Only Player

Chapter 145 Everyone has their own unique skills
The flaming sword fell, causing a loud noise that shook the entire Devil's Forest.

Like a volcanic eruption, red magma exploded and splashed, tongues of flames danced, and waves of flames rolled, sweeping in all directions.

The burning wind enveloped every corner, and the horrible heat burned everything, evaporating the moisture, distorting the air, scorching the earth, and penetrating into every place, including the Devil Tree King. The trunks of the surrounding Devil Trees all burned with brilliant flames.

In just a moment, it turned into black ashes and dust.

This attack [Flame Sword] was a skill that Huo Yanluo had stored in advance. Any attack from a rank 7 god could be said to be earth-shattering, and coupled with the special effects of the three major fire elemental species, its power was simply terrifying.

The burning fire was everywhere, and in the midst of the red, a huge charred sword pit appeared on the ground. Brilliant flames burned violently in it, turning it into a sea of ​​​​hot fire.

The Demon Hound Knight knelt in the middle, half of his body was burned black and cracked, and his gorgeous metal armor melted into molten iron and flowed on the ground.

The health bar was emptied almost instantly, but if you look closely, you can see that there is actually a small amount of health left.

Zhou Yuan was a little surprised. He couldn't kill him with one blow?
The [Flame Sword] stored by Huo Yanluo must be a level 7 skill, and the Demon Hound is only level 65. Logically, it should have been killed instantly... However, considering that the strength of the monsters in the game has all been enhanced, this is not surprising.

It's not a big problem. The flames are burning, and the little blood left of the Demon Hound Knight is rapidly decreasing. It has been stunned and will definitely suffer burning damage for several seconds.

This amount of time is enough for the flames to burn it to death.

Sure enough, three seconds later, the last drop of the Demon Hound Knight's blood was burned dry, and he fell to the ground with a plop. His figure gradually turned into nothingness, and two props exploded, one glowing purple and the other glowing golden.

Zhou Yuan’s game level soared directly to LV57!

"Fortunately, I have the equipment given by Huo Yanluo, otherwise it would be dangerous this time." Zhou Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Who could have thought that one of the four kings under the devil would come to this place to wait? At that moment just now, he truly felt the shadow of death and almost thought that he was going to play in the resurrection match.

Fortunately, thanks to the support of his teammates, Bai Lang was able to take everyone into the air in time, thus avoiding being instantly killed by the Demon Hound Knight. This gave him room for subsequent operations, otherwise he would definitely have failed this time.

The Demon King is really sinister...

Zhou Yuan calmed himself down, flew away, and soon found his teammates scattered throughout the forest.

Because the impact of the explosion was so strong, several people flew very far away and were not affected by the flaming sword.

Huo Yanluo directly reached level 52. After all, the gloves that could store fire skills were bound to her soul, so she was also considered to have participated in the kill and received experience points.

Jiang Wuming, Bai Lang and Wei Er were unlucky and did not get any experience at all.

However, with two strong players in the team, their upgrade speed will definitely not be slow.

Huo Yanluo controlled the raging fire in the forest to gradually die down. The place was burned beyond recognition. The charred soil was emitting high-temperature steam, like a sauna, making it difficult to breathe.

She stepped forward and picked up two props.

[Hound Sword], [Holy Crystal].

The former is the weapon of the Demon Hound Knight.

The latter is a hidden item in the Devil's Forest. It is of golden legendary level and has a powerful divine purification power that can enhance the divine power hidden in the princess' body.

"In theory, this sacred crystal stone can only be obtained by players entering the Devil Tree King and completing a side quest."

Orc Will pushed his glasses and said, "But the Demon King's four kings have blocked the Novice Village. Obviously, the plot of the game has already gone out of control... Of course, there are certain limitations to going out of control. For example, the Demon King's hounds cannot take away the sacred crystals, so they can only stay here and kill all comers.

The same is certainly true for other places involving key props.”

"Take this knife." Huo Yanluo threw the hound knife to Zhou Yuan.

[Name: Hound Long Knife]

[Quality: Epic]

[Special Effect: Attacks have continuous tearing and bleeding effects. Possesses the skill "Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood".]

[A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood: Release a bloody slash, causing extremely high damage and bleeding effects to the target. The slash can be detonated remotely. 】

[Consumption: 3000 spiritual points]

[Note: I smell blood! ]

It's a good thing, but the skill consumes too much spiritual energy. Zhou Yuan thanked him and put away his weapon.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded in my ears.

[The exploration degree of this area has reached 100%, and all collection has been completed]

[Mission "Devil's Forest" completed]

[Task rating: S (experience points and star coin rewards increased to 150%)]

[Comment: A true player should leave no grass growing wherever he goes, and collecting everything is the best way! ]

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points*1800]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins*7500]

【LV29→LV30! 】

[Experience value: 750/1550]

[Available attribute points: 1]

Finally reached level 3!

Zhou Yuan was delighted, but he didn't feel the improvement in his rank very clearly, because his current game level had reached 57, which was equivalent to a 5th-level extraordinary person.

However, the ranks in the game are obviously different from those in the real world. Increasing the level only brings improvements to various attributes, but not the crucial elementalization.

But this is also a very precious experience. Being able to feel the power of a higher level in advance will be very helpful for future practice.

"Let's continue on our journey." Zhou Yuan exhaled, "Sister Luo and I are both level 50, so we can take you to higher-level dungeons."

"Then let's talk about the progress and go directly to the mid-term dungeon."

Orc Will pointed to a city on the map: "It's here, Night City."

"Wait a minute."

Huo Yanluo was incredulous. "Isn't this a medieval game of fighting monsters together? There were kingdoms and princesses before, so why is there cyberpunk now? And what kind of monsters could there be?"

"Chemical humans, biological weapons, cyber-psychopaths...even the [Beasts of Steel and Flesh] controlled by the super AI that controls the entire Night City." Will said.

"It feels like my worldview has changed. These are clearly two different games, right?" Huo Yanluo was stunned.

Jiang Wuming shrugged: "This game is originally a patchwork. Haven't you seen that many adventurers go out hunting with guns? Actually, you won't feel uncomfortable if you get more exposure to it.

Oh, by the way, there are Pokémon here, and I heard someone has already started a Masters Tournament. "

Zhou Yuan: “…”

"The Devil's Woods has been opened up."

In the gloomy palace, countless bubbles were suspended in the air. In each bubble, a variety of pictures emerged. The big devil sitting on the throne looked at one of the pictures calmly, which was the whereabouts of Zhou Yuan and his group.

"Huo Yanluo? That's not surprising. How could a 7th-level god not have some tricks up his sleeve?" A bohemian man glanced at her casually, not caring at all.

"Even a rank 7 god is disdainful of it. I can only say that this is worthy of being the land of truth." The Great Devil laughed like a puppet.

Soon, the laughter stopped. It stared coldly at the Night Lord from the Land of Truth and asked, "So, what do you want to do?" "Strike the Control Bureau."

Ye Jue said as a matter of course, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course we have to trip up the Control Bureau!"

He adjusted his tie and loudly announced the plan of the Town of Truth: "We plan to deploy mutants in various cities to cause chaos in their rear, and at the same time secretly arrange a large sacrificial formation..."

"It's boring."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice beside him.

The Painful Cultist from the Painful Miracle said: "Is there anything new in this? Why don't we launch a punishment purgatory and let everyone scream in pain during the torture? We can record the video and send it to every screen in the real world, so that the whole world can feel the pain!"

"Generally, it's better to have a super big silver party."

The followers of the Supreme Mother Goddess said excitedly, "More than 30 million outsiders, plus the millions of locals in the game plane, nearly 40 million people are carrying out reproduction activities...ah, just thinking about it makes me want to go! This will definitely go down in history and become the biggest stain on all mankind!"

"You can't think without your lower body, right? And wouldn't that give the Witch Association and those succubi, as well as those elves who are even more succubi than succubi, an advantage?"

The leader of the evil spirit cult sneered, "Obviously, torturing the soul is the most terrifying thing!"

“Since we are torturing their souls, why not torture their bodies as well? Sew them together with the bodies of animals and watch their expressions of utter despair, hehehe…”

"What's the point of stitching together animals? Otherwise, remove their bodies, leaving only their heads and feet, cosplay as Kirby, and let them retain their independent consciousness while having an extremely strong desire to eat shit..."

In the palace, the leaders from various evil organizations were arguing fiercely, each with their own unique skills.

"enough!"

The Great Devil interrupted them irritably, "I don't care what you want to do, but if you want to target me..."

At that moment, everyone felt a bone-chilling chill, as if the gates of hell opened before their eyes, and chaotic and disordered colors flashed before their eyes.

Brings a dizziness from the soul.

It only took a split second for their souls to almost shut down. If it had been a few more seconds, their souls would have collapsed and they would have turned into vegetables.

Has Bill's strength reached this level?

"Please rest assured, our goals are the same." Ye Jue paused, and then said, "Please don't send your men to level them up anymore."

The Four Heavenly Kings that were sent out have been completely killed. Not only did they fail to guard the key props, they also raised several players above level 50. It can be said that they lost both the wife and the army.

The Great Devil was somewhat helpless: "I thought I could let them take those key props, but I didn't expect that my influence on this world is still limited after all. I can only affect the development of the narrative to a small extent."

"Leave it to us next."

Ye Jue smiled and patted his chest to assure, "I will never let them set foot into the Demon King Mountain!"

Thus, the contract was concluded.

After plotting many plans, Ye Jue looked at the Great Demon King again: "I am very curious about the princess, can I go and see her?"

"She is imprisoned in a tower." The Great Demon King was not worried about these people playing any clever tricks because King Ghidorah was guarding there.

·
In the high tower.

Princess Amy lay on the soft bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

The Great Devil did not touch her, because the ritual to seize the divine power could only be carried out on the night of the blood moon. If she was harmed before that, it would affect the awakening of the divine power.

Click.

Just then, the door was pushed open and a man in a bow tie walked in.

"Who are you?" Princess Amy showed great vigilance.

Ye Jue did not answer. A dazzling light flashed in his eyes. He stared at Princess Amy for a long time, then turned and left without saying a word.

"How is it?" asked the people in charge outside.

"It's the real thing." Ye Jue nodded.

He had just used a secret method to check and confirmed that Princess Amy was the real person and not someone else in disguise - the Control Bureau was very likely to adopt this plan to conceal the truth.

At least his true eyes didn't see any problems.

·
Night City.

Steel buildings stand in rows, connected by aerial rail trains.

Colorful neon lights flickered, and a holographically projected giant whale swam in the sky.

Zhou Yuan looked up, then looked away, shaking his head, "It doesn't feel as good as outside."

"The level of technology outside is much higher than here." Jiang Wuming said. The technological explosion after the Third World War was no joke.

"Would you like to have a few drinks?" Huo Yanluo found a bar on the side of the road and wanted to go in for a drink.

"Let's combine work and rest and have a few drinks." Jiang Wuming said.

Entering the bar, everyone found a place to sit down and checked the progress of other teams while drinking.

"Well, the other three kings have also been dealt with." Zhou Yuan saw the message in the group.

"It's normal. There are many strong men like him." Will was not surprised.

"Then the Demon King's subordinates will no longer have high-end combat power, and we have taken all the key items..."

Jiang Wuming shouted, "The advantage is mine!"

"You can't say that, Xiao Jiang." Huo Yanluo glared at him.

[Why are you drinking here? The key NPC appears, in the alley outside. ]

At this moment, the Eye of Appraisal suddenly popped up a prompt, and Zhou Yuan almost spit out a mouthful of wine, but fortunately he suppressed it.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Zhou Yuan made an excuse to leave.

Outside the bar.

Suddenly a head popped out of the trash can with a banana peel on it. The girl looked around, and after making sure there was no one there, she quickly climbed out and ran away.

After running a few steps, I saw a figure walking out of the shadows.

It was Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan stared at the dirty girl in a tattered coat, wondering, is this the key NPC mentioned by the Eye of Appraisal?

[A girl who ran away from home, she has many secrets hidden in her body, use your charm to dig them out! ]

"My name is Wang Zhen, what's your name?" Zhou Yuan smiled a businesslike smile. His friendly aura visibly lowered the girl's vigilance.

"My name is... Weiwei." The girl said timidly.

"Are you having trouble? I can help you."

Weiwei stared at Zhou Yuan with her big watery eyes for a long while, then covered her stomach and whispered:
"I'm hungry."
