Chapter 378: After the Luck Was Stolen, the Survival Game Came
Having just defeated a wave of monsters, the three men were leaning against a tree trunk exhausted, with confusion written all over their faces.
"What's going on? How come we've encountered six waves of monsters in just two hours?"
Jiang Yueshu supported her chin. Although her luck was not good, after meeting Xie Huanhuan, the two of them would encounter a wave of monsters every half an hour.
Now monsters are coming one after another. They haven't even had ten minutes to rest and they have to pick up their swords and fight immediately. There are at least two monsters at a time.
Xie Huanhuan was also confused, she had never encountered such a situation before, and now she was so tired that she started to drink water.
The same was true for Lu Hansheng. He scratched his head, very confused.
"Yeah, I think so too. Today's monsters are so weird!"
The three of them were very confused and had to turn on the light screen to see what was happening in the chat group in Zone B.
The group was peaceful and there was nothing unusual.
Lu Hansheng couldn't help it and started sending messages in the group.
[Lu Hansheng: What's going on today? Do you feel like there are a lot of monsters today?]
[Nothing's wrong, it's the same as always? Aren't there always a lot of monsters? ]
[That's not right. I didn't drop any meat from hunting monsters today! ]
[Yeah, what's going on? ]
[Could this force us to buy food from the trade mall? ]
[Why is this so? You have to spend points to trade food in the mall. Isn't it better to eat monster meat? ]
[Killing a monster only gives 20 points. If we have to keep buying food in the trade mall, we don’t have enough points! ]
[Oh, luckily I brought some food with me, so I can only eat sparingly! ]
[I encountered some pheasants the day before, and there were fish in the river, so I guess they are still edible now?]
[I don’t know, I haven’t eaten it…]
[Forget it, let’s just kill the monsters. I don’t want to spend points, so I can only pray that there is food in the treasure chest! ]
After a few people looked around, they found that apart from mentioning the abnormality of the food, almost no other players mentioned the problem of monsters.
"Ouch~"
Lu Hansheng suddenly covered his stomach and cried out.
When the two looked at him, he frowned and spoke.
"I guess I had too much spicy food this morning and ate too much cold watermelon. My stomach hurts so much right now..."
"No, I'll find a place to solve it first, and we'll talk about it later..."
Jiang Yueshu: "Go quickly."
"Huanhuan, are you okay?"
Thinking that Xie Huanhuan also ate chili peppers and a lot of tomatoes in the morning, Jiang Yueshu asked her.
"I'm fine. I feel fine."
Xie Huanhuan screwed the lid on the cup and continued to flip through the chat screen.
Seeing that Xie Huanhuan was fine, Jiang Yueshu looked at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock. Since they were so tired just now, they decided to take a break and eat. After eating and resting for a while, they would go hunting monsters.
"Sister Jiang——"
"There is a player in the group who encountered the same situation as us. He said he felt like he was being chased by a monster!"
Xie Huanhuan suddenly exclaimed.
Jiang Yueshu looked solemn and clicked into the person's private chat box.
The player who spoke was called Shen Huan, a girl.
As soon as Jiang Yueshu explained the situation on her side, the other party responded immediately.
Shen Huan: "Yes, yes, we have the same situation here. I don't know what happened. Why did it suddenly become like this this morning?"
Jiang Yueshu: "Did anything unusual happen to you?"
Shen Huan: "No, we just hunted monsters, collected supplies, ate and slept normally. We encountered a kind of bitter fruit yesterday that can increase attribute points, and we ate it."
Shen Huan: "There were a few monsters when we were picking fruits, but they were summoned away by our teammates."
Shen Huan thought about it and felt that she should not have missed anything.
Shen Huan: "No, I didn't do anything else. Could it be that the monster is here to seek revenge? Is it because we have the taste of bitter fruit that the monster is chasing us?"
Jiang Yueshu's gaze lingered on the words "bitter fruit" and she thought of the red peppers that Lu Hansheng took out yesterday.
Is this really the reason why they were chased by the monster?
Or was it that Lu Hansheng was like Shen Huan, who let the guardian monster go, and the monster now smelled the scent and came to seek revenge?
Jiang Yueshu glanced in the direction where Lu Hansheng left, ready to wait for him to come back and ask him again.
As for whether he would leave secretly, Jiang Yueshu felt that it was impossible, because they were in the same team, so the position of any teammate could be clearly seen on the shared map.
At worst, Lu Hansheng's pet leopard was currently lying under the tree, wagging its tail.
Jiang Yueshu turned off the real-time map and prepared to ask Shen Huan a few more questions.
"Ahhh-"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from the west, and the leopard rushed out immediately.
Jiang Yueshu and Xie Huanhuan recognized that it was Lu Hansheng's voice and immediately ran over quickly.
Lu Hansheng was holding up his pants in a panic, holding his pants with one hand and holding a long sword with the other, waving it in the air.
Three steps away from him, a green-scaled blue snake was hissing its tongue and staring at him.
The leopard rushed forward, glaring, its body tense, ready to fight at any time.
Seeing his teammates coming, Lu Hansheng quickly took a few steps back and zipped up his pants, then he sorted out the chaos caused by his panic retreat.
Jiang Yueshu and the other person moved closer and immediately shot out the darts in their hands.
This mutant snake looks like a mutated version of the bamboo green snake and is very likely to be poisonous.
Pipi also rolled himself into the shape of an iron ball, without a trace of flesh and blood showing, and rushed straight forward, hitting the snake's head so hard that it tilted its head and twisted its body to look for the murderer.
At once, several pets rushed forward, and Jiang Yueshu and Xie Huanhuan dodged and attacked at the same time.
After finishing the job, Lu Hansheng was almost furious, and rushed over with sword in hand regardless of anything.
Despite his desperate fighting style, he was successfully caught by the mutant snake and bitten.
Lu Hansheng gritted his teeth and stabbed the sword into the snake's eyes before collapsing on the snake's corpse.
After feeding him a detoxification pill, Lu Hansheng returned to normal.
Jiang Yueshu called Huihui out and activated the replica skill to obtain 1 snake gall, 1 snake venom, and 2 snake fangs.
After the three of them collected their supplies, they left the scene as soon as possible. After all, in addition to the smell of blood, there was also a smell that made Lu Hansheng embarrassed to face people.
Lu Hansheng was so angry that he was still cursing even after he walked away.
"What kind of game is this? There's no buffer time for the players. You can't even take a shit peacefully. Can't you set some conditions? You can kill monsters, but there's also some time, right?"
"Luckily I felt something was wrong just now and dodged quickly, otherwise I might be the first person to die in my own shit. Oh my god, let me die!"
Lu Hansheng chattered non-stop.
After Lu Hansheng washed himself clean with water and there was no smell on his body, Jiang Yueshu and the other person approached him.
Jiang Yueshu told him about Shen Huan.
Hearing Shen Huan, Lu Hansheng's eyebrows twitched.
"you know?"
"My former classmate, I'll go ask him!"
After saying that, Lu Hansheng went to ask Shen Huan.
Jiang Yueshu and the other two specially picked a very thick tree and climbed up it. They planned to rest there temporarily to avoid encountering any monsters below.
Jiang Yueshu: "Is your situation the same as hers? Did you also let the monster go when you picked the red peppers yesterday?"
"No..." Lu Hansheng showed a thoughtful look, "I confirmed that all the monsters there were killed, and no one escaped."
"Then why is this?" Jiang Yueshu murmured.
If they continue in this way, they will probably die of exhaustion before they find the treasure.
Jiang Yueshu closed her eyes and began to review what she had just experienced, connecting all the details together.
When Lu Hansheng left just now, he was alone, while she and Xie Huanhuan were together. However, the monster happened to find Lu Hansheng who was relieving himself...
Could it be that the person who attracted the monster was Lu Hansheng?
All three of them had red peppers, and Xie Huanhuan had even eaten some.
If it was a monster seeking revenge, why didn't it come to them?
Secondly, according to Lu Hansheng, the monsters he encountered while picking red peppers were two first-level rhinos, but the monsters they encountered today were of many kinds, and it didn’t look like they were “calling friends.”
If so, why do we have to fight in a round-robin manner?
Instead of going together?
"Xiao Lu, go to the tree next to you."
Jiang Yueshu suddenly spoke and looked at Lu Hansheng beside her.
Lu Hansheng noticed something and swung over with a rope.
Not only that, Lu Hansheng also deliberately moved a few trees, so that there were three or four trees separating the two areas.
After getting ready, the three of them started to have lunch, and after that they took a rest leaning against a tree.
The three were extremely tired, and although the conditions were not good, they fell asleep quickly.
When Jiang Yueshu was awakened by the little fur ball, she called Lu Hansheng immediately.
Lu Hansheng was startled and found that a first-level mutant black pig appeared in the forest near him and was running towards the tree where he was.
As for Jiang Yueshu and the others, no wild beasts appeared.
Now, all three of them knew where the problem lay.
Lu Hansheng called via video and Jiang Yueshu answered.
"I don't know what's going on. I didn't do anything. I don't know why the monster has been chasing me all the time today."
As he was talking, the first-level wild boar on Lu Hansheng's side had already started to ram into the trees non-stop.
Lu Hansheng simply drew out his spear and stabbed it downwards. Jiang Yueshu and others slowly approached and shot an arrow at the wild boar's neck.
Not long after, the wild boar, which was still charging, suddenly fell to the ground and was poisoned to death.
Jiang Yueshu went down to collect the supplies before climbing up again. The three of them sat between two adjacent trees.
Lu Hansheng was silent for a rare moment, clenching his fists dejectedly, not knowing why things had become such a mess.
The key point is that the two people next to him were also implicated by him.
Although this was not his intention, the two of them were indeed affected.
Especially in this kind of inexplicable situation, he himself didn't know what was going on. It seemed as if everything was going against his will, making him extremely anxious.
"Why don't you guys go? I'll quit the team. In my current situation, I won't be able to use the B zone map anyway!"
Lu Hansheng's voice was low, his face was hidden in the shadows, and he looked decadent and desperate.
He was not the kind of person who wanted to retreat when faced with difficulties, but he had been through such a frustrating battle for a whole morning...
Weird and unreasonable...
He had no choice, and he couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience and force Jiang Yueshu and the other two to stay...
After all, they also have to survive, why should they take the risk to bear the responsibility for him...
Perhaps, the group of crazy wolves last night should be his fate...
Lu Hansheng leaned sideways, his head lowering lower...
"Wait a minute," Jiang Yueshu interrupted Lu Hansheng's self-destruction, "I don't believe that in this game world where rules are enforced everywhere, there would be such a weird thing. It must be that we don't know enough."
"Just like you were able to obtain three map fragments on the first day, it is enough to prove that you are also very lucky, so there must be a reason."
"Yes, when my brother first came to the game world, even his novice fishing rod was broken, but now he is still alive and well!"
Xie Huanhuan also spoke up to encourage Lu Hansheng.
"really?"
Lu Hansheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of hope, and a gleam of light flashed in the corner of his eyes.
This time, Jiang Yueshu and the others realized how badly Lu Hansheng was hit by this incident. The usually smiling man actually cried.
Jiang Yueshu: "Really? Hurry up and wipe your tears. Check carefully to see if there is anything wrong."
Xie Huanhuan: "Yes, there must be other reasons."
Lu Hansheng wiped his tears with his sleeve somewhat embarrassedly before he started to click on the light screen.
After watching for a long time, Lu Hansheng didn't find anything. He even pulled Jiang Yueshu to watch together, obviously treating them as close friends.
Only each player can see the contents on his or her light screen. Without his or her permission, everything you see will be blurry.
Only when the player actively shares or intends to do so can other players see the content.
Actually, there were only a few sections on each person’s screen, and everyone quickly looked through them.
Jiang Yueshu's gaze stayed on Lu Hansheng's attribute panel——
Constitution: 17
Power: 17
Speed: 18
All in all, the sum of Lu Hansheng's three attribute values is 52 points, which has exceeded 50 points.
Jiang Yueshu: "How many attribute points did you gain from eating red pepper this morning?"
Lu Hansheng also looked at his attribute value, "3 points, increased 3 points of strength!"
"In other words, the sum of your three attribute values at the beginning of this morning was 49 points?"
Jiang Yueshu narrowed her eyes and thought of the red peppers she hadn't eaten yet.
"Do you think... it's because of the attribute points? The game rules say that Zone B is where players with attribute values between (40-50] gather. Could it be that this is happening because I'm outside this range?"
Lu Hansheng reacted quickly and soon realized what Jiang Yueshu meant.
"I don't know. Why don't you ask Shen Huan if she has the same situation as you?" Jiang Yueshu shook her head.
"it is good."
As if he saw hope, Lu Hansheng's eyes lit up again and he directly made a video call to Shen Huan.
The video was connected quickly, and behind Shen Huan on the light screen were lush branches and thick trunks.
Apparently, she was also staying in the tree.
