The Game Begins to Change
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of the wind passed by.
In the dark and damp nest.
The Blue Crucian Carp panicked and ran away without thinking.
They run incredibly fast.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Because they were too panicked.
He could even hear his own heartbeat!
This is a rare occurrence for a spirit that has achieved significant cultivation.
But he was completely unable to control his fear—
What he just witnessed was simply too terrifying! So terrifying that, driven by his supernatural instincts, he turned and ran!...
"Could it be that the boss has been possessed by evil energy?"
The Blue Crucian Carp swallowed hard.
This was something he had been worrying about day and night ever since he became a subordinate of the Fiend Demon Hu Li.
Thinking about this...
He was filled with immense regret.
If only I hadn't been so foolish as to lead my companions into that mysterious water palace.
If there is an option.
The Changle Five Immortals were unwilling to become Hu Li's puppets!
Unfortunately, it's too late now.
There's no turning back for them.
After being forced to become Hu Li's puppet.
The hands of the Changle Five Immortals were more or less stained with blood and killing.
Hu Li's murderous aura was constantly increasing their strength.
It is also secretly distorting their character.
Spirits and monsters are inherently kind.
But the evil aura of the demons can gradually erode and devour their pure and kind side.
Ultimately, its evil side, resembling that of a monster, was revealed.
Prior to this.
Blue Crucian Carp had seen a similar demon go berserk due to "Fiend Qi Infusion".
The scene was very similar to the "White Toad" he had just seen.
Especially the other person's eyes!
The Blue Crucian Carp couldn't help but tremble at the thought!
He was terrified!...
"No..."
"I absolutely can't beat the crazed boss, I have to find Red Ring Snake and the others..."
Thinking about this...
The Blue Crucian Carp quickened its pace to escape.
To his relief,
The White Toad didn't seem to catch up.
Too.
Although the White Toad is the one with the highest cultivation level among the Changle Five Immortals.
But he has always had short legs.
My legs aren't strong enough.
It's normal that they can't catch up.
The Blue Crucian Carp felt a little relieved.
The five of them were acting on Hu Li's orders.
Together, they infiltrated the Heavenly Peng Nest to search for the Fiend Demon Inner Core that the Old Heavenly Peng had swallowed years ago.
To improve search efficiency.
They were divided into three groups.
White Toad and Great Immortal Huang are a pair.
The Red Ring Snake and the Green Centipede are another group.
Because of his skill in escape techniques.
The Blue Crucian Carp were in a separate group.
It was assigned to a central scheduling position.
He had just wanted to ask the two White Toad, if they had made any discoveries.
But then I encountered that horrifying scene! Thinking of this...
The horrifying image resurfaced in the Blue Crucian Carp's mind.
He felt every single scale on his body tremble! Whoosh! Behind him.
A faint, eerie wind suddenly arose.
That's the scent of White Toad!
He really is pursuing me!
The Blue Crucian Carp panicked immediately!
He gritted his teeth and used his escape technique.
He dashed off a long way in one breath!
A few seconds later.
He was overjoyed to have sensed the positions of the red and green figures!...
"If we find them, the three of us working together have a good chance of winning!"
The Blue Crucian Carp secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There is a crossroads ahead.
The Red Ring Snake and the Green Centipede are on the right.
The Blue Crucian Carp darted away in a flash.
But in that instant.
The White Toad used some unknown method.
I found myself standing at that intersection by some strange twist of fate!
He licked his lips.
Looking at the Blue Crucian Carp with a brooding expression, he asked, "Why are you running?"
The Blue Crucian Carp let out a strange cry.
The sound immediately attracted the attention of Red and Green, who were cautiously searching for the inner core at the other end of the intersection.
They ran over in surprise.
They were sizing up the White Toad and the Blue Crucian Carp.
The Red Ring Snake hissed, "Why are you yelling so loudly?"
"Any leads?"
The White Toad shook its head indifferently.
Blue Crucian Carp felt a surge of Essence Blood rush to its head.
He suddenly pointed at the White Toad.
Then open your mouth.
But his voice was suppressed in his throat by a terrifying force!
He couldn't say a word!
And accompanied by that unstoppable force.
The Blue Crucian Carp's eyes were slightly white.
The next second.
His body froze on the spot! The White Toad remained expressionless.
The two people in red and green seemed completely oblivious to this.
The Red Ring Snake muttered, "This place is too big."
"We need to keep looking..."
"Hey crucian carp, don't you dare slack off..."
The Blue Crucian Carp nodded blankly.
He turned and left.
The others did not catch up.
only.
On the data panel.
"Hint: You have acquired the identity of a resident of Peach Blossom Mountain!"
"You have obtained the Tier II Sprite Template: Blue Crucian Carp (Eternal Joy Village)"
"Blue Crucian Carp (Roger)"
"Realm: Killing (3)"
Talent 1: Water Escape
"Water Escape: You swim incredibly fast in the water."
"Talent 2: Extreme Cold Water Bubble"
"Extreme Cold Water Bubble: You can exhale a series of Bubbles with extremely aggressive and extreme cold effects."
"Talent 3..."
Inside the Juvenile Peng Nest.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the Blue Crucian Carp had also become one of the several clones controlled by Roger.
The group appeared to still be busy searching for the location of the inner core.
But as time goes by...
The Red Ring Snake and the Green Centipede seemed to be getting increasingly agitated.
They looked somewhat uneasy.
This scene was witnessed by the White Toad.
He had a big belly.
They timed it perfectly.
Suddenly, a signal was sent! After the signal...
Less than a minute.
The four of them then regrouped near the narrow underground passage.
"Have you found anything?"
The Red Ring Snake looked expectant.
But the next second.
He frowned slightly. "Where's Little Huang?"
The White Toad said without changing its expression:
"I sent him to keep watch."
"I'm afraid that the grumpy little female bird will come back early."
"Let's not talk about him anymore."
"The moisture here is a bit excessive. I suspect there's an underground river beneath us used to conceal the aura of the inner core..."
He pointed to the ground.
"But I'm not good at digging, so you two will have to do it."
The Red Ring Snake seemed to have no suspicions.
He propped himself up and walked toward the White Toad.
at the same time.
The Blue Crucian Carp silently approached the unsuspecting Green Centipede.
The White Toad grinned.
The long tongue licked its lips.
A sense of danger is spreading.
The Red Ring Snake stopped and observed.
He was preparing to lie prone to pinpoint the exact location of the underground river.
But at that very moment...
A black aura suddenly erupted from his arm!
The same applies to the others.
Immediately afterwards.
The malevolent energy on the four men's arms quickly merged into one.
It turned into a terrifying human face!
That person was none other than Fiend Demon Hu Li whom the Changle Five Immortals had long feared!
"Red Ring Snake, Green Centipede!"
"Watch out for the White Toad and Blue Crucian Carp!"
"There's something wrong with those two!"
Hu Li suddenly appeared and issued a warning.
The White Toad looked very unwell.
"You clearly don't have any evil energy entering your mind, so why are you eating Great Immortal Huang?"
Hu Li stared coldly at the White Toad.
"And you too!"
"You were just about to report them, why did you suddenly stop?"
He then focused his attention on the Blue Crucian Carp.
"Do you intend to betray me?"
"Aren't you afraid of my ' Deathlock '?"
Hu Li's voice was sinister.
The sound echoed repeatedly in the passageway.
That sounds pretty scary.
But the White Toad remained unmoved.
He just lazily patted his stomach:
"Deathlock?"
"Just a bunch of rubbish meant to scare people."
"Why don't you try killing me?"
Blue Crucian Carp also stared at Hu Li with a mocking expression.
This was something that would have been almost impossible in the past.
Hu Li's name resounded Peach Blossom Mountain.
Even if what appears is just a clone.
That's enough to make most spirits and monsters tremble in fear!...
Hu Li looked at the two of them suspiciously.
final.
An expression of disbelief crossed his terrifying face:
"Who exactly are you two?"
"Who gave you the guts..."
"Ah--!"
Suddenly.
A bloodcurdling scream suddenly came from Hu Li's mouth.
A dark red thorn pierced the center of the malevolent aura from behind with deadly precision.
On the other side.
A giant net emitting faint fluorescent light also fell down.
The net directly bound that mass of malevolent energy!
"You..."
"You..."
Hu Li turned around in shock.
Who else could have made the move but the Red Ring Snake and the Green Centipede?
Hiss! A chill ran down my spine from behind.
But the White Toad and the Blue Crucian Carp also made their move! This mass of malevolent energy was just one of Hu Li's countless wandering souls.
In the past, his overwhelming ferocity naturally intimidated the four people.
But now.
But they were caught red-handed in a trap meticulously set by the other party!
In the blink of an eye.
Hu Li's health points had already reached zero! "You..."
"What exactly is that?"
The demon's voice trembled slightly.
His heart was filled with astonishment.
He just tried the "Deathlock".
But this restriction specifically targeting the soul failed! This was something he couldn't understand at all.
unless...
Unless!
Unless their souls no longer belong to their original masters!
That moment.
Hu Li's eyes were filled with horror.
"... Heavenly Demon!"
"You are from beyond this realm..."
pity.
The demon's voice ended there.
The next second.
The four of them gathered around without prior arrangement.
They ganged up on the dying demon and beat it up! "You talk too much nonsense..."
The four of them said the same thing in unison.
In an instant.
That malevolent aura was instantly annihilated!
"Hint: You have killed the Fiend Demon Hu Li (clone/wandering spirit)."
"Extermination Order: You have acquired Hu Li's specialty - Yang God Great Art"
"Yang God Great Art: Entrust a wisp of primordial spirit to a magical artifact (the Sun Secret Box)."
Your remaining primordial spirit will leave your body after that.
They could then walk freely under the sun without experiencing any fatigue.
In theory.
It is no different from the human body.
in addition.
You can slightly increase your primordial spirit strength (soul strength) by cultivating this specialty.
"Why?"
"This is good!"
Roger's eyes lit up.
This thing is much more powerful than the lich.
The only problem is that he needs to find out how to make the "Sun Secret Box".
Regarding this...
Roger, however, was confident.
In terms of improving strength.
His next goal is to complete the Second Ascension.
The most likely upgrade class at that time will be "Qi Refiner".
The activation of the magic weapon system was a natural consequence.
Therefore, he incorporated this specialty into the Hidden Hero Module.
After killing Hu Li You Hun, who was in charge of monitoring the "Changle Five Immortals".
Roger's tense and exciting maneuver only completed a small part.
For him.
There's nothing to be proud of in temporarily defeating Hu Li.
This guy's power inside Jade Ring Mountain is much weaker than that outside the region.
not to mention.
Four of the Changle Five Immortals are Roger's alternate accounts!
This is something Hu Li probably never imagined.
It was inevitable that he would die on the spot.
It could be part of Roger's plan.
What truly shocked the Demon King and even Peach Blossom Mountain was yet to come!
This thought came to mind.
Roger's main consciousness then skillfully withdrew from the identity of the White Toad.
We've returned to the identity selection screen!
Then they quickly got to work.
On the data panel.
"Notification: Your specialization - Hive Mind- is now active..."
"You have obtained the identity of a resident of Peach Blossom Mountain (6th one)."
"You have obtained the Tier IV Sprite Template: Zhu Lianlian (Jade Ring Mountain) / Spilled Water Flood Dragon (Tianhu Lake) / Flower Immortal (Yougu Valley)"
"You have obtained the Tier III Sprite Template: Master Xile (Four Symbols Temple) / Gold Medal Scout (Expeditionary Legion from Beyond) / Dragon Tongue Beast (Heavenly Lake) / Eight-Winged Singing Serpent (Thunder Swamp)..."
"You have obtained the Tier II Sprite Template: Village Chief Lanse (Eternal Joy Village) / Centurion Kuban (Jade Ring Mountain) / Merchant Miao Bai (Eternal Joy Village) / Tiger Crocodile (Tianhu Lake) / Flower Demon Leader (Yougu Valley)..."
"Warning: You have acquired 99 Mountain Dweller identities within the last 24 hours!"
"Warning: If you continue to acquire more, you may trigger the repulsion and malice of the Great Secret Realm's will..."
"What?!"
"You have to stop after only creating 99 identities?"
Identity selection screen.
Roger frowned slightly, clearly displeased.
However, he quickly came to terms with it.
To the natives of Peach Blossom Mountain, his behavior of frantically acquiring new identities was indeed as terrifying as "Demonic Possession."
The operation was too fast in the short term.
It is indeed easy for it to provoke rejection from the World Will.
But a world like the Peach Blossom Mountain Secret Realm.
Because it is itself a derivative of the Celestial God Game".
Strictly speaking, it does not possess the ability to truly World Will.
Therefore, Roger only needs to lay low for a while.
We'll do another round of this in a while.
Acquiring identities in an orderly and phased manner aligns with sustainable development strategies.
While draining the pond to catch all the fish might seem appealing in the short term, it's not a sustainable solution.
But it only provides temporary pleasure.
"Alright."
"Since things are getting a bit tense, we might as well stop for now."
"Let's complete the initial tasks for these 99 identities first..."
Return to the divine.
Roger quickly examined the 99 identities.
Through "Hive Mind".
All 99 identities are completing their initial tasks in an orderly manner.
Combining these identities.
Roger discovered that getting the initial mission was largely based on luck.
Most of the tasks are relatively simple.
There are also missions with very enigmatic descriptions.
It's definitely difficult to achieve 100% completion.
But Roger only needs to ensure that all the Tier IV Sprite are defeated.
For the rest, a good completion rate is all that's needed.
The 99 identities he currently possesses are still widely distributed.
The numbers and their respective powers are as follows.
"Leize (19), Tianhu (16), Yougu (9), Four Symbols Temple (11), Jade Ring Mountain (19), Eternal Joy Village (16), Mantis Demon (9), Outer Realm Sprite (1)"
"Oh..."
"My people are everywhere..."
"How can you fight me now?"
I watched as the figure of the "Mantis Princess" flashed by in the field of vision of Hive Mind.
Roger couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He knew it very well.
From the moment I encountered the "Thunder Lizard".
The nature of this game began to change...
For other 'outsiders' or 'players'.
Peach Blossom Mountain is still a turn-based RPG game.
But for Roger...
This has completely turned into an RTS game!
All he needs to do is keep building up his army (by creating new accounts)!
The two sides are not even on the same level!
Perhaps the Ether Witch is still gloating.
He thought he had found a shortcut to beat the game.
However, what she didn't know was...
Roger has completely changed his game strategy!
What Ether Witch?
What kind of Fiend Demon Hu Li?
It's all meaningless to him.
All he needs to do now is mobilize all his resources to find the Golden Carp! As long as he captures the Golden Carp...
The Peach Blossom Mountain Secret Realm will become Roger's backyard.
At that time, whether it's Hu Li, the big boss in the story background, or the Ether Witch who is one step ahead in the Twelve Keys, it will be a different story.
They're all going to suffer a setback!
"Um."
"Besides looking for Golden Carp."
"Youpeng's Dharma form is still worth nurturing..."
Roger secretly plotted in his mind.
Even though he used so many identities.
But after actually clearing the game...
There is only one Sprite Dharma Idol that can be taken away.
Based on the situation he currently has.
Juvenile Heavenly Peng is still the one with the most potential for development.
None of the other identities can compare to Youpeng in terms of potential.
Taking away more spirits is practically impossible.
unless.
Roger managed to snatch the "Fire Whirlwind" from the Ether Witch!...
"It all depends on whether she gives me that chance."
Through Hive Mind.
Roger ordered several identities within the Mantis Demon faction to take turns monitoring the Ether Witch's movements.
on the other hand.
He then began to patiently complete the tasks.
that's all.
Another 10 days have passed.
Of the first batch of 99 identities, 94 ultimately completed the task.
They have all officially integrated into Peach Blossom Mountain.
at the same time.
The second, third, and fourth batches of identities are also quietly going online.
Before we knew it.
Roger now possesses nearly 400 identities of the spirits of Peach Blossom Mountain! Through these identities...
Roger not only knew everything about Peach Blossom Mountain, but also its interior and exterior.
They even found almost all of Hu Li's spies planted within Peach Blossom Mountain!...
"In hundreds of years, there have been fewer than 40 undercover agents..."
"This Hu Li isn't all that great."
Identity selection screen.
Roger hesitated for a moment.
The main consciousness was still immersed in the "Juvenile Heavenly Peng".
"It's time to make some big moves..."
"Chronicle of Major Events in Peach Blossom Mountain: The battle line Jade Ring Mountain is in jeopardy! Golden Carp appear frequently! Rumors about the Celestial Devil Invasion are rampant!"
Recently.
Peach Blossom Mountain is in turmoil.
And as the new generation of Thunder Marsh Overlord.
It is your duty to quell the war and appease the people!
In order to achieve this goal.
Half a day later.
Your emergency operations meeting at the ' White Egret Mountain Ruins ' on the edge of Raize is about to begin.
At that time.
All the prominent figures from various factions in Peach Blossom Mountain will be present.
It was a time of great turmoil.
This meeting is bound to be eventful.
But you are fearless...
"Hint: You have arrived at the White Egret Mountain Ruins."
"All relevant personnel are present; the meeting can begin at any time!"
