Spirit Realm
At the current level of sudden wealth, not eating or excessive differentiation will not cause a noticeable period of weakness.
The weak period started last night.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the rootless flowers at Fengyu Temple and the farm simultaneously bloomed, spawning countless ghouls in the night sky. The mature rootless flowers also exerted a fatal attraction on the ghouls within Baofu's body.
Just like now, the ghouls broke free from the tentacles, causing half of the starry sky within Baofu's body to extinguish. Standing before Anrou, Baofu's soul could barely maintain its human form.
Its face began to change again, and even though it didn't make a sound, An Rou could feel its pain.
The pain reached its extreme, and Bao Fu repeated the action of the previous night, absorbing all the external ghouls into his stomach.
The soul-calling song faded away, the ghouls quieted down, and returned to the tentacles of wealth, and the period of weakness was finally lifted.
Bao Fu's facial features appeared after absorbing the ghoul. An Rou originally thought that the ghoul had enhanced Bao Fu's power in some sense, but after witnessing the weak period with her own eyes, she felt that she was wrong.
Totally wrong.
It wasn't the ghouls that helped Baofu, but Baofu who used his own power to appease the ghouls, allowing them to gain a brief moment of peace.
As a price, Baofu's original soul light merged with the ghoul. Once the ghoul rioted, Baofu would become extremely weak.
Now, this situation has occurred again.
The soul-calling song came from nowhere, faintly.
She looked at the night sky through Zhang Wu's eyes. White bubbles were growing one after another, densely packed and countless.
Beneath the bubbles lay a field of mature, crimson cotton. Above the orange-red cotton, the shadows of the flames stretched, like slender candlelight.
The huge body of the wealthy creature lay prostrate in the center of the cotton field. The crack that had threatened to devour the medium vanished. Beneath its upturned head lay the remains of the medium, the lower half of his body missing.
The prey was only inches away, but the pain from the raging ghouls in its body prevented it from devouring it.
The psychic's life value was still not at the bottom after being torn apart by five horses. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly shouted, "Old ghost!"
Gus was also startled by the fact that the psychic was suddenly seriously injured, and for a moment he forgot to move. Then he was awakened by the psychic's cry, and he suddenly raised his sniper rifle and fired two shots at Baofu's head.
Bang bang, the bullet with a black vortex rushed towards the profile of the rich man.
Because of the pain in his body, the rich man's head was shaking slightly.
This caused the first bullet to lose its aim and only hit its chin.
However, the black vortex in front of the bullet obviously had extraordinary attack power. Compared with Baofu's huge head, it was just a small one, but it eliminated Baofu's entire chin.
In severe pain, Bao Fu instinctively dodged the second bullet, but his body remained in the same position without moving.
This gave Gus full confidence. The sniper rifle in his hand disappeared, and the flower python turned into a rocket launcher again.
He started running, weaving through the red cotton fields at a very fast speed, circling to the front of Bao Fu, and aiming the rocket launcher at Bao Fu's forehead.
Gus glanced at the medium.
Seizing the opportunity to prioritize killing ghouls rather than rescuing teammates is a big taboo in carrying out a mission.
But the psychic gave him a firm look.
This crazy ghoul with a high IQ cannot be kept alive.
Gus was grateful.
He took a deep breath and activated the bazooka's skill, muttering softly.
"Ima, I've avenged you. After killing this ghoul, I'll also decipher the divine revelation..."
At this moment, the ghouls that gathered into a thick cloud above poured down towards him like an avalanche.
Gus was stunned.
He glanced at the medium again.
Above the medium, above the ghouls, the ghouls that bred in the night sky didn't fall. They seemed to be caught in some kind of storm, roaring towards the eye of the storm.
He...was standing right under the eye of the storm.
All the ghouls are rushing towards him!
What's going on?
Gus didn't have time to think, and quickly moved sideways a distance, but all the ghouls also shifted their direction. They were like countless tracking bullets, rushing to where he ran.
Gus had no choice but to fire his bazooka into the air.
boom!
The rocket launcher exploded too close, and while destroying the ghouls at the bottom, the powerful shock wave sent large numbers of ghouls flying in all directions.
The shock wave rebounded downwards, and the heat wave swept up countless red flames into the night sky, contrasting with the bright white of the ghoul.
Gus didn't dare to hide it and could only look with his eyes narrowed.
Countless ghouls, relying on their instinct, flew towards the red flame cotton in the air like moths to a flame.
Evolved.
A large number of ghouls and red flame cotton merged together to become evolved ghouls, which devoured other ghouls and gathered together again.
Obviously, the target is still him!
Given Gus's friendship with the psychic, he must have visited the spirit realm long ago and recognized the ghouls.
He knew very well that newborn ghouls only had instincts, while evolved ghouls possessed a certain level of intelligence. Their weakness lay in their small size, but their strength lay in their sheer numbers.
Penetrating every pore.
Gus also conjured a bazooka in his left hand, firing four rockets in a row in all directions from both ends.
The thick smoke from the explosion engulfed the shadows of the ghouls, but many evolved ghouls still rushed out from behind the smoke.
The moment he saw them, Gus even felt that they had all avoided his rocket launcher.
How is that possible?!
How could a ghoul, who wasn't even the lowest level of the living dead, possibly dodge his purple weapon attack!
"Gus!"
A gust of wind suddenly blew from a certain direction, bringing with it a male voice.
Unlike the hot wind emitted by the medium, this wind was very cold. Just a little bit of it would make you feel cold to the bone.
Even the extremely defensive Gus felt this way, let alone the ghouls. Wherever the cold wind passed, all the ghouls were frozen, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into fine silver sand, which sprinkled into the orange-red cotton fields.
"Where's the psychic?"
Zhan Xingce landed next to Gus.
Gus subconsciously looked towards the place where the ghoul was, but it was empty and there was no trace of the ghoul.
Fortunately, the psychic also heard Zhan Xingce's voice.
"I'm here."
Having lost too much blood and without the ability to use his hands and feet, the psychic took a life potion and his voice sounded a little weak.
Her weak voice provoked the beast to roar.
The roar came from underground, stirring the alternating hot and cold air on the battlefield.
The storm is born again.
Ghouls are born at the age of 15 and have a lifespan of only fifteen minutes. Right now, that fifteen minutes is far from over, and countless ghouls are still hanging in the air.
They are pulled by the air and flow in a spiral path towards the eye of the storm.
Not only that, the violent wind blew up large tracts of red flame cotton. Compared to the pure white ghouls, they looked more like red water currents, rushing towards the whirlpool.
The eye of the vortex and the eye of the storm are in the same place.
Where the psychic is.
"Psychic!"
Zhan Xingce swept his folding fan and floated into the air like a fallen leaf.
The storm came so violently and quickly, and covered such a wide area that it swept away all the ghouls and red flame cotton in almost the blink of an eye.
Zhan Xingce had a clear vision and saw the psychic on the ground.
And the rapidly opening black hole beneath her.
Gus's weapon was infused with fire elements and was extremely sensitive to similar auras. Instantly, he shouted to Zhan Xingce, "Be careful!"
Under the black hole, the volcano suddenly erupted, and the bright yellow pillar of fire grew rapidly, engulfing Zhan Xingce's figure in an instant.
Gus may give up on his teammates once, but he will never give up on them a second time.
He rushed into the pillar of fire without hesitation, and the flower python quickly transformed into armor that covered his entire body. In the scorching heat that made it almost impossible to open his eyes, blocks of light screens quickly popped up.
Health decreased.
Defense value decreased.
Defensive items are damaged.
…
But he managed to catch Zhan Xingce. When his health was about to drop, he finally broke out of the sea of fire.
No, it wasn't that Gus escaped successfully, but that the pillar of fire disappeared.
Looking out, the entire red cotton field was charred black. Without the brilliance of the cotton, the world was plunged into a pitch-black darkness.
If it weren't for the scorching wind blowing in the air, the fierce battle just now would have seemed like a dream.
Zhan Xingce died and entered a state of temporary death.
Gus's attempt to save people ultimately failed.
He silently put down Zhan Xingce and ran back to the center of the cotton field using his superior night vision. However, there was no sign of the psychic anywhere.
Even if it is a temporarily dead body.
Gus stood silently on the ground like a stone pillar, his fists clenched, his arm muscles bulging, and the bright red snake tongue of the python tattoo protruding.
He wanted to yell.
A voice came first and entered my ears.
"Let's go to Fengyu Temple now!"
Just as Shi Xi finished speaking, he was met with Gus's fierce gaze like a wild beast.
He wasn't shocked.
"Yong'an has obtained the four major potions. Fengyu Temple is our only hope!"
-
The void has calmed down.
Perhaps it was because it had absorbed another large wave of ghouls, the limbs and faces of the ghouls on each tentacle became very clear, like little people only the size of a finger.
This made An Rou very uncomfortable.
After witnessing the ghouls rioting for two consecutive days, she had a vague feeling that these ghouls were filled with resentment. Perhaps calling them vengeful spirits would be more appropriate.
Paopao handed over a bottle of life potion, but An Rou didn't take it. She just watched the rich soul condense into shape.
Baofu stood there for a moment, walked over, took the life potion from Paopao, pulled out the cork, and handed it to Anrou.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Master."
His tone was as calm as ever, and he looked like he had recovered from his weakness.
Only then did An Rou relax and drink the potion.
Bleeding from all seven orifices seems to have become commonplace.
When she was in danger of becoming rich, she suddenly thought that since she could control the ghouls through her consciousness, and the ghouls were the predecessors of the ghouls, why not give it a try.
She severed her connection with Zhang Wu's consciousness and carefully scanned the rioting ghouls in the void with her naked eyes. Sure enough, the ghouls calmed down.
It’s just that the number is too large and the mental burden is enormous.
But An Rou had no choice but to force Bao Fu to open a crack in the void, climb onto Bao Fu's back, and continue to control the newly born ghoul.
At that moment, if Rugus's rocket launcher hit Baofu, the fate that awaited her would be the same as Baofu's.
Reduced to ashes.
While spitting out blood, she established a consciousness connection with tens of thousands of ghouls at the same time.
She successfully trapped Gus.
But at this moment, Zhan Xingce arrived and destroyed the predicament she created with one move.
Fortunately, Bo Fu finally recovered and used "pseudo-abduction" to sneak into the underground.
The life potion took effect, and An Rou regained some strength. She looked at the flawless white features of the sudden rich man and forced a smile.
"I'm not disappointed." An Rou said, "Didn't you save us in the end? By the way, what's with the flames you spewed?"
"Source Flame." Bao Fu paused, "Maybe it's also a ghost technique."
The fourth kind of ghost magic?
Paopao widened his eyes and looked at the light screen in front of him.
An Roumao casually glanced at the content on the screen, then blocked Paopao's mouth with her eyes.
On the light screen used to identify the level of ghouls, there are still only three types of ghost techniques that can make you rich: swallowing an elephant, pretending to hide, and walking at night.
There is no such thing as "Source Flame".
However, An Rou was absolutely certain that Bao Fu was not lying. The only possible explanation was that even he himself didn't know where this ability came from.
Paopao quietly pulled Anrou's clothes and gestured to the side.
Not far away, next to the small pond of the Ouroboros, was a small field of red cotton. The rich swallowed it up while they were deliberately running around in the cotton field.
An Rou understood the meaning of Paopao.
When the rich devoured the ghouls, they also devoured a large amount of red flame cotton. As soon as those temperatureless flames entered the void, they were stopped by the tentacles... or more accurately, they were swallowed by the tentacles.
The red flame cotton prompts the wealthy to awaken the "source of fire", and the logic is very reasonable.
However, "Yuan Yan" is not among the ghost techniques recognized by the game system, which is unreasonable.
An Rou is skeptical about this.
The key to solving the mystery lies in the suspected lost memory of the rich.
An Rou didn't ask any further questions, and told Paopao, "Keep an eye on the forum."
At the same time, she connected with Meng Ziyu's consciousness: [What's going on at the farm?]
Meng Ziyou immediately flew into a rage, and amidst the clattering background noise, he snarled, "Didn't I tell you to say 'hello' first when you call? Why can't you remember to do it over and over again? If my hand shakes and a few ghouls get through, don't blame me!"
An Rou remained calm and habitually picked out information from Meng Ziyu's messy words.
From the background sound, it can be heard that Meng Ziyu is operating the anti-aircraft gun.
The anti-aircraft gun is one of the spoils of war on Black Market Island. There are four of them, all connected to the thermal ship.
An Rou tried, but couldn't purchase the anti-aircraft gun on the trading tablet. In other words, there was no such item in the storage space within the tablet.
It is not a weapon, but a special item that can be reshaped using gold coins.
It is very likely that they were left behind by the Ghost Island Guild’s executive team who were the last to enter the Black Market Island.
Because the anti-aircraft gun was attached to the thermal ship and had a complex structure, Paopao speculated that it was originally integrated with the ship and shared the same energy system. Therefore, he did not forcibly remove it.
Meng Ziyou was so obsessed with it that he named all four ships warships, which was quite unoriginal. He had Khan's game memory, so he was very familiar with the operation and naturally became the driver.
As for the reason for driving the warship to fire anti-aircraft guns at this time, it is very simple: the rootless flowers on Fengyu Temple have bloomed, and also bred ghouls.
It has been less than fifteen minutes since eleven o'clock.
An Rou glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the Paopao screen and saw that it was only two minutes away.
From what Meng Ziyu said, he didn't let a single ghoul run into the farm, so holding out for another two minutes would be no problem.
[How's it going over there? Bring back some more potion ingredients, you hear? We only have so few ghouls every day, it's not enough to fight... Hello? Hello!]
An Rou also hung up without saying a word.
She looked towards the rich.
Bao Fu and she were in tune with each other and shook his head slightly: "I can't save everyone."
An Rou could also catch his emotions and confirm that he was telling the truth.
For the sake of the farm residents and the rootless flower, it was an objective necessity for Meng Ziyu to strangle the ghouls. It was also an objective fact that when Bao Fu saw the ghouls, he would take them into his body to appease them.
If Baofu feels uncomfortable or dissatisfied because of this, Anrou...will not change her actions to cater to Baofu's wishes.
But inevitably, she would feel awkward.
Fortunately, her concept of getting rich quickly matched hers.
When it comes to saving the people and the world, An Rou believes that her ideological awareness has not reached that level.
"Boss!" Paopao jumped over in shock. "Oh no! What's going on?!"
On the light screen was the Destiny Ranking List, and Paopao's finger was resting on the fourth name on the list.
The original fourth on the list was a psychic. Now, that name has surprisingly changed to "Zhan Xingce".
An Rou frowned, then quickly relaxed.
"It seems they are indeed conjoined twins," An Rou said. "Zhan Xingce and the medium used to share the same ID, but now that the medium has been eaten by Bao Bao, Zhan Xingce doesn't have one, so the ID naturally changed."
"That's too weird. I thought 'Zhan Xingce' was just a cover-up name. When the psychic lost his eligibility to play the game, this name automatically took his place? Oh—I see, Zhan Xingce changed his ID himself!"
"Maybe. Any other news?"
Paopao switched to the forum, and the homepage was full of discussions about the replacement of the fourth place on the list.
The psychic’s failure to pass the exam is just one of the reasons.
The fourth on the list became the focus of discussion.
According to the news spread by Spirit Realm Dragon Flame through various channels, no matter how famous Zhan Xingce was, he was just a high-level gold player. Judging from the replies, even Spirit Realm players believed this.
It is incredible that the gold player jumped to the fourth place on the list.
Finally, someone proposed a simple and reasonable possibility: the psychic did not fail the exam, but simply changed his ID to the same name as Zhan Xingce.
As for the reason for doing this, who knows.
Maybe it was a relationship dispute, maybe there was a conflict, or maybe it was just a psychic playing a joke on a whim.
-
The Spirit Realm is in the south and Lengbing City is in the north. Only a very few senior officials know that there is also a north-south dispute within the holographic command center.
Wei Gang, clambering on his stiff leather shoes, ran all the way to the south section of the command center. Before he even entered, he saw the medical team hurriedly pushing a gurney out and rushing to the next building.
Those are exclusive hospitals opened in the command center, one in the South District and one in the North District.
Wei Gang chased after them and grabbed the last nurse in the medical team: "What's going on? What's going on?"
While asking the question, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the gurney.
It was covered with a white sheet, and the end of the bed was blocked by medical personnel, so the face of the person lying on it could not be seen. But there were patches of dampness on the white sheet, obviously the neural sensor.
The one lying on top is a member of Longyan.
The nurse saw that it was him and said in a low, hurried voice, "The psychic's sudden death caused organ failure. Zhan Xingce's condition is very critical! According to the risk plan, we will perform surgery on him immediately!"
"A psychic medium died suddenly?" Wei Gang was stunned. After learning that the psychic medium had failed the exam, he had already developed a bad premonition. "What surgery?"
"Spinal fusion and separation surgery! Team leader Wei, time is running out. I have to leave first!"
Wei Gang opened his mouth but no words came out.
His eyes fell on the gurney that was moving further and further away.
A wet hand slid out from the edge of the white cloth, and its bright red nails stung his eyes.
-
An Rou's fingers that were sliding across the light screen stopped.
She saw a reply.
These are the task details updated after the farm arrived in the Spirit Realm, and the person who replied is still the [target of public criticism].
——Relieve the pain.
Paopao was startled: "I just checked and it's not there! Boss..."
He refrained from saying the rest of the words.
But An Rou understood.
Just because Xie Xin left the farm didn't mean he was far away from it. It was very likely that the Ghost King had been watching their every move.
If Jie Xin is also in Huo Wu Guan, then the psychic who was swallowed by the sudden wealth...
An Rou scratched her palms with her nails, forcing herself not to think about that.
She had tried her best to avoid a head-on conflict with the Spirit Realm. The situation just now happened too suddenly. Either the psychic would die, or she and the rich would die.
The key point is that the crux of the "you die and I die" situation is not with her, but with the Ghost King.
In other words, the news of the farm going to Huowu Temple was leaked to the joint team by Xie Xin. And Fengyu Temple...
In the void, the light of all the ghouls dimmed at the same time, and then quickly returned to normal.
"Baobao, what's going on?"
"Master, they are catching up."
An Rou was shocked and immediately thought of the idea of getting rich quickly.
In the chaotic environment of the Chaos Star Array, she captured a thermal ship through her rich eyes.
Unlike ordinary thermal boats, this one is triangular in shape, with a cockpit at the sharp head covered with black glass.
An arm extended from the cockpit, carrying a rocket launcher.
It's Gus again!
The rocket launcher fired a bullet, hitting the rich man's head.
An Rou was forced to sever her consciousness connection, only to see the void light flicker again. Bao Fu was enduring the damage from the rocket launcher.
"Boss, who's caught up?"
"Gus." An Rou gritted her teeth.
He is really seeking death with perseverance.
Paopao: "Is he alone? Zhan Xingce is not here? Then we don't have to be afraid of him at all."
An Rou frowned. The mountains in the Chaos Star Array were moving too fast, and the thermal ship was flying too fast to be caught.
Just now, I took a quick glance and saw that besides Gus, there was a blurry figure behind the black glass of the cockpit.
It could indeed be Zhan Xingce.
As the number one player in the Spirit Realm who stands back-to-back with the psychic, Zhan Xingce has the ability to pass through the Chaos Star Array without any harm - An Rou has no doubt about this.
Because of him, Gus was able to drive the thermal boat and keep up with the sudden wealth.
An Rou looked at Zhang Da and asked, "How far is it from Fengyu Temple?"
Bao Fu answered on Zhang Da's behalf: "It's very close."
An Rou: "Okay, speed up and rush back immediately. Baobao, you might get hurt, just bear with it."
"Master, don't worry about me."
After saying "get rich quickly", his soul dispersed into points of light and disappeared into the void.
Paopao was puzzled: "Why don't we just kill Gus? If we go back to Fengyu Temple, aren't we just walking into a trap and waiting to be besieged?"
An Rou asked back, "What did you want to say about psychics?"
Paopao opened and closed his mouth.
After seeing Jie Xin's reply, he immediately thought that the psychic might have had his luck and life taken away.
Gus immediately chased after him, causing him to forget about this as soon as he turned his head.
In his heart, the safety of the farm and his boss is always much more important than anyone else.
An Rou rubbed Paopao's head and softened her voice.
"Let's go back to Fengyu Temple first and guard the farm. Only then can we feel at ease. As long as Fengyu Temple's teleportation array is not open, the joint team can only come through the Chaos Star Array. Have you forgotten what kind of advanced technology we have?"
"Anti-aircraft guns?"
An Rou nodded.
Paopao's expression softened and he nodded vigorously: "Whoever dares to enter Fengyu Temple will be blasted out with anti-aircraft guns!"
As long as the soul is not devoured by the rich brother, no one will die even if Jie Xin hides in the dark.
