Chapter 23: The Ghost of the World
The two left the scene of the group fight and continued to march.
Pass through a valley overgrown with grass. The autumn breeze is sassy and sparsely populated. Half-human-tall yellow grass looms with small monsters such as elk, wild wolves, and more.
These monsters all have the corresponding species names on the top of their heads. There are two types of name colors. For example, the word "elk" on the top of the elk's head is yellow, and the font on the top of the wolf's head is red.
The difference is that monsters with yellow fonts in their names will not actively attack people, and will not fight back unless humans actively attack them. Monsters with red fonts, on the other hand, will attack all human characters that appear within a certain distance of their field of vision. It will automatically pursue the human character until it has left a certain distance from its place of birth, then will not abandon the pursuit.
At this time, Sun Yimin noticed the whistling sound of arrows cutting through the air in the distance, accompanied by the wail of some kind of beast. He turned his perspective to search, and found that not far away, a male "phantom bow" was constantly shooting arrows, slaughtering monsters such as elk and wild wolves in the wilderness.
The male phantom bow character is muscular, rugged and savage, and shows a fierce murderous aura in his gestures. Violent arrows passed, and mobs continued to fall like weeds, and soon, new monsters continued to spawn on the ground out of thin air.
Sun Yimin looked at the two lines of words above his head, the first line said "Senluo Tang" [hall master], and the second line was the character's name: "Human ghost". The name seemed familiar to Sun Yimin, and he remembered that he had just appeared in the group fight near the entrance of the Guyao Cave dungeon.
He right-clicked on the ghost in the world to check the character attributes, and it showed that the combat power was 270996, and he was a player of the golden rank. Character level 70. Weapon forging level is +9.
Sun Yimin asked the goddess on the side curiously: "He's all at full level, what are you doing to kill these level 60 monsters?" I don't have much experience. ”
"Maybe it's to hand in a task, or to collect medicinal herbs in the wild," the goddess explained, "The mobs will interrupt the collection action, so you have to clean it up first." ”
"Medicinal herbs...... And what kind of gem mine did those people grab just now, and what did they do? Sun Yimin asked.
"Medicinal materials are used to refine pills, and gem ores are used to refine gemstone rough stones, and they are used to synthesize gems inlaid on equipment." As soon as the goddess's words fell, a faint red mist appeared on Sun Yimin's screen, and then, a huge red number "-9866" appeared above his head.
At this time, he noticed that the name of the "human ghost" in the distance had changed to orange. He was wondering what this color change meant, when a system prompt popped up in the information box in the lower left corner, immediately explaining the point: "The [Human Ghost] has launched an active attack on you, and you and all team members are already in a state of legitimate defense against him, and you can fight back at will without increasing the guilt value." ”
Sun Yimin thought that the map area where he was currently located was a non-safe zone. Players can attack each other. I also remembered the concept of "attack mode" mentioned by the goddess earlier.
Come to think of it, this human ghost has already turned on the attack mode. However, before the human ghost launched an attack on Sun Yimin, Sun Yimin saw that the name on the top of the human ghost's head was still green, which indicated that Sun Yimin could not attack the human ghost (unless Sun Yimin himself turned on the attack mode).
And once the human ghost attacked, in Sun Yimin's opinion, the color of the top of the human ghost's head turned orange. Orange means that the opponent can be targeted. In other words, at this time, Sun Yimin can launch a free counterattack against the ghosts in the world without turning on the attack mode. This is known as the "state of justifiable defense".
It's just that Sun Yimin still doesn't quite understand what the sin value in the system prompt just now means.
"Get out of the way." As soon as the goddess uttered these three words on the team channel, Sun Yimin's screen had turned black and white (the color of the interface for the character's death).
The dialog box that pops up in the center of the screen says, "[Human Ghost] has killed you and has been automatically added to the list of enemies." Do you want to go back to the city and be resurrected? ”
(Normally, a character can be revived after dying in the wild, but can only return to a nearby town safety zone after resurrection.) Unless you use an item called "Tenka Life Renewal Pill", you can revive in place. )
Sun Yimin was still hesitating to confirm or cancel, but found that the goddess Wuxin was already dead in the grass not far away. He was at a loss for a moment, waiting for the goddess to react and give instructions at this moment.
"Why are you killing me!" The goddess questioned in a nearby channel in the chat area.
The ghosts of the world did not respond, but they saw him continue to slaughter the beasts as if nothing had happened. No response for a long time.
Seeing that the ghost seemed to have an arrogant attitude, Sun Yimin posted on a nearby channel: "Hey! Why are you killing me for no reason? ”
After about 20 seconds, he saw a message from the ghost on a nearby channel: "Come back from the fight, forget about the mode." ”
It's just 8 words, and there is not half a word to show the slightest apology.
The goddess did not say anything else. Sun Yimin couldn't hold it back, and reminded on a nearby channel: "Since it was a mistake, you should apologize to us." ”
After saying that, he waited for the other party to respond.
However, the "ghosts of the world" continued to shoot arrows in the same place as if nothing had happened, and from time to time arrows slashed over their "corpses" and let out a sharp whistling.
To Sun Yimin's ears, this voice was like an arrogant and rude response from the other party, and this response was also like an unscrupulous humiliation in his eyes.
At this time, he saw the goddess calmly instructing him on the team channel: "You just lie where you are and don't get up, I will go back to the city to be resurrected first, and then find your location from the map and come back here." ”
Sun Yimin did so and continued to lie on the ground, thinking that this goddess probably didn't have the Tianxiang Life Renewal Pill on her body, so she needed to be resurrected to the town.
He lay on the ground and continued to accuse the ghost: "Hey, human ghost, you should apologize to us! ”
The other party continued to remain silent, which seemed to be expected by him.
At this time, the goddess had already arrived from the city gate, and Sun Yimin "died" back to the city in time. However, it was found that the health after resurrection was only half of the original (this is the rule of the game, the character cannot be resurrected at full health after death). Hurriedly found some blood-restoring medicine in the package and ate it, and then hurried to the place where the incident occurred.
On the way, I received a system prompt message: "Your teammate [Goddess Heartless] was killed by [Human Ghost]." ”
Sun Yimin rushed to the destination, and sure enough, he saw the goddess once again in the wilderness. The human ghost, on the other hand, only loses a fraction of its health. Come to think of it, just now the goddess was unconvinced and ran back to fight back against the ghosts in the world, but she couldn't beat the other party and was killed.
At this time, he noticed that not far from the ghost, there was a Baihua professional character named "Light Smoke in the World", who was adding blood to the ghost's healing. Looking at the name, she and the ghost in the world should belong to a game couple.
He clicked to view the other party's attribute panel, and sure enough, his guess was confirmed. The character attribute spouse column of the ghost in the world reads Light Smoke in the World. The same is true of light smoke in the world.
At this time, Sun Yimin regained some reason, and after considering the current state of affairs, he quickly came to two conclusions: First, this ghost in the world is not good. The second is that at this time, even if he knows that he is not the opponent of the ghost, he has no choice but to bite the bullet.
Sun Yimin wielded his spear, used a "Wind Rush" skill (corresponding to the number 1 button), and rushed forward with an arrow step, knocking the ghost to the ground. Then he turned around and unleashed the "Deadly Edge" (corresponding to the number 2 button) to stab the ghost on the ground. I was pressing the 3 button, but I saw that the ghost dodged with a rolling spell, and got up and used a speed up skill to quickly move away. Then he turned around and faced Sun Yimin's "King Xiang", moving backwards while sending a rain of whizzing arrows. Since King Xiang is a melee class, in order to inflict attack damage on the ghost, he can only brave the rain of arrows to chase desperately, but no matter how he chases, he can never get close to his body.
In this process, Sun Yimin's eyes kept flooding with red blood mist, and a string of red numbers with negative signs kept rising above his head. Soon, his screen turned black and white again without any suspense.
Since the last time I learned the beginner's tutorial on the official website, Sun Yimin has only gained a general understanding of the game. However, I am not very familiar with the various combat skills of this class.
The Overlord class has more than a dozen skills that can be used, each with a specific role. But all he knows so far is: a series of skills represented by the number keys from 1 to 10. But I don't know how to use it, so I just press it blindly.
At this time, Sun Yimin was lying on the ground, a little at a loss, so he had to ask Liu Ronghua for help.
It's just that this guy is busy with the wind and snow at this time. He explained that he and Yue'er were in a dating quest scene and couldn't quit. Let the goddess find her own helper.
Sun Yimin had no choice but to continue lying on the ground, not far from the grass, the goddess lay unintentionally and did not take the initiative to say a word. This made Sun Yimin, a rookie novice, at a loss for a while. Just because he is a man, he is helpless about the humiliation of his female compatriots, and his heart is full of anxiety and shame.
was depressed and entangled, but saw a silver-white figure flash in the grass.
The white shadow pounced on the ghost in the world with lightning speed, and a blue light passed out, and the ghost was already surrounded in a light blue transparent ball of light, unable to move. Sun Yimin thought that this should be a control skill that could lock on to the enemy in a short period of time.
The white-clothed knight took the opportunity to launch a series of stormy attacks, and as the silver-white figure continued to teleport around the ghost, and let out a piercing knife scream, the health of the ghost in the world began to drop rapidly. After 5 seconds, his control state was automatically unhooked, and he was about to get up and evacuate, but before he could take a step forward, his body was frozen in place again, and a Z appeared above his head.
At this time, the white-clothed knight stopped, facing the ghost, and unhurriedly brewed a dark blue glowing sphere with his right hand, and said something in his mouth. Then he suddenly put his hands together and pushed forward, and a huge ice pick stretched forward from the ground in front of him, passing through the ghost's body, only to see the ghost fall to the ground in an instant, and cry for his life.
The short slaughter was bloody, but it also showed a violent beauty.
Since the killing time took place in just a dozen seconds, the nearby "light smoke in the world" didn't even have time to heal her lover, and the ghost in the world was already dead.
But at this time, the white-clothed knight stopped attacking, and it didn't seem to be in the light smoke of the world not far away. And the light smoke in the world seems to be because he knows that he is not an opponent, and he does not attack the white-clothed knight.
Sun Yimin looked at the chivalrous man in front of him, wearing a silver-white armor, and his weapons were two short knives with strange shapes, medium stature, long silver-white hair tied into a bunch, a thin face, and a cold gaze.
Two lines of text on top of his head. The first line: "Qiu Shuangzhai [helper]", and the second line reads "Murong Chunxue".
