Chapter 42 is too cruel.
Mo Ming opened the system chat window, glanced at it, and laughed speechlessly. Luo Qing, seeing this, also curiously opened the chat area, only to find that they had sent the following message:
[There's treasure at the island entrance, come quick!]
Luo Qing and Fang Tai's eyes met, a hint of doubt and helplessness flashing in both of their eyes.
“These people, really…” Luo Qing shook her head, her tone tinged with amusement and helplessness.
Luo Qing and Mu Qimeng exchanged a smile; they were already used to such little tricks.
A sly glint flashed in Luo Qing's eyes. She whispered to Mo Ming, "Since they want to play, let's play along."
Mo Ming nodded, a playful smile on his face.
The two quickly typed text into the chat box and sent it anonymously.
[There's a trap at the island entrance, be careful!]
This news caused a huge stir and spread rapidly among the players.
The players who had just been excitedly rushing towards the island's entrance suddenly stopped in their tracks, looking at each other with hesitation and confusion on their faces.
"Should we still go?" one of the players in the group asked hesitantly, his eyes darting back and forth between the chat box and the entrance to the small island ahead.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling their faces and adding a touch of mystery and uncertainty to the tense atmosphere.
A gentle sea breeze carries the salty scent of the sea and the calls of distant fishing boats, as if whispering secrets of the ocean's depths.
The other players in the team also fell silent, looking at each other with hesitant and confused expressions.
Whether to go or not, this question lingered in their minds.
Just then, a daring player gritted his teeth and decided to take the lead.
He gripped his weapon tightly, took a deep breath, and strode towards the entrance to the small island ahead.
Seeing this, the other players also mustered their courage and followed behind him.
This scene occurred simultaneously in several queues near the entrance to the island.
Like them, most players, having already come this far, chose to continue towards the island's entrance.
Meanwhile, Luo Qing and Fang Tai had already covered their faces and quietly circled around to the other side of the island, preparing to welcome the players who had been attracted by the news.
The sunlight, like a thin veil, dappled across the other side of the island, adding a touch of mystery to this secluded place.
Luo Qing and Fang Tai hid in the shadows of the trees, quietly waiting for their prey to arrive.
Soon, Luo Qing heard a series of noises coming from the distant sea, as a group of players excitedly ran towards the island.
Their faces were filled with greed and anticipation, as if they could already see the treasure right in front of them.
Luo Qing and Fang Tai exchanged a smile, a sly glint in their eyes.
They didn't rush to make a move, but quietly observed the movements of the group of players.
Just then, a player dressed in magnificent armor suddenly stood out from the crowd. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, as if he had sensed something was wrong.
He looked around, trying to spot the hidden danger.
Luo Qing and Fang Tai couldn't help but admire this scene in their hearts.
This player is really vigilant, but since they're already here, there's no reason to let them go easily.
Luo Qing smiled gently, a sly glint in her eyes.
She typed another message in the chat box and then sent it anonymously to the selected area.
[There's a trap at the island entrance, be careful!]
This message was like a thunderbolt, exploding among the players.
The players, who had just been excited, instantly panicked. They looked around, trying to spot the hidden danger.
"Who sent this message?!"
"Since I'm already here, even if it's a ghost, I'm going to carry one back with me!"
"..."
Just then, Luo Qing and Fang Tai appeared silently behind the group of players, like ghosts.
Luo Qing smiled slightly, took out a small bottle from her bosom, and gently unscrewed the cap.
A faint fragrance instantly filled the air; it was some carefully prepared paralyzing powder.
With a gentle wave of her hand, the medicinal powder drifted towards the group of players like a fine mist.
Before the players could react, they felt a tingling sensation throughout their bodies, as if an invisible force had bound their movements.
They stared in terror, trying to break free of the restraints, but their bodies grew heavier and heavier until they collapsed to the ground one by one.
Luo Qing and Fang Tai looked at the fallen players with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Their plan succeeded; the players were completely unaware that they had been drugged.
Seeing this, the remaining players scattered in terror, trying to escape this dangerous place.
However, they were unaware that another crisis awaited them.
Qi Ru and Mo Ming had already covered their faces and hidden behind the surrounding bushes and rocks, quietly waiting for their prey to arrive.
When they saw the panicked players fleeing in all directions, they acted swiftly.
Qi Ru appeared silently behind a player, like a ghost.
She quickly reached out and grabbed the player's shoulders firmly, then covered his mouth and nose with a white cloth smeared with medicine.
The player struggled in terror, but his body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, unable to move, and could only fall down helplessly.
At the same time, Mo Ming also silently approached another player.
He nimbly pounced on the player from behind, his arms as strong as steel, locking the player's throat tightly.
The player struggled, but the inexplicable strength seemed to come from a ferocious beast, making it impossible for him to break free. In the end, he could not escape the fate of being drugged.
Luo Qing and Fang Tai stood still, their faces radiating mystery and majesty in the gentle breeze and sunlight.
They stood before a group of powerless players, wielding gleaming weapons, as if they were the masters of the island, coercing these players, who had just been filled with greed and expectation, to hand over their tokens.
Luo Qing's eyes were as cold as ice as she coldly surveyed the group of players lying on the ground. Her voice carried an undeniable authority: "Hand over your tokens, or don't blame us for being impolite."
The players looked at each other, their hearts filled with fear and resentment.
They thought coming to this island would be a treasure hunt, but they never expected it to end like this.
However, faced with Luo Qing and Fang Tai's coercion, they had no choice but to obediently hand over their tokens.
Luo Qing looked at the token in her hand with satisfaction, a sly glint in her eyes.
Then, she pulled a small bottle filled with liquid from her bosom, pretending it was the antidote.
"I don't intend to hurt you. This is the antidote. Just behave yourselves."
She walked up to the players who had been drugged and poured the "antidote" on them one by one.
The liquid brought an instant cooling sensation when it touched the players' skin.
Players felt the numbness gradually subside and their bodies slowly regain sensation.
The players looked at Luo Qing in surprise. They had expected to be treated more severely, but they did not expect to be "rescued" in this way.
Looking at their expressions, Luo Qing couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
