Chapter 310: Monster Nest Island

The bed was not soft, as it was a little damp.

Xu Zhiyan sat on the bed, holding a pillow in his arms, with a dull expression.

He didn't quite understand why Pianpi was so open-hearted to him when he had only known her for less than half a day. Was it because of the influence of ghosts and gods?

After giving the message, the priest left.

Xu Zhiyan scratched his neck and thought for a long time. Finally, he fell onto the bed helplessly, holding the horn-like prop on his chest, and turned his back to face the wall.

Once a person is entangled, he can never change his bad habit of touching things.

In a short while, the white wall in front of him was poked with seven or eight holes by the corners.

When Xu Zhiyan remembered that Party A was still inside and seemed to be able to talk to him, the hand holding the horn paused and immediately withdrew the strength.

"cough……"

He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

Fortunately, the ghost did not mind that his temporarily stored props were used as decompression tools. There was a lot of white powder on the horns, and no words were shown.

"Alas, love-brain makes it hard to start."

"It might as well come and beat me up..."

Muttering to himself, Xu Zhiyan subconsciously complained to the ghosts and gods.

A line of words appeared on the corner.

[It is its honor to be able to help you.]

Apparently, ghosts and gods are very particular about self-slicing.

But it must be said that after the slicing provided help to Xu Zhiyan, he also felt much better about the slicing this time.

[Don’t worry, just follow your heart.]

Seeing Xu Zhiyan's dilemma, the ghost's words were no longer full of resentment like before. He was even willing to let his own power stay independent outside for a while this time.

After understanding the meaning of the ghost myth, Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief.

If you don't want to poke, don't poke.

Holding the horns rolled into a shrimp, he thought for a moment, fumbled to take out his mobile phone from his bag, and opened his live broadcast room.

Different from before.

The priest this time is not very strong.

This small bedroom is suspected to be deep inside the church, but it is still broadcast live to the public.

You should know that in the past, the slicers' nests were basically out of contact and the specific images would not be made public.

[What the hell? So what kind of curse did Xiao Baiwan cast on the priest just now? Why did he get a piece of land? ]

[Oh my god, can anyone really sleep on a soft bed in a survival dungeon? I don't believe it, this live broadcast must be a lie! ]

[Canned luncheon meat! I want to eat it too! Damn, I'm hungry. Let's order takeout. ]

「That ▇▇▇, and ▇▇……ah……」

There was an exclamation in the live broadcast room.

There are also blocked words interspersed in between.

Xu Zhiyan had long given up on getting information from the live broadcast room, but he didn't think too much about it. He took a quick glance and put his phone away, then took out something that looked like a button and threw it beside him.

There were faint ripples in the air.

He blocked all external voices in this area.

Without any further ado, Xu Zhiyan held the horn and began to mutter to himself.

"Bai Jin, I think it's necessary to confirm the process with you. Are you sure you don't need me to stab the priest?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no writing on the horn, Xu Zhiyan realized belatedly that there seemed to be a gap in the content of the conversation between him and the ghost...

Fortunately, he now has plenty of time.

According to Jiang Huaique's information, the other party is already rushing here, so there should still be time before the gathering.

[Um]

It was probably two long sentences sent out in succession, and the third sentence was very short.

It is easy to guess what He is thinking.

The priest seems dangerous, but he actually cares very much about Xu Zhiyan.

Since he can provide enough help to his loved one and won't do anything out of line, then in a sense, he may be more... ahem... than a horn.

He really wanted to get out of this narrow container, but compared to anything else, Xu Zhiyan's safety was what He cared about most.

[You are the most important]

These four words appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

Xu Zhiyan touched the horns that had suddenly become cold and dull, and his cheeks felt a little hot.

If the ghosts and gods insisted on him stabbing the priest, he could still retort, but these two were so magnanimous and frank, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Damn, this is clearly a matter between two people.

Why does it act like he is the heartless scumbag!

This was the first time that Xu Zhiyan encountered a situation that made him waver. After thinking for a moment, he decided to conserve his energy first.

In this survival copy, you cannot use supplies, and you can only endure if you are injured. It is a great test for the player's physical and mental strength, and people may die if they are not careful.

"I don't want to think about it anymore!"

After coming to his senses, Xu Zhiyan yawned while hugging his pillow.

He simply sent a message to his teammates, briefly explaining the situation in the church, and then lay on his small but peaceful bed with his eyes closed to rest.

I have to go out at night to kill monsters and gain points.

He did not forget the final mission of this dungeon.

Perhaps it was because he felt extra safe with ghosts and gods around, or perhaps it was because this was Slice's territory, Xu Zhiyan fell into a deep sleep within a few minutes.

Time slips away quietly.

By the time the sleeping young man was awakened, the sun was about to set.

It was Xiao Ke Gu who woke Xu Zhiyan up.

“Ka-ka—”

It first lifted up the simply processed rabbit skin blanket and showed it off, then spread out the paper and pen it found in the abandoned house.

[Brother Xu, everything is sorted out!]

It re-enabled the conversation feature.

When Xu Zhiyan arrived at the abandoned village with a confused look on his face, he found that it had changed from its previous decadent and messy appearance to a clean and spacious one.

In one afternoon, Xiao Cuigu sorted out all the wooden boards and sundries.

The planks were piled up together to form a small hill.

The remaining debris is divided into usable and unusable.

Iron pot, washbasin, small sofa...

Porcelain plate fork grill...

Xu Zhiyan was stunned. Xiao Kui Gu also took the initiative to offer some well-preserved cloth, scissors and needles.

[When Mr. Jiang comes, I can make new clothes for you! ]

Little Gritty wrote in the notebook.

As an all-round assistant who has accompanied Xu Zhiyan on many missions, Xiaocuigu is no longer the timid undead creature it used to be. Now it has grown into the second Snail Butler who can stand on his own!

“…No need to pour it.”

Although the survival copy requires some supplies, it seems that it can be lived in for two or three months. Isn’t it a bit too exaggerated?

Xu Zhiyan stuttered before realizing why Jiang Huaique hadn't arrived yet.

He opened the guild dialog box and saw the messages from his teammates.

[Jiang Huai Que: It's safe there, right? I'll go there later.]

Look at the time, it was sent two hours ago.

Just when Xu Zhiyan was hesitating whether to send a message to Jiang Huaique, he heard a rustling sound coming from the surrounding bushes.

The next second, a huge boar-like animal was thrown out.

“Boom—”

The wild boar looked to weigh about four or five hundred pounds. Its head was missing, and there were some sharp thorns on its back. When it fell to the ground, it stirred up dust around it.

Immediately afterwards, a man covered in blood and holding a sickle walked out.

It's the Jianghuai partridge.

Just as Xu Zhiyan was about to speak, he saw a rope pulled from behind Jiang Huaique, with a few duck-like creatures tied to it.

"Grass? So much?"

Xu Zhiyan was confused.

With the priest as a foundation and the magic hat that could produce infinite rabbits, Xu Zhiyan never thought that he would starve to death, and never considered going out hunting.

Jiang Huaique walked forward, handed the string of ducks in his hand to his teammate, and spoke with an indifferent look on his face.

"Well, blood is from wild animals."

"My plans have changed. I plan to stay here until the New Year. I can't eat rabbit all the time."

What he said was very certain, his thoughts were inexplicably synchronized with Xiaokuigu's, and he looked like he was going to stay there permanently.

The corner of Xu Zhiyan's mouth twitched, and he held the duck rope, not knowing whether to throw it or not.

He couldn't help but ask back.

"New Year's Day? Did you eat some wild mushrooms on the road and have hallucinations?"

If Xiaokuigu is doing logistics because he has been trained, then it must be a problem for a violent output player like Jianghuai Que to start catching wild boars and ducks.

Xu Zhiyan frowned and spoke with doubt.

"You didn't get into any kind of relationship trouble outside, did you? For example, you had sex with some non-human monsters--uh--"

The nonsense guess was too unreliable. Before he could finish his words, his teammate covered his mouth with a dark face. A smell of blood rushed straight to his head, and Xu Zhiyan felt like he was about to suffocate.

"Do you think it's so easy to find monsters that can provide help in the dungeon?" Jiang Huaique snorted coldly and withdrew his hand.

Ignoring his unlucky teammate, he turned to say hello to Xiao Ke Gu who was setting up the barbecue grill nearby, rolled up his sleeves, and walked over carrying the wild boar.

I only ate a few fruits in the afternoon and now I'm starving.

Xu Zhiyan kept wiping his mouth and spitting for a long time before he got rid of the smell of wild boar blood.

"Jiang Huai, your brain——"

He stopped abruptly in the middle of his curse.

When he was freed from suffocation, he saw Jiang Huaique taking out a simple gray cloth bag from his waist and taking out a lot of spice plants and even two apples...

"You have a really good brain. You can even find this!" Xu Zhiyan changed the subject and finished the rest of the words.

He saw star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon and grass fruit...

Isn't it appropriate to stew something delicious?

Jiang Huaique snorted coldly, picked up the apples from the ground, and threw both of them over: "This is Dou Hongshan's thank-you gift."

After saying that, he began to process the ingredients with Xiaokuigu.

When Xu Zhiyan heard this, he immediately understood the origin of the rare plants.

Next to the spices, there were some other plants he didn't recognize, which were stored separately by Jiang Huai Que. They were probably some medicinal plants for stopping bleeding and relieving pain. After all, there was no supply copy this time.

Seeing that Jiang Huaique didn't elaborate, Xu Zhiyan didn't ask any more questions. He trusted his teammates' judgment and would tell them if there was anything they needed him to know.

A grill and a saucepan.

Roasted rabbit and stewed meat soup give off different aromas.

With smoke rising and the rays of setting sun shining down, it feels a bit like camping on an island.

Xu Zhiyan felt much more at ease. He wiped the apple on his clothes, took a big bite, and the sweet juice burst on the tip of his tongue. It was worthy of being a special fruit for players. It was incredibly sweet.

Soon the apple was eaten.

He looked down at the other bright red fruit in his hand, licked his lips, but ultimately did not take a bite. Instead, he walked towards the church with the apple in his pocket.

Candles were already lit in the hall.

I didn't find the priest in the hall, and I walked around my area twice holding the apple, but I didn't see any slices.

Xu Zhiyan frowned and looked around.

This slice is good in every way except that it is elusive.

Unable to find anyone, he had to stop in front of the platform in the hall and carefully push the apple through the transparent barrier.

The priest gave him two cans of luncheon meat, so he had to give something in return.

But doing good deeds without leaving a name is not Xu Zhiyan's style. He turned his head and stared at the two seated demon sculptures, and spoke sincerely.

"This is a gift for the priest. If you meet him, remember to pass it on to him for me."

As for whether the sculpture can speak? That is not the question.

However, Xu Zhiyan, who was leaving the church, did not see that the moment he walked out the door, the candles in the church went out and the entire church fell into darkness.

The demon sculpture no longer looked like it was sitting upright just now. As if stimulated by something, it curled up on both sides and looked very scared.

The hall was quiet.

The next moment, a huge, feathered hand emerged from the shadows and took the apple away.

"boom--"

The candles were relit.

There was no shadow of the apple on the platform, nor was there any strange giant hand. If it were not for the demon sculptures on both sides still maintaining fearful postures, it seemed as if nothing had happened here.

Outside the church, the food was almost ready.

Xu Zhiyan didn't have any talent for cooking, so he could only cause trouble by standing by.

He poked the barbecue with a knife from time to time, and when being rejected, he went to study the soup pot hanging over the fire. This behavior was so abominable that Jiang Huaique could not bear it anymore and drove him to wash his hands and face.

When the people came back, the meat was already roasted.

Jiang Huai Que used a small dagger to cut the orange-yellow lemon, squeezed the juice onto the barbecued meat that exuded an enticing aroma, and said unhappily to his unlucky teammate.

"Eat. I'll tell you something after you finish eating."

He wanted to talk about the Moon Goddess several times.

But seeing that his teammates were in a good mood, he couldn't bear to disturb them, so he finally decided to wait until Xu Zhiyan had a happy dinner.

Whether it was Cen Jinyue who started the slaughter mode, or the many props he used... Jiang Huaique felt a little guilty when he thought about the price of the arrows he got from Xiao C later.

He was not sure whether the former would make Xu Zhiyan troubled, but the latter would definitely make Xu Zhiyan collapse.

He sighed, scooped another bowl of soup and stuffed it into his teammate's hand, still replaying the price list that Xiao C had read out in his mind.

'Hidden Mist Arrow 30,000 each'

"Capture Arrow with Escape Pod 7W..."

Damn, how can there be such an expensive weapon in the world! Dou Hongshan only transferred 100,000 points and didn't even make back his original investment.

Xu Zhiyan was still immersed in the happy BBQ atmosphere, not knowing that he would lose money on the first order. He didn't hesitate to take the barbecue, took a big bite, and sipped the broth. He felt relaxed all over.

“Good times!”

Praising him vaguely, he once again thought that choosing Jiang Huaique as a teammate was a very correct decision!

After eating two rabbits and a large bowl of stewed meat in one go, Xu Zhiyan touched his belly and felt full.

Because there was enough food, the two did not care about their extremely hungry state. However, Jiang Huaique was different from Xu Zhiyan. He was hungry the whole afternoon and was not full even after eating six rabbits.

Seeing Xiao Ke Gu take two more rabbits off the grill, Xu Zhiyan took one, stood up and walked towards the church.

"Where are you going?"

Jiang Huai asked doubtfully.

Xu Zhiyan didn't even turn his head.

"Going to bring food to my new lover."

Anyway, there is no limit to the amount of rabbits, so it’s perfect to use them to slice them.

After saying that, he ran away, leaving Jiang Huaique holding the food with a confused look on his face.

Mistress...mistress?
