I became a saint in the game

Chapter 18 Distress
"Damn, there's no difference between night and day. Where are the wild monsters?"

Chen Shicheng walked into the forest in the dark, and looked around with a knife in the dim moonlight, feeling confused. He did not see any violent wild monster at all.

He didn't believe in evil, so he found a big tree and climbed up, trying to expand his field of vision from a high vantage point.

As a result, apart from disturbing an owl and getting a series of dirty "cuckoo" sounds in return, not a single hair was seen.

No, there is still some gain!
Just far away in the southeast direction, Chen Shicheng suddenly found that there seemed to be a faint flickering fire in the darkness. Although it was too far to see the specific situation, it was much better than running around like a headless fly.

After briefly confirming the direction, he jumped off the tree canopy and started heading towards the fire.

At first, he was moving slowly because he couldn't see clearly the overgrown branches in the woods and the bushes blocking the road, but as time went on, his speed became faster and faster.

Even though he had not learned any displacement skills, he was able to run at Bolt's speed in the forest thanks to his superior physical fitness.

And the more he ran, the more excited he became, gradually immersed in the thrill of speeding.

Suddenly, Chen Shicheng's eyes became clear, and before he knew it, he had rushed out of the forest.

What appeared before his eyes was a large open space covered with densely packed small mounds of earth. Near the edge, several wild dogs with green eyes were frantically tearing at the broken limbs exposed in the mounds of earth.

If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be a mass grave.

On the other side of the mass grave, a one-meter-high bonfire was burning, illuminating the open space while also making it impossible for a dozen wild monsters to hide.

These wild monsters looked similar to humans, except that they had hideous faces, wore tattered clothes, were covered in pale, swollen flesh, and let out meaningless roars as they staggered towards a man holding a sword near a campfire.

Chen Shicheng couldn't see the man's appearance clearly because he was blocked by wild monsters, but if nothing unexpected happened, this man should be a player, and his level should not be low.

Otherwise, no NPC would deliberately come to such a creepy place in the middle of the night to fight against the seemingly endless number of wild monsters.

[Lv.7 Corpse (Violent)]

One by one, the level seven zombies stretched out their arms and slowly pounced towards the surrounded man. The man did not panic at all. He just waved the sword in his hand and several zombies were chopped to the ground.

Even if there were corpses that didn't die immediately and still tried to struggle to get up, they were burned to ashes by a fireball from the man's hand. Then he turned around and calmly adjusted his direction, continuing to slaughter the wild monsters that didn't know what fear was.

Chen Shicheng did not disturb the other party rashly. He just stood aside and watched the man kill monsters quietly. Until the last corpse fell to the ground, he waved and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Dude, do you know other places to spawn monsters?"

The man with his back to him didn't say anything. He waved his right hand and a mask with a Peking Opera facial makeup appeared in his hand. He put it on his face and then slowly turned around.

"Player?"

The man's voice seemed to be deliberately disguised, hoarse and low with a hint of surprise.

Chen Shicheng frowned and looked at the man who had played a lot of drama. He curled his lips, took out the novice cloth clothes he had changed from the storage column, tore off a piece and tied it on his face, and said in a low voice. "Well, I am also a player. Brother, I will not compete with you for the place to spawn monsters, do you know?"

"The third internal test has begun? Are you a newcomer to the game?" Before Chen Shicheng could finish his words, the man interrupted him, "Haha, it's just a monster swipe, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise."

"What do you mean?"

The man didn't say anything, but just walked towards Chen Shicheng step by step with the sword in hand. The speed of the first two steps was normal, but with the third step, the whole person jumped over a distance of more than ten meters and instantly came in front of Chen Shicheng, stabbing him with the sword in his hand.

"Fuck, what are you doing!?"

Chen Shicheng took out the Tang sword as quickly as possible, narrowly managed to knock off the tip of the sword that was stabbing at him, and quickly stepped back a few steps to create some distance.

"Well, a newcomer can actually block my sword. It seems that your ancient relics are very special." The man tilted his head to look at Chen Shicheng, and a chuckle came from under the mask.

"But it will be mine soon!"

As he spoke, the man pressed forward, swinging his sword wildly, each strike faster and more fierce than the last.

Faced with the violent attack, even Chen Shicheng, whose basic swordsmanship had surpassed the maximum level, could not help but look bitter.

This man must be at least level nine, otherwise, with his attributes comparable to a level seven player, it would be impossible for him to resist so hard. The force from the sword made him feel powerless as if he had just entered the game and faced the Soulless Bandits.

Moreover, it seems that this man has not used his full strength yet. He has not even used the fireball he threw when killing the monster just now!
"Ancient relics are not equipment that will definitely explode. It's useless even if you kill me once!" Chen Shicheng took the time to shout while blocking with all his might.

"If it doesn't work once, try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, try it three times. At worst, I can find you in the real world and get the ancient relic from your corpse."

Compared to Chen Shicheng who had to find gaps to speak, the man seemed to be at ease, and the information revealed in his words made Chen Shicheng feel a little creepy.

Do you have to be so cruel!
Killing people in the game is bad enough, but he also doesn’t let them go in real life?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he thought of the photo that Officer Song had shown him not long ago, "You are the person whose back was photographed!"

"Captured the back?" The man was stunned for a moment, and the sword in his hand paused involuntarily.

Seeing this, Chen Shicheng quickly escaped from the sword curtain and retreated, holding up his knife and looking at him vigilantly, "The country cannot be unaware of this game, and with their mobility, they may already have an organized team. You don't think you can get away with it forever!"

As he spoke, Chen Shicheng kept observing his surroundings with his peripheral vision, trying to find an opportunity to escape, but when he thought of the speed at which the man approached him just now, a feeling of despair rose in his heart.

How could I, who had never learned the skill of accelerated movement, possibly outrun a man with displacement skills with just my own two legs? Could it be that today was the first time he died in the game?
Fortunately, I bound the resurrection point in the brothel before going out, otherwise if the nearby resurrection point was blocked by this guy, I would be really screwed.

Moreover, it is probably useless to log off directly. Although you are offline, your character is still in the game, and you may die faster then.

"MD, I should have known not to come here to check the situation. Why am I so rude to you?"
