A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

These trees grow on the southwest side of the square, and they are not connected to the sky or the ground. They are about ten meters away from the buildings next to the square, and it is impossible for anyone to jump there directly.

Surrounded by monsters, this place is like two isolated islands.

"This... there is always a way." Zhao Jun said helplessly.

After several dungeons, the players' sense of panic towards monsters has decreased a lot, and they can think calmly even in this situation.

Seeing that monsters with a lower center of gravity stepped on the same kind in the front row and climbed up, Zeng Xin pulled out a knife to chop off a branch, and poked them down one by one with the branch.On the other side, Zhao Jun did the same, but his movements were not as fast as Zeng Xin's, and he was a little flustered for a while.

Fang Shiqing stuck the evil spirit statue on the branch of the tree. He found that the deterrent effect of this statue on monsters became less and less as time went by, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I don't think so. We have to get out of here as soon as possible, or they will tear us apart!" He Xiangwu shouted, "Then find a place where there are few monsters and hide, and we will rush there when the time is up."

"You can't do what you said. We can't hide. We have to go to the destination as soon as possible. I have a hunch that there may be other obstacles waiting there."

Fang Shiqing also sharpened a wooden stick, and poked the monster down with Zeng Xin.

It was not an easy job. The monster he poked stopped with a stagger and grabbed the stick with his backhand, almost dragging him down.

"That's too difficult," He Xiangwu said, "It's hard for us to even leave this square. If there are many monsters on the west side, doesn't it mean that we have to continue fighting monsters there?!"

"So, the most important thing now is to find an effective way to fight monsters." You Qingyu suddenly added, "I think we can't just run away, we have to find a way to deal with them."

As she spoke, she also chopped down a few pieces of wood, took out some iron wires, and quickly cut and assembled them.She should have used her skills, and the movement was so fast that she could barely see it. It only took a few minutes to make it into a finished product: "Let me try."

——What she held in her hand turned out to be a not-so-big crossbow!

Although it is very rough and has only the most basic structure, it is indeed a genuine crossbow!

The so-called crossbow is an ancient mechanical weapon that can use mechanical devices to shoot arrows directly.This thing is easy to operate and does not require much training, but its relative lethality is strong enough to have many applications in the era of cold weapons, and it is a control tool in modern my country.

——That is to say, it is very likely that ordinary citizens will not be able to touch this thing in their entire lives.

Her movements were so smooth that Fang Shiqing was stunned.

I saw You Qingyu smoothed a branch and stuffed it into the mechanism, pointed at a monster below and pressed lightly, the branch shot out immediately, piercing straight into its chest, bringing out a stream of pus and blood Splashing high: This ordinary branch almost penetrated the monster's body.

It screamed strangely, fell on its back, and was trampled by other monsters behind it.Some of the same kind seemed to smell the smell of blood, squatting down and tearing at its chest greedily, more monsters rushed up from behind, and finally they fell into a pile.

"This, isn't it a little too powerful?!"

Not only the others, but even You Qingyu himself was startled.

For something like a crossbow, the lethality is directly related to the fineness of the craftsmanship used to make it. Such a crudely made thing can actually shoot through a monster directly... It can only be said that this is indeed a game.

After being shocked, I was extremely excited: "It seems that it will work, so let's do it!"

She cut off several branches one after another, knocking down all the surrounding monsters one by one.These monsters seem to have an instinctive desire for flesh and blood, even among their own kind, so it only takes a few dead to cause a considerable commotion.

While dazed, Fang Shiqing suddenly remembered that his craft skills could also make this thing, so he quickly cut wood and cut it like a model, and made a similar crossbow.

He Xiangwu and Gu Jinhong helped to cut a lot of pointed wood for arrow support, and he took it and stuffed it on the crossbow.

It's an amazing feeling to use this thing, to be able to shoot such a big monster so easily with just a little effort; in a way, it's very scary, but there's no time for hesitation now.

Seeing the monsters rushing down one by one, he even had a strange association: the players seemed to be playing a tower defense game.

"Can you give me one too!" Zhao Jun shouted to You Qingyu.

"Wait a minute!" You Qingyu also shouted back, she was observing the situation below.

Due to the stampede of the monsters, the pressure on their defense has been reduced a lot. However, because the monsters around are constantly piling up, it is even more difficult to escape from here.

It's definitely not going to work like this.Fang Shiqing was also thinking about this issue. He felt that if he wanted to escape, he might need a more powerful AOE (group range skill) attack.

"Look over there." Gu Jinhong from above nodded his shoulder and pointed to his back.

He pointed to the street outside the square.

After all, the total number of NPCs in the entire town is limited, and those who are too far away will not be attracted by them. Now the monsters that were originally around are concentrated at the bottom of the trees, causing the street to become relatively empty, leaving only sparse a few.

"Well, I understand, if we can find a way to escape over there, we can get away. But..."

But there is no way to break through the more than ten meters in the middle.

"Maybe..." Gu Jinhong said, "I have a way, I don't know if it will work."

"It's okay, you say." Now I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Gu Jinhong took the gunpowder from Fang Shiqing's hand, took out several plastic-wrapped bags from the inventory, and threw them on the open space over there. Those bags looked heavy, and seemed to be filled with liquid.

He dumped the contents of the last bag onto the shaved branches.The liquid exudes a rich taste, and everyone else realizes that it is a very pure spirit.

He lit the arrow with a lighter and shot it towards the wine bag on the ground. □□It was not too difficult to aim, and the bags were all accurately hit without exception. The alcohol quickly burned, and the flames swept across the surrounding monsters.

Like beasts, they have a natural fear of fire.The ignited monster tried to escape, but because the density of its kind was too high, it brought the fire to other monsters instead.

In the end, on average, a few bags of wine seriously injured more than a dozen or twenty monsters.It's a pity that the amount of wine is a bit too small. For the hundreds of monster legions in front of them, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, but if it is used well, it may not be a way to open the way.

You Qingyu's eyes lit up on the opposite side: "Good idea! Why didn't I think of it?"

As she spoke, she reached out and took out a large bucket.When the big barrel fell on the branch, the whole branch trembled and creaked, scaring Zhao Jun to climb to other branches.

Fang Shiqing felt a little familiar: "Is this crude oil?"

"Yes," You Qingyu tried, but found that he couldn't move at all, so he called Zeng Xin from the air, "Come and help me."

"Oh well."

Zeng Xin was already a little dumbfounded, she was not very assertive in the first place, when she heard You Qingyu's call, she obediently took out the hook rope and threw it over, hung it on the tree on the other side, and then climbed over there with the help of the rope .

She easily picked up the big barrel, opened it under You Qingyu's command, and poured the oil inside as hard as she could.The monsters didn't know how to avoid this kind of thing at all, and most of them were soon covered with black goo.

Fang Shiqing didn't feel very good: "Did you pour a little too much?"

The amount of everything in the game is larger than in reality. In reality, a barrel of oil is about 160 liters, and the barrel here will only be more and not less.

"Not many, there are so many monsters down there, I'm afraid one bucket won't be enough."

You Qingyu dipped a little oil on the tip of the wooden pole, borrowed a lighter from Gu Jinhong, and lit it.

She aimed at a gap in the ground and shot an arrow. The arrow fell into the oil on the ground and burned violently with a bang.

Petroleum is far more flammable than liquor, and the amount of crude oil spilled down is very terrifying.

By the time the players reacted, the scene was out of control.

The surroundings turned into a sea of ​​flames.A large group of monsters struggled and screamed, desperately tearing their burned parts, or fell to the ground and rolled; the density of the monsters plummeted, while the surrounding temperature rose straight——

After all, Fang Shiqing had the experience of being burned by fire, so he was the first to react: "No, you have to get out of here quickly!"

He quickly slid down the tree trunk.As soon as it touched the ground, the scorching heat immediately swept over, and the health value was dropping.

"Brother Fang, what are you doing?" He Xiangwu said in surprise, "It's all fire below!"

"You'll be injured on the top too!" He replied, "The temperature in the fire will rise very high, and if the fire burns for a long time, you won't be able to run even if you want to run! Come down quickly, too!"

The surrounding monsters had no time to care about the player for the time being, so he took the opportunity to run forward sullenly, and rushed straight for more than ten meters, until he rushed to the main road and rolled on the spot, squashing the flames on his body.

In just twenty or thirty steps, half of his health was burned, and a large piece of his clothes was burnt and stuck to his skin, causing excruciating pain.But the result was okay, at least he successfully ran over.

He turned his head and found that although the other players didn't know why, they followed him one after another out of trust in him.

The last one to come out was Gu Jinhong. He seemed to have not given up on the idea of ​​begging for death, he hesitated for a while before going out.When he finally came to the road, his health value was just one bottom.

Everyone was in a panic, and the pain caused by the burns was extraordinary. Even if the medicine was used to treat it immediately, it would inevitably leave a shadow.

"Hiss...Brother Fang, why did you suddenly..." He Xiangwu fell silent halfway through.

The fire didn't show any signs of diminishing. Because monsters were running around, it even spread to the trees on the street, and there were bursts of black smoke rising from the trees.

If they stayed there, they would definitely not be able to escape at all.

"Why is it so exaggerated?" You Qingyu couldn't believe it.

"...A barrel of oil can be easily burned by itself."

The monsters ran around like headless chickens, but they didn't know how to escape, and finally fell down one by one.The fat in their corpses became new fuel, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and even spread to the other half of the square.

Everyone is familiar with this square, and now, as the instigator of the fire, I feel somewhat guilty.But thinking that the game is about to end, the guilt melts away.

Fang Shiqing glanced at the time, and now there are only about 100 minutes left before the deadline on the announcement, which is not enough.

The players took care of their burns, Zhao Jun said, "Then shall we go to the west now?"

"Hmm..." Fang Shiqing said, "Well, you guys go first. I'd better have a look at the library."

"Library?" Since they had just escaped from danger, the others didn't realize that there were actually few people here.You Qingyu was stunned, "Are you going to find brother Xiao?"

"Well, it's been almost an hour and a half and he hasn't shown up yet. I think there must be some problem."

"But if it's true, even if he can't settle the matter, you can go there—" Zhao Jun seemed to want to persuade him to give up.Zeng Xin asked, "Shall I go with you?"

"No, no, no, you go directly to the west to find that station, I'll just go there by myself."

Fang Shiqing always felt that there must be other problems waiting near that station, so he didn't want to drag others down.

Seeing a few ghosts gradually drifting from a distance, he took out most of the talismans and charms in the inventory to others: "That's the deal, after I find him, we will go over immediately and meet you. "

"Shi Qing..." You Qingyu wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
