"Give me a buff?" The group of NPCs was thinking about how to talk to Li Huailin about the slot. They didn't expect Li Huailin to take the initiative to speak first. They didn't know what a buff was, but they obediently surrounded Li Huailin.
"This … Are we going to fight?" Peanut asked the Summoning Jade Emperor when he saw the situation.
"I don't think so." The Summoning Jade Emperor facepalmed. Yes, after hearing Li Huailin's words, the Summoning Jade Emperor knew what Li Huailin wanted to do.
"Lord Oracle, please save us." After walking for a while, Li Huailin finally put some distance between himself and the group of NPCs. Seeing this, the group of NPCs following Li Huailin hurriedly knelt down.
"That's right, Sir Oracle, we have always been willing to follow you. Please save us." As Li Huailin expected, the group of NPCs' words were more or less within Li Huailin's expectations.
Li Huailin didn't say much. He took out Dim Light and hung it on his back. He calmly said, "Okay, no problem. However, you know that there are limited spots. How about this? I'll give you one last test. It's very simple. Stay by my side for 10 seconds, and I'll take the rest of you away. No problem, right?"
When they heard this, all the NPCs were instantly excited. They didn't expect to succeed in negotiating. However, Li Huailin said that it was a test. Could it be that he was going to attack them? It didn't matter. Anyway, it was enough. Everyone immediately made up their minds. It's only 10 seconds. Can't I hold on?
However, to everyone's surprise, Li Huailin didn't have any intention of attacking. He just stood there and suddenly started counting. He really did start counting from 10. Everyone was a little confused. Wasn't this a test? So simple? Could it be that Li Huailin was really going to save them?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a person beside him suddenly started vomiting blood. Of course, under the effect of Li Huailin's Undead Aura, the players' health bars continued to drop. Everyone had different constitutions. Soon, some of them began to cough up blood.
"What's going on?" Seeing their companion vomit blood for no reason, the group of NPCs was a little nervous. However, they immediately understood what was going on. After all, Li Huailin also said that it was a test, and it was still the same. Now, it seemed that although Li Huailin didn't attack them, he must have used some kind of divine power to attack them, but they didn't feel it. After all, Li Huailin had the identity of an Oracle, and most people on their side believed in this identity, so it was normal that they didn't understand.
"Wah …" Another second passed, and soon, a few more people vomited blood. However, the remaining people were even more excited because Li Huailin had already counted to two. In two more seconds, they would be able to survive. Then, would they be saved?
"One!" At this moment, Li Huailin's countdown had reached the last second. Everyone held their breaths. Some of them almost vomited blood, but they forcefully swallowed it back down. It was as if they could survive for another 10 seconds. Everyone looked forward to Li Huailin's final number. This had become their only hope.
Of course, in the next moment, everyone's hope was shattered. Just as Li Huailin was about to count down to zero, everyone's consciousness seemed to have been cut off. In the next second, more than 30 people who were originally standing fell forward or backward to the ground.
"Zero … Uh, I was a little slow." Li Huailin looked at the place where no one was standing, and said calmly, "Congratulations on successfully wasting 10 seconds of my time. Now, no one will come to cause trouble, right?"
After saying that, Li Huailin sheathed his sword and walked back. Jade Emperor and Firehead, who naturally knew what was going on, immediately facepalmed. However, Marinka and Peanut were a little stunned. They knew the strength of this group of NPCs. Yet, Li Huailin didn't do anything, and everyone fell? There were more than 30 people. What was going on?
Although they had heard about some of Li Huailin's skills, such as large-scale, continuous damage skills, and the like, because he had used them in team battles, the current situation didn't seem that simple. Indeed, a few people vomited blood, but didn't the same thing happen yesterday? However, not everyone fell. A few people could survive for a long time by relying on healing. However, the situation now was completely different. They clearly saw everyone die at the same time, which was a little scary.
Looking at the two people from Hua Xia's group beside them, it was obvious that they didn't have any strange expressions. It seemed that Li Huailin hadn't told them something. Of course, it wasn't right to ask directly. If Li Huailin wanted to tell them, he would have told them long ago. Therefore, the two of them didn't plan to ask clearly.
"Now, there should be no one left, right?" Li Huailin said calmly as he returned to the party.
"Your way of handling things is really simple and crude," Jade Emperor couldn't help but comment.
"Since this world can't hold on any longer, let's just send them on their way." Li Huailin spread his hands. "However, the strange thing is that they didn't drop anything. I thought they would drop some godly equipment."
Indeed, it was a little strange that Li Huailin didn't drop anything after killing more than 30 Saint-tier players.
"Maybe it's because this is another game. We don't receive any combat notifications when we fight monsters here. I don't think there's anything like experience points, so the loot drops are probably different," Firehead said.
"Probably." Li Huailin spread his hands and didn't dwell on the issue. After all, it was just a casual chat to kill time.
After dealing with this wave of troublesome NPCs, Li Huailin and the others had to wait for the Celestial King to contact them. Of course, they shouldn't have to wait too long. It was already close to noon. Otherwise, Li Huailin wouldn't have been in such a hurry to get rid of this group of people. However, the problem was that things didn't seem to be going as smoothly as expected. Li Huailin and the others waited for more than half an hour.
"It's 12: 30," Jade Emperor said as he looked at the system time. "There's no response."
"Yeah." Li Huailin nodded slightly. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to wait for the Celestial King to contact them. Yes, according to their previous experience, the Celestial King should be very punctual at around noon to contact them. To be safe, they waited a little longer. However, it had been more than half an hour, and the Celestial King still didn't have any intention of contacting them. It seemed that he wouldn't be contacting them again.
"Indeed, when we came here previously, the Celestial King didn't mention anything about contacting us … So what's the meaning of this?" Jade Emperor said. "Is he just going to leave us here?"
"Is it possible that the Celestial King already knows that this world is collapsing?" Firehead asked.
"Yes." Li Huailin originally wanted to wait for the Celestial King to contact them. Now that the Celestial King didn't contact them, it was indeed possible that the Jade Emperor and Firehead were right. However, if the Celestial King knew that this world was collapsing, did that mean that he intentionally threw them into this world to wait for their deaths? Indeed, the Celestial King already knew that there was something wrong with them. After all, the Celestial King's previous behavior of taking the initiative to meet them was rather strange. Could this really be his plan?
However, Li Huailin still felt that it was a little strange. If he were the Celestial King, the Celestial King would at least contact him to find out the situation on his side, or at least find out if the group of programmers were all dead or something like that. The Celestial King just left them here and didn't care about them at all.
"Could it be that … he can't be contacted?" Suddenly, Li Huailin thought of another explanation. After all, there was a situation where Li Huailin and the others couldn't directly teleport to the Divine Territory's border. According to Li Huailin's deduction, it might be because they belonged to another Temple's system, so the Celestial King's Temple couldn't pull them in. The current situation might be the same. If the Celestial King originally contacted them through the Temple's function, then everyone, including Marinka and Peanut, had already been pulled into Li Huailin's Temple. Could it be that the Celestial King really couldn't contact them?
Of course, this was also possible. However, in this case, it was impossible for him to rely on the Celestial King to return. Based on the current situation, he could only look for Zhang Youdong.
After returning to the Temple, Li Huailin naturally saw Zhang Youdong and the others waiting for the results. Naturally, Li Huailin explained the current situation to Zhang Youdong. Zhang Youdong frowned when he heard that the Celestial King couldn't contact them.
"The portal can be opened, but the Celestial King will definitely be able to sense where we are. In other words, we might have to face them directly," Zhang Youdong wrote.
"There's no other way." Li Huailin spread his hands.
"I'm just asking you to be prepared," Zhang Youdong wrote.
Of course, Zhang Youdong was willing to cooperate with the opening of the portal. However, in his opinion, this was a rather dangerous method. It would be best if they could hide it from the Celestial King and let them return. However, there was no other way.
The two quickly walked out of the Temple. Li Huailin also explained the situation to the Summoning Jade Emperor and the others. Of course, they agreed. After all, they couldn't stay here and wait for the Celestial King to contact them. After all, this place would collapse on its own in two days.
After the discussion, Li Huailin also nodded at Zhang Youdong. Zhang Youdong raised his hand and signaled for everyone to step back. Then, he took out a stone that emitted a faint light. When Li Huailin saw this thing, he felt that it was a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the secret treasure he obtained in the past looked like this.
