"Hmm … Based on our current experience, when we 'discover' something, a monster, or something, it will trigger …" Feng Bujue only finished half of his sentence.
The 'dead body' before them suddenly stood up, and at the same time, a creepy laughter drilled into the five's ears.
Its head slowly lifted, and the face that was slowly revealed was still covered in a layer of shadow under the flashlight. The facial features were barely discernible, and the skin was as green as lead.
"Could it be that he's not dead?" Long Aomin whispered.
"Not dead?" Feng Bujue walked around Long Aomin to walk toward the man who looked like a walking corpse. "Then, that explains it. That lascivious laughter earlier was probably the reaction of this survivor after he was discovered." He had been wearing the goggles, so he knew very well that the man's target was him.
When the monster saw Feng Bujue approach, it immediately made its second response.
"Ah!" Ms. Saddest suddenly screamed from behind.
Not only her, even Mr. Saddest was shocked and yelped in shock. Wang Tanzhi's scream was stuck in his throat. His face was blanched, and his heart stopped for several seconds. Only Long Aomin reacted normally, but even so, his hair was standing on end, and he sucked in a cold breath.
Many arms with festering skin reached out from the walls of the pipe. They were dark and eerie. Moaning and groaning filled the sewer like a wave.
Ms. Saddest retreated in a panic. She closed her eyes and waved the golf club in her hand. Mr. Saddest wanted to stop her, but he was almost hit several times.
Wang Tanzhi was scared out of his mind. His eyes were bulging, and he did not dare move. His hand that gripped the knife was shaking, and his palm was covered in sweat.
Several seconds later, Long Aomin roared, "It's all an illusion! Don't move! " He had not lost his ability to think, and he immediately realized that the arms were just illusions because he saw some of the arms reaching out from the ground pass through his legs, but he did not feel anything strange.
"Even if they are real, they won't be able to touch us!" Long Aomin shouted again.
Only then did Lonesome calm down slightly. Lonesome grabbed her and comforted her softly. Even though he was also creeped out, seeing his girlfriend so panicked, he calmed down a little. He repeatedly told himself that this was just a game. No matter how scary the scene was, it was only temporary and fake.
More than ten meters away, Feng Bujue had already arrived in front of the monster. Those terrifying images and sounds did not affect him in the slightest. He did not even blink. He held a baseball bat in his hand and stretched his neck twice, looking like he was ready to swing the bat.
When the monster saw that the other party didn't fall for it, it used a third method.
From a male corpse wearing dirty clothes, it instantly turned into a living beauty … She looked to be in her twenties, wearing a black spaghetti strap short skirt. Her fine black hair fell to her shoulders, and her skin was as white as snow. Her chest was half exposed, and her slender jade-like legs were faintly discernible from the side of her skirt. Between her brows, there was an indescribable charm.
Feng Bujue was startled for a second, and then he put the bat back into his backpack.
When the male players behind him saw this, they instantly tossed him condescending looks, even though they understood what he was doing …
"I almost forgot …" Feng Bujue had just put the bat away when he took out the wrench from his backpack. "Since it's a humanoid creature, I can use this weapon to attack and earn Skill Points," he said casually as he raised the wrench and swung it at the monster's head.
Bang bang bang …
The wrench slammed into the monster's skull again and again. Black blood gushed out, and it was a ghastly sight. When Feng Bujue landed a blow on its physical body, the monster morphed back into its original appearance of a green-faced corpse, and the illusions around it disappeared as the monster was heavily injured.
The four behind him watched Feng Bujue's efficient, courageous, and merciless attack without saying a word. Three of them had unstable Terror Points because their minds were wandering, and the main question was whether the name 'Feng Bujue' was hiding some deeper message …
After the monster's head was completely smashed, Feng Bujue reached his hand into the dead body's shirt pocket to search. He found the Key of Wood, and the item description was similar to the Key of Fire.
"Current quest completed. Main quest updated."
After picking up the key, there was a tick on the right side of the quest, and a new quest appeared. "Return to the Demonic Door and recover the seal."
"Done. Let's go." Feng Bujue turned around.
"Hmm … Brother Feng …" Long Aomin said. "How did you know this monster would be so … vulnerable?"
"I knew it when it stood up," Feng Bujue replied. "When those arms appeared, I was even more certain. This kind of monster is obviously used to test the player's Terror Points. If the people in the team do not dare to get close to it due to fear, the various illusions will escalate. Even if it does not scare the players out of the game, at least it will make the player's rating very bad. " He paused. "When it transforms into a beauty, it means that it has run out of options. It can only turn into something that is sexually attractive to me to buy time." He suddenly scratched his chin. "Wait a minute … How did the system know about my sexual orientation? If I'm gay or bisexual, what will it turn into?"
Mr. Loneliest then said, "You used your ID to log in to the forum, so you should have this question in your user profile, right?"
"Because the game company has my data, the system 'knows' about it …" Feng Bujue said darkly. "Fine, we'd better hurry back."
…
On the way back, the five tried their best to move as fast as they could. They could feel that the scenario would not end just like that. Even if the final boss called Sam Montier did not show up or was unable to, a powerful demon would show up as the final boss.
It was impossible to reach the door before the next darkness descended, but at least they had to ensure that the final boss would not be strengthened by the next darkness.
As they expected, when the five were on their way back to the plaza, the darkness descended. This was the fourth time they had entered the scenario. Counting the ten minutes before the first darkness, they had spent almost two hours in the scenario.
When the fourth darkness descended, they did not hear anything. There was no breathing, no whispering, and no laughter. Feng Bujue felt that this was not a good sign. In this kind of scary game, every change that broke the rules meant that the situation was heading in a bad direction.
Three minutes after the fourth darkness, they returned to the plaza. By then, even Long Aomin was gasping for air. After two hours of running, fighting, walking, moving, and so on … everyone had exhausted a lot of Stamina Points.
Mr. Loneliest and Ms. Saddest had expended about four hundred Stamina Points each. They were level seven and level six respectively. Including the Stamina Points that they recovered from their rest, they still had about two hundred Stamina Points left. Long Aomin had expended the most Stamina Points. Just the Lightning Bash that he used when he encountered the monster baby had consumed three hundred Stamina Points. Including the fact that he had been fighting the zombie, he had expended more than seven hundred Stamina Points. Actually, this was already considered low. Due to his inconspicuous attribute, he exhausted less Stamina Points than the others when he was running. It was the same when he was fighting. The difference was slowly accumulating. Including the Stamina Points that he recovered, he had about 2891000 Stamina Points left.
Compared to the other three, Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi, who were level five, had only a few dozen Stamina Points left after participating in a battle. It was a miracle.
"The quest has been updated. We should be able to use the keys now, right?" Wang Tanzhi said, gasping for air.
Feng Bujue walked to the front of the five. He faced the door and took out two keys. He placed the keys in his hands and approached the door. He did this for about ten seconds, but nothing happened.
"Something's not right …" Long Aomin saw this and said, "Why is there still no reaction?"
"No … I believe something has happened." Feng Bujue looked into the distance. "Look."
The plaza was very large, and they could see several hundred meters around them. At that moment, thousands of monsters rushed out from the various streets of the city. They looked strange, but they could be split into two types: the savage type and the eerie type.
These monsters moved very slowly. Their appearance created a despairing atmosphere, and when the despairing feeling was slowed down, it only added to the fear.
"How is this possible? Have we done something wrong? " Mr. Loneliest started to panic, and he could not help but raise his voice. "In this situation, we are definitely going to die, right?"
Feng Bujue was surprised by this development as well. He said, "Sam Montier is unable to get close to the keys or the seal on the door, so he won't personally come to kill us. The demons are not willing to get close to this place. They are not afraid of the keys, but they are afraid of the door. Or rather … they are afraid of returning to the realm on the other side of the door. That is why there are no demons wandering this large plaza. " He wanted to use that to calm the situation. "Now that they are approaching this place, they have no choice. We should try our best to stand as close to the door as possible and observe the situation. "
"What if they ignore the Demonic Door and charge at us directly?" Long Aomin asked.
"We will retreat into the door," Feng Bujue said.
"Brother Bujue … that is the Demonic Realm! What if there are more monsters on the other side? "Wang Tanzhi asked.
"That might not be the case. I suspect the other side of the door is some kind of prison. Now that all the prisoners have escaped, perhaps the place is empty. Furthermore … isn't it the same no matter where we die? "Feng Bujue asked." After all, we will just return to the log-in lobby. "
The five soon retreated to the door and stood with their backs facing the Demonic Door. Feng Bujue was still trying to figure out the whole scenario in his mind. The thing that caught his attention was the 'cycle' that the monster tree mentioned. What kind of cycle was this city that had been removed from the real world going through? Perhaps if he solved this puzzle, he would be able to find out Sam Montier's pattern or weakness or the way to recover the seal.
Many clues intertwined in his mind, and Feng Bujue did not have much time left. He reorganized his thoughts. A pool isolated from the river of time … the darkness that comes once every half an hour … the disappearance of the whispers in the darkness …
