592: Chapter 5: Weakness 592: Chapter 5: Weakness The rogue wielding dual daggers swiftly broke through to the back of the Minotaur using sneaking up while the warrior faced it head-on, then followed up with Fatal Strike and Poison Blade.
Finally, the archer, ‘African~No Dog Food Yesterday,’ shot an explosive arrow technique that directly blew off the Minotaur’s head.
When the massive body of the Minotaur fell to the ground, it meant this temporarily assembled team had gained another merit.
Meanwhile, under Qianxiu’s leadership, another Minotaur fell, taking almost the same amount of time as the trio over there.
As ‘War Song Gudazi’ and several others were in the middle of a gaming session, they couldn’t help but discuss in the game’s external voice chat room.
“This Knight’s skills are pretty impressive…”
“But isn’t there a hint of being a loner?”
“Everyone’s personality is different, and we don’t know them, so is it possible to get familiar immediately?
Deadpan Water was also tough to deal with when we first met, right?”
“Oh crap, how did I get dragged into this?”
“Guda Zi, do you think this Qianxiu is a veteran from the test area…
or a game insider?”
“He doesn’t seem to be pushing for in-game purchases; let’s observe a bit more…
I’ll chat with him first.”
While these individuals discussed outside the game, Qianxiu quietly observed the cooperation among Guda Zi’s group—since the game’s start, he had only teamed up twice, the first time being at the Novice Village dungeon, which ended in discord.
This was the second time.
pared to Overlord Paper Tiger and others, Guda Zi and this group clearly seemed much stronger, showing signs of having extensive experience in teamwork.
Qianxiu suspected that behind this team might be a small-scale studio.
‘War Song Gudazi’: “Qianxiu, there are too many people in this area; we can’t snatch enough monsters.
Our team’s ranking is over two hundred now; any thoughts?”
Qianxiu responded directly: “Eliminate higher-level monsters, break through these beginner groups on the front lines.
Skirt around through the woods over there, there should be more advanced monsters in the canyon.”
‘War Song Gudazi’ replied: “Are you sure?
There are attribute debuffs in the woods; forest-type monsters will have enhanced strength.
It’s not easy to get through and will take time.”
Qianxiu: “High risk, high reward.
If you can keep up, I know how to get through.”
This guy is indeed one of the test players!
‘War Song Gudazi’ immediately agreed: “Alright, let’s go!”
…
“Name?”
“Chen Liqun.”
In the general ward of the hospital, the doctor looked at the landlord uncle of the rented house, glanced at a test report, and spoke calmly: “Mr.
Chen, are you sure you have nothing to do with this patient?”
The landlord uncle quickly responded: “He’s just a tenant of mine, what relationship could we have…
Doctor, when will he e back to his senses?”
The doctor frowned and said: “His consciousness is very weak, even without any reaction.
But other than that, his body’s various indices are fairly normal…
though he is somewhat malnourished, it shouldn’t cause him to faint.”
The landlord uncle didn’t really understand, just wanted an answer: “So…
when will he e back to his senses?”
The doctor helplessly replied: “Honestly, I don’t know.
He might remain atose indefinitely.
Sudden a followed by persistent unconsciousness cases are not unheard of in the world.
It’s something medicine can’t explain right now.”
The landlord uncle quickly said: “Doctor, just to be clear, if he keeps lying here, I am not obliged!
Sending him here and doing all these checks has already cost me a lot!”
The doctor could only say: “Then Mr.
Chen, I suggest you quickly notify the patient’s relatives to take over.”
“Where am I supposed to find them!” The landlord uncle was a bit stumped: “This guy found the property online, rarely goes out, and I’ve never seen him have friends visiting or anything, just know his name and have a copy of his ID…
Alright, I’ll see what I can find.”
Speaking, the landlord uncle was full of gloom, cursing: “Kids these days, playing games until they’re atose, is it worth it?
Really don’t get it!”
But the doctor wouldn’t pay attention to the landlord uncle’s grumbling…
there was more work waiting for him in the hospital.
After seeing the doctor leave, the landlord uncle furrowed his brows, suddenly cursed softly at the scraggly, thin man on the hospital bed, “Why don’t you just die!
Useless alive, a burden even when lying down!”
…
…
“Haha!
We’ve really found it!
Qianxiu, you’re amazing!
This shortcut!”
After traversing the dark woods, the entrance to the valley appeared before them.
The makeshift team charged forward, soon making their way into the canyon.
On the road, they encountered some teams, seemingly from different places entering.
The important thing was that there were significantly fewer people farming monsters.
Thus, the team’s efficiency naturally improved greatly.
Watching the team’s ranking rise rapidly, everyone worked harder to slay monsters.
Qianxiu still couldn’t quite mesh well with Guda Zi’s group, or rather, he found it difficult to fit in with them.
But this didn’t impede his own progress.
Something felt missing.
Something missing…
Clearly, this feeling of being alive, this feeling of a body full of strength wasn’t something he had felt in a long, long time.
Intense flames spread all around, the activities causing his body temperature to rise, sweating profusely inside his armor, his heart beating fiercely, nerves taut from the slaughter, all of it crazily stimulating his senses.
Already fully familiar with his body…
So fast!
A fervor welled up from within, as though venting all the repressed feelings inside, Qianxiu forgot everything, almost feeling an urge to shout to the heavens!
The Treasured Sword in his hand cleaved through warm blood, and unknowingly, Qianxiu couldn’t hear the other players’ shouts, diving into the more advanced monster clusters!
Suddenly, a scream echoed in front of Qianxiu, just as the Treasured Sword in his hand severed a monster’s entire arm, and another skill seamlessly chained together!
The Treasured Sword, emitting faint golden light, wildly swept toward the monster’s neck—Qianxiu’s eyes suddenly widened.
Time seemed to freeze as blood spurted out, a head flew past his view—the flying head’s eyes stared at Qianxiu, unblinking.
This is…
human?
Human head?
It’s not a monster…
No no!
No, it’s a monster!
Qianxiu looked at the rolling human head on the ground, a chill penetrating his whole body—it was indeed marked as a monster side: cursed demonized soldier!
Nearby, all were demonized soldiers.
Their grayish skin, resembling freshly deceased ones, a total of eight, were now converging on Qianxiu.
Their eyes were particularly large, mouths agape, emitting mindless wailing.
They…
were even more terrifying than the more grotesque evil monsters depicted.
“Don’t e closer…”
Qianxiu instinctively stepped back, stepping right onto the head on the ground, causing his body to shudder.
These are just monsters…
not humans!
Not human…
none of them here are human!
Clenching the Treasured Sword in his hands tightly, Qianxiu suddenly realized his hands had begun trembling fiercely at some point.
Move…
move!!
His legs seemed to lose strength once again, Qianxiu couldn’t even step forward!
Eight demonized warriors raised their swords towards him.
