Chicai also came over to see it. He originally thought it was someone else who was targeting the middle-aged man, but he didn't expect that it was him standing outside the wooden house. It didn't look like he was out to wake up, and he walked around the prop wooden house.
Then he walked towards the outside of the village.
"Where is he going?" Chicai said in a low voice, "Why don't you go out with me and have a look?"
Before Xu Huo could answer, the green-haired female player and the man with missing ears had already come out on the other side, and Paopao Bean and the others were not behind either.
Just as everyone was following them tacitly, a strange swallowing sound suddenly came from the forest on the other side, as if the sound of food passing through the throat was amplified when eating. It was especially obvious in the dark, but the players knew it well.
Ming, there are no people or other animals there.
Is it voice imitation?
It is not difficult for many species in nature to imitate various sounds. The hidden friend may use this hand to attract living people. If it is really it, it is entirely possible to make swallowing sounds.
Everyone exchanged glances. The two green-haired female players continued to follow the middle-aged man, and the three Paopao Dou headed towards the swallowing sound. The three people from Xu Huo who came out later followed behind the green-haired female player.
The middle-aged man did not go out of Xu Huo's perception range. Similarly, the place where the sound came from was only about two hundred meters away from him. It was not something strange, but a mutant plant active at night eating. The sound was small.
The movement of the entire animal passing through the rhizome.
As for the middle-aged man, his state was much weirder. He was not normal when he came back during the day. After walking into the forest, he became even weirder. After walking for a while, he suddenly stood there and muttered something.
He was talking, but it was not a normal conversation, but like an endorsement. The content was obscure and could barely be judged to be related to religion.
The middle-aged man's eyes were a little hollow when he muttered words, staring straight at a certain place in front of him. There was no emotion at all, but his body was trembling slightly.
"Controlled?" The male player with missing ears had already tested the surrounding environment with a detector. Except for Xu Huo and the other two people behind him, there was no one in front, not even the strange plants as expected.
"Would you like to go over and wake him up?"
Most of the green-haired female player was hiding behind the tree, watching this scene with a cold expression, "What are you asking him to do? It's just a good time to see what the hidden friend is."
The five people in front and behind just watched the middle-aged man reciting his own words for several minutes, until the three Paopao Beans on the other side also turned over.
Seeing that the atmosphere changed from weird to a bit awkward, the middle-aged man who was standing there suddenly ran away and rushed into the fog very quickly!
"Chase!"
The players followed closely, but not long after following, the middle-aged man disappeared from their eyes using a space teleportation prop. The direction of the space teleportation was uncertain, but the distance was at least beyond their detection range - they were lost.
.
Xu Huo didn't find anyone either. The middle-aged man's first teleportation was still within his range of perception, but the other party immediately teleported for the second time, and this time there was no trace at all.
"What are you doing?" Master Yin-Yang said, "He's not just pretending to be a ghost to fool us, is he?"
Whether it's just a trick or there's a real problem, what can we do now that the person is gone?
There was no other way, so everyone had to turn back. When they returned to Zhongmu Village, the number of players in the game was reduced to 33.
"It's best to die!" Master Yin Yang sneered.
"Everyone, the question now is not whether he is dead or not," Chicai called to everyone, "but the question of more than thirty people in the dungeon. We only saw about ten people before and after. There is no one in Shangmu Village. If the remaining people are together,
We have become allies, hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities, and our situation is not good."
The dungeon is said to allow players to play the role of hidden friends, but until now, it is not their turn to play. During the day, they will be active in the forest, becoming the target of others.
"Will they be in Xiamu Village?" said the man with eyebrows: "Judging from the situation in Zhongmu Village, the friends who are hiding have not taken away the locals for a long time, or the friends who are hiding are more likely to select dungeon players than outsiders.
Acting as a friend, or a hidden friend, to attack the locals requires certain conditions, and the isolated villages actually cut off these conditions unknowingly."
Chicai also guessed before that most of the friends who hide are friends who are older, so this may be related to their experience. The more memories in life, the more emotions that are difficult to let go. On the contrary, children and young people
You won’t think so much. The people who live here have figured out some ways over the long years, so there are mostly old people in Shangmu Village, and there are mostly young people in Zhongmu Village.
"I have inquired about the situation in Xiamu Village," the green-haired female player said, "It is similar to Zhongmu Village. From time to time, older people move to Shangmu Village."
"However, the frequency of elderly people missing here is not high. Most of them are dungeon players who have replaced their friends."
"So the experiences we encounter with friends who are hiding are different from those encountered by locals."
"Another thing, don't you find it strange?" Pao Dou said: "The villagers are too trusting of the players. I don't believe that no players have ever taken advantage of the locals, unless..."
Unless the player realizes it soon after starting the instance, he cannot kill the locals.
Although the dungeon vaguely mentions this, judging from the number of deaths in the past few days, it is obvious that not all players will abide by it, so there are bound to be people who test the rules with locals. Why doesn't this happen more often? Or
Why hasn't it spread...
"Probably someone tried it, but suffered disaster immediately." The man with eyebrows crossed his arms and said: "The local villagers don't know whether the player disappeared or left on his own. Other players can see clearly."
"Has anyone here killed anyone after entering the dungeon?"
Even if there is, no one will admit it, but Pao Dou suspects the middle-aged man and the missing Yang Tian. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of them being the actors is slim.
"Hey!" A rough voice came from behind them.
Everyone was startled, holding all kinds of props in their hands. Unexpectedly, a figure in the fog came out immediately. It was a big man nearly two meters tall, and he was carrying someone on his shoulders.
It turned out to be Yang Tian who disappeared before.
The man is not dead yet, his mouth and fingernails are black and blue, and he is seriously poisoned.
The big man threw Yang Tian on the ground, clapped his hands and said to the others: "This young man is actually sleeping in the forest. If I were late, he would definitely be eaten by carnivorous plants!"
Chicai gave Yang Tian an injection of antidote, "My breathing has calmed down, and I will wake up soon."
The big man's palm as big as a cattail leaf covered his shoulders, "You pretty boy, you look so treacherous, but I didn't expect you have a little bit of humanity!"
