Chapter 113 This is Gui!
Chapter 113 This is Gui!
puff--
The fervor, awe, and excitement on the faces of hundreds of players froze for a moment, then shattered.
What...what did he just say?
What's so embarrassing?
What is that?
We've already taken our pants off, and this is what you show us?
We were looking forward to witnessing history, to the world making a public announcement, to the earth shaking and the sky falling, but what are you doing here reminiscing?
Chen You was naturally unaware of the complex inner thoughts of those around him.
After scratching his cheek, he turned his gaze to the huge stone tablet next to the dungeon entrance.
The stone tablet is about two meters high and is made entirely of obsidian.
The great achievements of the Meng family ancestors are engraved on it in ancient script.
How did they overcome all difficulties to build Thousand Light City in the wilderness, and how did they resist demons and protect the region?
Upon seeing this, the players' spirits lifted once again.
"Look! He's started studying the stone tablet!"
"That's right! Wailing Valley has wooden signs, this place has stone tablets! The materials are different, so the methods of destruction must be different too!"
"He must be looking for structural weaknesses in the stone tablet, or the array nodes inscribed on it!"
"As expected of Boss Chen You, seemingly casual, yet every step he takes is deeply meaningful!"
The image that had just collapsed was rebuilt by players' imaginations, and it is even more unfathomable than before.
However, in Chen You's view...
That stone tablet engraved with ancient epics is nothing more than a high-definition backdrop.
On his retina, a semi-transparent interface, emitting a faint golden light, which only he could see, was floating in front of the stone tablet.
【Mall】
A dazzling array of products scrolled slowly past his eyes.
The last time he was in Wailing Valley, he was livestreamed by players outside. Although he didn't care, Li Guoan did.
At the post-battle debriefing meeting, Sun Feng, the head of the data team, clearly pointed out.
Maintaining mystery is one of the best forms of disguise.
The more methods you expose, the higher the risk of being targeted.
The Wailing Valley is full of vengeful spirits. There are special attack items available, so it doesn't make much difference whether you look or not, since you can guess what they are anyway.
But the Tomb of a Thousand Lights is different.
"So, if you can avoid being seen, try to avoid being seen."
As Chen You pondered this, his gaze quickly locked onto a new item in the online store list.
That was a new feature that he unlocked after he established his guild.
[Shielding Symbol: Price: 10 Gold Coins.]
[After use, it will block any form of spying skills or items for one hour.]
[Note: This does not apply to beings of a much higher rank than you.]
Ten gold coins.
Just to hide the process of farming dungeons.
If other players knew, they would probably call him an idiot.
But Chen You didn't hesitate and clicked to buy directly.
Almost immediately after making the purchase, Chen You chose to use it.
A barely perceptible stream of light flashed by and disappeared, merging into his body.
After doing all this, he turned his gaze away and stopped looking at the "stone tablet".
He turned around, took a step, and walked towards the dungeon entrance that exuded a chilling aura.
The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest pause.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of players, his figure vanished into the deep darkness.
"He's in! He's in!"
"He went alone! He really went solo!"
The situation on the stone platform was in an uproar again.
A mage player holding a crystal ball immediately shouted, "Quick! 'Eagle Eye' ready, lock onto him!"
A thief nearby also pulled a yellowed scroll from his pocket: "My 'Soul-Chasing Secret' is itching for a forcing release!"
Even more extravagantly, one wealthy player pulled out a palm-sized, oddly shaped bronze eyeball from his backpack.
"Get out of my way! Behold my rare item, the Eye of True Sight! Once it looks at you, you can't escape my surveillance, no matter where you run!"
In an instant, a dazzling array of skill lights and item glows lit up the stone platform, all rushing towards the dungeon entrance.
However, the next second.
"Holy crap! My crystal ball has gone black!"
"The scroll... it's on fire! Damn it, backlash! My blue screen is gone!"
"My Eye of Truth...it's bleeding tears!"
Exclamations and screams rose and fell.
Every player who attempted to peek inside the instance failed without exception.
The crowd fell into a deathly silence.
They finally realized that the man had never intended for them to see anything in the first place.
He came here not to perform, not to show off.
He was just there to "take care of business".
……
You have entered the instance: Tomb of a Thousand Lights
[Warning: The dead in the tombs dislike the presence of the living; your life force is continuously attracting slumbering spirits.]
Unlike the howling winds of Wailing Valley, the interior of the Tomb of a Thousand Lights is a suffocating silence.
This is a wide underground passage with walls made of huge piles of bluestone, covered with dried moss.
Every few tens of meters, a "long-lasting stone" emitting a faint green light is embedded in the wall, casting long and thin shadows, like ghosts.
The air was filled with a strange smell of dust and decay, and it was icy cold.
Chen You did not rush forward.
He calmly opened his attribute panel.
His finger lightly tapped the title field, and in the pop-up list, a title exuding an ominous black aura lay there quietly.
[The Ghost's Sorrow]
[Effect: When wearing this title, you will emanate an aura that causes all spirits, undead, and ghostly creatures to tremble.]
When facing you, all their attributes will be greatly reduced, and there is a very high probability that they will fall into a "fear" state, giving up resistance and surrendering.
This was the special, unrated reward given by the system after I used hundreds of exorcism talismans to "physically exorcise" the entire cemetery in the Tranquil Cemetery.
For a long time, due to the lack of a suitable application scenario, this title had been left to gather dust in a corner.
But today, here, it seems to be the stage where it shines.
"Put it on."
A thought crossed my mind.
[Title Equipped: Demon's Bane]
An invisible wave emanated from Chen You and spread out instantly.
That wasn't spiritual power, nor was it imposing aura; rather, it was a more primal, almost primal, aura of a "natural enemy" that seemed to originate from the soul level.
It seemed even colder inside the passageway.
"Click...click..."
From the darkness not far ahead, came the sound of bones grinding together.
A dozen or so Skeleton Soldiers LV20, each wielding a rusted longsword and with two points of ghostly blue soul fire burning in their eye sockets, staggered back to their feet from the pile of bones scattered on the ground.
Their attack power may not be high, but they are numerous and fearless.
However, when the group of skeletal soldiers turned their empty eye sockets toward Chen You...
The fire of their souls flickered violently without warning, like a candle flame in a storm, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
The swords in their hands fell to the ground with a clang.
Immediately afterward, under Chen You's astonished gaze, these dozen or so skeletal soldiers made a move that made all the players outside want to delete their accounts on the spot.
They... knelt down.
It wasn't kneeling on one knee, but prostrating itself on the ground, its entire skeleton lying on the cold stone bricks, its skull pressed tightly against the ground, trembling.
Their posture was as if they were worshipping their supreme king.
"..."
Chen You raised an eyebrow.
"This effect... is even better than I expected."
