It was getting dark, and a thick fog that came from nowhere covered the small town of Ella.
The low houses in the town were looming in the fog. Occasionally, a few figures could be seen on the streets, but they soon disappeared hurriedly around the corner. In the distance, a few tall and twisted shadows could be vaguely seen. They appeared and disappeared from time to time, bringing an ominous atmosphere.
Several figures appeared in the thick fog.
“Is this the town of Ella?”
"What time is it?"
"Are you asking about the time on my watch or the current time in Ella?"
"Isn't that nonsense? Of course it's the time of Ella Town."
"Then I don't know. I just came in. How can I have time to adjust the time on my watch?"
… …
A group of people communicated with each other in a strange language while looking at the small town of Ella shrouded in thick fog.
The houses in the town of Ella are low and the streets are not wide. I don’t know if it’s because it’s still dark and the residents are all resting, making the whole town very quiet, as if there’s no one there.
Such silence actually makes people feel nervous.
Although several players seemed to be chatting casually, they were actually not letting down their guard against their surroundings.
Suddenly, a breeze mixed with wisps of fishy smell blew by, the fog in the air became thicker, and a sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Several players scattered from their original positions like arrows shot from a bow.
A black, insect-like object hit the place where the player had just stood, the ground broke, stones flew, and several stones brushed past the player's body. Before the player could stand firm, a black whip swept across unexpectedly, knocking one of the players away.
The players looked on in horror as the monster emerged from the fog.
It has a humanoid form, standing upright, nearly three meters tall, with pitch-black skin, limbs like the arthropods of some insects with barbs on them, and a barbed tail behind it, like a nimble snake, sneaking up on players in the fog.
The player who was knocked away by the tail fell to the ground. Through the torn clothes, one could see a very deep wound on his abdomen. If it weren't for the extremely strong physique of the B-level player, he would have died on the spot.
"What kind of monster is this?"
The players were horrified, but there was no time for them to figure out what was going on because the monster attacked them again.
The monster's limbs were very powerful, and it had a tail that would always attack the players when they weren't paying attention. A group of players were tossed around by it and soon became covered in wounds.
The players are feeling devastated right now.
There is usually a buffer period when one first enters the game world, but this time it is obviously different. They had not been in the game for five minutes when they encountered this horrible monster, and the monster was so powerful that the players could not deal with it at all.
A player threw a fire talisman at the monster. As soon as the fire talisman ignited a flame, it went out with a sizzle in the fog.
This is an intermediate fire talisman that can release a fire dragon, but the flame is only the size of a thumb and it goes out very quickly. Even the talisman turns into a gray talisman and loses its effect.
"It seems that talisman-type props are useless against it. Let's think of other ways."
Players used other props, including supernatural props, and then found that they were all swept away by the monster's tail. They used weapon props to block its attacking forelimbs, but with a clang, the terrible force almost knocked the weapon away. The weapon only scraped a layer of skin on its body, leaving shallow marks, and had no harm to these monsters at all.
In the end, all players are in despair.
What kind of monster is this
Just when the players were in despair, a short arrow pierced through the thick fog and pierced deeply into the monster's back.
The monster paused, let out an unwilling roar, and its body broke into pieces, turning into black mist and disappearing.
As the monster disappeared, all the players collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, their eyes fixed on the person walking out of the fog.
She is a tall and perfect woman, dressed neatly and exquisitely, with long hair tied high behind her head, revealing a soft and classical face, curved eyebrows, watery eyes, and tenderness, as if even the air has become gentle and peaceful.
This is undoubtedly a beauty.
She was holding a small crossbow in her hand, and she was the one who shot the arrow just now.
"Are you all right?"
Gu Jiu looked at several players, his eyes moving among them, but didn't see Lu Ji, and felt a little disappointed.
When I first entered the game world, I was alone. There was thick fog all around me and visibility was no more than a hundred meters. It was so quiet that it made me wonder if this town was a deserted one.
Until she heard the noise here, she quickly rushed over, observed for a while, and decided to take action after understanding the situation.
A female player with brown curly hair looked surprised and asked, "Are you a player too?"
Gu Jiu looked at her in surprise. He knew intellectually that she was speaking another strange language, but he somehow understood it.
She had some understanding in her mind.
The players of Zhutian Game come from different worlds with different languages and customs. When they become players, even if they speak different languages, players all have their own translators and can understand each other's language.
This also facilitates communication among players.
"Yes." Gu Jiu answered, looking at these people. They looked like Westerners, but their skin colors were different. There were white, black, yellow, and brown skins. Their facial features were deep, completely different from those of Oriental people.
"What did you use to kill that monster just now?"
Gu Jiu said slowly: "Of course it's an exorcism talisman."
Several people: “…”
Several players had very interesting expressions on their faces, which looked incredible.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, also finding it a little unbelievable. This was the first time she encountered non-Oriental players in the game world, but the performance of these players was a little weird.
There are many players in the Zhutian game world, but every time the main system arranges players to enter the game world, it will take into account the players' habits, and the game world they are sent to will also fit the world and customs they know. Therefore, when Gu Jiu enters so many game worlds, he meets yellow-skinned Oriental people, and everyone's language habits and customs are similar.
"Those monsters just now turned out to be demons?"
"No wonder other tools are useless against it, except the Exorcism Talisman."
"What should I do? In order to save points, I only bought two exorcism talismans. If there are many demons like this in Ella Town, they will not be enough."
"Oh, this is horrible!"
"… "
The players finally understood why there was no limit on the purchase of items in the main system this time. Although 500 points were indeed not expensive, most of the B-level players were poor, and not many players could afford to buy a dozen exorcism talismans at once.
Especially since Gu Jiu had to use an exorcism talisman to kill the monster just now. If there are still a lot of monsters in the town of Ella, the exorcism talismans would not be enough.
Because they had just entered the game world and did not have enough information, they did not think of using the exorcism talisman.
They thought that exorcism charms were used on cursed witches.
I didn’t know I would need it as soon as I came in.
Seeing their exaggerated expressions as if the sky was falling, Gu Jiu felt more and more that these Western players were different from Eastern players.
She checked the time and reminded, "It is now 3:15 pm in Ella Town. We'd better leave quickly and find a house we can enter, otherwise we might encounter the monster again."
Hearing this, several players did not dare to stay any longer and followed her with their wounded bodies.
"My name is Mina, what's your name?" the brown-haired female player introduced herself.
"Gu Jiu."
Others also introduced themselves.
The brown, burly, bald man said, "My name is Alva."
The flaxen-haired young man said, "My name is Allens."
Yellow-skinned male player: "Joey."
… …
Including Gu Jiu, there are six people in total.
Mina and the others looked at Gu Jiu curiously. They had seen many Oriental people in Wujie City, but there were few Oriental classical beauties as beautiful as Gu Jiu. Her whole body was full of mysterious charm from the East. When they saw her, they could imagine the distant and mysterious ancient Oriental country.
In their world, a certain distant Eastern country is indeed mysterious and full of attractive charm.
"Gu, how do you know the current time in Ella Town?" Mina asked curiously.
Gu Jiu: "There is a square where I came in. There is a huge clock on the square with the time on it. It was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon."
The five of them were a little envious. This guy was so lucky.
"How do you know it's three o'clock in the afternoon and not three o'clock in the morning?" Allens asked with a frown. He was a serious man and always treated everything in the game world with the utmost caution.
"Look at the sky." Gu Jiu said, "Although the fog is very thick, it should not be night. If it is night, the light will not be so bright."
Everyone looked at the sky and the town and felt that what she said made some sense.
It’s already three o’clock in the afternoon, and there’s still such thick fog. I don’t know why.
The six people walked in the thick fog, along the eaves, at a very fast speed.
As they walked they searched for a house that could provide them with shelter.
Based on the players' experience of completing tasks in the game world, if monsters appear in this town, there must be shelters. Those houses with closed doors don't need to be considered. What needs attention are those houses that are obviously inhabited.
A huge, twisted black shadow vaguely appeared in the fog, just like the monster just now, making the players so nervous that their hearts were about to explode.
Seeing that the black shadow was about to take shape, Gu Jiu made a quick decision and ran towards another street.
The other players had just arrived and were all injured, so they could only follow her instinctively. When they saw her running away, they naturally followed her.
After running for a while, they heard a strange low growl coming from behind them. Realizing it was the same monster as before, their nerves immediately tensed up.
The monster seemed to be chasing them.
"Hurry up!" Gu Jiu said to them, "There is a light ahead, let's go there quickly."
Mina and the others looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a faint light in the thick fog. The orange-yellow light was very obvious in the fog, like an indicator light in the fog, guiding the players forward.
A group of people ran towards the light.
The movement behind them was getting closer and closer. The players' faces were tense and sweat broke out on their foreheads. They didn't dare to look back and rushed over as fast as they could.
As they got closer, they gradually saw where the light was.
It was a tavern.
There was an oil lamp hanging outside the tavern, but the lampshade was covered in dirt, making the light dim.
The door of the tavern was wide open, as if inviting the players to enter.
The players had joyful smiles on their faces, and when the monsters chased them, they rushed in without thinking.
