Chapter 157 Information on the Ghost

The snow monster wailed, his eyes quickly became dull, and he fell to the ground with a thud, without a sound.

As for Death, he grabbed the snow monster's soul, regardless of the soul's struggle, kneaded it into a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it, and then let out a satisfied laugh before disappearing into the scythe.

At the same time, Mu You felt that the power-absorbing magic circle under his feet stopped working immediately, and a reminder sounded in his mind: [You assisted in killing a level 19 snow monster, experience value +14. 】

Level 19 snow monster, he got 14 points of experience, Lin Xue should have taken the remaining 5 points, that is to say, the spell of Reaper Support is rewarded according to the energy provided, and his crystallized magic power reserves are much higher than Lin Xue , so it is assigned to the bulk.

At this time, the part of the girl in the distance, the part of Lin Xue's soul that was pulled away, reappeared from the top of her head, as if being pulled by an invisible thread, flew back backwards, and submerged into Lin Xue's body.

Losing the supply of soul and energy at the same time, the girl in the distance described that she was rapidly aging, and soon turned back into a gray-haired old man, and her figure became rickety.

"grandmother……"

Lin Xue's soul returned, and after regaining consciousness, she hurriedly ran towards the old man.

Mu You also picked up the ice coffin on the ground and walked over.

At this time, the old man was still standing there with his eyes blank, and the sickle in his hand had been powerlessly thrown aside.

Obviously, this is not a real resurrection spell, but the soul points injected through the death sickle, which temporarily restores the old man's body to activity.

Recalling that the old man was able to show up to help in such a timely manner just now, it seems that the old man may have expected an ambush on the other side of the door before he was alive. The reason why Lin Xue was asked to bury her here is probably not simply because he wanted to return to his roots. , but want to use the last value of the body to help them solve the hidden dangers behind the door, so that they can control the door without future troubles.

"Grandma, you have worked hard, you should rest..."

Lin Xue closed the old man's eyes, and used the sickle to take away the few remaining soul points in the old man's body.

The old man's body suddenly lost all support, and fell straight, was caught by Lin Xue, and carefully put back into the ice coffin.

"How many points did you spend?" Mu You asked. The seemingly one-sided battle just now was extremely expensive. In the beginning, the old man was able to easily receive the full swing of the snow monster with a single knife, but after the battle, he could barely stand still. Obviously, the soul absorbed by the old man from the sickle was consumed in large quantities, so that such a big monster appeared. gap.

"In the beginning, 221 soul points were stored in the scythe, which was all absorbed by grandma. After the battle, 51 points were recovered, that is to say, 170 points were consumed during the battle..."

"In addition, the God of Death devoured the soul of the snow monster just now, replenishing 345 soul points, and now there are 396 soul points left in the scythe." Lin Xue listed all the data clearly.

170 points...

Mu You breathed out, just five minutes before and after the battle, he had consumed as much as 170 points, and this rate of consumption was still terrifying.

Of course, after killing the snow monster in the end, he earned more than twice the soul points. In fact, not only did he not lose soul points, but he also made a lot of money.

However, this battle consumes not only soul points, but also the natural magic power and lifespan of the two of them.

Not to mention the magic power, it can be absorbed soon, it doesn't matter.

The key is longevity.

Mu You glanced at the reminder in his mind, he was sucked away by the god of death for a total of ten years of life just now, and Lin Xue was standing next to him in the magic circle at the same time, and the consumption should be about the same.

In other words, the two of them spent a total of 20 years of lifespan before killing this snow monster...

Obviously, this ability to resurrect corpses can be used as a trump card at critical moments, but it cannot be used as a normal fighting method. Their current lifespan cannot withstand such a toss.

"What are you going to do?" Mu You looked at Lin Xue.

With this fighting method of resurrecting the dead, Grandma Lin Xue's purpose of letting her bring the body to the astral world is open to question. The burial is probably just a rhetoric. The real purpose may be to let Lin Xue bring her body with her, so as to add a means of saving her granddaughter's life.

"I do not know either……"

Lin Xue shook her head, she was as intelligent as she was, and of course she immediately realized grandma's real last wish, which was to continue to be active in another world after death in another form, and become a force to protect her.

However, this way of using the dead still made Lin Xue, who grew up with the culture of "putting into the ground to be safe", feeling a little uncomfortable. For a moment, she was a little confused about how to deal with it.

"How about finding a safe place and keeping your grandma's body?" Mu You suggested at this time.

"Is there such a place?" Lin Xue was taken aback.

"I know a place where the remains can be preserved."

What Mu You was talking about was naturally the tomb of vampires. The remains of vampires have been preserved in that secret room for thousands of years, and they can even maintain their vitality. , is the best place he can think of.

Mu You briefly described the characteristics of the Vampire's Tomb to her. The place is guarded by a large number of monsters above level 25 all the year round, so there is absolutely no security.

Lin Xue nodded after hearing this: "Since there is such a place, let's put grandma there."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Mu You nodded. There is a teleportation array arranged in the vampire's tomb, as long as he places a teleportation array nearby, he can transfer there instantly.

Mu You opened a new backpack, put the ice coffin in it, and then looked at Lin Xue: "Where are you? Do you want to go together?"

Lin Xue shook her head: "Forget it, someone needs to watch here, I'll just spawn monsters around here."

Mu You thought for a while and agreed: "In this case, let Zhan Ying follow you."

He summoned the war hawk from the pet shop, let it hover in the sky for a week, and observed the surrounding environment.

It turned out that the level of monsters in this snow field was not considered high, most of them were below level ten. With the help of War Eagle, Lin Xue's leveling would be much easier. By the way, Mu You can also grasp the situation here at any time through the perspective of the war eagle. In case of any changes, he can send back to support at any time.

After making up their minds, the two split up and started to act.

Lin Xue took the war eagle deep in the snow field to find the nearest wild monster. One of the biggest advantages of leveling in the Astral Realm through the gate is that she will not be limited by physical strength. As long as there are enough suitable monsters for her to brush, her level can rise quickly, especially in the early stage.

Mu You took out his phone and tried it first.

As expected, all mobile phones have no signal at all, and the Game of Fools icon can't even be clicked.

Mu You had no choice but to go through the door first, go back to the pet shop, enter the game, and take out some things from the characters in the game.

Murloc mask, jack-o'-lantern, heart-guard, vampire cloak, silt boots...

Mu You almost stripped all the props from the game character. Anyway, he won't be online for the next day, so we'll talk about it when he comes back.

Then Mu You took out a 'Dark Teleportation' secret technique card, fused it into the crystal, and found a hidden location on the bottom of the reef in the game, and placed a teleportation array.

In addition, there is the lamp post of the 'revenge mission', because this thing contains a soul, it cannot be directly extracted to reality, so Mu You had to hide it beside the teleportation array first, and then take it later.

Exiting the game, Mu You moved all the drinks and other items to be brought on this trip to the opposite side of the door, and stored them in a new backpack. In addition, there were gargoyles, little spiders and canaries, and they were also put into the backpack together.

He will leave next by the teleportation array, and there can be no other creatures on him.

Then Mu You arranged a dark teleportation array in the snow near the door, found some boulders and trees, and covered the door and the teleportation array a little.

Complete concealment is not required, as long as it cannot be seen at a glance from a distance.

These tasks took him about half an hour, and the time came to ten forty in the evening.

Mu You and Xiaoya bid farewell, and then stepped into the teleportation array.

After being swallowed by the huge mouth of the monster on the teleportation array, Mu You was spit out from another mouth after a whirl.

[You passed the dark teleportation array, lifespan -1, from the northern snowfield to the tomb of Misty Mountain. 】

This is the first time that Mu You has personally experienced the transmission process of the dark transmission array.

To be honest, the experience was really not that good, as if I had experienced a severe motion sickness, and it took four or five seconds to recover after landing.

When he looked up, he had come to a tomb filled with dark green light, and a chill and damp came over him.

Sure enough, the environment in this hall is quite cold and humid as described in the game article.

Fortunately, he is now wearing a vampire skin, so he will not be affected by the coercion of the tomb.

Pass through the cursed spring in the center of the hall, and Mu You enters the tunnel.

A little red-skinned tomb guard jumped out yelling, and was stunned when he saw Mu You, and hurriedly stepped aside, bowing his head as if surrendering.

After a period of time, some of the monsters here have indeed been resurrected.

At this time, Mu You had already squeezed the magic wand in his hand. If the monster here really wanted to attack, he would immediately back off and release the shadow ghost.

Fortunately, no, it seems that the identity of the vampire count is still useful here. As long as the vampire skin is loaded, these monsters will not attack him actively.

So Mu You went up the corridor all the way up in the crowd of monsters along the road. After climbing a few thousand meters, he finally came to the secret room at the top of the tomb.

It was already close to the top of the Misty Mountain, the temperature plummeted, and the feeling of biting cold was much stronger than that of the northern snowfield just now.

Mu You pushed the door open and walked into the secret room, and immediately saw the empty coffin in the center of the secret room.

In the all-knowing crystal, the properties of the coffin appeared for the first time: "The coffin is made of thousands of years of ice. After the coffin is sealed, the remains stored in it can be guaranteed for a long time. It is better to place it in a place with cold temperature. .”

This ice coffin is facing the opening of the fireplace over there, and the cold wind blowing from the top of the mountain can just cover the coffin. It seems that this room has also been specially designed, and all the arrangements are for better preservation of the remains.

Take out Grandma Lin Xue's body, transfer it into the coffin, and close the lid.

After confirming that the seal was done, Mu You went back to the hall below, took out the murloc mask and put it on, then stood on the formation and launched the teleportation again.

In the next second, Mu You appeared in a piece of sea water, and the water pressure of the deep sea came from all directions.

Fortunately, he put on the murloc mask in advance, adjusted his breathing, and quickly adapted to the water pressure.

Mu You picked up the lamp post on the side, and before he had time to take a closer look, he stuffed it into his backpack, found a few stones to cover up the teleportation array, and then hurriedly swam to the surface of the sea.

Above the sea is a group of reefs located on the coast of the wilderness.

Mu You climbed onto the reef, and the teleportation array was built near the place where the fishing nets were arranged.

Turning around on the nearby reef, Mu You quickly saw the buoy not far away, walked over and pulled the fishing net up to have a look.

As expected, it was really empty inside...

There was a large hole in the bottom of the fishing net, and the leak was repaired crookedly with an obviously different material, and now only a few fish scales hang from those leaks under the fishing net.

Apparently, some fish had been there before, but spun around the net and then slipped away.

Mu You shook his head, he didn't expect the broken net to catch fish.

Throwing the fishing net into the water again, he opened the backpack, took out the prepared canned bait, poured a bottle of sleeping potion into the bait, and then wrapped the crumpled bait with spider silk and hung it in the center of the fishing net.

"I hope this potion will work..."

Mu You exhaled. This fishing net is restricted by the rules, and it can only be harvested once a day. He is going to come and have a look at it when he returns tomorrow.

After setting up the fishing nets, Mu You climbed up the coast, found a high place to look at, and quickly found the direction of the city.

It was more than ten kilometers away, a city built on the mountain, half inlaid on the mountain, and half built in the water.

There are obviously many residents in this city, and the lights are still brightly lit late at night. The brilliance of various magic lamps illuminates the city brightly, like a city that never sleeps in the water.

There are some drainage channels around the city, and the game characters must have escaped from these waterways before. However, I don't know if it was affected by the appearance of the wanted criminal yesterday. At this time, sentry patrols were arranged around these waterways, closely monitoring every move underwater.

Of course, Mu You came here with a mask this time, so just walk through the main entrance.

Mu You put on the fisherman's skin, put on thousands of faces, and activated the effect of the mask's deep hidden breath. For the next 24 hours, he will not be found by the fool's breath.

Mu You picked up a bamboo basket by the river, filled it with some aquatic plants, pretended to be a fisherman returning from the sea, and walked towards the city gate.

Along the way, he saw many players who went online at night.

Apparently, the massive hunt in the Astral Realm has put a lot of pressure on the players, forcing them to work only in the dark and blind, and they can only wander around the city, no one dares to approach the city gate.

Mu You took the time to observe the player's game characters for a while, and found that the player and the NPC are so easy to distinguish, there is no difference in appearance, but the difference in behavior is too obvious: those behaviors are sneaky, sometimes stuck, The action is obviously more dull, it is definitely the player.

When they came to the city gate, there were indeed many guard knights gathered at the gate, carefully checking the passers-by.

Mu You believed in the effect of the mask, but he still made some preparations before approaching. He hid the pocket watch and magic wand in his two sleeves and pinched them. Once he found something wrong, he could go back at any time.

As a result, he was released without a hitch.

The soldiers guarding the gate failed to find out his fool attributes at all. After some investigation, they even distributed a brand new identity certificate to him.

Mu You picked it up and looked at it. It was an identity token engraved with the pattern of Sunset City, which stored his reputation data of the justice camp. At present, there are only 14 points obtained from killing the werewolf, so it is only the lowest black iron token. Cards, as the prestige increases, the token level seems to increase.

As for the use of a high-level identity token, Mu You is not yet clear.

Entering the city, Mu You looked at this night market in another world.

The nobles and wizards in this city basically lived on the mountain, and the people living below the mountain were generally ordinary civilians. As for the poor who couldn't afford a house, they could only huddle in the cold and damp underground river below.

Mu You didn't want to contact those aborigines for the time being, so he walked along the streets all the way alone, passing through some of the busiest commercial streets, and when he came out of a dark alley, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Huh? A new-faced fisherman, is he new from another city? Welcome to Sunset City, why don't you come and see my products here, we guarantee high quality and low price!" A green-skinned, pointed-eared, short-built goblin There was a stall on the side of the road, and when he saw Mu You passing by, his eyes lit up and he immediately greeted him.

Mu You turned his head and saw the green-skinned goblins setting up a stall on the side of the road, he was immediately amused.

Isn't this the goblin businessman who tried to trick him yesterday?

I haven't thought about looking for you yet, but you have come to your door yourself!

Mu You approached decisively: "What do you sell here?"

While asking, his eyes swept over its booth, but he saw that on the yellowed tablecloth, there were only some bread, fruits, colorful stones, some dirty antiques, metal jewelry, etc., but basically they were all Broken copper and iron, no real valuables at all.

"Come and see this!"

The goblin picked up a pack of biscuits and enthusiastically sold them: "This is the latest elf biscuit. One piece of it can save people from eating for three days. This pack can cover at least three months' rations, and it only sells for 20 yuan. How about life expectancy?"

Mu You sneered secretly, because he had already seen the properties of this biscuit through the Omniscient Crystal.

Spoiled Elf Biscuit: You won't be hungry for three days after eating it, but you'll have diarrhea for three days afterwards.

If you really eat this stuff, you're afraid that you're going to collapse. It's really unscrupulous to actually sell this kind of fake and shoddy product.

However, Mu You didn't directly point it out, but scanned the other products on the booth, showing a noncommittal expression, and suddenly said, "Do you sell information here?"

"intelligence?"

The goblin was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting a fisherman on the other side to ask such a question, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Sell, of course sell, but generally, the information that can be sold is more valuable..."

Mu You immediately glared at it with displeasure: "Why, do you think I can't afford it?"

"No, no, just ask."

The goblin merchant quickly changed his words. It has been in business for many years and has already developed extraordinary eyesight, so it can be seen immediately that the fisherman seems to have confidence in his words. Maybe he has an adventure outside and is holding a huge sum of money, waiting to squander.

So it immediately changed its attitude, rubbing its hands and looking at Mu You flatteringly: "What information do you want to ask, just ask!"

"The information I want to ask is about a ship named 'Ghost'."

"Ghost?"

The goblin was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed. He said to himself, "You have asked the right person. I guarantee that I am the only one in Sunset City who knows this news! Because I was the only one who had seen the survivor of that ship."

"Survivor? You mean, that ship sank?" Mu You frowned.

"This belongs to the content of intelligence. You can tell you only after you buy it. It's not expensive, and it only needs one year of life!" said the goblin.

"Yes, I bought it." Mu You nodded without hesitation.

[You agree to the intelligence transaction with the goblin merchant, lifespan -1. 】

The moment he agreed, a reminder sounded in his mind.

And the goblin had obviously received the reminder, and after a moment of joy, he hurriedly said, "In the southern sea thousands of kilometers away from Sunset City, there is a piece of water called the 'Devil's Zone', that triangular sea area, It is said that they have been cursed forever, and those who died in the devil sea area will have their bodies corroded by the curse, and their bodies cannot be revived, so they will become earth-bound ghosts after death, and will be trapped in that sea area forever."

"However, more than seven hundred years ago, the Ghost ship hit a reef in that sea of ​​devils, and the ship was wrecked, and all the more than 400 crew members on board died at the bottom of the sea. survived."

The goblin said, took out an old sheepskin scroll from his body, and said with a smile: "The pirate who escaped also died in an accident three years ago. I paid a lot of money to get it from that pirate. The map I bought marked the wreck location of the Ghost. Now, you only need to spend a little more life to buy this map, you see..."

Sure enough, there is a backhand!

Mu Youxin said that this guy was playing the same trick as that black-hearted scarecrow, that information only sells for one year of life, but the real valuable things are waiting behind.

"Show me the map." Mu You reached out to ask for it.

"This is not acceptable, you have to buy it to watch it." The goblin hastily and vigilantly put away the parchment.

"How long does it take to live?"

"Not expensive, 500 years!" said the goblin, spreading his hand.

Mu You's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself, could these profiteers see the balance of his life? How can he always bid against his lifespan limit?

In the past, Muyou would definitely use a pocket watch at this time, and prostitute its map for nothing.

But this time it doesn't need to be so troublesome.

"It's a bit expensive!" Mu You frowned.

"It's not expensive! Boss, think about it, as long as you have this map, you can get all the treasures left by the pirates. It only has a lifespan of 500 years. This is definitely a lucrative business!" The goblin said hurriedly.

Mu You sneered when he heard the words, this guy only mentioned the benefits, but didn't mention the danger at all. Is the pirate's treasure so easy to get? The death of 400 crew members means that there are more than 400 ghosts on the pirate ship. Ordinary people in the past are absolutely dead.

I'm afraid this guy would like to wait for him to die before selling the information to others.

"How can I be sure that your map and information are true?" Mu You thought for a while and asked.

"You can rest assured about this! For such a large order, we can sign a blood contract to guarantee that there will be no fakes."

The goblin was overjoyed when he saw Mu You's intentional move, and hurriedly took out another somewhat familiar scroll from his body, which was the blood contract scroll that Mu You had used.

"This blood contract is priced at 100 years of life. If you buy the map, I will give it to you for free!"

Mu You is really ahhh, a blood contract scroll dares to be sold for a hundred years, it's not like he hasn't seen other people trade this thing on the forum, and the lifespan of ten years is as good as the sky.

"No hurry, I'll look at other things first."

Muyou remained calm, folded his hands on his chest, glanced around its booth, pretended to browse the goods, shook his head after a while and said: "Your place is full of rags, there are no real good things Sell?"

"Yes, I have!"

Hearing this, the goblin hurriedly took out two more things from his body, a stone and a beetle.

"Look, this is a punching stone, it's used for slotting equipment, and it's sold for 60 years."

"This is called a scout beetle, the latest alchemy creature. It looks exactly like an ordinary beetle. After it is released, it can eavesdrop on the movement in the surrounding environment. The price is 70 years of life."

"Look, how about these two things?"

"Well, so-so..."

Seeing that it only took out two small things, Mu You guessed that this guy probably had more valuable things on him, but he kept asking questions, even if he didn't consume them, it probably made the other party wary to a certain extent.

The goblin race is very shrewd, and they won't take out valuable things easily.

"Well, it's not bad...give me the map, after signing the blood contract, I'll buy it." Mu You said.

The goblin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly took out the map and the blood contract scroll.

As a result, the moment the map was taken out, Mu You snatched the two things in its hand at a very fast speed, then rolled it around the booth, took a few things away, and then turned around and ran away.

"Um?"

The goblin was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the empty palm.

In the next second, a sharp voice echoed in the sunset city at night: "Robbery! Someone is robbing in the street!"
