Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Task Completed? (Asking for recommendations, collection, and follow)

Upon hearing this, Li Changhe paused. Was this... letting Xiao Nan deal with the two-segmented corpse?

Holy crap! Is she even capable of handling it?

"Wait, have you figured out a solution?" Holding back his surprise, Li Changhe said calmly, "Even if we know it’s a two-segmented corpse, it’s still difficult for us to solve the problem with our current level and strength. The two-segmented corpse isn’t defenseless. Since it can’t attack us, it must have done something at the school gate to prevent you from killing it. Magic equipment, no matter how powerful, shouldn’t be able to break that limit, right?"

Indeed, the challenge before them was that the [Players] capable of killing the two-segmented corpse had been restricted. And Li Changhe, who wasn’t restricted, didn’t have the ability to deal with it, even with the help of Yun Ting. A monster of this size required heavy weapons or powerful skills.

Yang Dong’s firepower was meant to counter his own title skill. He had ammunition but no guns. The others were in similar situations. Who would have thought to bring weapons for their teammates?

Laughing Gentleman did have some firearms, but their power was clearly insufficient.

That’s where they were stuck. Now hearing Yang Dong ask Xiao Nan to take action, Li Changhe couldn’t help but question it.

"The two-segmented corpse appeared because of Yanyun’s geographical transformation. To kill it, we need to reverse this process, using a river to sever its connection to its lower half again," Yang Dong glanced at him and said with a faint smile, "If Eight-direction Bro had to deal with the two-segmented corpse, how would you choose to do it?"

"Are you still testing me?" Li Changhe thought to himself.

"If I had enough firepower, I’d blow up all the sewers and water pipes along the way. The [Evolution Game] wouldn’t design a fatal task for us. There must be a sewer or water pipe with abundant water in this area. As long as we form a river again, or meet the metaphysical conditions for severing the resentment of the two-segmented corpse, the restriction preventing you from killing it should be lifted. In any case, this is an instance task, so whatever happens here won’t have a big impact on the outside world."

An undoubtedly evil plan.

Yang Dong smiled faintly, "Eight-direction Bro, consider joining [Great Wall] when you have time. Your character might be quite popular with the Strategy Group. Your method is not bad, but... Given our current abilities, it’s difficult to accomplish that. I brought a lot of firepower, but there’s not enough time to blow up this entire area... So just listen to me this time. The power of magic equipment is far beyond your imagination!"

As his words fell, Laughing Gentleman, who had been resting on the side, slowly stood up. After a period of rest, she seemed to have returned to her peak.

As she got up, the air around them gradually became damp and cold.

Even the ghost Yun Ting, who was possessing Li Changhe, frowned slightly, "Your childhood friend is quite extraordinary... Is she still human?"

Having existed for over twenty years, the ghost could sense that Xiao Nan was emanating an abnormal aura that wasn’t supposed to belong to humans.

Li Changhe didn’t respond to the question in his mind, as he was also quite stunned at the moment. He hadn’t had much time to examine the so-called magic equipment in the past due to the urgency of the situation.

But now, the familiar girl in front of him had suddenly turned into something he couldn’t understand or measure.

Her Great Wall Windbreaker had transformed into a tight-fitting blue scale armor with a magnificent water mantle draped over her shoulders. Her soft black hair was held in place by an ancient crown, and the loose strands draped over her snow-white back, exuding an air of majesty and charm.

In her hands appeared a two-handed sword wrapped in water currents. Just standing there, she seemed like someone who rules the world!

Invisible Red Dust narrowed his eyes, "The ability of the Demon God Bain is... I see! No wonder I heard that a single [Great Wall] member turned the tide in the [Caribbean] scenario mission’s naval battle. Was it this magic equipment they were talking about?"

Earth Knight shook his head slightly, "After all, it’s a special skill... Which one is weak? The holders of the twelve Round Table titles can fight a thousand enemies in the scenario missions’ battlefields. From the moment they gain their special skills, they can be considered chosen by destiny. That’s fate..."

"Fate... Heh!" Invisible Red Dust stared at Laughing Gentleman’s figure with a slightly blurred gaze, which eventually turned fierce.

Li Changhe didn’t notice this, but watched as the familiar figure slowly floated into the sky, a huge six-pointed star pattern appearing behind her.

[Magic Equipment Bain Special Skill: Water God Calls the Sea]

[Effect: Utilize all nearby water elements, transform into any shape, and launch a powerful attack]

[Consumption: 10% to 90% energy, chosen by the user]

As Laughing Gentleman raised her two-handed sword, the entire old school area began to tremble. The next second, several massive torrents of water erupted from the ground, rapidly flowing around the two-segmented corpse.

Li Changhe stared blankly at the girl in the sky who seemed to have gained divine authority, finding it hard to believe that she was the girl he had always been protecting and taking care of.

"She’s already... so strong," Li Changhe whispered to himself, "Does she still need my protection?"

Suddenly, he realized how ridiculous his actions had been. What was he doing? Protecting his friend Xiao Nan? She... she was already far stronger than he was.

He wondered if Xiao Nan laughed at him in her heart when she watched him jumping and running around. Li Changhe felt a bit melancholy at the thought.

Ghost Yun Ting frowned slightly. She couldn’t always see what Li Changhe was thinking, but at this moment, she felt his mood had worsened.

"Bain can manipulate water or H2O, even the water in the air. She can forcibly convert it into liquid water with a high cost." Yang Dong continued, "If the two-segmented corpse had met anyone else, it would have stopped them, but it was unlucky to run into Laughing Gentleman with magic equipment."

After he finished speaking, the [Players], including Li Changhe, paused all at once.

The image of the [Basement] began to appear in their minds. The method of the two-segmented corpse was starting to fail! Everyone’s memory was no longer affected!

After using the [Phantom Eye] again, Invisible Red Dust immediately nodded, "The Qi has been cut off! Start our attack now!"

Yang Dong raised an eyebrow and waved his hand. Spatial fluctuations appeared all around him, and huge artillery shells gradually emerged.

[Battlefield Fortress] activated.

Feeling the danger approaching, the massive, stagnant body of the two-segmented corpse began to move. Its nearly ten-meter-long skeletal arm swayed and tried to grab the floating Laughing Gentleman. It looked terrifying at first glance.

However, after Yang Dong snapped his fingers with a smile, seven flashes of fire suddenly burst from the spatial fluctuations around him. In an instant, the two-segmented corpse was torn to pieces. The huge black skeleton was cut, crushed, and exploded like chopsticks by the flames!

Seven salvos from the main cannons of a ship weren’t just for show.

"If I hadn’t been restricted earlier, do you think I couldn’t have killed you back then?" Yang Dong said casually, as if he hadn’t been tense at all before.

[Task Progress 3/3]

[Task completed, will leave the instance in one minute]
