Chapter 10 Coincidence

Shui Xu was so anxious by my words that he turned around in circles. After thinking for a long time, he said seriously: "We have another treasure here. Although it is not specially used to detect energy, it is very familiar with the demon king's magic power and can be used." It tracks the location of the Demon King's mana. And since Heaven is full of fairy energy, it is easier to find the Demon King's mana. As long as Heaven has not completely transformed the mana, you will definitely find it."

"What is it? Show it to me. First of all, it's not too big."

"It's not too big, not too big." Shuixu comforted me and said, "Just wait a moment and we'll get it for you."

"You can go alone, why do you want to go together?"

"That thing is locked inside the treasure shield. At least three guardians need to be present at the same time to open it."

"I understand, then hurry up."

Shui Xu, Yin Yao and Qiong Lin disappeared in a flash, and only then did he dare to speak. After following me back and forth between Essinger and Du Ling twice, plus communicating with Erlang Shen, this little girl finally understood the extent of my identity.

"Yinyue. Have you been going back and forth between these big shots?"

I shook my head. "First, most of my time is spent on killing monsters and exploring. Second, these are not big shots."

"Who do they count if they don't count? I don't know what level those monsters are. Erlang Shen is not an earth god."

"There are two demon envoys behind the four guardians, and I have even seen their faces so far. There is also a demon king at the top, but he has not been resurrected yet, but what we are trying to do is to help the demon king resurrect. On the surface, Erlang Shen seems to have a high position. To be honest, he is just a high-level working boy. There is also a tota king above his head to control all the heavenly generals. In addition, there is the Jade Emperor above him, and the Hong Jun leader behind the Jade Emperor. These talents He is a big shot. And players like you who practice leveling all day long may not know it. Above all these big shots, there is also a high-ranking god, such as those at the level of Nuwa and Pangu. But among those high-ranking gods, I only know one Mother of the Earth, and the others I heard that it is easy to meet but difficult to meet! In this power pyramid, I am just a little higher than you, the cornerstone players, and there are many more levels above. On the surface, "Zero" is the biggest game among other games. The difference is that the effects are 'lifelike', you can smell, you can 'touch' things, and you can feel pain. It is more advanced than those games that only have graphics. In fact, the real advanced point of "Zero" is not here. The most advanced thing here is artificial intelligence. The system has completely humanized all NPCs. This is a real world, and anyone can find their own position here. The actual meaning of focusing on leveling up in this game Not big. Even if you are the most powerful player in the game, I can still kill you with just my words. This is the biggest breakthrough of "Zero". It is a real world. Here you can do business. You can When playing politics, you can also engage in military affairs. It is no longer a simple game of killing monsters, leveling up, and whoever is the boss with higher levels. I can tell you clearly that there are no super strong players in this game. In this game Even if you level up some NPCs until you are ten years old, you still can't beat them. When the game started, we didn't even consider letting these NPCs die. We couldn't kill them at all. But unfortunately, most players are not big I understand the true meaning of this game and keep killing monsters and leveling up."

"You are indeed different."

"It's not different. It's just a different understanding."

Just as he was talking, Shui Xu suddenly appeared again, followed closely by Yin Yao and Qiong Lin, with Yin Yao still dragging a box in his hand.

"Is this it?" I asked Shuixu, looking at the box.

Shuixu opened the box and found a jade bracelet inside. He carefully took out the bracelet and held it in his hand. "This is a demon weapon used by the demon clan to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. It is very precious to us. As long as you bring this thing, you can see the distribution of various energies. The energy of the fairy land is golden, and the energy of the Buddha is It's milky white. The energy of monsters is purple. The heaven should basically be golden. Sometimes some Buddhas come to visit, and there may be a white one. Among them, the purple energy of the Demon King must be easy to find."

"I understand. Colors are still very different." I stretched out my hand to take the thing, but Shuixu suddenly moved away. I looked at him: "What are you doing?"

Shui Xu said very cautiously: "This is very important to the survival of our demon clan. You must be careful not to damage it. You must return it to us as soon as possible after using it. One hundred thousand demons are pointing at this thing. Survive! If it weren't for the Demon King's magic power, we wouldn't risk inviting this baby out this time! You must be patient."

"Oh, don't worry." I grabbed the jade bracelet and brought it to my hand. Shui Xu was frightened when he saw it.

After putting this thing on, everything looks different. Almost everything has a halo on the outside, but some are strong and some are weak. There is a layer of green energy on the wooden table. But it's only less than 5 mm thick, very thin. The stones on the ground carry a kind of earthy yellow energy, which is so light that it is almost invisible. Dangdang has a layer of pink energy on his body, which is only about two inches thick. Shuixu and the other three guardians were covered in purple flames soaring into the sky. You could tell at a glance that they were super powerful beings. With this thing, you can easily distinguish the strength of the enemy, but looking at the way Shuixu Qian warned and warned, you know that this thing is really important, and I can't deceive it anyway.

After I put on the bracelet, I said to Shuixu: "Okay, now that the problems have been overcome, what are you going to do with the reward?"

"Remuneration...!" Shuixu said immediately: "Let us discuss it first." After saying this, he immediately met Yinyao and Qiong Lin and murmured, and after a while Shuixu turned back. "We have already discussed the remuneration. For such a difficult task, the price you ask is certainly not cheap, but we don't have the money."

"Then what are you going to give?"

"What do you think about giving you a clan?"

"Clan? You mean to give me all the monsters of one kind, like my guild guardian beasts?"

In the last system upgrade, not only the soldier limit was cancelled, but the limit on the number of guild guardian beasts was also cancelled. "Zero" is now really like the real world. There is no need for system settings to forcibly constrain players. Everything depends on your own ability. You can have as many guild guard troops as you want. As long as you can afford it. The same goes for guardian beasts. There is no limit on the number now. As long as you have the ability to conquer them and can raise them, the system doesn't care how many guardian beasts you can bring.

Shuixu seemed to see that I was very interested, and immediately said: "Yes, I will give it to you as a guardian."

I nodded: "Theoretically I accept this condition, but you can't give me a clan that's too rubbish. Not all monsters are strong. Some monsters can't even defeat ordinary beasts, and there's no fighting ability at all."

"This is natural." Shui Xu said: "Let me think about which clan is suitable for you."

I quickly interrupted him: "Don't think about which one is suitable. Just tell me which clans are available, and then I will choose myself."

"That's it." Shui Xu thought for a moment: "Okay. In fact, you don't have many choices. Most of our clans here have suffered heavy losses. In order to ensure normal development in the future, these small races cannot For you. We can only transfer some members from a large race to you, so that the rest of the race can still reproduce normally."

"What large races can we use?"

"The first one is the fox demon clan. As you know, this is the most typical demon clan. And its reproductive ability is super strong."

"Fox demons are indeed a good race, but you should let me know everything first and then choose me."

"Okay. In addition to the fox demons, there is also a dog demon clan, a cat demon clan, a sparrow demon clan, a water demon clan, and, by the way, there is also a tree demon clan. That's it, you decide for yourself."

"Only six?"

"What can I do? Everyone is in a weak stage right now. If it weren't for the numerous masters of these tribes, there probably wouldn't be many tribes that would be able to leave the water world in the gourd intact!"

During the period before the explosion of the Qiankun Gourd, many demon clans were drowned in the gourd. Otherwise, the demon clan would not be so different from the strength of Heavenly Court after they came out. For the loss of the demon clan. Although I personally try to help them, it is not easy to restore this balance.

Shuixu mentioned that the six tribes of the Earth are indeed considered the prosperous tribe among monsters. Only such races can survive the dangerous moment in the gourd. However, after all, not all members are very strong, and all races have lost their lives. Quite a few members.

Shuixu asked me to choose, and I felt very embarrassed. All six tribes seem to be pretty good, but I don’t know which one to choose. Originally I planned to choose the fox demon, but after thinking about it for a long time I finally decided to choose the tree demon. The guild already has a lot of powerful guards. There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Clan. The combat level of the Steel Claw is second only to that of the Dragon Clan, and the dominance of the Spear in the air is also unshakable. Even the seemingly weak Phoenix Dragon is actually a super practical monster with a wide range of uses. So this time I plan to get a side guardian beast for the guild. The plant type dryad should have many special abilities, which can just make up for the lack of strong frontal firepower of our guardian army.

After Shui Xu got the answer, he quickly invited the elders of the tree demon tribe over. At first, I thought the elder must be an old tree stump with a face full of dead tree bark, similar to a tree man in Europe. Who would have thought that the last elder he saw was a young man who looked to be only eighteen years old.

Seeing my surprised look, the elder explained himself: "I am an ancient sacred tree with a lifespan of one million years. I am only 137,000 years old this year. If calculated into human lifespan, I would be less than 14 years old. .At most he is considered a teenager."

It is said that monsters have a long lifespan. Plant monsters are even more frightening. This elder is one hundred and thirty-seven thousand years old, and he is still in his teenage years.

Shui Xu said: "Elder Shenmu is the oldest monster in our monster clan. The monster king is less than half his age."

"So how old are you?"

Shuixu 'touched' his beard and said: "I am already over 9,700 years old. I am the oldest among rats, but compared with those in the plant department, I am still in the younger generation. Basically all the members of the Dryad's Elder Council are here More than 100,000 years old, and the second generation members are almost 70,000 to 80,000 years old."

"What is the most popular age group among dryads?"

The tree demon elder said: "In our clan, we have the most members who are eight thousand to ten thousand years old."

faint! Sure enough, they are a super long-lived race. "Then how do you plan to arrange the members to join our guild this time?"

"It's actually very simple." The tree demon elder said: "We plan to give you some tree demon babies, and then you can go back and cultivate them yourself."

"Hey, hey, hey! Essinger is not an orphanage. You monsters can live tens of thousands of years. When they grow up to be able to do something, won't we all be dead?"

The tree demon elder immediately said: "Of course it can't take that long. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean asking you to help take care of the children? The reason why the tree demon grows slowly is because we absorb energy. Trees that grow only on the essence of the sun and moon It is very difficult for demons to make much progress. In fact, there is no direct relationship between the age and ability of tree demons. On the surface, it seems that the older they are, the more powerful they are, but in fact, it is because we absorb sunlight for a longer time."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Since the tree demon is a demon, the way it absorbs energy is not much different from other demons. It can just swallow the enemy's body and strength directly."

It took me a long time to just level up more. I thought I had to bury the Dryad baby in the soil and water it every day, and wait tens of thousands of years before he comes out to help! "Then can I just take them out and absorb more powerful enemies?"

"First of all, you need to bury the dryad baby in the soil. Water it once with the water from the Fountain of Power. After a few hours, the dryad baby can move freely. It will only have a weak effect at the beginning, and then it will become more and more The more powerful."

"I understand. What about the babies?"

"Here." The tree demon elder handed me a cloth bag. I took it and looked at it. Good guy, it's a bag of melon seeds.

"Is this the tree demon baby?"

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No problem, no problem." I quickly collected the seeds.

Shuixu saw that I had collected the seeds, and immediately smiled and said: "Now you can help get the demon king's magic power out, right?"

"I'll make a name for myself first. I'm just trying my best to help you get it. I can't guarantee whether I can get it. Besides, whether the mana is still there or not is a question."

"As long as you try your best, it's not your fault if you don't get it."

"Okay, as long as you say this, I will go back to Essinger to wait for the summons from heaven, and then see if it is possible to 'touch' the energy back. If it doesn't work, I will find another time to go there again. .”

"Then it all depends on you." The three guardians now treated me with utmost respect, and they almost even put me on a pedestal to offer me.

Dangdang and I returned to Essinger. As soon as we left the teleportation array, we were grabbed by Su Mei. "You're finally back, come help me quickly!"

I asked as I ran after her, "What's going on?"

"You went crazy in the square."

"I?"

"It's your big one."

"You mean the number of Ziri?"

Su Mei ran out of breath and said: "The big one from Ziri just came out of the cocoon. But now he has turned into a monster, but he is still so strong that no matter how many people come up, he is no match for him."

"You mean my body is going berserk?"

"Roughly the same."

"But I am here, how come the big trumpet over there is moving? Is it the Phantom that is controlling it?"

"No. Your body is moving on its own. That physical body cannot summon your magic pet, and even the insects behind it are not under his control. But your body is too strong, and it is already fatal to him alone."

When I followed Su Mei and ran to the square, I only saw wounded people wailing on the ground. I saw Su Mei and I coming over. Xiaoyao ran over immediately. She looked at me first: "Is this brother Ziri?"

Xiaoyao has not seen my trumpet yet, so she is not sure. I nodded: "Where's my large size?"

"Run that way."

I quickly followed Su Mei and chased after her. We ran to the outermost wall of Essinger Ground City before we finally caught up with my large account.

"Oh my god! How did it evolve like this?"

At this time, I was standing there in a posture similar to that of a gorilla, with my back slightly arched, my legs spread apart, my arms hanging naturally, and my body swaying a little. The demon dragon armor on the entire body has completely changed. The blade-like barbs and hidden folding knives have become much larger, and the armor is more terrifying than before. The most special thing is that there is a pair of goat horns growing on the top of his head. Looks like a big demon. What's even weirder is that my masking bracelet seems to have lost its function. My whole body was burning with blazing black flames, and it looked like a small volcano erupting. In flames. Three red eyes shine. That's right, three. I seem to have an extra eye on my forehead, almost like Erlangshen.

I suddenly discovered that the players next to Ziri's body also had flames. I suddenly remembered that I saw the black hellfire because of the bracelet, not because my body was really on fire. The covering bracelet is still worn on that body, so it shouldn't have evil attributes. But the flames on this body were so huge that they were even scarier than the giant dragon squatting in the distance. It seems that this physical body has been strengthened to a very high level. But the trouble now is that I am not controlling this powerful body, it is running around on its own.

The four players suddenly threw the lasso out, and the four nooses respectively covered the two arms of the physical body. A group of players grabbed the rope and pulled back to control their arms, but their bodies suddenly turned their hands and pinched the rope and began to spin. The players on both sides were led to follow them, and they spun faster and faster. Finally, it gradually left the ground and flew up due to centrifugal force. The physical body suddenly let go in one direction, and the rope immediately broke and flew out, and a group of players fell into a pile.

A steel claw rushed up from the side, and two claws slapped it down. As a result, my physical body and my hands actually withstood the pair of claws and the steel claws started to play a power game. Although it has been strengthened. But after all, my physical body was no match for the steel claw in terms of strength, and I was eventually pushed out. But this body turned over and landed firmly on the ground. With a shake of his hand, the two claws slid out. Although summoned beasts will not be used. But this body can use my weapons.

The physical body flew out with a kick, and the tentacles of the steel claws immediately surrounded me to intercept. However, my physical body actually avoided the tentacles and reached the back of the steel claws with a few light moves. I suddenly found that the blade claws of my body began to turn white. Does this damn bracelet affect the visual effect? I simply took off the bracelet first, only to find that the flames on my body were gone. Instead, the white flame of life was burning on the claws. The steel claw's back armor was easily cut open, and blood splattered everywhere. After encountering the fire of life, blood and water become as flammable as gasoline, with flying sparks everywhere.

I thrust the sun stick in my hand into the ground. Hold the staff with both hands. "Sun Fireball." The top of the staff flashed, and a white fireball immediately flew out. My body was hit without any defense, and the attack came from behind, and he didn't see it at all. Strangely, the ball of light just passed through, as if there was nothing there, and passed through without any reaction at all. However, the physical body still noticed my attack and looked back at me.

The fleshy body stood up from the back of the steel claw, turned to look at me, and then suddenly jumped off the back of the steel claw and rushed towards me. Shadow Spring jumped out of the crowd. Throw a handful of darts with a flick of his hand. But they were all knocked out. Seeing that the darts were ineffective, Yingquan took out his dagger and rushed forward. The two figures only touched each other in the air and then separated. My physical body fell back and landed next to the steel claw. And Yingquan was knocked away directly. As soon as my body hit the ground, it rushed up again.

I am a mage now, and it is obvious that I will lose money if I fight with my fighting body. There was really nothing I could do, so I made a hand seal with both hands. "Halo of the scorching sun." This magic is very powerful and cannot be dodge. But this magic also has another attribute, which is automatic identification of friend or foe. Although my body was not under my control for the time being, the magic recognized him as one of my own, so the flames passed through him without any effect.

The body accurately landed less than one meter in front of me. He raised his right hand and thrust it into my chest. It was too late for the people around me to help, so they could only watch as I was stabbed through by my own claws. A few seconds later, I suddenly realized that I was not dead, and I didn't feel any pain.

The physical body also realized that something was wrong. He moved his hands back and forth inside my body a few times, but it was like drawing air. His hands moved back and forth in my body without any hindrance, and he couldn't touch anything at all. . I also reached out and 'touched' my physical body, and the result was the same. As if one of us were a ghost, we could pass through each other without any repercussions. But this is impossible! I was pulled over by Sumei just now, which means that I am an entity. My physical body just killed a steel claw a minute ago. That is not magic! We are both entities, but we cannot attack each other.

I figured it out pretty quickly. Both the big and small players are me. Normally, they shouldn't be online at the same time. This situation may be classified as a rare bug. There will actually be invalid attacks. Although I understand, the physical body seems to have little understanding. He kept swiping at me, kicking me, hitting me with his fists, everything. But obviously, the two of us attacking each other are equal to not attacking each other, and there is no reaction at all.

The surrounding players originally wanted to come over and rescue me, but they soon discovered that I seemed to be completely immune to these attacks. So they stopped too. The physical intelligence seems to be close to zero. He is only driven by instinct and will automatically attack the nearest thing around him that is suspected of being dangerous. Although he couldn't hit me, he didn't stop at all and continued to attack.

Rose came over with the most capable elite group in our guild. Their original mission was to control this physical body. Rose was shocked at first when she saw us standing together. But it soon became apparent that we couldn't touch each other. Rose stood about ten meters away from me and said to me, "Are you okay?"

"I can't even touch him, what do you think can happen to me?"

Su Mei said from behind me: "Anyway, he keeps attacking you. Quickly take him to the arena. We will find a way to control him when we get there."

Su Mei’s method is really good. There is no penalty for death in the arena. It is completely a place for players to discuss friendship, and the wall over there will automatically recover, so even if the building is damaged, there is no need to waste repair money.

I moved slowly towards the arena, my body moving along the way as I fought. Anyway, it was following me, but obviously it was meaningless to me. Rose and the others kept a distance from us around us, so as not to get too close and cause our bodies to shift targets. Rose said that she also used illusions to induce the physical body to move at the beginning, but my physical body still had star pupils on its fingers. It can be seen directly that the illusion does not work at all. Only the illusion of my reality could attract him to follow me.

After finally leading the physical body to the arena, all irrelevant personnel were cleared away. Rose led the most capable elite group to surround me and my body in the center. With a command, these people all rushed forward, and I just took advantage of a few seconds to dodge back and reach outside the circle.

Zhenhong was the main force this time, and his punch hit the physical shield. The Qianjin fist arm is very domineering. The Magic Dragon Shield is not a street vendor either. There was a loud noise and the two men took off together. Zhenhong fell three meters away. And my physical body hit the wall directly. The newly recruited member, who was the top player in the combat power rankings, was hit with a stab and a smoke ring at the same time. In the first few minutes, the ground was relatively decent, but after five minutes, the two of them were kicked out together. Zhenhong picked up her fist and rushed forward again.

Rose looked on beside her and shook her head: "There's no way to beat him like this all the time!"

I said to Rose: "Wait a moment, I'll log out and try to log in again to the large account."

"OK."

A minute later I used Silver Moon to appear on the same spot. Rose looked at me and asked, "How is it?"

"System prompt: Abnormal status, access denied."

"This is really troublesome."

Su Mei stood on the other side of me and said: "Take a little more time, subdue this body, knock him out with a stick, and then you should be able to log in."

"What if it still doesn't work?"

"If it still doesn't work, just complain to customer service!"

Jin Coin suddenly came over and stood beside me and said, "Maybe I can use soul transfer."

"Soul transfer?"

Jin Coin explained: "Compared to the player's body, your mind is your soul. If you use the soul transfer technique to guide your soul back to that body, you may be able to regain control."

"Can you transfer souls?"

"Please, I am a magic Taoist priest, not a destiny Taoist priest. I am not the right type!"

I immediately asked: "Is there anyone in our guild who can learn the destiny?"

Rose hit me on the head. "Stupid! Yingquan is the Taoist Priest of Destiny!"

"That's right! I forgot about Shadow Spring. Come on, ask her to come over and give it a try."

Shadow Spring was quickly called over, and we briefly discussed the situation. Yingquan also thinks this method is feasible, but she has never tried it before. I don’t know what the specific effect will be. Moreover, the current situation does not look good. The physical combat effectiveness seems to be constantly improving, as if it is not tired.

Zhenhong led a group of the most capable people in our guild and 'forced' my body to a corner. Then they attracted attention, and Yingquan and I suddenly jumped over. Yingquan quickly pressed one hand on flesh body's face. "Spirit seal, soul sealing."

A huge Bagua array under the ground suddenly lit up. This was the array that had just been drawn, and the body was moving stupidly. He has little intelligence and is easily driven in. Now in this formation, Shadow Spring can temporarily seal this physical body, making it easier for us to move.

As expected, the physical body calmed down and stopped moving randomly. However, Yingquan's head is dripping with sweat. This formation requires the support of the operator to work. The stronger the thing being sealed, the greater the pressure on the sealer. The physical body was shaking like a swing, and Yingquan had to restrain him to prevent him from moving around.

Zhenhong and Yingquan came down the mountain from the same master. At least I knew a little bit, so I quickly came over to help complete the remaining formations. Ying Quan pressed one hand on my forehead, and the other hand on the physical body's forehead. "Spirit returns to spirit, matter returns to matter, Zhengyuan returns. Move soul! Ah..."

Almost as soon as Yingquan finished shouting, the formation suddenly exploded. Yingquan spurted blood and was knocked back more than ten steps. The physical body and I in the array first gradually faded, and then began to overlap when we were almost invisible. Then the two people became one person, and the silhouette began to gradually become clear again.

I couldn't move my body just now. Suddenly it returned to normal, but I lost control and fell to the ground.

Rose ran over and helped me up. "Are you OK?"

"It's okay. Why did it suddenly explode when it was going well just now?"

Yingquan was supported by Zhenhong and walked over and said, "Maybe it's because your physical body is too strong, and the two powers conflict fiercely. Hey, where is your big size?"

When I heard this, I quickly looked around. Even the shadow of Ziri's physical body disappeared. "Why did you disappear?"

"Then you try the number Ziri!" Zhenhong said.

I was just about to change my number when suddenly a black whirlwind rose up from the soles of my feet, scaring everyone and quickly moving away. Then the whirlwind suddenly rose to the top of my head and turned into a small tornado, covering my whole body. After the black whirlwind rose, it gradually shrank upward from the soles of the feet. As the whirlwind shrank, my lower body was gradually exposed. The legs that were originally wearing mage robes turned into black armor. As the whirlwind disappeared, everyone screamed. "Purple sun?"

"What?"

"Have you changed back?"

I looked down at my hands. "It seems to have been changed to a larger size."

"But you are not offline!"

Zhenhong said excitedly: "You couldn't have changed your number online, right? Wouldn't that be so cool? Two lives for one person."

Rose also said: "Quickly try changing back."

I tried changing it back again. The result is still the same. A small whirlwind rolled up in place and disappeared. When it came out, the characters were replaced. I couldn't move my body and couldn't see during the replacement. The entire replacement process takes less than two seconds to complete, which is quite fast.

I excitedly opened the properties and took a look, and it turned out to be exactly what Zhenhong said. The two characters overlapped. I can change the large and small numbers at any time, and unlike other players, their large and small numbers are separate and unrelated to each other. But I am in touch. For most people, if the trumpet was offline in Essinger last time. No matter how he moves his large trumpet, the trumpet will still be at Essinger the next time he changes to the trumpet. But I am different. No matter which number moves, the other will be taken with it. After I log off at a certain location, the next time I go online, no matter which number I use, it will appear at this location. This is simply the best combination to disguise. Others will not know that I can change my number in such a short time, and they will not think that my two numbers can be moved together.
