I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Section 071 Flash Sale

"Open!" Liu Xi shouted softly, extending his left hand to wipe his eyes.

His eyes suddenly changed; one eye was pure white, and the other was pitch black, making him look extremely eerie.

"So this is the Yin-Yang Eye? This strange phenomenon..." Zhou Yunshen thought in astonishment.

Then, more players arrived one after another.

However, at this meeting point, there was still only Zhou Yunshen as the team leader.

After some players arrived, they pointed to the left and said, "There are other players gathering over there, a few kilometers away, but none of them look familiar to me."

Zhou Yunshen said, "Those are all foreign players. They will also participate in the operation today, but they will not be with us. They have their own independent command system."

"Why not together?" one player asked, puzzled.

Zhou Yunshen said, "Who knows? We just need to mind our own business."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "With so many of us gathered together, we're bound to attract the attention of the ghost messengers. When they appear, everyone will follow my command and use ranged attacks to deal with them!"

One player nodded to indicate that they understood.

Some players simply stood there without making any comment.

Seeing this, Zhou Yunshen sighed inwardly.

Players are not an army, so it's difficult for them to obey orders.

Moreover, he was just a temporary captain and had no real authority, making it difficult for him to win over the crowd.

But it's okay, he doesn't need everyone to listen to him, he only needs most people to listen to him.

Soon after, another player flew towards this direction.

While flying through the air, the player was shouting in panic, "Help! Help!"

But behind him was only darkness, nothing at all.

"There are ghost messengers chasing him! There are three ghost messengers in total!" Liu Xi shouted nervously, pointing at the darkness behind the player with his one black and one white eye.

"Prepare to attack!" Zhou Yunshen shouted.

One player shouted, "I can't see anything! How am I supposed to attack?"

"Yeah, how are we supposed to attack without a target?" one player chimed in.

Zhou Yunshen's eyes gleamed as he stared intently at the darkness behind the airborne player, and he said loudly, "Don't rush, gather your strength first, a target will appear soon!"

Some powerful spells require prior preparation.

For example, his Fire Python Technique requires time to build up momentum and cannot be cast instantly.

Let alone Fire Python Technique, he couldn't even cast Fire Locust Technique instantly.

As Zhou Yunshen shouted these words, some players obediently began to prepare their attacks, while others stood still, doing nothing, looking like they were watching a good show.

"Help!"

The player flying through the air was getting closer and closer to the small hill.

Zhou Yunshen finally made his move.

Instead of conjuring a fire python, he forcefully waved his hands forward, scattering dozens of sparks.

If you look closely, you'll see that these aren't sparks at all; they're clearly fire locusts glowing with light.

Under Zhou Yunshen's mental control, dozens of fire locusts traced orange-red trails in the air, swept past the player, and flew into the darkness behind him.

"burst!"

Zhou Yunshen shouted in his heart.

In an instant, bursts of bright flames exploded in the sky.

Three figures dressed in black constable uniforms emerged somewhat disheveled from the darkness, brandishing black chains to fend off the fire locusts that swarmed towards them like moths to a flame.

"Target spotted, attack!" Zhou Yunshen shouted.

"Attack!" a player shouted.

In an instant, attacks ripped through the darkness and landed on the three ghost messengers.

These attacks included frost, lightning, fire, and flying swords—a variety of attacks—and instantly engulfed the figures of the three ghost messengers.

Sold out instantly!

The three ghost messengers were killed instantly without uttering a sound!

When the strange phenomena of the attack dissipated, the ghost messengers were nowhere to be seen, leaving only the black mist drifting away.

Seeing this, Zhou Yunshen couldn't help but think to himself, "Indeed, there's strength in numbers."

With his current strength, killing three ghost messengers shouldn't be difficult, but killing them all instantly at the same time is absolutely impossible for him.

But by pooling everyone's efforts, they managed to do it.

This was achieved even though some players were just watching from the sidelines and didn't participate.

If all players participate, the power will only be greater.

"So strong... The ghost messenger was killed in an instant?" a player exclaimed in astonishment.

"They'll definitely be wiped out instantly. Don't they know how many of us there are? If so many of us attack together, who can withstand that?" another player said.

"There are 32 of us in total, but only 23 of us actually fought. The other 9 are just watching," another player said.

Those players who hadn't made a move didn't look too happy when they heard this.

"Captain, that move you just used, 'Scattering Flowers Under the Sky,' was really beautiful, like fireworks. What's the name of that move?" A player walked up to Zhou Yunshen and asked curiously.

"Set off fireworks..."

Zhou Yunshen's lips twitched slightly as he said, "This move is called the Fire Locust Technique."

As he said this, he was silently gathering new fire locusts.

There was no other way; his scattering just now had used up all the fire locusts he had previously gathered, so he had to gather new fire locusts to prepare for later.

"Attention everyone, another ghost messenger is approaching!" Liu Xi warned the crowd, his eyes, one black and one white, wide open.

Zhou Yunshen looked in the direction Liu Xi was looking, but saw nothing.

This left him feeling somewhat helpless.

Although the Xuan Yuan World is a world of immortals and heroes, the cultivation techniques here are still somewhat different from those in those immortal and hero novels.

Here, the practice method is fundamental.

Techniques and secret arts are all derived from cultivation methods.

For example, the Fire Python Technique and Fire Locust Technique he used were derived from the "Red Sun Burning Heaven Scripture".

Liu Xi's ability to see ghosts was also derived from the cultivation technique he practiced.

His "Red Sun Burning Heaven Scripture" has not yet derived any pupil-related techniques, so he cannot rely on techniques to enhance his eyesight.

The same applies to other players, which is why they are completely lost in the hellish world and die countless times from the sneak attacks of the ghost messengers.

In many fantasy novels, techniques like the Heavenly Eye are standard equipment for cultivators and can be learned by everyone. However, in the Xuan Yuan World, many Foundation Establishment cultivators have never mastered this type of technique.

Fortunately, Zhou Yunshen had already checked and found that when the Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Scripture is cultivated to the Golden Core stage, a technique called "Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils" can be derived.

This is exactly the kind of eye-type magic that many players dream of.

Moreover, the name is the same as Sun Wukong's magical ability, which makes Zhou Yunshen even more eager to see the effect of this "Fiery Eyes".
