Chapter 105

Chapter 105: The Second Protagonist Appears, Bai Fu is Terrifying Indeed [12]

Fragrant Fried Fish is now very upset.

A few days ago, a new commission with a very high reward appeared on the request board of Shelter No. 11, and he eagerly accepted the quest, enthusiastically following the main group to carry out the task.

They spent one and a half days hunting a group of special sand worms in the desert. Just as they successfully surrounded the sand worm leader, a group of people dressed in white robes suddenly appeared in the desert.

He kindly reminded those White Robes to stay far away so as not to be harmed by the sand worms. They refused and instead expressed their intention to help them hunt the sand worms together.

NPCs randomly intervened and offered to lend a hand—wasn’t this a stroke of good luck from heaven?

Fragrant Fried Fish was overjoyed, thinking that this task was sure to succeed.

But what he didn’t expect was that during the fight, those White Robes suddenly went berserk, shouting about demons, trials, and revenge as they knocked everyone down. Their fierce and overwhelming manner was even more terrifying than the protagonists of热血漫 (a genre of manga/anime).

Ya Mei Luo!

Fragrant Fried Fish was stunned.

When he came to his senses, most of the players who were acting alongside him had already perished, and he, along with a few other players, had been tied up in a humiliating pose even more disgraceful than being bound with Turtle Shell Bonds.

Next, naturally, came the amusingly familiar tale of interrogators and captives.

“Those who understand the situation are wise.”

“With such methods, you still can’t pry open our mouths?”

As a player, Fragrant Fried Fish wasn’t at all afraid of these NPCs’ threats. The only thing that made him uncomfortable was the fact that he had been captured.

[Unable to play the game properly, I’m about to die, hum ah ah ah ah]

[Help me, guys, help me!]

Fragrant Fried Fish kept pleading for help in the faction channel. To be honest, he didn’t really expect any player to come save him; he was just frustrated and wanted to vent. However, events unfolded completely contrary to his expectations.

After shouting for several minutes, an unexpected message appeared in the faction channel.

[Don’t worry, captured buddies, Fu Fu is already on her way to rescue you. Hang on a little longer.]

What the hell?

Fragrant Fried Fish was shocked, and so were the other players.

Bai Fu personally coming to rescue them, what kind of divine treatment was this?

“Haha, you’re all done for!”

Fragrant Fried Fish burst into laughter, shouting at the group of White Robes in front of him.

This caused the leading White Robe to frown.

He was now 100% certain that the people they had captured were the legendary demons, since they could resurrect, were mentally unstable, and while being tortured, they continuously chanted incomprehensible incantations like “Yao Nai What Can You Do,” “Niang Xi Pi,” and “I’ll Curse Your Mother’s Eyes Out.”

The sudden laughter of the demon was something that couldn’t be ignored!

“It seems your mood is quite good. Is there some special skill you haven’t used yet?”

“There’s no special skill, but my boss will be here soon!”

“Boss? Who’s your boss?”

A glint of cunning flashed in Fragrant Fried Fish’s eyes: “Since you sincerely asked, I’ll graciously tell you. My boss is the Lord of Silent Courtyard, Queen of the Dark Realm, Nemesis of the Truth Society, Version Protagonist, First Jailer of the Stars, and the Sole True God of Source Star, Bai Fu! How does that sound? Afraid? But it’s useless, everything is too late!”

As Fragrant Fried Fish predicted, after hearing his long introduction, all the White Robes were shaken. They all expressed the same question: Who is Bai Fu?

“Have you heard of this name?”

“No.”

“What about you?”

“No.”

The leading White Robe said, “Regardless of who your boss is, today you’re all dead!”

Since they had already failed to extract any useful intelligence, he began calling others to perform a blood sacrifice on the players.

Now Fragrant Fried Fish was panicking.

If they were killed, these White Robes would surely leave. Without their location data, how would Fu Fu find these White Robes? If Fu Fu couldn’t find these White Robes, how would he get back at them for capturing him?

He must think of a way to stall these White Robes!

He sneered, “I thought you were well-informed, but it turns out you’re all like frogs at the bottom of a well, never having heard of Bai Fu.”

The leading White Robe waved his hand, signaling the other White Robes not to act immediately.

“What is Silent Courtyard?”

“The Silent Courtyard is the faction we belong to.” Fragrant Fried Fish raised his head, his eyes filled with pride.

The demon’s faction?

The leading White Robe nodded slightly, “And what does ‘First Jailer of the Stars’ mean?”

Ah, this?

Not only Fragrant Fried Fish but also the surrounding players were completely dumbfounded. Although Fu Fu indeed had such a nickname, why bring it up unnecessarily? Now that they’ve asked, how do you explain it?

Fragrant Fried Fish was sweating profusely, wishing he could slap himself.

“You ask about jailers, right? A jailer is a jailer, yes, a jailer is someone we all encounter, but what exactly is a jailer? It’s quite common, but the first jailer is different. It’s an unparalleled praise…”

Fragrant Fried Fish was speaking in circles, but the leading White Robe became excited, a reaction he had never seen before from these demons!

A jailer, huh?

He speculated that this might be a high-ranking position among the demons.

“Speak! Why aren’t you continuing?”

Fragrant Fried Fish felt his scalp go numb under their gaze. To buy time, he could only stammer, “Actually, this title just appeared recently. In a vote involving hundreds of thousands of people, Bai Fu received 61.2% of the votes, so… first, yes, that’s how it came to be.”

The leading White Robe’s heart sank.

With hundreds of thousands participating in the vote, how many demons must there be in total? Bai Fu gaining 61.2% recognition from the demons suggests that her identity, status, and power are likely extremely terrifying. No wonder this demon spoke so arrogantly earlier—he had the capital to be arrogant.

“What are the evaluation criteria for the First Jailer?”

“This…”

“Not going to say? Not saying means blood sacrifice!”

Fragrant Fried Fish could only continue making things up, gritting his teeth: “Actually, there’s no fixed standard. Everyone has their own opinion. In my view, it should be evaluated from three perspectives, starting with outline.”

He deliberately slowed down his speech, causing the engrossed White Robes to become angry.

If you want to say, then say. If you don’t want to say, don’t pretend to delay time.

“Use the blood of these demons to honor the departed prophets!”

Fragrant Fried Fish panicked. How could he explain to these NPCs what makes a good jailer in detail?

Now it seemed he was stuck in a dead end. Not speaking meant death, and speaking also meant death. This was truly a calamity!

He was almost fainting from anxiety, and at this point, the other players began cursing loudly.

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, he suddenly received a private message.

[Buddy, don’t be afraid, Fu Fu has arrived!]

Fragrant Fried Fish was stunned for several seconds before reacting, “Everyone, don’t panic, Fu Fu has arrived, he won’t escape!”

Upon hearing this, dozens of White Robes instinctively turned around. Then, they saw a group of people appear on the distant sand dune.

“Master Priest, what should we do now…”





“What to do?”

“Pratt, should we flee or fight?”

The white-robed priest called Pratt remained silent. From afar, he saw Bai Fu. Although they had yet to engage, his innate strong perception already made him feel a chilling sensation that ran down his spine.

Extreme danger!

They were here to seek sacred relics, and it wasn’t the time to confront this first jailor of the Demon Realm who controlled little demons.

“Retreat!”

“What about these demons…”

“Kill… No, run fast!”

Pratt’s expression suddenly changed. He quickly clasped his hands together, forming a translucent massive barrier in front of him. As soon as the barrier unfolded, two small white figures emerged from the sand and exploded violently.

It was Xiao Xiao Bai Fu!

With Bai Fu’s current inspiration level at 105, the base damage caused by one Xiao Xiao Bai Fu explosion is 207 points. The destructive power of two Xiao Xiao Bai Fu exploding simultaneously was incredibly exaggerated.

The explosion stirred up a storm of sand, shattering the barrier summoned by Pratt into pieces. Under the powerful impact, he was hurled back more than ten meters.

However, his effort did pay off. The barrier absorbed most of the explosive force, successfully protecting the other White Robes.

At this moment, these White Robes no longer had the heart to deal with people like Fragrant Fried Fish. They helped Pratt up and started to flee.

“Thinking of escaping?”

Bai Fu gave a light hum.

She brought the players here for two reasons: one was to increase the players’ affinity; the other was to find out the origins of these people and why they attacked the players, to prevent the Silent Courtyard from suffering a larger-scale attack in the future. Therefore, she would not let these people escape.

“You go and rescue those bound undead, I’ll chase them.”

Bai Fu left the players behind, activating her fervor and Yi Cai, rushing out like a rocket.

She wasn’t sure if these people were deliberately fleeing to lure her into a trap, but it didn’t matter. She had another ace up her sleeve. When they set out, she had given He Fu new orders, directing He Fu to flank them from another direction.

Even with all their schemes, the White Robes wouldn’t stand a chance against absolute strength. Any tricks would ultimately become boring jokes!

…

Pratt’s heart sank even deeper.

He had almost exerted all his strength, but he still couldn’t shake off the woman chasing them from behind. If this continued, they would eventually be caught up.

There was no choice but to take a gamble.

“Change direction, let’s head towards where there are more sand worms!”

There were more of them, so even if they encountered sand worm attacks, dealing with them wouldn’t be too difficult. However, the woman chasing them alone might not have the energy to continue pursuing them once entangled by sand worms.

Pratt led a group of White Robes straight into the agitated sand worm cluster, dodging dozens of combined attacks from the sand worms with great difficulty.

“Shouldn’t we have successfully shaken her off?”

Instinctively, he looked back. But when he saw what was behind him, his pupils sharply contracted.

That woman was still chasing them. Not only that, but she was getting closer!

Was she not afraid of the sand worms?

Pratt focused intently and saw that Bai Fu showed no intention of detouring when faced with sand worm attacks.

Her 88 constitution points weren’t meant for detours. Whether it was foot soldiers, elite monsters, or wild bosses, she charged through everything without hesitation!

Pratt became increasingly anxious as Bai Fu kept colliding with obstacles. What kind of monster was this? Truly terrifying.

“Master Priest, it’s bad,”

Just as he was worried, the voice of a companion sounded in his ear.

“What is it?”

He followed the sound and froze on the spot. In front of him was a giant pit filled with sand worms, piled up in a way that made his scalp tingle.

But that wasn’t the scariest part. The scariest part was that there was someone standing beside the sand pit – a woman with black hair whose appearance was identical to the woman chasing them from behind.

Trapped in the sand worm nest and surrounded from both sides, they had nowhere to run!

“Is this also a test from the gods?” Pratt closed his eyes painfully, “Looks like we can only fight her.”

“He Fu, go!”

Bai Fu issued an order to He Fu.

Upon receiving the command, He Fu used Flowing Light to teleport directly in front of Pratt. Without hesitation, she unleashed a Xiao Xiao Bai Fu explosion right in his face, trading injuries, fully embodying the essence of a berserker.

Pratt wasn’t fighting alone, but against He Fu’s unreasonable tactics, the advantage of having more people couldn’t be utilized.

Let others fight. Once He Fu activated her spiritual energy shield, she focused solely on attacking him!

In terms of level, stats, health, and mana bar length, He Fu almost comprehensively outperformed Pratt. Her only disadvantage was that her skills weren’t as diverse as Pratt’s.

As an anomaly user, Pratt wielded anomaly defense and mental attacks with incredible skill.

However…

Mental attacks, huh? He Fu simply had no brain!

Attack all you want, sooner or later you’ll exhaust yourself.

Pratt didn’t know this. Concentrating all his efforts, he tried to severely injure He Fu first before turning around to deal with Bai Fu. But all his mental attacks fell like stones into the sea, causing no ripples. Eventually, due to excessive consumption of mental energy, he fell into a state of weakness.

Pratt and the White Robes fought until they lost hope. They had never encountered such a bizarre opponent.

None of their moves worked. How could they break through?

Suddenly, He Fu used a combat etiquette to control Pratt. During Pratt’s shock, the 3-second cooldown for Dimensional Erosion passed.

Boom!

A fierce explosion sent Pratt flying to the ground, scaring the sand worms in the pit into scattering everywhere.

Pratt’s health dropped drastically. Struggling to get up from the ground, his face was as pale as paper:

“The fire of hope will never extinguish. Even if you kill me here today, one day a hero who inherits the fire of hope will rise and purify all impurities in the world, restoring Source Star to its original state!”

Bai Fu hesitated for a moment.

Not quite, how does the villain’s line sound so righteous?

She threw a spirit vision at Pratt.

Pratt’s level wasn’t high, with a total level of only 31, even less than the Sand Worm BOSS that He Fu killed for her, but Pratt had an ultra-rare talent—

[Good Luck]

Isn’t this the same as Xia Shi?

So far, Bai Fu had only seen this talent in Xia Shi and Pratt. If Xia Shi was the protagonist, then Pratt was also the protagonist of some main storyline on Source Star?

Bai Fu narrowed her eyes.

She had already mastered the regional mainline of Goli Desert. If she could also grasp the main plot involving Pratt, then before leaving Source Star, she probably wouldn’t have to worry about where to grind experience anymore.

While she was thinking of a strategy, a White Robe who had been blown away by the Dimensional Erosion explosion got up in surprise and joy. Pointing at what Bai Fu called the “monster spawning box,” he shouted excitedly.

“Sacred relics, Master Priest, it’s the legendary sacred relics!”
