The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 269 Blood Sun (16)

With so many monsters killed, their levels must be over level 20. He only barely reached level 20 by killing so many monsters with the help of top players these past few days.

Crushing a purifying crystal that had been drained, the venomous snake walked out of the house expressionlessly, waving angrily as it disappeared into the distance.

The house was then entangled by a giant, transparent snake and quickly collapsed.

But a real man never looks back at an explosion, otherwise he would see the data corruption at the collapse site.

This scene was witnessed only by the male and female players who were reluctant to leave this place.

Everyone exchanged glances and chose to remain silent, with no one reporting the situation to Viper.

The same applies to the two who initially followed the viper and the original hunter.

"How about we try to escape?"

What to do about toxins in the body?

Everything was conveyed through eye contact; no words were needed. The male and female players had already reached a tacit understanding.

Based on their previous speculation, Yin Leng was most likely abducted by Su Ninglong, and only by finding Yin Leng could the poison be cured.

If we can escape,

No one knew about their private conversations, but no one paid attention to them either. If they hadn't provided Su Ninglong's information from the beginning, Viper and the original hunter wouldn't have wanted to keep her around at all.

The venomous snakes were confident that once they were poisoned, they would be unable to escape their control.

The two followed the snake and others away, but took the opportunity to secretly leave the group and return to the village.

Many other players shared the same idea as the male and female players who collaborated, but their reason for returning to the house was more practical: for the loot dropped by the monsters.

The original hunter had long noticed these people's petty theft and gave a sarcastic smile.

Su Ninglong is greedy and stingy. What could a monster possibly leave behind? Just a pile of rotten flesh? It's a wonder she's so generous as to take them in; they're all ungrateful wretches.

As the original hunter cursed under his breath, the two returned to the village and saw others churning the mountain of flesh in the distance. They felt a sense of desolation and disarray, as if they were standing in the wind.

How can they get close to the house in this way?

After some struggle, the only option was to pretend to be like the other players, searching for the "lost" treasure, and then approach the house to see if there was anything to discover.

Unfortunately, Su Ninglong hadn't completely cleaned up the looted items this time, so they actually found some things.

However, what they found was somewhat beyond the players' comprehension.

For example, someone might find a brand new box of plus-size men's underwear. The muscular male model on the box looks handsome, but the player holding it feels awkward yet secretly pleased. He's been in the game for several months, his clothes are all torn, and he's been wearing clothes taken from other players' corpses. But underwear is something you can't have secondhand; it's too disgusting. Getting a new box is a pleasant surprise.

For example, another player found a sharp hook knife in a group of monsters, which was actually a grass-cutting knife.

He was exploited by top players and became a "farmer" for the sake of stability.

When he encountered the lawnmower, he both cried and laughed. He cried because he was miserable, but laughed because it would save him a lot of effort, and he was really going to become a farmer.

Some received a box of needles and thread, a weighing scale, a bag of rotten salted duck eggs... like opening a lucky egg, all everyday items that weren't very useful.

Both male and female players also gained something, obtaining two bracelets. However, these items had owners who had died. Unless a legitimate company was hired to unlock them, they could only be used as timekeeping tools.

The male player slumped his shoulders and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "A consolation prize?"

"No, don't you think something's wrong?" Seeing the male player's bewildered expression, the female player didn't explain or remind him of any keywords, fearing that he might lose his mind again when facing the original hunter.

This could be one of the original Hunter's special abilities, but female players should be careful.

What does it mean to have an owned bracelet, expired food, and brand new underwear?
This indicated that the item was likely brought in from outside. The female player's eyes lit up, and her breathing became rapid. Su Ninglong must have noticed something unusual about this place.

The boss who wiped out all the monsters is progressing so fast, much more serious than those two scheming snakes.

Su Ninglong must be tackling the contaminated area. She should still be here; if she's nowhere to be seen, she's probably underground.

After careful consideration, the female player decided not to get involved and said to the male player, "Let's go back and not linger."

The male player froze: "Huh? We're going back already? I don't want to go back to Viper's side."

The female player was speechless: "Ask anyone here if they're willing to go back. Anyone who can beat the monsters will obey your every word."

When male players get stubborn, nothing can sway them. It's mainly because it's so embarrassing, it completely destroys their male dignity, and they're always unconsciously led by the nose by the original hunter.

"I'm afraid I'll say something wrong when I get back. You should think of something." He wasn't stupid; after noticing the unusual situation at the house, he understood why Su Ninglong was protecting it.

Perhaps in a couple of days, the contaminated area will be cleaned up by Suninglong. Even the dumbest person would understand what the players' common goal is.

"How about we just wait here?"

"Here? You have food? You can kill the monsters here? Among the dead monsters, there are even level 40 ones, they could crush you with a single finger."

Regardless of what the female player said, the male player stuck to his decision: "I'd rather be poisoned to death here than be a dog."

"Fine, we won't go back then. There are other smaller factions in the contaminated area, just not as powerful as Viper." The female player tried to persuade him to leave the area and follow the main group.

Just after they all left, Viper and the former hunter, along with several top players, leisurely returned to the house.

How could they possibly not see the anomaly that both male and female players could notice?

Satisfying others' curiosity is the best way to proceed. Catching Su Ninglong off guard while simultaneously dealing with the contaminated area is a win-win situation, and Viper is already impatient.

He licked his lips and ordered his men to lift up the rubble of the house.

Beneath the ruins, a sci-fi-style blue and white passageway appeared, devoid of any blood-red hues, appearing normal and pleasing to the eye.

The hunter applied some lip rouge to his dry lips before saying, "Su Ninglong is truly a talent. She discovered this place, which was hidden so well."

The viper was unhappy that the original hunter had boosted the morale of others, thinking, "Maybe it was someone close to her who discovered it."

"Is it so hard to admit that someone is excellent?" The original hunter yawned, exhaling a fragrant breath. "I really like Su Ninglong's appearance; she's both heroic and feminine."

The venomous snake mistook the lustful look in her eyes for mutual admiration between women, saying, "You can get plastic surgery to look like her."

"Haven't you heard the saying 'Those who imitate me will die'? My skull is already fixed; I can't fix it. If I tried, it would look stiff. After thinking it over, plastic surgery would leave too many sculpted marks, but a face transplant is something I can consider." The former hunter held his face in his hands, imagining how many young men he could charm if he had that extraordinary beauty.

The venomous snake, kept in the dark, asked in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." The former hunter said to himself in the mirror, "You're already so beautiful, you could be even more beautiful, right!"

After saying that, the original hunter twisted his slender waist and took the lead into the passage.

The snake choked him; he shouldn't expect to team up with this woman again.

……

Having already entered the underground area, Su Ninglong followed Shen Zhaoming. The passage he created was indeed built with the word "maze" in mind, and Yin Leng and Lao Gu were completely confused.

Su Ninglong strolled leisurely, finding it quite interesting. She memorized the map and praised Shen Zhaoming for his ability to apply what he had learned to other situations.

“I’ve read your books on formations. I happened to be looking for Lei Qingya when Feng Ying was reading them, and I remembered a few pages, but I didn’t peek at them on purpose.”

"Are you interested in learning more? Feng Ying, Lei Qingya, and Xue Heng aren't very good at it. Lei Qingya can memorize it by rote and integrate the formations into weapon crafting, but she can't apply it flexibly." Learning formations is like learning math; those who already know it already know it, and those who don't will never understand it.

"Are you willing to let an outsider like me learn the ultimate techniques of cultivation?"

“What outsider? You’re my brother.” Su Ninglong winked.

Shen Zhaoming suddenly smiled, a pure smile filled with warmth in his eyes. He missed her when she was four years old, so he could pick her up and spin her around.

As they grow older, they have to consider their gender when they want to hug someone.

About fifteen minutes later, the group arrived at their destination.

After exiting the passage, Shen Zhaoming added several instructions to block the exit.

Looking back at the barrier wall that showed no signs of human intervention, Lao Gu wondered if he had offended Shen Zhaoming.

Yin Leng also felt that he was quite cautious, and compared with Shen Zhaoming, he immediately felt that he could still improve his studies.

Just pray that the people walking inside don't go crazy.

Directly below the village lies the core area of ​​the spiritual vein. Because the spiritual energy in the entire polluted area is very dense, Su Ninglong did not notice it.

The core area of ​​a spiritual vein usually doesn't have such a large space and often needs to be created artificially. However, this is a game, and anything is possible.

Within the space, countless black cocoons were placed, slowly emitting black energy that permeated the spiritual veins.

Su Ninglong suddenly realized that spiritual energy could not have the ability to corrode without a reason, and the range of which was so large.

Old Gu suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a diamond-encrusted backpack in the middle of the black cocoon, "That's my lucky backpack."

Yin Leng sized up Lao Gu. "That flashy backpack must be quite expensive. Aren't you very poor?"

Even if a diamond costs only one star coin, this size doesn't necessarily mean that diamond setting requires handcrafting to achieve a beautiful effect. That backpack clearly doesn't look like a cheap product.

Old Gu said without looking to the side, "What? Who doesn't have a skill these days?"

Yin Leng: "So, you mean you made the backpack yourself?"

"Of course, I don't have the money to buy such a unique and good-looking backpack. And no one would just give me a well-made backpack for no reason."

Being poor, and yet feeling proud of it?
Su Ninglong chuckled. Old Gu looks very composed, but deep down he probably still craves praise.

Yin Leng pointed to the backpacks among the black cocoons below and said, "You can pick a few here; many are brand-name items, practically free."

Old Gu choked, but remained unmoved: "This isn't called getting something for nothing, it's called profiting from the dead."

“You don’t need to feel burdened. You call it a search.” Shen Zhaoming smiled. “If you don’t pick it up, someone else will. And picking it up will help us find out roughly how many victims there are.”

There are too many victims to search now, and Su Ninglong's spatial ring can't hold them all.

The game bug expert Shen Zhaoming easily modified the data here, and the objects scattered all over the ground were quickly put into a corner and then the blocking program was overwritten.

Su Ninglong was a little envious; one-click organization was even slightly better than magic.

Yeah, just a little bit. When she has some free time, she'll also try to create and enhance some spells.

"A very impressive and skillful technique," Su Ninglong said.

Shen Zhaoming chuckled: "You mean profiting from the dead?"

Su Ninglong: "Tsk, let's not talk about petty theft at this time. Let's put it more elegantly, we call this the Lost and Found Office."

Everyone: "..." Could your language system be any more advanced? Who stole chickens or dogs? No, the lost and found office, shouldn't we return the items?
There were two backpacks on the ground, inconspicuous in the black cocoon, but Su Ninglong could see them with a sweep of her divine sense.

“Our backpacks.” She went over and picked them up, and as she got closer, she heard something gurgling in the water.

Looking back, there was nothing there.

With her backpack slung behind her back, Su Ninglong's index finger hovered in front of the black cocoon, only about a centimeter away.

There was no gurgling sound. Had she misheard? There were fine strands on the black cocoon extending in the direction of Su Ninglong, as if trying to wrap around Su Ninglong's fingers.

"They probably want her to become part of the nourishment," Su Ninglong thought.

These black cocoons are difficult to destroy, especially in this place. Su Ninglong does not understand the purpose of the black cocoons moving to the ground.

She put her hands on her hips and looked around. "Besides the black cocoon, what else here is worth paying attention to?"

"This is part of the laboratory." Shen Zhaoming tapped the game screen; his task showed that he was one-quarter complete.

"and then?"

"Maybe we'll find the remaining three-quarters? Or, we don't need to do anything; we never intended to conquer the contaminated area through normal means in the first place." Shen Zhaoming pointed to a door on the hidden spiritual vein, which might lead to other laboratories.

"Shall we go?" Yin Leng was very excited. Su Ninglong and Shen Zhaoming's progress in conquering the contaminated area was too impressive. He would be able to get out soon.

Although it makes him seem a bit useless, once he gets out of the game, Yin Leng will definitely treat Su Ninglong like royalty when he gets back.

Spending too much time in "Blood Sun" makes life lose its color, leaving only a sea of ​​red, red everywhere.

Green plants can be particularly irritating. After looking at warm colors for a long time, one gradually loses all passion and is left only with rage and disdain for things.

The important thing is that there is no entertainment here.

He wanted to soak in the hot springs and eat at the clubhouse; he wanted to stroll around and experience the atmosphere of strangers; he also wanted to sit on the rooftop of a high-rise building, holding a beer bottle and eating peanuts.

Su Ninglong went to the door, put her ear to it, but heard no sound from behind it.

She then opened the door, and a cold wind swept in, stinging her face.

Yin Leng followed and squeezed through to take a look. "Huh, where is this?" There was another door three meters ahead.

The gate is shaped like an ancient bronze gate, huge and magnificent, like an iron giant guarding the unknown space.

Complex sounds came from inside: roars, sobs, curses...

The sound cannot be eliminated even by repeatedly reciting the Great Compassion Mantra!

"Don't close the door yet..."

The word "door" had barely left his mouth when the door behind him was already closed.

Old Gu, who was the last to enter, hurriedly turned around to look for the door handle, but there was no door.

"Holy crap, a trap!" Old Gu was starting to wonder if there was another version of himself out there, always on the path of doing bad things, like a stupid spy.
