Chapter 688: Chapter 212: General of The Broken Star! (Game storyline content, can be skipped)_5

Until she crept into a nearby cave, meandering seven ways and eight ways, she came upon a warning in front of a cave door full of bug eggs.

"...I really want to leave"

Felling something was amiss, Nu Liu was about to walk back when a worker ant dropped down from a blind spot above her and forcefully nudged her, sending her directly into the cave.

Then, Nu Liu looked up.

And saw a sight she would never forget for the rest of her life.

In the small cave, a super-giant ant was crawling!

To be precise, it wasn’t that the ant was massive in size.

It was its abdomen that had swollen into a massive, milky-white sphere!

The already enormous worker ants were like child’s play compared to this white sphere.

And there were signs of wriggling within the swollen abdomen.

"Damn it! The queen ant!!!" Nu Liu almost shrieked until her voice broke.

The image of a queen ant would make one feel physically ill even in reality.

Let alone in a dark, cramped cave, magnified hundreds of times.

Every detail was meticulously crafted, life-like.

It caused Nu Liu’s hair to stand on end, and she nearly vomited out of disgust.

The usually joyful stream viewers also struggled to hold themselves together at this scene.

"Hiss..."

"Mommy! Get it away! Take the camera away!!"

"Grand spectacle + shocking visual impact + the player’s scalp numb, it’s indeed a breathtaking view."

"Breathtaking view (meaning a scene of despair)"

"I’m numb! What the hell was Baby Ke thinking when designing this game???"

"Speaking of Baby Ke... I’m more concerned about Chief Beauty’s mental state... Such a pretty and cute little sister, just what sin did she commit to be punished as the Number One player, Chief Beauty..."

"Boohoo... I’m not coming here anymore, I’m going back... Ah! It burst!! I’m never coming back to this place..." Nu Liu was completely breaking down in the live stream, and her voice was choked with sobs.

————

"F*ck, this map’s scenery is really disgusting!"

"Never seen a place this revolting..."

Compared to Nu Liu’s breakdown on live stream.

Eggplant’s camera work was no less intense.

He was currently located in a large area to the east of the borderland, named Geelyede.

Wherever he looked, there were vast expanses of crimson decay.

The very earth here was red, the sky was red, all of it reeked of rot and barrenness.

If it were just that, it wouldn’t be enough to make Eggplant, a grown man, cry out in disgust.

What’s more crucial was the artistic style of the entire Geelyede.

Clusters of ruined buildings were all eaten away by the crimson decay, with their surfaces showing layers of lotus seed pod-like indentations.

This densely arranged, yet orderly scene, though not biological, also caused a very disgusting and uncomfortable sensation.

There’s a saying that out of ten people with trypophobia, nine are faking it, and one is especially faking it.

But after the viewers in Eggplant’s live channel saw the artistic style of Geelyede.

They all declared.

I fold, I’m not faking it anymore.

Turns out I really do have trypophobia...

"Damn, the Top player is somehow the Greek god in charge of artistry," Eggplant frowned heavily as he looked on.

Luckily,

The Top player seemed to understand that players definitely couldn’t stay in this kind of scenery for long.

So, he only retained that initial sight of wasteland decay to give players a little visual shock.

If the player rode a horse just a bit further, that absurd and revolting artistic scene disappeared, leaving only the red color theme of heaven and earth, allowing the players to breathe a little easier.

Along the way, Eggplant battled with a series of new monsters such as giant crows and overlord dogs while collecting items everywhere.

Soon he arrived at an area called Red Lion City.

This was where the ultimate boss of Geelyede was located.

At first, Eggplant thought this city was like Stonewell City.

Grandiose on the outside, with a delicate Diorama-like structure inside, a couple of Blessing Spots linking the entire city, making the interior space structure tight and intricate without losing refinement, the experience was endlessly marvelous and intricate.

But after entering, he realized.

This abandoned city was just a wide, open straight road.

The city gates were flung open wide, with no soldiers inside.

The dilapidated buildings on both sides were not fit for exploration by players.

Approaching the city,

One would be stopped by a roaming NPC named Jelien, standing atop the castle tower.

Through conversation, one could learn.

Red Lion City was currently holding a festival.

The festival was possible due to the promise between the current lord of Red Lion, Jelien, and Ratan.

Jelien, who loved wandering, was a guest commander of Ratan, and he had pledged to let one another "die with honor."

Bound by this promise, Jelien had been resisting Geelyede’s crimson rot and awaited the "Festival of Battle."

The purpose of the sacrifice was to unmercifully defeat and kill the still-living General of the Broken Star, known as the strongest demigod of the borderland—Ratan.

Following this, the cutscene CG emerged.

Red sands filled the sky over a barren battlefield with no end in sight.

Ratan, with a head of red hair and an especially burly and sturdy stature, riding a frail warhorse that was completely disproportionate to his size, wandered over a battlefield littered with corpses.

The horse could hardly bear Ratan’s weight, gasping desperately to support itself, but still mercilessly pressed under by Ratan.

At this moment, aside from his flowing red hair, Ratan had lost all reason.

Like the black dogs of Geelyede, he bowed his head, gnawing at the bodies of the dead soldiers.
