Chapter 085: Virtual Online Game?

  When the warm sunlight shone through the window onto Zhao Rui's face, he slowly opened his eyes to find himself lying on a soft and fluffy bed. Not far away, Zhang Heng was sitting on the floor with his back to him.

  "Hehe, you've slept for so long, you're finally awake." Zhang Heng put the inner elixir of the Haotian Snake Dragon King into his clothes and turned to smile slightly at Zhao Rui.

  "Big brother......" Zhao Rui's eyes reddened slightly, with a hint of emotion, sincerely gazing at Zhang Heng.

  Zhang Heng felt a bit inexplicable and asked in surprise: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

  "Big brother let me sleep on the bed, but he himself sat on the floor for a whole night... it makes me feel deeply ashamed." Zhao Rui said this with eyes that still showed signs of moisture.

  When he understood what was going on, Zhang Heng almost burst out laughing on the spot, this guy was too ridiculous.

  Zhang Heng didn't sleep, of course, was to take this opportunity to improve his strength a bit. If he really wanted to sleep, he could squeeze in with Zhao Rui. Even if he wasn't used to sleeping with others, relying on Zhang Heng's current reputation as "Breaking the Void", it would be easy to open another room in this inn.

  "Second brother, I think you've misunderstood, I've been cultivating here for a whole night..." Zhang Heng explained.

  Zhao Rui interrupted Zhang Heng's words and said sincerely: "Big brother, I can understand your intentions. You are also cultivating here because of me."

  He couldn't help but glance at the young man with a mixture of disappointment and resignation, Zhang Heng let out a silent sigh, it seemed there was no need to explain anything anymore, this kid only thought about good things, and even if he did try to explain, it would be pointless.

  After the two of them finished their meal at the inn, Zhang Heng said to Zhao Rui: "Second Brother, after entering the Blood Kill Cave Mansion, everyone must obtain three Blood Kill Marks. You haven't obtained a single one yet, have you?"

  "Blood Kill Mark?" Zhao Rui hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly: "But to get this thing, I must kill people. Many of the cultivators I've met are from Fangyun Mountain... and I also can't bear to kill people."

  Zhao Rui's response was not unexpected by Zhang Heng, who pondered for a moment before saying: "If you can't get three Blood Kill Marks, you'll be stuck here forever. Why don't you take some time to kill a few second-tier demon beasts? That way, you can also obtain Blood Kill Marks."

  "Alright, I'll listen to you, big brother." Zhao Rui smiled slyly.

  Zhang Heng nodded and took Zhao Rui out of the inn.

  "See you off, senior!" The day before yesterday, Zhang Heng was beaten by Zhang Heng and stood at the door of the inn, respectfully saying that he naturally had a color of worship in his eyes towards Zhang Heng.

  Zhang Heng stopped and asked casually: "Does every shop in Fanjia Town have a thug like you?"

  Fan Man hastily replied: "As Master Fan said, it is indeed the case. We do this to prevent outsiders from eating and lodging here without paying."

  It's really as I expected, Blood Kill Emperor arranged it this way, isn't he sincerely trying to make the cultivators who enter this place suffer?

  "Big brother, aren't we leaving here? Luo Shijie has also invited us to visit her place." Zhao Rui asked.

  "We'll just keep wandering around here..." Zhang Heng said.

  The two continued walking forward along this street, and when Zhang Heng walked to a certain place, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

  "You stinky little brat, how dare you steal from me?"

  Man Wan Zheng was grasping the collar of Man Xiao Hei with his hand, with a look of contempt on his face and spitting out saliva.

  "Our family's reputation in Fangjiazhuang has been ruined by you. Your parents died early, and I even gave you a lot of silver at the time... Who would have thought that you'd end up like this..."

  Man Wan's face was full of resentment and anger, constantly scolding Xiao Hei.

  ……

  "That's Xiao Hei! Didn't he already leave Fangjia Town?" Zhao Rui exclaimed in surprise.

  Zhao Ruigang wanted to go forward, but was caught by Zhang Heng's hand.

  "Don't move." Zhang Heng's face was calm and steady, but in his heart, he was secretly sneering.

  It seems that everything that happened here is an illusion, or it can be said that it was a play set up by the Blood God Emperor in advance.

  If Zhang Heng wasn't mistaken, the incident triggered by Fan Xiaobei's theft would occur once a day in this town. Once a monk lent a helping hand, it would trigger subsequent accidents.

  In short, this is equivalent to a plot quest in an online game.

  And this "plot quest", Zhang Heng and Zhao Rui both participated once, I'm afraid they can't participate again, after all, the Blood Killing God Emperor won't be a fool.

  He took out the silver ingot from his body, gently stroking it with his hand, and gazed at the words engraved on the side of the silver:

  Blood washes over Fangjia Town, pardoning the gates of life and death.

  Pardon for life and death? This silver thing is definitely related to the things inside the Blood Kill Temple. With this object in hand, after entering that temple, who knows what surprises there might be.

  Under the gaze of Zhang Heng and Zhao Rui, Fan Xiaohei was overjoyed to receive the silver given by Fan Baiwan, and then left.

  "Follow him." Zhang Heng's expression turned stern as he followed Zhao Rui once again.

  Just like before, when Wan Xiao Hei walked to a certain place, he was blocked by a group of thugs.

  "Venerable Xiao Hei! You stop right there!" a burly man with a bare chest and exposed nipples shouted.

  "Venerable Three... it's you again..." Venerable Xiaohei showed a look of fear.

  "Slap!" Old Man Fang gave him a slap on the ear without saying another word.

  "Hand over the silver you just got!" Yan Lao San kicked Yan Xiao Hei to the ground with one foot.

  "Waaahhh... This silver is mine... Can't give it to you guys... I already gave you some last time." Fang Xiaohei curled up his body, refusing to hand over the silver coins in his hands.

  "Take him down!" With a wave of his hand, Old Man Fan immediately had over a dozen men punching and kicking Fan Xiahei.

  ……

  "Big brother, what's going on?" Zhao Rui couldn't help but ask.

  Zhang Heng naturally couldn't use online games as a comparison to explain, and calmly said: "You can consider everything that happens here as false."

  "Fake......" Zhao Rui suddenly said: "Could it be an illusion?"

  Zhang Heng didn't make a sound, but he felt that everything happening here wasn't an illusion. Every person here gave him a sense of reality, more real than virtual online games.

  This time, Zhang Heng and Zhao Rui did not stop the gang from beating Fan Xiaohei. After a while, Fan Xiaohei was beaten half to death, and his silver coins were taken away.

  "Xiao Hei, are you okay?" Just then, the boy who had rushed over to deliver the message yesterday arrived.

  Unexpectedly, the boy didn't mention anything about something happening at his home.

  Zhang Heng's eyes flashed with a hint of divine light. Could it be that without the participation of cultivators, the next step in the plot would not unfold?

  To prove their conjecture, Zhang Heng and Zhao Rui followed the two boys back to Fan Xiaohuai's home.

  After arriving at the gate of the house, a fairly good-looking girl about fifteen or sixteen years old came out.

  "Xiao Hei? How did you get beaten up like this?" The girl anxiously hugged Xiao Hei into her arms.

  "Sister, I'm fine, really nothing's wrong..." Yan Xiao Hei said with a smile to his sister.

  Tears flowed out of the girl's eyes as she wept: "It's all because sister is incompetent and can't support this family."

  "I'm a man... how can I let my sister support me?" Yan Xiao Hei said stubbornly.

  ……

  "Let's go." Zhang Heng felt a mix of emotions in his heart as he left with Zhao Rui.

  "Big brother, let's leave here, I feel this place is very strange..." Zhao Rui suggested.

  Now that he understood the nature of this town, Zhang Heng didn't want to stay here any longer.

  Although there may still be some "plot tasks" here, Zhang Heng believes that in this Blood Kill Cave Mansion, there should be many more places to explore.

  At this moment, Zhang Heng felt as if he had entered a world similar to that of an online virtual game.

  If that's really the case? Zhang Heng was secretly delighted in his heart, and the advantage he had as a person who crossed over from a virtual online game on Earth should not be small.

  "Second brother, keep the silver ingot you got in your hand well, it will be useful later." Zhang Heng exhorted.

  "Big brother, I'll listen to you." Zhao Rui replied without hesitation.
