Chapter 459 Chapter 450·"Are you scared?" (Qing Ningzi Leader Jiageng 33)

[Acquire props - Curse Spark Seed]

[(Curse Spark Seed): The miraculous flower that can bloom after waiting for a long time is still in the seed state.Bringing it around has a weak fire prevention effect. (This item cannot be taken out of the dungeon)]

……

After the rest, the group continued their journey.

It was getting dark.They found a small gathering place and stayed here.

"Snapped--!"

Just when he was about to enter the room, Su Mingan saw a firework blooming in the night sky not far away.

"What's that?" He looked up.

"Maybe it was sent by the players." Lu Shu said: "In this kind of venue, sending out such a signal that everyone can see is a person who has confidence in his own strength."

"I'll go and have a look." Su Mingan said.

Now is the night time, he can shoot, and with the help of the raven, he doesn't need to be as careful as during the daytime.

"I..." Lu Shu opened his mouth immediately, wanting to follow.

"There are not enough soul stones. Among us only Siber has soul stones." Su Mingan stopped him: "Siber's soul stones can only last two nights, and if you bring you, they can only last one night." , the fault tolerance is too low."

Lu Shu stood where he was, without saying a word.

Xiaobi stood quietly on his shoulder, rubbing its two long knives.

Just as Su Mingan was about to leave, Lu Shu's voice came from behind.

"Su Mingan."

"Ok?"

Lu Shu hesitated for a while.

"I mean, if, if it was Noel," he said, "...would you have let him follow?"

Su Mingan understood what he meant.

Sure enough, Lu Shu felt that his role was constantly decreasing.

Whether it's the Fifth World or the Seventh World, Lu Shu has been playing soy sauce all the time, never getting close to the truth of the world.

Before the start of the Eighth World, Su Mingan took the time to look at the world rankings. Lu Shu's ranking has dropped to nineteenth, which is far from the fourth place at the beginning.

The higher the player's ranking, the bigger the gap between them and those behind. Lu Shu's ranking is basically far from the first echelon, and he can't even touch the shadow of the top ten, let alone the first and second players.

So, is Lu Shu... inferior?
Su Mingan believes that if you feel inferior, you should catch up immediately instead of complaining about yourself while making soy sauce.

But if it is said that seeking verbal comfort can help Lu Shu, he doesn't mind saying it, at least Lu Shu is still a partner for now.

"Oh!"

Just when Su Mingan was about to speak, there was a loud door opening sound from the side.

Siber, dressed in fiery red, came out carrying a polished shotgun.

Snow-like white hair fluttered behind her, and she was carrying a shotgun that was almost half as tall as her, which seemed out of place with her small stature.
"Let's go." Siber heard what Su Mingan had just said, and said calmly.

In her hand, the soul stone lit up, and the range of the fire was not large, it could only cover two people.

Su Mingan immediately followed Xi Boer, who was walking fast, and looked back at Lu Shu.

Lu Shu was still standing in the darkness, a fine black mist had already begun to rise, gradually drifting towards him.

Su Mingan said: "Lu Shu, if you want to go out at night, you have to find a way to collect soul stones. Soul stones are a hard requirement. Even if it is Nuoer, if there is no soul stone, I will not take him with me."

He said no more.

No matter if it's Nuoer, Lu Shu, or even Yamada Machiichi, as long as they have soul stones in hand, they will now have the capital to go out at night with him.

But if they don't, that's okay.He won't bring one more person at the cost of depleting his own soul stone.The next dungeon will take a long time, he must not run around with a soul stone that can only last one night.

"I understand." Lu Shu said.

His expression was still very calm, and Su Mingan didn't know what he understood.

Regarding the method of obtaining the soul stone, the guide has always been secretive and unwilling to say anything.It would be best if Lu Shu could find a new soul stone.

He and Siber approached the area where the fireworks bloomed. There was a distance from here, and it would take a few minutes to get there.On the way, he found many players in action nearby.

"The place where the fireworks bloom is a large dungeon. The person who set off the fireworks is the fifth player on the list, Lu." Ying's voice came.

As the boss rabbit, Ying can walk around and appear as a host in some instances.Shadow has already noticed the movement over there.

This was the first time Su Mingan heard that someone found a large copy.

Both large and medium-sized dungeons have a fixed opening time. If you miss this time, you won’t be able to meet them next time.

... No wonder, the discoverer will deliberately set off fireworks to attract other players.This kind of large-scale dungeon is basically a faction-based competition, and the number of participants must be more than 12. If the cooperation is in place, it is not impossible to make profits together.

……

Traveling at night is grueling, even with soulstones.

Those swaying, gloomy shadows of trees, and whispers faintly ringing in the ears tortured one's nerves all the time, and the torment was just right, making people maintain a state of tension all the time.

"call……"

A slight wind scratched his ears, as if someone had gently blown on the back of his neck.

Even knowing that there will be nothing behind, there will be a feeling of hairs standing on end.This was purely a physiological reaction. Even if Su Mingan was not afraid psychologically, his heartbeat and breathing would subconsciously speed up.

After walking for a while, he had a vague feeling that his nerves were about to snap.

This feeling does not come from pure vision and hearing, but a strange sense of panic created by the joint efforts of the environment as a whole and people's various perceptions.He walked in the silent night, as if walking in sticky black mud, as if countless hands were pulling his body, and he couldn't even take a step.

Looking at Siber, who was walking quietly and seemed not to be affected in any way, Su Mingan asked, "Siber, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm scared, I'm scared to death." Sibel said calmly.

"Your expression is very calm." Su Mingan said.

"Fear doesn't necessarily have to be shown." Siber said, "Sometimes, it's better to hide fear in your heart, so that others won't find that the fearful person has come to an end. For the weakest guy like me From a human point of view, easily exposing fear is equivalent to easily throwing away life."

Su Mingan listened and found that this 15-year-old girl really knew a lot.

It was this world that made her what she is today.

Under the ubiquitous oppression, she is growing rapidly.

"Not to mention... this feeling at night." She said, "I'm used to it too."

"Are you used to going out at night?" Su Mingan asked.

She obviously only has one soul stone in her hand, so it won't take many nights at all.

Siber laughed and didn't answer his words: "Adventurer, you are still scared."

"No." Su Mingan denied.

"Otherwise, why did you take the initiative to talk to me?" Sibel said, "Aren't you afraid of being heard by other competitors? In this silent night."

"I'm just surprised." Su Mingan said: "This kind of environment interferes with people's five senses, making people anxious and fearful. Even I will be affected a little, but you seem to be very calm."

"I've said it all, I'm used to it." She said, "Don't change the subject, you're really scared, right?"

"I……"

"The way you try to defend yourself is kind of cute," Sibel said.

"..."

Su Ming'an had already discovered that Xi Boer's temperament was not so timid, and she didn't expect her to say such a thing.

Of course, as always, those love-brained viewers who only know how to watch dramas, as expected, started jumping up and down in the live broadcast room, clamoring some speechless words.

But he only felt that Siber was even more unfathomable.

She said this, it seems, just to test his reaction.

"...Okay, here we are." Siber suddenly said.

Su Mingan squatted down immediately.

He noticed that there was an open space ahead, and they were almost out of the forest.

They hid in the bushes and observed the movement on the flat ground ahead.The light of the soul stone was pressed down by his hand, barely covering their crouching bodies.He looked out through the gaps in the blades, and this flat land has already gathered many players.

Players are attracted by that firework.

But what Su Mingan cares most about is that almost none of these players have soul stones in their hands.

They were directly exposed to the black mist, either carrying an ordinary oil lamp or waiting with a flashlight. Only a few two or three players had soul stones on hand.

Su Mingan realized that soul stones are really scarce.

"Raphael, Kane, Hutos, Luo Yi, Li Yujie, Seven..." Siber glanced at all the guides and recognized them: "They are all troublesome people, and they all gathered together Let's go together. This large-scale sacrifice site that is about to open should be quite difficult."

"Is it okay for these players to be exposed to the black mist like this?" Su Mingan asked.

"It won't matter for a while, but it will be hard to say after a long time." Xi Boer said: "Although outsiders like you have low immunity to the black mist, generally speaking, when you are in a good state of mind Sometimes, you can last for a long time without the soul stone, it will only make you mentally weak."

Su Mingan understood.

It means that it is just the beginning of the game, and everyone's san value is quite high, and they can survive for a while without relying on the soul stone. Their san value will be deducted first when they are exposed to the black mist.But when the san value drops to a certain level, and there is no soul stone, they can no longer bear the curse.

In other words, soul stone = san value retainer.

Su Mingan observed the situation on the ground.

Not far away, you can vaguely see fields, wheat, and scarecrows. A narrow dirt road lies on the ground, and the stream extends to all directions of the dark soil. The golden wheat extends far away in a regular square, like a dark golden pavement. carpet.

This should be the junction area between farmland and forest.You can vaguely see rows of three-story buildings in the distance, as well as pig pens and chicken pens. This is a large farm that develops both agriculture and animal husbandry.

And that blood-colored firework stayed right above the open space, and it is still condensed and not scattered. This seems to be a special signal prop, attracting players coming from all directions.

Currently, there are a total of seven players present. They are confronting each other in the open space, and there should be some players hiding nearby.

They didn't know who was sending the signal, and they were caught in a confrontation as soon as they arrived. Without a mediator, it would be difficult for them to reach a peaceful consensus.

"Snapped!"

At this time, suddenly, a loud clapping sounded, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The person who let off the fireworks finally appeared.

Amidst the nervous gazes, a bonfire suddenly lit up in the middle of the open space.A person emerges out of nowhere under the light, like a shadow spliced ​​​​by firelight.

The reassuring smile he had on his face when he looked up was reassuring.

His charm is at least A, with good facial features, both the deep eye sockets of Westerners and the soft facial lines of Easterners. Wearing a pure white suit, when he appears bathed in light, he looks like the prince charming in fairy tales.

With a wave of his hand, the bloody fireworks in the sky suddenly disappeared.

"The mission of fireworks is over here, thank you for being invited." He spoke softly and bowed slightly to everyone.

"Lu. You set off fireworks to gather players?" said a male player.

Lu smiled softly.

His whole body was bathed in the brilliant firelight, his sea-blue hair and fair cheeks were illuminated translucently.

"...Yes, I found the first large-scale dungeon at present. It can only be opened at night, and it can only be opened once. I think this kind of opportunity should not be missed. Why don't we call everyone to share the opportunity—now twelve The players are all here, so this large dungeon can also be opened."

Lu raised his hand and looked at the GPS-like blue disc floating in his hand: "——The four friends who are hiding in the forest, since they are all here, can you come out and see them? I believe, You risked going out at night, don’t you want to be spectators all the time? Why don’t we try this large dungeon together?”

Su Mingan, who was squatting in the bushes, was slightly taken aback. He was wearing a sniper pistol [Wandering at Night], logically speaking, it should not be easy to be found.

……

Special attribute [Night Walk]: Equipping this gun at night will automatically reduce the player's sense of presence and reduce the probability of detection of the player by other people's detection skills.

……

The effect of this gun should be good, at least he just walked all the way, and two or three players should have passed by him, but they didn't notice him.

He didn't know the "four players hiding in the forest" mentioned in the intersection, including him.

Lu Huan looked around and said loudly: "Four friends, the site of this large-scale dungeon should be the farm ahead. The opening time is 10 minutes later. If you don't want to miss the opportunity, please come out quickly."

After Lu said this, three more players gradually came out of the forest.

Su Mingan knew the situation on the road.This is a frequent visitor to the top ten of the leaderboard, and also a top player with a unique style.

The most unique thing about Lu is that he is a player who likes to interact with the audience.

Normally, the top players have no time to talk to the audience.But Lu was an exception. He even regarded the audience as his friends, and became very familiar with many of the audience who were resident in the live broadcast room.

The most admirable thing is that the average player chats with the audience, and it is easy to get caught up in the rhythm while chatting.But Lu is an exception. When he chats with the audience, the topics are always relaxed and harmonious. Even if someone puts a verbal trap in the barrage, he can easily avoid it.

In general, he is a natural anchor-world game anchor.

As a result, although his strength is not the strongest, he is the most popular one. It seems that all unfavorable public opinion topics are going around him.

Su Ming'an believes that this kind of person who has both ways and handles public opinion calmly is indeed much better than an ordinary student like him.

There are already 11 people present, Su Mingan waited for a while, but no one showed up.

"Is there another friend who can show up? The dungeon will start in 2 minutes." Lu said with a smile.

... I guess it was him.

Just as Su Mingan was about to stand up, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the side.

A young man with blond hair and blue eyes came out with his arms folded.

"Our last friend has appeared. Good evening, Aini, although this is the first time we meet in the copy." Lu smiled.

"I thought Su Ming'an would be attracted by the fireworks. What a pity, I didn't wait for him." Aini snorted.

Lu said: "I thought I could compete with him. I like his skill configuration very much. I also... like him very much."

"This coward is probably still staying in his own room..." Aini sneered.

At this time, Su Mingan, who was still in the bushes, was looking at the wandering night walk on his waist.

This [Night Walk] is passive, unexpectedly powerful, he was actually not discovered by Lu's seemingly powerful GPS prop.

"——Since everyone is here, let's start quickly." In the open space, No. 80 No. [-] Junko Jing Xue said.

"Okay, then..." Lu stretched out his hand to the scarecrow next to him, and touched the button to open the instance.

After opening the dungeon, he suddenly turned his head in surprise, his expression full of surprise.
