Chapter 29
The train derailed one kilometer earlier than expected.
It’s only one kilometer. By using movement skills, even a bronze player can reach the destination within three minutes.
After a moment of shock, Vice President Garr ordered in the team chat: [Everyone move out!]
Ali turned into a stream of light and rushed to the front.
His weapon, the Qingwu Silver Wind Mace, comes with a movement skill that is much faster than the "Gas Step" of other members.
A dark shadow appeared in the air ahead, and the flickering firelight revealed a body split in half.
No——it's an SS-rank ghoul!
Yali saw the mission details pop up on the screen.
Flesh and blood exploded from the corpse, but instead of falling to the ground, it enveloped the ghoul like a living being, forming a blood ball. Just as the blood ball was about to touch the ground, it suddenly rose, countless red lights flickering on its surface.
Explode again!
A pair of huge wings suddenly spread out, with an amazing wingspan!
Between the wings was a creature, neither human nor inhuman, its body curled up, its arms immensely long. Its skin seemed to have been stripped away, and bits of flesh and blood swirled around its surface, constantly dissolving and gluing together, leaving a faint mist lingering around it.
It let out a howl of extreme anger.
On the ground, the ghouls chasing the surviving passengers paused and roared.
Ali's eyes suddenly became fanatical.
SS-level crazy ghoul, and its disciples!
By killing them and taking their experience, he would undoubtedly break through the barrier in one step and become a super god, or even become a legend!
But, it was an SS-rank ghoul after all. Ali didn't let his guard down, nor did he let his excitement get the better of him.
He landed on the ground, sweeping the Silver Wind Mace up and down.
A barrier shone faintly silvery, appearing on either side of his body. Some of his companions, who were coming from behind, couldn't stop their cars and crashed into the barrier, their heads bleeding.
"It's mine!" cried Ali.
Vice President Gar stopped behind him, took in the situation, and gritted his teeth: "Yali! We're too close to the city wall here, we haven't formed an encirclement yet!"
"I don't care how you arrange your troops." Ali didn't take his words to heart at all.
The vice president regretted for the umpteenth time agreeing to let this guy replace Witt, but his title of "president" only meant a high administrative level, and in terms of strength, he could not stop Ali at all.
The command can only be issued in the channel: [Groups 2 to 10, surround on both sides! ]
The train was only a hundred meters long, so it wouldn't take long to outflank it. Soon, a large number of figures appeared in the darkness ahead. The vice president was about to breathe a sigh of relief when an urgent report suddenly came through the team chat.
——【Oli is here! They grabbed the spot!】
Oli?
The vice president blinked hard and looked off into the distance. Those densely packed figures, were they all Ouli's people?!
It's true that Sub-District 8 is Ouli's territory, but the nearest Zhongsu branch is nearly ten kilometers away. How could they possibly get here so quickly?!
Before he could figure out what was happening, the Oli players at the forefront had already entered the battlefield. The surviving passengers saw their savior and scattered in all directions.
But the brief delay was enough for the SS-level ghoul to complete its transformation.
Its bent body suddenly unfolded, like a blood-red giant flying into the sky. The red mist of flesh and blood surrounding its body turned into rain arrows and sprinkled onto the earth!
Both charging and fleeing players are frozen in place.
Eerie silence.
The vice president was stunned, watching the number of ghouls on the screen jump from [134] to [352!]
Almost tripled!
The mission level, after a brief delay, was further raised from [SS] to [SSS]!
Second only to the ultimate mission!
It's over, an SSS-level ghoul tide, whether it's Gar or Oli, all the players present are potential ghouls. Once they can't be controlled, the walls of Lengbing City will be broken!
The Dragon Flame Guild would undoubtedly investigate a disaster of this magnitude. Once the truth came to light, it would become more than just a battle for supremacy in the game; it would also spark a real-world conflict between nations.
"Yali!" the vice president yelled.
These high-level players, these players standing at the top of the gaming pyramid, have no overall perspective at all! Everything they do is for themselves, for the so-called level and ultimate goal!
Ali's expression remained calm, and he even chuckled.
"I see. Leave the big boss to me, and you guys can handle the rest as you please."
The Silver Wind Mace's light faded, and the barrier vanished. Ali transformed into a meteor, shooting straight towards the Blood-Winged Ghoul.
The silver meteor crashed into the blood-red meteorite.
Gar, Oli, and over ten thousand players dared not move. Before Ali could completely contain the Bloodwing Ghoul, no one dared to risk losing their game qualification and step onto the battlefield.
Except for one man - or rather, a sword.
A massive, pitch-black Western-style heavy sword. The Oli camp quickly cleared a small area to give it enough space. After a few swings, it relied on its immense inertia to soar high into the air, carrying the man holding the hilt with it!
Xifeng Kuang, a top player of the Oli Guild, ranks 42nd on the Destiny List, only 5 places lower than Yali.
Both sides knew this was a high-level mission and had deployed the highest-level players they could muster. Who would emerge victorious, or perhaps both would be slain by the eagle's eye—it remained uncertain.
The blood-winged ghoul let out a deafening howl, its two giant wings whipping up a foul-smelling gust of wind. However, Ali and Zephyr were unaffected and arrived almost simultaneously.
The skills of the Silver Wind Mace and the heavy sword hit the Blood-Winged Ghoul at the same time, and the light of the skills illuminated half of the night sky.
The head-and-body separation didn't happen as expected. The light in the sky seemed to have hit a black hole, instantly extinguishing itself. A ghost and two players vanished without a trace.
The players on the ground didn't hesitate, after all, the mission details they had seen clearly stated that this ghoul boss possessed two ghost arts, one of which was called "Void," a skill that was clearly related to movement.
He appeared somewhere with Ali and Xifeng Kuang.
Next, they should focus on the battlefield—a horde of over three hundred ghouls. Simply staying on the battlefield would allow them to gain a lot of experience and even pick up a lot of gold coins and items during the chaos.
After all, strangling ghouls and player deaths will both result in gold coins.
In the blink of an eye, the scene was in utter chaos, with a dazzling display of weapons and skills. Many ghouls were strangled by the onslaught of skills, and many players had their souls devoured by the onslaught of ghouls.
There are even some high-level players with no bottom line who take advantage of the chaos to kill both ghouls and players.
After all, if a player is possessed by a ghoul, it's difficult to tell immediately, and no one can investigate whether or not this violated the guild agreement.
Paopao couldn't help but shrink back behind the bridge pillar.
They were somewhat thankful that Qin Wudi and his group had died early. Otherwise, they would be a temporary team of 12, infiltrating the Gar Guild camp, fighting against hundreds of ghouls while also worrying about being ambushed by other players.
He is just a bronze rank, even if he is extremely lucky, he may not be able to escape alive.
"Boss, let's go, let's go?" Paopao said to Anrou in a low voice.
Only then did he discover An Rou's abnormality.
She stood straight, her face raised at a forty-five degree angle, the inky black sky reflected in her eyes, motionless.
"Boss? What's wrong with you?!"
Paopao's heart skipped a beat. If anything happened to Anrou, he wouldn't be able to control Baofu on his own. Furthermore, since Baofu was also an SS-rank ghoul, he might be attacked as well.
Suddenly, An Rou spoke up: "Stay still and don't move."
An Rou's gaze was directed somewhere far away in an unknown direction. To be more precise, her sight was led to the distance by the blood-winged ghoul.
The moment she discovered the blood-winged ghoul's mad transformation, An Rou immediately called back Bao Fu. After Bao Fu used the "pseudo-hiding" ghost technique to withdraw to her side, she immediately connected with the blood-winged ghoul's consciousness.
The reason was simple – she wanted it.
There are as many ghouls as there are people who are as powerful as those who are suddenly rich!
An Rou's golden finger for communicating with ghouls' consciousness was more effective against ghouls that had gone berserk. After the blood-winged ghoul's berserk transformation, it truly hadn't spoken a single human word. The only sound An Rou caught in the air was the one she was tired of hearing—"I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry..."
It had intelligence, and An Rou still respected it. But now that it had lost its intelligence, wasn't it just a dog waiting to be tamed?
The field of vision was filled with a strange dark green background, like a thermal imaging night vision device. The ghoul had also lost its human vision due to its rapid transformation.
There was a sound of rustling branches and leaves. Suddenly, vertical strips of bright green appeared all around. They must be trees.
The blood-winged ghoul entered a dense forest.
An Rou really wanted to know if the two high-level players had followed her, but unfortunately she could only passively "receive" the sound and vision and could not control the ghoul's actions.
[I can feed you, keep you well fed and warm, and make you obedient...]
She kept trying to communicate with him through her mind, but it had the opposite effect. The ghoul roared furiously, its bloody wings flapping, slicing through tree after tree.
Is it because the other party is in a manic state?
But a crazy ghoul is just a manic one, with the only instinct to devour souls.
Or maybe it's too high a level, making it difficult for me to establish a stable spiritual connection?
An Rou was thinking when the light from the trees around her suddenly became bright.
The blood-winged ghoul stopped, and after its vision swayed left and right, it stopped on the treetops at an upward angle.
Above the emerald green treetops, there was a bright green light—it was a person!
Someone is catching up!
An Rou subconsciously guessed which of the two high-level players it was, and that person suddenly spoke.
"You've been following me for so long, and you don't even come out to see this treasure? If you're even a second late, you might not be able to see it."
As the words came out, another extremely bright light descended from the sky. The light was straight, and around it were flashing hard lines like lightning, like a bolt of lightning.
It didn't land on the ground, but stopped right in front of the ghoul.
They were so close, so close that An Rou could clearly see the outline of his face. Narrow face, high nose bridge, high brow bones, and a firm chin - even though this face was emitting a creepy green light, it could be seen that he was very handsome.
A living person appeared in front of it, and the blood-winged ghoul was immediately enraged, howling and flapping its wings.
Faced with a ghoul of such a high level, the man did not dodge or evade, but simply raised his hand slightly to block it.
Due to her limited vision, An Rou couldn't see the opponent's weapon clearly. But the power was obvious - half of the ghoul's wing was cut off, as easy as cutting tofu.
Even the ghoul's vision lowered incredibly to see the half wing falling below.
An Rou finally saw the weapon in the man's hand: a sword.
It wasn't the broadsword of one of the two masters. The blade was long and narrow, and judging by its shape, it looked like an ordinary longsword.
An Rou subconsciously tightened the Seven Souls Sword in her hand.
The long sword in the opponent's hand must be of a high level. It is either a top-level purple weapon or a second-level blue weapon.
Just like the opponent's level, easily cutting off the wings of an SS-rank ghoul... at least he's super-god-like, right?!
The figure in the treetops spoke again, with a hint of a smile: "Chumo, since you've already drawn your sword, why don't you just kill it? What if this time, you can be promoted to Legend?"
