The Boss Behind The Game

Battle Online official web forum...

At this moment, the live stream platform was bustling with activity. One of the live streaming channels had reached a horrifying number of more than nine million viewers.

Most of the players in the game were watching the live stream on this channel.

The Demon King Hu He, generally acknowledged by the players as the most powerful villain in the game, was digging up seals in a live stream.

[In response to a huge amount of requests from the players to dig up seals in a live stream, I shall represent justice this time as I am the savior of the world!]

He was walking through a marsh area, holding a shovel in his right hand and a compass in his left.

Tick! Tick! Tick!

Following the sounds of the compass, Hu He paused. Cha Na's zombie spirit behind him stepped forward, taking the shovel from Hu He's hands and started to dig, sparing no effort.

Meanwhile, the players in the live streaming channel had looks of anticipation on their faces.

Although they had always heard about Hu He's destructive ability, this was the first time they were seeing it for themselves through the live stream, so they were full of curiosity.

Under Hu He's direction, Cha Na's zombie spirit dug fervently, and soon, a black cave appeared in the muddy ground.

This time, Hu He, who had no psychological burden at all, looked at the cave and smirked. Then, he pulled out a searchlight and other tools, before jumping into the cave.

After he landed, he started to explore his surroundings.

The inside of the cave looked like an underground palace. Moss and cracked slabs of greenstone covered the ground. The searchlight swept across his surroundings in a circle, its light never reaching an end. There was so much open space around him.

"The Zombie Energy Value is not as strong as the time I dug up Yuanxu, but it's still considered high… there must be a big corpse somewhere around here. Now I need to check if there are any seals here, too," said Hu He as he raised the searchlight, walking forward.

"The smell of decay in the air is very strong, with a slight toxicity. This underground palace has probably been here for a very long time and judging from the smell dissipating in the air, I suspect the poisonous mist marsh up there was caused by a huge tomb…"

As the players listened to Hu He's explanations, their visions followed Hu He as his footsteps carried him forward, little by little.

The players could not deny that they truly admired the professional competence that Hu He demonstrated. They had also gained a lot of knowledge from his explanations along the way.

After walking for about ten minutes, a wall covered in rust appeared before Hu He. There were numerous strange characters engraved on the wall.

As these characters had been significantly damaged, even the artifacts were unable to interpret its contents.

However, what piqued the curiosity of Hu He and the players were the six pearls glowing with a dim luster, embedded in the middle of the wall.

[Demon-Sealing Formation (Seal)]:

Item Details: High-level seal array, formed by arranging six Demon-Sealing Pearls. It can only be broken by a specific method. Forcefully breaking the seal open will trigger a curse set by the one who cast the seal.

Damage sustained: 0.1%

Upon seeing the item information, Hu He immediately furrowed his eyebrows.

This seal was different from the others, it even had a curse set to prevent damage.

He had a feeling that he'd seen these kinds of seals before in the ancient book.

If the seal was forcefully damaged, not only would he be unable to break the seal, but he would probably be sent back to the resurrection point, too.

Watching Hu He deep in thought, the players in the forum started to get excited.

Crayon_Shinchan: "Is digging up seals really this hard? I thought he could just dig with a shovel and be done with it. (laughing emoji)"

Xueli_The_Strongest: "You can do it, Great Demon King, you're the best!"

Watermelon_Taro: "I'm starting to suspect that he's a grave robber in real life. Warning, call the police (laughing emoji)!"

...

Hu He glanced at the comments before looking at the Demon-Sealing Formation again.

This was his first time coming across this kind of seal, for a second he didn't know what to do.

Anyway, it's not entirely impossible. He opened the photo album and started to flip through the ancient book.

This book, The Secret Code of Zombie Spirit Sect, had recorded numerous techniques that the seniors of the Zombie Spirit Sect had used to deal with special seals when digging up graves.

Hu He flipped through the pages in his search and eventually found a page filled with written content about breaking and dealing with a Demon-Sealing Formation.

After reading through it carefully, Hu He stood up and walked over to the Demon-Sealing Formation. He pressed his right hand on the Demon-Sealing Pearl in the center, pushing it downward slowly.

The players watched curiously as Hu He moved the six Demon-Sealing Pearls back and forth according to the method recorded in the ancient book.

Meanwhile, the luster on the surface of the pearls flickered and dimmed during Hu He's attempt.

After about five minutes, as Hu He pushed a Demon-Sealing Pearl from below to the center, all six Demon-Sealing Pearls flashed dimly at the same time.

Click!

Several cracks appeared on the six Demon-Sealing Pearls, as a rich green mist dissipated from the cracks. Hu He decisively moved back a step.

Boom! Boom!

At that moment, the underground palace started to shake. Everyone in the live streaming channel had astonished looks on their faces as a gap gradually appeared through the middle of the rust-covered wall, which then shifted toward both sides.

Hu He and the players were all wide-eyed as they stared at the sight beyond the wall.

There was a large green pool beyond the wall. Hideous-looking half-man, half-monster creatures were densely packed and immersed in the pool.

There were roughly a few thousand of them and this was only an estimation as far as he could see.

The green liquid in the pool corroded the creatures, whose bodies melted quickly and rapidly turning them into skeletons.

However, this was not what shocked Hu He and the players. Instead, these creatures that turned into skeletons a second ago grew flesh and rebuilt their bodies in no time at all.

[The Shebi Corpse Clan]:

Character Details: An ancient clan of the Land of Xianxu, cursed by the Ancient God to lose their souls yet remain immortal, constantly suffering in pain. The only way to relieve the pain is to consume the flesh and souls of others.

Status: Dormant

Hu He smiled as he read the information about these creatures, while the players in the forum let out a big cheer.

Crayon_Shinchan: "How awesome! After watching the whole live stream, I dare say we can't allow him to stay around. Let's trick him into settling the dangers of Cangxu, then use the resurrection point to seal him again. He's more than terrifying. (laughing emoji)"

Xueli_The_Strongest: "Bravo! Amazing! Found a large tomb and broke a seal, how proficient he is in his operation. However, even though I'm happy, for some reason I feel a sense of danger in my heart!"

Watermelon_Taro: "The Great Demon King truly is horrifying, no wonder he is generally acknowledged as the most powerful villain by all the players. (laughing emoji)"

Lost_8k_To_Online_Dating: "After watching the whole live stream, I just want to say that I feel uneasy if The Great Demon King is not sealed away. But don't worry, this time you can dig as you please because that's what the people want. (laughing emoji)"

Taoist_Zombie_Hunter: "Remember, all of you made a promise, you can't go back on your words…"

...

After seeing the players assuring him through the screen, Hu He had a little peace of mind. He turned his attention to the pool in front of him.

Now that he had broken the Demon-Sealing Formation outside, awakening the Shebi Corpse Clan would be a piece of cake.

As the players watched in anticipation, Hu He took a speaker out from his channel.

After he pressed a few buttons on the speaker, the lights started to flicker and loud music exploded from the speaker.

At the same time, waves gradually surged in the green pool.

The viewing players were rendered speechless.
