I rely on being an NPC to cultivate immortals [holographic]

Now that Jiang Hanting is at level 8 and Chaomu is at level 7, Nanshan thinks that he and the little boss need to stay here for a while, so he should be able to take them to level 10 and take them out of Novice Village.

Otherwise, who knows if that Young Master Wang will wait for him to leave and find trouble with his friends in a twitch?

It's a pity that, in order to protect the novice, the "monsters" near the novice village are all beasts, and almost no spirit beasts can be seen.Only by going deeper into the depths of the mountains can you occasionally meet one or two.

Therefore, Nanshan took Chaomu and Jiang Hanting to brush monsters for more than a month before he could bring them to level 10.As for himself, he also brushed monsters during the day to practice running his mind, and practiced at night, and he had already reached the second level of Qi Refining.

This made Dongli sigh inwardly, as expected of a mutant fusion spirit root.It has only been two months since they came out of Luofeng Town, and he has cultivated from the first floor of Qi Refining to the second floor like a playful game. This speed can be called heaven-defying.

Unlike him, he actually practiced more diligently than Nanshan, but his progress on the first level of Qi Refining was barely one-fifth.

But fortunately, he has searched all the mountains and hills in this area, and his proficiency in picking herbs has increased by 2800+, and his proficiency in mining has increased by 100+, and he has also purchased mountains of herbs and ores from many players. The harvest is full and the trip is worthwhile.

The only regret is that they searched for the task of [Curse] for more than a month, but there is still no progress.

In this way, they can only give up.

But just the evening before they were about to give up and leave Xinshou Village, there was an update notification on the mission: It was said that another child had disappeared!Just now!

Nanshan and the others immediately rushed to the scene of the incident, which was under a tree with osmanthus fluttering.

By the time it arrived, many players who had also accepted the [Curse] quest had gathered around here to inquire.

The village chief was there, as well as the parents who had lost their children and the enthusiastic villagers.

Everyone listened to the other children here chatting about a lot, and roughly sorted out the outline of the matter: the missing girl was a seven-year-old girl Wang Erya. In the blink of an eye, Wang Erya disappeared, leaving only a basket with sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the ground, no one saw how she disappeared.

Nan Shan and the others stepped forward and looked around carefully. Like other players, they didn't see any clues. "So, people disappeared out of thin air?"

"People disappear out of thin air? How is that possible?" Chao Mu frowned slightly, rubbing his chin, "Could it be some kind of ghost?"

After all, this game is a world of cultivating immortals, and it is normal for there to be ghosts.

"What do you think, little boss?" Nanshan turned back to look for Dongli, but saw him standing under the tree with a thoughtful face, looking up at the sweet-scented osmanthus that was full of trees.

From time to time, golden dots fell on his head and body, which was very eye-catching under the blue sky.

Dongli was actually carefully catching that faint breath, but there were too many players here and the breath was too mixed, making it difficult for him to distinguish the direction where the breath left.

Hearing Nanshan calling him, Dongli just lifted his foot and took a step towards him, when a slight breeze brought traces of clear breath.

Nanshan deserves to be the Emperor of Europe!Dongli's eyes brightened slightly, "Come with me!"

As soon as he turned his toes, he followed the breath closely.

Seeing this, the three of Nanshan hurriedly followed.

The four of them followed the breath all the way to the deep mountain, and stopped in front of a cave where weeds and thorns were overgrown.

The cave seems to be a natural cave, only about one person tall, inside it is dark and deep, and if there seems to be no cold wind blowing faintly from inside.

At this time, the sky had already started to get dark, and the inside of the cave was even darker, making it difficult to see clearly.

Nanshan took out the torches from the Qiankun bag, divided each person into one, and lit them all.

Holding a torch, Zhao Mu complained, "Doesn't our terminal have a lighting function? It's so inconvenient to hold this expedition."

"You don't understand." Nanshan thought so at first, but later realized, "Those beasts are afraid of the natural and primitive fire, but not so afraid of other light sources."

This is the experience he and the little boss gained from working in the Qianye Forest. Sometimes they find a natural cave with wild animals to spend the night. The terminal light source can't drive them away, but the torch can.

This is probably life's natural fear of primitive fire.

"Moreover, the torch can also be used as a weapon in an emergency." After all, fire can burn a lot of things, and more importantly, "Terminal lighting needs to burn experience, so it's not worth it."

"Oh!" Zhao Mu heard the words, and quickly raised the torch and turned off the terminal.His experience has just risen to level 10, so he can't burn his level backwards.

After getting ready, Nanshan walked into the cave first holding a torch, and very naturally turned around and stretched out his hand, "Little boss."

Dongli felt uneasy when he entered the dark cave alone, and naturally reached out to hold his wrist, and bent down to follow him in.

But this natural action stunned Chao Mu and Jiang Han Ting, who came in behind, for a moment. The two looked at Nanshan and Dongli delicately, and finally their eyes fell on the hands they were holding. superior.

Although Dongli held Nanshan's wrist through his clothes, he was very upright and pure, but why did they feel so... so indescribable?

It's not ambiguous, nor charming, but the kind of warmth, comfort and peace that is more touching than ambiguous and charming, as if they were born to be like this.

Therefore, this made Chao Mu and Jiang Hanting feel strange.

If these two people have played together since they were young, then they can still barely say that they have a good relationship.But is this what a player who has only played the game for a few months and an NPC should do?

However, they soon forgot about the strangeness.Because the black mist that came from nowhere gradually enveloped them, the two of them quickly held hands to prevent getting lost.

But Zhao Mu still felt his hands were empty, and when he was looking around in a panic, he saw a faint light in front of him, so he hurried forward and found that it was the entrance of a cave.

Could it be that Brother Shan and the others have all gone out?

Zhao Mu rushed forward and stepped out of the cave, but was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him!

Because there is a valley full of flowers outside the entrance of the cave, Brother Shan, who was fluttering butterflies, looked up and saw him, and beckoned him to hurry over with a smile. Brother Jiang was impatiently waving the butterflies flying around him, and the NPC was Picking herbs is so peaceful and quiet that people can't help but smile.

Zhao Mu smiled brightly and ran forward quickly...

And Jiang Hanting encountered almost the same situation, except that when he stepped out of the cave, what he saw was a hell on earth where there were mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and wild beasts.And Nanshan and the others were fighting desperately with blood and wounds all over their bodies.

Jiang Hanting's eyebrows turned cold, and he immediately rushed forward with a knife in his hand!

Both of them ignored, where did the torches in their hands go.

In the darkness, the light of the torch was almost swallowed by the darkness, and even the people around him could not see it, and the consciousness could not be swept away. This made Nanshan feel a little flustered, and he shook the hand holding his wrist with his backhand, "Little Boss ?”

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Dongli also held back his hand, and the two held their palms tightly, "It's just an illusion. If you keep the altar clear and free of distracting thoughts, it won't be able to do anything to you."

Then he thought of something and added, "Don't fall asleep."

Nanshan also thought of the fact that he fell asleep easily without distracting thoughts, and chuckled, "Then I'll practice with my eyes closed, anyway, I can't see anything, why don't you drag me away, little boss?"

"Okay." Dongli took a step forward, pulling Nanshan forward.

Nan Shan really closed his eyes and practiced with peace of mind, "Little boss, I found that there seems to be a magnetic field in it, and the consciousness cannot be released. I can't detect Chaomu and Jiang Hanting behind me, and I can't hear their voices."

It stands to reason that they all followed closely, and they should not be far apart.But when Nanshan's spiritual consciousness was explored, there was darkness and nothingness all around.

"Well, there are some naturally formed powers of law that magnify this illusion." Dongli was not affected much, and everything around him was quite clear to him. Entering an illusion, one seems to be fighting, and the other is... fluttering butterflies?"

"Ah?!" Nanshan's heart tightened when he heard that, "Then do they matter? Shall we wake them up?"

"It's useless. They entered their own state of mind, and they have to come out by themselves. Or, if we go and capture the caster, the illusion will disappear." Dongli comforted him, "You don't need to worry now, this illusion It’s not very lethal, it’s a sleep formation. After they are exhausted, they will fall asleep. When they wake up, they will come out, and they will probably be listless for a few days.”

"Oh, that's good." Nanshan felt relieved, "Then we are looking for the caster now?"

"Yeah." Dong Li paused for a moment, as if identifying it, and then said, "I found the trace of that thing, let's look for it now."

Dongli pulled him around and turned right and left for a while, and suddenly, Nanshan felt a sense of heaviness that enveloped him suddenly disappear, and his whole body became lighter.

At this time, the little boss who was pulling him away, the cool wind with a rotten smell in the cave, and the sound of gurgling water all poured into various senses. He seemed to have returned to the world from a closed dark space, and seemed to be The whole chaotic world suddenly became clear.

Nanshan felt a little bit, "Have we stepped out of the scope of illusion?"

"Yes." Dongli checked the direction, "It's probably the source of the water."

So the two of them followed the sound of the water all the way, and found a place in the suddenly bright cave. In the middle was a cold pool of water, which should have been formed by the water seeping down from the cave wall for many years.

There is a boulder in the pool, on which a person is holding a blood-stained stick with their backs on their backs, drawing a huge and strange figure on the boulder, and muttering words.

And in the middle of the boulder, that is, in the middle of the strange figure, lay a seven or eight-year-old girl with her eyes closed.

There was a small opening in the extremely high cave ceiling, and a beam of moonlight fell on the little girl. You could clearly see that she was pale, covered in blood, motionless, and didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

It seems that this man is taking the little girl's blood to do some demonic tricks. Nanshan was furious, and immediately drew his sword and jumped over, so fast that Dongli didn't stop him. Watching him slash with his sword, "You asshole……"

But when the sword was struck, it hit the stone with a "clang" and sparks were splashed, and the man turned into a mountain mouse with a "poof" at that moment, rubbed the blade of the sword with a "swish", and rushed into the ground. It disappeared in the small mountain wall gap!

Nanshan was dumbfounded for the first time when he saw a living person transforming into a monster, and then he was so angry that he took his sword and poked at the gap in the mountain wall...

Dongli raised his forehead, "Okay, let's go back."

"Oh." Nanshan put away his sword angrily, turned around and saw Dongli holding the child, and hurried over to take over. How could the little boss do such a dirty and tiring job?

Dongli also went with him and handed over the child to him.

Nanshan held the child carefully, saw the blood on her body, frowned, and asked worriedly, "Is she okay?"

Dongli glanced at the little girl lightly, "It's okay."

After speaking, he turned and walked out.

Nan Shan was startled strangely, feeling that the little boss's attitude towards the little girl was a bit cold, he didn't check the pulse and didn't give the medicine pills, it wasn't like his usual style!

However, he immediately noticed that the blood on the little girl's body was all painted on, and it seemed that there was no wound, so he felt relieved, and hurriedly followed with the child in his arms.

The two returned the same way, and found that the illusion trap was gone.Chao Mu and Jiang Hanting fainted to the ground, Nanshan went up to slap them awake one by one.

When slapping Jiang Hanting, Jiang Hanting opened his eyes murderously, jumped up and slashed at him with a knife!

Nanshan quickly hugged the child and moved aside, "I'll go! Are you sleepy?!"

Jiang Hanting was stunned for a moment, and looked around for a while before realizing his own situation. He was a little stunned, "What's going on? I was just now..."

"It's cool, isn't it?" Nanshan went to take pictures of Chaomu again, but Chaomu was sleeping soundly with a smile on his face, and refused to wake up no matter what, "This child seems to be sleeping stupidly."

Then he turned around and asked Dongli worriedly, "Little boss, why can't he wake up?"

Dongli stepped forward to check it out, "I fell into a dream too deeply, I'm stuck in it. I'll wake up when the remaining energy of the illusion is used up, it's okay."

"Oh." Nanshan called Jiang Hanting to carry Chaomu on his back, and the group hurried back.

Fortunately, on the way down the mountain, Zhao Mu woke up.After figuring out the situation, he apologized to everyone, he really almost couldn't bear to wake up from his dream.

After such a delay, when the few people rushed back to Changle Village, it was already dawn.

Early in the morning, a few people unceremoniously disturbed Qing Meng, and opened the door of the village chief's house to hand in the task.

The village chief didn't mind, and was very happy that they could complete the task and accompany them to send the child back to the home where the child was lost.

The parents of the children are also very happy. They are very grateful to Nanshan and they also gave a lot of mountain products and fruits to thank them.

However, amidst the embarrassing refusals of Nanshan and the others, Dongli pointed to the little girl who woke up and was sitting on the bed looking at this side, and said, "I think this child has good aptitude, would you like to practice spells with me? "

Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at him.

Nanshan was even more strange, the little boss was not someone who would take the initiative to approach others, no matter how talented the little girl was, she wouldn't let him speak.

Even the little girl herself blinked and looked at Dongli faintly.

Dongli smiled at her gently without changing his expression, "Are you willing to practice with me?"

The child's parents seemed to be stuck in the program, and then they were surprised and overjoyed as if they had reacted intelligently, "I am willing! Of course I am willing! It is our good fortune to be favored by immortals!"

As he said, he threw himself in front of the child, "Yaya, quickly say you are willing! Willing to practice with the immortal!"

Wang Erya blinked, then smiled sweetly, "I am willing."

Dongli also smiled softly, "Then clean up and come with us in a while."

"Hey, okay!" The child's parent nodded hurriedly, "I'll pack and prepare the luggage for the child right now!"

After finishing speaking, I went in a hurry.

Nan Shan frowned as he watched from the side, it wasn't that he didn't want to take a little girl with him.It's just...he looked at Dong Li who was whispering to the little girl and asked carefully, he always felt full of disobedience.

When he was in the cave before, he was so indifferent to the little girl, why did he suddenly become so enthusiastic?This is not in line with the character of the little boss.

With this kind of question in mind, until the village chief gave them task rewards, when they bid farewell to Changle Village and left the village, Nanshan still frowned and looked at the little girl who followed them out of the village obediently.

"What's the matter?" Dongli saw that he had been absent-minded and distracted, and he wasn't even very happy to get the city building order.

Nanshan said to him whenever he had something to say, "I always feel that something is wrong!"

Dongli smiled, "What's wrong?"

"How did we complete such a difficult task so easily?" It seemed that they didn't do anything, so Nanshan felt a little unbelievable, "It's too simple! It went so smoothly!"

Smooth to a little abnormal.

"What's the matter?" Zhaomu who also left Xinshou Village together, was used to Nanshan doing everything smoothly, "Brother Shan, you are too European!"

Even Jiang Hanting nodded in agreement.

But Nanshan didn't think that was the case, whether it was pure luck or not, he could actually feel it.But this time, he only had a sense of uneasiness and disobedience, and even a little bit of creepiness that he didn't even notice.

He couldn't say why.

Dongli smiled, and suddenly stopped and leaned over to ask the little girl, "What do you think? Do you think it went too smoothly? It went so smoothly that you can hardly hide your triumphant smile."

Everyone was shocked by what they said, and they all stopped in astonishment!

The little girl blinked innocently, but her body tensed up secretly, her smile was still innocent and sweet, "What are you talking about, little brother?"

Dongli suddenly grabbed her neck like lightning, and asked with a gentle smile, "Do you think that no one can catch you, so you are so confident?"

This sudden turn of events startled Chao Mu and Jiang Han Ting, seeing that Dong Li suddenly became like a big villain who shot and killed children, they froze in place in astonishment.

Nanshan, on the other hand, immediately drew his sword to the little girl's heart without even thinking about it, and asked seriously, "Little boss? Does she have a problem?!"

In fact, the little girl wanted to retreat suddenly when Dongli made a sudden move.But she didn't get past Dongli, so she continued to pretend innocent, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L L L L L L L I WILL NOT GO WITH YOU!"

Dong Li chuckled with a "huh", "Since I've planned to bring you out, then don't even think about leaving."

Saying that, the other hand quickly flipped over and took out a small transparent jade-like card, and slapped it directly on the little girl's forehead!

The next second, with a shocked scream, the little girl turned into a puff of black smoke and was sucked into the small transparent card!

The others became stunned and shocked. jpg.

Nan Shan also swallowed his saliva, "What...what's going on? Then, what is that?"

Depend on!How could they have lived so long with a seemingly inhuman thing without knowing it? !No wonder he always felt hairy and unspeakably uneasy.

Dong Li calmly sealed the small transparent card filled with black mist into a small jade-colored box, put it in the storage ring, and raised his eyes to explain, "It's not a thing."

As he spoke, he signaled everyone to talk while walking.

The three of them were still a little unresponsive, and followed Dongli in a daze, listening to his explanation, "Of course, it is not a person, let alone a monster. It is just a power of law that swallows up the consciousness of many creatures." And grow into a spirit."

This kind of spirit of law, he had only seen related introductions in ancient books before.But that's like a legend, never heard of in reality.Unexpectedly, there is really something.

"Ling?" Nanshan walked beside him and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Dongli thought for a while and explained, "It itself is a magnetic field energy body with the power of law. It may have been precipitated for a long time, and the perception of plants and animals and the soul of animals are constantly integrated in it. If there are more perceptions, it will gradually produce self-awareness."

In fact, Dongli is more suspicious. It may be that this energy body, which had a little weak perception at the beginning, absorbed NPC, a highly intelligent energy body with a lot of knowledge information, by chance more than 30 years ago, so that it was produced. Complete self-awareness, thus giving birth to the spirit.

If not, with this kind of magnetic field energy, even after tens of thousands of years, it may not necessarily produce self-awareness and grow into a spirit.

Nanshan didn't understand very well, "Then what does this have to do with the disappearance of the children in the village? That little girl is obviously a n...a person, why did she suddenly become a spirit? Was she possessed?"

"The little girl we brought out was transformed by it." Dongli explained, "Including the person we saw in the cave who drew the formation with blood, and the mountain mouse, it was transformed with a touch of energy It's just an illusion."

"No wonder you told me not to chase that mountain mouse..." Nanshan finally understood, and then asked again, "But why did it make those illusions? What is the purpose of deceiving us?"

"Naturally lead us to bring it out as an innocent victim, but blur the perpetrator into a fine mountain mouse, and we will not pursue it again."

In fact, Dongli is more inclined to hide in the crowd with an aboveboard identity.Otherwise, it devoured NPCs before, and the officials and masterminds couldn't do anything about it and couldn't detect it. It can continue to grow stronger like this.

Therefore, Dongli has reason to suspect, "Even, the scent I caught under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was intentionally left by it. It was set up by it from beginning to end."

Its target may have shifted from ordinary NPCs to monks.Because a monk is a larger energy body.

Nanshan was stunned when he heard that, "It's so smart?!"

Dongli smiled, "Because it ate people's brains."

To be precise, it devoured the NPC's intelligent program and data repository.

And the intelligence set by the NPC program has always been very high, and the database is complete, so it has high intelligence, can imitate, can pretend, so clever and cunning.

Nanshan and the other two subconsciously touched their heads, a little frightened, "So it pretends to eat more people's brains?"

Seeing their frightened looks, Dongli smiled, "Probably so."

A spirit like this who is born unable to generate consciousness by itself devours biological consciousness to improve its understanding of the world, and absorbs energy to strengthen itself.

Presumably, this is the reason why it couldn't wait to come out just after becoming a spirit?

"So," Nan Shan looked a bit unbearable, "The real little girl was eaten by it?"

Dongli thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "You can also say that."

In fact, it should be called assimilation.

If we say that NPC is a man-made energy life form.It is also energy, but it imitates the principle of NPC formation, and forms an energy life body with the same structure by itself.

That same energy life form, it devours and fuses the energy of the NPC, carries the code of the NPC, absorbs the memory in the program, and merges with the NPC, which is a perfect replacement.

In other words, it is the little girl NPC now, and the NPC little girl is also it, and it can completely hide the truth.Therefore, even the main brain could not detect the abnormality before, and would judge the task to be completed.

It's just that, even the main brain hasn't noticed it yet, it's not under the control of the main brain at all.

But these can't be explained to them for the time being, so Dongli didn't say much.

Nan Shan was silent for a while, then asked again, "That's why you tricked it out of your plan, because you were afraid that it would eat people from Changle Village?"

"Yeah." Dong Li nodded lightly, which was indeed one of the reasons, "If not, it would eat up the entire village overnight, and it would be so powerful that no one could deal with it."

The three of Nanshan were a little scared when they heard it, and even wanted to wipe off their cold sweat, "Then what are you going to do with it now? It is a spirit produced by energy, can it be destroyed?"

"Not for the time being." Even if it could, Dongli didn't intend to destroy it.Although he doesn't quite know what the use of the spirit of law is, he feels that its effect is no worse than the treasure of heaven and earth, "Let's close it first."

It was also unlucky that it bumped into his hand just as it took shape.

Hearing the words, Nanshan explained with some concern, "Then you should be careful, don't let it escape, and don't be eaten back by it."

Dongli nodded slightly, "I know."

While speaking, he had reached a fork in the road.

Everyone stopped, and Nanshan looked at Chaomu and Jiang Hanting, "Follow the instructions of the job transfer task, report to the academy by yourself, I won't send you there."

"Ah?!" Zhao Mu was startled, "Brother Shan, won't you send us there?! It's a thousand kilometers to the school from here! We can walk on two legs by ourselves? How long will it take?! We'll break our legs !"

Nanshan didn't think so, "You can take a carriage or a boat, and you don't have to walk on two legs. Besides, you can also see the customs and customs along the way and gain experience, isn't it good?"

"Not good!" Chaomu shook his head without thinking, "Can't you fly with Yujian? I want to be a trapeze man. Let me experience what it's like to fly with Yujian!"

Nanshan was unmoved, "You will do it yourself in the future, so why worry!"

"But now I want you to take me to fly!" Chaomu was too curious about how Yujian was flying!

"Wonderful idea!" Nanshan refused politely, "This man's flying sword is like a personal flying machine, and he cannot share it with his wife."

Chao Mu immediately felt disgusted, "Which era did you unearth this ancient idea? Is it earthy or not?!"

"You don't care about me?!" Nanshan flung out the flying sword, jumped up and called Dongli to go up, and then waved at the two little friends who were thrown down by him, "Let's go first."

After finishing speaking, he shot his sword into the sky, turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Such a blatantly large-scale double-standard scene made people dumbfounded.After a while, he turned his head and asked Jiang Hanting in a daze, "So, is the NPC his wife?"

Doesn't it mean that non-wives can't carry it?

Jiang Hanting was silent, turned around and walked towards the main road, "The paper man's wife is also a wife."

Chao Mu was speechless for a moment, speechless.

After all, he also raised several paper man wives.

The author has something to say: Nanshan: I got it, hehehe ヾ(≧≦*)ヾ
