Players are having a rough few days.
In the past few days, maybe because the Gu God Festival was coming, or maybe Zhou Shan was using the Gu insects to hunt them down, the number of Gu insects in the village suddenly increased sharply, there were too many.
Not even insect repellent can be used to drive them away, and as long as they touch the players' skin, they will melt into them and disappear.
They didn't even dare to sleep, and they couldn't guard against these weird poisonous insects along the way.
The players who were parasitized at first were still lucky, but later on, even if they cut off their parasitized arms or legs, no matter what props they used, the teammates around them could not escape the fate of melting into a pool of blood, and they were completely desperate. .
"We will all die..."
The players who had just been parasitized by the bug were extremely frightened. Seeing the miserable fate of their companions, they had lost hope of clearing the dungeon.
After going through so much, do they actually want to fold into this forbidden copy?
Brother Cheng knew that the current situation was not optimistic. He glanced at the pale and desperate players, as well as the few remaining players who had not been parasitized. They also had distracted eyes and ugly faces.
Brother Cheng thought about the dungeon boss, and he said that being parasitized by Gu insects can extend your life, but now it has nothing to do with the miserable situation of players like them being parasitized... Is this only for people in their Gu village, or are there any specific conditions? ?
I have to say that Brother Cheng’s dungeon experience is indeed very rich.
In the dungeon of Gu Village, there are certain conditions for extending one's life. They must become a villager of Gu Village and participate in the Gu God Sacrifice unique to Gu Village.
But players are naturally at odds with NPCs. Unless they are assimilated, they cannot become villagers.
But if they are really assimilated, they will never be able to clear the dungeon.
This is an unsolvable proposition.
Chu Mingxiu watched indifferently, and he said to Brother Cheng without any emotion, "Didn't you say you found the Gu God's lair before?"
"In which cave?"
Brother Cheng was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Chu Mingxiu to take the initiative to talk to him.
"I'm not sure if that's 'His' lair..."
However, he quickly reacted and said after careful consideration, "Besides, that place has been discovered by the dungeon boss. We were caught there last time. Do we want to go there again?"
Chu Mingxiu looked at him and moved his fingers, "You haven't gone in completely, have you?"
Brother Cheng nodded, "Yes, there are too many Gu insects inside. Last time we only walked halfway through and got out."
"Then go again."
Chu Mingxiu's calm voice made Brother Cheng a little uneasy, but they had no way out. What faced them was either death or entering this cave.
Liangye glanced at them not far away and sneered in his heart.
…
The cave was very quiet and dark, so dark that there was no trace of light.
The players didn't dare to make a sound at all.
They know that the Gu insect's hearing is extremely sharp, and even the slightest sound will be detected.
However, the cave seemed calm at this time, and there was not a trace of Gu insects.
Chu Mingxiu did not relax his vigilance. He carefully looked at the dark hole without any light.
It depicts a huge python entwined in the cave, surrounded by pitch black, with only the python's pair of golden pupils shining brightly.
It seems to be alive, staring at the players strangely and coldly.
And there is a man carved not far away on the wall cave. He is looking at it faintly. He looks exactly like Zhou Shan, or in other words, he is "Zhou Shan".
What is the relationship between the giant python and the village chief of Gu Village...?
Chu Mingxiu continued to look downward and paused.
There is also a line of vague small words "Xue Zhu" below.
...No, have to...look into "His" eyes...never look into "His" eyes...
"He" refers to Zhoushan or the giant python?
Chu Mingxiu stared at the golden pupils and the dark phoenix eyes for a while, but didn't see anything special. If there was anything wrong, I can only say that the pupils looked too real. …
Like real snake eyes, the thick golden color is like the golden sculptures of distant Egypt, brilliant and mysterious...looking at them from a higher dimension.
Or maybe he is not looking at them, but looking at the low-dimensional world at his feet without emotion, and they are just a group of ants in this low-dimensional world.
It gives people an unknown fear of being stared at by an unknown person.
The players were thinking in a daze...
Human beings cannot understand content beyond their own cognitive scope... Human beings cannot contact high-dimensional creatures, just like ants cannot understand human beings.
[The system prompts that the player has been mentally attacked, his mental value has dropped to 60, and he will soon be affected by hallucinations——]
The players' consciousness was temporarily confused.
They seemed to see a huge body without a face, eyeballs with long legs... lumps of flesh glued together.
They are constantly expanding.
"puff--"
A few players with weak willpower spit out large pools of blood.
Liangye saw this tragic situation, but he was not afraid at all. He looked at the small words with interest. The corners of his lips were slightly curved, and his silver-haired bangs were raised loosely, making him look particularly handsome and ruthless.
"Is this the Gu God?"
Brother Cheng's eyes were also a little dazed, looking at the blurred line of blood characters, "He" refers to the Gu God?
But there's more than just giant pythons up there...
And that dungeon boss...or is Zhou Shan the Gu God?
"His" eyes, these golden pupils were a little dizzy after staring at them for a long time, but was there anything else that he hadn't noticed?
Of course, the remaining players also noticed the carvings on this wall cave, but they felt a splitting headache just after staring at it, as if their soul was about to be taken away, so they had to lower their heads and did not dare to look again.
Hearing Liang Ye say that this is the Gu God, the players felt even more desperate. Just the mere presence of the depiction made them miserable even just looking at it...
How terrifying is the true form? How could they survive from the hands of such a being?
It is really a hell-level difficulty to learn the true name of "His" from such a terrifying existence.
There is also the dungeon boss next to the giant snake. Why does he appear here?
What is his relationship with Gu God?
After getting the real name of "His"... there is no clue now. The players looked at the person and the python on the cave and had a bold idea in their hearts.
If "His" real name is the name of the dungeon boss?
Will it be?
"The Gu God's real name is Zhou...Shan."
A parasitized player submitted an answer and waited desperately when the cold voice of the system sounded.
[The answer is wrong. 】
The player fell to the ground unwillingly and turned into a pool of blood. A Gu insect flew out slowly. Liang Ye looked at it with disgust, then he casually threw out a knife and sliced off its body.
"That's disgusting."
The players took a deep breath and looked around the caves. When they reached the bottom of the cave, they found no other clues.
The group of people prepared to retreat back the same way.
They moved carefully towards the hole/mouth.
"Hey...why are you pushing me...?"
A player suddenly spoke up.
He couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice, but the people behind him didn't say anything.
He was the one lagging behind. He was moving forward cautiously, but found that the players further behind kept pushing him.
He originally thought it was just an accident, so he quickly took a few steps forward and found that the person behind him was still pushing.
The player turned his head to see who was pushing him, but the next second he turned around, his pupils shrank and his head was buzzing.
He couldn't stop screaming, "Ah——!"
The scream burst into silence.
The originally dark and silent cave suddenly became agitated.
The other players heard the commotion and looked up, feeling a chill creeping through their limbs.
They chattered their teeth and covered their mouths tightly to barely make a sound.
The screaming player could not help shaking his body at this moment, looking at the human figure in fear as if he would faint in the next second.
The player who "pushed" him had turned into a skeleton, with pale bones glowing with a glistening blue light. Countless Gu worms opened and closed their black ink-like wings, squeezing between the empty bones, blocking them. They will maintain their human form, their sharp insect teeth covered with bloody flesh.
And what he thought was a push was actually not a push, but a skeleton leaning forward semi-steadily being hugged by the Gu worm.
The tall and slender pale bones had a sharp and cold color, and in the dimness, the hollow skull eyes happened to be facing him.
No wonder, no wonder, he felt that the body of the player who had just "pushed" him was so hard and irritating. How could a skeleton not be irritating?
The players stared at the terrifying insect skeleton and did not dare to move for a while.
But Chu Mingxiu had no expression on his face, and he directly opened the pale skeleton with a knife.
The knife in his hand is a prop he got in an S-level dungeon. Whether it is a supernatural being or a monster, it can cause harm to them.
The Gu Insects were immediately scattered, and the cold and violent evil aura on Chu Mingxiu's body actually made these mindless Gu Insects dare not approach for a moment.
"Chu Shen!"
The players' faces were filled with joy. They knew that as a master, Chu Mingxiu would definitely not leave the situation alone.
Perhaps before they were happy for a while, they saw Chu Mingxiu abandoning them and walking towards the hole/mouth.
The players were stunned, "This..."
They were about to follow, but those Gu insects were afraid of Chu Mingxiu and would not let them go. They flew over ferociously, densely squirming and tearing at their bodies.
"Ahhhh——!"
The players screamed in agony.
You can imagine the feeling of being eaten by insects. The sharp teeth cut their skin like knives, and even their souls trembled in pain.
Brother Cheng was naturally afraid. Although his life was not in danger, for the sake of safety, he had cold eyes and directly pushed the players who were close to him out to use as a shield against the Gu insects.
"Ahhh——! Don't——!" The player was directly swallowed by the Gu worm.
"Brother Cheng! How could you do this?!"
The remaining players stared at him in disbelief.
They really didn't expect that Brother Cheng, who they had always trusted, could be so vicious. Although escape game players were all selfish, there was no one who would push his teammates to block the knife before he was about to die.
Liangye then slowly sneered, "What a good show."
Brother Cheng sneered, his face already broken, "How could they survive until now without me? It's right for me to kill them now."
"Originally, they would have been killed by the dungeon boss in the end... In this dungeon, I have one less player and one less opponent."
"I don't believe that the famous 'ghost' Liangye doesn't understand my thoughts..."
Liangye sneered, "I am different from a sanctimonious scumbag like you."
The players gritted their teeth and looked at Brother Cheng, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person... It's a shame that we still trust you so much..."
If it happened again, they would never let down their guard and trust any player in the escape game.
In fact, the players didn't trust Brother Cheng very much at the beginning. The only blame is that Brother Cheng is so good at winning people's hearts. In this forbidden dungeon, he took the initiative to look for clues and share dungeon information, without showing any bad intentions at all.
"Brother Cheng...why?"
Some players looked at him angrily, "Even if you use your strength to overwhelm others, it is better than using your emotions... Your ability is not weak..."
"You are so naive."
Brother Cheng smiled, "Being able to play with other people's emotions is also a kind of strength. If you die at the hands of a strong person, you will not lose."
The players suddenly showed ugly expressions as if they had eaten shit.
"Then I am stronger than you, so I should take your life."
Liang Ye's eyes fell on Brother Cheng. The system's restrictions had been relaxed a lot in the past few days, and it wouldn't be a big deal to kill him.
As early as when Brother Cheng threatened the girl, he was destined to die.
The man knew that Good Night would never let him go.
But he still had the life-saving props of an S-level copy, so he wasn't afraid of him. He showed a somewhat relaxed smile, and the next second, his whole body froze.
"Why aren't you laughing?"
Liang Ye moved the tip of the knife with some malice, and blood slowly oozed from Cheng's chest. The S-level prop had no effect on Liang Ye——
"How could you be...immune to S-class items..."
how could it be possible……
His props are S-class god-level props. In the previous dungeons, he relied on his crushing golden fingers to do whatever he did... I don't know how many players he killed to get to where he is now.
And, and...as long as he clears this dungeon, he can join the S-level guild in the main game hall...
How could he die...
He doesn't want to die——
"How is it impossible?" A pleasant smile hung on Liangye's lips, "You don't know much..."
"Good, good night..."
Brother Cheng had a pale and resentful look on his face. No matter how resentful and struggling he was, his body became colder little by little.
The heart stopped beating completely.
A man who was good at playing with people's hearts died so easily.
…
The few remaining players followed Liang Ye and Chu Mingxiu back to the residence arranged by Gu Village.
However, they did not show up boldly, but hid in unison.
Players are afraid of being discovered by the dungeon boss, confronting monsters, and losing their lives that were hard to save.
And Liang Ye is not afraid of the dungeon boss. He doesn't value the mission that much. As long as the dungeon is destroyed in the end, it doesn't matter if he can't complete the mission.
He has always been thinking about the girl, but he is very angry now. If he runs directly in front of the girl, he will inevitably scare her.
Liangye thought for a while and then found a place to wash himself.
And Chu Mingxiu couldn't explain his purpose clearly. He felt that he probably wanted to look for clues from Zhou Shan before returning.
After all, it is not difficult for him to survive for seven days, but it takes a lot of effort to learn the true name of "him".
Chu Mingxiu thought to himself that this was his only purpose.
There is absolutely no desire to take another look at that haunting girl... She is just an NPC, and she and the player are in completely different worlds. There is no way that the NPC will have any good results with the player.
