Chapter 1: The Life and Death Formation (Prelude...)

  The light faded away, and the scenery around had changed.

  Here, it's no longer the bright light of 'the city of duplicates', the magnificent buildings and the surging crowds. What remains is only a dark night shrouded in dark clouds, gloomy and humid air, and one after another dilapidated ancient buildings.

  A strand of pale green gas floated in the air, smelling pungent and irritating.

  Liu Yun scanned the surroundings in a circle. This place was still so familiar. The memories in her mind began to overlap with the scenery here.

  The river crab stood stupidly in place, still not coming out of its shock.

  Before entering the copy, he did not notice that mark until after entering the copy, he received a prompt from the system...

  "Imperial... imperial-class..."

  The crab is muttering to itself, and its brain is a complete blank.

  He began to suspect that this was a suicidal copycat action...

  "It's gone!"

  Liu Yun bumped into the crab's arm and took out the Langya sword, walking along the green brick path in front of him.

  The river crab was taken aback and saw Liu Yun leaving in a hurry, so he quickly followed up.

  The gloomy environment, coupled with the faint and eerie howling sounds, made this place extremely spooky. The river crab took out a rusty long spear and cautiously followed behind Liu Yun.

  Liu Yun's eyes kept scanning the roadsides, suddenly, his gaze froze on a large stone covered with moss.

  Liu Yun's face lit up with joy, and he hastily ran over to move the large stone away.

  Ding! System: You have found an unused packet of Yang Scales Powder.

  That's right, it is indeed here.

  Liu Yun smiled with relief and took out the brown bag containing Yang Lin powder from under the big stone.

  "What is this?"

  "Yang Lin powder, something essential for killing monsters!"

  Liu Yun opened the bag and applied the Yanglin powder to the Langya sword.

  Ding! System: Your weapon 'Langya Sword' has obtained the effect of 'Yanglin Powder', with a 15% damage increase in attacks, lasting for 20 minutes. This effect is only valid in the 'Wuyuan Ghost Domain' instance.

  The Yang Lin powder took effect, and a faint brown glow immediately emanated from the Lang Xie sword.

  The crab tried to apply the remaining Yang Scales Powder on the long gun, and immediately, the system's voice stunned him.

  This is simply the divine artifact of this copy!!

  "How come no one has ever mentioned this treasure before? You... how did you know about it?" the crayfish muttered.

  How many of the Yang scales powder can be found here? How did he know that? The crab's heart was full of doubts, but Liu Yun just shook his head and didn't explain.

  The two of them walked a few steps forward, and the small path came to an end. At the end was a vast open space like a playground, with some scattered gravel and several rotting corpses hanging with shredded flesh swaying gently.

  "These monsters are labeled as second-tier human-level creatures, but they can all rival the elite of the outer world's second-tier humans! Be careful!"

  The river crab isn't brainless and has some understanding of this monster's overall strength.

  "You're wrong, this is an emperor-level realm. The strength of these monsters is equivalent to the BOSS of a second-layer human."

  Liu Yun corrected him with one sentence.

  "Is that your boss?"

  He heard this and his face turned even uglier.

  The little monsters are all equivalent to BOSS, can we still beat them?

  "Their experience is very high, solve them in 5 minutes!"

  Willow Cloud Path

  "5 minutes?" Are you kidding me? There are at least 7 of them here, one minute per kill is not enough...

  "Do you see the gap in the middle of that pile of rubble in the corner?"

  Liu Yun pointed to a long crack surrounded by broken stones next to the collapsed wall in the corner.

  "I see." The river crab nodded silently.

  "We'll get started on that soon!"

  "How did you manage?"

  "How much is your cultivation worth?"

  "There are now 1.1 million undead!" River Crab said proudly.

  1.1 million, in today's "Xuanjie", absolutely considered elite, unfortunately the equipment of He Xie is as ugly as shit.

  "That's enough, your undead value is so high, your vitality must be very strong!! Wait a minute, I'll pull the monster, and we'll output over there!"

  Willow Cloud Path

  "Isn't that seeking death? The attacks of these monsters are ridiculously high!! Even if I'm an immortal, I may not be able to withstand it!" River Crab's face turned pale as he shook his head.

  "Don't worry, these monsters can't hurt you! Go quickly!"

  After finishing speaking, Liu Yun ran over first and drilled into the narrow slit.

  The river crab saw him and, having no choice, also ran over. If it weren't for the beautiful player in the palace that day saying he was a master, the river crab would have retreated long ago...

  The narrow cave had rubble and debris on both sides, looking as if it would collapse at any moment.

  She stood still for a moment, then quickly took out a row of amulets from her bag and pinched them, closing her eyes to chant.

  "When soldiers are in combat, they all form up in front and advance."

  The nine-character mantra was finished, and he suddenly opened his eyes, flinging the amulet in his hand out!

  Tweet!

  An amulet flew swiftly through the air and suddenly ignited, carrying a fierce flame that stuck to the forehead of a nearby rotting corpse holding a long knife.

  Boom!

  - 5.5% (percentage sign), actual damage.

  The amulet explodes, dealing moderate damage.

  The corpse turned its head and saw the person in this hole, suddenly furious, rushed over.

  He saw a crab, his face turned somewhat pale, his hands tightly grasped the long gun, and a resolute expression floated on his clear face.

  "Stand right there, don't move, don't go out!"

  Liu Yun finished speaking and began to go all out, throwing another Soul Fire Talisman over.

  At this time, the corpse also rushed over, raised a big knife and charged into the cave.

  The crab appeared, his heart racing wildly, and he hastily tried to raise his long spear to defend himself. However, the cave was extremely narrow, and he could only use his spear to stab forward. The jagged rocks on both sides pinned down the tip and tail of his spear, making it impossible for him to turn it around to defend himself.

  Seeing this, the river crab was greatly alarmed and almost subconsciously squatted down, wanting to hide.

  "Don't move! Stay as you are, you won't get stabbed! Go all out!"

  At this time, Liu Yun, who was standing behind Heiwa's head, suddenly shouted.

  The river crab subconsciously maintained its movement, not daring to move.

  And at this moment, the blade of the rotten corpse pierced into the hole, however... in front of the river crab, it suddenly stopped just an inch away.

  The crab was stunned, but saw the corpse's body constantly twisting and turning, its arms wanting to move forward again. However, its body was sturdy and thick, bigger than two people by a circle, so it couldn't enter this gap between the rocks. The attack distance couldn't advance even half an inch, the knife edge was only an inch away from the crab, but it was out of reach, unable to kill...

  The crab saw it, his mind went blank, and a shocking thought flashed through his brain.

  "Is it possible... he knew all along?"

  "The attack range of both the Shadow Dagger Corpse and the Shadow Sword Corpse cannot reach us at this position, so just go all out! Wait for me to pull away the six melee mobs, then we'll gang up on that last Shadow Mage. Remember, you tank!"

  Liu Yun said while casting his Soul Fire Seal.

  "So it was like that!"

  The crab heard this and was overjoyed: it seemed that he had not chosen the wrong person, this guy was not an idiot, but a high player!! A high player who dared to use two people to clear the emperor-level instance copy!!!

  I'm so lucky today!!

  The river crab was thoroughly excited, raising its long spear and stabbing fiercely while thinking.

  "Be careful!"

  Suddenly, Liu Yun shouted.

  The crab was stunned and looked away, only to see the rotten corpse at the seam suddenly open its mouth and spit out a lump of yellow stuff that rushed towards him.

  Plop!! System: You have been infected with the corrosive fluid of the Shadow Corpse.

  '——59 (percent sign) Vitality.'

  His vitality suddenly dropped by more than half, and Hei Xie saw it, cold sweat dripping down, and he hastily took out the blood medicine to feed him.

  "This is their only remote skill, generally once a minute, don't worry! Speed it up." said Liu Yun.

  Because of the application of Yang Scales Powder, the two's output was extremely terrifying. Relying on this special terrain card, soon, three Yin Knife Corpses and three Yin Sword Corpses were hung up. Of course, during this time, River Crab didn't eat less of these corpses' mouthwater.

  Dropped a Extinctionist's Wristguard, belongs to Liu Yun now. The River Crab won't intentionally fight for it either, because the experience these six monsters gave was truly astonishing - one of them alone gave 510 points of cultivation value, which is almost comparable to BOSS experience if placed outside.

  But anyway, this place is indeed capable of rivaling the BOSS outside.

  The two of them recovered their status, and the river crab took the lead in getting up and launching an attack on the last corpse holding a staff.

  Near the rotting corpse, the river crab lifted its foot and stomped heavily, unleashing its "Shockwave Stomp" skill. With great force, it stomped the ground, causing the earth to shake violently, sending shockwaves in all directions. Anyone touched by the shockwaves would enter a dazed state.

  Liu Yun didn't dare to be careless, and called out the Earth Guardian. The two of them started a brutal and inhumane beating on the corpse of Yin Fa.

  The Dark Law Corpse's attack was extremely high, one move could knock out two-thirds of the life force of a highly cultivated undead like the River Crab. If it were Liu Yun, he would have been killed instantly, but fortunately, the River Crab took the hit and immediately suppressed it, relying on Liu Yun's astonishing output, the Dark Law Corpse couldn't last for a few seconds before falling down.

  It's really hard to beat if it were a 5-man team and didn't use Shattered Stone to card monsters.

  Unexpectedly, Yin Fa's corpse didn't come out of the east.

  "Isn't it said that the Emperor's drops are plentiful? How did killing seven monsters only yield one wrist guard?! What a waste!"

  The crab sat on the ground, poured some medicine into its mouth and grumbled at the empty space in front of it.

  "It's either a blank slate or an extreme masterpiece! The equipment doesn't have to be much, but it has to be refined. There will be surprises later!"

  Liu Yun grasped the Langya sword and continued on his way.

  The river crab hastily stood up and followed.

  Through the previously empty space, what entered the eyes of the two was a small path covered with green grass. The path had dense big trees on both sides, as if they had arrived at the back mountain.

  As they walked here, the willow cloud that was walking in front suddenly slowed down its pace, crouched down, eyes fixed on the ground, and moved forward step by step.

  "Older brother, what are you doing?" The river crab was extremely admiring of Liu Yun at this time and wouldn't feel puzzled by his strange actions.

  "Search for trap arrays!"

  Liu Yun muttered a sentence casually.

  Investigate the trap formation?

  The crab is covered with dew.

  "Stand right there, don't move!" Yu Yun suddenly furrowed her brow.

  "Oh... alright!" The river crab nodded and didn't ask Liu Yun for a reason.

  But then Liu Yun crouched down and slowly moved forward, the Langya sword in his hand gently parting the wild grass that grew on the small path.

  Suddenly, a faint light flashed in the wild grass, and Liu Yun's eyes condensed, her nerves trembling, her feet forcefully pushing off, and she jumped back like a frog.

  Wow!!!!!!!!!

  That place flashing with light suddenly burst open.

  "Is this a landmine?"

  The crab was taken aback at first sight.

  "This isn't a landmine, it's just a reminder!"

  Liu Yun stabilized her body and continued to crouch down, moving forward.

  "Reminder?"

  The river crab is full of misty water, but it doesn't dare ask more questions. It watches as the willow cloud steps forward step by step towards the front.

  There is another chapter tonight, and all the questions in the book review have been dealt with, so everyone can go take a look.
