A terrible roar came from downstairs, and the whole floor shook. The decorations on the wall fell to the ground, making a crackling sound. Then there were several shrill screams from downstairs, which were extremely piercing screams.
It seemed like a huge gap opened up in the night sky, making everyone in the hotel shudder.
The mage turned sideways, trying to hear something... But he was disappointed. After the screams stopped, the space returned to silence, and there were no longer any weird noises. Time passed minute by second in the silence, if it weren't for Bei
The big hole in the side wall still reminded them of what happened just now. I'm afraid they would think it was just an illusion.
A gust of cold wind blew in from the hole, and the three people were so excited that they finally woke up.
"What's going on?" Xiao Fen looked at the debris and debris everywhere, a little confused about the situation.
"You go out first!" Yun Na turned her back to him, and calm words came out of her mouth. Xue nodded, gently pushed him out of the back room, and said softly: "Fen... get out of here!"
The mage smiled bitterly. He shook his head and walked out of the outer room with the rules of the dark secret in his hands. He walked cautiously along the corridor to the stairs. The Frog Prince followed him closely. This guy was sometimes a little timid, but he was curious.
The heart is extremely strong, which cannot but be said to be a contradictory existence.
Xiao Fen immediately noticed a pool of dark red liquid flowing near the corridor on the first floor. If he guessed correctly, it should be blood. He carefully came to the first floor, and the scene in front of him immediately shocked him - the wind lamp had been extinguished.
, any light source seemed to have been artificially removed, but through the darkness he could still clearly see two corpses wearing warrior equipment lying on the ground, but they looked like they were NPCs. Tables and chairs were overturned everywhere, and further away
The place was spattered with blood. Judging from the position where the blood was spattered, it proved that at least six people had died here. Those people should be players, because the bodies had disappeared.
The mage turned his head and noticed four large holes in the wall on the side of the tavern door. He nodded, guessing that the opponent should break in from here.
A soft white light lit up from behind the mage. The goblin raised the lighting staff with a thin hand. The light produced by the lighting staff covered the entire first floor. The goblin took a step back and took a breath of air.
The scene was beyond his expectation.
"What's going on? It's not safe in the tavern! This is too scary!" the goblin shouted in disbelief.
Xiao Fen shook his head and whispered: "The entire town has been involved in regional tasks. The only thing to blame is the idiot who casually entered the task! But..." He buried his head and thought for a moment, "But this
How did that guy touch the mission of such difficulty? According to the game's consideration of protecting players, the greater the scope of the impact, the more difficult the mission should be difficult to touch, right?"
"The great goblin doesn't like it here! I have a bad feeling... I think it's better for us to leave!" the Frog Prince stammered.
"That's right! Frog, go up and let Xue and the others prepare. We'll leave immediately! We can't wait any longer!" The mage frowned and ordered calmly.
The goblin looked at the messy hall on the first floor again, nodded as if he had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly ran up to the second floor, leaving only a series of thumping footsteps. At this time, the other two players also raised their hands.
The torches rushed down, and they turned the corner of the corridor to Xiao Fen. They only glanced at the first floor, and immediately screamed and were frightened to death.
Xiao Fen stared at the corpses of the two NPCs. The wounds on the corpses were very shallow, but the positions were fatal. Obviously these two guys were quickly eliminated... He touched his chin with his fingers, feeling a little confused. Why?
These players and NPCs would be eliminated within a single encounter, but the gargoyle would not attack them at all? And according to the two players, the monster should kill all the creatures it encounters.
Then the mage took two steps forward, and his eyes carefully scanned the two corpses. Two identical small things on the chests of the corpses caught his attention.
"This is...?" Xiao Fen noticed that they were two badges. If he guessed correctly, they should be union badges. A snow-white fang as the pattern of the union badge - the mage recalled the three in the afternoon
Players, those three guys all seem to be wearing badges of this style.
Some things he encountered during the day, as well as some snippets of conversations, flashed through his mind, and he seemed to have vaguely grasped something, but there were too few clues, and he couldn't tell what it was for the time being. While thinking wildly, Xiao Fen
He turned back unconsciously, then his eyes narrowed, and he noticed that the two players behind him had the same badge on their chests.
"Local union?" Xiao Fen was slightly stunned. He had always known that there was a player organization called a local union in Canaan. This kind of union was not very big, but its influence in the local area was amazing, even in the entire town.
It is possible that all players on the Internet are members of a union. Such local unions often appear in places without the influence of large unions.
While the mage was pondering, a burst of footsteps came from far and near on the street. The three people looked in that direction warily at the same time. Xiao Fen even raised the staff in his hand, but they soon let go.
A sigh of relief - because it was just an ordinary player who rushed in from outside the damaged wall.
Xiao Fen subconsciously looked at the other person's chest, and there was indeed an identical badge there.
The player stumbled in and shouted: "No! The Juniper Hotel was attacked -" He stopped abruptly, looked at the messy hall with a pale face, and blurted out: "This place was also attacked?
"
The two players behind Xiao Fen ran over to support him, and one of them said angrily: "Nonsense, otherwise, where do you think the four holes in the wall came from?"
The player took a breath and continued: "This time we were not just attacked! The opponent came to the Juniper Hotel, but they didn't find the boss. They only left a message, asking us to hand over that thing before dawn tomorrow...
Otherwise—" He stopped abruptly because he noticed that there were outsiders here.
"Otherwise what?" Another player asked eagerly.
The player quietly pointed at Xiao Fen, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor on the first floor, and then pulled them to a corner and whispered quietly. Xiao Fen smiled slightly and caught sight of snow from the corner of his eye. Yun Na followed the goblin and Uncle Malen from
They walked down the corridor. Although they were all wearing full equipment now, Xiao Fen still couldn't help but think of the scene he saw before, and his eyes couldn't help but drift a little.
Xue was so pretty that he looked at her and she was dizzy. She walked up to the mage and gently squeezed his hand and said, "Don't show that lustful look."
The mage smiled again, but then he showed a serious expression and ordered: "Let's go get the carriage quickly. I feel like this town is about to be in trouble, and it's a big trouble!"
The Frog Prince trembled, looked left and right, and said with a green face: "You...don't say it in such a way that makes people shudder, okay?"
Xiao Fen ignored him and took one last look at the three guys who were whispering in the corner. Then he led the four of them out of the Magic Eye Hotel quickly. As soon as they came to the street, the five of them immediately noticed that the evening was ten o'clock.
The faint, slightly thin red mist has now become very dense. Their sight in this mist is only less than 1/3 of the usual, and in fact, the system prompts sounded the moment they stepped into the mist.
Got up.
"System prompt: Player, you have entered the low-level sinking area. In this area, your damage, saving throw, defense, and flexibility will all have a +1 effect."
"Huh?" Xiao Fen opened his mouth. If the mist reminded him that all damage, saving throws, defense, and agility would have a -1 effect, maybe he would wake up after just being stunned, but now the system actually prompted that all effects would be +1.
, in this environment, it seems a bit strange.
"Damn! All attributes -1, saving throw, damage, defense and agility -1! Did you make a mistake?" The goblin complained dissatisfiedly, shaking his thin green hands, looking angrily.
Xue also frowned and said worriedly: "I am -2, this fog is so severe."
"Are you talking about minus?" Xiao Fen was stunned again. He raised his staff and looked surprised. "But I am plus."
"What?" Everyone exclaimed in low voices. They stopped and looked at Xiao Fen like a monster.
"Maybe it has something to do with the camp!" The mage explained in a tone that he didn't even believe. He waved his hand for everyone to move on, but doubts arose in his heart - he said it was related to the camp, but thinking about it, it shouldn't.
That's it. Among the four players, Xue is of the neutral good camp, Goblin is rebellious and good, Yun Na is absolutely neutral, and he himself is chaotic neutral... Could it be that only chaotic neutrality can get bonuses? Obviously impossible!
Xiao Fen tightened the dark secret law rules in his hand, thinking to himself that this was probably the function of this artifact.
The carriage depository was on the east side of the town, and they had to walk through the main street on the east side of the town in the red mist. At this time, the streets seemed a little deserted. Occasionally, there were one or two dog barks coming from unknown corners, but this sudden noise
The sound made people even more sad.
The red mist gathered thicker and thicker, gradually forming a thick gas, and the air began to be filled with a trace of rotten smell. Although this smell was vague, it was enough to make people sick. The red mist began to slowly
As it rolled, the surrounding visibility became lower and lower, almost only 6o feet.
The five people were as vigilant as possible. They looked around cautiously, fearing that a terrifying monster or something would burst out of the red mist.
"Ah——!" At this moment, a desperate scream came from the front, the sound was only half loud, and then stopped abruptly. This sudden sound made Xiao Fen and others' hearts jump, and the goblin's face continued to turn blue.
Xue bit her lower lip tightly, her face pale.
A few strands of cold sweat broke out on the mage's forehead, but Yun Na remained calm, and the expression on her face did not change at all.
At the same time, another voice sounded. This voice should be begging: "Don't... don't come here! No... I quit the membership! I am not a member of the Wolf Fang Union now - ah!" There was a muffled sound of metal cutting into the chest.
Come over, then the heavy object falls to the ground, and then there is a gurgling sound like water.
Xiao Fen stopped. Not far in front of him was a corpse lying limply on the ground. A large gash was opened on the corpse's neck, and blood continued to gush out from the wound, with that terrifying gurgling sound.
The cooing sound merged into a stream. Then, the corpse gradually disappeared, turning into dots of white light and disappearing into the air.
"Where is the monster that killed this guy?" The goblin swallowed his saliva and asked a little at a loss.
"I don't think it's still waiting for you to visit." Xiao Fen joked, and at the same time gently raised the staff in his hand. Others also followed suit and tightened their weapons, even Uncle Mullens.
They all picked up his sharp logging axe.
They did not wait for the imaginary enemy. Instead, a series of chaotic footsteps came from the east. These footsteps were also mixed with the nervous or fearful screams of many players. The five people looked forward at the same time. This gaze
There is vigilance and doubt.
The first player came out of the red mist. He was a mage. He stumbled forward with a horrified expression on his face; while the other two guys with no apparent occupation followed him closely, with expressions on their faces.
Pretty much the same expression.
"Run!" When the player saw Xiao Fen and others, he immediately shouted to them, his expression full of panic.
Xiao Fen was stunned for a moment, and then he saw more than a dozen guys in similar condition rushing out of the red mist in front of him. He opened his mouth and didn't realize what these guys were doing. 'Boom!' The ground shook.
Or should I say it jumped, the goblin sat down on the ground, and many players were knocked to the ground like him.
"Back!" The mage immediately noticed something was wrong. He grabbed the goblin who fell to the ground by the back and started to turn back. Xue, Yun Na and the uncle followed him closely. At this moment, the second shock came.
Spreading out from the gravel road, Yun Na groaned and was knocked to the ground.
"Uncle!" Xiao Fen pushed the goblin in his hand to Mullens, then turned back to help the female mage. "Go to the alley over there!" he shouted wildly.
The five people immediately sneaked into an alley next to them. Now they could only pray that this alley would not be a dead end. But not more than sixty feet behind them - the red mist behind the group of players suddenly
A terrifying chain ball flew out. This iron chain ball with long thorns was almost 10 feet in diameter. It roared and hit the ground at an extremely fast speed with a loud bang... The ground that was hit rippled like a wave.
, this wave spread in all directions, knocking several players to the ground.
The players who were directly hit by the hammer were even worse. They lost all feeling before they even had time to scream, and then they were greeted by a not-so-pleasant system prompt.
"Roar!!!" A terrifying roar came from the red mist, and then, a giant monster like a mountain of meat walked out with heavy steps. This was a flesh-colored monster with a spherical body and a pair of
Its eyes flashed with pink light, and sticky saliva dripped from its fanged mouth, emitting a disgusting stench. It had thick, short and powerful limbs, and waved an iron chain in its hand.
One end of the chain is connected to the hammer just now...
But of course, Xiao Fen and others who had already entered the alley had no chance to see this scene.
The alley was also filled with red mist, but fortunately, it was still possible to distinguish the direction. The mage led everyone to the east in a zigzag manner. According to his current thinking, this town is really not for people to stay in... That bastard player didn't
I know what bad luck happened to me, to be involved in such a terrifying task.
Naturally, there were not only the five of them in the alley, but many players also hid in. Some were even completely confused about their status. Occasionally, there were a few female players hiding in the corner and huddled in a ball. Their faces were pale, just looking forward to this mission.
It would be better to end it soon.
Xiao Fen, who was not familiar with the terrain, quickly chose the wrong road. They entered a dead end. This was an alley cut off by a huge building. The alley formed a small open space behind the building. Xiao Fen noticed the open space.
There were several tents set up nearby, and many players gathered here with anxious expressions.
He stopped and saw many injured players lying on the ground. Several priests were running around caring for the injured. When they entered the place, almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them.
"Hey! New here?" A player sitting on the ground looked at the mage's chest, then he showed a kind smile and waved to them. Xiao Fen also noticed that none of these people had the badge on their chests.
.
"Come and sit for a while, it's quite safe here." The player said with a smile.
"Where is this?" Xiao Fen asked curiously.
"They're doing their job, we're hiding here! I've had enough! Those bastards!" The player revealed an angry look and cursed.
The mage raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing that he could probably get useful information from these players. He asked: "We are not players here, what is going on here?"
"Yes, it's terrible!" added the goblin.
The player was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "You don't know? No wonder, in fact, this is how a lot of trouble here comes -"
"You're crazy! Tell me... you don't want to hang out here anymore?" A person next to him suddenly grabbed his hand and yelled at him.
The player threw away the hand of the person next to him and roared: "Damn it! Is there anything I can't say? Everyone knows it...those bastards!"
Xiao Fen looked at these two people and frowned...
