Looking at the elegant big flower mosquito that kept stretching its legs towards him, Mosquito Xiangwang began to doubt his life.
I wonder if his hidden charm has reached the sky, which is why he is charming when he is a human, mysterious when he transforms into a weird form, and even if he turns into a mosquito, he can still charm the mosquitoes to death.
But Wu Xiangwang quickly shook off this somewhat narcissistic thought and flew to the side cautiously.
Because he suddenly discovered that this elegant big flower mosquito did not have two or even three long blood-sucking needles like the strange mosquitoes in this world.
This big flower mosquito actually looks like the same Earth mosquito as him.
When Wu Xiangwang discovered this, he felt that there was something fishy about this mosquito.
In a short period of time, he imagined many possibilities in his mind, and then he felt that the most likely one was that this big flower mosquito was probably an Earth adventurer who had the ability to transform into a mosquito or an animal, just like him.
After all, there is no rule that says he is the only one who can transform into a mosquito.
In the Novice Village, he met many adventurers, some who could transform part of their body into a bear, some with huge rhinoceros horns on their heads, and some who could transform their hands into wings. Later, when chatting, Wang Xiao also said that among the hundreds of new warriors in the Novice Village, there were quite a few who had awakened animal powers, at least one-third of them.
So Wu Xiangwang looked at the big mosquito flying around him for a while and decided to ignore it for the time being.
No matter whether this mosquito is a human adventurer, a disabled indigenous mosquito here, or even something even stranger, as long as this guy doesn't suddenly rush over to attack him, they can live in peace.
Well, even if a fight really breaks out, if he can't win, he can just turn back into a human and slap the mosquito to death, so he has nothing to be afraid of.
And now he didn't have the extra time to pay attention to this big flower mosquito——
Brother Bin and his team were about to leave the dance hall, and he had to catch up quickly.
So Mosquito Xiangwang increased his flying altitude and followed the team of more than 40 adventurers in work clothes to the back of the ballroom.
The big flower mosquito did not make trouble and followed behind him with a very elegant flapping of wings.
As long as the big flower mosquitoes don't cause trouble, I feel a little more at ease.
At this time, Brother Bin and his group had already walked out of the gorgeous and bright ballroom, and were walking nervously along the passage leading to the kitchen and the vegetable garden behind.
This passage and the ballroom don't look like they belong in the same building at all—
The ballroom is spacious and bright, and every piece of furnishing inside is exquisite and gorgeous without any flaws or old-fashioned feeling.
However, this passage is dark and winding, and even the ground under your feet is not very flat. There is not even a single lighting lamp along the entire passage. The further you go forward, the less light you can see.
More than forty people followed the old weirdo silently and walked down for about ten minutes.
One adventurer finally couldn't stand the silent and dark atmosphere anymore and asked out loud.
"...Um, butler? How long does this road take? Is this really the way to the kitchen and the vegetable patch in the back garden? Why are there no lights or other doors along the way?"
But the strange butler walking ahead didn't answer the adventurer's question. This made many of the people following him feel that something was amiss, and some even tried to speak to the strange butler.
"Housekeeper? How many days will we be working in the kitchen and vegetable garden? What are the main tasks? Can you tell us? I'm a little nervous."
"Also, we didn't mean to dress like this. It's just that this is the only piece of clothing we have, and we didn't realize that dressing like this would be disrespectful to the wealthy Jacks. Next time, next time, we'll definitely wear our most gorgeous clothes to the ball!"
So this time, can you please consider that this is our first offense and not take it too seriously?"
"Yes, Mr. Butler, we really have no other options. We didn't mean to offend you!"
"That's right, we all accept punishment for our mistakes, but can we just help out tonight? You don't have to keep us here for several days, right?"
But the old butler still did not answer their questions, and even the speed of his steps forward did not change.
This made everyone, who were already on edge, even more nervous, and at this moment someone exclaimed:
"Wait! I, I think I just stepped on something weird? It looks like a big tumor?!"
"Also, why does the road beneath my feet feel so slippery and difficult to walk on? Where does this road lead to? Hey, you weird butler, explain clearly! This doesn't look like the road to the kitchen or the vegetable garden, does it?!"
Following the human adventurer's frightened questioning, Brother Bin and his group, who were originally walking forward together, all stopped.
Everyone began to subconsciously observe the dim road, and their expressions became worse and worse.
If Wu Xiangwang, who was above the passage at this moment, could make an expression, then the expression on his face would definitely be very ugly -
He realized that something was wrong with this road earlier than these people.
A mosquito's antennae can keenly capture information about the distant and surrounding environment through tiny streams of air. From the moment he walked out of the ballroom, his antennae caught the rotten, damp smell coming from the road ahead.
It smelled like a sewer that hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and it didn't feel like a corridor leading to a magnificent hall at all.
In order to avoid being discovered by the weirdness and adventurers here, he deliberately increased his flying altitude after entering the corridor.
It is best to have the kind that can fly close to the wall. After all, there are barbs on the six thin legs of the mosquito, which can easily cling to any place and hang upside down on the ceiling.
But when he flew to a certain height, the big flower mosquito that had been following him obediently suddenly flew above him and pressed directly on him, scaring him so much that he immediately lowered his flying altitude.
Wu Xiangwang thought that the big mosquito was finally going to attack him, but after forcing him down, this guy flew quietly beside him, circling around him and stretching out his mosquito legs.
After a brief moment of confusion for three seconds, Wu Xiangwang suddenly looked up at the wall above his head.
That's not a wall at all!
That thing that emits a slight heat, a little bit of moisture and a bloody smell can't be any building material. Instead, it is more like a... deadly living creature.
Once he had this guess, Wu Xiangwang couldn't help but think that if he had continued flying upwards, his wings might have been wet by the damp "wall", and then he would have been like a poor little insect that fell into the water or a spider web, unable to continue flying.
Although he wouldn't die, the way he tried to break free would definitely make quite a noise, and then everything that followed would become troublesome and dangerous.
All right.
Mosquito Xiangwang looked at the big colorful mosquito that was spinning in circles and stretching its legs towards him. He was speechless but inexplicably wanted to laugh.
This guy just saved him once, right?
So the black and white mosquito, which was a circle smaller than the big flower mosquito, followed it in a small circle when the big flower mosquito stretched out its legs again to invite it to spin in circles.
Well, just consider it as a thank you gift for reminding him just now.
It would have been better if the big mosquito hadn't stepped on his back when reminding him.
However, his reaction obviously made the big flower mosquito very happy, so the big flower mosquito turned faster and stretched its legs more frequently.
But Mosquito, who thought he had already paid, coldly ignored its invitation and watched carefully what was happening below.
At this time, Brother Bin and the others who were walking in this dark and somewhat weird corridor had all stopped, and all activated their special abilities to take defensive or even offensive postures.
They had discovered that there was something very wrong with this road. Not only had the walls become slippery and soft, but the faint damp and foul smell coming from the front was something they could not ignore no matter what.
This is definitely not the way to go to the kitchen and backyard!
More than forty people gathered back to back and began to shout at the old butler who had not responded in front.
"Why are you still silent?! Tell us where you're taking us! If you don't tell us, you're going to blame us for being rude!"
"Why are you still wasting your time with Him? There's something clearly wrong with this place! I think we should hurry back to the banquet hall! Who knows what kind of deadly place we might end up if we follow Him!"
"Yeah, I think we should go back. There's something really wrong with this passage. Whose walls are so soft and sticky? And I feel like the walls around me are getting slippery, and the path is getting harder and harder to walk on."
As everyone talked and felt, they felt more and more that something was wrong with this place and that they could not continue to follow this old butler.
But the old housekeeper just stood there and refused to speak. At this moment, Brother Bin kept thinking about Wu Xiangwang's reminder that he should "dress appropriately" to attend the ball. He was the most anxious one and said on the spot:
"What are you going to say to him? We just walked out not long ago, can't we just go back the same way?!"
After he finished speaking, he was the first to turn around and run back.
At this moment, he could still see from a distance the dimly lit door at the front of this dark and winding passage.
He thought that at his fastest speed, it would only take him a minute! No, he could run back to the ballroom in thirty seconds! He was now a second-level speedster!
The monsters in the City of Peace are all friendly and won't kill! So as long as he runs out of sight, he'll be safe!
Almost there, almost there!!
He is getting closer and closer to the door!
However, just when Brother Bin was less than fifty meters away from the door and he thought he could push the door open in the next second, his running legs suddenly slipped.
He rushed forward too fast, and even though he reacted immediately, he was unable to steady himself and fell headfirst.
At this moment, Brother Bin roared and stretched out his arms to support himself on the ground, determined to stand up and continue running forward the moment he fell. However, when his hands touched the "ground" that had become very soft and slippery, he was shocked to find that he could not pull his hands off the "ground".
A thin layer of mucus had gathered on the "ground" at some point, and this mucus now covered his hands and feet, pulling at him, sticking to him, and making it completely impossible for him to stand up and continue running.
Brother Bin looked in disbelief at his hands and legs that were stuck tightly with mucus. He raised his head and looked forward. The door leading to the dance hall was right in front of him, just one step away.
Just one more step forward! He can return to that happy and safe place!
"No, no, no, no! I can't die here!"
Brother Bin screamed with a pale face, and began to use all his strength to pull his hands and legs out of the mucus.
"I can go back! I can go back soon! I've only been to two main cities, and I'm only thirty years old! How can I die here!!!"
Wu Xiangwang, who was flying in the air, watched Brother Bin gritting his teeth and frantically pulling his hands outwards. He used so much force that his face was deformed and his eyes were bloodshot!
Finally, he pulled his hands free.
But at this time, his hands had turned into white bones with only a trace of blood left - the increasingly sticky mucus tore off the skin and flesh of his hands and digested them in a very short time.
Brother Bin was stunned for a moment as he looked at his hands that had turned into bones. Then he let out an even more crazy and terrified scream and began to pull his feet hard.
Because he had shoes on his feet, Brother Bin quickly pulled one foot out of the shoe, but he then discovered something that made him even more desperate -
At this time, the short step in front of him was filled with mucus, and this last step required him to step his foot back into the mucus.
But if you step in, how do you pull it out? !
Brother Bin stared at the distance ahead with his eyes wide open. He had never felt that this step was so difficult to take.
At this time, the others who were running back with him were also stuck to the "ground" by those years.
This sudden change made every adventurer in the aisle turn pale with shock.
But they would not accept their fate of being devoured at this time.
The forty-plus adventurers all possessed special abilities. Among them, the calmer ones shouted, "Everyone, calm down! Don't move around or run around. Running around will only get us covered in more slime!"
"Does anyone have wood-type skills and can get some boards? We can just place the boards on the slime and move through! Or maybe try fire-type skills and see if we can burn the slime off!"
"I'm defensive! I can conjure up three steel plates! But three isn't enough!"
"I'll do it! I'm an ice type, let me freeze all this slime!"
"Tsk, did you think I couldn't go back just by fixing our feet? I have the bloodline of the White-headed Sparrow with special abilities! If I can't walk, can't I fly?!"
After only a few seconds of panic, the trapped psychics tried to calm down and began to use their own magical powers to try to leave this strange passage.
The defensive psychics used their defensive objects to quickly build a bridge, and the ice psychic was able to freeze the slime that stuck to his feet and then break it up, so he could continue to move forward.
As for the young man with the special ability of the white-headed bird bloodline, he simply spread his hands and transformed them into a pair of white wings. After taking off his shoes, he snorted coldly and rushed towards the door of the ballroom like an arrow.
At this time, Wu Xiangwang was also flying back quickly.
As soon as he realized that something was wrong with the passage, he slowed down his pace and continued to follow these people.
When the old butler who was leading the way in front stood there silently like a ghost, Wu Xiangwang felt an extremely strong sense of crisis in his heart, and his instinct told him to fly back as fast as possible.
It's a pity that he is not a speedster, and after turning into a mosquito, the distance that was not too far was suddenly expanded several times. Even if he reacted quickly and flew back, he still didn't fly to where Brother Bin was standing.
At this moment, the tiny hairs on his tattoo exploded, and it was a terrifying "fatal feeling" like a mosquito about to be swatted to death.
At this moment, Wu Xiangwang suddenly flapped his wings and moved to the side in an instant, and then he saw a drop of dark brown mucus falling from above his head.
If he hadn't teleported just now, the drop of mucus would probably have landed accurately on his head or body, and directly knocked him into the ground.
"Om fuck!"
Even Wu Xiangwang couldn't help but curse.
However, he no longer had the energy to continue cursing——
Slime began to drip down from the "ceiling" of the entire passage like rain.
Wu Xiangwang could only curse madly in his heart while flapping his wings to avoid the slime and fly forward.
But the dark brown slime was falling faster and faster, and its density was increasing. It was like rain, which started slowly but eventually became a torrential downpour that was impossible to avoid.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Day after day after day!
Wu Xiangwang narrowly avoided four drops of falling mucus, but found that his speed and strength were decreasing uncontrollably.
Just as he was gritting his teeth and thinking about whether to just rush out from here, the big flower mosquito that had been following him gracefully suddenly exploded at this moment -
Wu Xiangwang suddenly felt his mosquito-like back being hugged by four spindly legs. Before he could react, he saw the surrounding scenery rapidly receding.
Even those seemingly unavoidable dense "slime raindrops" were dodged accurately, and not a single drop could land on him.
It feels like an extremely thrilling aerial car chase.
However, it turned out that he was not the one driving.
But it was the big mosquito that was flying with him in its arms!
Don’t forget each other: “…”
He stretched out his thin legs and rubbed his face.
Otherwise, how can we say it is a weird world?
Two mosquitoes are driving a car.
The big flower mosquito drives his flying car very fast and well, which shows that he is an experienced driver with a long history of flying.
Wu Xiangwang only counted to three in his mind before he was brought by the big flower mosquito to the door leading to the ballroom, which seemed out of reach and was dimly lit.
The moment it landed on the door, Wu Xiangwang finally felt a little relieved. At least he wouldn't suddenly become strange and attract the attention of the strange people here, and then attract another wave of pursuit.
But other people don't have the same luck and opportunities as him.
When they walked into this corridor, they were destined to become "food" from which they could not escape.
Wu Xiangwang saw that the psychic who had transformed into wings had his wings quickly soaked by the dense mucus falling from the sky, and was pressed heavily to the ground.
Even when his entire body was engulfed by the slime, he still had an expression of disbelief on his face.
Those psychics who used defensive objects to build bridges could no longer walk on the "bridge" covered with mucus. Their bodies were soon soaked and covered by the brown mucus, as if they had turned into motionless little bugs wrapped in amber.
A defensive ability user roared and built an enclosed defensive space around his body.
That way the slime won't be able to reach him anymore.
But he soon despaired.
Because the mucus actually began to smoke and began to corrode his defense.
It was not until this time that the strange butler who had been standing at the front of the team without saying a word finally began to laugh.
"Why are you walking?"
"Once it's in my esophagus, it's my food. No one can leave."
Following His words, the dark and slippery passage suddenly began to shrink and close!
A moment later, the passage to death disappeared, and Wu Xiangwang suddenly felt the dazzling light.
That's the light in the corridor.
At this time, Wu Xiangwang, who was sticking to the door, looked at the old man who had retracted his esophagus and walked towards the door step by step with satisfaction.
There is a struggling fish that has escaped the net at the door.
At this time, Brother Bin's upper body was covered with a lot of mucus, making a sizzling sound as if it was corroded. His hands were only left with bones, but he was using his last bit of strength to push the door.
At the last moment he tore off his shirt and used it as a stepping stone to jump over.
He originally thought that he could finally escape from this nightmare, but he despairingly discovered that he could not push the door open.
He can't push it away!!
“Ah, ah! Open it, open it quickly!! Why won’t you open the door!?”
Brother Bin banged on the door like a madman, his voice hoarse.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here! Don't eat me, don't eat me!! Don't you in the City of Peace not kill people?! Don't you treat all humans with kindness?! Why do you want to eat us?"
"You don't keep your word! You deceived us!"
"This isn't the City of Peace at all. You're lying to us!"
Brother Bin roared with tears streaming down his face, cursing madly at first, but when the strange old housekeeper walked in front of him, he fell to his knees with a plop:
"Please, please spare me! Don't kill me, I don't want to die! As long as you spare me, I will do anything! Spare me, spare me!! I am willing to do anything!"
The old butler stopped.
Then, Wu Xiangwang heard the conversation that sent chills down his spine.
"Oh, then is it okay for you to be a weird dog, a murderous dog?"
Brother Bin was stunned for three seconds, then gritted his teeth:
"OK!!"
