The wriggling spirit painting of the Shancheng Ruins!

After dealing with the 'Abyss Blood Sea Curse', Qin Feng put the abyss vase back in its place.

After bidding farewell to Fairy Kite, Qin Feng arrived at the lowest level of the Evil Spirit Academy, the area surrounded by lava…

When Qin Feng killed the first World Spine · Sea, the golden portal left here by Asha Hess began to glow even more intensely and dazzlingly.

"By killing three World Spines, one can travel to the Youlan Civilization."

"Many days have passed, and the Youlan Civilization on the other side of the portal doesn't seem to have changed much."

"It's time to find the second World Spine."

Knowledge Eye Aristotle said that the second World Spine is located in the game area corresponding to the world's highest mountain peak.

That is obviously Mount Everest.

Located within the territory of Great Xia!

Just as Qin Feng was planning to set off, Wan Ye Wei Yu suddenly sent a private message: "Great God, a message just came from Shancheng saying that a Mythic BOSS seems to have appeared. Are you interested?"

This surprised Qin Feng a bit.

Originally, the game progress of the Blue Star Civilization wouldn't have spawned a Mythic BOSS yet.

But Qin Feng's kill of the first World Spine accelerated the civilization's game progress!

This news was a bit unexpected for Qin Feng. After all, why were they asking if he was interested instead of asking him to help resolve the situation?

So Qin Feng asked: "A Mythic BOSS? I'm definitely interested. How's the situation over there?"

Soon, Wan Ye Wei Yu explained the situation…

It turned out that the true form of the Mythic BOSS was a painting!

The BOSS was named 'wriggling spirit painting', a standard Mythic BOSS!

Upon hearing the name, Qin Feng actually remembered it, because it was indeed the earliest Mythic BOSS to appear in his life before last!

However, this BOSS didn't inspire much desire to kill in ordinary players.

Only certain 'wretched couples' showing off their affection would be targeted by this BOSS…

After all, this BOSS spawned in the wilderness of the Shancheng Ruins. For the time being, no couples had gone to the wilderness to 'show off their love', so it hadn't caused any casualties yet.

Currently, in the eyes of the players in the Shancheng Ruins, this BOSS was in an invincible state with a grey health bar, floating directly above an abandoned mine.

Since it was a 'harmless' Mythic BOSS, the abandoned mine over a hundred kilometers away from the Shancheng Ruins had become a popular check-in spot for many players.

Many players ran over to take photos with the seemingly harmless 'wriggling spirit painting'!

It wasn't that the players were too brave or didn't value their lives…

It was mainly because since the painting was discovered, there hadn't been a single victim. Most importantly, that abandoned mine was already a popular leveling area outside the Shancheng Ruins, with many players coming and going.

"Come to think of it, this BOSS's mechanics are quite interesting…"

Qin Feng quickly recalled and became quite interested.

In his life before last, he had heard of this Mythic BOSS but hadn't participated in the raid.

This Mythic BOSS's strategy is divided into two areas: an inner field and an outer field.

Qin Feng alone wouldn't be able to kill this BOSS.

"If I enter the inner field, someone must cooperate in the outer field…"

Naturally, Qin Feng's first choice was the Ghost Spirit girl.

"The condition to activate this BOSS is for a male and female couple to show off their affection within its perception range…"

"Once the BOSS is activated, some of the surrounding players will be sucked into the painting by the BOSS, entering a world within the painting!"

"The true body of the BOSS is the 'Resentful Painting Spirit' inside the painting…"

All in all, the BOSS mechanics were quite complex, even involving some irresistible divinity-rule-level mechanics.

With the current players' level, once this BOSS was activated, all surrounding players would surely die!

Even the only one who could enter the inner field and kill the BOSS's true body, the 'Resentful Painting Spirit', was Qin Feng alone.

Even Ghost Spirit…

Currently didn't meet the requirements.

"So, I must be the one to enter the inner field and deal with the BOSS's true body."

"But someone must also cooperate in the outer field, otherwise I won't be able to deal damage to the BOSS and might even be charmed by it…"

Although it was a bit troublesome.

But after all, it was a Mythic BOSS, which could be seen as a wealth-bringing boy providing Qin Feng with evolution points, Ancient-Grade equipment, and skill books!

Moreover, this was a relatively rare Eastern-style BOSS in the God Forsaken Game…

"I'm preparing to take someone over now."

Qin Feng said to Wan Ye Wei Yu quite solemnly: "By the way, from now on, have all players leave the BOSS's range and stop watching. Just because nothing has happened yet doesn't mean nothing ever will. Most importantly, absolutely do not have any couples showing off their affection near the BOSS!"

This made Wan Ye Wei Yu pause: "Huh? Could it be that showing affection will activate the BOSS? What level of affection counts?"

This question gave Qin Feng a bit of a headache: "I'm not very clear on the specific standard, but holding hands and hugging definitely don't count… anything further than that, and there will be danger at any time."

Wan Ye Wei Yu immediately took it seriously: "Okay, understood! I'll convey it to them immediately."

But after a while, Wan Ye Wei Yu added: "Then Great God… when you go over, to activate the BOSS, do you need us to prepare a couple for you?"

Qin Feng replied: "No need, I'll handle it myself."

Finding someone to help activate the BOSS?

That was pure suicide.

When the BOSS is activated, the man and woman showing affection are the BOSS's primary targets. How could an ordinary person withstand that?

So, Qin Feng sent a message to Ghost Spirit, who was currently grinding mobs: "Come home, come with me to Shancheng."

Almost instantly, Qin Feng received a reply from Ghost Spirit: "Oh 0.0"

…

Shancheng Ruins.

This was a large city ruin adjacent to the Chuanshu Ruins, and there were still over twenty million players remaining!

Over a hundred kilometers away from the City Ruins, there was an abandoned mine where various rotting animal monsters spawned. It was a prime leveling spot for level 20 or so…

And now, because of the appearance of a Mythic BOSS, 'wriggling spirit painting', even more players had come here.

Many players came to take photos with the BOSS, even forming queues…

"You bunch of blockheads, get lost!"

"Everyone pay attention! I received news that as long as someone shows affection near this BOSS, it will be activated!"

"Oh my god, I've been single since birth. How the hell am I supposed to show affection?"

"Exactly, even if I wanted to show off, I've got nothing to show."

"In this godforsaken place, who would come here to show off their love?"

"Anyway, news came from above saying that Shadow is coming to raid this BOSS…"

"Wow! Shadow is coming? Then I can't leave. Shadow is even rarer than a BOSS…"

"Not leaving? You staying here to die? A Mythic BOSS—is this the kind of excitement we have the lives to watch?"

As official news spread, groups of players began to evacuate quickly.

Although everyone was very curious about the legendary Shadow, their own lives were ultimately more important. Not many people would ignore the evacuation order issued by the officials and relayed to the major guilds!

Of course…

There were still those who didn't take the official announcement seriously.

Some players had been grinding mobs nearby all along, and some had specifically come to 'view' the Mythic BOSS and had no intention of leaving.

No matter where you go, there's always some biodiversity…

And in the crowd…

There was a tall, thin young man with a gloomy face, wearing a dark grey hood. He looked up at the eerie, bone-white 'wriggling spirit painting' above the mine, and a thought occurred to him…

"Is that so?"

"As long as you show affection, you can activate the BOSS…"

"Then all of you, go die for me!!"

This young man's face was extremely dark. Clearly, he wanted to take revenge on society!
