Hearing Qian Pangpang's words, Li Yan rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "I've missed you too much. I've told you so many times, don't get too involved. This is just a game. It's obviously just asking for thunder and rain to succeed."
"Um...but why is the thunder so loud?"
"Well, it seems that we must have really sought out the best kind of weather, that's why there is such strong thunder."
"You mean...the kind that can see dragons?" Qian Pangpang was startled and looked up outside.
But unfortunately, it was raining so hard outside that I couldn't see anything clearly.
The visibility was less than ten meters, and I couldn't even tell where the door outside was, so how could I look at the sky?
"That's right, so I think we need to be careful now." Li Yan suddenly reminded him.
"Huh? What are you careful about?" Qian Pangpang suddenly became serious when he saw that Li Yan's expression was serious and did not look like he was joking.
Li Yan did not joke with him, but continued to analyze rationally:
"If we pray for rain and it is really the best weather to see dragons, then I think there must be ghosts around the Dragon King Temple."
"There's nothing strange about this, right? This dungeon world is originally a ghost dungeon. Ghosts are all over the map. What's so unusual about the few ghosts outside the Dragon King Temple?"
"No, what I mean is that there should be an extremely powerful ghost around the Dragon King Temple, at least with the strength of three stars."
"Huh? How do you say that? How can you see it?" Qian Pangpang raised his eyebrows, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"You also know that if it is an ordinary thunderstorm, the thunder will not be so scary. Only in that kind of dragon shadow weather, when thunder and lightning randomly fall to kill evil spirits, can it be so powerful. Moreover, listen to the sound, it is The area around the Dragon King Temple is very close to us."
"So it means that there is a ghost outside the Dragon King Temple, which was hit by the lightning just now!" Qian Pangpang nodded to express his understanding, and also asked a question: "But how did you judge the strength of this ghost? "
Faced with Qian Pangpang's question, Li Yan softly uttered three words: "Listen to the thunder."
"Thunder? What's wrong with thunder?" Qian Pangpang asked in confusion.
"In the copy of Emperor Zheng, the thunder falling from the Dragon Shadow Sky can be distinguished."
"Depends on the length of time?" Qian Pangpang had heard of it occasionally before. When he was reminded by Li Yan's words, he suddenly thought of it and immediately exclaimed.
Li Yan nodded and said: "That's right, it just depends on the length of time. It will be over in an instant. Even if you kill an imp with one star or below, the sound will be just a slight 'click'."
"Does the second star mean 'click, click', and the three stars become 'click - click -'?"
"..." Li Yan was silent for a moment, and then said casually, as if he didn't hear Qian Pangpang's words: "Anyway, depending on the duration of the thunder, the power of the corresponding ghost can be determined. Analyze it.”
"Oh...it must be that there happens to be a ghost around, right? Coincidence?"
"I think it's just the opposite." Li Yan shook his head and said, "It's no accident that a three-star evil ghost appears here. Because of that player, all the ghosts around him have been wiped out. How can it happen that now it happens again? Is there a new evil spirit?"
"What do you mean?"
"This three-star ghost has probably locked onto the auras of you and me and followed us here."
"But no matter what, since this evil ghost has been killed by the thunder, there is no need for us to worry, right?"
Li Yan shook his head again and said, "What I'm afraid of is that this evil ghost might not have been struck to death by lightning."
"Huh? What kind of ghost has a chance of not being hacked to death?"
"Ghost head evil spirit."
The moment Li Yan heard the thunder, he couldn't help but think of the [human-headed ghost] he had killed at the beginning of the dungeon.
The human-headed ghost is a very strange ghost.
Although each kind of ghost has its own unique features, the human-headed ghost can still be regarded as the best among ghosts.
First of all, the conditions for this kind of ghost to appear are very rare. It needs to be decapitated with resentment before death, and the body and head must be separated before it has the chance to turn into a human-headed ghost.
Usually in this case, what appears are headless ghosts.
Only a very small part of them will use their heads to gather resentment and turn into human-headed ghosts.
The human-headed ghost is not very powerful, but has a strong sense of perception and can easily detect the sounds around him.
There is a high possibility that strangers who have spread incense ash will be noticed in front of the human-headed ghost.
Although this is the case, it stands to reason that as long as you are not surrounded by ghosts, you don't have to worry about encountering human-headed ghosts. After all, human-headed ghosts are weak and there are not many in number.
But there are exceptions to everything.
A single human-headed ghost is weak, but when several or even a dozen human-headed ghosts gather together, there is a high possibility that a powerful ghost called a "ghost-headed evil" will appear.
Such ghosts usually appear on battlefields or execution grounds, where human heads are piled up.
It can be said to be one ghost, or it can be said to be many.
Because it is originally formed by the aggregation of many human-headed ghosts, it is a kind of incredible ghost.
Li Yan was now very suspicious that the human-headed ghost he had killed before was one of the ghost-headed evil spirits.
The human-headed ghost had a weak evil spirit all over his body, which was something that normal ghosts did not have.
At that time, Li Yan noticed something was wrong and quickly left the place.
Therefore, it is very possible that the headless ghost met a human-headed ghost that was alone from the ghost-headed demon, and then suppressed it by force.
After the ghost-headed ghost sensed that a part of himself had been taken away, he originally chased the headless ghost.
But it happened that Li Yan killed both the headless ghost and the human-headed ghost, which transferred the hatred, and the ghost-headed ghost would continue to chase him.
Li Yan took the blame for no reason, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, ghosts are of low intelligence and cannot reason with strangers.
Moreover, the ghost head demon's perception is very strong. As long as it pursues it, it will definitely follow it and it will be difficult to get rid of it.
At the same time, because the ghost-headed demon is composed of many human-headed ghosts, when it encounters a fatal threat, it can quickly transfer all the injuries to one or several of them, using this trick to survive.
It's the same as the life-saving tricks like nine-tailed fox, three-tailed cat, lizard spirit, etc.
Coincidentally, the rain outside had decreased a lot at this time, and the visibility had also improved significantly.
Li Yan looked outside and saw that there was indeed a large cloud of black martial mist floating in the sky above the Dragon King Temple.
In this black mist, countless distorted faces can be seen emerging from time to time, and then rolling and disappearing.
Li Yan's guess was correct, this was a group of extremely powerful ghost-headed evil spirits!
However, Li Yan was not too anxious or panicked, because the protective effect of the Dragon King Temple would last for a relatively long time.
And because of the thunder and lightning just now, the strength of the ghost head evil spirit that should have been four stars has now fallen to three stars.
Moreover, on this thundery day when dragon shadows can be seen, if this ghost-headed evil spirit doesn't hide quickly, it is estimated that he will suffer a few lightning strikes.
A few more lightning strikes might kill it directly, saving Li Yan from doing it himself.
This ghost-headed evil spirit is very powerful. It can be said to be at the peak level in the same star class. Li Yan has no confidence that he can kill it easily.
What's more, even if you kill it after a hard fight, you won't get much reward.
Li Yan would not do anything that was a waste of effort and was not pleasing to the eye.
Shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders, Li Yan stopped caring about the ghosts outside and turned around to put away the incense burner on the altar table.
These incense ash are something that will be used in the entire dungeon. They will be consumed continuously before the final Guandi Temple. Of course, the more the better.
As for the tributes, they had long since disappeared as the prayer for rain succeeded.
Just when Li Yan and Qian Pangpang had put away the incense burner and were searching for other props, a cough sounded in the corner of the Dragon King Temple.
"Ahem..." The voice was extremely weak, and the owner of the voice seemed to be dying.
The man was wearing Taoist robes and a yellow scarf. He was Zhang Jiao.
The player was killed by lightning before, but this horn also survived.
Although his vitality was weak and his body was scarred, he still had some breath.
Seeing this, Li Yan was quite happy.
This corner is the NPC with the identity of the protagonist in this dungeon.
If there had not been excessive interference from the players, Zhang Jiao would have been the one who finally gathered ten [Emperor's Dragon Qi], successfully returned to the underworld, and became an emperor again.
Of course, there are many people who can return to the earth, and he is just one of them.
But in the plot, there is always nothing wrong with following the protagonist.
Moreover, Zhang Jiao's character in this dungeon is that of a relatively decent person, who can be considered trustworthy.
If Li Yan and the two saved his life, at least they would never be repaid with kindness.
You can even put on a layer of disguise for yourself to better hide your identity as a player.
Thinking of this, Li Yan simply took out a cross from his backpack and placed it in Zhang Jiao's hand.
【Silver Cross】
[Type: off-hand equipment]
[Requirements: Human race]
[Effect 1: Can emit a light of sacred attributes, causing damage to the enemy. (Power is affected by the user’s star rating)]
[Xiaogang 2: Slowly heal the user's injuries. 】
[Description: Amen. . . . Ah Qian, a grapevine~]
This cross will be effective as long as it is a human being. It does not indicate that it must be a player, so Zhang Jiao is also affected by the effect of the cross.
Holding this cross, Zhang Jiao's injuries healed faster, and at the same time, his vitality was slowly restored.
No, in just half an hour, he had recovered from the brink of death and was now barely able to move.
"Ahem... Poor Zhang Jiao, thank you two for saving my life..." Zhang Jiao raised his head with difficulty, looked at Li Yan and Qian Pangpang, and said thank you.
Li Yan nodded with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "It's easy, Taoist priest, you don't have to be polite."
Seeing this, Zhang Jiao stopped saying any more polite words.
Then, he slowly raised his hand and struck a blow.
Suddenly, water vapor rose, and a water ball slowly condensed in front of Zhang Jiao's eyes.
Zhang Jiao took out a talisman from his arms and waved his hand in mid-air.
The talisman ignited spontaneously without fire and slowly turned into ashes.
Zhang Jiao stretched out his palm, pushed it gently in front of the ashes, and threw the paper ashes with some flames into the water.
Suddenly, the water seemed to be white and shiny, as if it had been added to the color.
Zhang Jiao leaned forward slightly, sucked lightly on the water ball, sucked the water into his mouth, and swallowed it in three mouthfuls.
This thing is Zhang Jiao's famous [Fu Shui].
Drawing talismans or burning talismans in water and drinking them can heal wounds and diseases.
All the "gods" in the world return to fire, and all the "essences" in the world return to water. Water and fire are both harmonious, and all things are harmonious.
Laozi said: "The best thing is like water. Water is good for all things and benefits all things without fighting. It is what everyone hates, so it is almost in line with the Tao."
Since ancient times, all Taoists and great virtues have mastered the method of "superior water control". This is the ancient and mysterious "Water Talisman" in China.
After swallowing three mouthfuls of ash-filled water, Zhang Jiao's complexion immediately improved.
Not only did the wounds on his body heal faster, but his face even turned a lot rosier.
In real history, Zhang Jiao's talisman water may be a lie, but in the game, this talisman water still looks very effective.
From the body to the spirit, this is the amount of a small bowl, and it has recovered fifty-six percent directly.
You know, Zhang Jiao was a dying man who had difficulty speaking and breathing.
But as soon as he drank the talisman water, he was able to jump around almost instantly.
Li Yan had no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but admire and praise in his heart:
"Awesome! Awesome!"
But it's a pity that Li Yan probably can't learn this kind of talisman. Even if he does learn it, he probably won't have such good results.
Because Zhang Jiao Fu Shui's famous saying is: "Teach the patient to kowtow and think about his faults, so he drinks it with Fu Shui. If he gets sick or recovers as time passes, it is said that this person believes in the Tao; if he does not recover, it is said that he does not believe in the Tao."
If it is cured, it means you are pious; if it is not cured, it means you are not pious enough.
Isn’t this such a big liar?
It is estimated that in the game, if this talisman water can really be converted into a skill, the healing effect will inevitably be reduced a lot.
Just like in the previous game, the cross would be extremely powerful in the hands of the monks, but in the hands of the players, it would only have a small part of the power.
Therefore, although Li Yan was envious, it was just envy.
As for killing Zhang Jiao and exploding equipment, that was something only a fool would do.
In the game "Infinite", it is very realistic.
After an NPC dies, there is a slight possibility that the items on it will drop and be converted into game props and equipment that can be used by players.
But skills are absolutely impossible to drop.
Just like in real life, if a cook dies, the kitchen knife in his hand can be taken away, but will a cooking skill book still fall out?
All skills can only be obtained through system learning or by opening skill books from treasure chests.
