Excessive ferocity due to caution

Zhou Junqiang was shocked to see that the man in front of him had a face covered with many black veins that writhed into strange tattoos.

He felt his soul tremble after just a few glances at Zhao Yi!

It was an indescribable fear!

It's like a cat or dog seeing a lion, or an insect seeing a bird!

He instinctively realized something was wrong and turned to run away, only to find that the path he had come from had completely changed...

Zhou Junqiang discovered that there was no road behind him, but a bottomless abyss!

This is a mental illusion created by the Darkest Personality using a portion of the "Divine Pen" skill that he stole.

It can directly affect the mind of its prey and also has some physical effects.

This physical effect is more pronounced for those whose strength is significantly different from Zhao Yi's.

For example, if the strength of a certain being is similar to, or even stronger than, the Darkest Personality, then for that being, it is truly just an ordinary illusion.

However, if the opponent's strength is significantly weaker than the Darkest Personality, then if it falls off a cliff in the illusion... it will really die!

Zhou Junqiang immediately realized he was trapped in an illusion. He quickly took out a dead man's finger and lit it on fire. A ghostly green flame then ignited at the tip of the finger...

"The illusion shatters!"

Zhou Junqiang shouted sharply.

The ghost candle's radiance emerged, and its mysterious power spread like water, dispelling the illusion before them.

Then he saw, in front of him, a cliff... still a cliff!

Zhou Junqiang was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

A voice sounded softly behind him:

"This is not merely an illusion, but a medium..."

"To establish an etheric medium between reality and illusion."

A chill ran down Zhou Junqiang's spine. He turned around abruptly, and the ghostly hair wrapped around his arm suddenly sprouted and attacked Zhao Yi!

The ghost hair spread very quickly, and each strand was extremely strong and very sharp.

This is one of Zhou Junqiang's killer moves.

The ghost hair was a ghostly remnant he bought from the mall. He used this seemingly ordinary ghost hair to unexpectedly kill many of his opponents!

However, this time, when Guifa touched Zhao Yi's body, he suddenly let out a shrill scream!

A wisp of green smoke rose up, and the ghost hair that had been trying to bind Zhao Yi's body broke off on its own!

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Junqiang immediately tried to take back the ghost hair.

But Zhao Yi grabbed the ghost's hair and ate it right in front of Zhou Junqiang!

Black flames blazed in his eyes, spreading to his mouth and burning the ghost's hair to ashes!

Zhou Junqiang felt weak all over and had a splitting headache!

The ghost hair had long since become one with him, and now that the ghost hair had vanished, he had naturally suffered considerable injuries.

"I didn't even come looking for you, yet you still dare to come looking for me..."

The darkest personality smiled eerily, and to Zhou Junqiang's horrified gaze, it suddenly opened its blood-red maw...

A gust of wind blew by.

In the shadowy area of ​​the grape trellis, only a soulless body remained.

Its eyes widened, the pupils still reflecting the terror of its impending death...

...

Zili Village.

Chen Fei was covered in blood.

The ghosts that followed him were no better off.

The butcher's injuries were more severe.

Covering the mountains and plains.

It is all corpses.

The ghost that had been guiding them earlier harbored malicious intentions and was actually planning to turn the tables.

However, it misjudged the fighting strength of Chen Fei's group.

The air was thick with the stench of blood. The butcher held a cleaver in one hand and the severed head of a half-step monster in the other!

He exuded a murderous aura.

It already vaguely resembles Oink.

The group continued upwards.

They arrived at the temple of the mountain god.

Without the blessing of the mountain god, only some mess and dilapidation remain here.

Inside the hall, a huge statue of a deity was not the original tree, but a demon's head and limbs.

All are made of pure copper.

"Its roots aren't here?"

The ghosts searched inside and out, but couldn't find the mountain god's roots anywhere.

How could this happen?

"Since Big Brother said that it's inside the Mountain God Temple, then it must be inside the Mountain God Temple!"

Chen Fei's voice was firm.

Its gaze swept carefully around before finally settling on the statue in the mountain god's temple!

"Found you!"

At this moment, Chen Fei felt an inexplicable surge of confidence.

Deep down, it firmly believed that what it was looking for was inside this statue!

The butcher next to him drew his knife, and the cleaver unleashed terrifying power, shattering the enshrined statue!

The roots hidden inside were now exposed to the ghosts in their raw, red glory!

It turns out that the root was hidden in the base of the statue, and had taken root deep into the soil!

"fire!"

Chen Fei shouted.

A female ghost who followed Chen Fei handed him a torch.

Chen Fei threw the fire onto the roots, and immediately the Mountain God Temple began to shake violently!

"What happened?"

A ghostly figure screamed.

"This place looks like it's about to collapse!"

"Brothers, get out of here!"

"..."

...

Guxuan Town, west side.

The tattoos on Zhao Yi's body slowly faded away.

The black flames in his eyes also disappeared.

He dragged Xiang Babang's hair with one hand, whistling as he walked towards the direction of the battle between the mountain gods.

Xiang Babang was half-dead by this moment, with most of his bones broken and his body twisted.

His sanity level had almost dropped to the brink of madness.

Xiang Babang's eyes were vacant, and saliva slowly dripped down the corners of his mouth.

Zhao felt a little relieved.

If it weren't for the fact that the Darkest Personality had awakened its eight-armed form last time and hadn't learned some of the Divine Brush techniques from L381, he really wouldn't have been able to defeat Xiang Babang.

The opponent is level 22.

The gap is just too big.

Xiang Babang's strength ranks in the middle among players below level 25. Even if Zhao Yi fully activates his Dark Personality, he can only barely defeat Xiang Babang.

He has come to realize the urgent importance of improving his own abilities!

"Old Xiang, we're practically acquaintances."

"Let me introduce the features of this product to you..."

Zhao Yi glanced into the distance and took out the body shredder.

Xiang Babang's eyes no longer held greed as he looked at the machine; only fear remained!

Or rather, he now has an extreme fear of death!

There is no other reason.

Xiang Babang's last resurrection item was used up in the previous dungeon for some special reasons!

In most dungeons, players lose health points upon death.

However, it cannot be ruled out that there are individual entities with the power to govern rules... such as Oink.

Even if it's not in a secret realm, but in a game instance, when Oink kills a player with "Butcher's Wrath," if the player doesn't have a resurrection item... they will die instantly!

Xiang Babang no longer has any resurrection items on him!

Whether Zhao Yi kills him directly or throws him into a dismemberment machine... the outcome won't change!

That's why he was afraid!

"Don't kill me... I can..."

"I'll give you all my things..."

"Let's call it even!"

He struggled to speak to Babang.

Zhao Yi's gaze drifted into the distance, fixed on the mountain god whose aura had suddenly changed drastically. He couldn't help but grin, seemingly oblivious to what Xiang Babang had said, and continued speaking to himself:

"Sorry, Lao Xiang..."

"I've suddenly lost interest in you."

"Let's skip the boring part about the shredder."

"Good night."

Amidst Babang's terrified screams, Zhao Yi tossed him into the shredder like trash, then quickly headed towards the battlefield...

PS:

Sorry I'm late today.

Thank you for reading.

The report will be out tomorrow.

Goodnight, my darlings!
