Chapter 213: Chapter 198 Death-like (3K)_1
Translator: 549690339
The Eternal Continent is vast and boundless, filled with all types of treasures, dangerous lands, and mysterious areas.
Anything could happen when players are exploring.
What about Victor?
The Ghost of his Underworld flashed into the gaps between heaven and earth, using it as a springboard to flee far away. Normally, the furthest distance would be just a few tens of kilometres. He wouldn’t be drilling into any Underworld Ghost Market, but…
The strange market appeared before his eyes and he couldn’t ignore it.
“It’s possible that I’ve encountered a small probability event, such as accidentally experiencing a spatial shift, or the Ghost’s Underworld escape just happened to enter a special place within a spatial gap.”
Victor not panicked at all.
He is an experienced A-grade explorer who has been through all sorts of difficulties.
Moreover, theoretically, if the Ghost can escape into this place, he can also escape out of it in the same way. Perhaps, he, Victor, has encountered a great opportunity.
The risks and rewards of such special places are often proportional.
In each of the shops there, he might find some treasures. If one were to ask where the greatest benefits could be obtained…
Victor looked at the magnificent red building hidden in the black fog.
They must be there.
Thinking of this, Victor got a little excited. He didn’t rush directly to the red building, but went into a nearby shop, rummaging around and finally he took out some leather.
“It appears to be just ordinary beast leather?”
He went into another shop, searched and scraped. All he found were a few RedBlood Fruits.
“Is that all?”
He was very dissatisfied as the actual scenario was far from his initial estimation.
But based on his years of experience, such an extraordinary market should have more than this.
“I went into the shops, knocked over the goods, but didn’t encounter any danger.”
“So it seems all the treasures are concentrated in the red building?”
(Hong Yi: The Ghost Market just opened, and she can’t materialize high-level treasures. You can’t blame her for that? What can she do without any staff here.)
Hong Yi stayed in the building, quietly watching.
Being watched, Victor didn’t realize it. He just continued to walk towards the red building.
The building, which seemed not far away, took longer to reach than he thought.
He passed one street after another and walked for more than ten minutes until he finally got close to the red building. He looked up, and the outer walls of the building were blood red, as if it was built with fresh blood.
The wind blew, and the wind chime made a ding-ding sound.
Looking at the building, Victor’s face suddenly changed, “What power is invading my body? No, strange powers have been eroding me all the time, but I didn’t realize it until just now!”
“Indeed, such special places can’t be without dangers!”
But that’s okay.
He, Victor, can just leave for the time being and return to explore the unknown after he’s fully prepared.
He has the Ghost of the Underworld, which can travel through the underworld. This is his absolute advantage.
“Let’s go.”
He muttered.
In the shadow, the round body of the Ghost of the Underworld emerged and swallowed Victor. It then retreated into the underworld again, anchoring the furthest distance and began to escape!
Swipe
The Ghost of the Underworld leapt into the shadow and rushed out from somewhere else.
The dark view gradually became clear, Victor looked around, and his facial expression suddenly froze.
How come he was still in the Ghost Market?
“No panic! Maybe the Ghost Market is too vast to jump out in one go.”
Victor thought so.
He stood at the same spot, waiting for the Ghost of the Underworld to recharge for the next underworld escape. Then, he entered the Ghost’s stomach.
The next moment,
The ghost figure leaped into the shadow as if it was a pool and disappeared.
Then it appeared again.
Victor’s face messed up again.
He just couldn’t believe it!
Escape! Escape! Continue to escape!
The Ghost of the Underworld was like a fish stranded on the shore, constantly flapping, jumping up and down, after several attempts…
The originally fat Ghost of the Underworld visibly became skinny. It was panting heavily and sticking out its tongue as it ran out of strength.
Really, it had none left at all!
Underworld escape was originally a challenging technique. It required a gap after use and it was a heavy burden to carry a person each time. But after several consecutive escapes, even the third-order Ghost of the Underworld couldn’t take it anymore.
It glanced resentfully at Victor, no matter how much Victor urged it, it refused to exert any more energy.
It just couldn’t run anymore.
It still couldn’t run even when it was extremely anxious.
“Fuck!”
Victor had to force himself not to panic. He took out a spherical crystal-like contacting tool from his storage ring, gently caressed it, activated it and used it. He was trying to contact the outside world.
His contact attempt failed.
“These special places usually cause serious interference, no panic, I am prepared.”
He continued to stay cool.
A broken pattern appeared on the back of his hand, summoning two elite-level Shadow Assassins. Under his command, the two Assassins rushed continuously in two directions.
Hundreds of meters.
Thousands of meters.
Tens of thousands of meters.
The Ghost Market seemed larger than he thought. The two Shadow Assassins had been running for a long time but still hadn’t seen the end.
As Victor continued to wait, suddenly, the contact between him, the Chosen One, and these two rare soldiers completely broke off.
His face changed again.
“Don’t panic, I still have a plan.”
Victor took out a Breaking Boundary Stone and smashed it down hard.
Nothing changed.
“Don’t panic, I still have a plan.”
Victor tore a precious teleportation scroll. His body disappeared in a blink, but reappeared at the original place the next moment.
“Don’t panic, I still have… have…”
Victor forced himself not to panic… not to panic my foot!
This isn’t a place of opportunity at all, it’s doom! The doom that guarantees the death of any who stray into it!
The seeds of fear have landed, quickly taking root and sprouting, burrowing into his flesh, gnawing at his soul, invading and occupying his entire body.
By the time Victor realized something was amiss with his fear-filled psyche, his psychological defense had already been overwhelmingly breached, and his consciousness wavered vastly.
“Ghosts… ghosts…”
He summoned his most powerful ghosts, only to turn and see his own ghost looking lifeless, stepping slowly into the next shop and starting to tidy up the goods in it.
As if it were the shopkeeper or an apprentice here.
Everything was so natural.
Victor seemed to realize something, but darkness had already surged like a tide, engulfing him entirely.
Inside the Bloodstained Red Building,
Hong Yi, wearing a wedding dress, supported her chin on her hand as she rested her elbows on the windowsill. She overlooked the entire Ghost Market, but never really took action.
She had taken care of one, no, two Third-Order War General Level Experts, completely allowing them to be consumed and turned into part of the Underworld Ghost Market.
“If future jobs could all be this easy.”
She stood up, stretched, displaying her beautiful curves.
But Hong Yi knew well that not all battles would be this easy.
This intruder was not weak at all.
If it were a normal confrontation, she could win, but at great effort and annoyance. Who asked the intruder to enter the Underworld Ghost Market himself?
“But once there are more evil ghosts in the Ghost Market, I can indeed take it easy.”
“The skill of the Underworld Ghost Market is really nice- ”
Twilight Plain Region.
Somewhere hidden within a mountain, a very covert outpost of the Eye of Shiny.
“Sir, the losses of the hounds are somewhat overboard.”
A black-clad executor bowed and said.
“Hounds” referred to the loose players attracted with heavy money. They included natives of the Star Splendor Federation and many foreign players.
The Eye of Shiny welcomes all.
They used the “hounds” as “cannon fodder”, scouting out minefields one by one, or areas that deserved to be focused on. But the “hounds” were all elite-level players, not real cannon fodder, and if the losses were too big, they would be questioned by the superiors.
“It doesn’t matter.”
The regional commander with a black cane and a V-shaped mask waved his hand, “As long as we can scout out enough information, there won’t be any problems. Hounds are supposed to be used like this. We can’t possibly waste our precious funds on these hounds.”
Hounds? Even if they were from the Star Splendor Federation, they were just expendable goods.
The internal scouts of his Eye of Shiny were the real companions. freёnovelkiss.com
Only these elite scouts and senior scouts were able to obtain real information.
“What’s the situation with the scouts from all over?”
“Of 136 C-level scouts, 18 are currently out of contact.”
Not a small loss.
But after all, it was just C-level, these guys were still relatively inexperienced, they were just being used for training.
The V-face commander remained unfazed.
The black-clad executor continued, “B-level scouts have obtained n B-level pieces of information and several C-level pieces of information. However, Ma Xiu and Cha Gen, among the B-level scouts, have lost contact. I asked a diviner to do a divination, and it is confirmed that these two colleagues have been sacrificed.”
“They were all good fellows, let’s have a moment of silence for them, remember to send the consolation money to their families.”
The V-face commander said so.
But he wasn’t surprised either. After all, Xuan Country was not an easy opponent, their scouts were bound to suffer losses.
Compared to the information obtained, this loss was totally within the acceptable range.
Continue,
Keep scouting.
Don’t stop.
He didn’t ask about the situation of the A-grade explorers. He only had a few A- grade explorers here, each of them with unique skills, they don’t need his specific inquiry. The sub-executors didn’t have much information about A- grade explorers either.
A-grade explorers don’t need to report regularly, and they often have very little contact with headquarters. But once they contact, it means that important information has arrived.
The V-face commander was very confident in the abilities of these senior scouts.
The only thing he was unsure about was whether these untamed guys were really working hard or not.
The black-clad executor, who had just left, returned.
He came to the front, wanted to speak but stopped, pondered for a while, and finally said, “Commander, the A-grade explorer… ‘Victor of the Phantom’ in the A-grade, cannot be contacted.”
The executor was a bit anxious.
But the V-face commander was very calm. As a former A-grade scout himself, he knew very well the temper of those guys.
He just said, “It’s okay if you can’t contact for a while. The missions of the A- grade explorers are quite heavy. He might be hiding, or he might have turned off the contact because of something. Anyway, try to contact him again in a few hours.”
“And, as an intelligence officer, the most important thing is to learn to stay calm, don’t let anxiety and panic control oneself.”
“Yes, sir.”
A few hours later,
“Still can’t contact, sir.”
Several hours later,
“Still can’t contact, sir.”
“Sir, as you know, an A-grade explorer… the last contact from Victor was three days ago.”
“Sir, we have asked the mages of the divination department to perform the divination. Using the memento Victor left in the base, the mages deciphered a clear result, but this result…”
The black-clad executor wanted to be tactful in his words, but found it difficult to euphemize.
He could only say, “The result of the divination is, Victor is dead, but Victor is also still alive.”
This was not a vague result of uncertain life or death.
The result was that A-grade explorer Victor was between life and death.
With a fluid variability.
As if dead.
