The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Under the scorching flames, the goose yellow skin turns a ripe orange-red color, the moisture evaporates, the skin cracks, revealing the flesh that exudes a sweet aroma, which means it's ready.

"It's ready. Try it. Be careful of the heat." Yi Ming handed it to the evil ghost to try, and gave a timely reminder.

You Mu took the bamboo stick, first put his nose tip to sniff it, thought it was good, then blew away the heat, used ghost energy to cool it down, and opened his mouth to taste it.

"How is it?" Yi Ming turned his head to look over. Under the light of the fire, the evil ghost's profile looked even more beautiful.

The soft, sandy flesh is juicy and melts in You Mu's mouth. It is a strange feeling, and it is indeed as the little Taoist said, sweet and delicious.

"It's okay."

Although I am reserved in my comments, the evil ghost holding the bamboo stick ate happily.

When Yi Ming saw the ghostly aura floating around the other person, he knew that the other person liked to eat roasted fruits. Without saying much, he picked up the dagger and cut up the freshly roasted chicken.

Yi Ming gave the most tender part of the chicken to the evil ghost to enjoy, and kept the part with a bitter taste of gall for himself.

Perhaps the sauce was sweet enough, so the bitterness mixed with the meat was almost nonexistent in Yi Ming's mouth.

The stomach that was bulging with wild fruits was filled with meat and heat, and the taste buds were stimulated by the aroma of oil and meat. Seeing the evil ghost picking up the pieces of meat he had cut with bamboo sticks and eating them happily, Yi Ming held the remaining chicken rack and ate it very contentedly.

The fire was flickering, Yi Ming added firewood to keep warm. Looking at the raging fire, the burning flames in his heart were stimulated to grow continuously.

In fact, now that he thinks about it, his persistence and reasons for becoming a Heavenly Master were too empty. If he wanted to eradicate the demons, there were more than just the Zhengyang Sect to go through. He also didn't need to stick to the sect and suffer humiliation everywhere.

Looking back on all this after he regained consciousness, it all seemed incredibly far-fetched.

He is not a masochist, so why should he make things difficult for himself?

That invisible thing confused his will, constrained his words and deeds, and pushed the story that had already been determined...

Yi Ming's injury this time was indeed serious. Without healing elixir, the trauma to his body would not have been able to heal in a short period of time.

Fortunately, there happened to be many unowned elixirs in the evil ghost's cave, which the ghost had no use for, so he simply removed the restrictions one by one and threw them all to Yi Ming, letting him find them and eat them himself.

Among these pills, there are many of superior quality.

With multiple cycles of memory, Yi Ming is no longer a rookie in the sect. He no longer cherishes rare and precious elixirs. He picks up the good ones and puts them into his mouth, taking care of them with his own life.

With the help of the elixir, the wound healed extremely quickly, but after several days of feeding, the evil ghost had become accustomed to hunting for food by itself, and then having the little Taoist priest roast it and eat it to fill its stomach.

This day was just like any other day. As it was almost time for dinner, the evil ghost got up to search for fresh game, and only told Yi Ming to stay in the cave.

After You Mu left, Yi Ming sat cross-legged, circulated the true energy in his body, and checked his recovery condition.

Just as the true energy started to circulate around the meridians, a familiar air wave came, the sound of wind echoed in the ears, and in the blink of an eye, the familiar cave was no longer there, and the view in front of him was transformed into a woodland on the outskirts of the city.

He was pulled by that force and appeared at the original node again.

Looking at the azure sky above his head without leaving a trace, Yi Ming did not discover anything. He was also glad that his injuries had healed and he was unable to trigger the repairing ability of the light column again.

The memory is still there, which is good news.

His body was pushed forward, and he walked from the forest to the city according to the plot. Yi Ming glanced to the side and saw a few scattered "players" in the distance without any surprise.

Ever since he discovered the anomaly in the entire world, those who called each other players have often been active within his sight.

This type of person is easy to identify because their words and actions are too obvious.

He could take this opportunity to listen to the players' words again and capture more information.

But... if I leave the cave without any warning, You Mu will definitely be angry...

He needs to finish the plot quickly and then rush back.

With something on his mind, Yi Ming quickened his pace and walked through the city gate from the suburbs covered with wild flowers into the downtown area.

"Cunxue, what is the protagonist going to do?" Qingqing was holding a bunch of flowers and plants picked from the wild in her arms, and was followed by the protagonist as if she was out for a trip with her friend.

The scenery in the holographic game was realistic and stunning. She hadn't fully understood how to play the game yet, so she just treated it as a sightseeing game.

"After Xue Cheng robbed his demon pill, the protagonist lost the chance to become Elder Xu's personal disciple. He lacked talent and could not be considered outstanding among the outer disciples. He only won the first place by relying on his diligence. If he cannot successfully advance in the next sect selection, he will be screened out and return to Xue Cheng's residence to be a kitchen errand boy, and continue to be bullied by cannon fodder."

"So, he should want to go into the city to buy some yellow talismans and cinnabar for making talisman paper, to use for self-defense in the subsequent sect selection competition. Besides, his injuries from fighting with the fox demon haven't healed yet, so he should go to the pharmacy to get one or two doses of medicinal materials. This is also the task we received from interacting with the protagonist."

Cunxue stood aside, pulling Qingqing along the road and walking forward, patiently explaining the plot.

"Stop playing. While you're waiting for the protagonist to arrive, I'll help you sort out the gameplay."

"Oh, okay, okay!" Qingqing kept working and pushed the bouquet into Cunxue's arms, intending to make a wreath while listening.

The flowers in the game are beautiful in color, fragrant, and not easy to wither. They are simply amazing. She will find a good place to take a photo with Cunxue later!

"The game currently has three modes. In the movie-watching mode, we can simply watch it as a story or a movie. We can choose a third-person perspective outside the screen, or we can follow the story line and move through different scenes as we do now. These NPCs can't see us." Cunxue opened the game's homepage interface and explained it to his friend in detail while fiddling with the box in the void.

"The second one is the immersive mode, which is also the main mode of the game. It's the one I helped you choose your talent for just now."

"We can choose our own profession and talents, and constantly upgrade and fight monsters in the world of Tianshi, which is an immersive experience. Of course, in order to obtain certain special materials and experience, we will also receive some main and side quests from the protagonist and supporting characters."

"Listen carefully!" Cunxue was sorting the bouquet of flowers. When she saw Qingqing almost fell into a ditch while making a wreath, she hurriedly pulled her back to the main road and gave her a chestnut.

"I'm listening! I'm listening!" After finishing the wreath in her hand, Qingqing tiptoed and put it on the head of the tall woman next to her.

The grass was accompanied by the fragrance of flowers. Cunxue stroked his hair, which had excellent quality in the game. He was in a good mood and continued his explanation.

"The third mode is the follower mode, which can also be a mode of teaming up with the protagonist. After getting to know the protagonist, you can send a follow request, which has a chance of being accepted by the protagonist. This is a way of following the protagonist's route. The follower mode can be carried out under the premise of the immersive mode."

"Of course, after you get involved in the protagonist's story, the main storyline won't change much. The situation will just fluctuate around those nodes. However, players themselves need to consider the risk of losing levels after death of the game body, and the problem that they may not be able to follow the story again after an interruption."

"However, it seems that no one has come up with a guide for this mode yet. Players in the gaming community say that the probability of the protagonist actively inviting or accepting an invitation is extremely low, and no one has been able to figure it out yet. We can ignore it for now."

As the two of them talked, they followed the protagonist's route and walked into the Qunqing City at the foot of the mountain. On the long stone-paved street, there were constant hawking sounds, and many NPCs came and went according to a fixed procedure.

Qingqing avoided an old NPC who was carrying a load on his shoulder and thought of the game information she had seen before.

"I was watching a video before, and the comments under the official account said that the planner seemed to be interested in adding a national production mode. Has it not been launched yet?"

"Not yet. The game has a high degree of freedom. Although this will indeed allow for more gameplay to be developed, it may lead to more bugs and the game's built-in security system will also be affected."

Speaking of this, Cunxue paused, and lowered his voice to reveal some gossip to Qingqing: "My friend's distant cousin works in this game production company, doing operations. I heard that the universal production mode in the experience server had already been launched, but because the limit of opening was too large, some bugs appeared in the NPCs inside. The system was overhauled once, so it had to be shelved temporarily."
