Devil's Playground

After a while, Joe and Lily returned to the stairs.

Joe held up a set of triangles. "Found another one, also a sacred instrument for the choir, this time hidden under the bed."

"That is to say, there is a choir in this town?" Conch asked.

"Judging from the miscellaneous card obtained by Elegy, it looks more like a team of knights belonging to a certain religion is escorting these musical instruments." Lin Yu replied, "The two youths we just killed The black monsters are likely to be those knights. They are stronger than ordinary people in life, and monsters like mummies after death are also stronger than ordinary people. As far as I guess, they are probably going to escort these instruments to a certain place. A place, but encountered an accident when passing through this town. In a critical moment, each of them took a musical instrument and wanted to escape separately, but none of them escaped. "

——As expected of a writer who made up a story, he could think of such a series of plots after only picking up two quest props.

Yang Jin thought of Lin Yu's previous occupation, and couldn't help but feel a little bit disapproving.

"Then don't we have to send these musical instruments to where they are supposed to go?" Conch obviously took Lin Yu's guess seriously, frowning depressedly, "I hate escort missions the most!"

"If there is a follow-up to this mission, then we may have to find someone or something or a place that can trigger the follow-up mission, so that we can know where to send these musical instruments." Lin Yu continued to speculate, "By the way, the completion rate of the task has become 20%. Considering that the part of escaping the town also occupies a certain proportion of the completion rate, the number of musical instruments should not exceed 10, probably 7."

"Why?" Conch asked in surprise.

"The number 7 has a relatively sacred meaning in Western culture, and there are exactly 7 notes in Western music. The guy who designed this playground will probably learn from this." Lily answered first.

But Conch didn't appreciate it at all, and snorted, "I didn't ask you, don't pretend to be so knowledgeable, as if you have more ink in your stomach than me!"

"It's more than you, come to fight if you are not convinced!" Lily raised her chin.

"Shut up." Joe interjected impatiently, "Don't worry about the plot, come and check the doors and windows with me after you rest. It's been almost an hour since we entered the game, and this kind of time-limited game field is played ten times. There are at least eight times when the group of monsters will be refreshed on the hour, let's not go to the next house, stay here temporarily, and finish the first hour."

"It's going to be dark soon." Lin Yu murmured.

"Speaking of which, evil creatures will be more powerful at night!" Lily blinked and said innocently, "How about we leave here with these two instruments?"

"Hurry up and close the windows!" Joe vetoed Lily's proposal.

The windows on the second floor had already been treated by Qiao, and what Lin Yu and the others needed to do was to check the doors and windows on the first floor, close and lock them.In fact, doing this is just for peace of mind. Firstly, monsters may not only be refreshed outside the house, and secondly, windows may also be broken by monsters, and it is impossible for them to seal the doors and windows with wooden boards in such a short period of time—— It is also unnecessary to do so.

After locking the doors and windows, five people gathered in the hall, waiting for the hour to arrive.

The moment the timing number on the light screen of the memory changed from 00:59 to 01:00, the room suddenly went dark, and it became impossible to see anything.

"The sun is setting." Lin Yu looked out the window and said to himself.

"Do you want to take out the flashlight?" Conch asked.

"Don't act rashly." Qiao scolded coldly.

"There is movement outside the door." Lily's voice sounded a little nervous.

The others immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Sure enough, there was a strange sound on the originally quiet street. It sounded like a dog barking at first, but if you listen to it for a long time, you will feel that dogs can't make such a sound at all.

Joe stood up and walked lightly to the window, and the others followed in unison.

It was slightly brighter outside than inside the house, and under the moonlight, the extra black shadows on the street were very eye-catching.

"It's that mummy-like monster again!" Conch blurted out.

As soon as he finished speaking, the humanoid monster closest to them turned around and stared straight at the house where they were hiding.

Conch hurriedly covered her mouth, but the humanoid monster still staggered towards the house, and attracted another humanoid monster farther away.

"It seems that we can only do it." Lin Yu said.

As soon as he made a sound, the two humanoid monsters changed from walking to jumping, and ran towards the house like frogs, as if they were attracted by Lin Yu's voice.

But Lin Yu continued: "It doesn't seem like they will disappear by themselves. If the danger increases with time, then there will definitely be more and more monsters like this, and they will become stronger."

"Go to the next house!" Joe quickly made a decision, "The monsters outside don't look very powerful, don't stop on the road, lead them to the door of the next house and kill them together!"

After speaking, Joe opened the door and rushed out first.

Conch and others followed suit.

As soon as the door opened, the two humanoid monsters that were already rushing towards this side immediately accelerated, bent their upper bodies, and changed from jumping frogs to sprinting hyenas.Those human-shaped monsters farther away also noticed Yang Jin's group of "heteromorphs", and immediately chased them one by one like hungry wolves who didn't smell meat in March.

But these human-shaped monsters that came out to wander around just after sunset were indeed not strong. They were the same black and reddish color as the human-shaped monsters that came out of the shadows before, and their attack and defense power were generally the same.Although the two humanoid monsters closest to Yang Jin and the others quickly caught up with them, they were hit by the conch as soon as they approached, and half of one of the humanoid monster's arms was cut off.

As soon as the five men reached the door of the third house, they immediately turned to meet them.In view of the fact that these black and red humanoid monsters were nothing more than Xiao Luoluo, Lily did not intervene in the battle, but stood behind the four of them and helped them pay attention to the movement behind them.

Yang Jin also only released a soul burn before giving up the attack.Joe killed these little monsters too fast, one cut made them lose their combat effectiveness, and another cut turned them into corpses on the ground.

Qiao's skillful and precise movements also made Yang Jin involuntarily start to wonder if this guy had dismembered many living people, and judging from the content of the contract, this possibility was very high.Lily also looks less and less like a simple one, not to mention that Lin Yu has said that she is not a "real" loli, and the current appearance is probably her disguise.In contrast, Conch, a young and innocent boy, is less of a villain than Yang Jin, which makes Yang Jin more and more uncertain about the routine of Mr. E's judgment standard for "evil".

When Yang Jin was distracted, Qiao and Conch had brought down all the attracted monsters.Yang Jin hardly participated in the attack, and there were no cards or other trophies left for him among the corpses on the ground.

"We can't waste any more time, search the house as soon as possible, and reduce the rest time." Joe said solemnly.

"Why don't you go in quickly?" Conch rolled her eyes.

But Joe didn't let the conch enter the door just like that. He snapped his fingers to get everyone's attention, and then made a countdown "three, two, one" movement with gestures. At "one", he kicked Kicked open the door.

Swish, swish, and three gusts of evil wind rushed towards us.

However, the space at the door is limited, and there is only one monster that can really save the door, and it was blocked by the conch knife at the door frame.

But in this way, the attacks of Joe and others have become inconvenient. After all, this is not an online game built with 1 and 0. Using weapons and skills here will not allow you to enjoy the benefits of being pardoned by team members. Cannot pass through walls and ignore obstacles.

Although the tactic of blocking the door reduces the danger, it also prolongs the fighting time.While Lily continued to watch the show, it took several people nearly 10 minutes to get rid of the first humanoid monster at the door.

But as soon as the first human-shaped monster fell, there was a loud crash on the window lattices on both sides, and it was smashed from the inside out. Two new human-shaped monsters jumped out, and rushed towards Yang Jin and the others from the sideways. people.

Lily shot decisively, released two ice walls, stopped the two monsters, and shouted loudly at the same time: "Pull it out and kill it quickly!"

Conch also felt that this was not enough, so before Joe agreed, he backed away slowly, leading the two humanoid monsters in the house to the street.

With room to display and one more DPS participating in the attack, the speed of the battle immediately began to accelerate.These bluish-purple humanoid monsters are equivalent to the elite level, far less powerful than the previous two little bosses. After being blocked by Lily's ice wall, they couldn't even break through the ice wall. They could only stick to the ice and roar angrily.

But the duration of the ice wall is limited, and it began to show signs of melting in less than half a minute.Fortunately, they had already dealt with another elite monster, and facing three at the same time would not make it too difficult for the conch, so Lily didn't build a new ice wall.

After another ten minutes, the battle finally came to an end.

Joe immediately let the conch rush into the room, and told Lily to stop watching the lively paddling.

Yang Jin can also see that there are no mobs in the first house, and the little boss inside can only be said to be not too weak; while there are three mobs in the second house, the little boss becomes very difficult.By analogy, there are currently five mobs in this house, and the small boss here is likely to be more difficult to deal with than the small boss in the second house.

That's exactly what happened.

As soon as the five people entered the door, they saw the harp on the floor, which had the same milky white luster as the first two musical instruments, clearly illuminating the area half a foot wide around them.And the little boss was standing outside the harp's light circle. When he saw Yang Jin and the others approaching, he immediately growled in a low voice, as if trying to scare the five people away.

Of course, Yang Jin and the others wouldn't just leave like this, and rushed forward to start a fight with the little boss.

This little boss is indeed stronger than the previous two. Lin Yu cast three purification spells in a row, and Joe and Conch's weapons could pierce the little boss's body, but Lily's ice spell could only slow down the little boss's attack. With the effect of frequency, the additional lethality is very little.

In this way, Yang Jin can only put aside his worries about the loss of mental power and increase the damage of soul burning to the strongest.

Five minutes later, the little boss still showed no signs of falling, but Yang Jin was on the verge of falling.

Fortunately, Lin Yu noticed what was wrong with Yang Jin, and hurriedly threw him another bottle of blue potion that quickly restores mental power.

Yang Jin caught the medicine bottle, quickly opened it and drank it, and then, regardless of whether the medicine was effective, he started to strengthen the soul burning he released to maintain its maximum killing effect on the monster.

The battle lasted for more than ten minutes before it was over.

During the period, Conch also drank a bottle of red syrup and swallowed a pill-shaped thing.As soon as the battle was over, Conch immediately fell to the ground, tremblingly took out a bottle of soda-like drink, and poured it into his mouth.

Yang Jin didn't want to sit on the ground, so he could only lean against the wall exhaustedly.Seeing this, Lin Yu walked to his side, took out another bottle of the drink he drank before, and handed it to Yang Jin to drink.

Lin Yu seemed to be in good condition, but judging from the fact that he "delivered" the drink instead of "throwing" it, Yang Jin felt that his condition was not much better than himself.
