“Brutish Gorilla King! Surrender or die!”
The last time he polymorphed was last night around 8 p.m. So if he added the time he spent on the auction, the time he farmed on the fifth floor, his downtime to eat, and his time spent on recruiting followers, it was almost around twenty hours. He could polymorph again soon.
He put away all his followers and shape shifted into human form. He wore the Dark Shadow mask, and then took out and used a Town Portal Scroll to return to the Imperial Dragon City. He then headed towards the Teleportation Circle and used it to go to Luzhou City.
Luzhou City was also one of the thirty-six main cities. However, it was not as popular as the Imperial Dragon City. There weren’t many players on the streets.
He looked at his map and quickly made his way to Lanruo Temple once he found it on his map.
…
Lanruo Temple was located at the foot of Mount Xiling. All the monsters here were Level 30 and of the spirit type. That meant ghosts and whatnot.
And that was why the area was dark and spooky. While it was still morning according to the game time, it was night here. The sky was pitch black, and a chilling wind would howl at times, causing him to become stressed.
Just when he was on his way, he passed by a graveyard. He looked at the tombstones in the graveyard and gulped. Just as he was making his way forward, white shadows appeared from the tombstones, scaring him.
“Oh, my god…”
Wraith: Level 30 Monster
HP: 150,000
Attack: 1,700—1,900
Defense: 800
“The way they designed the… The horror atmosphere is fairly good.”
Looking at the wraiths that were floating in front of him, he made his way around the wraiths’ aggro area and made his way to Lanruo Temple.
It didn’t take him long to see a group of Ghost Wolves. They were ones that had a ghost’s face imprinted on their forehead and were very strong.
They did not have any aggro radius and would attack anyone they see.
But he did not fight with the group of Ghost Wolves. He used the Invisibility skill of the Dark Shadow and passed through the Ghost Wolves’ territory.
He climbed up towards Mount Xiling’s peak for a little more while and finally saw an abandoned temple.
In front of the temple was a ruined stone market, and on it was written “Lanruo Temple.”
In front of the Lanruo Temple under a great tree, Ning Caichen was tying a knot on a branch using a piece of white cloth, his face full of sorrow.
Just when he made his way there, he saw Ning Caichen had put his neck through the loop made from the white fabric, and kicked away the rock that he was standing on. Instantly, his body was hanging on the white fabric, his tongue sticking out as his hands struggled beside him.
“Damn it! I was only late for a minute. Do you have to commit suicide because of that?!”
Seeing what had happened, Jiang Feng cursed under his breath as he took a sword out from his inventory and slashed the fabric. The fabric was torn apart and Ning Caichen fell onto the ground.
“Cough… Why did you save me? I couldn’t save Xiao Qian! Why don’t you just let me die so I can become a ghost and accompany her…” Ning Caichen cried out as he coughed while holding his neck after he fell to the ground.
‘Um… This is the first time I had heard of an NPC committing suicide because of love.’
Jiang Feng looked at the weeping Ning Caichen speechlessly, and then quickly comforted him, “Don’t cry. Didn’t you get the Red Sun Sword? Why didn’t you manage to save Xiao Qian? Why don’t you tell me what had happened?”
