75: Chapter 75 Summoner

"Everyone, sacrifice your HP!" Blood Blade roared.

Immediately after, the team behind him rushed to the very front in unison, assuming a defensive stance.

"Sacrifice HP," Li Dabiao shouted.

"Sacrifice HP," Zhao Yun shouted.

At this moment, the leaders of various teams also followed suit, shouting the words they least wanted to say.

Gu Qingming gritted his teeth, stopped his attacks, and shouted, "All mages, stop attacking! Rush up and sacrifice your HP!"

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of players gave up resistance.

They held hands, forming hundreds of human walls.

After the first row fell, the second row immediately stepped up to take their place.

This was their final desperate plan discussed during their deliberations.

If Chang'an City fell, all players would face the penalty of having their levels reset to zero and being forced back to the Novice Village.

Since that was the case, it was better to proactively sacrifice HP to stall for time.

"Mumu, you go back!" Li Qing roared at Mumu, who was beside him.

"I don't want to! I want to be with everyone."

"No, go back immediately!"

Li Qing's voice was almost tearing apart.

He knew that for Mumu, levels meant one of the hopes for her recovery.

Therefore, her level was more important than anyone else's.

But Mumu's eyes were exceptionally firm; her face was already covered in tears, yet she just shook her head desperately.

"I won't... I want to be with..."

Before she could finish, Li Qing, who was in front of her, was struck hard on the head by a blade from the Demon Butcher.

Instantly, his HP dropped to zero, and he turned into white light and vanished.

"Wuwu... Brother Li Qing."

Although she knew this wasn't a real death, seeing someone who was good to her disappear right in front of her caused a feeling of distress that made her almost unable to breathe.

Suddenly, Mumu clenched her small fists and cried out at the Demon Butcher in front of her:

"You stinky guy! Come on! Kill me! Kill me!"

Ever since she entered this game, under Jiang He's protection, she had hardly suffered any harm.

Not to mention death, even her experience of attacking monsters was countable on one hand.

At this moment, watching the Demon Butcher in front of her slowly raise the blood-stained cleaver in its hand, an uncontrollable fear made her whole body tremble violently.

Yet she still stubbornly tilted her head up, clenching her trembling fists, and muttered to herself: "Mumu is not afraid. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all... I'll be able to respawn soon, wu..."

The moment the cold light flashed, a figure rushed over.

"Mumu, watch out!"

"Zhao, Brother Zhao Yun..." Mumu's eyes were bloodshot, and tears gushed out like a broken dam.

Zhao Yun, however, grinned at her and said: "Be a good girl, retreat to the back. Don't make your brother worry."

In the next second, Zhao Yun also turned into white light and vanished amidst the blade's glow.

But the Demon Butcher did not stop.

With a backhand, it swung another blade toward Mumu.

"Watch out!"

At this time, Gu Qingming, who was on the other side, lunged over and blocked this fatal blow for her.

Gu Qingming groaned in pain and roared at her: "You damn girl, didn't you hear me tell you to retreat? Get to the back!"

As soon as the scolding ended, he also turned into white light and dissipated.

Although Gu Qingming was arrogant and overbearing, his nature wasn't bad.

Other than being lecherous, he didn't have any truly malicious flaws.

When he learned about Mumu's situation in reality, he actually felt very uneasy inside.

Thinking back to the past when he forced Jiang He to stand outside the city and had his subordinates kill Jiang He blade by blade, at this moment, he felt some regret—regret for listening to Zhang Zixuan's instigation back then.

And just a moment ago, the instant he saw Mumu facing a death threat, he had involuntarily rushed over to block the blade.

At this moment, Mumu completely broke down.

"Don't... don't help me, I can do it myself... wuwu..."

Boundless guilt drowned her.

Why was everyone protecting her?

Was she destined to be a burden forever?

Just as she was in a daze, the anxious voices of Xiao Yao and Xiao Xue came from behind.

"Mumu, run!"

She felt her body being yanked backward violently; it was Xiao Yao and Xiao Xue working together to pull her away from the spot.

The next second, they were engulfed by the attacks of several Demon Butchers, and with a flash of light, they also disappeared.

"Sister Xiao Yao! Sister Xiao Xue! No—!"

In the distance, Jiang He witnessed this scene.

He tried his best to rush over to save his sister, but the monsters all around were surging like a tide, and he could barely move an inch.

Anxious, he could only shout out: "Mumu, run!"

At this moment, Mumu knelt on the ground, crying and cursing her own incompetence:

"Useless! A waste! Why is it like this wherever I go? In reality, I drag down Mom and Dad, causing them to lose everything... In the game, I also drag down my brother, hindering him from becoming stronger... And Brother Zhao Yun, Sister Xiao Yao, Sister Xiao Xue... It's all because of me... What can I possibly do to repay them?"

Despair, like a cold tide, instantly swallowed her.

Just in this boundless dark despair, suddenly, a faint light, as if coming from deep space, seemed to light up in her mind, and a gentle voice came:

"Child, do you want to become powerful?"

"I do!" Mumu responded in her heart without hesitation; this was her deepest desire.

"Come to me, and I will grant you powerful strength."

At this moment, Mumu's consciousness was drawn in, and she involuntarily reached out toward that light.

Inside the ball of light, a slender, fair hand, as gentle as a mother's, also slowly reached out, as if to take her hand.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch it—a sudden and anxious voice exploded behind her:

"Don't go, come back!"

This roar was like a thunderclap, instantly snapping Mumu awake, and she jerked her hand back.

"Damn it! You again! Why is it always you ruining my good deeds!" The voice in the ball of light suddenly became sharp and furious.

"Hmph! I will never let you succeed!" The Man in Black Robe's voice was equally cold and stern.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Mumu's arm, and forcibly pulled her back to his side.

Immediately after, his voice became low and gentle: "Little girl, wanting to become stronger isn't difficult, is it? I'll give it to you."

After speaking, the Man in Black Robe gently pressed his palm onto the top of Mumu's head.

In an instant, several brilliant, dazzling seven-colored lights, like a torrent, surged violently into Mumu's body.

"Ah—! I will definitely find you! I will kill you! Kill you!" The ball of light let out a shrill, desperate roar, then distorted violently, and finally dissipated completely.

When the light transmission ended, the Man in Black Robe's figure seemed to become extremely faint, and his voice was also extremely weak: "Girl... go fight... together with your companions..."

Before the words faded, his figure also disappeared completely.

Mumu snapped awake and was surprised to find that her character attributes had changed.

ID: Butt Bug.

Class: Summoner.

Skill: Summoning Space (1/2): Pets within the space can cultivate on their own.

Skill: Necromancy Summoning: Exchange blood for blood to summon undead creatures.

"Mumu, dodge!" Jiang He's terrified voice came again.

Just as Mumu recovered, she saw a ferocious-looking, massive Troll Chieftain charging violently toward her!

"Little Dog, come out and bite it!"

At her command, the figure of the Lava Young Dragon instantly appeared in front of Mumu; its size was indeed much larger than before.

The Lava Young Dragon let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar and fearlessly lunged at the Troll Chieftain.

However, after a few rounds of engagement, although the Young Dragon was brave, it was already covered in wounds, and its HP had dropped by nearly half.

After all, it was still in its infancy, and facing such a fully mature, powerful BOSS, it appeared inadequate.

In this critical moment, Mumu remembered that brand new skill: Necromancy Summoning.

How exactly was this skill used? What was its effect?

She immediately silently recited to activate it in her heart.

Instantly, a clear prompt panel appeared before her eyes:

[Necromancy Summoning activated: Please choose the level loss to exchange for an Undead Legion?]

Loss of 5 levels: Summon 100 Undead Warriors.

Loss of 10 levels: Summon 300 Undead Warriors.

Loss of 15 levels: Summon 500 Undead Warriors.
