The moment the light screen retracted into the bracelet, Cheng Qing suddenly spotted a black shadow in the background corner of the photo. At first glance, it looked like a ghost movie.
She frowned slightly and looked at the two animals without any trace. Seeing that they stared at the bracelets without any strange reaction, she realized that there might be another existence stronger than the animals.
Cheng Qing didn't dare to be careless, so he quickly stuffed a large piece of sweet potato into his mouth to prevent his mental exhaustion from declining, and then walked over pretending as if nothing had happened.
She hoped in her heart that it was a false alarm, but it was obviously not possible.
As he got closer, the shadow slowly retreated.
When Cheng Qing realized this, he immediately stopped and turned around to leave.
Since the other party didn't want her to get close, there was no need for her to create complications.
However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around.
The shadow actually followed her, but when she stood still, the other party also stopped.
The tiger and the squirrel finally realized something was wrong, but they seemed to be unable to see the shadow at all. They wandered around and let out a low, questioning roar.
Cheng Qing watched helplessly as these two passed by the shadows, but he didn't notice them at all, and he immediately got goosebumps.
Being able to travel through time has refreshed her outlook on life, and the appearance of the corpse monster on the first night of the game world also shows that this place may have metaphysics in addition to science.
It's not that Cheng Qing is scaring herself, her existence is a good example.
As if the screen was flashing in his mind, several clips from horror movies flashed across his mind. He softly whispered, Cheng Qing shook his head to stop himself from thinking, and tentatively asked, "Monster? God?"
The shadow that had been standing not far away suddenly moved, and the other party made a strange sound, which sounded like an ancient tape that had jammed.
Cheng Qing felt goosebumps pop up on her skin after hearing this. She couldn't help but hugged the tiger's neck, not to seek a sense of security, but because she was really in danger so that she could escape on the tiger.
Physical beasts are easy to deal with, but how to deal with disembodied ghosts?
The two animals finally found out where the root knot was, and their fur became furious. One kept roaring and made attack movements, while the other looked around and hesitated.
But none of them found the correct location, because the sound spread in the cave and echoed in all directions.
Suddenly, the lag disappeared, replaced by a clear and familiar voice asking, "Monster? Fairy?"
Cheng Qing's throat immediately became dry.
She had suspected that it was the NPC mentioned by the game system, but the prompt also clearly stated that some little guys were naughty and some old men were full of lies.
That doesn't mean that no matter what personality the NPC is, it is all anthropomorphic, and it does not mean that it is a shadow that can 100% imitate other people's language and intonation.
The tiger and squirrel were confused again and cast suspicious eyes on Cheng Qing. They couldn't tell whether the sound was from her.
Cheng Qing had to be more cautious, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about what good things were in the so-called god-level treasure chest, and why one level was connected to the next, endlessly!
Without knowing whether the other party was a human or a ghost, a friend or an enemy, she could only test it a little bit, and said again in a pinched voice, "Are you an NPC?"
"Are you... an NPC?" The first two words were exactly the same as what Cheng Qing said with a pinched throat, but the following words returned to her usual speaking tone. This proved that her little thoughts were of no use to the other party.
!
Cheng Qing shut up immediately. It was recording and imitating her voice. No matter what, this feeling was not good.
What if its purpose was to replace her, or to deceive her companions?
Cheng Qing decisively slapped the tiger, jumped on its back and ran away, with the squirrel chasing after him.
What she didn't see was that the shadow tilted its head. The shadow twisted and gradually transformed into a human form, while the head became bigger and bigger...
If he saw it, Cheng Qing would lose control and shout out the words "haunted".
As the successor of socialism, under the protection of the country, she fully believes in the iron rule that animals cannot become sperm after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but she is now no longer within the protection of the motherland!
嘤嘤嘤, mother of the country, she wants to go home!
Cheng Qing, who thought she was fearless, discovered for the first time that she was not a staunch materialist.
She wants to go back and bear the eight honors and eight shames. She wants to go back and study hard and make progress every day... ugh!
After everyone, the tiger and the mouse were gone, the twisted head shrank back to its normal size as if it had deflated.
Although this shadow has human limbs and body, it has the head of an animal, like a tiger, with extremely prominent fangs, more like a saber-toothed tiger, but its eyes are very gentle, without any wildness of animals.
He twisted his neck, pinched his throat with his arm, and said to himself: "I seemed to have seen a little guy just now, but my debugging skills have disappeared! That mission... forget it, there is no fate!"
This NPC must have Buddhist attributes in his character. He walked slowly like an old man with his hands behind his back.
Cheng Qing didn't know that the price of his random thoughts and scaring himself was to pass by one of the most contactable NPCs...
Zhao Anna and Meng Chun, who were tied together, had already contacted the NPC, but obviously, this NPC with a leopard head and an arrogant look was not so easy to get along with. He raised two shovels as big as thumbs and pointed at the two of them.
Said: "I want a big bag of loess, a big bag of white soil, and a big bag of red soil! They cannot be packed together, they cannot be wet, and there must be no insects or grass."
Meng Chun's mind was filled with questions, "Why should I dig soil for you?"
Zhao Anna was more cautious, "What's the reward for digging in the soil?"
"You greedy players invade other people's territory and want to get benefits. I want to peach!"
As he said that, he angrily threw two shovels at their faces, and immediately pulled out two red marks.
Hearing the soft sound of the shovel hitting the ground, Meng Chun and Zhao Anna were stunned on the spot. They didn't even have time to hide...
Looking at the leopard's head, the expression became more and more dissatisfied. The head was gradually growing in size, and the protruding fangs were terrifying.
Zhao Anna quickly picked up the two shovels and said in a respectful tone: "We are going to dig. Can you please guide us in the right direction?"
Leopard Tou then lowered his eyes with some satisfaction, looked at Zhao Anna, and said impatiently: "The yellow soil is in the water, the white soil is in the flames, and the red soil is covered with corpses!"
Meng Chun almost exploded on the spot.
Isn’t this embarrassing?!
Fortunately, she suppressed her blush and endured the smell of fragrance. She was afraid that the leopard's head would explode in anger, after all, his head had grown half as big as before.
People in the interstellar era don't have souls and ghosts at all, so they took over the NPC's mission earlier than Cheng Qing.
Meng Chun held the shovel as long as her thumb and secretly complained to Zhao Anna with a grimace: "I thought the maze was bad enough, but he asked me to solve the puzzle? I can only add, subtract, multiply and divide more than 2 digits."
Starting to have a headache, solving puzzles? Ha!”
Zhao Anna didn't know much about her friend's numerical abilities and road-crazy attributes. She was also a liberal arts student herself. She sighed, "I need a Cheng Qing."
"I need two!"
The two of them looked at each other, facing the scorching gaze of the leopard head behind them, and greeted the ignorant bear and the lazily yawning golden monkey to start looking for dirt before looking for the god-level treasure chest.
