Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

"The closer to the time of awakening, the more powerful the Ghost Queen's subconscious becomes. This is the information the village chief revealed to me before I left Red Village."

"And it's not just a psychological attack; look at your feet."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked down at their feet.

"Our shadows...are still wriggling?" You Guo asked in surprise, "And the movement is much larger than before!"

“The Ghost Queen should have the ability to manipulate shadows,” Fan Xiao said bluntly. “Perhaps soon, her subconscious will be able to use this ability to deal with us.”

"Their strength can still increase..." Tanya frowned: "No wonder the village chief of Red Village didn't have any intention of cooperating with you to deal with the Ghost Queen. If the subconscious form is so difficult to fight, forget about the main body. It's beyond our ability to deal with!"

At this point, she asked Fan Xiao with considerable curiosity, "By the way, when we came here before, we didn't see them. You just said you eliminated them... You eliminated both of the Ghost Queens?"

“They were indeed eliminated,” Fan Xiao sighed, “but they reappeared not long afterward. Presumably, as long as the Ghost Queen’s physical body is not eliminated, her subconscious body will remain indestructible and can be repeatedly refreshed.”

"How did you manage to attack the second Ghost Queen?" Owen asked respectfully. "Isn't she and we in different dimensions? Is there some kind of pattern? For example..."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "For example, during an attack, she might temporarily come to the space we are in?"

"You're overthinking it. She directly transmitted the attack over; she didn't come over herself."

Fan Xiao sighed softly.

The Ghost Queen's ability is much more troublesome than "Divine Might," and it is indeed quite difficult to deal with.

If he hadn't been holding an A-grade item, he probably would have had to summon a little angel to attack his opponent.

Grade A item: Book of Curses.

This item works similarly to the Death Note. If you write the target's real name or player nickname on it, the target will suffer an instant physical death attack as long as their evolution rate does not exceed 50%.

At the same time, it can select targets and arrange unfortunate events, which is equivalent to writing fate in a way. However, the probability of such exaggerated arrangements coming true is very small, almost non-existent.

In addition, this item can also unleash a powerful attack—tear off a page from a book and stick it on your body. When you suffer fatal damage, you can imprint the damage onto the page, then peel off a part of your own conceptual body and integrate it into the page, thus creating an instant-death curse with conceptual locking and automatic tracking functions.

This instant-death curse can penetrate space to launch attacks.

When he was attacked by the original owner of this item, he moved to Fairy Tale Town and was still caught up by the curse... You can imagine how powerful the concept lock was.

If it weren't for the little angel's blood scythe's ability to destroy everything, he probably would have capsized in a ditch back then.

A-grade items are strong because of their bizarre conceptual nature.

Faced with the "Book of Curses," the Ghost Queen's subconscious was utterly powerless and was killed by him with a single page of the book.

Unfortunately, the attack failed to reach the main body, and the two subconscious entities came back to life.

Fan Xiao continued, "I have methods for attacking across space, but... as you've seen, killing only the subconscious mind without killing the physical body is useless."

"So...do you have other plans for staying here?" Owen reminded him, "Since we can't deal with it, there's really no need for us to fight to the death."

"Who says we can't handle it? I'm just waiting for the right opportunity."

Fan Xiao replied mysteriously.

"When?" Tanya asked curiously.

"Calculating the time, it should be almost done."

Fan Xiao did not answer directly, but instead looked behind the two ghostly voices.

A short while later, the ground began to tremble.

Tanya and the others sensed the commotion and quickly looked ahead.

A large number of bizarre monsters were seen moving at great speed through the thick white fog, approaching the sea of ​​blood.

One after another, they leaped into the sea of ​​blood and then merged into it.

At that moment, a commotion was heard in the air.

A large number of flying monsters with outstretched wings descended from the sky and fell directly into the sea of ​​blood.

Chapter 550 This isn't short, this is a loli

A large number of bizarre, fleshy creatures, like worker ants serving the queen, continuously transported the collected mountain spirit flesh and blood into the sea of ​​blood.

After receiving so much flesh and blood, the area of ​​the Blood Sea expanded rapidly, with huge tentacles emerging from it every now and then, covered with countless eyeballs.

At that moment, new flesh and blood creatures were born one after another.

They pollute the air, the earth, and even the microorganisms beneath the soil with their sight, sound, smell, and touch... They pollute everything.

The concentration of distortion surrounding the area is increasing.

One of the two ghost goddesses' subconscious bodies lost its space to survive, and its spirit disappeared from the spot after flickering a few times.

Only the second ghost goddess, who was in another dimension, continued to wave her hand and relentlessly attacked Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao remained unaffected and grinned, saying, "The time has come."

The flesh-and-blood creatures he created to hunt the mountain spirits have finally returned with a bountiful harvest.

Players' psionic abilities always follow the principle that great power brings miracles.

With sufficient mental strength, even the lowest level of E-grade psionic energy can create astonishing phenomena.

Given the current scale of the Blood Sea, and the "Will Chaos Storm" it creates, coupled with the B-grade item "Gate to the Incredible Kingdom"... Fan Xiao estimated that even if the Ghost Queen's true form awakened, the mental attacks she released would hardly affect him.

He has no shortage of offensive power; what he worries about most is being affected by the enemy's mental state during an attack, which could lead to mistakes.

The B-grade item "Mirror" can perfectly defend against mental attacks, but it can only help him avoid interference; it cannot directly defend against them.

Frontal defense is a necessary condition for launching close-range attacks.

Unless the enemy's reaction speed is much slower than his, in which case he can use teleportation items to coordinate his attacks with ease.

The Ghost Queen's strength is unknown, so we can't be so arrogant. We must make all the necessary preparations.

Now that the worry about mental interference has been resolved, Fan Xiao feels he can finally relax and enjoy himself.

With a tearing sound, he ripped a page from the "Book of Curses" and stuck it to his body.

Then, his body suddenly exploded—his self-mutilation using the psychic power of the "Flesh Progenitor" was recognized by the "Book of Curses."

In the next instant, all his injuries were imprinted on the pages of the book he was wearing, and his shattered body was completely healed in the blink of an eye.

The second instant-death curse was thus created.

Fan Xiao immediately sensed the weakness of his own conceptual body—in a short period of time, he probably wouldn't be able to split off parts of his concepts and fuse them into a third instant-death curse.

Thankfully... it's enough!

He and the subconscious entity of the Ghost Queen have already established a sufficient causal relationship.

Now, it shouldn't be difficult to lock this second curse onto the Ghost Queen's true form.

Just to be on the safe side, he even transferred all the bad luck he had accumulated over the past few days to the Ghost Queen, increasing the probability that she would be attacked.

"If I can't hit you even with this, I'll admit defeat in this dungeon."

Fan Xiao recalled the location of Hongcun in his mind, his eyes fixed on the subconscious form of the Ghost Goddess in front of him. Relying on the strange causal connection, he silently locked the target of the curse onto the Ghost Goddess herself.

In that instant, the formless power representing the instant death curse automatically spread forward.

About ten seconds later.

With a loud "bang," the subconscious form of the Ghost Queen in front of everyone exploded on the spot, dissipating into points of spiritual light.

Before she disappeared completely, a weak, pitiful scream escaped her lips, as if she were in great pain.

This scene shocked Tanya and the others.

What happened... It was fine just now, how did it suddenly explode?

You Guo subconsciously looked at Fan Xiao and asked, "Uh... Brother Fan, didn't you say that attacking the subconscious mind is ineffective?"

"This time I'm attacking the main body, but..."

Fan Xiao glanced at the player panel and said thoughtfully, "The effect doesn't seem to be as good as expected...?"

Judging from the fact that his subconscious body exploded on the spot, his instant death curse did indeed hit the Ghost Queen's true form.

However, the game notification for completing the third task did not arrive as expected.

This proves that the Ghost Queen was not killed!

Fan Xiao was somewhat surprised.

Although the "Book of Curses" is not an item specifically designed for attack, and its main effects are concentrated on causal arrangement and attack lock-on, it is still an A-grade item. It's absurd that it didn't kill the Ghost Queen directly... The boss of the C-grade dungeon, Red and White Village, is ridiculously strong!

Unfortunately, he is only a C-level player. With his current conceptual body strength, fusing two curses is already the limit. He will not be able to release a third curse in a short period of time.

The plan to remotely kill the Demon Queen using an A-grade item has now failed.

"You attacked the main body?" You Guo looked at Fan Xiao with suspicion. "How did you attack it? Could it be that the Ghost Queen's main body has come here?"

After this question was asked, the other players tensed up and looked around, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Instinctively, everyone crowded around Fan Xiao, forming a circle around him.

That posture made it seem as if he was protecting some important person.

Of course, it's actually the other way around.

"..." Fan Xiao said with a slightly speechless expression, "The Ghost Queen hasn't arrived here yet. If you're scared, you can leave first. You won't be hindered from leaving now."

"Temporarily?" Tanya grasped the key word.

"If someone slapped you hard while you were sleeping, waking you up, and even knocked out your front tooth... how would you react?"

Fan Xiao countered with a vivid metaphor.

Upon hearing him say that, the others immediately realized what he meant.

The Ghost Queen was most likely forcibly awakened by the attack just now.

This place is about to become extremely dangerous!

"How did you manage to attack her?" Tanya asked. "Logically speaking, the Ghost Queen should be asleep in Red Village, and her form of existence is unknown. How did you manage to hit a target with an unknown state from such a distance?"

Fan Xiao did not answer the question.

He changed the subject, saying, "By the way... what are you still doing here? Aren't you afraid of the Ghost Queen?"

Everyone was silent for a few seconds.

Then, You Guo said, "Ahem... Brother Fan, I don't know what the others think, but Xiao Tian, ​​Xu Xuan, and I stayed behind to help you. After all, we formed a team before entering the dungeon. Now that you're still in the dungeon, it would be a bit unreasonable for us to leave early."

He wasn't lying about that.

Staying to help was indeed one of their objectives... well, one of them.

Fan Xiao is definitely not a reckless fool. Even with the Ghost Queen's strength being so abnormal, he still did not choose to back down... Needless to say, he must have mastered a special strategy to clear the level.

This battle may seem dangerous, but it is actually a favorable situation.

By staying and playing, they could not only get a better dungeon rating, but also leave a decent impression on Fan Xiao.

Even though they may not be able to help much, their good intentions will leave a good impression.

Moreover, they came to the 011 section not just to run dungeons, but mainly to compete for dungeon items.

With Fan Xiao as a key player, the process of vying for props will undoubtedly be safer.

Although Fan Xiao may not necessarily continue to travel with them after leaving Hongbai Village, they should still try to fight for what they can.

Yu Guo wasn't the only player present with this idea.

So even though the Demon Queen hung over their heads like the Sword of Damocles, they still withstood the pressure and stayed.

"Hmph, you don't even think before you brag?" Owen sneered. "You're already being kind by staying here and not being a burden, yet you dare to claim you can help? Are you going to make things worse?"

"Haha, the sentiment is the most important thing, and the sentiment must be right." You Guo countered, "And you, Brother Ouen, what are you staying for?"

“Of course, it’s to admire Mr. Fan’s invincible feat of clearing the dungeon.” Owen said without hesitation, “I’m not like you guys with ulterior motives.”

"..."

"Simps are really something else..." You Guo thought to himself.

Tanya then asked Fan Xiao, "Could you tell me about your plan? If it's feasible, I can cooperate with your arrangements. Although you're very strong and might not need our help, you probably wouldn't refuse if it makes clearing the level easier, right?"

"The proposal is tempting, but unfortunately..." Fan Xiao smiled and said, "I have no plans."

"...No plan?" Tanya was taken aback.
