Lu Shaoyang slowly stopped and looked around.
"It's strange. His aura is everywhere around us, but why can't we capture his physical form?"
In front of him was an extremely open area, filled with starlight, and the surrounding flowers, plants and trees were clearly visible.
Standing here, in the soul contract realm, you can feel the illusory figure everywhere, but if you move a step towards the direction of the phantom, the phantom will disappear in an instant.
But after a while, many illusory figures will appear around again, and so on.
Just as Lu Shaoyang continued to search, Yan Miaomiao's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Brother Shaoyang! Be careful of the Big Dipper in the sky!!"
Yan Miaomiao, who broke out of the barrier, immediately rushed to Lu Shaoyang and pulled him back.
Lu Shaoyang, who retreated to the rear, looked up at the sky and saw that six of the seven stars had already lit up, and the last one also began to flicker slightly.
"Yan Miaomiao, what happened to the Big Dipper in the sky?"
"In the night sky, when all the Big Dipper stars light up, Cho Ming will appear! And he is very evil. As soon as he appears, he will enter a berserk attack state! We must be careful!"
Just as Yan Miaomiao was explaining, the last star of the Big Dipper suddenly burst into dazzling light!
"coming!!"
Instantly! !
The seven stars fell one by one, and the light of each dazzling star converged on an illusory figure.
The seven illusory figures gradually filled up and walked slowly towards the direction of Lu Shaoyang.
The further they walked, the closer the seven figures got, and finally they even completely overlapped.
"Is this... choking?!"
The Yan Ming in front of him was dressed in a white robe, with a tall and slender figure, as flawless as an ancient sculpture.
Thick and smooth black hair is spread over her shoulders like silk, gently fluttering in the night wind.
Even under the faint light of the stars, you can still see his skin as clean as white jade, and it also reveals a trace of immortality.
The whole image has nothing to do with 'evil'.
Not only Lu Shaoyang, but also Yan Miaomiao, who had fought several battles, had his eyes widened.
"How...how could it be like this?!"
Lu Shaoyang turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Yan Miaomiao, are you sure this is choking? Why is it so different from what you described?"
"I'm sure! That's what Cho Ming looks like! It's just that the Cho Ming I met before was exuding evil energy. This is the first time I've seen this Cho Ming who exudes fairy energy."
The choking sound in front of him was completely different from what he had originally imagined. It was even very different from the illusory figure he had just felt in the soul contract realm.
Before Lu Shaoyang could react, Cho Ming nodded politely.
"I'm choking. I wonder what you two are here for?"
A breath of elegance rushed to their faces instantly, leaving Lu Shaoyang and Yan Miaomiao at a loss for a moment, so they had to bow respectfully and respond in imitated tone.
"I'm in Lu Shaoyang, come here..."
Just as the words left his mouth, Cho Ming in front of him suddenly changed his appearance, exuding evil aura, approaching Lu Shaoyang, and muttered to himself.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense to him! He must be just like those people. Let's kill him!"
The next second, Cho Ming instantly changed back to his original fairy-like appearance and shouted.
"Don't be rude! Today is different from the past. Everything is based on the overall situation. Don't be willful anymore!"
"Am I willful? Yes! Not only do I want to be willful, I also want to kill them all! Hahaha!"
Only then did the two of them realize that Cho Ming seemed to have two personalities, one full of evil nature, and the other full of divinity.
Seeing that the evil choking was about to take over, the divine choking suddenly put his hands together and recited an unknown spell, which instantly suppressed the evil choking and restored his original elegant demeanor.
"I've kept you two waiting for a long time. Are you here also to open the sealing formation?" Cho Ming said with an easy-going look.
Lu Shaoyang immediately clasped his hands and said, "Yes, we are here this time just to lift the seal and complete the mission of Buzhou Mountain."
Looking at the polite gestures of the two people, Yan Miaomiao on the side looked confused, turned her head gently to Lu Shaoyang, and murmured extremely quietly.
"Brother Shaoyang, we are just here to clear a dungeon. Is it necessary to do this with the NPC? Wouldn't it be better to just defeat him and activate the magic circle?"
Facing Yan Miaomiao's doubts, Lu Shaoyang explained in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
"In the past, before Black Myth came, they were NPCs, but it's different now. They have also come to the world together, becoming flesh and blood, and even more advanced than us."
"So from now on, no matter what dungeon we fight in, we can't kill them without distinction like before."
Yan Miaomiao nodded immediately, while Cho Ming, who was standing far away, showed a kind smile and spoke slowly.
"This young man is right, but I don't think the word "arrival" is appropriate. Instead of saying "arrival," it would be more appropriate to use the word "awakening."
"We exist between this world and the earth. The game you are playing is just a microcosm."
Cho Ming took steps and walked towards Lu Shaoyang again.
"Games, dungeons, missions, everything you know, we also know."
"In the past, you could challenge countless times and face countless failures, but now, do you know the consequences of opening the magic circle?"
Cho Ming waved his hand lightly, and a magic circle glowing with golden light instantly appeared in the open space behind him.
"Now, once the three magic circles are opened, Gonggong will be completely awakened and can no longer be sealed."
"Can't seal it anymore? In other words, all copies are disposable now?" Yan Miaomiao's eyes widened.
Lu Shaoyang turned around and explained: "That's not entirely true. Ordinary dungeons can still be challenged an unlimited number of times. However, these abyss level and myth level dungeons, once opened, will no longer be open regardless of success or failure."
This means that once the corpse demon Gonggong is released, unless he is killed, he will cause harm to one party and cholera the world.
Cho Ming obviously knew this very well. After Lu Shaoyang finished explaining, he said slowly.
"Now that you all know it, are you still prepared to continue completing this mission?"
"Continue, if we are not prepared to complete this mission, we will not come back." Lu Shaoyang's eyes were full of determination.
Cho Ming suddenly smiled and stood where he was.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'm going to see if you have the ability to complete this task. If you can't even pass my level, you won't be able to even think about the task."
"Xie Ming, come out. This body will be left to you for the time being."
