Spirit Realm
Fengyu Temple is built on the mountainside and has no electricity. The candlelight shining through the scattered buildings converges into a long dark dragon.
A tongue of fire suddenly spurted out from the dragon's head.
It was a team of dozens of people, each holding a torch.
"Baobao, don't do anything yet."
An Rou saw the light screens above their heads. They were all Spirit Realm players. According to Tian De, they were all Feng Sect disciples.
The farm, in its "Night Walk" mode, had already approached the Wind Whispering Monastery. According to An Rou's plan, as long as they were close enough, Bao Fu would be able to identify the location of every player in the monastery, draw his bone knife, and kill them with a single strike, quickly ending the battle.
But all the players inside suddenly came out in droves.
"What are they doing?" An Rou asked Paopao.
I don’t know either, the guide doesn’t mention this situation.
"Did they discover us?"
An Rou frowned. "That shouldn't be the case. The NPCs in the flower fields are all on the farm. No one would reveal any clues."
"Perhaps these NPCs haven't returned yet, so they think something's amiss." Paopao squinted his eyes and looked down. "Look at them holding torches. Maybe they're looking for someone."
"If you're looking for someone, you should call their name. It doesn't seem like you're looking for them."
An Rou thought about it, and let Bao Fu continue to move forward and circle over Fengyu Temple.
"Baobao didn't smell any soul scent, and all the players in Fengyu Temple ran out."
"Boss, look!"
An Rou cut off the connection with consciousness and looked behind her following Paopao's guidance.
The long line of torches dispersed, some remaining in the center of the flower field, while others used movement skills to run further away, until only a single bouncing point of light remained.
There were dozens of players, and everyone seemed to have a place to belong. Once they arrived, they would stick their torches into the ground and stand still.
Because they were far away, An Rou couldn't see their movements clearly.
She reconnected with the idea of getting rich quickly.
The figures and voices on the ground suddenly became clear.
"Strange, where are those flower farmers? I haven't seen them return to the temple."
"Maybe he's been hiding somewhere and slacking off."
"You bastards, wait till the harvest is over, I'll chop them all up with one blow!"
"Hey, if I were them, I wouldn't be afraid of you. You have unlimited lives, so you can do whatever you want."
"Stop whining, everyone is in place, get ready."
…
These conversations came from the players in the center of the flower field. They were several meters apart from each other, forming a circle, and were located in the center among all the players' positions.
An Rou asked Bao Fu to control the height and float over.
With the brightness of the torch, it can't even illuminate the night sky more than ten meters high, so there's no need to worry about exposing your traces.
The players suddenly squatted down and grabbed the torches at their feet. Their movements were in unison and their grips were in exactly the same position.
An Rou suddenly had a bad feeling.
The flames on the tops of those torches floated up!
"Baobao, fly high!" An Rou said hurriedly.
The farm shot up into the air, not stopping until the flames stopped rising. Baofu's eyes hovered over the edge of the farm, quickly gliding across it.
Balls of rootless fire floated beneath the farm, maintaining a distance of about ten meters. At a glance, they looked like will-o'-the-wisp flickering in the darkness.
An Rou subconsciously counted them, but because the flames were scattered far and wide, she couldn't count them clearly.
[Eighty-one.] The voice of the suddenly wealthy soul echoed in the valley of consciousness.
An Rou did not give any instructions, but he was keenly aware of his master's needs.
An Rou took a moment to react before she understood what it meant to get rich quickly.
"Eighty-one" is a very old way of expressing numbers.
There are 81 flames in total.
[Nine circles inside, nine circles inside and outside.] Baofu added, [It seems to be a formation.]
"Formation? How do you know?"
While waiting for Bao Fu's answer, An Rou observed as he said, and sure enough, as he said, there were a total of 9 players standing in the inner circle where they had just heard the discussion.
Because of the distance, even with my sharp hearing, I couldn't catch their voices.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Baofu: [I don't know how I knew that either. Sorry, Master.]
An Rou: "Don't talk nonsense, what else do you know?"
The rich man fell silent again.
An Rou couldn't see the soul at this time, but inexplicably, she seemed to see the soul lowering its head and thinking hard.
An Rou: "Bao Bao, if you can't remember, then don't think about it..."
[These balls of fire seem to be connected together.]
As the words of getting rich quickly came out, the flames in the night sky suddenly lit up, changing from orange to bright yellow, as if the invisible fuse lurking in the air had been ignited.
From each ball of fire, several straight and thin lines of fire extended out, leading to other balls of fire.
An Rou couldn't help but open her eyes wide.
"What the hell is this?!" Meng Ziyu slapped Paopao's shoulder.
Paopao didn't bother to answer and called Anrou, "Boss!"
"I saw it." An Rou said, "It's a formation."
Below the farm, 81 flames have been connected into one by lines of fire, like a giant spider web, but the patterns are countless times more complex than those of a spider web.
In addition to the fire lines, the fireball was also spitting out fire beads that were a circle smaller than the main body.
The fire beads were extremely bright, winding along the line of fire, like living things. Hundreds of fire beads moved in the fire net, dazzling the eyes.
An Rou keenly grasped a strange point: among so many fire beads, not two of them collided.
"Paopao, look at the trajectories of those fire beads. What do they look like?"
Paopao blinked hard, focused his attention, and shouted, "Array pattern, no, it's the light flow of the array pattern on the auxiliary card!"
Before he finished speaking, the flames of the entire fire net increased again, completely illuminating the entire valley.
"Baobao..."
[Master, don't worry, they can't see through the night walk.]
An Rou nodded and looked down intently.
It turns out that the area of the valley where Fengyu Temple is located is so large that at first glance, it seems to be enough to accommodate more than a dozen farms.
Through the gaps in the fire net, you can see that most of the valley is planted with the same kind of low plants.
The position of the player at the center of the formation is also the center of the valley, and the ridges of the fields radiate outward from here like a real spider web.
The fire net released by the player covered the entire valley.
Paopao couldn't open his eyes because of the strong light.
Undeterred by the bright light, Meng Ziyou crouched at the edge of the farm and watched for a while, wondering, "They...seem to be guarding against something?"
It illuminated An Rou's confusion.
It was right. The fire net covered the col tightly, like the light shield of a ghost island, either to trap things inside or to block things outside.
Could it be... that someone wants to steal the rootless flower?
At this moment, a loud bell sound penetrated the firelight and reached the ears.
An Rou suddenly looked in the direction of the sound.
Fengyuguan...the sound comes from the buildings at the edge of the valley!
clang--
clang--
Even though there were red flames outside, the night in the enclosed space of the farm was as dark as usual.
But the farm is rarely so lively after dark.
All the lights on the second street and one alley were on, and all the food shops on Yong'an and Yongnian Streets were brightly lit.
Following An Rou's instructions to "entertain well", all the residents rolled up their sleeves, some helping to cook and some serving guests.
However, the NPCs in the Spirit Realm were shy and stayed together, refusing to separate.
An Younian simply had everyone bring their tables and chairs to the street and set up a buffet once again. Everyone prepared food in their own shops and then brought it out to the table on a unified platter.
The meal was so rich that no one dared to pick up their chopsticks. Even Tiande began to hesitate, holding the chopsticks he had just used to eat noodles.
"Don't be polite. We grow and make them ourselves." An Younian advised with a smile.
Tiande dropped his chopsticks with a snap.
He heard the bells.
"The Meridian Bell, the Meridian Bell is ringing!"
All the Spirit Realm NPCs stood up suddenly.
An Younian was puzzled: "Don't panic, brother. Everyone, don't panic! What's wrong with the bell?"
Tiande didn't answer, and another person shouted, "It's midnight, the rootless flowers are ripe, and the ghouls are coming! Hide, hide quickly!"
"No one is allowed to hide!" Tian De suddenly shouted, scolding, "If we hide, what will happen to the rootless flower? If the rootless flower is damaged, will we be safe tomorrow? Will your family be safe tomorrow? Come with me to pick flowers!"
An Younian was confused and couldn't stop him.
Meihong and Leng Hanli came out and stood in front of Tiande.
Meihong smiled and said, "Old man, the farmer has ordered us to treat you well. If you encounter any difficulties, please tell us directly. I am sure that we, the farmer, will help you if we can."
"That's right. If you are in a hurry to pick flowers but lack manpower, we can help." Leng Hanli agreed.
An Younian nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Brother Tiande, don't be impatient when encountering things. It's easy to make mistakes when you are anxious. If there is anything, let's discuss it together..."
"We can't discuss it!"
Tian De stamped his feet anxiously. "You are from other places, how could you know how delicate the rootless flower is? Ordinary people can't serve it. Brother An, we are already very grateful for your meal. We can't let you take any risks no matter what. Ghoul spirits... Ghoul spirits are too dangerous!"
"The ghouls are coming!" someone else shouted.
Yong'an Street suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked up at the night sky at the same time. The NPCs in the Spirit Realm showed fear on their faces, while the farm residents were confused.
"Meihong, did you... hear that?"
“…I heard something, it seemed like singing.”
Meihong and Leng Hanli looked at each other, and in each other's confused expressions, they both discerned a hint of inexplicable fear.
They seemed to recognize this faint singing voice.
But they all remembered clearly that they had never heard such a sound in their lives.
"Hide, hide quickly!"
Tiande suddenly pushed An Younian into the nearest house and said, "The ghouls are coming for the rootless flower. As long as we hide and seal the doors and windows, they won't harm you! Quick, get everyone to hide!"
Riots began in the streets.
The NPCs from the Spirit Realm rushed to the shops on both sides of the street, closing their doors and locking their windows with skillful and neat movements.
Tiande saw this and angrily shouted at them, "What are you doing?! Are you going to watch others die? They are our benefactors!"
Compared to the Spirit Realm NPCs, the farm residents seemed quite dull.
No matter what danger they encountered, An Rou tried her best to keep them out of danger, so that they could live comfortably for a few days, as if they had lived comfortably for a lifetime.
No one thought that Yong'an Farm was in any danger, unless the sinister Ghoul King came back, or another destined being with ill intentions visited the farm.
An Younian tried to comfort Tiande: "Um, brother, the ghoul is... a ghoul? Don't be afraid, no ghoul can wreak havoc on our farm."
"A ghoul is a ghoul, and a ghoul is a ghoul. They are different, different!"
Tiande didn't bother to explain and yelled at his companions, "Still standing there? Hurry up!"
The NPCs from the Spirit Realm then hurried out of the house, pulling and dragging the farm residents into the house for safety.
However, the time from hearing the song to now has dragged on too long.
The singing voice went from faint to extremely clear, as if it was ringing in people's ears, tiring their nerves.
"It's over, it's too late!"
"Don't worry about others, just run!"
The sound was like a gust of wind, whistling over everyone's heads.
The Spirit Realm NPC panicked again and again, and finally spread fear to the farm residents, causing everyone to panic and run around in a panic.
Tables and chairs were overturned and the street was in a mess.
Fortunately, by the time the last person crawled into the room, the people in the room didn't notice anything scary outside.
The most frightening thing seemed to be the layers of singing.
Inside each glass window, there were several faces crowded together, holding their breath and staring outside with wide eyes.
After waiting for a while, someone finally called out, "Here they come!"
The one who came was Zhang Da.
Its gaze swept across the chaotic scene and looked at the people in the window.
"The boss told everyone not to be afraid. No matter what's out there, as long as they stay within the farm, they can't hurt you."
Its sound passed through the glass and reached everyone's ears clearly.
The farm residents all showed expressions of "as expected".
"It was a false alarm."
"Just tell me, where does the danger in Yong'an come from?"
"Eternal peace, eternal safety..."
On the other hand, the NPCs in the Spirit Realm all looked in disbelief.
I only heard the singing, but didn't see the ghoul.
Could it be that ghouls can’t enter this place?
An Younian opened the door, walked out, looked around, and said to Zhang Dadao: "Go help Rourou, we'll take care of this."
All the eyes from the windows were on him.
An Younian returned to the door and helped Tiande, who had accidentally tripped and fell, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you okay? Come, sit up for a while, I'll go make you some food..."
Tiandra grabbed his sleeve and swallowed, "Um...Brother Younian, what exactly is this place?"
An Younian smiled proudly: "Yong'an Farm was built by my daughter."
-
Zhang Da reported the situation on the farm to An Rou.
An Rou nodded. It seemed that the space created by the "Night Walk" could isolate the ghouls.
Judging from the name, ghouls and ghouls are obviously closely related.
Baofu's eyes appeared below the farm, and he took her to look at the white bubbles above the fire net.
To be precise, the ghoul is not a bubble, but more like an elongated and deformed water droplet, with a round head in front, a pointed tail in the back, and a whole body of white.
I guess when designing the ghouls in the game, they heavily referenced the image of souls in stick figures comics.
The ghouls are very small, like tadpoles, and the human eye cannot distinguish their specific shapes from a distance.
They were so dense that it looked like a plague of white locusts had erupted in the valley.
Thanks to her newly acquired night vision, An Rou was able to discern the few details of the ghoul. Its round head had no facial features, only a gaping mouth.
They appear out of thin air.
After the noon bell struck three times, in addition to the firelight in the valley, another layer of color appeared all over the mountains - pure white.
It wasn't a ghoul, but rather a field of luminescent white flowers covering the entire valley.
The rootless flowers all bloomed at the same time. If there were no fire net blocking the view, it would have been a stunning sight.
Then, the ghoul appeared.
The night sky illuminated by the fire net was filled with densely packed white dots, stacked and crowded together. From a distance, it looked like a group of white clouds, but from a close look, it was good news for people with trypophobia.
They surround the farm in layers.
If there weren't a ten-meter height difference between the farm and the fire net, the Fengmen players on the ground would have been able to see at a glance that an extremely huge black hole had appeared in the sky that should have been white.
Ever since the white dot appeared, An Rou could vaguely hear singing.
After a few seconds, the white spots came back to life as if insect eggs had hatched, and the singing became stronger and stronger, causing An Rou, who was always calm, to feel a little scared.
It is not a fear of monsters, but more like a natural fear of life towards the ancient unknown mystery.
Fear ghosts and gods.
Reverence heaven and earth.
The ghouls began to rush towards the fire net below.
The fire beads flowing on the fire net exploded, and a dense flame rose on the giant net. Any ghouls touched by the flames were reduced to ashes.
It was obvious that the ghoul was heading for the rootless flower. The formation set up by the Fengmen players was to protect the rootless flower.
An Rou connected the consciousness of all the ghouls on the farm at the same time.
[Do you hear the singing?]
The same question was asked to every ghoul, including Baofu.
The answers I got were all "no".
An Rou asked Paopao again, and Paopao also shook his head.
"What kind of singing is that? Boss, is it a soul-calling song?"
"What exactly is the soul-calling song like?"
"I haven't heard of it, I don't know..."
Paopao said, "Someone online tried to recreate it, and that audio clip has been widely circulated. It's a long, lingering piece of music, but it's particularly low and hollow, and it makes you feel very depressed... a very melancholic kind of thing."
An Rou nodded thoughtfully.
According to Paopao's description, it does sound like a soul-calling song.
The ghoul is the one who brings the soul-calling song, so it's understandable that he can't hear the song. Paopao is a player, his soul hasn't been devoured, so it's understandable that he can't hear the song.
However, why can NPCs hear the singing?
This is another question worth pondering.
There is no time to explore now, because there are too many ghouls, and even Bao Fu cannot see the scene below the fire net clearly.
An Rou let it fly to the edge of the fire net, found a place in the mountain that was not covered by the flames, and put it down and opened it wide.
[You don't need to get too close, just observe from a distance.]
"I'm going too!" Meng Ziyu volunteered and followed Zhang Da out of his rich belly.
The two ghouls passed through the gap and landed steadily on the ground.
Because the fire net illuminated the entire valley, and there was a Fengmen player not far away, An Rou asked them to bury themselves in the rootless flowers and crawl forward.
She sees through their eyes.
The first discovery: Ghouls and ghouls do have the same origin.
If a large gap could fit through, a small one like a ghoul could also fit through. Therefore, there were quite a few ghouls at the edge of the flower field who were lucky enough not to be destroyed by the fire net.
They seemed to be completely unaware of the existence of Zhang Da and Meng Ziyu, and rushed straight towards the rootless flower.
The second discovery: The reason why the rootless flower is called a rootless flower is not because it has no roots, but because the flower and the flower stem are separated.
A pure white five-petal flower hovered above the calyx, as if condensed from moonlight—if there was a moon in the Soul World.
The third discovery is also the most important.
The ghoul rushed towards the rootless flower impatiently, and the moment it touched the center of the flower, the petals suddenly closed.
The ghoul was like a bee that accidentally picked up a carnivorous plant and was swallowed by the petals.
Then, the edges of the petals became blurred, and the rootless flower was no longer a rootless flower, but a cocoon that had left the calyx.
After a short wait, a head emerged from one end of the cocoon. It still had no facial features, only a large mouth. However, the body of the cocoon had the outlines of limbs.
An evolved ghoul.
After the ghoul evolved, it no longer pounced on the rootless flower, but instead circled in place and began to devour other ghouls that had not evolved.
Every time it devours one, its size will grow a little bit, and its body outline will become more and more distinct.
An Rou became very interested.
She was just about to ask Meng Ziyu to find a way to catch an evolved ghoul when she saw a flash of purple light.
One skill killed the ghoul on the spot.
An Rou hurriedly asked Zhang Da and Meng Ziyu to hide.
It turns out that the ghouls that escaped the fire net were not completely left alone. Once they evolved to a certain size, they would be eliminated by the Fengmen players.
An Rou saw clearly that the player who attacked was only at the bronze level, and he easily killed the ghoul with just one skill. It seemed that this ghoul was very weak.
This also poses a fatal threat to NPCs.
She became interested and gave Zhang Da a lot of instructions.
The reason why it was Zhang Da and not Meng Ziyou was simply because the latter asked too many questions and was too long-winded. Zhang Da only followed orders and never needed explanations.
The flower field is too big and there are too many ghouls on the scene. Fengmen players need to pay attention to the situation in the sky and be wary of any fish that slip through the net around them. They have no time to care whether there are people hiding in the surrounding flower fields.
Zhang Dashou was doing some small movements in the flowers, it was safe.
It reached out and quickly grabbed the Ghoul it was holding in its palm and placed it on the rootless flower in front of it. When the flower wrapped around the Ghoul and began to evolve, it grabbed a few more Ghouls.
This ghoul was very lucky. As soon as it evolved, food was delivered to its door continuously.
In a short while, its body grew from a small tadpole to larger than an open palm. Ignoring its facial features, the outline of its limbs was already very clear, revealing a slender humanoid figure.
Perhaps because he had been a child for too long, Meng Ziyu was also very curious. First, the sky was filled with ghouls, and then the ground was covered with rootless flowers. It stared at them with its eyes wide open and never retracted them.
Sasha will definitely like such beautiful flowers.
But Meng Ziyu tried several times. Whether he pulled it up by the roots or broke off branches to pick the flowers, it only took a second for the rootless flowers to wither and turn into a handful of silver sand.
The silver sand is beautiful, but it also cannot last for more than a second.
Meng Ziyu was so anxious that he scratched his head and looked around. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Da take out a potion, pour the liquid inside onto the ground, and then picked up the ghoul in front of him and stuffed it in.
The potion bottle was only two fingers wide, much smaller than the ghoul's body. However, the ghoul was like a ball of cotton, and after Zhang Da rubbed it a few times, he finally stuffed it in.
"What are you doing?" Meng Ziyu asked in a low voice.
Zhang Da said nothing.
Meng Ziyu didn't care whether it answered or not, and an idea flashed in his mind.
It took out a potion of stamina.
Khan's parasite contains all four potions, but only the stamina potion is transparent. The bottle and potion are colorless and odorless.
Meng Ziyu emptied the potion and quickly picked several rootless flowers. Without waiting for the petals to wither, he poured them into the bottle.
In one second, the withered sand turned into sand, and in another second, the silver sand disappeared. No matter how fast Meng Ziyu moved, he could only say that time was just enough.
Without even checking to see if it was successful, it immediately put the cork back in. He breathed a sigh of relief and then opened his palm.
Done.
In the bottle, a small amount of silver sand that had not yet disappeared was shining brightly.
An Rou did not miss what Meng Ziyu saw.
The small bottle containing silver sand made her realize that she had missed too many details.
Before Meng Ziyu did this, she didn't realize that the rootless flower did not disappear after withering, but turned into sand first.
These sands...
She couldn't help but think of a memorable scene -
The sword flashed with a cold light and struck Meiqian's head, and a living being was completely destroyed, turning into flying sand.
Is it... a coincidence?
An Rou heard Zhang Da's voice: [Boss, it's done.]
An Rou calmed herself down: [Pay attention to the angle, don't expose yourself.]
Then he said to Meng Ziyou: [Meng Ziyou, I want a bottle of sand too.]
[You can just let Lao Zhang handle it, why are you ordering me around...]
Meng Ziyu muttered and took out another stamina potion.
Zhang Da used a glass bottle of life potion. The bottle was black, which just covered the white light of the ghoul in the bottle.
It pressed its thumb against the bottle's mouth and could feel the ghoul biting its fingertips, but unfortunately the force was too weak to penetrate its skin.
Zhang Da looked up at the nearest Fengmen player and waited for his opportunity.
When an evolved ghoul appeared in another direction, the Fengmen player released a skill towards the ghoul and Zhang Da suddenly threw the bottle over.
The black bottle spun rapidly in the air, the sound perfectly masked by the roar of the flames in the fire net.
By the time the players develop a sense of danger, it is already too late.
The bottle hit his leg, and the ghoul inside rushed out from the bottle mouth. With a flash of white light, it disappeared on his trouser leg.
The player froze in place, like a stone statue.
Around them, several more evolved ghouls swooped over.
An Rou had long discovered that although the flower field was so large, there were only dozens of players guarding it. In addition to the fire net blocking it, there was another reason: after the ghouls evolved, they would be attracted by the souls of the players.
Therefore, players must always be alert to their surroundings and kill these vulnerable little creatures.
And these little ghouls who are lucky enough to get the rootless flower will continue to rush to their deaths.
As soon as the player stopped moving, the evolved ghouls attracted by him no longer posed a threat and flew towards him, sinking into his body.
An Rou observed through wide eyes, her brows furrowed.
The first changes appeared on the player's face, with his eyes widening and the corners of his mouth turning down - exactly the same as the living dead ghoul.
As more ghouls entered his body, the muscles on his face began to twitch wildly, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyeballs bulged outwards so much in anger that they almost rolled off.
The trembling pupils suddenly stopped.
The player's body suddenly exploded, and hot blood splattered into the nearby flower fields, causing the rootless flowers to wither instantly.
His body was moving.
He began to change drastically.
The corpse looked like a piece of bamboo, blown into several pieces above the waist. Each piece began to mutate, and a terrified face grew at the end of each mutated part.
What will happen if two ghouls parasitize one person at the same time?
——This is something An Rou had asked Paopao about a long time ago.
Paopao’s answer was very clear: regardless of whether the parasite dies or not, it will continue to transform wildly.
And six Evolved Ghouls entered the player's body.
In other words, each head now represents a ghoul.
Six wildly transformed ghouls sharing a common parasite.
After his crazy transformation, his size was far smaller than the former Wang Da, but there was some similarity.
Each split mutated part is like a snake, led by the head, sinking into the flower field and reaching towards its companions in the distance.
As one of the nine Fengmen players in the outermost layer of the formation, he was far enough away from the others so that no one noticed the abnormality here.
Meng Ziyu heard the rustling sound of crawling, looked up, and was so scared that he almost threw the bottle in his hand.
"What's going on?"
An Rou's voice appeared in his mind: [You are an S-rank ghoul, are you afraid of it?]
Meng Ziyou: [Who said I was scared?!]
It just didn't expect to see such a disgusting thing when it looked up.
The lower half of his body was still standing there, but the upper half had already run away.
An Rou made a quick decision: [Give it a hand. I want all the Chosen Ones to die in the ghoul tide.]
At the same time, she asked Baofu to carry the farm and fly high until they reached the boundary between Fengyu Temple and Chaos Star Array, and then stopped.
If the distance is far enough, Sudden Wealth will not appear in the quest details of Ghoul Tide.
Zhang Da is already familiar with how to create a wave of ghouls. Meng Ziyu has a high IQ and they cooperate very well.
They are all S-level ghouls, and their movement speed and skills are far beyond the reach of these mid- and low-level players.
After a while, An Rou heard miserable and panicked cries.
At the same time, the flames below the farm dimmed. With no one to maintain the formation, the fire net quickly dissipated. The locust-like ghouls, without any obstacles, swarmed frantically towards the flower fields.
But their flying speed is far inferior to that of the rich.
The swirling black fog descended from the sky, stirring up a strong wind that blew the little ghouls in all directions.
As for how to deal with these ghouls, An Rou couldn't think of a better way except using fire attack.
The best weapon for fire attack should be the fire crossbow in Meng Ziyu's hand.
The question is, is the Fire Crossbow's skill enough to destroy all the ghouls?
An Rou didn't want the ghouls to destroy the rootless flowers, as those were her favorite cash crops.
As she was thinking, she suddenly noticed the changes in the Valley of Rich Awareness.
[I’m so hungry, so hungry, so hungry, so hungry…]
The instinctive background noise accelerated.
It has always been slow and long, so long that An Rou often forgets its existence.
An Rou was incredulous: [Bao Bao, you want to eat them?]
How could those "ghouls" who were clearly a weaker level actually make the rich have an appetite?
Baofu's answer was very affirmative: [Yes, Master. Is it okay?]
There is nothing wrong with being gentle.
With a low and long roar, the farm suddenly accelerated, and a huge black hole appeared below.
Bao Fu was trying his best to inhale, and the huge suction force made the air carry the ghoul into the black hole.
Wherever it passed, large groups of white ghouls disappeared, like a giant marshmallow that was eaten up in a few bites.
An Rou could see clearly that those devoured by Bao Fu were all small ghouls that had not evolved, and all the evolved ghouls were eliminated with the bone blade. The latter withered like rootless flowers and dissipated into light silver sand.
The farm stopped, only two or three meters above the ground.
An Rou looked up and saw that the night sky had returned to darkness, with no new ghouls appearing.
It seems that after the rootless flower blooms, it will only breed ghouls for a short period of time.
In the flower field, Meng Ziyou burped and lazily said to An Rou: "I didn't leave any, I ate them all."
An Rou nodded.
The order she issued was not to take the corpse, but to let Meng Ziyu and Zhang Da devour all their souls.
There are too many enemies, so we must find a way to quickly upgrade all the ghouls on the farm.
However, looking at the light screen that popped up in front of Paopao, after the two of them divided up 81 souls, their levels remained at S. This must be because the levels of these players were too low and the quality of their souls was too poor.
I have to find some high-level player souls above gold level in the future.
The faint light from the blooming rootless flowers cast a layer of white gauze over the huge valley, but the white gauze was torn.
From the side of the mountain to the center of the flower field, the rootless flowers were completely destroyed where the farm had crushed them, like a huge gray scar.
"Run, go over there and see if you can use the gold coins to repair the flower fields."
"Get rich quick brother?"
Paopao was also very curious about why Baofu would devour the ghoul.
"I'll go take a look first, you can come back later."
An Rou said, "Let's repair the flower fields first and see if we can improve the favorability of the Spirit Realm NPCs."
Run and jump down the farm.
An Rou let Bao Fu open a crack and stepped into the void.
Indeed, changes occurred in the void.
When forcing his way through the Chaos Star Array, An Rou consumed a lot of energy. An Rou clearly remembered that the soul light spots on the tentacles were dimming.
However, at this time, these light spots were even brighter than before entering the spiritual realm.
But that's not the most important thing.
The second change An Rou discovered made her hold her breath.
All the soul light points...turned into the appearance of ghouls.
An Rou subconsciously thought that she had ignored the sound, but after listening carefully, she was sure that she did not hear the soul-calling song.
The tentacles surged, and the soul of sudden wealth appeared in front of him.
It has changed too.
The previously blank face now has facial features.
It's not just one person's facial features, but facial features that change at the speed of seconds. Sometimes it's a man with firm lines, and sometimes it's a woman with graceful eyebrows and eyes.
In the end, it froze into the appearance of Jie Xin.
Except for the flawless pure white skin, eyes, ears, nose and mouth, every detail is exactly like Jie Xin's appearance.
The only difference is that Jie Xin is handsome to the point of being enchanting, and he becomes rich overnight, as otherworldly as an exiled immortal.
I have so many questions, I don’t know where to start.
An Rou opened her mouth several times, and finally instinctively chose the question she was most concerned about: "Is this your face?"
The reaction to sudden wealth was dazed.
He raised his hand and touched his cheek, his fingertips brushing across his lips, nose bridge, and brow bone, then slowly lowered it.
"Yes, Master."
An Rou looked at him quietly.
"If the master doesn't like it, I can change it to any face."
An Rou raised her hand to stop him: "No need, you should be whatever you are."
The same face looks like a low-quality knock-off on Jie Xin, but looks natural on Bao Fu.
An Rou doesn't think she is hypocritical because it is her intuition.
Perhaps this face and this identity of "Jie Xin" were meant to bring sudden wealth.
"But," An Rou smiled, "your face changed a lot just now, what happened?"
Don't tell me it's a mix of men and women, old and young coexisting together.
Bao Fu looked around at the ghouls on the tentacles, and his tone became compassionate.
"I didn't notice it. If the master saw it, it would have been them."
"They? You mean, these ghouls...were once human?"
Ghouls are the preparatory state for evolving into ghouls. Doesn't that mean that every ghoul, if they trace their origins, are also human?
"I'm sorry... I didn't know..."
"I thought you remembered something."
"No... Master, I just felt their pain."
Bao Fu stretched out his hand, and a tentacle extended over. He stared quietly at the ghoul on the tentacle.
"They are desperate. I think I can give them a little peace."
This short conversation made An Rou overturn her previous guess about getting rich quickly.
Ever since Baofu claimed to be "Jie Xin", she once thought that Baofu would replace Jie Xin and evolve into the new Ghost King.
But now she feels that Jie Xin is not the real "Jie Xin", but sudden wealth is.
Ghouls aren't monsters. According to the rich man's explanation, they were originally human...
Beneath the surface of the game, the secrets hidden in the Soul World seem to be right before our eyes.
It was just too fragmented, and An Rou was unable to piece together the clues and restore the truth.
"Master," Baofu carefully interrupted Anrou's thoughts, "Tian De came out with the flower farmer."
An Rou suppressed her chaotic thoughts and said, "Send me up."
The residents didn't consider the "ghost spirits" Tiande mentioned to be particularly dangerous, but the singing was still disturbing. Only An Younian had unwavering faith in his daughter and went to the kitchen to make another large pot of noodles.
Bowls of noodles were placed in front of the Spirit Realm NPCs, but no one dared to pick up their chopsticks.
Until the singing suddenly disappeared.
"The ghouls were destroyed?"
"How long? A quarter of an hour?"
"It should be done by the Fengmen disciples, right?"
Amidst everyone's questions, Tiande led everyone out of the farm gate, crouched down, and looked down at the farm cautiously.
There were no ghouls, nor were there any fire net spells cast by the Fengmen disciples. In fact, there wasn't even a single Fengmen disciple in sight.
Only the white flowers that stretch out in a row bloom quietly.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
"Could it be that the Feng Sect disciples left after killing the ghouls?"
"That's impossible. Don't they whip us every day to make us hurry up and pick the fruits?"
Meng Ziyu suddenly jumped out and said with a grin, "Did they whip you? What a pity, what a pity, they didn't let you whip them back and take revenge yourself."
For the NPCs in the Spirit Realm, Meng Ziyu, who was parasitic on Khan, had an alien face, a tall stature, and suddenly appeared next to him, which was quite scary.
Tiande lost his balance and fell to the edge of the farm.
Amid the screams of the crowd, a ball of pale white mist lifted him up.
There was a hint of tobacco in the white mist.
Tiande was dizzy and thought that it was the Fengmen disciple who saved him. He was busy thanking him before he even stood firmly. When he saw the figure in front of him clearly, he was suddenly stunned.
They are not disciples of Fengmen, but people with destiny on the farm. Go to the street to inform them beforehand, so there is no need to panic.
But he knows this kind of magic that allows him to fly in the clouds... Is he really not a disciple of Fengmen?
Zhang Da glanced at Meng Ziyu indifferently, and the latter curled his lips and took a step back.
An Rou emerged from the ground, leaving the Spirit Realm NPCs stunned again.
"Old man," An Rou heard their discussion and said with a smile, "From now on, there will be no Feng Sect disciples in Fengyu Temple. Don't worry, without them, the ghouls won't be able to harm any of you."
"You...the farmer drove away all the Fengmen disciples?"
Tiande is older after all, so he is still tactful and changed his words in time.
An Rou was about to nod when Meng Ziyu interrupted, "I already said I'd avenge you. None of them survived, they're all dead."
An Rou turned around and glared at him.
Unexpectedly, Meng Ziyu not only did not do anything bad, but also greatly increased the invisible favorability of the Spirit Realm NPCs towards her.
Tiande led everyone to kneel down and kowtow repeatedly.
An Rou's eyes met theirs briefly, and she heard a similar background sound.
[It’s so cold, I’m really cold…]
