Chapter 144 It’s Time to Get Up
Han Er looked at the square fire lamp in Wu Chang's hand, and his eyes could not help but be attracted by it. The red flame with gold, and the delicate and luxurious lamp body, just one glance, you can tell that it is not an ordinary thing.
More importantly, the last sentence Wu Chang said.
Let them live a little longer.
Combined with the unique skills of the Soul Light Sect's resurrection ceremony, Han Er guessed what Wu Chang did, but he didn't dare to confirm it, and asked tentatively: "This special oil lamp is the holy object you stole... fought for?"
Han Er wanted to say steal, but Wu Chang glared at him and immediately changed his words.
Wu Chang nodded and said: "The fire in this lamp represents the fire of life in the world. Being in the light of the fire can increase vitality, slow down death, and even bring the dead back to life."
As he spoke, Han Er could see the faces of the people in the coffins placed next to the golden throne struggling.
Their faces turned pale at first, as if they had lost their vitality, but the next moment they were illuminated by the fire and glowed red again. The last breath they had already taken came out again.
The process kept repeating, and it could be seen that they wanted to die, but they couldn't.
Extending life was originally a happy thing, but for a few people, it didn't seem to be a happy thing at all.
Time passed by minute by minute, and as the most essential minute of the blood moon's eternal life passed, the light of the blood moon was no longer dazzling, but turned into a low and dark blood red.
If the dark power of the blood moon was illuminated by the dark power of the blood moon, it would turn into the monsters wandering in the kingdom's cemetery.
Feeling the change of the power of the blood moon, the people who were not yet dead in the sarcophagus gave out the instinctive fear of the creatures, and their bodies began to tremble, as if they wanted to wake up and end this ceremony.
But in order to enter death in time, they were too close to death, and their serious injuries made them unable to recover for a while even if they had the will to survive.
But just when everyone wanted to live, Wu Chang put away the four-sided Sui Huo lamp.
Without the illumination of Sui Huo, everyone slid uncontrollably towards death.
Wu Chang sighed and said to the sarcophagus of Duke Luz: "I'm sorry, the one-minute free trial of escaping death has ended. You can continue to enjoy the life-extending service by becoming a member. Would you like to apply for membership?"
After waiting for a while, seeing no one answered, Wu Chang shook his head and said to Han Er with a face full of regret: "Tsk, I ran into a group of freeloaders again."
Without the illumination of Sui Huo, the people in the sarcophagus only lasted less than half a minute before they died completely.
Under the illumination of the blood moon, their bodies became swollen and twisted. Every blood vessel, every muscle, and even every muscle fiber in every muscle in their bodies were changing their positions uncontrollably.
The shape of their bodies kept changing, just like the videos generated by AI, constantly changing randomly, absurd and magical.
Wu Chang waved at Han Er and said, "They may be busy for a while. Let's go outside and wait."
On the other side of the Kingdom Cemetery, there was no obstruction from the Eternal Cemetery. The power of the blood moon covered the entire cemetery without any obstruction.
In the cemetery, the zombies that were already flooding were instantly strengthened and began to attack the wooden houses of gravekeepers everywhere.
Looking at the blood-red sky that seemed like the end of the world and the surging zombies, even Lei Hu was numb.
He looked at the ronin beside him and asked, "Are you sure someone can survive in this copy for thirty days?"
"Maybe there was an accident in some part of the copy."
The ronin was sweating profusely. It shouldn't be. According to his experience, even a copy that was on the verge of losing control would not completely deny the player the opportunity to pass the level.
Is it different for the B-level copy?
No, if the B-level copies that were on the verge of losing control were so abnormal, then why would their employers need to spend a lot of money to hire them? If they were left alone, no one could stop this copy from getting out of control.
Lei Hu is not good at clearing the dungeon, so he can only ask Ronin.
"What should we do now? Should we leave directly?"
The props given to them by the client to escape from the dungeon can only be used in a non-combat state. They must make a decision as soon as possible. If they stay in the gravekeeper's cabin and wait until they enter a combat state, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.
Ronin hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "The current change happened after the night patrol, which does not affect our main task. I suspect that this is some kind of sudden incident in the dungeon plane, and it may not be a precursor to the collapse of the dungeon."
"I suggest that we retreat to the Serina city area first to avoid this wave of crisis, and wait until tomorrow night. If the abnormal incident cannot be calmed down, we will leave. In this way, even if the client pursues it, we have something to say. Otherwise..."
Ronin didn't say the rest of the words, but Lei Hu knew what he meant.
The other party paid such a high price and even prepared props to escape from the dungeon. It is obvious that he is determined to make the midnight cemetery out of control.
They left the scene early when they were not sure of the result. If the copy was out of control, it would be fine. If it was not out of control, the other party would definitely not let them go.
It goes without saying that the client who issued the commission must be a big shot. If something really happened, the Iron Armored Corps would definitely not protect them.
Lei Hu sighed, agreed with the ronin's point of view, and said, "Then let's go now!"
The two of them did not think about calling Guangzhi, Oda and the orcs, and secretly left the gravekeeper's wooden house.
In order to facilitate their actions, they went to the city yesterday to buy two horses, but they did not expect to use them so soon.
The two men got on their horses and were about to leave when Ronin pulled the reins and stopped.
Lei Hu asked in confusion, "What else?"
Ronin said, "Guangzhi and the other three are on guard against us and are huddled together, so it's not easy to attack. But the guy from the Countermeasures Bureau is alone, so I plan to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of him first, lest he also has props that can get out of the dungeon and expose us after leaving the dungeon."
"Are you sure?" Lei Hu frowned. He knew that Ronin's words were nice, but he was just venting his anger for what happened in the quiet town.
According to Ronin, the guy from the Administration Bureau was not very high-level. Before a dungeon, he could only hide behind Jianxing to gain experience. It's not difficult to kill him, but the difficulty lies in the current dangerous environment. Ronin's level is not high, and he is weaker than the orcs. Don't overturn.
Ronin said confidently, "I am confident, but if you, brother Lei Hu..."
"It's good that you are confident, then we'll meet in the Serina District." Lei Hu interrupted Ronin's words, turned around and slapped his horse and left.
He had no grudges with the Administration, so he didn't want to get involved in this kind of shitty thing. If he succeeded, there would be no benefit, but if he failed, he would be in big trouble.
Seeing Lei Hu leave, Ronin could understand. After identifying the direction, he rushed to Cemetery No. 44 where Wu Chang was.
Going to kill Wu Chang was not a sudden whim of his, but the result of many days of preparation.
He monitored Wu Chang last night and today.
Last night, the gravekeeper who was with Wu Chang left with the people of the Soul Light Sect. Then, something happened to the Soul Light Sect. The entire Soul Light Cathedral was blocked and the former gravekeeper could not come back in a short time.
Today he went to monitor and found that Wu Chang did not take any action during the day. He hid in the gravekeeper's hut alone, occasionally came out to bask in the sun and breathe, and then went back to the house.
A pure young master player, accustomed to sucking the blood of his teammates, has no sense of urgency to enter the dungeon at all, and only wants to hide in a safe place and get through the main task one.
Now that the blood moon has appeared and the zombies are rioting, the gravekeeper's hut is completely defenseless. Wu Chang will definitely escape from the house. Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity to kill him.
In the Quiet Town dungeon that day, almost all the rookies of the Administration who were less than level 10 died, but he was the only one left among the three brothers of the Iron Armored Group.
There is no problem with the people in the Administration. He will not believe it even if he says it to the sky.
Since it is impossible to determine who it is, the only way to comfort the spirits of the two brothers in heaven is to kill all the people who participated that day.
Just when the ronin gritted his teeth and prepared to increase the intensity of Wu Chang and ask him what happened in the Quiet Town dungeon, he suddenly heard a strong wind behind his ears.
He quickly hid in the stirrups. As soon as his body moved away from the horse's back, he saw that there were several more kunai on the seat where he had sat before.
Dodging the attack did not make him happy at all, because he saw several high-explosive grenades tied behind the kunai.
What a modern version of detonating talisman.
Boom!
A huge explosion blew the horses into a bloody mist.
Wearing a thermal imaging device and holding a sniper rifle, Oda lay on a tree trunk beside the road, looking for the traces of the ronin.
Before he found the suspicious heat source, he suddenly felt a chill behind him and quickly stood up and flew back.
The next moment, a full moon-like sword light cut off the tree trunk where Oda was crawling. Even if he retreated in time, the sword light would cut his sniper rifle into two pieces.
Under the big tree, the ronin sheathed the nearly two-meter-long samurai sword and looked at Oda in surprise.
"Why is it you?"
He originally thought that Wu Chang had discovered that he was being monitored and set a trap to ambush him, but he didn't expect that the one who attacked him was the silent ninja Oda.
Is this guy crazy? Why did he attack him?
Judging others by himself, the ronin quickly figured out the reason. Could it be that he is the enemy of the Iron Armored Corps?
Ronin had a headache. He knew his own business. The Iron Armor Group was so domineering in the wilderness that even a dog passing by would want to kick them. It was no exaggeration to say that they had enemies all over the world.
Every member of the Iron Armor Group was prepared to be attacked and beaten up for no reason when bullying small forces and individual players, but Oda appeared at the wrong time.
"I'm in a hurry. Can you let me go today?" Ronin negotiated.
Oda took off the thermal imaging device. His cold eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent when he heard Ronin's words.
"You really found it."
Ronin: "?"
What are you crazy about? What did you find?
Before he could ask the question, Oda on the other side had already moved.
Oda turned into three and summoned two clones. The three of them took out rocket launchers, rifles and smoke bombs at the same time.
As the smoke bomb landed, the irritating smoke instantly enveloped the Ronin. The other two Oda put on thermal imaging devices and walked into the smoke while firing.
For most clone skills, the clones created, even if they are physical, are extremely lacking in combat power.
Using modern weapons is the correct way to use clone skills.
Although Ronin is a player who specializes in raiding dungeons, he is from the Ironclad Regiment after all. He often competes with other players, and there is a lot of combat experience between players.
"Golden Bell!"
He immediately activated the protective item, and a golden bell was turned upside down on his body, blocking all the flying bullets and explosions.
Then he took off his clogs, stepped on the ground barefoot, closed his eyes, and felt the vibration from the ground with his feet.
Take a deep breath.
Swoosh!
The long samurai sword was drawn out, the sword energy was sharp and unstoppable, and it cut the rifle clone approaching five meters away in half.
This is his signature skill, Iai Slash!
Swish!
This time he drew out the short samurai sword and chopped off the clone that was hanging with grenades and ready to explode with him.
Seeing that the grenades on the clone had exploded with flames, he flashed and instantly came to the fifteen meters away, in front of Oda's real body holding a rocket launcher.
He spun his body, spun rapidly, causing the blade to pass through the air, rubbing out a piece of fire, and used the air as a sheath to launch the sword slash again.
Iai·Double Slash.
Oda had no time to react and was instantly cut into three pieces.
Remembering that Oda was an agile player, the ronin couldn't help but say, "The speed of a human is not as fast as a sword."
"Private~Mass~"
Oda, who was cut into three pieces, suddenly showed a weird smile on his head, and the three pieces of his body suddenly rose up, tightly wrapping the ronin's hands and legs.
The next moment, the ground where the ronin was located collapsed, revealing a ten-meter-long pit below, which was full of sharp spikes.
The moment the ronin fell in, the pit suddenly closed like an iron maiden.
Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, a large amount of blood gushed out of the hole in the ground that closed.
The crypt opened again, and Oda looked at the ronin who was pierced like a sieve in the crypt and was about to die, and bowed his head and said:
"Sorry, you and I are each for our own masters. I will not allow you to pass the dungeon. This dungeon must be out of control."
The ronin was on his deathbed, and was originally lamenting that his skills were not as good as others. After hearing Oda's words, he took a breath and forced himself to return to life.
What the hell are you talking about? You don't allow me to pass the level?
So you are not here to seek revenge, but like me, you also want to make the dungeon out of control?
Ronin gathered his last breath and shouted at the top of his lungs; "Fuck you!"
The next moment, he coughed up a large handful of blood mist from his throat and died completely.
In a place where neither of them could see, the sprayed blood mist turned into a crimson resentment, flew past Oda at the entrance of the cave, and sank into the woods.
In the woods, Oda, wearing optical camouflage uniforms, scratched his neck and asked in confusion: "Are there any mosquitoes?"
He controlled the clone in the distance, and after confirming that Ronin was dead, he looked at Cemetery No. 44.
After solving the military advisor Ronin, the remaining Thunder Tigers are not a threat, and he does not need to continue to attack.
Since I am here, it is a good time to take a trip and see how things are going with Bishop Reifer.
If both Blood Moon Eternal Life and the Golden Throne can be obtained, it will be a great help to the plan of the Fire Saint.
By the way, if I remember correctly, the gravekeeper guarding the No. 44 cemetery is also a player. He heard Lei Hu and Lang Ren talking privately, saying that he is a young master player of the countermeasure bureau, who can level up by lying down all the way. He was only about level 10 in the last dungeon.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should also be there. Jianxing of the Administration Bureau has just killed a substitute saint of the church. In return, let's kill this guy.
A-choo!
In the eternal tomb of Mikel I, Wu Chang suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and looked at the golden throne and the sarcophagus group with a bad face.
Which little cutie is talking about him, don't let him catch him.
"It's almost time, let's go and see what's going on." Wu Chang said, and took the opportunity to put a single card into the deck and walked towards the golden throne.
After a period of blood moon baptism,
the situation of the people lying in the sarcophagus gradually stabilized.
Some are becoming less and less human, while others are gradually getting better and have become somewhat human.
Just like the first blood moon immortality, some people turned into monsters, but there are also people like Luz who maintain the human form and will and wake up before the second blood moon immortality.
Judging from the soul-cleansing flag, the black, white and red colors in the bodies of several people gradually merged into one, turning into a special stable state.
In this state, it is no longer feasible to rely solely on the soul-cleansing flag to transcend.
But one thing can be confirmed, that is, Luz has something to hide. Missing the first minute of the blood moon will not cause several people to die completely. At most, it will only erode their souls and make them all abnormal.
Wu Chang couldn't help but sigh. He hated dishonest people the most.
Seeing that the people headed by Luz were at risk of recovery, he picked up the horn that Luz gave him before he fell asleep.
"Item name: Loud Horn"
"Item type: Dungeon item"
"Item level: C"
"Item skill: Invigorating sound"
"Skill description: Blow the horn to make the selected target get rid of the mental control state, forcibly wake up, and enter the excited state. The awakening effect depends on the inspiration of the user. The cooling time is 120 seconds. Invigorated state: Strength, agility, endurance and will increase by 10%, and pain decreases by 10%. Duration: 3 minutes; cooling time, 120 minutes."
"Note: If the target is under mental control level greater than or equal to level B, there is a probability that it will fall into a state of confusion after being forced to wake up, ignoring the enemy and launching attacks. Please use it with caution."
"Everyone, it's time to get up!"
Wu Chang took a deep breath and blew the loud horn.
The huge sound echoed in the underground tomb and almost pierced Haner's eardrum.
In the impactful sound, everyone in the sarcophagus was forcibly awakened.
The baptism of Red Moon's eternal life was just halfway through, and the consciousness of the people who were delayed from completely dying in the sarcophagus was even more confused.
Theoretically speaking, even if the loud horn was blown to pieces, it would not be possible to wake everyone up.
But the problem is that the awakening effect of the loud horn depends on the inspiration of the user. Under the effect of Wu Chang's 98 points of inspiration, even a dead target can probably be blown back by him, not to mention them.
Accompanied by painful groans, the people in the sarcophagus woke up and forcibly ended the blood moon baptism.
The result of forcibly ending the ceremony was that the bodies of Lutz and others, who had been stabilizing, collapsed again and completely turned into monsters.
Before they fully woke up, their eyes were red and they looked at each other with malice, obviously they were hit by the chaos debuff.
Wuhu, this is going to be exciting.
Wu Chang pulled Haner to the entrance of the tomb. It is worth mentioning that while the people in the sarcophagus turned into monsters, Mikel I on the golden throne also slowly opened his eyes.
