When Jiang Qiao's consciousness was teleported to the Eternal Sanctuary that had turned into an insect nest, Jiang Qiao confirmed two things.
First of all, this is the real world, not the consciousness space, and Jiang Qiao is in the real world's eternal sanctuary.
Secondly, rather than calling Jiang Qiao’s game character a holy spirit character, it is better to regard it as a clone of his own consciousness.
Jiang Qiao learned this when he discovered that he was unable to mobilize the godhood of the God Devourer.
Simply put, even if Jiang Qiao died at the hands of these Void Zerg, or even committed suicide, it would not be a problem. The only price he would pay would be entering a state of mental weakness for a period of time.
Jiang Qiao is undergoing a test of strength initiated by the Void Zerg.
The Void Zerg cannot delay Jiang Qiao for too long. As long as Jiang Qiao can hold on for a certain period of time, he will be able to go offline safely.
Twenty-seven points.
This is the duration of the strength test that Jiang Qiao roughly felt.
Jiang Qiao only needs to hold on in this endless insect nest for about an hour and a half and he will be able to leave safely.
"I haven't played in the arena for a long time. Do you really think I'm a loser?"
Jiang Qiao directly activated the elemental gathering state of an elemental summoner for himself, but just as the state was activated, a Void Harvester broke out of the ground and pressed directly on Jiang Qiao's chest... and pressed Jiang Qiao to the ground.
The Void Reaper opened its bloody mouth and bit directly at Jiang Qiao's head.
It bit the target, but what it bit was the head of a substitute scarecrow.
"Well, I haven't played in the arena much but I should have no problem beating you guys."
Jiang Qiao flashed and sat on the back of the Void Harvester. Just as 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 slapped down and smashed the Void Harvester into pieces.
In an instant, a giant figure made of flames appeared behind Jiang Qiao, and Jiang Qiao stood on the palm of her hand and was lifted slightly into the air by her.
"Can you hold on for half an hour?" Jiang Qiao crouched in the palm of his fire spirit and looked at the Void Zerg gathered below.
It is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of them. The levels of these Void Zerg are all between level 65 and 90, and there are elite monsters and ordinary monsters among them.
Jiang Qiao's profession as an elemental summoner could have condensed all the elements in the world into elves to control them, but now Jiang Qiao does not plan to summon elemental elves of other attributes.
Because this Void Zerg has another weakness, that is, it is weak to fire. Although the fire can cause damage to them, it is not fatal. But if it is the fire created by the God of Devouring Gods, then... it is very deadly.
So Jiang Qiao invested all his magic points into the creation of the Fire Spirit.
The giant fire spirit behind Jiang Qiao is the awakened Elf King!
"It's just a matter of massing troops. I know a little bit about that." Jiang Qiao snapped his fingers lightly.
Suddenly, several meteorites made of fire fell from the sky and hit the Void Zerg colony that surrounded Jiang Qiao.
The damage caused by the meteorite was not high, and the Void Zergs that were hit did not suffer much damage. But when they rushed towards Jiang Qiao like a tide, a large number of ghost-like creatures made of fire suddenly stretched out and crawled out of the meteorite crater.
Scorching Flame Ghost Cavalry.
These are the elemental summons that Jiang Qiao has thought of that are most suitable for the current battlefield. They are originally dark summons, with the characteristics of having no entity, strong mobility, and a certain probability of restoring Jiang Qiao's magic value after killing the enemy, and can extend and split on their own.
After this group of summoned creatures that looked like Hell Knights appeared on the battlefield riding on war horses, they began to quickly kill the surrounding Void Zergs. In less than three minutes, the corpses of the Void Zergs they killed piled up on the ground.
However, Jiang Qiao's magic value did not increase at all. Instead, it decreased exponentially due to the need to maintain such a large number of summons.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao must sacrifice some of the extra Scorching Flame Ghost Cavalry in time and convert them into his own magic points.
This is also the most important operation point for the Legion Elemental Summoner.
However, the situation on the battlefield was too complicated, and Jiang Qiao was seriously ill and had difficulty coping with this series of delicate operations.
But Jiang Qiao still did it! With the Fire Spirit in the Elf King state as the core, the Blazing Ghost Cavalry formed a line of defense. While resisting the attack of the Void Zerg, they sacrificed the Blazing Ghost Cavalry before the Void Zerg killed them and turned them into their own magic points.
Jiang Qiao's command was precise to every cavalry unit. Now Jiang Qiao could only pray that his high-intensity operation could last for half an hour!
But in reality, Qi Junzi stood beside Jiang Qiao's game cabin with some uneasiness.
"I still don't believe that the game cabin can cure such a serious illness. If I don't update it, the president's symptoms seem to have become more serious after he lay in it?"
The gentleman who was present firmly believed that they had to call 120, because Jiang Qiao's expression did not relax after he lay down. Instead, his brows were furrowed even tighter and he looked very uncomfortable.
This made Qi Junzi suspect that Jiang Qiao might die at any time.
“The president seems to be playing a copy of the Trial of Strength.” At this time, Jia Nai Bu Jia Qian very cleverly took out his mobile phone, directly logged into the "Holy Spirit Cloud Player" APP, directly activated the cloud player function, and began to watch Jiang Qiao's copy battle from the perspective of the light ball.
"Trial of strength?" When Mr. Qi heard that adding milk would not increase the price, he was instantly shocked. Jiang Qiao was in such a weak state that he would definitely not be able to withstand the high-intensity battle of the trial of strength.
She saw Wanxiang also took out her phone and logged into the Shengsheng Cloud player client, but when she clicked on the function to watch the Jiangqiao dungeon trial, the prompt that popped up was...
'Unable to connect to the other party's network! '
"Can't connect? What's going on? The game of Holy Spirit shouldn't require an accelerator!"
Although I seldom use the cloud player client on my mobile phone, I still know the function of the cloud player. If the other party refuses to watch the game, it should be another prompt.
"… "
Wanxiang tapped her phone anxiously, but the pop-up prompt still showed that she was unable to connect to the other party's network.
"I called people in the group but it seems like there's no way for them to join the president's battle. What's going on?" Jia Nai Wu Jia Pai tried another method, which was to contact other online players in the Holy Spirit Self-Abuse Group to see if they could join Jiang Qiao's copy midway.
But the screenshots from the self-abuse group still showed the sentence "Unable to connect to the other party's network!"
"BUG?" Qi Junzi has been playing Holy Spirit for so long and has never encountered such a situation.
Wanxiang seemed to remember something at this time. She took out a data cable from the pocket of her T-shirt, plugged one end into Jiangqiao's game cabin, and connected the other end to her mobile phone.
"Okay!" After turning on the network sharing function of Jiangqiao's game cabin, Wanxiang found that she could finally join Jiangqiao's copy battle as a cloud player spectator.
"Why can I enter again? Is the copy that does not update the president connected to the LAN?"
Qi Junzi is also an internet addict. She plays not only Holy Spirit and Dissidia, but also other stand-alone blockbuster games. Qi Junzi has tried them all.
Therefore, the concept of LAN connection is not unfamiliar. The copy of the Trial of Strength opened by Jiang Qiao is obviously limited to... the LAN under this router can connect to it.
But now Qi Junzi and Jia Nai Wu Jia Pricing were no longer able to care about so many things. They all surrounded Wanxiang and looked at her cell phone.
What came into view on Wanxiang's cell phone display was a sky dyed red by deep purple, and an army of Void Zergs fighting with roaring Fire Spirits and Scorching Ghost Cavalrymen who were like Giant God Soldiers.
"This... is not a copy of the Trial of Strength, absolutely not!" Mr. Qi realized at first glance that this could not be a copy of the Trial of Strength.
"Isn't this the Eternal Sanctuary that has become a hive of insects? Where did the president go?"
No extra charge for adding milk is much more familiar with the Eternal Sanctuary than the two present.
"Jiang Qiao...can't hold on for long."
Wanxiang adjusted her perspective of the sightseeing ball and saw Jiang Qiao crouching on the palm of the Fire Spirit.
Jiang Qiao, who was currently controlling thousands of units in the form of micro-management, had no mood to pay attention to the small ball of light that suddenly appeared.
This resulted in discomfort and weakness being written all over Jiang Qiao's face. In addition, Jiang Qiao's magic value had been maintained below 15%. Any normal person could see that Jiang Qiao could not hold on for much longer.
"We can go help the president who doesn't update." Qi Junzi said quickly, "If this copy is connected to the LAN, then the two game pods can still be used!"
Qi Junzi's words made Wanxiang and Jianai look up at the two spare game cabins on the other side of Jiangqiao's study.
But the key question is...who will help
"I know you're worried about President Bu Xin's health, but Xiao Wan, your job is Hawkeye, and you can't use it in this dungeon. It's the best choice for me and Jia Nai to go and help President Bu Xin."
As a bystander, Qi Junzi directly selected two candidates for assistance in the most efficient way. Wanxiang's Eagle Eyes were indeed the most useless in this battle situation.
Wanxiang looked at Qi Junzi who took off his apron and entered a fighting state. She opened her mouth. Although she was very reluctant and unhappy in her heart, Wanxiang could not find any reason to refute.
She was not the kind of girl who liked to act up at critical moments. Wanxiang knew that she would be of no help at all if she went there, and might even be a hindrance.
"Okay, I'll keep watch for you."
With such a bitter feeling, Wanxiang said this.
"Don't worry, we will rescue the president!" As if declaring victory or comforting Wanxiang, she saw a strange figure on Wanxiang's phone screen. "Wait! Turn the view over there, who is that woman?"
Wanxiang was reminded that adding milk without extra charge turned her attention to the screen of her mobile phone. Sure enough, a figure appeared in Huo Ling's palm without her knowing.
What made Wanxiang shiver all over was... this figure was the final BOSS of this Void Hive! The Sublimated Form of Ishdelin!
“Run!”
Wanxiang immediately opened the voice chat to remind Jiang Qiao, but it was too late.
The moment the sublimated body appeared in the palm of the Fire Spirit's hand, it grabbed Jiang Qiao's neck and lifted him up.
"Descendant of the God-Eating God...give me your power."
The voice of the sublimated body sounded irrational, more like a starving person grabbing a delicious chicken drumstick and full of desire.
But she couldn't eat Jiang Qiao so quickly.
But this sentence was enough to scare the four girls present. They added milk without paying extra and rushed directly to another spare game cabin behind them.
But just as she took a step, the cabinet next to Wanxiang suddenly shook, and then the door of the cabinet was directly knocked open by Hailan.
With no extra charge for adding milk and Wanxiang's surprised look... and under the expected gaze of Yiqijunzi, Hailan rolled out of the cabinet like a panda.
When Hai Lan rolled to the ground, she looked at the Wan Xiang and Jia Nai No Extra Charge on both sides in confusion.
“You…you are…from Jiangqiao…” Wanxiang was really dizzy at this moment.
Hai Lan didn't have time to explain, she quickly ran to Jiang Qiao's game cabin. She also realized that adding milk would not increase the price, so she ran to Jiang Qiao's game cabin as soon as possible.
The two of them held hands on the handle to open the door of the game cabin.
But both sides knew that now was not the time to be jealous, so they tacitly loosened the handles of the game cabin, as if they were intending to let the other side enter the game first.
Hailan could join the battle as long as she touched Jiangqiao, but she was too nervous in the closet and accidentally rolled out, and then rolled in front of Wanxiang and Jianaibujiaqian, so Hailan could not use the wireless login method.
"Jia Nai, you log in first! Hai Lan...right? I remember there is a VR device in the living room, you can use that!" Qi Junzi was the calmest, and she quickly allocated the use of the gaming equipment.
Hailan nodded and ran all the way to the living room. Then she lay down in the spare game cabin, logged into the Holy Spirit as soon as possible, and directly intervened in the strength trial copy that Jiang Qiao was attacking.
"Bad woman! Let my president go!" As soon as he entered the copy, he released his awakening violently.
For a moment, the entire holy light shone on the battlefield.
At this moment, Jia Nai Bu Jia also discovered that the sublimated body that was pinching Jiang Qiao's neck was not the real body, but... a clone! A clone with a level of only ninety.
But even if it was a clone, she still took the initial damage of awakening without adding milk.
"let me!"
The gentleman also appeared on the palm of Jiang Qiao's fire spirit's hand, and the time and space slash created by the sword-drawing technique was instantly slashed out. This strike successfully cut off the arm of the sublimated body clone, causing Jiang Qiao to fall to the ground with powerlessness all over.
Hai Lan rushed over like a goalkeeper saving the ball and hugged the fallen Jiang Qiao.
"Jiang Qiao? Jiang Qiao?" Hai Lan kept calling out to Jiang Qiao who was in a daze. The waiter next to him ran over and cast several buff spells on Jiang Qiao.
With these enhanced skills, Jiang Qiao regained some consciousness, but the first thing he saw was Hai Lan's face...
When Jiang Qiao saw Hai Lan's face, he was frightened as if he had seen a ghost.
"I'm not asking you to hide... Okay." Jiang Qiao looked up at the No-Cost Milk customer standing next to him, as well as the gentleman not far away and the light ball with a Wanxiang ID floating next to him.
This made Jiang Qiao let out a long sigh, and his eyes turned to the sublimated body in the distance that was making a terrifying roar.
"Fifteen minutes, please just hold on for fifteen minutes." Jiang Qiao decided to first pass this trial initiated by the Void Zerg before dealing with other things.
Fifteen minutes was not that difficult. There was no need to defeat the sublimated body anyway. Hai Lan's creation magic played a very powerful role at this time.
Therefore, with the cooperation of Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan, and with the support of the Holy Spirit's No. 1 nurse who provided milk without raising the price, no matter how fierce the void insect tide was, they finally held on for just 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 disappeared, but what Jiang Qiao felt was more troublesome than the disease was... the complicated expression on Wan Xiang's face who was sitting in front of him.
"Let's go have dinner first?"
So after Jiang Qiao's somewhat stiff reminder, everyone came to the living room silently, including Hai Lan.
Jiang Qiao sat down on the sofa as usual and began to think about how to explain this situation, but Hai Lan skillfully curled up on the long sofa where she usually sat and took a nap, just leaning against Jiang Qiao for warmth.
In addition, considering the cotton shorts Hailan was wearing, it didn't look like she was... visiting Jiang Qiao's house.
Hai Lan didn't seem to want to explain the situation. She curled up in the corner of the sofa with her cell phone in her hand, playing with her phone nonchalantly like a cat that had already declared its sovereignty.
Wanxiang lowered her head and looked at the coffee table silently, playing with the hem of her skirt with her fingers, no one knew what she was thinking.
Add milk without paying extra. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about the causes and consequences of all this.
This strange situation was finally broken by the gentleman who came out of the kitchen.
"Time is limited, so I can only make these dishes." Qi Junzi said as he placed several plates of delicious dishes on the long table in front of the sofa.
"Uh... I'll go get food for everyone first." Jiang Qiao said.
"If you don't update, then you don't have to call me... If you recover from your illness, I have no reason to keep you."
Qi Junzi also realized that the situation was dangerous, so she walked directly to the door and started changing her shoes.
"Isn't Zhao Mingwei coming soon?" Jiang Qiao said as a knock on the door sounded. "Look!"
Following the knock, Qi Junzi opened the door of Jiang Qiao's house and saw Zhao Mingwei standing at the door, along with Lin Xi.
Unfortunately, before Lin Xi could say hello, Qi Junzi had already changed his shoes, grabbed Zhao Mingwei, who looked puzzled, by the collar, and dragged him away from Jiang Qiao's home.
"Maybe next time." After saying this, Qi Junzi closed the door.
