Stealing the protagonist's chance at the beginning

Dozens of village patrol members flocked here, turning their heads from time to time to look at the corpses covered in sackcloth on the open space of the training ground, as if waiting for a conclusion.

Their expressions were slightly sad, and even a little indifferent, obviously seeing too much life and death.

Only the faces of a few newly promoted reserve patrol team members could see the obvious sadness.

In addition to these ordinary players, four extraordinary people from the village, including Zhou Shen, Zhao Tiange, and Wei Jinpeng, had also arrived.

Among them, Xu Fei also saw the last deputy captain named Qian Gaoxiong for the first time.

At this moment, this man, who was as strong as a black bear as his name suggests, was squatting in front of one of the relatively complete corpses, inspecting the traces left behind, and exchanging a few words with the serious-looking Zhou Shen and others from time to time.

In the open space a little farther away, several players including [Dao Dao Li Huo] were also watching the situation nearby.Speak a few words in the chat bar from time to time, and "live broadcast" to players who haven't arrived yet.

Noticing Xu Fei's arrival, Dao Dao Li Huo waved at him, probably recognizing this person who just became famous last night.

Under the attention of the players and the village patrol team members, after a moment of investigation and discussion, the four superhumans who were examining the corpse seemed to have finally reached an agreement.

I saw Zhou Shen came out on behalf of the other three extraordinary people, and made an official speech to the people gathered here: "Everyone, after our unanimous appraisal, we can confirm that the murderers who attacked Xiao Liang, Feng Heihu, and Cheng Shan , it’s a weird high-ranking-blood corpse!”

"As for how to deal with this weird one, the village already has an idea, and it will be put into action soon. Everyone, go back at ease."

"In the next few days, everyone should pay attention to strengthening their vigilance when patrolling at night. At the same time, all activities outside the village will be suspended until the bloody old corpse is eradicated."

Seeing what Zhou Shen said, he looked very confident again, and the somewhat panicked NPC village patrol team members gradually calmed down.

Not knowing who would take the lead to leave, everyone dispersed in twos and threes amidst low sighs.

Without these onlookers' NPCs, the players present would be very eye-catching.

Zhou Shen looked up, and they didn't say anything to Dao Da Huo, only a little surprised when they saw Xu Fei, and then waved to him.

This obvious difference in treatment really attracted the special attention of Dao Dao Li Huo.

A series of inexplicable gazes immediately looked at him.

Before Xu Fei logged in today, he had already explained on the forum. It is estimated that Dao Dao Li Huo went online too early and did not have time to watch it.

Xu Fei had nothing to hide about this, and walked up to it openly.

"You've also received the news, right?" Zhou Shen forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, it's just a creepy monster that can't threaten our village."

In the first few days when the server was just opened, Xu Fei was still not very clear about the strange divisions of game level and resentment level.After all, NPCs are quite taboo about their existence and are reluctant to mention them easily.

However, after looking through the "Picture Book of Monsters", Xu Fei has a clear understanding of their division.

According to the prevailing rules in this world, the weirdness and weirdness are divided into four levels according to their strength and fearfulness.

The order from weak to strong is: You, Resentment, Fierce, and Disaster!

Tournaments are the most common, but their threat is the least.A transcendent who is a little stronger, carrying the talisman of [Tale Master], can kill it independently.

The weirdness of the resentment level is a bit difficult to deal with, but fortunately, it can still be restrained by the first fire altars in most villages.

The fierce level is a qualitative change, beyond the limit of most low-level superhumans.

However, there are not many of them, and in some areas where the gray fog is relatively inactive, it may not be encountered once in decades.

And the disaster level is weird, as the name suggests, every occurrence is a disaster.If we fail to deal with it a little bit, one or more cities may be destroyed as a result.

It is said that above these four levels, there is a higher unknowable level.

This legendary level has become so powerful that human beings can't understand it, even if the saint comes in person, it will be difficult to resist, so there are unfathomable and unknowable sayings.

And within each level, there are subdivisions of lower, middle, and upper ranks, so that human superhumans can better measure their strength.

It was precisely because of a clear understanding that Xu Fei was not nervous when he learned that it was just a top-ranking swimmer who was weird.

He knew very well that with Huai Zhuang's extraordinary power, he could completely deal with this weird one.

"I'm not worried about this." He said to Zhou Shen: "I just want to ask, what can we foreigners do for the village."

After receiving the news, I ran here specially, not to watch the excitement.Saying a few words of generosity and brushing up favorability is only secondary, the key is to see if you can trigger a mission or something.

But obviously, just a weird attack wasn't enough to make the transcendents of the village patrol team have any special reactions.

Zhou Shen shook his head and said, "Although you Yiren are all talented, you have just joined the village. Even if you are assigned tasks now, you will not be of much help. Instead, you may die in vain. get stronger."

Some are weird and strange, if you kill enough humans, you can use this to improve your strength, and the old blood corpse is unfortunately one of them.

Seeing Zhou Shen's resolute attitude, Xu Fei didn't say anything, but asked, "How does the village plan to eliminate this weird one?"

Zhou Shen thought for a while, probably because he felt that Xu Fei was not an "outsider", so he said truthfully: "Blood corpses are more weird during the dark night, and they are more sensitive to a large amount of blood. I am going to strengthen the night defense. At the same time, arrange a trap to see if it can be lured out and killed."

When Xu Fei flipped through the "Guides and Monsters Illustrated Book", he hadn't seen the part about the old blood corpse.But seeing that Zhou Shen already had a plan that seemed feasible, he didn't talk too much.

After all, when it comes to dealing with weirdness, the NPC extraordinary is the professional.

Chapter 29 Something went wrong with the First Fire Altar

After a moment.

Staying at the village patrol team station for a while, seeing that the task cannot be triggered here, and the free breakfast can't be missed, so Xu Fei immediately prepared to escape.

Unsurprisingly, he was stopped by Dao Dao Li Huo, Wang Milk and other players.

The attitude of all the old buddies is extremely enthusiastic, and Xu Fei is not good enough to give any face.I can only tell them a thing or two about what Zhou Shen said just now, to satisfy their curiosity.

Only then did he escape successfully and head to the teacher Chen Mu's home instead.

Regarding the strange attack that happened not long ago, Chen Mu, who is a talisman master, obviously also received the news.

He didn't make any comments on the matter itself. He just reminded Xu Fei when he continued to figure out the ritual talisman of the bull's body: "Be careful at night and don't walk around. In case of any accident, immediately use it as a gift from the teacher." Give your monsters, flee to the altar of the first fire, or to the teacher!"

Chen Mu's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about an inconspicuous matter, but the hidden meaning in his tone surprised Xu Fei.

"According to the teacher, do you think the attack will happen again?"

Chen Mu didn't answer his question directly, but said without raising his head, "Do you know why that old blood corpse can hurt people in the village?"

This question is indeed what Xu Fei and other players are wondering about, and there are still people discussing it in the chat bar.

The opinion of most players is that this may be an accident.

Some people also speculated that the several village patrol members who were attacked might have voluntarily left the protection range of the Chuhuo Altar for some reason, which gave the blood old corpse an opportunity.

But Chen Mu told Xu Fei a reason that surprised him and even made him uneasy.

"The reason is very simple. There may be something wrong with the Chuhuo Altar!"

what! ?

If this news gets out, it will be big news that can shake the entire Novice Village!

Xu Fei couldn't help asking: "Why did the teacher say that?"

Chen Mu was silent for a moment, and said: "To maintain the flames of the Chuhuo Altar, a lot of 'firewood' must be consumed. But a week ago, when you aliens just arrived, Qingmu Village had a resonance, and sent a long-distance firewood to Huaizhuang An order was issued."

"This kind of resonance between the altars of the first fire will also consume a lot of firewood reserves."

"Qingmu Village has a big business and can afford it, but Huaizhuang has no extra firewood at all."

"No matter how fierce the flame is, if there is no fuel, how can it last?"

Reminded by Chen Mu's words, Xu Fei remembered that Zhao Tiange and other NPCs seemed to have leaked a few words of information before.

It's just that these vague clues are too fragmented, so no players think of them in the first place.

If my teacher is not mistaken, the attack of the old blood corpse might not be an isolated case.

Even if a few superhumans manage to eradicate the old blood corpse, as long as the problem of firewood for the altar of the first fire is not resolved, new weirdness will continue to attack the village!

As if he didn't want Xu Fei to worry about this, Chen Mu suddenly said: "You don't have to worry too much, the power of the Chuhuo Altar has only weakened, not completely exhausted. If I predict correctly, soon after the Qingmu Village When the caravan arrives, it will naturally help Huaizhuang make up for the shortage of firewood. The real danger period is at most only a week or so before the end of the month."

Only for a week or so?

That is not bad!

Hearing this, Xu Fei felt relieved.

With the weird objects sent by the teacher to defend himself, he is already safer than most people in the village.Zhou Shen, Wei Jinpeng and other extraordinary people also made the village patrol team step up their vigilance.As long as there are no major accidents, Xinshou Village must be able to survive this week safely.

However, this attack also reminded Xu Fei.

For the matter of cultivation, we must pay more attention to it.

Fortunately, in the past few days, his analysis of [Ritual Solidification Talisman (Bull Body)] is close to 50%.

After thoroughly mastering the drawing method of this talisman, Xu Fei can consume this talisman to further strengthen himself, and enter the middle stage of body forging in one fell swoop, and his strength will greatly increase.

At that time, it may still not be enough to deal with the weirdness of the old blood corpse, but once again, it will be able to have a certain amount of self-protection against monsters like the Killing Heart Grass!

.........

After a slightly long white night.

As the incident of the village patrol team's attack had spread in the village, the NPC villagers hid in their rooms earlier than before after the dark night fell.

The village was dead silent, except for a few night owl players who stayed up all night cultivating immortals, there was no one to be seen.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but looking out from the dark village, the gray mist in the wilderness is darker and colder than usual.In the depths of the fog, there was a creepy strange sound from time to time.

It seems that there is an invisible terror approaching the village on the mountainside.

The village patrol team on duty in the "dark night" also smelled this dangerous atmosphere.He can only shrink his strength, hide in the warning area where the flames of the Chuhuo Altar can radiate, and rely on several specially opened strong outposts to guard the safety of the village.

Only at midnight and dawn will they go out for inspection along a specific route.

Due to the attack of the old blood corpse last night, in order to prevent further accidents and to stabilize people's hearts, several extraordinary people worked tirelessly to choose an outpost each.

Among them, Zhou Shen and others were responsible for the direction of going down the mountain, and they would try to set traps at night to lure and kill the old blood corpse.

Wei Jinpeng is in charge of the relatively safe outpost on the south side of the village.

It is backed by the mountainside, so it is generally not likely that there will be weird invasions from this direction.

In the eyes of several vigilant village patrol members nearby, Wei Jinpeng was sitting in front of the wooden table at the moment, his body motionless.But they knew very well that the vice-captain seemed to have fallen asleep, but he was actually closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Once there is a disturbance, it can burst out with thunderous power at any time.

His presence gave the village patrol members a great sense of security.

Time passed little by little, and the movement in the depths of the gray mist never stopped, but the village was still relatively stable.During the period, Wei Jinpeng led the team out for an inspection, and there were no accidents.

After returning to the outpost again, although the members of the village patrol couldn't see it on their faces, they were secretly glad in their hearts.

If things go on like this, they may be able to get through a dangerous night safely.

Less than an hour before the arrival of "White Night", Xiao Gao, who joined the village patrol team last year, felt his stomach bloated.

Although I intend to hold it back and wait until dawn to settle it, but people have three urgencies, and some things can't be held if you just want to hold them back.

After struggling for a while, he could only call out a teammate who had a good relationship with a bitter face.

——For the sake of safety, the village patrol team has strict requirements for leaving the post when on duty at night.

Even if it's just a small convenience, and you'll be back in half a minute, you must travel with two people, and it is absolutely forbidden to go out alone!

"I told you not to drink so much salty soup for dinner!"

Gong An, who was called out by Xiao Gao, looked reluctant and complained in a low voice, but he left the gate of the post with him helplessly.

Chapter 30 The first daily task

Said to leave, in fact, did not go far.

There is a specially built dry toilet in the corner of the wall a dozen steps away from the post.

If it is the hottest day, you can even smell an unpleasant smell when you stay in the outpost.

Soon, there was a drizzling sound from the dry toilet.

Outside the door, Gong An held a lantern in one hand and urged his teammates impatiently; with the other hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, he looked around vigilantly.

Although in the dark, it is impossible to see the situation in the distance clearly, but this kind of vigilance can still give him some comfort.It was as if if she really wanted to rush out of the darkness, she would be able to escape a death...

The cold wind seemed to be suddenly stronger, and there was a whining sound from the wind blowing over the strange rock in the distance.

The sound of water stopped at some point, and there was a dead silence in the dry toilet.

Gong An didn't realize this at first, and he didn't realize it until the calm lasted for two or three seconds.

The body tensed instantly, and while turning around and stepping back slowly, he tentatively called out: "Xiao Gao? Are you still there?"

No one answered him.
