After Zhao Yan woke up, he immediately checked the new messages in the system. Not surprisingly, they were all about the flower-skinned snake player and 666.
Just at this moment, he saw the kitten 666 looking up again.
The kitten's expression is truly amazing, showing innocence and naivety to the extreme.
Can an antivirus software that has been killing people all year round really be so naive?
Zhao Yan didn't believe it, but the other party was 666...
At this moment, the kitten shifted its gaze and met Zhao Yan's. Zhao Yan showed no guilt and did not dodge, even deliberately testing his stance.
666 stared at him, remaining indifferent the entire time. When she was sure that Zhao Yan was not about to speak, she calmly looked away.
Zhao Yan: “…”
"Come down quickly when you wake up. Are you really planning to take a free ride all the way?" Judge Lu's cold voice suddenly rang out. Although the volume was low, Zhao Yan was still startled.
His body tilted and he fell off the horse.
After all, he is an old player. Even though he is a Pekingese now, his reaction speed is still there.
Lu Cai ignored him. When he slipped off the horse, she glanced at him and saw the Pekingese dog fall to the ground, then was caught by a small vine and quickly stabilized.
"What should we do with the spotted snake?" Zhao Yan followed Lu Cai with his short legs.
666's affairs were none of his business. Besides, Lu Cai was a person with her own opinions and ideas. She had made her own judgment, and no one else was allowed to interfere.
But this spotted snake is really troublesome.
"I can only take it with me for now—" Lu Cai glanced at the flower-skinned snake hanging in the air, "I can't just dig a hole and bury it..."
The spotted snake, which had just woken up, stiffened visibly for a moment. Zhao Yan shut his mouth. He shouldn't have said too much. He felt that Lu Cai was capable of burying a living snake.
......
Since they have grabbed the role, they have to perform it well. Children's play is also a genre, and they intend to complete the performance seriously.
After much inquiry, a horse, a cat, a dog, and a tied-up spotted snake successfully found the ancient temple in the mountains.
How smooth is it?
It went so smoothly that even Lu Cai suspected that the plot was holding back a big move.
"Why is there no danger along the way?" Zhao Yan followed Lu Cai, hiding in the grass, poking his head out from under the leaves, looking at the ancient temple across the ridge in the distance.
This is clearly an adventure movie... Even if it's a children's show, there should be a more IQ-reduced version of the adventure, right?
Lu Cai knelt on the ground. This sitting position was very inconvenient for her. However, there were no large branches around to provide shelter, so she could only endure it for the time being.
"If we hand over the things and the branch line is not completed, what should we do then?"
Zhao Yan's eyes widened: "You mean, this temple is fake?"
Lu Cai was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I suspect this mission is fake."
Zhao Yan: “?”
"Logically speaking, if we steal the Buddha treasure from the mall, this movie shouldn't exist." Lu Cai still insisted on his original idea.
But the side quest did not end there. According to the plot of the movie, they returned the Buddhist treasure to the ancient temple and their journey was still peaceful.
Therefore, the Buddha treasure is no longer the key.
She opened the system interface and started a group chat.
[Lu Jian: @Everyone, is everyone okay?]
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yan couldn't keep up with her thoughts for a moment. In the last second he was saying that this movie shouldn't exist, and in the next second he was concerned about the safety of his companions.
When did she become so united and friendly?
[Yue Xiaoyan: I've reunited with Shi Rukui and the others. Are you still in the side storyline?]
[Lu Cai: Zhao Yan and I are together, and we're having some minor issues.]
[Lu Cai: Qin Yu didn’t reply?]
[Yue Xiaoyan: Yes, Qin Yu hasn’t replied in a long time!]
Zhao Yan looked at the group chat messages and realized that Qin Yu had not sent any messages for a long time.
[Judicial Lu: Everyone, please be careful.]
"What's going on?" Zhao Yan was still in a daze, feeling that everything was like thousands of thin threads that were impossible to grasp.
Lu Cai shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel like there's something wrong with this copy."
Of course it's not right! If it's right, they will turn into animals?
"Let's first find a way to sneak into the ancient temple." Lu Cai slowly stood up and retreated into the bushes.
"Isn't it dangerous? We still have to go to the ancient temple?" Zhao Yan followed with small steps, and the kitten also followed nimbly at the end.
Lu Cai turned and walked down a small bush path on the side: "It's because it's dangerous that we have to go..."
When clearing dungeons, isn't it just that the more you commit suicide, the more likely you are to survive?
If you wait quietly, you will miss all chances of survival.
Unless there is a high-powered player to lead the team... Unfortunately, Lu Cai does not trust others, and does not want to pin his hopes on others.
The ancient temple in the mountains is closely related to the plot of the movie, and it is very peaceful, so it is very likely that it contains the key to the challenge.
Moreover, she suspected that the entire subplot had been tampered with. Everything was peaceful and stable, which meant that they were already imprisoned.
Therefore, if you want to break through at this time, you can only increase the difficulty by yourself.
——
On the streets of the ancient town, a young man put on a red vest.
In the iron cage on the cart in front of him, in addition to the white-legged falcon, there was also a pale yellow pudding mouse and a water ball containing a black and white butterfly-tailed goldfish.
"What should I do? I can't contact Qin Yu!" The goldfish jumped up and down in the water ball, rolling around in anxiety.
Seeing her anxious, the little hamster consoled her, "Maybe the signal is bad. The signal interference in this instance is a bit strong."
"Signal interference?" Xiao Falcon caught the key words in her words.
The little hamster nodded. "When I first entered the dungeon, I felt the air was stagnant and all kinds of signals were mixed together."
Lao Ke pushed the cart forward, his tone slightly doubtful: "Can you sense the difference in the copy's data?
"Is this a data anomaly?" Hua Xiaochi looked up at the young man's face. After a while, his head felt sore and he lowered it again.
"In the dungeon, everything is data, including you and me." Lao Ke paused. "You can actually sense data anomalies. What is your ability?"
"Control the fire." Hua Xiaochi answered obediently.
This surprised Lao Ke a bit. Being able to sense dungeon data was supposed to be a psychic ability. For example, Qin Yu's telekinesis, Yue Xiaoyan's shamanic ability, and Shi Rukui's healing power.
Although fire control is a form of manipulation, it is a physical attack.
Why can she sense the changes in data?
The fire was carried by the wind, so could it be that the unusual data had disrupted the aura and affected the flames?
That makes sense.
"Now that Lu Cai, Zhao Yan and Qin Yu are all gone, what should we do?" Yue Xiaoyan felt sad. This was a huge reduction in combat power, and she didn't know how combat power this Lao Ke was.
She raised her head slightly, looked at the gentle young man, and lowered her head with despair.
He might not even be able to beat his own pet scorpion...
"Should we wait for Lu Cai and the others to come out, or go find the Boss first?" Shi Rukui asked.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
After a while, a chuckling sound came from above my head.
Lao Ke smiled and said, "Why, without that girl, you can't even pass the level?"
"This is called self-knowledge." Yue Xiaoyan never felt ashamed to admit that she was weak.
After all, if a weak person tries to be brave, it will not only be embarrassing, but also cost his life.
Unless it is a critical moment or a last resort, who would not cherish his life?
"Our abilities haven't recovered yet—" Shi Rukui said, "and among the three of us, only Hua Xiaochi has an attack-type ability. If we rashly start a boss fight, we'll be at a disadvantage."
He stopped talking here, looked up at Lao Ke and said, "How about you help us fight?"
"No! I'm just a tool and I won't cause any trouble for you guys." Lao Ke decisively suppressed the smile on his face to avoid getting himself into trouble.
The cart wheels rolled over the stone slabs as it slowly moved along.
"Over there--" Hua Xiaochi suddenly raised his little head and looked diagonally to the left, his whole body tense and his eyes focused.
Yue Xiaoyan quickly flicked her tail, and the water ball rolled to the side: "What's wrong?"
"There is a heat wave from the flames..." Hua Xiaochi tilted his head and blinked, but he didn't see any thick smoke from the fire over there.
"If it's a fire, there should be an alarm..." Xiao Falcon also jumped to the left, looking at that direction intently.
“Duoduoduo——”
Scorpion Dali also came over to join in the fun, and Yue Xiaoyan rolled over: "Dali, you have to be dedicated. You are a puppet now, don't be OOC..."
"It looks like a temple. How about we go over and take a look?" Lao Ke paused in front of a street sign. "An ancient temple deep in the mountains?"
Hua Xiaochi didn't move, as if his stress response had become rigid.
"Xiao Chi?" Yue Xiaoyan hurried over and called her.
The little hamster regained consciousness and looked at the little goldfish in the water ball beside him in confusion: "Are you sure your two friends are in the side story? I seem to have sensed two waves of supernatural powers..."
"Maybe there are other players!" Yue Xiaoyan became alert, "We have to be careful!"
I just heard from Lu Cai that the snake player attacked 666. Because of this reason, they tacitly did not mention that there was a "third companion" on Lu Cai's side.
It’s not that I doubt Hua Xiaochi will backstab me, it’s just...the snake player named Guan Chengyu entered the dungeon in a team with Hua Xiaochi.
You must always be on guard against others.
Hua Xiaochi shook his head, very sure of his judgment: "That heat wave is the trace of Guan Chengyu's 'explosion'."
Yue Xiaoyan: “???”
Shi Rukui was very cautious: "Are our two companions and Guan Chengyu in the temple?"
"Yes." Hua Xiaochi frowned, "The signal over there was interfered with by three forces. One was the heat wave from the explosion, one was the fragrance of the grass and trees, and the other..."
It's a very strange force, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, and it's moving quickly.
The young man pushing the cart from behind unconsciously quickened his pace. He didn't say anything, but his eyes flashed brightly under the brim of his hat.
Yue Xiaoyan quickly opened the group chat interface.
[Yue Xiaoyan: @Lu Cai @Zhao Yan, did you enter a temple? Did you blow up the temple?]
[Lu Cai:?]
[Lu Cai: Can you still watch the live broadcast there?]
It’s really in the ancient temple, Yue Xiaoyan continued to ask.
[Yue Xiaoyan: Were you three separated? Is it serious?]
[Yue Xiaoyan: We are on our way there.]
[Shi Rukui: The place we're going to should be the filming location for your temple.]
[Yue Xiaoyan: Yes, yes]
She also realized that she couldn't express herself clearly.
[Yue Xiaoyan: Xiaochi can sense the interference between the signals and can sense your presence.]
[Lu Cai: In the main world, can you sense the signal interference in the side storyline?]
[Shi Rukui: Yes, it might be connected.]
Due to some unknown factors, the barrier between the side story and the main world was broken.
Perhaps Lu Cai and the others can break away from the side storyline based on this connecting factor.
