Chapter 144 It’s time to get up
Han Er looked at the square fire lamp in Wu Chang's hand and couldn't help but be attracted by it. The red with gold flame and the delicate and luxurious lamp body were so attractive that he knew it was not an ordinary thing at a glance.

More importantly, it was Wu Chang’s last words.

Let them live a little longer.

Combining the Soul Light Sect's special skills in the resurrection ritual, Han Er had some guesses about what Wu Chang had done, but he didn't dare to confirm it. He asked tentatively: "Is this special oil lamp the holy object that you stole... and fought for?"

Han Er wanted to say stealing, but Wu Chang glared at him and he immediately changed his words.

Wu Chang nodded and said, "The fire in this lamp represents the fire of life in the world. Being illuminated by the fire can increase vitality, slow down death, and even bring the dead back to life."

As he spoke, Haner could see that the faces of the people in the coffins placed next to the golden throne were showing signs of struggle.

Their faces first turned pale, as if their life had been cut off, but the next moment they were illuminated by the firelight and looked as if they had breathed out their last breath.

The process keeps repeating itself, and it can be seen that they want to die very much, but they just can't.

Prolonging life is supposed to be a happy thing, but for a few people, it seems that they are not happy at all.

Time passed minute by minute, and as the most essential minute of the Blood Moon's eternal appearance passed, the Blood Moon's light was no longer dazzling, but turned into a dull and dark blood red.

If someone is illuminated by the dark power of the blood moon, they will turn into the monsters wandering in the kingdom's cemetery.

Feeling the change in the power of the blood moon, the people in the sarcophagus who were not yet dead began to express their instinctive fear. Their bodies began to tremble, as if they wanted to wake up and end the ceremony.

But in order to die in time, they were too near death, and their serious injuries made it impossible for them to recover even if they wanted to survive.

But just when everyone wanted to live, Wu Chang put away the four-sided fire lamp.

Without the illumination of the fire of the year, everyone slid uncontrollably towards death.

Wu Chang sighed and said to the sarcophagus of Duke Luz, "I'm sorry, the one-minute free trial of escaping death has ended. You can continue to enjoy the life-extending service by becoming a member. Would you like to apply for membership?"

After waiting for a while and seeing no one answering, Wu Chang shook his head and said to Han Er with a look of pity: "Tsk, I ran into a group of freeloaders again."

Without the light of the fire of the year, the people in the sarcophagus only lasted less than half a minute before they died completely.

They were completely dead, and under the light of the blood moon, their bodies became swollen and twisted. Every blood vessel, every muscle, and even every muscle fiber in their bodies were changing position uncontrollably.

The shape of their bodies keeps changing, like an AI-generated video, constantly shifting randomly, absurd and magical.

Wu Chang waved at Han Er and said, "They may be busy for a while. Let's go outside and wait."

On the other side of the Kingdom Cemetery, without the obstruction of the Cemetery of Eternal Life, the power of the blood moon covered the entire cemetery unimpeded.

Inside the cemetery, the zombie swarm that was already overflowing was instantly strengthened and began to attack the gravekeepers' cabins in various locations.

Looking at the blood-red sky that seemed like the end of the world, and the surging tide of zombies, even Lei Hu was numb.

He looked at the ronin beside him and asked, "Are you sure anyone can survive in this dungeon for thirty days?"

"Maybe there was an accident in some part of the copy."

Ronin was also sweating profusely. This shouldn't be the case. According to his experience, even if a copy was on the verge of getting out of control, it would not completely deny players the opportunity to pass it.

Is it that the B-level copy is different?

No, if all the B-level copies on the verge of getting out of control were so abnormal, then why would their employers need to spend a lot of money to hire them? If left alone, no one can stop the copy from getting out of control.

Lei Hu is not good at clearing the dungeon, so he can only ask Ronin for help.

"What should we do now, just leave?"

The props given to them by the client to escape from the copy can only be used in a non-combat state, so a decision must be made as soon as possible. If they stay in the gravekeeper's cabin and wait until the combat state comes, they will not be able to leave even if they want to.

Ronin hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "The current change happened after the night patrol, and it does not affect our main task. I suspect that this is some kind of sudden incident in the dungeon plane, and it may not be a precursor to the collapse of the dungeon."

"I suggest that we retreat to the city of Serina first to avoid this crisis. If the abnormal incidents cannot be resolved tomorrow night, we can leave. In this way, even if the client holds us accountable, we will have something to say. Otherwise..."

The ronin didn't say the rest of the words, but Lei Hu knew what he meant.

The other party paid such a huge price and even prepared props to escape from the copy. It is obvious that they are determined to make the Midnight Cemetery out of control.

They left early when they were unsure of the outcome. If the copy was out of control, it would be fine. But if it was not out of control, the other party would never let them go.

It goes without saying that the client who issued the commission must be an important figure. If something really happened, the Iron Armored Regiment would definitely not protect the two of them.

Lei Hu sighed, agreed with Ronin's point of view, and said, "Then let's go now!"

The two of them left the gravekeeper's cabin stealthily without even thinking of calling Hiroshi, Oda, and the orcs.

In order to facilitate their movements, they went to the city yesterday and bought two horses, but they didn't expect to use them so soon.

The two men mounted their horses and were about to leave when the ronin pulled the reins and stopped.

Lei Hu asked in confusion: "What else?"

Ronin said, "Guangzhi and the other three are on guard against us and are huddled together, so it's hard to attack them. But the guy from the Countermeasures Bureau is alone, so I plan to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of him first, lest he has items that can help him escape from the dungeon and expose us after he leaves the dungeon."

"Are you sure?" Lei Hu frowned. He knew that the ronin said nice things just to vent his anger about what happened in the quiet town.

According to Ronin, the level of the guy from the Administration is not high. Before a dungeon, he could only hide behind Jianxing to gain experience. It is not difficult to kill him, but the difficulty lies in the current dangerous environment. Ronin's level is not high, and he is weaker than the orcs. Don't let it go.

Ronin said confidently: "I am confident, but if you, Brother Lei Hu..."

"I'm glad you have confidence. Let's meet in Serina City." Lei Hu interrupted the ronin, turned around and rode away.

He has no grudge against the Administration, so he doesn't want to get involved in this kind of mess. If he succeeds, there will be no benefit, but if he fails, he will be in big trouble.

Seeing Lei Hu leave, Ronin could understand. After identifying the direction, he rushed alone to Cemetery No. 44 where Wu Chang was.

Killing Wu Chang was not a sudden idea of ​​his, but the result of many days of preparation.

He monitored Wu Chang last night and today.

Last night, the gravekeeper who was with Wu Chang left with the people from the Soul Light Sect. Then, something happened at the Soul Light Sect and the entire Soul Light Cathedral was blocked. The former gravekeeper could not come back in a short time.

Today he went to monitor and found that Wu Chang did not take any action during the day. He hid alone in the gravekeeper's hut, occasionally coming out to bask in the sun and get some fresh air, and then returning to the house.

A pure young master type player, accustomed to sucking the blood of his teammates, has no sense of urgency to enter the dungeon. He just wants to hide in a safe spot and get through the main mission one.

Now that the blood moon has appeared and the zombies are rioting, the gravekeeper's hut is simply unable to defend itself. Wu Chang will definitely escape from the house. Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity to kill him.

In the Quiet Town dungeon that day, almost all the rookies in the Administration who were less than level 10 died, but he was the only one left among the three brothers of their Iron Armored Regiment.

There is nothing wrong with these people in the Administration, he just won't believe it no matter how much he tells it.

Since we cannot identify who it is, the only way to comfort the souls of the two brothers in heaven is to kill all those who participated that day.

Just as the Ronin was gritting his teeth and preparing to increase his strength against Wu Chang and force him to tell him what happened in the Quiet Town dungeon, he suddenly heard a strong wind blowing behind his ears.

He quickly hid in the stirrups, and as soon as he moved away from the horse's back, he saw several more kunai on the spot where he had been sitting before.

Dodging the attack did not make him feel happy at all, because he saw that there were several high-explosive grenades tied to the back of the kunai.

What a modern version of a detonating talisman.

boom!
The huge explosion turned the horses into a bloody mist.

Wearing a thermal imaging device and holding a sniper rifle, Oda lay on a tree trunk beside the road, looking for any traces of the ronin.

Before he could find the suspicious heat source, he suddenly felt a chill behind him and quickly stood up and flew backwards.

The next moment, a sword light like a full moon cut off the tree trunk where Oda was crawling. Even if he retreated in time, the sword light would cut his sniper rifle into two pieces.

Under the big tree, the ronin sheathed his nearly two-meter-long samurai sword and looked at Oda in surprise.

"why you?"

He originally thought that Wu Chang had discovered that he was being monitored and set a trap to ambush him, but he didn't expect that the one who attacked him was the silent ninja Oda.

Is this guy crazy? Why did he attack him?
Judging from his own experience, Ronin quickly figured out the reason. Could he be the enemy of the Iron Armored Regiment?
The ronin had a headache, he knew his own business. The Armored Corps was so domineering in the wilderness that even a passerby would want to kick them a couple of times. It was no exaggeration to say that they had enemies all over the world.

Every member of the Ironclad Group was prepared to be attacked and beaten for no apparent reason when bullying small forces and individual players, but Oda showed up at the wrong time. "I'm in a hurry, can you let me go today?" the ronin negotiated.

Oda took off his thermal imaging goggles, and his already cold eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent when he heard the ronin's words.

“You have indeed discovered it.”

Ronin: “?”

What are you talking about? How come you discovered it?
Before he could even ask his question, Oda on the other side had already made a move.

Oda split into three and summoned two clones. The three of them took out rocket launchers, rifles and smoke bombs at the same time.

As the smoke bomb landed, the irritating smoke instantly enveloped the Ronin. The other two Oda put on thermal imagers and walked into the smoke while firing.

For most clone skills, the clones created, even if they are physical entities, are extremely lacking in combat effectiveness.

Using modern weapons is the correct way to use the clone skills.

Although Ronin is a player who specializes in clearing dungeons, he is from the Ironclad Regiment after all. They often compete with each other, so there is a lot of combat experience among players.

"Golden Bell!"

He activated his protective gear immediately, and placed a golden bell upside down on his body to block all the flying bullets and explosions.

Then he took off his clogs, walked barefoot on the ground, closed his eyes, and felt the vibrations from the ground with his feet.

Take a deep breath.

bass!
The long samurai sword was drawn out, the sword energy was sharp and unstoppable, splitting the rifle clone approaching five meters away into two halves.

This is his signature skill, Iai Slash!
bass!
This time he drew his sword and slashed with a short katana, and hung grenades all over his body, ready to chop into pieces his self-destructing clone.

Seeing that the grenade on the clone's body had exploded with fire, he flashed and instantly came to the front of Oda's real body holding a rocket launcher, fifteen meters away.

He spun his body rapidly, causing the sword blade to cut through the air, creating a spark of fire. Using the air as a sheath, he launched another sword-drawing slash.

Iai·Double Slash.

Oda had no time to react and was cut into three pieces in an instant.

Remembering that Oda was an agility player, Ronin couldn't help but say, "A person's speed is not as fast as a sword."

"Private Horse Racing"

Oda, who was cut into three pieces, suddenly showed a strange smile on his head, and the three parts of his body suddenly stood up, tightly wrapping the ronin's hands and legs.

The next moment, the ground where the Ronin was located collapsed, revealing a ten-meter-wide pit below, which was filled with sharp spikes.

The moment the ronin fell in, the pit suddenly closed like an iron maiden.

Along with the sound of bones breaking, large amounts of blood gushed out from the holes in the ground that closed.

The crypt opened again. Oda looked at the ronin in the crypt, who was pierced like a sieve and was about to die, and said with his head down:

"Sorry, you and I each serve our own masters. I will not allow you to clear the dungeon. This dungeon must be out of control."

When the ronin was on his deathbed, he was lamenting that his skills were not as good as others. However, after hearing Oda's words, he took one more breath and forced himself to regain his consciousness.

What the hell are you talking about? Why aren't you allowing me to pass the level?

So you're not here to seek revenge, but like me, you also want to make the copy get out of control?
The ronin took his last breath and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fuck you!"

The next moment, he coughed up a handful of blood mist from his throat and died completely.

In a place where neither of them could see, the blood mist turned into a deep red resentment, flew past Oda at the entrance of the cave, and disappeared into the woods.

In the woods, Oda, wearing optical camouflage uniforms, scratched his neck and asked in confusion: "Are there any mosquitoes?"

He controlled his clone in the distance, and after making sure that the ronin was dead, he looked towards Cemetery No. 44.

After dealing with Ronin, the military advisor, the remaining Leihu is no longer a threat and there is no need for him to continue taking action.

Now that I'm here, I might as well take a look and see how things are going with Bishop River.

If the eternal life of the Blood Moon and the Golden Throne can be obtained, it will be of great help to the plan of the Son of Fire.

By the way, if I remember correctly, the gravekeeper guarding Cemetery No. 44 is also a player. He heard Lei Hu and Ronin chatting privately about it, saying that he is a young player from the Strategy Bureau who can level up just by lying down. He was only about level ten in the last dungeon.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be there too. The Sword Star of the Administration just killed a substitute saint of the church. In return, he might as well kill this guy.

A sneeze!

In the eternal tomb of Mikel I, Wu Chang suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and looked at the golden throne and the sarcophagus with a bad expression.

Which little cutie is talking about him? Don't let him catch him.

"It's almost time, let's go see what's going on." Wu Chang said, and he put a handful of cards into the deck and walked towards the golden throne.

After a period of blood moon baptism,
The situation of the people lying in the sarcophagus gradually stabilized.

Some are becoming less and less like humans, while others are gradually getting better and have some human look to them.

Just like the first blood moon eternal life, some people turned into monsters, but there were also people like Luz who maintained their human form and will and woke up before the second blood moon eternal life.

Judging from the Soul-Cleansing Flag, the black, white and red colors in the bodies of several people gradually merged into one, turning into a special stable state.

In this situation, relying solely on the Soul-Cleansing Flag to transcend is no longer enough.

But one thing is certain, that is, Luz has something to hide. Missing the first minute of the blood moon will not cause the deaths of several people completely. At most, it will only corrode their souls and make them abnormal.

Wu Chang couldn't help but sigh. He hated dishonest people the most.
Seeing that several people led by Luz were in danger of recovery, he picked up the horn that Luz gave him before he fell asleep.

"Item Name: Loud Horn"

「Item type: copy item」

"Item level: C"

"Item Skill: Inspiring Voice"

"Skill Description: Blow the horn to make the selected target get rid of the mental control state, forcibly wake up, and enter the excited state. The effect of awakening depends on the inspiration of the user. Cooling time: 120 seconds. Excited state: Strength, agility, endurance and willpower increase by 10%, and pain decreases by 10%. Duration: 3 minutes; Cooling time, 120 minutes."

"Note: If the target is under mental control of level B or higher, there is a chance that the target will fall into a state of confusion after being forcibly awakened, and will attack regardless of friend or foe. Please use with caution."

"Everyone, it's time to get up!"

Wu Chang took a deep breath and then blew the horn loudly.

The huge sound echoed in the crypt and almost pierced Han's eardrums.

With the powerful sound, everyone in the sarcophagus was forcibly awakened.

The Red Moon's baptism of eternal life had just begun, and the consciousness of the people who had delayed complete death in the sarcophagus was especially confused.

Theoretically speaking, even if the loud horn is blown to pieces, it will not be able to wake up the crowd.

But the problem is that the sobering effect of the loud horn depends on the inspiration of the user. Under the influence of Wu Chang's 98 points of inspiration, even a dead target could be blown back to life by him, let alone the few of them.

Accompanied by painful groans, the people in the sarcophagus woke up and forcibly ended the blood moon baptism.

The result of forcibly ending the ceremony was that the bodies of Lutz and others, who had been tending to be stable, collapsed again and completely transformed into monsters.

Before they fully woke up, their eyes were red and they looked at each other with malice, obviously hit by the confusion debuff.

Wuhu, now there's something exciting to watch.

Wu Chang pulled Han Er towards the entrance of the tomb. As everyone in the sarcophagus turned into monsters, Mikel I on the golden throne slowly opened his eyes.
