Thump — Thump —
A clear and loud heartbeat came from the bread man's body like the beating of a drum.
Xiao Tan, who was running away with a bread stick, turned his head when he heard the sound.
Feng Bujue, who was following Wang Tanzhi from the perspective of a spectator, turned his gaze one second earlier than Xiao Tan.
"Pan …" The bread man's voice suddenly became low and deep. He stood up from the ground and looked at Xiao Tan. "Pan!"
"What! You're saying you're going to be serious? "Xiao Tan looked at him with a solemn expression.
"Hey! How did you hear it! "Feng Bujue was shocked." Did you hear it from 'pan pan pan pan'? "
"Papapa …" The bread man made a few short trembling sounds that sounded like a sneer. "Pan ~ pan pan pan, pan!"
"You … have this ability?" Xiao Tan's expression changed abruptly when he heard the bread man's words.
"No matter what his ability is, it's nothing compared to your ability to translate the bread language!" Feng Bujue heard Xiao Tan's words and complained.
"Pan (ban) … Pan (kai)!" The next second, the bread man raised his remaining left arm and shouted two syllables that sounded like "Bankai".
And … he was obviously not just saying it because at this moment, an amazing spiritual pressure burst out from his body. His broken arm was instantly repaired by this power. Then, his body began to change. The bread color on his body deepened slightly, and a wave of heat came out of his body.
This process lasted about ten seconds. After it was over, the bread man looked at Xiao Tan and snorted coldly. "Pan … Pan pan!"
When his voice fell, a strong burnt wheat bran smell, which also contained the complex and harmonious aroma of honey and milk, wafted over. Obviously … the bread man had become more delicious after being heated at super high speed.
"What the f * ck …" Feng Bujue roared when he saw the transformation. "What's the point of this transformation?"
"So that's how it is … Because it has become more fluffy, its volume has increased slightly. It can also compress the heat within the body to burn the enemy …" Xiao Tan looked at the other party with a serious expression.
"Burn my ass! Feng Bujue said gloomily, "Why do you still care about it? Why don't you just take the bread and turn in the mission? "
On this point, Xiao Tan had the same thoughts as Brother Jue.
"But … he's still no match for me." Xiao Tan then said to Bao Ren, "I don't want to hurt you anymore, so don't chase after me …" After saying that, he turned and ran.
"Pan?" The bread man was stunned at first, then he shouted, "Pan! pan！” As it yelled, it started to chase after Xiao Tan, but its speed was not fast enough to catch up to Xiao Tan. Soon, it was left in the dust.
"Hmm … Although the starting point was different, at least he made the right choice in the end …" Seeing that Xiao Tan had shaken off the monster, Feng Bujue finally let out a long sigh of relief.
…
On the other hand …
The four members of Team Corn were really lucky. After chasing away a storyline NPC, less than ten minutes later, they found another item that was related to the storyline in the ruins.
"This is …" Liu Sanfeng looked around and stood in front of a two-meter-tall stone tablet.
The color of this stone was pure white, without the slightest trace of dirt or wear, as if the passage of time could not leave a mark on this stone.
On one side of the stone tablet, there was a picture. In the middle of the picture was the image of a woman in a long dress. Her arms were crossed, hugging her shoulders, and she stood with her head lowered. Around the woman was a circle of unidentified objects in the shape of sand, floating around her like a halo. Outside the circle of sand, there were three objects that looked like eyeballs, and the pupils of each eyeball were looking in the opposite direction of the woman.
"Hmm …" Liu Sanfeng looked at the picture and said, "Based on the scenario introduction, the woman on the stone tablet is most likely the 'goddess' … and the three eyeballs are the 'three eyes of this world'. Then … the content of this picture is … "Liu Sanfeng said," The goddess is using her own power to control the three eyes to search for something? "
After giving it some thought, he shook his head. "Never mind, there's nothing to think about. It's a waste of time."
He was not wrong … After all, they had already offended the plot NPC, so they might as well follow the strategy of 'ignoring the plot' to the end.
If they were too preoccupied, they might end up being dragged down.
Therefore, Liu Sanfeng walked away from the stone tablet and continued his journey to find the enemy team members …
…
At the same time …
"Hey, Ruo Yu, what's going on over there?" Hua Jian, who was traveling together with Ruo Yu, seemed to have seen something in the distance that caught her interest. She immediately called out to her teammate beside her and pointed into the distance.
"That is …" Ruo Yu looked in the direction that Hua Jian was pointing, and she saw a strange shadow that was different from the rest of the building.
She looked into the distance with rapt attention and soon saw some clues.
"Hmm … The remains of this statue do seem a little strange." Ruo Yu muttered.
"Yes … I also feel that something is wrong," Hua Jian said. "Theoretically speaking, it shouldn't have ended up like this, right?"
The strange thing that they were talking about was the statue's state …
The sculpture was of a valiant man wearing armor and a cloak on his back. Judging from his face, this should be the 'king' in the opening cinematic.
Normally speaking, the remains of a statue like this would either be lying on the ground, or the pedestal would still be standing, but the upper part of the pedestal would be damaged or broken.
However, the human-shaped giant statue before Ruo Yu and Hua Jian was standing at a strange angle …
The statue's left leg below the thigh and right leg below the knee were buried in the ground, and the parts that were exposed formed a forty-five degree angle with the ground. The statue was like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or rather … it was like a toy soldier that was stuck in the sand by a child.
"Perhaps the ground below it suddenly collapsed and solidified …" Ruo Yu looked at it for a few seconds and came up with a plausible hypothesis.
"Is it possible that some creature grabbed it and stuck it into the ground by force?" Hua Jian asked.
"The statue itself is as big as a giant. Something that could grab it and stick it into the ground …" Ruo Yu continued. "Probably only the gods of this world could do that."
"That's true," Hua Jian said.
"Hmm … that's true," Ruo Yu said thoughtfully. "How about … we go over and take a look? We might be able to trigger some kind of plot near this statue. "
"Sure," Hua Jian answered immediately.
The four from Underworld Frontline obviously did not completely ignore the plot development, so the two of them quickly made a decision and walked toward the statue.
…
On the other hand, on Xiao Ling's side …
So far, Xiao Ling's search area had exceeded the total search area of all the other players.
Her efficiency was undeniably high. In terms of detection ability, even Feng Bujue was far behind her.
Speaking of which … her data had not been listed in the previous chapters because she was killed by Brother Jue at the beginning of the super dimension battle royale scenario, so this was the perfect time to introduce her in detail.
Laughing Soul: Level 46

The detailed effects of all the above new items and skills will be written down one by one in this chapter, so I won't list the items one by one here. However, there were two items that needed to be mentioned. The first was Vanguard Shield.
This item was obtained by Xiao Tan in the "Scary Nursery Rhymes" scenario by playing rock-paper-scissors. It was a perfect-grade armor that would be bound after equipping. Since Xiao Tan already had the [Titanium Alloy Jinhua Ham] and the effects of the two armor overlapped, he gave it to Xiao Ling.
The second item was …
[Name: Astral Vision Signal Bullet x5]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Function: Create a Spiritual Explosion.]
[Remark: After the Astral Vision Signal Bullet is released, it will detonate at a precise distance of 200 meters from the release point. It will trigger a Spiritual Particle Concentration Reaction that will last for about 10 seconds. Only those with Level D Sorcery Mastery and above can see this reaction.]
The Astral Vision Signal Bullet was very small and was shaped like a shotgun bullet. It could be fired without the need for a gun, so it was a very convenient item.
Based on the description, it was clear that … this was not something that could be bought from a shop.
In fact, it was' invented 'and' created 'by a player. And that player was the Workmanship Guru, Matcha Cookie, who had made an appearance in Tournament for the Best S1.
Now, she was doing very well in the game and had become the pillar of Mountain River Gaming Studio (the studio that Autumn Gust worked at). More than half of the studio's income came from Matcha Cookie and her assistants. And the actual method … was to collect materials, create items, set a price, and sell them.
The Workmanship Mastery, which had always been viewed as a neglected profession, after the difficult leveling period, it welcomed a new era. Because after the mastery reached Level S, one could create various items both inside and outside the scenario. Combined with the 'free exploration mode', this kind of thing became much more convenient.
In Thriller Paradise, the 'in-scenario communication item' had always been a very, very rare item. Even though some scenarios came with walkie-talkies, phones, and communicators, these items … either could not be taken out of the scenario, or they would become useless once they were taken out of the scenario. Obviously, the game company had purposely limited the players' communication behavior in the scenario.
Therefore, things like 'signal flares' naturally had a good market. Even though they would not be used in every scenario, it was better to have a few of them with you. Furthermore, with the upcoming 'team competition', similar items would be popular, and the price would increase soon.
…
Alright, back to the story …
Forty minutes into the scenario, Xiao Ling, with her excellent detection ability, managed to find the traces left behind by the enemy team.
Even though it was mentioned earlier … in such a large area as Bai Country, it was extremely difficult to find a single person or team. But 'difficult' did not mean impossible.
Speaking of which … this was the fault of the four members of the Team Corn. If they had not gotten into an altercation with the old man in the black robe who demanded the corn, their whereabouts would not have been exposed.
Unfortunately … they had made their move.
Once there was a battle, even if it was only for a short period of time or a simple skill, there would be traces left behind.
Even though Liu San Feng's Sea King's Lance was neutralized by the old man in the black robe, when he attacked, his Mana surged, causing his feet to leave deep footprints on the ground. Other than that … his teammates also subconsciously left behind some footprints after they entered combat mode, especially Brother Weiwu … The footprints left behind by his earlier attack were incredibly obvious.
The members of the Team Corn did not think about cleaning up this kind of footprints … because their footsteps were lighter when they were not in combat mode, and they would not leave footprints on the hard ground. So, along the way, they did not consider this problem at all.
Who would have thought that these seven or eight footprints would be the prelude to their team's demise?
"Haha … They are indeed new …" After walking closer to observe the footprints, Xiao Ling's face lit up with a smile. "One, two, three … all four of them are here, and …" She paced lightly around the area, and her mind was racing. "… there was a battle here."
Xiao Ling's goggles, Fisher's Eye, had the ability to detect heat and night vision, so she could see the residual heat. With her experience … it was not hard for her to conclude that there had been a battle here.
"Hmm … Since there are so few footprints, it means that the battle was very short. Either the battle was over very quickly, or one of the parties ran away as soon as the battle started …" Xiao Ling said.
"Most likely one of the parties ran away …" At this time, Feng Bujue, the spirit behind the scenes, had switched his vision to Xiao Ling's side. (Switching vision was very convenient, and there was no time limit, so Feng Bujue would often switch to the back of each of his teammates to check out the situation in a few places.) He said confidently, "If the battle was over, then the loser would either be dead or injured, and there would be some blood stains on the ground … The enemies would not clean up the blood stains because anyone who could think of cleaning up the blood stains would also be able to think of cleaning up the footprints. Of course … there's another possibility … the monster they were fighting didn't have any blood. For example, it could be a bread man or something like that … That makes sense. They killed the monster in an instant and ate it, then left behind this scene … "
Xiao Ling could not hear her Brother Jue's inference, but she soon came to the same conclusion. "Hmm … One of the parties ran away …" She did not dwell on this question for too long. Compared to what they fought before, Xiao Ling was more interested in … "Where are they now?"
"Should I use the signal flare … or …" Xiao Ling thought for a few seconds and decided not to use it for now.
In the next five minutes, she quickly scanned the surrounding area again. Then, she returned to the area with the footprints and carefully analyzed the direction and position of the footprints … Then, she ran in one direction …
…
On the other hand …
"Old man, I brought you the bread." Xiao Tan took the French long stick that he cut off from the bread man and returned to the old man in the black robe. He handed the bread to the old man without hesitation.
"Kid, you really have the spirit of a contract …" Feng Bujue saw this scene and could not help but say, "From the beginning to the end, it was purely a verbal agreement. Not even a mission was triggered, and there was no system notification … What if the old man took the bread and ran away? What if he quickly swallowed the bread and immediately reneged on the deal? What if he hit his head with the bread and lay on the ground to extort game coins from you? "
"Hmm … young man." The old man in the black robe took the bread, and his expression changed slightly. After two seconds, he looked at Xiao Tan and asked, "What do you think of the things that have passed away?"
"If you are referring to his childhood, then it should not have passed away yet," Feng Bujue said as he looked at the old man.
"Uh … Can you be more specific?" Xiao Tan felt that the old man's question was too general to answer, so he asked again.
"For example … This country …" The old man in the black robe continued.
Xiao Tan heard this, thought for a moment, and replied, "I don't know much about this country, but from what I know … I think the king brought about his own destruction, and the people were implicated because of him."
"Hmm?" The old man in the black robe asked, "Aren't you from this country?"
The moment he asked this question, Feng Bujue seemed to understand something …
"No." Xiao Tan, who was unsuspecting, immediately replied.
"Haha … I see, that's great." The old man in the black robe smiled. He put the bread in his arms and suddenly reached out his hand to grab Xiao Tan. "Come with me …"
Before he finished speaking, he had turned into a black light and flew into the sky with Xiao Tan.
