Chapter 184: Old but Useful
Yin Xiu found a guest room, lay down, and closed the door.
If he remembered correctly, both the stone tablet and the so-called sacrifices on the ship were designated as lives that would die on the island. Now, even if all these hunters were killed on the cruise ship, it would be useless and would only be a waste of lives. They had to be lured to the island and slowly dealt with without disturbing everyone.
So let's take a rest now.
But before taking a break, Yin Xiu asked Danmu to pass a task to Zhong Mu.
Given Yin Xiu's current condition, it would be difficult for him to kill a hundred monsters in seven days.
Monsters also kill people every night on the island. If Yin Xiu can't catch up with the monsters' killing speed within seven days, the item in the dungeon will be given to the person with the most deaths.
Once the props are given to the monster, they will become the monster's exclusive props. Players cannot own them. They must take the initiative to grab them. First, they grab the number of people who kill the monsters, and then make a big plan to see if they can kill a large group of monsters at once.
In order to prevent any accidents and achieve the maximum benefits in a short time, he needs Zhong Mu to unite with others on the island.
"Brother Xiu wants to use human weapons to kill the monster?"
"It's almost the same to distribute the remaining lives among other players to ensure that no one else has a monopoly on the big head. Anyway, Brother Xiu just needs to grab heads on the monster side and become the one with the most kills."
"That would require tricking the players into attacking the monsters, but the players in this dungeon are all newcomers. They'd fight and kill each other, and they wouldn't dare attack the hunters at all."
"This kind of thing is what Boss Ye is best at. Now... I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zhong Mu to accomplish it."
"Let him try. Even if he can't unite people, it's fine as long as the ultimate goal is achieved."
"If it doesn't work, we have your guidance behind the scenes! We can imitate Boss Ye's previous operations and achieve the same result!"
"When you say that, I'm really excited!"
A group of Ye family's true disciples rubbed their hands excitedly.
After explaining everything, Yin Xiu lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
The small tentacles on its arms twisted and crawled up to Yin Xiu's chest, lying there quietly and staring at Yin Xiu.
Monsters don't need to sleep. When Yin Xiu sleeps, it is responsible for staring at Yin Xiu and monitoring the surroundings to ensure his safety.
It is really a qualified boyfriend.
After the hunters fall asleep, the daytime is the time for players to be active.
With Li Mo around, Zhong Mu didn't need to worry too much at night. Even if he couldn't find a safe resting place underground, he still slept on the ground all night.
As long as they don't disturb a large number of hunters, they don't need to change locations. Li Mo will eat every hunter that comes.
That night, the barrage showed Zhong Mu sleeping soundly and Li Mo eating happily beside him.
After dawn, Zhong Mu opened his eyes and saw Li Mo sitting upright on a wooden stake opposite him with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was doing.
He tiptoed to take out some water from the props, washed himself lightly, ate something, and began to listen to the instructions of the barrage masters.
So far, he has been surviving and passing the level at the normal pace for a newbie, all under the protection of the two big guys. Since the barrage said that Brother Xiu went to the Hunter camp, he also had to find a way to wander around the island and take the initiative to contact other players to see if he could help Brother Xiu.
Zhong Mu was eating while watching the discussion of the barrage bosses. When they came up with a plan, he turned around and saw that Li Mo had opened his eyes at some point and was staring at the sky in a daze.
It looked like an ordinary human being in trouble. Considering that the other party was essentially a monster, Zhong Mu still hesitated and said to Li Mo, "Is there something in the sky? Or are you worried about something?"
Li Mo lowered his head with slow and steady movements, and turned around with a sinister smile. Any normal person would feel uneasy, and Zhong Mu was no exception.
But the words that came out of Li Mo's mouth added a touch of humanity to this monster.
"Why would he kiss my tentacles but not me?"
"..." Zhong Mu was silent. He knew it was referring to Brother Xiu, but he didn't know how to respond. Was this the worry that the boss was thinking about when he was going through the dungeon? He didn't understand.
However, Zhong Mu still answered honestly.
"Is it possible that...Brother Xiu has never been intimate with normal people, and he is not used to you in human form?"
"Yeah?"
"yes."
Zhong Mu put a small piece of bread into his mouth and chewed it, looking at Li Mo with an innocent face.
"Will humans be uncomfortable with intimacy with another person?" Li Mo lowered his eyes. This was different from what he had read in the book.
It clearly says that humans need companions. Humans are most likely to let down their guard against their own kind, especially in dangerous environments. It is definitely safer to have a person around than to have monsters around.
But...Yin Xiu was close to his monster form, but not to his human form.
"That's how normal people are, but Brother Xiu is not a normal person. He spent his adolescence in the dungeon, and monsters are also a part of his life. He is different from people who grew up normally." Zhong Mu didn't know how to explain to a monster how much impact the environment has on people.
Personality, hobbies, attitude, and perhaps even criteria for choosing a partner.
All I can say is that Li Mo is still far from fully understanding human thinking.
The monster boss pondered, as if he understood. After thinking for a long time, he still shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't have other boyfriends around him, it's enough if he only has me."
Li Mo believes that his main purpose is companionship, and love will grow over time.
Zhong Mu saw through it and realized that what this man was aiming for was exclusivity, and that he would force her to fall in love with him over time.
After discussing the plan to scam the players in the barrage, Zhong Mu packed up and set off to the island to find other players.
This is how the barrage was planned.
During the day, players mainly avoid other people, because there are no other dangers besides other players.
In order to force players to group together, they have to create danger.
But who on the island is more dangerous than the fierce player? Li Mo.
The most convenient method that the players in the small town have learned is to create a false image, win people's hearts, and then use the crowd to make false propaganda.
The guidance behind the barrage told Zhong Mu the nearest underground hiding place through the screen, and then Li Mo went ahead, disguised as a ferocious monster, and actively attacked the player.
The players who had finally avoided the night and successfully waited until the day arrived happily on the ground, only to come face to face with a man with a sinister smile and a weird look all over his body.
They fled in panic, but couldn't outrun Li Mo.
They fought back frantically but were unable to defeat Li Mo.
When they saw the pseudo-human monster in front of them showing its terrifying sharp teeth, they howled and thought they were doomed.
Then, the next second, a heroic and imposing figure suddenly appeared in front of the players, pointing the red fire axe righteously at the monsters on the opposite side, and shouted loudly: "Don't hurt them!"
The routine is old, but useful.
When the terrified players saw Zhong Mu's fake boss image, hope was instantly ignited on their faces, and they all hid under his protection.
