Table of Content | Character Guide

While Mr. Crow was violently screaming at the sky, Jin Cheng sneezed in the backyard of the hostel. He touched his nose and looked up at the sky, expecting that some bastard must be cursing him again.

Who is it?

As an elite of Zone A, Jin Cheng understood how the system worked around here. Method one: he must earnestly find the truth before Li Ying Jun killed all players, by which time Li Ying Juns strength would be greatly reduced, or method two: he must unleash a critical hit and take Li Ying Jun down completely.

The players had to pick one: either through physical strength or through intelligence.

But the current situation was very unusual. Li Ying Juns strength had indeed gone down and he was about to die, but his axe wasnt here this was likely Mr. Crows doing.

In other words, at this moment, Li Ying Jun was no longer Li Ying Jun. They had taken all sorts of precautions yet the Boss still managed to swap his body. This was borderline cheating.

And it makes me tremendously upset.

So Jin Cheng killed Li Ying Jun in one arrow.

Qian Wei and Zhao Ping hadnt come to that understanding, so they were very happy to see Li Ying Jun dead. But after a while, the announcement for clearing the game didnt come up, and the two finally realised something and turned to look at at Jin Cheng at the same time.

Jin Cheng didnt waste any words: Go straight ahead.

Two groups of people gathered in front of the sea of fire.

Tang Cuo glanced at the back: Dead?

Jin Cheng hugged his arms: Dead.

Tang Cuo: There are two more people, Xiao Yuan and Qu Li, which one do you think it is?

Jin Cheng: Its too troublesome to try to guess. Lets just kill them both.

If Wen Xiaoming was here, he would jump when he heard this. This was the way his boss was. NPCs would be replaced if they died and there would be no impact, but such a method of playing the game was debatable.

If youre like this, wont the system cry?

Tang Cuo refused to give his comment.

Jin Cheng shrugged and said: Whoever takes the axe is Li Ying Jun. Xiao Yuan goes to the forest likely to find Qu Li, then Qu Li is Li Ying Jun. Its just that she was in the same new player batch as you, can you kill her?

Tang Cuo asked back: Do you think I can?

That was a good question.

Mr. Crow had laid his hands on this dungeon, and the new Boss must be difficult to fight. With Tang Cuos current situation, it was likely that he really wouldnt be able to defeat her.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

But even if Tang Cuo couldnt kill, he could set a fire.

An Ning, make the wind bigger. He said.

Even bigger? An Ning wiped her sweat, her cheeks flushing against the heat wave.

Even bigger.

Okay.

An Ning bit her lips and used all her strength to send the wind out. To be honest, her wind-type ability so far only made her body lighter and more agile, and she might not be skilled enough to use it in actual combat. Luckily, blasting a wind was a task that didnt require much skill; she just needed to direct all her power to the front.

Whoosh The heat wave burst upward and crashed against the forest like a rushing ocean wave.

Crimson fire, black forest. The interweaving of crimson and black looked particularly dazzling against an endless stretch of white snow.

Qian Wei covered for Peng Mingfan and quickly stepped backwards to not be roasted by the fire, and he stared at Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo with awe-filled eyes arent these two big brothers no less scary than the villains?

One killed people, one burnt things. Li Ying Jun, who died in the backyard because he wanted to seek revenge for the burnt forest, now seemed like a hero who died tragically under the arrows of the villain.

Then how tiny are they in those twos eyes?

Qian Wei glanced downwards and finally found his own position the villains cannon fodder little brother.

Thats really sad, Qian Wei hugged his sword in distress. Whether he was on the good side or the bad side, he couldnt afford to spoil his sword. The equipment in Zone F couldnt handle being repaired, and the repair cost was also very high. Whoever had tried repairing their equipment would know.

But if the big brother made his order, how could the younger brother dare not follow?

Jin Cheng: Qian Wei, come back to the backyard with me.

Qian Wei: Why do we go back?

Jin Cheng smiled: The rabbit is about to run out. Lets go and wait for the rabbit. Ive seen that your sword is especially useful for slaughtering a rabbit.

Qian Wei:

A quarter later, the fire had swept through most of the forest. The twisted black branches fell down one by one into the fire, and the strange fragrance mixed with the blowing smoke to fill the entire sky above the mountains and the forests, sending an even more pungent smell into the air.

On the roof of the youth hostel.

Qian Wei wore Jin Chengs mask and held onto Jin Chengs bow as he faced the wind, the snow and the heat. He felt an overflowing grief in his heart, which was

The gross contrast between the little brother and his boss.

The boss bow felt especially heavy in his hand, but the boss mask was actually smaller than his face!

This is unfair!

Does it feel good to be tricked? Jin Cheng once again knocked Qu Li down to the ground, throwing her body several meters away into the black bear. Without waiting for the opponent to answer, he stabbed down. This suddenly made Qian Wei realise that the boss actually had countless ways to win, but he just felt like tricking her.

Didnt this location swap trick give the same outcome as Li Ying Juns body swap?

Qu Li spit out some blood and stared at him, but she couldnt let out any more words. Jin Cheng smiled and drew out his sword. Qu Li was dead. Everyone was silent.

But still no announcement came up.

Qian Wei felt as though he would go crazy soon: Is Li Ying Jun still not dead?!

The other just had a grim look on their face. Seeing Li Ying Jun dying over and over again had stretched their nerves to the extreme. But if Qu Li holding on to the axe wasnt Li Ying Jun, then who was?

Was it Xiao Yuan?

Everyones gaze fell on Xiao Yuan. Xiao Yuans expression stiffened as she shook her head repeatedly: Its not me, its really not me, what are you doing

The more she spoke, the more suspicious it felt. Was it really her? Or was it that when everyones eyesight became blurred just now, Li Ying Jun had quietly swapped bodies with someone?

Was this person among them?

Doubt inevitably bred in everyones hearts. Whether their doubt was reasonable or not, it was difficult to think clearly in a situation like this.

Peng Mingfan: Do not act rashly!

No one dared to move.

Whoever moved would look suspicious.

But Tang Cuo moved.

He walked forward, looked down at Qu Li then at the unconscious black bear, which was paralysed after knocking itself against the hostel. It was lying prominently on the ground with terrible wounds all over its body and bleeding badly.

Tang Cuo raised the axe in his hand and slashed its neck!

Ding!

The players have successfully killed Li Ying Jun and completed the mission [On A Snowy Night, He Returns] of the Blizzard Mountain Mansion series!

We will begin to calculate the rewards now.

The backyard went silent again. Peng Mingfan blinked a few times, his eyes sweeping back and forth between the black bear and Qu Lis body, and he finally understood that perhaps this last body swap occurred at the moment Qu Li hit the black bear.

The one Jin Cheng killed was the black bear.

And the one Tang Cuo killed was Li Ying Jun.

Who would have thought that Li Ying Jun would become the bear?

He could even swap bodies with bears, how outrageous. No wonder Qu Li rode a bear; it seemed that he planned to do this from the beginning. If it wasnt for Tang Cuo reacting quickly, they wouldve fallen into endless suspicion and perhaps ended up killing each other.

There was nothing but silence in the air. One by one, each of them sat down on the ground with relief, overwhelmed with different feelings.

Truth be told, this mission was unbearably heavy for players in Zone F. If it werent for Jin Cheng, they might not be able to defeat the Boss. But now that they thought about it carefully, even Zone F had many missions which ended with the whole group dying, yet a difficult mission like this one only killed two people.

This was a miracle.

Peng Mingfan pushed his glasses up as cold sweats poured down his back even after this fortunate outcome. He felt that he was too confident in the past; he wasnt smart enough, and wasnt strong enough either.

Zhao Ping couldnt help but think of Li Shuangshuang. Although this girl was a little timid and wasnt of much help, she never caused trouble. That was why Zhao Ping had been taking her along. He wondered whether the struggle Li Shuangshuang held in her eyes that day before heading to the toilet meant that she also wanted to change and make herself stronger.

Thinking so, Zhao Ping couldnt help looking up at the wildfire that had spread all over the mountain, his gaze melting into the distance.

Seeing Zhao Ping like that, Qian Wei tried to be thoughtful and patted him on the shoulder, but the others didnt speak a word. In Yong Ye City, there was always more parting than reunion.

They were lucky enough to leave this dungeon alive.

Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng watched the fire, both their faces devoid of any sentiment from beginning to end.

Suddenly, Tang Cuo asked: You said that players who failed the mission need to stay in the dungeon and serve their karma. What about those buried in the forest?

Jin Cheng looked at him for a long moment without saying a word, as if he was waiting for flowers to bloom on his face.

Tang Cuo also didnt avoid his gaze. He stared straight into Jin Chengs eyes, unfluttered. Jin Cheng couldnt help but smile: Remember what I said when I first saw you, you are actually very kind. They should be thanking you. If the trees are burnt down, they can leave the place and start serving their karma. The sooner they start, the sooner they will be free.

Tang Cuo understood.

Although Peng Mingfan and others didnt know what it meant by serving their karma, they could roughly understand Jin Chengs words. If it was a good thing to burn these trees, lets burn them.

Li Shuangshuang and Zhang Zhiqiu were also among those. It was, after all, better to be burnt than to have a tree grow above your head.

After a while, another announcement came.

In the next second, everyone went dizzy and the familiar darkness struck again. An agitated voice could be vaguely heard from within the darkness
