[Obtained item: Curse Spark Seed]
[(Cursed Fire Flower Seed): A miracle flower that will bloom after a long time, currently still in seed form. Carrying it with you has a slight fireproof effect. (This item cannot be taken out of the dungeon)]
…
After the rest, the group continued on their journey.
As night fell, they found a small gathering place and stayed there.
“Bang!”
Just as he was about to enter the room, Su Mingan saw a firework blooming in the night sky not far away.
"What's that?" He looked up.
"It might be sent by a player." Lu Shu said, "In this kind of venue, sending out such a signal that everyone can see is someone who is confident in his own strength."
"I'll go and take a look." Su Mingan said.
Now it was night time, he could take action, and with the help of the raven, he didn't need to be as careful as during the daytime.
“I…” Lu Shu opened his mouth immediately, wanting to catch up.
"We don't have enough soul stones. Siber is the only one among us who has soul stones." Su Mingan stopped him: "Siber's soul stones can only last for two nights. If you bring us together, it can only last for one night. The margin for error is too low."
Lu Shu stood there and said nothing.
Xiaobi stood quietly on his shoulder, rubbing its two long blades.
Just as Su Mingan was about to leave, Lu Shu's voice came from behind.
"Su Mingan."
"Um?"
Lu Shu hesitated for a while.
"I mean, if, if it was Noel," he said, "... would you let him follow?"
Su Mingan understood what he meant.
As expected, Lu Shu felt that his effectiveness was decreasing.
Whether it was the fifth world or the seventh world, Lu Shu had only been playing a supporting role and had not gotten even a bit closer to the truth of the world.
Before the start of the eighth world, Su Mingan took the time to take a look at the world rankings. Lu Shu's ranking had dropped to nineteenth, which was a huge difference from the fourth place at the beginning.
The higher a player's ranking is, the greater the gap between him and the people behind him. Lu Shu's ranking is basically a world apart from the first echelon. He can't even touch the shadow of the top ten, let alone the first and second players.
So, is Lu Shu...feeling inferior?
Su Mingan believes that if you feel inferior, you should catch up immediately instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself.
But if seeking verbal comfort could help Lu Shu, he wouldn't mind saying it. At least Lu Shu could still be considered a partner for now.
“Bang!”
Just when Su Mingan was about to speak, there was a loud sound of a door opening next to him.
Siber, dressed in bright red, came out carrying a shiny shotgun.
Her snow-white hair fluttered behind her. She was carrying a hunting rifle that was almost half her height, which seemed a bit out of place with her small stature.
"Let's go." Siber said lightly after hearing Su Mingan's conversation just now.
The soul stone in her hand lit up, but the range of the fire was not large, only covering two people.
Su Mingan immediately caught up with Siber who was walking very fast and turned to look at Lu Shu.
Lu Shu was still standing in the darkness. A thin black mist had begun to rise and gradually drifted in his direction.
Su Mingan said: "Lü Shu, if you want to travel at night, you must find a way to collect soul stones. Soul stones are a hard requirement. Even if it's Noel, if he doesn't have soul stones, I won't take him with me."
He said no more.
Whether it was Noel, Lu Shu, or even Yamada Machiichi, as long as they had soul stones on hand, they would now have the capital to travel with him at night.
But they didn't have it, so there was nothing he could do. He wouldn't take one more person with him at the cost of sacrificing his own soul stone. The next dungeon would take a long time, and he definitely couldn't run around with a soul stone that could only last for one night.
“I understand.” Lu Shu said.
His expression remained calm, and Su Mingan didn't know what he understood.
The guide had always been very secretive about how to obtain soul stones, and was unwilling to say anything. If Lu Shu could find a new soul stone, that would be the best.
He and Siber approached the area where the fireworks were blooming. It was quite a distance from here and it would take dozens of minutes to get there. On the way, he found that there were many players in action nearby.
"The place where the fireworks are blooming is a large-scale dungeon. The person who sets off the fireworks is the fifth player on the list, Lu." A voice came from the shadow.
As the boss rabbit, Ying can walk around and appear as the host in some copies. Ying has already discovered the movement over there.
It was the first time that Su Mingan heard that someone had discovered a large copy.
Large and medium-sized copies have fixed opening hours. If you miss it this time, you won’t be able to encounter it next time.
…No wonder the discoverer would deliberately set off fireworks to attract other players. This large-scale dungeon is basically a faction-based competition, with more than twelve participants. If the cooperation is in place, it is not impossible to make a profit together.
…
Traveling at night is a torture, even with the Soul Stone.
The swaying, eerie shadows of the trees and the faint whispers ringing in the ears tortured people's nerves all the time, and the torture was just right, keeping people in a state of tension all the time.
"call……"
A slight breeze brushed past his ears, like someone blowing gently on the back of his neck.
Even if he knew there was nothing behind him, he would still feel his hair stand on end. This was a purely physiological reaction. Even if Su Mingan himself was not afraid psychologically, his heartbeat and breathing would subconsciously speed up.
After just walking for a while, he vaguely felt that his nerves were about to break.
