Chapter 48

After entering the town, the attacks from the monsters became much more violent.

On Qi Huai's back, Lu Miao and the others only had to deal with the ghosts in the sky, but Qi Huai had to deal with both the ghosts and the snarling corpses on the ground. The corpses were in different states of death, roaring and charging towards the four of them.

Come on, most of the attacks were blocked by Qi Huai.

The combat power of these corpse monsters has increased many times compared to the corpse monsters in the rental cabin before. Even a combat player like him who has passed dozens of C-level dungeons can't help but feel it.

Enormous pressure.

You know, if it were another C-level dungeon, Qi Huai wouldn't have to care about the plot at all. He could just start the battle royale with his eyes closed and pass the level smoothly.

But in this dungeon, facing so many monsters whose combat power is calculated in the form of percentages, Qi Huai couldn't help but start to rejoice. He never thought of clearing the dungeon "A Quiet Day" in the first place, so he went on honestly.

The plot.

Otherwise, the monsters he faces now may not be as strong as they are now.

——Just like the NPC Lao Wang who was raised by human-skin monsters in the dungeon that Lu Miao cleared before. In this dungeon where combat power is calculated as a percentage, every monster is likely to be angered, thereby stimulating a higher level of motivation.

combat effectiveness.

In other words, if he starts the battle royale from the beginning, these ridiculously powerful corpse monsters may become top bosses with terrifying combat power like the manic "Marley's Ghost" before.

What's even more shocking is that these monsters, unlike those in other copies, actually have some intelligence.

Qi Huai raised his claws and slapped away several corpse monsters that were attacking from the front. Suddenly, he heard Yu Qian shouting: "Qi Huai, be careful in front of you!"

His heart skipped a beat and he turned around. Unexpectedly, the ghost above his head had approached him, and the sharp claws he transformed into grabbed Qi Huai's eyes without hesitation.

Qi Huai's pupils tightened. At the critical moment, he only had time to turn his head to get out of the way, and the ghost's sharp claws grabbed the side of his neck——

[The shield provided by the prop "Old Shrine" withstood the attack of 100 health points for the player "Qi Huai", and the current shield value is 1900. The durability of the prop "Old Shrine" is -1, and it can withstand up to 99 attacks.

.]

Qi Huai's sharp claws suddenly tightened, harvesting the sneak attack ghost, and also dealt with the corpse monster that took the opportunity to break through the defense line and tried to climb on his back to attack Lu Miao and the others.

There was no emotion on the face of the giant black cat, but the arch of its back and the exploding hair on its body all showed Qi Huai's nervousness.

This is the first time he has encountered such a large and powerful monster, and it is also the first time he has exposed this vulnerable part of his back to other players.

Ever since Lu Miao and the others climbed up on his back, uncontrollable negative emotions have been lingering in his heart, suspicion, anxiety, fear... Now there is another one to add, self-doubt.

Lu Miao is just a newcomer who has just entered the game. He has just cleared a dungeon, and it is only a D-level dungeon. Before entering the game, Lu Miao only rested for a few hours. In such a short period of time, even he could not collect

There is so much news related to this game, not to mention how many operations Lu Miao made along the way, there is an element of gambling involved.

Should he really trust Lu Miao's judgment?

Su Anqi's paper puppet still stays in his body, constantly reminding Qi Huai of the fact that he is controlled by others. He cannot attack Su Anqi, and is not even allowed to have such thoughts, but Su Anqi can attack him at any time.

What if Su Anqi suddenly attacks him at this time?

Yu Qian... This seemingly ordinary intelligence dealer may be the richest among them - if it weren't for the points obtained from transactions between players, they would not be recorded, and only live broadcast income can participate in the calculation of the rankings. Yu Qian

Definitely an amazing ranking in the standings.

Is it possible that he has some props hidden, and when he encounters danger, he just leaves the dungeon?

Yu Qian has props given to him by Lu Miao, and his current luck value has reached an unprecedented 100 points. If Yu Qian had lost his lucky blessing, the ghost that attacked just now might not have been wrapped in thick fur.

Neck, but his eyes.

In other C-level dungeons, even if he loses the vision of one eye, Qi Huai can still pass the level with confidence.

But in the dungeon in front of him, the monsters had been upgraded to such an extent that he had even lost the confidence to pass the level alive.

——Let alone clearing the level alone, if any one of the four players is missing, they may completely collapse.

The power of the corpse monster, the sneak attack of the ghost, and the tacit cooperation between the two as if they were connected by souls, all caused Qi Huai's heart to be strongly shaken. His attacks were still powerful, but they gradually lost their structure, and the look in his eyes was uncertain, almost

The ghost took the opportunity to break through the protection and scratched him a few more times.

[The shield provided by the prop "Old Shrine" has withstood the attack of 100 health points for the player "Qi Huai", and the current shield value is 1800. The durability of the prop "Old Shrine" is -1, and it can withstand up to 98 times.

attack.】

[The shield provided by the prop "Old Shrine" withstood 100 attack points for the player "Qi Huai"...]

…

The "shabby shrine" is Su Anqi's prop, and it is a protective shield for everyone. Anyone who takes an attack can be seen by the other three players.

At first, the other three people thought that Qi Huai just made a mistake and was caught by the ghost. They didn't take it to heart. However, as the system prompted more and more times, Qi Huai only had 1,000 shields left.

The shield value in the front finally realized something was wrong.

Su Anqi couldn't help it anymore: "Qi Huai? What are you doing? If you can't bear it anymore, just say so! Do you want me to go down and help you?"

If this kind of words were said in normal times, from any player's mouth, the audience in front of the screen would feel that they were full of calculations.

This is a horror game, the kind where you will die if you are not careful.

In this game, even if the people standing next to them are their lovers, friends, or even close brothers and sisters, it is impossible for them to completely let down their guard and give their backs to each other without reservation during the battle, let alone

Not to mention competitors on the same ranking list.

Besides, that's Qi Huai, a combat-oriented boss who has cleared more than 30 dungeons by running rampant, and within a year he has gone from unknown to unknown to the tenth place in the rookie standings!

If Qi Huai can't handle the situation, what's the point of having others come?

As a half-demon who has been so marginalized, it is incredible that Qi Huai can cooperate with these players. Su Anqi's paper puppet is still planted in Qi Huai's body. It would be too much to say that she wants to help him at this time.

Overestimating the partnership between them.

But when Qi Huai raised his eyes and saw the bloody red light in those dark green eyes, the players in front of the screen were all shocked.

Qi Huai's state... why does it look so wrong?

In the viewing area, in front of Qi Huai's screen, the players looked surprised.

Most of them are Qi Huai's old viewers. Every time Qi Huai enters the game, they will rush over immediately. They have watched most of Qi Huai's clearance videos and have never seen Qi Huai like this.

"Something's wrong...Has Mr. Maomao ever had this happen before?"

"I remember that although he was crazy and often started to play battle royale as soon as he started, he never had a red-eye, right? Even at the earliest time, when he just entered the copy of the game, he was plotted by that damn old player.

It’s never happened before!”

"No, I remembered it." Someone suddenly said at this time, "Yes, Mr. Cat and Cat encountered a dungeon before. The theme was illusion. I remember that many people died in it. When Mr. Cat and Cat broke out,

, it’s also like this!”

"Yes, yes, I thought of it too. The forum was not open at that time, but I have recorded images here! It is probably because I have left the dungeon, so there are no records in the previous clearance videos... But at that time, Maomao Da

This guy is so scary! I happened to be in the direction where he came out, and I almost thought I was going to die!"

The surrounding players immediately moved over to look at this person's system interface.

Above the system frame, a lifelike holographic image suddenly appeared. Qi Huai, who was much younger than he is now, rushed out from the huge space crack behind him with red eyes. The dark green cat eyes that they often praised had turned into

It was as red as blood, filled with murderous intent and despair.

But these players who had already passed through countless dungeons and killed many monsters couldn't help but feel cold all over and break out in cold sweat after coming into contact with his sight.

After a while, until the figure disappeared, everyone slowly realized that what they had just seen was just a holographic projection.

But the feeling of being locked by killing intent still frightened them, and their hearts beat violently.

"Damn, it's really..."

"What on earth did Mr. Cat go through in the fantasy world? How come he has such a terrifying look in his eyes?"

"I've seen that fantasy dungeon. It seems to be a fantasy related to the past of Mr. Cat. But at that time, my attention was on the terrifying monsters. I just wanted to let Mr. Cat pass the level quickly, so I didn't notice it.

What happened inside."

"Although he looked terrible, I don't know why, but I felt that he was so pitiful at that time and I wanted to cry..."

…

Qi Huai in the dungeon is unaware of the discussions about him outside.

He was breathing rapidly at the moment, his pupils dilating and shrinking for a while, staring closely at the corpses with different forms of death. All kinds of complex emotions seemed to turn into a ball of fire in his body, burning wantonly, as if to burn his body.

The internal organs were reduced to ashes.

He heard Su Anqi's voice and knew something was wrong with his current state, but his mind seemed to be covered in a layer of fog, and his cognition and feelings could not be connected.

Qi Huai took a deep breath slowly, then exhaled it, forcing himself to calm down. Just as he was about to speak, several familiar faces suddenly flashed before his eyes.

He was stunned, and his eyes immediately searched the faces of the corpse monsters that he had just knocked away, but all he saw were some unfamiliar faces.

It's an illusion.

Qi Huai realized this, but his heart was shaken violently. The memories in his mind that seemed to have been dusty for a long time suddenly woke up at this moment and came one after another——

It was a war with great disparity in strength.

The demon clan is fighting against the human race. The human race has just lost the powerful immortal king who protected them. The demon clan who was driven to the wild land somehow got the news and suddenly launched a massive attack, breaking through the defense laid by the immortal monarch for the human race, and kidnapped the treasures and beauties.
