Chapter 87 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Part 8)
What terrible luck! Lie Jiu Qinghan clenched his fists, his face pale as hell.
He took a sparkling sapphire from his breast pocket and quickly smashed it on the ground!
At the same time, several veteran members of the Shengxing Guild followed the direction indicated by the sapphire, some flying and some running towards them!
Stellar Games truly defies convention. Normally, new players have a grace period for leveling up, but Stellar Games is different—
The story has already reached a minor climax right after the public beta launch!
But isn't that what makes it even more exciting to conquer?! The strong liquor, cold and aloof, fueled his ambition, unaware that Si Yisi was thoughtfully staring at the shattered "sapphire."
If we take that thing with us, can we collectively hunt down important members of the Shengxing Guild?
Si Yisi felt that the possibility was very high!
"Give it a try?" He lightly tapped his little finger with his thumb, making a thinking gesture.
For some reason, Lie Jiu Qing Han felt a chill run through his body. He looked around warily, then picked the most suitable deserter to control and forcefully made him take him to the location where the dark creatures were attacking the city!
The fleeing soldier struggled, pleading, "Please, Viscount... I'll die, I'll really die!"
Despite the strong liquor's chill, he remained unmoved and explained to Si Yisi, "They're just NPCs."
Si Yisi glanced at the helpless soldier, her eyes deep.
They're just NPCs? But actually, you players are just... fake people to me too.
From the moment Si Yisi became Luo Xinxiu's game character, she immersed herself in the role.
Therefore, the arrogance of the strong liquor and the cold wine, which seemed to be above NPCs and superior to others, meant nothing to Si Yisi.
"Hua Mo, just wait here quietly. Before long you will witness the triumphant return of our Shengxing Guild!"
Not only Shengxing Guild, where Liejiu Qinghan was located, was eager to make a name for itself in this battle, but many other competitive guilds rushed to the battlefield where the dark creature first attacked!
"Clear out the low-level players around here, don't let them cause trouble!"
Many guilds have aggressively driven away unaffiliated players who were leveling up in the vicinity! They all had the idea of getting a share of the profits, and the unaffiliated players complained incessantly, as they were not taken seriously from the very beginning!
"Non-guild players who don't want to die and be hunted down, leave immediately!"
A male player spotted Si Yisi and immediately tried to force him away.
Before the male player could even touch Si Yisi, he saw a figure disappear before his eyes, seemingly faster than the wind. Upon closer inspection... the low-level elf player in front of him had vanished without a trace!
The center of the human royal city.
This place is a prime target for dark creatures, but it's not as dangerous as outsiders might imagine.
The magnificent palace was filled with a deathly silence, from which a hoarse voice finally emerged.
Why would those dark creatures attack human territory so quickly?
"Don't worry, we'll ultimately benefit the most from their fighting! The death of the dark creatures is good for us, and the human soldiers being killed and transformed into dark creatures will provide us with a new resource!"
"Everything they've done is just a stepping stone for us... What a Dark Lord, he's nothing but a clown!"
The voice drifted over, and the palace fell silent once more.
The area around the imperial city has become a battlefield shrouded in smoke, with dark creatures seemingly emerging endlessly from the cracks in the ground, gathering into a massive army!
This dark army was entrenched around the imperial city. Apart from the outermost layer of dark creatures attacking the soldiers, the inner layer of dark creatures maintained an unusual silence!
The players also unconsciously maintained an almost deathly silence, because they had all managed to glimpse the end of that army in the distance through various means—
There stood a fallen elf named Freya!
She was like a blooming, alluring black rose, surrounded by thorny brambles. That wicked appearance was a stark contrast to how she acted when facing Si Yisi!
The Shengxing Guild, where Liejiu Qinghan was located, occupied a very advantageous position. Their location was far from the large army of dark creatures, but infinitely close to Freya, the fallen elf!
Si Yisi stealthily crept behind the Shengxing Guild members; the cufflinks that concealed their presence were very useful…
Even the players can't figure it out.
Freya was a great help.
Si Yisi watched as Lie Jiu Qinghan's body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from excitement.
The ordinary members of Shengxing Guild did their best to maintain order, while players of seven different races, including Liejiu Qinghan, stood in a formation that was easy to defend!
Not far away, Freya stood with haughty eyes, gazing at the gathered players, feeling a sense of utter disgust for no apparent reason.
The aura of these people... something's not right!
She joined her five fingers together like a knife, decisively giving the dark creatures an order, then looked into the distance towards Si Yisi's location.
--attack!
"Why is that female boss looking this way?" Sun Muping, an orc player from the Shengxing Guild, asked with a laugh. "Could it be that she thinks our guild is a threat to her?!"
These words were undoubtedly a morale booster!
Many guild members believed it, and they looked at these top players in their eyes with longing. For a time, the cohesion of Shengxing Guild members was stronger than ever before!
This also creates an invisible pressure: if you win, everything will be fine, and Shengxing will become famous in one battle!
A defeat... it's obvious that morale will plummet.
Of course, Si Yisi knew who Freya was looking at. The sleeve that concealed her presence was given to her by Freya, so she could naturally sense her presence.
As for the strong self-confidence of the Shengxing Guild... Si Yisi neither said it was good nor bad.
However, one thing is certain: Si Yisi, this demon king, is an enemy of the world!
Players are just one of the many threats!
Luo Xinxiu looked at the Shengxing Guild and hesitated before asking Si Yisi, "You... are you going to make a move?"
Even though Si Yisi currently appears as a silver-haired, purple-eyed elf and still has the identity of a player, no one would easily associate him with the Dark King.
But what if? After all, Si Yisi's androgynous temperament is truly quite unique!
Even when he was wearing a dress, he possessed a unique charm that transcended gender, a kind of allure that defied masculinity.
"Don't worry." With that, Si Yisi put on a red ghost mask with hideous fangs, and then wrapped himself up tightly in a black robe.
Perhaps only Freya recognized him.
However… Si Yisi looked thoughtfully at Freya.
Just as Si Yisi finished doing all this, the battle officially began! The Shengxing Guild was the first to charge forward, ignoring the dark creature minions and determined to fight the boss as soon as possible!
In the general perception of all players, the initial boss is not very difficult.
The core members of guilds like Shengxing Guild possess extremely rare green equipment, which is more than enough to fight bosses!
"Warrior, go in! Block the boss and don't let her escape! Priest, stay behind and keep healing her, don't let her health drop to the danger zone!"
Liejiu Qinghan quickly gave the order, and the seven well-trained players quickly pushed aside other players who wanted to take priority positions and occupied the area around Freya!
Freya's brow furrowed even more as she saw the players. A barrage of attacks exploded into dazzling fireworks, a spectacle that dazzled the eyes and fueled their fighting spirit even more!
Si Yisi also made his move. Like a stealthy ghost, he silently appeared next to a player, much to Luo Xinxiu's surprise and longing.
Si Yisi made her move before the player could even react, when a blurry image still lingered in his cornea!
A few specks of eerie green light struck the player's heart, one strike—death! Si Yisi's movement techniques were completely different from his fighting style; he didn't seem like an assassin, but rather like a... berserker!
But the shock this caused Luo Xinxiu did not diminish in the slightest. The agile figure and violent methods of attack were executed flawlessly and seamlessly by Si Yisi!
"Holy crap!" The player who died with his eyes wide open slunk up from the respawn point.
He was incredibly frustrated and desperately wanted to get revenge on the guy who killed him!
But the player, whose heart had been struck by this attack, rested his chin on his hand and tried to recall the scene carefully. All he could remember was a fleeting glimpse of a hideous mask, and…
A hem of a skirt?
Freya exclaimed in surprise, her gaze subtly shifting to Si Yisi, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
Wang…likes fighting? Then she—
The boss, Liejiu Qinghan, is not without ulterior motives; his primary goal is not simply to kill the female boss and collect the dropped resources.
Strong liquor and a chilly palate need to be even crazier...
He discovered a scroll in a secluded place, which contained a forbidden method that allowed him to take any living being as his companion without any restrictions!
Players generally believe that familiars are mainly beast-shaped, but if they have the opportunity to acquire a human-shaped familiar, no one would refuse such a temptation.
Liejiu Qinghan wanted to use this forbidden scroll to turn Freya into his own pet!
She is beautiful and powerful. Even if she is a virtual boss, it doesn't stop Liejiu Qinghan from wanting to pluck her.
Of course, Liejiu Qinghan had no intention of doing anything to Freya, who might become his favorite.
In his view, fame and fortune far outweigh beauty.
Moreover, if Freya were truly provoked, Liejiu Qinghan suspected that even with the restrictions of the forbidden scroll, Freya would still find a way to rebel!
You can't calculate a boss's actions using common sense!
Freya felt disgusted by the cold, icy gaze of the liquor, and just then, the liquor finally found an opportunity to get close!
The mage, Liejiu Qinghan, swiftly approached Freya and then threw out a scroll.
The scroll glowed, forming a massive magic circle beneath Freya's feet! A barrier rose out of thin air around the magic circle, rapidly shrinking towards Freya at its center, seemingly trying to completely suppress her within it!
“This is…” Freya was stunned for a moment, and then took the glowing scroll, which engulfed her in a sea of light.
It's done!
The strong liquor was cool and refreshing, and he was secretly delighted. Although he was sent flying by Freya's powerful palm strike, it couldn't diminish his joy at the success of the deal!
Si Yisi temporarily halted his silent attack—he looked towards Freya's direction.
He frowned.
