Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 180 The Bet, Lu Yuan's Culinary Delight

"Bang bang bang..."

The players of the Ultra Gang dumped the items they had prepared on the riverbank into the river.

Buckets of black dog blood were poured in, free of charge.

The players watching from the sidelines felt extremely sorry for him.

That's all money.

Conquering this blood corpse is practically throwing money away.

However, once the strategy is successfully completed, the rewards are enormous, since the most important thing for Heavenly-level equipment is the essence, and currently only monsters of the spirit type can produce essence in the game.

To obtain top-tier equipment, you must defeat monsters, and you need to farm them repeatedly. Each monster can only drop one essence, and although there are many monsters in the world, the number of essences is limited.

This means that top-tier equipment will inevitably be a form of hard currency in the future.

To be precise, essence is hard currency.

"Only rich people can afford to play this kind of game."

"Although Sai Tu Zi is not a rich man, he is the number one blacksmith in the entire server. He is not rich, but he is better than a rich man."

"I'm jealous."

"The big shots who can produce Xuan-level equipment so easily are making money every minute of every day. I'm so envious."

……

"Black dog blood? You wretched mortals, you deserve to die."

Black dog blood was poured into the river, and the diluted black dog blood flowed down from upstream, covering the location of the blood-soaked corpse.

Almost simultaneously, the Blood Corpse sensed its power weakening. It leaped out of the water and discovered the players upstream pouring black dog blood, instantly enraging itself.

These damned ants dared to weaken it with black dog blood.

presumptuous.

"Be careful."

With a wave of his hand, the Blood Corpse unleashed a barrage of arrows formed from blood, aimed directly at the players upstream who had dumped the black dog's blood.

"You indestructible body, block this for me."

Several players, their bodies shimmering with golden light, leaped out from behind and used their bodies to block the incoming blood arrows.

"puff……"

Several people were pierced by the blood arrows and were forced back dozens of meters, their health points almost completely depleted.

"Damn, this blood zombie's damage is a bit too high."

"What happened to the rule that you wouldn't reach level 90?"

"Peach Blossom Fairy, you've tricked us!"

Several tank players looked dejected. It was only because Fairy Peach Blossom said that the level of this blood corpse would not exceed ninety that they dared to go up and take the damage.

These tanks are pure external martial arts players. External martial arts are known as the most primitive form of martial arts, focusing on physical training rather than internal energy cultivation, integrating offense and defense, and aiming for physical immortality.

They were also equipped with a full set of Xuan-level equipment.

Their health is several times that of players of the same level.

Even so, the blood corpse's casual strike nearly killed them instantly.

That's outrageous, buddy.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't slander me! When have I ever lied to you?"

"It wasn't even a first-grade item; that was a few months ago."

"Don't you think that spirits and monsters can't improve their cultivation?"

When the Peach Blossom Fairy heard that someone was slandering her, she immediately became furious.

If you can't beat them, that's your own problem. Why are you dragging me into this?
I've given you the intelligence you wanted. If you haven't contacted me for updates, that's your problem. Don't try to shift the blame to me.

Even I, the Peach Blossom Fairy, rely on my reputation to make a living.

Although the incense offered by the strange man has no nutritional value, it satisfies one's cravings.

Aren't fried chicken burgers also not nutritious?
You still eat it all up, don't you?

……

"Huh? We upgrade, and it upgrades too?"

"Nonsense, we spirits can't improve our cultivation as fast as you humans, but that doesn't mean we spirits can't improve."

"So, what level is it now?"

"First grade, or in your supernatural terms, it should be level ninety."

The Peach Blossom Fairy sensed the level of the blood corpse and provided the answer.

"Level 90, that's more than 20 levels higher, the difference isn't that big, we can fight."

One player did the math and concluded that the difference wasn't significant, so he could win.

After all, they've already fought the higher-level ghost generals of the Western Regions dungeon, so one more time won't make a difference.

Moreover, they are now at a higher level and have better equipment and martial arts skills.

We still have a numerical advantage, there's no reason we can't win.

"High-level is good. If they are high-level, they won't be able to finish the match, and those of us who are ranked later will also have a chance to play."

"really."

……

"You guys are really something."

"Blood Corpse, take my Zero Flying Kick!"

The rabbit leaped out of the water and kicked the blood zombie in its groin, hoping to hit its weak spot. However, the blood zombie was unharmed and instead slapped him with its claws.

"Damn, this blood corpse doesn't have testicles."

The rabbit was slapped into the water by a paw, its health bar dropped by more than half, and it almost died.

"A blood-red haze."

The blood corpse was enraged, and boundless blood energy soared into the sky, spreading a foul stench that turned the vision of the surrounding players blood red.

It's getting foggy.

The rising blood mist.

It is also highly poisonous.

"It's poisonous, take the antidote."

The players who were covered all chose to use medicine and quickly left the area.

The Ultraman gang also takes antidotes. They take specially made antidotes tailored to the characteristics of blood corpses, which have a long-lasting effect but are very expensive.

They ran out of time.

They aimed to end the battle within an hour.

Within an hour, they died, or the blood corpses died.

"Unleash your ultimate move."

"Take this blow from Taizu Long Fist!"

"The Eighteenth Form of the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Staff: The Eight Trigrams Long Sleep Staff".

"Take this cinnabar bomb!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Dozens of attacks landed on the blood corpse, blasting its body into countless pieces.

His entire chest was blown open by the attack.

Even so, the blood corpse did not die; instead, it became even angrier.

"A sea of ​​blood, a sea of ​​blood."

The blood corpse roared, and then a sea of ​​blood surged forth, corroding several players. Their health points quickly dwindled to zero, and they turned into specks of light on the spot.

The rabbits and their companions ran fast and managed to get ashore in time, escaping disaster.

"You all must die."

The blood corpse glared at the remaining people, then transformed into a blood shadow and charged towards them.

"Damn it, who's afraid of who?"

"You mere blood corpse without the ability to feel pain, you dare to act tough with me? Take this, I'll use my True Qi Saw."

Super Beast Without Pain clasped his hands together, and his true energy surged out, transforming into a blade of energy, which he then hurled.

"Ah ah ah."

The air blade sliced ​​into the blood corpse's body, splattering white smoke and releasing a putrid stench that made people nauseous.

too disgusting.

"die."

A bloody hand crushed the group into specks of light. Taking advantage of the moment when their teammates were killed, Sai Tuzi and the others unleashed a furious barrage of attacks on the blood corpse.

Unfortunately, the blood zombies had too much health, and despite their best efforts, they were unable to kill them. Instead, they were killed one by one by the blood zombies.

With that, the Ultra Gang was wiped out.

"Ultraman Gang is out, Rain Sister Team is on the scene! Charge! Charge! Charge! Don't let the Blood Corpse recover its health!"

Having just wiped out the Ultraman Gang, and before the Blood Corpse could even catch its breath, a series of attacks from Sister Rain's Team had already landed on its face.

"Bang bang bang..."

The battle was particularly fierce, and many locals from Wangyou County climbed onto the city wall to watch.

They also wanted to know if these strange beings could successfully kill the spirit.

As for whether the blood corpses would break through the encirclement of the aliens and attack the city, they were not worried.

After all, this is Wangyou County.

Although Lu Yuan and Hu San Niang have left, the Peach Blossom Fairy is still here.

Although the Peach Blossom Fairy was no match for the Blood Corpse.

But the Peach Blossom Fairy still possesses the divine fire furnace left behind by Lu Yuan.

The Divine Fire Furnace has been tamed by Lu Yuan and is willing to cooperate unconditionally with the Peach Blossom Fairy.

The combined power of the two is enough to suppress the blood corpse.

Moreover, Fairy Peach Blossom has a way to contact Lu Yuan from thousands of miles away. If she really can't hold him back in Wangyou County, Lu Yuan will fly back and give her a flying kick from the sky.

Feel the rage of the numerical monster.

"...The superhumans aren't united enough."

Ji Menglu, who was observing the battle below, suddenly spoke.

"They belong to different factions."

The Peach Blossom Fairy returned to the city wall, casually picked up the tea that Ji Menglu had brewed, and took a sip.

Good tea, the finest tea.

Princesses really know how to enjoy life.

"I can see that too, Fairy Peach Blossom. Why don't we guess whether they can win?"

Ji Menglu calmly accepted the tea that the nanny had brewed and took a sip.

"There's no point in guessing; they can't kill the blood zombies."

"The Blood Corpse still has a trump card."

The Peach Blossom Fairy gave her answer without even thinking.

"Not necessarily. These supernatural beings have explosives in their possession. They developed their own explosives, which are extremely powerful. The old general from the Western Regions died because of one of these explosives."

A hint of apprehension flashed in Ji Mengluo's eyes.

"Don't worry, it's no use."

"I have seen the explosives you mentioned and witnessed their power. They are very strong, but they are useless against blood corpses. Explosives cannot kill them."

"The blood corpse isn't stupid. It won't just stand there and get bombed. It will run away. All it needs to do is burrow into the underground water veins, and not only the superhumans, but even your imperial court won't be able to do anything about it."

The Peach Blossom Fairy pointed to the blood-soaked corpse below and said calmly.

She had fought the Blood Corpse many times and knew its methods all too well.

They're so shameless.

"Bet or not?"

Ji Menglu looked at the Peach Blossom Fairy and smiled.

"Go ahead and bet, what do you want?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy said confidently.

"Peach heartwood, a thousand years old."

"Oh? Princess, you have quite the appetite, asking for thousand-year-old peach heartwood. I don't even have much of that stuff."

"How much do you want?"

"One inch."

"can."

The Peach Blossom Fairy agreed.

"If you lose, give me 100,000 followers and your court will build a temple for me."

The Peach Blossom Fairy was no slouch either; she also made an outrageous demand.

"Yes, I agree."

Ji Menglu smiled as she looked at the Peach Blossom Fairy, without haggling over the price; she was certain of winning.

"Oh, how confident you are."

……

"A crow flies an airplane."

"Smash it for me."

A dark shadow fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, creating a large crater.

After a piercing scream.

Lu Yuan emerged from the pit, still holding half a wing in his hand.

These wings are quite large, measuring over ten meters in length and weighing over a hundred kilograms.

Being of such size is naturally not an ordinary bird, but a spirit or monster.

It is a notorious bull eagle from the outskirts of Beijing, a giant eagle with the head of a bull.

This bull eagle is of average strength, only around level 80, but it moves like the wind and flies extremely fast. Even experts from the capital city would find it difficult to catch up with it.

So much so that after it awoke, it continued to plague the people outside the capital, and the imperial court was powerless to stop it.

If the bull eagle enters the capital, the imperial court has a hundred ways to kill it.

The problem is that this bull eagle is very cunning. Knowing that there is danger in the capital, it will not go in. Instead, it will stay in the suburbs of the capital and harm the local people. When the court sends people to hunt it down, it will realize that something is wrong and run into the sky. After a while, the court can no longer do anything about it.

Niu Ying's carefree days continued until Lu Yuan and the others passed by.

It mistakenly believed that Lu Yuan was an ordinary person, so it used the same trick again and planned to ambush the convoy.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan noticed the bull eagle as soon as it flew overhead.

Lu Yuan, like a crow on a plane, had no chance to resist. The bull eagle crashed on the spot and became Lu Yuan's meal.

The bull eagle deserved it.

Who did it have to mess with?

It just so happens that it provoked Lu Yuan, a monster. The flying speed that the bull eagle relies on is child's play in front of Lu Yuan. Catching it wouldn't even take much time.

As luck would have it, Lu Yuan was also hungry.

Lu Yuan ate his way through the journey, eating whatever he could catch, including jackals, tigers, leopards, and mountain spirits—basically anything that wasn't human-shaped was stuffed into his mouth.

Whether you're poisonous or not, just talk to my innate skill, Holy Protection.

Lu Yuan also particularly enjoys eating spirits and monsters.

Because spirits and monsters are large.

save trouble.

……

"Fox, do me a favor and clean these feathers."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he threw half of the bull eagle's wing in front of Hu San Niang, and then jumped into the pit. With a few cracking sounds, another half of the wing was thrown up.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't waste your legs too."

Hu Sanniang transformed into human form, holding her wings with both hands, and breathed out flames that burned her wings, emitting a fragrant aroma.

"Okay, you can handle it."

Lu Yuan responded, and soon, both of Bull Eagle's legs were also removed.

Lu Yuan didn't even want the rest of the parts.

"Buzzing."

The Blood Emperor at his waist trembled with excitement.

"The rest... never mind, here you go. Clean it up properly."

Lu Yuan pulled out the Blood Emperor and stuck it into the body of the bull eagle.

In less than a minute, the Bull Eagle's remains were completely devoured by the Blood Emperor, leaving only a single bead.

"Strange pill?"

"You're really lucky."

Lu Yuan recognized it as the monster's elixir, wiped it with his clothes, and then put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

These snacks are really nice.

……

"Lu Yuan, everything's taken care of. Where are the seasonings? Give them to me."

"Go get it yourself from the bag in the carriage."

Lu Yuan jumped out of the pit, picked up the prepared wings, and casually broke them into several pieces for easy grilling.

"Uncle Yuan, it smells so good! Can Yiyi have a bite?"

"Yiyi promises to only eat one bite."

When Chen Yiyi saw Lu Yuan burning the wings of the bull-eagle, she looked down at her own tasteless dry rations and instantly lost her appetite.

She quietly walked up to Lu Yuan and started acting cute.

"No, Yiyi, you can't eat this. Don't bother Uncle Yuan."

Chen Yu was startled by his sister and immediately stepped forward to hug Chen Yiyi back.

This little glutton is too bold.

Want to eat everything.

Is that something you can eat?
That's the flesh of a demon; it's highly poisonous.

You dare eat that? You want to die?

"I don't want to, I don't want to, Yiyi doesn't want to eat dry food, Yiyi wants to eat meat, lots and lots of meat."

Yiyi was shouting and yelling unhappily.

"Shut up! That's the flesh of a demon, it's poisonous, you'll die if you eat it. Does Yiyi want to go up the mountain too?"

Chen Yu threatened.

"I don't believe it. There's no poison at all. Big brother, you're lying to me. Uncle Yuan and Aunt Yuan both ate it, and Yiyi wants to eat it too."

Chen Yiyi simply did not believe that the meat could be poisonous.

How could wings that smell so good be poisonous?

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Yiyi, listen to me, this is really toxic."

"But the one your aunt has isn't poisonous. Here, take it and roast it."

Hu San Niang caught a rabbit from somewhere and threw it at Chen Yu's feet.

"It's a bunny."

"The bunny is so cute, Yiyi wants to eat the bunny."

As soon as she heard there was meat to eat, Chen Yiyi immediately stopped making a fuss.

She pestered Chen Yu to roast a rabbit for her.

"Hurry up and grill it. Everyone, just have a little bit. After we finish eating, we'll continue our journey. The capital is just ahead."

"Once we get into the city, we'll eat something better to make up for it."
