Chapter 163: Reappearance
Those barbarians were clearly unable to adapt and began to go berserk.
After a roar, two barbarian members slashed over; after dodging one, Zhuguli began to run into the dense forest.
Thanks to the training in the dense forest over this recent period, Zhuguli had suffered quite a bit during this time in order to be able to capture spiritual creatures.
Not to mention dying twice inside the Petrified Frog, he had also learned quite a bit of wilderness knowledge in the dense forest.
By looking at the direction the grass was bent, one could roughly judge where those who had snuck in had gone.
This was also to blame on those barbarians for exploiting the warlike psychology of the War Believers; if not for having orders, those few guys watching from the sidelines might have already run to the front line.
There might be even more people who have snuck in.
Zhuguli walked forward along the tracks, but no matter how he walked, it seemed he could not get out.
It was clearly a path he was familiar with; could it be that he had encountered an Illusionist again?
Regarding Illusionists, the forum had already discussed how to break them.
As long as one steps out of fixed thinking, that kind of low-level Illusionist is very easy to deal with.
Zhuguli stopped his footsteps, then directly chopped down all the trees around him.
His strength was great, and chopping down a few trees did not consume much of his stamina.
But for Laina, the problem was huge.
What she possessed was merely a D-rank Seal Object, and this Seal Object had very high requirements for the surrounding environment.
She now also did not understand why she had been seen through so easily; clearly, those brutes from the War Church just now could not see through how she had passed the defensive line at all.
They did not even know how she had destroyed the Formation.
That was something she had completed after paying with quite a bit of flesh and blood, yet she was still being chased back.
It does not matter; as long as she finds that Item, and directly absorbs that Item as her own flesh and blood...
It is just a pity that the Red Moon Goddess cannot continue to descend.
Zhuguli felt that his direction was correct, because the footprints of the escapee were becoming more and more chaotic.
The opponent was clearly somewhat panicked and choosing paths blindly; for Zhuguli, he could even hear some sounds.
That is to say, the opponent was not far from him.
But why was the route the opponent was taking so strange?
It was as if they had made a detour and then continued to head toward the vicinity of the camp; if they continued to go down the mountain, the closest place might be the War Church's camp.
Could it be that the opponent was going to throw themselves into the net?
No, that is not it; was the opponent trying to find the corpse of that female infant?
Thinking of this, Zhuguli put in more effort; that female infant now only had bones left, the one looking for it must be a witch!
It might even be that witch from last time!
At this moment on the forum, that player who had received the Hidden Task had already started complaining on the forum.
Xin Jian: I really did nothing, I just can't log in anymore, can someone check what my current status is?
You'eryuan: I will notify the people online to help you check.
Fang 11: I checked, you are already cold, get ready to be reincarnated.

Xin Jian had originally intended to take the female infant's corpse back to the camp first, and then study it after logging off.
He did not expect that not long after he logged off, he would be unable to log back in.
Looking again at the image sent by the netizen, he was so angry he vomited blood.
He never imagined that he had actually become something like a black Zombie.
It was very clear that he had disconnected and died, and he would have to be reincarnated.
Xin Jian: Damn, I evolved!
Luolita to Xin Jian: You are really open-minded.
You'eryuan to Luolita: Why are you on the forum, not online at this time?
Luolita: No need, I am on a Train, going to sit on the Train for a whole week, what is the use of logging in, might as well sleep.
It seems Luolita no longer had any interest in communicating with Saina.
Of course, as a proud noble, Saina would also have no interest in communicating with Luolita.
Xin Jian: Does the War Church not notice my abnormality now? Only players noticed?
Fang 11: Rest assured, you cannot move at all, and you have no consciousness, you are just an ordinary corpse, you do not even have breath, you are definitely dead through and through.
Not to mention Xin Jian finding it inconceivable, even Chen Zhi found it inconceivable.
When this thing was in his hands, it did not make him turn into this color.
Of course, Chen Zhi knew that he was colorful and multi-hued, even his arms had different colors, so things of this color might indeed not be able to change.
After all, the status of this thing is definitely not as high as his; it can be said that as a deity, dealing with this kind of Seal Object is not difficult.
Even if he does not know anything.
As for the players, Chen Zhi really does not know what is going on.
He can only wait until the players catch the witch to say.
After replying to the players on the forum, Fang 11 called over a few players to stare at Xin Jian's corpse together.
"I remember he took some Hidden Task, is it the task item playing tricks?" Ye Ling asked in a low voice.
"The problem is that the task item is gone now, I just flipped through everything, I remember he posted an image last time, it was a child's skeleton, but now it is gone." Fang 11 flipped through it again, "How should we explain this thing? If people know our person took the witch's thing and therefore turned into this ghost appearance, will we be suspected by the NPCs?"
"How could they be that intelligent?" Ye Ling said unconvinced, "You have to know these people are just NPCs, maybe they will be even more flustered than us."
"Don't you underestimate the computing power of this game." Fang 11 had the air of someone who had been through it, "You didn't experience the great war before, these NPCs are each like living people, they don't even have the Uncanny Valley effect."
"What effect?" Ye Ling pushed Xin Jian, "Should we throw this guy out, or find someone to help?"
"Observe the situation first. In any case, it would be best if he could turn into a BOSS and drop items. If he can't turn into a BOSS, we still need to keep an eye on him; don't let anything go wrong."
As he spoke, horns began to blow in the camp.
The penetrating power of this sound was not strong; it could only alert the people in the camp.
"It's not the rhythm for a summon, it's the rhythm for an alert. Has someone broken in?" This was a Guard Team camp, and although it was near the foot of the mountain, it was still on the edge of Tana City; it hadn't reached the point where horns would be blown.
Not to mention that even if a fight really broke out, the opponent wouldn't think about charging the Guard Team camp, but would instead take the Municipal Building first.
"Someone broke in?" Liande, who was waiting in the camp to provide support, was stunned for a moment; someone had triggered the camp's Formation.
But no one had come in at all?
"Captain! Someone is using an Illusion!" Zhuguli, limping and covered in blood, rushed to the entrance, "Someone has broken into the camp!"
If Zhuguli still couldn't figure out why now, then he would be too stupid.
It was obvious that this witch was aiming for the skeleton of that Item.
"How is that possible?" This was the first time Liande had encountered a witch who could use an Illusion, because under normal circumstances, a Beauty God Believer would not provoke the War Church.
He immediately became alert and told everyone, "All of you, stop and don't move where you are."
Fang 11 and Yeling, who had just walked out of the barracks to observe, stopped at the entrance on the left and right, like two door gods.
They didn't want anyone to go in, but they also didn't want to become targets themselves.
No one wanted to go to jail with Brother Heart Sword.
However, they couldn't be vague about what they were supposed to do; after all, they couldn't be exposed.
Laina, holding the Seal Object, suddenly sobered up. She had been too focused on her own gains and losses along the way and had forgotten the most important thing.
If she had just been lurking in the city first, she could at least have ensured she wouldn't be caught.
But now that she had snuck in so blatantly, the probability of being discovered was quite high.
She could only stand still; she knew that if she moved, she would very likely be discovered.
After all, there were so many people here, and her props might not be able to guarantee that everyone would be deceived.
"Little Pig, you take some men and guard the gate." As he spoke, several guards lined up at the entrance.
"Wait for me, I'm going to get the Seal Object. It's just a common Illusion; did she really think she could provoke us inside the Bing Ying?" It was clear that Liande was truly furious.
The players of the Guard Team all stared at Liande, because for so long, they had never seen Liande take out a Seal Object.
When the barbarians' attacks were swift before, the War Church did not immediately take out a Seal Object.
Unexpectedly, there was a chance to see the true strength of the War Church this time.
At this moment, Laina's brain was turning even slower.
She had sacrificed too much to exchange for the lifting of the seal. Last time she could still use the barbarians, but this time she couldn't.
Her Qi and blood were no longer enough for her to think steadily. Not only had the pain overcome her reason, but she didn't even know if her current line of thinking was correct.
Can't let that guy get the Seal Object, can't!
She gritted her teeth; no, she still had to get that Item first.
Only that Item could allow her flesh and blood to regrow, and allow her to possess the ability to think.
So she charged directly at the two players acting as door gods.
A blood-stained dagger flashed by, and Fang 11 clearly saw the opponent's arm.
"Damn it!" Fang 11, startled, dodged to the side, and then saw a woman in a red dress dash in, followed by a howl.
That woman clearly didn't expect that the little Item she had been thinking about day and night had now become this appearance.
But there was no time left. Seeing Fang 11 and Yeling chasing in, she had no choice but to use this guy to repair her flesh and blood first.
A scarlet Formation appeared on the ground, and everything around seemed to be swallowed by an invisible force.
"My god, what kind of hidden plot is this..."
"Are we about to die?"
"Then why aren't we running?"
The two players looked at Laina, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at the scene, and scrambled out.
They had all suffered varying degrees of injury.
Their bodies were entangled with scarlet mycelium, as if they had grown a large piece of flesh.
Especially Fang 11; he had two more eyes on his face than others, it just didn't hurt much.
Yeling was a little better, only having an extra tumor on his arm; it looked scary, but it wasn't serious.
At least he could still see the road in front of him.
The other guards were so scared they were shaking like chaff; they didn't have the good psychological quality of the players, nor did everyone have the courage to face their own Mutated state.
The players, on the other hand, all had excellent psychological quality.
They were even prepared to go in and solve the problem.
It was as if the opponent wasn't some mysterious power, but a small matter that needed to be resolved.
Several players blocked the entrance. Besides Fang 11, who was silently picking up his eyeballs without even screaming, and Yeling, who still wanted to go in and take another look, there were several other players joining in the fun.
Especially Zhuguli, who was already prepared to rush in and finish off that small BOSS.
He had chased all the way and was just about to catch up, only to be tricked by this guy and end up covered in injuries.
Having wasted so much time, how could he endure it?
At worst, he would just sit in jail for another day; he had to take revenge for this grudge no matter what.
"Very good, the courage of these Xiahui People is indeed not low." Seeing this scene, Liande nodded with satisfaction. He clutched the Seal Object in his hand, preparing to go in and take a look.
As a Warrior, he was never afraid of death to begin with.
Everyone who had activated Warrior abilities would not fear death.
To them, death was just returning to the embrace of the gods. There were many who sacrificed for the War God, but every one of them could find rest.
It was just that he did not rush as fast as those players.
The doorway was already jammed by several players; although the barracks of the War Church were not small, the rooms only slept 20 people side by side.
There was no such setup as a second floor, so the rooms were not very large.
Now, more than half of the rooms were occupied by the battered Laina, and even if the remaining players saw the woman covered in blood and gore, they did not know where to start.
Because they could not find where the head was at all.
At this moment, Laina was no longer able to think normally, because she discovered that this body had a high rejection rate toward her.
Although she had long since activated the Formation in advance, the Formation seemed to have developed a problem.
Inside this body, there was only eerie baleful aura, and not even any excess flesh and blood.
It was as if this flesh and blood did not exist at all, but was instead aggregated from Spiritual Material.
"Ah, ahhh, ah!" Laina screamed in pain, as if every piece of flesh was trembling; she did not understand why this situation had occurred.
Clearly, that Item should have been properly sealed; why did it come to the War Church?
Clearly... she was the one who was supposed to be the Container for the goddess's descent.
Yes, she could still choose to let the goddess descend.
Dark clouds gathered; standing on the balcony, Andrew frowned as he looked at the moon in the sky.
At this time, the moon had already begun to turn slightly red; he dared not look any longer, so he returned inside the room and began to pray to the God of Calamity.
He did not know if doing this was useful, nor did he know if the God of Calamity liked his prayers.
But in his heart, he felt that what he was doing was right, otherwise he could not have become an Archbishop.
Great deity, leader of Calamity, she has appeared once again...
"Damn it!" The Seal Object in Liande's hand was thrown out; a red precious sword, as if it could find its own enemy, charged directly into the barracks.
"I already said it, everyone, don't move around! Little Pig, why are you also blocking the doorway?" Liande said angrily.
