Chapter 38: Die already?
As we all know, the game world of "Ten Continents" is said to be a world of complete AI autonomous evolution.
In other words, unless there is a creature like the Inferi that has no brain at all, other intelligent creatures, even bosses, can think.
Of course, whether the demon can be considered a living being remains to be considered, but it is certain that it possesses intelligence.
For example, the current situation: after sacrificing three players, a bunch of player dogs are squatting not far away, and are in a stalemate with the BOSS.
No matter how the players try to lure them, even if they run to the pool where the BOSS lives to dance, the BOSS is determined not to come out - after all, no matter how stupid a person... uh, or a demon, is, after being hurt three times by the same method, he will learn his lesson.
However, what the players don’t know is that the reason why the demon refused to come out is because it found that it was eating humans in vain!
Although the body that contains the player's consciousness is a puppet made by Fang Xianyu, this kind of puppet made with system energy is not an ordinary product of refining equipment, but a real human body, but without a soul. In addition, whether it is using energy to enlighten the mind and cleanse the meridians (players upgrade their skills), or the spiritual power it contains (Fang Xianyu made fake pills for players to disguise as "blue bars"), it means that even if this thing has no soul, it is also a "tonic" for the demon.
But - the premise is that it is actually eaten and digested.
The problem is that it has not digested - that is, Fang Xianyu's resurrection of the player.
The so-called resurrection, of course, is not to create a new puppet and modify it to the state when the player died. How much effort would that take? In fact, "resurrection" is nothing more than Fang Xianyu's "time and space retracing" of the dead player's body. This "retracing" can only retrace the state of the body itself, and does not change the state of other things it interacts with.
To put it simply, every time the demon swallows a player, he will clearly feel something entering his stomach, but after a short while, that thing will "disappear".
It was a waste of time! Especially for the Nine Nether Demons like the demons, they rely on devouring to "cultivate" or "grow" or even heal themselves. As a result, they got nothing for three consecutive times, and they were also beaten three times. Who wouldn't learn a lesson? In short, compared to the corpses, the demons, who are considered to be very smart, would not come out of the cold pond even if they were beaten to death by a group of small insects that had not even built their foundation after suffering three consecutive losses.
"Brother Gou, what should we do now?"
Seeing a player who volunteered to take off his clothes except for his underwear by the cold pond, and then danced the third subject, the horse dance, and even improvised a seductive dance, but still failed to seduce the BOSS, the Jade Emperor finally couldn't help but suggest: "If it doesn't work, why not use the ultimate move?"
Other players also echoed: "Yeah, Brother Gou, my Thunder Talisman is already thirsty for it!"
Wang Ergou was getting a little impatient, so he nodded and began to give orders in the group microphone skillfully: "Okay, then let's go to Plan B. Team one, take off all your clothes and bring your thunder talismans forward. I'll count down and you guys will use them in the water together! Team two, get ready, listen to my shout and go forward! Come on! Get in position, get in position!"
Hearing the command from the group microphone, the players began to run in their respective positions. Five players took the lead in taking off their clothes, and ran to the cold pond with thunder talismans in their hands, preparing nervously.
Wang Ergou shouted passionately in the group microphone: "Come on! Prepare to count down! Three! Two! One! Release the thunder talisman!"
"boom--"
There were several loud noises almost simultaneously, and five blue-purple lightning bolts struck the water surface. The water in the pond was splashed everywhere by the lightning, and the flying water even rose more than ten meters high. The entire dark water surface was flowing with blue-purple electric light, which made the players exclaim in surprise.
Then, huge balls of black mist burst out from the water surface. The entire pool of water seemed to be stirred by a huge stick. A terrifying whirlpool formed in the center, and the surrounding players were even uncontrollably swept in. Even Wang Ergou was frightened by the scene and froze for a moment. Then he was the first to react and shouted in the group microphone: "What are you all standing there for! Run! The boss's health bar is empty! We've defeated him!"
Everyone suddenly woke up as if from a dream and ran out as fast as they could.
The health bar of the red name on the map was empty. This "battle" was completely beyond the expectations of all players - if it could be considered a battle.
Players were discussing in the team channel: "He died so soon?"
"That's it? That's it?"
It was as if everyone had made sufficient preparations and were planning to wipe out the BOSS many times before killing it, but suddenly, with an inexplicable move, the MVP was directly defeated and the battle ended on the spot, so that everyone still had a feeling of unreality.
But Fang Xianyu, who had hidden his figure, looked more cautious.
Because the vortex created by the thunder talisman was swallowing up the cold pond water, the passage leading to the Nine Netherworld hidden under the cold pond was also opening, which meant that all kinds of low-level demons in the Nine Netherworld could invade here through this passage! The reason why it was called low-level demons was that this passage was relatively fragile and could only accommodate low-level demons of the Nine Netherworld. If it was a real demon, the passage would be destroyed in an instant because it could not withstand the impact of the demonic energy.
But even so, it is still a headache - although a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can easily kill a lower-level demon, these things appear in groups, and they will not play by the rules and attack you one by one.
The lower-class demons in the Nine Netherworld are like rice on the grassland. They are everywhere in the Nine Netherworld. As long as there is a passage, they will instinctively rush out through the passage, just like cats smelling fish and moths seeing the light of fire! A group of these things will be a devastating blow to the villages and towns where mortals live!
What to do? Fang Xianyu's mind was rapidly analyzing the solution.
If she had reached her previous level of cultivation as the Taiyin Golden Immortal, she could have easily solved the problem by simply sealing the passage or destroying it.
But she is only at the foundation-building stage now. Even though she is much stronger than the average foundation-building cultivator, she is still somewhat helpless when faced with this passage connecting to the Nine Netherworlds.
Otherwise, why not use the scales of the Horned Star Lord? The Star Lord must have a way to solve this problem!
But Fang Xianyu was a little reluctant to give it up. This scale that contained a trace of Jiao Mu Xingjun's divine consciousness was a rare treasure! Otherwise... just set up daily tasks and let players take the initiative to kill monsters and level up? At the same time, the merit power returned by killing low-level monsters can also replenish the system energy that has only decreased for such a long time, which is a two-pronged approach.
But it's not a good idea to just leave this passage alone, as it's easy for a few Nine Nether Demons to escape. If one or two of them escape, it will be a serious problem.
However, this problem is not completely unsolvable. If her cultivation is high enough, she can open up a small world here and make it a special copy.
But her current cultivation level is limited, so for the time being she can only set up an illusion and trap the demons coming out of the passage in the illusion. This way, players can also enter the illusion and kill the demons, thus disguising the function of the copy for the time being.
Moreover, compared to opening up a small world, although the illusion has a certain possibility of being broken, it can superimpose multiple existences at the same time. In other words, it can allow many players to enter different illusions "CD" at the same time, which can be regarded as a perfect disguise of the game copy.
