Chapter 25
Six hours ago.
Su Xingyuan took the blue dragon ball from the clan leader, confirmed that it was related to the secret realm, and put it in his backpack.
Then he had time to look at the patriarch who appeared in front of him for the first time.
The old man had white beard and eyebrows, but he looked very strong. He could easily beat at least ten strong human beings.
However, in this tribe where even children can hunt alone in the jungle, having such a physique and condition is normal. However, what worries Su Xingyuan is that he can only see the most superficial information about the person in front of him.
【Patriarch】
Apart from this, there is nothing else.
A complete character column should have at least three lines of information, and there is only one reason for this situation - the opponent's concealment attribute is much higher than his reconnaissance.
This makes sense. After all, the clan leader is usually the most respected and oldest person in the clan. It is normal for his attributes to be higher than his. What's more, the opponent's name is just ordinary white, indicating that he has no ill will towards the player.
However, when Su Xingyuan glanced to the side, he found that -
Among the Kuli people surrounding him, at least one-third of them could not be seen by him in their entirety.
Before, his attention was all on the dragon, and he could also see the character columns of Ariel, Ilu and others, so he didn't notice anything wrong. It was not until this moment that he felt the weirdness of the situation.
The characteristics of the Kuli people are very obvious. They are highly skilled in fighting and strong. They are all big in build and tend to be warm and cheerful. However, this kind of body shape and personality often do not have a high concealment value.
——So, how come their concealment is higher than that of players with assassin career tendencies?
The black-haired boy narrowed his eyes imperceptibly.
He thought of the hint of the mission.
"The third wave of beasts was deterred by the player's act of killing the dragon alone."
So, how did this "third wave of beasts" know that it was the player who killed the dragon alone?
He even got the information the moment he killed the dragon?
The scattered black hair obscured all the expressions in his eyes, and when he raised his head again, his expression did not change in the slightest.
"Xingyuan Hunter, if you are not in a hurry to leave, let our doctor bandage your wounds." The tribe leader said kindly, "Besides, you killed the dragon. It is no exaggeration to say that you are a hero of our entire tribe. Everyone wants to hold a banquet for you and welcome your arrival."
Su Xingyuan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
He did have many minor injuries on his body, and his arms were dislocated, not to mention that he had been in a stalemate with a dragon for such a long time. From the perspective of others, he was probably about to be exhausted and needed to rest well.
He also did not forget that he entered this world through a portal, and he could only leave through the portal.
Now we can't get out and we don't know where the BOSS is, so entering the village is the best option.
What's more, he originally wanted to go in, but was distracted by the sudden attack of the beast tide.
Players, if you pass by an unexplored village and don’t go in to take a look around and grab some items, are you still a player?
In this way, he successfully lay on the bed in the Kuli doctor's house.
Fortunately, this doctor looked normal and his character column was clearly visible. Su Xingyuan observed him for a while and found that perhaps because he was good at medicine and medical skills, people would visit his door from time to time and he had a very close relationship with everyone.
If you want to replace such an existence, and the replacement takes a certain amount of time, it will be difficult to do so.
——Yes, at this time Su Xingyuan already had a vague guess, that is, the BOSS of this portal, the third wave of beasts in the mission, is actually hidden among the Kuli people whose character bars cannot be seen by him.
While the doctor was treating his wounds, he asked, "Why was the village suddenly attacked by a tide of beasts? Shouldn't there be signs of such a large-scale attack?"
"I don't really know. I just heard that there's a dangerous guy nearby."
Su Xingyuan blinked and said, "Ariel also told me that there's a new big guy nearby."
"He also said... that thing has only been seen by a few elders in the clan."
The doctor nodded, "The chief seems to know what it is. He should discuss the response with the elders and announce the result."
Su Xingyuan: "If that's the case, why do you let so many people go out hunting?"
According to common logic, if there are dangerous creatures roaming around outside, shouldn't we temporarily avoid them?
He already felt strange when Ariel, a kid who was hunting outside, said naturally, "There's a big guy nearby."
"The chief said that the food supply is running low." The doctor said helplessly, "Our people need to eat half a long-eared beast for one meal. We have to go out hunting every day to have enough food. Now that the jungle is more dangerous, more people have to go out. They need companions to ensure their own safety."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a man asked the doctor for today's dose of medicine.
The doctor gave him the medicine and closed the door again, then he heard Su Xingyuan ask casually:
"Is the person just now also one of the people who went out hunting in the past few days?"
The doctor laughed and said, "How is that possible? He broke his leg before and hasn't been to the woods for a while."
Su Xingyuan also smiled and said, "So that's how it is."
——The character column of the man just now is also invisible.
If things were as he thought... then everything made sense.
This world inside the door showed that something was wrong from the very beginning.
The door they entered was clearly a low-level door with a low concentration of magic power, but they encountered a tide of beasts and a dragon right at the beginning. At this time, he just felt that there was a problem with the portal again, just like the sudden evolution of the cave worm queen monster.
But later he discovered that although those beasts were huge in size and brutal in temperament, they were indeed normal beasts in the world inside the gate. They were hunted by the Kuli people every day and did not carry any magic power.
Not to mention the phantom of the dragon, it is just a phantom with no shape, and the power that allows it to maintain its shape is not magic.
Moreover, if it was the final BOSS, this door would not be a low-level door, and after he killed the dragon, the exit passage should have appeared long ago.
Monsters carrying magic power are not among them.
Then... I can only hide among the seemingly normal Kuli people.
After thinking it through, Su Xingyuan, who had passed the level 20 checkpoint, lit up the life skill [Pharmaceuticals].
His level was not high enough to make a poison that could kill someone in one shot, so he had to settle for the next best thing and chose a drug to knock them out.
Then, when the Kuli people were preparing for the banquet, he sneaked into the chief's room.
The patriarch's house was not difficult to find. After arriving, he opened the small map and easily found the secret compartment hidden behind the debris on the outer wall and the box inside.
The box is opened.
——Inside were stacked, fresh pieces of meat.
It seemed to be just the right amount of flesh and blood that could be contained in the body of a Kuli person.
"Brother Su Xingyuan?"
Ariel, who was passing by, saw him.
——Also saw the fresh flesh and blood in the box.
There are golden meridians in the bodies of the Kuli people. He can tell at a glance that they are the flesh and blood of his own people.
As his body suddenly stiffened, Su Xingyuan closed the box and said calmly, "There may be many boxes like this. Do you want to look for them together?"
At times like this, Ariel's brain worked particularly fast.
He immediately understood something and his eyes turned red, but he did not get scared or escape. Instead, he nodded, wanting to know the truth.
So Su Xingyuan took him to count all the Kuli members whose flesh and blood had been dug out and whose skins had been controlled, and then rubbed his head.
"do not be afraid."
Ariel took a deep breath, and said with a hint of tears in his voice: "I'm not afraid. I'm angry. I just want to kill those bastards with my own hands!"
Su Xingyuan decisively agreed: "Okay, I'll leave it to you to kill."
"Also, Ariel, can you do me a favor?"
Ariel nodded heavily.
…
So, when the "Kuli people" fell one after another at the banquet, he walked forward expressionlessly in the blank gazes of the other adults.
He is stupid and can't speak, so he proves himself through actions.
The next moment, the spear in Ariel's hand pierced the heart of a "tribe member" without hesitation!
Without waiting for others to scream, he pulled out his spear, used his hands to pull out the monster hiding in the heart, and threw it on the ground.
The evidence is conclusive.
…
…
Ariel came back to his senses from his memories, his eyes refocusing on the skin stealer pierced by the spear tip.
He remembered what he had said, "I will kill them with my own hands," and his eyes moved down to his hands that were wrapped by the black-haired boy.
Tears suddenly fell like beads from a broken string. He turned around and buried himself in the arms of the black-haired boy, finally unable to hold back his tears.
His parents were among those replaced.
Su Xingyuan quietly let the child hold him in his arms to vent his emotions, but when his emerald eyes came into contact with the skin thief's body, they became colder than the wind and snow in the far north.
For the first time, he felt wisps of anger spreading through his brain. The body temperature of the crying child in his arms was not half a degree lower than that of a real person.
The black-haired boy closed his eyes and sighed silently.
The Kuli people around also looked away reluctantly, looking at the skin thief's body with even more anger, almost wanting to cut it into pieces.
Now they have clearly understood that all the abnormalities during this period were caused by them, and they also brought in the beast tide. Their purpose is to eliminate the tribesmen who have not been replaced and make the Kuli tribe completely their property.
A magic void gradually formed above the corpse, expanding into the shape of a circular door.
Ariel felt the fluctuation of the aura behind him. He raised his head, wiped away his tears, and looked at the portal that was slowly appearing.
"Are you leaving?"
He asked Su Xingyuan.
Su Xingyuan rubbed his head: "Yes."
Ariel held his hand tightly, sniffed, and said stubbornly:
"I'm going to be like you."
He lowered his eyes, smiled helplessly and said:
"This is the second time you've said that."
Su Xingyuan stood up and walked towards the door. When he was about to step into the portal, he turned his head and waved to Ariel.
Then, he sank into the dark portal.
