Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

The demon's movements immediately became slower, and the knife-hands waving left and right became completely disorderly.

At this stage, Yu Shui and Chen Lu were not in a hurry anymore, because the axe was not as sharp as it was at the beginning, so they used it as a blunt instrument.

You take a step, and I take a step.

You hit my head, I'll chop my waist.

The demon wanted to fight back, but it was so wounded and dazed that it couldn't pose any threat to the two men.

"upbraid!"

After a final roar of impotent rage, it completely lost its life and fell to the ground.

"Is it dead?" Chen Lu still looked at the demon on the ground with some vigilance.

"He's dead, but the experience has been added." Yu Shui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"call--"

Hearing this, Chen Lu sat down on the ground and put down the axe in his hand. After taking a breath, he kicked the demon's corpse. Feeling a lot of resistance from the soles of his feet, he sighed.

"This thing is really hard to kill."

"High defense and high health."

Yu Shui also squatted down beside the demon's corpse and touched its scales with his hand.

"This should just be an inferior demon."

"The leader said this thing has the combat power of a normal adult. Isn't that a bit too much of a compliment to normal people?"

"I guess it refers to adults wearing armor and holding weapons." Chen Lu looked at the sharp hand knife of the demon.

"And its attack power is not low. If we hadn't experienced cold weapon combat in the game, we would have been killed by it in just two encounters."

"Yeah." Yu Shui nodded. "Inferior demons are so difficult to deal with. I wonder what low-level demons are like."

"I guess if we beat us now, we'll just have to sprint forward and then..."

"Crack..."

"there's noise!"

Hearing a similar sound, they both stood up at the same time.

"Crack..."

"Crack..."

Gradually, the sounds came from all around, becoming more and more numerous and closer, and the two had an ominous premonition.

"Can you tell how many there are?" Chen Lu asked without turning her head.

“I can’t tell.”

"Then what to do."

"It's just a life, give it to me!"

------

"Ok?"

Tang Yi, who was slowly moving forward in the forest, suddenly felt a surge of 'energy' coming from nowhere into his body, and the 'door' that had shackled him for a long time suddenly loosened.

He immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, holding his breath and concentrating.

boom--

Not long after, as the "qi" in Tang Yi's body officially broke through the critical value, the "door" was instantly broken, and then more "qi" rushed into his body like a whale swallowing, seeping into his muscles and bones.

His body began to transform rapidly.

"Intermediate Yellow Rank, a breakthrough just like that?"

Even though he had been mentally prepared when he saw the mission notes, Tang Yi still felt a little complicated because his cultivation had been stuck for half a year.

Never mind, relying on players isn't such a bad thing.

"call--"

Tang Yi opened his eyes again and slowly exhaled.

As he stood up, he opened the chat group, only to find that the last speech by Yu Shui and the other two was two hours ago.

So did they just run off to kill monsters?

Or has a demon run into the house?

Then he took another look at the instrument status displayed in the system and found that none of the five resurrection chambers were activated, which meant that they were at least still alive.

Moreover, he is not far from the gathering place now and will probably arrive in ten minutes.

"I don't know what's going on at home..."

Tang Yi left the gathering place when Yu Shui and the others started making axes.

He first crossed the Yunshan River, and then carefully headed towards the place Dr. Cai mentioned. After walking for about two hours, he picked up Dr. Cai's bamboo basket and confirmed that the direction was correct.

But he only met an inferior demon along the way.

Logically speaking, inferior demons have very poor discipline.

If there really were hundreds of demons gathered in the place that Doctor Cai described, then the number of demons he encountered along the way should have been increasing.

After that, he walked forward for about an hour, but still found nothing. The sky gradually darkened. Because the forest at night is the home of demons, he had to stop and choose to return.

Then there was an inexplicable breakthrough here.

"We still have to hurry back and take a look."

Tang Yi put the medicine basket on his back again, picked up the iron sword, and quickened his pace.

It wasn't long before the small hut at the gathering place came into his sight.

Judging from the surrounding environment and the appearance of the wooden house, no fighting took place here.

And the person he was most worried about, Xia Keyu, was squatting on a big rock by the river, washing the dishes for the evening.

After seeing Tang Yi's figure from afar, she immediately waved happily, and then her center of gravity suddenly became unstable, her feet slipped, and she almost fell off the stone.

After regaining her balance, the girl seemed to remember something. She immediately put the things in her hand aside and ran back to her simple kitchen.

When Tang Yi approached and saw Xia Keyu again, she had already come out with a bowl of steaming soup.

"This is the soup I just cooked. See if it suits your taste." The girl's voice was a little nervous and a little expectant.

Tang Yi carefully took the wooden bowl, took a sip of the soup under Xia Keyu's expectant gaze, then raised his head and began to savor it carefully.

The hair of the girl in front of me swayed gently in the night breeze, and the hot steam rising from the soup was blown into several light arcs by the wind.

"The craftsmanship is very good." Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Well, that's good." The girl nodded with a smile, put her hands behind her back, and her steps became much lighter.

The two walked back to the hut one after the other. Tang Yi put down the medicine basket behind him first, and then looked around the gathering place while drinking dinner.

There was a new pile of wood next to the house, and the woods in the distance clearly showed signs of being "destroyed" by players, but there was no sign of a single player.

"Keyu, do you know where they went?"

"Emm..." Xia Keyu sat opposite Tang Yi, with her elbows resting on her knees and her head supported by her hands.

"One of them said he was going to the surrounding area to collect some ingredients, but I'm not sure about the other two."

At this point, Xia Keyu realized that Tang Yi actually brought back a bamboo basket. She immediately stood up and walked around Tang Yi to take a look, and found that it was filled with plants that she didn't recognize.

"This should be Doctor Cai's medicine basket. When he comes tomorrow, you can give it to him." Tang Yi explained before Xia Keyu asked.

"Ah, then Doctor Cai will definitely be very happy when he knows that the medicine basket has been found."

Xia Keyu first raised her head in surprise, then happily moved the medicine basket into the house.

And just at this time, new message finally appeared in the chat group.

Chapter 11 Hidden Mission

Yu Wenbobo: @Phosphorus Pentoxide, help! Please help speed up the resurrection chamber!

Morning Dew Bobo: @Phosphorus Pentoxide, hurry up! Urgent! Urgent!

Phosphorus pentoxide:? ?

Phosphorus Pentoxide: You guys are dead? Are you that bad?

Yu Wenbobo: The situation is a bit complicated. Please revive us first, and we will explain it to you in detail later.

Phosphorus Pentoxide: Speechless.JPG

Phosphorus pentoxide: Wait a minute, I'm not in the gathering place now.

After replying to the message, Oxygen closed the group chat, then bent down, picked up the food he had collected along the way, and started walking towards the gathering place.

After returning to the simple kitchen next to the cabin and handing the ingredients to Xia Keyu, she quickly walked to the five resurrection chambers not far away.

Phosphorus pentoxide: @虞文波波@晨露波波, which two resurrection chambers are you from?

Yu Wenbobo: I am the first one.

Chenlu Bobo: I am the third one.

Based on what the two said, Oxygen found the corresponding resurrection warehouse, and then transferred 16 alliance coins to Chen Lu and 17 alliance coins to Yu Shui.

Because they had earned 100 from chopping trees before, and the three of them couldn't divide it equally, they simply gave 34 to Chen Lu who offered the method of making a stone axe, and then gave 33 each to Yu Shui and Yue Yue.

Yes, this is the value of knowledge!

About a minute later, the two resurrection chambers opened, and Yu Shui and Chen Lu were immediately revived with full health.

"How did you die? Didn't you fight any monsters?"

Looking at the two people who couldn't wait to breathe fresh air, Oxygen was still a little confused.

She remembered that these two people were not that bad.

"Of course we did," Chen Lu explained immediately, "We even killed one!"

"Killed the monster? Then did you level up?" Oxygen blinked.

"The experience points have increased by half." Yu Shui spread his hands. "If I kill it alone, I should be able to directly reach level 2."

"Then how did you die?" Oxygen asked curiously.

"We must have fought for too long, which attracted the attention of other monsters. In the end, more than a dozen of them surrounded us at once, and our axes were blunt, so we died." Yu Shui briefly described the process.

"Wait, something seems wrong."

As he spoke, Yu Shui seemed to realize something. He frowned and recalled what happened not long ago, then turned around and looked at the two people in front of him.

"I suddenly have a guess."

"What guess?"

Chen Lu and Oxygen were obviously very interested in Yu Shui's discovery.

Because Yu Shui was a professional player before and was also the commander of the team, when they played games with Yu Shui privately, whether it was "League of Legends" or other games, they were used to not using their brains and just being Yu Shui's sand soldiers.

Yu Shui is also very powerful. During PVP, his commands are often steady and ruthless, and he can defeat the enemy with one blow.

When playing PVE, if he encounters a puzzle or a stuck situation, he can quickly find clues and successfully break through the situation.

"Chen Lu should have noticed that the dozen or so demons that besieged us arrived almost at the same time. This means that they were not scattered in various places at the beginning, but were always together." Yu Shui looked at Chen Lu first.

"What does this mean?" Chen Lu blinked.

"There are many monsters gathering near the Novice Village. What are they usually like?" Yu Shui tried to guide.

Oxygen and Chenlu blinked, then shook their heads together.

"..."

Yu Shui pressed his forehead helplessly and could only continue speaking himself.

"That means there must be something there!"

"And I suspect that's probably where the hidden quest for the Novice Village is."
