MMORPG: Divine Monster Transmuter - Chapter 837
Chapter 837: The Lonely Ghosts Far in the North
Maigu City.
It was a place where bones were buried.
It was once a battlefield.
However, after the war was over, it only left behind a ruined, empty city.
Perhaps it was because many elites had left behind their ruins in this place, many people had decided to stay here.
Even then, there were not many people in this city since it was simply too terrifying. There were undead monsters everywhere. At night, they could hear all the cries of the deceased and the howls of the wolves.
Some of the players would wake up in the middle of the night only to see an undead floating right on top of them. That was simply too… exciting for most.
That was why even though there were plenty of ruins in this place, there were not many players here.
Most of the players who were here were too poor to be able to afford even a home in the normal cities. They would only move here when they had no choice left because staying here cost nothing. But of course, it also meant that there was no guarantee they would be safe.
When Jiang Feng and the others arrived, they could immediately smell the scent of something rotting in the air and the howling of the winds in their ears.
“Seriously! Even the Tianji Hall has fallen into disrepair!” He looked at the Tianji Hall once he walked out of the Tianji Gateway.
Other than the Tianji Gateway, only several walls were left of the Tianji Hall.
“I suggest that we come here in the morning. It is simply too dark. There are even the Undead at the Heaven Realm Greater Completion level coming out to hunt the living at night!” Lu Xiaofeng scanned their surroundings and said to Jiang Feng.
He could still escape if they were to encounter any powerful monsters since he was at the Heaven Realm Greater Completion level. But Jiang Feng and Yin Mei were somewhat weaker. They might be in trouble if they die here.
“If that is the case, let us look for Lin Xiaotong first,” Jiang Feng said to Feng Qingyang. “Senior, since you know about Lin Xiaotong, do you know where he is?”
“In a cemetery within the city. He is quite the legend. He is willing to guard a single tomb for love for all eternity!”
“Sounds like a tragic love story,” Yin Mei said.
“It is not exactly tragic. It is just love between two mortals. However, he loved too deeply and that changed everything,” Feng Qingyang said.
“Come on. Let’s go see this living legend then,” Jiang Feng asked Feng Qingyang about the direction toward Lin Xiaotong and then headed in a general direction.
“Keke… Fresh meat for the feast.” It was not long before an Undead at the level of Heaven Realm Five Stars rushed toward them.
Whoosh…!
Both Feng Qingyang and Ximen Chuixue sheathed their swords as the Undead disappeared into the air.
Both of them shared a glance, and they could see the fighting spirit within each other’s eyes.
“Such a quick attack!” Yin Mei could not help but applaud them.
Both Feng Qingyang and Ximen Chuixue were masters in using swords. Other players who use swords, including Jiang Feng, could not hope to compare to them.
While Jiang Feng had already mastered the way of the sword, he had yet to reach the level where the sword and he were one, and this referred to his real body. Meanwhile, Feng Qingyang and Ximen Chuixue had already reached that level.
Their swords felt like a natural extension of their own bodies. They could draw it out and pull it in at will without any discoordination.
Under the protection of three people at Heaven Realm Greater Completion, all the Undead monsters that they encountered were destroyed cleanly and decisively.
They reached a cemetery very quickly.
There were bones everywhere, and there were even more crows perching on the bones.
“You and I are both lonely ghosts, wearing the same masks of hypocrisy. You and she are both living in happiness, unable to see the sorrow of life. If I bring you to my home in the North, and let you see the snow in Winter, will you be able to love it too? The icy flower, withdrawing from the warmth of the sun…”
…
It was at this time he heard a song coming from some distance away.
Jiang Feng was stunned when he heard the song, and asked Feng Qingyang who was next to him, “Hm? He is from Earth too?”
“Yes, he received Zhenying’s inheritance. I heard that he played music back on Earth. He began to delve deeply into the inheritance for his lover. He is now a very powerful Runemaster. No Undead dares to approach him within a hundred meters. He is quite powerful!” Feng Qingyang said to Jiang Feng.
‘Zhenying?! Damn it, can it be that some of the famous people have visited the Great World of Tianji? Didn’t they say that Earth’s Player Slots have been banned until now? Those people can’t be that old, can they?’
And the name Zhenying? Feng Qingyang did not say his full name, or was it just someone with the same name?
Jiang Feng shook his head since he could understand it and then walked toward where the song was coming from.
Very quickly, he saw a young man sitting next to a tomb singing as he played the guitar. There was a silver-haired woman dancing on the tomb. He was quite familiar with the people from Planet Norm, so he did not even have to guess that she was from Planet Norm. However, her body was ethereal, that of a ghost.
The young man was not that old. He looked only about nineteen years old. But from his conversation with Feng Qingyang, he knew that the man was at least a hundred years old.
That meant that he should be one of the last groups of people who had received the Player Slots, and he did leave halfway through. If not, he would not know such a modern song and he would not have the guitar as well.
It seemed that there were plenty of hidden elites like Elder Qin on Earth!
Once he noticed Jiang Feng and the others, he put down the guitar in his hand and said plainly, “You shouldn’t have come here!”
“Where should we go? Where should we not go? Do you really love her, binding her like this?” Feng Qingyang knew Lin Xiaotong, and so he stepped toward him.
“She’s not dead!” Lin Xiaotong suddenly stood up and said in anger, “Old Feng, if it’s not because you helped her in the past, you would have paid for your transgressions with your life!”
“Sigh… Xiao Tong, enough. You have already done enough for her. Why must you torture yourself so?!” Feng Qingyang sighed.
“No! Not enough! It will never be enough! It’s my fault! If it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t have died here…”
Tears streamed down as Lin Xiaotong grabbed hold of the tomb and looked at the soul floating on it, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Jiang Feng did not say anything, but he merely summoned the Monster Transmutation System and began to draw from the lottery.
Lin Xiaotong would never leave if things did not change. There was only one thing he could do, and that was to use the Monster Transmutation System to find something that could help.
The Monster Transmutation System had a lottery system, so there must be something that he could get to help Lin Xiaotong.
“Draw!’
“Draw!”
…
He was drawing the lottery very quickly. Anytime he obtained something he would simply give it a quick glance and then directly put it into the Golden Dragon Ring.
“Give me something useful. Something that could console Lin Xiaotong,” Jiang Feng roared in his heart nervously.
He really had no way to deal with situations like Lin Xiaotong’s. Money, pills, friendship, all of them were useless. The only way was to find a way to settle the problem between him and his wife.
“Captain, what are you doing? Say something!” Yin Mei said anxiously, looking at Jiang Feng drenched in cold sweat as he looked down.
Ding. Tianji System Prompt: Congratulations, you have received a drop of Soulmeld Drop.
Soulmeld Drop: Special Item
Description: It can help a soul meld into a vessel. If it can be used in conjunction with the Spiritual Fleshwood, it can help the soul recreate its own body.
After spending 320,000, he finally managed to get something useful.
“Found it!” Jiang Feng called out happily.
“You surprised me! What did you find, Captain?” Yin Mei asked Jiang Feng curiously.
Jiang Feng did not care about her but simply walked toward Lin Xiaotong with a small bottle of liquid.
