At the same time when Li Changhe allowed Yun Ting to take possession of his body, a fierce battle occurred near the old school's underground basement.
Naturally, the first to enter the old school grounds was the player, Yang Dong, known as [Young Taoist Green Moss].
He was the first to be directly teleported into the swamp gas-filled sewer, where an ordinary person would die within seconds.
Fortunately, as a player, he had participated in a [Plot Task] and obtained a [Status].
[Fire God's Blessing]
[Ignore High Temperature or Flames Below 3000 Degrees]
At the same time, he used [Flame Protection] and [Pure Breathing Technique].
He ignited the entire sewer, and this was his lifesaving combo.
If he could survive in the flames, then turn everything into flames! As for the short-term suffocation problem, leave it to the [Pure Breathing Technique].
Naturally, the resulting explosion also severely injured this high-level player.
He could ignore the high temperature and suffocation, but not the shockwave. The black windbreaker on his body, far beyond modern technology, was torn to shreds. Countless wounds were on his body.
But he managed to stay alive. For a [Player] with some resources, as long as they don't die instantly, they can survive.
After hesitatingly using the [High-Efficiency Healing Liquid], he began to calmly analyze.
[Evolution Game] won't put [Players] in deadly [Tasks]. So, it was impossible for [Evolution Game] to send him teleporting into this deadly place; there was only one other possibility.
"Ghost tricks? I was caught right from the start; was it that school gate?" Yang Dong clenched his teeth in anger.
Yes, there was something wrong with that school gate. With his experience and alertness, he was teleported away without any resistance. The ghost this time was very powerful!
If they eliminated him, the highest-level [Player], from the beginning, the rest would just be at the ghosts' mercy. Xiaojunzi's Demon Armor was not yet proficient and couldn't carry the team. [Unseen Red Dust] was suspicious and couldn't be trusted. The other two, [Earth Knight] and [Uncle Eight-direction] were too weak.
His thoughts raced, but his actions didn't stop.
Taking advantage of the oxygen-free survival effect of the [Immaculate Breathing Skill], he found a way out in the ruins. Unexpectedly, he discovered a crisscrossed network of tunnels. The tunnels were huge! They were even more extensive than the sewer and more resembled the moats of an ancient city.
This was unexpected, as [Great Wall] had gone through all the materials about the old school area.
They had even designed dozens of action routes to prevent any accidents. But they never mentioned any tunnels in the old Yanyun school area. Moreover, the mud and ash traces were only about four or five years old, so it couldn't be any undiscovered ancient tomb or city.
Although Yang Dong was very dissatisfied with those strategy groups' actions, he was sure of their abilities. If they didn't find the existence of these tunnels, then it must have been created by something else. For example... that ghost that could teleport [Players]!
After pondering for a moment, Yang Dong cautiously entered the tunnel. After groping for a few minutes, he arrived at the basement.
He encountered [Unseen Red Dust], who had come to investigate, and after a brief exchange, they concluded that the ghost in the basement had moved through the tunnels.
This made their expressions even more solemn. There have been supernatural missions in [Evolution Game], and [Players] have encountered quite a few. [Great Wall] had even deployed high-level players to hunt down many different species and divided their strength into four categories: Class A, B, C, and D.
Now, this situation, being able to leave the first discovered location and dig tunnels of this scale, made both veteran [Players] feel the alarm bells ringing in their minds.
"Class B? Or Class A?" [Unseen Red Dust]'s expression was a bit difficult: "Forgive my bluntness, but we can't handle this kind of thing."
"It's impossible for it to be a Class A Mysterious Species." Yang Dong's expression was solemn: "Class A Mysterious Species can only be [Mysterious Species Players] or those of very high levels. Otherwise, it would be those long-lived ghosts. The former couldn't have been in Yanyun ten years ago. The latter is even more impossible. They are all famous guys, and there are only thirteen in Hua Country. If they dare to go after one person, they will face the violent suppression of the entire Hua Country!"
"Then it must be Class B!" [Unseen Red Dust] analyzed: "Or maybe we're all wrong, and it's not a Mysterious Species. It could be a Fantasy Species or even a Spirit Monster Species. I've seen these two types fight before. They have the ability to make tunnels of this scale."
"Is there a difference? If they have the ability to teleport us at will, regardless of whether it's a Mysterious Species or a Fantasy Species, we won't benefit from it," Yang Dong shook his head: "Since we were placed in a passive position from the beginning, it means that we are already their targets. If it is a player, then it's fine. They know the situation outside. Even if our mission fails, and they escape, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly. I'm afraid if they..."
[Unseen Red Dust] nodded slightly; there were cases like this in Britain. Once, a British player triggered an [Avalon] plot task and inadvertently failed. The Fantasy Species that had originally been locked in the plot task escaped into the real world and didn't know about the existence of [Evolution Game]. As soon as they emerged, they claimed territory as their own, claiming it was for the sake of the King of Knights... At that time, the British government organization [Round Table] fought hard and destroyed a city just to subdue them.
If it weren't for the help of high-level players, maybe the damage would have been even greater. Of course, if that existence knew about [Evolution Game], it might have thought twice.
Later, they even cried out in surprise, "What? The Great Qing Dynasty has fallen?"
It became a joke among players from various countries on the [forum] for more than half a year.
This also alerted various governments. Some of the [Tasks] involving non-human existences were originally limited.
For example, they could not leave a certain place, could only hunt living beings under certain conditions, or could not even be seen by humans. This allowed these non-human existences to remain undiscovered by the general public until now.
But once a [Task] related to them failed, some of their restrictions would be lifted.
This made many large-scale [Plot Tasks] untouchable by various governments.
They were afraid that if they messed up, they would bring out some troublesome existences.
After gaining the advantages of [Evolution Game], every country's technology and mysterious forces had increased several times. It wasn't impossible to defeat those existences from myths. But... those existences didn't know that!
Once they came out and claimed territory as their kingdom, or worse, carried out a bloodbath in the city-
There would be no place to cry!
Even if those existences were killed afterward, the losses couldn't be made up for.
This was also the current dilemma for Yang Dong. He was already considering the possibility of mission failure. [Great Wall] was strong, but what did that ghost know and fear? If it escaped and wreaked havoc on Yanyun, it would be a disaster.
"Damn, after thinking about it, it's better to deal with it directly," Yang Dong's eyes grew fierce, as he could not back down when it came to the safety of the people.
"Catch up to it and kill it."
And so, Li Changhe and the others heard the commotion.
