Chapter 39 Blood and Roses (V)
King Huangfu's action left Xiang Liangyu speechless. Her emotions fluctuated so much that she lost all her strength and forgot to maintain her bird form. With a "bang", she turned into a human form and fell from the tree.
The wings were not retracted yet and they scratched against the sharp branches, which was a bit painful. Fortunately, the feathers were thick and the branch did not directly touch the skin. But if I fell down like this, I would not feel much better.
But the expected pain did not come, and she fell into a cold embrace. Her hands subconsciously clasped on the broad shoulders. When she realized her situation, Xiang Liangyu looked up suddenly.
When I raised my head, I met a pair of black eyes that were darker than the night.
NPC personal information has been updated:
【Name: Quan Shengyan
Position: Chief of Wutou Village
Health: 1000%
Available props: None. 】
Xiang Liangyu took a deep breath and forced a smile to greet him: "What a coincidence."
Quan Shengyan placed her gently and steadily on the ground, bent down and knelt on one knee, and stroked her calf with his cold fingers.
Xiang Liangyu shuddered for a moment due to the sudden chill and subconsciously tried to step back, but someone grabbed her ankle.
Quan Shengyan stroked the wound that was scratched by a branch and left a bleeding mark. His fingertips gently slid across the surface of the wound. Wherever they touched, the wound disappeared instantly.
He lowered his head and stood up, his eyes caught sight of the gold watch on her wrist, the three needles spinning violently. He curled his lips and wanted to say something, but found that Xiang Liangyu was not looking at him at the moment, but leaning out her head and staring at Jianyue Lake.
King Huangfu stood still, while the monsters in front of him rolled on the ground holding their bottles, begging their father to hold them.
And King Huangfu said six more words: "Go down to the lake and wash yourself clean."
The monsters made sounds that they thought were cute but were actually terrifying, and obediently jumped slowly towards Jianyue Lake.
There was even a queue.
Xiang Liangyu clenched his fists immediately. As long as the player triggered this task, the monster guarding Jianyue Lake would lock onto and track the triggerer and feed him into the long-hungry lake.
King Huangfu obviously knew the purpose of this chaotic battle, which is why he used props to let the guardian feed the lake on his behalf.
The monsters are immersed in a beautiful dream called "innocence" and have great trust in the words of their common father, but how can they break this dream?
After Xiang Liangyu realized that the touch on her legs had disappeared, she turned back and said to him, "Thank you."
Quan Shengyan looked at her polite and awkward appearance and felt a little disappointed.
Xiang Liangyu, who had no idea of Quan Shengyan's inner thoughts, suddenly had a sudden realization. She had already thought of a solution.
After Xiang Liangyu turned into a bird, he rushed towards King Huangfu. However, when his sharp beak was about to pierce his head, King Huangfu slightly turned sideways and said coldly, "Someone wants to kill our father, children."
The monsters that were about to jump into the lake one after another turned around instantly after hearing his words, and their targets shifted to Xiang Liangyu.
Prince Huangfu stood still as a mountain, and calmly adjusted his glasses beside her: "Let's eat."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
A pretentious man.
The monsters had already left the lake and were crawling on the ground at a high speed, running towards Xiang Liangyu. She did not fly off the ground and transform into a human form in front of King Huangfu.
The moment she turned into a human form, the first charging monster flew towards her. Xiang Liangyu reached out and grabbed the ball of hair, holding it firmly in her hand, and asked, "Children, where is your mother?"
The guardians by the lake have intelligence, and they have all been downgraded to fixed NPCs due to consecutive losses.
The reason why fixed NPCs are feared by countless NPCs is that they have to retain their sanity. They can only confine themselves to this corner, and their only way of action is to be triggered by the player.
Once a fixed NPC is downgraded, unless it is rescued by a higher-level NPC, it will lose itself in the day-to-day cycle and become a walking corpse that only knows how to kill.
But fortunately, this group of fixed NPCs have not yet reached the point of losing themselves. After Xiang Liangyu asked this question, all their movements slowed down to a stop, as if they were thinking about this question.
Xiang Liangyu was not idle and had nothing to do, so she had to help these fixed NPCs. But if Prince Huangfu successfully completed this chaotic battle, it would be troublesome for her.
Fang Zi told her that every world would have something like a time bomb, and the danger level would increase due to strange operations by the players, and even worse, it would rise from C-level to S-level.
Jianyue Lake is a time bomb. If you eat non-player food, it will go berserk. The things at the bottom of the lake will not wait and will crawl out to find food. The danger level will also rise from A to SS. At that time, it will eat anyone it sees, regardless of whether they are inside or outside.
There are many dangerous scenes in the A-level world. Players cannot check them, but they are clearly written in the eyes of NPCs. In addition to Jianyue Lake, another scene with the same danger factor is the Spine Forest next to it.
In addition to killing the player, the NPC also has to clean up the mess after the player's amazing operations.
This is very troublesome, so Xiang Liangyu is satisfied with the reactions of these monsters.
As she expected, the monsters began to change their targets. They all surrounded King Huangfu, and a voice came from nowhere around him:
"Dad, where's Mom? Mom..."
"Where's mommy...where's mommy?"
"Mom...don't we have a mom?"
Prince Huangfu adjusted his glasses, walked up to Xiang Liangyu with his long legs, and bowed to her: "My lady, from the first time I saw you, I was sure that I fell in love with you. Yes, in this world where life is worthless, I fell in love with you. I wonder if you mind being their mother?"
Xiang Liangyu was stunned: "Are you crazy?"
You must be crazy.
Before Xiang Liangyu could get angry with him, the monsters who were left aside by King Huangfu became angry. It was like the bubble of beautiful fantasy had been popped, and the cruel reality without reservation was laid out in front of you, making you feel angry and a little ashamed at the same time.
Xiang Liangyu could hear their voices:
"Fuck, why am I making that kind of noise! It's so fucking disgusting!"
"You're the pretentious guy, right? Just wait for me."
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!”
"I'm going to kill him!"
This group of fixed NPCs, whose combined game time and age exceeded 500 years, let out their first inner roar of shame.
Huangfu Wang's expression broke for a moment, but after a moment, he just took off his glasses and blew a kiss to Xiang Liangyu: "Beautiful lady, you shouldn't be associated with embarrassment."
Just when Xiang Liangyu thought he was going to use some powerful trick again, he sighed, "I will take the responsibility of this embarrassing escape. I hope to meet you in a beautiful place next time."
Without hesitation, he turned and ran.
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
Neuropathy.
The monsters chased after him relentlessly, roaring in their hearts as if they wanted to break through the sky.
[Player Huangfu Wang has angered the guardian of the lake. Guardian's anger value: 100%]
Witnessing the whole process, Quan Shengyan, who felt inexplicably inferior , said: "..."
Jiang Cangshu looked at the wooden door that was shaking out of nowhere, her patience gradually running out. She asked Zhang Jue to step back, and she reached out to open the door, then walked out with a cold face and glanced outside.
Nothing.
She hated playing tricks the most, so she took out her mobile phone and threw it to Cui Daoping, in exchange for a magic hat thrown to her by him. Jiang Cangshu put on the magic hat and closed the door, and suddenly, there seemed to be resistance under her feet restricting her from walking, and under her feet was a dark red carpet.
From her perspective, she could clearly see the carpet wriggling. The thick pure wool carpet seemed to come alive, with the four corners slightly curled up and the hair on the carpet floating without wind.
Jiang Cangshu tentatively lifted his foot, but found that the moment he lifted his foot, sticky threads were pulled out from the blanket, and the sticky threads on the soles of his feet showed signs of climbing up to the uppers of his shoes.
Jiang Cangshu took off his magic hat, pinched the brim and pointed the hat towards the carpet, and slapped the top of the hat with his other hand. A scarred rabbit fell out of the hat and hit the carpet.
The moment the rabbit touched the carpet, it was entangled by the hairs floating on the carpet. After struggling for a few times, the rabbit completely collapsed on the carpet. Then, as the hairs increased, the rabbit gradually melted into the carpet. After a while, the living rabbit was gnawed by the carpet, leaving only a pile of red and white hair.
Jiang Cangshu immediately knocked on the door to look for someone.
When Zhang Jue opened the door, he saw Jiang Cangshu standing in front of the door. When he was wondering what was wrong with her, he saw her pointing at the ground.
When Zhang Jue looked down and saw what was under her feet, his mind went blank for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a square bottle from his arms and sprinkled it on the carpet.
Player information released:
【Name: Zhang Jue
Identity: Wolf Hunter
Health: 100%
Usable props: (B-level) Popping candy (a magical tool to stimulate taste buds)]
The popping candies he had scattered fell on the carpet, and the carpet began to twist rapidly. Jiang Cangshu took the opportunity to leave and thanked him: "Thank you."
But Zhang Jue's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had seen something horrible. Jiang Cangshu turned around to look.
They saw a figure running towards them, and behind him were a bunch of balls chasing after him.
Huangfu Wang's eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior. When he looked closely and found that it was a woman, he immediately restrained his expression that was out of control due to his hasty running. When passing Jiang Cangshu, Huangfu Wang paused for a second and blinked at her: "Good evening."
Jiang Cangshu: "..."
Zhang Jue: “…”
Xiang Liangyu who caught up: "..."
Neuropathy.
Xiang Liangyu landed above the house facing the player. In human form, she was even slimmer, and the night darkened the wings behind her. She was like a demon after nightfall, waiting to start her predation.
The night was dark. Xiang Liangyu clapped her hands, and the loud applause echoed in the circular village. She looked at the other players who broke out of the door and smiled.
Player system alert:
[Due to the player Huangfu Wang's operation, the anger value of the Guardian of Jianyue Lake exceeded 100%. The village chief was very angry when he knew about this. Now, all members of the Wolf Hunting Team started a chaotic battle. ]
The alarm ended, and in the blink of an eye, countless villagers suddenly appeared in the empty village. The streets were walking, the roofs were sitting, and even the players' rooms were full of villagers.
Wu Yun's face turned pale in the crowd: "It's over."
"Don't be impatient! Wait a minute! Wait a minute before starting again!" A loud call sounded at an inopportune time.
Zuo Lie waved his hands and shouted "wait a minute" while taking out his prop - a red scratch ticket.
He scraped the hidden part with his fingers and said to himself, "How can I save my life?"
The answer emerged from the scratch card - Spine Forest.
