Chapter 291 Vines and Stone Houses
Without time to think, Nietzsche threw two True Fire Thunderbolt Talismans over his head. As soon as the talismans touched the vines, the flames quickly engulfed them.
Then, an extremely piercing scream sounded in the ears, followed by more vines attacking the players!
“Fuck!”
Everyone was startled. Some were casting spells, some were swinging swords, some were throwing talismans. The players tried almost everything they could against the vines, but unfortunately their movements were too slow. In the blink of an eye, they were rolled up by the vines and tied up like beads. Even Nietzsche was no exception.
Only Wu Ke, who had the fastest reaction, ran far away and hid.
"Old Wu, save——"
Before the turtle Qi Chun could even shout out the word "life", he was rolled up by vines and dragged towards the depths of the building ruins. He bumped into things all the way and was unable to utter a complete sentence.
The others were no less shocked. Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. For a moment, no one could react.
Except for Wu Ke, all the players brought by Nietzsche were dragged to an extremely strange house.
The house had no windows and was almost pitch black inside. Nietzsche turned up the brightness of the game screen to the highest setting, but still couldn't see clearly. He could only vaguely see that the house seemed to be full of people.
Fortunately, Nietzsche still knew how to communicate through the group microphone. She calmly analyzed in the group microphone: "Wu Ke, take a screenshot and ask the senior sister what this thing is. Maybe it's a small outdoor BOSS we don't know. Even if we want to fight it, we have to find its weakness and prescribe the right remedy!"
"no problem!"
Wu Ke was flying far in the sky, not daring to approach the place just now. He nodded and responded, "I just checked it, but nothing came out. I'll ask someone to ask the senior sister!"
Except for special circumstances, Fang Xianyu's alias Baili Shuang has basically fixed its whereabouts to make it easier for players to report special events.
However, even so, Wu Ke himself could not leave for a while. Everyone had worked hard to run the map here, if they were all wiped out and had to run again, everyone would collapse.
Therefore, Wu Ke set up a teleportation array in a place relatively far away from the ruins, and asked someone to find Baili Shuang and describe the matter of the vines to her.
"This... I'm sorry, I can't recognize what this is."
But what was unexpected was that the answer given by Baili Shuang was that she didn’t know him either!
This is troublesome!
Not only Wu Ke, but Nietzsche was also a little at a loss.
But she quickly changed her mind and said, "It's okay. Anyway, this thing should be a plant spirit. At the very least, it has something to do with plants. After all, it's a vine! If nothing works, burn all the trees in this area with fire, and you'll be able to find it!"
One player questioned: "What if this isn't a tree?"
Nietzsche choked: "Hiss... Let's talk about it later!"
Now that he had made the decision, Wu Ke did not waste any time. He immediately took out a number of talismans and prepared to blow up all the trees here one by one.
In order to avoid being caught by the vines, Wu Ke flew very fast and threw various talismans under every tree he could see.
However, those trees did not seem to have anything to do with the vines. Instead, every time Wu Ke flew lower, several vines would pop out and try to tie him up. But Wu Ke's reaction speed was so fast that he didn't have any chance at all. The most dangerous time was when a vine rubbed against Wu Ke's robe and waved, looking quite helpless and furious.
But this was not a solution. After burning many trees, no health bars or red names appeared, and the situation came to a stalemate.
What broke the deadlock was a shrill scream.
“They’re all zombies: Aaaaaaah!”
It turned out that although Guan Tangbao was tied up tightly, she habitually put a few pieces of coke stones in her backpack to serve as temporary lighting tools. So the first time she thought of this, Guan Tangbao tried to find a way to take out the coke stones.
The sudden appearance of bright light made everyone squint their eyes, and the first one to see the surroundings clearly was Guan Tang Bao!
The terrified scream attracted everyone's attention, but soon, others also started screaming.
There was no other reason. It turned out that in this stone house, the ground was filled with all kinds of corpses. Some looked like humans, while others looked like birds and beasts, all different.
Most of the human-shaped corpses were headless and looked similar to the headless people underground. Only a few of the corpses had heads, and they were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a lot of jewelry and jade.
Moreover, all the corpses seemed to have been here for a long time. No matter they were birds, beasts or headless people, their flesh and blood had long been dried up and tightly attached to the bones. Their shapes looked very scary. The soup dumpling even closed his eyes tightly and kept muttering something like "rich, strong and civilized" in his mouth.
As the president and leader of the group, Nietzsche was a bit braver, but he didn't dare to look at the corpses for too long - everyone had never seen such horrific things in the harmonious society of Blue Star, and the game "Ten Continents" was too realistic, making these horrific things so real!
She forced herself to look elsewhere, gritted her teeth and said, "Send the coordinates! Old Wu, go and look for this stone house somewhere!"
Wu Ke responded immediately and flew towards the team member's mark on the small map.
But when he flew to the place and took a look, he was dumbfounded - there were only bare stone pillars and broken walls, and there was no stone house at all!
Now, everyone began to feel confused.
"How is this possible? The game shows a bug?"
"No way, I've never heard of this game having this kind of display bug!"
Amid the discussion, someone who finally calmed down and forced himself to treat the corpses and monsters around him as cabbage soup dumplings proposed a possibility: "Could it be underground?"
Some players disagreed: "The stone house is built underground? Don't be ridiculous!"
"It may not be a stone house, maybe it's a cellar, but we just assumed it was a stone house!"
This guess made some sense, and the royal bamboo grass agreed: "That being said, it's not impossible!"
"Old Wu, thank you for your hard work. You are the hope of the whole village!" Qi Chun, the turtle, also shouted in the group microphone: "Let's dig on the spot! I think it's also a cellar!"
Other players followed suit and came up with bad ideas: "Old Wu, there's nothing you can do. How about asking for help? Find a player with earth spirit roots to help dig?"
"If it were you, I'd just blow it up! Save time and effort!"
"What if we are killed in the explosion? It would be hilarious if the wild boss didn't kill us but was killed by our teammates!"
"If I die, I die. At worst, I can just wait for the resurrection CD!"
"No! I don't want to wait for the CD in a small dark room!"
"It's no different now than being locked up in a dark room waiting for the CD!"
“…”
