Chapter 324: Monster Nest Island
Time passes.
The last bit of sunlight disappeared from the horizon.
But what is amazing is that as the sun sets, the temperature on the Monster Nest Island begins to rise rapidly, going directly from one extreme to another.
There were noises coming from the woods, and some of the smaller animals and monsters that had been hiding in the cold zone began to move as the hot zone appeared, while the larger monsters went into hiding to avoid the heat.
The vegetation in the jungle also shed its white frost and returned to its vibrant green.
Hidden inside the tree house.
Dou Hongshan paused as he was churning out food, and turned to look at the clown who was examining the props with an expressionless face.
"Cen Jinyue went to the beach?"
The hoarse female voice revealed suppressed shock.
The clown nodded, still holding the prop in his hand.
Although he did not show the same shock as Dou Hongshan, his furrowed brows showed that he was also very skeptical about the result.
Yesterday's battle was quite brutal and left him with severe internal injuries, but he also took the opportunity to leave a mark on Cen Jinyue's body, so that he could grasp the opponent's movements in real time. Although he paid a huge price and his internal injuries have not yet healed, he is no longer so passive.
However, what the props show now is confusing.
Dou Hongshan put down what he was holding, walked over to take the props, and repeatedly checked the information feedback from the props.
"…something's wrong. The temperature has just risen." She murmured.
This dungeon is not friendly. The hunger state alone is enough to make players upset. But no matter what, when ordinary players are in the hot zone, the survival pressure will be much less. In the cold zone, they have to deal with monsters and find food, which doubles the difficulty.
Normally, players will choose to store food when in a hot zone, and kill monsters to earn points when in a cold zone.
Of course, this is based on the normal gameplay of Monster Nest Island.
For Cen Jinyue, food was not a problem, so it was completely unreasonable to stock up on food outside the island.
"Since his goal is to kill all the other players, why doesn't he stay in the center of the island?"
Dou Hongshan couldn't figure it out.
The clown was unconscious before, and she was not sure where Cen Jinyue was before she got the props, so she could only hide quietly and minimize her range of activities.
If she had known that the other party was not in the woods, she would have gone out to find some more food!
After thinking about it, Dou Hongshan hesitated.
"No, that's not right."
"He may have cracked your skills. This is a trap."
She was cautious by nature, and had been caught off guard before, so she inevitably thought more: "It will take two days for your injury to heal completely, so we should not act rashly..."
The clown nodded barely audibly and closed his eyes to rest.
The chances of winning a head-on confrontation with Cen Jinyue are too slim. He must first adjust himself to the best condition so that he can seize the opponent's flaws and counterattack when they meet next time.
In the live broadcast room, the audience who knew the truth laughed like crazy.
[Haha ...
[[Screenshot.jpg]Mu Feng and Tang Run caught fewer and fewer fish, and Xu Xiaohua still wasn't full. Looking at Yue Shen's expression, she was already wondering whether she should catch some herself.]
[Hahahahaha, shit, I think he's regretting picking up Xu Xiaohua! ]
[I declare that Xu Xiaohua is the most gluttonous creature I have ever seen! And this bastard takes after his father, hahahahaha, he will cheat whoever he catches. ]
[Let us congratulate the Xu Xiaohua Victims Alliance for adding another great victim! ]
[That's too mean, hahaha! Aren't you afraid that the Moon God will find out and crush you into pieces when he reviews the game?]
[Hey? Look what that is! ]
[Stone...stone? ]
Amidst the laughter and joy of the barrage, a half-human-high stone statue of a demon poked its head out from the gap in the tree house.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire tree house became tense.
Before it could open its mouth, there was a "click" and the vines serving as the floor suddenly tightened and clamped its head off.
“Boom—”
There was a noise outside, as if the remaining parts of the demon statue fell to the ground.
Before Dou Hongshan withdrew his hand, he saw the horned stone demon head with its eyes wide open and its mouth opening and closing, as if it was swearing.
After waiting for a while, Dou Hongshan was relieved to see that the demon stone head just opened its mouth but did not attack. He asked in confusion: "What is this? Is it a native monster on the island?"
Killing monsters that do not increase your score and are not within your range.
Maybe the little devil statue is too weak.
The clown who was resting nearby raised his eyelids and took a glance, then retracted his gaze, not taking the little thing seriously at all.
It was not until five minutes later that Dou Hongshan turned his head and stared at the entrance of the tree house.
The headless half of the stone statue of the little devil staggered up again. After it crawled in, it groped for its head. Only when its head and body were united did it stop its silent cursing.
Dou Hongshan didn't move anymore, but instead looked curiously at the little monster that was not counted in the score.
Is it because there are no kills that there are no points?
But how do you kill a stone? It seems difficult to kill it completely.
She stared at the little devil statue as it pieced itself together and began to slowly swing around in the tree house.
The hard stone's tail was extremely flexible. It rolled up the potatoes and tomatoes on the table and stuffed them into its mouth. It was so fast that Dou Hongshan couldn't react.
"Here to steal?"
Is it so aboveboard?
Just as she raised her hand to punish the stone monster, she saw that after swallowing the potato, the monster took out a piece of cardboard from its mouth and handed it to her politely.
Dou Hongshan took the card with doubt, and his expression gradually became strange.
[Give money to change your life, accept orders online.]
[Don't need 500,000, don't need 300,000! Now you can spend a warm night in a temporary safe house for only 80,000! (Including double the whole day, food and other supplies are extra)]
[We have top chefs to cook delicious food for you, soft rabbit fur blankets to give you a warm and sweet night, and beautiful demon statues to tell you the history of the island's rise and fall, allowing you to spend a memorable and perfect survival copy! ]
[In the wind and rain, I will wait for you in the strange nest of the church halfway up the mountain!]
[What are you still hesitating about? Come and lie down! ]
“…”
Dou Hongshan was silent.
She looked at the advertising slogan that was totally inconsistent with the tense game, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The paper of this business card feels very rough. It should be found by Xu Zhiyan after arriving on the island. The handwriting on it is very familiar, the same as the one the clown brought back before. It was probably written by the White Bone Demon named Xiaocuigu.
"Church nest?"
As Dou Hongshan chewed over these four words, his expression was full of confusion.
It’s not like she and the clown didn’t find the monster’s nest.
But if you want to enter the monster nest to offset the hunger, all the monster nest owners are required to accept offerings.
That was no ordinary offering.
The owner of the monster nest will ask to take away the identity of the worshiper, and not only the hands and feet, but also the voice and five senses...
And if the owner of the monster nest protects two people, he will take double the amount.
The current location of the tree house was originally a monster's nest, but after the negotiation between the priests collapsed, she killed the owner of the monster's nest and transformed it into a temporary residence. If she could not stimulate the growth of plants, she would probably have to continue hiding with her teammates, looking for food supplies.
Looking at the little devil statue who was about to leave after loading potatoes and tomatoes, Dou Hongshan hesitated.
"What loophole did Xu Zhiyan find to keep himself safe?"
She couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, the clown who had his eyes closed next to him suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the side of the tree house.
Someone is coming!
The vines moved to create a gap, Dou Hongshan understood what he meant and walked over to check carefully.
After a moment, she spoke in a deep voice.
"It's another player in Utopia."
…
Church monster nest.
Zhou Deyi and Lin Ju have gotten on the right track and successfully joined the army of scarf-knitters, gathering around the campfire with the other two unlucky guys.
It's a pity that four grown men knitting scarves around a campfire doesn't seem so heartwarming.
Well, it's a bit eye-irritating.
Jiang Huaique stood aside with his arms folded, acting as a diligent supervisor. Xiao Cuigu found more wool and wrote and drew on the notebook. It seemed that with more people involved, more patterns could be knitted.
Xu Zhiyan waited until the moon was just above the horizon before he wiped his mouth and stood up.
Carrying a small food box with a broken corner, he walked towards the small door at the back of the church. When passing by two demon stone statues with curious and excited faces, he patted the tips of his wings that were dropping stone chips on each other.
"Thank you, you are good monsters."
Previously he had scolded these two monsters for being of a different quality and for having nothing better to do than to mess around in the church, but he never expected that now that something bad had happened, these two would be the first to tip him off.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m shy or guilty.
After hearing this, the two demon statues looked at each other and suddenly lowered their heads.
Xu Zhiyan hadn't realized how his talk had reached Bai Jin's ears. He just thought that the other party was extremely powerful and could monitor the entire range of the church's monster nest.
I came into the room, opened the closet, and walked through the familiar stone corridor.
Before he reached the end, Xu Zhiyan saw a bright light shining at the end of the dim corridor.
The ghost dressed in priest's robes stood at the door, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Xu Zhiyan sighed deeply and quickened his pace.
If he sticks his head out, he will be killed as well as if he hides his head. What's more, he has thought of many ways that should be able to effectively distract the attention of ghosts and gods!
"Bai Jin, give it to me!"
He took two or three steps forward and handed over the thing in his hand without waiting for the ghost to speak.
I wanted to walk in directly, but I caught a glimpse of the soft shag carpet...Except for the half-broken stone altar, the entire underground space was warm, bright and perfectly decorated, and it was almost impossible to tell what it originally looked like.
He hesitated for a moment, but still bent down and took off his shoes. Damn, after decorating this place, it felt like he was back home!
The ghost took the thing with a faint smile on his face.
"I thought you were going to hold off until midnight."
Seeing that the other party did not mention the boasting, but laid the groundwork first, Xu Zhiyan was delighted and quickly waved his hands and said, "How is that possible? I am not a person who goes back on my word."
Then, he calmly praised ghosts and gods.
"And I know that even if something drags on until midnight, you won't hold it against me, Bai Jin. I know you very well. You're not the kind of person who would hold it against trivial matters."
He didn't care what the other party hinted at.
Now that he has been flattered, how can Bai Jin have the nerve to argue with him about his empty talk?
Sure enough, after hearing this, the ghost was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly, his voice full of joy.
His sweetheart always brings him some unexpected surprises.
The first step was successful, and Xu Zhiyan felt a little relieved, planning to continue to control the rhythm of the topic according to the second step.
Although ghosts and gods are a little love-minded, they are still very reliable in major matters.
I got a lot of information from Zhou Deyi. They had discussed Cen Jinyue's topic in the safe house before, so it was a good opportunity to discuss it now. After we finished talking, who the hell would still remember what he had said? Of course, business was more important!
Unfortunately, Xu Zhiyan's plan did not go smoothly.
Just as he smiled, before he could say Cen Jinyue's name, a strong hand pinched his chin.
A hot kiss fell.
The lips and teeth were entangled, and Xu Zhiyan was kissed dizzy. When he came to his senses, most of his clothes were gone, and his neck was covered with bright red kiss marks.
In a trance, he heard the voices of ghosts and gods.
"Your dissatisfaction is no small matter. You could understand me better."
He emphasized the word 'understand', inexplicably carrying a blushing amorous taste, as if hinting at something, and his breathing gradually became heavier.
“…”
Xu Zhiyan's mind was a little stuck.
What's going on!
Why didn’t his client play by the rules today?
