Within the infinite game instances, players hid in disarray, eagerly hoping to find a safe house. Here, by paying a certain reward to the ghosts and gods, they could safely pass through da...
Chapter 332: Monster Nest Island
As soon as Xu Zhiyan heard the clown's words about the ideal country, he suddenly lost all sleepiness. His lifeless eyes widened a lot, and his furry head turned around randomly because he couldn't find the target, and he kept urging.
"Quick, quick, what did he say?"
In his original plan, using this incident to influence the Joker was just the first step.
The other party is usually so resolute and indifferent, and similar operations must be repeated at least several times before the other party can really let down his guard and reveal more information.
Of course, how much resources are required to obtain this information is another matter.
"According to the information given by the Joker, it is now the second round of the game."
The ghosts and gods did not keep us in suspense.
"Players with mimicry skills are not humans. They are a group of life forms called mimics."
He reached out and pushed Xu Zhiyan, who was twisting around, back into the blanket. His deep voice sounded like he was telling a bedtime story, but the content was a little serious.
“In addition to those Mimics who are very difficult to kill, Summoner and Dou Hongshan are also the remnants of the previous round.”
In the last round of the game, human players suffered a crushing defeat. According to information shared by the summoner, in the later stages, many players allegedly killed their own kind in order to save their lives, just to be assimilated by the mimics.
"The remnant?"
Xu Zhiyan chewed on this word over and over again.
The huge secret was being revealed bit by bit before his eyes. When he heard about the existence of the Mimic, he felt extremely complicated.
In fact, there were already clues in the game, indicating that in addition to humans, there was another kind of non-human creature here, but hearing it so directly still made him breathe a little faster.
"...Tsk, it seems that I can no longer maintain my perfectly neutral status." Xu Zhiyan sighed.
The ghost was amused by his tone and couldn't help but remind him.
"Didn't you just take the Utopia dues?"
The neutral status has long been lost.
The current information is seriously different from the content previously obtained from the ruins world.
Xu Zhiyan ignored the ghost's teasing, coughed lightly and continued: "According to the timeline, it is very likely that the last round of the game was the second round, and the one currently underway is the third round."
The round of the game in which the ghosts and gods unilaterally slaughtered the mimics was most likely the first round.
But it's a pity.
The Joker is not a holdover.
All the information he provided was obtained from other survivors.
"The clown seems to have a grudge against other people in the ideal country, so I didn't ask." The ghost glossed over the unimportant information.
He was not interested in the privacy of strange humans, so when talking about the hatred between Dark Alley and the Utopia, He skipped it and let the other party focus on the composition of the Utopia.
"In the last round of the game, the summoner did not survive to the end."
She didn't make it to the final guild war.
She stopped at the moment when a traitor among the human players swung a knife at his fellow human players.
The information given by the Joker is both numerous and complex.
Before the ghost could finish speaking, the entire underground space began to shake.
Hearing a barely audible sigh, Xu Zhiyan felt inexplicably nervous and asked in confusion, "What happened? Is there a fight going on up there?"
"It's the main system's detection."
The ghost replied in a slower voice.
According to the rules of Monster Nest Island, only one human player can enter the Church Monster Nest.
Except for the underground altar, the entire area of the church monster nest is just a power mapping, so the clown can only stay outside.
Tough measures inevitably require the use of force.
He had restrained himself and did not make too much noise, but it seemed that the power fluctuation caused by the priest's disappearance had caused the main system to intensify its investigation. Had he been locked onto by the main system simply by leaving the range?
A slender arm swung in front of him, and the ghost subconsciously reached out and grabbed Xu Zhiyan's wrist.
"It's troublesome?"
The young man's voice was soft, as if he was soothing something.
The ghost's frown relaxed, he held the person in his arms, rested his chin on Xin Shang's shoulder, and whispered back: "Nothing."
"It's just that your vision will be taken away for a little longer. The test may stop until your vision is restored. Converted to time, it will be about ten o'clock."
He had to ensure that when the main system really started testing, it would detect that he had taken enough 'tribute' to redeem it.
Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
He had previously warned Jiang Huaique not to leave the range of the monster's nest in the church. If Cen Jinyue really came, he should bring everyone else into the corridor.
With the combat power ceiling of ghosts and gods in place, he didn't even want to use weapons.
It's not long before dawn now. Even if Cen Jinyue comes to my door, as long as I can trick her down, I can use ghosts and gods to solve the problem. The worst that can happen is that I'll be blind for a few more days.
Xu Zhiyan's plan was perfect.
But things don’t always go as planned.
When the clown returned to the hall, Dou Hongshan immediately informed him of the white dog doll exploding at the door.
"Are you sure?"
The woman's voice was extremely hoarse.
The clown paused as he walked toward the door, then replied, "30%."
Now that they know that Cen Jinyue will definitely come to their doorstep, they can use the other party's coordinates to make some arrangements in advance.
From beginning to end, the two of them never thought of relying on the NPCs in the church monster nest.
No matter what Xu Zhiyan said, they would not pin their hopes on external forces. Their rough and complicated experiences made it difficult for them to put their fate in the hands of others.
The only power you can use is what you can use yourself.
Dou Hongshan looked down at the prop that recorded the coordinates.
"Cen Jinyue is moving to the other side of the island very quickly. If only Mu Feng and Tang Run are left on the island..."
Once the tracking dog doll drops a mark around the target, all players within the range will be marked and cannot be removed no matter where they go unless they die.
It seems that after releasing the tracking dog, the opponent did not do much, but instead planned to kill the remaining two players very easily.
There was no hiding or evasion in their conversation.
Jiang Huai Que heard it clearly.
When the clown walked to the door, he suddenly stood up and asked, "When you say 30% sure, do you mean after being marked?"
In front of the door, the clown turned around and stared into the black-haired man's eyes.
"Yes."
He said.
At present, he is only 30% sure that he can kill Cen Jinyue.
Jiang Huaique thought for a while and spoke again.
"How much does it add up with my words?"
"Sixty percent." The clown replied.
"If you're willing to use weapons."
…
In the dense forest of the island.
Two panting figures kept flashing through the woods.
Mu Feng was no longer able to speak.
The only sound in her ears was the whistling wind and her own deafening breathing.
After a desperate escape, the two men slipped into a hidden tree hole. As soon as they entered, the monster's nest prompt appeared, and they saw that the two sections of the passage were connected to dark spaces emitting faint light.
It is the nest of twin tree hole monsters.
The two looked at each other and saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.
The existence of a monster nest means that they can temporarily exchange some things with the owner of the monster nest to gain a moment of safety.
God knows why Cen Jinyue would follow me!
A faint smell of blood filled the air.
During their escape just now, they were blocked once. Even though they were still several dozen meters away from the enemy, they were still hit by the area skill and suffered internal injuries.
"Walk."
"good!"
Mu Feng and Tang Run walked into the nearby monster's nest respectively.
These monsters feed on humans.
Maybe they will take away their hands, feet, five senses, eyeballs or internal organs, but no matter what, they will not die!
Soon, mixed with muffled groans and suppressed cries of pain, came from the strange nest of the twin tree holes...
Cen Jinyue was not in a hurry while walking in the jungle.
After the prop exploded, it was discovered that all the remaining players on the island appeared on the mark. The plan was immediately modified, intending to capture the two people who escaped first.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, he drove the two of them to the vicinity of the strange nest in the twin tree holes.
The footprints disappeared, and it seemed that the two people, as he had expected, chose a monster's nest respectively and made a deal in order to survive.
Soon, he saw from afar the strange nest that he had passed by but not dealt with before.
As he walked along, Cen Jinyue didn't even have a speck of mud on his body. He was dressed neatly and had a gentle temperament, like a young teacher who was about to go to class.
It’s a pity that this temperament couldn’t be maintained for too long.
When the dirty Xu Xiaohua came out from the woods beside him and threw herself on his calves, the faint smile on Cen Jinyue's face disappeared.
"Big brother! I'm hungry!"
The heartless eating machine made a sound that gave people a headache.
But this time, Cen Jinyue did not allow Xu Xiaohua to act recklessly. His voice was a little cold and his expression fell.
"Your father is most likely the culprit who took my things."
Both dolls found the same place, which means Lu Yaoling and Xu Zhiyan are together... If Xu Zhiyan is there to add fuel to the fire and give advice, the disappearance of the membership fee seems very likely to happen.
When Xu Xiaohua heard this, she changed her mind without thinking.
"Then there must be something wrong with your stuff. My father must have his reasons for doing this!"
Anyway, it’s not its father’s problem!
In the live broadcast room, the audience who were originally worried about Mu Feng and others suddenly laughed out loud.
【puff--】
[Oh, if this little eater wasn't so expensive, I really want to raise one! ]
[I am dying of laughter, hahahahaha, even the Moon Goddess’s face has changed color. ]
[Yes, although I usually hate people who mindlessly protect others, I will feel very warm if it protects me, so can't Xu Xiaohua really release some substitute monsters? @安全屋]
[Indeed!! Both powerful and cute! ]
[Just don’t bring it into the survival dungeon (lighting a cigarette.jpg) or else two teammates will be exhausted just by preparing meals for the children. ]
“…”
Cen Jinyue's face turned dark and she stopped arguing with this little monster.
He has much better patience with non-human creatures.
After simply dealing with Xu Xiaohua, Cen Jinyue set his sights on the monster's nest in the tree hole in front of him. His target had not changed from beginning to end.
Kill all the other players and get the reward.
...Of course, if Xu Zhiyan was sensible, he might choose to spare the other person's life.
"Do you think it's okay to stay in there?"
Cen Jinyue cleared his throat. If his legs weren't covered in mud from Xu Xiaohua's embrace, he might have looked more calm and composed.
In the dim monster's nest, Mu Feng's face was pale. He used his hands and mouth to bandage the wound on his left wrist with a strip of cloth.
She had just used her left hand to exchange six hours of safety with the owner of the tree hole monster nest. Cen Jinyue could not enter the monster nest, so at least she was safe for these six hours. However, there were not many things on her body that could be exchanged. Her internal organs were injured and could not be exchanged. Tang Run must be in the same situation.
Just when Mu Feng relaxed a little and was about to sit down to rest, the owner of the tree hole monster nest who was eating the severed hand beside him seemed to have his neck pinched.
It looks like an oversized snail.
Originally, when it was eating, its eyes were wide open, and it was obviously very happy. But now, its happy eyes suddenly bulged outwards, bloodshot spread, and it almost exploded in the next moment.
Mu Feng's expression was extremely ugly.
She knew that the owner of the monster's nest was not very strong in combat, but she didn't know that Cen Jinyue was actually capable of launching an attack from such a long distance.
A moment later, the thing she least wanted to see happened.
“Puff——”
The giant snail monster that was in charge of the tree hole monster nest suddenly exploded as if it was crushed by an invisible hand.
Disgusting colored slime splashed out.
Mu Feng had no time to feel sick, she froze in place, unable to move.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka”
The tree hole cracked, and the two people who had just paid the reward a few minutes ago were exposed outside, along with the corpses of two giant snails.
Seeing this, Cen Jinyue frowned with a look of disgust.
"The monster nest is not indestructible."
His tone was calm, with a hint of pity, as if he wanted to give the two of them an understanding before continuing on his way.
The monster nest will never collapse.
But the basis of all this is that the owner of the monster nest is still alive.
With just one sentence, Mu Feng felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
Yes, in the previous system prompts, it has been repeatedly emphasized that the owner of the monster nest can be killed...
Players enter a monster nest and are protected from being hit by other players' skills, but the owner of the monster nest does not have this status and they will still be killed.
Cen Jinyue exploited a loophole in the game settings.
He used his unique advantage of range attack and easily killed the owner of the monster's nest.
There are very few players in the game who can use skills through walls. Almost everyone who kills a monster must at least see the monster's true body. Cen Jinyue is more like a monster than the monster itself.
After scanning the two of them and making sure that they understood what she meant, Cen Jinyue relaxed her brows, spread out her hands and smiled.
"Let's get going. I have to rush to the next location after packing up. But I really like the desperate expressions you provided."
The gravity that was about to exceed the limit of human endurance was overwhelming. Tang Run staggered two steps. Mu Feng had already vomited blood from her mouth. The change in pressure made her eyeballs bloodshot and her vision turned pink.
Is this the end?
When a person is about to die, a mixture of emotions surges into his heart.
"In my next life... I want to... be a bird..." She spoke with difficulty, tears of blood flowing from the corners of her eyes.
At the side, Tang Run's hunched body became even shorter.
He glanced at Mu Feng and suddenly smiled.
"Alright."
At this moment, there was a huge vibration all around that could not be ignored.
This sudden accident interrupted Cen Jinyue who was using his skills. He frowned and looked to the side with a somewhat surprised expression.
It is Xu Xiaohua after the mutation.
The black monster with strange limbs all over its body was much bigger than when I first saw it. It was about four meters tall.
More mouths sprouted from its featureless face.
"Godfather, godmother...food."
Cen Jinyue looked at the black monster that moved to Tang Runmufeng's side, frowned, and took out the summoning box that belonged to Xu Xiaohua.
"I didn't mean to kill you," he said.
A huge pressure surged towards the summoning box in his palm. In just a few seconds, several cracks appeared on the extremely hard box.
Mu Feng opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
However, due to damage to his internal organs, he could only open his mouth and could not say anything.
The summoned creature is bound to the box. Once the box is broken, the summoned creature will also die passively...
In full view of the public.
The box eventually broke.
“Crack—crash—”
Black and gray fragments fell all over the ground.
Mu Feng closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to see the monster who rushed over to save them die.
However, the next second, she felt herself being clamped by some hard limbs, and she flew into the air and quickly flashed to the side.
No... not dead?
Her brain was kind of shutting down.
Xu Xiaohua was completely unaware and was still ordering food.
"Eat, eat fish... Forget it, eat pork!" It had had enough of fish and wanted to change the taste.
Hearing what the other party said, the feeling of being rescued that arose in Tang Run and Mu Feng's hearts was instantly suppressed.
Under the church.
Blind Limited Edition Xu Zhiyan was quietly waiting for time to pass. After a while, he felt sleepy again and started yawning continuously.
"I don't know what happened to Xu Xiaohua..."
"Worried about it?"
The ghosts and gods asked.
Xu Zhiyan shook his head.
"No, not at all. It's like a gluttonous war god. It can eat a lot and is very resistant to attacks. I'm just a little worried. What if the kid breaks the box when he runs away?"
He didn't think any player would go to the trouble of breaking the box, but that might not be the case if Xu Xiaohua lost her mind.
"What will happen if I crush it? Will I die?"
I never paid much attention to them in the past, and I only had a vague impression of these props.
Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips and replied, "Death? Are you kidding me?"
The summoning box produced by the safe house is different from those sold on the market. Monsters can change their nests infinitely. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the monsters are upgraded and the box is directly broken.
"At the time, I considered that Xu Xiaohua might be upgraded. The materials used in its box are very complicated... Forget it, let me put it simply. Its box is custom-made and more expensive. If it is scrapped, it will not be cheap."
Xu Zhiyan touched his chest and felt inexplicably nervous. He didn't know why, but he always had a feeling that he was about to go bankrupt.
