Chapter 549 A-grade item for a powerful kill

"So...we're still in danger?"

Fan Xiao's words surprised Tanya: "But the first dungeon mission is to survive for seven days. Given the current situation... is this mission the hardest to complete? It doesn't seem to fit the pattern of difficulty..."

After leaving the White City area, they were not protected at all... As a result, if they wanted to complete their first mission, they would have to endure the attacks of the awakened Ghost Queen for four days.

is it possible?

According to the information revealed by the village chief of Hongcun, they probably wouldn't even last 10 minutes!

Fan Xiao shook his head and replied, "Not every survival instance will have its missions ordered according to difficulty. You'd better not have that fixed idea."

"The 'Survive for Seven Days' quest... I think it's designed for players who choose to stay in White Village wearing mourning clothes. As long as they survive for seven days, they can use a ticket to teleport away from here."

"As for us... I estimate that even if we leave now, it won't lower our dungeon rating. The first mission probably won't improve our score in the current state."

Earlier, while they were in the sedan chair, Tanya had told him about the situation in Baicun.

He knew that wearing a white cloth would force him to stay in Bai Village.

"By the way, Brother Fan, what are you doing holding that book in your hand?"

You Guochao glanced at the black book in Fan Xiao's hand a few times and asked with some curiosity.

“This is no ordinary book,” Fan Xiao said seriously. “It’s an A-grade item, a trophy I plundered after I killed an A-grade player.”

The group looked at each other and remained silent for a few seconds.

Subsequently... none of them took that statement seriously.

Level A players are at the very top in their respective divisions. They know their own strength and status and won't be easily fooled.

It seems that Brother Fan is reluctant to reveal information about this book, so everyone gave up their curiosity.

Tanya brought up other things, saying, "Since you've also given up on the third mission, how about we clear the dungeon and leave now? You came from node G03, so your goal must be the same as ours—to find dungeon items. We can cooperate once we're out; the more people there are, the bigger our intelligence network will become."

“No, who said I gave up?” Fan Xiao said, “It’s still going strong.”

"Fighting? Fighting with whom?" Tanya was taken aback.

"The Ghost Queen." Fan Xiao gestured behind the group with his chin, "Look, isn't she standing right behind you?"

"???"

Tanya and the others were startled and immediately looked back.

Two graceful figures dressed in bright red wedding gowns and covered with blood-red veils appeared behind the group.

The surrounding air quickly turned cold and damp.

The faint shadows beneath their feet began to sway, as if they were about to come alive.

It really is the Demon Queen...!?

Wasn't it said that he would wake up eight hours later?

Why was it brought forward...?

"No! This is the subconscious mind!"

Tanya immediately realized what was happening.

The others also realized this and immediately dispersed, putting a great distance between themselves and the two eerie figures.

To their surprise, the Ghost Queen's subconscious mind completely ignored them.

Beneath the lifted red veil, two cold gazes fell upon Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao sighed softly, "As expected, if I don't get rid of your true form, it won't matter how many times I try to kill you... You're as sticky as a piece of chewing gum. Am I really that attractive to you?"

"..."

The Ghost Queen naturally wouldn't respond to this provocative remark.

They simultaneously extended their bloodless right hands and waved to Fan Xiao.

As the two arms swayed, a strong mental reaction disturbed the surrounding air, creating visible ripples.

The ripples swept towards Fan Xiao in the sea of ​​blood, and wherever they passed, all living beings with a mental response were affected.

Although Tanya and the others, who were far from their original positions, were not the targets of the attack, they were still caught in the aftershocks. A look of bewilderment appeared on their faces, their eyes became somewhat vacant, and they all clutched at their own necks.

Perhaps because it was the aftermath of the attack, their movements were slow, and their consciousness was fighting against the mental interference of the Ghost Queen.

In the center of the sea of ​​blood, Fan Xiao, who was the target of the attack, was actually unharmed.

Because of the dense, distorted power that filled the sky above the blood-red lake and every inch of air, a chaotic and violent ring of will was formed.

This environment tore apart and weakened the spreading psychological attacks.

At the same time, a semi-transparent square gate appeared in front of Fan Xiao—a B-grade item, the Gate to the Incredible Kingdom.

Behind the door lies a wondrous other dimension, isolated from mental interference from the outside.

With this double layer of mental protection, he was essentially in a completely safe place.

At least the Ghost Queen's subconscious mind could not bypass these two defenses and attack him through mental interference.

To provoke him, Fan Xiao deliberately showed a sarcastic expression: "You only ever use the same trick over and over again, you're really quite boring."

*Snap*—He snapped his fingers.

Instantly, countless monsters surged and roared in the sea of ​​blood, their voices converging to form a melody filled with distorted power.

After the music spread to the surrounding area, the Ghost Queen's mental attack was completely destroyed like a bursting bubble.

Even the spirit of one of the ghost goddesses began to flicker, as if it had been subjected to an extremely strong influence.

If the sea of ​​blood were larger, the dense distortions could crush it and perhaps tear its spirit into pieces in one blow.

The next second, Tanya and the others snapped out of their struggle and looked on with surprise and uncertainty.

Were they... affected just now?

"Those who can't hold on should leave first," Fan Xiao reminded them.

Upon hearing this, the players who were teamed up with Owen chose to clear the level immediately and leave.

The number of players on site suddenly dropped to eight.

Owen frowned, but didn't say anything.

It was a team relationship that was only put together temporarily. If someone leaves, they leave. He has no right to interfere.

It's just that... Tanya and Youguo's teammates didn't leave, but his people left... He felt very embarrassed.

"It's a spirit!"

Tanya spoke up to remind everyone.

Then, she activated her mental attack item: "Tears of the Holy Spirit!"

Suddenly, an eyeball appeared in her hand. With a flick of her wrist, a large number of translucent tears shot out from the eyeball, flying forward like bullets at an extremely fast speed toward the two ghostly figures.

It felt like a torrential downpour was about to begin.

Immediately afterwards, a holy light appeared.

Wisps of black energy emerged from one of the ghost goddesses, whose spirit body was visibly becoming transparent.

At the same time, Owen reacted quickly, pulling out a strangely shaped lighter right after Tanya.

He pointed the lighter at the ghostly figure on his left and pressed the ignition key: "Burning with rage!"

A deep red flame emerged from the lighter.

The firelight shone on the Ghost Queen.

The next instant, the ghost goddess who was being targeted felt an overwhelming surge of anger.

She even let out a beast-like roar.

These emotions acted as fuel in the next second, igniting the spirit of the Ghost Queen.

Crimson flames enveloped it, and the Ghost Queen's furious roar gradually turned into a wail of pain.

On the other side, You Guo tore up a banknote: "Give up the resistance!"

Then, he and Xiaotian, who was standing next to him, joined Tanya and Owen in launching a prop attack: "The mournful wail of the dead!"

"Touch of Death!"

The effects of the four items arrived one after another.

Su, Jian, and Xu Xuan, who did not have any mental attack items, activated energy-attribute items instead.

In an instant, the two ghost goddesses were bombarded by seven players.

The surrounding ground collapsed under the weight.

In just a few seconds, one of the ghost goddesses was eliminated.

Its spirit vanished on the spot, as if it had never existed.

However, the other ghost goddess was very sturdy... no, it was beyond sturdy—no matter how she was attacked, she was not harmed at all.

It was as if the player's attack was nothing to her.

"What's going on?!" Xiao Tian exclaimed in surprise, "The attack is ineffective... It's the same ability as that Cyclops?"

"Impossible!" You Guo analyzed, "The Cyclops has high resistance, but the Demon Queen... we clearly haven't even broken through her defenses!"

"It's space."

Because of her spatial abilities, Tanya keenly perceived the truth—the surviving ghost goddess was not in the same space as them.

At this moment, the Ghost Queen glanced to the side.

To the players' horror, the demon queen who had been defeated reappeared in the same spot.

The two ghost goddesses turned their heads at the same time and looked at Tanya and the others.

Then they raised their right hands and shook them.

You Guo quickly tore a banknote into pieces: "Reduce the attack!"

Soon, a mental fluctuation spread out.

Players, including Youguo, all wore dazed expressions, and one by one they poked their fingers at their eyes...

"Roar……!"

A chaotic roar erupted.

The dense, distorted pollution spread, tearing apart the demon queen's mental attack.

Fan Xiao's voice reached Tanya and the others who had regained consciousness once again: "Don't waste your time. Only one of these two ghost goddesses is real. The other is most likely some kind of projection. Both Red Village and White Village have subconscious ghost goddesses at work. Perhaps this phenomenon is achieved through this ability."

As he spoke, the Ghost Queen kept waving her hand, showing no sign of stopping.

Fan Xiao then made the flesh and blood creatures in the sea of ​​blood roar continuously, tearing apart the increasingly intense mental attacks and protecting Tanya and the others.

The two sides were thus locked in a stalemate.

Seeing this, Tanya and the others abandoned their attack and quickly approached Fan Xiao.

You Guo came to Fan Xiao's left and asked, "Brother Fan, what do we do now? Should we retreat? The Ghost Queen is not to be trifled with!"

"Their combined mental attack is too powerful!" Tanya frowned. "We can't stop them except for you!"

"When they weren't a group, I never saw you blocking them..." Fan Xiao subconsciously wanted to say something sarcastic or insulting.

However, considering that now was not the time to flirt with people, I held back.

"and."

Tanya continued, "One is the real body, and the other is a projection. We can only attack the projection, but the projection can be recreated at any time... This can't go on. I feel that their mental attacks are getting stronger and stronger."

She could actually use her spatial abilities to transmit her attacks to the Ghost Queen who was hiding in another dimension.

However... this method is extremely energy-consuming and will lead to exhaustion.

Killing the Ghost Queen wasn't her goal; there was no need to risk her life here.

"You have a pretty keen sense of perception."

Fan Xiao nodded to Tanya and said, "Their psychological attacks are indeed gradually increasing in intensity."
