Lin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and took a closer look at the man to make sure that the latter was not a monster in disguise, nor was he an infected person. He was definitely a player.
"But this person's appearance" Lin Ze couldn't help but glance at Qiao Qi beside him, who happened to be looking over as well. Their eyes met and they could see the confusion in each other's eyes.
Obviously Qiao Qi also found that the man's state was quite similar to hers, but the symptoms were more severe and he had obviously lost his mind.
A thoughtful look flashed across Lin Ze's face, but at this moment the man had already rushed forward, leaving him no room to think. Seeing this, he had no choice but to take a step forward to meet him, holding the soul knife in his hand.
Tear the air and chop it out.
The man did not hide his aura and exploded with all his strength. Judging from the aura, he was only at the quasi-hero level. However, facing Lin Ze, who was obviously much stronger than him, he was not afraid. He roared and reached out to grab it with his palm.
It expanded sharply in the middle, and instantly turned into a huge claw of a pitch-black beast. It grabbed the soul knife hard with a clang, and wiped out a stream of dazzling sparks.
Lin Ze did not use Rising Sun, otherwise the man's palm would have been useless with just one blow.
His wrist shook, and the soul knife immediately sent out a powerful force, which directly shook the man's palm away. Immediately, the sword flashed twice, and the man groaned in pain, and blood flashed on his left and right shoulders, and his arms went limp.
He collapsed, but his tendons were severed.
In the past, even if Lin Ze could defeat a man, it would be difficult for him to be so calm and calm. However, during this period, his sword skill level has been greatly improved, and his exquisite sword skills allow him to defeat weak enemies.
It takes almost no effort to defeat the opponent, becoming more and more effortless.
After his arms were crippled, the man still didn't give up. Dots of black spots quickly appeared on his skin, spreading all over his body in the blink of an eye. At the same time, his body quickly swelled up as if it had been inflated. After a while, it turned into a jet-black figure with a black face and fangs.
The terrifying giant roared, opened its mouth wide and bit at Lin Ze with its white teeth exposed, its face twisted and ferocious.
Looking at this scene, Lin Ze secretly shook his head, knowing that the man had completely lost his mind, and neither he nor Qiao Qi happened to have the skills to dispel the negative state. Seeing this, he stopped holding back and slashed out a large golden and red fire wave with his blade. In an instant,
Swallowed the attacking man.
The flames raged, and most of the street was illuminated red by the flames in an instant. When the flames dissipated, only a small half of the charred corpse was left in the place.
Retracting the soul knife, Lin Ze sighed lightly, turned to look at Qiao Qi, and said in a deep voice: "I understand why you have that abnormality."
"Monsters have the ability to control their emotions, right?" Being able to become the captain of a top team of players, Qiao Qi's eyesight and intelligence are naturally good. At this time, she also understood it and showed a solemn expression.
Monsters can affect players' emotions. Lin Ze and Qiao Qi have known this for a long time, but that situation usually only happens to low-level players. After reaching the elite level, the effect of monsters' ability to control emotions is minimal, let alone
Qiao Qi is still a hero-level player, so it stands to reason that she cannot be affected by anger at all.
"I have a guess that the problem may lie with these monsters."
Just when Qiao Qi was puzzled, Lin Ze suddenly said.
"Do you still remember what happened in the Jealousy dungeon? At the beginning, players also fought with monsters and killed a large number of monsters. As the monsters died in large numbers, the sky gradually darkened, and finally the dream came."
Qiao Qi was deeply impressed by the dream in the copy of Jealousy. How could she not remember it? She frowned and nodded immediately after hearing this.
"I think the death of these monsters not only consumes the player's strength, but also has another meaning. In the Envy dungeon, it is to accumulate energy to use the ultimate move, but in this dungeon, it may be to impose a negative state on the player. Every time the player kills one
Monsters will be infected with anger. The more they kill, the more serious the infection will be. In the end, they will lose their mind like the person just now and let anger control their mind."
Having said this, Lin Ze looked steadily at Qiao Qi, "Especially for a type like you whose abilities tend to be violent. I think you are more likely to be affected by anger."
"I understand what you mean. It is indeed possible." Qiao Qi looked solemn and said thoughtfully, "But there is another question. You have killed a lot of monsters. Why is there nothing strange at all?"
"I'm very confused about this too." Lin Ze thought for a while and told Qiao Qi that he was also pulled into a dream in the Envy copy, but was not affected at all. Instead, he killed a dream clone of the Envy sinner.
Hearing that Lin Ze's dream in the Jealousy dungeon was also related to his sister Qiao Xi, Qiao Qi couldn't help but have a complicated expression on her face. She recovered after a moment and said in deep thought: "In other words, the ability of sin descendants to control emotions is invalid for you.
"
"Although I don't know why this happened, judging from the current situation, it should be like this." Lin Ze spread his hands.
"What an enviable ability." Qiao Qi sighed. This ability is perfect for clearing forced dungeons.
Lin Ze shook his head after hearing this: "I really want to understand why I have this ability."
This ability to be unclear and not controlled by oneself is no different from a time bomb to a certain extent. Who knows when other changes will occur? What if it is a bad change?
"In short, until you face the sin descendants, if it is not necessary, Sister Qi, please don't take action again. Leave all monsters to me to deal with!"
Qiao Qi was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled sweetly and said: "Okay, then I will enjoy Ozawa's protection."
Lin Ze nodded, pondered for a few seconds, took out Lin's card from his pocket, and summoned the girl.
"Owner!"
In a flash of light, the girl appeared next to Lin Ze. As soon as she called out, she noticed Qiao Qi's presence. She was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at her steadily.
Qiao Qi smiled and stared back.
Sensing the faint sparks between the two women, Lin Ze coughed lightly, attracting their attention, and then said to Lin: "Lin, release the scout night owl and monitor the surrounding environment. If there are any players or monsters,
Come closer and tell me immediately."
Naturally, the girl would not disobey Lin Ze's order. After glancing at Qiao Qi, she looked away and began to summon the night owl to investigate.
Seeing this, Lin Ze turned to look at Qiao Qi and said: "We must try to avoid fighting with monsters on the way forward, and at the same time prevent other players from approaching."
There is no point reward for hunting monsters in the mandatory dungeon, and it has now been proven that anger can be contagious. Even if Lin Ze is not affected, he decides to avoid monsters as much as possible in the future, and will not fight if he can.
