Chapter 7 Third Floor
The time is almost up. I'm afraid it will be too late to find the sea snake cave.
Xiang Liangyu could only return to where he was.
When she was about to reach the place, a figure fell from the sky and landed heavily in front of her.
Xiang Liangyu looked carefully and found that this was the wool worm that she had woken up to kill Jiang Yu!
In a moment , Jiang Yu suddenly jumped down from the tree, carrying a full bundle of firewood on her back. Her cold face showed no fluctuation, and her almond-shaped eyes swept across Xiang Liangyu, who was soaked all over, without any surprise.
Jiang Yu nodded to Xiang Liangyu as a greeting, and then threw the firewood in front of her.
Xiang Liangyu looked away and pointed forward: "Please return to where you were and deliver the items."
Jiang Yu picked up the firewood and put it on his back, then walked back to where he was.
Xiang Liangyu looked at the velvet worm lying on the ground, which showed no response no matter how she touched it, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Brother Chong, you died miserably.
Xiang Liangyu shed tears silently, rubbed the soft head of the velvet worm, and decided in his heart to avenge Brother Chong.
After she returned to the original place, the players had already come over one after another with the collected dead branches.
Xiang Liangyu looked down at the watch face. There were still thirty seconds left before half an hour.
Time stops.
Xiang Liangyu: "Side quest (Aboriginal people's request), the timer ends at 29 minutes and 51 seconds. Players collected the following number of dead branches: Chu Li (51/20), Jiang Yu (20/20), Miao Zhen (32/20), Qu Liuyun (44/20), Duan Sen (21/20). The 'Pink World Destruction' team collected a total of 168 dead branches."
"Congratulations to the players for successfully completing the side quest (the natives' request). The natives were surprised by your speed and began to look forward to the warm nights. The natives' favorability (3/5). Please keep up the good work~"
Chu Li looked at Xiang Liangyu and suddenly asked, "You went swimming in broad daylight?"
Xiang Liangyu smiled awkwardly: "I accidentally fell."
She winked at the native.
The natives immediately understood: "Dear guests, thank you very much for your help. Please bring the spoils back to the guest house and give them to my child. He will give you a special gift."
"I am needed to patrol the forest. I am sorry that I cannot go with you. I wish you a safe journey."
He raised the corners of his mouth mysteriously and bowed very gentlemanly: "See you tonight."
Xiang Liangyu was secretly delighted.
Chu Li and others had no objection: "Although it's a pity, we will arrive safely. See you in the evening."
Everyone: "See you tonight."
Xiang Liangyu, as the mission NPC, walked calmly above the team and began to lead the way.
Chu Li looked at her wet back and suddenly asked a question: "Will your quest NPC not have only one life like other NPCs?"
Xiang Liangyu: "As a system, I can only be seen by players. At the same time, I will not interfere with or join your tasks, so if nothing unexpected happens, my life will not be in danger."
Chu Li nodded thoughtfully.
Xiang Liangyu didn't notice anything wrong with Chu Li. As she walked forward, her eyes were fixed on the treetops.
On the way here, she found a hornet's nest in a tree.
When he saw a golden circle, Xiang Liangyu curled his lips. Sure enough, that was a hornet's nest...
“Crash——”
The burning hornet's nest turned into a fireball and fell straight in front of Xiang Liangyu.
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
Qu Liuyun blew out the match in his hand and showed Xiang Liangyu a kind smile: "I'm sorry, I was stung by this thing when I was on a mission, so I'm a little scared when I see it. Let's take precautions first."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
After returning to the guest house, the aboriginal cub had been waiting for a long time. It carried all the dead wood by itself and showed its eight teeth to everyone: "Thank you, sisters and brothers. By the way, sister, my good friend found the person who killed my brother!"
Chu Li: "Really? Who is it?"
The cub put the dead wood into the house and said, "I don't know yet. My good friend said that he will bring her body here in the evening. Then I will invite my sister to see it together."
Chu Li clapped his hands happily: "Okay, okay, you must call me when the time comes."
After the cub carried the dead wood and went somewhere unknown, Chu Li turned around and said to Jiang Yu, "You sleep with me tonight."
Jiang Yu: “…Okay.”
Xiang Liangyu couldn't contain her smile at all. She looked at Chu Li's slightly panicked expression and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Chu Li looked at her: "What are you laughing at?"
Xiang Liangyu looked serious and decided to disgust her: "I want to sleep with you, too."
Chu Li: “…”
Qu Liuyun also imitated Xiang Liangyu: "I want to sleep with you too~"
Chu Li: "Get lost. Where are Miao Zhen and Duan Sen?"
Qu Liuyun: "Miao Zhen was bitten by a flying insect while on a mission, and Duan Sen is treating him."
Xiang Liangyu watched them leave, and just as she was about to go upstairs, her wrist was grabbed by something sticky.
When she looked back, the cub carrying firewood appeared from nowhere, holding her hand with a pitiful look on his face.
Cub: "Auntie, I'm afraid of fire... Can you help me light a fire?"
Xiang Liangyu immediately refused: "I am afraid of fire too."
Hate rude kids!
After saying that, she went upstairs without looking back.
The night came quickly and the guest house had become warm as early as lunch time. Xiang Liangyu was just about to get into the warm bed and have a good sleep when the next second he heard a strange creaking sound coming from the corridor.
It was like something bounced up and then fell down heavily. Xiang Liangyu knew that it was the dead indigenous people who came to look for the murderer, but she was curious about how he left. Thinking about it, she got out of bed and tried to open the door a little to look outside.
“Boom boom boom—”
Who's knocking at the door?
Chu Li and Jiang Yu had been waiting for a long time, but they did not rush to open the door when it rang.
The person outside the door knocked regularly every two seconds. There was no peephole on the wooden door, but the gap at the bottom was very large. Chu Li took a step back, half-knelt on the ground, and lowered his head to look outside the gap.
The gap in the door was very wide, so the face outside the door could be seen clearly. The dead indigenous people were lying on the ground, their faces tilted towards the gap, their eyes wide open, staring at every move inside the door.
Chu Li stood up immediately, but the moment he took a step, the native who was lying motionless outside the door, took advantage of his lying position, reached his hand quickly into the crack of the door, and accurately grabbed Chu Li's feet.
Jiang Yu took the kitchen knife that Qu Liuyun had stolen from the kitchen and chopped at its arms again and again. Finally, he chopped off the native's hands on the eighth strike.
Xiang Liangyu, who witnessed the whole process, said: "..."
“Brother—Brother—!!”
A sharp cry echoed through the corridor, and the door of the next room opened in an instant. A dark shadow flashed by and ran straight towards the screaming Aboriginal cub, and the crying stopped abruptly.
Qu Liuyun carried the cub and walked to the natives on the ground: "Your brother?"
He threw the cub through the door, bent down, grabbed the native, turned around and threw him out of the window.
Jiang Yu carried the unconscious cub, walked towards Xiang Liangyu's room and opened the door directly.
Jiang Yu: "Come here."
Xiang Liangyu's eyes were almost glued to the cub, and when he saw his soft, swaying body, the worst thoughts surfaced.
Jiang Yu: "It's not dead, it fainted from the shock. We want to send it back. You come with us."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
Xiang Liangyu followed behind them and walked with Miao Zhen.
As an independent wise man, he is obviously a teammate with high IQ in the team. What's the point of having such high IQ instead of exploring in the front and walking with her, an NPC?
Xiang Liangyu kept glancing at Miao Zhen along the way, and became more and more confused.
This group of people spent their points at the mall and bought invisibility agents that only lasted ten minutes, and the place they explored was this wooden corridor.
The second floor is used as the guest room of the guest house, and most of the clues have been found by them. Even if they want to send the indigenous cub back, they should go to the first floor.
But Xiang Liangyu would not remind him out loud, one of the rules of the guest house is not to go out at four o'clock in the morning.
It was already 1:30 in the morning, and if nothing unexpected happened, the indigenous people patrolling the wooden corridor would have already gone out.
Miao Zhen suddenly said, "Put the natives on the ground, and let's go back to the third floor."
The three people in front stopped, Jiang Yu gently placed the cub in his hand on the ground, and then turned around together.
Xiang Liangyu and Miao Zhen, who were originally at the end of the team, suddenly became the head of the team and walked quickly in the direction of travel.
There was no communication, only telepathic actions. Xiang Liangyu watched Miao Zhen skillfully push open the wooden door on the side of the wooden corridor and walked in first.
This door is probably in the center of . Opposite the door is a window without curtains, and the moon escapes from the siege of dark clouds.
Chu Li was the last one to enter. The sharp moonlight shone on her shoulders. She looked back at the moon and blinked unconsciously.
Xiang Liangyu looked at the wooden staircase leading to the darkness in front of him, and was surprised. No wonder when he first came here, he felt that the space inside the guest house was very different from the space seen from the outside. At that time, the staircase only led to the second floor. It turned out that there was a passage hidden in the guest room.
Chu Li: "How do you know this place?"
Miao Zhen took the lead and walked forward: "When Duan Sen treated me, he took me for a walk in the corridor twice. The interior of the guest house is too small, but when I looked at it from the outside, I felt that the guest house should not be so small."
"This means that there are other spaces in the Waiter's House that we haven't discovered yet. This space cannot be discovered by us."
Xiang Liangyu: [Congratulations to the player for unlocking the unknown space "The Third Floor of the Guest House", the player's island exploration degree (6/50)]
[Please note that this period of time is a time when the guest house has expressly prohibited you from going out. You may encounter patrolling natives. If you are discovered, you will be forced to start a chaotic battle. Do you want to insist on exploring? ]
The four of them turned around and looked at Chu Li.
Captain Chu Li's voice was filled with excitement: "Keep exploring."
