Chapter 176: Bandits Fighting Bandits
"If you don't mind, I'll take it away." Zhong Mu smiled and quickly packed up the necessary supplies despite the player's tearful expression.
Just as we were finishing up the work here, the person tied to the tree suddenly became nervous and stared at somewhere behind Zhong Mu.
Zhong Mu hid the storage items, turned around quickly, and saw Yin Xiu.
"Brother Xiu! You're here! I just prepared some supplies for us!" He waved excitedly to Yin Xiu and strode over.
The man tied to the tree was a little nervous when he saw a new man appear with a knife. After all, he was carrying a knife, and it was obvious that he was not a good person. What if he also came to rob supplies, and killed the people in front of him and himself in the process?
As a result, when he saw Zhong Mu walking over while saying hello, he immediately felt relieved that the life he had exchanged for the supplies could be saved.
Yin Xiu didn't even glance at the people by the tree. Instead, he whispered to Zhong Mu calmly, "Next time, don't take out your storage items in front of others. If they get stolen, all your supplies will be lost at once."
This is also a rookie copy. Most of the newcomers don’t have props. If there is one person who hides props full of supplies on his body, it will make people jealous. Even if they don’t rob him, they will steal him secretly.
"Okay, okay." Zhong Mu quickly put on a serious face and seriously moved the props to another place and hid them.
After Yin Xiu reminded him, he remembered that most newcomers didn't have any props at all, let alone weapons. It would be good if they could have one small life-saving prop. He was still taken care of too well in the small town.
With Yin Xiu by his side, Zhong Mu no longer had to fear the attacker. Under Yin Xiu's watchful eye, he stepped forward and untied the man's ropes. Then he raised his head and said, "Take the rest of your supplies and go. If you dare to rob me again next time, I won't be so easy on you!"
The man who was untied immediately nodded, took his remaining supplies and hurried away.
"Brother Xiu, did you hear the seventh rule that was added to this copy?" After seeing that person leave, Zhong Mu carefully took out the rules that he had recorded in advance from his pocket. These were the rules that he had copied from the small town, and it was an old version that only had six rules.
The extra seventh rule seems a bit redundant. After all, the rules don't mention it. As long as the conditions for passing the level include surviving for seven days, players can leave, and players will try their best to survive for seven days. However, rule seven specifically reminds you that if you survive for seven days, you will be the most qualified prey in the hunting ground.
Some of them are hard to understand.
"Anyway, just survive to the seventh day. Don't think too much about it." Yin Xiu turned around calmly. When he knew that this copy could kill hunters and other players, he had no worries at all. The hunting ground where life and death were fought, and all he saw were enemies that could be killed. It was perfect for him.
"Okay, let me see the guide. I remember that the underground passage where you can hide after dark has special signs. Our town has this guide, so you can go there directly. It will be safe after dark." Zhong Mu was flipping through the guide while checking the surrounding environment.
But Yin Xiu shook his head and nodded in a certain direction. "No, after dark, we won't go underground. We'll stay above and wait for the hunters to appear. I plan to go in that direction first."
Zhong Mu's hand holding the strategy guide trembled. Has the boss always been so powerful in clearing dungeons?
"Just...just stay up there and wait for them?" He swallowed nervously, then, as if mentally prepared, he rolled up the strategy guide and stuffed it into his pocket, mustering up his courage. "Okay! We won't go underground!"
Yin Xiu nodded, very satisfied with Zhong Mu's courage.
The strange props must be because the monsters know more information. If they always follow the survival and hiding route in this copy, they will never know where the props are. They have to be aggressive and take the initiative to find those so-called hunters.
"Let's go in that direction first. I heard the sound of waves over there when I came here. It should be close to the seashore. I'll go see if there is a cruise ship first." Yin Xiu had a clear goal after listening to the rules.
Since the ultimate goal of the copy is survival, he must search the entire island on the premise of survival and go to places where he is not allowed to go.
A cruise ship that has its rules written in it must be a special place.
"Okay!" Zhong Mu was very excited. It was comfortable to follow the boss through the dungeon. Even the goal was clear when he came up.
"Take your weapon with you and be prepared for a sneak attack at any time." Yin Xiu whispered, silently suppressing the knife and walking in the intended direction.
After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something.
It's been a while since I entered the dungeon, why hasn't Li Mo come to find me yet? Is he so slow again this time?
He glanced around, just knowing he would come, and not worrying too much about being late.
The two began to walk into the dense forest together.
After walking for a while, Yin Xiu gradually understood why this island was called a hunting ground. There were many dangers hidden in the countless dense weeds, including but not limited to huge animal traps, thorny pits, and nets. He could notice traps in the grass every time he walked a distance.
It seemed as if they were really like prey thrown into a hunting area.
"Help! Help me!" After walking two steps forward, a low cry for help came from between the shade of the trees. The overgrown weeds were full of danger.
Zhong Mu, who was following behind, stuck his head out and asked, "Did we encounter a wounded person so soon?"
They were well aware that players would snatch the items from each other, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and the sound was right in front of where they were going.
"Never mind, let's go." Yin Xiu responded lazily, and Zhong Mu nodded and followed behind him.
After stepping through the dense weeds that extended to their calves, they finally saw the person who had just called for help. The person's leg was caught in a trap in the grass. He curled up there with blood all over his body, staring at Yin Xiu and Zhong Mu who were coming over in horror. There was also a tempting bag next to him, which obviously contained supplies.
Their eyes met, and the player stared at him in horror, afraid that they would come to snatch it away, but Yin Xiu just walked past him with an expressionless face, leaving the other party stunned.
Just when he thought both of them were about to leave, Zhong Mu stopped in front of him.
"How about I help you break the trap open and you give me half of your supplies?" He put forward the condition very kindly.
The other party was stunned, a little confused. Not only did he want to save him, but he only wanted half the reward? Really?
Seeing his silence, Zhong Mu assumed he was unwilling, so he immediately stood up and clapped his hands calmly, "If you don't want to, forget it. Just stay here and wait for the hunters to show up after dark. Then you can die with your supplies."
The person on the other side immediately grabbed him and said, "Okay! I'll switch with you! I'll switch!"
Zhong Mu then turned back with a smile, "Brother Xiu, wait for me for a while, I'm going to stock up on supplies."
He shouted at Yin Xiu who was walking away, and squatted down to help the player open the trap.
Yin Xiu stood there without moving, looked back at Zhong Mu and the players, then squinted his eyes and looked around. He seemed to have seen some figures hiding nearby.
Was it by chance that he was attracted by this person's cry for help, or...
What about some small means of cooperation?
If it's the latter, then they chose the wrong person.
