Chapter 264: The Hungry Ghosts’ End of the World Is Settled, and They Return with a Full Load!

Chapter 264 "The End of the Hungry Ghosts" is settled and returns with a full load!

"Lao Liu, stay here, Xue Yang, follow me."

After receiving the news about home-cooked food in Northeast China, Jiang Qian quickly rushed to the center of the island.

After passing through the cracked ground lines, the Gate of Time and Space is still located above the source of the earth veins. The thick metal door remains unmoved after several battles, quietly hiding at the intersection of countless worlds, temporarily sealing countless desires. .

But "this door" cannot be included in the player's locker.

In order to ensure the winning conditions and avoid unnecessary complications, Jiang Qian strictly controlled the use of all keys of time and space. In addition to the two keys obtained from Brother La and Zhang Bi, a total of 6 keys were later obtained from various cities and paid by surrenderers, all of which were held in Jiang Qian's hands.

He quickly passed the gate of time and space, and as he walked, he told Dongbei Jia Cui: "Stay here and send a message about the movement of this gate in 5 minutes."

"Okay!" Dongbei Home Cooking replied enthusiastically.

Jiang Qian kept walking underground, passed through the transparent wall, and came to the cave where the source of the earth vein was discovered.

Brother Drag was frowning at the place where the transparent cover prop disappeared.

"When did this happen?"

"Just now." Hearing Jiang Qian and the two approaching, Brother La turned around and pointed to the sky above the source of the earth's veins. "When the waves outside were at their strongest, this cover suddenly broke."

Jiang Qian looked around: "It's probably the time limit."

Brother Yan also nodded in agreement: "Today is the last day here."

But there is another possibility. This matter is related to the reappearance of the North Sea behemoth.

Assume that the giant beast of the North Sea is a gatekeeper used by the God of Creation to guard the things sealed, and we are the guardians who guard the mysterious place from being invaded. The hunter represented by the open nose previously killed another giant beast of the North Sea for the first time. It's obvious that the Guardians are on the same side as the Behemoth.

It is helping us, and may even have solved some unseen troubles for us...

After thinking about this, Jiang Qian passed Brother Drag and walked towards the source of the earth veins: "Go and guard the entrance of the cave."

"Hey, we are about to leave this hellish place. Is this necessary?" Brother Yan gave a symbolic advice.

He knew what Jiang Qian was going to do.

Now that the general situation has been decided, Brother La believes that Jiang Qian's personal behavior will no longer cause a reversal of the dungeon results. As long as it does not affect the victory, then how Jiang Qian "seeks death" is not his concern.

Even based on the unpleasantness of the previous forced contract, he was somewhat hoping that Jiang Qian would be unlucky and his car would be destroyed and people would be killed, and the contract would be voided.

"For me there is."

Jiang Qian tightened the watch on his wrist, took out the pen, threw it down and inserted it into the crevice. The pen stretched out its neck like a living poisonous snake, using the tip as an "eye" to peer around.

"Okay, then pay attention!" Brother Yan said and walked out.

"Xue Yang, come here." Jiang Qian greeted Xue Yang.

Xue Yang stared at the turbid water at the source of the earth's veins. After dragging his brother out, he asked doubtfully: "Old Jiang, what did you plan to do when you called me here..."

"Take this."

A key to time and space was put into Xue Yang's palm, followed by neatly stacked invisibility cloaks.

"Old Jiang, what on earth do you want to do?"

Jiang Qian's eyes were deep and his tone was as usual: "I am going to use the remaining time to suck up all the poisonous pollution in the source of the earth veins. If anything happens to me later, you will put on this invisibility cloak and use the key quietly. Open the door of time and space and go back to the present moment and stop me from doing this."

"This, I..." Xue Yang frowned as he digested Jiang Qian's words, and slowly reached out to take the thing.

"Promise me, Xue Yang, if something goes wrong I might die."

"Fuck!" Xue Yang almost knocked the thing over.

But seeing Jiang Qian's consistent expression, Xue Yang knew it was not a joke.

So he was so nervous that his tone trembled: "Why, why take such a risk? You said you wouldn't do meaningless things..."

Jiang Qian smiled: "Do you think I took the risk to eradicate the hidden danger because I was worried about the spread of poisonous pollution again?"

Xue Yang nodded blankly, then shook his head desperately.

"This is not meaningless, Xue Yang."

Jiang Qian calmly explained:

"Not to mention the value of the special energy of poisonous pollution, I suspect that the existence of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" depends on some kind of power beyond our understanding. "

"There are many strange things in this, and so far, there is no corresponding reasonable answer."

With that said, Jiang Qian picked up the key of time and space again from Xue Yang's palm:

"For example, this. You know, the Gate of Time and Space cannot be stored in the player's locker, but this Key of Time and Space can."

"Does this mean that the Gate of Time and Space belongs to the dungeon, but its use rights are not limited to this dungeon. Just imagine, assuming that one day we need to use this prop to do things, what is the most likely way to open it?"

Xue Yang replied vaguely: "Come back here and open the door to time and space in the dungeon?"

"Through anchoring props. I hope that when I come back next time, the world will still be functioning normally as it is now. Super-species players will cooperate friendly with the indigenous people here, and no one will deliberately approach or disturb Davos Island."

Xue Yang nodded.

"I understand." He took hold of what Jiang Qian gave him and swallowed, "Old Jiang, how sure are you? Let's make it clear first. No matter how valuable it is, I will tell you if something goes wrong. Sister can’t afford to explain!”

"Remember the current time and repeat what I said." Jiang Qian avoided Xue Yang's question.

Although Xue Yang was extremely nervous, he still clearly repeated Jiang Qian's instructions.

Jiang Qian nodded with satisfaction: "Leave it to you."

Then he turned around and walked calmly towards the source of the earth vein, one step, two steps, three steps...

When he was one step away from the source of the earth vein, Jiang Qian stopped, squatted down, and waited calmly.

About two minutes later, the pages of the exploration notebook were ironed, and it was unfolded to be a message from Northeast home-cooked dishes:

"The door is quiet, everything is normal."

The pages of the notebook burned at Jiang Qian's fingertips.

Jiang Qian stood up, returned to the nervous Xue Yang, and patted him on the shoulder.

The test just now showed: Assuming Xue Yang acted according to Jiang Qian's instructions, whenever Jiang Qian encountered any crisis, Xue Yang would come back to the "present" to stop Jiang Qian's behavior in the way Jiang Qian had instructed.

Based on Jiang Qian's understanding of Xue Yang and his observation of his current mood, Jiang Qian judged that he would definitely follow the instructions.

But just now Jiang Qian waited for several minutes but did not receive the "signal of obstruction", and the report of Northeast Home Cooking also showed that the Gate of Time and Space had never been opened.

In other words, excluding the negligible small probability time, Xue Yang "will never" use the power of the Gate of Time and Space.

Xue Yang stared at Jiang Qian who had returned strangely. He had not yet reacted to what was going on.

"Don't worry."

After saying that, Jiang Qian turned back again, returned to the source of the earth vein, and decisively stretched out his hands and immersed them.

The poison pollution flowed through Jiang Qian's hands and continued to store, and the entire earth vein trembled with it.

Xue Yang held the invisibility cloak and the key of time and space given to him by Jiang Qian in his hands, and stared at Jiang Qian's back with a tense expression.

Not long after, a familiar copy prompt came from his ear:

[The pollution concentration at the source of the earth vein is less than 50%, and the crisis is temporarily resolved. 】

Every guardian player heard such a prompt.

Brother Zhuai who has returned to the ground, Lao Liu in the canyon guarding the edge of the island, and the player who was used as an experimental subject by Jiang Qian and forcibly changed to a hunter...

"Someone is cleaning up the pollution at the source of the earth veins. Is it Qianlong Wuyong?"

"Clear all the poison pollution? Why? Can we do that?"

"What a bold man with great skills! If I were him, I would not bother to care about the things here. I really don't want to stay in this damn place for a day..."

...

Some people are surprised, some sigh, and some are doubtful.

However, these voices were eventually drowned out by the frequent dungeon prompts:

[The pollution concentration at the source of the earth veins is less than 40%, and the crisis is temporarily resolved. ]

[The pollution concentration at the source of the earth veins is less than 20%, and the crisis is temporarily resolved. ]

[The pollution concentration at the source of the earth veins is less than 10%...]

In the continuously decreasing pollution index, most of the doubts and sighs turned into amazement, amazed at Qianlong Wuyong's terrifying control over "poison".

The source of the earth veins.

The continuous absorption of poison pollution is making Jiang Qian in a state of high tension and extreme excitement.

When the concentration of toxic pollution dropped to 5%, Jiang Qian finally experienced a feeling called "fullness" for the first time, followed by a "dizzy" feeling of being top-heavy, a sign of excessive drinking.

This means that the body's stock of "toxicity" is about to reach its peak.

But he did not stop.

The "crossing test" on Xue Yang made him feel confident and bold to test the threshold.

But Xue Yang himself was anxious!

"Old Jiang, Old Jiang, are you okay?"

"Almost." Jiang Qian's tone was calm, but the veins on his arms and neck were already protruding, and the pressure was visible to the naked eye.

"No, that's not right!" Xue Yang realized that something was wrong and jumped in a hurry, "Old Jiang, stop, the dangerous atmosphere in this cave is about to explode now!"

But Jiang Qian did not respond as if he had lost consciousness.

Xue Yang was in a dilemma for a few seconds, and finally dropped his things and rushed to Jiang Qian to try to pull Jiang Qian out of the water. As a result, as soon as he approached, he was stunned by a strong hostility!

"Don't come over, Xue Yang."

Jiang Qian "pulled" an arm out from the source of the earth vein with some difficulty. The hand soaked in the earth vein was now torn and bloody. Dark juice slowly overflowed from the dripping flesh and blood. The state was cruel and terrifying!

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"To collect this kind of special toxic pollution, there must be some price to pay, which is acceptable."

Xue Yang stared at Jiang Qian's arm in shock and couldn't say a word for a long time.

He gritted his teeth and roared! He rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Qian and pulled him back to the shore!

Almost at the same time, a reminder sounded in everyone's ears:

[The pollution concentration at the source of the earth vein is less than 1%, and the crisis has been resolved. ]

[Hidden task: The crisis of the earth vein has been resolved. ]

[Congratulations to the player: ... You have successfully survived 72 days in the "Hungry Ghost End" copy! The main task has been completed. Do you want to enter the settlement? ]

...

Do you want to enter the settlement?

…

In his increasingly chaotic consciousness, Jiang Qian reviewed his experiences in the past 72 days of "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse":

Hunger on the verge of losing control, the difficult choice of the appetite path, being trapped in the ideal town, the exploration of the source of the disaster; the alliance with the Canyon Laoliu and others, the chaos after the second coordinate announcement, the baiting, the net, the postman, and the other five branches that surfaced; the crisis response, probing, cooperation, and hard fighting and pulling in the mysterious land of the North Sea Military Fortress...

Then, victory.

The nightmare cycle is broken, and the Guardian Alliance joins in the grand event, using all means to break up the Hunter camp and incorporate it into itself, planting lies and beliefs, telling lies, bidding farewell to human allies, fireworks filling the night sky, and the carnival of Guardian players! The elaborate ambush behind the joy, the emergence of the giant beast from the North Sea...

Finally, the leyline cancer was completely eradicated.

Everything that had to be done and everything that could not be done was done.

From the initial "I just want to take Xue Yang away safely", to accidentally completing countless experimental exercises, thoroughly improving the benefits of healing mutations, and then being attracted by the interesting branches and high-value tools of this dungeon, I am increasingly Go deep into the roots.

What you deserve and what you don’t deserve are all accepted.

Returned with a full load.

Jiang Qian suddenly opened his eyes!

It was still pitch black before his eyes, with no light at all.

But he still spared no effort to pronounce those two words——

"Settlement."

【Settlement in progress...】

It’s still a familiar voice, and the data is tiled in the field of view in a familiar format:

[Initial state loading...]

[Player ID: Qianlong, do not use]

[Identity Tag: Tang Snake]

[Category: mythical beast]

[Level: Three-state·Fusion (experience value 5%)]

[Skills: Spiritual Vision, Poison Resistance, Snake Shadow Sneaking; Venomous Fangs, Poison Sacs, Devouring Creatures; Sneaking, Scale Armor, Wind Control]

[Identity Tag: Dragon]

[Category: mythical beast]

[Level: Under evaluation...]

[Skill: Unknown]

…

Jiang Qian felt that his consciousness was in a half-dream state, like a drunken drunkard. He thought he was awake, but his limbs and brain refused to cooperate.

etc?

Jiang Qian suddenly realized that his settlement interface seemed to have undergone some unusual changes.

That iced dragon card at the bottom of the box looks like...?

Before his consciousness could turn around, a new list of information began again:

[Copy of clearance: Copy No. AM2012 - The End of the Hungry Ghost]

[Type: Multiple Death]

[Difficulty Level: Nightmare (A)]

[Betting chips: Super Crystal*30]

[The main mission is accomplished! Completion rate 80% (at the moment of settlement, the player is still alive, but only alive)]

[The side mission "Source of Catastrophe" has been completed! Completion rate 100%]

[The hidden mission "Nightmare Reincarnation" has been completed! Completion rate 100%]

[The hidden mission "Leyline Resurrection" has been completed! Completion rate 100%]

[Special Rating: Congratulations to the player Qian Long Wu Yong, who was rated as the "MVP Player" in this "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse"! 】

[Dungeon rewards are being distributed...]

Jiang Qian frowned slightly.

A series of "100% completion rate" was mixed with a sudden appearance of a main task completion rate of 80%, which confused him:

It's just that the skin tissue on both arms is ulcerated, and the consciousness is temporarily affected by the poisonous pollution and cannot think like a normal person. There is no need to comment so exaggeratedly...

Fortunately, this did not affect his special evaluation of "MVP Player".

This was the first time he had received this kind of evaluation technique. He remembered Lan Junxian briefly saying at the time: This is an exclusive title that can only be issued if the duration of the dungeon and the player capacity exceed a certain level.

Players who obtain this title will gain far more experience points when the dungeon is settled than expected!

As soon as I thought of this, the settlement reward came:

[Experience value reward: 120%! 】

[Prop reward: Gate of Time and Space (imitation) Key of Time and Space*5 (consumables) four-panel display window]

[Chips reward: Super Crystal*30]

…

The experience value is indeed exceeded.

120%, a shameful waste... Jiang Qian felt a little sick at the time.

Obviously you only need to add 95% more experience points to qualify for promotion, so isn't the extra 25% just for nothing?

In addition, the imitation of the Gate of Time and Space, which corresponds to the Key of Time and Space, is also within the range of Jiang Qian's expected use of the prop.

The real Gate of Time and Space belongs to the dungeon and cannot be taken out in the form of props. Therefore, the dungeon grants the use function of the Gate of Time and Space, which probably limits the number of times the prop can be used based on the number of keys. Great, even if it can only be used a few times, it is still an incredible reward... Jiang Qian thought this while quickly checking the specific content of the item reward:

[Name: Gate of Time and Space (imitation)]

[Type: daily necessities]

[Function: time travel]

[Introduction: An eclectic and talented traveler visited many mysterious worlds, collected countless indescribable precious materials, and refined them to create a magical tool called the "Gateway of Time and Space" that can travel to any time and place. The cost of using the door is very low. You only need to walk from one side of the door to the other. But the price after using it is extremely terrible. This imitation is made to simulate the real "Gate of Time and Space". Since this door is a fake, it can only go to a single location for a limited time; but fortunately, its cost of use is also greatly reduced and can be ignored. 】

[Usage: Open the door and walk in. 】

[Note: You are separated from the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" by a single door. 】

Jiang Qian:? ? ?

Typos and flaws will be corrected first and then corrected.
