"My devout believers!"
"The evil Two-legged Sheep are slandering your great Ancestor God!"
"My believers, can you endure such humiliation?"
"Say it loud and clear!"
In the Primordial Spirit Domain, Ma Baoguo floated in the void, his whole body radiating a sacred aura.
Below him was the Scorpion Lion Race.
Hearing their Ancestor God's divine proclamation, the Scorpion Lions all roared in fury!
"Duoxiba!"
Their cries grew louder with each wave, surging straight into the clouds.
"Duoxiba" meant "no" in the human language!
Clearly, these low-intelligence Scorpion Lions had been thoroughly enraged.
Their Ancestor God was so great.
How dare those weak Two-legged Sheep slander their Ancestor God?
The Scorpion Lions wanted nothing more than to tear those Two-legged Sheep to shreds at once!
"Good! You truly are my devout believers!"
"Those vile and evil Two-legged Sheep will surely face the thunderous punishment of the great Ancestor God—Baoguo Buyaolianpi Meiyoujiecai Ma!"
"Now, take up your weapons and defend the dignity of your Ancestor God!"
Ma Baoguo's voice was full of temptation.
On the ground, the Scorpion Lions were already bellowing, their intense killing intent bursting out of them!
Ma Baoguo was thoroughly pleased with what he saw!
He swept his sleeve and shouted.
"Go! Tear those detestable Two-legged Sheep to pieces!"
As his voice fell, the Scorpion Lions howled and surged forward like a swarm.
In the woods around Lingxiao Immortal Palace.
Ye Nima directed a group of players as they frantically dug traps.
Seeing that the work was nearly finished, Ye Nima looked at a player whose ID was Cannot Eat Peach.
"Taozi, you're alert. Go scout ahead!"
"See if that Ma Baoguo guy has shown up!"
At his words, Cannot Eat Peach nodded.
This was right up his alley!
Without delay, Cannot Eat Peach quickly plunged into the woods ahead.
After advancing a few hundred meters or so.
Cannot Eat Peach suddenly heard a whoosh overhead.
Before he could react, his body had already left the ground against his will.
"Holy crap! What..."
Cannot Eat Peach was startled.
Only then did he realize that a monster had grabbed him and carried him into the air.
The monster had a pair of wings on its back, but its body was shaped like a lion. A huge hook grew from the end of its long tail.
"A Scorpion Lion?"
As an old hand who had played dozens of games, Cannot Eat Peach immediately recognized the creature.
Scorpion Lions were a species that had appeared in an extremely old game.
"My god, there are Scorpion Lions in a cultivation game? This feels so fantastical!"
Cannot Eat Peach paused, then exclaimed in amazement.
As for being carried into the air by a Scorpion Lion?
He didn't care.
It was just a game. It wasn't like he could die for real.
At worst, he'd lose a little experience when he died. What was there to be afraid of?
The usually bold Taozi was actually getting excited.
Listening to the wind rushing past his ears, Taozi thought to himself,
I'm probably the first player in Immortal Path to go airborne, haha!
While the sand sculpture player Taozi was lost in thought, the Scorpion Lion carrying him had already landed.
The Scorpion Lion tossed Cannot Eat Peach onto the ground.
"Damn, a Scorpion Lion den!"
Taozi wasn't scared at all. Instead, he looked around with interest.
When he saw the Scorpion Lions packed all around him, he grew even more excited.
"I actually found a monster-spawning spot!"
"When the event's over, I can come here and grind monsters. Heh heh heh!"
Cannot Eat Peach was secretly delighted.
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Human, you've been captured!"
At the sound of the voice, Cannot Eat Peach instinctively turned to look.
The next moment, a plain-looking, skinny young man came into view.
"Nani?"
Cannot Eat Peach's mouth fell open. He was stunned.
There was a human among the Scorpion Lions?
"Hey, bro!"
"Are you a player or an NPC?"
Cannot Eat Peach was beside himself with excitement. He shouted at the plain-looking young man.
The plain-looking youth was, naturally, Ma Baoguo.
At Taozi's words, Ma Baoguo's head filled with question marks.
What was this?
Why couldn't he understand what this human was saying?
What was a player?
And what was an NPC?
Could this guy have not awakened his intelligence yet?
Well, how long has Ye Yu even had his Divine Domain? His human believers are probably still living in a primitive age!
Ma Baoguo thought to himself.
He immediately cursed his bad luck.
Those Scorpion Lions really were useless. They'd actually caught a human who hadn't even awakened his intelligence. What was the point?
Ma Baoguo was an extremely cautious person.
Although he was completely confident he could hunt Ye Yu down,
even after leading the Scorpion Lions into Ye Yu's Divine Domain, he still chose to proceed carefully.
Originally, he'd wanted the Scorpion Lions to capture one of Ye Yu's believers so he could pry some useful information out of them.
But who could have guessed they'd actually catch some guy who hadn't even awakened his intelligence?
"Damn, I can't invite you to a party!"
"You wouldn't happen to be an NPC, would you?"
"My god, there's an NPC hidden here!"
Cannot Eat Peach cried out in surprise.
He had just sent Ma Baoguo a party invitation to figure out whether the plain-looking young man before him was a player or an NPC!
But the game system said they couldn't form a party.
At that, Cannot Eat Peach immediately understood.
The person before him was an NPC!
He was instantly thrilled.
Right now, Ye Yu was the only NPC the players in Immortal Path knew about.
And after Ye Yu issued a quest to clear out the Spotted wolves, he hadn't done anything else.
The Spotted wolves had long since been wiped out, so many newcomers had never even seen what a quest looked like!
Cannot Eat Peach was one of them.
If Immortal Path hadn't launched a Story Event today, Cannot Eat Peach would have thought the game didn't have any quests at all.
So now, when he suddenly saw a second NPC, his mind filled with thoughts of hidden quests, chance encounters, and all the rest.
For a moment, he even forgot about the Story Event.
Seeing Cannot Eat Peach stare fixedly at him, his eyes burning with excitement, Ma Baoguo couldn't help feeling a chill run down his back!
Damn it, I've actually been scared by a weak human!
Ma Baoguo was a little exasperated.
If he couldn't get any useful information out of this stupid human, what was the point of keeping him around?
He might as well toss him to the Scorpion Lions to eat!
As the thought flashed through his mind, Ma Baoguo was about to order the Scorpion Lions to eat Cannot Eat Peach.
Just then, Taozi suddenly sprang up.
He hurried over and grabbed Ma Baoguo, his face beaming.
"Big bro, big-shot NPC!"
"Do me a favor and give me a hidden quest to play!"
"I'm a veteran gamer, and I'm damn good at this game!"
