Chapter 33: Fellow Villager, Sending Warmth
[Beep beep beep beep~beep beep beep~]
Boom boom boom…
In addition to the strange music, the fox-headed guard also heard the growl of an unknown monster.
The growl gave her a feeling of being watched by a predator, as if it was ready to devour her at any time.
[Is this the voice from hell?]
She felt a little emotional.
Unlike the fox-headed guard, the vision of the bald elf and others was not blocked.
So when they heard the music coming from the passage behind them, they turned around unconsciously and saw a strange scene.
"What the hell is this?"
"Why is there a car in the dungeon, and it's a sprinkler truck..."
"The technology tree of this dungeon world point isn't in this direction, right?"
"The key point is why the sprinkler truck appeared here."
Yes, they saw a sprinkler truck.
Sprinkler trucks are very common, but they are not ordinary at all when they appear here.
Looking towards the cab, they got the answer.
Above the head of the person holding the steering wheel, a number is floating: 99.
Then there was another person in the passenger seat, number: 7.
But person No. 7 seemed sick and looked listless.
"Hello everyone, I'm not late, am I?"
Just then, they saw No. 99 sticking half of his body out of the car window and waving at them.
[What, what is this?! ]
The fox-headed guard had just regained his sight, and was stunned when he saw the huge golden and iron mechanical beast.
Then her eyes swept over James again, and her expression suddenly tightened.
(Why is Adjutant Zhan inside the mechanical beast?)
(Look at her, has her identity been discovered and she is imprisoned?)
"Whose friend is this?"
The bald elf looked at the others and said with a delighted expression, "There are actually vehicle equipment cards. How impressive!"
With such a vehicle in hand, the strength of their alliance will surely rise to a higher level.
But no one answered his question. Everyone looked at each other in confusion because they didn't know No. 99 or No. 7 either.
"Everyone, stand still, I'm about to start!"
However, Shi Li didn't care about you and stepped on the accelerator.
call!
The huge front of the car came rushing over.
The players present were all confused.
Their first thought was: Why does the sprinkler truck start so fast?
What no one knows is that although this sprinkler truck looks ordinary, Shili actually spent real money on it.
[Wind Element Power Assist]: Can enhance the affinity of the equipment to the wind element
[Titanium alloy shell]: Improve the impact resistance of the vehicle
[Low-level Wind-breaking Rune]: Reduces the air resistance of weapons
It can be said that this modified sprinkler truck is much more powerful than the original fire truck.
Bang!
It was not until the closest player was knocked away that the others reacted.
This guy has bad intentions!
But that was all they had time to react.
The sprinkler truck was very fast, and its presence made the originally spacious stone bridge seem quite crowded.
Most of the players didn't have time to dodge.
Only those who were standing closer to the side subconsciously avoided it, feeling the strong wind blowing on their faces and their hair flying.
Bang!
Arcs of figures flew up in the air and fell towards the lava water.
The seriously injured fox-headed guard was unable to dodge and could only watch the ferocious mechanical beast rushing towards him.
Jie~~~~~~~!
However, there was a harsh friction sound, and the mechanical beast's momentum quickly stopped.
The outer shell of its huge head just touched the tip of his nose.
A hint of coolness from the metal finally woke her up.
Plop!
The sounds of people falling into the water were heard frequently, followed by a broadcast.
【Ding Dong!】xN
[I've become stronger, OUT! ]
【What to play tonight, OUT! 】
【Two slices of bread with cheese, OUT! 】
[Add salt to tofu pudding, OUT! ]
【I'll lend you my brain, OUT! 】
…
A large number of contestants were eliminated at the same moment.
[I, I'm not dead? ]
The fox-headed guard officer swallowed.
Then he heard Shi Li's voice coming from the car.
"I told you I have good skills. Are you relieved now?"
“Ah!!!”
But the only response he got was James's vomiting.
[You guys are…]
The fox-headed guard actually said this to James.
She didn't know why the prisoner helped her.
"Can you drive, man?"
"What a lousy driving skill! Damn it!"
At this time, most of the surviving contestants who noticed something was wrong slipped away, leaving only two young men to issue condemnations.
Shi Li: "I'll explain it later. I'll reverse the car first."
Kaka! x2
"Oops!" x2
【Ding Dong!】x2
[We will definitely win this year, OUT! ]
[The strongest newcomer, OUT! ]
Buzz!
With one final flash of light, the sprinkler truck disappeared out of thin air.
"You don't know how high the sky is. How dare you question my driving skills?"
Shi Li picked his ears, looking unhappy.
“…”
The fox-headed guard stood there, not knowing what to say.
She originally thought that these prisoners were immortal.
Because just a few hours ago, he personally threw a prisoner into the lava, but the guy swam out unharmed.
She knew that all this was due to the curse on the ancient temple.
Going further back, they also tried depriving them of food and water.
But under the protection of the ancient temple's mysterious power, these prisoners are still alive and well.
As a result, now, a mechanical beast can easily kill them?
"Sir, let's go back and talk about it first."
James finally recovered a little at this time.
So they returned to the residence of the Fox-Head Guard Officer, who listened to James' explanation while receiving the bandage.
After listening, she was silent for a long time.
You know, once the lock is placed, even the guards can't open the prison door.
In the past, there were very few cases of prisoners escaping from prison.
Unexpectedly, they who were thought to be immortal actually had such a weakness.
"Anyway...thank you."
Although she felt uncomfortable thanking a prisoner, after all, the other party saved her.
"It's just what each of us needs."
Shi Li spread his hands.
"I don't know... ahem!"
The fox-headed guard pressed his chest and coughed twice: "Is there anything our guard team can help with?"
Shi Li: “Of course.”
Fox Head: "Oh? Please tell me!"
Shi Li: “Don’t block the way.”
Fox head: “…”
…
Inside the viewing box.
"Crazy! It's absolutely crazy!"
"He actually eliminated more than a dozen contestants at once!"
Secretary He pinched his thigh hard, a look of delight on his face.
He opened the leaderboard and found that the number of people online was less than 80.
If Coach Shi works harder, he might be able to make it into the top 32.
You know, let alone the city representative trials, their card room hasn't achieved outstanding results in medium and large-scale competitions for a long time, even including the Rising Star Comprehensive Competition.
If Coach Shi can stand out from thousands of people and enter the top 32, it will definitely bring a wave of popularity to their card room.
"Coach, this is really interesting."
At this time, Director Xiu also raised the corners of his mouth.
She never expected that after discovering the existence of the mole, the other party would choose to join forces with the mole in this way.
By the way, that sprinkler truck looks pretty cool.
…
One day later, at the end of the passage in Area A11.
The huge double doors leading to Area A10 were closed, and a team of guards were standing in front of the door.
【Do you feel it?】
[Today's prisoners seem to have significantly fewer prisoners than yesterday]
One of the cat-headed men yawned, revealing his fangs.
[Have you heard that there was a riot at Fox Head’s place?]
A well-informed kobold took up the topic.
But his words aroused everyone's doubts.
[I heard that there are forces outside who are planning to break into the ancient temple]
[Prisoners have been parading around everywhere since yesterday]
[Why do you only say that there was a riot at Fox Head-sama's place?]
So a cat-headed man asked.
[You don’t understand this! ]
[I heard that more than 20 prisoners appeared on the stone bridge at once! ]
The kobold gestured and waved his hand.
More than twenty people?!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else present changed color.
They all knew how powerful the prisoners were.
Unlike the guards who gain special abilities through training and sacrifice, these guys are born with super powers!
This kind of super-powered person is not someone that ordinary people can contend with. Even if they have undergone several years of devilish training and are equipped with excellent armor and special weapons, it would take a full crew of six people to confront a super-powered person head-on.
More than twenty people appeared at once, what a terrifying concept!
[Did Master Fox catch them? ]
Another cat-headed man asked.
[No, I heard that the prisoners were very mean and ambushed her and severely injured her! ]
[I am still lying in bed reading a novel! ]
The kobold raised his voice.
【Hiss!】xN
The others gasped on the spot.
You have to know that the guards are invincible in their eyes, even more powerful than the immortal prisoners.
How could such a person be seriously injured?
【Reading novels in bed? 】
Only one person was familiar with the fox-headed guard officer and couldn't help but mutter: "It doesn't sound serious. Isn't she like that in her daily life?"
[Have the Dingyi District and the following areas been occupied? ]
At this time someone asked again.
Area Ding 1 is the area where the stone bridge is located, and it is connected to Areas Ding 2 to Ding 10.
Due to the terrain, there is only one guard officer, Lord Foxhead.
[No, because a mechanical beast appeared out of nowhere! ]
[To say that the mechanical beast is so powerful, it can be said to be... huh? ]
【Did you hear any strange noises? 】
The dog-headed man was talking excitedly when his ears suddenly twitched.
After he said this, everyone listened attentively.
Sure enough, I heard a wonderful melodious and healing music, and it was getting closer and closer.
It seems to be coming from behind the door...
Bang!!!
Before they had time to think about it, they saw the door panel being violently pushed open by something.
Those who were standing in front of the door were knocked out and flew more than ten meters away.
Bang!
Even with the protection of armor, several people were still knocked unconscious.
[Machine! Machine! It’s a mechanical beast! ]
The ogre who reacted first climbed up with difficulty.
Seeing the huge monster in front of him that almost occupied the entire passage, he looked disgusted.
[It's a prisoner! ]
The people who got up later had tense expressions.
They all saw the eye-catching number 99 among the mechanical beasts.
[Huh?]
But the next second, I found that familiar number, 7.
Lord Zhan, his status is second only to the guard officer.
He is the only adjutant in their ancient palace. I heard that he will become a guard officer in the future!
“…”
At this time, James's face was cold, and he sat in the passenger seat and looked down at them.
She just stretched out her hand from the car window without saying a word and gestured: Get out!
【!】x6
The guards looked stern. Although they didn't understand, they still made way by following the wall.
The sprinkler truck drove a long way away, and James finally stopped pretending: "Hah!!!"
Retching, now all she could do was retch.
Because everything that can be vomited has been vomited out.
"This ancient temple is a really good place. It's just wide enough for traffic to pass through."
But Shi Li was just busy galloping.
The passage of the ancient temple is slightly narrower than the stone bridge, but it is better this way.
Because in this way, he can use the car body and the wall to kill, oh no, it will be more convenient to eliminate the players.
They couldn't even dodge if they met or were overtaken in the passage.
I casually opened the leaderboard and found that I was ranked 50th at this moment.
Bang!
"Ouch!"
【Ding Dong! 】
[I am innocent, OUT! ]
[I am innocent, OUT! ]
Well, 49 of them.
Shi Li: "There are less than two days left, the situation is not optimistic."
James: "Really? Why do I feel like you have a smile of enjoyment on your face?"
Shi Li: "Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."
James: "Eh?! Wasn't it full speed before?!"
…
Area A11.
【Catch him! Catch him! 】
[It's going that way! Block it!]
Two teams of guards were shouting to capture a prisoner.
call out!
But that swift and nimble figure drew a vague trajectory and passed through the wall of people.
[Damn it! He slipped away! ]
[I can’t catch up at all! ]
[This guy is riding a strange iron horse at a very fast speed! ]
Listening to the shouts of being left further and further behind, Gong Ping felt very proud as he pedaled his bicycle.
"If I had known this would happen, I should have taken out this equipment card earlier."
His superpower is [Quick Kick].
[Fast leg kicking]: The leg kicking speed increases, and the pain is so severe that you can’t walk the next day
I didn’t take out this [bicycle] before because I was afraid of the pain and because I couldn’t bear to sacrifice my legs.
From single [Demon Lock] to triple [Demon Lock], a total of six locks, it took him a lot of time.
It was not until nearly early this morning that he finally escaped.
Fortunately, he is now ranked in the top 20.
As long as you keep it up, the chances of advancing are very high.
However, at this moment, he heard a slightly familiar music.
[Beep beep beep beep~beep beep beep~]
"Huh? Orchid Grass?"
Gong Ping was slightly stunned.
The next second, two headlights lit up in the dim passage.
It was like a giant beast opening its eyes.
"What's going on?"
The light was so blinding that he subconsciously raised his hands to cover his face.
Then he looked through his fingers and saw a...sprinkler truck.
The passage is obviously spacious, but at this moment it is almost completely occupied by this car.
The crowded space gave Gong Ping a suffocating feeling.
This sense of oppression appears simultaneously with the melodious melody, creating a sharp contrast.
At this moment, he heard a familiar voice coming from the loudspeaker in the car.
"Fellow countryman, I am sending you warmth."
"No! That's not fair!"
Bang!
