Chapter 62 I will definitely wear them out!
Holst raised his eyelids, looked at him calmly, and pointed at Scarlett, "My mistress is there."
What I mean is that I have to kowtow to Scarlett and apologize to her. She has the final say on whether I can be forgiven or not.
Eugene understood and turned to kowtow to Scarlett. "Thank you for saving my mistress despite past grudges. I had no choice but to lie just now. I hope you can forgive me."
Scarlett didn't like people kowtowing to her, so she waved her hands to refuse. "Just get up. You're welcome. It's just a small favor. As long as it helps you, that's all."
Eugene did not get up, but remained kneeling where he was, and said solemnly, "Ask me whatever you want to ask. This time I will tell you everything I know."
Scarlett moved aside, avoiding Eugene's kneeling, and said softly, "I don't really have anything to ask. I'm just curious about how you got injured. The blood flowing from your wounds looks normal, not like the marks of a poisonous corpse attack. Were you attacked by someone else?"
Eugene nodded heavily. "Yes. We were attacked by another team. Six people died. Now there are only three of us left."
As soon as these words came out.
Scarlett felt a noticeable tremor in her heart.
The shock made the blood in her body completely stop flowing, and her hands and feet were covered with a layer of coldness.
When leveling up in the Lost Continent, casualties are inevitable, but six people dying at once, and at the hands of other teams, is a big shock to Scarlett.
Even if these people didn't die in front of her.
She still had the illusion that the smell of blood was blowing in her face.
She couldn't refuse.
She has to accept it.
There was a pause of several seconds.
Scarlett continued to ask: "Which team attacked you? Do you remember?"
It happened ten minutes ago, and he remembered every scene clearly.
The appearance of that group of people was also engraved in his mind, and it was difficult to forget it.
A trace of grief flashed across Eugene's pale face, mingled with a hint of gnashing hatred. He replied, "I remember. It's a team of seven. The female leading the team is tall and muscular, while the male is lifeless and quiet. At the end of the team are three small, highly recognizable poisonous corpses. Be careful if you encounter them."
Scarlett said silently in her heart: We have met a long time ago.
But it also feels strange.
Nothing unusual happened during Hela's two encounters with them. Although her attitude was cold, she appeared to be tolerable.
Why did they attack Eugene when they met him?
Is there any vision?
Scarlett immediately asked, "Why did they attack you?"
Eugene was silent for a few seconds, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."
He really didn't know.
They were looking for shelter when the other party suddenly appeared and attacked them without saying a word. Their methods were fierce and vicious, and every move was deadly.
If he hadn't brought a protective shield.
More than six people died.
They will all die.
The pain on Eugene's face became more and more intense. Scarlett couldn't bear to ask any more questions. She pursed her lips and said, "Thank you."
…
…
The poisonous gas dissipated.
The night outside the shelter grew darker.
The time came to ten o'clock in the evening.
Just wait for the last round of poison gas to arrive, and today will be over.
There are no street lights around, and everything is hidden in the darkness. The undulating buildings are like a black dragon, winding to the end of the road and connecting with the night.
It is difficult to tell whether the farthest thing ahead is the road or the sky swallowed by darkness.
"There are no poisonous corpses."
Chiye looked around but found no trace of the poisonous corpse.
This is a very strange phenomenon.
The poisonous gas gave birth to poisonous corpses, which lurked beside living things, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
However, this time the poison gas disappeared and they didn't see a single poisonous corpse.
Compare with previous times.
There are poisonous corpses every time.
Why did it disappear this time?
Chiye was very puzzled.
Without the poisonous corpse, they couldn't find the key, and if they couldn't find the key, they couldn't get out, and things would become more and more troublesome.
He hates trouble.
Scarlett had a bold idea upon hearing this. Seeing she was surrounded by her own people, she spoke out, "Could it be that the small poisonous corpses can attract other poisonous corpses? Hela could use them to draw the poisonous corpses to her, then capture them all and take the key. That way, no one would get the key. They would be the ones controlling this leveling game, and we need to follow their lead."
"unreasonable."
Holst questioned, "If they want to get exclusive items, the fewer people left here, the better. Why would they want to monopolize the keys?"
Chi Ye also said: "That's right. She should let them go. How could she keep them here?"
Scarlett thought about it and rejected the idea.
But on second thought, she had a new insight.
She asked Chiye, "Are there any additional conditions for the appearance of exclusive items? For example, do all the people who are leveling up have to stay here? Or is it that whoever kills more monsters has a higher chance of the item appearing next to them?"
Chiye shook his head hesitantly: "I don't know."
Bounty hunters are a profession, and only they know the tricks of getting items.
Chiye has never gotten exclusive props, so he is not very clear about it. The information he knows is all told to him by others.
After listening to Scarlett's words, Holst recalled the relevant information. An idea suddenly occurred to him and he said, "Yes. There is a way to activate the double exclusive item. That is to kill everyone in the leveling area."
"We are orcs, and after a mental breakdown, we are equivalent to monsters in a sense."
"I guess the reason Eugene and the others were attacked must be because someone was low-level, lost their minds, became mentally abnormal, and turned into a beast."
Unfortunately, Eugene and the others left, so this idea could not be verified.
Scarlett suppressed her fear of the word "kill" and looked at Holst. "You mean, they will attack the orcs who have transformed into beasts?"
"That's right."
Holts narrowed his eyes slightly and said word by word, "They will try to transform everyone into beast form, and then kill them to activate double exclusive items."
The words were murderous.
Scarlett shuddered.
But she also found a breakthrough and said with an open mind: "If we don't transform into beasts, we won't have to die."
Holst raised the corners of his mouth and smiled gently, as if laughing at Scarlett's naiveté.
He lifted his eyelids, his smoky-gray pupils gleaming brightly beneath his thick lashes. "Your Highness, if we can't find the poisonous corpse, we won't be able to get the key, and we'll remain here forever. The fog of the Lost Continent will grow thicker, and our minds will become weaker and weaker. Sooner or later, we'll become their meal."
"No, no."
Scarlett raised her index finger and waved it in front of Holst's eyes. "We're wasting time, and they're also wasting time. It's still unclear who will be the winner."
Scarlett glanced Holst up and down, her chin raised in a defiant tone. "Or does SSS-class Captain Holst feel he can't outlast them and wants to surrender early?"
Holst raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Scarlett's words, and he became curious.
I'm curious about where Scarlett's overly open-minded self-confidence and optimism come from.
His eyes were smiling, but his tone was cruel: "Don't worry, I will definitely wear them down."
