Chapter 69

"Quite good, I am a player... I haven't heard of any other player organizations around here, so it seems you are a solo player, hahaha, just right for me. I haven't tried killing a player yet, I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what it will be like to turn your corpse into a zombie after I kill you."

The man in the black robe, who looked more like a shaman than a martial artist, laughed sinisterly as he looked at Su Peng.

Su Peng looked at Ling Xiaoyu and found that she had lost consciousness. It was probably because the incense the black-robed player had used was too potent, and Ling Xiaoyu had already exhausted her internal energy.

"Just now, in the depths of the inner cave, I saw clearly. As a player, you actually protected an NPC... truly nauseating righteousness, hahaha... Don't worry, since this female NPC has run into my hands, I won't be polite and will take her. This game is really great, the adult details are so realistic, I will take good care of her, hahaha... I will also take the gold notes on her." The black-robed man was very pleased and laughed loudly at Su Peng.

Su Peng looked at him coldly and said, "In real life, you must be a pervert too."

"What I am in real life is none of your business!" Su Peng's words seemed to touch a nerve, and the black-robed man coldly shouted. Then he looked at Su Peng and suddenly laughed coldly, saying, "At this point, you're still being stubborn... If you cry and beg me not to kill you, perhaps I will let you off..."

"What's the big deal?" Su Peng sneered, "It's just a game. If you want to kill my in-game body, go ahead. What can you do to me?"

"Huh?" The black-robed man's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He looked at Su Peng for a long time and then burst into a wild laugh, "Hahaha... So you're just a stupid fish, you don't even know the truth about this game!"

"Truth?" Su Peng's heart stirred as he looked at the black-robed man.

"This game is not as simple as you think... Do you want to know the truth? I bet you'll cry when you find out..." The black-robed man's eyes seemed to carry a mocking pity as he looked at Su Peng and said to himself, "Should I tell you now... or let you go to your death in confusion, and in your final moments, be so scared that you wet your pants, and die in infinite regret? Hahaha... Just thinking about it is exciting."

The black-robed man laughed maniacally, his body trembling with excitement.

"Pervert..." Su Peng muttered, but he also felt something was off.

"Pervert or not, it's not just you who calls me that. I've decided... I'll let you die in confusion. You'll never understand, hahaha... That's how it will be!" The black-robed man seemed to have made up his mind and said.

As he spoke, he squatted down and touched Su Peng's chest, saying, "You're quite fit... Since I'm going to kill you, I'll tell you what will happen. I'll use a small knife to gently cut the veins in your neck. You'll feel your blood slowly flowing out, warm and itchy. Your body will go numb, your consciousness will blur, and you'll fall into fear. Your eyes will be open but you won't see anything..."

"Don't worry, it's not over yet. See the zombie on the ground? Its teeth are still there. I'll stick the zombie's teeth into your neck. Soon, you'll be infected with zombie poison. With my catalyst, you'll turn into a zombie... Under my powder, you'll become a zombie I can control, and you'll only follow my orders... Hahaha, the thought of turning a living player into a zombie excites me!"

Su Peng saw that a part of the black-robed man's body under the robe had risen.

"Disgusting..." Su Peng thought, but his body was weak and he could only lie half on the ground.

At this moment, Su Peng suddenly felt a burning pain in his left hand, as if a red-hot iron was burning his palm.

"What is it?" Su Peng's left hand pressed down and felt a round object.

"It's the bead I got from the green-haired zombie's brain! It's called the Hundred Filth Bead!" Su Peng immediately thought of the black bead with an evil aura.

At this moment, Su Peng felt a burning sensation where his left hand touched the Hundred Filth Bead, but as the burning spread, his arm gradually regained some strength and sensation.

"Can this thing detoxify?" Su Peng's heart stirred, thinking that the Hundred Filth Bead might neutralize the incense he had inhaled.

"It's not enough... I need more time to regain the ability to move." Su Peng thought and began to consider his options.

"But you're really something... That zombie is already at the silver level, and you managed to kill it... Even though you used some special powder, I have to admit, your powder is very potent."

The black-robed man finally stopped laughing and continued to look at Su Peng.

Su Peng's facial muscles twitched, making a probing expression as he looked at the black-robed man and said, "Aren't you curious? What powder did I use to kill that zombie? If you let me go, I can tell you."

"Huh? You're not afraid of me killing your character?" The black-robed man looked at Su Peng with interest.

"It's not easy to train a character... It would be best to keep it. I'm a direct disciple of a hidden sect, and I have many good things from the sect. Besides the powder, I have gold and dark gold level martial arts manuals... I also know a treasure and can recommend people to join the hidden sect. If you let me go, I can consider giving these things to you."

Su Peng saw that the black-robed man was somewhat curious and immediately used a tempting tone to speak to him.

"Hidden sect?" The black-robed man hesitated, seemingly considering it.

After a while, he laughed coldly and said, "Do you think I'll fall for it so easily? If you don't hate me, that's strange. How can you keep your promise? And if you die, I can still get those things from your body. Why take the risk?"

"Hmph... You don't understand. The martial arts of my sect are not easily comprehended by ordinary people. Without the entry-level secret techniques, you can't use the manuals. If you let me go, I'll give you a dark gold internal martial arts manual and the entry-level secret techniques. After you use it, we can discuss whether to exchange the other things for my account's safety." Su Peng looked at the black-robed man and said.

The black-robed man hesitated. As an experienced player, he knew that some sects had such restrictions. Without the entry-level techniques, you couldn't learn the manuals, which was a game restriction on sect martial arts. He himself had many sinister methods but lacked internal martial arts. If there was a dark gold internal martial arts manual, it made him心动 (heart move).

"Where is your manual? If what you say is true, I might let you go." The black-robed man said to Su Peng, but in his heart, he thought, "I'll let him go for now. If I get the dark gold internal martial arts manual, I can kill him later."

"It's in my chest." Su Peng said. The black-robed man didn't suspect anything. Some martial arts manuals in the game required long-term study and didn't disappear after use. If it was a dark gold manual, it was normal to keep it close.

He slowly squatted down and reached out to touch Su Peng's chest.

"By the way, I haven't asked, which game organization are you from?" Su Peng, lying on the ground, suddenly asked the black-robed man.

"Me? It's fine to tell you, I'm from the Poison Hand Valley..." The black-robed man replied...

"Die!"

In that instant!

Su Peng, who had been preparing for a long time, grabbed the silver hook and swung it with all his might. The silver hook, like a sword, instantly cut into the black-robed man's neck!

"Pop!"

The black-robed man's neck was instantly cut open, and the hook embedded itself in his neck. His eyes widened, and he let out a loud cry, almost simultaneously striking out with his palm!

His palm was completely black! This palm strike brought a black palm wind that hit Su Peng's chest!

Su Peng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, but his right hand, which held the silver hook, did not let go. His body flew backward, and the silver hook followed, the sharp hook head catching on the black-robed man's neck. With a "pu" sound, the black-robed man's head was hooked off his neck!

"Pu!"

The headless body of the black-robed man knelt on the ground, blood gushing from his neck like a fountain, and then it fell to the ground, bleeding continuously.

His head rolled to Su Peng's side, the eyes bulging out in shock, as if he couldn't believe he had been killed by someone who couldn't move.

Su Peng, now lying on the ground, felt weak all over, his throat sweet, and he kept coughing up blood. The black-robed man's final palm strike had caused him significant damage, and he couldn't move.

"Cough... cough... Finally... I managed to kill him. That was close... But, it's good... Once the effects of the incense wear off, I'll be saved..." Su Peng lay on the ground, coughing up blood, but he felt relieved, having escaped another death.

Su Peng lay on the ground, his thoughts scattered due to his injuries, and he thought about the day's events, how he had narrowly escaped death in the Thousand-Eyed Swamp several times.

"Thankfully, it was a close call... Huh? Who is that?" Su Peng was about to relax when he suddenly saw a figure stagger out from the inner cave.

"Is it Brother Zhang?" Su Peng struggled to lift his head and said to the figure, which looked like Zhang Jin, who had been unconscious in the cave.

As the figure approached, Su Peng, using the light from a burning fire stick on the ground, saw that it was indeed Zhang Jin.

But... Su Peng's heart sank...

"Ugh... Roar... Roar!"

Zhang Jin's mouth kept making these sounds. Su Peng's heart grew cold as he noticed that Zhang Jin's body was black, and his face was covered with a layer of fine, short white hair!

"It's a zombie transformation!" Su Peng's heart was completely cold...

"Could it be that after all the near-death experiences today, I will die at the hands of a newly transformed zombie?" Su Peng felt a sense of sorrow.

"I won't accept it!" Su Peng suddenly roared, struggling to swing the silver hook in his hand!

But... the silver hook flew a few meters and fell to the ground.

The zombie that Zhang Jin's body had become was attracted by the sound and staggered toward Su Peng.

Was he going to die?

"Boom!"

Just as Su Peng was about to give up, a fireball suddenly flew into the cave from the entrance!

Who?
