chapter-841
Plop! Plop! Plop!
A clear, loud heartbeat came from The Breadman’s body, like the beating of drums.
Xiao Tan, who was running away with a breadstick in his hand, turned around when he heard the sound.
Feng bujue, who was following Wang Tanzhi from the spectator’s perspective, turned his gaze one second earlier than Xiao Tan.
"Pan …” The bread man’s voice suddenly became deep and heavy. He stood up from the ground and looked at Xiao Tan.”pan!”"What? You’re getting serious?” Xiao Tan answered with a serious face.
"Hey! How did you know?” Feng bujue was shocked.”Did you hear that from Pan Pan?”
"Papapa …” The bread-man let out a few short trembles that sounded like a sneer.”pan, pan, pan!”
"You … You actually have this kind of ability?” When Xiao Tan heard The Breadman’s words, his expression changed.
"No matter what his ability is, it’s nothing compared to your ability to translate bread!” When Feng bujue heard Xiao Tan’s words, he could not stop grumbling.
"Pan（ban）……pan（kai）!”The next second, the bread man raised his remaining left arm and shouted two syllables that sounded like
“kun Jie.”Moreover … It was obviously not just saying it. At that moment, an astonishing spiritual pressure erupted from its body, and its broken arm was instantly repaired by this power. Then, its body began to change. The color of the bread on its body darkened slightly, and a heat energy seeped out of its body.
This process lasted for about ten seconds before it ended. When it was over, the bread man looked at Xiao Tan and scoffed.
“pan……panpan!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong smell of burnt wheat bran, mixed with a complex and harmonious aroma of honey and milk, wafted over. Obviously …… After being heated up at high speed …… The bread man became even more delicious.
"F * ck …” Feng bujue looked at the transformation and roared,”what is the point of this transformation?!”
"I see … Because it’s more fluffy, it’s slightly bigger in size. It can also compress the heat inside the body to burn the enemy …” Xiao Tan read it out loud as he looked at the man.
"Burn your Grandpa! It’s even easier to cut after heating!” Feng bujue said gloomily,”why are you still paying attention to it? Why don’t you just take the bread and hand in the quest!”
On this point, Xiao Tan shared the same thought as brother Jue.
"But … You’re still not my match.” Xiao Tan turned to The Breadman and said,”I don’t want to hurt you anymore, so don’t come after me …” Then, he turned and ran.
"Pan？”The bread-man was stunned for a moment, then he shouted,”pan!” pan!”As he shouted, he started to chase after Xiao Tan, but his speed was not enough to catch up to Xiao Tan. Soon, he was left behind.
"Hmm … Even though our starting point is different, at least we made the right choice in the end …” Seeing that Xiao Tan had gotten rid of the monster, Feng bujue finally sighed in relief.
…………
On the other hand …
The four members of the cornfruit team were quite lucky. After chasing away a plot NPC, less than ten minutes later, they found another plot-related item in the ruins.
"This is …” Liu Sanfeng looked left and right before standing in front of a two-meter-tall stone tablet.
The stone was pure white, without any dirt or wear, as if time could not leave a mark on it.
On one side of the stone tablet, there was a pattern: In the middle of the picture was the image of a woman in a long dress. Her arms were crossed and she was hugging her shoulders. Around the woman was a circle of unknown, powder-like objects that hovered around her like a Halo. On the outside of the circle of sand, there were three eyeball-like objects carved on it. The pupils of each eyeball were looking in the opposite direction of the woman.
"Hmm …” Liu Sanfeng looked at the design and said thoughtfully,”from the brief introduction of the script, the woman on the tablet is very likely to be the ‘goddess’… And the three eyeballs are the ‘three eyes of the world’.
“Then … The content of this painting is …” Liu Sanfeng read,”the goddess is urging her own power to control the three eyes to look for something?”
After thinking for a while, he shook his head.”Forget it, there’s nothing to think about. It’s a waste of time.”
His approach was not wrong … Anyway, they had already offended the plot NPC just now, so it was better to stick to the strategy of
“ignoring the plot”.
If one was worried about gains and losses, one would be reluctant to part with them, and in the end, one would be burdened by them.
And so, Liu Sanfeng resolutely left the stone tablet and continued on his journey to find the members of the enemy team …
…………
At the same time-
"Hey, Ruoyu, quickly take a look at what’s going on.” Flowerroom, who was traveling with RUO Yu, seemed to have seen something interesting in the distance. She immediately called out to her teammate beside her and raised her hand to point into the distance.
"That’s …” RUO Yu looked in the direction that Hua Jian was pointing at and saw a strange shadow that was different from the other buildings.
She looked into the distance and quickly saw the clues.
"Hmm…..This statue remains, it seems a little strange.” RUO Yu read.
"Yeah … I also feel that something’s not right.”
“Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have become like this, right?” flower Jian asked.
The strange thing they were talking about was the statue’s condition …
The sculpture was of a valiant man wearing armor and a Cape. Judging from his face, he should be the
“King” in the opening CG.
Normally, the remains of such a statue would either be completely collapsed on the ground or be destroyed. Or, the base was still standing, but the top part of the base was damaged.
However, the human-shaped Eagle in front of RUO Yu and Hua Jian was standing at a strange angle …
The statue’s left thigh and right knee were all buried in the ground, and the part of it that was exposed formed an angle of nearly 45 degrees. The entire statue was slanted in the ground like the Leaning Tower of Pizza. It could also be said that it was like a toy soldier stuck in the sand by a child.
"Perhaps it’s caused by the sudden collapse and solidification of the ground below …” After a few seconds of observation, RUO Yu came up with a rather reliable deduction.
"Is it possible that it was grabbed by some kind of creature and forcefully inserted into the ground?” Flower asked.
"The statue itself was as big as a giant. Something that could hold it and stab it into the ground …” RUO Yu continued,”probably only the gods of this world could do that.”
"This is not wrong.” Hua Jian said.
"Hmm … That’s true.” RUO Yu muttered thoughtfully,”why don’t … We go over and take a look? There might be some kind of plot that can be triggered near the statue. ”
"Alright.” Flower immediately responded.
The four from Hell’s frontline obviously hadn’t completely ignored the development of the plot, so the two of them quickly made a decision and walked towards the statue.
…………
Then, he looked at little Ling …
So far, Ling’s search range had already exceeded the total range of all the other players.
Her efficiency was undoubtedly very high. In terms of scouting ability, even Feng bujue was miles behind her.
Speaking of which … Her data had not been listed in the previous article (because she had been killed by brother Jue at the beginning of the Super dimensional battle scenario), so it was time for her to be explained in detail.
[Laughing soul: level 46]
Title: [human weapon] title ability: [Berserk fortress]
43783100/46000000, skill points: 7187 game coins: 8082000

The effects of all the new items and skills will be written in this chapter. There is no need to list the item descriptions here. However, there were two items that needed to be mentioned. One was the vanguard shield.
This item was something Xiao Tan had gotten from the game of ‘horror nursery rhyme’. It was a perfect-grade defensive item that was bound to the player after equipping it. Since Xiao Tan already had the titanium Jinhua ham, and the effect of the two pieces of armor overlapped, he gave them to Xiao Ling.
The second was …
[Name: spirit vision Flare x5]
[Type: consumable]
[Rarity: excellent]
[Function: create a spiritual light explosion.]
[Note: after the [spirit vision] signal flare is released, it will accurately detonate at a distance of two hundred meters from the release point. It will also trigger a light gathering reaction of spiritual droplets that lasts for about ten seconds. Only those with a level D sorcery mastery or above can see this reaction.]
The spirit vision signal bullet was very small and looked like a grapeshot bullet. Moreover, it could be fired without a gun, making it a very convenient tool.
Just by looking at its attributes, one could tell that … This item was definitely not something that could be found in a shop.
In fact … It was
“invented” and
“made” by a player. That player was the master of workmanship,[matcha su], who had appeared in S1.
Now, she was doing very well in the game and had become the pillar of mountain river studio (which was the studio autumn zither was in). More than half of the studio’s income came from matcha su and her few assistants. As for the specific method … It was to
“collect materials, create items, and sell them at fixed prices.”
The workmanship specialization, which had always been regarded as an unpopular skill, welcomed its spring in the later stages after the difficult period of improvement. This was because after this mastery reached S-level, he could produce all sorts of things inside and outside the scenario. With the free exploration mode, it was much easier to do so.
In Thriller Paradise, the ‘in-scenario communication device’ had always been a very, very rare item. Even though some scenarios came with walkie-talkies, phones, and communication devices, these things … Either could not be taken out of the scenario, or they would become useless after they were taken out. Obviously, the game company was trying to limit the communication between the players in the scenario.
Therefore, things like the ‘signal flare’ would naturally sell well. Even though they could not be used in every script, it was always better to have a few on him. Moreover, there was going to be a
“group competition” soon, so similar products would definitely be popular. The price would probably increase soon …
…………
Alright, back to the story …
Forty minutes into the scenario, Ling, with her outstanding scouting ability, managed to find the traces left behind by the enemy team.
Although it was mentioned in the previous article … It was extremely difficult to find a single person or a group of people in such a large area of the White country. But
“difficult” didn’t mean that it was impossible …
Speaking of which … This was also the mistake of the four members of the cornfruit team. If they had not clashed with the black-robed old man who asked for the corn, their whereabouts would not have been exposed.
Unfortunately … They still made their move.
Once a battle had taken place, even if it was only for a very short period of time or a mere move, there would be some traces left behind.
Although Liu Sanfeng’s [Neptune Spear Pierce] was dissolved by the black-robed old man, his mana surged when he attacked, leaving deep footprints on the ground. In addition … Several of his teammates had also unconsciously left some footprints after entering the battle state, especially brother Weiwu … The traces left by that move were very obvious …
As for the members of the cornmeal team, they didn’t think of cleaning up the traces either … Because they were more agile when they weren’t in combat, they wouldn’t leave any footprints on the hard ground. Therefore, they had not considered this problem at all along the way.
Who would have thought that these seven or eight scattered traces would be the prelude to their team’s annihilation …
"Hehe … It’s new indeed …” After walking closer to observe the footprints, a smile appeared on Xiao Ling’s face.”One, two, three … All four are here, and …” She paced lightly in the area, her mind flashing.”…There was a battle here.”
Ling’s goggles, the Fisher’s eye, had heat detection and night vision, so she could see the residual heat. With her experience … It wasn’t hard to guess that a battle had happened here.
"Hmm … There are so few footprints. This means that the battle was very short. Either the victor was decided very quickly, or one of the sides escaped as soon as the battle began …” Little Ling read again.
"It’s most likely that one of them has escaped …” At this time, the ‘back spirit’ Feng bujue had already turned his gaze to Xiao Ling.(It is very easy to switch perspectives, and there is no time limit, so Feng bujue would often switch to the back of his teammates and look at the situation in several places at the same time.) He read it out loud with confidence,”if the winner is ‘decided’, then the loser will either be dead or injured, and there will be some blood on the ground … The enemy will not clean up the blood because those who can think of cleaning up the blood will definitely think of cleaning up the footprints. Of course … There is another possibility … The monster they were fighting had no hp, such as a bread man or something … This makes sense. They killed the monster and ate it, leaving behind this scene …”
Ling could not hear brother Jue’s reasoning, but she quickly came to the same conclusion.”Well … One of them escaped, right?” she didn’t dwell on this question for too long. Compared to what they had fought before, Ling was more interested in
“where they are now.”
"Should I release the signal flare … Or …” Ling thought for a few seconds and decided not to release it.
In the next five minutes, she quickly surveyed the surrounding area again. Then, she returned to the area with the footprints and carefully analyzed the direction and position of the footprints … Then, she headed in one direction …
…………
On the other hand …
"Uncle, here’s your bread.” Xiao Tan held the French baguette that he had cut off from the baguman and returned to the black-robed elder. He handed the baguette to the elder without hesitation.
"Kid, you really have a spirit of the contract …” Feng bujue saw this and could not help but Mutter to himself,”from the beginning to the end, it was just a verbal agreement. There was not even a single mission triggered, and the system did not give me any notifications … What if this old man runs away with the bread? What if he quickly swallowed the bread and immediately reneged on the debt? What if he hits his head with a loaf of bread and then lies on the ground to extort you for game coins?”
"Yes … Young man.” The black-robed elder accepted the bread, and his expression changed. After two seconds, he looked at Xiao Tan and asked,”what do you think of things that have already passed away?”
"If you’re referring to his childhood, then it shouldn’t have passed away yet.” Feng bujue joked around as he watched.
"Um … Can you be more specific?” Xiao Tan felt like the question was too broad and hard to answer, so he pressed on.
"For example … This country …” The black-robed elder continued.
Hearing that, Xiao Tan thought about it and replied,”I don’t know much about this country, but from what I know … I think the king brought this upon himself, and the people were implicated by him.”
"What?” The black-robed old man was suspicious.”Aren’t you from this country?”
The moment he asked that question, Feng bujue seemed to have understood something …
"No.” The unsuspecting Xiao Tan replied immediately.
"Hehe … I see. That’s great.” The black-robed elder laughed. He put the bread into his pocket and suddenly reached out to grab Xiao Tan.”Follow me …”
Before he finished, he had turned into a black light and flew into the sky with Xiao Tan. (To be continued.)
