Chapter 259: The Conspiracy of the Holy See
After receiving the text message from the ghost dragon, the whole person of the divine dragon outside the Lich Land was stunned, unexpectedly, the most powerful force of his guild was actually defeated in an instant, and it was defeated silently.
"There is a change on the third floor, come to the rescue. - Ghost Dragon"
This is the text message of the ghost dragon at that time, although the tone of this text message has a strong command component, but it can also be seen that he doesn't even have time to have a private chat, so he can only use this kind of text message system.
He was now curious to know what had happened on the third floor, which prevented the player from even having a chance to have a private chat. However, since this text message, he has not been able to contact the ghost dragon, and the entire second layer of players has not been heard from, and everyone's avatars are displayed in gray when they are not online, but the "dead" is very clearly visible on his friends panel.
Off the line but the state of death in the situation, he never saw.
At this time, Shenlong suddenly received a voice call from the real world, and it was also an emergency communication system. It's just that it's not a problem, the problem is that this phone number is very familiar to Shenlong.
"President, it's me. We were deceived. The ghost dragon said angrily and helplessly on the phone.
"What's going on, what's going on on the third layer."
"Not a good thing. Ah, President, call all the members back immediately, you can't go to the Lich Land to rescue, we can't beat it. The ghost dragon suddenly said hurriedly, because he suddenly remembered that he had sent a text message before he died, and that text message was basically a wrong message for the head in the current situation.
"What's going on, you have to make it clear first." Shenlong was made nameless by the ghost dragon's tone of not big or small, and his startled behavior, which was not a good sign, so his tone was also very serious.
"Okay, I'll say it now, but, President, let the members stop all plans, or we'll be in big trouble." The ghost dragon smiled bitterly at this time, he could already imagine the expression of the dragon in the game.
"The Lich Land was suddenly closed just now, and our people haven't had a chance to enter it yet, so you can talk about what happened inside! What the hell is going on, why are you showing death even though you are offline? Also, who killed you, isn't there no danger in the third layer? ”
"President, alas. We were deceived by the mongrels of the Holy See, and the Corpse Witch was in the third layer. What is not dangerous anymore, this is all bullshit. Moreover, the Holy See, apparently aware of the return of the Witch to the Lich, uses us as cannon fodder. We lost a lot this time, all of them died, and they were transformed into undead creatures by the corpse witch. Now our character is still in the game world, but the system refuses to log us in, which really loses the lady and dismantles the army. The ghost dragon said all his thoughts in one go, although it was not according to the problem of the divine dragon, but it was explained clearly.
“…… How is this possible, the quest prompt doesn't say that! "Shenlong remembers that the guild task is just to knock down the boss of the second layer, and then open the door of the third layer.
"There's no mention of the Corpse Witch on the third floor! The people of the Holy See knew the news, but they did not tell us. And there is no mention of the third layer of bone witches. When we opened the stone door on the third floor, ten bone witches came out to greet us. Ten of them, those guys in the Holy See didn't even say a single one, and they said that as long as they defeated the guardians of the second layer, they could get the treasure of the third layer, this is simply a trick to mislead us, we have been deceived. The ghost dragon shouted hoarsely at the dragon, this time he was really angry.
He remembered very well that when the stone door on the third floor opened, the corpse witch said something extremely sarcastic, "Oh, I thought that the people from the Holy See would come here in person, it disappoints me so much, then you will die......
After that, it was the ten bone witches who joined forces to attack and killed all of them in an instant.
From this point to the end, the corpse witch did not look at them with a straight eye.
"Be quiet, take a deep breath, you are my military advisor, you can't mess around now." Shenlong saw that the ghost dragon's mood was very problematic, so he also suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and planned to calm down the mood of this subordinate first.
After a moment, he added, "Maybe even the people of the Holy See don't know about the Corpse Witch, but as for the Bone Witch, maybe they have forgotten." After all, in the Lich Lands, their abilities are very limited, limited...... Ah, my day, they have sent a large number of men over the past few days, and the number of people is still increasing. Fuck, we've been deceived, I'm at odds with the Holy See. At this time, Shenlong also remembered the problem in the middle, since the two councils received this task, the Holy See began to send a large number of personnel to the land of the lich. However, they have not taken action, but are still promoting cooperation between the two associations, which is obviously a problem.
Why would they call players to take action when they have a large number of additional personnel, and it is such a task of unknown significance. What is called opening the door of the third layer, this is clearly to let the player determine whether the corpse witch is in the third layer, this is clearly to let the player step on the mine, and then wave the army forward.
What level is the corpse witch, a hundred-level powerhouse, and the one in this is still a boss-level, which is not something that players can compete with now.
Now that Shenlong has understood what the Holy See is doing, they need a cannon fodder with good strength, so they use a reward that is very generous to the player but not worth mentioning to themselves, so that the two guilds obediently run to the position of cannon fodder.
"President, we can't trouble the Holy See yet, for now, our rewards are still in their hands. Moreover, our guild is not yet old enough to stand up to the Holy See, and we have to wait for the right time. The final victory must be ours. After hearing the curse of the divine dragon, the ghost dragon immediately calmed down, and said in the most insipid tone, as if this great shame had not appeared on him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shenlong's heart calmed down at the thought of that mission reward, and what he had to do now was to stop all the people in the Lich Land and reduce more casualties.
"Yanlong, you immediately let all the members go back to that wooden house, and then everyone goes offline, don't pay attention to the tasks of the Holy Court, all the tasks issued by the Holy Court, I will turn a blind eye." Shenlong said to the Yanlong in the Lich Land through the "Thousand Miles of Voice".
"This ...... Okay, I see. Yan Long thought about it for a moment and agreed.
In fact, when the Holy See received this strange task, some people expressed doubts. However, in the game world, there have been more strange missions, but I haven't heard of such a serious force as the Holy See will come up with these tasks, and it is a mission that takes the initiative to find the door, so I didn't spend too much energy to doubt whether there was a problem with this mission.
Yan Long, who was on the edge of the wooden house, immediately carried out the task of the president, and the information of retreat was transmitted to the captains of each team one by one, calling back those members who were still hesitating outside the black qi. It's just that Yanlong didn't let everyone leave, he deliberately asked the three thieves to stay and observe the situation here.
The situation is the same on the side of the gods, where most of the players who are about to go to the second layer stop at the last step. There were only a few bold and fearless people who rushed directly into the depths of the black qi, and then there was no news. However, there were a few players who didn't rush out too violently, and after entering the black gas, they immediately withdrew, and they looked cold.
And Mina, who is still staying in the outer layer of the black gas to observe, this time the black gas is obviously not the same as last time. When Minai walked into the black qi, he immediately felt a chill slowly rise from the bottom of his heart. It was a cold feeling mixed with despair and resentment, and from this black qi kept burrowing into Mina's body, paralyzing his consciousness and freezing his body, as if to assimilate him into a part of the black qi.
It's just that this feeling was easily broken in front of the guardian of the holy stone, and the bursts of coolness made his mind no longer stiff, and the bursts of warmth made his body no longer tremble.
Mina immediately glanced at his attribute panel, a black state called "Revenant Erosion" had appeared in the status bar since he came into contact with and breathed this black gas. This state is created by the spirit magic "Call of the Revenant", which allows the player to affect their consciousness and mind under the negative energy of the revenant, causing the recipient to be confused, thus reducing the player's reflexes. The decrease in reflexes will cause the player's strength to be affected, and the physical attributes will be reduced by one to three percent depending on the resistance, which is an all-round debuff state.
However, next to this black state of "ecstatic erosion", a holy state of "guardianship" is constantly playing a role of suppression, suppressing the effect of "revenant erosion". Although it can't clear the effect of this magic, it can at least allow Mina to move freely in the black gas.
Now, the skeleton soldiers around Mina have completely lost their due reactions, and they are all trembling, and in this strange scene, the friction between the bones makes a chilling sound. The ghost fire in their eyes was also constantly struggling, as if they were being tortured in the most cruel way. And a trace of black gas is emerging from this ghost fire, and then merging into this black gas, increasing the scale of black gas.
"They are the source of black gas." Mina thought to himself, but this massive number of skeleton soldiers was not something he could handle at all.
Mina looked at the ghost fire in their eyes seriously, as if he could see the soul that was burned by the flames, and this soul constantly exuded despair and resentment under this boundless torture, which was despair for himself and resentment towards the living, and this strong impact made his mind flutter.
I don't know why, maybe it's because of the faint influence of this "undead erosion", he only felt a sudden burst of anger in his heart, which made him want to destroy everything in front of him.
He lifted his staff and struck it on the skeleton's head. After that, the skeleton soldiers, who were obviously much more fragile, completely turned into powder and disappeared. And after this knock, he also came to his senses, and then he didn't dare to look at those ghost fires anymore.
Mina never imagined that although this game would produce such special effects that affect the player's mind and spirit, this feeling is not fake at all, it is terrifyingly real.
After making sure that he would not be affected by this black qi in his mind and body, Mina dared to walk towards the depths of the black qi.
For Tianhuo, a friend in the early days of the game, Mina has always remembered it. If it weren't for his help, Mina and the unscrupulous profiteers wouldn't have been able to go from redeeming equipment to where they are today, so although he knew that he couldn't save him, he still decided to lie down and do his duty as a friend.
At the same time, with a rub in his hand, a skill book turned into white light and ran into his body, which was his life-saving skill.
