After saying this, Spinach's eyes were dazed for a moment.
But soon, it regained its clarity.
"What happened to me just now?"
It shook its head, feeling that the self just now was itself but also seemed not to be itself.
It's like... possessed by a ghost.
This abnormality was too short-lived, so it did not attract the attention of Director Xiu, who just thought it was a sudden seizure.
Anyway, it seems that none of the old friends of the Xiu family are normal.
"If it's a tie now, how do we calculate it?"
At this time, Secretary He asked.
There are prizes on both sides. If there is a tie, the prize...
"Forget it, how about we just swap crystals this time, or I'm afraid you'll end up in trouble when you go back."
Director Xiu waved his hand in a magnanimous manner.
Anyway, I'm exchanging one for two, so I'm not losing anything.
"That's fine, that's fine, Bo Caicai!"
Spinach nodded repeatedly.
"call……"
Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
The main reason is not that [The Way of Chasing the Wind] is obtained, of course this is partly the reason.
The main reason was that he was a little afraid that Director Xiu would ask for another match to decide the winner.
This game of cards makes me feel a little tired, and I'm not sure yet.
Spinach's deck is stronger than those of previous coaches.
So the two sides exchanged copy crystals, and [The Way of Chasing the Wind] fell into Shi Li's hands.
In this way, he now possesses two seven-element paths.
However, although I really want to go in right away, I have already agreed to go into the dungeon with Straw Man and the others, so I can only postpone it for the time being.
Moreover, it is better to collect the demon-killing cards as soon as possible.
What if, for example, Director Wang Defa comes to challenge me, or if my points are not high enough and I need to challenge him?
Spinach was left to Director Xiu and Secretary He to receive him while they took this guy out for a trip, while Shi Li went home by himself.
…
After a few days, the cooldown of the Shili copy ended.
So everyone gathered in the hall.
In fact, there is nothing that you must prepare to play the dungeon.
It's nothing more than getting in a good mood, then recharging your energy and eating and drinking enough.
Compared to your mood, being well fed and well-drinking is more important.
Even if you are thrown into a desolate place, you will not starve to death immediately.
However, there is an exception in this team.
That is the porter Ah Qing.
"Well, are you ready?"
Shi Li looked at Ah Qing.
He had asked the other party about this in the past few days.
What kind of things should I bring into that copy?
But to be honest, he really didn't know what to bring to the world of demon hunters.
Slime did suggest finding a Taoist priest to draw some talismans or something like that.
Taoists still exist in the cubic card universe.
After all, some people were Taoists before they traveled through time. Why can't they continue to be Taoists after traveling through time?
However, Shi Li has visited several of those people in the past few days.
They are all charlatans who perform shaman tricks. The talismans they draw are useless. They can't even subdue A Sang, so how can they subdue monsters?
In fact, what he originally wanted to bring was weapons.
Even a mini solar laser gun would be fine.
But the cubic metaverse is peaceful and harmonious, and there is no such thing as weapons.
At least at their level, it cannot be bought.
Fortunately, Ah Qing later said that he had made preparations.
"Don't worry, I'm ready."
At this time, Ah Qing raised the sign.
"That's OK."
Shi Li nodded, and then said: "What exactly did you bring? Take it out and let us see it?"
After hearing what he said, everyone looked over.
"no problem."
Ah Qing put down the sign, and the frog doll costume began to wriggle.
After a while, it took out two scrolls.
"Fuck, what is this?"
The straw man tilted his head, but in fact he only cared about when to set off.
"Could it be... a magic scroll?"
Mosaichu's expression froze.
"Um... is there such a thing?"
Shi Li asked Mosaichu back.
In fact, what he had originally expected was that Ah Qing would bring all kinds of temporary medicines from the store.
After all, that thing is light and effective.
At a critical moment, it might be of great help.
But he also knew that this was a world where technology and magic coexisted.
The relics of the Holy Spirit are one of the proofs.
Magic is relatively rare in their city, simply because of the overall customs and practices.
I heard that in some cities, magic can be seen everywhere on the streets, but there is not much trace of technology.
If Ah Qing really brought a magic scroll, that would be nice.
It should be similar to the effect of temporary potion.
Then Ah Qing just shook his hands, and the two scrolls spread out vertically in front of everyone.
Strawman: "What's this?"
Mushroom: "Fuck, what is this?"
Shi Li: “…”
Only Slime seemed unsurprising.
“Thump, thump, thump~”
It even temporarily created two hands for itself and stretched them towards the two paintings.
"This is a portrait that I specially paid a lot of money to have made by a master. It is a special portrait that can ward off evil spirits and demons - the door god~!"
Its tone was very proud, as if it had accomplished something great.
The huge sum of money that Slime mentioned must be a huge sum of money. Shi Li was even reluctant to ask for the specific number.
"Wow, this is the legendary door god portrait? Mushroom?"
"Really, grass?"
At this time, the straw man and the mushroom became energetic.
They surrounded the two portraits, looking left and right, appearing very curious.
"I heard that these portraits are very magical. As long as you have them, you can be guaranteed... what?"
Mosaichu couldn't remember for a moment and looked at the straw man.
"Guarantee safety, health, success, wealth, exams, marriage, offspring, damn!"
The straw man raised his hands excitedly, but the more he spoke, the more mysterious it seemed.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's just as it says. After we come out of the copy, can we hang these two paintings at the door?"
"Hang it up, hang it up, hang it up, damn!"
"Of course that's no problem, I'll go find the master and ask him to paint a few more paintings, and even hang them above your bed!"
"Really? You're so nice, Mushroom!"
"You're so nice, you're so nice, grass!"
Seeing how excited these guys were, Shi Li said nothing and didn't have the heart to interrupt them.
These unscrupulous scammers on the market today are really taking advantage of foreigners who don’t understand Chinese culture.
He recognized the portrait the first time he saw it. How could this be a door god?
It is clearly a portrait of the God of Wealth and a portrait of Yue Lao.
There were a few things that the straw man said that were correct, he was guaranteeing wealth and good marriage.
If you really use this thing to get rid of monsters, the monster may not only not be afraid of you, but will even come to visit you and thank you for your blessings when you get promoted and become rich in the future.
"Alright, alright, that's it, get ready to go."
Shi Li clapped his hands helplessly at the unreliability of these guys.
Anyway, all Ah Qing needs to do is bring in the key item that he entrusted to her, which will be a tool to identify the Right-minded Faction.
As for the rest, just let them do whatever they want.
So everyone gathered together and formed a team, and Shi Li took out the copy crystal.
The crystal is green with ray-shaped vines wrapped around it.
Hold it in your hand and relevant information will naturally appear.
[Instance name: Yumu Journey]
[Number of players in the dungeon: 2 to 5]
[Applicable level: LV1~LV12]
【Time ratio: 1:10】
[Follower Card: 2, Equipment Card: 2]
You need to enter to view the specific copy tasks.
[Team structure detected]
[Duplicate key detected]
[Team and key matched successfully]
[The copy is opening...]
Lines of subtitles jumped out in everyone's eyes.
At this time, they each had their own ideas.
In particular, Slime kept repeating to himself that he couldn't be the first person to be eliminated this time.
Buzz...
With a ringing sound in their ears, their bodies began to fade and their vision began to distort.
His body was as light as duckweed, traveling through an unknown space tunnel.
Shi Li didn't know how much time had passed, because there seemed to be no concept of time in here.
Finally, he felt grounded.
"Fortunately, it didn't fall into the water this time."
When his vision returned, he saw a small village about one or two kilometers in front of him.
"Um?"
But when I looked around, I didn't see any mushrooms.
At this time, only Ah Qing was there.
After landing, Ah Qing looked around, seeming a little confused.
"By the way, the team system can check the positions of teammates."
So Shi Li opened the panel.
The panel shows a completely blank map because it has not been explored.
The three dots representing mushrooms are gathered together.
But the distance seems quite far.
After zooming out of the map many times and crossing a fairly large blank area, he found the ancient capital where he registered as a demon hunter.
There is also the farm where the jade-horned deer was encountered, and the city-county except for Thirteen.
"According to the 1:10 time ratio, it should have been more than a year since I last came here."
“I don’t know how they are doing.”
It’s not that Shi Li didn’t want to go over and take a look, but this place seemed to be quite far away, very far away.
"Check the mission."
At this time, Ah Qing next to him tapped him with a sign.
"Oh, yes."
Shi Li then remembered the important matter and turned the panel around.
[Introduction to this copy mission]:
You are a young man from the Wood Demon tribe who aspires to travel around the world, and the village in front of you is the first stop of your journey.
But you find that there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere of this village.
Find the source of the village's abnormalities and resolve them.
There is only one specific point below the introduction.
[Mission 1, enter the village and get information]
"Became a demon?"
After seeing the copy introduction, Shi Li subconsciously touched the top of his head to see if there were any horns.
But it's still the same, no change.
Perhaps in the eyes of the indigenous people, I have horns, or look like some other monster.
“Hmm…”
As for this task, after the last lesson, he was a little reserved.
The mission says that there is something wrong with this village. Is there really something wrong with it?
Last time, I trusted the task instructions too much, which caused me to waste a lot of time and take many detours.
Take a look at your own series of tasks panel.
[Phase 1: Please find a suitable sword spirit for the sword spirit tree]
Still no change.
In other words, this [Yumu's Journey] is considered the main storyline.
Your own series of tasks are still side quests and hidden quests.
How to complete it is up to you to explore it yourself while pursuing the main storyline.
"It's a bit of a headache. I don't even know how to find the sword spirit."
"Not to mention that it is a sword spirit that is suitable for my sword spirit wood."
He pulled back his sleeve and saw that the wood-grain-like tattoo had returned to his arm.
At this time, he felt his shoulder being tapped again.
"There is another version of the mission."
Ah Qing held up a sign.
After it reminded him, Shi Li realized that he could turn the page of [Introduction to this Dungeon Mission].
You are a young man from the wood demon tribe who aspires to travel around the world, but unfortunately you get lost and enter the lair of a demon beast.
After all, can you escape alive?
There is also a specific point below the introduction.
[Mission 1, survive]
"Oh, is this their version of the mission?"
"But don't tell me, even without disguise, the three of them already look like wood monsters."
Shi Li discussed it with Ah Qing and then came to a conclusion.
Perhaps the mission of this copy needs to be carried out in two lines.
Open the map again, and there are still 3 dots there.
"It seems that Slime performed well this time, and lasted for more than 10 minutes."
Shi Li expressed his approval.
In general, he believes that at this stage the two sides should act separately, and perhaps if they continue to work on each other's task chain, they will eventually meet.
Putting aside other things, at least there will be no problem for a straw man to survive.
"So what do we do now?"
Ah Qing held up the sign.
"Let's go into the village and ask around."
"But before that..."
Shi Li thought about it and took out the [Iron Rod] to equip himself.
Suddenly, a sense of power filled my whole body.
After becoming a B-level card, the [Iron Rod] has brought a stronger physical boost.
He felt that if he put this thing on his waist, even a straw man might not be his match.
Seeing Shi Li take out his equipment, Ah Qing also tried to tinker with it for a while.
However, all of this was done inside the doll costume, so it was impossible to tell what was equipped.
"Let's get another bodyguard."
Then Shi Li flipped his hand again and took out [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit].
Place it on the ground and control it with panel one.
Buzz!
The projection of the Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit was projected at a 1:1 ratio with real people.
Then the card gradually dissipated and the projection gradually became solid.
In a few seconds, she stood in front of Shi Li.
【Meow～】
Holding a folding nunchaku, she respectfully performed a Kung Fu salute towards Shi Li.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Shi Li looked the other person up and down.
This was the first time he released [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] as a follower card.
Because this card is not very suitable for PVE games, both of its attributes are for PVP.
So it is better to use it as an attendant to ensure your safety along the way.
Minion cards do not have copy power to help with disguise, so if they release minions with a style that is incompatible with this world, they may be recognized as aliens by discerning people at a glance.
But the sheep and rabbit are different. The cheongsam, sheep horns, and rabbit ears are all in line with the characteristics of this world and the demon race.
Add to that the pair of nunchakus made from [Evil Demon Dragon Bones], and he definitely looks like a powerful demon.
Because of this copy, you are given two chances to use follower cards.
Keep the other chance for now, you may still have to let the [Mourning Dog] out when needed.
Ah Qing thought about it and also released a follower card.
It was a huge goose, with its neck stretched out to be almost as tall as them.
There is a hint of purple in the goose's eyes, which cannot be distinguished if you don't look carefully.
A goose of that size is obviously not an ordinary animal and will definitely be considered a monster.
"You drew this card? You're lucky."
Shi Li recognized it as soon as he saw the appearance.
He had seen this card in the card pool in the previous copy.
[Semi-deteriorated goose], more therapeutic oriented.
He didn't choose it at that time because he felt it was not to his liking.
But it is at least a C-level card, and it is definitely qualified to be used as a follower.
After completing all this, Ah Qing finally put on sunglasses inside his doll costume.
This was specially made for me after I left the dungeon. After wearing it, I can tell at a glance whether the opponent is a right-minded person.
However, Shi Li was deeply skeptical about the eyesight of this guy of unknown race. Could he really see while wearing a doll costume and sunglasses?
As a result, the next second, he saw Ah Qing took out a thin folding stick and knocked it on the ground as he moved forward.
Da! Da! Da! Da!
[Goose! Goose! Goose! Goose!]
A big snow-white goose was leading the way in front. Those who didn’t know would think Ah Qing was driving the geese away, while those who knew would think it was a guide goose.
"Why don't you pick it first?"
Shi Li felt sweat on his forehead.
Can't you wear it only when you really meet a suspicious person, you idiot?
"Okay, go in."
Seeing that Ah Qing's behavior had returned to normal, he signaled that they should hurry up.
Until I entered the copy, no one came to challenge me.
In other words, even if there happens to be a challenger going to the card show hall at this moment, he still has about 9 days to delay.
Converted to the speed of time here, it is 90 days, three months.
He wanted to complete both the main storyline and the series of tasks within these three months.
Walking into the village, it was indeed a bit strange, just as described in the mission.
First of all, the plants here.
When they were at the copy drop point, the vegetation around them was green and full of vitality.
But all the plants within sight in this village were withered and yellow.
Then he looked at the villagers passing by, and they looked somewhat similar to Mu Jianzi from the Mu Ling tribe whom he had met before.
It has skin like tree bark and horn-like buds on its head.
But in the same way, these villagers also looked sickly, with dry bark and yellow and curled leaves.
All in all, the overall atmosphere is lifeless.
"Well, how do you feel?"
Shi Li turned around and asked Ah Qing.
Unlike humans, some alien races have extra sensitivity in certain aspects.
So he wanted to see if Ah Qing had noticed anything that he couldn't find.
At this time, Ah Qing, who was asked, looked around, and his behavior revealed his thinking.
Then he quickly wrote a few words and held up the sign.
Ah Qing: "Is autumn here?"
Shi Li: “…”
