All people flee famine, my items can be upgraded

Chapter 178 Shadow Demon (95101)

"It turns out that the three masters are here."

At this time, Lu Mei came out from the mountain temple.

Immediately, the three of Yang Yuan looked over in surprise.

Because the Lu Mei at this moment is completely different from the Lu Mei they saw last time.

Last time they met each other once before leaving Shan Shen Mountain.

But at that time, the other party was still a dignified and beautiful woman. She didn't even have the slightest aura of a strong man on her body, only dignified and gentle, giving people the feeling of a good wife and mother.

But now-

The other party has silver-white waist-length hair, his pupils have turned silver-gray, and he is also wearing a long silver-gray dress, giving people a strange feeling that the other party is not human.

At this moment, Lu Mei felt a very violent but forcibly suppressed emotional agitation.

In addition to these, there is also the sense of death that pervades the entire mountain.

"I haven't seen you for many days. Meishan God has changed a lot."

Yang Yuan sighed with emotion.

"Mr. Yang Yuan, please call me Lu Mei. In front of you, I am nothing like a mountain god."

Lu Mei's voice was still gentle, but compared to before, it seemed much cooler.

There is a deep sense of loneliness in her aura like a true god.

Or maybe it was influenced by the spiritual force that permeated the entire mountain, Yang Yuan couldn't help but have an urge to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Of course, it's just a feeling. Lu Mei's level is at most 42-[-], which is still in the early stages of the prefecture level, and it can't really affect him yet.

After saying that, Lu Mei glanced at the building squeezing Tianyu in the sky and said, "Let's talk about it inside. That building puts too much pressure on me."

With that said, she turned and entered the mountain temple.

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan looked at each other, and then followed.

Zhao Jiayan immediately asked Jiang Yiyi to close the door of space and followed in.

Speaking of which, this was their first time entering the mountain temple.

They didn't enter here last time because they didn't trust Yan Chenggong.

Now, it is naturally impossible for them to fully trust Lu Mei, but their strength is no longer what it used to be.

Not to mention Yang Yuan himself has reached the earth level, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi have reached the earth limit.

Lu Mei was really going to be stupid, even if she attacked them at close range, it would be impossible to hurt them.

The layout of the mountain temple is very simple.

The first thing you see when you enter is the mountain god statue.

It used to be the statue of Yan Chenggong before, but now, it has become the statue of Lu Mei.

Yang Yuan is familiar with the layout here because he has seen the blueprint given by Lu Mei.

The structure of the mountain temple is also very simple. In addition to the hall where the statues are placed, there are side halls on the left and right.

There is a back hall at the back, which is the bedroom and a place to sleep.

There is no breath of life at all.

As a mountain god, theoretically, you don’t need to eat, and you will hardly be hungry.

Eating is just to satisfy the appetite.

Lu Mei took Yang Yuan and the others to the side hall and asked them to sit down respectively. She also sat cross-legged opposite the table.

"Do you know what the building that fell from the sky is?" Yang Yuan asked straight to the point.

Lu Mei pondered for a moment, then answered: "I don't know the specifics, but it should be the location of similar game administrator authority. I don't know much about the game government. I only know that if you control that building, you can control people like me." Human life and death.”

Yang Yuan was stunned, and asked again: "If, I mean if, if I go to fight for it, do you think I have any hope of taking control of that building?"

This time, Lu Mei shook her head without hesitation: "As far as I know, without permission, you can't even enter that building, let alone enter it to obtain permission."

Moreover, the place where the building fell will definitely be extremely far away from here.

But because she knew that Yang Yuan had such a thing as the gate of space, she was not sure whether Yang Yuan could arrive there at a fixed time.

Yang Yuan asked again: "What will happen after that building falls?"

This time Lu Mei was silent for a long time before replying: "For us, it is a good thing and a bad thing."

"How to say?" Yang Yuan's heart moved.

Lu Mei organized the language: "When you were still in the age of the earth, the power center of your own country, do you think it is better to be in the country, or is it better to be outside?"

Needless to say?

Yang Yuan understood: "You mean, there is hope for the creatures in the Creation Continent to obtain administrator privileges? Or..."

Zhao Jiayan immediately took up his topic: "Alternatively, even if the creatures in Good Fortune Continent cannot obtain authority, they can coerce those with authority to amend laws and other regulations through demonstrations or personal threats."

"It's a very interesting metaphor. It's almost like this. Of course, all of this is just my guess. I just made an inference based on the information I know. The specifics are still unknown."

Lu Mei said: "But this is only a matter of the future. The thing we have to face now is that the game may be tested in advance, because the advent of the permission building means that there will be more changes, and the game government is likely to increase efforts or pay more. Big price to promote gamification.”

"Gamification may speed up?" Yang Yuan's heart trembled.

Lu Mei said: "According to my speculation, Fortune Continent may not be the only game world owned by the game government. Fortune Continent is only under production, while other places probably already have game worlds that have already been produced. But..."

After a pause, she added: "According to the information I know and some external phenomena, it is speculated that the game world will also have a completely different nature."

"What do you mean?" Yang Yuan asked.

Lu Mei explained: "Just like the chicken-eating games and racing games in the earth age, there may be overlaps, but they are definitely not the same game. Another example is Tetris and whack-a-mole games, which must be completely different in nature."

Yang Yuan suddenly asked: "What is the nature of Creation Continent?"

"The nature of breaking through levels, plus the nature of solving puzzles." Lu Mei said.

Yang Yuan nodded: "What about the phenomenon? What will happen when the building falls? I feel threatened. After the building falls, it will never be peaceful."

"Mr. Yang Yuan has stood too high and has begun to ignore the foot of the mountain?" Lu Mei suddenly asked something puzzling.

However, Zhao Jiayan suddenly reacted: "You don't mean to say that the building did not appear on the Creation Continent in a mysterious way, but actually fell from the sky in such a physical way..."

"I have to ask Mr. Yang Yuan." Lu Mei said.

"..."

Yang Yuan had nothing to say. His Luobao Gourd was to force all objects illuminated by the Luobao's light to fall.

If the building is big, or even if it is not big, but because the level is high enough and the power is big enough——

What kind of terrifying movement would it cause if it fell from an unknown height in the sky?

The fall of meteorites in the past earth era may have led to the extinction of life on earth.

Such a building that surpassed the sky level fell down...

"Will Fortune Continent be destroyed?" Yang Yuan asked.

"Mr. Yang Yuan, the little girl is just a small mountain god, not an omnipotent god." Lu Mei was helpless.

"I thought you had the authority to know more about it."

Regrettably, Yang Yuan suddenly asked, "Do you want to leave the game?"

Lu Mei's silver-gray pupils flickered slightly: "I want to get rid of the mountain god status, and I want to become a player."

"The players should also be controlled by the game government?" Zhao Jiayan asked.

Lu Mei didn't answer this question, obviously this was out of her scope of consideration.

There is no way to get the best of both worlds, at least she can't think of it.

"Have you thought of a way?" Yang Yuan asked.

Lu Mei turned her head to look at the mountain god statue on the main hall, and talked about a topic that seemed unrelated to this: "The mountain god statue and the mountain god mountain are integrated, regardless of each other. To a certain extent, the mountain god statue is my body. Now I'm just a clone."

"Where is the order of the mountain god?" Yang Yuan asked again.

"The Mountain God Order is a soul-like existence bred by the Mountain God Mountain." Lu Mei explained.

Yang Yuan understood, pondered for a while, and said: "I can directly transform you, so that you should be able to get rid of the shackles of Shanshen Mountain, but the flaw is very serious, and you will never be able to escape from me. Rely on adventure to increase strength."

Lu Mei was silent, apparently unable to accept such a flaw, because her goal in life was to settle accounts with the game government, and it was impossible to stay by Yang Yuan's side.

"Is there any other way?" she asked in a low voice.

Yang Yuan was about to speak.

Suddenly Jiang Yiyi suddenly looked at the corner of the side hall.

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan noticed Jiang Yiyi's behavior and turned around abruptly.

Lu Mei also looked over suspiciously, and the mental storm that enveloped the entire Shanshen Mountain was faintly fluctuating.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded: "Maybe I can help you."

As the sound came out, a dark figure slowly condensed from the virtual to the real corner of the hall.

This figure was more than five meters high, like a black mountain, exuding an uncomfortably cold aura.

"Who?"

Yang Yuan, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi raised their arms subconsciously, about to shoot arrows.

Lu Mei was also facing a formidable enemy. You know, even if Yang Yuan and the others used the space gate to directly enter the Mountain God Mountain, she could detect it immediately.

But she didn't know how the mysterious existence in front of her entered the Mountain God Mountain.

"I am the Shadow Demon, an existence that walks freely in the game world."

The Phantom Demon ignored the threat of Yang Yuan and the other three, and walked towards them slowly, with a trace of mystery in his voice: "I heard your conversation, maybe I can help you realize your wish."

Lu Mei's silver-gray eyes flashed with expectation, but she asked with a vigilant look: "Can you fulfill my wish? My wish is to get rid of the shackles of the Mountain God Mountain."

The Shadow Demon smiled slightly and took out a black gem from his body: "This is the heart of darkness. With it, you can freely control your own destiny and no longer be bound by anything."

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan looked at each other and frowned slightly.

The two have doubts about the Shadow Demon's identity and true intentions.

"I think it's better for you not to trust him casually." Yang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Lu Mei nodded, even though she is not very familiar with Yang Yuan, but compared with this unexpected visitor, Yang Yuan is at least human: "Let me tell you about your identity first, are you from outside the sky? Or, you are the game government yourself people? Besides, why are you helping me? What is your purpose?"

"That's right, I come from beyond the sky. It's such a big show. I really came to see the show, but it turned out... let alone, it was a disaster without reason. I was dragged down by a ray of light."

When the Phantom Demon said this, he was quite angry.

Yang Yuan, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi remained calm and did not respond.

And the Phantom Demon quickly got rid of that emotion, looked at Lu Mei, and said with a half-smile: "You want to know my identity? Okay, I am the agent of the abyss. Of course, my identity in the outside world is a Members named 'Shadow Adventure Group', our Shadow Adventure Group, can be regarded as the free adventure group in the game of the heavens, we all have one pursuit, that is - freedom. I am willing to help you because I believe that you also pursue freedom .”

"It's that simple?"

Yang Yuan asked: "The heart of darkness is a rare thing, right? The use of strange things comes with a price."

Lu Mei's eyes remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but ask: "What's the price?"

"cost……"

The Phantom Demon pondered for a while, and said: "The price is that, like me, you become the representative of the abyss. From then on, you are a person without a shadow, and you are a shadow yourself, and you can only live in the shadow forever, just like me, I used to be not what I am now, this heart of darkness is a strange thing of the sky, but at the same time, it is also a strange thing, a strange thing produced by the 'Abyss', a strange thing that you can't imagine."

abyss?

A combination of heavenly wonders and ghosts?
Everyone present felt miraculous.

"What is the abyss?" Lu Mei asked with a frown, very wary of this word.

"Abyss..."

The Phantom Demon smiled, and his eyes were quite meaningful: "According to the very ancient records, it should be a world similar to your Good Fortune Continent, but the game government has gone too far, and the whole world tried its best to resist, more than [-]% Voluntary sacrifice of life, integrated itself into the will of the world, the whole world became a whole, and has since become a living world. If this incident did not happen, your world would probably have come to that point, really... Pity."

Yang Yuan and the others looked at each other, and they all saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

"It's a pity that such a big show was disturbed by a ray of light. The fall of the temporary authority building of the game government is a huge loss for the game government, but it is a big loss for the Fortune Continent. Big opportunity."

The Phantom Demon sighed with emotion, smiled, and continued: "The heart of darkness is also called the 'heart of freedom', it can make you complete. That's right, complete in the true sense, even if your soul is deprived, You have been forcibly enslaved. You can use this to become complete and no longer bound, but the price is to become a member of the abyss."

"Then what? What will Abyss ask me to do?" Lu Mei asked.

She will never be restricted by anyone, otherwise she would have directly agreed to Yang Yuan's plan before.

The Phantom Demon said with a half-smile: "If you were asked to fight against the game government, would you agree?"

Lu Mei's eyes flashed brightly: "I will!"

She said it very firmly.

The Phantom Demon's eyes lit up: "It's actually a companion, so you don't have to worry. As long as you always stand on the opposite side of the game government, the abyss will not do you any harm, and will even try to help you."

Zhao Jiayan couldn't help but ask: "This is a mountain temple. What you say will not be monitored by the game government?"

"Do you think the game government is so idle? And what if you hear it? Billions of lives will say things like mine every day, but after endless years, won't it still be like that?"

The Shadow Demon didn't care. He looked at Lu Mei again: "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. It's up to you whether you want to choose. I just happened to fall here. I heard what you said and helped you. A handful... By the way, this Heart of Darkness costs money to buy. I can give it to you on credit in advance, but in the future, you need to pay me a cosmic crystal."

"What is the cosmic crystal?" Lu Mei asked.

"It's a currency, you can't use it now, just remember it."

The Shadow Demon directly threw the Heart of Darkness over.

Lu Mei caught it subconsciously: "There is no need to sign any agreement? Are you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

"Hehe, no life dares to owe me money."

The Shadow Demon smiled coldly, and then smiled again: "Of course, since you are a traveler, I can allow you to delay the repayment, unless you can't think about it anymore and want to side with the game government. "

As soon as the voice fell, his figure disappeared slowly just like when he came.

"Wait, how to use it?" Lu Mei asked hastily.

"Swallow."

The Shadow Demon completely disappeared.

"It's gone." Jiang Yiyi whispered.

Yang Yuan nodded and looked at Lu Mei: "Are you really going to use this Heart of Darkness?"

"Or does Mr. Yang Yuan have a better solution?" Lu Mei asked back.

Yang Yuan was silent. At least for now, he had no good way to help Lu Mei get rid of the shackles of the mountain temple.

"Then bless me."

There was a crazy smile in Lu Mei's dead eyes: "It's nothing more than death."

After finishing speaking, she swallowed the black stone directly.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of Yang Yuan and the others, her whole body became pitch black, and the shadow under her feet disappeared... No, to be precise, the shadow shrank back and merged with her.

This process is very short and ends in just a few seconds.

"How is it?" Zhao Jiayan asked.

"I sensed it."

Lu Mei, who had turned into a black humanoid creature, turned around, looked at her god statue, waved her hand, and a ray of light flew out of the god statue and sank into her body.

"Bam—"

The statue of the mountain god collapsed directly, turned into powder, and scattered with the wind.

At the same time, a godhead flew out.

"Boom—"

A bloody lightning suddenly appeared over the entire Mountain God Mountain, but it was not known whether it was because Lu Mei was not really dead or for some other reason. This bloody lightning was very small.

Everyone on the Mountain God looked at the sudden bloody lightning in surprise.

Chang Xinyu, who was helping a group of ordinary people hoe the ground, changed his expression and hurriedly turned into a streamer and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

Inside the mountain temple.

Lu Mei's whole aura changed, not becoming stronger, but becoming vague.

If he couldn't see her with his eyes, he would think she didn't exist at all.

"The feeling of freedom..."

Lu Mei felt that her connection with Shanshen Mountain had disappeared, and her spirit was a little crazy, but she whispered very calmly in her heart: "Although I don't know what the abyss is yet, this is what I want!"

Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Because the current Lu Mei is obviously not human anymore.

"The Heart of Darkness should be a kind of strange thing like pollutants."

Zhao Jiayan said in surprise: "Are you still yourself now?"

"Yes, I'm still that Lu Mei, but my soul seems to have a sustenance. I...have become an immortal existence."

Lu Mei's voice was a little strange: "Even if I really die, the abyss will resurrect me. It turns out that this is the abyss."

Yang Yuan frowned, feeling that this abyss was so evil.

"Meishan God..."

At this time, Chang Xinyu rushed into the mountain temple and saw that where the statue originally was, there was only one godhead left, and his expression suddenly changed.

"I am here."

Lu Mei walked out of the side hall.

Chang Xinyu turned around, and when she saw Lu Mei who had become like a three-dimensional shadow, she was surprised and said, "How did you become like this?"

At this time, she saw Yang Yuan and the others and hurriedly bowed: "My benefactor, you are also there."

Both Yang Yuan and Zhao Jiayan nodded, looking at Lu Mei and the godhead floating in mid-air with complicated emotions.

The godhead at this moment may be because it has become an ownerless thing, and like before, it reflects the entire mountain temple, and then makes the mountain temple shine, shining for hundreds of miles.

"I didn't expect that the godhead that I couldn't see with my own eyes at the beginning, but now I can see it again."

Yang Yuan sighed with emotion, looking at the mountain god godhead who was just a symbol, his eyes were a little strange.

He originally thought that the godhead of the mountain god should be something similar to the core of a spirit.

But the fact is that this mountain god's divine personality is just a symbol, a symbol that looks like an 'F'.

"F, is it a grade?" Zhao Jiayan was puzzled.

"It's a sequence."

Lu Mei said: "F is the lowest level of authority, lower than F, that is G, that is, NPC, but NPC has almost no authority and can only perform inherent tasks."

"Real games...why do you feel that the more you look at it, the more evil it becomes?" Zhao Jiayan said with a frown.

"God Meishan, what's the situation now?" Chang Xinyu interjected and asked with a puzzled expression.

Why is Meishan God clearly still alive, but...

"Could it be that your benefactor helped you strip off your divine personality?" She looked happy.

Lu Mei didn't explain, she turned to look at Yang Yuan: "No matter what, thank you Mr. Yang Yuan. The people in Shanshen Mountain belong to you, and you can deal with them no matter what you want."

After saying this, she suddenly said: "Can you let go of the shackles of sister Xinrou's rank?"

"I can't let go, but I can give her another boost."

Yang Yuan took a look at Chang Xinyi's experience, and then directly read her up to level 21.

Chang Xinyan, who is at level 21, can already respond to prayers within a thousand kilometers and travel at the speed of light.

In addition, her strength has been increased proportionally. Although she is still at the late human level in terms of breath, it gives people a feeling that she is not weaker than the earth level.

"Let's be like this for now. The next time we meet, maybe it can make you stronger. This kind of improvement has stages."

Yang Yuan looked at Chang Xinyu: "Actually, I suggest that you stay by my side for a while, and I can quickly improve your strength."

Chang Xinyu felt her soaring power, and couldn't help asking: "How long is this time?"

"It depends on you, but as long as you live a normal life, you will be able to reach the fourth-order wonder at the most half a month." Yang Yuan said.
