◎None of them are earthly things◎
Poxiao also heard the noise, and his body swayed sideways, as if he was wavering.
Xia Li asked him again, "Come out? If you don't, the monster will pounce on you."
Click, click...
The monster was getting closer and closer to her.
Sudden!
The moment the opponent attacked, Xia Li spun around and dodged the monster's attack in the blink of an eye.
After stopping, Xia Li saw clearly that the person who attacked her was a worn-out life-size doll. The doll's face was covered with knife marks, and its skirt was dirty and torn. Its pair of black leather shoes had a tear between the sole and the upper because no one had taken care of them, so they made a clicking sound with every step.
Just now, the puppet tried to poke her with the tip of the pen in its hand. Fortunately, she dodged quickly and was not hurt. However, Dawn, who was lying in the coffin, was not so lucky. The puppet fell forward a few steps due to inertia, and its body bent down. At this moment, its face was facing Dawn.
Then he gave a stiff and weird smile.
"Ah, Li Shen, help!"
Poxiao, who was crying and whining about his own affairs in the previous second and stubbornly refused to come out, suddenly broke down in the next second, jumped three feet high from the coffin, and ran towards Xia Li.
Xia Li: If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time talking.
"Pear Goddess, Pear Goddess! Hurry, the puppet is coming!" Dawn huddled behind her, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, a strong smell of alcohol came out of his mouth.
Thanks to Poxiao's deceased mother, the young woman who lived next door, Xia Li also disliked the smell of alcohol. However, considering Poxiao's special circumstances, she refrained from pointing it out, offering only a polite smile. "You're so timid, yet you still come to this kind of event?"
"I just want to train myself!" Poxiao opened his mouth to retort, but perhaps seeing how cowardly and incompetent he looked, he immediately withered. "I'm incompetent. I can't even protect myself, so how can I protect the most important person?"
“Get out of the way!”
As he was drowning in self-blame, the puppet poked at them again with a hard pen. The tip of the pen was sharp and shiny, and its sharpness was no less than the weapons in the hands of the players. Xia Li pushed him aside, then rushed forward, grabbed the puppet's wrist and bent it to the side, while sweeping her feet!
As long as the puppet's hands are disabled, it will not be able to lift weapons. If its feet are disabled, it will not be able to move.
However.
Xia Li suddenly felt a strong force resisting her. Not only did she fail to break the puppet's hands, but she was grabbed by an invisible force, as if two lead-filled steel claws were wrapped around her wrists.
Oh no! The other party also wants to cripple her hand!
So she quickly made a move, and the poisonous gas exploded between her and the doll!
However, the puppet's health did not drop much. Xia Li's heart sank. It seemed that she had encountered a high-defense puppet.
Immediately afterwards, I heard a few clicking sounds beside my ears, and a piercing pain instantly spread from my wrist throughout my body.
Your left palm is fractured.
Your right palm is fractured.
"Pear God!!!"
Poxiao witnessed with his own eyes that Xia Li's hand was crushed to pieces in an instant by the puppet's hands. No matter how timid he was, he knew that now was not the time to be afraid, so he rushed forward in shock and fear, wanting to hit the puppet with a club!
The puppet chuckled, its neck automatically bent, and its head fell onto its shoulders, causing his club to miss.
"Run quickly, disappear when you get close to it, then reappear and strangle it!"
Xia Li took the opportunity to pull out her left and right hands, jumped a few steps behind her, and commanded Dawn while keeping a distance from the puppet.
With high defense, flexible limbs, and great strength, only professions like thieves can use skills to carry out precise attacks.
But this activity is not a teamwork, and it is obviously not appropriate to let only the thief profession pass. There must be other ways, just like on the second floor, even if there are human skins floating everywhere, as long as you find the right way to avoid them, you can still go upstairs.
But... Xia Li endured the pain and looked down at her hands. Both of her palms were unusable, the joints were dislocated, and the finger bones were broken. Any movement caused her to feel a burning pain.
Although she was far from dying, not being able to use her hands meant that she could not use any skills except the poison gas critical attack. The green mist, poisonous bees and potion throwing were all useless.
She swept the entire third floor with a burning gaze. Apart from this puppet, no other monsters spawned. Over there, Dawn kept repeating the moves she had told him, draining the puppet's blood over and over again, but the puppet was obviously getting more and more impatient, and its already broken face became more and more hideous.
"Pear God! What should I do? I feel like it's going to go berserk!" Dawn cried out from the other end.
Xia Li: "Hold on a little longer, I'm trying to figure it out."
After saying that, his eyes fell on the coffin again.
Wait, this doesn’t seem to be a coffin at all, but a wooden box for a doll!
It’s just that because the dolls are the same size as them, the wooden box is made to look like a coffin for the dead.
Xia Li hurried over, squatted down, and kept observing the inside and outside of the wooden box. Suddenly, she caught a line of words: Putting the doll into the wooden box will suspend all the doll's activities.
Got it! Xia Li turned and shouted, "Lure it here!"
After receiving the new instructions, Dawn was overjoyed and hurriedly put away his skills, circling in front of the puppet like a fly, drawing its attention to the coffin, oh not the wooden box.
When it was almost at the edge of the wooden box, Dawn suddenly opened and disappeared.
The puppet was stunned for a moment, as if it didn't know where he had suddenly run to, so it twisted its neck and looked around.
His head kept turning as his gaze turned, and when he turned to the back, Xia Li suddenly appeared from the side.
"Go in and sleep!"
She flew up and kicked out. The puppet didn't react and its glass eyes widened instantly. Its body lost its balance and fell directly into the wooden box.
Xia Li flew up immediately after, lifted the lid of the box with her right foot, and slammed it back with a bang, completely locking the puppet in the box.
The two of them worked together smoothly and seamlessly, until the last moment when they saw the puppet was solved. Poxiao's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he leaned against the wall weakly: "I'm alive again... I'm alive again..."
But she felt something was amiss. Looking at the lifeless wooden box and the entire third floor, where no more monsters were spawning, Xia Li suddenly asked Poxiao, "How many of you who came in first have made it upstairs?"
Poxiao raised his voice, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "I don't know."
He came in drunk, and no one knew how he climbed all the way from the first floor to the third floor. Sometimes there were people around him, and sometimes there were no people. Anyway, no one knew how he ended up lying in the wooden box.
"It seemed like there were people fighting at the beginning, but then the fighting stopped. I was also sleepy, so I dozed off for a while. Suddenly, I remembered something very sad, so I started crying. Then, you came here." Poxiao tried hard to find a trace of logic in his broken memories and told it to Xia Li.
Xia Li was silent for a while, then suddenly figured something out. She raised her eyes and said with a half-smile, "So you're the European Emperor."
"Huh?" Dawn looked confused.
Xia Li pointed around and said, "There's only one puppet on the entire third floor. It was still there when I came up, but the other players weren't."
What did this mean? It meant that among the first batch of players, only Poxiao survived!
Poxiao's pupils gradually dilated. Even though he was dazed, he understood what Xia Li meant: "So you're saying that lying in the wooden box saved me?!"
No wonder I heard some noise outside when I lay down in a daze, but the sound disappeared after I slept for a while. It turns out... it turned out that they were all killed by that puppet monster!
Xia Li gestured at the wooden box with her chin. "The puppet knew the box would trap it, so it didn't dare move this way. You're actually safe lying inside. Similarly, I stood by the box for so long before it attacked me. This suggests it's instinctively resistant to boxes, and only rushed over to attack us because it had no other choice."
I have to say, Willard's hobbies are really weird. Mummies, human skins, and dolls, none of them are things from the human world.
Not knowing what was on the three floors above, Xia Li took a deep breath and said, "Let's go upstairs."
Dawn opened her eyes: "But your hand..."
Xia Li glanced at her broken hand calmly: "It's nothing, I can protect you, just go get the Devil's Heart."
As the first players to rush to the fourth floor of the Dome Tower, Xia Li and Poxiao didn't know that everyone outside the venue was carefully observing their every move.
Treasure hunt activities are not like dungeons. Only players can record the whole process by turning on the video recording themselves. Willard opened the live broadcast function when the event kicked off. All players who did not sign up to enter the scene can sit in the audience, drink and watch the live broadcast through the projection. As for players who are not in the bar market, they can also enter through the official event page and enjoy the live broadcast benefits like others.
"I told you, that Dawnbreaker is just a boaster every day! Look at him going in alone today, he's as cowardly as a dog!" A player said disdainfully, pointing at the projection.
"Honestly, I don't approve of him either, but!" The player sitting at the next table paused, his bottle of wine clattering against the table. "Who told him to be such a lucky guy?"
He followed the other players all the way, without using a single move, but the mummies on the first floor refused to attack him, only savagely clawing at the other players! He magically made it to the second floor.
The second floor was dark, and the players couldn't see where they were going, so they all leaned on each other's shoulders and continued forward. Dawn was the middle link. Everyone saw the human skin sucking away the players in front of him and capturing the players behind him, but it just wouldn't! Catch! Him!
It was as if that group of people were blind. They passed by him without noticing his presence. His face just flashed by and passed by. Everyone just watched as the European Emperor Dawn miraculously climbed to the third floor again.
"Brother, sometimes we have to admit that God is biased!" The players sighed, clinked glasses with each other, and drank to drown their sorrows.
"Never mind. Li Shen may not have enough luck, but she still managed to reach the fourth floor based on her own strength. So, as the old saying goes, when God closes a door, he will open another window for you."
The others shook their heads when they heard this: "No, God thought we were useless, so he sealed our doors and windows before he left."
"Who is that person?"
Just as the players were chatting with each other, suddenly, a white, slender finger stretched out, scaring the group of people who were drinking.
"Fuck, brother! You can't be so scary this late at night." After seeing that the person reaching out was just an ordinary player, a male mage breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you talking about that female alchemist?"
The man nodded.
"Hey, little brother, I see you've only just started playing Miracle? You don't even recognize Xia Rilihua, who's incredibly famous among players! She's got great positioning, strong mechanics, and incredible damage. You've managed to turn a class that's anything but ordinary into something truly versatile. Just tell me, isn't that amazing?" The male mage sighed, "Why is the gap between people so huge?"
"Come on, Kazami. With your level, you still dream of surpassing the human god." The priest Gagana, who was sitting next to the male mage Kazami, rolled his eyes and complained.
"Bah, Gagnan, you couldn't even beat the Ice Savages and were torn in half on the spot. I just want to ask you, aren't you ashamed?" Feng Jian said as he was about to roll up his sleeves to fight.
Jian Jianbei held his forehead and said, "I say, you two, can't you just watch the live broadcast quietly?"
After saying that, he glanced at the person behind him who asked the question and asked, "By the way, brother, what class do you play? Why are your equipment different from ours?"
"Shooter." The man said expressionlessly.
"Oh, it turns out that archers have this kind of suit. It looks pretty good." Jian Jianbei said as he observed carefully. It was a dark black cloak, dark black armor and shoes. Apart from that, he didn't wear any other accessories. He was a complete white guy.
Jian Jianbei thought for a moment, then asked with a grin, "By the way, brother, what should I call you? Are you interested in joining our Mumu Xiangyang Guild? We're ranked tenth in the server. Once you join, we're all family!"
"Which guild is she from?"
When the man mentioned the word "guild", his speech was unclear, as if he had never pronounced the word before. Jian Jianbei sighed at the man's inexplicable question, knowing that the other party was politely declining the invitation to join the guild, so he said, "Fengyun Tianxia."
"Ranking, high?"
"Not high, even lower than ours, now ranked twelfth in the entire server." Jian Jianbei sighed in his heart, thinking that this guy would not go to a guild full of priests, so he turned around and was about to persuade him, but the man suddenly disappeared at some point.
"Oh my god, this is so rude!" Jian Jianbei rolled his eyes, sat back, and continued to watch the live broadcast with everyone.
I got some new information and learned that she was from Fengyun Tianxia. Although I didn't know what the guild was used for, it sounded like it was very important to the human race.
Collins wore a cloak that hid his face. He raised his cheek slightly and saw through the human projection the female alchemist who had reached the top and the demon heart in her broken and shapeless hands.
