Chapter 397 Immortal Residence
Chapter 397 Immortal Residence
Relying on Su Ming's logistical supplies, the two villagers with camouflage abilities managed to advance about another mile.
In the middle, they could see that the Eye of the Evil God was not always approaching them, and sometimes it would move in other directions.
During this period, two or three fierce battles took place.
Even if it is only a mile or two away from here, you can still hear the noise.
This is the conflict between the wood ghost and the snake people and the messengers of God.
The wooden ghost is very powerful, and there are also some strong ones among the snake people, who are very qualified targets to attract firepower.
Because they were there to attract firepower, the pressure on their side was reduced a lot.
After walking a little further, the trees in front began to become sparse at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the weeds on the ground gradually became shorter, from knee-high to just taller than the soles of shoes.
Moreover, the terrain here is also upward. It is an upward slope of earth. As it goes upward, stones begin to appear on the slope, and it becomes a stone slope made of rubble.
Such an obvious change can be seen by anyone with eyes. The players don’t know what this change means, so they all look around vigilantly, guarding against possible dangers or accidents.
As they continued to climb, they felt more and more exhausted. Their breathing became rapid, their faces turned red, and their lips turned white, as if there was a pile of things pressing on them.
One player wiped the sweat from his head and panted: "This slope is wrong. We have only climbed less than 100 meters, but why do we feel like we are on a mountain thousands of meters above sea level? I feel like I am short of oxygen."
Another player said, "I, I feel so heavy, and my clothes are heavier too. Could it be that the gravity here is different from that down there?"
Su Ming nodded: "Yes, just hold on for a while."
This stone slope is quite special. As you go upwards, the gravity will increase to a certain extent, which reacts to people's senses and gives the feeling of weight-bearing training.
However, the increase in gravity is not large, the maximum is less than 1.5 times, as long as the body does not have too serious diseases, even ordinary people who do not exercise much can survive. At most, it is a little harder.
The village chief and several villagers felt like fish in water here and felt quite happy.
Gravity also affects them, but at the same time, they can feel that the green snake power in their bodies is quite active, which makes them full of energy and in excellent mental state.
"I feel the aura of Lord Green Snake. It's really touching! Could it be that this is a holy place left by Lord Green Snake?"
"Village chief, you are well-informed. Have you ever heard of such a stone slope and its connection with the Green Snake Lord?"
The village chief shook his head and said, "Never. Because I have lived in Qingshou Village most of the time, I am just a frog in a well."
What made the villagers even happier was that after they stepped onto the stone slope, the gods' messengers did not follow them. So everyone no longer had to remain in a highly nervous state and could relax a little.
After walking up a little further, you can see a few thatched houses standing on the top of the hill.
As they got closer, they could see someone standing there. When they saw each other, the other person also noticed them and fled towards the thatched huts.
Why are there people here?
Who on earth is staying here?
The players were full of curiosity, but not too scared or worried, because after the other party saw them, their first reaction was to avoid them, which meant that their strength was not very strong.
In this case, with Su Ming, the village chief and the villagers here, this strength should be enough to deal with this situation. After a while, they reached the top of the slope, which was a circular flat area with a farmyard on it. In the yard surrounded by wooden railings, you can see a vegetable field, a chicken coop, a cowshed, a well, and a few thatched houses.
It looks like someone has lived here. There is only one family living on the high slope, which makes them look like hermits.
At this time, the prompt for the horror game appears.
[Trigger mission: Xianju (three stars)]
[Explanation: A river is not deep, but it is magical if there is a dragon. A mountain is not high, but it is famous if there are immortals. Stay here for 48 hours and get some immortal air.]
[Reward: A chance to leave the dungeon, and a one-star treasure chest.]
Seeing the hint of the horror game, the players' eyes lit up.
"Great! We can finally leave the dungeon!"
"I actually saw a three-star mission. I am somewhat touched by the difficulty of this mission."
"This place is called Xianju. Could it be that there are immortals living here? I wonder if there is a chance to learn immortal cultivation techniques or get a few immortal pills."
"Stop daydreaming. If there really is an immortal, how could the difficulty be only three stars? What are you thinking about?"
"I am already very satisfied that I can leave the dungeon safely, not to mention that there is a treasure chest to take. It is a huge profit!"
Unlike other players, Sun Liang ran to ask Su Ming: "Brother Su, can we do this quest? Can we get out of the dungeon by completing this quest?"
He understood that the final decision-making power still lay with Su Ming. If they wanted to complete the task, they would most likely need his help.
Su Ming nodded: "Okay. I came here because I have other things to do, but I can help you complete this task by the way."
Sun Liang quickly thanked him: "That's great! Thank you, Brother Su! When we return to the real world, we will treat you to a good meal."
The other players also breathed a sigh of relief. Their only worry was that Su Ming would cause trouble again and ruin their chance to escape the dungeon, just like the initial two-star mission.
Due to the huge gap in strength between them, if the other party did this, they would have no choice but to lose their temper.
At this time, a man walked out of the thatched hut cautiously. On his head was a code name "Angry Male Boxer".
When he saw the code names above Su Ming and the others' heads, visible joy appeared on his face.
"Great! You are players too! Where are you from?" He greeted them warmly. "When I saw you coming just now, I thought you were dangerous plot characters. If you are players, then we are relieved."
After him, several more players came out, making a total of twelve. They were all ordinary players, without a single extraordinary player. However, basically every player had a weapon in his hand, some of which were horror props, and some were made from local materials.
The male boxer was the leader. He cleared his throat and said, "We are all players. We should help each other. Let me first tell you about the situation here."
