Chapter 105
Although Tiger-Tooth Rabbit and Mu Yuan were in two different places, from Su Xingyuan's point of view, they were just in a 2D screen that was a little farther away.
Therefore, of course he also noticed the situation on Mu Yuan's side, and from the moment that thing appeared, he took it all in.
Su Xingyuan is actually too lazy to take action. Even though he likes pixel people very much, it doesn’t mean that he will save every pixel person. There are pixel ghosts in those pixel horror games.
The people he had rescued before were either well-trained attack teams in the portal, or innocent NPCs who had to break into the portal in order to survive. But for the guys who appeared in this round-trip mission, he really couldn't find a reason to save them.
If you want to die, who can stop you? Su Xingyuan had done his best by trying to drive them away before the danger arose.
On the other hand, Young Master Qiao who had just left was quite smart and determined. Su Xingyuan split a screen and kept an eye on his situation.
Soon, his figure could no longer be captured in the picture. After a moment's thought, Su Xingyuan realized that he had left the danger zone.
Retracting his gaze, the black-haired boy looked at the scene where Mu Yuan was without any emotion.
——He didn’t want to care at first.
However, he saw a sharp hand extending from the figure's belly.
The hand tore the human skin, and something inside tried to get out, revealing a head that Su Xingyuan was very familiar with.
Su Xingyuan: “…”
He calmly pulled out his [backpack].
As the Lord of Hell, he didn't want to have any prejudice against monsters - although he usually killed one if he saw one, or killed two or a pair if he saw two, but he also liked them very much when he saw them - but the [Skin Thieves] were different. Su Xingyuan's prejudice against them was so deep that even his experience could not save him.
Although there is no new hatred, there is old grudge.
The Skin Thieves once massacred the Kuli people, and Ariel, the chief of the Kuli tribe, now works under him. Su Xingyuan is not a cruel capitalist, so he is naturally willing to avenge his employees.
Generally speaking, people have likes and dislikes, and under various influences, Su Xingyuan doesn't like this ethnic group.
He didn't recognize him just now, it was just that the "person"'s movements were too stiff and didn't quite match the abilities of the skin thief in his memory. Now that I think about it, this group of skin thieves is probably a branch of the tribe.
The abilities of the group that Su Xingyuan had encountered before, after taking over the body, all depended on the body's own abilities. But these guys seemed to be able to forcibly perform some things with the bodies of ordinary humans, such as the high-speed movements that Mu Yuan had witnessed, which were almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
There are gains and losses. Under such circumstances, it is normal that they cannot control their bodies so finely.
So, just when the Skin Thief showed a happy expression because it was about to get a fresher skin, an ice magic slab suddenly appeared in front of it, and it sensed that something appeared within its range, and then in an instant, it froze the Skin Thief and its former skin into ice.
The two pixel men who witnessed all this jumped up directly, hopping around with exaggerated expressions of fear on their faces.
——There’s no way around it. The way pixel games express emotions may indeed be a bit exaggerated, but this is the only way to make it simple and easy to understand. Otherwise, it would be difficult to convey anything with that pixel face.
Regardless of whether this reaction has been artistically processed or not, Su Xingyuan really likes to watch them jump.
It was very easy for Su Xingyuan, but it might not be the case for the Skin Thieves lurking in the dark, especially when they saw a magic slate fall with their own eyes.
"How could this world have such a special ability?! Didn't the Demon King say there are no hunters here?"
"Damn it! We spent so much effort to sneak here, but there are actually..."
"Our plan was going well. With our hiding ability..."
"What on earth is going on—"
There was a rustling sound in the forest and a cold wind was blowing. However, Mu Yuan and Kuang Yiyi, who were faced with this horrific scene, did not think that the noises in the dark could be caused by some harmless little animals.
It can only be that... there are more monsters lurking here, just like the thing covered in human skin!
Mu Yuan broke out in a cold sweat, but after he recovered from the numbness in his hands and feet and the inability to move, his good physical fitness and the psychological quality developed from so long of surviving in the wild allowed him to quickly control his body. His eyes immediately fixed on the plain-looking stone slab that fell from the sky.
However, he just saw that the moment the stone slab appeared, it froze the monster into an ice sculpture!
As the saying goes, where there is danger there must be opportunity. Mu Yuan almost instantly believed that this stone slab was his opportunity and would help him escape from trouble!
Thinking of this, his first reaction was not to run away, but to reach out to the stone slab -
"If I were you," a calm voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "I wouldn't touch it."
Mu Yuan suddenly froze in place, not daring to move.
Because he knew very well that Kuang Yiyi was still some distance away from him, and there was clearly no one around him at this moment.
So...how did this voice appear in his ears?
Is it a fairy or a demon? Is it a dead end or a chance of life, the god of death or a noble person?
Mu Yuan's mind was in a mess.
"Run, Brother Mu Yuan!"
Kuang Yiyi's scream brought him back to his senses, and he realized that he had been surrounded by "people" who looked like puppets!
Can you escape? Of course.
They seem to have some kind of limitations, otherwise they wouldn't have been killed until now. Although the monster moved silently, Mu Yuan felt that if he ran at full speed, he still had a chance of survival with his physical strength and speed.
But……
Mu Yuan's gaze fell uncontrollably on the stone slab, his eyes revealing a hint of fanaticism.
——That is an extraordinary power!
Which human being does not desire extraordinary power? !
It is such a powerful force that can freeze the monster in an instant!
Moreover, he just noticed that when the stone slab reacted, a magic circle seemed to appear faintly on it. If he could understand the mystery of the magic circle...
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Mu Yuan even forgot his own situation. All that was left in his eyes was the stone slab that represented a completely different life path in the future.
When the monster appeared just now, his live broadcast equipment fell to the ground, so no one would notice this scene now.
Even though the voice just now was inexplicably convincing and calm, Mu Yuan didn't care. He simply picked up the stone slab with one hand and faced the monsters rushing towards him.
The ice is three feet thick and the air is filled with cold.
The monsters facing the stone slab were actually frozen into a series of ice sculptures!
If some of them were not a little far away, they would probably have been affected by the cold air.
The Skin Thief's defense is weak and he can only fight in close combat. Faced with such a powerful long-range attack weapon that is not picky about the user, he will not dare to attack again for a short time.
Mu Yuan's eyes revealed ecstasy.
It is true!
This slate really doesn’t choose its user!
Just wait, he will use it to escape, and then squeeze all the benefits out of it. This will be an opportunity that belongs only to him, Mu Yuan!
"Mu, Brother Mu Yuan..."
Kuang Yiyi's trembling voice sounded behind him.
Mu Yuan's thinking seemed a little slow. He first realized that Kuang Yiyi was calling him, and then he was puzzled. He was so powerful now that he could easily defeat the monsters, so why did her words sound so fearful?
But her fear was right. No one should know that he had the magic tablet. Perhaps it was time to silence her.
Mu Yuan felt guilty and sorry, but he had no other choice.
But just when he wanted to turn around and point the slate at Kuang Yiyi, he suddenly found that he seemed unable to move.
Not only can I not move, but part of my body has lost consciousness!
Mu Yuan's face suddenly changed. He lowered his head in disbelief and saw his frozen hands connected to the stone slab, and his torso that had been frostbitten by the cold air.
Su Xingyuan looked at the pixelated man who had become half a sculpture and blinked.
He has reminded me.
At that time, Su Xingyuan's physical fitness had been upgraded to far surpass that of ordinary humans, so using the stone slab would still involve himself, not to mention Mu Yuan, a completely ordinary person. Touching the stone slab and activating its effect would be simply seeking death.
Failure to see the situation clearly, having ambitions but being stupid will only lead to one's own downfall.
Su Xingyuan did not try to help him thaw, but instead picked up a stone nearby and smashed it on the surviving monster's head.
With a "bang", the monster touched his forehead, looking confused.
But Su Xingyuan had no expression on his face.
As expected, even if the degree of intervention is deepened, there is no way to control the force applied. It is like a real 2D game. You can control the movement of objects at will, but can you control the force applied to the objects on a screen that has no operation panel at all?
Obviously not.
The remaining female anchor also looked useless and was obviously scared. Compared with the two girls I had met before, her quality was somewhat worrying. Su Xingyuan could only take the stone slab from Mu Yuan's hand and control it to clean up the remaining monsters.
And at the moment when the monsters are eliminated, the game ends and the screen changes.
[Ding Dong!] Your tuning level has been raised! 】
[Current co-tuning level: lv.4]
Su Xingyuan thought that this coordination level might require the successful completion of a round-trip mission to be upgraded, so he now had to complete the last one.
He saved the game just in case.
If he still hasn't completed the task after the countdown is over, he will go back to the present and start over.
Repeat this process a hundred or eighty times and it will eventually appear.
…
Forest of Death.
The moment Mu Yuan’s live broadcast went black, some viewers in the live broadcast room who had been worried for a long time immediately called the police.
However, what they didn't expect was that the police had already noticed this live broadcast, or rather, had noticed... this mountain.
Strictly speaking, the police are not the police, but the military.
Before Master Qiao had completely descended the mountain, he was taken back by well-trained soldiers and questioned about the situation, while another elite team walked up the mountain cautiously.
When they arrived, they were surrounded by ice, with monsters with bared fangs and claws frozen in the ice, and in the center was an anchor whom they had already investigated.
Seeing that he was still breathing, the military quickly cut the ice and carried him back to the operating table. As for the other two anchors and the ice sculptures, they were all taken back and one party questioned them while the other party checked and tested them.
"They only existed in the portal before, but now they appear in reality..."
Before coming here and seeing the abnormal live broadcast, they just thought it was another portal appearing.
In the conference room, everyone looked very solemn.
Because this not only shows that if the portal is not discovered in time, the only buffer zone between these monsters and humans will disappear, and humans will face the horror of the monsters directly -
It also means that these monsters are beginning to intensify their offensive against the human world.
There were no stupid people present. After they discovered that these monsters could hide in human skin, they all realized something and instantly broke out in cold sweats, not daring to imagine the consequences.
"Wait a little longer and do something about it..."
The person in the main seat took a deep breath.
"If there is no effective way to deal with it... we have to consider making it public."
Because they can no longer hide it.
