Chapter 49 Sandstorm Season 13 Rescue Wei Rui, and A Tai dies. ...
In Qingshan Inn, Jiang Runian was adding a bowl of calming soup to each table of customers.
I have to say, this soup is the most practical medicine Feng Yuechen has ever made.
But the atmosphere in the inn was still tense and heavy.
Even though most people had experienced or heard that Qingshan Inn had easily withstood hurricane disasters, the red light outside the window was like countless invisible hands, gently tapping everyone's nerves. They had no way to avoid it, and could only hold their breath and wait for the next step of the disaster, fearing that if they were careless to blink, they would be robbed of their minds by this ominous force.
"The Lu sisters haven't come back yet, will they..."
"Pah, pah, pah, stop saying such discouraging words! Boss Jiang has sent people to rescue them!"
"But this is a blood moon. How can two people defeat the monster tide..."
The whispers were getting louder and louder. Someone immediately shushed them and pointed at Jiang Runian who was sitting at the door drinking tea. "Look, Boss Jiang is very calm this time."
All these words entered Jiang Runian's ears.
So what if they can’t beat the monster wave, they can outrun it!!!
With the experience of the last hurricane disaster, Jiang Runian reacted very quickly to the crisis this time. When the sky changed slightly, she immediately got a positive answer from the system that it was "the night of the blood moon" and sent Xiaolan to look for the Weirui sisters.
To be honest, if it weren't for Xiao Lan, she would not be in such a leisurely mood to drink tea - Xiao Lan, who can shuttle through the sand, is simply the savior of Qingshan Inn!
The strange tides bred by the blood moon night were fierce, but they had no high intelligence. Facing things deep in the sand, they could only rage helplessly. Therefore, with Xiao Lan's help, Jiang Ru Nian was quite relieved.
Judging from the time, Xiaolan should be back soon.
Jiang Runian slowly poured two bowls of hot soothing soup, held his chin with one hand, leaned against the counter and looked out the door.
Just then, a low humming sound was heard among the yellow sand.
The round and cute head suddenly emerged from the desert and stopped steadily in the protective cover. The car door opened, and Liu Yinshuang, holding a person in each hand, walked in front and behind Bai Yexuan who was polishing his sword.
"Look! Is that Lu Wei and Lu Rui?!"
"The people at Qingshan Inn are really amazing. Last time, the waiter Liu Yinshuang even rescued someone from the hurricane..."
"This snake is also strong, no worse than a turtle. Who on earth is Boss Jiang? Oh my God!"
…
Back in the safe and warm shelter, Lu Wei and Lu Rui's knees went weak and they fell heavily to the ground.
Having finally escaped from the endless panic, they looked at each other, their brows trembling slightly, unstoppable fear overflowing from their eyes, and their howling was filled with the throbbing of surviving a disaster.
Jiang Ruonian handed over two bowls of soothing soup: "It's okay, it's okay."
Other customers also came forward and tried their best to comfort the two and make them happy.
Gradually calming down, Lu Wei helped his sister stand up and took Jiang Runnian's hand: "Boss Jiang, this time it's all thanks to you." He looked at Liu Yinshuang and Bai Yexuan with red and swollen eyes, "And you, otherwise we would have..."
Jiang Ruonian patted the back of her hand and said, "It is the responsibility of Qingshan Inn to protect the safety of our customers."
In an instant, the customer, who was originally worried, unloaded a stone.
The shop assistants here can snatch people from between the sinister fangs of the blood moon. Why should they worry about strange tides when they stay in the shelter?
Qingshan Inn is really reassuring.
At this moment, there was a loud bang outside the house suddenly, and the ground of the inn shook!
Everyone looked out the window and saw several huge black shadows raising their hands like giant hammers again and again, smashing hard at the protective shield!
Attacking to no avail, they stretched out their sharp nails, trying to tear the shield apart, emitting harsh sound waves like scratching a blackboard, but still unable to shake it. Frustrated, they were extremely angry, and one of them howled to the sky, attracting more densely packed black shadows, who pounded the protective shield together, causing the entire shelter to shake violently.
"Why are there so many monsters?!"
"Look at the distance, it's still refreshing..."
"Boss Jiang! Is this going to cause any trouble?"
Jiang Runian was not panicked. He opened the inn panel to check. The shield was still 100% durable. Even with such a fierce attack, it could not be broken. The threat of the monster tide to the shelter was not worth worrying about.
However, the night of the blood moon is not like a hurricane, where you can rest assured as long as you passively defend.
The Qingshan Inn's shield has a certain attack capability. For example, the green-eyed birds and zombies in the polar night would die if they encountered the shield. However, the monsters bred in the blood moon night have thick blood and skin, and strong self-healing ability. The shield's attack frequency cannot cause significant casualties.
Monster waves come one after another. Even if the blood moon stops, these monsters must be cleared out, otherwise they will become a long-term hidden danger.
The system appeared just in time: [Host, the shield can consume a certain percentage of durability and activate the powerful attack mode, but...] It paused, [It will also hurt the player.]
Jiang Runian pondered.
Most of the land around Qingshan Inn is wasteland. With the double disasters of sandstorm and red moon, there shouldn't be any lone players.
But just in case, she decided to walk around the protective shield herself.
Bai Yexuan frowned: "Anian, I'll accompany you."
Thinking that there was no need for the Sky Sword in the inn, Jiang Runian nodded in agreement.
The transparent protective shield was flowing with ripples of rainbow light. Jiang Runian moved closer, and the black shadow separated from her by a wall smelled the scent and pounced on her like crazy. Red venom flowed from its cracked mouth, dripping onto the shield in a sticky manner, blocking her vision.
She looked up and saw strange monsters with bared fangs and claws, as if they wanted to tear her to pieces.
It's scary and twisted.
Just like the monster she remembered.
Jiang Runian remained calm and just stood there quietly.
Suddenly, a slender hand appeared in front of me.
Bai Yexuan gently blocked her view: "Anian, don't look."
Jiang Runian came back to his senses, forced a hearty smile, and walked forward with his head down.
As a level 4 inn, the range of the protective shield is already quite impressive. Before she finished a circle, Jiang Runian was already panting with exhaustion. If she wasn't afraid of scaring the customers, she would have ridden Xiaobai out...
At this time, Bai Yexuan took two steps forward, and his snow-white back lowered: "I'll carry you."
"No, no, Master, you are old and prone to osteoporosis. It is better not to carry heavy objects!"
Bai Yexuan: “…”
Jiang Runian took a few breaths, took a deep breath, stood up, and continued moving forward with one foot deep and one shallow.
Bai Yexuan did not follow.
His voice fell behind him: "Anian, you don't have to treat me as your master all the time."
Jiang Ruonian: "Hmm?"
What does that mean? If you don’t regard him as a master, then can you regard him as a disciple?
"Since I have left the Qingshan Sect, you can just treat me as an ordinary person. You don't have to be bound by the terms master and disciple. You and I..."
A rare trace of melancholy appeared on Bai Yexuan's gentle face. Just as he was about to continue, a monster's roar interrupted him.
The two of them quickened their pace in tacit understanding.
Along the way, they didn't see any lone players or hear any calls for help. Even so, there was no guarantee that there would be no casualties. The monsters around were getting denser and denser, almost filling up the wasteland. If they were not cleared out, these monsters would become a hidden danger for the entire District 8.
Jiang Runian gritted his teeth and decisively activated the powerful attack mode—a dazzling wave of light flashed from the protective shield!
In an instant, the monsters that were clinging to the protective shield stopped struggling, and were then blown away by the wind, gradually disappearing like yellow sand.
Something on the ground was dazzling. Jiang Runian squatted down and picked up a red irregular crystal core. Turbid liquid was flowing in the translucent crystal, and the purity was extremely low.
[Obtained Item: Low-level Alienated Crystal Core Blood Moon x1]
[Item description: An existence at the bottom of the crystal core contempt chain... Wait, why is its color red? ]
The energy of the alienation is green, so the alienation crystal cores are also green. But the monsters of the blood moon night are obviously mutants, but the crystal cores in their bodies are red... So where does the energy of this red crystal core come from?
She picked up another one.
This game... there are more ways to produce crystal cores.
If they continue to be produced like this, not only will the players' survival test level be raised to a higher level, but it will also induce more people to shift their attention to studying crystal cores...
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ruonian picked up a few red crystal cores of higher purity and wrapped them in his palm, "Ask Sui Yan when he wakes up."
Bai Yexuan: "...He knows all this?"
Oh no, I let it slip by accident.
The Qingshan Sect still didn't know that Sui Yan was a member of the Guangyao Organization, let alone that he had a chip buried in his body.
Jiang Runian laughed: "Sui Yan and Guangyao have traded before. As you know, Guangyao always buys alienated crystal cores at high prices. If this crystal core is also useful, then he should know some inside information——"
Before she finished her words, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded behind her!
"Ugh!" A thin body rushed towards her. Jiang Runian lost her balance and fell to the ground with a groan. The crystal core in her hand also scattered all over the ground.
Bai Yexuan squatted beside her, gripping the hilt of the sword tightly.
After seeing who it was, she was puzzled: "...Atai?"
A-Tai disappeared since noon. I thought he had already left for Mingzhu Town... I didn't expect him to still be hiding in the protective shield?!
“I heard that you and Guangyao had a crystal core transaction.” A-Tai sneered, still with disdain in his eyes, “I knew there was something wrong with you, woman. It’s worth my time to stake you out! No wonder you were able to run such a big inn. Give me the money you made from illegal transactions, and I’ll do it to you!”
Jiang Ruunian sighed.
She didn't want to talk to such a paranoid person.
A Tai kept digging on the ground, not caring about the purity, and just mechanically picked up the crystal cores into his bag, muttering the word "money" in his mouth. The crystal cores near the protective shield were picked up cleanly by him.
Before the next wave of monsters came, A Tai slowly stood up and looked at the ground a few steps away from the protective shield - there was a lot of blood-colored crystal cores on the ground.
After realizing what he was about to do, Jiang Ruonian quickly grabbed his trouser leg: "Are you going to die?!"
"What do you want for my life? I want money!" A Tai kicked her away and roared, "When I become the richest man, I will make all of you who look down on me kneel down and lick the soles of my shoes!"
After saying that, Atai stepped out of the boundary of the protective shield without saying a word.
There was a sinister look in his eyes. He ignored Jiang Ruinian's cries and just focused on picking up handfuls of gold from the ground, like a homeless person who had accidentally strayed into a golden house.
Soon, a new wave of strange things hit.
The cold wind blew in, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill and an inexplicable stench. The newly born monsters smelled new prey and emerged from the darkness with low growls. Their eyes glowed with a strange red light under the red moon, and their sharp claws dragged on the ground, making a harsh friction sound.
"Atai!" Jiang Ruonian shouted again, "The shield is an indiscriminate attack, you will die too!"
A-Tai was so overwhelmed by the upcoming wealth that he could not listen at all: "How can there be a shield in this game that can attack indiscriminately? The shield in Mingzhu Town is already level 8, but it can only be used to fight monsters!"
After saying that, the protective shield pushed away a wave of light.
The monsters beside him fell down one after another, and the venom splashed on the ground, soaking the soil under his feet. His face showed a hint of ecstasy. As expected, women's words are deceiving ghosts. There is no such thing as indiscriminate attack.
However, the next second, a sharp and long sound rang in his ears, and his mind went blank in an instant - he was like a stone sculpture, his legs and feet were bound in place, and his health bar dropped rapidly.
The monster in the distance that was not affected pounced on him, and with a single blow, Atai's health bar was almost empty.
A-Tai growled in pain, but was powerless to resist. Sharp claws pierced into A-Tai's chest, and blood gushed out. Sharp teeth bit his body frantically, and his screams were instantly drowned out by the monster's roar. Blood splattered, and the broken limbs were instantly eaten up by the monsters. A-Tai's figure quickly disappeared in the dark monster tide, and even his bones were gnawed out, and the harsh chewing sound could be vaguely heard.
Even Jiang Runian felt suffocated when faced with such a scene.
Suddenly, a tall figure like lightning rushed out and dragged Artest back to the protective shield.
Sui Yan didn't look at his miserable state, but just walked past A Tai and Bai Ye Xuan and helped Jiang Runian up: "Does it hurt?"
