The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 278 Blood Sun (25)

A transparent serpent snake snaked out from under the venomous snake's feet, and a chill ran through the air. Players with slightly weaker abilities were frozen, their thoughts stopped, and they were left at the mercy of others.

Old Gu, engrossed in collecting crystals, didn't hear the commotion outside. But as danger approached, he was the first to sense it and react, grabbing Yin Leng's collar and pulling her back.

It rolled twice before narrowly avoiding the sneak attack.

Looking back, damn it, it's the venomous snake's superpower again!
The things hanging on Yin Leng's body jingled as he clutched the crystals he had just exchanged—all star coins, he couldn't afford to lose them.

In the blink of an eye, I saw a semi-transparent snake biting a person's throat, sucking blood into their body, gradually turning it red.

His pupils shrank sharply.

The player who was bitten collapsed instantly.

The player had just jokingly told me that with this money, I could take my son on a trip and enjoy a rare family activity.

He spoke with anticipation and excitement.

Yin Leng opened his mouth angrily, but Lao Gu quickly covered it. "Tong Zi is here. Don't provoke the snake. If we can't kill him in the contaminated area, he will take revenge on you."

A vengeful viper will not let any opportunity to kill its enemy pass by.

Old Gu was clear-headed; Yin Leng was a support type and no match for the Viper.

"The younger generation who fought against the venomous snake in the past are all dead. Before you grow up to fight back, just bear with it."

"But……"

"No buts. Do you dare say you can fight him after you unleash your full power?" Without the protagonist's halo, forget about challenging someone of a higher level.

A few venomous snakes could easily kill them.

Old Gu successfully persuaded Yin Leng and brought him into the camp.

Just then, they encountered Lei Qingya, who was covered in sweat. Upon hearing that the poisonous snake had arrived, she hurriedly ended her exercise.

Kong Lingzhong strode over: "Is anyone injured?"

"Yes, but we don't know how many people were injured; we only had time to hide inside." This was to avoid causing trouble for Tong Zitian.

Lei Qingya and Kong Lingzhong nodded to them and rushed out the door.

Once Yin Leng calmed down completely, he felt much more at ease seeing that the two of them were not afraid of the venomous snakes.

Soon after, the bitten player was moved to the treatment room, where Lena was in charge of treatment and Yin Leng assisted.

Lena: "Another snake bite? When will the higher-ups convict him? He's just a murderous executioner; there's no need to keep him alive."

"Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking?" Old Gu said, pursing his lips.

A venomous snake that's rotten to the core and oozing pus might still be of some use!

After that day, the venomous snake blocked the door every day. Since he wouldn't leave, Tong Zi, Kong Lingzhong, and Lei Qingya had to take turns guarding it.

Lao Gu and Yin Leng became more discreet, slowing down their efforts to collect crystals.

Old Gu, who had already begun his work routine, noticed something strange. He proactively reported to Lei Qingya: "Since entering 'Blood Sun,' the venomous snake has been accompanied by a female hunter surnamed Yuan. But we haven't seen her these past few days. Should we send someone to investigate?"

"The original hunter?" Lei Qingya asked Lao Gu what kind of superpower this person had.

Old Gu: "It's something like bewitching people, I'm not sure. I've never seen her in the Star Alliance. She's probably a newly recruited or hidden hunter."

"you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure, she has such a great figure that both men and women would remember her immediately. If I had seen her in the Star Alliance, I wouldn't have forgotten her."

The name Ziyue flashed through Lei Qingya's mind.

Su Ninglong did not hide her past with Ziyue; it was just a very ordinary friendship.

However, because they know each other, Ziyue might use this relationship to deceive them.

Therefore, Su Ninglong reminded them to be careful when they encountered Ziyue, because the fact that Wu Xingyi kept her by his side meant she must have some skills.

Former friends have become complete strangers. After ruling out the possibility of split personality, the whole thing becomes bizarre.

Nowadays, people are extra careful about the people they know, fearing that their friends might have been switched at birth.

“We will keep an eye on it. In the current situation, she is missing and we can’t find her,” Lei Qingya said.

Old Gu was worried, but hoped that nothing unexpected would happen.

The weather was hot during the day, and after the venomous snake and his gang had been causing trouble for a while, both sides were a bit listless. They didn't know what the venomous snake's provocation was for.
However, the venomous snakes blocking the entrance greatly hindered players' entry and exit.

Tong Zi stared blankly at the venomous snake, cursing and swearing, his calm eyes revealing nothing of his thoughts.

The sky over "Blood Sun" changes in an instant; dark clouds drift in, and soon it starts to rain.

The rain wasn't heavy, but a strong wind picked up, and flashes of lightning were hidden in the dark clouds.

"There's no thunderstorm on Blood Day, right?" Old Gu and Yin Leng murmured to themselves, hiding in a corner.

Yin Leng was also puzzled; he had been inside Blood Sun for so long and hadn't heard any thunder.

Thicker dark clouds gathered overhead, heavy and oppressive, seemingly foreshadowing something to happen.

In the dimly lit room, the fire in the furnace gradually died down, but it still emitted a scorching heat, and the furnace shone with a blinding white light.

Su Ninglong composed herself, a smile playing on her lips. Her fair hand cradled a "model" shrouded in thick fog, the magical artifact that had consumed countless hours of her energy was finally successfully crafted.

Having been in the game for over ten days, it's time to deliver a heavy blow to the Mystic Spirit.

Once the mountain path is incorporated into the spiritual vein, it will officially become a treasure of the sect, and the cultivator's progress will be rapid.

Su Ninglong looked up. "Sigh, I'm going to be struck by lightning again. Before I am struck by lightning, I need to collect the spiritual veins first."

Lei Qingya had obviously noticed the commotion above him and whispered a few words to Tong Zi.

Tong Zi looked up at Lei Qingya, "The plan is proceeding as scheduled. Go and inform Shen Zhaoming."

Without Lei Qingya needing to search, Shen Zhaoming had already emerged from seclusion and could proceed to the next step.

Shen Zhaoming asked Kong Lingzhong for a favor.

Kong Lingzhong, having nothing better to do, asked, "What kind of help?"

“Su Ninglong has gone to carry out the plan, and I will proceed with the cleanup process in parallel. At that time, the monsters in the entire contaminated area will riot.”

Kong Lingzhong has something to say that I'm not sure if I should say.

The word "get lost" was on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say it. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

“Just protect me for a while, and the cleanup process will take effect quickly. I’m just being cautious, afraid that the venomous snake might interfere and disrupt the operation.” Shen Zhaoming added, “I only found out that the venomous snake was here after I came out of the room.”

Shen Zhaoming, who was holed up in his room, would rest for a while at first, but later he had no time to rest at all. He hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights.

Hearing the thunder in the sky, he dared not delay.

“Okay, I will protect you,” Kong Lingzhong agreed.

Tong Zi has already entered command mode. In the past few days, she has been training players in defense and positioning, clearly preparing for a major battle.

All the players gathered, marched in unison, and, dressed in fine attire, formed the defensive formation they had rehearsed.

As Su Ninglong moved further away, the dark clouds overhead shifted their position.

The rain was still falling, and a somber atmosphere permeated the rain curtain.

Tong Zi raised her cane and tapped it on the ground. "It would be impolite to provoke each other at this time. Let's each take a step back. I don't want both of us to suffer losses."

The venomous snakes were unconcerned and unthreatened.

The hunter relayed a message to the viper, saying that she was ready.

"It's been a long time since I've had a proper workout." His pupils became two vertical slits, like the eyes of a venomous snake, locking onto its prey and flashing with a cold, indifferent light.

Suddenly, the air trembled, and everyone could feel the erosion increasing rapidly. The erosion values ​​on the character data screen skyrocketed.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

"Help! Doctor Xiao Ai, please come quickly!"

Lena, being the most sensitive, braced herself with her palm, leaped over the table, ran to the front door, and swiftly activated her healing ability to cover everyone.

The players expressed their gratitude.

Tong Zi remained calm, looking at the unchanged Viper and the others, and calmly questioned Viper about what he had done.

"We didn't do much. Blood Sun will soon be ours. I wonder if the famous Miss Tong can escape this crisis." Viper was confident of victory. Thinking about the even more tragic scene that was about to unfold, he was so excited that his skin turned pink, revealing a venomous side beneath his effeminate demeanor.

The word “belongs to” has too many meanings.

It can be a subordinate, it can be ownership and control, or it can be part of someone.

As soon as he finished speaking, monsters twisted and formed from behind the rain curtain, their numbers enormous.

Tong Zi: "You think you can do whatever you want just because you control the polluted area? Not only can you not control it, but we also won't let you succeed."

"Anyone can talk big," Viper licked his lips. "Looks like you're eager to experience it for yourself."

Lao Gu stood next to Yin Leng, and Tong Zi assigned him a task, asking him to protect Yin Leng.

Yin Leng also possesses healing abilities, but they are more niche and less common.

Examples include detoxification, clearing away mental pollution, and battle song bonuses.

Lena, on the other hand, is a genuine healer; her superpowers can alleviate or cure any physical ailment.

So he chose to stand by Lena's side, and with their combined swords, they were invincible.

Old Gu: "..."

Tong Zizhen is overthinking things. Yin Leng has many ways to protect himself, which is why he was able to hide in the cave for so long.

The twisted monster figures moved quickly. They had formed a faction, ignoring the venomous snakes and the others, and charged forward.

The crawling blood beast was the fastest; it leaped up and opened its blood-red maw at Tong Zi.

The monster was killed when the Star Eclipse Staff was moved forward slightly.

However, there were too many monsters, so Tong Zi had to focus on dealing with them and couldn't afford to be distracted.

The viper watched with cold eyes as Kong Lingzhong's troops stubbornly resisted, thinking to himself, "You're not going to die this time?"

He wants the Star Alliance to disappear, and ideally, all elites to cease to exist.

The Star Alliance knows exactly what the Star Alliance is up to, and Zhou Jiaxi is only able to stay in power because of the Star Alliance's support.

Hunter organizations must never become government departments; joining the government would be tantamount to becoming servants of the people.

The spiritual beings should be high above, and ordinary people are not worthy of being compared with them.

They'd rather endure it, until the Star Alliance gives up.

This is a contest between spiritual organizations and the government.

Whether they can hold on or not actually has something to do with Tong Zi.

Zhou Jiaxi is just a shareholder, and Star Alliance has not actually suffered any losses, maintaining a balance.

This balance is quite delicate, which just makes it impossible for Zhou Jiaxi to profit from it, and he even has to spit out star coins to maintain his business, resulting in a deficit.

The remaining shareholders, some with technical expertise and others with government influence, are all capable of challenging Zhou Jiaxi. Let's see who admits defeat first.

Given this situation, Zhou Jiaxi will soon become a marginal figure in the Star Alliance.

One of the key figures in maintaining this balance is the Xingqi family behind Tong Zi, who are involved in military, political, and business affairs.

Although there was infighting within the Tong family, their goals were the same: to get the Spiritualists organization to submit and stop causing trouble and hindering social harmony.

If Tong Ziruo dies, the balance will be disrupted.

Viper's words and actions were directed at Su Ninglong, but his real purpose, of course, was to kill Tong Zi as well.

He intervened when the monsters launched a full-scale attack...

……

Shen Zhaoming was inconspicuous among the players, yet he subtly became their center of attention, surrounded by streams of blue light data.

Kong Lingzhong and his baby-faced secretary took turns killing the monster, deliberately concealing their actions.

Those unaware of the situation simply assumed that Shen Zhaoming was using his supernatural abilities to fight the monster.

Shen Zhaoming was stirring up trouble, and at the same time, Su Ninglong was also stirring up trouble.

She distanced herself from crowded places and went underground.

The spiritual veins of "Blood Sun" are vast and their output is immeasurable; it is also unknown how they were formed.

In the past, the sect also had a similar spiritual vein underground. In order to make it continuously produce spirit stones, the sect elders and successive sect leaders found dozens of other spiritual veins of varying sizes and merged them into it, which allowed it to become a spirit.

Becoming a spirit signifies the possession of a soul, like a sword spirit. A spiritual vein possessing a spirit is no longer an ordinary spiritual vein.

Su Ninglong gently placed her hands on the spirit stone exposed on the surface of the rock, closed her eyes, and gently called out along the spiritual veins with her divine sense.

Time passed slowly, and Su Ninglong maintained her current posture with great patience.

"Ok?"

"who are you?"

A weak voice responded timidly.

It has arrived; the first step of communication has been completed. Su Ninglong tells it that she will move it away, freeing it from the control of the Mystic Spirit.

"Then...then can you control me?" The straightforward answer reveals the naivety of the spirit vein.

All beings born from nature love pure energy and pure people.

However, it was covered by the subspace of the Mysterious Spirit Realm from the very beginning, and it suffered terribly every day.

"Is the solar eclipse your means of resistance?"

What does "solar eclipse" mean?

Well, the illiterate spirit was putting Su Ninglong in a bit of a predicament, and it was also difficult to explain what a solar eclipse was through mental communication.

"Just tell me if you want to continue. I won't control you; you need to enter a container to escape." If you don't believe me...

"I don't want to continue, please take me in." The spirit of the spiritual vein is too weak; if it doesn't leave soon, it will dissipate.

In the battle for the spiritual vein region, it was always at a disadvantage, and no matter how it resisted, it had no hope of victory.

Driven by a strong will to survive, the spirit decided to take a gamble. The creature before it had a clean aura, much better than the spirit's own stinky self.

Su Ninglong: "..."

None of her prepared explanations were used; the mysterious spirit had forced the spirit into its trap.

"I'll guide you here, and you'll need to cooperate. You might experience some pain during the process."

"Mmm!" The spirit of the spiritual vein was very obedient and gentle.

It doesn't mind the pain; it's better than the current situation. The spirit of the spiritual vein is different from the little bamboo shoot.

It does not have the ability to devour spirits, but it has relatively high resistance.

When spirits are corrupted, they lose their independent thought; without thought, they dissipate.

Having finally been born, it must survive.
