Chapter 86
The post about the Orli Guild robbing NPCs has been pushed to the top of the forum homepage.
The mighty Oli branch mobilized its entire forces to raid an NPC's home. Unable to bear the humiliation, the NPC offered a million-dollar reward to outside players for their protection. Not only did the players believe it, they also assembled thousands of troops to confront Oli...
Bizarre, funny, and inexplicably passionate.
Late at night, even many players who had been offline for a rest came online to inquire about the situation, watching the threads for follow-up. Following the "Special Address, Special NPC" incident, the forum was once again abuzz with activity.
However, millions of people have been waiting for no follow-up.
The spectators began to split. Some slammed the table in anger, saying that the original poster and a group of perjured witnesses were making fun of them. Some suspected that the foreign legions had started a fight with the local guild legions, and the people on the scene had no energy to broadcast the live broadcast. Some people were eager to teleport to Zhongsu Town to see what was going on.
When the argument got heated, the host came back.
[1256281L (OP): Urgent! A massive ghoul wave has arrived in Nakasu!]
[1256283L (Original Poster): This is miserable, this is so fucking miserable, it's like hell on earth! I lost an orange weapon and almost lost my life!]
He guessed that no one would believe him, so he just threw the task details at him.
The sheer number of over 3,000 ghouls had the entire forum in a state of shock. Even the posts seemed to be stuck, with no replies being refreshed.
After a moment of silence, replies burst out like a flash flood.
[Impossible...]
[This is crazy! I've never encountered a ghoul wave of this magnitude in all my years playing...]
[So, Oli dispatched the army for a high-level mission? ?]
[Oh my god! Oli is making a ton of money!!!]
[What the hell, you're making money? You've forgotten the ban! All players in Zhongsu Town have their Life points cut in half! If you're below Gold, you're going to die!]
[Wait! Didn't the OP say the NPC was offering a bounty? Why is there a sudden surge of ghouls?!]
[Where is the OP? Why is he gone again? ? ?]
[My destiny has been cut in half and I'm plagued by bad luck. I feel like this is a bad omen for the OP...]
[Even with the ban, Oli must control the ghoul tide in his territory, otherwise the mission will be snatched away by Long Yangal!]
[In short, Zhongsu Town has gone crazy. Even if Ouli's losses are huge, they're still making a lot of money! I wonder how many high-level players will emerge from this wave!]
Oli is indeed crazy, but unfortunately he is not crazy about making money, but crazy about anger.
Level 1 area, Ouli Headquarters Hall.
The vice president's face turned pale: "Have you asked clearly?!"
A member went offline and then back online, rushing in: "Vice President, I've contacted Minister Liming. He... asked me to pass on a message."
"What are you talking about?" Seeing the member hesitant, the vice president slammed the table and said, "Speak up!"
Member: "Minister Liming said, as you wish, I have nothing to do with the game from now on, please do not... disturb me."
The vice president's face froze, but before he could get angry, an old man next to him stood up suddenly, even angrier than him.
——Huaiyin Branch Chief, Morita.
"Send someone to arrest him and torture him severely!"
This statement only made the Vice President suppress his anger and frown. Old Man Morita's style was truly overly repressive. But he was one of the first veterans in the country to enter the game, and he played an invaluable role in the formation of the guild.
The vice president asked the members: "Did Liming lose his qualification?"
"Yes."
The vice president frowned in thought, "So the old man has completed his work?"
Finding a mission, luring Minister Liming in and using the ghoul's hand to kill him - this was the old man's mission this time. I thought it would take at least a few days, but I didn't expect him to be so efficient.
Super God is Super God.
Morita glared at the members: "Why didn't that old guy report it?! Killing Dawn, the outbreak of the ghoul wave, no matter which task, he should have reported it immediately. How could he not even respond to the call! "
It's as if the members are treated as old friends.
The old man reported directly to the headquarters, while Morita was just one of the 28 branch directors, yet he acted more superior than the vice president, which made the vice president even more unhappy.
The vice president couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Besides work, top players only care about the ultimate goal. Isn't it the same for the ruler?"
Morita's eyebrows twitched and he was about to explode, but he was interrupted by the members' report.
Member: "Vice President, all the branches around Zhongsu Town have requested support. What do you think?"
"No!" Morita said again, "Let's go to the Huaiyin branch."
The vice president looked disapproving. Zhongsu Town was in the Lower 8th District, while the Huaiyin branch was in the Lower 9th District, right next to the First District. The distance was too far. In terms of support, how could they be as fast as the branches around Zhongsu?
This old man wants to steal the mission.
Morita was an experienced man. He saw through the vice president's attitude at a glance and calmed down.
"Vice President, the loss of the train station is the responsibility..."
The vice president was startled and had to nod. "Leave the support to Huaiyin. Other branches... prepare your personnel and stay on standby."
Morita was still not satisfied: "Also, inform the old guys to just block and wait and see, and not to take any action until Huaiyin's support arrives!"
-
The old man glanced at the message on the screen and curled his lips in disdain.
Dawn Darkness has completely gone offline, and the shameful conspiracy has not stained his hands. Next, it is his own mission.
Since the entire Zhongxu branch was a waste, why not use them and let him ascend to Legend in one fell swoop? The Ghoul Nest Xue, which was originally only SS-level, has been successfully upgraded to SSS as its scale continues to expand.
However, it was not yet time for him to take action.
The mission boss, the SS-rank ghoul that had been lurking deep from the start, hadn't appeared yet. The one Tang Lang was fighting was only an A-rank ghoul, and no matter how powerful it was, an A-rank was still an A-rank.
The experience of strangling it was not enough for him to break through the bottleneck.
It would be better to let it die at Tang Lang's hands and force out the BOSS.
Judging from the battle situation, it’s almost over.
-
An Rou looked solemn.
Normally, an A-rank ghoul wouldn't stand a chance against a top-tier player. But Wang Da said they could give it a try, so she let him. To be on the safe side, she suggested a strategy of attrition. After all, with thousands of players around, the supply was practically inexhaustible.
Tang Lang, on the other hand, was a level 71, beginner level Great God, with a fixed energy bar of 3510. He was holding a high-level weapon with a high energy consumption, so it would be depleted quickly. Even if he had energy potions in his inventory, the replenishment rate wouldn't keep up with the consumption.
At first, the situation was just as An Rou had imagined. As he continued to devour souls, Wang Da's movement speed increased instead of decreased. The intervals between the Punishing Blade skills became shorter and shorter, and it became easier and easier for him to deal with Tang Lang's attacks.
It wasn't until Tang Lang took out the blue energy potion that his momentum increased sharply!
Low- to mid-level potions couldn't possibly achieve that effect; it had to be high-level potions. He actually had quite a few high-level energy potions with him!
Advanced energy potion, priced at 10,000 gold, can instantly restore 50% of the maximum energy value, and the recovery effect will be doubled within five minutes after taking it.
The scary thing is, Tang Lang wasn't satisfied with just one bottle, he drank three in a row! He was stacking the recovery effects!
An Rou sensed something was wrong: [Wang Da, keep your distance!]
Wang Da retreated in response, but it was too late.
Tang Lang swung his arms, and countless fire needles came out of his bag. Countless slender red rays sprinkled into the night sky, crisscrossing at an unprecedented speed.
None of the fire needles attacked Wang Da. They flew over Wang Da's head, then suddenly turned and fell to the ground.
The scorching hot air exploded!
An Rou's vision shifted. The darkness and the flames vanished, and the world was enveloped in a fiery crimson. Through Wang Da's touch, she could sense the ground beneath her feet rapidly softening. Wang Da looked down and saw streams of magma gushing from the black earth, winding like streams.
Like the remains of a volcanic eruption.
"Run, run, Wang Da was pulled into a strange space by Tang Lang, what is that?!"
Paopao was startled and said quickly, "It's a high-level weapon space! High-level weapons all have a skill that allows the user to pull people around them into an independent space, doubling the attack power of the space owner!"
An Rou suddenly recalled that when she teamed up with Qin Wudi to attack Chiqian Yiming, she was also pulled into a completely dark world. So it turned out to be a high-level martial arts space?
This is bad!
Tang Lang used advanced energy potions to break the war of attrition. Now he has no shortage of energy and his attack power has doubled. What else can Wang Da use to fight?
The situation was worse than An Rou had expected.
The volcanic space activated by Tang Lang was quite large, and not only Wang Da, but many people around were also enveloped by it. An Rou originally thought that Wang Da could rely on these players to replenish his energy and then find a way to break the deadlock, but unexpectedly, Tang Lang fired another fire needle and killed those players first!
She saw clearly that most of those people had the emblem of the Yinlai Guild on their heads!
This man is cruel and decisive enough!
Tang Lang raised his hand, and three more energy potions appeared in his palm. He sneered, "If you have the guts, will you waste more?"
Wang Da's gaze swept over the player's corpse. Regardless of the disadvantages he faced, his composure seemed to be his underlying quality.
It smiled and said, "The supply has been cut off, but help has been sent."
Tang Lang glanced around. A dozen or so living dead and madly transformed ghouls suddenly lost their opponents and were momentarily bewildered. He scoffed, "Just them?"
Before he finished speaking, a bunch of fire needles scattered in all directions.
Wang Da nodded: "Just rely on them."
The ghouls roared, jumped or ran, and actually avoided the attack of the fire needles and pounced on Tang Lang.
A hint of surprise flashed across Tang Lang's eyes: These low-level C-rank ghouls were actually all derived from it?!
His reaction was just a little surprise.
Tang Lang leaped, easily escaping the ghouls' encirclement. From his high vantage point, he unleashed a barrage of fire needles. The ghouls were unable to evade the attack, and were struck one after another. High-level weapons dealt extremely high damage, and the damage value was doubled within the space, nearly killing anyone who touched them.
The wildly transformed ghoul explodes as a reward, while the other living dead begin to transform wildly.
Tang Lang's mind moved, and most of his energy was converted into Fire Needles, filling the needle bag in the prop column. Dozens more Fire Needles appeared between his fingers, and just as he was about to kill the ghouls in their frenzy, the sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Punishment Knife, the ultimate skill, the knife of death.
This skill had the rudiments of a high-level martial arts space, causing Tang Lang's eyes to go dark for a moment. However, being in his high-level martial arts space, the darkness only lasted for a moment.
The light of the fire reflected on the water, coming from all directions.
The berserk ghouls below were the first to suffer, being cut into thin slices by the omnipresent penalty knives. The strangulation rewards of several ghouls exploded at the same time, shining with golden light.
But a beam of light expanded rapidly in the golden light, swallowing up all the gold coins in the sky in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the bright light faded. Shreds of clothing flew everywhere, and Tang Lang, without his outer layer, was now revealed in a suit of silver-white armor.
"You are quite capable to force me to activate my armor." He held three bottles of energy potions in his hand, all of which were empty.
Most of the depleted energy was instantly restored.
"But that's all!"
Tang Lang turned into a ray of silver light and rushed towards Wang Da.
The Great Blade consumed a lot of energy. Although Wang Da, a ghoul, didn't have an energy value, the principle was the same. Without any player souls to replenish his energy within the high-level martial arts space, he couldn't even dodge Tang Lang's attack.
If Wang Daruo dies, no ghost in the entire farm can stop Tang Lang!
The situation was critical. An Rou didn't even have time to cut off her consciousness. She subconsciously shouted in her head: [Open wide!]
Suddenly, another picture unfolded in her mind, overlapping with Wang Da's vision.
She actually connected Wang Da and Zhang Da's consciousness at the same time!
The two pictures were like two flat-screen TVs that had fallen together, but An Rou didn't feel confused at all. She could clearly tell who saw what.
An Rou didn't have time to investigate: [Support Wang Da!]
A figure rushed into the high-level martial arts space with brute force, his whole body on fire, but without making a sound, he rushed straight towards Tang Lang from the side, forcing Tang Lang to change direction and give up chasing Wang Da.
Tang Lang frowned.
Zhang Da rolled on the ground, extinguishing the flames. The high-level martial arts space had an invisible barrier, and the attack from that barrier, combined with the weapon's own effects, completely burned his clothes. Although the flames were extinguished in time, the entire ghost was like a stick pulled out of a fire, covered in burn marks.
Tang Lang withdrew his gaze and looked at the light screen.
B-class? Could it be that this A-class was also derived from this one, so it rushed to the rescue?
"No, Zhang Da is also in poor condition. Even if he joins forces with Wang Da, they won't be able to hold out for long. Run!" The immense mental pressure caused An Rou's nose to bleed, but she didn't bother to wipe it. "Is there any way to break through the high-level martial arts space?!"
Of course there are ways: more powerful skills, more powerful attacks.
But looking throughout the entire farm, who is stronger than Tang Lang?
—Only sudden wealth. But sudden wealth is still dormant. Despite all the commotion on earth, it shows no sign of awakening!
Paopao was sweating profusely, and his body suddenly stopped: "Yes! Leave it to me!"
He used all his strength to perform the Wind Step, rushed out of the bungalow, and headed straight for the high-level martial arts space. The high-level martial arts space was outside the farm, and he needed to cross half of the farm. The farm was full of players and ghouls, and it was in chaos.
A berserk ghoul lay on the ground, its stomach ripped open. Its intestines spilled onto the ground like vines, quietly wrapping around a player's leg and pulling back with force. The player let out a scream as their uncontrolled body abruptly stopped.
Paopao cut off the ghoul's intestines with a shovel.
"Thanks, buddy!"
Paopao pulled him up: "Come with me, I know where it's safe!"
In just a few hundred meters, a group of players quickly gathered behind him and rushed out of the farm wall.
The ghoul tide had already spread, and the world outside the farm was also a world of fighting. Because there were many players, the ghouls were even more dense.
However, there was an area the size of a basketball court that was empty, with only two or three people.
High-level martial arts space.
People are outside the space and cannot see the illusion of volcanoes and magma inside, but they can see the people inside clearly.
Paopao pointed there and said, "That's Mantis, the leader of the Yinlai Guild. Great God! Everyone, gather together and break out!"
Players who knew Tang Lang were delighted, while those who didn't were hesitant.
"Really a great god?"
"Yes, I recognize you. I'm Ou Li, and we were brought here by Tang Lang!"
Since all the members of Ouli had said so, no one doubted it anymore. They all activated their weapon skills to clear away the ghoul obstacles and rushed forward.
The leader, Paopao, quietly broke away from the crowd.
-
"It's time to end it."
In the darkness, the old ones whispered.
His eyes suddenly narrowed, and a dim blue light appeared.
strangeness.
On the distant battlefield, something unexpected happened. A group of players gathered together, and for some unknown reason, they all rushed towards Tang Lang.
At a glance, there are more than a hundred people, the size of a small legion.
They... don't know that that is Tang Lang's high-level martial arts space?
Just as the two ghouls were struggling and about to die at Tang Lang's hands, the group of players suddenly rushed into the space, causing Tang Lang to stop moving.
The first group of people who arrived were instantly burned by the invisible barrier and screamed, covering their faces. However, the people behind them were unable to react and continued to push the front ones in.
A large number of souls were sent to the ghoul's mouth.
Without hesitation, Wang Da and Zhang Da charged into the flock of sheep like two hungry wolves. The sheep had been attacked by the barrier first, and were completely unable to resist.
One after another, bursts of light exploded.
Tang Lang was so angry that he was fuming. He shouted, "Get out of here!"
Continue to shoot out fire needles to chase the ghoul.
However, Wang Dazhangda took advantage of the crowd's shelter and not only escaped unscathed, but his speed increased dramatically due to the large amount of energy he replenished.
Tang Lang's molars were grinding with a creaking sound.
Being forced out of the High-Martial Space by a mere A-rank ghoul was already embarrassing for him. The High-Martial Space had a limited duration, and just as time was running out, a group of blind troublemakers rushed in!
It seems that I will never have the chance to defeat the SS-level BOSS in this ghoul tide.
Tang Lang had no choice but to accept this reality, drink the last bottle of advanced energy potion, and fill the needle bag.
Lihuozhen, the ultimate skill, sets the field on fire!
Countless fire needles swarmed out and penetrated the barrier at the top of the space. The previously empty top suddenly became a cloud of fire, blazing fiercely.
A huge rain of fire fell from the sky.
Lihuozhen is a high-level martial art, and injuries sustained by high-level martial artists are difficult to heal with potions. Most of the players who broke through the barrier and escaped into the space had violated the rules with their faces, destined to be disfigured. But they could never have imagined that the great savior they thought they had found was actually a demon.
"Life points have been cut in half, and bad luck is everywhere..."
The players watched the fire rain pouring down on their heads, and finally remembered this wise saying from the Soul Realm.
He didn't even bother to hide from the ghouls.
After enduring the baptism of high-level martial arts skills, even if you survive, you will only be broken limbs, how much better than a cripple? Rather than watching others get rich, it is better to give up the game qualification.
This rain of fire was originally Tang Lang's ultimate move reserved for the ghoul boss.
The moment the fire cloud appeared, Wang Da stopped. He smelled an extremely dangerous scent.
It looked towards Zhang Da.
Ghouls injured by high-level warriors also bear scars. After devouring a wave of souls, Zhang Da's burns have healed on their own, but dark red scars still cover his body.
"How many more do you want?" Wang Da asked.
Zhang Da kept a straight face as always: "The last one."
"As it happens, I should be too."
The two ghosts reached out their hands at the same time, each pressing down on the top of a player's head.
At the same time, a huge rain of fire fell.
A brilliant orange-red light illuminated the entire battlefield. All players, even the ghouls, froze.
On the ground, the players howled in terror. They had no idea what was happening, why they were flying. From below, they were facing the flames of death.
The bodies of dozens of players were combined into a huge shield by an invisible strange force, flying into the air and blocking the rain of fire!
None of the players had time to scream.
The ultimate skills of master players and advanced weapons, and the doubled attack power of high-level weapon space, will instantly reduce their health points to zero!
They all turned into corpses!
Under the corpse's shield, Wang Da stood with his hands hanging down, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Tang Lang.
"It's my turn to fight back," it smiled.
Tang Lang was stunned. The light screen in front of him told him that this A-level ghoul had been upgraded to S just a few seconds ago!
And that’s not all.
There was a sharp sound of metal breaking through the air in my ears.
A black whip shadow sank into the rain of fire, from bottom to top, from far to near, and as the shadow drew an arc of light, sparks flew across the space barrier.
boom!
The high-level martial arts space collapsed into a blanket of sparks.
The whip shadow did not stop yet, it passed behind Tang Lang and suddenly turned in the opposite direction!
It's not a long whip, but a sickle with a scimitar attached!
In an instant, Tang Lang followed the chain of the sickle and locked onto its owner.
——The former B-rank ghoul, now A-rank!
These two ghouls actually upgraded at the same time!
The idea of quitting began to arise in Tang Lang's heart.
From strangling the SS-level ghoul boss, to strangling the difficult A-level ghoul in front of him, to leaving empty-handed now... he had no choice.
His intuition told him that it was dangerous. This place, these two ghouls, and this ghoul tide were far more dangerous than anyone could have imagined!
Tang Lang wasn't the only one to change his mind.
The old man's eyes glowed with a dark blue light, and he took in all the changes on the battlefield.
S-class ghoul?
Good, very good.
-
In the central hall of the bungalow, An Rou did not relax at all.
[Wang Da, Tang Lang is trying to run away!]
In his vision, Tang Lang activated his armor defense and withstood Zhang Da's hook sickle attack. Then, with a slight bend of his knees, he suddenly leaped up like a meteor rising from the ground.
Wang Da's voice rang out in the valley of consciousness.
[Ghost magic, staying in the air. ]
The meteor was frozen in mid-air.
Zhang Da attacked with his sickle hook, Wang Da flew over, kicked the corpse's shield, and then attacked with his penalty knife.
The ultimate skill, the sword of death!
The area centered on Tang Lang turned into a water dungeon with rippling water and chains in the blink of an eye.
"You still want to trap me!" Tang Lang laughed in anger, and used up all his energy to transform into a fire needle.
A huge number of fire needles formed hot arrows, trying to break the water prison.
The weapon level was there, he succeeded, and his body followed.
However--
An Rou: "Run!"
Beside her, Paopao held the Seven Souls Sword and used the barely recovered mental energy to perform three skills.
Flying sword removes filth!
The opponent was a master player, so An Rou never dared to let her guard down. Wang Da was the fastest knife in her hand, but it wasn't the fatal killing move she had planned!
To kill a high-level player, you must use high-level weapons. A critical hit depends on running!
After binding the weapon, Paopao's field of vision expanded along with the attack range of the Seven Souls Sword. The Seven Souls Sword was a flying sword, so its attack range of only a few hundred meters was naturally no problem.
Flying sword, its power is not affected by distance!
The Seven Souls Sword broke through the wall.
"Wait, come back!"
An Rou's unexpected words reached Paopao's ears.
Paopao didn't dare to question the boss's instructions and was busy resetting his skills.
The Seven Souls Sword suddenly braked and stopped in mid-air, but the energy and spirit points consumed could not be returned. In other words, if Tang Lang gave him another flaw, Paopao would not be able to perform the third stage of the skill.
But Paopao knew that the boss would not stop the attack unless it was necessary.
With the help of the Seven Souls Sword's vision, he looked at Tang Lang who was escaping in mid-air.
His eyes, which had turned silver-gray, suddenly widened.
A flawless white light tore through the night sky and fell from the sky.
——The sword is actually a flying sword!
