Chapter 40 Blood and Roses (VI)
Zuo Lie was disheartened.
Isn't this just sending them out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den, maybe into both dens at the same time?
Jiang Cangshu glanced at the scratch card in his hand and asked, "Can you trust this?"
Zuo Lie: “It’s believable, but…”
Jiang Cangshu asked Cui Daoping to give him his mobile phone back: "If you can trust it, go ahead."
[The player's health has returned to zero, and he has died. ]
[Player Mary's health has returned to zero, she is dead. ]
The shrill announcement echoed, and in an instant, the players gathered together and took out their props to start their escape journey.
Xiang Liangyu on the roof listened to the announcement without taking any action:
[Congratulations to the Forest Guardian for killing the Wolf Hunters (4/5), and has randomly looted player items. ]
[Mary's props have been upgraded: Water Gun (A-level).]
[Use: The water gun that can only fire a weak stream of water has been upgraded and revised. NPCs can put any liquid in the container, and it has a tracking effect. Note that this item is not permanent. ]
Xiang Liangyu looked at the water gun that appeared out of thin air in his hand. The heavy metal gun body carried a weight that could not be ignored, and the container was made of a small tube of white unknown glass.
What can you do with such a small capacity?
[Congratulations to the NPC for completing half of the task. Now the advanced task is triggered. Kill the Wolf Hunting Team (4/10). This task is the same as the village chief, and the number of kills is not counted. ]
She held the water gun and looked down at the players running in the village. They had all used props, some strange and some practical, which actually put the villagers at a disadvantage.
Xiang Liangyu asked: "System, players have a mall, but NPCs don't?"
System answer: [Level not reached yet. ]
Xiang Liangyu put away his water gun, spread his wings and turned into a huge bird, gliding and flying along the ground.
She was huge, so naturally she would accidentally hurt her colleagues when attacking the players, but she had no time to care because she was starving to death.
Lu Jifeng originally wanted to go with Xiang Liangyu, but was blocked by the two of them.
He narrowed his eyes, took out the claw knife and held it in his palm.
Xiang Liangyu's original target was Huangfu Wang, but his props were too daunting for her. She was not willing to look stupid while holding a bottle in front of so many colleagues.
Her empty stomach growled, and she irritably picked a random player and rushed towards him.
Zhang Jue ran wildly holding his head, with a few players behind him. In front of him, Cui Daoping and Huangfu Wang led the way, so he walked smoothly.
Doctor Wu Yun sat on a broom and treated the two people in the air . Cui Daoping knew that his magic hat could not summon any ferocious animals, but the number of animals was enough to trip up the villagers and monsters.
There is no need to say anything about King Huangfu. The monsters' target is him. The effect of the milk bottle will have a cooling effect on the same creature with a soul, so that his props can only be used on villagers. At the same time, it will also make the monsters' anger value higher.
[Player Jiang Cangshu's health value has been reduced, and player Jiang Mingxian's health value has been reduced. ]
“Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy!” In the chaos, Zuo Lie ran away with his head in his hands. When he saw Xiang Liangyu in the sky, he shouted and pounced on Cui Daoping’s back, “Brother! That bird is coming again!”
Cui Daoping naturally felt it as well. He knew from the beginning that the bird would eat everything. The animals summoned by his magic hat were completely lethal to her and were not even enough to fill her teeth. Facing her, the only way was to run.
Wu Yun was a little anxious as he rode on his broom: "My broom can still carry two more people, come on up."
Zuo Lie hesitated when he heard this, and then he loosened his grip and jumped off Cui Daoping: "Forget it, you two should be more comfortable in the air than on the ground."
Cui Daoping and Huangfu Wang looked at each other, and got on the brooms one after the other, but when they were using the props, they heard a scream.
Xiang Liangyu grabbed the player Zhang Jue, raised her neck and swallowed him, but the moment her neck was raised, countless villagers rushed towards her.
Jiang Cangshu half-knelt on the ground, blood flowing from her eyes unstoppably. She gritted her teeth and said to the mobile phone: "I am Jiang Cangshu, your partner. Now, go attack the man-eating bird in the street!"
[Congratulations to the Forest Guardian for killing the Wolf Hunters (5/10). Player items have been randomly looted. ]
[Zhang Jue's item has been upgraded: (A-level) Bouncing Bomb. ]
[Use: The edible popping candy with an incomparable taste has been upgraded! Let's have a firework display that can only bloom on the ground. Note that this prop is not permanent. ]
Xiang Liangyu looked at the hypnotized person and felt confused. Jiang Cangshu's tool should only be able to hypnotize one person, so how come the range is so wide?
But before she could think, the villagers had already climbed onto her wings. Some of them were so strong that they plucked out several of her feathers. Xiang Liangyu, who spent more time taking care of her feathers than eating, said: "..."
She immediately transformed into a human form, flew into the air and found an empty rooftop. The villagers were distracted and were climbing up the rooftops. She took the prop, an ordinary square bottle, and opened it to find popping candy.
She picked up a handful and threw it in the direction of the player.
The tiny popping candy left her hand and dissolved into the darkness, making it impossible to track. The players on the ground were still waiting for her and the villagers to kill each other, not knowing that they would be caught in an endless explosion in the next second.
“Bang—bang—”
Flames appeared everywhere, one explosion after another, exploding and splattering like fireworks in parts of the street.
Xiang Liangyu: “!”
She completely underestimated the power of the bomb. There were no more than ten of them in total, but when she dropped them, they almost blew up the entire village.
When the smoke cleared, most of the houses collapsed, and the ground was sunken with several large holes. Countless villagers were killed or injured, but the player's figure disappeared inexplicably.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Xiang Liangyu knew that he had caused trouble, so he quickly put away the bomb, folded his wings, jumped to the ground and apologized profusely.
"You, you," Lu Jifeng's voice came faintly. He was pinned to the ground by the collapsed house and could not move. He pointed at Xiang Liangyu and said, "What is your purpose!"
Xiang Liangyu was horrified, and quickly lifted up the entire collapsed house, and picked up Lu Jifeng with one hand: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake, I'm sorry, sorry."
Lu Jifeng was lifted up by her, his collar got stuck on his neck and his face turned red.
Xiang Liangyu looked back and turned pale with fear, and quickly put him down. Lu Jifeng put all his weight on her: "He wasn't killed by those players, but you almost killed him. That Jiang Cangshu, the item has been updated."
Xiang Liangyu helped her steady herself, and understood something in his mind. No wonder the range of her hypnosis had become larger.
Lu Jifeng glanced behind her and smiled gloatingly: "Village Chief, she wants to rebel."
village……!
Xiang Liangyu shuddered all over, turned around with an awkward smile, and saw Quan Shengyan with an expressionless face: "Ah, if I say I didn't mean it, will you forgive me?"
Quan Shengyan turned his gaze away and looked at Lu Jifeng: "You two, put them in solitary confinement together."
Lu Jifeng's smile froze: "Why should I be put in solitary confinement?"
Quan Shengyan didn't reply. After looking at Xiang Liangyu, he went to help other NPCs recover.
Xiang Liangyu put away his smile, turned his head and looked in the direction of the spine forest, crossed his arms, and said with a serious expression: "I found a big problem."
Lu Jifeng brushed off the dust on himself and said, "You are really in big trouble. Don't let me help you in the confinement room."
Xiang Liangyu shook his head: "Don't you think it's weird?"
"You're acting weird right now."
Xiang Liangyu said seriously, "Logically speaking, there should only be ten players in Wutou Village."
Lu Jifeng paused: "What do you mean?"
Xiang Liangyu raised his chin towards the spine forest and said, "I ate one at the beginning, and I ate one from the spine forest, so there are eight left."
"There are six people in the team, and there are two left."
"The two have been found and killed by patrolling villagers."
Lu Jifeng looked at Xiang Liangyu, and followed her to look at the spine forest.
Xiang Liangyu turned around and looked at Lu Jifeng and asked, "Where did that idiot guy with the milk bottle come from?"
Lu Jifeng: "If that's the case, there's another trouble coming."
"What?"
Lu Jifeng pointed at the lake at the end of the village and said, "The lake is not full, and the things below seem to be angry."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
When trouble comes, I get hungry.
Spine Forest
[The chaotic battle is over, congratulations to everyone who survived. 】
A group of people panted and collapsed to the ground as soon as they entered the forest path.
Wu Yun put away the broom, gathered some players with low health points together, took out a syringe and began to treat them all.
The player who was most seriously injured was Jiang Cangshu. Not only was her body covered with knife marks, but one of her eyes was stabbed. In the end, Wu Yun transferred a small part of his own health to her, and only then was he able to barely save her eye.
Wu Yun put on an eye patch for her to continue healing, and told her earnestly: "Don't take it off by yourself. I will remember the time."
Jiang Cangshu blinked uncomfortably. She suppressed her urge to take off the blindfold and nodded with all her strength: "I understand. Thank you."
After watching Wu Yun walk away, she glanced at Jiang Mingxian who was sleeping beside her.
He was injured no less than I was, his whole body sunk into the grass, with protruding tree roots crisscrossing his body. It must have been uncomfortable.
She sighed, turned her head and looked at King Huangfu who was standing in front of a tree not far away, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
The man stood straight with his back to everyone, his head tilted from time to time for observation. His blue suit was already dirty in the chaos, but his tough appearance made him not look too embarrassed. On the contrary, the damage made his unruly look disappear, and he looked more tough and forbearing.
After Prince Huangfu noticed the gaze, he turned around, reached out to push up his glasses, and his eyes accurately shot at Jiang Cangshu through the lenses.
Jiang Cangshu frowned at the complex emotions in his eyes. He only heard King Huangfu straighten his sleeves, walked up to Jiang Cangshu, and bowed to her: "Beautiful lady, do you have a boyfriend?"
Jiang Cangshu: "..."
It's all an illusion.
[All players have triggered the team mission [A Cry for Help in the Spine Forest]. Every night, villagers can always hear a faint cry for help.]
[This is a magical road. During the day, it is full of greenery and fragrance, and walking on it is like being in a dream. At night, the vines of the side branches entwine above your head, like a gradually shrinking esophagus, gradually tempting you to go deeper.]
[Team mission has been released: Find the truth behind the call for help from Spine Forest, progress (0/10).]
Everyone stopped and turned to look deep into the spine forest.
The night was over and the sky was turning pale. In this forest path that blocked out the sun, if it weren't for the white rays of sunlight peeking through the gaps between the branches and leaves, one would have thought that the night would continue forever.
Prince Huangfu looked up at the tangled vines above his head and regained his normal tone after a long absence: "It smells weird. It's really bad."
They had just escaped, and before they had a chance to catch their breath, tasks came one after another. No one moved, and they just wanted to greedily rest for a while longer.
Zuo Lie was so nervous that he could not bear the fear. He took out the scratch card again and slowly scratched the hidden answer with his fingernails. He closed his eyes and silently said in his heart: "Can I escape safely?"
The scratch card was smoothed out. Zuo Lie took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and after seeing the hidden answer, his eyes widened.
Scrape off the screen ink that covers the answer, and the answer that appears in front of you is blank.
There is no answer, life or death is unknown, where can I find survival?
