Chapter 317: Monster Nest Island

When leaving the underground altar, Xu Zhiyan almost walked in trembling steps, and the last suggestive words of the ghosts and gods seemed to still ring in his ears.

'Be back within 24 hours.'

...Does it really require offerings every day?

Thinking of last night, his face felt hot and even his ears turned red.

Xu Zhiyan shook his head, trying to put all these things behind him, but with every step he took, the stinging sensation from the friction between his skin and the fabric at the base of his thighs made him unavoidably think of them.

However, after glancing at the guild dialog box filled with Jiang Huaique's asterisked messages, his consciousness finally returned a lot.

He quickly replied to Jiang Huaique.

As expected, it received a series of hot national insults.

Quickening his pace and walking outside, Xu Zhiyan encountered a half-human-tall stone statue of a little devil at the end of the stone passage.

Seeing him passing by, the stone statue took out a round heart-protecting mirror and presented it to him with both hands.

It's a human skin Buddha.

Xu Zhiyan was covered with defensive props, but they were all taken away last night. Among them, the human-skin Buddha heart-protecting mirror was ruthlessly thrown out of the door by the ghosts and gods because it always gave off a feeling of being about to come out.

Nana took the mirror, and then Xu Zhiyan realized that not only was his body clean, but all the protective gear except the human skin Buddha had been hung back.

...It seems there are a few more.

After returning the things, the half-human-tall stone demon turned around and walked back to his own stone groove with a sigh.

It had no interest in the hateful love between the church owner and humans. God knows how much effort it took for it to defeat other competitors and grab the new trophy when the little mirror flew out yesterday.

As a result, the food had to be sent back before it was even warm enough.

Just as it was walking, it suddenly felt a weight on its head and was held down by the human behind it!

The little devil statue turned around and its expression suddenly became angry!

It will go outside to look for treasure soon!

The more it thought about it, the angrier it got, but due to the rules it couldn't speak in front of Xu Zhiyan. Its stone tail swayed from side to side, venting its inner dissatisfaction.

The inventory was given to the humans in front of them. It was their collection of decades!

Xu Zhiyan didn't expect that he had only stopped the little devil statue, but the other party became so violent and looked very aggressive.

But considering that this is already the territory of ghosts and gods, and the little thing in front of him had been ordered by Slice before, it is impossible for him to disobey the orders of ghosts and gods now, so he became more and more unscrupulous.

"Where are all your companions?"

He pointed to the empty stone groove next to him and asked.

It would have been better if I hadn't mentioned it. As soon as I asked this question, the little devil statue jumped up even more angrily like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

It pointed at the groove, then at itself, and finally its finger and tail pointed at Xu Zhiyan.

The little devil statue seemed to want to say something.

But this abstract action is difficult to understand.

Meeting the confused eyes of the human in front of it, it stomped its feet angrily, turned around and ran to a stone groove, and took out a simple iron box from it.

He came to the culprit holding the box.

The little devil statue made a triangle on the box with its palm, showing a satisfied expression, then loosened its hand and pointed at the human in front of it, indicating that the box was empty.

Xu Zhiyan squinted his eyes and watched the little thing perform in front of him, then nodded seriously.

"I see, you have a gift for me, right?"

The little devil statue was stunned.

???

It doesn't understand why there are such shameless people in this world.

On the other side, Xu Zhiyan showed a pitying expression and patted the stone statue's head with a gentle and soft tone, full of gratitude.

"I know there might have been a little accident and I lost all the gifts you gave me, but it's okay."

He squatted down until his eyes were level with the statue.

"As long as you do me a favor, I will give you some rewards."

As he spoke, he took out an old rusty bracelet inlaid with colored glass. It was from a box of miscellaneous tourist souvenirs he had opened on the road when he had just arrived.

Although not valuable, the box containing the souvenir was well preserved.

He's not stupid.

The gifts given by the priest were varied. He had found them strange before, but now that he had received the accusations and reproaches from the little monsters, how could he not understand... Well, speaking of it, the oppression of the surrounding monsters by slicing was really exactly the same as that of ghosts and gods.

But the thing is already in his pocket, he won’t spit it out even if it’s garbage!

Putting the rusty bracelet into the small box of the stone demon, Xu Zhiyan slowly said: "This is a deposit, I give it to you for free."

As he spoke, he took out another dozen business cards and put them into the box.

"Next, you go to the island and spread these business cards to the humans on the island, and I will give you more rewards."

Cen Jinyue was hunting players on the island. Although Xu Zhiyan didn't think he would be killed in one encounter, it was inevitable that he would run into her if he went out to search for clients for a long time.

He remembered that the ghosts and gods had said that these stone monsters would not die even if they were crushed into powder.

The familiar transaction requirements confused the little devil statue. It looked up at Xu Zhiyan, then looked down at its small box and nodded heavily.

So next its box can be filled again?

The small stone demon, whose intelligence was not very high, had not yet realized that the cunning humans in front of him were using the looted things as rewards.

It picked up the postcard, opened its mouth and swallowed it, then closed the broken box containing the bracelet, carefully put it back under the groove of the stone slab, and disappeared without a trace.

Xu Zhiyan's eyes became more and more gentle as he stared at the back of the little stone statue of the devil.

"Be sure to pack everything up and take it with you when you leave."

A monster that is obedient and will not die, and will actively collect things in the copy, isn't this definitely the chosen employee of the safe house?

Thinking of the gold, silver and treasures piled up in the warehouse, Xu Zhiyan felt that these little stone guys would definitely like the shiny salary and would not refuse his invitation.

Thinking he had solved an important problem, his steps became much lighter.

He walked out through the closet with ease.

Xu Zhiyan discovered that the outside world was indeed as the ghosts and gods had said. The restrictions on him disappeared, and the territories previously ceded by the priest were also returned.

He was still thinking about his teammates and didn't have time to think more.

“Squeak—”

The small door next to the church platform opened.

As soon as he came out, Xu Zhiyan was forced to face five pairs of eyes.

Jiang Huai Que sat on a bench with his legs crossed. On his left were two quail-like players, and in the open space on his right were two huge demon stone statues squatting.

The state of both sides seems a little wrong.

The church is almost a shell of what it was, filled with messy ruins.

Jiang Huaiqie's arm was wrapped in a cloth and he was injured; the two demons were even worse off. Although they were still in their original shape, black cracks could be seen on their bodies from any angle...

There were so many cracks that the demon statue completely turned from a whole piece into a patchwork of rubble.

For some reason, Xu Zhiyan always felt that the demon statue's eyes were more resentful than those of the three human players next to it.

He coughed lightly and walked forward.

"Jiang Jiang, how did you get hurt..." He asked this with a guilty conscience.

Seeing Jiang Huaique injured, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but frown. Damn it, didn't Bai Jin say that the stone demon would only block but not hurt people?

But he knew the answer immediately.

The player huddled beside Jiang Huai Que timidly raised his hand.

"Brother Jiang, this is all my fault..."

Geng Yu had a sad face and told Xu Zhiyan the whole story under his puzzled gaze.

It has to start from last night.

When Jiang Huaique saw the stone statues of the devil kissing, he thought he was being deceived and turned hostile on the spot.

But soon, he discovered that the two demon statues were just trying to stop him and did not attack him. Even when they were smashed, they refused to move away.

Jiang Huai Que took the fight seriously.

He used all his strength to fight the stone demon. After smashing it many times, he found that the other party was "giving in", which made him furious.

But no matter how he cursed, the demon statue would not fight back, although its expression would often be painful.

The feeling of being looked down upon is unpleasant.

Geng Yu and Yu Jiantong were watching from the sidelines with fear and trepidation, but gradually, they discovered that the two demon stone statues were very weak and could not hurt Jiang Huaique at all even if they attacked together.

This made the two of them active.

They couldn't defeat Jiang Huai Que, and the other party obviously had some contract with the owner of the church's monster nest.

Next, if they want to stay here until they can leave the copy, they will definitely ask each other for help. In order to make the survival plan succeed, the two of them hit it off and rushed up to help.

The demon statue was only ordered not to harm Jiang Huai Que, but it did not say that it could not kill others.

The addition of the two made the battlefield chaotic, especially when the demon statues found that when attacks fell on the two, Jiang Huai Partridge would go to help, and they would be less likely to be beaten...

The battle became more and more chaotic.

The two people who came to help were chased and beaten by the demon stone statue, and their heads were smashed by the rubble. Although Jiang Huaique wanted to leave these two idiots alone, he finally compromised in the face of their cries for help.

The commotion in the hall lasted as long as Xu Zhiyan slept.

Until he just woke up and sent a message to his teammates, asking if they were stopped by the demon statue, the other party was one of their own...

The melee finally ended.

The three human players were almost reaching their physical limits and were extremely tired. The demon statue was almost shattered into pieces.

At this time, the sun is rising outside the window.

Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair feeling a little embarrassed.

Xiao Cuigu, who went to fetch water, came back with a bucket filled with washed cloth strips. The three people in front of him looked miserable with tattered clothes, as if they had just crawled out of the ruins, which was in stark contrast to his current well-dressed appearance.

Geng Yu on the side shook his head and sighed.

"Oh, it's all because of these two demons. Brother Jiang asked them where they had been, and these two monsters actually started kissing each other..."

Xu Zhiyan’s whole body stiffened.

Jiang Huai rolled his eyes and interrupted the talkative player: "That's enough, we might as well clean up the lobby with this time."

Unlike Geng Yu, who is a rough and weak person.

His five senses were enhanced, and his eyesight was excellent, so he saw the kiss mark on Xu Zhiyan's neck at a glance.

...I didn't expect that she was really a mistress?

She couldn't tell anyone else about her complicated feelings. Thinking that Xu Zhiyan had a loving boyfriend, Jiang Huaique was almost worried to death.

#What to do if your teammate is a sea king? #

#It's urgent, waiting online. #

After forcibly sending away the two people who were holding back, Jiang Huaique took out a package of herbal medicine from his bag, slapped it into Xu Zhiyan's arms, and reminded him earnestly.

"It seems there are a lot of bugs in this church, so be careful."

"Eh? Bugs... um..."

Xu Zhiyan reacted immediately, pursed his lips and touched the kiss mark on his neck.

He had emphasized not to kiss upwards, but Bai Jin even left marks on his neck before he left. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.

When Jiang Huaiqie saw the expressions of his teammates, his heart skipped a beat.

Damn, it looks real...

He glanced at Geng Yu and Yu Jiantong who were hiding far away with a bit of irritability, and asked patiently in a low voice.

"What's the matter with your...concubine?"

Xu Zhiyan was silent for a moment and prepared to answer honestly.

Considering that the entire church monster nest had been taken back by the ghosts and gods, he would probably have to go to the other party every day to pay tribute. He didn't intend to hide too much from Jiang Huaique, because he couldn't hide it.

"He is the owner of the strange nest in the church."

"Something just went wrong. Although we can still stay here, I have to go to it once a day."

After explaining the ownership of the church to his teammates, Xu Zhiyan began to take things out.

“These are all sponsored by it.”

Jiang Huaique looked at the various daily necessities gradually piling up in front of him, and his expression changed from complicated to solemn.

He looked at Xu Zhiyan in shock, speechless.

Damn, his teammate is not going to find a mistress, he is clearly going to purchase goods, right?

On the other side, Xu Zhiyan looked at the supplies and sighed deeply.

The strange desire to win always appears at the wrong time.

Anyway, there were no ghosts or gods around, so he was quite relaxed when he was talking nonsense, completely forgetting about how he begged for mercy last night. He pretended to be a veteran in the love field and started complaining, as if he was trying to get back on track.

"Everything is good, except that life is not good."

It has been too long and his legs are almost worn out!

"Ah... live? Not live well?"

Jiang Huai's eyes almost popped out.

The demon statue squatting next to them suddenly froze. They looked at each other, not knowing how to tell each other that the superior demons could obtain all the information about demons.

But thinking of that powerful existence, the demon statue felt a little excited after hearing some gossip, and its ears stood up high.

The underground altar has completely changed.

After sending Xu Zhiyan away, the ghosts and gods began to process the memories and sort out the usable powers at the same time.

It must not be discovered by the system, but it cannot be too weak.

When he saw Xu Zhiyan using the old bracelet to coax the little devil statue, he couldn't help but laugh. He felt that he liked everything the other party did.

But it wasn't long before the ghosts and gods heard new comments.

"Well, life is not good?"

He raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes, his tone unpredictable.
