The difference between the 2.0 version of the main story "Dark Resurgence" and the 1.0 version of "Crimson Ceremony" is that this large-scale mission does not require a so-called NPC commander, and players can explore and adventure in the spirit world on their own.

This is equivalent to opening a large dungeon with a high degree of freedom for all players, and the monster kills in it can't be killed, and the map is ridiculously large, enough for them to brush for a long time at this stage.

To explain from the results of the discussion at the official meeting, the territory of the spirit world is too vast, even if the major forces send high-end combat forces to lead, it is difficult to achieve more effective results, and the empire and the church do not have so many people, it is better to simply let the "undead strangers" flood into the spirit world on a large scale and act independently, so that the traces of polluted creatures can be found more quickly.

The number of undead strangers is huge, and they have the characteristics of immortality, which is just right for fighting against the tide of pollution, and the major forces only need to pay some resources as a reward to effectively reduce their own losses.

In this way, not only did it respond to the prince's call and obey the orders of the empire, but it also did curb the spread of pollution to a certain extent.

It has to be said that the strategic approach proposed by Archon Jack, the generous council, is indeed the best solution at this stage, and it was quickly recognized by many high-level forces.

For a while, Chen Lun's regional popularity skyrocketed by more than a dozen points again.

Of course, if the "undead stranger" encounters a powerful monster in the spirit world that is difficult to resist, and the various forces have also thoughtfully formulated a coping strategy for them, it is "asking for help and shaking people"!

Generally speaking, the presence of a single powerful polluting organism, or a large number of polluting clusters, is accompanied by the presence of a pollution source...... Therefore, the major forces can use the information transmitted by the players to send elite transcendent teams to eliminate pollution sources one by one.

It's simple and efficient.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Empire, the Church, and the high-ranking forces of the major powers, the players are not only the main force, but also serve as cannon fodder and spies.

Easy-to-use, inexpensive, and recyclable have become the core labels of "Immortal Outlander".

The small group of high-level play, led by Dongyang Polaris, is moving aimlessly in the spirit world at the moment.

In the blue vision, although you can see some vague outlines of the present world, it is plausible, and all the scenes here seem to be full of abstraction.

One second they were walking on a stone pavement, the next they might be floating on a twisted river, unable to distinguish their direction or know where they are.

Therefore, Dongyang and the others only hope to encounter the polluted creatures quickly and have a good hunting moment.

It didn't take long.

As everyone advanced, they found that the scene had changed again, and after a strange stirring and distortion of the vision, the surroundings seemed a little dim, and the originally open blue vision became a little cramped.

"We seem to be in an underground structure?"

Su Keying looked around and judged by the vague outline.

"Well, it's kind of like a dungeon...... I saw the shadow of the iron bars of the cell, and the torches hanging on the walls. ”

Epide nodded.

At this point, the sharp-eyed centaur seemed to have noticed something, and he pointed to the end of the aisle, reminding:

"Something seems to be coming."

The crowd stared in the direction he was pointing, and indeed saw several humanoid shadows slowly approaching them, and at the same time, there were loud thrashing sounds in the silence.

Syllable!

Crackling!

Everyone held their breath, and Dongyang gestured to them in silence, each of them comprehending, taking out a flintlock pistol or a trick, ready to fight at any moment.

As the shadows drew closer, they finally saw each other's true colors.

It was three hideous-looking "humans", their coarse linen clothes had long been torn and disgustingly stained with dirt such as feces, blood, and dirt. They all clutched a leather whip in their hands, covered with rusty iron spikes, and whipped their bodies incessantly, leaving bloody wounds.

"It's a polluting creature!"

"Fuck it! Just three, afraid of a hammer! ”

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, Kotou Jin greeted him and directly exerted his sequence ability, his body was raised a lot, and his bulging muscles rushed forward.

Through investigation, everyone learned that the name of this polluted creature was "the person who died by whipping", and the level was between level 35 and 40, and they immediately knew the bottom of their hearts.

"Gather fire to kill the one at the front first, and be careful not to accidentally injure your teammates."

After Dongyang reminded him, he picked up the flintlock pistol and pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang......

Gunfire erupted and fires erupted.

The small group of people shot one after another, orderly in the chaos, obeyed Dongyang's command, and concentrated fire on the "whipping dead" that Goutou Jin first encountered.

For a moment, the polluted monster only had time to swing two whips at the dog-headed gold before it was torn apart by the fire in an instant, and the other two beside it quickly followed suit.

Everyone received a kill reward hint, and even if the team split the experience evenly, each received a few hundred, which is not a small amount.

"Shhh...... Not to mention, it hurts me a lot. ”

Doghead Jin squatted down, resisting the urge to gag, pulling through the remnants of extraordinary materials in a mass of flesh and blood, and as he spoke, he fished out six bloodshot eyeballs.

"After all, the level is there, the damage is still very high, and you and Forgotten Wuji can bear it in the team."

The dragon king slapped the ass at the right time.

"That is, the team must have a tank pulling monster, otherwise how can you crispy skin output with peace of mind."

The dog-headed Jin Sao Bao smiled.

Polaris cast a sympathetic look at the crowd and whispered the life of the tool man.

Under the command of Dongyang, everyone collected the spoils of war, intending to distribute them after today's operation, so the group continued to advance into the depths of the dungeon.

Then they came to a more spacious hall, and in the blurred vision they could see a number of torture tables, as well as iron chains and shackles inlaid on the walls.

More humanoid polluted creatures approached them.

There are not only the "flogging dead men" I just met, but also the "hammered dead people" and "burned dead people", holding a huge wooden mallet and a large candlestick.

The level of the new monster was higher, above level 40, and the battle lasted for nearly ten minutes, and it took everyone to clean up the twenty or thirty polluted creatures, and each felt a little tired.

"It's like a church dungeon, so many prisoners who have been executed by capital punishment, but how did they become polluted creatures?"

Goutoujin wiped the blood stains on his body and asked with some confusion.

"I don't know."

Oblivion shook his head.

Bang bang bang bang ......

At this moment, a dense burst of heavy footsteps came, and the small group of high-level players turned their heads to look. At some point, they were surrounded by a group of jailers dressed in red robes and wearing white mad masks.

To their surprise, the jailers' bare chests, their visibly necrotic skin, were imprinted with the pattern of a red apple.

"The Red Apple Church?!"

"! Version 1.0 villain deceitful corpse! ”

The dragon king shouted exaggeratedly.

"Let's get rid of the blame first."

Dongyang said in a deep voice.

The jailers were armed with a bizarre long-handled weapon with crescent-shaped jaws at the top, sharp edges on the outside and metal tines on the inside, which, once locked around the neck, could be decapitated with a single tug.

They are also obviously tainted monsters, and their level is quite high, reaching about level 45, and they surround small groups in a swarm, making it difficult for them to get out of trouble for a short time.

Fortunately, Kotou Jin and Oblivion Wuji took the "Minotaur Exclusive Potion" and turned into two tall bull monsters, causing most of the damage to everyone. Polaris also played a key role in the timely manner, constantly throwing cards from behind that that were comparable to high-speed blades, killing the jailer with precision and efficiency.

If a teammate is accidentally injured, he will also use magic to "change people" and exchange places with cards in time to help them out.

When the battle was over, Polaris didn't even use his hole card transformation skills, which made Pumpkin Girl and others regret that they couldn't see Beizige's "big crocodile" form.

"Hoo ......"

Dongyang wiped his sweat and took out a towel to wipe the burnt plasma on his fist. He had just smeared the flammable oil of [C-Class Trickery-Scorching Dance Partner] on his hands, and the effect was quite outstanding, and he burned five or six jailers to death with a pair of flesh fists.

"The main line intensity of the new version is indeed stronger, and the combat frequency is a bit high...... It took most of our energy at once, and we had to take a break. ”

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of "thirst potion" and drank it.

Doghead Jin and Oblivion Wuji cleaned up the wreckage all over the ground and counted the loot, and the rest of the people couldn't find fault with this disgusting environment, so they had to find a slightly cleaner place to sit down and drink some potions to recover.

At this time, Polaris, who was leaning against the wall, frowned.

"My passive skill, 'Spiritual Intuition', has bad omens, and it seems that something very dangerous is coming towards us in this dungeon."

When everyone heard this, they quickly got up.

As soon as Kotoujin finished picking up the loot and was still bending over, he saw a large disgusting piece of fatty fatty tissue rapidly spreading on the ground in front of him, and there was even mold growing on it.

"it...... What is this?! ”

He and Oblivion stepped back and stood alongside the others.

Everyone looked in the direction where the "fat fungus blanket" had spread, and it was actually flowing out of a strange door.

Chenxi turned his head to Honey Yuzu, who nodded, took off the longbow on his back, and drew an arrow from the quiver at his waist, and drew the bow and arrow.

With a thud, an arrow with a dazzling starlight shot straight into the dark door, illuminating the scene inside.

Everyone in the small group couldn't help but widen their eyes.

On the floor of that room, there was a huge "growing" giant sarcoma, almost filling the entire room! Seven or eight bulging buns of meat were squirming, and the blood vessels on them were beating vigorously and rhythmically!

A man who could vaguely be seen to be a priest stood on top of the sarcoma, only half of his body exposed, but it had clearly become a part of the sarcoma, and the seven orifices kept flowing out of a black-red viscous liquid.

Polaris threw out the probe, his eyes staring.

"Be careful! I can't find the panel data for it......"

Everyone was shocked.

"You can't even see Brother Beizi? Isn't this guy seventy or eighty levels up?! Can we beat it? ”

The dragon king was startled and hurriedly said.

"Don't act rashly, this should be a source of pollution!"

Dongyang judged, and he turned his head to look at the others.

"To be on the safe side, we'd better tell Jack about the situation with the 'Pale Seal', and leave this kind of thing to the organization to solve...... You won't get a kill reward, but at least you'll get an intelligence reward. ”

Everyone looked at each other, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

The adventure in the spirit world has only just begun, and they don't want to be too aggressive so as not to waste the resurrections...... And now that the big guys have been promoted to Sequence 8, the punishment of the first level dropped by death is quite serious.

Seeing that his teammates agreed to his proposal, Dongyang directly interacted with the "Pale Seal" and sent a message for help to the regiment leader Jack.

Then, he whispered:

"Let's keep quiet and retreat to the previous area ......"

Just as everyone slowly retreated, the dragon king on the side of the team suddenly felt his feet slip, as if he had stepped on something.

"Blanching ......"

He looked down and immediately cursed.

I saw that those fatty fat tissues unconsciously spread from the dark shadows to the feet of everyone, and he stepped on them!

Puff puff!!

In the room, the big sarcoma suddenly bloomed, bursting open one after another, and out of it rolled out of the blood-stained jailers and the tortured to death.

The "priest", who was half exposed above the sarcoma, suddenly twisted his face, raised his withered hand, and shook the filthy bell that had grown together.

Jingle Bell!

The tainted humanoid monsters rose from the ground, screaming and wailing in a sound that was uncomfortable and even terrifying.

The meat bulge burst open and grow, and over and over again, one polluted monster after another rushed towards the high-playing small group.

"There are too many of them, don't hold on, let's withdraw first!"

Dongyang shouted calmly.

Bang bang bang......

Bald and Nana shot behind them with flintlock pistols, and everyone hurriedly fled in the direction they came.

However, they found that the cells along the way were strangely opened, and a group of polluted monsters who had been tortured and died were also rushed out of them, blocking the back road.

"Damn!"

Kotou Jin gasped and cursed.

Polaris' expression was solemn, these polluted monsters were indeed difficult, even he couldn't kill like mowing grass, and he had to rely on the cover of his teammates to kill them one by one...... But now the situation has been surrounded, and it is difficult to kill it.

"It's really unlucky, I just entered the spiritual realm and encountered the source of pollution......"

The dragon king ran out of bullets and grumbled as he reloaded.

"It's over, I'm afraid this life is going to be confessed."

Just when everyone's hearts were heavy, a tall figure appeared out of thin air and crossed the encirclement of the polluted monster at high speed, leaving behind the remnants of the Dao.

The sound of slashing was incessant, accompanied by the muffled sound of flesh tearing, and one by one the jailers and the tortured people were dismembered and fell.

When the small group came back to their senses, they saw the wreckage on the ground, blood mixed with the fat fungus blanket, piling up a thick layer. All the polluting creatures died, without exception.

The familiar figure of the man in the black hat stood not far away, carrying a silver thin sword, and was turning his head to signal to them.

"Mr. Jack!"

Dongyang hurriedly greeted.

Everyone was amazed at the speed with which the leader of the organization came to support, and it was only a few minutes before they rushed over.

"My brother Jack is so handsome......"

The end laughed and took several screenshots in a row.

However, Jack didn't say much, and after bowing his head, he walked into the door alone, and immediately inside he didn't know what was happening, and there was a terrible loud noise.

Rumble!!

Purple swords overflowed from the door like a flood that burst the embankment.

Even the whole dungeon is crumbling.

The already vague blue vision began to completely crumble until everything slowly dissipated and turned into an open suburban scene.

The black-hatted man walked towards them with a silver cane, and the huge sarcoma behind him was gone, leaving behind a cracked, grotesque silver-white "beetle" the size of a basin, and a floor full of otherworldly materials.

"Well, your information is timely, this is indeed a source of contamination, and I have now removed it......"

Chen Lun said to them with a smile.

In fact, the reason why he was able to come so timely was that this was not his own body, but the "incarnation of fraud" who had been wandering in the spirit world for a long time. Not only the avatars, but also the circus cadres, his Jinbei Councilors, and even Mr. Bottle and Pot are all sent by him, and according to the player's request for help, they rush to the designated location to destroy the corresponding pollution source.

Soon after the main quest officially began, he found that he could once again share the kill rewards of his players, just like during the Western War.

This piqued his interest to a great extent.

The promotion of the Sage is imminent, and it is not a bad thing to accumulate more experience points.

"Teacher, is that beetle the body of the source of pollution?"

Polaris looked at the corpse of the silver-white bug and wondered.

"So to speak."

Chen Lun nodded.

"This bug is called 'Son of the Old Gods' Didak, and there is not one of the most terrifying monsters in the entire pollution disaster. And their bodies are flowing with the filthy blood of the source. ”

"Mr. Jack, the polluted creature we just met seems to be from the Red Apple Church......"

Dongyang said in a deep voice.

"Well, I've already probed. If nothing else, the fact should be that the 'Spirit Turbulence' has captured a dungeon stronghold of the Red Apple Church, and this Didaq Bugman happens to have devoured the strongest priest among them and contaminated the entire stronghold......"

Chen Lun said softly.

In fact, he was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that the Red Apple Church, which had been temporarily offline, would reappear in the player's field of vision in such a situation.

The small group nodded as if they didn't understand.

"Alright, I have other important things on my business, it's time to go. Continue your hunt for polluted creatures in the spirit realm...... If you encounter a tricky monster again, you can notify the circus as you did just now, and there will be cadres to help you solve it. ”

"Huh! My good brother Jack! Don't go! ”

Tail Yin wanted to run over and pull him, but Chen Lun, the avatar of fraud, had already pinched the brim of his hat, turned around and strode away.

She chased after her, only to find that Jack had disappeared without a trace before she had run two steps.

She was so angry that she stomped her foot and cursed.

Chen Lun's body has already found a little clue about Carmen through divination in the fairyland, and is planning to let the deception incarnate go to the depths of the spiritual world and look for it at the end of the darkness.

'Hope for something......

He shuttled through the spirit realm, and his eyes were deep.
