Chapter 017
The male trainee's bracelet broke, and he disappeared after a while. He was eliminated.
The witch's time had not yet come, and she could not leave the magic castle yet. Shijiu had no choice but to leave her in the magic castle. The witch's transformation into a pig also had a time limit, and in about three hours, the witch could transform back.
Shi Jiu was worried and gave the witch a lot of instructions, telling her to remember to hide well and not to be discovered by the trainees.
The witch pig nodded proudly, indicating that she would be obedient.
Not long after Shijiu left the magic castle, he heard the game prompts.
[The game rankings have been released, please check. 】
Shijiu opened it and took a look. He saw that many trainees had already opened the combination lock.
Currently, five trainees have opened two combination locks, and they are ranked the highest.
Shi Jiu thought that she needed to speed up.
The most important thing now is to find her teammates.
This dungeon is quite large, so finding teammates is completely a matter of luck. However, you don't necessarily need your former teammates; as long as you find five people to work together, you can open the combination lock.
Shijiu immediately circled around several times and finally saw a familiar figure near the volcano.
It’s Jin Meng.
She is now being hunted by two other trainees.
Jin Meng was now running like a little rabbit, sprinting forward without a care in the world. The two trainees behind her were also two girls with relatively low skills, and their physical strength was probably not as good as Jin Meng's. Soon, Jin Meng was leaving them further and further behind.
After finally getting rid of the two trainees, Jin Meng hadn't had time to rejoice when she suddenly felt someone approaching from behind. She wanted to turn around immediately, but before she could move, the person behind her covered her mouth.
Jin Meng was so scared that she opened her eyes wide, and her big watery eyes were filled with fear.
No way, there are no human traffickers in the game!
[Bullet screen]: Ahhhh, Jiu's action just now was so handsome!
[Bullet screen]: I have to say, Ajiu's action is very much like that of a human trafficker.
[Bullet screen]: The sense of immersion is so strong, I feel like I'm about to be abducted by her.
Jin Meng was almost crying, but before the tears fell, she heard someone behind her say, "Shh, don't talk."
The voice is very, familiar.
Jin Meng forced herself to hold back her tears.
She was very obedient and didn't make a sound. Soon she heard the sound of a trainee passing by not far from her. "Hey, I just saw her running towards this side. Why is she gone?"
"Did I see it wrong?"
"That's possible."
"Then shall we look over there?"
"good."
Jin Meng was horrified to find that there were trainees lying in ambush here. If she hadn't met Shi Jiu, she would have been eliminated.
Shi Jiu didn't let go of Jin Meng until all the trainees had left. Jin Meng was so excited that she almost jumped on Shi Jiu, "Ah Jiu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Finally found you, woooooo."
"You know, luckily you gave me the NPC information. I encountered the faceless woman right at the beginning, and I happened to have seen her weakness in the information before, so I was able to escape."
Jin Meng had been playing alone most of the time since she entered the game, so it was a great achievement for her to have managed to hold on until now. Whenever she encountered Shi Jiu, it was like meeting a relative; she couldn't stop talking.
After listening to her, Shi Jiu smiled and asked, "Why did those trainees chase you?"
Jin Meng turned around and pointed in a direction, "Ajiu, look over there, that volcano."
"Did you see that? There's a password box halfway up the volcano."
"I noticed the password box before and approached the volcano, but I didn't expect there was an ambush of trainees near the volcano."
Jin Meng patted his heart and said, "Fortunately, I ran fast."
Shi Jiu looked in the direction Jin Meng pointed, and there was indeed a combination lock halfway up the volcano.
"I saw a combination lock at the faceless woman's place before. I wonder if it has been unlocked by anyone now." Jin Meng said.
Shi Jiu looked up and said, "Probably not yet."
Seeing the confusion in Jin Meng's eyes, Shi Jiu explained, "If the combination lock is unlocked, it will glow."
Shi Jiu pointed in a direction and said, "Look over there."
Jin Meng looked up, and it was like discovering a new world, "It turns out there really is a beam of light!"
The color of the light column is not very dark and can be completely overlooked if you don't look carefully.
Jin Meng looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the password box on the volcano. She glanced at Shi Jiu and asked softly, "Are we going up?"
Shi Jiu didn't hesitate: "Go."
As if she had a backbone, Jin Meng's voice became firmer, "Okay!"
"But what if we don't have enough people?" Jin Meng asked with a frown.
"If you can hide it, hide it. If you can't hide it, destroy it."
“........”
"Good idea." Jin Meng silently gave a thumbs up.
[Bullet screen]: Hahahahahahahahaha, is Jiu going to start hiding the password box again?
[Bullet comment]: Ajiu is about to become a big user of password boxes.
[Bullet comment]: I wonder if she still remembers where she hid the safe?
The two of them soon reached the bottom of the volcano. Jin Meng looked up at the volcano and then remembered something. She approached Shi Jiu and whispered, "Jiu, it seems there's a particularly fierce NPC on the volcano. Many players who went up there before were beaten down by the NPC."
"It's okay, don't worry." Shi Jiu was observing the front and heard Jin Meng's somewhat worried tone, so he spoke to comfort her.
Jin Meng also felt relieved following Shi Jiu.
I don’t know why, but I feel very safe when I’m with Ajiu!
Having been to this place before, Jin Meng had already noticed the two trainee teams at the bottom of the volcano. The atmosphere between them seemed tense, and it looked like a fight was about to break out. However, they were at the entrance to the volcano, so if they wanted to enter, they had to pass by them.
"Ajiu, they're blocking the entrance to the volcano."
Shi Jiu glanced back and said, "Well, so we won't go up the mountain from that place."
Jin Meng was confused: "Is there another entrance?"
"Come with me."
Jin Meng followed Shi Jiu for a while and saw a small intersection. However, there was a sign near the intersection that said the path was impassable and there was also a skull painted on it.
Generally speaking, a path with a sign like this is a path you really shouldn't take, or you'll be eliminated. However, there's also a possibility that the sign is fake and the path is actually possible.
However, the chance of being able to walk appearing in the dungeon is very small, so generally no trainees are willing to take the risk.
Shi Jiu walked over and moved the sign away. "It's just a misleading sign."
Shi Jiu started to share some trivia again, "It's true that road signs can't be moved."
Jin Meng: “So that’s how it is!”
[Bullet screen]: Oh, so that’s how it is!
【Bullet screen】: So that’s how it is!
[Bullet comment]: I’ve been playing this game for three years and this is the first time I’ve heard of this. So that’s what it’s like!
【Bullet comment】: Is this true? I still remain skeptical.
But after they walked for a while, the audience who originally didn't believe Shijiu were slapped in the face, it turned out to be a small path!
So… I feel sorry for the trainees fighting in the crater for a second!
"When you see the NPC later, you must cry." Shi Jiu said as he walked up.
"The more you cry, the better."
"Do you know?"
Jin Meng nodded: "Yeah!"
I don’t know why, but I just nodded!
Shi Jiu's mouth seemed to be blessed. Not long after she finished saying this, Jin Meng saw the NPC on the volcano.
The NPC is a very strong man with curly red hair, a very rough scar on his face, and muscles visible all over his body. He also holds a very scary-looking axe in his hand.
He was walking towards them with a fierce look in his eyes.
Jin Meng's throat moved and she subconsciously took a step back.
Wow, why is the NPC so fierce this time? He looks like he wants to chop them into pieces.
There was no need for Shijiu to remind her, Jin Meng was almost scared to tears.
"Ajiu, what should we do?" Jin Meng asked in a trembling voice.
The axe was moving very fast. Before Shijiu could reply, the axe had already reached them and raised the axe in its hand.
Jin Meng really couldn't control herself anymore, she closed her eyes and said, "Wooooooaaaaaaaaaaa."
Jin Meng, who had her eyes closed, had no idea that when he saw her crying, the originally ferocious axe just stood there in a daze.
Then he scratched his head helplessly and looked at Shijiu who was standing calmly beside him.
Shi Jiu didn't say anything, just gave him a look.
It's like saying, if you make someone cry, you'll have to figure it out yourself.
Jin Meng sobbed for a long time, but unexpectedly, she didn't feel any pain. She sobbed and opened her eyes, and then saw a terrifying face very close to her.
"Ahhhhhhhh." Jin Meng subconsciously slapped the big face in front of her.
The beaten axe: "..........."
Axe is wronged.
Jin Meng finally realized what she had just done. She had actually beaten an NPC? A vicious NPC?
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, I’m going to die!
Big Axe finally moved. Just when Jin Meng thought he was going to eliminate her, Big Axe took out a fresh little pink flower from somewhere and handed it to Jin Meng.
Jin Meng looked up at the big axe whose face was twitching as if he was laughing, then looked down at the small flower in his hand.
Jin Meng fell into deep confusion: "???"
