Chapter 36 Blood and Roses (Part 2)
Xiang Liangyu stopped on top of the Torii gate, his head moving irregularly, his eyes looking at the hesitant players under the gate, and then at the house some distance behind the gate.
She felt a little hungry.
Let’s eat one player first.
A loud and clear whistle suddenly sounded in the silence.
The players who were chattering and discussing strategies suddenly became quiet. Xiang Liangyu looked at the figure that suddenly appeared at the door below, flapped his wings and flew down.
A pale finger stretched out into the air, and Xiang Liangyu stopped on that finger. The bird's claws stepped on the cold finger, and for a moment she felt her feathers were frozen to pieces.
"It's so lively." The man retracted his fingers and used his other hand to stroke the fur on Xiang Liangyu's bird head. Occasionally, when he touched particularly soft fur, he would stop and rub it for a while until Xiang Liangyu opened her mouth and pecked him before letting go.
The man was wearing a Japanese grey-blue kimono, with a row of small braids tied behind his head, and the loose hair on his forehead covered most of his eyes. Because his skin was too pale, the small mole on the tip of his nose was more obvious. The corners of his mouth were curved in a strange arc: "The village hasn't been so lively for a long time."
The players outside the door, except Jiang Cangshu and Cui Daoping, the other eight people have basically huddled together:
“Lu Lu Lu Lu… Lu Jifeng!”
"It's over! We are not going to be wiped out!"
"I just used up my immortal gold medal in the last world. Now I'm really done for."
"It's okay! It's just the beginning, he won't get sick!"
Jiang Cangshu rolled his eyes in his heart, then walked into the village, and came face to face with Lu Jifeng. He said in a frank and clear tone, "Hello, we are the envoys sent by the kingdom to select wolf slaves. I believe you have heard about what happened in the kingdom. We need fifty high-quality wolf slaves."
Lu Jifeng: "The selection of wolf slaves requires the presence of the village chief."
Cui Daoping frowned: "Aren't you the village chief?"
Lu Jifeng: "I'm just an ordinary villager."
The bird in his hand chirped, and Xiang Liangyu laughed so hard. The sound that came out of the bird's mouth was "mi|mimi".
An ordinary villager? Then she is just an ordinary bird.
Doctor Wu Yun looked at the players still outside the door and became furious: "Then just stand outside and don't do the mission. Go into the forest and feed the wolves!"
As Xiang Liangyu felt the strength of the hand on her back getting stronger, her stomach became flatter and flatter, and soon she couldn't help crying out in hunger. She lowered her head and poked his finger with her sharp beak.
Lu Jifeng's smile deepened: "The village chief is out hunting wolves, and it will take some time before he can return to the village. Everyone, please come in first."
After saying that, he held the bird of paradise on his fingers and threw it gently into the air. Xiang Liangyu flew away from his hand, circled in the air, and landed on the head of a bald man in the player group.
"What the hell is that! Get out of here!" When the player Zuo Lie felt something strange above his head, he roared in fear and disgust, and slapped his head to try to drive away the bird.
Instead of driving the bird away, he hit his own head and left several red marks. The scene was quite funny.
Player Information:
【Name: Zuo Lie
Identity: Wolf Hunter
Health: 100%
Available props: (C-level) scratch cards (you can get anything except money)]
Zuo Lie had been clamoring to join Jiang Cangshu's team. Now that he was being stared at by this strange bird, he was naturally terrified. After entering the village, he rolled and crawled to Jiang Cangshu's side: "Sister!"
Jiang Cangshu: "..."
There's no use calling mom.
After leaving claw marks on the bald man's head, Xiang Liangyu swallowed her saliva and flew away. After waiting for a while, she would have a full meal.
Just thinking about it makes me hungry.
Xiang Liangyu flew to a branch, folded his wings and stared at the players. Villager Lu Jifeng was no longer visible, and all the players entered Wutou Village.
When the last player's heel sank into the torii gate, the space-time scene distorted in an instant. Looking back, the road and forest outside the torii gate were no longer the same road and forest as when they came in, but a cliff that came to an abrupt end, breaking away from the torii gate.
What the player faces is not a disorderly village, but a road of neither long nor short. The roofs of houses can be vaguely seen at the end of the road.
On both sides of the road are spreading woods, and weeds of varying lengths are planted on the roadside. The blue and purple buds dotted in the grass look like tiny eyes.
The last player who came in noticed something was wrong and subconsciously looked back. He was instantly frightened by the cliff two steps away and his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
When fear reaches a certain level, one will lose one's voice. Xiang Liangyu originally wanted to eat Zuo Lie, the strongest player among the players, but since he was marked by her, he has been following Jiang Cangshu, leaving Xiang Liangyu no chance to get close. When she was almost starving, a player who fell behind happened to catch her attention.
"Feng Sheng, what are you doing? If you don't...Feng Sheng!"
When the players at the back of the team realized that there was no one around them, they knew that the coward had fallen behind again. They had no choice but to stop and turn back to call him, but when they saw the scene in front of them, their blood pressure suddenly rose and their breathing became rapid.
His shout made all the players turn around .
Xiang Liangyu was drooling with hunger, and he spread his wings and rushed towards Feng Sheng who was sitting on the ground below. The moment he got close to him, his originally bright feathers immediately exploded and became longer, and his pointed beak opened wide, revealing the dense teeth inside, and he swallowed his head in one bite.
When Xiang Liangyu sensed the player's fear, he was holding his head in his mouth and looking back at the player.
Jiang Cangshu was the first to react. He took out his mobile phone and quickly pressed the keys. Then he put it to his ear and stared at Xiang Liangyu's bird eyes: "His name is Feng Sheng. He is your family member. Your family does not allow people from the same family to eat together. Now, spit out your brother and eat your own feathers."
The reason for giving this order was that everyone present could clearly hear Feng Sheng's anxious and frustrated roar from Xiang Liangyu's mouth.
Xiang Liangyu rolled her eyes, stared at the mobile phone she placed next to her ear, and moved her mouth.
When she entered this world, Fang Zi had introduced two red-starred players to her, one of whom was Jiang Cangshu. It wasn't because she was so powerful, but because her permanent items were quite disadvantageous to NPCs.
Jiang Cangshu's mobile phone is like a hypnotic prop. As long as she successfully dials the number on the button, no matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, they will believe the first sentence she says after dialing and obey her orders.
But all the NPCs had no idea how she dialed or which number she dialed, so she was defeated every time.
Xiu Lu once committed suicide by seppuku while under her hypnosis, but fortunately, her tools were not yet A-level, so a strange result occurred.
Low-level NPCs are completely hypnotized and become her human shields. The higher the level, the shorter the hypnotic control time. Therefore, Xiu Lu broke free from her control within two seconds after the knife stabbed into her abdomen and saved her life.
But after watching her highlights, Xiang Liangyu discovered a loophole, that is, the target of hypnosis by this big mobile phone must be a human being, and someone with independent thinking ability.
But she is a bird in this world. Can birds understand human language? Of course not.
So, in the anxious atmosphere of the players, she clenched her sharp beak hard and severed Feng Sheng's head and body.
[Player Feng Sheng's health has returned to zero, and he has died. ]
In Xiang Liangyu's ears, there was another system notification:
[Congratulations to the Forest Guardian for killing the Wolf Hunters (1/5). Please keep up the good work. ]
Jiang Cangshu: "..."
It’s bad, birds can’t understand human language.
“Feng Sheng——!!”
Cui Daoping cursed, took off the magic hat on his head, pinched the brim and threw it towards Xiang Liangyu.
Xiang Liangyu swallowed the head in her mouth, and her hungry stomach finally eased. Just as she lowered her head to bite Feng Sheng's body, a magic hat flew towards her quickly, hovering and spinning above her head.
She saw a white creature coming out of the dark hole in the hat. Xiang Liangyu moved a little and opened her mouth to face the hat.
Cui Daoping immediately understood what she wanted to do and shouted, "Everyone, leave!"
A white dove fell out of the hat and hit Xiang Liangyu's mouth.
Zuo Lie was stunned: "Oh my god, why are you still feeding her?"
Cui Daoping took back his hat and put it on his head: "Don't leave, feed her here."
The lone wolf players didn't know each other, and there was no extra emotion. Zuo Lie silently lit a candle for the player who died in Xiang Liangyu's stomach. Unexpectedly, he turned his eyes and met Xiang Liangyu's eager eyes. He looked back and saw no one else behind him.
Zuo Lie took a deep breath, turned around and ran: "Brother! Brother! Sister Cang Shu!"
After quickly finishing eating the player's corpse, Xiang Liangyu felt his hungry stomach finally fill up. He squinted his eyes and burped comfortably.
"You adapt quite quickly." An ambiguous laugh came from a distance.
Xiang Liangyu returned to its normal body size, flew to Lu Jifeng's head, and pecked the top of his head.
Lu Jifeng's smile froze for a moment: "Don't do it on my head."
In this secondary world, all NPCs entering the world will receive unified training to help them adapt to their roles better and faster. Xiang Liangyu's character and Lu Jifeng's character have too many connections, and their relationship has rapidly developed from being speechless to being able to joke with each other.
According to Xiang Liangyu's character, she stepped on Lu Jifeng's hard hair and ordered, "Comb my hair."
Lu Jifeng: “…”
At the end of the rough road, the two roads are divided equally.
The ancient village directly in front of you is reflected in your sight. All the houses seem to be of the same height, and the view is suddenly bright at a glance. In the upper left corner is a narrow path. The trees on the side of the road are intertwined in mid-air, like a long and round tunnel.
Cui Daoping adjusted his hat and said, "Are all the people here? We won't save anyone who falls behind."
"Why didn't you save it?! You all have the tools, and Jiang Cangshu has used them, so why don't you unite and kill the bird?"
He Yu, the player who first discovered Feng Sheng's death, was standing at the end of the team. He had not yet recovered from the shock just now, but after hearing Cui Daoping's words, he inexplicably clenched his fists and mustered up the courage to question.
The whole place was silent. In this already quiet village, there was an inexplicable tense atmosphere.
Jiang Cangshu put away his mobile phone, turned his head neatly, his hair arcing in the air, glanced at him and said, "First of all, props are secretive, and it is the consensus of all players not to use them unless necessary. Secondly, my props have been analyzed by all NPCs , so they are not secretive and there is no need to worry about using them. But they don't need to expose their weapons for a temporary teammate."
"In the end, didn't you use your props?"
She retracted her gaze and said, "You are all lone wolf players, but this world needs us to team up. If you want to act alone, I will not stop you. Similarly, if you voluntarily follow me, I will rescue you as long as it does not threaten my life."
Silence spread again. Zuo Lie was the first to raise his hand to break the silence: "I volunteer, I volunteer, sister, sister, take me with you."
