "believer" mentioned in the system prompt, they were all very unfamiliar to ordinary players, so President Alice and her group did not understand what this sudden prompt was at first.
But these words sounded different to Nan Huan and Bei Xi. Nan Huan did not hide anything from Bei Xi, so Bei Xi knew about the other party's personal skills and all the details involved.
But what surprised her was that, from the beginning of the game till now, because the trust value required for the title of 'die-hard believer' was very high and the conditions for completion were very harsh, Nan Huan had only used it twice so far, once for A Liu and once for Yizhihua.
In both cases, the other party was in critical condition, so Nan Huan used this skill to save their lives, but it also trapped them inside the control panel.
But now the system prompts that Nanhuan does not protect its believers.
Nan Huan looked at his control panel and saw A Liu and Yizhihua, who were acting perfectly fine. For a moment, he couldn't figure out where the accusation came from.
The system did not explain the possibility to them at the moment, because the cause and effect of this statement had not been made clear, and the system seemed to have another problem.
[Warning, warning, the believer's identity is detected to be inconsistent...]
【bite--
The triggering of the 'backlash' condition was detected. The player broke his oath and chose to hurt his believers instead of protecting them...】
The system seemed to be skipping frames, jumping back and forth between two prompts that sounded extremely contradictory, and before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the next prompt.
It's like they have schizophrenia, fighting for control of the same body.
"What's going on? Is the system going haywire again?"
Alice, the guild leader, listened to what was said and then temporarily jumped in front of the guild leader and the young lady. "Is this tip aimed at the young lady? Why did you say that those withered bones were the young lady's 'believers'? What should we do now?"
It wasn't that she was suddenly so curious, but this "backlash" didn't sound like a good thing. She needed to understand the situation and how to deal with it next.
The eldest lady shook her head. "It's hard to explain it in a few words, but I still don't understand what's going on. In this situation, I'm afraid it would be better for you to separate from me..."
"Someone."
Nan Huan's mind raced. No matter what was going on with the system, or what the so-called "backlash" was, it was all directed at him, and it would be better for everyone to separate from him.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Bei Xi, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
President Alice understood what the eldest lady meant, and before she had time to object, she followed Bei Xi's gaze and saw that Man Wugui had appeared on the eaves opposite her at some point.
She was still wearing the black robe, which clearly covered her face, so people should not be able to see her expression clearly. However, President Alice inexplicably felt that she was smiling, as if she appeared just for this moment.
When the other party appeared, the remaining presidents had already prepared for battle and stood in front of the eldest lady.
The system, which had been in trouble for a long time, returned to stability, not knowing whether it was because of Man Wugui's appearance or because someone finally gained control of the system.
【bite--
Backlash has begun...】
No matter what the situation was, everyone's face darkened the moment they heard this reminder. This was a result that no one wanted to hear.
But obviously, the system has made its own decision.
For a moment, everyone's nerves were tense, and Bei Xi even hugged Nan Huan into his arms. After all, the only possible source of harm at the scene was Man Wugui who was not far away.
But unexpectedly, the opponent did not attack immediately. Bei Xi was unsure of what the opponent was trying to do. For the first time, she felt inexplicably flustered. She clenched the iron axe with one hand and hugged Nan Huan with the other.
Among the group of people, it was Nan Huan who first noticed something was wrong. After all, it was something she had just used, it was her own skill, so she was naturally very familiar with the fine blood mist floating in the air.
Before she had time to think, she had already broken free from Bei Xi's arms, flapping her wings and moving higher in the air.
After all, everyone was in mid-air at the moment. Although Bei Xi was worried about Nan Huan's safety and hugged him, she was doing so to protect Nan Huan. Naturally, she was not on guard against him and had never considered that the danger came from within.
Secondly, Bei Xi did not have any support in mid-air. She was completely dependent on Nan Huan's wings to float in the air. So as soon as Nan Huan left, she was the first to fall freely. Fortunately, President Alice was quick to grab her and Bei Xi was able to stabilize her body. At the same time, she finally saw the tiny blood mist following Nan Huan.
Everyone saw the power of this thing just now. The layers of dry bones shattered into powder the moment they touched the blood mist. No one dared to think about what the consequences would be if this thing touched the young lady.
Although the incident happened somewhat suddenly, and although they still haven't figured out why the young lady's personal skills just now started to chase the young lady because of the so-called "backlash", the first thing everyone reacted to was to use flying props to chase the young lady's whereabouts and protect her safety.
Although other people did not understand the current situation, the moment Bei Xi saw the red blood mist, he vaguely understood what the system meant by "backlash", that is, Nan Huan would receive the same punishment as he had used to kill those dry bones.
On the other hand, Bei Xi also understood that those dry bones should be more than just dry bones. Even the system's prompt just now, "The identity of the believer is not detected to match", is very intriguing.
But the current situation did not allow her to think more, because she understood Nan Huan's action of pushing her away. At such a high height, she would not worry about what would happen if she fell down, because the real crisis was above the red blood mist. So she decided in an instant to abandon everyone and bear the consequences of what might happen next.
But precisely because she understood this, Bei Xi felt a surge of anger in her heart. After using President Alice to stabilize her body, she quickly found a flying prop from the control panel and forgot about everyone else. Man Wugui was not the real source of danger. She came to witness everything, or perhaps she had other purposes.
But Bei Xi could only get closer to Nan Huan first. She pressed the private communication channel, "How...be careful and wait for me."
She originally wanted to ask how the other party could abandon her at this time, but when the words came to her lips, she looked at the blood mist in the air that was gradually shrinking the encirclement, and forced herself to suppress her heartache, so she had to ask Nan Huan to be careful and wait for her.
Without using his own abilities, he used his own personal skills to punish himself. The moment he saw the red blood mist, Nan Huan realized that even if he had wings and could fly, he still couldn't avoid the so-called "backlash". After all, this was like the inviolable death rules in the game. It had nothing to do with ability, but was a setting of the game.
But she was a little puzzled as to why those dry bones were regarded as her 'believers'. She was clearly aware that the game could not have made a mistake. The identity mismatch mentioned just now might have caused some ambiguity, which caused the system to become mentally ill. She struggled for a long time, but in the end, she still recognized those dry bones as her 'believers'.
In her limited memory, this situation has never happened before, so it is very likely that she has forgotten it, or it happened a long time ago, and it may even be related to this game.
Nan Huan is not a self-centered person, but after experiencing so many situations in the game copy, her own strange personal skills, so many Huls, and so many different worlds, if she still thinks that she just entered this game accidentally, then she is really stupid.
Now there is a reasonable guess, that is, the system's judgment is correct, but I have forgotten a lot of things. Man Wugui deliberately used a trick to use the system to solve his own problem.
The blood mist behind her was getting closer and closer, the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and she felt it was becoming more and more difficult to hide.
The map of this dungeon is only as big as Bailan City. Even if she had wings, she couldn't fly out of the city. She could only toss around up and down. However, the formation of blood mist increased hundreds and thousands of times. In order not to endanger Beixi and others, she always controlled the direction. After hearing Beixi's words, she was stunned for a moment before responding, "Don't chase me, don't come over."
She didn't know what to say. Perhaps there was really no other way out in the current situation. She could only beg Bei Xi again and again not to come near her.
"Wait for me." But Bei Xi turned a deaf ear to her words and only responded with two words in an impatient tone.
While Nan Huan was distracted and talking, the blood mist had already penetrated her body like a bullet. She couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, but fearing that Bei Xi would worry, she endured the severe pain and cut off the communication channel.
She stared at her pierced arm. The blood mist pierced through her body like a speeding bullet. The wound also felt hot like a gunshot wound, and the burning sensation made Nan Huan very uncomfortable.
But at the same time, her brain also cooled down. The damage caused by the blood mist to her was not as fatal as that of the dry bones. At least, it was not like those dry bones, which turned into a pile of powder themselves.
But it was obviously too early for Nan Huan to be happy. Because of her injury, her movements slowed down. The blood mist caught up with her like raindrops and penetrated her body without any warning.
The pain was more obvious this time, because Nan Huan watched with her own eyes a drop of blood mist passing through her heart. The burning sensation made her want to reach out and press her wound, but this hesitant action only made her movements slower. Nan Huan was like a target, floating in the air, and the blood mist penetrated her body again and again.
【bite--
Warning, warning, the player's health is decreasing rapidly. 】
The system emitted a sharp explosion. Nan Huan was already burned by the burning sensation of her wound and could no longer use her wings to maintain her balance. Her eyes were filled with blood mist. In the midst of the scarlet mist, she could only see that the red health value in the center of her control panel was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye: 30.1, 29.1...
The eldest lady's wings are her personal skill, which is innate. In addition, she has been using them very skillfully during this period of time. However, the remaining few people who can float in the air are all using flying props. They are not as skilled as the eldest lady, so they are naturally left behind by her.
Bei Xi was anxious. After all, she had felt that Nan Huan's flying speed was slowing down, and her movements were not very flexible. In addition, her white wings seemed to be stained with blood, which made her even more anxious.
Of course, she was not the only one who noticed this. The rest of the people also noticed this. President Alice looked at the swaying figure and seemed to have made a decision. She pressed the communication channel and said, "Control the flying props. I will use the rabbit hole to take you to the young lady."
This action was very dangerous. After all, they had already seen the red blood mist that densely enveloped the eldest lady. Bei Xi and Alice both understood what President Alice's action meant.
Bei Xi didn't want to involve other people for Nan Huan, but now she saw that there was no other way. She pondered for a moment and uttered only two words in a deep voice, "Thank you."
