The footsteps drew rapidly closer.
The visitors were a man and a woman.
The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, wearing a black tulle dress, with bangs, long black hair, and a cold, almost expressionless demeanor.
The man was about the same age as the woman. He had two striking red tufts of hair in his bangs, earrings in his ears, and his eyes were full of excitement as he scanned his surroundings like a hunter surveying his prey.
"Stop hiding, I've seen you... Come out now, hahahahaha!"
Even though he was wearing an invisibility cloak, Yu Xiangnan, who was hiding in the corner, did not openly stare at the two of them. He only glanced at them briefly before quickly looking away.
Line of sight will reveal your location.
The surroundings were eerily quiet; you could even clearly hear your own heartbeat.
Yu Xiangnan's mind raced. She felt these two people looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere in her past life...
The cave was completely silent, which made the man's face look disappointed. He said, "Tsk, there are obvious signs that a player has been here, and there are even traps set outside. Could it be that they've already left?"
The woman shook her head slightly.
"Hmm, I can't sense the player's presence."
"Even you couldn't sense it? It seems that guy also unlocked a profession and has the ability to predict the future... He actually managed to escape first."
"But that guy must be the thief who stole the corpse before, right? What did he need that corpse for?"
The woman seemed to be thinking seriously, and after a moment replied, "Necromancy?"
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
I really want to argue.
The two men glanced around, didn't linger long, and turned to leave. Yu Xiangnan remained tense, not daring to relax even slightly.
Although they have left temporarily, no one can guarantee that they will not return.
Wait five more minutes!
Five minutes passed quickly, and there was no sound from the surroundings. Yu Xiangnan was about to leave and send a message to Bula, who had slipped away quickly, when suddenly two figures appeared at the cave entrance.
The two are back!
The man strode into the cave, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then plopped down on a boulder, crossed his legs, and said with a laugh, "I suddenly think this place is not bad."
The woman did not speak, but looked around.
Then, she walked to Yu Xiangnan's bed and examined it carefully, seemingly quite satisfied, and gave a soft "hmm".
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
Robbers!
And did these two people notice something was wrong and come back specifically, or do they really intend to take over her little home?
Was it intentional or accidental?
Helpless, Yu Xiangnan could only maintain the same posture again, not moving at all, not even daring to breathe.
Surprisingly, the two actually stayed and began discussing the game and the Galactic Empire that had declared war on Earth. They then talked about their professional skills and future plans, even engaging in a round of banter.
Yu Xiangnan pricked up his ears, taking in all sorts of information and gossip.
Well, it seems these two really didn't notice her.
She suddenly realized.
This is the joy of King Gou!
However, it seems the invisibility cloak's effect is about to end...
Just as Yu Xiangnan was pondering whether to proactively expose himself like last time, or confidently take on two opponents, the chat box suddenly popped up.
[Bula]: I'll lure them away in a bit, then you can run away.
These words were like a ray of light, deeply moving Yu Xiangnan.
See, this is what true friendship in times of trouble looks like.
She admitted that she had been speaking too loudly.
Sure enough, less than a minute after Bula sent the message, a rustling sound came from outside the cave, as if something was moving through the grass.
"who?!"
The man suddenly stood up and turned to look outside the cave.
The woman also looked in the direction from which the voice came, and then said, "It's very small, doesn't seem like a player."
Upon hearing this, the man frowned.
The two looked at each other, puzzled. After a brief hesitation, they decided to go out and see what was going on.
Yu Xiangnan listened intently to the two men's movements. Once he was sure they were far away, he didn't hesitate for a moment. Grabbing his small, broken shovel, he took off running.
After leaving the cave for a certain distance, the invisibility cloak effect automatically disappeared.
Yu Xiangnan, after confirming that the surroundings were temporarily safe, gasped for breath.
This isn't just about fighting natural disasters... it's clearly about avoiding players.
After casually making a comment, she immediately realized something and sent several messages to Bula in a flurry.
[Yu Xiangnan]: I survived!
[Yu Xiangnan]: How are things on your end?
[Bula]: Don't worry, how could two turtles possibly catch me?
Just as Yu Xiangnan was marveling at how even NPCs were friendlier and more helpful than players, an unread new message popped up at an inopportune moment.
[Bu Le]: Oh right, I almost died saving you just now, so you have to promise to give me two cans of luncheon meat.
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
She wants to take back what she just said.
Yu Xiangnan and Bula quickly met up, and both of them, one a person and the other an NPC, were somewhat confused for a moment.
The original shelter is no longer needed.
Combining the gossip she had just heard, she remembered who these two people were.
The woman's name was Ning Xiluo, and the man's name was Ning Haizhi; they were siblings.
After the first dungeon in the previous life ended, various rankings were also released. The two players were ranked in the top three on the class rankings for [Perceptor] and [Puppeteer], respectively. Their names were also on the Conqueror ranking.
As for why she noticed these two people in her past life... it's because they were on the wanted list for a long time and were absolutely dangerous individuals.
Yu Xiangnan truly didn't expect that the two of them would be assigned to the same instance in the first instance and even manage to meet.
Why can't she have that kind of luck?
We should nip Wei Li in the bud before he gets the [Death Rewind] ability.
Bula happily ate one can of luncheon meat and saved the other can, planning to eat it again when he felt like it next time.
In this respect, it already surpasses 99% of dogs (although Brahma is not actually a dog).
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Bula looked at Yu Xiangnan, who was leaning against a tree with a slightly serious expression.
[Bula]: Where to next?
"Let's leave here first."
In short, I can't stay on this mountain any longer.
This is a good opportunity to go somewhere else. Now the number of surviving players is less than half of what it was initially, and there must be a lot of corpses outside.
In this way, they wouldn't be discovered just because they stole a corpse from the mountain.
