Chapter 16 As long as it can break the defense, scraping can kill
"Success! Master Ergou! Second Senior Sister! We succeeded!"
The Jade Emperor excitedly said in the team channel: "The moment I was blown to death, I saw a yellow shadow running away!"
"Well, it's true that the tornado is gone, but..."
The Jade Emperor and Han Tiaotiao, who were locked up in a small dark room as a death penalty, had no idea what was going on, but Wang Ergou and Zhao Qing stared with wide eyes at the shattered stone temple.
The black gale had indeed disappeared, and in its place was a pitch-black world where one could not see one’s hand in front of one’s face!
The sky was covered with dark clouds. Apart from the dark clouds, no blue sky or sun could be seen, and there was a trembling black fog all around!
This black mist was like frost that pierced into the bones, freezing people so much that they couldn't stop shivering. Wang Ergou and Zhao Qing quickly lowered their five senses to the lowest level, retaining only a few senses such as smell and taste at about 20%. They seemed to be alive again, but two debuffs [Fear] and [Weakness] still appeared in their status bars.
[Fear]: [Recovery effect reduced by 100%, spell power greatly reduced.]
【Weakness】: 【Weakness caused by evil spirits entering the body, life slowly draining away.】
Wang Ergou looked serious: "What's going on?"
Zhao Qing also carefully held a speed talisman and said, "I don't know, but it's not a good thing!"
The black fog soon encroached on the two people, and the visibility in the air became lower and lower. Zhao Qing circulated the spiritual energy in his body and urged the Tiangang Divine Thunder Art. A thunder with a great momentum struck in front of him. The flash of lightning illuminated the surroundings for a moment. It seemed as if a vacuum space appeared around the flashing thunder. The black fog retreated away from it! It worked!
It seems that the thunder has a restraining effect on this strange fog! Before the two of them could think deeply, they saw a vague human figure appearing in the broken place of the stone temple in the light of the thunder, which was very strange.
"What the hell! What is that!?"
"It's definitely not a human!"
As Zhao Qing spoke, she gritted her teeth and struck down another bolt of lightning - with her current level and cultivation, striking down two bolts of lightning was already the best she could do!
This time, the strange figure was even closer to the two of them! At the same time, whether it was an accident or not, the lightning happened to strike near the figure. At the moment when the lightning flashed, Wang Ergou and Zhao Qing also saw the figure's appearance -
It was a skinny, black-faced corpse! When the thunder hit the corpse, a fishy smell wafted out. The smell was even more horrible than durian stewed with stinky tofu and snail noodles. Even if the two of them had their sense of smell at 20%, it was still so stinking that they wanted to vomit! "Why do I feel like this thing is even more terrifying than that Huang Gong?!"
Zhao Qing covered her nose and looked at Wang Ergou, then they each chose a direction and ran in tacit understanding.
This familiar scene made Wang Ergou extremely angry and grief-stricken. He posted two screenshots in a row in the team channel. One was a screenshot of the black-faced corpse when the lightning flashed, and the other was a screenshot of the identification of the black-faced corpse. Then he said bitterly: "Brothers, it was a waste of so many resources, and in the end, this thing was blown up!"
[Hundred-year-old Yin Corpse]: [A Yin Corpse that has absorbed a hundred years of resentment. Because it was a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage when it was alive, it is more powerful than an ordinary Yin Corpse.]
"Ergou, don't panic, it seems to have a health bar!"
Han Tiaotiao was the first to type in the team channel. "Yes, yes, yes! Second Senior Sister, try to see if you can kite it!"
When Zhao Qing heard this, she had an idea. She took out a speed talisman from her game backpack while running, used her spiritual power to stick it on herself, then turned around and rushed towards the corpse that was chasing Wang Ergou.
When she got closer, she used her remaining spiritual energy to condense a sword beam and shot it out - this was her initial skill [Swordsmanship], which allowed her to use spiritual energy to condense sword energy for attacking. It was the most popular skill available to novices. After all, which player didn't want to play a flying sword game?
However, the power of the sword energy condensed by [Swordsmanship] is limited. As the player's level and cultivation level increase, the power will increase. Previously, Zhao Qing either accompanied Wang Ergou and his friends to complete hidden tasks out of friendship, or was obsessed with the teachings of the senior sister Baili Shuang and practiced the "Heavenly Thunder Technique" after drawing the energy into the body. He basically did not study [Swordsmanship] at all, which made its lethality really pitiful.
Therefore, after the sword light flew away, the Yin corpse's skin was not even broken, and its blood bar hardly changed. Instead, it successfully attracted the opponent's hatred - the Yin corpse turned around and left Wang Ergou and chased after Zhao Qing.
Fortunately, the speed of this corpse was not that fast. Even Wang Ergou could barely catch up with it, not to mention Zhao Qing who had the [Godspeed] skill and used the Godspeed Talisman. However, Zhao Qing had struck two thunderbolts in a row and used the [Swordsmanship] skill once, and his mana bar was almost at the bottom. The spiritual power recovery speed that could barely be used to maintain [Godspeed] was completely destroyed by the effect of [Fear]. He could only chew the spiritual plants and herbs in his backpack with less side effects to barely recover some spiritual power, while running with the same strength as the 400-meter sprint in the high school entrance examination many years ago.
Of course, the reason why she didn't give up immediately was the scratching damage caused by the [Swordsmanship] skill just now!
Although it was barely noticeable, the BOSS's health bar did fluctuate!
"Quickly call someone! He can fight! Quickly call someone around the world!"
Zhao Qing screamed in the team channel: "This thing is too ugly, ah ah ah, I can't stand it! Hurry up and call someone!!!"
Wang Ergou reacted the fastest. He immediately used the same speed he used to fight keyboard warriors in the forum to type in the world channel: "A boss has appeared in the hidden mission! Come quickly! If there is a drop in salary, auction points! If there is no drop, each person will get 5 spirit stones!"
Lingshi is the currency used exclusively by cultivators that Wang Ergou and his companions encountered these days when they went to Guangcheng Xianrenju in Taiping Town to sell spiritual plants and herbs. Although it is called "lingshi", it is actually a block of ore condensed from natural spiritual energy. It comes in various shapes, and the most commonly used one is the thumb-sized block, which weighs about one or two taels and is considered to be a standard 1 Lingshi.
The main reason why Wang Ergou dared to offer this price was that he was lucky enough to dig up several good spiritual plants, with a market value of about dozens of spiritual stones. There were only 50 people in the internal test, and at most there were only a dozen online, so it was enough to share.
The three words "hidden", "BOSS" and "Spirit Stone" put together are very attractive. After being on the screen for only a few times, Wang Ergou's team invitations were flooded.
Wang Ergou, who released anyone he saw, changed the team mode from a small team of five to a team that could accommodate 50 people, and then refreshed the screen in the team: "Attention everyone - gather at the blue dot on the map, brothers above level 10 in the Qi Refining stage, relay to stalk the BOSS, and the others should finish off from a distance! Prioritize saving your life! The BOSS can be broken through! Scraping can also kill it!"
"Got it! Don't worry, Ergou! I'm an old scraping master in the canyon!"
"Master Li? You're the one who always runs away after stealing the tower!"
"Get out of the way! I'm a national scraping master!"
Many players took advantage of the time they were on the road to laugh and talk dirty in the team channel.
