The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 274 Blood Sun (21)

The bite site was bleeding profusely and had not yet healed.

Blood flowed down the delicate skin to the wrist, about to drip onto the swarm of insects.

The spiritual fire instantly covered and burned, turning into carbon powder as it dripped down and scattered with the wind.

The burned wound, no longer affected by the toxins, had healed, but left a shallow scar. Su Ninglong casually flicked it away.

The sight of blood also ignited Su Ninglong's ferocity.

She fed the bamboo shoot with spiritual energy, which greatly increased its flight speed, allowing it to whiz overhead in the sea of ​​insects.

Just then, the solar eclipse began.

The earth was shrouded in a veil, and the blood-red sun's light dimmed considerably.

Su Ninglong felt that the concentration of spiritual energy seemed to have increased. She also arrived at her destination and saw the door that had no support.

It stands there in an open space, covered in moss, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.

If this were actually in a game, players would love to touch this kind of door; the texture is so good that they would definitely admire the skill of the game's artist.

Su Ninglong, however, realized that the door was actually a copy of the "Bronze Door" style.

She pieced together the fragments Kong Lingzhong had given her and inserted the key into the lock before the swarm of insects arrived.

But the door did not open as expected; only its edges lit up, and a crack slowly appeared...

Su Ninglong: "..."

Watching helplessly as the swarm of insects approached, with not even a crack in the door wide enough for a person to pass through, she could only grit her teeth and increase her altitude.

The Bloodworm boss relentlessly pursued Su Ninglong. All the insects shared a common consciousness with the boss; having tasted Su Ninglong's blood, they could never forget it.

The blood, brimming with spiritual energy, is like the finest wine, making it irresistible to the insects.

The aerial chase was not over, but the battle on the other side of the defense line had entered a fierce stage, with both sides fighting with great ferocity.

The baby-faced secretary was surrounded and attacked. A piece of flesh was cut off his forehead. He rolled to the ground, dodging the cold arrows shot from the shadows.

"Vice Captain, I advise you not to insist. Let us pass, and you'll suffer fewer losses. It's just a useless boss; it's not like it'll force you out of the game."

After a sneak attack, the hunters from the Star Alliance stepped forward, speaking arrogantly in an attempt to demoralize the enemy.

The baby-faced secretary quickly stood up and hid behind a player with a shield. "How do you know it's useless if we haven't even fought the boss?"

"Didn't Su Ninglong say this? It's all over. She's cold-hearted and ruthless. I can't understand how you could still cooperate with her after knowing the truth. She only wants what's on the boss; she doesn't care about your lives. What do you gain by standing on her side and fighting for her?"

It must be said that these inflammatory words were very powerful. The people below did not know Su Ninglong's plan. She clearly said that there would be no result they wanted behind the door, so why did they still have to fight the boss?

But the battle had already begun, and without a strong and powerful intervenor, it was impossible for it to stop after a few words of conversation; on the contrary, it became even more intense.

Kong Lingzhong's side was on the verge of collapse, not understanding why they had to hold the line. Their morale was waning, but if they didn't fight, the defeat would only be worse.

The baby-faced secretary was anxious, but she couldn't admit that she didn't know Su Ninglong's plan either.

All he knew was that she wanted to take drastic measures, such as fighting the boss, in order to clean up the contaminated area.

But there's no basis for this claim, and nobody believes it.

"Stand on our side, and we will try our best to satisfy whatever you want. Lay down your weapons."

"Why don't you go over there? Because you're stupid!" A clear voice suddenly rang out from not far away.
Then came the sound of weapons clashing. Lei Qingya, holding a long spear, pinned the two-star hunter of the Star Glory Alliance to the ground in a single exchange, snatched the sacred artifact from his hand, and pointed the spear tip at his throat.

“When did it become your place to question what we Star Alliance do?”

The two-star hunter froze, his eyes fixed on Lei Qingya's furious figure.

He was horrified, feeling a gash on his neck, the cold air mingling with the warm blood, like death itself was calling.

“You can’t kill me. We are all hunters. The Star Alliance prides itself on being righteous. If you kill me, you’ve crossed the line.”

Lei Qingya scoffed, "You're courting death."

She wouldn't kill him, but she could cripple him; she didn't hesitate to launch a mental attack.

The hunter didn't even have time to struggle; his pupils lost their light in an instant, and he became like a wooden puppet.

Lei Qingya's face paled, but she steadied herself. She sensed the sneak attack from behind, but did not move.

The spear transformed into a shield, blocking the supernatural attack launched by the second Star Alliance.

After the shield absorbed the first blow, the second blow came down quickly, but was intercepted by a staff that stretched out horizontally.

"Isn't it a bit impolite for the juniors of the Star Alliance to be fighting and killing in front of their seniors?" The voice sounded gentle, but for some reason, it gave people goosebumps.

Looking up in the direction of the sound, the remaining two hunters from the Star Alliance were terrified.

The stunningly beautiful woman with golden eyes leaned on her cane and smiled nonchalantly: "Do you think our Star Alliance hunters are all dead? How dare you collude with villains and openly attack ordinary people?"

Before the other party could answer, Star Eclipse Staff was raised and struck at the hunter who wanted to kill Lei Qingya first. "You pointy-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow, your mind is filthy too."

With that knock, the sacred artifact was destroyed. The hunter's eyes widened in anger, his eyeballs bulging out, but he was suppressed by Tong Zi's imposing aura and couldn't utter a sound.

He knelt on the ground, the tip of Star Eclipse's staff pressed against his face.

Soon, a feeling of powerlessness came over him, and he couldn't even lift his fingers. It was like... like his superpowers were draining away. He panicked and wanted to beg for mercy.

But Tong Zi's icy gaze from above made him hunch over.

If they had known earlier that Tong Zi and Lei Qingya had entered the game, they definitely wouldn't have revealed their participation in the battle, and they would have been much more cautious.

If five-star hunters are an insurmountable barrier, then four-star hunters are an insurmountable mountain, an inescapable obstacle for hunters below three stars.

The Star Alliance sent three four-star hunters to cause trouble, but due to the unique nature of "Blood Sun," they got completely caught in a strange loop. Who could have predicted that the game would have such an amazing feature as zone management? The three two-star hunters simply couldn't cross space to team up with other four-star hunters.

Without the help of four-star hunters, the strength of the Star Alliance hunters is not even on the same level as Tong Zi.

With Tong Zi and Lei Qingya taking action, the fight ended in a crushing defeat, and the villainous players were eliminated one by one by Lei Qingya.

The elite hunters of the Star Alliance are incredibly powerful; their slender figures can fall down in the blink of an eye, which is terrifying.

What's even more amazing is that Lei Qingya can fly, moving through the air like a nimble bird, making her impossible to hit. The baby-faced secretary breathed a sigh of relief, only realizing her back was drenched in sweat when she relaxed.

If Lei Qingya and Tong Zi hadn't arrived in time, they would probably have perished together.

All the villainous players were tied up, and the three members of the Star Alliance were fitted with energy-binding rings to temporarily seal their powers. Once they were released, they would be sealed to death.

Taking advantage of their status as hunters to bully their own kind, they deserve to die.

Although the situation on the battlefield has turned around, the matter is not over yet.

The solar eclipse has arrived, and the monsters are becoming increasingly agitated, migrating en masse towards areas with players.

Tong Zi leaned against a large rock, listening to the information reported by her baby-faced secretary. She knew Su Ninglong; the boss must have something that targeted the contaminated area, which was why she chose this time to kill the boss.

"Is Ms. Tong going to meet the boss, or staying here?" the baby-faced secretary asked tentatively.

"As long as Su Ninglong is there at the boss's place, we'll be fine. If we stay here, we'll all die together. Let's shift the defensive line. In this situation, if anyone still dares to take the shortcut, I respect them as heroes."

Those disgusting players, who pretend to be fearless and torture people with perverted methods, are actually more afraid of death than anyone else.

A bunch of cowards, only good at bullying ordinary people. Even Kong Lingzhong's mere presence makes them back down. The Star Alliance hunters are no match for them.
Once they fall into Su Ninglong's hands, how they die is not something they can decide for themselves.

Upon hearing that the defensive line had been shifted, the players were initially overjoyed, but then became worried again, "Is... Teacher Tong going too?"

The eclipse will last for several hours; if you don't want to die, you have no choice but to fight it off.

Tong Zi glanced at them. "Given the current situation, I have no choice but to stay."

The players were overjoyed that Tong Zi was willing to stay, expressing their gratitude and saying that the Star Alliance hunters were reliable and dependable.

"Miss Lei...are you tired? We have a hovercar here, you can take a short rest."

Lei Qingya gave the villainous players a severe beating, breaking their bones and leaving her fair, rosy cheeks stained with blood.

Even though she is ruthless, she gives people the impression that she is soft and delicate in private.

After undergoing the marrow cleansing treatment, she could no longer get tanned and regain her former bronze complexion, and her temperament increasingly resembled that of Su Ninglong.

The other players stared in disbelief, their eyes glued to Lei Qingya.
Tong Zi chuckled to herself, touching her own face, "Lei Lei, how did you cultivate such an aura?"

Lei Qingya casually brushed the dust off his body, finding Tong Zi's behavior inexplicable. How could he possibly raise her? He'd just raise her roughly, letting her eat and sleep as usual.

Tong Zi's gaze was meaningful.

Following that mischievous gaze to the group of players, Lei Qingya recalled the current trend and roughly understood what it meant. He shamelessly replied, mimicking Su Ninglong, "Fairies should be naturally beautiful, right?"

The word "fairy" is simple and easy to understand. Tong Zi rolled her eyes. Su Ninglong has corrupted those around her at such a young age. They all have skin as thick as steel, and no matter how you poke them, they can't be broken.

……

The venomous snake was still circling underground, unable to find Su Ninglong. It took several hours. Later, disregarding secrecy, it gathered dozens of players to go in, but they still couldn't find the exit.

There was really no other way but to draw the map bit by bit.

After the map was displayed, Viper knew he had been tricked. He could only see the entrance, not the exit. "She did it on purpose, she definitely did it on purpose, to delay me."

He hated Su Ninglong to the core; what a monster she was.

The original hunter was speechless. How did Su Ninglong's brain work? She had eight hundred schemes in her head.

"There shouldn't be any pre-set traps. Didn't you notice that this passage doesn't resemble the style of this game world?"

The venomous snake turned its gloomy gaze to the former hunter, unwilling to waste time guessing, and asked directly, "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember Shen Zhaoming who was with Su Ninglong? And the large number of monsters that died?" The former hunter was big-chested but not brainless. Based on the logical analysis of Su Ninglong's movements, he said, "This passage should have been created by Shen Zhaoming. His ability is data analysis. It may not be very useful in the real world, but in the game world, he can be a god."

The viper narrowed its eyes. "Explain it clearly once and for all."

"Isn't it obvious? He created this passage to attract the attention of the Blood Sun, his purpose being to find something underground. So it's not a trap, just a deception. If there's an entrance, there's an exit. Otherwise, why would he risk attracting so many monsters just to cause you trouble? You think too highly of yourself."

The seemingly spoiled hunter is actually more clear-headed than an angry viper.

"You came up with this yourself?" Viper asked suspiciously, feeling that she wasn't like the usual hunter.

Normally, the hunter's mind is full of romance and he likes to tease handsome men, so these words sound somewhat incongruous coming from her mouth.

"I just enjoy the adoration this body brings, but that doesn't mean I'm heartless." The original hunter tossed her hair and gave one of the handsome male players a flirtatious look. If looks could be drawn into threads, those threads would have already entangled the boy and bound him tightly.

The boy blushed as the woman with the hot body flirted with him, and lowered his head, not daring to look at her any longer.

"So, we only need to attack these few places, and we might be able to find the hidden exit." The original hunter drew red dots on the map.

"You'd better be right!" The sinister words came from the snake's mouth, sounding as if it wanted to devour people alive, arousing fear in the surrounding players.

The original hunter was not afraid of him. She entered Blood Sun with other missions, not solely to sabotage the Star Alliance's operations.

The person who sent her in also planted a special tracking mark on her. Once she dies, it will send back fragments of her life before death. If the viper dares to make a move, it will face endless suppression and assassination.

His status as a four-star hunter was not enough to escape the joint suppression by capitalists.

The venomous snake waved to signal the attackers to attack the points marked by the original hunter, but he would always arrive at the target location before taking action.

Just as the hunter had predicted, the cover at the exit was broken in just two moves.

The venomous snake squinted at the passage behind it, as if wondering why nothing else had happened.

Original Hunter: "You don't think they'll betray you in the end, do you? I already said it wasn't aimed at you. I don't think they're so heartless as to bury someone alive."

These words were infuriating; the venomous snake's forehead veins bulged, as if it wanted to kill the man.

Unfortunately, he was also wary of the power behind her and could not kill her.

……

The fragments turned into keys to open the boss door, but because it didn't take effect immediately, Su Ninglong had to dodge rather awkwardly.

She underestimated the bloodworm swarm; their attack desire was extremely strong, and they kept their eyes glued to her, giving her no chance to escape their lock.

Su Ninglong remained calm and pulled the swarm of insects a little further away. The swarm, which was dozens of feet tall, looked like a blood-red tsunami from a distance, except that this tsunami was alive and determined to take its prey.
