Seeing that it was Su Mingan who became the ghost of Nine Gods, the other players were not too happy either.

Ideally, they would of course hope that players like Junko Iyuki or Makin, who are ranked in the 80s or 90s, would become the Ghost of Nine Gods, so that they would have a much easier time.

When other players chase them, compared with Su Mingan's pursuit of them, the pressure is completely different. In the former, they can walk around the streets lightly, or even gather a crowd to tease and kill them, but in the latter case... it will really become a farm royale.

If they encounter one, they can only run away.

And Ying's next words made their faces paler.

"Furthermore, the 'Ghost of the Nine Gods' will have a strength increase of 500%, while the other twelve people will have their strength suppressed by 50%. But after the eight altars are inscribed, this strength change will be removed. Of course, as

On the escaping side, you can also acquire some detection and escape skills."

After hearing this, the twelve players all looked solemn. Many of them glanced at Su Mingan secretly and leaned back unconsciously.

They had seen the world rankings. Before the start of the eighth world, Su Mingan's combat power had already reached 2,400. After being increased by five times, it was possible to reach 4,000...

"It seems that this dungeon encourages us to dodge and escape, so it gives us the skills to detect and escape. Anyone whose strength is increased five times will become very scary, but we who have been weakened by 50% are not at all

Possibly a head-on confrontation with the Nine God's Ghost." Sirius analyzed.

"We're here." At this moment, Ying's footsteps stopped.

They had walked through dirt roads and through layers of wheat fields, and arrived in front of a large processing factory. The chimney of this processing factory was steaming, and a lazy native dog was sleeping in front of the iron gate. At this time, a

An old man smoking a cigarette and a dark-skinned young man in coarse linen clothes were sitting around a cylindrical machine that puffed out air.

Su Mingan had seen the stone houses and farmland of the fourth tribe before, and thought it was a world background in the primitive era. But when he saw the industrial-era-like processing plants and steam engines in front of him, he felt that this was not the case.

The sense of fragmentation of the times seems to be extremely clear here.

Seeing thirteen players approaching, the old man blew out a smoke ring and stood up slowly.

"I am Lao Te, the farmer here." He said: "Twelve contestants, I will teach you these 'escape' skills."

"I am Meiyatu, a foreigner from a few years ago, working on a farm." The dark-skinned young man glanced at Su Mingan: "I will teach you the skills of 'hunting'."

"Hey? There are NPCs here?" Wang Chaoze muttered, and Sirius asked directly: "What does the black lamb mean? What is the Nine Gods?"

Listening to Sirius's question, Su Mingan was a little surprised, but found that many players seemed to have the same doubts.

...These people actually don’t even know what Jiu Shen means?

Su Mingan suddenly realized that he seemed to have a big information gap. He even knew that the black lamb was one of the three powers of the Baishen. According to the nursery rhyme sung by Changsheng, the other two powers of the Baishen were the black python and the

Black crow. I just don’t know what these three animals represent.

Lao Te's dry old face wrinkled slightly, and the old bark-like skin on his face was twisted into a ball: "...Don't ask too much, adventurers, and all the leaders. I just follow the gods left by the Bai God.

I came here to teach you my ability to 'escape', but other than that, I don't know the specific meaning of this competition."

Several players frowned.

At this time, with their high acumen, they also realized that these copies were not just simple games. They seemed to have world backgrounds and plots in them.

It seems that Lao Te and Meiya Tu came here just to complete the prerequisites for this copy of the game. The so-called "hunting" and "escape" related abilities they possess are also brought about by their own curses, and they did not come out of thin air.

That is to say, this game copy is not generated out of thin air, but has some basis.

On the way over, Su Mingan also saw some people moving around in the farm houses. Those seemed to be farm workers, probably locals doing night jobs. They had been living here for a long time.

"Come with me." Meiyatu glanced at Su Mingan.

Su Mingan left with Meiyatu.

After he left, the twelve players gathered together and began to learn skills from Lao Te.

"The curse on me has brought me some related abilities. After breaking it down, I can teach you five skills, and each of you can choose two to learn from them." Lao Te said.

After Lu heard this, he was not busy studying, but looked around and met the eyes of the other eleven people.

"Everyone!" he shouted loudly, with a loud voice: "Obviously, the twelve of us have become a big group. At present, we have a common goal and a common enemy."

Several other people looked at him, and they had no objections to Lu's behavior, which was similar to snatching the right to speak. Perhaps it was because Lu was really popular with passers-by.

"Our common goal is to finish carving the blood patterns on the eight altars and open the door to escape. And our common enemy, unfortunately, is the number one player who we don't want to be our enemy head-on." Lu said: "From the rules,

, any one of us will be defeated miserably if we meet the current No. 1 player, even if twelve people are in a group, it will be difficult. Therefore, as hiding and escaping parties, we need to avoid meeting the No. 1 player in action as much as possible... I think

, these skills are what allow us to escape. As a group, we should allocate these skills reasonably."

Lu has already seen that these five skills are the "Sensitive Perception" that can detect the movements of others within ten meters, the "Tracking Eye" that can see the location of other escapees, and the ability to communicate with a person within a thousand meters.

The "remote communication" used by players to communicate can forcibly transmit the "salvation hand" of a seriously injured player at the cost of reversing the progress of the altar, and the "hidden color" that blends with the color of the surrounding environment.

Everyone can only choose two of them, and "Tracking Eyes" and "Remote Communication" are obviously necessary skills for leaders.

Lu Shen took the lead in choosing these two skills that were obviously not conducive to individual escape, and arranged the distribution of skills with other players through communication.

"I have healing skills, so Hand of Redemption is more suitable." Junko Iyuki said.

"I want to choose agile perception and concealment. My career has a lot of movement. When necessary, I can deal with Su Mingan for a while. My leader is also good at concealment, so my life safety should be guaranteed." Wang Wanyu suggested.

"Isabella is my friend. I need a remote communication. Some of her skills must be used under my communication. She has mechanical hands that can temporarily create some reconnaissance machines that can be driven."

"Margaret, don't you have the skill of Archangel Wings? With the Tracking Eye, you should be able to locate the positions of all other Black Lamb players, and with remote communication, you can achieve a full-picture perspective effect..."

"Well, I propose..."

"I tend to……"

What is very gratifying is that the communication between the players present was simple and fast, and there was no quarrel over a skill at all. The scene was as harmonious as friends who have been together for several years, and even their respective live broadcast rooms were in harmony.

calm.

In Lu's live broadcast room, the audience was cheering them on.

[The advantage in this game is huge! One vs. twelve, even if the first player gets five times the bonus, it will be useless!]

[It would be okay if you were to fight against ordinary players, but these twelve players are all top 100 players. They are all human beings and have a lot of items in the bottom of the box. It is not easy to say that they will be killed easily.

possible.】

[As soon as the door opens, Su Ming'an's bonus strength will be reduced. It will be miserable at that time, and he will probably be killed directly.]

[Brother Lu, come on! Cheer you up! Lu Shen will become famous in one battle!]

[Lu’s reputation is long overdue. I have seen it all the way. Lu is strong and gentle to us. If the first player really loses, Lu, as the leader of the Black Lamb, really needs to be famous.

.Maybe there is still a possibility of ascending to the top?】

[I am very concerned about the plot hidden in this small dungeon... I especially like to delve into the background of these worlds, but before looking at the list, the players seemed to have no intention of digging deeper. 】

[It is already difficult to survive alone. There is only one winner in the eighth world. Who has the time to explore the plot of the world... Oh, except Su Ming'an. He is really so frank that I don't know what to say. It seems that he is still able to do it with ease until now.

.]

【……】

"Also, the terrifying space vibration skill of the first player, after being strengthened five times, is also a big trouble." Margaret, who has blond hair and looks like a saint in the temple, said: "If he activates this skill, in

Anyone who senses it nearby must move quickly. Don't stay still because of the progress of the altar. If you are caught, you will basically die."

"Yes, I know that you are all at the top of the world and have a strong desire to win. When you meet the number one player face to face, you will inevitably have a desire to challenge." Lu said gently: "But in this state.

The first player is not suitable for us to deal with head-on, and it is not shameful to escape temporarily. As long as everyone saves their lives and continues to carve nearby altars after he leaves, after carving eight altars, his strength will increase.

will be removed and we can achieve an even more proud victory."

He made it very clear. For them, this is indeed a team game. There are twelve altars scattered around. As long as eight altars are carved, the escape door can be opened, and Su Mingan will also be weakened by then. But in

Before this, they were just grasshoppers in a line. Whoever died would reduce their number, thus slowing down the process of carving the altar, and they would eventually be defeated one by one.

Wandering, hiding, dealing around, and continuing to carve the altar after the ghost is lured away, this is their correct strategy.

"There are some soul stones and other props in the farm. The fog is affecting people more and more. Before we carve the altar, we have to find soul stones, blood and pens... Ahem..." Yes

The player has started to cough.

"I don't know what kind of blood can be used to carve the altar, and I haven't given any hints, but animal blood should be fine. Let's try it first..."

They were talking, and the scene was harmonious and orderly, like a well-ordered meeting.

…

Some distance away from the players, Meiyatu took Su Mingan and stopped beside the corn field.

Meiyatu, like Lao Te, walked calmly in the black mist. When Su Mingan asked Meiyatu the reason, he said that because they did not have soul stones, they could only teach them at night, and the outbreak of their curse was still far away.

, it’s okay to walk through the night for an hour or two.

"I have four skills here, you choose two to learn." Meiyatu's words were very brief and he was a bit taciturn.

[NPC (Meiyatu) will teach you skills (alert reconnaissance), (fixed-point charge), (night vigilance), (blood seal teleportation), please choose two of the skills to learn. 】

…

[Alert Detection (White Level): Passive skill. When there are humans around you looking at you, you will get a direction prompt. 】

[Fixed-point charge (blue level): active skill. Select a target within the field of view and use it as the end point for rapid displacement. The displacement speed is related to the player's agility attribute points (currently 10 agility points, displacement speed 12m/second)

, the displacement time lasts up to five seconds, and the player can actively cancel the displacement. The cooling time is 30 seconds.]

[Night Vision (White Level): Passive skill. At night, you will continue to gain the "night vision" ability and obtain a vision effect similar to that during the day. 】
