Chapter 247 -245: This Game Is Really Interesting
The spiritual world overlapped with reality, but there were some differences in the details.
For example, the Huangpu River of the inner world was just a very shallow creek, with water flowing just high enough to submerge a person’s ankles, which was why the Flame Ash Dragon could stand atop the Huangpu River.
Moreover, from Zhao Mingwei’s perspective, the TV tower across the Huangpu River had already collapsed into flaming ruins, while in reality, the Oriental Pearl Tower was still intact.
Just the game’s modeling?
Zhao Mingwei was entangled with the Flame Ash Dragon by himself, yet his mind was occupied with other matters, this being the second time monsters from the game had appeared in reality according to his recollection.
The sight of Jiangcheng’s Pedestrian Street being destroyed was still fresh in Zhao Mingwei’s memory, and it seemed the situation this time might be even worse?
Behind Zhao Mingwei were gathered as many as three hundred thousand spectators, and under one exhale from the Flame Ash Dragon, not a single person could escape.
No, that’s wrong, this is Saint Spirit’s AR gameplay, and the Flame Ash Dragon in front of him should also be just a holographic projection, which can’t inflict any harm on real people.
But is that really the case?
This doubt gradually turned into fear that took root in Zhao Mingwei’s heart, unwilling to experience the disaster of Jiangcheng’s Pedestrian Street being destroyed a second time.
Although the Flame Ash Dragon was enormous in size, its movements were unexpectedly swift, and it possessed its own intelligence. It saw Zhao Mingwei’s hesitation and with a swipe of its claw against the ground, evaporated the water of the ‘Huangpu Creek’, unleashing a ring of flames erupting beneath its fierce claws.
In that moment, Zhao Mingwei had no choice but to leap to avoid the ascending flames from the ground, but the instant Zhao Mingwei jumped, the Flame Ash Dragon suddenly flicked its tail like a long whip at Zhao Mingwei.
Normally, Zhao Mingwei could have dodged, but the hesitation in his mind caused his movements to lag by a half beat…the Flame Ash Dragon’s tail struck Zhao Mingwei, and his body was flung away by the force of the blow.
He eventually crashed into the guardrail, which would have shattered into pieces in real life, but the guardrails in the inner world were extremely sturdy. Zhao Mingwei’s body slammed fiercely into the guardrail, which only dented slightly, and a notification popped up behind Zhao Mingwei.
‘Instance boundary, crossing prohibited.’
Dumbfounded, aren’t you? I have an air wall! The sturdy little guardrail seemed to mock the distant Flame Ash Dragon with this attitude.
That hurt a bit.
Zhao Mingwei sat down on the ground, attempting to prop himself up with his hands, the pain of the collision with the guardrail was very distinct, and his health points had dropped to less than five percent from the impact.
“Hey! Are you okay?”
“What are you doing, girl? This character is just a CG projection!”
Zhao Mingwei turned his head and saw that among the crowd gathered at the riverbanks, a girl dressed in sportswear had actually climbed over the guardrails. She held the guardrail with one hand while trying to grab Zhao Mingwei, who lay on the ground below.
This was very dangerous behavior! They should know that beneath the riverbank guardrails lies the bottomless Huangpu River!
Onlookers nearby had begun to shout in panic, but the girl still stretched out her hand to grasp at Zhao Mingwei’s shoulder.
But her hand just passed through Zhao Mingwei’s shoulder…she could not touch him at all.
“I told you it’s just a CG character! Xu Yuan, quickly get back up!”
The girl’s friend called out to her anxiously, but as Zhao Mingwei was unable to get up, the girl continued to reach out several times to try and help Zhao Mingwei up.
But it was no use…though she was close to Zhao Mingwei, they were worlds apart!
The Flame Ash Dragon didn’t miss this prime opportunity. It let out another roar and charged towards the fallen Zhao Mingwei… and the crowd behind him at the riverbanks.
“Run!” Zhao Mingwei gulped down a big swig of HP potion and stood up from ‘Huangpu Creek,’ addressing the girl at his side.
“Run?” She looked towards the Flame Ash Dragon charging at them from afar. “Isn’t that just a holographic projection?”
So you knew!
Zhao Mingwei certainly knew it was a holographic projection, but everything felt too real. Coupled with the past experience of Jiangcheng’s Pedestrian Street being destroyed, he didn’t dare to gamble on what would happen if the Flame Ash Dragon suddenly broke into the crowd.

He simply couldn’t afford to gamble.
With his awakening ability on cooldown, Zhao Mingwei had no other skills to counter the charge of the Flame Ash Dragon.
“Quick, get out of here…” Zhao Mingwei yelled at the crowd behind him, but they all remained indifferent, seemingly thinking his words were just a routine CG performance.
They filmed Zhao Mingwei’s figure with their phones along with the distant Flame Ash Dragon approaching and couldn’t stop admiring how lifelike the effects were.
“This isn’t like you at all.”
Zhao Mingwei was extremely chaotic inside, but suddenly he heard Jiang Qiao’s voice by his ear. At the same time, a character clad in golden armor suddenly appeared on “Huangpu Creek.”
Elemental Summoner’s awakening skill… Elf King.
This summon, standing three meters tall, waved his hand and actually blocked the Flame Ash Dragon’s assault, sending frigid mist rising above the water’s surface.
“Not like me?” Zhao Mingwei looked up at Jiang Qiao, who had appeared by his side.
“This is the most difficult BOSS in the Holy Spirits, and if you defeat it, you will get countless rewards and prestige. What should the usual you be doing?” asked Jiang Qiao.
Zhao Mingwei was stunned. He liked playing Holy Spirits, but knowing some truths about Holy Spirits, he had burdened himself too much.
He absolutely… absolutely couldn’t let those monsters escape into the real world.
This notion wasn’t so prominent when Zhao Mingwei played Holy Spirits casually or as a professional player, but it became increasingly heavy after encountering the Annihilation Legion for the second time during the Battle of Godhood, and the Flame Ash Dragon appeared on the river.
Playing a game shouldn’t come with such burdens, just like the glory of being a professional player. Zhao Mingwei was already very tired.
And most importantly… defeating the Annihilation Legion and the Flame Ash Dragon wasn’t his responsibility alone!
“Of course, it’s to call others to run the instance!”
Zhao Mingwei’s fingertips glided and called up his friends list. Online, online, online, online!
At that moment, one hundred ninety-three friends, companions, and fellow gamers that Zhao Mingwei knew in the game or in reality, were all online! His friends list displayed a uniform shade of green.
‘World of the Abyss Flame Ash Dragon instance! Need a group leader!’ Zhao Mingwei immediately sent out a mass message.
‘I’m already on my way.’
‘Damn? Boss, you entered the instance already?’
‘Shit, shit, shit… Boss sent me a private message? Should I treasure this like a family heirloom?’
‘Whining, can the big shot send one more, I love seeing you talk.’
‘Coming.’
At that moment, the Flame Ash Dragon had completely shredded Jiang Qiao’s Elf King into fragments. It was accumulating blazing flames in its mouth, intending to torch the crowds by the river into ashes with its breath.
But before its breath could fully gather… a shadow clad in black raised a shield and slammed it directly into the face of the Flame Ash Dragon.
“Group one DPS, take the three o’clock position! Group two DPS, twelve o’clock position! Group three ranged DPS, avoid using fire attribute attacks! Healers, maintain your distance, don’t get within three hundred meters of the Flame Ash Dragon! Fluffy Rabbit! The first Holy Chant can be cast now!” Mo Shigui shouted loudly to his team.
The members of Nuclear Leap’s raid team nearly fell from the sky in an instant… As soon as Mo Shigui landed, he began to arrange the raid team’s positions.
“Hey, hey, hey! You guys are skipping the queue and not paying for the portal, making it hard for me!”
Bubbles, riding a flying mount, also descended from the sky, but nobody from Nuclear Leap answered him.
“Screw it… we must kill the Flame Ash Dragon this time! Can, you take command! We can’t lose to Nuclear Leap on the damage leaderboard again!” Bubbles jumped off the flying mount, with lightning and thunder magic gathering in his hands, as hundreds of Cola Frenzy players arrived in full force.
“Hahaha! You guys can’t lose to Nuclear Leap, but you might lose to us… Old Song, you’re pulling the mobs nicely, swap all the Abyss Temple’s tanks to DPS gear! We don’t need that many tanks to fight this guy!”
Can Xin certainly wouldn’t miss out on this commotion… None of the eight major guilds could miss out, nor could the ordinary players pass on this carnival.
The sky was filled with Holy Spirits riding various flying mounts.
And Zhao Mingwei stood on the river’s surface, watching the Holy Spirits on the battlefield clash with the Flame Ash Dragon… The roaring of the Flame Ash Dragon grew fiercer, and suddenly, hundreds of monsters composed of Flame Elements appeared on the battlefield.
They were all summoned by the Flame Ash Dragon.
“Time to make a big scene.” Jiang Qiao, wielding his Magic Wand, no longer paid attention to Zhao Mingwei and charged directly into the battlefield.
In that moment, not only did the Holy Spirits on the battlefield embrace a carnival named battle, but the audience behind them was also fired up by this epic confrontation, entering a state of exhilarated enthusiasm.
“This game… is really interesting.” Zhao Mingwei murmured, and the next moment, where he had been standing, there were only water splashes.
Zhao Mingwei was somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of popularity surge Holy Spirits would experience after the Flame Ash Dragon challenge event was over.
