Chapter 107 An Unprecedented Experience
Chen You's figure reappeared at the entrance of the Zhaocheng City Lord's Mansion.
Without lingering, with a thought, the enormous white rabbit mount reappeared.
Then, the man and the rabbit transformed into a white shadow and sped off towards the north of Zhaocheng.
Sitting on the rabbit's back, Chen You had completely adapted to the roller coaster-like feeling.
If I don't have a little excitement every day, I just don't feel right!
He wasn't idle either; he hadn't even had time to study the rewards he received for purifying the spirits in the cemetery.
Open the title interface.
[The Ghost's Sorrow]
[Type: Unique Special Title]
[Effect: When wearing this title, you will emanate an aura that causes all spirits, undead, and ghostly creatures to tremble.]
When facing you, all their attributes will be greatly reduced, and there is a very high probability that they will fall into a "fear" state, giving up resistance and surrendering.
[Description: Wherever you go, even ghosts tremble in fear.]
Chen You: "..."
Wow, that's a pretty straightforward description.
To bow down and submit?
This means that if I see a ghost in the future, I won't have to lift a finger.
If we just unleash our domineering aura, the other party will have to kneel down and kowtow to us?
What's the difference between this and the Ghost King?
He scratched his head, a strange thought popping into his head.
If I encounter a dungeon like Wailing Valley again in the future, can I go in, recruit all the vengeful spirits, and form an undead army?
He opened his backpack again, his gaze falling on another reward.
It looked like an old-fashioned box, about the size of a palm, made of an unknown metal.
The surface is engraved with some incomprehensible patterns, and in the very center is a relief wing emblem, exactly the same as the one given to Meng Xiao before.
The Hero's Gaze
Type: Special Quest Item
Effect: unknown
Description: He is gazing at you from somewhere, waiting for you.
"Um?"
Chen You raised an eyebrow.
This description is rather mystical.
Are you staring at me?
Chen You subconsciously looked up at the sky, then looked around. There was nothing there except for the strong wind and the wilderness.
He tried to open the box, but found it wouldn't budge, and the system didn't give any prompts.
"Another riddle prop."
Chen You pursed his lips and temporarily put it out of his mind.
The most urgent task is to continue with the mission.
……
When Chen You arrived at the tranquil cemetery again, the setting sun had already disappeared.
All that remained in the sky was a dark yellow hue, about to be swallowed by darkness.
After being purified by the exorcism talisman, the entire cemetery no longer had any eerie atmosphere; instead, it possessed an unusual purity and tranquility.
Chen You spotted the lone figure at a glance.
Meng Xiao sat in front of her mother's tombstone, her small body curled up, hugging her knees, burying her head in her arms, motionless.
Hearing footsteps, she looked up, her red and swollen eyes appearing exceptionally clear in the night.
Chen You slowed his pace and walked to her side.
"The mission... is complete," he said softly, momentarily at a loss for words.
Meng Xiao tightly gripped the badge in her small hand.
She stopped crying, but kept her head down and remained silent for a long time.
After Chen You completed the "delivery task" prompted by the system, he was about to say something to comfort her when he saw Meng Xiao suddenly raise her head and look at him.
He spoke in a calm tone that belied his age.
"My lord, I no longer wish to remain in Zhaocheng."
Chen You was taken aback: "Huh?"
"This place... is no longer my home." The girl's voice was soft, but it carried a hint of determination.
"I've heard my father say that I have an uncle in Qianguang City, and I want to go find him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a brand new mission prompt popped up in front of Chen You.
【Ding! 】
You have triggered a chain quest – "The Last Relative".
[Mission Objective: Escort Meng Xiao safely to "Thousand Light City" and locate her uncle, Meng De.]
[Task Reward: 80000 Experience Points]
【Whether to accept? 】
Chen You looked at the mission panel, then at the girl in front of him whose eyes held the last glimmer of hope. Was there any need to think?
Thousand Light City.
This is the next main city that Chen You will be heading to.
"This name sounds so bright!"
"accept."
Chen You made his decision almost the instant the system notification sounded.
His goal is to move on to the next major city.
He glanced at Meng Xiao, who was huddled in front of the tombstone, and said nothing more.
Instead of bending down to help, he lifted Meng Xiao up with one hand, as if he were carrying a kitten.
Caught off guard, the girl let out a short gasp and her body stiffened.
However, perhaps Chen You's actions were too swift and decisive, without the slightest distraction.
Or perhaps after experiencing the tragedy of her family being destroyed, she had no attachment to this world anymore and did not struggle at all.
The next second, Chen You had a thought, and the huge white rabbit mount, which was like a small mountain of flesh, appeared out of thin air.
The two people and the rabbit transformed into a white lightning bolt that tore through the night sky, speeding northward.
The wind howled in her ears, and Meng Xiao instinctively hugged Chen You's arm tightly, burying her face in it, closing her eyes, and remaining silent.
The journey from Zhaocheng to Qianguangcheng is long.
The monster levels along the way gradually increased from level 12 to level 18, and occasionally even level 20 elite monsters could be seen.
For ordinary players at this stage, this is a perilous migration route.
It usually requires a well-equipped five-person team to proceed cautiously, taking several hours or even most of the day to arrive safely.
For Chen You, however, it was just an ordinary, slightly bumpy "high-speed rail" journey.
He didn't even draw his sword.
Before those wild beasts and monsters could even get close, they were left far behind by the terrifying speed of the white rabbit mount, not even catching a whiff of its tail fumes.
Occasionally, a few foolish flying monsters would block the way, but before they could attack, the invisible "Chaotic Star" sword energy would shred them into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air.
Meng Xiao was initially tense with fear, but as time went on, she found the journey to be unbelievably calm.
Calm, but not stable.
That's too crazy!
When the silhouette of a colossal city, even more magnificent than Zhaocheng, with walls displaying a cold hue, appeared at the end of his vision, Chen You knew he had arrived at his destination.
Thousand Light City!
Unlike the simple bluestone structure of Zhaocheng, the walls of Qianguang City are made of huge black iron rock.
The city gate was a hundred meters high, and the crowds were endless, making it far more prosperous than Zhaocheng.
What Chen You cared about even more was the players here.
As far as the eye could see, there were almost no adventurers below level 20.
Their equipment was excellent, and many of their weapons even had a faint blue or purple glow, clearly indicating that they were high-quality or even rare equipment.
The air here seems even more tense and competitive than in Zhaocheng.
"Whoosh—"
The white figure did not slow down at all, and amidst the astonished gazes of countless players, it rushed directly into the south gate of Thousand Light City like a phantom.
It wasn't until Chen You landed with Meng Xiao in his arms and the giant white rabbit mount vanished instantly that the surrounding players realized what had happened.
"Holy crap! What was that just now? A mount?"
"Such speed! What kind of magical beast is that? I've never seen one before!"
However, the discussion was quickly interrupted by a discordant voice.
As soon as Meng Xiaogang regained his footing, the dizziness from the prolonged high-speed jolting rushed straight to his head.
She couldn't hold back any longer. Her face turned pale, and she bent over, vomiting up the last bit of acid in her stomach.
It splashed right onto a pair of shiny black combat boots.
