Chapter 25: The First Item: Deserted City Notes (End with Inverted V)
The socially anxious person who had been idle for a long time pointed in a direction.
The fox that had been waiting behind Shen Li just now was now running along the street with its tail wagging.
It took them a while to come to terms with the fact that the fox did not belong to Shen Li, but was a kind fox he had stumbled across.
Seeing that the fox was unreliable, and facing the monster twisting like a meat ball behind them, their survival instincts took over again and they dodged to both sides.
The monster now looked like a ball of flesh with a mess of limbs stuck in it, and it was difficult to control the direction as it rolled.
A large hole collapsed in the burning cellar, and the monster that happened to roll to the edge of the cellar fell down.
The crisis here was temporarily resolved, but several people did not relax.
The socially anxious person looked up at the sky with a pale face.
The fire on this side of the street spread in the strong wind, and the flames illuminated half the sky.
The other side of the sky was completely shrouded in thick darkness.
When did the situation start to change?
Before anyone could react, the darkness on the other side of the street came crashing down on them like a tidal wave.
The stench was overwhelming, and everything was dark.
Flashlights are useless in places like this. Even if they are turned on, the weak light cannot penetrate the darkness.
In an instant, everyone seemed to have returned to their previous blind state and could only rely on sound to determine direction.
Somewhere in the darkness, a familiar whistle sounded.
Li Dangxin ignored the pain and got up from the ground.
"Brother, just stay where you are, I'll be there soon."
The remaining Red Hair and Shen Li also gradually gathered together following the whistle.
Even though everyone is close to each other and can feel each other's presence, they still cannot see each other.
"Are they all here?" Red-haired man touched them one by one, and by the end his legs felt weak.
"Okay...it seems like there's one more..."
Because he couldn't see anything, Red Hair felt around twice before he was sure there was one more person among them?
Red Hair was almost scared to death. The man who appeared out of the darkness hit Red Hair on the head with a precise blind stick.
"It's me."
"Brother Blind? When did you come?"
"Why didn't you say anything? I was scared to death!"
The blind man was not sociable to begin with, and although he could not see anything, when the dark area spread over just now, the stench around him became even stronger.
Fighting alone at this time would be tantamount to suicide. Just then, he heard a familiar whistle and the blind man followed.
"So what's the situation now?"
Everyone simply huddled together and held a small meeting.
"It's the Dark Domain." Chen Li shared with everyone the information about the Dark Domain that he had learned from Ye Minglang.
"We don't know what's going on in Fengrao, so should we just do nothing and stay here?"
Li Dangxin planned to hide till the end but still felt uneasy. When he looked around, he actually saw a dim light somewhere in the darkness.
“There’s light!”
Li Dangxin shared his discovery with everyone.
After a small meeting, the team decided to go over and take a look.
Maybe because everyone had experienced this before and was very experienced, they actually hooked their arms around the shoulders of the person in front of them in a very harmonious and tacit understanding and started a little train.
The leader was Li Dangxin. Considering that her brother had a broken leg and could not walk fast, she walked very slowly when leading the way.
The red-haired guy at the end of the team covered his stomach with one hand and broke out in a cold sweat. He had been constipated for a week, but he actually felt something when he was driving the train.
As they got closer, the light became clearer and clearer.
In the light they could see each other.
Everyone then let go of their arms and walked towards the small stall that flashed like a disco in the darkness.
"The Desperate Shop?"
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood in front of the stall, with a salesman's unique smile on his face, revealing his standard eight teeth.
"Welcome to the Desperate Shop. I am a dungeon NPC, an NPC that will only appear when you are on the verge of life or death."
With the mentality of "if you can't make money, you'll lose money; if you can't cheat, you'll lose money", Qian Shi spread the Desperate Situation Shop to every corner of the copy world.
After being promoted to the [Heaven] rank, he no longer had to deliver parcels, so he was really free.
The boss let them do whatever they wanted throughout the whole process.
So Qian Shi simply claimed the identity of an NPC in Wuliang Express, prepared to make a fortune by doing business, and was determined to make the Juejing Shop bigger and stronger.
Anyway, after reaching the Heavenly rank, he can use all the props in the warehouse freely, so it shouldn't be illegal for him to use them to make some money.
Qian Shi's treacherous face was well hidden under his gentle smile:
"We have carefully selected three fine products for everyone. Please queue up to purchase them."
Li Dangxin fell in love with the glowing stone on the stall at first sight.
The light emitted by this stone can illuminate the dark area. It should be much more convenient with it.
"You have a very good eye. This fluorite only costs 9999 points."
"The Dark Realm is full of dangers. With this fluorite, your chances of survival will be higher."
9999 points...
It’s true that I’m tempted, but it’s also true that I can’t afford it.
Li Dangxin turned around silently and walked to the end of the team.
Seeing that the opportunity to make money was about to fall through, Qian Shi quickly proposed a second plan:
"If you can't afford it, we suggest crowdfunding. One person can't afford it, but everyone's points combined might be enough. This is a rare opportunity to change your fate."
Li Dangxin, who was originally discouraged, discussed it with everyone. After all, they really needed this fluorite.
When we counted the points, we found out that we were all poor!
Since Chen Li hasn't finished delivering his first order yet, he naturally doesn't have any points.
Redhead spent all his points on exchanging chewing gum.
The blind man did have a few thousand points, but even if they were all put together, it was still not enough.
Qian Shi was a little speechless.
"With so many of you together, can't you make up 9999?"
Seeing that everyone looked embarrassed, Shen Li stepped forward and said, "Why don't you give us a discount?"
"You already have 8888?"
Several paupers shook their heads in unison.
Qian Shi looked at Chen Li and sighed deeply.
"Forget it. I won't embarrass you. You can take the fluorite."
Qian Shi deliberately lowered his voice: "For the sake of you having saved us before."
The red-haired guy behind him couldn't hold it in any longer, "For free?"
Li Dangxin quickly covered his mouth, fearing that the red-haired man's question would make the other party regret it.
The blind man tapped the ground with his stick, and the expression on his face was intriguing.
No one else heard what Qian Shi said in a low voice, but he did.
He had long felt that Chen Li was no ordinary person, but he had never expected that he even knew the dungeon NPCs and had even saved the NPCs’ lives.
Qian Shi put the fluorite in Shen Li's hand very reluctantly, and suddenly remembered something. He bent down and rummaged under the stall, then handed the two large bags to Shen Li.
Shen Li's thin arms were nearly crushed.
He looked puzzled, "What are these?"
"Free gift! It's a blood tonic, a health supplement. Take some if you're fine."
Not long ago, the boss almost drained his blood, and Qian Shi didn't want the boss to owe him too many favors, so he helped to make up for it.
Qian Shi gave him a look and let him figure it out for himself.
"Hiss..." The red-haired man's gossip soul began to burn.
"Did you see that? The NPC from Desperate Situation seemed to be flirting with Shen Li!"
Li Dangxin nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "I see, I see, he wouldn't be attracted to Chen Li, right? He would give anything worth 9999 points for free..."
Blind Man kind of wants to block out the conversation between these two mentally retarded teammates.
Chen Li held a pile of things in his hands and asked hesitantly, "How is he?"
"Don't worry about things that you shouldn't worry about!"
Qian Shi waved his hand, closed the stall, and looked behind Shen Li, "If you have time to care about these things, why not think about how to deal with that guy first."
Qian Shi came and went quickly, turning around and disappearing into the darkness.
With fluorite, the area within six meters can be illuminated.
Chen Li took a few steps in the direction Qian Shi had just looked at, and saw something squirming under the collapsed cellar.
Didn’t the key stuff get burned?
He remembered Ye Minglang saying that there was a lot of resentment in the dark realm, and the ghosts that absorbed the resentment in the dark realm would become stronger and more difficult to deal with.
"It's terrible."
The entire ground began to shake, and the asphalt road under Shen Li's feet suddenly cracked.
Several twisted arms stretched out from the crack.
The remaining teammates immediately realized that something was wrong.
The cracks on the ground became more and more numerous and spread towards them.
No one knows how big the monster underground is.
At the critical moment, Hongmao drove a car and stopped on the side, urging loudly: "Get in the car!"
Before Shen Li could react, he was stuffed into the carriage by several people.
The red-haired guy in the front was fiddling with the steering wheel, while the blind guy was cursing in the passenger seat.
Chen Li was sandwiched in the middle of the back seat, with the flustered Li Dangxin and the emotionally broken socially anxious person on his left and right.
Why... this scene seems familiar...
Not only Chen Li, but the rest of the people also reacted at once.
"Why are you driving again!"
Li Dangxin grabbed the red-haired man's hair as if he had seen an enemy, "Can you try to break my brother's other leg?"
Red Hair wanted to cry but had no tears. "I don't know either. When I came to my senses, I was already in the driver's seat."
It was too late to stop the car and change drivers now. The cracks in the ground were getting more and more. As soon as he released his foot on the accelerator, the car would fall into the cracks.
The last time Red Hair was driving, he hit a whole car full of people and everyone in it was destroyed.
He knew he was in the wrong, so he could only remind the blind man in the passenger seat, "Brother Blind, sit tight and hold on tight."
The blind man gnashed his teeth and said, "If you drive, everyone will die soon. Just treat me as if I'm dead! Don't talk to me!"
The cracks in the ground were getting wider and wider, and the car lights were no longer effective.
In the complete darkness, the only light available was the fluorite in Chen Li's hand.
Li Dangxin peeked out the rear window and the scene behind him was like hell.
Countless pairs of twisted hands stretched out from the cracks that were constantly chasing after them, as if trying their best to grab something.
The original cellar had collapsed into a deep pit, and a huge, hideous head poked out.
Like a demon crawling out of hell.
