Chapter 27 Player Encounter

"Is it really necessary to come here for a walk?"

"This game is a bit too serious."

"The main thing is that the NPCs complained about us being cowardly and lying. We brought shame to the undead. Sigh."

"The channel through which we get information is somewhat irregular, and there's no way to explain it to the NPC that we saw it from a post."

The two people in front were still complaining, but considering that the continuous task had been activated after all, and it was very likely that the first copy would be opened, their inner complaints were suppressed.

The agile Zangetsudao offered his own suggestion: "I think we should play this game according to normal people's thinking, rather than using game mechanics."

Seeing that the two people in front of him and his favorite Baisi, who was playing the role of "photographer" beside him, were looking at him, he cleared his throat and said, "Think about it, this game is so real except that you can't go to the toilet. The AI ​​is also very smart. It must simulate the way humans think. The method of skipping the problem-solving process and giving the answer directly in other games should not be used here. We have to assume that they are living people."

"They are NPCs. How can we pretend? If we use our high intelligence to communicate with them, we will definitely have a brain hemorrhage."

"makes sense."

"I think so," Favorite White Silk cleared her throat, "This is still the game code. It looks like De Geer is dissatisfied with our perfunctory attitude, but in fact, the production team has long known the nature of us players and buried the lines here, waiting for us to take the bait."

"If you put it that way, I understand."

After receiving the task of investigating the scavenger's nest from Lind, the four players currently stationed at Star Dragon Outpost tried to skip the "problem-solving" process and gave the answer directly. Instead of receiving the reward from the lord, they were reprimanded.

"How precious is the white lotus that grows out of the mud without getting stained! Why are warriors who are not afraid of the roar of lions so respected! O immortals..."

He has so much set of words, and he even has to be very pretentious when insulting people.

Damn, the NPC looks down on me!

They say that we players are timid and like to lie.

So the four of them decided to actually come and investigate the scavenger's nest carefully, and before coming, they also contacted @李姐万岁 privately, hoping to get more information about the scavenger's nest from him.

The other party was of course extremely looking forward to it. If it weren't for the fact that the Scavenger's Lair dungeon looked promising, he would have deleted his account and started over long ago.

Walk through the rocks and along the barren paths.

Turning around and looking back, the Star Dragon Outpost was getting smaller and smaller, and was covered in a haze that was difficult to see with the naked eye under the broken moonlight.

"I found the prop," Long Linjian suddenly said, holding a piece of dried rat meat in his hand.

"Keep it. The territory's food is not for sale to outsiders now."

Players also need to eat, eating helps restore health.

They will choose to endure the loss of blood, or simply commit suicide on the spot, and come back to pick up the equipment and experience that are dropped.

There was still no money and no source of food in the early stages.

With the first person picking up the meat, the rest of the people subconsciously lowered their heads while walking, for fear of missing something.

"According to the operation, it is unlikely that the four of us can eat the entire scavenger nest."

"Ah."

"There should be a prequel, or after we defeat the boss, De Geer will lead the soldiers to appear in the CG, and we will applaud on the sidelines."

"Stop talking, it smells like that."

The four men kept talking, but drew their weapons as they got closer and closer to the small hill in the north.

The terrain around Xinglong Sentinel is strange. To the west and north, there is a dead tree forest, and to the west and north of the dead tree forest are mountains, just like a towering city wall encircling the place.

There are a group of small hills to the northeast, which is their destination.

The wolf-tooth-shaped hill aroused the tension of the four people.

The countless "wolf fangs" were like the wide-open mouth of a disaster monster with hundreds or thousands of teeth, and they were walking towards each other's open mouth step by step.

The four players felt a chill in their hearts at the same time, and at the same time couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.

It's so real that you can forget that it's a game.

It was a quiet night, but it seemed like there was danger lurking in every corner.

Turning their heads and looking back, the undead people who were incapable of "tiring" could no longer see the Star Dragon Outpost behind them. The concave terrain completely blocked their sight.

Turn your gaze back again.

"I think luring the monsters is a good idea," said Qilin Sword, "solve them one by one and let the Calabash Brothers save Grandpa."

Investigation = Assassination = Annihilation!

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other three immediately understood.

It's exactly the same procedure as before for investigating homeless people.

They said it was an investigation, but in the end they just took direct action.

We players are like this.

"Can it be operated?" "I don't think it's a question of whether it can be operated or not. Look at what it is."

Favorite Baisi stretched out her hand and pointed forward.

The veil of darkness failed to completely cover my eyes. A swaying figure had emerged from the darkness and was walking towards this side on the mottled and barren path.

This was also the first time that players truly saw the appearance of a "disaster monster".

His skin was dry and his body was hunched, like a mummy.

However, the monster's claws and paws are very large, which is very discordant. It is this discord that makes the mummy bend forward when walking.

There was an empty bag in his stomach.

No, not a bag, but a belly.

Have you ever seen someone lose weight from 300 pounds to 140? It's probably like this.

Drooping.

"Do you want to do it or not?"

"We are not here to investigate. Can anyone tell me how to investigate to complete the mission?"

"I can't come."

"It's not our turn to choose. It noticed us."

"Fuck, it's sharper than a dog's nose."

If they saw scavengers in real life, they would definitely scream in fear, the kind of fear they would have if they saw one on the roadside on Halloween.

But in the game, haha, there’s nothing to be afraid of!

Plate it!

"1v1? I'll do it! I can parry!"

The favorite Baisi took the first step forward, raised the sword, gathered her energy, and got into position in one go.

His proactive step forward was seen by the scavenger as a signal of provocation.

“Ah——!” The scavenger did not attack, but instead raised its head and let out a miserable howl.

"Fuck you, why are you calling for help again!"

The four players were confused. This game was unreasonable. Why did the other side always call for help every time they were about to start a fight?

If you guys stick together like this, how are we players supposed to show off?

Run, or... fight?

"on!"

Players don’t have the concept of being scared because it doesn’t hurt anyway.

"You two get out of the way," said Favorite White Silk, "I'll lure the monster first. If I can't handle it, you three can let it have a taste of the Three Dogs Slaughtering God Formation."

"I￥%#......!"

After the scavenger finished howling at the top of his lungs while dragging his empty belly like a bag, he kicked off the ground with his legs and ran straight to his beloved Baisi, who was closest to him.

The bloodthirstiness of the scavengers makes them never miss an opportunity to fill their stomachs.

The claws raised high drew an arc as they jumped and stabbed down at the highest point.

Bai Si, who had just vowed to be her favorite, instinctively swung her sword.

It’s too early to “reject” yourself!
"Fuck! It's actually a fast and slow knife!"

The body instinctively rolled forward to avoid it.

Because Favorite White Silk flashed forward, the Scavenger logically fell into the "Three Dogs Killing God Formation" of the trio, that is, three people attacked from three directions.

Ding bang.

The claws hit the shield, and the man with the Xuanwu Shield who was carrying the shield was knocked down.

"I'm fine!" Xuanwu Shield gritted his teeth.

Almost broke the defense.

The Dragon Scale Sword and the Moon-Chopping Knife quickly made two more strikes, and the weapons left two hideous wounds on the scavenger without any hindrance.

"It's okay, it has high attack and low defense!"

No one was afraid, on the contrary, they were very enthusiastic.

"This is what it's like to fight a boss!"
