Chapter 331: Monster Nest Island
Three or four in the morning should be the time when people have the deepest sleep.
The silent hall of the church's monster nest is no exception.
The four people who were knitting scarves had already fallen down. Zhou Deyi yawned with his eyes open, and his eyes showed fatigue. The others had already lay down in the pile of wool.
Only Dou Hongshan and Jiang Huaizhe were still awake.
After another tomato plant was grown, Dou Hongshan stood up and stretched his arms. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "When will the clown come back?"
Now more than half an hour has passed since the clown left, but there is no news from the other party.
In fact, after killing other monster nest owners, Dou Hongshan had a certain understanding of the monster nests in the dungeon. He knew that these monsters were not too strong and their main function was to balance the combat power of the players.
She didn't think there was any monster nest owner on the island who could defeat the clown.
At the moment, it seems more like Xu Zhiyan used some means to control the owner of the church's monster nest.
The details are in the previous system prompts. When a player coexists with the nest owner, other players cannot enter the nest range.
This strange church not only allowed players other than Xu Zhiyan to enter, but also accepted many others. There are only two possibilities now. One is that this monster nest is indeed different from other monster nests. The other is that this is not the range of the church's monster nest at all, but more like the mapping range of the monster nest effect.
No matter which situation is the case, it means that Xu Zhiyan's ability is likely to be much higher than they guessed.
Jiang Huaiqie leaned against the demon statue and closed his eyes to rest. When he heard the question, he didn't even raise his eyelids and snorted coldly in response, "Don't worry about it. You two are not of much use anyway."
For some reason, he didn't want Xu Zhiyan to get too close to the Clown and others from the beginning.
Perhaps it's the sharp intuition of a wild beast.
Whether he was watching the live broadcast or observing from the scene, he could vaguely sense some dull danger, especially Dou Hongshan's cloudy eyes, which were full of vigilance and alertness.
Thinking of something about the other party, Jiang Huaique raised his eyelids and spoke tentatively.
"If you haven't fallen out with the summoner yet, she might still be of some use to us. After all, besides the safe house, she's the only place where we can buy the summoning box."
He observed the other person's expression calmly.
Sure enough, when the word "summoner" was mentioned, Dou Hongshan's eyes showed a trace of panic, then returned to normal, and his tone was as cold as ever.
"Then you should find another buyer."
After saying that, she went back to stimulate the growth of plants.
Jiang Huaique closed his eyes again and said nothing more.
Dou Hongshan had a falling out with the summoner before entering the game and quit Dark Alley, then turned around and joined Endless Card. What's the difference between this and committing suicide?
Now it seems that the other party wanted to protect the summoner, so he deliberately broke up with the summoner before joining the Endless Card... As for why he made such a guess, it was because he was too familiar with it.
Jiang Huaique had imagined countless times how he should break up with Xu Zhiyan in order to completely get rid of him.
He didn't want to implicate his teammates because of his revenge plan, so breaking up with the other party in public during the live broadcast of the game was the best option. Thinking of this, Jiang Huaique smiled helplessly.
Xu Zhiyan took the money from Utopia and became completely opposed to the other party. In a sense, this made their goals more similar.
At this moment, he found that Lin Ju, who was dozing with wool in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the gate.
A barely audible rustling sound came from the door, and Lin Ju's expression suddenly became much more serious, as if there was something standing at the door that made him alert.
Jiang Huai Que realized that something was happening.
Lin Ju's ranking is not low. Although he doesn't seem to have much brains at ordinary times, the more people rely on instinct to fight, the faster they can sense danger when it comes.
Standing up, Jiang Huaiqu patted the demon statue behind him.
The other wagged his tail.
The door opened the next second.
"……dog?"
Jiang Huai Que spoke hesitantly.
There were two white puppies squatting in the bushes outside the door. They were only the size of a palm, with their noses sticking up high and their round eyes without a trace of life.
They were quite far away, almost on the edge of town.
The shouting was extremely loud.
“Woof——”
“Woof——”
After two loud barks, the white puppy's body began to change rapidly.
Soon they swelled into two round balls, and then exploded with a "pop", turning into countless white spots that flew out and stuck to the grass and outside the church.
Jiang Huaiqie watched as Lin Ju's expression changed from calm to horror. Before he could speak, Zhou Deyi, who had completely sobered up next to him, revealed the identities of the two puppies.
"This is a disposable prop tracking dog doll... a prop of the Moon Goddess."
His voice was trembling.
You should know that when facing Xu Zhiyan who took out a weapon before, Zhou Deyi did not behave so inappropriately.
"Both dogs are here, which means the two people that Yue Shen is looking for are also here. We have to leave quickly. This place is no longer safe..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Huaique interrupted him with a chuckle.
"Apart from the players here, the only ones still alive outside are Tang Run and his two thieves. If you think you can run faster than them, you can leave."
Cen Jinyue’s next target is here, and he must make plans early.
No matter what, one more person always means a better chance of winning.
There was a bit of friendship between the weavers, and Lin Ju slapped Geng Yu and Yu Jiantong twice to wake them up.
Zhou Deyi pursed his lips, his face turned pale, and his brows were full of fear. He had seen Cen Jinyue's power, and he knew that even the group of people in the church now were not enough to match one of the other party's skills.
Some terrifying images kept flashing through his mind.
In the face of absolutely powerful force, all struggles are futile.
Wanting to find Xu Zhiyan, Zhou Deyi turned around and saw Geng Yu, after hearing the whole story, nervously picked up the knitting needles and started knitting seriously.
“…”
No, is this kid sick?
What a critical moment! Why are you still thinking about knitting a scarf?
This action directly broke the tense atmosphere around them. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on his hands, Geng Yu swallowed and explained in a low voice: "Fight back. I can't win anyway."
Since death is inevitable, I might as well just knit a scarf.
The audience in the live broadcast room were not in life-threatening danger and were simply amused by him.
[Haha, this kid seems to really like knitting scarves! ]
[Yes, I can directly develop a sideline business for my child. ]
[Although the food is good, the attitude is good! 】
[Oh, which guild is he from? He was really sent here by the guild leader to be cannon fodder.]
[These two noobs really stand out in this dungeon. ]
[Hahahaha, I hope they can have some conscience and not send such poor little creatures in next time.]
[Not necessarily. Isn't there still the clown? By the way, how is the ugly brother? ]
[I don't know. The underground of this church is really weird. After the ugly brother entered the closet, there was no live broadcast signal anymore. ]
End of the stone passage.
The Joker only caught a glimpse inside.
When the devil's voice sounded in his mind, all the candles went out and the underground altar fell into darkness. Only the candles on both sides of the passage were still swaying, emitting faint light.
It’s a pity that these lights are also in danger and seem likely to go out at any time.
Deathly silence spread.
The clown tightened his grip on the flying knife again and again, his bloodless face looked solemn, and after a long time he still couldn't say anything.
He had never been so conflicted.
Cen Jinyue is still on the island. As the only person in the dark alley who can fight the mimic, he has reasons and missions that prevent him from dying.
Before today, the Joker always thought that he was ready.
He must survive.
To complete what must be completed, to avenge what must be avenged.
Even if the price is sacrificing other people's lives, even if his actions will be despised by others.
But when he really got to this step and saw that someone was paying for him, he realized that making this decision was much more difficult than he thought.
After a while, he heard his own hoarse voice.
"What do you want?"
Something is broken.
The Joker suddenly realized that he had become the person he hated the most.
The stone door slowly closed, blocking out the sound.
From the endless darkness came the devil's disdainful sneer.
"I thought you would let me let him go and cancel the deal." There was a rare hint of anger in the ghost's low and elegant voice.
He is never good from the beginning to the end.
If it weren't for Xu Zhiyan, he wouldn't have shown the slightest bit of gentleness.
Now that His treasure is asleep, and He has carried out the other party's proposal, so it is not considered a mistake, then next, He will use His own means to achieve some goals.
A terrifying feeling of oppression came from the underground altar.
The clown didn't know how he had angered the demon inside. He took two steps back and took a defensive posture. In an instant, fluctuations were heard in the void around the stone passage.
"call out--"
Several chains with spikes pierced his limbs.
He gritted his teeth and kept silent as the severe pain came over him. Black feathers flew down and the devil's sneer came from behind him.
"Don't worry, when you return to the church, all your injuries will be healed, and your memories of me will be erased. You can continue to be your savior."
The clown's eyes widened suddenly, but his severely injured limbs made him unable to move.
He felt a hand pressing on the back of his head, and then he found himself gradually losing control of his body.
However, all this shock was not as great as the question the devil asked next.
"Tell me everything you know about the ideal country, including information about non-human creatures."
The clown's consciousness began to become confused and his eyes gradually lost focus.
Soon, only one person's voice was left in the stone passage.
…
I don’t know how much time passed.
When the clown opened his eyes, he found himself kneeling in the stone passage.
He stood up and found that not only had all his injuries recovered, but his whole body was full of strength and was in peak condition.
But he had no memory of being treated.
All his memories stopped at the moment he walked down the passage. He saw Xu Zhiyan sitting on the stone throne and the devil with his finger raised to his lips.
The demon seemed to say something, but he could no longer remember it.
While deep in thought, a cold voice suddenly sounded in my mind.
"roll."
…
Xu Zhiyan wasn't sleeping very deeply, so he woke up immediately when someone picked him up.
"White ember?"
There is still darkness in front of my eyes. It seems that the time to redeem my eyesight has not yet passed. In my ears, I hear the gentle and apologetic voice of ghosts and gods.
"Are you awake? It's still early, go to sleep a little longer."
Then Xu Zhiyan felt the other party put him into a pile of soft silk fabrics.
Being unable to see still made him a little nervous. He subconsciously grabbed the ghost's wrist and asked anxiously, "How long will it take? Is everything alright in the church? Has the clown's injury been healed?"
"It's okay, as long as they don't leave, everything will be fine."
It felt good to be relied on by the one he loved. He bent down and kissed the young man's forehead, and spoke of the information he had just received.
"The Joker was very touched when he found out that you changed his medicine, so he decided to share some information about the Utopia with us. However, he saw my appearance, so I erased his memory."
Xu Zhiyan was stunned when he heard this.
"What? So smooth?"
Shit! He thought the clown would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he would be moved so easily? This was too unexpected!
The ghost answered softly.
"Well, your plan is the best plan in the world."
The kiss mixed with smile fell from Xu Zhiyan's nose to his lips. An ambiguous sound of water was heard, and it disappeared only when the young man's cheeks turned red and he could hardly breathe.
He said nothing more.
Whatever Xu Zhiyan wants, He will make it happen.
Be it endless wealth or dark secrets, as long as the other party needs it, He will do whatever it takes to get it. Compared to the wavering and weak human just now, He is the most suitable existence for Xu Zhiyan.
