Chapter 61 Acrobats

Two prompts sounded almost simultaneously, with less than half a second between them.

Fang Yue didn't even bother to see what state he'd entered before immediately withdrawing his attention.

Are you… doing acrobatics?

Although Fang Yue didn't care what this wave of blood mist was, the unlucky members of the long spear team were shrouded within it.

They suddenly screamed and rolled on the ground, with small, bloody bubbles emerging from their bodies, sprouting like bamboo shoots after rain, quickly covering their entire bodies.

With a *pop*, the first blood bubble burst, leaving a bloody mess where it exploded.

In that instant, the unlucky team member was confused, desperate, and in pain, even looking toward him with an expression Fang Yue couldn't decipher.

And then, in the next moment.

*Pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop!*

The blood bubbles burst one after another, and the unlucky team members were blown into a bloody mess, their corpses collapsing without even a vaguely human shape.

The remaining four numbered prisoners saw the unlucky team fall, but Fang Yue stood there as if nothing had happened. Their originally lifeless eyes now revealed a sense of confusion.

"Why are you okay?"

The person who asked this question was a little… off.

A flash of fire, and in that prisoner's eyes, Fang Yue appeared before him as if teleporting.

Before this [Jia-character 17] could say anything, Fang Yue's fire fist had already smashed into his forehead, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the wall. His head was half-sunken, and he was already motionless.

"You…"

[Jia-character 16] had something to say, but Fang Yue easily pierced his chest with a condensed fire blade, forcing [Jia-character 16] to swallow his words.

When Fang Yue pulled the blade back, [Jia-character 16] lay stiffly on the ground, staring blankly at the bright ceiling, devoid of life.

"Don't move!"

"You're under our control!"

[Jia-character 15] and [Jia-character 14] seemed to be twin brothers, one with a nosebleed from his left nostril, the other with a nosebleed from his right, standing on either side of Fang Yue.

And strangely, under the light of the Human Soul Lamp, Fang Yue's shadow seemed to be controlled by their two shadows.

Fang Yue looked at the two in confusion and performed a Fire God Kagura.

That is, using himself as the center, he spun in a circle with his fire blade.

And as Fang Yue made his move, the shadow that had been entangled by the two on the ground instantly synchronized with Fang Yue, completing the spinning motion.

The twin brothers' heads flew off, landing on the ground, and their headless bodies followed suit.

Fang Yue: ?

What kind of fancy stuff is this?

Fang Yue thought that such a large underground chamber, hiding so many secrets, should be guarded by someone powerful.

But this is it?

Just these acrobats?

If you put these guys on the streets of Qing Si County, I could wield two watermelon knives and hack from East Street to West Street, and from West Street to East Street, without even blinking!

If there was anything impressive about these people…

Fang Yue looked at the five prisoner brothers from the acrobat troupe.

Then it's that… the methods of these five were somewhat similar to the feeling of a Guai.

That's right, it was similar to the special abilities and characteristics that Guai possessed.

But it was just imitation, or rather, very low-level, and couldn't compare to the real Guai abilities.

It might be useful against ordinary martial artists, but it was completely useless against Fang Yue.

Even so, the Guai-like moves they used still left Fang Yue feeling somewhat puzzled.

[Guai Essence], head extraction, prisoners, Guai abilities…

Fang Yue frowned.

Could it be that… the Ningfu people are actually collecting those special people, those with the ability to create [Guai Essence], and then, by extracting [Guai Essence], humans can possess abilities similar to Guai?

Thinking deeper, Fang Yue vaguely felt that his guess was actually a little on point.

But it was just a guess, and the truth was unknown.

But he didn't know, but someone probably did.

"Come out." Fang Yue called out towards the corner ahead.

Eh?!

A person wearing a white coat trembled, walking out of the corner in fear, looking at Fang Yue with soft legs, squeezing out a smile that was worse than crying.

"G-Good day, boss!"

Originally, Fang Yue didn't feel anything when he saw someone wearing a white coat, but when this guy blurted out "Good day, boss," Fang Yue suddenly realized something.

Damn, I'm in a game!

In an ancient setting, who wears a white coat!

Plus, that friendly tone.

"Brother, nice clothes."

"B-Boss likes them? Take them! Take them! I had the tailor make several, I can change them ten times a day without repeating!"

As he said that, the man took off his white coat and threw it to Fang Yue.

But he didn't seem to have learned martial arts, and his basic attributes were poor, so the white coat floated lightly to the ground.

The man froze, looking at Fang Yue with extreme tension, utterly humble.

"What's your name?"

Fang Yue walked over.

"I'm called Misty Morning…"

"Morning ah, how many years have you worked here? Are you familiar with the roads here? Why did you attack me with them? What is this place? And what are those prisoners doing…"

Fang Yue's questions came one after another, leaving Morning confused.

Especially the question, 'How many years have you worked here,' had the feeling of a boss asking himself questions.

Familiarity with disgust, disgust dripping with vomiting, vomiting with the urge to kill.

But, he couldn't act on impulse.

Because the madman in front of him was more impulsive.

Forcing a dry laugh, Morning said cautiously: "I, I was just caught here to do research.

My childhood dream was to become a scientist. Since I didn't get the chance in reality, I projected my dream into the game.

I heard that the game is different from reality, a completely new world. On the research level, everyone's starting point is the same, and they can do research, so I bought a game watch and came in…"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Fang Yue's face darkened, interrupting: "Get to the point."

"Oh, oh! I got excited, don't be angry, big brother. I saw you cutting down those experimental subjects so easily. Is this the overall strength of the current players? Too strong! I'm ordered around by NPCs here all day. Big brother, to be honest, when I'm here, I only feel that we players are too humble! Until now, I met you, like meeting the light! What was that saying… it's our duty to rebuild the glory of the players!"

Fang Yue: ???

No, get to the point, where's the point? What are you talking about?

This intelligence… oh, this EQ can also be a researcher, and even mixed into the NPCs to deal with me. If it wasn't for the obvious white coat, I would have killed him with a single strike.

Fang Yue looked suspiciously at Morning's thick hair.

"You… don't have many friends, do you?"

"Ah?"

"Have you considered performing in a circus?"
