Chapter 162 Immature

This was the first time Madam Chen had made a move against an enemy.

All previous attacks had ended with just a glance.

Her fair, jade-like hand gently pressed against Fang Yue's chest.

Fang Yue's body stiffened. An extremely cold chill instantly passed through her palm and surged into his body.

At that moment, Fang Yue had a strange feeling, as if all the secrets on his body had been completely exposed.

Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly.

Just when Fang Yue thought he was dead, Madam Chen withdrew her hand.

Madam Chen tilted her head slightly, looking at Fang Yue with a puzzled expression, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Not yet mature?"

Madam Chen's voice had a sense of detachment, but the content of her words left Fang Yue completely confused.

Not yet mature?

What did she mean?

Fang Yue couldn't understand, but he suddenly remembered that Madam Chen had killed that player with over 1000 health in an instant.

When killing others, she also instantly killed them, never leaving anyone alive.

But he was the only survivor, and even his health seemed to be firmly controlled, exactly at 199 points!

Not a point more, not a point less!

It was as if her control of power had reached a microscopic level, not exerting an extra bit of force, nor underestimating it by a fraction. It was as if she had complete control, dealing exactly the amount of damage she wanted.

Madam Chen probably hadn't expected that his health would be fully restored in such a short time.

But it was useless. Madam Chen had a firm grip on his life and could kill him at any time!

As Fang Yue thought about this, the surrounding scenery suddenly blurred for an instant.

When it became clear again, the night wind was howling. He had already been lifted into the air by Madam Chen with one hand.

Looking down, the core of the earth was surrounded by scattered sparks of light, gathering into a mass, with overlapping figures.

And apart from the earth's core, the entire Gu Yue Village was almost completely dark and eerily silent, as if all the living people in Gu Yue Village had gathered together.

The people in the earth's core all looked up blankly, watching Madam Chen, who had jumped high and leaped into the air.

No one knew what Madam Chen wanted to do, or why she had taken Fang Yue away alone.

Then, for the second time, they saw Madam Chen raise her hand.

Her left hand transformed into a hand blade. In mid-air, Madam Chen slashed at the earth's core.

A cracking sound echoed!

A rough crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the earth's core's stone shell, which was as hard as an eggshell. After a slight pause,

Boom!!!

The earth's core split in two on the spot, revealing the huge, burning Flame of the Human Soul inside.

As if freed from its restraints, the Flame of the Human Soul violently surged, and in a short while, it grew into a hundred-meter-long vertical pillar of fire that soared into the clouds.

The human soul was burning! Wasting away! Disappearing!

The foundation of Gu Yue Village's existence had been destroyed.

It was gone. Everything was gone. Gu Yue Village... was finished.

Everyone thought so.

Lin Ling stared blankly at the destroyed earth's core and knelt on the ground with a thud, his heart empty.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't, and his whole body was in a daze. Suddenly, a pain struck his heart, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

The others were wailing, cursing, and crying…

Various sounds intertwined, and despair spread out.

Only the players didn't have so much emotion, but their faces were ugly.

"Damn it! A monster attack on the village is bad enough, but they even destroyed the newbie village?"

"I'm spitting blood! This garbage game, can't it give people a way out!"

"Damn it, I've been working so hard to improve my stats these past two days, but a strange being destroys the village, and I have to be buried with it? Screw it! I'm not playing anymore!"

"You're just improving your stats, I'm improving my relationship with the NPCs! As a result, the NPC died! Can you believe it? That strange being just glanced at them, and the NPC whose favorability I had built up to 15 points died! I'm the one who really wants to puke!"

The players' curses and complaints were drowned out by the desperate cries of the other villagers, causing not the slightest ripple.

In normal times, if they heard such words, their favorability would directly drop to negative numbers without explanation.

But now, no one was in the mood to pay attention to these players.

"I told you! I told you! Brother Ye wouldn't listen to me!!"

Niu Niu grabbed Xiao Hu's hand forcefully, and said loudly with fear and trepidation, "I said it a long time ago, a strange being is attacking the village, and the whole village is going to be finished! Brother Ye wouldn't listen to me. If he had run away with me then, we wouldn't have gotten into trouble!"

While the area below fell into chaos, Fang Yue was carried by Madam Chen and landed on the roof of the tallest mansion near the earth's core.

Looking down, the villagers were crying and wailing.

Looking beside him, the strange being was tightly holding his hand.

It was gone, really gone.

Fang Yue wanted to cry but had no tears.

Although he didn't know why Madam Chen had spared his life, it was probably just a matter of dying sooner or later. There was no way out at all.

Everyone was in despair, and the world seemed to fall into darkness.

The hundred-meter-high Flame of the Human Soul that had shot up high suddenly flickered.

The height of the flame dropped from a hundred meters to eighty meters, as if the Flame of the Human Soul was running out of fuel and was on the verge of extinguishing.

Now, the villagers were even more panicked and desperate.

Someone gritted their teeth and suddenly lunged forward, throwing themselves into the Flame of the Human Soul without regard for their own safety.

Whoosh!

The Flame of the Human Soul suddenly surged a few centimeters higher, but quickly continued to decline.

"Burn! I am willing to be firewood! Help fuel the Flame of the Human Soul! Please, Captain Lin, cheer up! Take charge of the overall situation and repair the earth's core as soon as possible!"

A respected vice-captain in the guard team suddenly shouted loudly, then turned around and jumped into the great Flame of the Human Soul.

Whoosh!

This time, the Flame of the Human Soul surged a few points higher, seemingly because the burning assistance provided also differed depending on one's cultivation strength, or lifespan.

With someone taking the lead, some passionate people in the crowd also stood up.

Most of these people were from the guard team, and only a small number were ordinary villagers.

They were willing to sacrifice themselves for the village, and the village also had an obligation to take care of the relatives of these heroes.

This was the rule of Gu Yue Village, and it was also one of the foundations upon which Gu Yue Village could survive in the world.

Lin Ling was infected by the atmosphere and also had the impulse to immediately throw himself into the great Flame of the Human Soul and transform into kindling.

But he couldn't!

Chen Mu was dead, Hua Wu Ye was seriously injured and unconscious, and Fang Yue had been taken away by the strange being.

In the entire Gu Yue Village, he was the only one left who could take charge of the overall situation and stabilize the situation!

Although it was very unkind, Lin Ling was extremely grateful in his heart that Madam Chen had only taken Fang Yue away and destroyed the earth's core, without taking any further action.

Otherwise, Gu Yue Village wouldn't even have the last bit of room to struggle.

While Lin Ling forcibly cheered up and led the villagers to carry out the final self-rescue,

And while Fang Yue was being quickly taken to the entrance of the village by Madam Chen in a few jumps,

In the center of Gu Yue Village, from the destroyed earth's core, a pillar of white light suddenly soared into the sky!

The white pillar shot into the sky, like daylight, illuminating the entire Gu Yue Village!

This white pillar of light came suddenly and strangely.

Tonight, one strange thing after another happened in Gu Yue Village, and Lin Ling was a little overwhelmed.

He and the people around him were all stunned, staring blankly up at the white pillar of light.

Within the white pillar of light, within the burning Flame of the Human Soul, they vaguely seemed to see a figure with a look of astonishment on their face.

Lin Ling carefully identified the image of the figure, and suddenly shuddered, as if he recognized something. He excitedly knelt down, and tears streamed down his face.

"Welcome Lord Han back to the village!!"
