Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

The sun was intense.

The subsequent gentle warm breeze made Tan Shuchang feel somewhat surreal.

Was there such a place in this eerie game?

Accustomed to gloomy settings, Tan Shuchang was quite unprepared when he suddenly encountered a place bathed in sunlight.

However, this discomfort lasted only a very short time, barely even a breath. Then, Tan Shuchang walked up to a few people who had appeared before him and greeted them cheerfully, "Good morning!"

There were three men and two women, five in total. Their attire, needless to say, was entirely different from Tan Shuchang's luxurious and elegant clothes.

At least, the way those two women dressed, the enchantresses and witches of the Jiawu Realm wouldn't dare to dress like that.

Bare arms and legs.

But this was merely a cultural difference, so it wasn't something to fuss over.

At that moment, the three men and two women looked quite solemn, but upon hearing Tan Shuchang's greeting, which was somewhat out of place, they all stared at him blankly.

Then, one of the men, though his face showed a hint of displeasure, quickly said, "We are from the Yujing Association, and we are leading this time. Just follow our orders, and we will ensure your survival."

Tan Shuchang hadn't expected such a remark from them; it seemed that this so-called "Yujing Association" must be a very powerful group within this bizarre game.

They not only had a large number of players but also possessed considerable strength.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so confidently assertive.

However, Tan Shuchang wasn't here to seek protection. So, with a sincere expression, he said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not here for protection. I'm here to ask where the ghost is?"

Last time, although he had captured a ghost that seemed like his half-sister from a different father, it had taken a long time.

But that was because last time, he was the only player!

But now, not only were there other players, these people seemed to know something about this place. Tan Shuchang wasn't willing to wait patiently for the ghost to show up on its own like before.

He wanted to drag that ghost out of hiding himself!

Hearing what Tan Shuchang said, the three men and two women were all stunned. The man who had responded to Tan Shuchang frowned instantly, wanting to scold him.

Because the Yujing Association was a special institution!

This person in front of them, after all, seemed somewhat clueless and even lacked the most basic respect towards them.

However, at this moment, one of the women spoke first, "This is an instance provided voluntarily by a player. Although we have experience with this kind of instances, no one can know where the ghost is before it appears. It might even initially appear in the form of a player and only transform into a ghost when the time is right."

"Player-provided instance?" Tan Shuchang exclaimed, surprised.

"What? You didn't know?" The woman, equally surprised by Tan Shuchang's reaction, because when player-provided instances first made an appearance, they caused quite a stir. Even people who were not players of the eerie game knew quite a bit.

"I didn't know," Tan Shuchang shook his head truthfully.

The woman looked at Tan Shuchang strangely but eventually, seeing his face and his unique aura, she explained, "Instances provided by players typically involve severe criminal cases, requiring at least a double-digit death toll before they are accepted by the eerie game."

"And once accepted by the eerie game, this type of instance is the most special because there are no rules to follow. But fortunately, the capability of the player who sacrificed the instance site before their death determines the upper limit of this instance."

At this point, the woman did not continue, but Tan Shuchang had already understood her meaning. The strength of players was generally inferior to that of fierce ghosts, which thereby reduced the overall danger level of these instances.

However, this wasn't particularly good news for Tan Shuchang!

He was here to search for cultivation resources.

This ghost's strength was not strong, what was he to do since his special abilities made him constantly gain and lose what he'd acquired?

"Thank you for letting me know," Tan Shuchang expressed his thanks, then decided to walk around and explore. After all, his previous gaming experience had shown him that players had a lot of freedom before the ghosts appeared.

However, among the three men and two women, the man who had previously shown impatience and displeasure towards Tan Shuchang could not help but scold, "Can you not understand human speech?"

"Why would you say something like this, my friend?" Tan Shuchang looked at the man, and at the same time, two lotuses slowly blossomed in his eyes.

As soon as the lotuses appeared, the man reacted as if struck by lightning, retreating with a pale face.

"This is..."

"Ghost technique!"

At that moment, in this eerie game instance, several other players appeared, and they all happened to witness this scene.

Immediately, these players were more shocked than the next.

Although ghost technique was something all players could master, mastering such power was not easy. It not only required extremely good physical condition, but each use also caused irreversible damage to the body.

Therefore, players who possessed ghost technique generally would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Tan Shuchang didn't care about them; the scene in front of him was a village. However, unlike the villages usually known, this one had concrete roads everywhere, and even the village's main road was asphalt.

There were trees along the roads, but most were just saplings, shorter than an adult, and a child could easily break their branches.

And the buildings in the village were all very neat and uniform.

Clearly, this village had been very prosperous before it was sacrificed by a player. The villagers had high incomes, and the local economy was well developed.

As Tan Shuchang looked around, he suddenly noticed that a player was approaching him.

After taking a closer look at the person, his expression grew strange, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

This player was a young man with a slightly effeminate look, clean and fair-skinned, with a frail demeanor like a young girl.

Of course, that was the image in other players' eyes.

In Tan Shuchang's eyes, this description needed to be supplemented by another phrase: enveloped in a dark aura.

And this dark aura was a manifestation of a sinister energy.

Therefore, without waiting for the other person to speak, Tan Shuchang made his move, after all, the opponent was coming right to him, what was there to delay?

Thus, before the player could even reveal his true form, he was folded up and tucked into Tan Shuchang's robe.

The method was the same as last time, folded and then folded again.

Simple and brutal.

At the same time, blood-red text also appeared in the sky here.

[A ghost has been detected disappearing, the instance will end early, players please note, there will be adverse reactions when exiting, drinking more hot water can help recover.]

Tan Shuchang naturally saw this line of text as well.

"There's another one?"

He had acted too early!
