Chapter 118: The Cave of Sorrow (27) Gao Mengtang: I was bullied...
"We've been spotted, run!" Wolanbei shouted.
When Li Xing rushed over, the mist as light as clouds and gauze was completely dispersed.
Wo Lanbei grabbed Gao Mengtang's arm and pushed him into the bushes: "Hide here, don't come out and get in the way!"
Pegana rushed to the front. In front of the huge butcher, he was as small as a Chihuahua, but also as fierce as a Chihuahua, barking non-stop.
His soul was trapped in a bubble, his strength was limited, and the duration of the magnetic field of fear was getting shorter and shorter.
Excessive fear also made the butcher more manic. She would absorb water and swell. In the rainy weather, her strength became stronger and stronger. The attack was like a tidal wave. Bo Yao and Xiao Canglan took turns to hold up the shield, but the shield time was limited and there would always be a time when the protection was lost. After 10 minutes, all three players were injured and their spirit value dropped by dozens.
The player still didn't hurt the butcher at all.
"This won't work. We need to find the butcher's weakness." Bo Yao said. He was exhausted and held his waist while breathing heavily.
Just as he said this, the butcher grabbed him with his claws.
"Get out of the way!" Wolanbei kicked him more than 10 meters away, "Why are you standing there like a target?"
Bo Yao seemed to be very tired. He was kicked to the ground and lay in the wet mud. He stood up only after he had caught his breath.
The three players were fighting the butcher to a standstill. Gao Mengtang was hiding alone in the bushes behind the battlefield, still upset about the words "Don't come out and get in the way".
How could he be in the way? He had already become a leader, how could he be looked down upon by other members of the camp? Gao Mengtang rubbed his arm. When Wolanbei grabbed his arm and stuffed him into the bushes just now, he didn't control his strength well and pinched a purple mark.
Gao Mengtang didn't want to wait for victory, so he made up his mind and said, "Merlis, sneak attack the butcher!"
Behind Gao Mengtang, the fog thickened and a human figure could be seen. The mist elf raised his hands and shot out three mist arrows.
The mist arrow flew silently and its track was invisible. It hit the butcher's back and three balls of white mist exploded.
Before Li Xing's raised sharp claws fell, his ferocious look suddenly changed. A look of sadness appeared on that ugly, ferocious face, which was really heartbreaking.
She stopped attacking, covered her face and started crying. The thick eyelid fat squeezed her already small eyes into a slit: "Wuwuwu, why are you bullying me? Is it because I'm ugly?"
This sudden change made the players stunned. Gao Mengtang was the first to come to his senses: "The weakness is from behind! We can't attack her from the front, attack her from behind!"
The voice of "Monster Book" begins: [What a poor child! The little bastards in the village saw her and threw stones at her from behind.]
[Li Xing didn't dare to argue with them, and didn't even dare to look back. She just walked forward with her shoulders hunched, tears streaming down her face.]
[Even if she becomes a butcher, she will still cry.]
[Can you make her stop crying?]
System prompt: "Before the salvation, improve Li Xing'er's piety value (favorability) to increase the success rate of salvation. The salvation can only be performed when the piety value reaches 60."
"Butcher Li Xing's current reverence for [000 Blind]: 0"
Wolanbei knew the butcher's weakness and kept dodging and attacking from behind. He also heard the hint in the "Monster Book" and applied it to other situations. While shooting, he cursed "ugly freak", "bitch", "ugly thing that can't get married" and so on.
The effect was remarkable. The butcher almost completely stopped attacking and squatted on the ground, tears streaming down his face. His figure kept shrinking, and soon, he turned back into the short, fat, dark girl.
Wolanbei raised the gun again and aimed at the back of her head.
"Don't hurt her." Gao Mengtang rushed over and stood behind Li Xing'er.
Bang. Gunshot.
At the last moment, Wolanbei raised the muzzle of the gun by two centimeters with his amazing reaction speed, and the bullet flew past Gao Mengtang's head.
"Fuck, I almost hit you!" Wolanbei let go of the trigger as if he had been electrocuted, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. "I told you to stay out of the way, why did you come over here!"
Gao Mengtang ignored her and walked towards Li Xing'er based on the direction of her crying.
"Stay away! That's the butcher!" Wolanbei shouted. He failed to stop Gao Mengtang and was afraid of hurting him by mistake, so he had to stand behind the butcher and curse at him, continuing to cast magic attacks.
"I've never seen you so ugly!"
"Won't you vomit when you look in the mirror?"
"Chou Xing'er, hey, I'm calling you, but you don't dare to look back, right?"
An umbrella was held over Li Xing's head. Gao Mengtang squatted in front of her and gently wiped away the tears, rain and blood on her face: "Don't cry, we won't cry."
When Li Xing looked up, she saw a face so beautiful that it took her breath away.
So beautiful.
Even the portrait of the Ghost Doctor is not as handsome as him.
System: "Butcher Li Xing's favorability towards [000 Blind Man] has increased to 30."
Gao Mengtang thought to himself: "Ah, I am so touched that my kindness can move the butcher."
The system seemed to have read her inner thoughts and ruthlessly exposed her: "Li Xing looks... rather sorry, so she particularly likes beautiful people."
Gao Mengtang: ...it still depends on your face.
"I'm ugly, so they all bully me." Li Xing buried her face in her knees and burst into tears. Behind her, Bo Yao and Xiao Canglan were still cursing.
Wo Lanbei rushed over and tried to pull Gao Mengtang away.
This is a butcher. She hasn't shown any aggressiveness yet. Who can guarantee that she won't go berserk in the next second and beat Gao Mengtang to death?
"No, don't think like that." Gao Mengtang tried his best to push Wo Lanbei away.
Li Xing: "That's bullying! My appearance is not my choice, why should I be disliked just because I'm ugly..."
Gao Mengtang: "I'm beautiful, right?"
Wolanbei, who was standing by, was grabbing the neck of the "very beautiful" person, trying to drag him away. When he heard these words, he almost got an ellipsis on his face.
Are you here to compete with the butcher?
Even if you want to compete in beauty, don't look for someone so ugly, do you have any ambition? !
"Well, you...you are very beautiful." Li Xing said.
Gao Mengtang: "But, I will also be bullied."
Li Xing was stunned, and so was Wo Lanbei. Bullied? Who? Has Gao Mengtang ever experienced school violence? I've never heard of it.
"It's him. He bullied me." Gao Mengtang pointed at Wolanbei.
Wolanbei:???
"He hit me, scolded me, and despised me," Gao Mengtang felt very aggrieved. "Look, my arm was pinched purple by him. He said I was in the way and despised me for not being able to see clearly. Now, he is grabbing my neck and wants to strangle me to death."
After saying that, Gao Mengtang dropped his umbrella, curled up into a ball, and cried.
In fact, he didn't cry, his acting is not that good, he just made a "woohoo" sound. His face was full of rain, no extra tears were needed.
Wolanbei again:???
"Who the hell bullied you?!"
Gao Mengtang pretended to choke up: "Look, he even scolded me."
"You bastard, you bully others and you still don't admit it!" Li Xing roared, his voice became even hoarse, and he was about to become manic again.
Gao Mengtang stopped whining and wiping away tears, and quickly calmed her down: "No matter how pretty or ugly you are, you will be bullied. Don't feel sorry for yourself."
Li Xing used her sleeves to wipe Gao Mengtang's face. The mud got on her face and the more she wiped, the dirtier it became. She was a little flustered: "Don't cry, we won't cry."
Others: ...Good guy. First time seeing a butcher comforting a player.
"Well, we won't cry," Gao Mengtang huddled in Li Xing's arms, and at the same time told Wolanbei with his mouth: Stay away and don't get in the way.
The open umbrella was stuck diagonally in the mud, and the two people huddled together, hiding under the umbrella. The umbrella was useless, and they were already soaked, and the strong wind would blow the rain in, but they found a small harbor.
“Stop thinking about being ugly or beautiful,” Gao Mengtang said, “that’s not why you’re being bullied.”
"There's only one reason people get bullied: They're assholes."
Tears rolled down her cheeks, this time because she was moved. Li Xing hugged Gao Mengtang and cried even harder.
System: "Butcher Li Xing's favorability towards the blind has reached 95."
"The pre-mission for salvation has been released."
Side Quest: Redeem the Butcher
Prerequisite: Kill the Great Witch.
"Li Xing has lost the desire to attack player [000 Blind]."
"Li Xing may still attack [111 Wandering Gunner] [726 Drowned Ghost] [726 Water Ghost], but her desire to attack is significantly reduced. Under normal circumstances, she will not actively attack."
The four players all breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Mengtang took out a basin filled with water and said, "Come on, wash your face."
This is his inheritance-level weapon [Ice Bowl Bubble Shadow]
Li Xing washed her face, wiped the mud off Gao Mengtang's face, and stared at him absentmindedly for a moment: "You are so beautiful."
Gao Mengtang's eyebrows curved, smiling without saying anything. In fact, he was testing it. This basin could trap Pegana, the source of fear, and could accommodate the enemy rabbit that was a hybrid of Fuling and the dead. It should not be a problem to deal with the butcher of the fifth-level copy.
The ending was unexpected and nothing happened to the butcher.
In terms of strength, the Butcher is definitely not as good as Pegana. However, the Butcher was created by the Black Tower game. The control of the Black Tower is much greater than his [Ice Bowl Bubble Shadow].
Who is the person behind the black tower? What is the purpose of this game? Gao Mengtang looked up at the sky, his vision was blurry and he could only feel the raindrops hitting his face, which was very cold.
"I'm tired. Let me take a rest." Bo Yao sat down in the mud.
"Is this a good place to rest?" Wolanbei muttered, "I seem to be a little tired... Not tired, I just don't want to move."
They adjusted their state on the spot, and when they set out again, they were all in a relaxed state, perhaps because they had solved the major hidden danger of the butcher.

"Avi, this is the third time I've entered the same dungeon with you. Do you remember? The first time I entered a dungeon with you was a long time ago. At that time, your ID card was still [101 Orphan]." Qin Xishuang held an oil-paper umbrella for him and walked briskly.
Wei Wei: “…”
Qin Xishuang didn't need a supporting role and could continue to talk on her own: "At that time, I was just a senior manager of the Blue Camp. Gu Kang wanted to support me to be the leader, so I cooperated with him."
Gu Kang.
Hearing this name, Wei Wei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the complicated thoughts in his mind.
He suddenly remembered the conversation he overheard in the "Princess Castle Rules Weird Stories" copy.
"It's not easy to successfully cast a charm on Wei Wei." Qin Xishuang's voice came through a door. The person talking to him was [741 Mermaid King] Yu Le.
"I strengthened your trident and wounded him so badly that he was able to resist my charm twice. It was only the third time that succeeded."
"In the next two days, I need to consolidate the charm effect."
"Guess what I used to strengthen your trident?"
…
"How stupid. I used Gu Kang's blood."
"Gu Kang was poisoned and half of his body was paralyzed. He couldn't crawl out of his insect valley. The poisonous insects he raised lost control and bit him to death bit by bit."
"The characteristic of [049 Wan Gu King] is that he is immune to all poisons. The poison that can even make him fall victim to it... Hehe, interesting."
"The blood in Gu Kang's body also contains a deadly poison. If you had stabbed Wei Wei's heart, he would not have survived."
At that time, players were fighting each other, and Wei Wei, in a panic trying to save Gao Mengtang, was stabbed in the abdomen by Yu Le's trident.
In the memory, Qin Xishuang's voice was ethereal and distant: "I didn't expect the trident strengthened by the poison to be so effective. I thought I would have to seriously injure Wei Wei a few more times... However, this proves my guess."
"The effect of the poison varies from person to person. Guess who was most severely poisoned?"
"You're wrong again, stupid guy. The person most likely to be seriously injured by the poison is, of course... the one who cast the poison."
Among the hundreds of poisonous insects, a poisonous insect emerged from the fight. The person who cast the poison threw them into hell and used them as chess pieces. All living things have spirits, even small insects will remember who did this cruel thing.
When the person who cast the poisonous insects took them out of the incense burner, he smelled the devil's scent, and the poison of the insects was activated again. Gu Kang's method of raising the insects was not to feed them with essence and blood, so the person who was most likely to be poisoned was often himself.
Later, what did Qin Xishuang say?
Wei Wei’s thoughts drifted away.
"The person who casts the poison is more vulnerable to the poison. The tool I use to strengthen the trident is the highly toxic blood in Gu Kang's body."
"The poisonous blood has such a shocking effect. It is unexpected, but also reasonable."
"Why? You are such a fool that you can't think of this?"
What followed was a sentence that Wei Wei would never forget.
"Because it was Wei Wei who personally gave Gu Kang the poison, and the poison backfired on him, causing him to be so badly injured."
Poisoned with his own hands... Wei Wei looked down at his hands. Over the years, his body gradually became unfamiliar. He became pale and thin, and his voice became shrill and soft.
The change was so great that he could hardly recognize that this body was his own.
So much so that every time he looked into the mirror and saw that strange face, Wei Wei would forget what he had done...
Qin Xishuang was right. He was the one who planted the insect poison and killed Gu Kang.
It was a kind of relief, I guess. Becoming a stranger, becoming unlike myself.
"You've never been in love before, have you?" Qin Xishuang gently held Wei Wei's open palm, "Your hands are so cold."
Wei Wei: “…”
He shook off his hand, followed the burial beetle, and continued to move forward.
"The first time we met was in a dungeon. You had just passed the novice dungeon and entered the official dungeon," Qin Xishuang recalled the past with a faint smile, "Gu Kang asked me to take care of you. In the official dungeon, you seemed very nervous. As soon as you saw me, your eyes lit up."
Wei Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore: "I thought you could keep us safe. But I was the best performer in that scene."
He was going to lead someone, but ended up being led away, and by a newcomer at that. Qin Xishuang was a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and continued, "When I saw your eyes light up, I finally knew what kind of person I like."
"I only love people who love me," Qin Xishuang grabbed Wei Wei's hand again, "In the last instance, when you stood up for me, I was moved for a moment."
"It would be great if you were willing to save me even without the control of the charm skill."
Wei Wei: “…”
It would be great if players could kill each other in the Stele Forest Labyrinth without being punished. They have been fighting for three hundred rounds now.
From a distance, they saw a stone tablet. The two of them were each preoccupied with their own thoughts and walked slowly.
"Do you think I can meet true love in this life?" Qin Xishuang asked, a layer of sadness covering his smiling face.
Wei Wei finally wanted to speak: "No."
"Ah, as expected," Qin Xishuang smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Love is the only luxury. With the help of luck, a commoner can also turn over and become an emperor. But who dares to say that they will have a true heart? I am also pessimistic..."
"But it doesn't matter." Qin Xishuang pulled out the skill scroll [Never Leave, Never Abandon] from her sleeve. "This is my marriage certificate. I'm still missing one person's name. With it, I can give true love a shelf life: forever."
The two parties who sign the "Never Leave, Never Abandon" agreement will love each other forever and never separate.
"Let's sign it," Qin Xishuang stared into Wei Wei's eyes without missing a beat, "You and I have been alone for too long. I don't want to wander anymore, what about you?"
Wei Wei closed his eyes again and took a deep breath: "Let's just fight."
"Haha, I'm just teasing you." Qin Xishuang took back the skill scroll. Although she was smiling, she was not as frivolous as usual.
After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Am I annoying?"
Wei Wei ignored him and quickened his pace, walking in front.
Finally reaching the next stone tablet, the burial beetle buried its heart in the soil.
Two choices appeared on the stone tablet.
【A: Return to the starting point】
[B: Foreigners who persecute each other will be punished more severely]
"Oh, we can't fight," Qin Xishuang said with a smile on her face, "I want to choose B, what about Avi?"
"B." said Wei Wei.
Soon, Wei Wei discovered a more serious problem: there were no NPCs in the village.
How should they go down?
