Chapter 102 Communication, distortion radiation?
Kou Dingshan's words were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, and for a moment the whole room fell into deathly silence.
A solemn expression appeared on everyone's face, as if they were shrouded by an invisible pressure.
After a long while, Dong Xingyu slowly broke the silence. His voice was low and serious: "That's right, we must be extra careful. Judging from the current situation, the dangerous factors in the outside world are far more than just the extreme cold. It is very likely that there are some unknown monsters hidden." As he spoke, he glanced around vigilantly.
Zhongsun Junhao immediately echoed, "Let's move quickly. Collect the books we need and leave this place as soon as possible. After all, judging by the bloodstains and the degree of freezing of the body at the scene, this person has been dead for a short time, which means that an unknown monster may be lurking nearby."
At this time, Suning was staring intently at the slightly stiff corpse.
After careful observation, it can be found that the deceased was attacked by some extremely powerful creature, causing him to die instantly.
According to preliminary inferences, the victim died about an hour ago.
Jiang Nana, who was standing by, couldn't bear the horrific scene before her. Her face turned pale as paper and her body trembled slightly.
Seeing that Su Ning was staring at the corpse intently, Jiang Nana couldn't help but walk forward and gently pull the corner of Su Ning's clothes, whispering: "Let's go quickly..."
Su Ning did not linger for long. She quickly withdrew her gaze and began to collect the books that interested her in an orderly manner.
Of course, these books are not only worth reading, but can also be used as fuel.
Although their primary goal of this operation was to find coal, any useful resources should not be easily missed.
However, what Suning did not expect was that Zhongsun Junhao showed his spatial ability without reservation.
Kou Dingshan noticed that Su Ning was staring intently at Zhongsun Junhao, so he took the initiative to explain: "Junhao's talent is the power of space. Because of this, I invited him to join this coal search. This way, he can keep the collected coal properly and distribute it after returning."
After hearing this, Suning nodded slightly to show his understanding, but did not show any surprise as Kou Dingshan expected.
In fact, spatial ability is nothing uncommon for Suning.
However, she naturally would not easily reveal the secret that she also possessed a space. Instead, like everyone else, she gave all her favorite books to Zhongsun Junhao to carry.
When they finished searching the bookstore and were about to leave, they were shocked to find that the snowstorm that had originally subsided had started raging again, and its intensity was even greater than before.
Faced with such inclement weather, Dong Xingyu couldn't help but sigh: "Under such circumstances, it's probably not easy to move forward smoothly."
Although Dong Xingyu has the special ability to melt the wind and snow, frequently using this talent will also cause his physical strength to be rapidly depleted.
Kou Dingshan frowned and said, "In this case, we have no choice but to rest in this bookstore for a while."
Despite this, no one dared to relax or be alert about the body on the second floor.
Suning picked up some damaged books without hesitation and wanted to call the little fire cat.
At this moment, the little fire cat still looked arrogant and domineering.
After all, Suning is not its owner, so it cannot order it to do things at will.
Fortunately, Suning has the skills to tame animals.
So, Suning opened the backpack behind him, took out a sausage from it, and called softly to the little fire cat: "Little cat, help me start a fire, this sausage is yours."
The little fire cat, which was originally arrogant, instantly lost its composure when it smelled the tempting aroma of the ham sausage.
Coupled with the affinity brought by Suning's unique taming skills, the little fire cat couldn't help but approach Suning.
Little Fire Cat muttered to himself, "Oh my god! Why do I feel like I'm completely out of control? Could this two-legged beast be a terrifying demon? It can actually control my body at will! Oh no! I have to find a way to protect my mistress! I can't let her fall into any danger! Humph, look at the thing in the two-legged beast's hand. It must be some powerful secret weapon. Let me destroy it!"
At this moment, the little fire cat suddenly jumped up with lightning speed and accurately bit the sausage in Suning's hand.
Then with a sweep of the tail, the flame on the tail burned the broken books that Suning had gathered.
Jiang Nana, who was watching all this, was curious: "How did you do it? Sometimes Xiao Miao doesn't even listen to me."
Su Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said half-jokingly: "Maybe this is what is called personal charm?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nana couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then she came to her senses and shook her head gently. "You are such a joke."
At this moment, everyone sat around the warm fire, quietly listening to the sound of the snowstorm coming from outside the house.
The whistling wind was like a ferocious beast, making people unable to help but think wildly.
Suning picked up a book and started reading, trying to immerse himself in it and forget the chaos around him.
Kou Dingshan noticed everyone's emotions and felt that this was not a solution.
He cleared his throat and began to recount his thrilling experience in the previous copy.
"It would be great if I could go back to the previous dungeon next time. That way, maybe I could get more magical animals like the Little Fire Cat." His words were full of anticipation.
Speaking of this, Suning's eyes lit up.
After all, although she has many pets, they are still different from natural monsters like Little Fire Cat.
Like Honghong and Huahua, they can only be considered as beings that were born after some kind of mutation.
At the same time, Dong Xingyu and Zhongsun Junhao were also very interested in the copy that Kou Dingshan entered.
Seeing everyone's interest, Kou Dingshan slowly explained, "This dungeon is called [Monster Ruins]. It's extremely dangerous, practically a nightmare. It's a world completely destroyed by countless hideous monsters, with all sorts of monsters running rampant everywhere. However, as the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. It's precisely because of this that I was able to stumble upon this incredibly precious egg, Little Fire Cat, in a corner."
At this point, Kou Dingshan patted his chest with a hint of fear. "Back then, in order to get this egg, I went through a lot of life and death, and was hunted down by those vicious guys for a long time!"
Everyone listened to Kou Dingshan's story, and Jiang Nana leaned on Kou Dingshan's shoulder happily.
Because Kou Dingshan gave him the monster egg he obtained after surviving a near-death experience.
After hearing the news about other copies, Zhongsun Junhao also fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he raised his head and looked at the others, and asked in a serious tone, "Have you ever heard of a dungeon called [Distortion Radiation]?"
After hearing Zhongsun Junhao's question, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Zhongsun Junhao continued to explain, "This dungeon is extremely dangerous, a nightmare-like existence, its horror beyond imagination. According to statistics, the number of players who can successfully return from this dungeon is less than one-tenth! Even more terrifying is that those who are lucky enough to return have more or less suffered from the adverse effects of the dungeon, both in terms of their physical condition and talent."
Just by hearing the name of this copy, everyone can feel that this impact will definitely not be a good thing.
As expected by Suning, he then heard Zhongsun Junhao talk about the amazing changes that had taken place in these returning players.
"In the First Sanctuary, a soldier once survived this dungeon after enduring countless hardships. Unfortunately, due to the intense radiation within the dungeon, his original gift, Clairvoyance, was completely distorted..."
Having said this, Zhongsun Junhao paused for a moment. After a while, he took a deep breath and continued, "Now, his body has begun to grow countless eyes uncontrollably."
"Hiss!" Kou Dingshan and Dong Xingyu gasped at the same time, with looks of astonishment on their faces.
They couldn't imagine how weird and creepy it would be to see a person covered with eyes.
However, this is not the worst case scenario.
Zhongsun Junhao continued, "Even more puzzling is the officer's extremely unstable and dangerous mental state. Perhaps because his body continues to grow eyes, he has developed an almost pathological obsession with eyes, even wanting to dig out other people's eyes to satisfy a deep desire."
"Oh my God, this copy has such a huge impact on people?" After hearing this description, everyone present was shocked.
Everyone fell silent, unable to imagine that some copies would eventually have such an impact on the players.
After all, if no effective method can be found to resist the negative impact of the copy, then anyone who steps into it may face a life-and-death test.
Zhongsun Junhao nodded. In fact, what he wanted to say was that his brother had also entered this copy, which caused Zhongsun Junzhang to disappear directly after returning and his whereabouts were unknown.
As everyone was talking, a shrill scream and a terrifying roar reached everyone's ears.
