An unknown valley with lush vegetation and various medicinal herbs growing well.
A team of three, two women and one man, was collecting herbs.
"We were able to stay in the secret realm for more than 20 days this time, and only one day has passed since we left. This secret realm feels so magical."
"How many attribute points do you think we can increase after we go out?"
"A friend of mine came here yesterday and she said her attribute points increased by over 70!"
"Over 70? That's too much, right? My three attributes combined are less than 30 now. Wouldn't a trip to the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm double that?"
"Yeah, we have to thank Meng Meng and the others for this. They let us in for free with such great props, it's almost like charity."
The three players chatted while collecting herbs, which was quite relaxing.
But they had no idea that danger was coming.
The only male player in the team was quite far away from the other two girls. He was bending over to collect when he suddenly heard a slight rustling sound behind him.
It sounded like a snake crawling.
He immediately turned around to check, but was bitten on the neck by Feng Yiming who was coming towards him.
The male player struggled to make a sound, trying to let the two girls not far away hear the noise and run away quickly, but he only had time to let out a very short gasp before he died.
Feng Yiming greedily sucked his warm blood, as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.
The swallowing sound he made finally alarmed a female player named "Sunny Rain".
She looked over with some confusion and saw an extremely horrifying scene.
A half-human, half-snake monster was greedily sucking the blood of the male teammate, but the male teammate was motionless and his face was pale, obviously dead!
"There's a monster!" Qingtian Xiaoyu took out a bow and shot an arrow at Feng Yiming.
Another female player named "Tingting" was shocked and quickly picked up a bow and arrow to join the battle.
Feather arrows whizzed towards Feng Yiming, but were all blocked by the scales on his body.
The feather arrows couldn't hurt him at all!
Qingtian Xiaoyu was shocked: "What kind of monster is this?"
Tingting gritted her teeth: "I don't know, but this monster is far more powerful than us. We need to inform the leader quickly!"
Then he quickly sent a message in the group.
When Feng Yiming heard them calling him "monster", his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
He threw away the body that had been sucked into a mummy and moved his snake tail towards the two of them.
He was extremely fast and arrived in front of Tingting in the blink of an eye. Tingting was shocked and did not forget to pull Qingtian Xiaoyu back, but she was bitten on the neck by Feng Yiming.
When Qingtian Xiaoyu saw this, she immediately took out a dagger and stabbed Feng Yiming, but his scales were too hard and the dagger could not penetrate them.
Tingting, who was bitten, uttered with difficulty: "Run... away!"
After saying this, the light in her eyes completely died out.
Qingtian Xiaoyu's eyes were red. He took one last look at Tingting, put away the dagger and left quickly.
…
Qin Jiu led Chengzi and Tan Yue to defeat monsters along the way, making the monsters terrified.
Suddenly, Chengzi said seriously, "Team leader, please check the group chat. It seems someone has sent a distress message!"
Qin Jiu immediately clicked into the group.
Tingting: "[Location], there is a monster"
This message has not been sent out yet, and the person who sent it may be in danger.
Qin Jiu: "You two go collect herbs first, I'll go over and take a look."
Orange: "I'll go with you! If there's danger, there's safety in numbers."
"No need." Qin Jiu left after saying this.
Chengzi wanted to go and help, but Tan Yue held her back and said, "Forget it. The two of us are far less powerful than the leader. Going will only cause trouble for her and slow her down. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. Even a second of delay could lead to irreversible consequences."
Orange gave up and said with a worried look on his face: "I hope nothing happens."
…
When Qin Jiu arrived at the scene, there were only two boxes left. She squatted around and looked carefully. She found that in addition to bloodstains on the grass, there were also indentations of something crawling on it.
There were also a few feather arrows scattered around.
She searched a small area around her but found no other boxes.
It is now confirmed that there are only two players who have died.
Now we have to find the last player of this team as soon as possible to find out what happened.
Qin Jiu immediately sent a message in the group: "If Tingting's teammates see this, please private message me immediately!"
As soon as this message was sent, a video message came in, it was sunny and drizzling.
Qin Jiu answered the call immediately, and a girl with red eyes appeared on the screen. She should be hiding in a cave.
Qingtian Xiaoyu spoke first: "I'm Tingting's teammate. We just encountered a monster with a human upper body and a snake lower body. It..."
She choked up a bit at this point, but knew time was running out and she had to tell the leader everything she knew. So, she suppressed her grief and continued, "It bit two of my teammates to death and sucked their blood dry. My bow and arrows couldn't do any harm to it..."
Qin Jiu keenly heard a rustling sound under her voice, but Qingtian Xiaoyu didn't notice anything about it.
Qin Jiu was shocked: "Get out of there first!"
The next moment, the video was disconnected and Qingtian Xiaoyu's profile picture turned black.
Qin Jiu punched the tree, but still failed to save her!
Cave!
She was very familiar with the terrain here and knew there was a cave nearby!
Qin Jiu had no time to feel sad and quickly headed for the cave.
The crowd was also in an uproar.
A sleepy bug: "What happened? Is Tingting okay?"
Yun Lingyao: "I'm afraid it's not good. There were people in our group chat at the beginning, but now there are only 9997 people left."
"Didn't they say there was no danger? How come three people died?"
Yan Jing: "Could it be that the experience points were distributed unevenly, and some teams started fighting among themselves?"
The chief disciple of Jiejiao, Duobao Demon God: "Internal strife shouldn't lead to murder, right? I don't think anyone in our group has a cruel personality."
Xingyuewanwana: "I think a very powerful monster has appeared."
Orange: "Don't panic, everyone. The team leader has already taken care of this matter. Trust her."
Xue Yuanping: "That's right, the leader is so strong, we don't need to worry. Even if there are powerful monsters, they will probably have to take a detour when they see her."
“…”
Qin Jiu found Qingtian Xiaoyu in the cave, who had not yet turned into a box.
Her death was so tragic that Qin Jiu, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't bear to watch it again.
But Qingtian Xiaoyu was holding tightly in her hand a small black scale, which was the only thing she had left.
Qin Jiu picked up the scale and said in a sad voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
If Sunny Xiaoyu had hidden quietly in this cave without making any noise, perhaps he could have escaped the disaster.
But she chose to provide herself with information, which exposed her position.
She would never let her death be in vain.
