Weird Deep-sea Game, I Can Fish Without Limit - Chapter 86

  Chapter 86 The first day of the third cycle, setting fire

  Player World, July 15.

  The sky gradually darkened, and it was already night.

  In the past few days, except for necessary going out, Li Feng stayed at home all the time.

   Study the 10 pages of Faranell’s notes, and the mutilated Tome of Demons.

  Because of his talent for quick comprehension and basic alchemy knowledge, it was much easier for Li Feng to read those 10 pages of notes than last time.

   At least it’s no longer like reading a bible.

  During this process, Li Feng was also surprised to find out.

  Falanier’s notes that Susan has seen are most likely the 10 pages in his hand.

  Because Li Feng found the alchemy potion that can turn Susan into a deformed meat tree on it.

   And think of Susan, who is an employee of the extraordinary material trading market.

  It is much easier for her to obtain extraordinary materials, even taboo materials, than ordinary people, so it is not difficult to understand.

   But the question arises, is there a reason for Susan to be promoted to Extraordinary?

  As players who have experienced the current era, as long as they can live, most people already want to lie flat.

   Besides, for Susan, there are huge risks and costs in her way of promotion.

  She possesses the gift of wisdom, even if she walks the path of a mortal, she can obviously live well in the game world.

  Then what is the reason that drove her to pay a huge price and be promoted to Transcendence?

  Li Feng asked himself, if he hadn’t met a hunter from the abyss camp, he would have had no choice but to pay the price and drink the Moon Shadow Potion, otherwise he wouldn’t have worked so hard.

   Moreover, Li Feng found these 10 pages of notes on the Misty.

  The Misty is the ship of the Hidden Pirates, and Susan happened to know the two pirates.

  So, behind all this, is there some existential guidance and intervention.

  Like the devil in the sea, using the power of filth to affect the rats and corpses on the island of storm.

   Is there something there that uses filthy power to seduce the people on the island to achieve their own goals?

  Will this existence be a demon, or in other words, will he have the same purpose as the demon?

   Found some clues, but brought a bigger mystery. Thinking about entering the game world and facing the zombies made by demons, Li Feng felt overwhelmed.

  But besides the mystery, Li Feng solved a thing that has been bothering him.

   It is the small round silver mirror.

   This silver mirror was obtained by Li Feng from the Hidden Pirates.

  According to what 0344 in the chat channel said at the time, this thing is a relic, and its function is to control people’s spirits.

  The two hidden pirates escaped from the prison in the Ring of the Earth precisely because they kept this silver mirror as a backhand.

  But since the silver mirror came into Li Feng’s hands, he has not researched why it is.

  Prying Eye’s explanation for it was very vague, and Li Feng himself has been busy with other things, so he ignored it.

   After a few days of free time, he devoted himself to studying the broken book of demons, which led him to find the clues of this silver mirror.

  According to the book of demons, this mirror is a magic weapon made by the tree elves in the north with a blessing ceremony.

  In the endless sea, the tree elf race has a much longer history than the human race, and their war with demons lasted longer.

  During the war, the tree elves summed up and created many sharp weapons against demons.

  This silver mirror is one of them.

   This mirror is called the mirror of the tree elf, if you don’t understand its history, or only see its function.

  It is very possible to mistake it for some kind of relic that affects the mind of others.

  The mirror of the tree elf was endowed with two abilities by the tree elf when it was manufactured.

  One is to sacrifice part of one’s soul to gain the ability to manipulate the spirit of others. This “other” also includes powerful demons.

   This ability is very special, it does not directly cause damage to demons.

   But it can mentally control demons, and tactically, there is a lot of room for maneuvering.

  The second ability is to directly participate in the battle. The mirror of the tree elf will absorb the spirit of the demon, so that the demon cannot exert his maximum ability.

  ‘Perhaps… this mirror can be used to deal with that thing deep in the cemetery in Wind’s Rest. ‘

  In the game world, all the corpses in the cemetery of Wind’s Rest suddenly stood up and became zombies to attack humans.

   But Li Feng felt that there must be something controlling them behind them.

   Li Feng remembered that when he was in the cemetery, he heard roars in the depths of the cemetery.

  That roar made him temporarily lose his memory and sanity.

  Combining that zombies are related to mutated mice, and mutated mice are related to demons, it is very likely that the one controlling the zombies is the demon still hiding deep in the cemetery.

  Looking at the broken book of demons in his hand, it is a pity that the specific power of the mirror of the Mingshu elves is not written on this fragment.

   Li Feng hesitated in his heart, if it was just an itchy thing, it would be meaningless.

‘probably not. ‘

   Li Feng shook his head suddenly. If it was just something useless, how could the devil record it in his book?

  Looking at the clock on the wall, it is now 10:50 in the evening.

   The second cycle of the player world is coming to an end, and after more than an hour, all surviving players will return to the game.

  A few days ago, just two days after Li Feng killed Susan, Huang Yanyan visited his house.

  Huang Yanyan brought a lot of fruit to Li Feng, and Li Feng cooked a few dishes for her.

  During this period, Huang Yanyan suddenly asked about the safety of Li Feng’s community, and asked if his home had anti-theft facilities, and inexplicably asked him to pay more attention to safety.

  From Huang Yanyan’s flickering words and her heavy dark circles, Li Feng understood that the police had already learned some inside information from Susan’s family.

  This is probably the best outcome.

   “Tick tock, tick tock.”

  The second hand of the clock on the wall kept turning, and when the hour hand was facing 11 o’clock, a system announcement appeared in front of all players.

  【The second cycle of the game is coming to an end, and the choice of faction begins. 】

  【Choose your faction, Lawful/Abyss】

  Looking at the system options in front of him, Li Feng chose Lawful without much hesitation.

  He already has dual occupations, so there is no need to take the risk of choosing the abyss camp.

  【You have chosen the lawful camp】

  【You get the permanent blessing of “firm mind”, and you have a chance to resist and dispel the whispers of evil gods】

   Thinking of other players, Li Feng opened the chat channel.

  *: “Have you all chosen sides?”

  *: “Well, only players who have completed three missions can choose.”

  *: “I’m going, it feels like it’s time for us to part ways.”

  *: “It must be lawful. There are so many weird things in the game world. If lawful things can survive, the abyss really can’t help it.”

  *: “Yes, the permanent curse of ‘Edge of Madness’ alone is not something ordinary people can bear.”

  *: “All of you are fine, there are still others to choose, for those like me who have not completed the task, they can only lie flat.”

  *: “I’m really curious how many of us will choose the abyss.”

  *: “There shouldn’t be many people, after all, I think players are normal people.”

   While the players were still discussing frantically, the system announcement appeared again.

  【Announcement, αK49 Blue Star 22701 batch of players currently surviving: 770】

  【Number of players in optional camp: 650 people】

  【The number of people who choose the lawful camp: 432 people】

  【The number of people who choose the abyss camp: 218 people】

  【The third cycle of the game will start after 50 minutes】

  【I wish you a happy game】

  *: “What? So many people choose the abyss?”

  *: “Are they all crazy?”

  *: “Wait, why didn’t the system change the division of chat channels? Don’t chat channels have camp distinctions?”

   Not only the other players, but Li Feng was taken aback when he saw the number of people who had made far-reaching choices.

  It seems that dual careers are really attractive, even if they are cursed, it is nothing.

  However, Li Feng thought about it again, yes, didn’t he kill Susan because of his dual occupations?

   Without the hunter’s damage dodging, shooting bonus, and the corrupted parasites he got by chance, he is really not sure about dealing with the old player Susan.

  Thinking about it this way, the 218 players who chose the abyss are not incomprehensible.

  Li Feng went to the chat channel while thinking. It was rare, there was no news in the chat channel.

   It seems that everyone is very cautious.

  Don’t think about these anymore, it’s already 11:25, Li Feng did some exercises to stretch his muscles and bones.

   Then he started adjusting the lights in the bedroom.

  When he left the game world, he was in a dark outdoor.

   But there’s a party going on in the inner city, the lights are bright, and there’s fireworks in the sky, so you won’t be out of sight.

  So Li Feng adjusted the light in the bedroom to the same brightness as that over there, and then he lay on the bed and waited for crossing.

  As the time passes by, the system starts to prompt the countdown of the last ten seconds.

  【23:59:50】

  【23:59:51】

  …

  【23:59:59】

   “Boom!”

  The grand fireworks bloomed above the head, and the disgusting stench hit the face.

   Li Feng looked around, he traveled back again.

   “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

  As if to show the wealth and status of Storm Island to the outside world, the fireworks in the inner city are blooming in the sky as if free of money.

  The high-profile sound and fireworks attracted the zombies in the cemetery. They gave up Li Feng who was walking in the shadows, and all turned to the inner city.

  Li Feng, who was temporarily safe, was not idle, he climbed to the roof as fast as he could.

  The criss-crossing roads have been occupied by zombies, so he walked on the roof.

   Fortunately, the city of Wind’s Rest is densely populated and houses are also densely populated.

  The eaves of the outer city are next to the eaves, and Li Feng is climbing all the way, which is not too difficult.

   Occasionally, when he encountered a house with a large gap, he used the shadow to shuttle, and soon, Li Feng had already arrived outside the inner city.

  Because most of the people living in the inner city of Wind’s Rest are nobles, in order to ensure their quality of life, during the construction of Wind’s Rest, the inner and outer cities were separated by walls and tall buildings.

   Only two city gates, one front and one back, were left for people to pass through.

   Now, those zombies were attracted, and quickly passed the wide main road, flocking to the wide square in front of the gate of the inner city.

  The screams in his ears became louder and louder, and Li Feng, who had been shuttled on the roof, was almost approaching the gate of the inner city.

  He stood on a high place and looked at the direction of the city gate. The zombies who arrived first caught the soldiers guarding the gate by surprise, and had already broken through the city gate and entered the inner city to slaughter.

  But after the generals and soldiers in charge of guarding the gate realized the situation, they immediately closed the city gate, which quickly played a defensive role.

   However, several generations of people from Wind’s Rest were buried in the cemetery, and their bones were like mountains. Now they have been transformed into zombies, and the number is extremely large.

  The city gate is closed and the road is blocked. Now, all the zombies are piled up at the city gate.

  They slapped the city gate, stacked together, and the higher the base, the more the city was besieged by zombies.

   Not only that, there are more zombies coming from the cemetery like a tide.

  Li Feng knew that the gate of the city would not be able to support it before long.

  Looking around, Li Feng found a suitable three-story building next to the square in front of the city gate.

  There is a large terrace on the roof of this small building, which is exactly what Li Feng wanted.

  He came to the high terrace with the fastest speed, then took it out from the backpack, and prepared wood, gasoline, and a lighter in the player world.

  The experience of his previous life told Li Feng that the best way to siege a city is not to use guns, but to use fire.

   “Boom!”

  With the help of gasoline, the dry wood is ignited immediately.

  After that, Li Feng threw the burning wood at the zombies in the square.

  Once burned by the fire, those zombies would instinctively run around, and the fire spread across the square in an instant.

  In the middle of Li Feng’s fight against the zombies, suddenly, from the direction of the inner city, a bright light like the light of a knife came out from above the city gate.

   As soon as the light appeared, it slashed at the zombies under the city gate.

  The next moment, the zombies struck by the light fell like rain.

  Looking at this ray of light, Li Feng thought of the Holy Inquisitor. He had seen Benjamin use a similar spell.

  Through the dark night, Li Feng looked intently at the top of the city gate.

   It turned out that it was the kestrel that slashed at the zombie with light just now.

  Maybe it was because Li Feng had sent him a message, so Kestrel appeared above the city gate first compared to others.

  Same as Li Feng, Kestrel also noticed a fire on the roof of the house not far away after seeing the zombies on fire below.

   At this time, he also noticed Li Feng.

  When he first received the golden dandelion from Li Feng, Kestrel was still dubious.

  Tonight, the ambassadors of the kingdom, high-level representatives of the Ring of the Earth, and diplomats from other large islands all gathered in Storm’s End to celebrate Jory Fair.

   Li Feng’s news is too exaggerated. Zombies haven’t appeared in the world for a long time.

   And today is such an important day, the news has not been confirmed, and Kestrel dare not announce it rashly.

  He could only greet his subordinates in advance, and then find an opportunity to get away from the banquet, wanting to rush to the cemetery to confirm for himself.

  If what Li Feng said is true, he will inform his subordinates to announce the news, and it will not be too late to organize a battle.

  But when the Kestrel made arrangements and arrived at the gate of the inner city, they encountered the initial commotion.

  Finding that the situation was wrong, he immediately had the city gate closed, and then, together with the guards guarding the city, killed the zombies that had entered the inner city.

  However, by this time, Kestrel hadn’t realized the seriousness of the problem.

  He thought that just like the records in the book, only a few or a dozen zombies mutated and ran out of the cemetery to attack humans.

  Until he came to the gate of the city, he heard countless knocks on the door, which were not so loud.

  It was only then that Kestrel realized that the group of zombies mentioned in Li Feng’s message was really a group of zombies without exaggeration.

  Finally, when Kestrel delivered the news of the challenge to his subordinates, and then went up to the city gate to look down, he was instantly dumbfounded again.

  In the bright square right now, there are not a dozen or hundreds of zombies, but tens of thousands of them.

   They came from the cemetery like a tide, one after another.

  Among these zombies, Kestrel can see corpses of various degrees of corruption, some are relatively intact, and some have only a skeleton left.

   Watching this scene, Kestrel was completely stunned.

  He originally thought it was just a small accident that would embarrass Governor Fair, but it turned into a catastrophe that could directly kill everyone in the city.

   Kestrel felt that he had experienced hundreds of battles, but when he saw this scene, his brain went blank for an instant, until he could only force himself to calm down.

  But when Kestrel himself didn’t know what to do, he suddenly saw a fire in the crowd of zombies.

  The rapidly spreading fire actually blocked the zombies’ originally extremely consistent attack.

  ’He actually thought of Huo Gong, but who would it be in such a critical moment? ‘

  The shocked Kestrel immediately searched for the source of the fire.

   Soon, in the dark night, on the roof of a small building, he saw Li Feng who was setting fire.
