Chapter 1251 - 1218: Zhang Xinying’s Abnormality
"Furious Dragon Wave!"
A ferocious fire dragon erupted from the barren land and soared into the sky.
As soon as it appeared, it hurled itself toward the densely packed silver-armored beetles on the ground:
"Boom!" with a loud crash, sparks flew everywhere, and the earth shook violently.
The silver beetles in that area were wiped out by this explosion.
However, the cleared spot was quickly filled by a dense mass of silver beetles from behind.
At this moment, an arrow appeared in mid-air:
"Bursting Arrow Rain"
With a "bang~", the arrow disassembled in the air into dozens more:
"Whiz, whiz, whiz~"
The dozens of split arrows rapidly fell to the ground.
Each arrow, like a bomb dropping from above, exploded upon impact.
The silver beetles were blasted to pieces, and the ground was pockmarked with uneven craters from the explosions.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly leaped into the air:
"Watch me."
In mid-air, Xiao He flung the giant hammer in his hand:
"Soul Shattering Heaven-breaking Hammer"
The giant hammer, guided by the chains in Xiao He’s hand, smashed into the mass of silver beetles threatening to approach their hiding spot.
The massive hammer created a deep pit in the ground, accompanied by a spray of debris.
The densely packed silver beetles were crushed to pieces under this hammer blow, leaving behind a field of corpses.
Xiao He landed back within the protective circle of the group, exclaiming excitedly:
"In just over an hour, my experience has increased by a third, so fast!"
Normally, this amount of experience would take at least ten days to half a month.
But now, it only took less than two hours.
Even those used to great events found this incredible.
This speed of leveling up is akin to a rocket.
And in this situation, where Tian Ci was almost useless, took the time to calculate:
"At this rate."
"I reckon in a month or two, we’ll all be expected to reach Lv80, then Eighth Transformation."
After the Eighth Transformation, on the Rafam continent, we’d be demigod-level super beings.
Many City Lords of the Main Cities probably haven’t attained this power yet.
Facing such prospects, how could they not be excited?
At this moment, Red Eyes expressed wistfully:
"If Boss Feng was here too, it would be perfect."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in strong agreement.
With Lin Yi’s monstrous strength and endless tactics.
Back then, the speed of monster farming would definitely be one or two times faster than now.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi wasn’t present.
Faced with the endless silver beetles, Handsome Blunt couldn’t contain his excitement:
"This way of leveling up is so thrilling, I love it."
In this game, probably only Handsome Blunt’s group of eccentrics could farm monsters with such high efficiency.
Except for Tian Ci and Red Eyes, even Zhang Xinying, the Priest, has one or two group attack skills.
Though her damage wasn’t enough to instantly kill the silver beetles like Handsome Blunt and others,
she could still provide some assistance to everyone.
At this moment, Handsome Blunt suddenly said:
"Have you guys noticed."
"It seems like after becoming spiritual bodies, our skill usage has become smoother, hasn’t it?"
Xiao He immediately chimed in:
"I was just about to say that."
"Previously, when using skills, there was always a slight pause, even if it was less than a second."
"But now!"
"Even that tiny pause is gone."
As for why this was happening, the group discussed but couldn’t come to a conclusion.
At this moment, Mingmen Yue’Er noticed something unusual on Zhang Xinying’s face and couldn’t help but ask with concern:
"Sister Xinying, are you alright?"
Zhang Xinying, in a daze, shook her head and said:
"Oh, nothing’s wrong."
The others noticed too and quickly became worried:
"Is Sister Feng uncomfortable?"
Red Eyes suggested:
"Could it be that the insects here are making her uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Handsome Blunt furrowed his brows.
Looking at the dense mass of silver beetles all around, making a noise that was likely to make anyone’s skin crawl,
for someone with trypophobia, this scene certainly was uncomfortable to watch.
With this thought, Handsome Blunt quickly said:
"How about we stop farming for today?"
The others had no objections to this.
Especially seeing Zhang Xinying’s face, which seemed slightly pale.
Yuna also came over and said:
"Your face doesn’t look too good. Are you sure you’re okay?"
Zhang Xinying, who initially wanted to act as if nothing was wrong, also wanted to not waste everyone’s leveling time.
After all, entering here was restricted by daily limits and time constraints.
But the inexplicable anxiety made her unable to calm down.
Because of this, her face gradually lost its color.
In reality, Zhang Xinying, at this moment, was lying in her game pod wearing pajamas, anxiously shifting her body.
Especially her smooth forehead, where fine beads of sweat were forming.
It was the height of summer, after all.
But whether it was the room or the game pod, the air conditioning was on!
Especially the game pod, which adjusts the internal temperature according to body temperature, keeping the body comfortable while gaming.
Seeing that Zhang Xinying’s complexion wasn’t improving, Shiyu decisively said:
"Let’s log out."
Then, using his team leader privileges, he chose to log out.
But what they didn’t expect.
When Shiyu selected [Confirm Logout], they didn’t appear in the teleportation array plaza of the Main City like they usually did after leaving a dungeon.
Instead, they suddenly found their bodies unable to move, even unable to use skills.
It felt like the internet was under attack. Except for their eyes, the rest of their bodies were in a state of unconsciousness and uncontrollability.
Stable as a mountain stood at the front, shocked:
"What’s going on?"
At this moment, Shiyu also had no idea, quickly shaking his head:
"I just normally chose to exit the dungeon, and then this happened."
"I don’t know either."
While everyone was at a loss, they discovered the surrounding silver beetles were in the same state, crammed together motionless.
As if someone had pressed a pause button.
But soon, ----------------
The pause button was released again.
The silver beetles were like tigers released from their cage, flapping their wings and swarming towards everyone.
And the group, unable to control their bodies, could only watch as the silver beetles excitedly gnawed at their (spiritual body/ghost) forms.
As their life values dwindled rapidly, they could only watch in terror as they ’died.’
