When Jiang Qiao's consciousness was transmitted to the Perpetual Sanctuary that had turned into a hive, Jiang Qiao confirmed two things.
First, this was the real world, not the space of consciousness. Jiang Qiao was in the Perpetual Sanctuary of the real world.
Second, Jiang Qiao's in-game character was not so much a Holy Spirit character, but rather a part of his consciousness.
This was what Jiang Qiao learned when he discovered that he could not mobilize the God-Eater God's Godhood.
Simply put, even if Jiang Qiao died in the mouths of these Void Bugs, or even committed suicide, it would not be a problem. The price would be nothing more than entering a mentally weakened state for a period of time.
Jiang Qiao was currently undergoing a trial of strength initiated by the Void Insectoids.
The Void Bugs could not delay Jiang Qiao for too long. As long as Jiang Qiao held on for a certain amount of time, he would be able to go offline unscathed.
Twenty-seven minutes.
This was the approximate duration of the strength trial that Jiang Qiao felt.
As long as he lasted in this endless hive for about an hour and a half, Jiang Qiao would be able to leave safely.
"I haven't fought in the arena for too long. Do you really think I'm a noob?"
Jiang Qiao directly activated an Elemental Summoner's elemental gathering state. However, as soon as it was activated, a Void Reaper broke out of the ground and directly pressed down on Jiang Qiao's chest … pressing Jiang Qiao to the ground.
This Void Reaper opened its bloody mouth and directly bit at Jiang Qiao's head.
It bit, but what it bit was the head of a scarecrow substitute.
"Alright, although I haven't fought in the arena much, fighting you guys is no problem."
Jiang Qiao's figure flashed and sat on the back of this Void Reaper. It was about to turn over and continue to bite Jiang Qiao …
"Fire Spirit!"
At Jiang Qiao's command, a giant hand made of flames suddenly slammed down and smashed the Void Reaper into pieces.
In an instant, a giant figure made of flames appeared behind Jiang Qiao, and Jiang Qiao stood on her palm and was lifted into the air.
"Can I hold on for half an hour?" Jiang Qiao crouched on his Fire Spirit's palm and looked down at the Void Bugs gathered below.
There were at least tens of thousands of them. These Void Bugs were all monsters between level 65 and level 90, and there were Elite and Normal monsters mixed among them.
Jiang Qiao's Elemental Summoner profession could condense all the elements in the world into spirits to control them, but Jiang Qiao did not intend to summon elemental spirits of other attributes.
This was because this group of Void Bugs had another weakness, and that was weak fire. Although fire could cause damage to them, it was not fatal. However, if it was the fire created by the God-Eater God, then … it would be very fatal.
Thus, Jiang Qiao poured all his mana into the creation of the Fire Spirit.
The giant Fire Spirit behind Jiang Qiao was the awakened Elven King!
"Isn't it just explosive weapons? I know a little too." Jiang Qiao snapped his fingers.
Several meteorites made of flames suddenly fell from the sky, and these meteorites smashed into the group of Void Bugs that surrounded Jiang Qiao.
The meteorites did not deal much damage, and the Void Bugs that were hit did not suffer much damage. However, when they pounced at Jiang Qiao like a tide, a large group of ghost-like creatures made of flames suddenly crawled out of the crater.
Pyro Ghost Cavalrymen.
These were the elemental summons that Jiang Qiao thought were the most suitable for the current battlefield. They were originally dark summons, and their characteristics were that they did not have a physical body and were very mobile. Moreover, after killing the enemy, they had a certain probability of recovering Jiang Qiao's mana and could extend and split on their own.
After this group of summons that looked like hell knights appeared on the battlefield on their warhorses, they quickly began to kill the surrounding Void Bugs. In less than three minutes, the corpses of the Void Bugs that they killed piled up on the ground.
However, Jiang Qiao's mana did not increase at all. Instead, it decreased exponentially because he was maintaining such a large number of summons.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao had to sacrifice some of the extra Pyro Ghost Cavalrymen in time and convert them into his own mana.
This was also the most important operation point for Elemental Summoners of the Army Style.
However, the situation on the battlefield was too complicated, and Jiang Qiao was seriously ill. This series of subtle operations was difficult for Jiang Qiao to deal with.
However, Jiang Qiao still managed to do it!
With the Elven King's Fire Spirit as the core, the Pyro Ghost Cavalrymen formed a line of defense. While resisting the attack of the Void Bugs, they also sacrificed the Pyro Ghost Cavalrymen before the Void Bugs killed them and turned them into his own mana.
Jiang Qiao's command was accurate to every cavalry unit. Now, Jiang Qiao could only pray that his high-intensity operations could last for half an hour!
In reality, Gentleman Qi stood next to Jiang Qiao's game cabin with some unease.
"I still don't believe that the game cabin can cure such a serious illness. Isn't the president's condition even worse after lying in there?"
Gentleman Qi was present and firmly believed that he had to call 120. This was because after Jiang Qiao lay in the cabin, his expression did not relax. Instead, his brows furrowed even more and he looked like he was in pain.
This made Gentleman Qi suspect that Jiang Qiao could die at any time.
"The president seems to be fighting the Trial of Strength Instance Dungeon."
At this time, Milk Without Increase cleverly took out his phone and directly logged into the Holy Ghost Cloud Player app. He immediately activated the cloud player function and began to observe Jiang Qiao's Instance Dungeon battle from the perspective of the ball of light.
"Trial of Strength?"
When Gentleman Qi heard Milk Without Increase, he was instantly shocked. With Jiang Qiao's body in such a weak state, he would definitely not be able to withstand the high-intensity battle of the Trial of Strength.
He saw that Night Fragrance also took out her phone and logged into the Holy Ghost Cloud Player app. However, when she clicked on the function of observing Jiang Qiao's Instance Dungeon Trial, a notification popped up …
"Unable to connect to the opponent's network!"
"Unable to connect?
What's going on?
Holy Ghost doesn't need an accelerator in this game! "
Although Gentleman Qi rarely used the cloud player app on his phone, he still knew the function of the cloud player. If the opponent refused to watch the battle, it should be another notification.
"…"
Night Fragrance clicked on her phone anxiously, but the notification that popped up was still unable to connect to the opponent's network.
"It seems like I can't join the president's battle even if I call for people in the group. What's going on?"
Milk Without Increase changed to another method. That was to contact other online players in the Holy Ghost Self-Abuse Group to see if they could join Jiang Qiao's Instance Dungeon midway.
However, the screenshot from the self-abuse group was still the same, "Unable to connect to the opponent's network!"
"Bug?" Gentleman Qi had played Holy Ghost for a long time, but he had never encountered such a situation.
At this time, Night Fragrance seemed to have thought of something. She took out a data cable from her T-shirt pocket, plugged one end into Jiang Qiao's game pod, and connected the other end to her phone.
"Done!"
After Night Fragrance activated the network sharing function of Jiang Qiao's game pod, she found that she could finally join Jiang Qiao's Instance Dungeon battle as a cloud player spectator.
"Why can I go in again?
Isn't the president's Instance Dungeon connected through a local area network? "
Gentleman Qi was also an internet addict. Not only did she know how to play Holy Ghost and Strife, but she had also tried other standalone games.
Therefore, she was not unfamiliar with the concept of local area network connection. The Power Trial Dungeon that Jiang Qiao opened was clearly limited to … the local area network under this router.
But now, Gentleman Qi and Milk Without Increase could not care so much. They surrounded Night Fragrance and looked at her phone.
What appeared on Night Fragrance's phone screen was a sky dyed dark purple, as well as the Void Bug Tribe army that was roaring like Giant God Soldiers and the Flame Ghost Cavalry that was fighting each other.
"This … isn't the Power Trial Dungeon, definitely not!" Gentleman Qi could tell that this could not be the Power Trial Dungeon at first glance.
"Isn't this the Perpetual Sanctum that has already become a Zerg nest?
Why did the president run off to somewhere? "
Milk Without Increase was far more familiar with the Perpetual Sanctum than the two present.
"Jiang Qiao, he … can't hold on for long."
Night Fragrance adjusted her view of the light ball and saw Jiang Qiao crouching on the Fire Spirit's palm.
Jiang Qiao, who was currently controlling thousands of units in the form of micro-manipulation, was not in the mood to pay attention to this small light ball that suddenly appeared.
This caused the two states of discomfort and weakness to be written on Jiang Qiao's face. In addition, Jiang Qiao's mana value had been maintained below 15%. Any normal person could see that Jiang Qiao couldn't hold on for long.
"We can help the president."
Gentleman Qi hurriedly said, "If this dungeon is connected through a local area network, then the two game pods can still be used!"
Gentleman Qi's words made Night Fragrance and Milk Without Increase look up at the two spare game pods on the other side of Jiang Qiao's study.
But the key question was … who was going to help?
"I know you guys are very worried about the president's physical condition, but Xiao Wan, your profession is Hawkeye. In this dungeon state, you can't play at all. Milk Without Increase and I will help the president. This is the best choice."
As a bystander, Gentleman Qi directly selected two people to help in the most efficient way. Night Fragrance's Hawkeye was indeed the most useless in this kind of battle.
Night Fragrance looked at Gentleman Qi who directly took off his apron and entered a battle state. Although she was very, very reluctant and very unhappy, Night Fragrance couldn't find any reason to refute.
She was not the kind of girl who liked to fool around at critical times. Night Fragrance knew that she wouldn't be of any help if she went over. Instead, she might be a burden.
"Okay, I'll help you guys keep a lookout."
With this kind of bitterness in her heart, Wan Xiang spoke these words.
"Don't worry, we will save the president!"
Milk Without Increase seemed to be announcing some kind of victory, but also seemed to be comforting Night Fragrance. She saw an unfamiliar figure on Night Fragrance's phone screen. "Wait!
Switch the camera angle, who is that woman? "
Night Fragrance was reminded by Milk Without Increase and turned her attention to the screen of her phone. Sure enough, on the palm of Fire Spirit, there was an additional figure who appeared out of nowhere.
What made Night Fragrance shiver all over was that … this figure was the final boss of the void worm nest this time!
Sublimation Body · Isadeline!
"Run!"
Night Fragrance directly turned on the voice message to remind Jiang Qiao, but it was still too late.
The moment the Sublimation Body appeared on Fire Spirit's palm, she directly grabbed Jiang Qiao's neck and lifted Jiang Qiao up.
"Last descendant of the God Eater … give me your power."
The voice of the Sublimator entity did not sound rational at all. It was more like a starving person grabbing a delicious chicken leg, full of desire.
But she couldn't eat Jiang Qiao so quickly.
However, this sentence was enough to give the four girls a fright. Without increasing the price, they rushed to the backup gaming cabin behind them.
But just as she took a step, the cabinet next to Night Fragrance suddenly shook, and then the door of the cabinet was directly knocked open by Hai Lan.
Under Milk Without Increase, Night Fragrance's astonished gaze … and Gentleman Qi's expected gaze, Hai Lan rolled out of the cabinet like a panda.
When rolling on the ground, Hai Lan still looked at Night Fragrance and Milk Without Increase on both sides with some confusion.
"You … you are … Jiang Qiao's …" Night Fragrance at this moment was really dizzy.
Hai Lan didn't have time to explain at all. She quickly ran to the side of Jiang Qiao's game pod, Milk Without Increase also reacted, and immediately ran to the side of Jiang Qiao's game pod.
Just like that, the two of them held onto the handle to open the door of the game pod.
But both sides knew that now was not the time to be jealous, so they tacitly loosened their grip on the game pod, seemingly planning to let the other party enter the game first.
As long as Hai Lan touched Jiang Qiao, she could enter the battle. But because she was too nervous in the cabinet, she accidentally rolled out and rolled in front of Night Fragrance and Milk Without Increase, so Hai Lan couldn't use the wireless login method.
"Milk Without Increase, log in first!
Hai Lan … right?
I remember there is a VR device in the living room, you can use that! "Gentleman Qi was the calmest, and she quickly allocated the right to use the game device.
Hai Lan nodded and ran all the way to the living room. Milk Without Increase on the spare game pod, the first thing she did was to log into Holy Spirit and directly participate in the Trial of Strength that Jiang Qiao was in the midst of.
"Bad woman!
Let go of my president! "As soon as Milk Without Increase entered the dungeon, she immediately unleashed her awakening ability.
For a moment, the entire battlefield was illuminated by Holy Light.
At this moment, Milk Without Increase also discovered that the Sublime Body that was strangling Jiang Qiao's neck was not the main body, but … a clone!
A clone that was only at Level 90.
But even if it was a clone, she still took the damage of Milk Without Increase on the early stage of awakening.
"Let me do it!"
Gentleman Qi also appeared on the palm of Jiang Qiao's fire spirit, and the Sword-Drawing Technique slashed out with Spacetime Slash. This attack successfully cut off the arm of the Sublime Body clone, causing the powerless Jiang Qiao to fall to the ground.
Hai Lan was like a goalkeeper who was saving the ball, and she rushed over and hugged the fallen Jiang Qiao.
"Jiang Qiao?
Jiang Qiao? "
Hai Lan kept shouting for Jiang Qiao, who was in a daze. Milk Without Increase on the side ran over and cast several enhancement spells on Jiang Qiao.
With these enhancement skills, Jiang Qiao's consciousness became a little clearer, but the first thing that came into view was Hai Lan's face …
When Jiang Qiao saw Hai Lan's face, he was frightened as if he had seen a ghost.
"I didn't ask you to hide … Okay."
Jiang Qiao looked up at Milk Without Increase, who was standing beside him, and Gentleman Qi, who was not far away, and the light ball with the ID of Eventide, who was floating beside him.
This made Jiang Qiao let out a long sigh, and he looked at the Sublime Body that was roaring in the distance.
"15 minutes, please help me hold on for 15 minutes."
Jiang Qiao decided to pass this trial initiated by the Void Worms first, and then deal with other things.
Fifteen minutes wasn't too difficult, and he didn't need to defeat the Sublime Body anyway. Hai Lan's creation magic played an extremely strong role at this time.
So with the cooperation of Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan, and the support of the number one Holy Ghost healer Milk Without Increase, no matter how turbulent the Void Worm tide was, they finally held on for a short fifteen minutes.
Jiang Qiao was also forcibly kicked out of the game.
When Jiang Qiao woke up from the game cabin, the symptoms of weakness and fever had already disappeared, but what made Jiang Qiao feel more troublesome than the illness was … Eventide, who was sitting in front of him, had a complicated expression.
"Let's … go eat dinner first?"
So with Jiang Qiao's somewhat stiff reminder, everyone went to the living room in silence, including Hai Lan.
Jiang Qiao habitually sat down on the sofa and began to think about how to explain the situation, but Hai Lan skillfully curled up on the sofa she usually sat on, and just happened to lean on Jiang Qiao for warmth.
Plus, Hai Lan was now wearing cotton shorts, it didn't look like … she had come to visit Jiang Qiao's house.
Hai Lan didn't seem to have any intention of explaining the situation. She held her phone and curled up in the corner of the sofa, like a cat that had long declared its sovereignty, and played with her phone absentmindedly.
Eventide, on the other hand, lowered her head and looked silently at the coffee table, playing with the hem of her skirt with her fingers. No one knew what she was thinking.
Milk Without Increase frowned slightly, as if thinking about the cause and effect of all this.
This strange situation was finally broken by Gentleman Qi who walked out of the kitchen.
"Time is limited, so I can only make these dishes." Gentleman Qi placed a few plates of appetizing dishes on the long table in front of the sofa and said.
"Uh … I'll go get the food for everyone first." Jiang Qiao said.
"If you don't update, then don't call me … If you get better, I have no reason to stay."
Gentleman Qi also realized the current dangerous situation, so she directly walked to the door and began to change her shoes.
"Isn't Zhao Mingwei coming later?" Jiang Qiao said, and sure enough, there was a knock on the door. "Look!"
Gentleman Qi followed the knock and opened the door of Jiang Qiao's house. As expected, Zhao Mingwei was standing at the door with Lin Xi.
Unfortunately, before Lin Xi could say hello, Gentleman Qi had already changed her shoes. She directly grabbed Zhao Mingwei's collar and dragged him out of the door of Jiang Qiao's house.
"Next time." After leaving this sentence, Gentleman Qi conveniently closed the door.
