Chapter 349: Outbreak

"Damn it, why are there professionals here!"

"It's that group of damned outlanders!"

"Run."

These mountain bandits discovered the players at this moment.

They did not hesitate at all and chose to flee.

They had long heard that those outlanders were subordinates recruited by the prince and possessed powerful strength.

This was not something they could handle.

Behind them, Ye Di had an excited expression on his face.

"They're trying to escape, hurry and catch up!"

"Kill!"

The players held their weapons and charged forward with howls.

The players who were able to join the Guard Team all had quite formidable strength.

Dealing with that group of mountain bandits, they held an absolute advantage.

What's more, the players did not need to worry about death and had no psychological burden, making them calmer during battle, which sometimes even stimulated stronger combat power.

The slaughter was one-sided.

The players charged up, and immediately a few mountain bandits fell behind and were Slayed by the players.

They showed no mercy when dealing with these mountain bandits.

After all, after finishing the Slay, they could apply to the Resident Committee to obtain Experience Value.

Every mountain bandit was a monster baby.

Moreover, killing the mountain bandits also allowed them to obtain their loot, so why not do it?

"Damn it, they run really fast." Ye Di hacked a mountain bandit to the ground with an annoyed expression on his face, "If this game had a taunt skill, we could attract the aggro value to ourselves, and those mountain bandits wouldn't run away."

When playing other games, it was rare for monsters to run away.

"This is different; this game emphasizes realism," a player said from the side.

They sat to the side, panting.

At this moment, Heiniu's broadsword was placed on a mountain bandit's neck; he did not Slay this mountain bandit but instead crippled him, as he was pondering some things.

Beside him, Jin Jun saw this scene, his eyes carrying a smile: "Heiniu, you wouldn't be unable to defeat this mountain bandit, would you? Let me help you."

As Jin Jun spoke, the long sword in his hand was about to pierce into the mountain bandit's neck.

Today, he had a conflict with Heiniu, so he thought about disgusting him by stealing his kill.

Bang!

However, his sword was deflected by Heiniu's long blade.

"Jin Jun, I have already subdued this mountain bandit; what are you trying to do?" Heiniu naturally knew Jin Jun's intentions.

But right now, Heiniu's thoughts were all focused on this group of mountain bandits.

This group of mountain bandits was very likely related to the Eye-Peeling Incident.

As long as this matter was not resolved, Xiaomeng's village would continue to have problems.

Jin Jun stood to the side and smiled: "I thought you couldn't kill him."

Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of hatred.

Things were already going poorly in reality, and being so frustrated in the game made Jin Jun even more unhappy.

"Hmph, he might be related to the plot progression of the Eye-Peeling Incident; I need to hand him over to the Manager for interrogation."

Heiniu said this and did not look at Jin Jun again.

……

On Tieshi Mountain.

Lin Chao looked at the thin, weak mountain bandit with a profound gaze: "What did you go to the village for?"

The mountain bandit trembled; he had already suffered a brutal beating before coming, and at this moment, he was even more fearful of Lin Chao.

"We were... going to rob," the mountain bandit said fearfully.

"Could it be... not for eye-peeling?"

"No... there wasn't..."

"Hmm?"

A powerful pressure descended upon the mountain bandit, and that mental-level suppression made him feel a sense of suffocation.

The fear on his face grew even greater, and other thoughts sprouted in his heart.

The prince... isn't he a piece of trash?

"I'll talk... I'll talk..." At this point, the mountain bandit could only beg for mercy.

Mountain bandits like them had no backbone at all and had not undergone any training.

"We listened to our leader's words to go find those Commoners to rob, and then peel their eyes."

"Who told your leader to do the eye-peeling?" Lin Chao asked.

The Eye-Peeling Incident had also appeared in the city; this was not something a mountain bandit leader could accomplish.

It was very obvious that there might be deeper Water behind this.

"It was... a very burly warrior who contacted the leader, and the leader was very respectful toward that person," the mountain bandit said tremblingly.

"His portrait?"

"No, his face was covered by a cloak, so I couldn't see clearly."

"Anything else?"

The mountain bandit was somewhat uneasy and thought hard, "No... nothing else. I've told you everything I know."

Crack!

The mountain bandit's neck twisted, and he died on the ground.

Lin Chao looked at the bandit's corpse and suddenly felt some regret: "If I had known, I would have let the players kill him; there would have been experience points."

However, the information obtained this time was still very little.

The mastermind behind the Eye-Peeling Incident had not yet been found.

"As there are more and more players, the amount of food is becoming increasingly insufficient. It seems I need to make the players farm, or perhaps, take Koya City..."

Koya City was originally Lin Chao's fief.

However, he had no real power, so it was just a decoration.

And to take back real power, the first thing to do was to take the City Lord Mansion, then build a good relationship with the Wealth Church.

But neither of these was easy to do.

With his current strength, it was still not enough.

"Continue to increase the number of players, rapidly improve strength, and reach Legendary..."

Lin Chao walked forward according to his established goals.

Legendary, deification, reaching the limit of this world, and then reaching the real world.

Regarding the real world, he also gradually had some understanding.

Koya City.

Morei looked at Beisha with a gloomy face: "You didn't make a deal with the Evil God to collect eyeballs for the Evil God, did you?"

Morei's face was filled with anger.

"How could that be? I am a noble; how could I make a deal with an Evil God?" Beisha showed a pitiful expression on her face, "Isn't this still for you?"

"For me?" Morei sneered.

As the City Lord, he had many subordinates, and even the dregs of society had his informants.

Beisha sending Bade to peel people's eyeballs naturally let Morei hear the rumors.

"I recently obtained a secret remedy. Using human eyeballs to make a potion, after taking it, can make my skin smoother and make my... tighter."

Beisha grabbed Morei's hand and placed it on her chest.

"Don't you feel that my skin has become better?"

Morei took a look: "It is indeed better than before."

"A group of lowly people, if they die, they die. Being able to make me more beautiful and also better serve you, those lowly people can be considered to have died for a worthy cause."

Morei hugged Beisha, and the anger in his eyes dissipated: "This kind of secret remedy of yours... seems to have a big market. I believe many noble ladies and wives would like it.

You write down the recipe..."

Morei stroked his chin, thinking about the market for this secret remedy.

"Of course, no problem. I'll write it for you right now," Beisha smiled.

The secret remedy was naturally fake; she could just make one up on the spot.

As for the skin becoming whiter and the body becoming sexier, that was just a reward obtained after pleasing a succubus.

Every female succubus is a true devil, a stunner in bed, loved by both men and women.

"Be clean and tidy with your actions. The Wealth Church is not a monolith. Their newly arrived Priest is a bit naive; don't let him discover it."

The Wealth Church in Koya City has a total of three Priests.

The three Priests are in charge of power in different fields.

The Head Priest, Morei was very familiar with, and cooperated with him very happily.

As for the newcomer, the Priest in charge of the Temple guards, he was at odds with the Head Priest.

Moreover, that Priest hated evil as if it were his enemy; if he were to discover Beisha peeling eyeballs, he might track them down.

By then, even if the Head Priest mediated, a large amount of charitable funds dedicated to the Goddess would still have to be handed over.

"Rest assured, that Priest hasn't been in Koya City for long and doesn't have many informants. I will collect the eyeballs immediately, don't worry."

"Hmm."

Five days later.

In Beisha's eyes, there was a ferocious smile.

"The Blood Holy Grail, finally filled!"

After a few days of effort, the Blood Holy Grail was filled by her.

Inside, there were dense eyeballs.

There were old people's, children's, everything one expects to find.

Among them, there was also her handsome, young manservant.

Although that young manservant was very handsome and his tongue was very flexible, serving her very well.

However, with the Blood Holy Grail filled and the Space Channel opened, she would be unable to stay in this world, but would instead be reincarnated as a succubus and follow that succubus lord to the Abyss.

Since that was the case, it was better to kill him and make him into a souvenir to carry with her.

"Great Echusi, the Blood Holy Grail is filled. Your army can head to the human world and use blood to dye this land red."

Beisha chanted the incantation.

Her body underwent a terrifying change, and blood gushed out from her mouth.

Her entire person gradually transformed into a succubus.

Inside the Blood Holy Grail, blood was also flowing continuously.

A terrifying thing... happened in Koya City.

On Tieshi Mountain, Lin Chao stood at the peak of the high mountain, his gaze looking toward the direction of Koya City.

The sky over the entire Koya City was a ghostly red.

It was as if the entire sky had been dyed red by blood.

Boom!

Countless spells exploded in the air.

Lin Chao saw a brilliant firework soar into the sky.

"His Highness, something has happened in Koya City." Shivana walked over, a look of worry on her face, "That was a succubus's innate spell just now... Light of the Radiant Sun; a High-Grade succubus is wreaking havoc in Koya City."

A High-Grade succubus suddenly appearing in Koya City was definitely a major event.

Moreover, even from this far away, Shivana could smell the scent of a Legendary Artifact.

That High-Grade demon was using a Legendary-level Dharma Artifact to wreak havoc in Koya City.

With Koya City's current strength, it was simply unable to resist.

"His Highness, there are many Commoners in the city. With the strength of the City Lord Mansion and the Church, they might not be able to hold off that succubus. I need to go back." Shivana had a strong sense of justice and was a righteous and kind person.

Of course, her righteousness and kindness were not pedantic, unlike a Holy Warrior.

"I think... what you should be protecting right now... should be Tieshi Mountain." Lin Chao spoke calmly.

"What?" Shivana was slightly stunned, and then, her expression changed drastically, "Demons?"

It could be seen that the Space Channel was emitting a thick demonic aura.

Inside it, it seemed as if many demons were about to break free and come through.

Shivana immediately understood that the incident in Koya City was no accident.

That succubus was related to the Space Channel.

"Oh no, the aura of a Legendary!" The worry on Shivana's face deepened.

She smelled the aura of a Legendary from within the Space Channel.

That was a Legendary.

A Legendary and a High-level Professional were on completely different levels.

A Legendary was a powerful combat force standing in this world.

Wasn't that Space Channel supposed to take a few more months to form?

How did it form already!

Shivana's face turned pale.

It was over.

And at this moment, countless players also discovered the anomaly of the Space Channel.

"What's going on?"

"Another monster siege?"

"Could it be the Abyss invasion that the Manager mentioned?"

"Demons, holy crap, could it really be demons!"

"Hit the jackpot, everyone don't stop me, I'm going to kill to my heart's content today, at least level up once."

Facing the demon invasion, the players were not afraid, but instead high-spirited.

And at this moment, Lin Chao's voice also resounded throughout Tieshi Mountain.

"Warriors from another space, the Abyss is invading our homeland, please pick up your swords and heroically slaughter those enemies!"

"Kill!"

"It really is the Abyss!"

"My great blade is already thirsty and impatient."

These players all stopped what they were doing.

Demons were the greatest reward.

Shivana could not understand Lin Chao's words. At this moment, she guarded Lin Chao's side: "His Highness, there is a Legendary demon here... Tieshi Mountain is finished, and Koya City is finished too. I must take you away now."

Shivana was very rational.

She was very reluctant.

However, staying here would not save Koya City either.

Now, the only thing she could do was to take His Highness the Prince and head to other cities to seek reinforcements.

Koya City's strength was simply unable to save itself.

And that Legendary weapon had also trapped Koya City's High-level Professionals. Right now, she was likely the only High-level Professional outside.

Leaving was the most rational course of action.

"Why leave? I... have waited for this day for a long time." Lin Chao's gaze was unexpectedly calm.

His words also left Shivana puzzled.

In her memory, Lin Chao's singing voice was not moving and had not received the favor of the God of Song, so he did not possess any powerful strength.

And at this moment, Lin Chao's reaction was inexplicable, and even... made her feel somewhat like a stranger.

"Your Highness?" Shivana called out softly.

At this moment, Lin Chao drew his long sword.

He was a Swordsman, and a High-Grade Swordsman at that.

He rarely took action.

The sword techniques he learned were also different from those of this world.

Ever since he was reincarnated and learned of the Manager System, Lin Chao had known his own positioning.

That was to be a support.

To pursue a support role, being a mage would actually be better.

But his talent for being a mage was very average; even with the help of his past life's experience, it would be difficult for him to grow quickly.

Therefore, he walked an alternative path of the Swordsman.

Or rather, he pioneered a brand-new professional path.

Magic Swordsman.

His sword techniques were also all self-created.

That was the foundation belonging to a Nine-Tier Main God.

Up to now, his two strongest methods were one for attack and one for support.

And at this moment, the most suitable one was naturally support.

If he killed all the demons, who would grant him experience?

Lin Chao drew his slender longsword, facing the Space Channel; his expression was very calm, and his hair tips lifted in the wind.

This posture made Shivana feel somewhat unfamiliar.

The sword worn by His Highness the Prince had also seemed quite flashy and without substance in her eyes, merely a decorative item.

However, as the Prince drew his sword, it gave her a feeling of being mysterious, powerful, and invincible.

Was the Prince also a professional?

And at this moment, Lin Chao's sword moved.

One Sword... Separating Worlds.

Weaken!

This sword was a sword of weakening.

He had to weaken the demons so that the players could quickly Slay them and reap the rewards!

The Space Channel also fully opened at this moment.

Thanks to Shen Zhongyuan for the tip!
