Chapter 18 Head-Beheading Demon
"What will happen?" The two people's teeth chattered at what he said, but they couldn't help but ask.
Surviving the first trial depends on strength and luck, but as long as the players survive, no one dares to take the absence of the copy seriously.
Under the attention of several people, Xu Huo flicked his cigarette and grinned, "I don't know either."
The two players pretending to be station attendants didn't realize that they were being tricked, so they rushed over in anger: "I wanted to leave you a way to survive, but you are seeking death yourself!"
"Ding!"
The brass lighter remained lit. Xu Huo quickly took a few steps back, raised his hands and shouted "Light" twice!
Almost at the same time as he spoke, blue flames burst out from the corners of the clothes of the two players. The ordinary clothes were covered with flames in the blink of an eye like paper. The two men who looked fierce a second ago immediately screamed and tore their clothes.
!
The other three players who were waiting for the opportunity were frightened by this move and stepped back in unison!
"He used game props!" The tall and thin man threw away his clothes and stared at Xu Huo with anger and fear. When he saw the lighter in his hand, his eyes showed greedy light and said to the three people: "You guys
If a few idiots don’t come to help quickly, he must have more than one ticket on him. Only by grabbing the ticket can he go to the next dungeon, otherwise you will just wait to starve to death here!"
However, before the three players could react, a series of "burns" sounded in the hall, and the players' clothes started to burn one after another, even the two fake station attendants who had just taken off their shirts were no exception.
A group of people were rolling on the ground and wailing. Xu Huo stood aside and watched the undressing and self-rescue without emotion. He probably figured out the objects that the "arsonist's tools" could ignite, the size of the flames, and the burning speed.
What can be ignited is limited to the clothes worn by people, but cannot be thrown alone on the ground. The intensity of the flame burning is the same as that of normal fire. There is nothing that cannot be extinguished or can melt metal.
There are two necessary conditions for making a fire. First, there are no obstacles between the lighter and the target. Simply speaking, it means walking in a straight line. Putting the lighter behind your back will not work. Second, the target can hear him shout "burn" and just use his mouth shape.
Nope either.
Of course, the evolved person's hearing is enhanced, and the distance he can control is very large.
Nodding with satisfaction, he checked the time on his phone and disappeared from the station hall.
*
The train was running through a foggy forest, and the light outside dimmed visibly to the naked eye. Xu Huo compared the time on his phone again and found that after the train changed the scenery three times in a row, the timeline was completely disrupted. Now it looked like it was sky.
It was dark, but in fact it had only been two hours since he got in the car.
There is no fixed time difference between the game and the outside world.
As soon as I put the phone down, the game screen suddenly popped up:
[Player A has entered the hot spring mountain world and will participate in the E-level dungeon "Head-Decapitating Demon" by default. Please note that this dungeon is of a low level and players cannot bring non-game props. 】
[Background introduction: The Hot Spring Villa, famous for its natural hot springs, was once widely popular among players and non-players. However, in the past three years, guests who came here for leisure would always lose their heads inexplicably, but there were no traces of the criminals at the scene.
.After several private detectives and police personnel mysteriously disappeared, the owner of the hot spring resort had to launch a high reward to solve this bizarre death. Unfortunately, no results have been achieved so far.]
[To this day, the Hot Spring Villa has become a gathering place for detectives, reporters, and horror story lovers. Before twelve o'clock tonight, another group of guests will arrive at the Villa...]
[Dungeon mission: Protect our head. (Note: Watch your head, otherwise it will run away on its own!)]
[Copy time: five days.]
[Players are requested to check into the hot spring villa before 12 o'clock at night during the game time and complete the dungeon mission. If you fail to clear the level, you will not be able to get the return ticket. 】
[Enter the countdown below: 10, 9, 8, 7...]
After the countdown ended, Xu Huo stood on a path covered by thick fog.
The dense woods are soaked in thick fog, and it is basically invisible from five meters away. Under the dim yellow streetlight, there is a sign with the words "Hot Spring Mountain Station" and "Go straight for 500 meters from Hot Spring Villa".
He took a few steps to the side, but his field of vision did not expand as it did in normal heavy fog. The thick fog blocked his vision and could not see anything except black.
It seems that except for the dungeon required, other places are not unlocked for players. If you fail to clear the level and do not have extra tickets, you may be trapped here.
"Beauty...wait!" Just as he was about to move forward, someone suddenly called him from behind.
Xu Huo put one hand on his waist and turned around. He saw a thin man wearing glasses emerging from the grass. After the man got up, he seemed to be frightened by him.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Who would have thought that a figure with long hair reaching his waist would turn out to be a man who is 1.8 meters tall.
"Hello... you are also a player, right?" The man with glasses scratched his head in embarrassment, "The light was too dark just now and I couldn't see clearly."
Xu Huo touched the hair on the back of his head. He had already had a cut on the road and it had grown back.
Anyway, it will all fall off on its own after a week, so he doesn't really care.
"Going to the Hot Spring Villa?" He handed over a cigarette.
The man with glasses quickly took it over, "Yes, yes, what do you call me brother? Why don't we go together?"
Xu Huo nodded, and the two of them headed towards the villa, one behind the other, keeping a certain distance.
On the way, the man with glasses briefly introduced himself. His name was Yuan Yao, and he was a programmer. By chance, he survived the first trial, but he had no choice but to get on the bus on the last day of the deadline.
He had arrived here in the morning and had been hiding in the bushes on the roadside. Eight players had already passed in front of him. Seeing that the time was approaching, he estimated that Xu Huo was the last one and hurried out to keep him company.
After Xu Huo listened to his words, he asked thoughtfully: "Does each player arrive at a different time?"
Yuan Yao patted his chest and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I'm good at playing games and so on. The dungeon will not be opened until twelve o'clock as announced. Maybe the people who went ahead won't even be able to get in."
Let’s go!”
Of course Xu Huo was not thinking about this, but he didn't say it clearly.
This Yuan Yao was hiding three meters away, but he didn't notice it at all, nor did the eight players who passed in front of him.
His eyes turned to the other person, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Hey, we're here!" Yuan Yao pointed forward.
