Yu Xiangnan quickly left the basement of the large supermarket, transforming from an NPC zombie back into a normal person, and calmly sorted out the bizarre situation that had just occurred.
The player was able to appear out of thin air either by using a skill similar to "teleportation" or by using some kind of special item.
As for whether he used it himself or was forcibly taken from him by someone else, it's impossible to be 100% certain based solely on his reaction just now.
As for that menacing lion that suddenly appeared and blocked the road...
We can only confirm that it wasn't the skill of the player from before; the lion and the player are not on the same side.
Suddenly, a word popped into Yu Xiangnan's mind: "beast tamer".
Is it a skill of the profession [Beast Tamer]?
The probability of this lion escaping from the zoo is extremely low; it's practically impossible. Furthermore, this lion is clearly different from ordinary lions; it's much larger and seems to have come specifically for me.
Yu Xiangnan stopped at the supermarket exit, his brows furrowing slightly.
An indescribable feeling of being spied on lingered in my back.
Are they "colleagues"?
The moment this thought crossed Yu Xiangnan's mind, he couldn't help but gasp.
She quickly focused her attention and activated her senses. This power spread outwards from her, rapidly traversing every corner of the supermarket.
This is the benefit that the "Mental Strength" attribute brings to players.
Compared to before entering the game, in terms of mental resistance, players are no longer easily affected by external interference forces and can resist illusions and mental attacks to a certain extent. Their perception is also improved simultaneously, enabling them to detect subtle movements and auras that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive.
Found it!
The parking lot outside a large supermarket.
The rain outside had just stopped, and the streetlights in the parking lot seemed to have collectively gone on strike, leaving it so dark it was unsettling.
Yu Xiangnan quickly approached the location of that unfamiliar aura.
"Stop hiding, come out." She gripped the shovel, her eyes suddenly turning cold, carrying a sense of oppression.
At this moment, the person had entered the 20-meter warning range, but did not automatically transform into an NPC. This means... the person who had been hiding in the shadows, secretly plotting against her, was also an NPC.
"What? Speaking so loudly startled me."
A figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
The speaker was a woman with curly hair and a red dress. She tilted her head slightly, her long, wavy hair cascading freely over her neck and shoulders, and her fiery red dress stood out against the night.
The next second, another dark figure appeared in the darkness.
It's the same lion that ambushed her in the basement of the supermarket before!
It turns out she was the one who was causing trouble all along!
Yu Xiangnan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze wary, ready to deal with any unknown situation at any time.
Since they are now all NPCs, they naturally don't have a personal information panel, so you can't see the woman's name, level, or server.
The woman spoke first: "Your name is Yu Xiangnan, right? I wonder if you still remember the first player you encountered in the Chaos Dungeon?"
The first player?
Yu Xiangnan frowned, his mind flashing quickly through information about the first player he encountered in the Chaos Dungeon:
Jiang Yu comes from Dragon Feather Star and her profession is [Mage].
She and Huo Qingyi successfully reunited and joined forces to bring him to near death. However, at the most crucial moment, an NPC intervened and stole the final blow.
That's strange, why would she ask that question?
Seeing Yu Xiangnan's puzzled expression, the woman smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. I come from Dragon Feather Star, my name is Jiang Ye, and I am number one on the [Conquest Ranking] and [Level Ranking].
"Does that make your thinking a little clearer?"
Jiang Ye? Jiang Yu? They share the same surname and both hail from Dragon Feather Star...
Really?
Yu Xiangnan's expression changed slightly as he stared at Jiang Ye and asked, "What is your relationship with Jiang Yu? Are you siblings? Or are you the one controlling the NPC that appeared back then...?"
Her words came to an abrupt halt. After a brief pause, all the previous complex questions boiled down to a single, simple question: "Jiang Yu isn't dead?"
“No, he’s dead…” Jiang Ye lowered her eyes slightly, and after a while, she casually uttered, “Xiao An has already digested him completely.”
After speaking, Jiang Ye reached out and patted the head of the lion named Xiao An beside her.
The lion seemed extremely docile, its eyes slightly narrowed, and its head nuzzled against Jiang Ye's hand. Its massive body appeared exceptionally gentle beside Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye continued, "You're quite clever; you guessed our relationship right away. In that chaotic instance, he and I weren't teammates. Now, with this perfect opportunity, we can finally take action and eliminate him. Speaking of which, I have to thank you guys for helping me weaken him."
"By the way, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to avenge him. I just heard you're the number one player in the new server."
Yu Xiangnan looked completely puzzled. "So what? Just because I'm ranked first, you deliberately sabotaged me behind my back?"
"The reason is actually very simple. In my world, I can only be number one, and I will not allow anyone to covet it." Jiang Ye reached out and slowly ran her hand through a strand of curly hair, her eyes flashing with a fierce and greedy light like a hungry wolf. "I like to dig out the stones under other people's feet and watch them fall hard in despair, shattering into pieces."
"You're a Crescent Moon player, right? The last person ranked number one on our planet was an idiot. The way he looked so terrified, desperate, and unwilling before he died was quite a sight for me. I still find it hilarious to this day, hahaha..."
Sharp, piercing laughter echoed in the air.
Yu Xiangnan had quickly calmed down by now. She stared at Jiang Ye and said, "What a twisted sense of humor."
"But let me correct you, I'm a Blue Star player, not Crescent Star."
Before she finished speaking, she had already taken the first step.
However, Jiang Ye seemed to have been prepared. When Yu Xiangnan swung his shovel and aimed it directly at her head, Jiang Ye instantly used a teleportation... no, to be precise, a position-swapping skill. In the blink of an eye, she swapped the player who had been swapped back to her original position, and she and the lion quickly disappeared from Yu Xiangnan's sight.
The player was completely bewildered after being switched positions twice in a row.
He stared at Yu Xiangnan, who had turned into a zombie, and before his terror could even turn into a scream, he was knocked unconscious by her karate chop, his face slamming straight to the ground with a crisp sound.
Yu Xiangnan sighed helplessly.
This dungeon is teeming with monsters and demons...
