Clusters of tiny, weak flames popped out from the fingertips, trailing into thin orange-red lines that shot down from the city wall in different directions, one after another.
There were twenty flames in total.
Controlling twenty flames at the same time is his current limit.
Compared to the number of resentful ghosts in various maps in virtual online games, it is a drop in the bucket.
But it's better than doing nothing.
He jumped onto the edge of the city wall and leaped down towards the city.
The wind whistled in my ears.
When he landed, the tip of his shoes touched the ground lightly, and he ran towards the city without looking back.
No damage!
The system dynamically captures the bar sliding over a line of text like this.
It has high defense and thick health bar, so it is not afraid of falling.
From time to time, shrill howls and screams could be heard in the city, reaching the sky.
"What's that sound?"
"You scared me!"
"So creepy... like the sound effects in a supernatural show..."
"It's much scarier than that. I got goosebumps."
"Ah, my head hurts..."
Players in the city were talking about it.
That was the sound made by the vengeful ghost being devoured by flames.
When the data that the vengeful ghost is attached to is "killed" and does not attach to new data in time, the flames of instinctive devouring will detect it and devour it.
However, the vengeful ghosts attached to the data cannot be found by the flame without intelligence.
What we need to do now is to kill these red-named NPCs and wild monsters in the city as soon as possible.
Two huge gray wolves were blocking the street on the left and right, with their heads slightly lowered, their pointed mouths open, revealing sharp teeth, and saliva dripping onto the ground.
It's an elite monster.
These resentful ghosts are becoming more and more selective about the data they attach themselves to.
As he ran at high speed, the distance between Luo Zheyu and them became closer and closer.
The two gray wolves suddenly crouched, jumped up, and pounced over with their mouths wide open.
The pure black eyeballs looked like inlaid wooden beads, without any brilliance or liveliness.
Luo Zheyu did not stop, and suddenly drew the long sword from his waist. While drawing the sword, he swung it back with his backhand, chopping the two gray wolves at the same time.
“Ouch!”
Following two mournful wolf howls, the wolf's body fell to the ground and could never get up again.
The vengeful ghost floated out from the wolf's corpse.
"call--"
A ball of fire the size of a basketball, accompanied by the sound of wind, shot straight towards him from behind.
Pounce on the resentful ghost and burn violently.
Luo Zheyu did not look back to see the screams behind him. There were many red-named NPCs in this city. They had high combat power and greater lethality than these wild monsters.
………
"Master! We are finally out of the Novice Village!"
"yes……"
The two walked in the main city, sighing with regret on their faces.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha..." A child came running towards them, he looked to be about five or six years old, not even as tall as their waists, barefoot, wearing a red bellyband, with two pigtails tied up in the air, dragging a thin sword in his hand, and laughing happily.
"This game is quite interesting and has a very ancient flavor." said the middle-aged man with a goatee.
"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual in the game, and there are no problems within the game company. Those talismans may have become ineffective after thousands of years."
"Yeah, I wonder if there is a Taoist character in this game?" The young man answered, and suddenly pointed at the top of the child's head and asked, "Hey, Master, why does this child have a name on his head? The NPCs we saw in the Novice Village before didn't have a name on their heads..."
“Maybe this is the main city.”
On the boy's head, there were three big, bright red characters: "Wang Asan."
His skin was fair, tender and delicate, and he was chubby, with arms that looked like lotus roots. He raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him, with a bright smile that seemed frozen on his face.
The rapier in his hand hung on the ground, and there seemed to be some dark red stains on the sword.
The master and the disciple couldn't help but curl up the corners of their mouths and smiled kindly at "Wang Asan".
What a cute kid.
The distance between the two is getting closer.
“Hehehe…”
"Wang Asan" narrowed his eyes with a smile, and suddenly raised the rapier with his chubby arms like lotus roots and stabbed it towards the abdomen of the middle-aged man with a goatee.
The middle-aged man was caught off guard and looked shocked as a sword stabbed into his abdomen.
As a newbie who had just left the Novice Village, his health bar was instantly reduced to half.
"Master, Master!" The young man next to him was confused and frantically pulled out the long sword hanging from his waist.
"Wang Asan" still had a bright smile on his face, giggling as he pulled out his rapier and quickly stabbed it into the middle-aged man's abdomen.
"Well……"
The middle-aged man's health bar was emptied and his body slowly fell down.
The young man just rushed forward and stabbed twice clumsily before being knocked over by the red-named NPC boy who was wearing a red bellyband with his butt exposed.
Two bodies lay straight on the street.
There was a flash of white light, and the ground was empty.
The smooth-looking, light blue, fully enclosed game cabin suddenly opens.
"vomit!!!"
The middle-aged man with a goatee sat up, stuck his head out of the game cabin, and retched continuously.
"Master, are you okay?"
In the game cabin nearby, the door opened, and a pale-faced young man sat up and asked with concern.
"What a crappy game!" the middle-aged man let out a hoarse roar from his throat.
"Please keep quiet and don't disturb others." The intelligent robot detected that the decibel level exceeded the set value, slid over and made a soft voice.
This is an Internet cafe robot.
………
NPC guards have no group attack skills, and all their moves are basic moves.
Looking at the grocery store in front of him surrounded by a large group of blue and black butterflies, Luo Zheyu felt a little headache.
These butterfly monsters do not cause much damage and have low attack power, but they gather here in the thousands.
Even if one sword could kill ten, it would take thousands of swings to kill them one by one.
A chaotic sound of footsteps approached.
"There's an NPC guard there!"
"Let's go and take a look!"
"It's him! It's this guard! Come on, brothers, work together and push him!"
When Luo Zheyu heard the shouting, he couldn't help but look back.
The sun shines on the white jade face under the silver helmet, and the shadow of the long eyelashes covers the lower part of the eyelids.
"Kill!" A group of players wearing various equipment and costumes, holding knives, guns, hammers and axes, shouted and rushed towards him.
The leader was the player who clamored to push the NPC guards in the underground mine that day.
He held his weapon high, his face showing the joy of having had his revenge.
Luo Zheyu looked at them with a strange expression on his face, and then slowly smiled.
It's like giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy. That comes at the right time.
As soon as they entered the range where martial arts could be performed, the players couldn't wait to launch attacks. Among them, the most players used swords as weapons. White sword lights emanated from a group of players and came towards Luo Zheyu.
I have a lot of experience in pushing BOSS.
When the sword light came closer, Luo Zheyu dodged it with a flash, but the sword light continued to move forward and slashed towards the blue-black butterfly flying behind Luo Zheyu.
In an instant, the dead bodies of butterflies fell to the ground.
The leading player ran the fastest and soon reached Luo Zheyu, trying to engage him in close combat and defeat him using the human wave tactic.
Luo Zheyu drew out his long sword and slashed the player's waist horizontally. He then took two steps back, allowing the sword light that was attacking him again to miss and slash behind him.
The corpses of blue and black butterflies kept falling, forming a layer on the ground.
When the leading player saw Luo Zheyu, he was very angry. Thinking of the previous grievances, he just wanted to lead a group of brothers to kill him for revenge. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close, he was stabbed by the NPC guard and one third of his health was taken away.
There was a sharp pain in my abdomen.
It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just this. It's impossible not to feel some pain when playing an online game. But unfortunately, he didn't even touch the corner of the NPC guard's clothes!
His mind became much clearer instantly, and he shrank back, not daring to come any closer.
If he doesn't continue to move forward, other players will not come forward.
Even if there are many people, one or two of us who get to the front will always be killed by the NPC guards.
No one wants to be the “one or two” who get killed.
The players continued to attack Luo Zheyu from a distance.
Luo Zheyu did not fight back, but just moved around in front of the grocery store to avoid these attacks. And every time he stood, there were the most concentrated butterfly monsters behind him.
Butterflies kept falling from the sky, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of corpses.
Looking back, I saw that most of the butterflies flying above the grocery store had disappeared.
I feel very relieved.
But the players in front of him gradually became tired, and their attacks became more and more perfunctory.
"Brothers, cheer up and take these damn NPC guards away in one go!"
"But I can't hit it, brother."
"Yeah, after fighting for so long, I didn't even get a glimpse of this NPC's skin. It's really boring."
"Forget it. Why bother competing with an NPC..."
The leading player looked at Luo Zheyu angrily, feeling very unwilling.
Luo Zheyu didn't want to let them go just like that. There were only a small number of butterfly monsters left behind him, but there were several thousand of them.
Free labor, don't waste it.
His chin was slightly raised, the corners of his lips curled up, and a word slowly came out of his thin lips.
"I'm not targeting any particular person. I just want to say that everyone here is a loser."
Extremely provocative.
Players: !!!
Dry!
Being mocked by NPC!
"Today I'm going to let you taste the power of my sword!" a player shouted.
"Push this NPC!!"
"Don't stop me! I'm going to stab you with the final blow!"
The crowd was outraged and instantly filled with strength, and waves of attacking skills flew towards Luo Zheyu at high speed.
Luo Zheyu touched the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.
………
As the red-named NPCs and wild monsters were killed one by one by the players and NPC guards, the flames burned and devoured them behind them, and all the resentful ghosts and ghost aura in the entire city were swept away.
Luo Zheyu raised his head slightly and stretched out his hand. The scattered flames seemed to be summoned and gathered around him.
The flames, which were much larger than when they were released, fell into his hands one after another and disappeared.
This city is cleared.
But this is just a small part of the entire virtual online game.
The entire map is still very large, so we can only take our time.
Just do your best.
………
early morning.
Most of the talents at Star Ocean Game Company had just started working when they received many complaints and emails.
The game testing was still the same as before, the testers gradually became numb, with a detached expression on their faces.
The game "Jiang Hu Xia Yi" is beyond saving, just wait for it to die.
When the game company staff learned that a large number of new players were pouring into the game, they were in disbelief.
The director relaxed his face and smiled more and more gently, returning to normal.
The employees breathed a sigh of relief.
Most of the new players have heard about the frequent strange events in "Jianghu Xiayi" and come to watch or seek excitement.
It is said that the game contains supernatural events described in ancient miscellaneous books.
We have long entered the interstellar era where science is supreme, and legends of ghosts and spirits have gradually faded from people's minds.
At this time, hearing that there are new and strange supernatural events in the game, instead of the old jokes that have been played out in various programs, how can people not be excited and curious.
………
In this city, the NPCs and wild monsters that had been completely wiped out and possessed by vengeful ghosts gradually reappeared.
In just half a night, many resentful ghosts appeared out of nowhere.
Yes, out of thin air.
Luo Zheyu stopped what he was doing and sheathed the knife.
A tiny flame popped out from his fingertips, devouring the vengeful ghost floating from the body of the red-named NPC.
After completing the task, the flame, which had grown larger, couldn't wait to float back into his hands.
Where do these resentful souls that keep appearing in virtual online games come from?
