Chapter 474 [(*^▽^*)]
From their vantage point, the entire village seemed like some kind of demonized land; everyone knew that approaching it carelessly would bring terrible misfortune, and might even cost them their lives.
Xue Rui: "The house we live in is normal, you see."
Lin Leyou naturally saw it. "Phew... It's normal. There are so many houses in the whole village, scattered on both sides of the valley, hundreds of houses. Only the one we live in, although it is also old, is very clean. It seems that they specially cleaned it up."
The surveillance camera also captured images of several villagers, their bodies rotting away. You could almost smell the stench of the decaying flesh through the screen. However, you could see that the villagers' eyes were unusually bright, revealing a kind of simple and honest nature. Sure enough... their ferocity was only directed at the villains and thieves who had trespassed into the village.
At first glance, the scene was indeed quite frightening, but they soon noticed that these terrifying-looking villagers were fighting and playing around, and one of them was being chased and beaten by his wife, and his appearance of running away with his head in his hands was quite amusing.
Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "The village is a very safe place for us. As for the rest, we don't need to worry about it. Quickly fly the monitoring ball to the thief's pit and take a look."
Xue Rui nodded. Actually, he didn't think Xiushan Village was a scary place. "Okay."
Soon the monitoring balls flew away, brazenly passing through the village and even flying past several villagers, who found the balls rather strange.
"What is this? I've never seen it before."
"I don't recognize it either, but it smells like those two kids, so it must be their stuff."
"Oh, I see. Then it's all right."
Although everyone was curious about what this unfamiliar thing was, they didn't touch it simply because of the scent emanating from Lin Leyou and the others. You see, if it were anything else, they wouldn't even bother to look at what it was and would just destroy it!
Similar things have happened before. Some thieves, afraid to come in, would bring random things to Xiushan Village. At first, they didn't notice, but they found out later.
Therefore, the villagers have no tolerance for anything unknown.
The monitoring ball slowly left the village and flew towards the thieves' pit in the back mountain. Soon they could see the full view of the thieves' pit from afar. To be honest... what they saw with their naked eyes was completely different from what they saw on the monitor.
According to the footage from the surveillance camera, even before crossing the mountain, one could see the soaring black aura from the Thieves' Pit, as if there was a huge, dark abyss there, with black resentment constantly gushing out and shooting straight into the sky. The dark clouds in the sky should be closely related to this Thieves' Pit.
As the monitoring ball slowly approached, radiating a palpable aura of resentment, a familiar figure came into view.
Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "Is this the village chief?"
Five monitoring balls flew to the village chief's side, circled him a few times, and Xue Rui nodded, "It really is the village chief."
There was no way to tell who was who from the figures inside the surveillance footage, as they were rotten and blackened. Unless you got close and looked closely, they couldn't tell who was who.
The village chief is different. His exposed bones are silvery-white, while the other villagers' bones are ordinary white or black. Unlike the village chief, whose silvery-white bones seem to glow in the dim environment, the village chief is undoubtedly the big boss of this Xiushan Village instance.
"Hmm? That smells familiar... What are you two little ones doing?"
Xue Rui controlled the monitoring ball to turn it towards the direction of the thief's pit.
The village chief nodded. "Want to see this thief's pit? Sure, there's nothing you can't see. Go ahead."
He then turned and walked towards the village, leaving only five surveillance cameras behind. Xue Rui paused for a moment before controlling the cameras to move backward, and finally they saw what the thief's pit looked like.
Xue Rui: "I couldn't see what was inside; it was pitch black."
Lin Leyou looked down at the thief's pit and saw that it was indeed pitch black, but it wasn't entirely black. It seemed to contain some black water... no, not water, but rather liquefied resentment!
These nearly liquefied resentful energies churned continuously beneath the thief's pit, as if some ghostly creature was constantly wandering and lurking within.
Lin Leyou said, "These things look like water, but they're not real water. The three people who were thrown in earlier were probably obscured by this heavy resentment. They should be at the very bottom."
Xue Rui, "Can't get up, right?"
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Nobody can say for sure. Maybe we can use the items to leave this place after we wake up. It's okay, as long as we keep an eye on the map, we'll know as soon as we get out."
Xue Rui glanced at the map. "Someone else is coming. Let's continue."
Lin Leyou nodded. "Take care of them first. Later, I'll send your surveillance ball down to the bottom of the thief's pit to take a look."
Xue Rui: "No problem."
There were two people coming down the mountain this time; there were originally three, but unfortunately, one of them was killed when they were not careful while passing by the place where the python was.
Just as Lin Leyou had expected, the python only killed one person at a time. It didn't chase after the two who escaped after killing them, and simply ate its meal on the spot.
Xue Rui held the Beretta in his hand, thought for a moment, and then loaded a few ordinary bullets. Since the goal was to save their lives, he certainly couldn't use explosive bullets. What if he accidentally got blown up?
The two men they had been targeting quickly came into their line of sight. Xue Rui and his team each shot one of them in the knee, while another shot shattered the other's kneecap.
Before they could even react, they felt a sharp pain in their knees, and within a second, the pain returned to their other knees. They fell forward and knelt on the ground.
"Oh no, someone's lying in ambush! Hurry..."
"I know!"
The two of them quickly took out combat puppets from their backpacks. After observing them for a while, Lin Leyou discovered that they were actually purple-grade item puppets with strong combat capabilities.
Lin Leyou smirked, "Who comes to this instance without gold-tier weapons and items? How come you're facing a life-or-death crisis and only brought out two purple-tier puppets?"
Xue Rui immediately switched to explosive bullets. Since they were puppets, there was no need to hold back. He fired several shots with explosive bullets, but the two puppets only suffered small cuts, and they were even able to automatically heal!
Of course, the recovery process is relatively slow, but if it can be recovered, then it's all good!
Lin Leyou naturally noticed this as well. He and Xue Rui exchanged a glance and understood what the other was thinking: it would be great if they could get their hands on these two puppets!
To obtain these two puppets, they would have to kill these two people, but they had already made arrangements with the villagers to bring back some living people...
“Xiao You, there are still many people behind us, these two won’t make a difference, and he also said that it doesn’t matter if he dies.”
Lin Leyou's eyes flashed slightly, "Then it's decided."
The two puppets were quite fast, and they were already close to them. Xue Rui was caught off guard and was caught off guard. Although he managed to dodge one of the puppets' attacks with a somersault, he did not expect the puppets' attack speed to be so fast. When the second attack came, he had no chance to dodge and could only take the hit.
However, Xue Rui also used this force to retreat a distance. Of course, the puppet was fast and stuck to him as if it were glued to his back. If it were before, Xue Rui would not have been foolish enough to use his body to fight the puppet head-on.
But now, he no longer needed to dodge the puppet's attacks. It was as if he himself was a puppet, exchanging blows with the opponent with his fists. Every punch landed squarely. Because of this, the two people controlling the puppets behind him were dumbfounded. What was wrong with this person? Was he really that strong?
Because of this, the two of them were a little late for treatment. After Xue Rui punched the puppet away, he flicked his finger, aiming his gun at the people controlling it behind him. They were eating... probably taking healing potions? Too bad, there wasn't enough time...
While Xue Rui was frantically exchanging fire with the puppet, he actually managed to find a sliver of an opening and fire a shot at someone over there. The other person was tilting his head back to drink a potion, and the shot hit him directly in the neck. The bullet exploded and blew off most of his neck, leaving only a bit of skin and flesh connecting it. He died instantly!
At the same time, Lin Leyou went even further, adjusting his aerial attack to a single point so that the area covered by the bullets was extremely small, thus creating a piercing wound.
The shot pierced straight through the puppet's body, leaving only a hole the size of a grain of rice. The bullet did not weaken after penetrating the puppet and continued flying, simultaneously striking the head of the person behind it.
The person is dead, but the two puppets remain. It's perfect that each of them has one. These purple-grade combat puppets are quite good. If you were to buy such a puppet on the market, it would cost at least seven or eight million points, and you might not even be able to buy it.
Lin Leyou put the puppet into his backpack and then checked the details.
"Battle Puppet: Purple-grade item, requires 1,000 points to use for one minute, has super strong defense and super strong close combat ability, requires five hours to repair when 5% damaged."
Xue Rui: "One thousand points per minute, not bad... This puppet is very powerful."
You can't tell much just by reading the text, but the two of them had just experienced it firsthand, so they knew that these two puppets were indeed very powerful in close combat. The puppet they were fighting just now actually smashed a huge tree in half with a single punch! Keep in mind that this tree would take two people to hug!
Lin Leyou said, "Mine is 5% damaged and needs five hours to repair. That means it's true that it can heal itself, and it heals 1% in one hour."
