I feel a little tired after standing for a long time.
The paddy fields in Gu Village were low-lying, so Zhou Zhou chose a higher place. From this perspective, he could clearly see the situation of the players.
The sun was very hot, and she was covered in sweat. After talking to Zhou Shan, the black cloak was pulled off her body because she was too hot. At this moment, wearing the loose dress on her body felt rare and relaxing.
With a dazed look on her face, she sat on a wooden bench found by a villager, lowered her head and hugged her knees, but she was actually thinking about how to reveal the clues in her dream.
Her black hair was as beautiful as crow-black silk, and her hands were as white as fine snow, unrivaled in beauty.
Her shining eyes wandered around, inadvertently falling on the man with a cold face not far away.
Chu Mingxiu felt the girl's gentle gaze with a hint of contemplation. He raised his eyes suddenly, and his clear and sharp gaze pierced her with undisguised coldness. Zhou Zhou's heart skipped a beat and he quickly lowered his head.
This player probably hates himself.
Her little face, which was covered in a black cloak, turned red, and she thought softly in her heart.
Then just keep hating it.
She won't get close to him.
Chu Mingxiu could only see the girl lowering her head silently, as if she was afraid to see him. He stared at her dark and soft hair, and saw the pale pink fingertips that were always eye-catching trembling uneasily on her knees. .
After a long time, he slowly sneered.
The players were working tirelessly to catch insects. It was already noon when the work in the paddy field was finished. Before they could stop and take a breath, they heard the cold voice of the dungeon boss.
"When you're done, come here and bleed."
"These Gu worms are indispensable in the Gu God Festival. It is also your blessing to feed them with blood."
Zhou Shan's emotionless gaze fell on the players. When they heard his words, they were more or less stunned.
Bloodletting... Players know that it will not be easy to survive the Gu God Festival. They have experienced several dungeons, and generally the few days involving key plots are not peaceful. The current behavior of the dungeon boss is normal.
However, after hearing his last sentence clearly, I was still speechless in my heart. Do you want this blessing?
No matter how much the players refused in their hearts, they still nodded obediently, "Okay..."
The villagers took their baskets filled with poisonous insects, held a knife in their hands, and cut the players' wrists with a stiff face and an expressionless expression.
The players are not afraid of the severe pain. They are not ordinary people and have strong recovery ability, but it will only hurt a little.
Zhou Zhou looked at this scene with a somewhat pale face, as if he had stumbled into the suicide scene of some large cult organization.
Zhou Shan didn't avoid her at the moment. The girl was so timid... How could she tolerate the parasitism of Gu insects in the future? If she wanted to survive in this man-eating Gu village, she must learn to face it.
Bright red blood dripped from the players' wrists and flowed into the basket full of Gu insects.
As the blood flow increased, the densely packed Gu worms in the basket squirmed faster, as if they were full of blood. The black worm bodies were glowing with a strange red color, and they kept making hissing sounds.
It made the players a little creepy for a while.
What shocked the players even more was that they found that the bleeding could not be stopped.
Only the scars on Chu Mingxiu and Liangye's hands healed instantly.
Players are not surprised. The two are gifted with god-level skills, and their physical recovery is comparable to that of monsters.
And those players with varying strengths are in dire straits.
what happened?
The blood on his wrist felt like it was being swallowed by something. Even if he covered it with his hand, there was no sign of stopping. It was even flowing faster and faster. This was completely unreasonable.
"Why can't the bleeding stop?"
Some players bought hemostatic medicine but it didn't work.
"what to do……"
"The dungeon boss will definitely not save us. Are we going to confront him directly now..."
Some players are thinking about their chances of winning against the dungeon boss.
But after thinking about it, they were disappointed.
The answer is zero.
In this taboo dungeon, they now have zero chance of winning against the dungeon boss, or it can be said that they are seeking a dead end.
"Then what should we do now...are we just waiting to die?"
"what happened……"
Brother Cheng made the key point, "The knives held by the villagers should be abnormal."
The players looked ugly.
The bleeding cannot be stopped. Even if they become iron-headed again, they are not immortal. If this continues, their lives will be taken.
Brother Cheng's face doesn't look good either. Now if they want to find clues to the dungeon, they have to be alive.
Since it was the dungeon boss who was responsible, there should be a way to break the situation. We just had to wait and see if Zhou Shan would tell them this week.
Brother Cheng glanced at the girl, she was not far away, and thought in his mind.
"If you don't want her to die, tell us how to stop the bleeding first!"
Brother Cheng took the knife from the villager's hand while no one was paying attention, and pressed it against the girl's fragile white neck.
[Ah, ah, Brother Cheng, you deserve to die! ! How dare you, how dare you! ! Bully my wife! ! 】
[If this idiot wants to hurt his wife later, we will provide a protective barrier and we will never give this bitch a chance to hurt his wife! ! 】
[Ah, my wife is so pitiful, I feel so distressed...]
The thin silver light reflected the girl's skin as white as snow, making her look even more frail and pitiful.
Zhou Zhou trembled subconsciously.
She suppressed the fear of being pressed against her fragile neck and raised her eyes to look at Zhou Shan.
"Brother Zhou Shan..."
Chu Mingxiu looked at it quietly, his cold and narrow phoenix eyes lowered, covering the gloomy look.
When death is imminent, he still calls me brother.
"Porridge!" Zhou Shan's expression suddenly changed.
These bugs are so damned!
He suppressed his murderous desire and said coldly, "Put down the knife first!"
"You can put it down, you have to ensure our safety." Brother Cheng said coldly, but seeing the girl's weak look, he subconsciously kept the tip of the knife a little further away.
But from Zhou Shan's point of view, he was still very close, as if he could cut the girl's skin in the next moment.
Zhou Shan's expression turned extremely ugly, and a violent anger grew in his heart. He stared at Brother Cheng with eyes that were more ferocious than those of wild beasts.
"As long as you don't hurt her, I can do whatever you want. You put down the knife first."
How could Brother Cheng put down the knife and sneered, "Tell me how to stop the bleeding?"
Zhou Shan suppressed his anger and said, "My blood."
He took a knife and cut open the palm of his hand. Blood with a subtle smell seeped out of his palm and flowed down his long slender palm.
Rich and bitter-sweet with a hint of pine and snow.
The players' eyes suddenly turned red. They also had poisons in their bodies. The daggers handed over by the villagers had invisible poisons on them.
Zhou Shan's blood contains the most powerful worms, which can suppress the worms on their bodies and stop their bleeding.
A light red Gu insect crawled out from the palm of his hand, and a faint golden light flashed in Zhou Shan's eyes.
As if receiving a signal, the Gu worm flew to the injured wrists of the players. They only felt slight pain in their wrists and the bleeding had stopped.
The players smelled the blood in the air, and looked at Zhou Shan's bleeding palm with some enthusiasm...
Gu insects are bloodthirsty.
Butterfly Blood Gu is no exception, and is as bloodthirsty as the Gu bugs on the player.
【what is going on? 】
Zhou Zhou stared at Zhou Shan's palm.
[Butterfly Blood Gu. Gu bugs are all bloodthirsty... similar to the voodoos on players, blood is equivalent to food. 】
The system said softly: [We have to find a way now. 】
Ning Jidong watched this scene silently in the corner. He didn't know whether it was a physical problem or something else. The wrists of him and his two sons did not bleed too much, but healed quickly.
Now looking at the increasingly bizarre development in front of him, a trace of inexplicable anxiety appeared on his handsome and cold face.
It's so weird...here.
The mysterious Gu village, the beautiful girl, the villagers who are not as stiff as living people, and the Gu insects that eat human flesh and blood.
But Ning Cheng and Ning Yan couldn't help but focus on the girl with the blade pressed against her neck.
Looking at her hazy and overly pitiful eyes.
Under the reflection of the snow-white blade, the long and graceful neck trembled slightly.
Maybe it's out of fear. they thought absentmindedly.
However, this looks particularly touching and even makes people feel a little weird.
But she is obviously just a victim image, and she has nothing to do with it. These thoughts are all imposed by their own thoughts.
Ning Cheng lowered his head restrainedly, with a cold expression, trying to stop his thoughts.
But the girl couldn't help but appear in his mind.
Ning Yan looked directly at Zhou Zhou.
He has handsome features and is shy, but at this moment he shows a domineering attitude of a man courting in front of the opposite sex.
The girl was so beautiful...and so weak, with no ability to protect herself.
Beautiful appearance will attract the covetousness of evil people. If there is no strong person to protect the girl, those bad guys with dirty thoughts will be very bad.
He really wanted to protect her.
The players stopped bleeding and breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother Cheng would not miss this good opportunity. He pretended to move the dagger towards the girl's fragile neck and asked Zhou Shan, whose face became even more ugly, "I want to ask you, why does Gu Village raise Gu?"
The threat of nakedness.
But Zhou Shan had to accept this threat, because the girl was in his hand. Seeing Zhou Zhou being so weak that he was about to faint in the next second, his heart ached and murderous intent surged up.
These damn scumbags!
"Raising voodoo is to extend our lives. We are parasitized by these voodoos. The stronger the voodoos are, the longer we can live."
He didn't dare to use the girl's life to trust the big man, but he knew everything, "Feeding the flesh and blood of you foreign tourists to the Gu worms can make these Gu worms stronger."
"What about the Gu God Festival?" Brother Cheng had no intention of giving up at first sight, "What is the purpose of holding the Gu God Festival? To summon the Gu God?"
"No, in order to extend your life," Zhou Shan said coldly, "the Gu God will give you stronger Gu insects."
Some other players couldn't help but asked, "Then Gu God, what's his name?"
"I don't know, no one has ever known 'His' real name."
Zhou Shan's tone was emotionless, exuding a chill.
Liangye was standing far away from Brother Cheng. His unruly expression was rare and cold and gloomy, and his unemotional gaze fell on Brother Cheng.
Damn, these damn players only bully the weak and fear the strong.
[Porridge, my porridge...]
How dare these idiots bully her.
He wished he could kill him now, but the tip of Brother Cheng's knife was too close to the girl. There was no way he could guarantee that he would not hurt her when killing Brother Cheng at such a close distance.
He could only look at it gloomily and coldly like a monster.
Some players asked Zhou Shan a few more questions, and he answered them one by one with a cold face.
When the players had finished asking questions, Brother Cheng spoke up at the right time.
"Okay, we will take her for a while and put her down halfway. I promise we won't hurt her. You just need to let us go."
Zhou Shan's face at this time could no longer simply be called ugly.
He gritted his teeth, the roots of his teeth trembled slightly, and his face was full of storm, "How can you guarantee? What guarantee can you use that you will not hurt her?"
"You don't have a choice, do you?"
Brother Cheng moved the tip of the knife in his hand, and Zhou Shan had no choice but to let them leave with a stiff face.
Ning Jidong and others also followed.
Brother Cheng didn't let go of the tip of the knife against the girl's neck.
Of course he had seen Liang Ye fight against the dungeon boss for this girl before. Although he felt that it was impossible for the escape master to have any thoughts about an NPC, he still had to be careful before he was sure of the situation.
Until the group of people arrived at the edge of Gu Village, Liangye looked at Brother Cheng with a cold tone as if he wanted to kill someone.
"That's it. Why are you still holding a knife? That Zhou Shan is not here now."
When Brother Cheng heard this, he felt something was wrong. Liang Ye's words were like standing up for his wronged girlfriend. Could it be that he really had thoughts about an NPC?
This thought made his heart tighten.
"Good God, I know she is innocent, but we cannot relax now."
Brother Cheng didn't know how many thoughts he had in his mind. He smiled and said, "Do you think we should leave her here, or continue to take her with us?"
Liang Ye said without hesitation, "Of course I'll take her with me. I'll just take care of her."
Brother Cheng's heart sank. It seemed that Liang Ye was really thinking about this fool.
No, the girl must not be left in Ryoya's hands.
He had just treated the girl like this and used her to threaten Zhou Shan. Liangye was not a good person. The "ghost" who massacred the dungeon was always vengeful and he would never let him go.
"Good God."
Brother Cheng suddenly sighed and said seriously, "We are players. It is not convenient for her to follow us all the way and sleep in the open. She has food and shelter. You know she is a girl..."
The rest of the words were not finished.
Liang Ye was silent for a moment, his silky silver hair hanging down.
Although he felt that he could take care of the girl by himself, he was restricted in the dungeon. If he ever neglected...
He felt uncomfortable.
Brother Cheng spoke appropriately, "Liangshen, don't you think it's better to let those NPCs take her back?"
"I have a few puppet talismans that can be used on them, and I'm not afraid that they will have different intentions in the middle."
