Chapter 248 Prelude

Zhang Yuanqing pressed his aching forehead, restrained his emotions, and took deep breaths again and again, resisting the chaotic and mixed will. In the process, his expression inevitably became distorted, and his emotions changed alternately.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and exhaled silently:

"I have almost tested my current limit."

For spiritual realm walkers of the same realm, the experience value is below 50%, and the limit is to devour five at a time, and the total limit is ten.

If there are more than ten, his spirit will inevitably collapse and split, and he will develop a second personality, or his temperament will change drastically and be unlike himself.

It is worth mentioning that these five dead ghosts increased Zhang Yuanqing's experience value by 6%, the illusionist by 2%, and the other four by 1%.

"My current experience value is 64%. If I have the Demon-Subduing Pestle, I can devour it without limit. According to the rule that the higher the experience value, the slower the improvement, I can devour the spirits of about 80 more players to push the experience value to more than 90%. The total number of people in the dungeon is only 183. To complete this is more difficult than breaking the record of the female marshal."

Zhang Yuanqing put aside the matter of increasing the experience value and summarized the information obtained from the residual soul.

Most of their precautions were repeated, but Zhang Yuanqing also found three new precautions.

Illusionist:

[4: The forest is dangerous, please do not eat colorful fungi and fruits]

Bewitching demon:

[5: During the long journey, if you feel unwell, you can pick wild fruits to satisfy your hunger. ]

Fire master:

[4: After dark, be careful of mountain ghosts. ]

"Now even the precautions on the signboard are self-contradictory. The outer area doesn't seem to be that simple. Although it's been almost two hours, I haven't encountered any major danger."

"Be careful of mountain ghosts after dark. The outer area needs to be passed within 5 hours. It's not dark at that time. Logically, this precaution should appear on the signboard leading to the middle."

Zhang Yuanqing fell into deep thought.

Based on the existing information, he has the following speculations about the gameplay of the outer area:

First, the precautions on the signboard belong to hidden tasks. You can explore them, but you can also not explore them.

Second, the precautions on the signboard involve the gameplay in the middle of the forest. After understanding the mystery in the precautions and entering the middle forest, you will gain certain advantages.

"That island country JK should be dead. I'm going to collect her residual soul and see her precautions."

Zhang Yuanqing pushed aside the vines hanging in front of him and returned the same way.

He shuttled between dense trees, bypassed bushes, stepped on the soft soil, and returned to the "battlefield".

The girl was not dead yet. Although she was beaten with blood by the vines and her back was covered with whip marks, she stubbornly avoided the fatal parts and survived the intensive whipping.

Zhang Yuanqing swept over the girl's delicate body, and the vines tore her clothes, revealing large areas of white and tender skin on her back, and the laces of her underwear were also torn.

Zhang Yuanqing was considering whether to possess her with a spirit to get rid of her, or wait for her to die from exhaustion in the encirclement of the tree demon. The girl found Zhang Yuanqing, rolled to avoid the whipping of the vines, and turned her head to call for help:

"Save me, please save me."

Her eyes were shining and her face was happy. She thought that the night wandering god of this continent was here to save her.

Zhang Yuanqing stood by the tree, playing the role of Fu Qingyang, with a cold face:

"Why should I save you?"

Except for Annie and Mr. Bill, he had never seen other foreign travelers, so he didn't mind talking to get information.

Hearing this, Asano Ryo was obviously stunned:

"We are all lawful camps, partners of justice, isn't it natural to help each other?"

Fuck partners of justice, who told you that lawfulness represents justice, are you too naive, or do I think too naively? Zhang Yuanqing pulled out a burst pistol:

"Wrong answer, prepare to meet death!"

Asano Ryo was stunned, as if he didn't expect that his normal answer would have such a result. The lawful camp is to help each other, and is a partner of justice.

This is the concept instilled by the education and environment she has been exposed to since childhood.

A few seconds later, she reacted, her face flushed, and her eyebrows raised:

"I understand, you are a fallen, an evil fallen! Shoot me, I will not seek your help anymore, if I die, there will be righteous people to avenge me.

"I have already prepared myself to die in the killing copy."

What is she talking about? Zhang Yuanqing originally wanted to take the opportunity to threaten, ask for benefits, get intelligence, get information from the billboard, etc., but he didn't expect that the pure and beautiful high school girl had a strong heart that would rather die than surrender.

Then force the information!

Zhang Yuanqing kept aiming, looked at the girl who was in danger because of the vines and branches, and asked:

"I can save you, but you have to answer a few questions for me. What's your name! "

If the island girl still acted like a chaste heroine, Zhang Yuanqing would not shoot, but would stand by and watch her die.

Although he was ruthless and decisive when killing three evil professions, Zhang Yuanqing had a psychological barrier when killing lawful professions.

Because there are more good people in lawful professions after all.

Killing a bad guy would at most make you feel uncomfortable, but you wouldn't feel too guilty. But if you kill a good person by mistake, any normal person with a conscience would have a knot in his heart and would not be able to overcome the moral hurdle.

"My name is Asano Ryo!"

The girl called out in a cooperative manner.

Hey, where is your backbone as a righteous partner? Zhang Yuanqing asked:

"Tell me the precautions you know, which are on the signboard."

The girl did not hesitate, and once again followed her heart's will and answered in a cooperative manner:

"One: Please do not bring fire, knives, or dangerous items up the mountain. Two: Please do not speak loudly in the mountains. Four: Be careful of animals, especially monkeys. Five: If you encounter a mountain ghost, you can ask the monkey for help. "

Be careful of animals, but if you encounter a mountain ghost, you can ask the monkey for help? This precaution is interesting. Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a few seconds and asked:

"Have you cut down a tree before?"

"It wasn't me who cut it, it was my companion. He accidentally cut down a tree, and as a result, several tree monsters appeared around. Fortunately, there were not many at the time, so we escaped." Asano Ryo took the time to glance at the two corpses in the distance and said:

"They are companions I met after entering the dungeon. They are from the mainland. After hearing that I am an islander, they are very enthusiastic and everyone should help each other. They are all righteous partners. "

They are all greedy for your body. Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart.

Through the questions and answers, he had a preliminary understanding of Asano Ryo's family background.

Asano Ryo was born in the Asano family, a chaebol of the island country. The Asano family is considered a half-spiritual family. There will be several spiritual walkers in the family every one or two generations.

Asano Ryo is one of the only three spiritual walkers in this generation. Her master is the deputy leader of the Qianhe Group, the official organization of spiritual walkers in the island country, and a level 5 saint.

Because of her outstanding talent and this relationship, she was valued by the elders of the family and promoted as one of the heirs of the Asano family.

It is worth mentioning that the backer of the Asano family is the Tianfa organization outside the country, the strongest lawful camp force in the world.

In addition, Zhang Yuanqing also found out the island The structure of spiritual realm practitioners in the country, there are no independent practitioners in the island country.

On the one hand, the number of spiritual realm practitioners is really rare, and the innate conditions are insufficient. On the other hand, the land area is not large, the population is dense, and the chaebols have strong control over society. As long as independent practitioners appear, they will be discovered immediately and then absorbed into the organization.

Therefore, the island country has only one organization affiliated with the government-the Qianhe Group.

And scattered semi-spiritual family.

It is true that there is no large-scale organization. Compared with the Five Elements Alliance and even the three major evil organizations, the Qianhe Group is just a small club. Zhang Yuanqing knows it.

Snap!

A vine hit Asano Ryo's lower abdomen. She groaned, holding her lower abdomen, her face pale, and said weakly:

"Please, please keep your promise! "

Are you too exhausted to use your passive skill? Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, leaned against the tree trunk, used Night Walk, and his spirit body controlled the bloodthirsty blade and whistled out.

"Puff puff puff~"

The bright willow blade drew a series of silver lines, cutting off the vines and tree roots that were pulling towards Asano Ryo, opening up an escape route for her.

Seeing this, Asano Ryo suppressed the pain and weakness, burst out with the potential of being on the verge of despair, and successfully escaped from the encirclement of the tree demon under the cover of the bloodthirsty blade.

"Puff~"

She fell heavily to the bottom of the tree covered with rotten leaves, gasping for breath.

Her clothes were torn, revealing her white belly and delicate belly button, but the skin was broken. The scars of flesh made the scene, which should have been full of temptation, become somewhat miserable.

Asano Ryo's chest rose and fell violently, her heart was beating overloaded, and her body was hungry for oxygen. She had no spare energy to care about the exposure of her spring light.

When she began to take a breath, she remembered that she was a famous beautiful girl after all, and her appearance and body had a strong attraction to young men.

She suddenly stopped breathing, pressed her chest, and looked around vigilantly.

At this time, a piece of clothing floated over and covered her face.

After a while, there was a movement in the bushes not far away, and the night wanderer with an ordinary appearance but a very cold temperament came out.

"Put on your clothes and follow me! "

Zhang Yuanqing said coldly.

"You, what else do you want to do." Asano Ryo realized that he was captured. This night wandering god of the continent did not intend to let him go.

Zhang Yuanqing said in a cold tone:

"You are a beautiful girl. Beautiful girls always get preferential treatment. I will not hurt you."

Just as Asano Ryo breathed a sigh of relief, he heard him add:

"From now on, you are my jungle guide dog!

What guide dog? It's clearly cannon fodder. Asano Ryo's face froze.

The bright red blood flowed along the tree trunk and seeped into the black soil. The smell of blood filled the windless dense forest.

Just after the battle, a group of people sat on the ground, panting and recovering their strength.

"It turns out that killing these tree monsters can also trigger violent abilities."

"Yeah, I earned 10 points this time, which is a good harvest."

"There are still three hours before the deadline. Don't rush to the middle of the forest. Let's hunt more tree monsters and mountain monkeys to accumulate enough points."

"You can also hunt guys with lawful professions. By the way, Baiwujinji, I know there is a monkey king in the outer layer. Let's hunt together. With Ayi and you, plus us, there are a total of twelve people. Even a saint can kill it."

Several rough men chattered and cast their eyes on the two leaders standing at the same time.

Baiwujinji, the bewitching monster, is about 26 years old, with regular features, sharp eyebrows, and a fierce aura, but his dress does not match the fierce aura at all.

Black T-shirt, large patterned shorts, flip-flops.

It doesn't look like he is here for adventure, but rather like a vacation.

Ayi is a handsome young man with a blank and cold look, like a robot or a beast without emotions.

The two groups met an hour ago and made a plan to hunt tree monsters to get points, which has continued until now.

Everyone's points increased by at least 10 points, and they gained a lot.

"Bai Wu Jin Ji, what are you daydreaming about?"

Seeing Bai Wu Jin Ji silent, a strong man asked dissatisfiedly.

"I'm looking at Yuanshi Tianzun's points." Bai Wu Jin Ji replied in a daze.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and quickly opened the scoreboard.

Suddenly he heaved a sigh of relief:

"Hey, I thought Yuanshi Tianzun's points suddenly skyrocketed and he was on the top of the list."

"It's still 20 points, and he dropped one place to 23."

"Our Ayi has 100 points. Is Yuanshi Tianzun just a name for nothing? Didn't the Five Elements Alliance brag about him being a genius at raiding dungeons?"

"Haha, I heard the Thousand Faces Elder bragging about him at the summit, and I thought this kid was so amazing. Now, he's thrown into the killing dungeon and his level is tested at once."

"It's a mule or a horse, and it needs to be pulled out for a walk."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Bai Wu Jin Ji frowned:

"So, do you think it is reasonable for Yuan Shi Tian Zun to rank so low? Do you think his record is exaggerated? Can his exaggerated record beat Zhao Cheng Huang?"

A series of questions made everyone's laughter stop.

They restrained their smiles and looked at Bai Wu Jin Ji in astonishment.

Somewhere in the forest, a young man with two swords on his back walked alone.

He stared at the void in front of him, with some focus, and he was checking the scoreboard.

"Something is wrong, Yuan Shi Tian Zun's ranking cannot be so low. Did he encounter some trouble, or did he deliberately not collect points?"

This is the nth time that Jiu Luo Yu has opened the scoreboard.

He didn't pay attention to Yuan Shi Tian Zun at first, but as time went on, he found that collecting points was not difficult, and he was surprised to find that Yuan Shi Tian Zun's ranking has never changed.

A dozen minutes ago, there was a sharp increase, but that's all.

This is a very unreasonable situation.

"What on earth is this guy planning?"

In a relatively open valley, Sun Miaomiao, Maoshan Warlock, and Yuan Ting stood on a mossy green rock, overlooking the battle in the valley.

Behind them were their Yin corpses.

The rushing water flooded the valley, forming a small lake.

On a stone protruding from the water was Zhao Chenghuang, who had turned into a ghost with a hideous face. White frost spread along the soles of his feet, and a thin piece of ice condensed on the edge of the stone.

His opponent was lurking in the water.

——"I am the only one" ranked first on the list of casual cultivators.

Sun Miaomiao frowned and said, "His item is indeed extraordinary. It can create a home field for water ghosts anytime and anywhere. It is not a false reputation to be ranked first."

The Maoshan sorcerer beside him laughed:

"But water cannot affect the spirit body. With a strong enough spirit servant, this person can be restrained. Zhao Chenghuang should be able to kill him."

The night wandering gods of Taiyi Sect exchanged spirit servants before entering the dungeon, and then gathered together quickly with the telepathy of the spirit servants and masters.

A few minutes ago, they encountered the lone wolf "I am the only one". The guy was arrogant and wanted to hunt down four night wandering gods by himself.

Zhao Chenghuang was happy to see the prey, so he sent Sun Miaomiao and the other two away and faced the enemy alone.

Seeing that it was difficult to determine the winner in a short time, Sun Miaomiao looked at Yuan Ting who was in a trance and complained:

"Yuan Ting, this is a killing copy, you are always absent-minded, did you damage your brain in the training camp?"

Yuan Ting said painfully:

"Where is Yuanshi Tianzun, where is Yuanshi Tianzun?"

The Maoshan sorcerer and Sun Miaomiao looked at each other and whispered:

"This guy is crazy."

"Alas, after all, Yuanshi Tianzun owes him a blood debt!" Sun Miaomiao frowned after saying this:

"By the way, why is Yuanshi Tianzun's score so low?"

The Maoshan sorcerer shook his head: "Maybe he encountered some trouble."

There was a bit of gloating in his tone.

Sun Miaomiao did not respond, his big black eyes fell, staring at the rock at the tip of his toes, thinking to himself:

With Yuanshi Tianzun's ability, if he took the initiative to collect points, he would at least be in the top three, it is impossible for him to be so behind, is it intentional? Did he find something? I really want to find him and ask about the situation.

But he has not accumulated points for a long time. The members of the Five Elements Alliance are probably very anxious now.

Under a giant pine tree, "My fate is in my own hands" tilted his head and looked at the two people more than ten meters away, with long black hair hanging down like a waterfall, saying:

"I met a climber, and from the conversation with him, I found that there are two camps hidden in this forest.

"But from the precautions you provided, it can be analyzed that there will be contradictions on the signboards, so, there are actually camps between the signboards? But this is unreasonable. "

The two people more than ten meters away are Tianxia Guihuo, who is muscular, and Tianxia Guihuo, who is tone-deaf.

The two sides just fought a battle, but there was no winner. At Tianxia Guihuo's suggestion, they shook hands and sat down to exchange information.

People with real intelligence will not be dominated by the camp. Even if they are in different camps, it is wise to cooperate appropriately when there is no life-and-death conflict.

Tianxia Guihuo said lightly:

"First of all, we can't be sure whether the contradictions in the precautions given on the notice board are really contradictory. Secondly, the contradictions on the notice board do not mean that there are also camps between the notice boards."

My fate is in my own hands, thinking for a few seconds, and said with a smile:

"That makes sense!

"I think Yuanshi Tianzun hesitated because of this, but we understood it too late and had already made a choice."

Tianxia Guihuo sneered:

"That's you, not me!"

Asano Ryo explored forward cautiously, walking very slowly.

The Night Walker behind him kept urging him: "Hurry up, you won't die."

The purpose of their trip was to find the signboard in the middle of the forest.

If you can't die, why don't you go ahead, Baga. Asano Ryo complained in his heart.

Behind her, in addition to the young Night Walker, there was also a tall and plump auntie; a big sister with a delicate face.

After seeing that the Night Walker had a companion, Asano Ryo gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

If she stayed quiet, she might still be alive. If she ran away, she would probably be chased and blocked by three people. It would be a dead end, and it would be useless to show her craftsmanship.

"Wang Tai, is your name really Wang Tai?" Asano Ryo asked as she walked:

"Why don't I see you on the leaderboard?"

She kept looking for Wang Tai's name on the leaderboard, but couldn't find it.

This girl seems to have no emotional intelligence. Zhang Yuanqing said calmly:

"What does it have to do with you?"

Wang Tai is a pseudonym. I believe that the Peony Fairy has discovered it long ago, but a young woman is a young woman. She has been in the big dye vat of society and has enough experience and mind.

Along the way, he never mentioned why Wang Tai was not on the scoreboard.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't care about his pseudonym being seen through, because he changed his appearance, put away the props used in the ring match, and imitated Fu Qingyang in his personality. The most important thing is that his Yin corpse has changed.

The Peony Fairy couldn't rely on imagination and guesswork to lock his identity.

While walking, the Peony Fairy suddenly said "Huh" and her face became ugly.

Zhang Yuanqing tilted his head and said:

"What's the problem?"

Peony Fairy shook her head and said uneasily:

"I just feel something is wrong. It's not that there is something wrong with us, but Yuanshi Tianzun. He, his ranking is too low

"He must have encountered some trouble. He is an important support for our official walkers. Don't let anything happen to him."

It's only been two hours since he entered the dungeon. Yuanshi Tianzun, who was highly expected, was left behind by Zhao Chenghuang, evil professions, and folk casual cultivators.

Peony Fairy couldn't help feeling anxious.
