Chapter 291 Those people in the fog are back
Thinking of this, Yin Xiu turned around and sat on the shore, picking up the fishing rod again.
The black fog was not aggressive when it first emerged from the bottom of the lake. He had to sit here and wait until the black fog dissipated, otherwise he would still be attacked even if he just went down and came up.
408 is a monster and seems to be unaffected by the black fog. This is a dangerous obstacle designed for players. Yin Xiu has been thinking, will it become ineffective on him after he deepens the mutation?
He sat on the shore holding his fishing rod and staring blankly. This was what he was best at.
408 didn't have such good patience. He wandered around in the black fog, walking around even though he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, and then talked to Yin Xiu.
"I certainly didn't hear any sound in the black fog. Are you sure you heard it before?"
"Ah, this black fog can see people, right? It can hear sounds for you but not for me. This is outrageous."
"You said this fog is alive. Could it be that the black fog is also a monster? I haven't known much about the monster community since I fell asleep. I'm a monster myself, but I'm completely different from the monsters that have been living in the dungeon."
408's words actually enlightened Yin Xiu. He had seen a flower-like monster before, which definitely broke his stereotype of monsters. Living fog, fog that could kill people, obviously didn't match the monsters Yin Xiu knew. But in the dungeon, only monsters could kill players. If fog was also a monster...
Will he be a monster transformed by the player like the flower before?
Yin Xiu had a lot of confusing things in his mind, so he could only wait for the fog to dissipate, and then wait for the next wave of fog to come before going to Hai Village to explore.
During this period, the voices coming from the fog were the same as those told by the people in the sea village. They offered sacrifices to the gods and received rewards, so they happily left the sea village, built a small town, and went to a wider world to prepare for the future, but they never thought that this was the beginning of a nightmare.
When the black fog completely dissipated, 408 was already dozing off under the tree next to him, and only Yin Xiu was sitting there motionless.
As soon as the black fog dissipated, he stood up and tied the rope tightly, ready to wait for the black fog to float a second time. But just as he made sure the rope on the tree was secure, he heard hurried footsteps in the distance, running towards this side at a rapid speed.
"Brother Xiu! Brother Xiu, where are you! Come back soon!" It was Zhong Mu's voice. He sounded panting and running hurriedly, stumbling towards this side.
Yin Xiu immediately dropped the rope in his hand and walked towards the trail. "What happened?"
Zhong Mu ran all the way to Yin Xiu, gasping for breath. The black fog dissipated in just a moment, and he ran through the town and came to the farthest lake as if he had discovered something. It can be said that the sudden change made him very anxious.
"Brother Xiu, let's go back to the town quickly and check. All those people who disappeared in the fog have returned!" It was hard to tell whether Zhong Mu's expression was one of surprise or sadness. Anyway, he pulled Yin Xiu and walked back.
"Those people who disappeared in the fog? Players? Players in the small town?" Yin Xiu didn't even bother to call 408 and hurried back.
"Yes, it's the people who were swallowed by the black fog before. Everyone thought they were dead, but unexpectedly, the fog just now brought them all back!" Zhong Mu's words were incoherent and he couldn't explain clearly. Anyway, he hurriedly pulled Yin Xiu back. When he got back, he would be able to understand the current situation.
At this time, in the town square, on one side were the players of this dungeon, each holding a weapon and staring at the opposite side vigilantly, while on the other side were some monsters with black spots all over their bodies and some inhuman and distorted appearances.
The surviving players in the town recognized a familiar face and rushed over without thinking.
In the eyes of players who have completed the game normally, this is the recognition of monsters. They did not find it very strange, but became more vigilant.
Previously, the players in the town had a good attitude towards them. They were very worried that this group of monsters that suddenly came out of the fog would change the original situation in the town. Once this number of monsters became hostile, they would not be able to suppress them at all, so all the normal players now had panic expressions on their faces.
The other side was crying with joy.
"I clearly heard your screams coming from the black fog, and there were traces of blood afterwards. I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect to see you come back." The players hugged each other, not caring about the parts of each other that had mutated into inhuman parts, they were just happy.
The players who had mutated back also went to the people they were familiar with, as if they had returned to this big family again, with complicated and tangled expressions.
The players in the 35-dimensional town all attach great importance to the people around them. For them, coming back alive is enough. Even if they mutate into monsters, as long as they are still rational and are not affected by the copy, they will still be no different from before.
After being accepted back in good faith, this group of changed players all felt complicated and cried out their feelings without hiding anything.
"I want to come back here, but I'd rather not. We are no longer human. If we come back, we will only become a disaster for everyone."
"Don't say that. It's good to be back."
"It's great to see you all...but we really shouldn't be here, we..."
They sighed in confusion, and finally said leisurely: "We are monsters, and we were sent here because we have a mission to help the players offer sacrifices."
They sighed and looked solemn, and the surviving players just smiled bitterly and patted their shoulders.
The two groups of people who should have been enemies upon their reunion did not want to attack those who had once formed a group, so the scene was now extremely harmonious. On the contrary, the normal players were as nervous as opponents.
"Helping the players offer sacrifices, that should refer to us, right?" The player group had heard about the dungeon announcement and knew about things like sacrifice in the prompts, but they had not experienced the same situation as Yin Xiu, and just thought it was the background of the dungeon. Seeing this group of monsters that suddenly appeared, some of them suddenly realized.
"These monsters that suddenly appeared are the ones helping us! The dungeon briefing said we need to kill more sacrifices, and the monsters on the other side are helping the players kill the sacrifices. We are in the same group with them!"
"What's the sacrifice then? The town is full of monsters right now, where would the sacrifice come from? I thought we were the sacrifice."
Players who come to pass the level normally are still unaware of the situation because of incomplete information, and are temporarily wary of all beings other than players.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"That's not right! There must be a sacrifice in the town! If those people who just appeared are monsters, they are helping us to offer the sacrifice..."
"Then were those people originally in the town the sacrifices?"
