Chapter 463: Chapter 448: Duel Between Old Grandmas (5000 Words ga Chapter)
The journalists were busy taking photos of CEO Yin, who had put on the VR headset. They wouldn’t miss such an excellent opportunity for a scoop!
The World Champion, Core Dynamics Club, has broken with the League of Dispute! Just imagining that headline was enough to excite the crowd of journalists.
The security guards in the Technology Museum couldn’t stop the journalists until another group of guards hurried into the museum.
“Step aside, please, comrades from the press, make so room!”
“Who’s that?”
“That’s Academician Li, dare you continue to take photos?”
A group of security personnel directly separated the journalists, who watched as the elderly Academician Li Hua made her way straight to the VR device that CEO Yin was using.
The journalists thought Academician Li Hua would ask CEO Yin to co out of the VR device; instead, the academician herself headed to a vacant VR device next to Yin.
“Does Academician Li have a new project to test?”
“No… it looks like the academician has also logged into ‘Holy Spirit’…”
“Perhaps it’s an elderly person trying out the new generation of gas?
A display function on a row of VR devices in the Technology Museum showed that CEO Yin was playing ‘Holy Spirit.’ Soon after Academician Li Hua put on the VR headset, a prompt popped up saying ‘Currently playing Holy Spirit.’
She was teaming up with CEO Yin!
The journalists were stunned… but they no longer dared to pick up their caras and press the shutter because they knew there were so things they couldn’t shoot if they wanted to keep their jobs!
Inside the ga, as soon as CEO Yin put on the headset, the scenery before his eyes vanished, replaced by the technology museum turned into a sea of fire.
When CEO Yin logged into ‘Holy Spirit’… he chose to log in on the spot in the Inner World! This brought him directly to the rear of the Obliterating Legion.
When CEO Yin tried to rush out of the ruined technology museum to look for Rosh’s whereabouts… the sound of a bullet being chambered rang by his ear.
CEO Yin turned his head and saw Grandma Li Hua holding her heavy shotgun at his side.
“Where did those monsters take the young girl?” Grandma Li Hua opened the shotgun’s breech to load it and stuffed two powerful demolition rounds in, then snapped it shut with a gesture.
“Academician Li, you…” CEO Yin quickly understood that Grandma Li Hua had appeared here using the sa thod.
That ant… Academician Li Hua was right next to him in the neighboring VR device, teaming up with him.
“Enough chit-chat, Mr. Lv, where is the little girl?”
Grandma Li Hua seed angry; seeing that CEO Yin couldn’t reply, she directly summoned her pet Qiuqiu and ordered it to track Rosh.
But Qiuqiu was a sabertooth tiger, not a hound.
Yet after sniffing a bandage Rosh had once used, which Grandma Li Hua gave to it, Qiuqiu actually barked like a real dog twice toward the ruins across the lake.
“Over there!” Grandma Li Hua led CEO Yin out of the ruins of the Technology Museum, all the way to an open area on the other side of the lake.
On their way there, CEO Yin and Grandma Li Hua encountered several attacks from soldiers of the Obliterating Legion. CEO Yin could only delay their attacks and then… run away.
This led to a large number of Obliterating Legion soldiers chasing after CEO Yin and Grandma Li Hua until… when CEO Yin reached this seemingly empty ground, those soldiers, as if afraid of sothing, slowly retreated.
“These bad doggies.” Grandma Li Hua didn’t care why the Obliterating Legion was afraid of this open ground.
In the center of the open area, she saw a group of chanical hounds surrounding the unconscious Rosh. anwhile, behind Rosh, the chanical hounds were constructing sothing resembling a portal.
“Be careful, Academician Li…” As a seasoned player, CEO Yin already had a feeling about what this scene, this situation, ant.
If the minor enemies chasing you suddenly vanish halfway through, there’s only one possibility: the player has stepped into the BOSS’s room!
This open ground was the domain of this area’s BOSS!
“Sacred Spirit? It seems like a Sacred Spirit specifically ca to rescue you, Rosh—did you make friends here?”
An aged voice suddenly rang out from amidst the chanical hounds, and the mont it did, a figure stepped out from among the group of chanical hounds.
Nan Feng could make out the figure—it was an exceptionally aged woman who held a long spear radiating a pale gray light in her hand. However, her eyes bore the marks of being scorched, rendering her completely blind, yet Nan Feng felt a nearly indescribable oppressive force, much like the pressure felt in Thorne’s presence.
‘Unknown Eternal, Level 71, Common Rank, Health Points: 100,000/100,000, Warning: This Eternal is extrely dangerous!’
Extrely dangerous?
Nan Feng had a foreboding feeling upon seeing the warning in the last line of text.
However, Grandma Li Hua wouldn’t check the data and warnings about so monster… She simply raised the heavy shotgun in her hands, took aim at the distant Eternal, and pulled the trigger.
The double-barreled shotgun fired two shots that resembled rocket-propelled grenades towards the mass of chanical hounds, but one of the chanical hounds suddenly leaped into the air, using its sharp tail to slice the two heavy grenades, detonating them on the spot.
The chanical hound was also caught in the blast and was instantly killed.
It was at that mont that Nan Feng finally saw that these chanical hounds didn’t have high health points.
‘Sin Seeking Hound, chanical Agglorate, Health Points: 3,000/3,000, Description: They are entities ford from the aggregation of micro-robots and are extrely fragile to Sacred Spirits, but in their hands, they are lethal weapons. Please be cautious.’
Agglorates… Micro-robots?
Nan Feng’s gaze t that of the distant Eternal when he saw this line of description.
If the Annihilation Legion ca from the Dark Tide Island to the Inside World… it’s understandable that the Inside World is very close to both Dark Tide Island and Biland Island.
But how did this Eternal get here? A teleportation beacon?
If the Eternals truly have the ability to teleport… why just transport her alone? Wouldn’t it be simpler to directly teleport an entire army?
Most importantly, this Eternal couldn’t just take Rosh away—that’s why she is constructing a portal here, and the materials for constructing the portal are those hounds!
These chanical hounds were gnawing on the structures on the ground, and even so weaker mbers of the Annihilation Legion would beco their fodder, which then transford into the energy needed to construct the portal.
“Professor Li… Please destroy those hounds as much as you can. I’ve already called for reinforcents through the world channel, and… do a favor.”
The only thod Nan Feng could think of now was to delay the construction of the portal by killing as many of the chanical hounds as possible!
This was the thod he ca up with for passing this instance.
“Qiuqiu, give a shout.”
Grandma Li Hua gently patted the rotund belly of her Dragon Vein Sabertooth Tiger, and then the tiger let out a roar as if it were the real thing!
The roar turned into a tangible sound wave that spread around, and soon more and more beasts joined in the roar of the Dragon Vein Sabertooth Tiger.
When Nan Feng looked up, he saw creatures resembling vultures appearing in the sky, and more than ten frost wolves, each two ters in length, sprung up beside Grandma Li Hua.
The awakening skill of the Beast King… Dark Beast Tide!
Grandma Li Hua’s awakening wasn’t considered particularly strong among Beast King players, with the strongest Beast King player in the Gray Eyes Association being able to summon hundreds of beasts in one go. Grandma Li Hua’s awakening, when counted, amounted to only seventy-five beasts ranging between level forty and fifty-five.
But it was enough for Grandma Li Hua.
“Little ones, let’s charge together.” In that mont, Grandma Li Hua finished loading her heavy shotgun, and the next second her figure vanished from Nan Feng’s side.
Stealth, another core skill of the Beast King.
The frost wolves charged towards the chanical hounds, and the Dragon Hawk Vultures circling the sky dove down. In an instant, the frost wolves devoured a chanical hound in one bite, and Qiuqiu led the charge, scattering the mass of chanical hounds.
So weak?
Nan Feng had been vigilant about the combat strength of these chanical hounds, but the Eternal labeled as extrely dangerous by the system didn’t seem so strong?
The thought had just surfaced in Director Yin’s mind when he noticed the scene before his eyes had turned to grayscale. Sohow, his health points had been depleted to nothing, leaving behind a tombstone.
Director Yin imdiately looked at the system prompt that popped up.
“You have been killed by the Eternal, Alma.”
A second ago? Director Yin was dumbfounded… he didn’t even see the opponent’s shooting motion!
Suddenly, the chanical hounds that Qiuqiu had crushed were changing their pupil color from deep blue to crimson red. As if commanded by soone, the originally clumsy hounds beca frighteningly agile.
These chanical hounds easily dodged the frost wolves’ attacks, taunting them with ghostly movents, using the blades on their tails to slash one wound after another on the frost wolves.
Just as the chanical hounds were about to tear apart Grandmother Li Hua’s beast pack… she suddenly appeared beside Alma with her huge shotgun and pulled the trigger.
The shotgun exploded beside the so-called Eternal nad Alma, and nurous tiny pellets swept over the Eternal, but her side
“Descendant of Devouring God, I hope you won’t disturb . It’s quite taxing to construct a one-way teleport beacon,” said the blurred figure of the Eternal, Alma. The shadow and illusion that Grandmother Li Hua shot… were rely projections.
The real Alma was behind Grandmother Li Hua now. Her long spear pressed against Grandmother Li Hua’s back, then she fired… the bullet pierced through Grandmother Li Hua’s chest, turning the elderly lady into a round, plump Qiuqiu tombstone.
Grandmother Li Hua had fallen… but Saints never die! The mont Grandmother Li Hua was defeated, her frost wolves grabbed Director Yin’s tombstone and burst into the midst of the chanical hounds. They threw the tombstone not more than a hundred ters from the unconscious Rosh.
There was only one chance!
“It’s not over yet!”
Grandmother Li Hua resurrected before Director Yin… and the instant she ca back to life, Qiuqiu was summoned back to her side. The Dragon Vein Sabertooth Tiger pounced toward the Eternal, Alma.
Within less than a second, Director Yin also chose to resurrect!
Upon resurrection, two status icons appeared above Director Yin’s head.
Thousand Hands Secret Technique! Throwing Enhancent!
Director Yin, as a player, knew he wasn’t skilled, but being unskilled didn’t an he couldn’t improve, nor did it an he wouldn’t look up strategies and practice to beco stronger.
And this Director Yin had been doing… finding strategies for the Street Fighter class on the Saints forum, practicing his profession’s combos!
Now, Director Yin didn’t need to pull off any flashy combos; he just had to make sure the only skill he had was accurately thrown!
Net Throwing! One of the core control skills of a Street Fighter!
In Director Yin’s hand appeared a net made of energy. The Street Fighter class could choose from many projectiles, and the net chosen by Director Yin was the kind that did not inflict damage.
The energy net was thrown directly by Director Yin, and like a giant hand with open fingers, it accurately caught Rosh in the center of the chanical hound swarm.
Got him!
Director Yin yanked his hand backward, and the unconscious Rosh was successfully pulled to his side.
In Director Yin’s team window, Grandmother Li Hua’s status bar turned to the ashen color of defeat once again.
Eternal Alma had killed Grandmother Li Hua for the second ti, but she didn’t touch Qiuqiu. Instead, she turned her gaze to Director Yin, who had just rescued Rosh.
“I’d love to continue playing with you, but I have a mission to accomplish,” said Eternal Alma as she moved toward Director Yin. At that mont, Director Yin instantly received three team invite requests.
“Player Caral requests to join your team”
“Player Black Pot Cooking at requests to join your team”
“Player Zhen Nanfeng requests to join your team”
Reinforcents had arrived! Only three people, but these three were undoubtedly the top players among the Saints at the current stage. Zhen Nanfeng, the lead player of Nan Feng’s Whistling, was a primary assassin… Therefore, when Director Yin looked toward the Eternal, a silver arc flashed behind her and stabbed directly toward her back.
Rosh had co to his senses by this ti, and Director Yin focused his attention on the person before him.
“Holy Spirit, please don’t interfere with this matter anymore; my betrayal has already been discovered… I no longer have the right to stay here,” Rosh said.
“Have you considered getting a new job?” The guild leader took out a contract from his backpack and put it in front of Rosh, “Social insurance and housing fund included, two days off per week, and a starting annual salary of five million, which is ten thousand Divine Power Crystals. Plus, there are other benefits. Surely, it’s better than the conditions at the Sanctuary of Creation, right?”
Rosh looked at the guild leader as he took out the contract, and suddenly couldn’t help but laugh.
Rosh’s smile was fleeting.
“There’s no possibility of that anymore, Holy Spirit, thank you.” Her voice sounded much softer than when she had kidnapped the guild leader for the first ti.
“Why is there no possibility?” The guild leader was about to say that reinforcents had already arrived, and that Eternal nad Alma couldn’t possibly have killed the three big shots on our side, could he?
But…
Almost simultaneously, three ssages popped up in the guild leader’s dialogue box.
‘Your teammate Zhen Nanfeng has fallen.’
‘Your teammate Black Pot’s Stewed at has fallen.’
‘Your teammate Caral has fallen.’
What was this, less than twenty seconds? That Eternal with only a hundred thousand hit points had killed the three most technically skilled Holy Spirits.
“Thorne has taught quite a few troubleso disciples again, does he really want to train a bunch of Devouring God descendants to kill all six of us?”
Alma’s voice rang out beside the guild leader; she held a spear in one hand, and the other had a deep sword wound visible to the bone, as well as so black marks on her cheek, presumably left by Caral and Black Pot’s Stewed at… at the cost of their lives.
“It’s ti to go back, Rosh.”
Alma activated a one-way teleportation matrix while speaking. This Eternal did not kill the guild leader because there was no value in doing so.
“But teacher…” Rosh seed to want to say sothing but it was already too late, the teleportation matrix was activated instantly, and the guild leader grabbed her dress hem in the last second but couldn’t keep her from leaving.
He could only watch helplessly as Rosh and a group of chanical hounds vanished into the azure teleportation matrix.
The flaming ruins around them suddenly disappeared at that mont, and the colossi of the Oblivion Legion fell one after another. The sky, once dyed red with flas, turned azure again.
‘The Abyss Hunt has concluded!’
This prompt popped up before the guild leader’s eyes… He didn’t have much to think about, remaining on his knees, staring blankly at the pale gray fabric he had torn from Rosh in his hands.
“What’s the deal with that ordinary monster? She killed in the blink of an eye.”
“…”
“Guild Master Yín, about Rosh… uh, forget I asked,” Black Pot’s Stewed at walked towards the guild leader and noticed his mood was a bit off.
It was only now that Mo Shigui, leading the main force, arrived sowhat belatedly. He approached the guild leader, still kneeling on the ground, and asked…
“Are you alright?” Mo Shigui asked.
“I’m fine, just thinking… the ga Divine Power is more interesting than I imagined,” the guild leader said, putting the item in his hand into his backpack, then turned to inquire about Mo Shigui’s situation, “Coach Song, how did the battle on your side go?”
“All the golems of the Oblivion Legion have been annihilated, and the invading enemies have been wiped out too; the wedding over at Xiao Wen’s place wasn’t disturbed at all, everything… went perfectly,” Mo Shigui said.
“That’s good,” the guild leader murmured, just as an official website update notification suddenly popped up: ‘The Sanctuary of Creation expansion is being actively updated, please look forward to it.’
“That’s good,” the guild leader repeated his previous words after reading the notification.
At that mont, Mo Shigui truly couldn’t tell what the guild leader was thinking.
But once again, the invasion of the Oblivion Legion ended in failure, and the forum was full of players celebrating the Special Equipnt they got from the Abyss Hunt. However, one post caught Mo Shigui’s attention…
It was ‘What to do if you’re captured by the Sanctuary of Creation? Urgent, waiting online.’ He didn’t pay too much attention to the post, as players pulsing with atomic energy had already started organizing a celebration in real life.
