Chapter 162 What the Hell is a Surprise
In the darkness, silence fell in an instant.
After the gigantic head, covered in arms and legs, had emerged from the darkness, Li Muyang immediately pulled the Glass Immortal Maiden back, telling her not to step forward.
The monstrous entity in front of them was unnervingly bizarre; the weeping head was covered with messy limbs, resembling an ugly and nauseating human-spider.
Just the appearance alone was fatally offensive, causing physiological discomfort for those who beheld it.
The Glass Immortal Maiden instinctively wanted to draw her sword.
However, as the sword light of the Immortal Sword swept forth, it directly passed through that odd planchette spirit, without causing it any harm.
On the contrary, the weeping head let out a piercing cry and began to shake violently.
The next second, darkness flooded towards Li Muyang and her, drowning out the blue light that the wheel of anti-magic had released—extinguishing it in an instant.
[You have died, game over]
The moment the blue light disappeared, Li Muyang saw with his own eyes the strange limbs on the planchette spirit's head suddenly stretch out, sweeping towards him like a fierce storm.
"...Planchette spirits are this fierce?"
Forcibly ejected back into reality, Li Muyang murmured lowly, somewhat astonished.
Previously in "Fatal Weeds", during the third phase, this planchette spirit always dodged him. Amid that bunch of absurdly bizarre Evil Gods, the planchette spirit wasn't conspicuous at all, even having its leg chopped off by Granny Valley. Li Muyang had thought this thing was weak.
Who would have thought it'd be so ferocious?
Even under the strike of the Glass Immortal Maiden's Immortal Sword, it didn't suffer the slightest harm.
This kind of bizarre ability was truly terrifying.
Li Muyang pondered for a moment, then re-entered the game.
In "Call of the Mountains", Li Muyang did not use Jiang Xiaoyu's character card, and Constable Nameless had not eaten the planchette spirit's leg bone.
Therefore, facing Constable Nameless, the planchette spirit struck with a heavy blow.
Taking into account the opposition's strange abilities, Li Muyang decided to steer clear of this entity.
After reloading the game, he and the Glass Immortal Maiden ran a distance in the darkness. After roughly estimating the time, Li Muyang led the Glass Immortal Maiden around in a detour, trying to bypass the area where the planchette spirit was known to haunt.
However, after detouring for at least twenty li, they had already changed direction.
And this time, what appeared was not the planchette spirit.
At the moment when the demonic power descended from within the darkness, a blood-red health bar floated into view from the dark.
[Work God]
The blood-red sedan chair flashed in the darkness, then vanished.
The eerie crimson, like a sea of blood, inundated all around them.
In the face of Ancient Evil Gods, all living beings on this land are grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
After all, when the evil gods corrupt and poison creatures, they don't care if you're on the Path of Immortality or the Demon Path.
Thinking further about the purpose behind these Purple Mansion big shots forming a group, it seemed related to the impending destruction of the world, as if they were trying to save themselves... hmm... it seemed promising.
Li Muyang sat on the soft couch and pondered for a while, not continuing with the game but instead opening the chat group.
[Cang Su: Does anyone know the legend of the ancient grudge well?]
[Cang Su: This lord has personally visited the ancient grudge well and witnessed the horrifying scenes within. Would anyone like to hear me discuss it?]
Li Muyang repeated these two sentences in the group multiple times.
He knew that although all these big shots were offline, they could still sense the activities within the group.
The last time Zi Weiheng signed on and chatted with Li Muyang, the commotion had startled everyone else.
As expected, after Li Muyang repeated the two sentences six times, the avatars of group members started lighting up.
[Cang Su: This lord has personally visited the ancient grudge well, is no one curious about what's beneath it?]
After Li Muyang sent this message again, there was immediately a reply in the chat group.
[Perilous Lodging One: ???]
[Dou Sujiu: ???]
[Ghost Lodging Seven: ???]
A series of question marks appeared in the chat group.
Then came Heart Moon Fox, Heart Lodging Six.
[Heart Lodging Six: The ancient grudge well is but an unfounded tale. Cang Su, you jest with such talk, eliciting only laughter.]
Li Muyang chuckled.
[Cang Su: Don't believe me? Let me show you some evidence.]
With that, Li Muyang opened the game and loaded the save again.
This time, when he encountered the Evil God with the Glass Immortal Maiden, Li Muyang opened the game's screenshot feature and took a picture.
He then exported the image from the system and sent it to the chat group.
—Since it's all a game system, having a screenshot feature made sense.
It's just that Li Muyang never used it before, being busy with making his way through the game. It's not a dating game, why collect CGs for what?
This was Li Muyang's first time using the game's screenshot function.
However, after this image was sent to the chat group, the chat group instantly blew up.
A series of question marks appeared behind everyone's avatars.
