Ten minutes later, all the skeletons present were shattered. Just as Xu Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the woman say: "It's no longer safe here, we need to leave quickly."
After she said this, she came to the body she had dragged first. She showed a sad expression to the body, and then said: "Brother, I can't take you back, you can only rest here."
After she finished speaking, she took out a small box from her arms. She dug out a little something like grease from the box, and then smeared it on the body. Then she lit the fire stick and set the body on fire directly.
It seems that because of the grease, the body burned very quickly. After a few minutes, the body turned into ashes. The woman bowed to the remaining ashes, and then said to Xu Xiaomin: "Let's go.
It's going to be dark soon. If we can't go back after dark, we will be in danger."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaomin's heart tightened and she quickly followed.
The two of them left the place immediately, and Xu Xiaomin also asked: "Miss, are you from Caizhi Dong?"
The woman nodded and said, "I am from Caizhi Dong. Who are you?"
When Xu Xiaomin heard this answer, he felt relieved. This girl should be the mission NPC, so he said: "I also want to go to Cai Zhi Dong. I am going to join the Quasi-Saint Spider Mother."
The two of them walked for a while, and suddenly the girl stopped and looked warily in one direction. Then a man walked out in that direction.
This man was holding a simple crossbow in his hand, and he was holding the crossbow and looking at them very warily. But Xu Xiaomin looked at it carefully, and then said: "Hi, friend. You are also a player, right?"
The man looked at Xu Xiaomin and laughed and said, "Let me tell you, you don't look like an NPC. What's wrong? You even formed a team with an NPC?"
Xu Xiaomin nodded and said, "I suddenly encountered a wild monster on the road. If it hadn't been for the help of this female NPC, I might have died."
The man nodded and said, "Yes, I also encountered a group of skeletons on the road. If I hadn't been a bit capable, I would have died." As he spoke, he raised the crossbow in his hand.
Seeing this crossbow, Xu Xiaomin immediately asked: "Did you make this crossbow?"
The man nodded proudly and said, "Yes, I made a crossbow out of the rubbing wood I met on the road." The rubbing wood is tough and is a good bow-making material. The bark of the rubbing wood can also be kneaded into rope.
It can also be used as a bow string.
As soon as Xu Xiaomin heard what he said, she knew she had met a master craftsman. He said with some envy: "You don't have any tools in your hands, but you can still cut wood and make a bow."
The man smiled slightly and said: "I picked up a piece of gravel in the forest, which can be made into a stone axe. And I also found cinnabar, so I dug some cinnabar."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaomin said with admiration: "Brother is really strong in action. You relied on those cinnabar to fight off the skeletons, right?"
Cinnabar is a Zhiyang mineral. Applying cinnabar mixed with animal blood on a weapon can cause additional damage to ghosts and skeletons. It is with these things that the craftsman in front of him can kill a group of people with a simple crossbow.
Skeleton.
Although players do not have equipment or cultivation now, they can still make a lot of things based on their previous game knowledge.
So Xu Xiaomin said: "Brother, this NPC belongs to Cai Zhi Dong. We can go to Cai Zhi Dong by following her. Why don't we form a team together?"
The craftsman nodded, and then said: "Okay, let's do it like this. However, the team system is not open now. It is estimated that you have to join a camp before it can be opened. We should be careful."
There is no team system, so you can attack each other. This is not because you are afraid of teammates shooting behind the scenes, but because you are afraid of hurting the other party. Swords, bows and arrows are not very discerning.
The two players chatted briefly for a while, then decided to act together, and then followed the girl from Cai Zhi Dong and headed towards Cai Zhi Dong.
The three of them moved forward for a while, and then they heard shouts. They followed the sound and found that two players were being attacked by a group of skeletons. The two players were holding wooden sticks and covering each other back to back. When they saw Xu Xiaomin and the others arriving,
It’s also a bright spot.
"Friends over there, can you save us?"
Xu Xiaomin and the craftsman looked at each other and had nothing to say, so they immediately joined the battle.
I saw the craftsman holding a crossbow and shooting repeatedly. His crossbow arrows were all coated with cinnabar. When the cinnabar hit the skeleton, it would always explode into a ball of fire.
The top of the wooden stick in Xu Xiaomin's hand was also smeared with cinnabar, turning it into a simple cinnabar stick. He picked up the weapon and hit the skeleton. It only took two or three sticks to kill a skeleton. Without the blessing of cinnabar, he could
It would take at least seven or eight sticks to knock the skeleton apart.
The girl from Cai Zhi Dong did not take action at this time, but just looked at the group of them. Everyone also understood that it was normal for NPCs not to help fight monsters.
There is strength in numbers, and if the four of them cooperate with each other, they will soon smash these skeletons into pieces.
As a result, the number of people in the team +2.
The craftsman boss shared some cinnabar with them to 'enchant' their weapons. Although the weapons are crude now, at least their lethality has increased.
After a brief rest, everyone continued on the road (mission). Then not long after, we met another player who was alone.
More than 10 million players are scattered in an area of 10,000 square kilometers. In rough calculation, it is one thousand people per square kilometer. It is equivalent to a thousand people in an area one kilometer long and wide. In fact, the population density is very dense.
.And the players have the same goal, which is to move towards Cai Zhi Dong. So it is normal to meet players on the road.
Ever since, the number of people changed from 1 to 2, then from 2 to 4, and from 4 to 8. By the afternoon, there were twenty or thirty people in the team. With so many people, those little skeleton monsters would not
It's worth being afraid, and everyone feels a lot more relaxed.
The main thing about the player group is that one person is more powerful than others.
However, there is another problem with the large number of people, that is, the team's traveling speed is greatly slowed down. When there are more people, there are more troubles, and the target becomes larger, plus killing monsters and adding people from time to time, it has not yet reached Caizhi Dong.
The sky has darkened now.
As the sky darkened, the Caizhi Dong woman who led the way became a little anxious. She said, "When it gets dark, the ghosts will come out of the shadows. We were not afraid before. After all, we did not conflict with each other, but after the spider mother became a saint,
, the ghost king keeps intruding on our Cai Zhi Dong. This ghost kills everyone on sight, so everyone should be careful."
When the NPC explained the "mission background", everyone just listened casually. Unless there is a special plot to focus on the party, few people care about this kind of thing. Most players only care about the rewards and promotions after the mission is over.
Seeing that no one was in a hurry, the girl from Caizhi Dong was a little anxious. She was mainly reluctant to part with so many men... Caizhi Dong women had more women than men, so it would be good to take these men back.
Just when the girl was anxious, there was a rustling sound in the mountain forest, and the originally noisy mountain forest suddenly became quiet. This kind of quietness was like the prelude to the attack of ghosts in a horror movie, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Laman.
All the players also felt an inexplicable tension at this time. This is the reaction aroused by normal people when encountering ghosts. Humans are Yang energy creatures, and ghosts are composed of Yin energy. When Yin and Yang collide, there will always be some reaction.
Ghostly figures appeared in the dense forest, and groups of will-o'-the-wisps also appeared out of thin air, illuminating the surrounding forest even more darkly and terrifyingly.
"Here we come!" the Caizhi Dong girl called out, and immediately took out a spiritual tablet from her arms, then held it in her hand and murmured: "Blessed by our ancestors, all evil will not invade."
The token in her hand gave off a faint ray of light, which illuminated three feet of her body, forming a barrier. People in this barrier only felt a gust of cold wind blowing by, followed by a slight chill.
Those who were not protected by this light were as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their whole bodies were so cold that their teeth chattered and their bodies trembled! Some players even fell down immediately and turned into stars.
"Damn it! It's a Yin Qi attack! Everyone activates their qi and blood and activates body protection..." Before he finished speaking, the speaker cursed: "Damn it, you have forgotten that you have no cultivation!"
As the man spoke, he hurriedly took out a plant tuber from his arms and bit it. This was Yang Jiang. Yang means that this thing is full of Yang energy, and ginger can dispel evil winds and get rid of the cold caused by Yin energy.
After taking this sip of Yang Jiang, he felt a little better, and there was a slight warmth in the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet.
This Yang Jiang was collected by him. In the game, he is also a big collector.
Eating Yang Jiang could only cure the symptoms, so he immediately rushed towards the NPC's protective circle.
Yang Jiang bought him a little time, and he squeezed in next to the NPC. Before he could relax, he found that they were surrounded by countless ghosts.
Seeing this scene, the girl from Cai Zhi Dong looked a little bitter. She should have left these men behind and ran away alone. But she couldn't bear it...
"Everyone, what can I do?" The players were not afraid of death, they were just afraid that the task would not be completed, so they started to discuss it.
But what can they do? They have only been in the new world for a few hours. They have no cultivation level, no equipment, and they are not even familiar with the place. If they were given a day or two, the situation would definitely be different!
"If it doesn't work, then we'll fight! The worst we can do is wait for a day or two for resurrection!" Someone gritted his teeth and said.
If they have not completed the task and are not bound to the camp, their resurrection time is very long and takes a day or two in the real world. This has been tried by some people. For these players, being behind for a day or two is quite unbearable and will lead to disengagement.
Of the mainstream teams.
"I have some cinnabar, mixed with blood, and it can deal with a few ghosts." The craftsman suddenly said.
"I have a few roots of yang ginger. If you eat them, you can resist the yin energy."
"I picked up a few pieces of Shoushan copper mine on the road. It's too late to make anything, but Shoushan copper can destroy evil spirits, so it should be of some use."
"The stick in my hand is a peach wood stick..."
"I have a piece of black suede..."
"I have two liang of Kun blood..."
Like garbage men, the players began to take inventory of the supplies in their hands. These supplies, combined with the NPC, should allow three or five people to escape from the encirclement of this ghost. But how should these three or five people choose?
"Let's roll. The people with the highest points will survive!" someone said.
Everyone was silent for a moment, this was also the best way. So everyone quickly rolled the points. Xu Xiaomin felt relieved when he saw that he had 99 points.
He took a look and saw that the craftsman next to him had only rolled 23 points. He looked a little depressed, so he handed the crossbow in his hand to Xu Xiaomin and said: "After we met, this crossbow will be given to you."
Xu Xiaomin quickly took it and said: "Thank you, brother. Let's add a friend. When you are resurrected, we will level up together." The craftsman nodded and added each other as friends to chat with him.
The function of adding friends is not a game function, but is built into the game's fog chat system. The game is very hardcore, and most of the time sending messages requires flying swords and letters.
Seeing that a person with the nickname "Love Eating Lollipops" was successfully added as a friend, Xu Xiaomin couldn't help but said: "Brother, your name is too cute."
The eldest brother blushed slightly, and then said: "My daughter named me this. She likes to eat lollipops, but my wife never gives them to her."
This moment is a bit like the last words between comrades-in-arms. Friendship between gamers is sometimes established so simply.
In the end, only five survivors were selected, and most of the supplies were handed over to them. With these items and the protection of the NPC, they should be able to get through this level.
The other players cheered each other up, then smiled and rushed towards the ghosts. Even if they had to die, they should die decently!
The girl from Caizhi Dong was stunned when she saw this scene, and then the remaining five players, including Xu Xiaomin, said to her: "Girl, time waits for no one, let's escape."
There were only five people in front of me, so the difficulty was greatly reduced. The girl from Cai Zhi Dong nodded and said, "Follow me!"
Under the protection of the spiritual light of their ancestors, the six people continued to rush towards Caizhi Dong. The ghosts quickly eliminated the rushing players and continued to rush towards the six of them.
The players took a bite of Yang Ginger to restore some Yang Qi, and then took cinnabar and Shoushan Copper Ore and threw them at the ghosts. Although these things were simple, they were professional counterparts in dealing with these ghosts.
Of course, their biggest reliance is the protection of this NPC.
In the dark mountain forest, everyone ran wildly. While some people were running wildly, they fell into the cliff like a field. Some people were gradually falling behind due to lack of physical strength while running wildly.
In the end, there were only three people following the NPC. One of them was Xu Xiaomin. At this moment, Xu Xiaomin was running out of breath, and his lungs were like old bellows, breathing heavily. At this moment, he remembered that year
He participated in the 5,000-meter long-distance race when he was in college. It was the only sports event he participated in for his first love.
In the end, he finished fifth and did not get the ranking, but he got the beauty.
‘Have you ever risked your life for someone?’ A sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Fuck! Damn it!" Xu Xiaomin couldn't help but uttered a curse word!
