After their vital parts were hit, these monsters only dissipated into wisps of smoke at once; The village chief, on the contrary, coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Because the mountain god’s power had been reduced by more than half, in addition to being irritated by Gu Wuji for having slain those monsters with ease, had finally made the village chief unable to hold on. He glared at Gu Wuji with animosity, “You’ll regret this! I will never die just like this. Just wait, I’ll certainly take my revenge……”
After having said this, the village chief’s body immediately collapsed on the ground, and decayed at a speed visible to the eye. Before anyone could react, his body had already turned into fly ash under everyone’s view.
The villagers were stupefied because of seeing such a surreal scene.
The players instantly felt that there was something off…… What about the village chief’s soul? Even if he unexpectedly died here, there should definitely be a trace of soul at this place! But it seems to have escaped now.
“The village chief’s house!” A player suddenly exclaimed upon having suddenly thought of something, “In the village chief’s house where that mountain god is enshrined, there’s a huge possibility that the village chief escaped had used something in there as a medium.”
After hearing this player’s words, the expression of the village chief’s wife, who had just regained clarity, greatly changed. The relief she initially felt turned into fear at this moment, “What’s to be done? There’s no one in the house now……”
“Isn’t this very bad?” Another player nervously commented, “The village chief is no longer a human. Once he’s able to seize this opportunity, he might be able to continue causing even more trouble to us……”
When such ghost boss wasn’t successfully solved, the whole team had nearly been wiped out afterwards, which some people here had experienced.
“No need to worry about that.” Gu Wuji calmly stated. His calm look immediately gave everyone great comfort, “Qi Yunxiu should already be waiting there at this moment. He’ll surely be able to handle this, so there’s no need to worry.”
It was only then did everyone get to know the reason why Qi Yunxiu wasn’t here. So, he actually went to wait in the village chief’s house? They originally thought that the other party was at their place of residence to safeguard Xiao Meng.
But after thinking about it again, Qi Yunxiu, this terrible man, might be more of a danger for Xiao Meng if he stayed with her. It was more appropriate to let him go and deal with dangerous people like the village chief…… As for the person he would really willingly protect, then that would perhaps be Gu Wuji alone.
For a while, everyone unexpectedly felt a bit of sympathy for the village chief. After all, the village chief, who had escaped, was nothing more than a remnant of a soul…… But the other person, Qi Yunxiu, is a man with a powerful ultimate offensive ability! That eye can have an affect on ghosts once uncovered.
In the next second, the ground suddenly quaked. A huge sound echoed from within the cave, as if something very large had slammed into the cave wall, which was accompanied by an inaudible yet very uncomfortable screech-like sound.
Gu Wuji immediately headed over to the cave. The other players, who had also realized that this might be the key to whether they would be able to leave this instance or not, were also unwilling to miss out on this important matter by being left behind, so they immediately followed after.
But at this point of time, an old man suddenly stepped forward, “That person…… who looks identical to the village chief’s son. His identity, might be…… the real mountain god.”
“What?” The players were momentarily shocked. In fact, after having experienced all those things before, they even doubted whether there really was a real mountain god in this instance.
“In the past, the mountain god had always blessed us. It was also through his protection that we were able to live a smooth and steady life here for many generations.” The old man emotionally explained, “Until that incident happened, where the great mountain god underwent a huge change. But in that person, I felt the aura I once felt in the mountain temple.…..”
“Moreover, during that time, due to a natural disaster that also happened not so long ago, the power of the great mountain god fell to it’s weakest point. This weakness was taken advantage of by the village chief in order to do that despicable deed.” Another elderly person disclosed very emotionally.
These people have personally experienced the past events, which was also the reason why they had a very clear understanding of the situation of the mountain god.
“So that’s what happened……” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but cast his gaze towards the cave, “The village chief took advantage of the weakening of the mountain god to use some sort of method, in order to forcibly gain control over the mountain god.”
The ceremony could’ve been said to have practically succeeded. However, the will of the mountain god that was originally about to be annihilated, took advantage of this opportunity to temporarily use the soul of the village chief’s son, before finally attaching itself to this bridal attire……The village chief’s contract, was better said to be that kind of power to be thoroughly polluted by his own evil thoughts.
“And now, is the moment for the other to completely take back his power. No wonder that mountain god was so afraid, it had encountered the real mountain god after all.” Gu Wuji whispered: “After all, a counterfeit will never be as good as the real deal.”
[Mainline task complete: Live in the village for seven days, and learn the truth about this village. ]
[Secondary task: Monitor your [Target] failed. After leaving the instance, the player will randomly come in contact with a ghost from a previous instance for a minute.]
Gu Wuji couldn’t help laugh in spite of this. He still remembered the secondary task, but in this kind of situation, in order to complete the mainline task and ensure that nothing unexpected happens, he could only ask Qi Yunxiu to stand guard at the village chief’s house.
It’s just a minute anyway. If he’s lucky, then he will just be reminiscing with an acquaintance.
If he’s unlucky, well, he’ll just think about it when the time comes.
Gu Wuji has always been this kind of person.
