The Real Plague Village

Frenzied Hand was originally a hostile Tarnished template in the Elden Ring DLC.

It has now been temporarily taken over by Gong Qiying.

The moment she clashed with Lu Lu Wo, the intruder known as the Frenzied Hand slapped [Painting World: Plague Village] onto her face.

The next moment, Lu Lu Wo was teleported to another world without any chance to fight back, completely unable to react to the fact that the intruder could perform such a miraculous operation.

This is truly eye-opening.

The witnesses were immediately transported back to the Ghost Hand that slapped people's faces in the Catacombs of Carthus [Painting World: The Sain Ancient City]. Ta Mi and Elsa probably have a deep understanding of this feeling.

Therefore, when Ta Mi saw the scene before him, he was immediately PTSD. Even though he had just been hit in the chest by the Unendurable Frenzy Flame, he jumped up, took a deep breath, raised his sword, and charged towards the Frenzied Hand!

"Wait, Ta Mi, don't go over there!" Bei Er Tuo reached out to stop her, but it was too late. He clearly remembered that Ta Mi wasn't the kind of person who would act impulsively, so why was she behaving like this now? Had she been Frenzied Flame?

Bei Er Tuo was momentarily dazed when he saw the sky filled with mad Frenzied Flame. He quickly turned around and pulled Aisi and Aimu away, praying that Ta Mi's mental state would not be affected by the Frenzied Flame when he was resurrected at the Blessing Place.

Ta Mi's motive for drawing his sword and charging at the Frenzied Hand is unclear for the time being, but he has definitely not lost his mind.

He had noticed something earlier—the flames spewed out by the Frenzied Flame Frenzied Hand did not harm it; in fact, they would intentionally avoid the area, creating a small "safe zone" around Frenzied Hand.

Ta Mi's timing for his Charge was perfect. His alternating pace of fast and slow steps allowed him to enter the "safe zone" just before the next wave of attacks Frenzied Flame the patients. He would never have been able to control his speed so precisely in the past, which shows how much he has grown during this period.

Frenzied Hand's leather gloves, capable of driving people mad, suddenly reached for him, but Ta Mi naturally bent down and dodged with lightning speed, his left arm gripping the straight sword as he slashed at Frenzied Hand's unprotected abdomen.

The Frenzied Hand's speed suddenly increased at this moment. The arm that was originally attacking in other directions quickly retracted, intercepting and even knocking the straight sword away!

Just as he was triumphantly attacking Ta Mi again, the latter didn't even pick up the straight sword that had fallen to the ground. Instead, he turned around and exerted force in the direction where everyone was fleeing, as if he was about to leap out at any moment.

"?"

A question mark appeared above Frenzied Hand's head. Why was this kid able to escape so easily? Wasn't he here to attack him?

He turned his head and saw the truth.

As Ta Mi bent down, her right hand, even more agile, reached out and grabbed the painting that had fallen to the ground!

The truth has come out: he actually came back specifically to take away the Painting World!

Lu Lu Wo is right there. We can't just leave her there. What if she suffers mental breakdown from the torment in the Painting World? She needs to be treated in time!

It's probably only a kind-hearted and considerate rookie like Ta Mi who would do something like that. Bei Er Tuo and the others turned and ran with a very firm attitude because they believed that their captain was quite tough and wouldn't break no matter what.

This is the difference in experience, isn't it?

"We succeeded!"

Ta Mi let out a shout as her plan was completed, and her fingers touched the painting!

However, the moment he touched the painting, the entire scroll burst into white light, and the next second he let out a "whoosh" as he was sucked in.

"Ta Mi!"

Bei Er Tuo glanced back and exclaimed, "This Painting World actually allows two people to enter at the same time?!"

At this moment, everyone stopped in their tracks, looked at each other, and showed a fighting spirit completely different from when they fled in panic. They were determined to snatch the painting that Ta Mi was in, and their momentum suddenly turned into that of elite adventurers!

Lu Lu Wo was sucked into the unknown Painting World, doesn't need to worry. But if Ta Mi is also sucked in, then the situation is quite different and deserves serious attention.

"Everyone, get Ta Mi back!"

"Oh oh!"

Bei Er Tuo raised his arm and called out, and a crowd gathered in response.

A moment later.

One by one, pieces of the [Painting World: Plague Village] slowly drifted to the ground, Frenzied Hand clapped its hands in satisfaction.

Apart from the Frenzied Flame patients who had stopped attacking, there was no one around. Various pieces of equipment that the Skyrim Strategy Team had dropped when they were sucked into the Painting World were scattered on the ground.

If the Zane Dungeon really wanted to target a specific person or group, the Frenzied Hand it created would be enough to unleash its full power.

The Skyrim Strategy Team never expected that this naked man, who was only covered by a tattered fur coat, could pull out one [Painting World: Plague Village] after another out of thin air without stopping!

Is he some kind of Painting World wholesaler from somewhere?!

The Frenzied Hand collected the Painting World that the Skyrim Strategy Team had entered in pairs and slowly walked towards the nearest Blessing Point.

It seems he even wanted to thoughtfully place the blessing on people's plate, which is truly heartwarming.

At this moment, Lu Lu Wo felt completely exhausted.

"What's wrong with the monsters here? Why are they all so tough?"

While grumbling at a speed comparable to divine speech, she slammed her chain-bound fists into the fat monster in front of her, punching it so hard that its stomach caved in, indicating that its internal organs were definitely going to rupture.

Even with such severe injuries, the nearly three-meter-tall fat monster, covered in gray, filthy flesh and emitting a foul stench, still raised its heavy wooden club and slammed it down on Lu Lu Wo, forcing the latter to retreat and temporarily avoid its attack.

Ordinary creatures would feel pain when attacked, but the fat guys here are different. They seem to have no reaction to external attacks and don't care about their injuries until they die!

In Yugi, this would be a monster with extremely high resilience and massive health.

Unfortunately, there are many such freaks in the Plague Village!

In the pitch-black environment, where it was almost impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face, only the pitiful light from the torches could be seen. The broken wooden planks underfoot creaked and groaned. The structure Lu Lu Wo was currently in, built of broken wooden planks, seemed like it could collapse at any moment. From the Swamp below, a suffocating stench emanated, making one feel as if their lungs were about to be infected with hundreds of germs.

This is probably what hell looks like!

"Why is this place also called the Plague Village? Compared to this thing, the Plague Village we just saw was like paradise!"

Lu Lu Wo roared and knocked the fat monster in front of her to the ground. The monster finally died with a resentful roar, its fat body turning into ashes and dissipating, leaving behind alluring White Light Spot.

However, Lu Lu Wo felt no joy at all upon seeing the White Light Spot. Based on her recent experience of taking down several other fat guys, this White Light Spot was no exception.

She stepped forward and picked it up, just to give it a try.

[Poop block]

"I knew it!!!"

Her voice breaking down came from somewhere in the Plague Village.

Why does this powerful fat monster only drop pieces of poop when it dies?!

Lu Lu Wo had completely lost the desire to continue exploring and wanted to escape the Painting World by repeatedly committing suicide, following the methods circulating outside.

However, reality wouldn't let her do that. Just as she was about to commit suicide cleanly, she heard an annoying buzzing sound like flies next to her. When she turned around, she saw several flying insects that were bigger than a person's head and looked quite terrifying.

"It's just an insect."

She turned her head away and ignored the insects. Based on her past exploration experience, these insects were all thrown by the Zane Dungeon to distract people from their explorations, and they had no offensive power at all.

"Pfft—"

The next moment, the insect sprayed a mixture of Frenzied Flame and poisonous water—it was hard to tell whether it was liquid or flame—on Lu Lu Wo.

"."

Why would an insect spew Frenzied Flame?

The mental burning from the Frenzied Flame and the corrosive effects of the poison caused her to cry out in pain in the blink of an eye. Immediately, she was enraged and transformed into a furious Lu Lu Wo. She strode towards the giant insects, vowing to tear them to pieces!

The giant worm naturally turned and ran, while the adventurer's footsteps creaked and groaned on the wooden planks that would never pass quality inspection.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from somewhere. Lu Lu Wo raised her hand to block it and firmly caught a sharp needle.

She immediately laughed, muttering to herself, "I knew these bugs were a trap to lure me here. Zane Dungeon, I'm tired of your tricks, ouch ouch ouch—"

Before Lu Lu Wo could finish speaking, she quickly flung away the flying needles, which were coated with a potent toxin that made her feel an unbearable burning sensation just by touching them.

Looking further ahead, she saw several gaunt Living Dead hiding behind the wooden planks, each holding a blowpipe, about to blow poisoned arrows at her!

In the past, she could have easily handled this situation, but now many of the chains had been burned by the Frenzied Flame, and the remaining enemies who could not reach her from her position with their blowguns had to run a few more steps forward.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

When a barrage of poisoned arrows came rushing in, Lu Lu Wo focused her attention completely, desperately twisting her pitifully short chain to defend herself. After much deliberation, she finally managed to block all the poisoned arrows, but at that moment, those giant insects suddenly attacked her from behind.

Did you think I didn't notice?

She swung her hand and killed a swarm of large insects, then flicked her chain to pick up the specks of light that the insects had dropped, which were still within reach of her chain.

[Poison Purple Moss Ball]

[Moss Ball have therapeutic effects and can relieve poisoning]

"Great! "Lu Lu Wo's face lit up with joy. She remembered that these Moss Ball could be used to treat poisoning, and one ball could completely neutralize all the toxins.

The blowgun monsters had increased their numbers, forming what looked like a machine gun emplacement. But Lu Lu Wo, who had an antidote, was no longer worried. She broke free of her chains and charged forward. She tried her best to dodge the barrage of poison arrows, but even then, some still managed to slip through her defenses.

Almost instantly, she was poisoned and her life force rapidly diminished.

If this were Yugi, a notification would likely pop up saying, "You've been poisoned!"

Hmm? Why does this poison seem more potent?

Don't worry, she Poison Purple Moss Ball on her body!

Lu Lu Wo confidently swallowed the purple Moss Ball, ready to launch an attack on the blowgun-wielding enemy.

The next second, a mouthful of murky blood suddenly spurted from her mouth, her knees buckled, and she immediately knelt on the ground.

"Huh?"

Lu Lu Wo's eyes were full of confusion. What was going on? The toxins in her body had not disappeared at all.

Why is our vitality being lost faster and faster?

My body feels so heavy, I can't lift my arms, and everything in front of me is getting darker and darker.

The blowgun demons surrounded her from all sides as she gradually lost the ability to fight back. They all drew their daggers. Lu Lu Wo used her last bit of strength to kill a few of them, but she still couldn't escape being ganged up on.

In the moments before she died, she caught a glimmer of light dropped by a blowgun demon.

[Poison Purple Flower Moss Ball]

Moss Ball, with their potent medicinal properties, can treat highly toxic substances.

Moss Ball without flowers are completely immune to the poison; whether or not one possesses Moss Ball with flowers may determine life or death.

The moment Lu Lu Wo saw the item description, she understood everything.

No wonder this toxin was exceptionally potent; no wonder the Poison Purple Moss Ball I ate earlier were completely ineffective; no wonder...

"Damn it—"

A ghost, the resentful ghost of an adventurer, floats above the Plague Village.
