Chapter 367 Touch and you will die
"Why is the second priest's red jade ring here?" This thought flashed through Lu Xun's mind quickly.
At the same time, he looked at the man whose half body seemed to be embedded in the statue, and he had the answer in his mind.
"No wonder I didn't sense his presence at first."
"It's not that there's something wrong with his [Elemental Force], but that he is extremely good at hiding. Besides, this three-eyed statue should also have its own magical properties."
"If I'm not mistaken, this person is most likely the number one lackey under the Second Priest - Shadow!"
A shadowy person.
Until Lu Xun traveled through time, all players knew that there was such a person among the alien race, but no one knew what he looked like.
All I know is that he is not tall and always wears a black cloak.
Both of these points are met.
This shadow's ability is very abnormal. As long as there is a shadow, he can lurk there and move freely in the shadow.
He always takes the lives of his opponents silently!
——is a mature old coin.
Lu Xun felt that his guess was probably correct and would not be wrong.
Youying is the person the second priest trusts the most, and this red jade ring is the symbol of the second priest. It is impossible for him to lend it to the aliens under his command casually. He can only treat it as a confidant.
And inside this red jade ring, there is something that Lu Xun now feels scared about whenever he recalls it - Soul Devouring Fire!
The name of this flame is very rustic. It can be seen that the person who named it is either a loser who is incompetent in naming, or he didn't put any effort into naming it at all.
However, despite its rustic name, the effect is terrifying.
In the previous life, after the war started, the stupid players would feel their scalps tingling whenever they saw this red jade ring and this wisp of soul-devouring fire.
Logically speaking, players all have a certain number of resurrection times, and they all rely on their ability to resurrect and act crazy.
But once you get this soul-devouring fire on you, you can’t get rid of it!
It won't stop until it has completely devoured you.
There's no point in resurrecting it, it will keep burning!
Burn until you run out of resurrections and are forced to log off!
Ever since Lu Xun traveled through time, no player dared to provoke it, because so far, no player has been able to resist its burning.
——If you touch it, you will die!
Fortunately, the flame is only a small wisp and does not cause AOE damage. It only has a single-target attack effect and will not attack multiple players at the same time.
At the same time, its characteristic is that it will not stop until it has completely devoured you and burned your ashes to ashes, and then it will change its target.
——The target of attack will not be changed midway.
Lu Xun had a trauma about this thing because he had been burned once...
When I played the character of Angry Stickman before, he would jump around and act recklessly as soon as he entered the battlefield, which was very conspicuous.
There is no other way. He needs to be in the spotlight and attract attention so that he can get orders and make money.
After all, I need to make a living, not just because I like to show off.
Because he was dancing so wildly and ferociously, and waving his big stick so fiercely, he successfully attracted the attention of the second priest in a major battle.
Young man, you stand out.
Then he was burned.
Not only were his resurrection attempts exhausted, he was also forced to log off after losing a large amount of experience points, and the durability of his signature equipment [First Encounter] and the big stick was also burned out, making the equipment directly scrapped.
Fortunately, he had quite a few contribution points at that time, and he exchanged them for two blue-level equipment repair coupons to repair [First Encounter] and the Big Stick.
At that time, Lu Xun was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
If he could not defeat the second priest and could not deal with the soul-devouring fire, he would definitely try every possible way to pin them to the ground.
At this moment, facing the red jade ring again, Lu Xun's rationality overcame his emotions. He decided to follow his heart and said, "Retreat."
However, at this moment, red rays of light flashed from the red jade ring, and a small wisp of flame appeared out of thin air, then flew towards Lu Xun and others at an extremely fast speed.
…
…
“Fuck!” Lu Xun cursed in his heart, which was rare.
He knew very well that this flame was not a dead thing, it was alive!
Lu Xun had no idea what the aliens were doing inside the statue. Perhaps they were repairing the altar, or perhaps there were other purposes.
But it was obvious that he had issued instructions to the Soul-Devouring Fire before merging into the statue.
This flame is protecting him!
But now Lu Xun and others are too close to it.
Just when Lu Xun didn't know how to solve the problem, Wang Gangtie, who was standing next to him, rushed out first.
"It's time for me to show my loyalty!" Wang Gangtie shouted in his heart.
Although they received the information instantly after losing the [Detection], this small flame may not look big, but the degree of danger is [extremely deadly]!
Wang Gangtie’s idea is very simple. If he dies, he dies. It’s just a chance to be resurrected.
"I'm determined to increase Zidian's favorability!"
Perhaps at this moment, Cai Jiangjiang and others would feel annoyed when they saw Wang Gangtie rushing out.
"Damn it! This idiot got there first!"
Lu Xun stretched out his right hand, trying to use his spiritual power to pull him back, and said, "Wang Gangtie, step back!"
But this idiot is pretty quick.
The most important thing is that the Soul-Devouring Fire has already targeted him, and the speed of this small flame is really too fast.
The flames touched his body in an instant.
Lu Xun looked at him, his mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart: "Brave man, please rest in peace."
He said in a serious voice: "Everyone leave here quickly and disperse."
Everyone was stunned at first, and then watched Wang Gangtie being burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Then it was resurrected on the spot, and then burned to ashes again...
Until the number of resurrections is exhausted, you will be forced to log off.
"Damn! This fire is too evil!" Li Zuole and others thought in their hearts.
Only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem.
Zi Dian probably saw through it at a glance, so he immediately told everyone to retreat and told Wang Gangtie not to go with them.
The protagonist of the world is really sharp.
As professional players, they immediately realized that they had triggered a hidden plot, and it was a plot that they couldn't handle.
"Run!" Everyone began to flee in different directions.
Lu Xun edited the task as quickly as possible and sent it to Li Zuole and others.
The mission is to ask them to escape from here as much as possible. If anyone is lucky enough to find the exit, they must report the situation inside immediately and ask the people from Qingtian Sect to forcibly destroy this place and come in to support.
Now, no one knew where the exit of this altar was, and Lu Xun didn't know where to go out for a moment.
He is indeed equivalent to an altar key, but the key must first find the door before it can be inserted.
How to unlock the door if you can’t find the exit?
Lu Xun took out the magic talisman given to him by his third senior brother without hesitation. After taking a look at Jiang Nan'an, he grabbed Jiang Nan'an and fled with him.
Jiang Nan'an is the protagonist of the world and a very important character in the plot. He must not die halfway because of this variable. You must protect him as much as possible.
What's more, this guy is [Lucky 10], so carrying him around might just act like a talisman.
Who knows, in the end, it might be me who relies on this human-shaped amulet to save my life!
After being grabbed by Lu Xun, Jiangnanan was deeply moved.
Even at this critical moment, Senior Lu was still thinking about protecting the people around him.
He also knew something about the magic talisman, and he was very clear that with the addition of himself, the effectiveness of the talisman would be greatly reduced.
"So, what can I do for Senior Lu at this moment?" Jiang Nan'an began to think.
Lu Xun didn't think so much, he just wanted to stay alive.
The most speechless thing was that there were so many people present, and clearly under Lu Xun's orders, everyone dispersed and fled, but this Soul-Devouring Fire, which only had a single-target attack effect, just happened to target Lu Xun, who was running the fastest!
Damn it, I put on a magic talisman and ran away very fast, but you still chased me!
They run so slowly, why don't you burn them?
Now that things have come to this... Lu Xun's mind moved, and in an instant he modified the task issued to Li Zuole and others.
Task prompts popped up in front of them one after another.
"[Ding! The mission progress has deviated.]"
"【Lu Xun is using himself as bait to attract the Soul Devouring Fire, giving you a chance to escape. You need to find the exit of the altar as quickly as possible.】"
“【Task Reward: 100,000 experience points and Lu Xun’s favorability.】”
Li Zuole and others looked at the prompt message, feeling mixed emotions for a moment.
Perhaps this is the role of [Grandmaster of the Demon Sect] and [Protagonist of the World]!
