Chapter 558

{Directly behind my location, 2.3 kilometers away, within 10 meters from left to right}

Qianhua actually wanted to see who it was before speaking, so she hesitated a little after hearing this, but Kaguya gave the coordinates without hesitation.

{Okay, remind that Li Xiaoxiao, I’m ready to start}

The next moment, with Gao Hai's calm voice echoing in the spiritual link, the power of blessing began to mobilize.

Buzz——

The suffocating and powerful aura spread in an instant.

Li Xiaoxiao, who was walking at the front, was slightly startled and looked back. Then he was stunned after hearing the explanations given by Kaguya and Qianhua through the temporary spiritual link. He didn't know what reaction he should make now.

Immediately afterwards, an aerial bomb with a very striking shape emerged from Kaguya's side, then flew into the high sky and flew towards the coordinate area she gave at an extremely fast speed. Provoking a violent sonic boom.

Second bomb, start.

The immune targets were designated, Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Li Xiaoxiao, and the corpses of the surrounding villagers who followed Li Xiaoxiao.

In fact, when the distance is more than two kilometers, there is no need to carry out vaccination nomination. However, Gao Hai was worried that this unknown stalker might have some powerful methods, so he deliberately named him, and at Qianhua's suggestion, he also included those villagers.

In the blink of an eye, the aerial bomb had completely disappeared from the sight of several players and hit the target location.

The first thing to rise was the burning fire cloud.

boom! ! !

Then the violent explosion sound reached the ears of several people.

The hot air currents shuttled through the forest, uprooting trees one after another and being swept into the strong wind.

The diffuse mist was blown away by the shock wave and strong wind, forcibly revealing its original appearance.

Under the burning flames, large areas of land turned into charred black, and a deep pit was blasted out in the center of the explosion.

Even the players two kilometers away were blown by a gust of hot wind, blowing all kinds of dust, fallen leaves and debris all over their bodies. The corpses of the villagers were also blown around, and many individuals fell directly to the ground, and then got up in embarrassment.

As for the status of the stalker, there is currently no way to know. After all, even if you mobilize the power of auditory blessing at this time, you can only hear the crackling sounds of various things being burned, and there is no way to find other sounds.

{The power can be felt even from such a distance. I wonder if this kind of attack can destroy the opponent? }

Qianhua patted the dirt and dust on her hair and said through the spiritual link.

{I don’t know if this is useful. If you are a player, you might still be able to take action and find a way to survive}

Kaguya was still a little uneasy, so she turned to look at Goto Isato's clone and asked her in the spiritual link. Then the clone put on sunglasses, nodded slightly to Kaguya, and then ran towards the direction of the explosion as fast as a runaway husky.

Li Xiaoxiao had turned her head and continued walking forward.

Even though he knew someone was following him and saw a big bomb exploding in front of him, the player didn't react much, as if he didn't care at all about such things.

Her attention has completely turned to the direction that she has not arrived yet and is still being guided at this time. She seems to no longer pay attention to or think about anything other than that. To be honest, this change is almost like being hypnotized by soul-stealing, which makes Kaguya and Qianhua who are following behind more or less worried. But after reaching this place, they were really unwilling to quit, so they continued to walk silently and followed the player silently.

You can feel that the distance to the source of breath in front has shortened.

The opponent's movement speed seems to have begun to slow down.

So, is it finally here?

Kaguya noticed the changes in the situation ahead and knew that the situation here might change, so she became even more alert.

Qianhua on the side is still communicating with Goto Isri through a spiritual link. The clone controlled by the other party has arrived at the explosion area of ​​the aerial bomb. At this time, there are possible traces of enemies among the burning ruins.

Although considering that the aerial bomb was hit directly at the blessing lock position, that is to say, if there is really someone there, with the high temperature and shock wave released instantly from the center of the explosion, it stands to reason that the opponent should be instantly vaporized and disappeared. There is no trace. But considering that neither Red Moon-level players nor monsters are so easy to kill, it is still necessary to send a clone to investigate clearly.

{No...well...no suspicious traces were found, and there were no traces of any human activity in the explosion area}

About ten minutes later, Yili reported in the spiritual link. She used the power of the guitar to repeatedly adjust the clone's investigation area and carefully checked the explosion area several times, but still found nothing.

{If you really have nothing to gain, then come back and follow Kaguya, Chika and the others. If there is anyone, the target of the other party must be the player in front, and they will definitely take action}

Gao Hai seriously suggested in the spiritual link. Then, because his investigation into the [Bottomless Lake] had entered a critical period, he was unable to focus on Kaguya's situation for the time being, so he gave a few final instructions.

Qianhua could tell from Gao Hai's voice that he was still worried. Just as she was thinking about saying something to comfort him, Yili had already controlled the clone to run back, and soon caught up with the team here and started moving with everyone again.

The fog appeared again.

After being blown away by the wind from the bombs for a while, the strange white fog appeared again and gradually spread in the woods.

As the fog reappeared, Li Xiaoxiao, who was at the front, quickened her pace a bit, and the strange creature that had always been a little distance away in front of her also closed the distance again at this moment.

{This is...}

Something different finally appeared in front of her.

It was the ruins of a broken village.

It was a village that had been abandoned for a long time and had gone through the baptism of time. It was the small village located in the valley next to [Water Ghost Lake].

{The core obsession related to Zhangjia Village... Did it point to this place in the end? }

Although she had made many guesses about this fourth core obsession before, Qianhua was still a little surprised that she would eventually return to the abandoned village in the initial space. Especially compared with the situation of the Liu family and the agreement with the runaways of the Li family mentioned by Li Xiaoxiao, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart whether the connection between the Zhang family and the Li family was actually quite close.

{It's here, it's at this place}

Li Xiaoxiao stopped, took a long breath, and then whispered to Kaguya Qianhua.

At this time, it was difficult to judge what her state was. It can only be said that at least in terms of breath, she was still a person and not a ghost, but it was difficult to predict how far the spiritual alienation would go.

However, she did not intend to continue talking nonsense. After saying a word in the temporary mental link, she continued to move forward and stepped directly into the ruins of the village in front.

This time, Kaguya and Qianhua did not follow Li Xiaoxiao immediately.

They looked around, and the still water ghost lake like a mirror was next to the ruins of the village, and there was nothing unusual. But the place where Lijia Village was supposed to be is still a primeval forest, with no traces of human activities.

This doesn't seem to be the initial space, but just a similar but actually different place.

But even so, they still can't make a decision to easily step into the abandoned village in front of them.

As early as the third round, Gao Hai confirmed this abandoned village by controlling the power of the deed. At that time, Gao Hai judged that this abandoned village was a [trap space] based on the information of the deed, and once the player stepped into it, he would be teleported to an unknown space. Gao Hai was unable to see the specific situation of that space from the deed, but only knew that the space was full of chaotic distortions and suffocating cold breath, and it was an extremely dangerous place.

But now, the clues of Zhangjia Village point to this abandoned village, a mysterious abandoned village that has not been explored and understood by players yet.

Kaguya thought of another space that Goto Ichiri was responsible for at this time, a space full of graves and only death. The entrance to that space is at the border of Lijia Village in the initial space. It is also a trap space that can screen specific players and throw them into it, and then kill them through invisible death intentions.

In the information of the deed, that space is named [the end of Zhangjia Village]. Although this information was set by the people of Lijia Village themselves, it can still explain a lot of problems. The connection between [Zhangjia Village] and Lijia Village itself is actually likely to be closer than everyone expected before. This family that does not want to stand on either side and has been trying to remain neutral, is it really neutral? What is the relationship between them and the Li family?

Goto Ichiri's clone took a step at this time and followed Li Xiaoxiao to explore the danger.

The bodies of the villagers also took steps one after another, followed very naturally, and entered the abandoned village.

{Let's go, we have come to this step, there is no reason to retreat}

After confirming from Ichiri that the clone was not in danger, Kaguya still made a decision first, took a deep breath and took a step.

{Yes, that's true. There is no such thing as quitting the game midway}

And Qianhua also nodded gently, took the same step forward, and stepped into the village area.

The next moment, it seemed that some changes appeared around.

The abandoned village was still in a dilapidated state.

Under the gloomy sky, the land looked no different from before in the girls' eyes.

But no, it was not like that. At that moment, both of them clearly felt that something had changed in this place.

Kaguya looked up suddenly and looked at the entrance of the dilapidated village.

Then, she successfully found the source of the change, the wooden sign that had not existed just now but was now hanging on the gate, and the words on the wooden sign:

[Yingti Village]

Chapter 126 The original promise of [Yingti Village] and those who stepped in

Felt something.

After confirming the name [Yingti Village], it seemed that something appeared in the perception.

It was difficult for Kaguya to clearly understand what it was. Her perception could only give her vague responses, and she could only vaguely perceive some seemingly ambiguous things. However, soon, as she officially stepped into the area where the abandoned village was located, the things she perceived began to become clearer and clearer.

She saw many villagers in ragged clothes and pale faces.

These wounded people struggled through the dense primeval forest and came to this valley, and decided to stay here and live here.

It was a very difficult period. The villagers who had experienced a long journey were hungry and cold. Even if they united as a family, it was difficult to resist the harsh environment of the primeval forest.

Therefore, at that time, there was no Li family, no Liu family, and no Zhang family.

Although the clans of the three families were still there, there was indeed a big gap between them. But at least at this time, when they had just arrived here and settled here to survive, they had not really been divided into three different villages, but were still in a harmonious state with each other.

[No matter what conflicts we had in the past, we are now a family and we have to overcome the next difficulties together]

[Being able to survive all the way to today and survive so many hardships, I believe that there is no really irreconcilable conflict between us. As long as we cooperate well and work together, one day we will build our new home here.]

[So, I promise you that the Li family will never become the enemy of the Liu family and the Zhang family. Let us unite completely and become a real family!]

No matter what the situation turns out to be after that, at least at this moment, these people gathered together seem to be sincerely cooperating with each other.

After all, in the face of a serious survival crisis, it is of no benefit to continue to be entangled in internal strife. This point can be seen by all families. Therefore, even if there are indeed considerable contradictions between the three tribes, even if many people still hate each other and find it difficult to let go of the past, they still unite together to form a common village.

In the valley, they built the first village, the first village where the three tribes live together in this place close to the [Water Ghost Lake] and with the most fertile soil around.

[Since we have decided to become one, it is really wrong to continue to distinguish each other by using words like Li Family, Zhang Family, and Liu Family]

[We should have a new name, a new name that can represent all of us and that all of us can recognize]

[I suggest that the name of this village should be "Yingti Village", what do you think? ]

Someone was seriously making suggestions, while others smiled and nodded in approval, and everyone was so happy.

Even though she could only see the blurry picture, Kaguya could clearly recognize that the villagers at that time were actually living a very happy life. Even though there are many difficult places and many shortcomings in life, in this environment created by everyone's joint efforts, everyone can still retain a yearning for the future, and that vitality has never been truly wiped out.

{Fujiwara-san...}

{Well, I saw it too, it turns out that the abandoned village in the valley had such a meaning of existence...}

{Huh? Huh, huh, huh? }

Kaguya and Chika looked at each other tacitly, and although some words were not finished, the two already understood what the other wanted to express.

Goto Ichiri, however, was unable to trigger the spiritual vision because he was investigating with a clone, so he didn't see anything. Seeing that both Kaguya and Chika had reacted, she was a little flustered and at a loss as to what to say or do.

Buzz——

However, before the girls took any action, some changes appeared first.

Accompanied by a very strong wave of strange power, the originally dilapidated abandoned village became even more decayed at this moment, as if it had experienced tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, and it was constantly collapsing at a very fast speed.

What's going on?

Kaguya, who didn't expect to see such a change, couldn't help but groan, and her spirit suffered an extremely severe impact in an instant, and she had a nosebleed directly.

{Um, Ah Hai, there is unexpected mental pollution, the intensity is very high! }

Chika also suffered a severe impact at this moment, but she took precautions against it, and called Gao Hai for help through the mental link as soon as she felt something was wrong.

Crack-crack-

The spiritual fragments provided by Chiyoko Hachiya’s blessing bought time for the two girls, allowing most of the first wave of impact to be blocked.

Then, Gao Hai’s blood-colored domain was released directly from the two people, building a defense for Kaguya and Chika. Goto Ichiri also immediately controlled the clone to cut the blood vessels in his arm, and scattered part of the clone’s blood into the domain to help it increase its power.

Under such multiple protections, Kaguya and Chika were finally able to relieve the pressure and continue to feel more vague information.

The color of the sky changed.

No, that’s not right, that’s not the sky.

Kaguya knew very well that she had been set up with cognitive blocking in advance, so she should not be able to distinguish the existence of the sky. But now, she clearly saw the color change of the sky, saw the whirlpool-like twisting and rotating, rolling the clouds in circles and turning them into a fiery red storm, and clearly recognized that this was a change caused by the [sky]. This was a very abnormal thing, and there must be some problem that she had not yet understood.

Something has changed.

It was not the superficial change of "the sky"//, but a deeper change from outside the real world.

It was no longer possible to determine who caused it and why it had developed to this point.

All that could be seen was the continuous torrential rain rushing down from the distorted sky.

The mud surged down from the mountain and rushed into the valley, submerging the entire village in an instant.

Many villagers were fleeing in a desperate situation, floundering in the water, trudging with their families, or lifting their children over their heads and putting them in baskets to escape together, and some people were carrying the elderly and swimming in the turbulent and muddy water to find a way to survive.

Many people died after that day.

And the survivors split again from the original gathering state, and were divided into three groups of different sizes.
