Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 656
Chapter 656 Blood Earth Soul
When Xu You saw the pair of white and empty eyes, his heart beat violently twice. He suddenly saw a pair of eyes in the dark space. Those who weren’t prepared would be scared half to death. It was already very rare for Xu You to remain calm and wait for the next scene.
Three seconds later, a very comfortable feeling suddenly struck Xu You. It was as if his entire body was extremely tired, but he suddenly felt comfortable lying on a soft bed. Xu You enjoyed it and closed his eyes. When this feeling disappeared and he opened his eyes again, the scene he saw changed again.
The clear sky, the flying birds, the boundless grasslands, the galloping horses … What a clean and vast place!
Standing up slowly from the grass, everything Xu You saw was so beautiful. Was this place really called the Nightmare of Death? Why don’t we change it to “Dream of Hope”?
But just as Xu You had this thought, the beautiful scenery in front of him began to change. The sky quickly changed into dark clouds that were as black as ink, covering the entire sky in the blink of an eye. The originally pure and bright space became dark.
Afterwards, lightning as thick as a traveling dragon began to descend, causing the sky to be covered in wounds and incomparably ferocious. Immediately after, thunder rang out and heavy rain poured down. This sudden change caused Xu You, who was standing in the middle of the grassland, to frown.
However, these were normal natural changes, but what happened next was the process of dreams turning into nightmares.
All the flying beasts in the sky suddenly disappeared. The oxen, horses, and wild beasts on the grassland screamed in unison. Their voices were like the cries of a devil, extremely ear-piercing. Then, all of these wild beasts exploded in an instant. It was as if they were equipped with explosive mines. Blood blossomed, fell, and finally landed on the grassland.
As a result, the originally green grass started to change color. Scarlet blood quickly dyed the entire grassland dark red. The green grass gradually withered and disappeared. The pure grassland suddenly became a dead land. The black sky, the red earth, and Xu You was the only one left standing alone in such a large place.
If that was all, it was not enough for Xu You to feel fear. At most, he could only sigh at the spectacular changes. However, when the shadows appeared on the red ground and became clear from the blur, Xu You took a cold breath and quickly pulled out his dragon fangs. He put on a defensive posture, but the slightly trembling dragon fangs reflected the fear in Xu You’s heart.
[Blood Earth Soul], This is the name of these shadows, In addition to names, there is no description, These shadows were actually humans, orcs, elves, and the other eight races of the continent. The reason why Xu You was frightened was not because these people were monsters, horrible and disgusting, but because these people’s expressions were dull and their eyes were empty. They walked slowly beside Xu You without saying a word, completely ignoring Xu You. This kind of feeling was extremely chilling.
One had to know that Xu You had already entered and exited many terrifying scenes. Monsters that looked terrifying like zombies, sinister and ferocious environments, and so on, could not frighten Xu You. However, some strange and strange scenes created an atmosphere that made Xu You extremely scared. This was because it was not visual terror, but fear in his heart.
The dense soul of the Blood Earth was not terrifying, nor was this vast space. However, the combination of the two caused Xu You to feel a sense of fear.
The entire environment was quiet and lifeless. Seeing the Blood Earth Spirit wandering around like a ghost, Xu You attacked. This was not Xu You’s panicked reaction. On the contrary, this was Xu You’s action after calm thinking.
Although there was fear, this did not mean that Xu You would lose his calm. Research had found that a certain degree of fear would make people’s judgments and actions clearer and more sensitive, and their attention more focused. This was exactly what Xu You was doing.
However, Xu You’s attack was futile. The Blood Earth Spirit was like a ghost in a movie. Dragon Fang pierced through these “ghosts”. Why was this the ghost in a movie? Because in the game, ghosts were also a type of monster that could be cut down and killed.
Seeing this, Xu You secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This was his actions after thinking about it. Naturally, he had a purpose. The purpose was to verify whether these zombie-like Blood Earth souls were real or not, and it turned out that they weren’t.
“So this is all fake. Is this still an illusion? An illusion within an illusion?” Xu You came to a paradoxical conclusion in his heart. If the initial grey world was an illusion and the black world was also an illusion, then this was an illusion within an illusion.
Of course, Xu You was not 100% sure, because the black room might not be an illusion, but a real place. Then the conclusion would be that both the gray world and the current place could be caused by that pair of puzzled eyes.
“If that’s the case, we’ll have to leave this place first.” After Xu You sorted out his thoughts, his eyes became much broader.
Putting away his dragon fangs, Xu You started searching this land that might be called the “Blood Ground”. Because those “ghosts” were called the “Blood Ground Souls”, then this place was very likely the Blood Ground. Of course, the name of this space must be “Nightmare of Death”.
But soon, some Blood Earth souls told Xu You that they weren’t “ghosts”!
Just as Xu You was walking towards a very strange and abrupt withered tree, a Blood Earth Spirit that was passing by Xu You suddenly launched an attack at Xu You. He opened his sharp-fanged mouth and gritted at Xu You. Xu You reacted extremely quickly, kicking him, and he ended up hitting him!
“It’s an entity?” A question popped up in Xu You’s mind, but he didn’t stop moving. He pulled out his Dragon Fang and slashed towards the Blood Earth Soul again. That physical Blood Earth Soul didn’t have much blood, only 30,000 HP. Xu You slashed it two or three times to trigger a critical strike and killed it.
However, this wasn’t the end yet. After the physical Blood Earth soul died, some of the Blood Earth souls around the withered tree started to stir. They let out ear-piercing and unpleasant cries, and then all ran towards Xu You.
Seeing this, not only was Xu You not afraid, but he was extremely happy. The Blood Earth Souls here weren’t all “ghosts”. Then, if he killed these special fellows, would he lose any powerful equipment?
There were about 20 Blood Earth souls in the commotion, but 30,000 HP indicated that these monsters were ordinary monsters. With their powerful skills and combat skills, Xu You could deal with these monsters alone.
In less than a minute, all of these Blood Earth souls had become Xu You’s experience. However, after killing these Blood Earth souls, Xu You’s excitement disappeared as well, because these Blood Earth souls did not explode with anything strange.
“Forget it, they’re all ordinary monsters. What can they drop?” Xu You quickly comforted himself and continued walking towards the withered tree. Although the physical Blood Earth souls could not drop anything, their appearance told Xu You that there must be something wrong with the withered tree. Otherwise, other than the withered tree, why didn’t the physical Blood Earth souls appear anywhere else?
Three steps and two steps, Xu You arrived in front of the withered tree. The withered tree was not very tall, it was only three to four meters tall. Before the wind and clouds changed color, the tree was still very lush, but in the blink of an eye, it became a bare withered tree. It was truly a pity, but apart from this, there was nothing worth noticing about the withered tree.
After walking around the tree branch for a while, Xu You suddenly stopped at the north side of the tree and slowly retreated. Now that the withered tree had lost its leaves, Xu You could directly see the branches on the crown of the tree. It was precisely because of this that Xu You noticed that the branches of the withered tree seemed a little strange.
After retreating for more than 10 meters, Xu You finally stopped and looked at the withered tree from this place. The shape of the withered tree branch was very similar to the word “East”!
“Dong …?” Xu You laughed, but quickly restrained himself. Finding a strange place was naturally worth being happy about, but he had to figure out what this meant in the future.
It was just that a withered tree was not easy to understand, so Xu You summoned the flying snow and began to search the “Blood Ground”. He believed that there was definitely more than one withered tree in this vast space!
After flying into the sky, a scene suddenly flashed through Xu You’s mind. When he first entered the Land of Chaos, he had once flown in a large-scale environment in the Land of Chaos. He even used the method of digging a ditch to prove that the place he was in was an illusion.
Now that he was riding the flying snow into the sky, Xu You felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. If he was not mistaken, this “Blood Ground” was an illusion created from the same model as the illusion that Xu You had marked when he dug the ditch.
“This must be a chaotic place!” Xu You laughed. He was finally sure where this place was. Perhaps, Mock was looking at him!
