Chapter 159 Super Jolio
God is not as good as we imagined.
"Which bastard is leading this road? Ahhhhh——"
A few screams echoed over the Mushroom Plain, but they were already in a dilemma and could only rely on the jumping ability of their red boots to save their lives.
After all, not only the ground roads will collapse, but the stone slabs suspended in the air will also fall.
Moreover, compared to the spacious grassland on the ground, the stone path about one meter wide in the air is windy when running.
It seems like the wind will grab your collar and throw you off in the next second.
This feeling becomes more obvious the higher you climb.
The player who was chasing into the sky from behind regretted it for a moment, but then the strong wind in the sky blew him away, and he seemed to feel refreshed, without that dizzy and poisoned feeling anymore.
At least, at least, I survived.
The young security guard, who had been so arrogant before, swallowed his saliva in fear and stared at Qiao Song's back, not daring to look to the sides.
He was considered to be in good physical condition, and he started working in the security team at a young age, thinking that the salary and benefits were good, with five insurances and one fund, and plenty of vacation time. However, the residential complex was built by a state-owned enterprise, and the outsourced property security team could not eat for free, so they often organized training.
For the first time, the young security guard was grateful for the on-the-job training that made him curse every day.
It’s okay, it’s just like climbing a mountain. Just don’t look to the side and it will be fine.
After he regained consciousness, the young security guard rushed forward grabbing his baton, pressing the intercom hard and continuing to call for his boss.
But there had been no sound coming from that side for a long time.
It was at this time that the delivery guy, wearing red boots, passed him directly.
[Isn't it an unspoken rule that takeaways must be delivered to your door? 】
[Carry any items, go upstairs, climb hills, and other physically demanding environments, and your physical fitness will be doubled]
If it is in a residential building corridor, this skill can enhance the body even more, but it is enough for now.
The young man has discovered that following the right person and choosing the right path are more important than getting a few props.
They were the second echelon behind Qiao Song, and they were also the group of people who quickly recovered from the mushroom poisoning state after using their skills.
It’s a pity that all those mushrooms on the grass are probably wasted.
You know, mature mushrooms are props!
But you have to have the life to pick them up and the life to spend them. Fortunately, there are mushrooms on the top.
Some people have already taken off their hats, preparing to imitate Qiao Song's previous actions and use their hats to remotely attack bricks and stones. After all, there are many people around and it would be ridiculous to jump up and hit the bricks with their heads as before, and it would also be difficult to prevent other players from making a move.
But everyone soon realized that they were overthinking. There was no point in trying to do anything on such a narrow path. They were lucky enough not to fall.
"Old Five, do you still have that flying cannon? Give me one, the road here is too narrow!"
At the beginning, the fitness coach could flexibly jump onto these narrow paths and bring his childhood friend up with him.
He was indeed quite strong, and if conditions permitted, he could even carry Lao Wu on his back for a run, but he had a fatal flaw -
He is a little afraid of heights.
Fireworks Master Lao Wu had recovered a lot by now, and trotted after him. Upon hearing this, he quickly took out his backpack and said, "Pangbo, look forward, don't look to the sides! Don't be afraid if your legs are weak, just think of Mario's boots!"
Red boots not only have good jumping ability, but also help players run more comfortably.
There were several people who had taken off their shoes like Qiao Song, and they haven't put all three pieces of clothing back together yet.
In order to regain your jumping ability, you do need to put your shoes back on, but this is not necessarily the case with your hat.
Especially after getting rid of the miasma jungle formed by mushrooms on the ground, the road built with stone slabs hanging in the air, every time you climb higher, your heart will pound wildly.
Not only because of the height, but also because of the excitement.
"Damn, it's really worth it, this brick looks like it's full of props!"
Every time you break one of those shiny little blocks, a mushroom will pop out from it, slide forward for a while, and then fall down.
The only difficulty is that if there is no landing stone slab at the falling position, the player has to find the right time to jump out and hold the mushroom in his arms before the loot falls off the cliff.
Only when the mushroom is touched by the gloves can it be turned into a badge and hung on the clothes.
If you still do the same as before and just use the hat on your head to break the bricks, there will be too many variables in the middle. Who would be willing to wear something on their head and hit the wall?
So, a group of players only wore gloves and shoes, took off their hats and used them as long-range throwing weapons, and continued to carefully plan the mushroom props.
Only Aunt Huo and the old man riding the ostrich were unmoved.
Aunt Huo didn't want to let the cats take risks just for a few mushrooms.
High jumping is a piece of cake for the little kitten. Even though the road is as narrow as one meter, the Maine Coon can even take some time to curiously glance at the ostrich not far away.
If Maine hadn't been carrying Aunt Huo on his back, he would have stretched out his claws to play with the bird for a while.
The old man gave up the mushrooms in the air purely to save his life.
The ostrich is actually not that big. Mr. Chai has installed a seat on its back. It is sturdy, but it runs very fast. The skinny old man is thrown around like a baby.
If the old man had not hung some soft cloth strips around the ostrich's neck as brakes in advance, the ostrich would have already become part of the first echelon.
After all, those two thick claws are not for nothing.
But his psychological quality is not as good as that of a cat. In order to prevent his old friend from being scared and taking off on the spot, the old man would pat the ostrich's butt every time he encountered speeding.
"Hey, old buddy, be steady. I don't expect to grab the props anymore. We just need to not be left behind. Slow down, don't go too fast. If you miss a step, both of us will be finished!"
The ostrich called out, but I don't know if it understood or not.
There's no other way. I'm an old man and can't withstand a few jumps even wearing Mario's red boots. I might as well take a gamble with the ostrich I raise.
Having said that, Mr. Chai was also holding a chicken coop in his hand.
"If a mushroom hits me in the face, it would be a waste if I don't take it, old man."
What he said was not groundless. Hitting the mushroom on the ceiling on flat ground and hitting it in the air are two completely different feelings. If you are not careful, you will fall down.
Mushrooms that have not been touched by the red gloves will continue to slide on the road and fall to the next step until they completely slide into the cliff, or are touched by the red gloves and turned into badges hanging on the player.
After jumping into the sky and climbing a certain distance, the players have stabilized at a fixed altitude, but some are higher and some are lower.
Mr. Chai chose a position a little lower.
This results in players who like to work at high altitudes occasionally missing one or two mushrooms.
They actually locked him in a chicken coop, and finally took him out with a glove and turned it into a badge hanging on his body.
Even if other players saw it, they would not dare to mess with this old man. Look at the ostrich's thick thighs. With one kick, he can crush you and the bricks together.
Not only that, the ostrich's eyeballs are larger than its brain, and its eyesight is very good, allowing it to see enemies three or four kilometers away.
Feeling that his old friend suddenly made a strange cry, Old Man Chai looked into the distance in confusion. There were groups of trails hanging in the air like drifting wood.
"What's wrong? Is there anything ahead?"
I don't see many players in front.
This time the ostrich began to slow down on its own initiative. This guy was timid. Mr. Chai realized almost instantly that there might be something in front that scared the ostrich.
In the entire escape team, only Qiao Song knew what it was.
Monsters came in piles and piles from the front and back.
Their mouths were open and drooling, and their hair was covered in patches, as if they had some kind of skin disease.
The muscles on his body were swollen and it felt like something was trying to come out from under the skin.
Qiao Song almost instantly determined that these monsters were related to mushrooms.
Most likely, he was affected by mushrooms, such as being poisoned in the mushroom miasma areas on the ground before, or he directly ate strange mushrooms and became like this.
The most numerous among them were rabbits. Different from the ones on the ground before, these rabbits were bigger in size, their eyes were redder, and their fur had some bloodshot.
Qiao Song still had his gloves on tightly and his hat on, but he placed the gloves he had snatched from the security guard on top of the hammer.
Before, I used shoes to cover the hammer to attack, and I don’t know if gloves will work.
Bang! The hammer went down - after trying it, it actually works!
It seems that the three-piece suit is not what she thought, with different functions. Perhaps it was designed to be universal from the beginning, so it is all made of red fabric.
After thinking it through, Qiao Song hit one rabbit at a time, and the monsters were knocked away. The points she earned actually doubled, 20 points for each rabbit!
The same goes for the hedgehog. The points have increased from 10 to 20.
A groundhog, which is slightly larger than a rabbit, or even a turtle, can get up to 30 points!
Qiao Song thought back and if she remembered correctly, the auctioneer had told her before leaving that the mushroom badges in the souvenir shop were worth 200 to 500 points each.
In just such a short distance, she killed 5 rabbits, 1 groundhog, and 1 turtle in succession, and got the points of a mushroom in 30 seconds.
Why bother banging your head against the ceiling? Just open your eyes and do it!
No matter how weird the monsters that appeared before him were, each one more bizarre than the last, Qiao Song held the hammer without any mercy and just went up to beat them.
As the number of attacking monsters increased, the red glove on top of the hammer became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qiao Song didn't feel sorry for other people's gloves. Based on her understanding of the players, there would be many people coming to give her equipment. The only thing she had to do now was to seize the time and be at the top of the team to get rid of these monsters.
Just like in games, monsters are also resources.
This is also why the ostrich in Mr. Chai’s family has such good eyesight and discovered the monsters early, but the old man didn’t see any.
Everything is like a dam, blocked by Qiao Song's sluice gate, and the points cannot flow to the back at all.
Even if one or two were missed occasionally, they would be picked up by the delivery guy next to them with his quick eyes and hands.
As for the young security guard who had been following Qiao Song, his brain also worked quickly.
After discovering that Qiao Song had snatched his gloves to wrap the hammer, he quickly took off his other glove, wrapped it around the electric baton and used it to hit the monster.
Although there was no news from his elder brother, he unexpectedly gained some points. He felt complicated as he drank soup with Qiao Song.
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from the walkie-talkie that had been tightly held in my left hand.
Sizzle, sizzle—
The channel seemed to be adjusted slightly, and finally a wheezing sound was heard.
The young security guard waved his baton excitedly: "Brother, is that you? How are you now?!"
He said a long string of things in succession, saying that he was keeping his eyes on the target and not relaxing, and asked when his elder brother would come over.
There seemed to be silence on the other end of the intercom for a while. No one spoke except for the sound of breathing.
It was not until the young security guard shouted several times in confusion that the person on the other end of the intercom spoke.
"Where are you...ho...ho..."
The sound sounded very strange, as if there was something stuck in the throat and the speech was unclear, but when breathing it was like a broken bellows, and the wind was particularly loud.
"Brother, didn't you jump up? The players are all in the sky now, walking on those stone roads in the air. The mushroom-colored fog underground is too scary. After walking through the fog several times before, my head was buzzing, just like I had food poisoning."
The young security guard chattered a lot, but there was only the sound of panting from the other end, and it took a long time to reply.
"I...can't see...you..."
Why does it feel so weird over there, brother?
If he is also on the run, then I can understand it.
The young security guard thought to himself that he was wearing red shoe covers and had to jump a distance onto the stone slab from time to time. The eldest brother was much stronger than him, so of course the noise would be louder.
He continued to report his location.
After the security guard urged him several times, the "big brother" who had difficulty speaking finally spoke: "So... it's... up there..."
"I saw...you..."
The young security guard felt something was wrong with the strange tone of voice, but the elder brother finally answered the intercom, which finally made him feel less isolated and helpless.
However, he was not happy for two seconds before he was frightened by the sudden increase in the number of monsters.
“What the hell is this!”
He used a baton to knock over a rabbit that was about to bite his arm. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a rather disgusting-looking turtle.
The skin all over its body was ulcerated, and the tortoise shell on its back was covered with black, red or yellow fungal mats.
Clusters of tiny but familiar-looking mushrooms are growing from the turtle's back.
Not only did the rabbit grow bigger, but the turtle also became more agile, and was just as good as the rabbit when it stretched its neck to bite him.
This time the young security guard didn't even think twice. He just jumped up in his red boots, stepped on the turtle's back, and jumped onto another stone slab at a high place.
After he landed, he regained his breath.
Only then did he realize that in just a few minutes of his conversation with his eldest brother, the sky was already filled with monsters.
When he was following Qiao Song before, he had already discovered how powerful this female player was. She was a monster that could be exchanged for points. She had killed most of them by herself in the front without even a drop of flesh slipping through her fingers.
Now that such a large-scale monster has fallen out, it can only mean that she can no longer kill them all.
Qiao Song is now really wielding the hammer with great vigor.
Previously it was to gain points, but now it is purely for self-protection. The monsters are increasing too fast, and their shapes are becoming more and more weird.
Qiao Song could gradually see that clusters of mushrooms had appeared on the back of the growing turtle.
After the mushrooms on the turtle's back appeared in clusters, they covered the surrounding area with a very light fluorescent color.
That color doesn't bode well.
Previously on the lawn below, the players collectively suffered a mental shock because they rushed into the colorful mushroom mist.
If this continues, and if so many patches of fog appear on the stone slabs in the sky, the players will fall down layer by layer like dumplings.
Qiao Song observed for a moment and found that the monsters were sliding down one level at a time from the front, just like going down stairs.
It seems that the key to solving the problem is still at the top.
After escaping from the coverage of the colorful mushroom mist, she gave up jumping upwards. After all, the higher she jumped, the more painful it would be when she fell. Now she had no choice but to continue climbing upwards.
As she climbed up, a few players who were used to copying others followed her. Moreover, everyone had seen how Qiao Song fought monsters before.
It has almost become a consensus that only by following her can one save his life.
The head leads the middle, the middle leads the tail, and the fleeing group gradually increases their altitude. However, this makes life difficult for those at the tail of the team, who are either afraid of heights or are physically exhausted.
In addition, the retreat route behind them kept collapsing, and they were far away from the miasma mushroom group on the ground. They were not happy for more than a few seconds and started cursing again.
"You're all rushing to die! And you're jumping up there!"
Even though they were cursing, their previous experience made them understand that it was best to follow the team, otherwise they would end up like the players left on the ground before, not knowing how they got killed.
Fireworks master Lao Wu and fitness coach Pang Bo were also at the back of the team.
Lao Wu is a typical person with poor physical strength. Even wearing Mario's red shoes can only help him jump onto another broken stone slab. He will be out of breath after running two steps.
As for Pangbo, he was simply afraid of heights, and no matter how strong he was, he couldn't stop his legs from shaking.
The two of them almost cling to the fallen stone slabs, encouraging each other and struggling to survive.
As he ran, Pangbo found that he was not as scared as before. The small flying cannon in his hand was given to him by Lao Wu to help him fly in case he accidentally fell. However, he had only used it once or twice so far.
"Old Five, do you feel that the ground seems to be rising?"
When Pangbo discovered that his fear of heights was not that severe, he immediately noticed the abnormal change in altitude.
They were at the end of the team. As the people in front of them moved up, they followed them. But as they climbed, the fitness coach gradually realized that something was wrong.
As a person who is afraid of heights, even if he tilts his head higher and tells himself not to look, he can still keenly sense the sense of emptiness below.
However, this feeling of discomfort disappeared inexplicably and gradually eased.
Could it be that his fear of heights has healed on its own?
After hearing what Pangbo said, Lao Wu, who was lacking in physical strength, lowered his head and was about to help him take a look, but he saw a very unexpected scene.
The sense of vastness that expanded the downward vision after taking off has been greatly weakened, replaced by the approaching green and the colorful mist that flashes from time to time.
That’s not right. They were clearly already climbing up, so how could the grass be getting closer and closer?
And why did that colorful fog appear again? !
Lao Wu immediately yelled, "Something's wrong... Pangbo is climbing up! Something is catching up below!"
Pangbo thought that the speed at which the stone stairs were falling was almost catching up with them. After all, the road in the sky would continue to collapse, and it had been forcing the players to move forward in the same way before.
Unexpectedly, Lao Wu's voice was quite anxious. He even took out a string of firecrackers, lit them, and threw them directly under the cliff.
The crackling sound attracted the attention of some players.
The players who were also at the end had seen them use firework barrels that could be launched into the air to assist in flying forward, and they thought that the collapsed stone road had caught up with them, but when they subconsciously looked back, they were all frightened to the point of numbness all over.
All they saw was a layer of green grass and colorful mist on the ground, getting closer and closer to them. Even though the players had tried hard to jump onto the stone slabs, they could still see the approaching fog.
The previous experience of being dizzy due to the colorful fog is still fresh in our minds. Many people know that they may get food poisoning once they enter the fog.
If you encounter this kind of debuff while jumping in the air, you will probably end up like a bug that has been sprayed with insecticide!
This time the figure jumping up was more eager.
But what is even more creepy is what is in the fog.
Distinctive human silhouettes were walking through the fog. They looked confused and uttered unclear words.
Several of them even looked quite familiar, as they were players they had seen before.
A very tall and strong man, with a scar on his head, scratched his cheek and accidentally scraped off a large piece of flesh.
He felt no pain at all. He just glanced at the huge team in the sky and smiled, with almost all his teeth falling out.
"So... you guys... are up there..."
Qiao Song didn’t know what happened next, she just had a very strange feeling, as if there was a hole in the sky and monsters were constantly coming out of the hole.
While continuing to climb and jump upwards, she finally saw that at the end of the intermittent aerial road was a whole row of wide green water pipes.
The water pipe was like a sewage outlet, with something continuously gushing out of the dark hole.
This damn Mario water pipe is actually in the sky?
