Chapter 73(1/2)
Hearing Qian Pangpang's words, Li Yan rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "I've thought about you too much. I've told you so many times, don't get too involved. This is just a game. It's obviously just asking for success in the thunderstorm."
"Um...but why is the thunder so loud?"
"Well, it seems that we must have really sought out the best kind of weather, that's why there is such strong thunder."
"You mean...the kind that can see dragons?" Qian Pangpang was startled and looked up outside.
But unfortunately, it was raining so hard outside that I couldn't see anything clearly.
The visibility was less than ten meters, and I couldn't even tell where the door outside was, so how could I look at the sky?
"That's right, so I think we need to be careful now." Li Yan suddenly reminded him.
"Huh? What are you being careful about?" Qian Pangpang suddenly became serious when he saw that Li Yan's expression was serious and didn't look like he was joking.
Li Yan did not joke with him, but continued to analyze rationally:
"If we pray for rain and it is really the best weather to see dragons, then I think there must be ghosts around the Dragon King Temple."
"There's nothing strange about this, right? This dungeon world is originally a ghost dungeon. Ghosts are all over the map. What's so unusual about the few ghosts outside the Dragon King Temple?"
"No, what I mean is that there should be an extremely powerful ghost around the Dragon King Temple, at least with the strength of three stars."
"Huh? How do you say that? How can you see it?" Qian Pangpang raised his eyebrows, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"You also know that if it is an ordinary thunderstorm, the thunder will not be so scary. Only in that kind of dragon shadow weather, when thunder and lightning randomly fall to kill evil spirits, can it be so powerful. Moreover, listen to the sound, it is
The area around the Dragon King Temple is very close to us."
"So it means that there is a ghost outside the Dragon King Temple, which was hit by the lightning just now!" Qian Pangpang nodded to express his understanding, and also asked a question: "But how did you judge the strength of this ghost?
"
Faced with Qian Pangpang's question, Li Yan softly uttered three words: "Listen to the thunder."
"Thunder? What happened to the thunder?" Qian Pangpang asked in confusion.
"In the dungeon of Emperor Zheng, the thunder falling from the Dragon Shadow Sky can be distinguished."
"Depends on the length of time?" Qian Pangpang had heard of it occasionally before. When he was reminded by Li Yan's words, he immediately thought of it and immediately exclaimed.
Li Yan nodded and said: "That's right, it just depends on the length of time. It will be over in an instant. Even if you kill an imp with one star or below, the sound will only be a soft 'click'."
"Does the second star mean 'click, click', and the three stars will become 'click - click -'?"
"..." Li Yan was silent for a moment, and then said casually, as if he didn't hear Qian Pangpang's words: "Anyway, depending on the duration of the thunder, the power of the corresponding ghost can be determined.
Analyze it."
"Oh...it must be that there happens to be a ghost around, a coincidence?"
"I think it's just the opposite." Li Yan shook his head and said, "It's no accident that a three-star evil ghost appears here. Because of that player, all the ghosts around him have been wiped out. How can it happen that now it happens again?
Has a new evil spirit appeared?"
"What do you mean?"
"This three-star ghost has probably locked onto the auras of you and me and followed us here."
"But no matter what, since this evil ghost has been killed by the thunder, there is no need for us to worry, right?"
Li Yan shook his head again and said, "What I'm afraid of is that this evil ghost might not have been struck to death by lightning."
"Huh? What kind of ghost has a chance of not being hacked to death?"
"Ghost head evil."
The moment Li Yan heard the thunder, he couldn't help but think of the [Human-Headed Ghost] he had killed at the beginning of the dungeon.
The human-headed ghost is a very strange ghost.
Although each kind of ghost has its own unique features, the human-headed ghost can still be regarded as the best among ghosts.
First of all, the conditions for this kind of ghost to appear are very rare. It needs to be decapitated with resentment before death, and the body and head must be separated before it has the chance to turn into a human-headed ghost.
Usually in this case, what appears are headless ghosts.
Only a very small part of them will use their heads to gather resentment and turn into human-headed ghosts.
The human-headed ghost is not very strong, but has strong perception and can easily detect the sounds around it.
A stranger who has spread incense ashes has a high chance of being noticed in front of the human-headed ghost.
Although this is the case, it stands to reason that as long as you are not surrounded by ghosts, you don't have to worry about encountering human-headed ghosts. After all, human-headed ghosts are weak and there are not many in number.
But there are exceptions to everything.
A single human-headed ghost is weak, but when several or even a dozen human-headed ghosts gather together, there is a high possibility that a powerful ghost called "Ghost-Headed Demon" will appear.
This kind of ghost usually appears on battlefields or execution grounds, where human heads are piled up.
It can be said to be one ghost, or it can be said to be many.
Because it is originally formed by the aggregation of many human-headed ghosts, it is a kind of incredible ghost.
Li Yan was now very suspicious that the human-headed ghost he had killed before was one of the ghost-headed evil spirits.
The human-headed ghost had a weak evil spirit all over his body, which was something that normal ghosts did not possess.
At that time, Li Yan sensed something was wrong and hurriedly left that place.
Therefore, it is very possible that the headless ghost met a human-headed ghost that was alone from the ghost-headed demon, and then suppressed it by force.
After the ghost-headed ghost sensed that a part of himself had been taken away, he originally chased the headless ghost.
But it happened that Li Yan killed both the headless ghost and the human-headed ghost, which transferred the hatred and the ghost-headed ghost would continue to chase him.
Li Yan took the blame for no reason, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, ghosts are of low intelligence and cannot reason with strangers.
Moreover, the ghost-headed demon has a very strong sense of perception. As long as it pursues it, it will definitely follow it and it will be difficult to get rid of it.
At the same time, because the ghost-headed demon is composed of many human-headed ghosts, when it encounters a fatal threat, it can quickly transfer all the injuries to one or several of them, using this trick to survive.
It's the same as the life-saving tricks like nine-tailed fox, three-tailed cat, lizard spirit, etc.
Coincidentally, at this time, the rain outside had eased a lot, and the visibility had greatly improved.
Li Yan looked outside and saw that there was indeed a large cloud of black martial mist floating in the sky above the Dragon King Temple.
In this black mist, countless distorted human faces can be seen emerging from time to time, and then rolling and disappearing.
Li Yan's guess was correct, this was a group of extremely powerful ghost-headed evil spirits!
However, Li Yan was not too anxious or panicked, because the protective effect of the Dragon King Temple would last for a relatively long period of time.
And because of the thunder and lightning just now, the strength of the Ghost Head Sha, which was originally supposed to be four stars, has now dropped to three stars.
Moreover, on such a thunderstorm day where dragon shadows can be seen, if this ghost-headed evil spirit doesn't hide quickly, he will probably suffer a few lightning strikes.
A few more lightning strikes might kill it directly, leaving Li Yan to do it himself.
This ghost-headed evil spirit is very powerful. It can be said to be at the peak level in the same star class. Li Yanke has no confidence that he can kill it easily.
What's more, even if you kill it after a hard fight, you won't get much reward.
Li Yan will not do anything that is a waste of effort and does not thank anyone.
Shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders, Li Yan stopped caring about the ghosts outside and turned around to put away the incense burner on the altar table.
These incense ash are used in the entire dungeon and must be consumed continuously before the final Guandi Temple. Of course, the more the better.
As for those tributes, they had long since disappeared as the prayer for rain succeeded.
Just when Li Yan and Qian Pangpang had put away the incense burner and were searching for other props, a cough sounded in the corner of the Dragon King Temple.
"Ahem..." The voice was extremely weak, and the owner of the voice really seemed to be dying.
The man was wearing Taoist robes and a yellow scarf, it was Zhang Jiao.
The player was killed by lightning before, but this horn also survived.
Although his vitality was weak and his body was scarred, he still had a breath of air.
Seeing this, Li Yan was quite happy.
This corner is the NPC with the identity of the protagonist in this instance.
If there was no excessive interference from the players, Zhang Jiao would be the one who finally gathered ten [Emperor's Dragon Qi], successfully returned to the underworld, and became an emperor again.
Of course, there are many people who can return to the earth, and he is just one of them.
But in the plot, there is always nothing wrong with following the protagonist.
Moreover, this character's character in this dungeon is that of a relatively decent person, who can be considered trustworthy.
If Li Yan and the two saved his life, at least they would never be repaid with revenge.
You can even put on a layer of disguise for yourself to better hide your identity as a player.
Thinking of this, Li Yan simply took out a cross from his backpack and placed it in Zhang Jiao's hand.
