Regarding the Double Ninth Festival, the earliest record comes from "Xu Qi Xie Ji" of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
"In Huanjing, Runan, I have been traveling with Fei Changfang for many years. The elder said that there will be a disaster in your home on September 9th, and you should go there urgently. He ordered everyone in the family to make a red bag, fill it with dogwood to tie around their arms, and climb up to drink chrysanthemum wine.
, this snail disaster can be eliminated.
Jing Ruyan went hiking with his family.
Returning in the evening, I saw a dog, an ox, a goat, and a sheep suddenly dead. The eldest brother heard about it, and this is what happened.
In today's world, people climb high and drink wine for nine days, and women carry dogwood bags. This is where the lid begins."
Climbing mountains, drinking wine, planting dogwood... everything is to fight against the legendary plague that wreaks havoc on the world and kills people.
"Xunxian" adopts the same setting.
[Plague Demon], an active monster, is only refreshed during the Double Ninth Festival.
This is an invisible monster that will randomly possess any NPC or wild spirit, and over time, it will infect all other nearby creatures.
Just like that advertising slogan.
If you have onychomycosis, one person will infect two people.
Monsters possessed by [Plague Demon] will become ferocious, brutal and aggressive - their offensive and defensive attributes will become the level of elite monsters, and as time goes by, the level and rank will further increase, which makes people grow old.
What's interesting is that after killing it, [Plague Demon] will also possess other monsters, such as infinite nesting dolls.
There is only one way to stop it.
Defeat them with special BUFF.
During the event, players can buy [Chrysanthemum Wine] from the NPC event merchant. After drinking it, they can increase the upper limit of blood volume and obtain the additional BUFF of [Plague Demon Buster], which can cause additional damage to the Plague Demon.
In addition, during the event, players who defeat any monster will have the opportunity to obtain the prop [Cornus], which can be used to give to NPCs to increase their favorability, or they can also be used directly to obtain a random BUFF that lasts for 1 hour and reduce the damage of [Plague Demon].
[Plague Demon] If defeated by a player carrying any of the above BUFFs, it will be severely damaged, temporarily lose the ability to possess, and appear in the real world. Only then can the player truly eliminate it.
Overall, this is not an easy task.
But for the fourth natural disaster, as long as the rewards are enough, difficulty has never been a problem.
"Hahaha! It's shipped! It's shipped! The fourth-level magic weapon is the plague-avoiding bead! Labor and management are getting rich!"
"Fuck, why do I only have the third-level weapon [Headache and Brain Heat Hammer] here? What a stupid name..."
After the [Plague Demon] is defeated, it will not only drop a large amount of mission points, but also randomly drop various rare props, magic weapons, and weapons - even according to the official statement, theoretically, as long as you are European enough, you still have a chance.
Drop the [Plague God’s Encouraging Kindness Technique], a practice technique.
[Plague Demon] is a monster that takes time to develop. In the early stages of its birth, the combat power of elite monsters is only comparable to that of players of the same level.
Although the refresh location is random, there are too many players.
Event tasks are available regardless of race or camp.
Regardless of the time, humans, immortals, demons, demons, ghosts, and monsters all put aside their hatred for each other at this moment - as soon as countless plague demons from all over Kyushu came, they were ambushed for a long time, wearing dogwood on their waists and mouths.
Players who shouted for a swig of chrysanthemum wine were surrounded and killed.
These monsters, which had taken away so many lives in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, had no room to show their abilities, so they just drank in hatred on the spot.
The situation is almost one-sided.
——————
By the way.
The battle between man and the incarnation of the plague is in full swing, but as the protagonist, Gou Adu has not gained much benefit.
As we mentioned in the previous chapter, Gou Adu's magic weapon was damaged due to the failure of Devouring Evolution. Not only did he lose a magic weapon in vain, but more importantly, because he was too noisy, Yinglong flicked it away with his finger.
But Gou Adu was not discouraged.
The game has tortured me thousands of times, and I treat the game like my first love - no matter what, the Double Ninth Festival missions have rich rewards, so I definitely can't give up so easily.
He rode a dragon and traveled a long way, hurrying slowly, and finally returned to the land.
But what he saw were players all over the mountains and plains.
...There are just too many people.
[Plague Demon] is refreshed randomly.
Before it appeared, no one knew that he would possess the monster - this transformation would be completed in an instant, and the possessed monster would basically not survive more than a second before it would be killed by countless people.
The attack was directly overwhelmed.
It's just a matter of whether you have a fast hand or a slow hand.
This is very unfriendly to melee attackers like Gou Adu.
No matter how powerful and heavy the Zen staff is, it cannot be faster than the spells and flying swords.
When Gou Adu saw the [Plague Demon] appear, before he could rush forward, the opponent had already been bombarded to pieces and turned into powder.
In short, I couldn't even drink the soup.
It's not just possessed monsters.
Almost all the leveling areas below level 60 in the current game have been occupied by players. As soon as any panting monster appears inside, it will be directly overwhelmed and killed by attacks from all directions, leaving no one alive.
Even if it's not a possessed monster...it can still drop [Cornus].
In this case, as the protagonist of this book, Gou Adu made a very risky decision in an instant.
Enter the 60+ leveling zone single-handedly.
As we said before, LV60+, in the game "Xunxian", this level has passed the first catastrophe, reborn, and is no longer an ordinary creature.
Their fighting prowess is simply incomparable to anything else.
Gou Adu rode a dragon and came to a place called Qinshan, where a pig-shaped mythical beast lived - [Dangkang].
[Dangkang], level LV61-85, earth genus, seeing it will make the world great.
Strictly speaking, Dangkang is an auspicious animal. Once it appears, it means that this year will be a good harvest.
But Gou Adu can't control this.
[Dangkang] is shaped like a huge wild boar that is more than ten feet long, and its habits are similar to those of a wild boar.
Living alone, the level has just passed 60. Although it is still powerful enough, there is at least a slight possibility of defeating it.
The most important thing is that as an auspicious beast, Dangkang is not very aggressive. As long as he does not take the initiative to provoke, he will not take the initiative to attack the player.
...unless he is possessed by [Plague Demon].
In the game, in order to prevent some powerful monsters with hundreds of levels from being infected, causing the situation to end uncontrollably, in the setting, only when the player approaches a certain monster group and stays nearby for more than 10 minutes, the [Plague Demon] will be randomly
Appear.
Like... right now.
Gou Adu had been following Dangkang from a distance for almost a quarter of an hour. Finally, a black mist fell from the sky and penetrated through Dangkang's nostrils.
The next second, several ferocious patterns appeared on the huge wild boar's body, and the hair on its body began to turn into sharp thorns, and even its fangs became sharper.
System prompt: "The alien beast [Dangkang] has been possessed by [Plague Demon], please kill nearby players as soon as possible..."
What followed was the unstoppable figure of the wild boar, which rushed towards him with red eyes.
