Qin Feng Appears! A Threat from the BOSS?

The internal space of the scroll!

In this vast courtyard with beautiful scenery, over two hundred people gathered together, enjoying the growth of their experience points amidst the swirling immortal mist…

"Not bad, not bad, truly not bad…"

"These people are as stupid as blocks of wood."

The alluring true form of the Resentful Painting Spirit BOSS within the mist watched this scene and let out a crisp, sweet laugh—neither male nor female, yet seeming like both…

In this process, the BOSS indeed paid out experience points.

However, every time her painting spirit clones killed the 'loved ones' of the players in the inner field from the outer field, she would gain a life, plus all the experience points that player had ever obtained!

The experience points of the players it killed would be stored and then used to distribute to the players in the inner field…

This was the mechanism arranged for it by the God Forsaken Game.

However.

Within the inner field, there were still players who felt something was off and chose not to listen to the music or watch the dance.

Out of a total of 249 people, there were still over thirty who chose the second option—to tell the BOSS to get lost. Their motives aside, this group of players was too small to influence the overall decision…

This led to the BOSS directly starting the second dance!

As that alluring figure continued to writhe within the ethereal immortal mist, the players went back to enjoying the increase in their experience…

"Gaining experience while watching a beauty dance, is there anything better in this world?"

"Even though it feels a bit off… but we can't resist anyway, so let's just enjoy it for now!"

"I thought I was dead for sure when I got sucked in, but I didn't expect this kind of benefit. It's a blessing in disguise, hehehe!"

"I can level up several times this way. When I get out, I'll definitely give Miaomiao a shock, hehe!"

Just then.

The players in the field suddenly heard a system notification: the number of players in the scroll space has increased by 1!

At first, they didn't pay it any mind.

After all, this BOSS could keep pulling people in…

But soon, a cold, sneering voice rang out among them!

"I'm afraid your enjoyment ends here."

Along with that voice, a pitch-black figure wearing a forest-white mask appeared before everyone. The codename and level above his head were strikingly—Shadow (Lv. 40)!

Qin Feng had entered.

It went very smoothly; as soon as he and Ghost Spirit entered within a ten-kilometer radius of the BOSS, he was sucked directly into the inner field!

Originally, Qin Feng was worried that Ghost Spirit would be sucked in too. If that happened, Ghost Spirit definitely wouldn't be able to handle the BOSS's true form in the inner field…

If it came to that, he would have no choice but to let Ghost Spirit die.

Dying in the scroll BOSS's inner field would cause all current level experience to drop, but there was no other way. If one remained trapped inside and finished watching the BOSS's five dances, they would be completely lost, which was equivalent to permanent Death!

Ghost Spirit herself had also prepared some poisons.

They were meant to be used for ending her own life at a critical moment. Now it seemed those poisons wouldn't be necessary…

When Qin Feng appeared in this inner scroll space, even he felt a bit sentimental.

Because this place was truly as beautiful as a painting!

With immortal mist swirling and alluring, seductive figures flickering within the clouds, along with constantly rising experience points, who could resist?

Looking at the players on the lawn and in the pavilions amidst the swirling mist—some sitting, some squatting, some leaning against railings, all with looks of enjoyment—Qin Feng's exposed eyes held no emotion.

And when these people saw Qin Feng, they were all shocked.

Shadow actually came?

"What is Shadow doing here? Is he here to kill the BOSS?"

"Don't! I've only just started enjoying this. I can level up after watching one more dance!"

"Exactly! This wave of experience is worth a whole day's work. Shadow wouldn't come to ruin it, would he?"

"Don't worry, I feel like even Shadow wouldn't turn down this experience, right?"

"True, free experience is free experience…"

They whispered among themselves, but… this little bit of experience was completely inconsequential to Qin Feng!

For the players in the field, this automatically increasing experience was indeed a lot, but to Qin Feng, it wasn't even worth a hair.

After all, Qin Feng's usual mob-grinding speed was hundreds of times faster than these players'; the only thing limiting his leveling speed was the respawn rate of the monsters.

So, how could Qin Feng possibly be interested in this experience?

Of course, the most important thing was…

For every dance watched here, the lethality of the BOSS's avatars against loved ones outside would double. Watch two, and it doubles again!

Watch five, and one would be completely lost in this Scroll Illusion!

Thus, this was entirely a mechanical trap set by the BOSS, using the greed deep within the players' hearts to lure them into a snare…

Upon arriving, Qin Feng completely ignored what the people around him were saying.

He glanced around, not even looking at the writhing figure of the BOSS in the mist, and shouted coldly, "When the next round of choices comes, everyone choose to make the BOSS get lost. Whoever chooses to keep watching the dance, I will kill!"

"If you are killed here, all the accumulated experience for your current level will be lost…"

"But if you follow orders and watch from the sidelines, once the BOSS dies, you will be able to leave the Scroll Illusion safely without any losses."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the field felt their hearts skip a beat.

Many players who already felt something was wrong immediately stood up to support Qin Feng.

Over thirty people stood behind Qin Feng!

However, there were still some in the field who were dazed by the experience and the BOSS's dancing, and they immediately expressed their defiance toward Qin Feng!

"Wait! Don't think that just because you're Shadow, you can decide and control our thoughts!"

A female player stood up with a sneer and began to accuse Qin Feng: "Maybe this experience doesn't matter to you? But for us, it can make our development hundreds of times faster!"

Hearing this, Qin Feng didn't even glance at the woman; he simply raised his hand and sent a Shadow Blade flying.

Killing the woman on the spot.

Then, Qin Feng said coldly, "If you watch five rounds of dances here, you will be lost here forever, becoming puppets under the BOSS. Furthermore… your development is indeed hundreds of times faster, but at the same time, the loved ones you left in the outer field are dying hundreds of times faster as well."

"The more you watch the BOSS dance, the faster they die!"

These words caused many people in the field to wake up as if from a dream!

They had originally felt that the BOSS giving experience for dancing was strange and likely problematic; now it seemed that was indeed the case!

Most people still believed Qin Feng's words.

Yet, there were still some whose brains weren't fully developed who felt Qin Feng was just bluffing and trying to interfere with their leveling!

Of course, pressured by Qin Feng's overbearing might, they didn't intend to stand up and refute him.

They even planned to 'compromise' during the selection later and temporarily follow Qin Feng's choice of the second option.

However, they were very resentful deep down.

"This Shadow is only thinking about killing the BOSS and getting the rewards for himself, completely ignoring our interests…"

Quite a few people thought to themselves, harboring considerable hatred for Qin Feng!

Among them was the boyfriend with the small braid of Miaomiao Wants Hotpot; the young man secretly cursed Qin Feng: "Only you can kill a Mythic BOSS? I curse you to get no Mythic equipment from the Mythic BOSS…"

In an instant, all two hundred-plus people in the field gathered behind Qin Feng.

Whether voluntarily or involuntarily, none of them dared to disobey Qin Feng's 'orders'.

This scene caused the Resentful Painting Spirit BOSS's true form within the surrounding immortal mist to feel threatened!

But it was still in the middle of the second dance, and even the BOSS itself couldn't interrupt it.

It could only lower its voice and, within the swirling mist, threaten Qin Feng in a voice only he could hear: "Shadow… I know you can hear me… stop everything you're doing, or I will kill your most beloved person first!!"

"Do you think… you will kill me first, or will I kill your beloved first? Hahahaha…"

When Qin Feng heard the BOSS's threat, his expression under the mask became a bit strange.

He knew the BOSS was naturally referring to Ghost Spirit, who had a high intimacy level with him.

But…

Since Qin Feng had left Ghost Spirit outside to handle the outer field's mechanics, he naturally had arrangements in place.

For him to kill the BOSS would only take an instant.

But for the BOSS's avatar to kill Ghost Spirit… that wouldn't happen in just a short while!

"However, once I instakill the BOSS's first life, it will use its next life, and its appearance will change to that of a player it killed…"

"Although I don't know how many died outside, someone in this group is definitely going to have a mental breakdown."

Qin Feng felt that some people behind him were still defiant and thought indifferently.

But when those players who still wanted to gain experience see that their loved ones are already dead, their lives stolen by the BOSS, and the BOSS has taken on the appearance of those loved ones…

How will they feel then?
