Chapter 100: The Big Boss is Giving Away Perks!
Giant, scarlet characters exploded across the entire Origin Realm sky!
[World Announcement (Zhaocheng Region): The hidden quest "[Disturbed Rest]" has been triggered! The tide of vengeful spirits has awakened, and the wrath of the dead will engulf the city of the living!]
The public quest "Wrath of the Dead" in the Zhaocheng area is now open!
[Mission Objective: Defend Zhaocheng and repel the attack of the vengeful spirit army!]
[Task Rewards: Massive experience and Zhaocheng reputation rewards will be awarded based on your contribution!]
……
"Holy crap? Another global announcement?"
"An army of vengeful spirits is attacking the city? What's going on? Is something terrible about to happen in Zhaocheng?"
"Check the task list! It's a public task! The rewards are amazing! We're rich, guys!"
In an instant, the entire city of Zhaocheng was in an uproar.
Countless adventurers who were bragging in taverns, working in blacksmith shops, or strolling the streets all suddenly had quest prompts pop up in front of them.
After a brief moment of astonishment came an uncontrollable surge of joy!
These days, besides the tedious grind of monsters, where else can you find such great perks?
This is like a windfall!
"Heading towards the North Suburb Cemetery! Quick! Meet at the North Gate!"
"Let's form a team! We need a strong warrior to tank in front, and mages and priests, come join us quickly!"
"Haha, I wonder which big shot triggered this hidden quest, they're practically a living saint!"
The adventurers excitedly called out to their friends, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
The clanging of weapons mingled with the surging of the crowds, which surged wildly toward the north gate of Zhaocheng.
In their eyes, what is about to happen is not a disaster, but a carnival, a feast of collective monster-slaying.
However, the person who initiated this "feast" looked utterly dejected.
Inside the cemetery.
[Warning: The mission area has been sealed off; you are now under no-fly zone.]
As the prompt appeared, an invisible force descended.
Chen You was completely numb.
I... just wanted to save an NPC!
This guy's bluffing is way too sophisticated! He's just calling in reinforcements to attack the city?
He suddenly looked up at the small figure.
Meng Xiao slowly stood up from the ground, her eyes, which were originally bloodshot, were now a deathly black.
There is not a trace of human emotion to be seen.
Wisps of black resentment rose from the ground beneath her feet, coiled around her body, and coalesced into a simple black dress.
Her small body exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Chen You understood instantly.
This little girl is possessed!
Or rather, because of her bloodline and resentment, she became a temporary host for a powerful being!
This cemetery is like a time bomb that has been planted long ago!
The whooshing sound of his sword flying wildly just now was the new fuse!
"Wait... let me sort this out."
Chen You stroked his chin.
Mission objective: Survive for ten minutes under Meng Xiao's revenge.
The mission prompts are: [Unable to leave the cemetery], [Unable to cause any damage to Meng Xiao].
This is just a sitting duck... isn't it?
What made his scalp tingle even more was that he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that was on the south side of the cemetery.
In the direction closer to Zhaocheng, the ground began to churn like mud.
One after another, rotting, pale arms burst from the ground, followed by vengeful spirits of various shapes, their bodies shrouded in black mist.
They let out a silent roar, their empty eye sockets all turning towards Zhaocheng, densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see!
The army of vengeful spirits has been spawned!
Moreover, their target isn't themselves at all, but... Zhaocheng!
Holy crap!
Chen You finally understood.
My hidden mission is just the "introduction".
The real killer move is the "public quest" that is given to all players in the city!
Meng Xiao was there to hold them back; the real army of vengeful spirits was there to attack the city!
The thought of those players who treated the siege as a perk and excitedly rushed towards the city gates made Chen You feel a toothache.
No, we have to think of something!
With such a vast amount of experience, am I just supposed to watch from the sidelines?
On a whim, he pointed.
"Yu Huang! Go!"
The narrow, long innate spiritual treasure, "Jade Radiance," emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, transforming into a stream of light that soared into the sky.
They tried to cross the cemetery wall to intercept the endless army of vengeful spirits.
However, just as Yu Huang was about to fly out of the cemetery area!
"Buzz—!"
A transparent barrier, invisible to the naked eye, suddenly lit up, like an indestructible wall of air.
"clang!!"
With a loud bang, Yu Huang was violently thrown back, tumbling several times in the air before hovering back beside Chen You, its blade emitting a mournful hum.
Chen You's heart sank as well.
It was completely restricted.
He and his sword were locked tightly in this cage called the "Tranquil Cemetery".
"Big...brother...brother..."
A hoarse, cold, eerie call, mixed with the voices of countless men, women, and children, came from ahead.
Chen You looked up and saw "Meng Xiao" walking towards him step by step.
Her steps were slow, each one feeling heavy and oppressive, as if stepping on one's heart.
Those pure black eyes were fixed on Chen You, filled with the resentment and hatred of countless dead souls.
"You... woke us up..."
Chen You's lips twitched.
He really wanted to rush over and shake the little girl awake.
But reason told him it was useless.
The girl before me is no longer the pitiful little girl who lost her father.
This is an invincible "humanoid quest monster" controlled by a collective of resentment, specifically designed to punish itself.
ten minutes.
He had to survive for a full ten minutes in this confined space against an invincible enemy.
Although, judging from the mission level, this "mission monster" probably can't even break through my defenses.
But it's so unreasonable that they can only take the beatings!
and many more!
Unable to attack [Meng Xiao]?
so what!
The system didn't say I couldn't hit anything attached to her!
Exorcism Talisman!
Specifically designed for spirit monsters!
Perhaps we can directly "purify" the vengeful spirit possessing Meng Xiao!
"You'll know once you try!"
As "Meng Xiao" got closer and closer, she was less than twenty meters away.
Without further hesitation, Chen You flipped his wrist, and an exorcism talisman appeared in his hand.
With a flick of his finger, a golden light shot towards "Meng Xiao".
Meng Xiao subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes and stopped walking.
However, the golden light flashed by quickly and did not harm her.
She slowly raised her head, and on her childlike, innocent face, black energy surged wildly.
Finally, a terrifying smile spread across his face.
"You...deserve...to die!"
With a sharp scream, she suddenly raised her right hand!
In an instant, the resentment of the entire cemetery surged towards her palm like a summoned tide.
In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a two-meter-long black scythe!
That was not a physical entity, but an energy weapon composed of the purest resentment and the aura of death!
[Warning! BOSS [Voice of Resentment - Meng Xiao] has entered battle stance!]
[Skill [Venom Harvest] is charging up!]
Meanwhile, at the north gate of Zhaocheng.
Countless players had already crowded the city walls, craning their necks and excitedly gazing into the distance.
"They're here! I see them! A huge, dark mass!"
"My God, this number... there must be thousands or even tens of thousands! We've really struck it rich this time!"
Amidst the excited discussions of the crowd, the black tide composed of vengeful spirits let out a deafening roar and suddenly accelerated its speed.
Like a black tsunami, it swept towards Zhaocheng under the setting sun!
