Chapter 217 Xifeng 1
While the group of powerful ghost officials had not yet come to find him, Lu Changning was urgently teleported by Xiaohong away from those evil spirits.
In a completely unfamiliar world, Lu Changning slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, the scene he saw was simply amazing - a beautiful scene with birds singing and flowers blooming before his eyes! The blue sky was as dazzling as a gem; the surroundings were filled with bursts of fresh and pleasant floral fragrance; the ears came with the crisp and pleasant sounds of birds and insects intertwined, as if nature was playing a beautiful symphony.
In sharp contrast to the boiling oil pan in the underworld, this place is sunny and full of vitality. More importantly, there are no more hateful bosses who want to kill him.
Lu Changning blinked his eyes, revealing an indescribable surprise: "I really got out! I successfully escaped from the clutches of that group of people!" He was as excited as a child, jumping up and down, and even wanted to run three laps on the spot to express his inner joy: "Xiaohong, you are really my best friend. Thanks to you, I was able to escape from that terrible place!"
Then, Lu Changning stood up and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. He saw that the trees were dense and lush, and the air seemed to be filled with a unique and mysterious atmosphere. Following this breath, he found that there was an ancient fairy grass growing not far away. "Huh..." Lu Changning couldn't help but feel very surprised, "I can actually find traces of fairy grass here. Could it be that this is the world of immortal cultivation?"
At this time, Xiao Hong finally showed up: "Xiao Lu, I was scared to death. These ghost officials are simply inhumane. They searched my flower field like a carpet. Fortunately, I sent you away, otherwise both you and I would be dead."
Lu Changning was filled with gratitude, his back bent like a cooked shrimp, and he thanked her repeatedly, "Thank you very much for saving my life, Boss Hong. Otherwise, I would have been in the frying pan by now."
Xiao Hong was so happy when she heard what Lu Changning said. But she didn't show it in her voice. In fact, she was so happy that she was drawing circles on the ground. "Ahem, as your boss, it's my duty to protect you. It's just a small matter. It's just a small matter."
Having been together for so long, how could Lu Changning not know Hongzai's character? He praised him profusely. The pistil of the small flower without a corolla in the underworld was almost red with joy: "What are you talking about? This is what a boss should do." Although he said he didn't care, his chest was raised high. He was really a qualified boss.
Lu Changning looked at the world around him, and taking advantage of Xiaohong's good mood, he quickly asked: "Boss, what kind of world is this? Is it the world of immortal cultivation? What is my identity? Can it help me save my life?"
Boss Hong was so happy that his nose was about to bubble: "This is not the world of immortal cultivation. I have transported you to the future world. It is full of steel forests. It is so cool. It will definitely broaden your horizons."
"Huh? A steel forest?" Lu Changning looked at the butterflies flying around and the caterpillars crawling on the tree trunks, wondering, "This forest isn't made of steel at all!"
After hearing what Lu Changning said, Xiaohong turned to look at the forest around him. To be honest, it looked like the forest was not made of steel at all, but full of vitality.
"Hiss! That's not right. Shouldn't there be machinery everywhere? Shouldn't there be stainless steel everywhere? Wait a minute, don't worry, I'll go see what's going on."
There was no news from Xiaohong, and Lu Changning was free anyway, so he stared at a little white rabbit on the ground and slowly squatted down.
"Wow, little rabbit, how can you be so cute! Are you going to steam you or braise you in oil? You're so cute, I'd better roast you directly!" As he said this, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch this silly rabbit that didn't know how to run.
Who knew that as soon as he stretched out his hand, the cute little rabbit showed its two big teeth and bit Lu Changning's arm.
With a roar, Lu Changning stretched out his hand and threw the rabbit away.
Looking at the arm again, two bloody holes had been bitten by the powerful teeth, and blood was oozing out.
Lu Changning had never seen such a ferocious rabbit before. No wonder it wasn't afraid of him just now. It turned out to have sharp teeth. "Demon rabbit, it must be a demon rabbit. This rabbit must have cultivated into a spirit."
Just as I was about to go forward to seek revenge on the demon rabbit, I heard a strange electronic sound in my ear.
[The demon king Xifeng killed the level one little white rabbit and gained a little experience and a copper coin.]
Who, what is this sound! Why does this electronic sound sound so much like the system sound from my previous life?
Lu Changning looked around and did not detect any human presence around him: "System sound, that's strange, am I possessed by the system?" As he said that, Lu Changning regained consciousness to explore this body, but he did not find the existence of a system around his soul.
"This is strange, is there someone else around?" Thinking of this, Lu Changning became cautious and crouched down to explore the surroundings carefully.
Just as I was about to take a look at the towering tree, I looked up and saw a white frame on my head with a few big words written on it: [Demon King Xifeng]
Lu Changning gasped. It turned out that the one named Xifeng was himself! But why was his name on his forehead? This was too ostentatious. Who would carve his name on his forehead?
Moreover, this guy is a demon king? Lu Changning didn't believe it at all! Whose demon king would bleed from being bitten by a little white rabbit? This is too weak.
Lu Changning stretched out his hand, trying to touch the characters on his head, but his hand passed directly over them, just like a projection.
"What kind of magic weapon is this? It's really strange."
Without knowing the details of this world, Lu Changning didn't dare to jump around anymore, after all, his wound was still bleeding! He stayed under the tree and waited for Xiaohong to come back.
After a long while, just when Lu Changning was about to pull out all the grass under him, Xiaohong finally came back with his scream: "Lu Changning, something bad has happened, we are finished! It seems we are in big trouble."
Lu Changning had heard this sentence too many times, and now he even had a little immunity to it, so he didn't feel panicked when he heard it: "Really? We're in trouble again this time." Lu Changning deduced that Xiaohong might have teleported him to the wrong place. Who knew that Xiaohong would speak directly.
"I seem to have teleported you into the game."
"what?"
I didn’t expect this!
Little Red Flower poked it, feeling a little guilty. This was not a mistake a qualified boss should make.
"Actually, I didn't teleport you to the wrong world. This is the future world. But I teleported you to the wrong dimension. I teleported you into an NPC in a holographic game, so you are trapped in this world and can't get out."
Lu Changning took a deep breath and said, "No wonder I couldn't find the original owner's memory. It turns out that I am an NPC! This body is actually a huge system." This also explains the strange sound and the words on the head.
Xiao Hong suddenly remembered something, and she became more and more unsure. She began to stutter: "That... Xiao Luzi, this world is indeed different from the one we were in before. But we came here mainly to avoid danger. So, you'd better hide in a safe corner. I think... probably, maybe, maybe, there won't be any big problems." As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, trying to make her words sound more convincing. However, even she herself could feel that these reasons were too far-fetched.
Lu Changning felt something was not right when listening to Xiaohong's words: "Is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Xiao Hong raised her head, looked at the gray sky of the underworld, and muttered, "How could that be? You are just an ordinary NPC."
"Don't frame me. I've played the game before. I was the NPC who issued the quests, and I was also the NPC who was KOed in the plot."
Xiao Hong hesitated and finally muttered: "It's the NPC who was beaten."
When Lu Changning heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and felt a chill all over his body. He felt the wound on his wrist hurt even more. He asked repeatedly in disbelief, "Am I the kind of NPC waiting to be hunted down by the whole world?"
Xiao Hong nodded, but when she saw Lu Changning looking like he was about to die, she quietly comforted him, "Well, it's actually not as dangerous as you think. The NPCs in this game have a high degree of freedom, and you can level up, too. As long as you level up high enough, you'll be safe."
"Safety is nothing. The gamers who are chasing me can spend money, but can I? I can only get beaten and killed over and over again."
Xiao Hong kindly reminded: "Not really. You only have one life. If you are killed once, you are dead for good!"
Lu Changning took a deep breath and said, "He's still a squishy guy! Players can revive him, but I, a dignified NPC, don't even have the option to revive?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is how the world is set up." As Xiaohong spoke, she sent him the plot of the game.
In general, this is a world of immortal cultivation full of secrets, and every player can upgrade by practicing and eradicating monsters. But above this world, there is a huge undeveloped map, which is the legendary world of gods and demons.
In order to open these maps, one must find the legendary key to the gate of the God Realm. And the key to the God Realm, unfortunately, is in Lu Changning's possession.
Lu Changning looked at the seven moles on his feet and almost died of anger: "That's too much! I'm already in danger, and I still need to use my feet to open the door! What? I'm going to die!"
Xiao Hong smiled: "It doesn't have to be your feet, you have four brothers, they can also drive."
"Haha, thank you so much. Those four are simply at the Great Perfection of Crossing the Tribulation, but what about me? I'm only at the initial stage of Qi Refining! Level 1! My experience is still zero! I just want to ask those players who else to kill if not me!"
At this point, Xiao Hong felt that Lu Changning was unlucky: "But you are not without advantages! Although your four brothers are at a high level now, they can't upgrade anymore. But you are different, you are a Divine Phoenix with sustainable development! As long as you survive, you will definitely be able to save your life."
As he was speaking, the system's voice suddenly sounded in the sky:
[The demon king Xifeng appears in the Flame Forest. Players are requested to go and capture him. ]
Looking at the subtitles scrolling in the sky, Lu Changning was shocked!
"Stay????"
Forget it, he gave up! Just die!
Lu Changning just lay down on the spot, ready to end his short, miserable and cowardly life.
"Are you ready to come back and get into the frying pan?"
This sentence instantly made Lu Changning sit up: "I suddenly found that I seemed to be able to survive."
"This is right!"
Lu Changning raised his head and stared at the shiny and bold name on his head in a daze: "I want to live, but my name is engraved on my forehead. Xiaohong, do you have any way to change it?" Otherwise, if he meets someone who can read, they will know that he is the Demon King Xifeng, and then he will be able to have fun.
Xiao Hong looked at the pure white characters on his forehead and touched her chin: "How about I try to break them off for you?"
"Are you sure this thing can be broken?"
"Let's give it a try." Xiaohong stretched out her roots and bent towards the character. Surprisingly, she actually caught it.
Xiao Hong dragged it hard, and Lu Changning grimaced in pain: "Isn't this thing a decoration? How can I still feel pain!"
"Just bear with it. I think it's loose. I'll break it open soon."
With a push, Lu Changning let out a scream, and Xiaohong also shivered and cried out.
"This thing is so powerful that I broke my roots off. How could I not take it away?"
Lu Changning squatted on the ground, holding his head and grimacing. How come this word breaking is like opening the skull! It turns out that this decoration on the head is part of the body.
"No, it hurts too much. This stimulation is almost like being thrown into a frying pan."
After a long while, Lu Changning finally came back to his senses from the piercing pain.
Just as he was about to find a place to hide, three monks suddenly stood in front of him. Lu Changning was so scared that he sat down on the ground. He was finished. He had just decided to live, but unfortunately, the monks who coveted his jade feet came.
Just as Lu Changning was about to say something, the cultivator opposite him spoke up: "Brother, have you seen any trace of the demon king?"
??? Isn’t this demon king right in front of him?
Lu Changning quickly shook his head.
The three monks discussed: "The demon king must be deep in the forest, let's look inside."
As they spoke, the three of them walked towards the forest. Lu Changning tilted his head slightly. Huh, they can't recognize me?
Coincidentally, the monk with the [Demon Sky Supporting Great Sage] on his forehead turned around and said, "Brother, the name is very creative."
Looking at the three people's departing backs, Lu Changning looked up in confusion. When he looked at the characters again, he was surprised to find that their positions had changed.
【Demon Wang Xifeng】
Hiss, why does this name sound so familiar?
