The cave passage is three or four meters high and twists and turns, as if you are in a huge maze.
The rock walls glowed faintly, a pale green tinged through the pale white. There were gravels on the ground, and when you stepped on them, they made a constant rustling sound, and the sound of your footsteps echoed through the cave, stirring up waves of echoes.
Lu Cai followed not far behind the man in red, keeping a distance of about ten meters from him, paying attention to the noises around him and also paying attention to his movements.
After walking for a long time, they didn't encounter any monsters. However, Lu Cai noticed that every time he reached an intersection, the man in red would stand there for a while to judge the fork in the road. But when he walked away and Lu Cai went back, he didn't find anything special about the fork in the road.
After walking for a long time, she still didn't know where he was going. Lu Cai was considering whether they should go their separate ways. She didn't want to follow this pretentious man in red anymore.
As I was silently making plans, the cave shook twice and a thin crack appeared in the rock on the ground.
Lu Cai suddenly stepped back and dodged to the side. The man in red also hurriedly retreated a few steps, stopping not far in front of Lu Cai.
At the largest part of the crack in front, there are several smaller cracks spreading out, and the rocks on the ground look like the land in a paddy field that has been dried up by the sun.
With a loud bang, the ground rose, a gently sloping hill slowly rose, and gravel rolled down.
The rocks and sand fell away, revealing a round insect body...
Lu Cai frowned. Is this... a big fat scorpion?
The scorpion that emerged from the ground was so huge that it almost filled the entire stone passage. Its body seemed to have swelled up, blocking the passage. Its claws swelled into two round balls, and its originally slender legs seemed like swollen lotus roots. Its raised tail was caught between its body and the top of the cave.
"This scorpion is so fat, can it fight?" Lu Cai opened his eyes wide. He thought he was used to seeing all kinds of monsters, but now he realized that he had not seen much of the world.
The man in red in front still didn't say anything. He rushed forward with a knife in hand.
Lu Cai stood in the distance, also studying the red-clothed man's movements. Since he was a scavenger sent by the system, he must be more professional in fighting than the players and her, an NPC who had just started fighting.
With the awareness that if she doesn't fight now, she will have to fight in the future, she decided to study hard. Even if she can't learn it, it's okay to know both herself and the enemy.
The man in red was seen passing over the gravel like a ghost. But as soon as he approached the giant scorpion, he was discovered.
The scorpion raised its claws with clumsy movements, and its claws touched the ceiling of the cave, then slammed down towards the red shadow.
Lu Cai opened her eyes wide and saw the figure in red flash by, like a wisp of smoke, floating around and landing on the top of the scorpion's claws. The blade moved, and the cold light dazzled her eyes.
This person's movements were so fast that she closed her eyes slightly. If only she could take Shi Rukui's "photo card" with her. She could record it and study the enemy strategy carefully, and even give it to the soldiers in Stonewall Town to learn from...
When she opened her eyes again, she saw the long knife of the man in red pierced into the head of the giant scorpion. Its claws and legs swung wildly, and the scorpion's tail stretched forward. The insect's armor rubbed against the rock on the top of the cave, and many pieces of gravel fell down.
Leaping sideways to avoid falling rocks, Lu Cai steadied himself against the sidewall and looked up. The man in red was shaking the hilt of his knife, dodging the sting, while still thrusting the long knife hard into the scorpion's forehead. Perhaps the scorpion had expanded too much, and the knife had penetrated but failed to penetrate its vitals.
Looking at the falling rubble, Lu Cai breathed a sigh of relief. If the cave collapsed, it would be another troublesome problem.
She retracted her gaze and looked at the giant scorpion struggling beneath the long sword. Lu Cai was always the type to not procrastinate once he made a decision. He clenched his right fist, imbued it with a few strands of supernatural energy, planted his feet firmly, and charged forward with strength.
Like a sharp arrow shot from a bow, it suddenly appeared in front of the big scorpion.
The man in red felt a figure rushing towards him from behind. His hand holding the long sword did not loosen, but his body tilted slightly.
The sound of wind whistled past him, and a thin white fist hit directly below the place where his blade was inserted.
I could feel the insect's body twitching slightly and shaking as if it suddenly lost strength.
He gripped the long knife tightly, and the blade was much looser. He suddenly exerted force with his hand and stabbed the long knife into the insect's head.
Following Lu Cai's punch, the red threads, taking advantage of the blade's wound, quickly darted into the insect's body. They rapidly analyzed the data within the insect's body and copied similar data.
Lu Cai quickly retracted his fist and stepped back, watching the two forces clashing fiercely beneath the insect's body. The man in red grasped his knife and slashed horizontally, severing the scorpion monster's head. The blade, stained with foul-smelling mucus, buzzed in the air.
Red data continued to invade and rapidly replicated itself. After the man in red took a few steps back, it exploded all the way from the head of the giant scorpion to the base of its tail, and the stench filled the entire cave.
The big scorpion was like a big plug blocking a cave. It twitched violently a few times and fell towards the crack in the ground. Half of its body fell into the gap and then got stuck in the crack, revealing half of the cave passage.
Lu Cai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was a hole in Scorpion's forehead, which allowed her supernatural energy to enter and cause trouble. Thinking of this, she quietly set her eyes on the ring-handled long sword in the red-clothed man's hand.
The blade was silvery-white and sharp, its blade slender and straight. Under the brilliant fluorescent light of the rock, strange carvings could be seen on the blade's back. A single glance revealed the blade's murderous intent; even the slime couldn't conceal its cold, murderous aura.
Props are classified into different levels. For example, her dagger, a souvenir prop engraved with Lin Yong's name, should not be used as a weapon. It was also Lu Cai who forced the issue, forcing a "vase" dagger to bear the "weight of life" that it should not bear.
But the long sword in front of her was definitely out of print. She even guessed that there might not be a second one in the entire KB game.
Just... I'm so moved and jealous.
"I'm going to die! Which bastard did this?"
Lu Cai took out the dagger, held it in his right hand, and raised his head vigilantly.
From the sound of his voice, he was an adult man. His voice was pleasant and a little deep, but unfortunately the tone was rising, and the sharp and sarcastic tone could not be concealed, which ruined the beauty of the voice.
A figure in a dark blue robe ran over from the opposite side and suddenly jumped onto the body of the giant scorpion.
The man in the dark blue robe looked to be in his thirties, with a refined and elegant appearance, a mature and handsome man. But his eyes seemed to be blazing with fire, and he looked at the scorpion corpse at his feet like a little boy whose favorite toy had been smashed.
Willful, reckless, eccentric, and eccentric.
Several words popped up in Lu Cai's mind. More importantly, the data on the other party showed that he was also a player.
The look in the dark blue robe reminded her of "Zheng Miao" who used zombies to increase his abilities. That kind of madness was frightening.
He turned his angry eyes to the two people beside him, and when his eyes passed over Lu Cai's face, she felt as if a layer of skin had been peeled off. When his eyes fell on the face of the man in red, he suddenly stopped.
The anger disappeared, his eyes widened, and he looked a little confused.
He was confused for only a moment, then he was ecstatic: "Xiao Liu! You're finally here!"
All that whimsical and willful behavior vanished in an instant. The man in the dark blue robe leaped from the scorpion monster's back, tripped over a rock, and rushed over in a somewhat awkward manner.
The man in red moved quickly, raising his long sword and pointing the tip of the sword at the man rushing towards him.
The man in the dark blue robe braked hastily: "666, what are you doing?" He waved his sleeves in anger.
Lu Cai felt his eye twitch. 666? Which genius came up with this name?
666 remained unmoved, his eyes blank, and his sword didn't even waver.
The man in the dark blue robe was about to continue his outburst, but then he noticed the long scar running down from 666's ear. "What happened? Why is he disfigured?"
The scars on his face aren't a deliberate design, are they?
Lu Cai was a little surprised. After all, this was a game world. She had left the dungeon and entered the community area, and most injuries would heal on their own. Moreover, she had witnessed Shi Rukui's healing power, which could even heal a broken limb, let alone a scar...
As a lackey of the main system, you wouldn't just ignore the injury and not treat it, right?
But 666 still didn't say anything, and didn't even have a normal reaction.
Oh, by the way, he's not a normal person, he's an antivirus software...
The man in the dark blue robe looked serious, his eyes following the red scar down to stop at 666's throat.
"Is your voice coding damaged?" The man in the dark blue robe seemed to take a breath of cold air.
Lu Cai tried hard to conceal his shock and act calm. But inside, he was already incredibly excited. The words "voice coding damaged" strung together carried too much information.
According to her understanding, "voice coding" is roughly equivalent to the human vocal organs, and the man in the dark blue robe could tell at a glance that 666's voice coding was damaged, which was enough to show that he had a deep understanding of KB games.
666 showed no sign of warmly acknowledging him, maintaining a sword-like distance. After a long stalemate, perhaps due to 666's cold gaze, the man in the dark blue robe finally shifted his attention to Lu Cai.
"Are you a player?" He moved closer to Lu Cai and frowned. "What props did you get? Why are you covering yourself so tightly?"
Lu Cai met his eyes. He had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, their color was deep black, but they could see through his emotions at a glance.
"You are the player." She said it with certainty, "He is the scavenger." There was a hint of playfulness in her tone.
She remembered that when Qin Yu mentioned the scavenger, his face was full of displeasure and disgust.
"What's a scavenger?" The man in the dark blue robe looked puzzled, then realized that Lu Cai was trying to trick him. He snorted coldly, "You're not very old, but you're so good at tricking people."
"No clichés, just curiosity." Lu Cai was not embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed, and he just answered calmly.
"From your tone, you and Xiao Liu are not companions." The man in the dark blue robe spoke in a colder tone, and his phoenix eyes became gloomy.
Cai Lu almost bit his tongue, so the situation was two against one?
The young man in red beside him didn't even turn his head, still holding the knife, and walked towards the direction of the big scorpion. He jumped lightly onto the scorpion's corpse, then slowly walked over, then jumped off again, walking deeper into the cave.
The man in the dark blue robe didn't care about Lu Cai and quickly chased after him: "You're pretending not to know me! Why are you rushing into my house?"
