Chapter 27: Complete the Dungeon
The villagers led them into the path that they had not been allowed to take before. The path was shaded by trees on both sides, giving it the feeling of a winding path leading to a secluded place.
But after leaving the shade of the trees, there was a huge deep pit at the end of the path. As soon as I approached the pit, a rotten smell wafted out.
As the villagers and a few others approached, they saw the poisonous konjac in the dungeon quest for the first time.
Although it is called konjac, it looks like an irregular triangle made up of a pile of rotten mud, but the rotten mud is purple and keeps flowing.
"Gee!" He Jia couldn't help but groan after just one look.
The visual impact is too strong, and coupled with the foul smell, few people can withstand it.
Meng Jiayi and Ling Ji were not in good condition either. Only Chu Xihen stood behind them as if nothing had happened.
"The sleeping guest can wake up." The village chief signaled to the two villagers who were carrying the scarred man.
One of the villagers took out a small bottle from his pocket. No one knew what was inside. He shook it in front of Scarface's nose, and the sleeping man suddenly woke up.
Scarface subconsciously stood up and sat up from the stretcher. The blanket on his body slid off with the movement, and Ling Ji and the others saw that he was also tied up with hemp ropes.
"Where is this place? What are you doing? Let me go!" Scarface was confused. He had been in a coma since he was kicked unconscious by the river. These two days were just a blink of an eye for him.
Scarface had been in a coma for two days, but now he was in good spirits and roared with full energy.
Seeing him so arrogant, Ling Ji couldn't help but remind him: "Brother, look up at the countdown, this should be our burial place, so stop shouting and save your energy!"
With only one hour left, Ling Ji had already accepted his fate. He was now powerless and could not break free from the ropes on his body, so he could only let the villagers slaughter him.
Scarface looked up at the sky and immediately struggled in fear, "Let me go, there's no time, we don't have time!"
"So you are also afraid of not having enough time? Then what were you doing when you just came in?" He Jia was also very scared at first, but now that she saw someone who was even more scared than her, she was not so scared anymore.
Scarface's chest heaved violently. He looked at the four people who were tied up, and his heart became more and more desperate.
"I fell into their hands because I was knocked unconscious by you. What about you? Two days have passed. What have you done? Why haven't you completed the copy yet?" Scarface's eyes were filled with hatred.
If these people had been more helpful, he would have been able to just lie down and get through it. But in the end, there was no time at all, and he had to wake up and face this helpless situation.
"The auspicious time has come. Let's offer this man to the mountain god first!" The village chief suddenly spoke, extinguishing the scarred man's complaints.
The two villagers carrying Scarface walked forward and dragged him up from the ground, one on the left and one on the right.
"What are you doing? What are you going to do? Let me go, please let me go!" Scarface found that two villagers were dragging him towards the pit. He was so scared that he started crying, and a large spot on his pants was wet.
As the villagers and Scarface approached, the purple unidentified object in the pit seemed to suddenly come alive, and the mud on its body flowed faster.
Some fist-sized holes appeared on the rotten mud, and thick branches covered with thorns and purple leaves grew out of the holes, swaying towards the people at the edge of the pit.
"Throw it down quickly!" urged the village chief.
The two villagers were also a little scared, so they quickly pushed Scarface into the pit and crawled back to the crowd.
Then everyone watched as the poisonous konjac tied up Scarface with branches, dragged him to the triangle, and swallowed him alive amid his earth-shattering screams.
Ling Ji saw this with cold sweat on his forehead, although he was not the one being pushed down, he looked at the countdown in the sky, there were only ten minutes left, so he should be almost there too.
The village chief had been closely following the changes of the poisonous konjac. After it swallowed a person, he saw that not only did its branches not retract, but several new ones grew out. He was also frightened by this scene.
"The mountain god is indeed angry. He would fall into a deep sleep after swallowing a person... Fortunately, we are well prepared and brought some extra food. Someone, push her down!" The village chief raised his hand and pointed at He Jia.
"Ah!! No, Xinyi, save me!" He Jia screamed and struggled.
Meng Xinyi wanted to save her, but unfortunately she was powerless.
Seeing that He Jia was about to be pushed into the pit by two villagers, Ling Ji also panicked and turned his head to shout at Chu Xihen: "Brother Fox, think of a solution quickly, are we really going to die here?"
At this time, Chu Xihen looked up at the countdown in the sky. When there were five minutes left, the countdown display turned a glaring red.
His hands that were tied behind his back loosened at some point. He took a step back, distanced himself from the two villagers, and then took out the [Ten Thousand Arrows] card that Bai Jinli had given him before entering the dungeon from his portable store.
Ling Ji had seen cards outside, but this was the first time he saw someone using them.
Chu Xihen held the card between his slender index and middle fingers. He bent his fingers slightly, and a pitch-black bow and arrow appeared in his hand.
Then he took a running start and flew up directly on the bodies of two villagers. He pulled the bow beautifully in mid-air, and although he had no bow and arrow in his hand, he could hear the sound of the arrow breaking through the wind.
With a muffled "puff" sound, the poisonous konjac in the pit suddenly tumbled down like a punctured balloon, and its raised branches also drooped down instantly.
"Ah!" He Jia was still pushed into the pit. With her scream, the countdown in the sky was instantly reset to zero.
Then the ugly little avatar who called them into the dungeon appeared at the countdown.
The little clown yawned in the air, and then said in an extremely mocking voice: "Humph, you bugs are lucky. Hurry up and get your rewards and get out of the dungeon. I feel disgusted when I see you..."
Before he uttered the word "heart", Chu Xihen drew the bow again and shot at Xiao Chou's head. Then the head was pierced by the arrow and disappeared into the sky.
"This...Is this a level? A reward popped up in front of me!" Ling Ji looked excitedly at Chu Xihen who landed handsomely after a somersault after shooting the arrow.
The villagers stood there motionless as if a pause button had been pressed, and the poisonous konjac in the pit turned into a point of light and disappeared.
Now the only person left in the pit was He Jia, with tears all over her face, climbing out.
Meng Xinyi didn't even bother to look at her reward, she just lay down at the edge of the pit and reached out to pull people out.
Chu Xihen took a look at the rewards that popped up, selected the last one, and then his body became ethereal, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Their respective shopping mall systems and reward settlement interfaces are not visible to others. After completing a dungeon, players will be ranked according to their dungeon contributions. Only those at the top of the rankings can choose their gifts before those at the bottom can see the content of the rewards.
After Chu Xihen chose to exit the dungeon, Ling Ji saw three skills appearing in the reward box. Although he could only choose one of them, he couldn't help but jump up.
He is also a skilled person!
