Fifteen minutes after the script started, the four people on the front line of hell were already divided into three groups.
Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling, who had strong reconnaissance expertise, went their separate ways and carried out searches along the V-shaped route while ensuring their own concealment. Ruoyu and Huajian, on the other hand, went directly in the open area;
Their combination... can deal with long-range sneak attacks or traps and ambush with ease, so there is no need to hide.
In short, the tactical thinking of these four people is... to search separately and discover the enemy as soon as possible, or be discovered by the enemy. As soon as the two sides come into contact, use their own strength to eliminate the other party.
"Well... So you guys are not going to touch the plot anymore..." Feng Bujue, who was switching perspectives back and forth behind his teammates, said, "Although I don't think the other party is stronger than you, and
The probability of item rewards in this mode is not high, but it is not good to ignore the plot... In later games, borrowing the power of NPCs in the script will undoubtedly become the key to victory or defeat. The sooner you develop it,
The better you get used to it..."
Even if he sighed long and short there, his teammates couldn't hear him. These words still had to wait until the fight was over before conveying them.
"Sigh... well..." Brother Jue said immediately, "It seems that my role as substitute is not in vain. There is still more than half a month until the game. The problems seen in them... should be corrected in time."
…………
Another ∮,w□, the four members of the Corn Fruit Team also adopted the strategy of dividing their forces.
However, their strategy is much simpler... one person, [Liu Sanfeng], will explore the road ahead and conduct reconnaissance, while the other three will keep a distance from each other and slowly advance 200 meters behind Liu Sanfeng.
They also gave up their intention to explore the plot and wanted to fight the enemy as soon as possible.
However, there is a problem...
How do they meet when both teams ignore the plot?
You must know that the scope of this "White Kingdom" is very vast. It is not difficult to see the overall size of the country from the hugeness of the building ruins. It is quite difficult for just eight people to meet in such a large area.
Searching aimlessly without any clues will naturally be inefficient.
Fortunately... although the players did not touch the plot, the plot will come to them on its own...
…………
"Eh? That's..." After dozens of minutes of searching, a figure appeared in Xiao Tan's sight.
At this time, Brother Jue's perspective also happened to move behind him, and he saw the shadow in the distance at the same time.
It was a stooped man wearing a black robe. His face was very old. His semi-bald forehead and face were covered with wrinkles, which could be clearly seen from a distance.
"It's an NPC, right..." Xiaotan frowned, stared at the other person, and murmured.
"Hmph... so naive." Feng Bujue heard this and immediately snorted, "Maybe there is someone in the enemy team who has the ability to disguise..."
Unfortunately, his opinions could not reach Xiaotan's ears.
After Xiao Tan looked around, he felt that there was no one else around, so he stepped forward to make contact with him.
As he approached the old man in black robe, the other party also noticed him, but the old man did not do anything unusual. He just stared at Xiaotan coldly, waiting for him to approach.
"Uh... Hello, old man?" Xiao Tan walked up to the old man and tried to say hello to him.
"Do you have any bread?" The old man spoke quickly and in a strong voice.
"Bread?" Faced with the sudden question raised by the other party, Xiao Tan was a little at a loss.
"It looks like he is really an NPC..." Feng Bujue thought, "This can be considered as triggering an event. If you give him bread... you should be able to get some kind of benefit or advance the plot."
"Well... I'm sorry. I don't have any bread with me." Xiaotan thought for two seconds and answered truthfully.
"Tch...why are you replying so honestly?" Feng Bujue stood by and worried for him, "Can't you first ask, 'If I give you bread, what benefits can you give me?'"
"Please find some bread for me." After hearing Xiaotan's answer, the old man continued expressionlessly, "If you give me some bread, I will repay you."
"Hurry up and ask him how to repay me." Feng Bujue's first reaction was, "Are you going to give me something or information?"
"Oh...Okay, then I'll go look for it." Xiaotan's first reaction was, "Don't wander around. I'll find it and bring it to you soon."
"You are his grandson!" Feng Bujue complained fiercely.
"I won't leave until I get bread." The old man replied calmly.
"Yeah." Xiao Tan responded, turned and left.
"Hey, hey... why don't you ask him 'where is the bread'?" Feng Bujue said, "You picked up an errand here and left without any prompts or information! You kid is alone.
This is how good you are at solving puzzles during action!”
"Oh! By the way." At this time, Xiao Tan suddenly stopped and turned to the old man and said, "I almost forgot to ask you..."
"Huh...fortunately, it seems that your boy is not hopeless." Brother Jue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiaotan had remembered.
"...Do you have any requirements for the type of bread?" Xiaotan asked seriously, "For example...do you want regular bread? Or whole wheat bread? Should it be croissant? Or stick-style?"
"
"What the hell are you planning to do? Find a wheat field to harvest some wheat and cook it freshly for him!" Feng Bujue yelled, "What's the point of asking such nonsense!"
It's useless no matter how much he yells, Xiao Tan can't hear him...
"As long as it's bread." The old man's reaction was very calm. After he finished his answer, he paused for half a second and then continued, "Go over there and have a look..." As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed.
He pointed out a direction and said, "I think there will be one there."
"Ah?" Xiaotan looked at the direction the other person was pointing, "Oh... okay, then wait for me." After that, he quickly set off.
"God..." If Feng Bujue had a body, he would definitely be holding his forehead and shaking his head at this moment, "Fortunately, this NPC took the initiative to give me a hint, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find this kid."
…………
At the same time, there was another ruin.
Liu Sanfeng, the pathfinder of the Corn Fruit Team, also saw an old man in black robes. The image of this NPC was exactly the same as the one that appeared in front of Xiao Tan. He was also hunched over and standing in a daze.
After seeing this, Liu Sanfeng waited cautiously for a moment. After confirming that there were no other people around, his teammates also caught up.
So, the four of them came to this NPC together.
"Old man, are you okay?" Liu Sanfeng stepped forward and asked tentatively.
"Do you have any corn?" The old man in black robe asked for something different from the one Xiao Tan met.
"Nah?" Liu Sanfeng's expression changed when he heard this. He immediately jumped back and shouted, "Be careful of fraud!"
When his teammates shouted like this, their nerves became tense. The four of them stood up in a back-to-back battle formation and became alert.
Some people may wonder why Liu Sanfeng thinks it is "fraudulent"? His thinking process is like this: The other party mentioned "corn" inexplicably... Our team name is "Corn Fruit"... The other party knows our team name
...The npc should not know our team name...the opponent is a member of the enemy team in disguise or is a summoned object...this is a trap.
It's probably just these few steps...
"Hmph! You look so good at pretending!" Liu Sanfeng said confidently to the old man, "You actually mentioned 'corn' on your own initiative. Do you want to mock us for falling into the trap?"
The old man looked at him indifferently, and replied nonchalantly: "Please find some corn for me. If you give me corn..."
"drink!"
Before the old man finished speaking, Liu Sanfeng gave a soft drink and used a skill on him.
[Name: Sea King Gun Break]
[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill. Permanent Mastery]
[Skill Category: Spirituality]
[Effect: Use a gun-like shock wave to crush the opponent. 】
[Note: The attack magic that borrows the power of Sea King Delphi can be used without water. 】
"Huh?" The expression on the black old man's face changed slightly at the moment when the magic energy began to pulse.
At that moment, the old man raised his hand, spread his fingers slightly, and a black barrier appeared in front of him.
Buzzing buzzing...
Liu Sanfeng's skill hit this barrier. It was like snow falling into the flames, dispersing in an instant.
"Is this guy... really an enemy?" Brother Weiwu on the side said immediately when he saw this.
I don’t know how he came to this conclusion... Anyway, he believed it himself. So... he stepped forward and walked around behind the old man, preparing to form a pincer attack with his teammates.
However...
The next second, the old man's figure suddenly moved, turning into a black light and shooting straight into the sky. His speed was so fast that the four members of the Corn Fruit Team could not react in time.
When they came to their senses and looked up one after another, they saw... a huge crow appeared in the sky. After flapping its wings a few times, it flew away quickly.
"Uh..." At this time, Liu Sanfeng's face became unsightly, "Brothers, I seem to have made a mistake..."
"Ah... I can see it..." Elementary School Dog said in hindsight, "Although I was a little skeptical just now, I didn't express an opinion when I saw how sure you were."
"This..." Brother Lonely looked at the retreating crow shadow and thought, "...could it be one of the 'three birds' mentioned in the introduction to the script?"
"I'll go!" Brother Weiwu continued, "Then wouldn't we offend the NPC? Will there be any disadvantages?"
"I think..." Liu Sanfeng continued, "It shouldn't be a big deal." He thought for a few seconds and analyzed, "The birdman just now is probably a plot NPC, and talking to him will trigger some kind of flag; although
We didn't receive a mission or anything from him, but he didn't fight back because of our attack, he just ran away. So... at most we just lost a side mission." He shrugged his shoulders and shook it off.
He shook his long hair and said, "We didn't plan to do any branch plot anyway."
Although there is a suspicion of making excuses for his wrong judgment, Liu Sanfeng's analysis is really correct... If they completely ignore the plot, there is no harm in running away this NPC.
"Okay, let's continue." The elementary school dog thought for a few seconds and said to Liu Sanfeng, "But it's better to be more careful next time." He reminded, "Wasting skills on NPCs is a loss to some extent."
"Understood." Liu Sanfeng replied, "It's my fault this time... It's a coincidence that this npc mentioned 'corn' when he opened his mouth. It happens to be related to our team name..." He shook his head, with a look on his face.
There was no regret, but he said a little narcissistically, "Oh...it's just that my thinking is too fast and I am too sensitive to such words..."
If Feng Bujue were here, heard what the other party said, and saw the other party's expression when he said this, he would definitely say: "With your IQ and mentality, go to the South Park dimension and become the United States."
The president is probably fine."
…………
Let’s break this into two parts, let’s look at Xiaotan again.
Maybe Xiaotan is not as smooth and shrewd as Brother Jue when dealing with NPCs, but he has a good character...
He followed the direction pointed by the old man. Within a few minutes, he found the plot item.
In other words... he tripped over a plot item.
Of course, you don’t have to worry about Xiaotan falling into a dog’s face and chewing on the mud, losing survival points or something like that.
After he was tripped, he just used one hand to support himself and rotated his body to remove most of the downward momentum; in less than two seconds, he turned over and stood up again, basically unscathed.
"Hey~ This kind of bread... this is the first time I've seen it." After Xiaotan stood still, he looked back at the thing that "tripped" him, feeling helpless to complain.
No matter how you look at it, it is "a hand"...a hand made of bread that suddenly stretched out from the ground.
"This thing can't be a living thing..." Feng Bujue, who was watching from the perspective of a spectator, saw it more clearly. A few seconds ago, he clearly saw the hand emerging from the ground and quickly grabbed it.
A little sigh on the ankle.
"Hmm..." Xiaotan looked at the baker for a few seconds, made up his mind, and walked over.
unexpectedly……
chug chug chug
In an instant, the earth collapsed and the mud cracked, and strange shadows suddenly appeared.
This time, it wasn't just a hand...but a whole "bread man" jumped out of the ground.
Its body has different colors, but it is generally tawny; its trunk is a rectangular piece of toast, its limbs are French baguettes, its neck is two stacked donuts, and its face is a coconut bag smeared with butter.
The rest of the body is also made up of various kinds of bread. For example, the palm of the left hand is made of English broccoli, and the fingers are five small croissants; the right hand is made of honey bean Mexican bread, and the fingers are cheese sticks.
;Knees are pineapple buns, elbows are lasagna buns, etc...
"There are actually monsters that look so delicious in this game..." When he saw this enemy, many things flashed through Feng Bujue's mind...
Human soup, sour maggot sandwiches, Walker's corpse, the eyeballs of a crazy dragon's laughter... Ever since he started playing this game, he has eaten too many things that should not appear on the human diet.
Today, he finally saw a thing that felt good no matter where he swallowed it, but it was not him who stood in front of this monster...
This feeling... is like a prostitute who has been hanging out in a low-class brothel all year round and has patronized all the vulgar girls and dinosaur monsters there. Suddenly one day he sees a beautiful woman. The problem is... he didn't bring any money that day.
And this beauty has already entered someone else's room.
"Niang Xipi's..." No one can hear Brother Jue in spectator mode, so he can be rude at will, "Why can't I encounter such a good thing..."
"Eh?" On the other side, Xiaotan was slightly startled after seeing the enemy's full view.
In the air... the fragrance that was wafting in the wind, mixed with wheat, honey, butter and other fragrances, made him swallow his saliva.
"Pan!" After the bread man jumped out of the ground, he immediately stared at a pair of buttery eyes and shouted to Xiao Tan, "pan! pan!" While shouting, he also raised his hands and showed his teeth and claws, obviously wanting to fight.
.
"Hmm... It seems that I can only pronounce the syllable pan..." Feng Bujue muttered, "Okay... no matter what... it's better than repeatedly calling an_pan (bean paste bun)..."
"It looks like he wants to attack me..." Xiao Tan looked at the bread man and said to himself, "But he doesn't look very strong. After all, it's just bread..." He was still a soft-hearted person.
"Just cut off a random piece from it, and then take it to grandpa."
"pan!"
As soon as Xiao Tan made up his mind, the bread man took a big step and came suddenly.
Even though it is bread, it is really fast. Its swift figure tears apart the air, releasing layers of wheat flour crumbs, leaving bursts of fragrant fragrance...
"I'm sorry! Just let me cut it!" Faced with the monster's attack, Xiao Tan was not afraid at all. He picked up the spur, retreated instead of advancing, and slashed at the enemy's right arm with a sword.
.
The crispy skin is broken by the knife blade.
呲呲呲……
Soft, flexible, and dense wheat fibers are quickly split.
Huh, uh, uh...
The Bread Man's severed right arm was spinning in the air.
After a round of confrontation, Xiao Tan quickly bounced up and caught the piece of bread cut from the opponent's body.
"Pan! pan" After the bread man broke his arm, he screamed heartbreakingly, covered the broken part of his arm, and knelt down, "pan~pan~"
"Uh..." Seeing this scene, Xiaotan couldn't help but feel sympathy, "It's so pitiful..." He looked down at the bread in his hand again, hesitated for a few seconds, and gritted his teeth and said, "But this
I've cut them all off..." As he said that, he suddenly turned his head and ran in the direction of the old man in black robe, "I'm sorry!"
Brother Jue, who had been looking at Xiaotan from behind, said at this time: "You actually apologized... Damn, you are only eight years old today... No, you feel soft after seeing an anthropomorphic food... Not only
She is eight years old and a girl."
"pan...pan..."
Just when Brother Jue was complaining, the bread man with his broken arm showed unusual changes...
