Chapter 409 No wonder they're from the same place
Lin Miao sat on the leather sofa in the center of the palanquin, still wearing the ethereal Heavenly Rank fashion set "Guanghan Fairy Shadow".
She froze on the spot, her mind blank.
All the players on the street stopped.
"Holy crap!" A soldier setting up a stall dropped his iron sword. "What is this thing?"
"Good heavens, this background music almost made me think the city lord was being buried today."
"Look at the banner! The newest leader! Could she be the girl the wandering god took to the Supreme Tower?"
"Is the taste of the wealthy... really this down-to-earth?"
Hundreds of eyes turned to him simultaneously.
Some people were taking screenshots, some were drooling, and others started dancing the Yangko to the rhythm of the suona.
Lin Miao's face flushed bright red instantly.
She thought playing a game was just about quietly doing quests and fighting monsters, but who would have thought...
Right now, she just wants to crawl into a hole and disappear.
"How do I cancel it? How do I cancel this?!"
She frantically tapped around in the air, leaving afterimages on the system panel.
"The mount interface...is not there! The quest log...is not there either!"
The palanquin continued its steady march forward, and the burly men even began chanting in unison, "The Chief is on a procession! Make way, everyone!"
"Stop shouting!" Lin Miao said in a low voice, gritting her teeth.
Finally, just as the auto-pathfinding was about to reach the quest NPC, she found "Auto-pathfinding" in the status icon in the upper right corner and selected to cancel.
"Bang!"
The pink palanquin, the burly man in gold powder, and the woman in red playing the suona instantly vanished in a flash of white light.
Lin Miao lost her support and fell from mid-air.
Fortunately, she had a foundation in Qi Refining Level 1, and with a twist of her waist in mid-air, she landed steadily.
The skirt of the fairy maiden from the moon palace drew a graceful arc in the air, bringing with it a cool, ethereal moonlight effect.
The way it landed was truly ethereal.
If you ignore the expressions of hundreds of players around you trying not to laugh.
"Hey girl, what was that song called? It was really catchy," a player carrying a big sword asked as he approached.
Lin Miao turned and left without saying a word, her face stern.
Just then, a team invitation popped up on my retina.
Player "Chen You" invites you to join the team.
Lin Miao didn't think much of it and clicked "agree".
[Chen You]: Wait for me where I am.
Should we wait here?
Lin Miao stood in the middle of the bluestone path, somewhat hesitant.
The area was surrounded by layers of novice players, all dressed in coarse linen clothes and carrying rusty iron swords or wooden sticks.
They looked at Lin Miao as if she were an alien who had suddenly descended upon Earth.
"Hey girl, wanna add me as a friend? I'll take you to farm boars." A warrior player with the ID "[Mad Tyrant]" squeezed to the front, shaking his greasy hair.
Lin Miao didn't say anything.
"Ignore him, beautiful. Where did you buy that pink sedan chair? It's so impressive!" Another female player leaned over, her eyes shining.
Lin Miao remained motionless.
She silently repeated Team Leader Zhang Yunhai's instructions: "Once we enter the Origin Realm, all actions must be under Chen You's command."
Chen You told her to wait where she was, so she waited.
Just then, the light above Hinata City suddenly dimmed.
It wasn't dark clouds obscuring the sun, but rather a vast, indescribable shadow that suddenly appeared.
The noise from the street suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
A black behemoth, over a kilometer long, hovered above the city.
It resembles a giant whale, its entire body covered with mysterious dark gold patterns.
Nine Netherworld Devouring Heaven Kun.
"Holy crap... what kind of monster is that? Is it attacking the city?!"
"Run! This is definitely a world boss!"
The crowd instantly descended into chaos.
Amid the chaos, the giant shadow began to shrink rapidly and descend.
Even the Nine Nether Devouring Kun could not maintain flight in the urban airspace.
"Buzz—!"
The Nine Nether Devouring Kun landed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Chen You stood quietly on the back of the Kun.
Wearing that Ink Abyss Star River Robe, he exuded the aura of a nouveau riche and peerless master who said, "I'm very rich and you can't afford to mess with me."
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone recognized this unique and influential figure in the entire server.
"A...a wandering god?" The arrogant and domineering man who had just struck up a conversation swallowed hard and scrambled into the crowd.
Ignoring the jaws dropping around him, Chen You walked straight up to Lin Miao.
He looked her up and down, then stroked his chin.
"No wonder you're from the same place as me, you can cause a sensation wherever you go."
Lin Miao took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to draw her sword.
"Captain Chen, what do you need me for?"
Chen You waved his hand, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you."
"Get in the car, I'll take you to a nice place."
Without much thought, Lin Miao jumped onto the Kun's back.
An invisible force lifted the two of them, sending them soaring into the sky.
The novice players below looked up, watching the giant Kun flick its tail and disappear into the clouds in an instant, leaving behind only a trail of amazement and drool.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Qirui City.
Above the South Gate, Lin Miao walked to the edge and looked down, her pupils suddenly contracting.
Below, countless black monsters surged toward the south gate of Qirui City like a tidal wave.
On the city wall, the NPC defenders were putting up a desperate fight. Magic lights and arrows rained down, but they still couldn't stop the monster's battering ram from smashing into the city gate.
Outside the city gates, the craziest people weren't the monsters, but the players.
Thousands of players, their eyes bloodshot, brandished their weapons and charged into the horde of monsters.
"Double experience! Let's go, brothers!"
"It dropped a piece of equipment! That ram-horned demon dropped a blue item!"
"No, can someone invite me to join a group? I don't have a team yet!"
The players were like a group of sharks that had smelled blood, rushing forward one after another, piling up a bloody path with their corpses.
"It's really brutal." Chen You stood next to Lin Miao, looking at the meat grinder-like battlefield below, and uttered a completely insincere sigh.
Lin Miao clenched her fists: "The city gate is about to collapse. The leading monster is a very high level."
She pointed behind the monster army.
There stood a colossal demon, tens of meters tall, its body engulfed in green flames, wielding a giant, dripping axe.
Bartos, the Demon Lord.
"You can just stand there and watch the show." A hint of excitement flashed in Chen You's eyes.
He drew the Jade Emperor Sword, its white jade blade standing out starkly against the dark red sky.
"Are you going alone?" Lin Miao grabbed his sleeve.
"That's an army of tens of thousands of monsters! No matter how strong you are, your spiritual energy will eventually run out!"
Chen You turned his head, looked at Lin Miao's serious face, and grinned.
"Spiritual energy exhausted? That's impossible."
"Besides, I'm not going down."
He casually tossed it away, and the Jade Emperor Sword flew out of his hand.
In mid-air, the Jade Emperor Sword split into three.
"The Second Form of the Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique—Chaotic Stars!"
The three Jade Emperor Swords instantly transformed into three golden, furious dragons, piercing the air with sharp shrieks as they plunged into the densest mass of monsters below.
In an instant, a storm of golden sword energy erupted on the dark red battlefield.
Severed limbs and black blood shot into the sky.
