Both Lu Wu and Bei Li were heartbroken.
Lu Wu was heartbroken because the Mansion of the Dead had been destroyed. Although he had enough money to rebuild it, he was still heartbroken.
Bei Li was heartbroken because her ice cream was taken away and she couldn't eat it anymore. She was heartbroken and resentful.
However, the Mansion of the Dead had been destroyed. What else could he do? Lu Wu's liver was in pain …
However, the ice cream was taken away. What else could he do? Bei Li's stomach was in pain …
In the game, all the players who had rushed back from the Burial Ground saw a black mushroom cloud rising and spreading in the sky from afar. Their hearts skipped a beat.
Thinking that it was Sun who was destroying the Mansion of the Dead, the players immediately rushed back.
However, when the players arrived at the Mansion of the Dead, they were dumbfounded. There was no Mansion of the Dead, there was only a huge crater. Not even a trace of the Mansion of the Dead was left.
The players were speechless.
The players who witnessed the scene had mixed feelings.
"There's someone here!"
At this moment, a sharp-eyed player noticed a figure curled up on the ground in the crater. The figure was still trembling.
When the players saw this, they all leaped into the crater and approached the figure.
After coming to the side of the figure, the players couldn't recognize who the bloody figure was, so they activated their Analysis ability.
[Sun (Beginner Ghost Emperor)]:
Character Details: Third among the nine brothers in the Land of the Nine Luminaries, in charge of the Qiusai Ridge in the west of the Land of the Nine Luminaries, subordinate to the Sun Army.
Character Characteristics: Cautious, intelligent
Character Status: Near death (deteriorating), eroded by dark energy (deteriorating), 80% of body damage, irreparable!
…
At this moment, lying on the ground, Ri Yao's body couldn't help but shiver. Vaguely, numerous black mists could be seen spreading and eroding his body.
The arrival of the players alarmed Sun. He turned his head weakly to look at the players surrounding him. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. Instead, black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Sun didn't expect the Beiqi Force to be so ruthless. They actually hid such a terrifying dark trap to ambush him and even destroyed the entire city.
Sun felt that he had made a mistake.
The raid on the Mansion of the Dead was carefully planned by him. Even if the players didn't leave the city, he would pretend to be defeated or lure them out of the city to fight. Then, he would use the Space Crystal to sneak into the city and seize the Mansion of the Dead.
Therefore, Sun was very happy when the players left the city for the battle because he thought he had already won.
However, the outcome was out of his expectations. From Sun's point of view, he had fallen for the same trick. Perhaps the players had been waiting for him to enter the city and were even prepared to exchange the entire Mansion of the Dead for his life.
How ruthless!
Sun stared at the surrounding players. he wanted to speak, but he started vom.
The black blood dripped onto the ground and made a sizzling sound of corrosion.
Sun. "Sun, Sun! The players were enraged after reading Sun's message. Although they didn't know why Sun was severely injured, they believed that Sun was the culprit behind the destruction of the Mansion of the Dead.
Therefore, the angry players began to attack Sun.
With Glorious Sun as the center, the players formed a large circle around him and crazily threw skills at him, venting their anger.
Sun was getting weaker and weaker under the players' crazy attacks.
He wouldn't be afraid of the players if he was at his peak. However, the power of the Dark Rule was eroding his body and he couldn't fight back at all.
The power that was used to repair his body was messed up by the players' attacks. The damage caused by the Dark Rule was worsening.
Sun! He coughed out more and more black blood. He was getting weaker and weaker. The red light in his eyes was slowly fading until it was extinguished.
Ruthless!
That was Sun's last thought before he died.
He was very confident in the battle against Beiqi. He didn't expect it to end like this …
The moment Sun died, a white light shone on the players around him.
All of them leveled up!
However, this wasn't what the players wanted. The Mansion of the Dead was gone. Their home was gone.
Even the death of the Glorious Sun was not enough to alleviate the anger in their hearts. Therefore, they changed their direction and charged toward the Burial Ground. They wanted to continue fighting with the Nine Brilliance Army and continue to vent their anger.
The battle lasted for half a day. Although the players were all wiped out in the end, the Nine Luminaries Army also paid a heavy price. They lost almost one-fifth of their troops.
Sun's death had shaken the morale of the Nine Luminaries Army. In the end, they didn't station their troops in Beiqi. Instead, they chose to retreat to the Nine Luminaries.
After all, the purpose of this battle was for Sun to become His Excellency. Now that he was dead, there was no point for them to stay. After a discussion among the Ghost Kings of the Nine Luminaries Army, they decided to return to the Land of the Nine Luminaries and report on the situation.
…
After the battle, a thread was suddenly pinned to the top of the forum.
[Please let our dead friends return. We don't want this kind of parting!] OP: Invincible Loneliness
There were countless players following the post. The most heart-breaking thing for the players wasn't the disappearance of the Mansion of the Dead, but the death of their NPC friends.
The reason why the Mansion of the Dead was the home of the players was closely related to the existence of their NPC friends. The Mansion of the Dead could be rebuilt, but they didn't want their friends to leave just like that.
Perhaps there would be new NPCs to replace them after they passed away. However, the players couldn't accept this because it meant that they had really passed away and would never appear again.
The post was pinned on the main page of the official website by the players. Many of them even used a pleading tone, hoping that the people behind the battle could resurrect their friends.
After reading the post, Lu Wu couldn't help but be moved. He understood what the players were thinking because Tong Gua and the others really existed.
Although only a few people knew about this, the characters and behavior of the NPCs made the players feel that they were real beings instead of rigid artificial intelligence.
Although Lu Wu could easily resurrect Tong Gua and the others, he wouldn't do so because he wouldn't cherish things that were too easy to obtain.
However, he would create an opportunity for the players to work hard on their own.
Hence, when the players went online again, the mission that Lu Wu had set up appeared.
[Unlocking Mission: Returning Friends (Server)]:
Mission Description: The NPCs of the Mansion of the Dead fought back and killed the enemies with all their might. However, the enemies were too powerful. In the end, they couldn't withstand the ruthless trampling of the enemies' iron cavalry and died defending the city. Under the call of all the players, the Returning Friends mission is now activated. Unlocking the mission will open the way to their resurrection.
Mission Objective: Kill the enemies and obtain resurrection points. Each soldier of the Nine Luminaries Army is equivalent to one point. Ghost Commander Level (1,000 ~ 3,000 points), Ghost King Level (5,000 ~ 32,000 points), Star Brilliance Level (100,000 points). Randomly resurrect an NPC for every 10,000 points.
Resurrected NPCs: None (3,789 in total)
This was the first time that a region-wide unlocking mission had appeared in the game.
Although it was difficult, the players were very happy. The dark clouds in their hearts dissipated with the appearance of this mission.
To the players, as long as Tong Gua and the others could be resurrected, it was better than anything else.
Forum:
Xueli _ The _ Strongest: "I'm so happy ~ Let's work together to kill the enemies and resurrect our friends as soon as possible. Good luck!"
Roasting Chang 'e While Hugging the Jade Rabbit: "Having something to look forward to is better than anything else. I'll focus on the Land of the Nine Luminaries in the future. I want to kill to my heart's content (happy emoji!)"
Watermelon _ Taro: "Sigh, I don't have a home anymore. I'll go online again to vent my anger in the Land of the Nine Luminaries and accumulate more points to resurrect my friends (good luck)"
… …
The players in the forum encouraged each other. They were full of confidence at this moment. They stared fiercely at the Land of the Nine Luminaries, preparing for their counterattack.
However, at this moment, someone in the forum raised a question.
Crayon _ Shinchan: "Didn't anyone notice a problem? How did the Mansion of the Dead disappear? If it was destroyed by Sun, why was Sun severely injured? But if it wasn't for Glorious Sun, the strongest player forces would be the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King. Many players saw them being killed by Glorious Sun. I'm very confused now. The reason for the explosion of the Mansion of the Dead and Sun's serious injuries! "
Chaos _ Splitting _ Wind _ Hammer: "I was in the Mansion of the Dead at that time. I saw Tong Gua, the Rock Ghost King, and the Hydra King die with my own eyes. However, Sun wasn't injured at all. Even when I died, I didn't see any powerhouses appear to help me. I'm very confused too. Can anyone explain this?
(confused emoji) "Chilly Winter _ Assault:" I was the last one to die. I didn't see any other forces appear at that time.
(confused emoji) "Death Ray:" I'm confused. I always thought that the destruction of the Mansion of the Dead had something to do with Sun. But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem right. (confused emoji) "
While the players were discussing, Nie Feng, who was browsing through the posts, broke out in a cold sweat.
After knowing that the NPCs could be resurrected, the anger in Nie Feng's heart had faded. Now, there was only fear.
He didn't know if he would become the public enemy of the players like Hu He if he revealed that he was the one who blew up the Mansion of the Dead in the forum. At this moment, his face was pale with fear.
After all, Nie Feng didn't expect the explosion to be so terrifying.
However, Nie Feng felt that he would be finished if he didn't tell the truth. The 40,000 medicinal herbs were given to him by the other guilds to refine explosive pills. They didn't belong to him at all.
However, Nie Feng felt that he wouldn't be able to repay them even if he sold himself.
For a moment, Nie Feng was struggling with his thoughts.
Tell the truth! Hide the truth!
Two thoughts were circling in his mind.
At this moment, a message popped up on his friend list. Nie Feng subconsciously tapped on the message list and a few chat boxes appeared.
Chen Ziyu: "Ah Feng, how many explosive pills do you have now? I'm preparing to bring a team to sweep the Land of the Nine Luminaries. (smiling emoji)"
Lu Zhan: "Boss Nie, stock up! Stock up! I have to say, your explosive pills are really useful. How many more do you have? (smiling emoji) "
Ye Xue 'er: "Boss Nie, give me all the goods you have first. I need them urgently. The other guilds can wait for a while. (smiling emoji)"
Li Xiao: "Ah Feng, why don't you join our guild? I can buy all the goods you have by myself. I can also provide you with a large amount of medicinal herbs. Oh right, how many more do you have? Don't sell them all. Leave some for me. (smiling emoji)"
…
Looking at the inquiries from the guild leaders in the chat box, Nie Feng broke out in a cold sweat.
Now that the 40,000 medicinal herbs were all gone, even if he had the energy to continue refining pills, he didn't have the money to buy so many medicinal herbs.
At this moment, Nie Feng felt so wronged that he almost cried …
