Gu Jiu steadied her body without slowing down. She stepped firmly on a ghost hand with each step and flew into the air. It seemed that those ghost hands were at her disposal, allowing her to move forward.
Wan Xingzhou's voice was getting closer and closer.
In this impenetrable dark world, eyes were a burden, so she simply closed her eyes and came to Wan Xingzhou relying only on the sound.
She took out a few paper objects and threw them out.
When the paper objects fall to the ground, they turn into giant paper animals, including paper frogs, paper rabbits, and paper tigers.
"Catch them!" she shouted at Wan Xingzhou.
Most of his body had sunk into the darkness below, with only his chest and abdomen remaining above. Wan Xingzhou grabbed the nearest paper frog in surprise and hugged it tightly.
With the paper frog as support, his body was finally no longer dragged down by the ghost hand.
He said to the others, "Hurry up and grab them, don't be pulled down."
Fearing that there would not be enough paper objects, Gu Jiu threw out several in succession. They grew as soon as they hit the ground and ran towards where the players were, providing support points for these players so that they could use the force to break free from the ghost hands that bound them.
The ghost hand reached out for the paper, trying to tear it into pieces and pull it down.
Unfortunately, the paper material is so huge that it cannot be pulled down in a short time.
Gu Jiu jumped onto a paper rabbit, identified the sound, swung out the Spirit Blade, and cut off the ghost hands that bound the players, allowing them to climb onto the paper object smoothly.
The players also took the opportunity to save themselves and break free from the ghost hand's grasp.
Finally, the players all climbed onto the paper objects.
"Follow me!" Gu Jiu said, throwing out several ropes for them to grab.
The paper object under his feet was already shaky and was about to be torn apart by the ghost hand.
Gu Jiu listened attentively, and after making sure that all the players here were holding on to the rope tightly, she jumped off the paper frog and stepped on the ghost hand on the ground again to rush out of the passage.
Gu Jiu pulled the group of people out of the passage like pulling a string of rice dumplings.
Although the players were exhausted, they did not dare to relax. Their desire to survive made them try their best to keep up with Gu Jiu. Even when they were scratched by the ghost hands, they did not make a sound and gritted their teeth to endure the pain all over their bodies.
Finally, Gu Jiu left the dark passage.
Behind her were eight players, each holding a rope in their hands. The rope pulled them out of the dark passage and also helped them keep their bodies steady as they walked in the dark.
Lao Hei and others came to support.
Suddenly, Li Jing shouted in surprise: "Ji Changxin, you are here!"
The young man named Ji Changxin was also very surprised. He threw away the rope in his hand and rushed towards him, gave him a hug, and said with a hearty smile: "I didn't expect you to be here too! Li Jing, I'm so happy to see that you are still alive and well!"
"Me too, I knew you were so tough that even God wouldn't take you away!"
The two partners who had reunited after a long separation simply hugged each other. Li Jing continued to rescue other players trapped in the darkness, while the others collapsed on the ground to rest.
They all had wounds from the ghosts' scratches, which were extremely painful. Each wound tested human endurance.
Gu Jiu endured the pain in his waist and looked at the string of "zongzi" he had rescued. When his eyes fell on a person, he was stunned.
"Brother Wu, you are here too?"
Wu Yang sat there somewhat exhausted, and greeted Gu Jiu weakly, "Gu Jiu, long time no see."
Gu Jiu stuffed a painkiller into his mouth, put a patch on the wound on his waist, and then distributed the medicine to them. He smiled and said, "It seems that I came at the right time. How did you get together?"
Wan Xingzhou grimaced in pain, gasping for air as he said, "I ran into Brother Wu the moment I came in yesterday. Luckily, Brother Wu saved me, otherwise I would have been killed by a ghost the moment I came in yesterday."
Gu Jiu looked at the scratches all over his face, was silent for a moment, took out some medicine and helped him treat the wounds.
Although these players were all trapped there just now, Wan Xingzhou's injuries looked more terrible than those of others, as if he would die in the next moment if he was not treated.
What an unlucky guy indeed.
The others also hurried to treat their injuries.
The eldest lady's method of treating the injury was neither gentle nor skillful. Wan Xingzhou cried out in pain and could not endure the kindness of this beauty.
"The fact that you have the strength to scream proves that nothing's wrong." Gu Jiu said gently.
Wan Xingzhou protested: "Screaming is a way of venting. I'm in so much pain and need to vent it out - oh, be gentler!"
"I'm already in very good condition." Gu Jiu defended himself, "You are the first patient I treated. No one else has this honor."
Wan Xingzhou had tears in his eyes, so was he the eldest lady's first test subject
Hiss, the young lady is really rude! It doesn't match her gentle appearance at all.
"But Ah Ji is very good at it. His technique is very good and gentle." Gu Jiu put a waist pad on his waist. "Next time you meet Ah Ji, let him help you deal with it."
For a moment, Wan Xingzhou didn't know whether to complain about the eldest lady's words as if she wanted him to continue to get hurt, or to follow her in praising Lu Ji for being gentle.
The problem is that Lu Ji's gentleness is only towards the eldest lady. To others, it is as cold as a winter, and they are not destined to endure his gentleness.
While he was treating his injuries, Lao Hei and the others had already rescued all the players trapped in the passage.
A group of people quickly moved away from the passage, collapsed to rest not far away, and looked at the passage with awe and fear.
Lao Hei and the others came to treat the injured.
Fortunately, everyone brought various kinds of medicines. After all, players are risking their lives in the game world, and various medicines are indispensable.
After treating Wan Xingzhou's injuries, Gu Jiu looked at Wu Yang. He had already treated his own injuries and was sitting there to rest.
"Brother Wu, when did you become a C-level player?"
Wu Yang said: "About half a month ago."
"Brother Wu, weren't you sent here just after experiencing a C-level game?"
"Not really." Wu Yang said, "I have already experienced three C-level games."
Gu Jiu understood what he meant. He did not rest for ten days after leaving the game world each time before entering again. Instead, he rested for a few days before entering the game world again. Half a month allowed him to enter three game worlds in a row. This was the fourth C-level game world he had experienced.
No wonder Wu Yang was chosen to enter the Death Train world. This time, Zhutian Game will throw all the capable C-level players into it.
Wan Xingzhou entered the subway station at the 20th stop yesterday and took the train with Wu Yang to the first stop to catch the return train.
They got off at the thirteenth stop of the return train to rest.
Early this morning, they were chased by ghosts in the subway station and took the train all the way to the fifth stop.
"What happened to you just now? How did you get trapped in the pile of ghost hands?" Gu Ji asked puzzledly, looking up at the dark passage. He could feel a heart-pounding sense of danger just by looking at it.
Hearing this, the players who had just been rescued were all filled with anger.
"We encountered a group of hateful guys." Ji Changxin said sullenly, "These guys like to use other players as cannon fodder to explore the way. We were pushed in by them, and they took the opportunity to run away."
"It's a Pathfinder player." Lao Hei said affirmatively.
These players who like to use other players as bait and cannon fodder to explore the way are called "pathfinder players". They are the most hated by players. They act without scruples and have no bottom line. In their eyes, other players can be used. However, the game world stipulates that players cannot hurt each other. Even if they are mad at them, they can do nothing about it.
Gu Jiu suddenly realized that when they took the return train and passed through Station 17 yesterday, the players at the station who tried to get them off were the scouts.
There were nearly two hundred players on the bus originally, but unexpectedly there was a group of scouts hidden among them. Wan Xingzhou and others were caught off guard and were tricked by those scouts.
It can be said that it is very unlucky.
The wound on his body finally didn't hurt so much, and Wan Xingzhou was in the mood to ask, "Miss, did you meet Ah Ji?"
"Not yet." Gu Jiu sighed, "I thought I would meet Ah Ji first and then you..."
"I understand. I'm unlucky." Wan Xingzhou replied calmly, "But I met you earlier than Ah Ji. I'm lucky."
He originally thought he was going to die at this stop, but unexpectedly the young lady dropped from the sky and was simply his savior.
Wan Xingzhou suddenly felt a little proud. He thought that his luck was actually very good. He was able to survive every desperate situation and get help from noble people.
After understanding the situation, Gu Jiu and Lao Hei came to the dark passage again.
With the light in front of the passage, you can vaguely see the waving ghost hands inside, exuding a heart-pounding sense of danger. If the player is not careful and dives in, the consequence is that he will be dragged underground.
"Gu Jiu, what do you think?" Lao Hei asked.
Gu Jiu asked: "Do you want to try setting it on fire?"
Lao Hei: “…”
Although Lao Hei has been escaping on the train with his teammates, he has also tried to find clues to pass the level whenever he can.
He has always had a question: where did these ghosts come from, where did they appear from, and why did they wander around in trains and subway stations
Unfortunately, this problem still has no clue until now.
Lao Hei looked for flammable materials from the players present.
"I have lamp oil here." Wu Yang contributed some lamp oil, only a small bottle, about 50 milliliters.
Gu Jiu thought the lamp oil looked familiar. "Brother Wu, is this the lamp oil from Qingshan Village?"
Wu Yang nodded. After leaving the game world, he saw that the lamp oil was quite cheap and bought it.
Others also contributed some oils, including fish oil, vegetable oil, animal oil, and even an oil that looked like human fat, which was a bit disgusting.
The player who provided the fat oil explained, "This is ghost oil. It's what's left after ghosts are burned to death. One bottle costs 500 points. It's very expensive."
Seeing so many types of oil was an eye-opener for everyone.
As expected, there are all kinds of things in the gaming world, and you will become calm after seeing them enough.
Lao Hei and others poured various oils into the passage and set them on fire as soon as possible.
The small flame suddenly turned into a big fire, and the burning flames illuminated the darkness. The ghost hands that stretched out from the dark ground quickly retracted. Those ghost hands that did not retract immediately were stained with flames. They struggled and waved, as if trying to extinguish the fire on their hands.
Gu Jiu and others stood in front of the passage and watched this scene.
The firelight could only illuminate a small area, and the darkness farther away was still impenetrable. Even though the ghost hands were on fire, there was no change underground. It was as if there was a black hole with no bottom. The ghost hands drilled out of the black hole and tried to drag the creatures above down.
The most powerful one is ghost oil.
A spark can spread into a large area. It can be said that most of the ghost hands in the passage were burned by it.
The ghost hand gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared in the fire.
Finally, all the ghost hands on the ground disappeared, and the dark passage returned to normal. The tiled floor could be seen instead of bottomless darkness.
Gu Jiu walked over.
Her feet touched the hard floor, and the palpitating sense of danger was gone.
Lao Hei said disappointedly: "It disappeared so quickly, without giving us time to investigate."
As the ghost hands disappeared, the fifth station became safe.
Gu Jiu decided to rest here first.
"Miss, are you tired?" Wan Xingzhou asked, looking at her with some concern. "Is your waist okay?" He noticed the injury on her waist.
Gu Jiu sat against the wall with her legs crossed, "Don't worry, it's fine, I put on a waist patch." She patted her old waist. A woman's waist is so important, how can she not protect it well
Wan Xingzhou sat next to her, "Why don't you leave?"
Gu Jiu: "I want to wait for Ah Ji."
Wan Xingzhou had nothing to say.
