Players' attention was also attracted by "zombies".
"Wait... zombies?" Zhuang Yan subconsciously lowered his voice: "There are zombies in this inn? I didn't see any coffins when I was walking around before. Could they be hiding in the basement or attic?"
Yun Yu pursed her lips and said, "Legend has it that zombies are invulnerable to swords and guns, have great strength, and survive by sucking blood. They also carry corpse poison in their bodies. If they are scratched or bruised, they may turn into zombies... It seems that we are in big trouble this time."
Zhuang Yan touched his chin and said, "It's invulnerable to swords and guns. Can we set it on fire?"
Yun Yu shook her head: "I don't know. After all, we have never encountered zombies before."
"Practice makes perfect. Once you try it, you'll know if it works," Yue said. "If there are zombies hiding in the inn, there must be ways to control them."
Zhuang Yan nodded: "That's right, just like the jar of spirit insect wine, the traps set in the dungeon are all solvable, so we don't need to worry too much."
No one spoke, and the inn fell silent for a short while. The sound of raindrops could be heard outside the door.
Yunyu looked towards the window: "It seems to be raining outside."
A traveler lowered his voice and said, "Let's go and rest early. This hotel is weird. It's better not to hang around. As soon as it gets light tomorrow, we will ask the tour guide to take us away from this damn place."
"Alas, if I had known this place was so weird, I would not have come here even if the temple was very effective. Look, I almost lost my life twice before I even visited the temple."
The travelers went upstairs together to rest, and only the players were left in the lobby of the inn. They had already built up a certain level of trust in each other during the process of dealing with troubles, so they didn't feel strange being together at this moment and exchanged names in a very friendly manner.
Yueya also created a player group and invited everyone to join.
Fatty's game ID is also called Fatty. He said to Yueya, "We have to earn enough money to buy our lives before we can pass the level. So you saved us with your life. I, Fatty, am not an ungrateful person. I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."
The other three players also expressed their opinions, saying that they would definitely pay back the money.
"It's up to you," Yue Ya glanced at the time. "Before midnight, I suggest you thoroughly investigate the inn. Since there may be zombies hiding in the inn and we haven't found a way to restrain them, it's best not to act alone."
The players were about to team up to investigate when the doorbell of the inn suddenly rang.
“Ding—ding—”
The bells rang one after another, echoing over the inn.
The butler opened his eyes and slowly went to open the door.
A man dressed as a Taoist priest stood outside the door. He put down his oil-paper umbrella, smiled and bowed to the housekeeper: "I was on my way at night, but it suddenly started to rain. I only have a thin paper umbrella and can't walk far. I had no choice but to knock on your door shamelessly, just begging for a place to stay for one night."
"It's you again," the housekeeper said, "All the rooms are booked. You should sleep in the utility room on the first floor as before."
According to the housekeeper, this Taoist priest is not the first time to stay overnight.
"Thank you very much." The Taoist priest walked into the inn holding an oil-paper umbrella.
The Taoist priest put away his umbrella and saw other people in the lobby, so he came over to say hello.
Zhuang Yan looked him up and down and asked, "Are you a Taoist priest?"
"Exactly."
Zhuang Yan asked again: "Is it the kind that can catch zombies?"
Taoist priest: "It's not my specialty, but I know a thing or two."
What you need will come to you. The players were a little excited when they heard this. A player named Big Eyes asked the Taoist priest: "When you said you were driving at night, you were not driving away zombies, were you?"
"I am not good at driving corpses, I am traveling alone." The Taoist said this, looked around, and said softly: "Meeting is fate. I would like to remind you that this is not an ordinary inn, you should not stay for long."
It was obvious at first glance that this Taoist priest was no ordinary NPC. Yue Ya asked him to sit down and said, "We cannot leave the inn for the time being. The Taoist priest is very experienced, so why not give us some pointers?"
"My little Taoist skill is not that profound," the Taoist brushed off the water droplets on his clothes, sat down and sighed, "I have walked a long way and now I am hungry. I really don't have the energy to talk."
Everyone present was a smart person, so how could they not understand the Taoist's voice-over? If they didn't invite him to dinner, they could forget about getting any information from him.
There is a 24-hour window in the kitchen where guests can place orders at any time. Yue Ya walked to the window and a white hand stretched out from it, handing him a menu.
The cheapest midnight snack set costs 1,000 yuan. Yue Ya ordered a set without chicken, and only 4,000 yuan was left.
[Even the news has to be purchased. This dungeon really puts the word "money" into practice]
[Baby, I’m so poor, I feel bad]
[This information is quite expensive, it better be useful, otherwise we will definitely take it back from you with interest]
The Taoist drank a bowl of warm soup and said seriously, "Three days from now will be the night of the lunar eclipse. The yin energy will overwhelm the human energy, and the zombies' magic power will increase greatly. Even if the great immortals come, they can't save you. So you only have two choices now, either leave the inn before then, or get rid of the zombies with weak magic power before then."
To leave the inn, you need to collect enough money to buy life, and to collect enough money to buy life, you need to pull out the zombies' teeth, so players have no other choice. They can only find a way to deal with the zombies hiding in the inn.
Yue Ya looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Master, please tell me how to deal with the zombies."
"Zombies are a kind of corpse monsters. Ordinary zombies are afraid of sunlight and magical talismans and instruments. They hate fire and heat," the Taoist priest paused. "Pulling out the teeth and nails of zombies can also reduce their aggressiveness, but this is more difficult than pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth."
Zhuang Yan scratched his head: "Zombies just hate fire and can't be burned?"
The Taoist nodded: "The mutated corpses are not so easy to burn, but using fire can scare them."
Zhuang Yan felt a little regretful, but he still wanted to practice it again.
Yueya thought for a moment and asked, "Will their teeth and nails grow back after being pulled out?"
The Taoist replied: "Of course, it will definitely grow back in half a day at the fastest and a day at the slowest. The more times you pull it out, the faster it will grow."
Yue Ya smiled: "This is good, as long as we can catch a zombie..."
"There will be an endless supply of zombie teeth," Zhuang Yan said excitedly, "and we will be rich!!"
[This is probably the question and answer session about zombies]
[You guys even want to raise zombies now? That’s crazy (I like it, hurry up)]
[Listen to me, zombies, run away! Otherwise, you will lose your teeth.]
[A zombie tooth costs 20,000 yuan. Hehe, you will be rich if you catch one.]
"You haven't encountered zombies yet, so you don't know how powerful zombies are." The Taoist shook his head: "Before learning how to catch zombies, you must first learn how to save your life."
"Then the Taoist priest will teach us two moves?"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "First, zombies are blind. They can't see people and can only track prey by smell. So you have to hold your breath when you encounter zombies! Second, ordinary zombies can't fly or climb trees. If you can find a high place where they can't go, then you will be safe."
These two tricks are indeed very practical, and the players have memorized them.
Yue Ya curved her lips and smiled gently: "Master, you have said so much, be a good person and tell us how to find the zombies."
"To find zombies, you need to go to the darkest and heaviest place with corpse qi..." The Taoist tapped the table with his chopsticks and said, "I'll show you a clear way. This is the Yin-Yang world where no one knows anything. This inn is the only inn on the road to the netherworld. My junior brother has been here before and hid three things in the zombies' coffins. Find all those things and I'll teach you how to draw talisman paper."
“……” To hide things in the coffin, your junior brother really knows how to find a place.
