Bu Ya glanced at the team's mission, then smiled at the two women and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yu Xiangnan and Huo Qingyi exchanged a glance and nodded in perfect unison.
Just charge in, no chickens out!
But... what should we do with this giant Rhino crocodile? We can't just drag it all the way to the manor, can we?
Buya realized this as well and acted quickly, nimbly dragging the Rhino crocodile to a relatively flat and clean place.
"Wait for me," she said.
Bo Ya took a sharp knife from her card album and plunged it into the carcass of the Rona crocodile, slowly slicing it open along specific lines.
The blade rubbed against the hard scales, making a sizzling sound. Before long, she had precisely separated each edible part.
Seeing her skillful movements, Yu Xiangnan couldn't help but ponder to himself.
It seems this isn't the first time Bo Ya has done this...
Additionally, she's now curious whether NPC corpses can be stored in [body bags]. After all, the method for using [body bags] is: touch the corpse with the body bag to put the corpse into it; each body bag can hold a maximum of one corpse and can be reused.
The text does not specify what kind of "corpse" it refers to.
I can try it next time when no one is around.
After cutting off the edible parts, Boya took out an unidentified bag from the card holder, put all the meat into it, and finally tied the bag around her waist.
With everything prepared, the three quickly headed towards the abandoned manor.
Other teams may have drawn the same task as them, so they need to be even more vigilant.
The manor was quiet and peaceful, with its gates wide open.
To avoid being ambushed by players already in the manor, the three decided after careful consideration not to use the wide-open main gate, but to quietly climb over the wall instead.
It was a dark and windy night. After easily climbing over the wall, Yu Xiangnan discovered that it seemed to be a courtyard.
The courtyard was a desolate garden, overgrown with weeds, with only a few withered branches remaining. The fountain had long since dried up, and the pool was filled with fallen leaves and moss. The main building of the estate was a magnificent castle-like structure. The windows were blurred by mist, obscuring the view inside.
From the moment all three successfully scaled the wall, the "Stay in the manor for 24 hours" condition of Task One took effect.
The next task is to find the [Rose Heart] in the abandoned manor.
"Wait a minute, let me see if there's anyone inside."
Buya stopped, raised one hand, straightened her index finger, and bent the other fingers naturally. Then she rotated her wrist, and her fingertips drew an arc in the air.
In an instant, a tiny, transparent, fiery red figure appeared out of thin air.
This tiny figure is only the size of a palm, with no facial features, just simple limbs. Its entire body is a bright, fiery red with a semi-transparent texture, like a blazing flame.
It floated in mid-air, then sped toward the main building like a bolt of lightning, at an astonishing speed.
The little fire spirit can detect all NPCs and players within a 100-meter radius centered on Buya and briefly display their locations. Standing here, you can just detect the situation inside the main building.
After a moment, Bu Ya spoke up: "We haven't found any players or NPCs inside yet, but it's still better to be careful."
Yu Xiangnan and Huo Qingyi nodded.
There were no lights inside, and you could hardly see anything.
None of the three had any skills related to "lighting," but fortunately, Yu Xiangnan still had the powerful flashlight he obtained in the first survival dungeon in his card book, which could provide temporary illumination.
With Bo Ya's skills, there's no need to worry too much about light sources revealing their location. In this way, they won't be put in a passive position because of the darkness.
There's no way around it; this is what happens when you're deficient in vitamin A.
Yu Xiangnan turned on the high-powered flashlight.
It was as bright as day.
The three of them looked closely and saw that the chandelier in the hall was swaying precariously, the dusty furniture was leaning to one side, and the steps were covered with fallen leaves and dust.
Holding a shovel in one hand and a powerful flashlight in the other, Yu Xiangnan cautiously looked around.
Whether it's the "Tears of the Elf" continuously enhancing her mental strength or not, she can now barely sense any movement within a radius of about thirty meters centered on herself.
Sure enough, there were signs that players had been here.
They quickly searched the area. Although they didn't encounter any other players, they did find several corpses.
The card albums on these player corpses were all looted, indicating that it wasn't the NPCs in the manor who did it. It's highly likely that two teams of players encountered each other, one team was defeated, and the other team, after looting their card albums, stayed here temporarily, waiting for the team's quest to be issued before being forced to leave the manor to complete it.
This manor is so conspicuous, it's best to be cautious, since players or NPCs could appear at any time.
At least getting a good night's sleep is out of the question...
The three found a relatively spacious room with a door and decided to make do with sleeping on the floor for the next couple of days.
After settling the accommodation issue, the next step is to prepare the Rona crocodile meat.
If we don't grill and eat this meat today, it will definitely spoil by tomorrow, given the temperature.
Fortunately, there is a small grove of trees next to the manor courtyard. The trees themselves can serve as good cover. As long as you are careful to control the fire and smoke, the probability of being noticed by other players is relatively low.
