Chapter 319: Monster Nest Island

The sudden increase in scores made Xu Zhiyan nervous and surprised.

But after confirming that it was not Jiang Huaique's doing, he raised his eyebrows and realized that things did not seem to be simple.

[Number of monsters killed: 5]

[Score: 136 points]

Less than half an hour had passed since he discovered the abnormality in the scores, and more than a hundred monster points had already been recorded.

The strange nest islands are distinguished by temperature.

Monsters in the hot zone are small and less aggressive, and killing one can only get 1-3 points. Previously, Jiang Huai Que got one point for killing a monster in the hot zone, but since last night, the island has entered a cold zone state. The monsters will be relatively larger and more aggressive, and you can get 30-100 points after killing them.

Looking at the scores on the scoreboard, an unknown entity has helped them kill four monsters.

Xu Zhiyan’s first reaction was that it was a ghost.

After all, the other party can enter the dungeon this time and can also suppress the demon statue.

But considering that the other party had just taken over the body and had to deal with the main system's detection, he felt that it was unlikely to be...

"Could it be Xu Xiaohua?"

Jiang Huaique, who was thinking aside, had a thoughtful look on his face.

He remembered that although the little monster did not show any power, since it was worth 10 million, it was probably not a good person.

Xu Zhiyan shook his head without even thinking about it.

"impossible."

Most of the props in the game do not have any protection mechanism, and whoever gets them owns them. Obviously, the box containing Xu Xiaohua is not within the range of special high-level props.

"Xu Xiaohua is worth millions of points. How could these two people give up?" He waved his hand and said.

People bring themselves in at certain times.

In Xu Zhiyan's eyes, no one can give up so many points!

Even if Xu Xiaohua was a big eater, that would be impossible, so he had to go and pick up the two thieves to the church monster's nest in person.

Jiang Huaique sneered when he heard this.

"Do you think everyone values money over life like you do?"

The environment outside is rather harsh. If they find that they cannot afford to feed Xu Xiaohua, then abandoning it is the best option. Moreover, Tang Run and Mu Feng are experienced thieves, and they have plenty of ways to change the ownership of the props assigned to them.

Xu Zhiyan listened with a frown.

He felt that what his teammates said made sense, but he still didn't think anyone would voluntarily give up millions of points.

Until he was about to leave, he still spoke seriously with his neck stiff.

"That's millions of points, not tens of thousands. I think they will come up with a solution even if they rack their brains!"

No, he still couldn't understand why someone would give up millions of points!

In the live broadcast room, the audience who saw the whole incident shook their heads as they listened.

[Xiao Baiwan is judging others by his own standards. ]

[It’s actually easy to understand. For example, if you are given a hundred kilograms of stone, you can’t carry it. But if you are given a hundred kilograms of gold, not only can you carry it, you can even run with it.]

【Grass...thank you big brother above, you brought it in right away! 】

[I am dying of laughter, hahahahahaha, Tang Run and Mu Feng are also forced into no choice. ]

[Yes, it was mainly because the child kept crying out for hunger and often attracted monsters. Plus, it was very hard to hold on because of the cold.]

[??? You call this three-meter-tall monster a kid?]

[Not only has it turned into a monster, but it also seems to be continuing to mutate...]

Perhaps Xu Xiaohua's abnormal state was too severe, causing the live broadcast room to become a mess, and someone posted new pictures.

In the screenshot, the face of the three-meter-tall black monster cannot be seen. Its entire body is covered with a hard black shell, and it does not even have facial features. There is only a crack in the middle of its head, revealing several rows of fangs covered with flesh.

Originally it was a humanoid monster that used both hands and feet.

But after eating some monsters, its body changed significantly, its shape became weird, and it grew more limbs...

It continues to evolve.

Its mutation is far from stopping.

[Oh my god! I finally know why it is worth 10 million! ]

[Fuck!!! Awesome Klas! ]

[In other words, can this little monster continue to evolve? ]

[…Actually, every time I see this kind of monster, I feel like humans might really be eliminated or2]

Inside the Yunshan old house.

Because part of the ghosts' consciousness was brought into the copy, the remaining part no longer sat in the hall every day watching the live broadcast and releasing low pressure to scare the monsters as before.

He disappeared into the void.

The empty hall became a paradise for monsters.

Qu Ji specially found a super large projection screen and turned on two screens. One of them always played Xu Zhiyan's picture, and the other one kept switching between Tang Run and Mu Feng.

Xu Xiaohua's evolution was unexpected, but upon closer thought it seemed very reasonable.

"Xiaohua didn't eat much after coming out of the cocoon. I thought there was something wrong with its evolutionary direction!" Qu Ji patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, in order to hatch Xu Xiaohua from the cocoon, the monsters in the safe house took turns to help. Later, when the child stopped eating, everyone was worried. Now seeing Xu Xiaohua crying for hunger, the monsters smiled like satisfied old fathers.

They were very excited and started discussing it at once.

"Second evolution! I think it's up to me!"

This is Honghong after turning blue. It has been changing its color into a secondary evolution.

Liu Liu's face turned pale as he stammered, "Get lost... you, you can just leave it alone... just go ahead! Follow, follow me! I have long arms, so it must be me!"

The other monsters couldn't help but retort.

"It has legs, not hands, it's none of your business!"

"Like me, like me! I have many legs..."

"? Is that your leg? That's clearly a bone spur!"

"It has black skin, I have white skin... It must be my ancestry..."

The result of the second evolution has not come out yet, and everyone is rushing to be Xu Xiaohua's godfather. After all, in a sense, Xu Xiaohua was really "born" by them.

The safe house was filled with joy, which formed a sharp contrast with Mu Feng's frightened expression on the screen.

It had only been a short while since he was discovered by Xu Xiaohua, and Mu Feng had already thrown most of the attack props in his hands. However, the hard shell on the black monster's skin seemed to be some special defense mechanism. Except for an A-level prop that exploded and affected it for a few seconds, causing a crack, there was no reaction to the rest.

After putting some distance between them, Mu Feng wanted to take out some more props, but was stopped by Tang Run beside him.

"Forget it, wait for death."

The short and thin man's voice was filled with a calmness that came from seeing through the mundane world: "We have done many evil things, and this is what we deserve."

Nearly twenty-four hours without rest, coupled with high-intensity hunting, had already stretched his body to its limit. Moreover, when he was chased to this area just now, he discovered something was not good.

Mu Feng was stunned. He didn't expect that his usually taciturn teammate would suddenly do this.

"How did you——"

The questioning stopped abruptly.

She sniffed and her expression became much more serious in the blink of an eye.

The cold wind blew, and the smell inside conveyed some information to her that was difficult for others to detect.

It was different from the time we were running away just now.

The air around was filled with the smell of blood and decay, and there was also a hint of gunpowder, which was left behind by the explosion of hot weapons. It was obviously a high-end prop, and the way it was destroyed was very unique.

Mu Feng sniffed the information in the wind.

The temperature was very low, but cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Whether it was the stench emitted after human death or the special smell emitted when hot weapon props were crushed by gravity, it meant that they were in trouble.

The former was very common, but she had only encountered the latter in one instance...

"It's the Moon Goddess."

Mu Feng's voice became lowered.

In front of them is a monster that is constantly mutating and upgrading, and behind them is Cen Jinyue who is suspected to be slaughtering players.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and I can't defeat either one.

No wonder Tang Run just lay down.

They were sent by the guild because they had entered the same dungeon with Cen Jinyue a long time ago, so they had met each other once and had greeted each other to get to know each other. This way they would not participate in the competition and just stay in the surrounding area. In addition, with their abilities, they would not necessarily die even if they were caught.

At that time, that person was still a veteran player, firmly ranked fifth. Although he was indifferent to other players, he had never slaughtered anyone.

Mu Feng is not stupid, and he certainly would not steal Cen Jinyue’s props at that time.

However, by accident, she had seen that person use the skill. Cen Jinyue crushed another player's A-level thermal weapon into debris in the blink of an eye.

But now they were forced to hunt due to food shortage, and under the pursuit of Xu Xiaohua, they unknowingly entered the interior of the island. It seemed reasonable that they met Cen Jinyue.

Seeing that Xu Xiaohua had not caught up yet, Mu Feng's eyes rolled and he patted Tang Run's shoulder with his stiff arm.

"It's not like you're just waiting to die."

It should still be in time if we run now.

Although her ability is definitely not as useful in the woods as it is in open areas, with the help of the wind, she is much faster than other players.

It’s a pity that the goddess of luck did not favor them.

Tang Run had just nodded when a clear male voice came from behind him. His voice was full of surprise, as if something good had happened.

"That's great. I thought I would have to go through the trouble of looking for it."

Cen Jinyue appeared in the distance and looked at the two of them with a smile on her face.

"You are the fifth and sixth... well, I like the number 5." As he said this, he raised his hand and smiled gently, as if he was greeting someone in a friendly manner.

Perhaps it was because the numbers pleased him, that this time he did not turn the two men into blood foam right away. Instead, he showed mercy and spoke.

"So do you want to discuss who will die first? Who will die later?"

…

On the other side, Xu Zhiyan, who had left the church monster's nest, also encountered trouble after walking for about half an hour.

"Bang——"

A huge black prison dropped from the sky and embedded itself deeply into the ground.

The whole person was trapped in the cage. Xu Zhiyan looked at the tiny electric current flashing on the edge of the iron cage with a frown on his face.

Something is wrong...

He clearly brought detection props and kept defensive props on him from beginning to end, but before entering the extra chapter, he didn't receive any prompts at all. This doesn't make sense.

However, considering that this might be a trap set by some players to hunt food or monsters, Xu Zhiyan was not anxious. Instead, he patiently put on a smile and tried to communicate with the owner of the prop.

"I'm sorry to have strayed into your territory. Can you please negotiate and let me out?"

He raised his hands in a friendly gesture.

Harmony brings wealth, and maybe the owner of the trap will become a customer in the future?

Unfortunately, the person who set the trap didn't think so.

"Look what we caught..."

A rough and greedy voice sounded, and a bald strong man flashed out from the woods.

There was a scar on his bald head, with dragon and tiger tattoos on both sides of the scar, making him look quite imposing. Next to the bald head was a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked to be in his forties.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes when he saw Xu Zhiyan.

"Boss Xu, what a coincidence."

The familiar greeting, coupled with the venomous look in his eyes, made it easy to tell at a glance that this person was up to something bad.

Xu Zhiyan smiled and nodded, his brain thinking frantically.

He seemed to have some impression of this Longhu brother, having heard Jiang Huaiqie talk about him, but he remembered that the final comment was that he was a poor dog, so he never paid attention to him. As for the other middle-aged man...

There are so many ruthless guys wearing glasses in the game, and he really can't remember those who are not ranked within the top 50.

Without waiting for Xu Zhiyan to say anything else, the middle-aged man spoke slowly.

"Boss Xu, this cage was prepared for catching monsters. Now it's been destroyed by you. How much money are you going to give us?"

Everyone knows that Xu Zhiyan is rich.

There were many people who wanted to blackmail him.

Seeing Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows with a look of confusion, he added with a smile.

"Boss Xu may not know that this entire area is under our control. All defensive items cannot be used within this area."

It is well known that Xu Zhiyan has weak attack but high defense, and he carries a variety of props.

Now the entire small area is unable to use any defensive items. This person is like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

With this sentence, Xu Zhiyan finally realized what he had encountered.

"You mean...you? You want to blackmail me?"

His expression showed a hint of disbelief.

This is really strange, do these people really think that he has nothing but defensive props?

However, seeing the two men's familiar blackmail methods, Xu Zhiyan became excited.

He is quite famous for his gold belt for murder and arson. Since these two people dare to blackmail him, they must have the right means, maybe some special props or something!

You have to work hard to earn other players' money. How can it be faster than just robbing them?

Xu Zhiyan had no idea that he was too stingy in the past and rarely took out consumable attack props, which gave people the illusion that he was weak.
