"If that's what it does, then I do remember it."
"Someone did get this skill in my previous life... I just didn't know its name."
"So that's what it's called."
After learning the skill, Qin Feng entered stealth again.
Gu Yixue might have been envious, but she hadn't forgotten her duty.
She kept her eyes on Song Fei and the girls around him the entire time.
After acquiring Blooming Curse, Qin Feng continued racing toward the riverbank where Song Fei was.
He was incredibly fast!
At his current running speed, he could cover a hundred meters in roughly three seconds.
The distance between him and Song Fei grew smaller and smaller...
At that moment, Song Fei was fighting a level 7 Bronze Grade boss, the Corrosive Demon Claw, by the river.
Just as he was about to strike the boss with the finishing blow, a voice suddenly sounded beside his ear again. "Just letting you know: you're about to die."
"Holy shit!"
Song Fei jumped in fright and ran forward without even looking back.
A Deadly Poison Dart instantly tore through the air and struck the back of his head.
-2115 (weak-point attack)!
Since Qin Feng's Deadly Poison Dart was only Silver Grade at present, its damage seemed lower than that of his Epic Grade Instant Shadow Slash.
But it was more than enough to deal with Song Fei.
The squishy little mage didn't even have a thousand HP in total.
Besides...
Qin Feng's Deadly Poison Dart also inflicted ongoing deadly poison damage.
Even if Song Fei had five times as much HP, he couldn't have survived this attack!
"Are you fucking out of your mind?!"
Song Fei's vision went black, and he verged on losing his mind.
He had actually been wondering the whole time whether Dark Shadow would come to kill him.
He figured that since they had no quarrel, the man wouldn't keep targeting him!
But now...
Sure enough, Dark Shadow had killed him again!
That convinced him that Dark Shadow had something seriously wrong with his head!
Why did he keep targeting him?!
Because I have more girls around me?
He's jealous of me?
Song Fei was on the verge of breaking down.
Now he was finally certain that Dark Shadow was out to get him!
He might even have come to our Firefly Town because of me...
Song Fei knew that, on the surface, he had never offended Dark Shadow, but he knew how "charming" he was.
His two and a half years as a trainee had earned him a huge following of female fans.
Is the woman you're simping for one of my fans?
What the fuck does that have to do with me?
Song Fei couldn't help thinking this, feeling so miserable he could barely cry.
In their old society, he wouldn't have been afraid of something like this.
After all, Great Xia had laws.
But in the Godforsaken Game...
Great Xia's laws couldn't restrain anyone at all!
So that's what this is. Dark Shadow's just a pathetic loser who can't get a woman, and he's blaming me?
Song Fei sneered, his opinion of Dark Shadow dropping several notches...
But regardless of what he thought, he lost half of his tradable lifespan again!
He had originally had two thousand days, which had fallen to a little over five hundred after two deaths. But when he ventured out this time, the girls around him had given him another three hundred days of lifespan.
That brought his total tradable lifespan to over eight hundred days!
However...
Song Fei soon noticed that something seemed wrong with his tradable lifespan.
He had originally had 860 days. Losing half upon death should have left him with 430.
But now...
"Why do I have less than 400 days left? And why does it keep going down?"
Song Fei was stunned!
He watched helplessly as his tradable lifespan fell from 390 days to 380, then to 370...
It just kept dropping!
"What the fuck is going on?"
"Is this another penalty for dying too many times?"
Soon, Qin Feng killed the girls around him and sent them back as well.
They all chattered in panic. "Something's wrong! Dark Shadow used a skill, and a blood-red flower appeared on your corpse! It looks like it's absorbing something from you!"
Hearing this, Song Fei sucked in a sharp breath.
"A flower grew on my corpse?!"
"That flower's draining my lifespan?!"
Song Fei broke down on the spot!
He realized that Dark Shadow's methods were even more vicious than he had imagined!
At the site of Song Fei's death, beside the river.
Qin Feng emerged from stealth alone.
Song Fei and the thirty-odd girls around him had all become corpses.
Killing so many people at once again had brought Qin Feng's Killer debuff straight up to four stacks!
At four stacks of Killer, death would cost him 96.875% of his current lifespan!
That was practically all of it.
For other players, this was an absolutely brutal debuff.
But Qin Feng didn't care.
After all, he had the Ghostfire Bell, which prevented him from losing any lifespan upon death, completely negating the Killer debuff!
Corpses littered the riverbank.
A blood-red flower had bloomed on every corpse.
"These flowers' HP seems to depend on the level of the corpse they're growing on?"
"The flower on Song Fei's corpse has 3,600 HP, and he's level 6."
"The flowers on the other women's corpses have 1,600 HP at level 4 and 2,500 at level 5... It must be proportional to the square of their level."
At present, other players would have a hard time destroying these flowers.
But once players' damage output increased, destroying the flowers would be fairly easy.
So this Jadeite Tier skill, Blooming Curse, wasn't all that invincible.
Still, the same principle applied.
As long as Qin Feng killed everyone, no one would be able to destroy these blood-red flowers!
Even Qin Feng was a little awed by the sight of over thirty blood-red flowers draining these players' tradable lifespan together.
"Another thousand days of lifespan. These people really killed a lot of monsters!"
Gu Yixue witnessed the scene as well.
She switched to her White Bird's vision, looking down from high in the sky and taking in everything.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
"So this is how strong Dark Shadow is?"
"He wiped out Song Fei's entire group single-handedly! They couldn't fight back at all!"
"And what's with those little red flowers on the corpses? They look so creepy..."
Watching the scene, Gu Yixue seemed a little frightened.
Her delicate frame trembled involuntarily beneath her white robe.
This expert was incredible!
Song Fei was terribly unlucky to have provoked him!
"Fuck this. I'm logging out!"
Song Fei had originally planned to push straight to level 10 and overtake Dark Shadow.
Instead, Dark Shadow had killed him three times in a row!
Although dying in the Godforsaken Game didn't cost levels, all his tradable lifespan was gone!
After he had been killed and sent back, the Death Flower drained his lifespan. In just one minute, it sucked away all his tradable lifespan!
Even his non-tradable lifespan was nearly gone!
"If he keeps killing me, I'll run out of lifespan..."
Song Fei realized how serious the situation was!
