Chapter 110
is also known as the Abyss of Extreme Darkness.
"Of course, we'll cut down trees and make rafts!"
"oh!"
Zhao Lei obediently pushed his wheelchair, following behind Chen Baicha, and dutifully acted as a semi-automatic porter.
Huo Yunzhi arrived at the location of the vengeful ghost, and with a casual wave of her hand, the flames spewed from the Red Lotus Fire Spear rose into billowing steam, blocking her figure from Chen Baicha and the others' sight.
Then, she looked at the vengeful ghost in the sea.
Its limbs were swollen from being soaked, its hair was wet and stuck to its forehead, and its skin was a pale white that looked like it had been dead for several days, lacking health, and even more outrageous than Zhao Lei's.
Out of concern for her ghostly employees, Huo Yunzhi gently spoke up: "I feel I need to say a few words."
She held up three fingers: "I only glanced at you just now, and I've already noticed three problems."
"First, if you're going to be playing a player, why are you wearing a service area uniform?"
She placed the second finger down: "Secondly, how could you smirk when you saw someone coming! You know that's easy to spot, right?"
Water ghost: ...
"Third." Huo Yunzhi withdrew her last finger: "Players have sharp eyes. You haven't covered up the lividity on your arms, neck, and forehead. Who would think you're alive?"
The water ghost looked dazed, but answered honestly, "That's because... because the waves were too big and washed away the paint in those places."
"Wait, something's not right!" The water ghost realized after answering, "Who are you?! Why are you talking so much?! What's it to you?! You're a player! I'm a vengeful ghost!"
As he spoke, the water ghost suddenly revealed a fierce glint in its eyes, its sharp fingernails trembling incessantly, and it looked as if it was about to launch an attack on Huo Yunzhi.
"They actually dared to come."
Huo Yunzhi immediately revealed her ghostly aura and then unleashed her Karmic Fire Domain.
One second the water ghost was in the icy seawater, and the next second the seawater turned into a hot pot.
The endless karmic fire, like a leech, relentlessly attacked the water ghost.
It seems that whether or not to destroy it completely depends on Huo Yunzhi's decision.
"My lord!" The water ghost recognized him now. "I didn't know you were coming, my lord! I've offended you! I know I was wrong. I'll definitely use waterproof cosmetics next time. Please forgive me!"
The water ghost clung to the last remaining patch of cold ground, tearfully apologizing to Huo Yunzhi.
Huo Yunzhi readily withdrew her karmic fire domain, then smiled and reached out to the water ghost.
"What... what does your master mean by this?"
"If you can find it on the only way to the Abyss, you must have some important items."
Huo Yunzhi's smiling expression, in the water ghost's eyes, was filled with the words "Give it or die."
"Sir... I really don't have that."
"Oh?" Huo Yunzhi raised an eyebrow. "Really not?"
"Really, no!"
Huo Yunzhi sized up the water ghost, then squatted down in front of it: "Then I'll ask you a few questions, and you should answer them honestly, right?"
"Of course, I will answer everything I know without reservation!"
"Very good." Huo Yunzhi fiddled with the red tassel on the Crimson Lotus Firearm: "First question, where is the Mysterious Abyss in the Chenzi instance?"
"Reporting to you, sir, I don't know!"
Huo Yunzhi: ...
Water ghost: ...
Huo Yunzhi gently raised the Red Lotus Fire Spear and aimed it straight at the water ghost's head.
"Ahhhhhhh! I know, I know!" the water ghost quickly changed his tune.
Huo Yunzhi moved the spear aside, her expression still amiable, but her tone was as sinister as a female ghost: "Keep talking, or you really won't have a chance to live."
The water ghost nodded frantically.
It was now quite certain that Huo Yunzhi wasn't bluffing; she really had killed the ghost.
"The Mysterious Abyss, also known as the Darkest Abyss, is located somewhere in the Chenzi dungeon. It only opens at specific times and closes at specific times as well."
Huo Yunzhi: ...That's pure nonsense.
"My lord, if you enter the Abyss, you must come out before it closes!" the water ghost continued its rambling, seemingly oblivious to Huo Yunzhi's growing impatience. "Otherwise, you'll never come out!"
"I'm very pleased that you reminded me of this." Huo Yunzhi smiled again and raised the ground gun.
"But what you just said didn't please the master. I asked about the location of the Mysterious Abyss, but you recited the rules to me. What? Do you think the master can't remember the rules?"
"No, no, no!" The water ghost waved its hands frantically. "I really don't know where it is!"
Huo Yun twisted her wrist, and the tip of the Crimson Lotus Fire Spear in her hand flashed with a white light: "Then, sir, you can only try to see if you can get points by killing the vengeful ghosts."
Sensing the intense heat of the karmic fire, the water ghost's improvisation suddenly improved.
"My lord! I've suddenly remembered something! There is a way to get to that place!"
"explain."
"My lord, you asked about the exact location of Haiyuan's ear. I really don't know, as the system didn't tell us. However, there will be a celestial phenomenon five minutes before Haiyuan opens, which most players in the instance can see."
Also, because there are many treasures and items in the sea, some items can be used for exploration, such as the Dragon Finder, the Mysterious Sonic Dagger, and the Metal Detector.
The most useful item is called the Daydream Compass. Although it looks tattered, its positioning is the most accurate, even pointing out the approximate location before the Abyss opens... My lord! That's it!
Huo Yunzhi examined the compass from all angles, carefully wiping away the water droplets that had splashed onto it: "This thing can really locate the abyss? It's truly a wonderful thing."
Now, I really have to say thank you to the Sea Patrol Yaksha, because of you, the four seasons have been warm.
Having obtained the information she wanted, Huo Yunzhi was in a great mood, and even the corpse spots on the water ghost seemed more pleasing to the eye.
"Which district are you in? What's the name of the service area? What's its ranking and pollution level like? Do you have a parking pass?"
"Sir, our service area is open to the entire server. The service area I'm in is called Midnight Canteen, ranked No. 275, moderately polluted. Parking cards... we have them!"
The water ghost realized that Huo Yunzhi was going to their place later to do purification, so it respectfully handed over the service area parking card.
Huo Yunzhi took it and casually asked, "The pollution in your service area isn't that bad, so why did you leave to run a PvP dungeon?"
"The system told us that as long as we sign up, we can get 20 survival coins, and if we can kill a player, we can get a 10 survival coin commission."
Huo Yunzhi: ? ? ?
10 Survival Coins?
I laughed in exasperation.
Even if a player's life is worthless, it shouldn't be this little bit!
That damned system must have taken the lion's share of the players' survival coins!
"Does this dungeon contain completely corrupted vengeful spirits? The kind with special mechanics?"
"There's definitely none outside the Abyss of Darkness, but we don't know about inside."
