Chapter 283 You Can't
"What happened?"
Seeing what happened in the store, Bing Lei looked worried, waved his hand, and temporarily stopped registering.
How could a high-level NPC who is hostile to Su Xia suddenly appear?
They had heard of the Zero Point Tavern.
Since the server was launched, many lucky players have joined the Midnight Tavern.
It is not difficult to survive in the tavern. You only need to complete three tasks every month. You don’t have to assassinate others. Some escort or collection tasks are very simple.
Players are all immortal, so it is easy to complete the three tasks by doing whatever they want.
"The guy from the Zero Point Tavern is so strong. I can't even see his attributes."
"Me too, I can only see a bunch of question marks."
The players were talking among themselves, but their voices were low.
Bing Lei and North looked at each other, stood up and left their seats, ready to support Su Xia when necessary.
But as soon as they walked into the door, a strong pressure prevented them from going any further, as if two huge rocks were pressing on them, and both of them changed their expressions.
This NPC that suddenly appeared was stronger than they had imagined!
Bing Lei looked solemn. He immediately opened the storage space menu and set a psychic bomb obtained from a mission not long ago to the shortcut key in case of an emergency.
North took out a fire bomb, which could produce extremely high temperatures and unextinguishable flames when it exploded, and even psychic creatures could not escape.
As players, it is not easy for them to get equipment that ordinary NPCs cannot get.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other dozen or so team leaders who were present also took out their most precious equipment.
Ice bombs, high-level psychic traps, armor-piercing devices, psychic shock weapons, powerful mechanical arms, etc., are all the things that are kept in the bottom of the box and are usually reluctant to be used when fighting ordinary BOSSes.
So many pieces of equipment combined are enough to pose a fatal threat to ordinary third-level or even fourth-level psychic creatures.
If you launch a surprise attack, and if you are lucky enough, you can even kill a few fourth-level psychic creatures.
As the game has developed to this day, players are no longer the weaklings who can be slaughtered at will.
"Heh, you undeads are quite interesting." Fan Lu turned around and smiled coldly, "You think you can threaten me with some incomplete weapons?"
"Some things can only be known after trying." There was no fear on Bing Lei's face. The worst that could happen was that he would die once. His immortal body was his greatest reliance in this world.
The rest of the group did the same, approaching the pharmacy with weapons in hand.
They did nothing about the pharmacy crisis from yesterday to today, and Su Xia had to get through it all by herself, and in the end, they made a joke of the split.
Now, it's finally time for them to play a role.
The resistance alliance is so large, with hundreds of player teams and tens of thousands of official members. We can't let Su Xia face certain dangers alone all the time.
However, facing these extremely powerful weapons and equipment, Fan Lu did not feel any threat, but just felt it was ridiculous.
He no longer paid attention to the many players, turned around and continued to face Su Xia, and said coldly: "It seems that the old guy didn't teach you how to entertain guests."
"If it's a bad guest, there's no need to treat him well." Su Xia remained calm.
"In that case , I'll go get it myself."
Having said that, Fan Lu walked towards the entrance of the basement, not paying any attention to the three brothers in the pharmacy.
Seeing this, Lan Bafu gritted his teeth and asked, "Why didn't you come to buy medicine when the teacher was here? Are you afraid?"
"You little fat boy are quite courageous." Fan Lu looked calm and continued walking towards the basement.
"Why don't you answer?" Lan Bafu continued to ask, "Are you really afraid?"
Fan Lu didn't want to answer, but he was asked so many questions that he became a little annoyed. He stopped, looked at Lan Bafu coldly and said, "Why not? Even if that old man was here, I would still come to get the medicine!"
"It seems like you really don't dare!"
"What are you talking about, you little fat guy?"
Fan Lu shouted coldly, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and turned to walk towards Lan Bafu.
Seeing this, several other members of the Zero Point Tavern immediately pulled him aside and whispered, "Minister, this is the place of the Mechanical Clan, don't act rashly."
"What are you afraid of? What will happen if I move?" Fan Lu looked worried.
"That incident happened and now both sides are unhappy. It's better not to cause trouble at this critical moment." Another member advised.
"It's not a big deal!" Fan Lu said in a cold voice, "If the Mechanical Clan dares to kill my people, I can kill theirs too!"
That incident, of course, refers to the incident today when Mercer led his troops to destroy two Zero Point Tavern contact points.
This matter can be big or small, depending on how both parties express themselves.
To put it in a small way, it can make a small matter disappear, but to put it in a big way, it may cause a head-on collision between the two forces, which no one wants to see.
The Zero Point Tavern suffered a loss, but the Mechanical Clan was right. After all, it was the tavern member Li Sanguang who helped evacuate the joint camp.
Coincidentally, the person in charge of one of the two contact points that were destroyed was Fan Lu’s direct subordinate.
Fan Lu arranged for that person to come to the southwest region for training and to increase his qualifications. He had planned to bring him back to the core department of the tavern in two years, but he did not expect that he would die here.
He was in a bad mood today, which might have something to do with this matter.
Now, both sides are making intensive preparations for the negotiations.
"We received a message from the other side asking us to be cautious and wait until the negotiations are over." The tavern member next to him also advised: "Now is not the time to tear each other apart. Minister, don't be impulsive."
"Negotiation? The strong never need negotiation. It's just an excuse for the weak!"
Fan Lu snorted coldly, and a light blue dagger appeared in his hand. The blade flashed with a cold light, and his aura was frighteningly strong.
What he wanted to do could not be stopped even by his companions.
He turned around and stopped walking towards Lan Bafu or the basement entrance. Instead, he walked straight towards Su Xia behind the counter and said coldly, "You are a person that the mechanical tribe values. What will they think if I destroy you?"
Su Xia said nothing, and several level 5 poisons appeared in his hand.
This is one of the trump cards his father left for him. Each poison has a different color. Some are highly corrosive, some can cause dizziness and hallucinations, and some can make people crazy.
The viscous liquid medicine rolled in the slender transparent tube, and a few bubbles popped up from time to time, which looked a bit dangerous.
Upon seeing these poisons, the expressions of the other members of the Zero Point Tavern except Fan Lu changed.
They grabbed Fan Lu again and advised him, "There's no need to do it here. This area is full of ordinary people. If things get out of hand, it will be hard to explain to the headquarters."
"Make it a big deal?" Fan Lu looked at Su Xia coldly, "Does he have the guts to make it a big deal?"
In his eyes, Su Xia was just a weak creature whose psychic power was less than level two. He could kill Su Xia with just a few moves of his fingers.
The only thing you need to be careful about are those few potions.
"Get out of the way!"
Despite the objections of several people who were traveling with him, Fan Lu insisted on taking action.
He swung his sword fiercely, the cold light was dazzling and the murderous intent was shocking. The blade was shining with blue light, like condensed cold air, and it instantly forced towards Su Xia.
Su Xia was prepared. He jumped up, avoided the blade, and threw out a pure black potion in his hand.
"Bang!"
The potion shattered under the blade, and the debris splashed everywhere, but this time there was no poisonous mist, only a sticky liquid splashed out.
There was a flash of surprise in Fan Lu's eyes. He didn't expect that Su Xia could still move under his pressure and actually avoided the knife.
How many good things did that old guy leave for Su Xia?
Before he could move again, a "sizzling" sound came from the dagger in his hand.
Most of the sticky liquid medicine had actually attached to the blade, like a thorn in the side, constantly corroding the metal blade that was flashing blue light.
But in the blink of an eye, the blade became full of pits and even the sharp blade was dented.
Just now, the other areas splashed by the liquid, including the ground, counters, glass booths, chairs, etc., also made sizzling sounds and were corroded with holes.
"What a strong potion!" A drop of it splashed on the clothes of a tavern member. A , and even the inner clothes began to be corroded.
He looked startled and quickly cut off that part of the clothes with a dagger.
Fortunately, it is autumn and winter now, and they all wear more clothes.
If it is summer and you accidentally get this thing on you, your skin and flesh will be corroded. Just thinking about the pain is enough to make your scalp numb.
"As expected of that master, the things he left behind are so powerful." Another tavern member sighed with his head down. He looked at his psychic shield and discovered that there were several small corroded holes on the shield.
It's really amazing that that kind of potion can corrode something that is pure energy.
If Dad were here in person today, they wouldn't be as relaxed as they are now.
Fan Lu's face looked much uglier than before. The knife in his hand had been corroded with holes and was completely useless.
"Little thing, now you owe me a knife!" He stared at Su Xia coldly, "What are you going to pay with?"
"You also owe me a fifth-level potion. What do you plan to use to pay me back?" Su Xia's tone was normal. Facing such a powerful fifth-level psychic creature, he did not show any intention of surrendering.
At this time, Hong Bafu had just woken up from fainting and his head was still hurting.
Seeing this, he instantly understood what had happened, clenched his fists and shouted, "Good job, bro! Give him another strong dose!"
"Do you want to die?" Fan Lu turned and stared at him.
"When the teacher was here, you didn't come to buy medicine." Hong Bafu made the same mockery as Lan Bafu, "Now that the teacher is gone, some garbage can't wait to jump out!"
"It seems you are really eager to die!"
Fan Lu's murderous intent was revealed. Even though the dagger in his hand had been corroded, he could easily kill psychic creatures of Hong Bafu's level.
He turned around, let Su Xia go for the time being, and walked straight towards Hong Bafu with a knife in hand.
Seeing this, Lan Bafu hurriedly protected Hong Bafu and took out the precious potion that his father had rewarded him.
The store was filled with murderous intent, and the terrifying aura coming from Fan Lu was almost suffocating the two brothers and the players at the door.
"Are you anxious?"
Su Xia suddenly spoke, and with just three simple words, she succeeded in making Fan Lu stop.
Sometimes, these three words are more powerful than thousands of words.
The murderous intent on Fan Lu's face became even stronger. He had been insulted repeatedly by a few ants today, and his anger had already crossed a certain bottom line.
He had only intended to teach a few people a lesson, cripple their hands and feet at most, then take the potion and leave, but... now he really wanted to kill someone.
He was absolutely confident that at such a close distance, even if Su Xia had the help of potions, he would be killed by his sword.
"call……"
Su Xia took a deep breath and held the potion tightly.
If I don't use all my strength, it will be difficult to deal with this guy today with only the potions left by my father.
But if he uses most of his strength, he will run the risk of exposing his identity.
"It seems... this is the only way." He glanced at the two Blessed Sacred Figures beside the stairs and quickly came up with a plan in his mind.
With the help of the potion, he could temporarily hold off Fan Lu, delay his actions, and then lead Fan Lu out of the pharmacy.
If Fan Lu dared to chase him, Su Xia would continue to run.
The potion is limited and cannot hold out for too long, so it is naturally impossible to lure Fan Lu to the suburbs.
However, as long as Su Xia takes him to a sparsely populated street, he won't have to worry about hurting other people. He can use the floating light bomb obtained from the alien spaceship to let Fan Lu see the light from heaven.
Su Xia made up his mind, his eyes turned cold, he would either blow this guy to death or cripple him today!
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the pharmacy: "Are the people in the tavern so presumptuous now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure that Fan Lu brought to everyone was instantly relieved.
The expressions of the other tavern members changed slightly, and they all looked at the person who spoke.
The person who came was Yu Tuo.
He came in his full form and stood outside the pharmacy. His huge body was like a steel monster, facing Fan Lu inside the store.
Many players outside the store breathed a sigh of relief, immediately made way for Yu Tuo, and stepped aside to watch how things developed.
Although they have been in long-term opposition to the mechanical race, it is okay to temporarily borrow Yu Tuo's deterrence as long as the pharmacy's predicament can be resolved.
"Why is Yu Tuo here?" Su Xia was secretly surprised. He did not notify anyone.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being tugged. He turned around and saw Liu Liangmu hiding in the corner.
Liu Liangmu winked at Su Xia, and the meaning was self-evident.
This guy is a person who values his life. He is very good at judging the situation and observing people's words and expressions. He felt something was wrong as soon as Fan Lu walked in. A normal customer would not be like Fan Lu.
After Fan Lu attacked Su Xia, Liu Liangmu immediately sent a message for help to the city lord Qi Lang.
Qi Lang was also confused when he got the news - why did something happen in this small pharmacy again?
At this critical juncture, he didn't dare to confront the people from the Zero Point Tavern head-on. He could only bite the bullet and call the Mechanical Clan base to contact Yu Tuo.
So, Yu Tuo came.
As the lord of Coral City, he is extremely powerful and has a high status within the Mechanical Clan. He was also a semi-successful experimental subject of a certain "flesh and blood - machine" evolution path of the Mechanical Clan.
His arrival made several members of the Zero Point Tavern except Fan Lu feel more pressured.
"City Lord Yu Tuo, I haven't seen you for a few years. I hope you are doing well!" One of the tavern members had seen Yu Tuo before and immediately stepped forward to ease the relationship.
"Um."
Yu Tuo responded indifferently without any other expression.
The two sides were like this, separated by a door, one inside the pharmacy and the other outside the pharmacy, and the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
Several members of the tavern knew that Su Xia was someone Yu Tuo valued, and that they had indeed gone too far today. They all wanted to ease the conflict between the two sides and were thinking about how to open the topic.
However, Fan Lu snorted and said coldly to Yu Tuo outside: "You can't do it, let Mo Se come!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the other tavern members turned pale.
Doesn't this gentleman see the situation clearly? How dare he say such a thing? This statement is undoubtedly a slap in Yu Tuo's face!
With Yu Tuo's status and identity, even the bigwigs in the core layer of the Mechanical Clan would not say such things to him.
Several members of the tavern were anxious and hurriedly thought of countermeasures to appease Yu Tuo's anger.
But at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew outside.
"call……"
In just a blink of an eye, there was another person next to Yu Tuo's tall body.
The man looked calm, wearing a stylish black tuxedo, standing tall, leaning on his cane, looking calmly into the pharmacy, and said, "I'm here, what do you want?"
"you……"
This time it was Fan Lu's turn to change his expression.
Mercer is here!
