Chapter 383 Mission, Skinny Corpse
Chapter 383 Mission, Skinny Corpse
The old man who dug them out one by one had a gray shirt covered with mud, just like an old farmer working in the fields.
He clasped his hands together and muttered something with a solemn expression. After he finished, he said to Su Ming and the others, "You must remember that it was the great mountain god Green Snake who called you back from the world of the dead so that you can live again and start your life over again."
"Everything in the past is just dust. What you need to do now is to go to the green mountains, fetch a handful of fresh new grass, and offer it to the Green Snake Lord as a tribute to show your respect and gratitude to him. Please remember to remain pious enough, and the Green Snake Lord will surely bless you."
The old man continued, "Our village is named Qingshou Village, which means that the Green Snake King blesses the villagers with longevity. I am the village chief and the chief priest of the village. When you bring back the new grass, come to me and I will teach you the etiquette of paying tribute to the Green Snake King."
The horror game prompt appears in front of all players.
[Pay tribute to "Newborn Grass" (two-star difficulty): Go to the Green Mountain, bring back a handful of newborn grass, and pay tribute to the Green Snake. Mission reward: a chance to escape from the dungeon. ]
After he finished speaking, the village chief turned around and left. At this time, two villagers came over. They looked at Su Ming and his group, then looked at the village chief with extreme piety and enthusiasm on their faces: "Village chief, are they new here? Why are there so many of them this time? It seems that our village is really going to grow."
The village chief smiled and nodded: "These are all gifts from the Green Snake Lord. They give our village the opportunity to develop. We must repay the Green Snake Lord and increase our tribute. Only then can we finally stand out among all the villages and gain the favor of God..."
The two villagers kept nodding in agreement, acting like qualified lackeys.
After they left, the players began to discuss the difficulty of this dungeon: "Why does it feel like the plot of this Green Mountain People dungeon is quite different from the one the players were playing? The plot there is to collect herbs and sell them to merchants, but we want to use them to commemorate the Green Snake Lord."
"Green Snake Lord, I remember this name. It appeared in the Green Mountain People's dungeon strategy. It said that Green Snake Lord was the mountain god worshipped by the Green Mountain People. But in the strategy, Green Snake Lord was just a simple background character and we would not have any contact with him. But here, we have to pay tribute to him."
"Unfortunately, if the changes are too big, the strategies I read before may not be effective anymore."
"I feel like even if there are some changes, our intelligence still has some value. If it's a two-star difficulty, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
A young man with the code name [Feige Brand Cigarettes] was eager to try, rubbing his hands: "If we only complete this task, we can only get the qualification to leave the dungeon. Even if we survive temporarily, we can only face a slow death. If we want to get higher returns, we must find a way to take a chance!"
Then he ran towards Su Ming and the other four with an excited look on his face, patting his chest and saying, "Four big brothers, please take me to charge once! I also want to be a game cake master like you!"
Most of the older people were more conservative. "Let's try the difficulty first. We can't let our guard down just because this mission is a two-star mission. Even though it's a low star, it doesn't mean we can easily complete it. The most important thing is to survive."
More new entrants are in a hesitant and intermediate state.
You want to get more benefits, but you are also worried about taking risks and want to leave the copy as soon as possible.
"So should we leave the village directly now? Or should we explore the village first?" A player looked around. They were at the edge of the village. Outside were farmland and vegetable plots, and inside were the village's buildings. The village was not large, and it looked like there were less than a hundred households.
Everyone was looking at Su Ming, waiting for him to make a decision.
Su Ming didn't say much, but just said: "Come with me, let's go to the village to find someone first."
After saying that, he raised his legs and walked towards Qingshou Village.
Seeing this, the village chief said, "Just a reminder, don't waste too much time. If you fail to pay tribute to the new grass in time, it will be a neglect to the Green Snake Lord, and you will be punished terribly."
"It seems that this horror game is reminding us that the mission has a time limit. The longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it is. Brothers, do you think my analysis is correct?" Fei Ge Cigarettes seized the opportunity, tried to show its presence, and talked to the players in the Countermeasures Bureau.
He could see that Su Ming was not a talkative person and was the type that was difficult to approach, so he set his sights on the other three players.
Sun Liang was very patient and answered, "Yes, in horror games, even if there is no clear time limit for the task, there is often a time limit. As time goes by, the difficulty of the task will gradually increase until it is completely impossible to complete, and the player's situation will become more and more dangerous."
Fei Ge Brand Cigarettes suddenly realized and clasped his fists, saying, "So that's how it is! It makes sense. If there is no such restriction, and someone drags out the time in the dungeon, it will be endless."
Sun Liang said cautiously: "Of course, this is the rule we summarized before. There are too many adjustments in this public beta test. We can't jump to conclusions whether it will be the same as before."
Fei Ge cigarettes exclaimed: "You are indeed a master, your logic is rigorous and meticulous, impeccable!"
Sun Liang: "Well, you're too kind. I'm not really an expert. Brother Su is the real expert. Not only is he the undisputed number one in the branch, but even the bosses in the headquarters value him very much."
Fei Ge cigarettes continued to praise: "Wow! Brother Su is so amazing! He really makes us Lucheng people proud! Masters are also very humble, and they are all role models that I must learn from!" Then, their conversation became Sun Liang said a sentence, and Fei Ge cigarettes praised it.
Sun Liang finally figured out that this guy was an ultimate boaster.
He suspected that even if he farted, he would be able to exaggerate it.
He stopped paying attention to this guy and began to observe the situation in the village carefully.
Even if you have to curry favor with someone, you cannot give up your own efforts. Only by doing what you should do well can you feel at ease.
He noticed that the villagers were deliberately avoiding him and his people.
His eyes were full of disgust, as if they were some kind of ominous thing.
Is it because they have not yet offered tribute to the "new grass" that they are treated as aliens?
It was obviously a new copy, but why did Brother Su have a very clear goal and head straight for a destination?
Did he obtain the copy intelligence in advance in some way, or did he infer something through observation?
thump—
A muffled sound came from the roadside.
Sun Liang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a skinny corpse falling from a nearby tree.
Such a scene made the newcomers who entered the dungeon for the first time scream out: "Ah!!!"
"What the hell! Where did it fall from? I was scared to death!"
"What should I do? Should I call the police immediately?"
"Report to the hell! This is a horror dungeon, where are you going to report it?"
"Judging from the appearance of the body, it must have been hung up for at least half a year."
"Are you a medical examiner?"
"No, my family often makes bacon, and I have specifically observed the drying state of bacon at different times. The degree of drying of this corpse is very similar to that of bacon that is more than half a year old."
“Life is the best teacher!”
……
Just when everyone was gradually getting used to it.
The skinny corpse suddenly raised its head.
The head, which had dried up to the point of skin and bones, stared at Su Ming and the others.
“Crunch, crunch—I’m so hungry—”
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
However, it had lost the ability to speak and could only make strange cries mixed with torn flesh.
