Chapter 280
The radiant and lively beauty, though veiled, was breathtakingly beautiful. Like a little fox newly descended from the mountain, she playfully perched on the throne, watching them with curiosity and delight. (Incorrect, she was looking at Lin Cang!)
They acted as if they were some great heroes who could immediately save her from dire straits.
All those dirty words like "sea king," "succubus," and "indecent" seemed utterly filthy in her presence.
She was so pure, like a snow lotus blooming on the polar plateau.
It was only then that the players realized why Xue Rongrong was the darling of the Nine Netherworlds. If Xue Rongrong were in their own guild, they would also be unable to resist spoiling her, right?
And then there's that little kitten. How annoying! She must have slandered Snowy Fluffy. Snowy Fluffy doesn't look like a player at all.
The players thought so, little did they know that it wasn't Rong Rong who wanted to build a fishpond and start a harem, but rather that others voluntarily transformed into fish and gathered around Rong Rong.
In a sense, Rong Rong could be considered a different kind of "playboy," right?
The players all glanced at Rong Rong, seemingly casually.
In my ears, the rebel leader and the king were already playing out the plot.
"Tyrant and vixen! Today is your death day!"
I will use your heads to pay tribute to my fallen brothers! And to the innocent people who died unjustly!
And the heroic spirits of the Han people!
"Kill the tyrant! Slay the vixen!"
"Kill the tyrant! Slay the vixen!"
......
The same phrase echoed throughout the palace, whether among the soldiers inside or outside.
Even the common people who were nearby outside the palace joined in the shouting.
Some of the more impulsive players were also raising their arms and shouting.
Their mission was to kill the tyrant and eliminate the wicked concubine!
Complete the "The Tragedy of the Goddess of Luo" storyline.
They helped the rebels fight their way to the palace; without them, the rebels wouldn't have been able to get in so quickly.
As for why they need to do this task, does completing it count as clearing the game? How are the rewards distributed after clearing the game?
They hadn't thought about these issues yet. In short, following the mission instructions was the right thing to do, based on their years of experience playing games.
"Heh heh, it's nothing but an excuse for treacherous officials to seize the throne! This world belongs to me, and everyone here belongs to me!"
Whoever I want to die, will die!
"Isn't it only right that the entire nation should dedicate its resources to supporting me and my beloved concubine?"
The king sneered repeatedly, looking at the rebel leader with the eyes of someone looking at an ant.
Contemptuous and sarcastic, arrogant and disdainful of others.
The rebel leader had a dark look in his eyes; his father had died at the hands of a tyrant and his seductive concubine.
Rong Rong looked at the leader below with a blank expression, which the leader perceived as condescending indifference.
He instantly flew into a rage, yelling, "Kill them!"
At a command, the soldiers swarmed forward.
The king suddenly drew his greatsword and, holding Rong Rong in one arm, faced the charging soldiers.
He was incredibly powerful, slaughtering all the soldiers in one fell swoop, their heads rolling all over the ground. His frenzied, murderous aura terrified the remaining soldiers, who dared not advance any further.
The soldiers looked at each other, hesitant and uncertain.
Enraged, the leader roared, "Kill!"
Just as a general behind him was about to step forward, a player suddenly rushed out, ran in front of Rong Rong and the king, and unleashed a skill.
If this skill were to land, it would inevitably injure Rong Rong. He Canglin rushed over immediately, and the other players also reacted and stepped forward together.
At the critical moment, the king turned around and took the hit of the player's skill all by himself. Instantly, the king's health bar was depleted.
This is a boss that you can attack!
The players were overjoyed. Sure enough, they hadn't guessed wrong. Now all they had to do was kill the king.
And... fluffy snow.
That should be the case, after all, it's a mission to kill a tyrant and eliminate a demonic concubine, and this is the Luoshen's Lament instance.
Xue Rongrong is now playing the role of Luo Shen!
It's obvious that the plot is about Luo Shen dying.
Players unleashed their skills at the king without restraint, and the king quickly placed Rong Rong on the dragon throne before turning to deal with the group of players.
He was just asking Rong Rong to die with him, but now he's afraid she'll get hurt.
Rong Rong watched the other person's back. Regardless of what kind of king he was in the story, it seemed that he treated Luo Shen quite well.
A dozen or so players, all top-tier experts, attacked simultaneously, and in the blink of an eye, they had taken away half of the king's health.
The players continued to attack, and the rebel leader laughed loudly. When the king had only a sliver of health left, he suddenly turned around and faced Rong Rong.
Rong Rong was surprised, thinking that the king was going to kill her first, but to her surprise, the king stabbed himself in the heart.
"My beloved concubine, come to me quickly, don't keep me waiting too long."
The king laughed foolishly, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
He suddenly knelt down at Rong Rong's feet, his head drooped, and he breathed his last.
"Why didn't the king kill Luo Shen?"
"This isn't in the story!"
"Who cares? If he won't kill us, we'll!"
After a brief discussion, the players bypassed the king's corpse and continued their attack on Rong Rong.
Rong Rong quickly cast a defensive buff on herself.
But someone was faster than her.
He Canglin landed in front of Rong Rong with a somersault, and swung his broadsword heavily at the player in front of Rong Rong.
He Canglin truly deserves to be recognized as the number one master in the Xianxia genre.
His attack power was extremely high, and the players lost a third of their health in an instant.
"Lin Cang? What do you mean?"
"Our mission is to kill the tyrant and eliminate the wicked concubine! What are you doing?"
"Holy crap! Could it be that Lin Cang is trying to protect Xue Rongrong and doesn't want us to kill their gang's pet?"
......
The crowd was speechless, mostly because they couldn't understand it.
Why are people from the Nine Netherworlds acting so strangely? It's just a mission; the story should proceed as it's supposed to.
Successfully completing the level will unlock a mysterious grand prize!
well!
Some players tried to communicate properly with He Canglin.
"Is it alright if we make Xue Rongrong die once, and then give her an extra reward in the end?"
Frankly, this method is unfair to many players. Who has ever heard of giving you more rewards just because you have to be killed once in a story mission?
But there's no way around it. With Lin Cang protecting them, killing Xue Rongrong won't be so easy for them. At the very least, someone will be killed by Lin Cang first.
The players waited silently for Lin Cang's reply, but Lin Cang responded with his greatsword.
"Depend on!"
Enraged by their renewed injuries, the players launched a coordinated attack on Lin Cang without hesitation.
Originally, they weren't that much different from Lin Cang in terms of combat power rankings. They just didn't want to cause trouble and didn't want to provoke the mad dog-like Jiu You Xu, so they chose to have a proper discussion.
But they don't care about that now. Can't they kill Lin Cang even if they work together?
The group of men looked fierce and unleashed their strongest skills.
However, their vision suddenly blurred, and they saw Lin Cang enveloped in a seven-colored glow. It was Xue Rongrong who gave Lin Cang a buff!
The players then realized they had forgotten about Snowflake, the strongest support character. Immediately afterward, everything went black, and their health bars were emptied.
They lost their physical bodies and became souls.
They died, but they weren't teleported back; they remain in the instance.
They just couldn't use their skills; they could only be bystanders, watching how Lin Cang and Xue Rongrong would clear the level.
