Chapter 86: Arson on the First Day of the Third Cycle

Gamer World, July 15th.

The sky gradually darkened, and it was already night.

Li Feng has stayed at home the rest of the time except for necessary outings these days.

Study the 10 pages of Faranir's notes and the incomplete Book of Demons.

Because of his talent for quick understanding and basic alchemy knowledge, it was much easier for Li Feng to read those 10 pages of notes than last time.

At least it's no longer like reading from heaven.

In the process, Li Feng was also surprised to discover.

The Faranir notes that Susan had read were most likely the 10 pages in his hand.

Because Li Feng found the alchemy potion here that can turn Susan into a deformed meat tree.

And think of Susan, she is an employee of the extraordinary material trading market.

It is much easier for her to obtain extraordinary materials, even forbidden materials, than ordinary people, so it is not difficult to understand.

But then the question arises, is there any reason why Susan needs to be promoted to extraordinary?

As players who have experienced the current era, as long as they can survive, most people already want to lie down.

Moreover, for Susan, her promotion method still involves huge risks and costs.

With her gift of wisdom, even if she takes the path of a mortal, she can obviously live a good life in the game world.

So what is the reason that drives her to pay a huge price and be promoted to the extraordinary?

Li Feng asked himself, if they had not encountered the hunters from the abyss camp, they had no choice but to pay the price and drink the moon shadow potion, otherwise they would not have been so desperate in everything.

Moreover, Li Feng found these 10 pages of notes on the Mist.

The Mist was also the ship of the Hidden Pirates, and Susan happened to know those two pirates.

So, behind all this, is there some guidance and intervention?

Just like the devil in the sea, using the power of filth to affect the rats and corpses on the storm island.

Is there something out there that uses filthy power to seduce the people on the island to achieve its own goals?

So could this being be a demon, or would he have the same purpose as the demon?

He found some clues, but they brought about a bigger mystery. Li Feng felt overwhelmed when he thought about entering the game world and facing the zombies created by the devil.

But apart from the mystery, Li Feng solved something that had been bothering him.

It's the small round silver mirror.

This silver mirror was obtained by Li Feng from the Hidden Pirate.

At that time, according to 0344 in the chat channel, this thing was a relic, and its function was to control people's minds.

The two Hidden pirates escaped from the prison in the Ring of Earth precisely because they kept the silver mirror as a back-up.

But since the silver mirror came into Li Feng's hands, he has never figured out the reason.

Peeping Eye's explanation for it was very vague, and Li Feng himself had been busy with other things, so he ignored it.

In the past few days, he had been busy studying the broken Book of Devils, and he found clues about the silver mirror.

According to the Book of Demons, this mirror is a magic weapon made by tree elves in the north through a blessing ceremony.

In the Endless Sea, the tree elves have a much longer history than the human race, and their war with demons has lasted longer.

In the war, the tree elves summarized and created many weapons to deal with demons.

This silver mirror is one of them.

This mirror is called the Mirror of the Tree Spirit. If you don't understand its history, or you only see its function.

It is very possible to mistake it for some kind of relic that affects other people's spirits.

When the Tree Spirit Mirror was created, it was endowed with two abilities by the Tree Spirit.

One is to sacrifice part of one's soul to gain the ability to control the minds of others. This "other" also includes powerful demons.

This ability is very special in that it does not directly cause harm to demons.

But it can mentally control demons, which gives it a lot of room for maneuver in terms of tactics.

The second ability is to directly participate in the battle. The tree spirit mirror will absorb the demon's essence, preventing the demon from exerting his maximum ability.

‘Perhaps… this mirror can be used to deal with the thing deep in the cemetery of Wind’s Breath City. ’

In the game world, all the corpses in the Wind's Breath Cemetery suddenly stood up and became zombies attacking humans.

But Li Feng felt that there must be something behind them controlling them.

Li Feng remembered that when he was in the cemetery, he heard a roar deep in the cemetery.

The roar caused him to temporarily lose his memory and sanity.

Combined with the fact that zombies are related to mutated rats, and mutated rats are related to demons, then it is very likely that the ones controlling the zombies are the demons still hiding deep in the cemetery.

Looking at the broken Devil's Book in his hand, it is a pity that the specific power of the Tree Elf Mirror is not written on this fragment.

Li Feng hesitated in his heart. If it was just an itchy thing, it would be meaningless.

'probably not. ’

Li Feng suddenly shook his head. If it was just something of no use, how could the devil record it in his book.

I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already 10:50 pm.

The second cycle of the player world is about to end. In more than an hour, all surviving players will return to the game.

A few days ago, just two days after Li Feng killed Susan, Huang Yanyan came to his house.

Huang Yanyan brought a lot of fruits to Li Feng, and Li Feng made several dishes to entertain her.

During this period, Huang Yanyan suddenly asked Li Feng about the safety of the community, and asked if his home had anti-theft facilities, and inexplicably asked him to pay more attention to safety.

From Huang Yanyan's flashing words and her heavy dark circles, Li Feng understood that the police had learned some inside information from Susan's family.

This may be the best result.

"Tick, tick."

The second hand of the clock on the wall kept turning, and when the hour hand was facing 11 o'clock, the system notification appeared in front of all players.

[The second cycle of the game is about to end, and the camp selection begins. ]

[Choose your camp, Lawful/Abyss]

Li Feng looked at the system options in front of him, and without much hesitation, he directly chose Lawful.

He already had two professions, so there was no need to take the risk of choosing the Abyss camp.

[You have chosen the Lawful Camp]

[You get the permanent blessing "Firm Mind", and have a chance to resist and dispel the whisper of evil gods]

Thinking of other players, Li Feng opened the chat channel.

*: "Have you all chosen your side?"

*: "Well, only players who have completed three tasks can choose."

*: "Oh my god, it feels like it's time for us to go our separate ways."

*: "We must be lawful. There are so many weird things in the game world. If we are lawful, we can still survive, but the Abyss really can't."

*: "Yes, the permanent curse of 'Insanity Edge' alone is not something that ordinary people can bear."

*: "You are lucky, you still have a choice. People like me who haven't completed the tasks can only lie down."

*: "I am really curious about how many of us will choose the Abyss."

*: "There shouldn't be many people. After all, I think players are all normal people."

Just when the players were still discussing frantically, the system announcement appeared again.

[Announcement, the current number of players surviving in batch 22701 of αK49 Blue Star: 770]

[Number of players who can choose a camp: 650]

[Number of players who choose the lawful camp: 432]

[Number of players who choose the Abyss camp: 218]

[The third cycle of the game will start in 50 minutes]

[Happy game]

*: "What? So many people choose the Abyss?"

*: "Are you crazy?"

*: "Wait, why didn't the system change the chat channel? Is there no camp distinction in the chat channel?"

Not only other players, Li Feng was also stunned when he saw the number of people who chose the Abyss.

It seems that dual professions are really too attractive, even if they are cursed, it's nothing.

However, Li Feng thought about it, yes, didn't he kill Susan because of the dual profession?

If there is no hunter's damage avoidance, shooting bonus, and the corrupt parasites he accidentally obtained, he really has no confidence in dealing with the old player Susan.

Thinking about it this way, the 218 players who chose the Abyss are not incomprehensible.

Li Feng thought about it and looked at the chat channel again. It was rare that there was no message in the chat channel.

It seemed that everyone was very cautious.

No longer thinking about these, it was already 11:25, and Li Feng did some exercises to stretch his muscles.

Then he began to adjust the bedroom light.

When he left the game world, he was in the dark outside.

But the inner city was holding a banquet, the lights were bright, and there were fireworks in the sky, so it was not pitch dark.

So Li Feng adjusted the bedroom light to a brightness similar to that over there, and then he lay on the bed waiting to cross over.

As time passed, the system began to prompt the countdown of the last ten seconds.

[23:59:50]

[23:59:51]

...

[23:59:59]

"Bang!"

The grand fireworks bloomed overhead, and the disgusting stench hit him.

Li Feng looked around, and he was back again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As if to show off the wealth and status of Storm Island, fireworks in the inner city were set off in the sky.

The sound and fireworks attracted the zombies in the cemetery. They gave up Li Feng who was moving in the shadows and all ran to the inner city.

Li Feng, who was temporarily safe, was not idle. He climbed onto the roof as fast as he could.

The criss-crossing roads were already occupied by zombies, so he walked on the roof.

Fortunately, Fengxi City has a dense population and dense houses.

The eaves of the outer city are next to each other, and Li Feng climbed all the way, which was not too difficult.

Occasionally, when he encountered a house with a large gap, he used the shadows to shuttle, and soon, Li Feng had arrived outside the inner city.

Since most of the people living in the inner city of Fengxi City were dignitaries, in order to ensure their quality of life, Fengxi City used city walls and tall buildings to separate the inner and outer cities when it was built.

Only two city gates, one in front and one in the back, were left for people to pass through.

Now, the zombies were attracted and quickly rushed to the wide square in front of the inner city gate through the wide main road.

The screams in his ears became louder and louder. Li Feng, who had been shuttling on the roof, was almost close to the inner city gate.

He stood on a high place and looked at the gate from a distance. The first zombies to arrive caught the soldiers guarding the gate off guard and broke through the gate into the inner city to kill.

But after the generals and soldiers in charge of guarding the gate realized the situation, they immediately closed the gate, which quickly played a defensive role.

However, the cemetery buried several generations of people from Fengxi City, and the bones were like mountains. Now they have been transformed into zombies, and the number is also extremely large.

The gates were closed and the roads were blocked. Now, all the zombies were piled up at the gates.

They slapped the gates, piled up together, and piled higher and higher, which looked like a zombie siege.

Not only that, but more zombies came from the cemetery like a tide.

Li Feng knew that it would not be long before the gates could not hold up.

Looking around, Li Feng found a suitable three-story building next to the square in front of the gates.

There was a large terrace on the roof of the building, which was just what Li Feng wanted.

He came to the high terrace as quickly as possible, and then took out the wood, gasoline, and lighter prepared in the player world from his backpack.

The experience of his previous life told Li Feng that the best way to deal with zombie sieges was not with guns, but with fire.

"Boom!"

With the help of gasoline, the dry wood was immediately ignited.

After that, Li Feng threw the burning wood at the zombies in the square.

Once burned by the fire, the zombies instinctively ran around, and the fire spread across the square in an instant.

While Li Feng was fighting against the zombies, suddenly, a bright light like a knife flashed from the direction of the inner city from above the city gate.

As soon as the light appeared, it struck the zombies below the city gate.

The next moment, the zombies struck by the light fell like rain.

Looking at this light, Li Feng thought of the Holy Judge. He had seen Benjamin use a similar spell.

Passing through the darkness, Li Feng looked up at the city gate.

It turned out that it was the Red Falcon who struck the zombies with light just now.

Perhaps because Li Feng had passed on the message to him, the Red Falcon appeared above the city gate first compared to others.

Like Li Feng, after discovering that the zombies below were on fire, the Red Falcon also noticed that someone had a fire on the roof of a house not far away.

At this time, he also noticed Li Feng.

When he first received the golden dandelions sent by Li Feng, the Red Falcon was still half-believing and half-doubting.

Tonight, the ambassadors of the kingdom, the high-level representatives of the Earth Ring, and the diplomatic officials of other large islands all gathered at Storm's End to celebrate Jory Fell's success.

Li Feng's news was too exaggerated. Zombies have not appeared in the world for a long time.

And today is such an important day. The news has not been confirmed, so Hong Falcon dare not announce it rashly.

He could only greet his subordinates in advance, and then find a chance to get out of the banquet, and wanted to rush to the cemetery to confirm it in person.

If what Li Feng said was true, he would inform his subordinates to announce the news and organize the battle.

But when Hong Falcon arranged all these and just arrived at the gate of the inner city, he encountered the initial riot.

Finding that the situation was not right, he immediately asked people to close the gate, and then killed the zombies that had entered the inner city with the guards.

However, at this time, Hong Falcon had not realized the seriousness of the problem.

He thought that just as it was recorded in the book, only a few or a dozen zombies mutated and ran out of the cemetery to attack humans.

Until he came to the city gate and heard countless and extremely deafening knocks on the door.

Hong Falcon then realized that the zombie group mentioned in Li Feng's message was a real zombie group without exaggeration.

Finally, when Hong Falcon passed the message of accepting the challenge to his subordinates and then climbed the city gate to look down, he was dumbfounded again.

In the bright square, there were not a dozen zombies, nor hundreds of zombies, but thousands of zombies.

They came from the cemetery like a tide, one after another.

Among these zombies, Hong Falcon could see corpses of various degrees of corruption, some were relatively intact, and some were only left with a skeleton.

Looking at this scene, Hong Falcon was completely stunned.

He originally thought that it was just a small accident that would make Governor Fel lose face, but it became a major disaster that could directly kill all the lives in the city.

Hong Falcon felt that he had been through many battles, but when he saw this scene, his brain instantly went blank, and he had to force himself to stay calm.

But just when Hong Falcon didn't know what to do, he suddenly saw a fire in the zombie group.

The rapidly spreading fire blocked the zombies' originally very consistent attack.

'I actually thought of a fire attack, but who would do it in such a critical moment? '

Hong Falcon was shocked and immediately looked for the source of the fire.

Soon, in the dark night, he saw Li Feng setting fire on the roof of a small building.
