At daybreak, most of the players in the tavern chose to get up.
They did not rest well last night, mainly because the soundproofing of the pub was too poor. Several pairs of enthusiastic Western players were tossing and turning in the room. The creaking sound of the shaking bed lasted for most of the night, making people want to cover their ears.
In addition to the players who were enthusiastic for most of the night, there were also the roars of monsters, which were particularly disturbing in the dead of night.
It would be strange if you could sleep in such an environment.
Although it is okay for players to not sleep for a few days, their spirits will definitely not be as full as sufficient sleep.
Chai Yingying opened her lifeless eyes and looked at the radiant Miss, "Miss, did you hear any noise last night?"
Gu Jiu: "What sound?"
Chai Yingying looked at her, then at Lu Ji, and sighed, "Forget it, single people shouldn't ask this question."
There was so much noise in the pub last night that she couldn't tell which room the noise came from. She felt like there was noise in many rooms.
The no longer innocent Lu Ji instantly understood what she meant. He lowered his eyes and leaned towards Gu Jiu.
In fact, after returning to the room last night, the eldest lady fell asleep after rubbing her ears for a while. Lu Ji covered her ears all night, so she slept very soundly.
It was not as erotic as Chai Yingying had imagined.
The four of them came to the lobby of the tavern.
The proprietor was not at the counter, and the door of the pub was open, as if it had not been closed all night.
It was early in the morning and there were not many people in the tavern hall. Most of them were Eastern players. There were only two Western players standing in front of the door, looking out.
"Gu Jiu." Seeing Gu Jiu, Huo Ting stood up and walked over, staring at her with a pair of eyes, "I want to talk to you."
Lu Ji subconsciously held Gu Jiu's hand tightly.
He didn't have much hostility towards Huo Ting. After all, Gu Jiu's attitude was clear. This man was so pitiful that he couldn't even be considered a love rival. But based on the natural possessiveness of males, he still didn't like anyone coveting his girlfriend.
What's more, Huo Ting knew Gu Jiu earlier than him and was involved in Gu Jiu's past.
This is something he cannot compare to.
Gu Jiu smiled at Huo Ting and said, "Let's talk later. There will be plenty of time after we leave the game world."
Although Huo Ting knew that she was right, he was holding something in his heart, "I think now."
"Are you sure you want to stay here?" Gu Jiu asked.
Hotting paused and looked at the tavern. The tavern was small, and with the player's keen hearing, there was no place for the two of them to chat. He also didn't like talking about certain things with Gu Jiu in public.
In the end, Huo Ting could only say forget it.
Chen Zhiru, who had been staring at them, breathed a sigh of relief, followed Huo Ting closely, and glared at Gu Jiu secretly.
Gu Jiu looked over and said with a smile, "Why are you staring at me? If you stare at me again, I'll dig out your eyes."
She used an extremely gentle tone to say this brutal threat, which did not make people feel that she was vicious, but rather sounded like a coquettish tone, so no one present took it as a threat.
Only Chen Zhiru knew that she was serious. If she really fell into the hands of this young lady, she would not be polite at all. Instead, she would torture people to death. Before she was not a player, she could torture people. Now that she has become a player and has the means of a player, it is unknown what she will do.
Chen Zhiru's face was a little stiff, and he turned to Huo Ting and said, "Brother Ting, look at her!"
She wanted Huo Ting to recognize Gu Jiu's true vicious face.
"If you don't tease her, she won't say such things." Huo Ting said as a matter of course, "You don't have to take it to heart. Players can't attack each other. She won't really dig out your eyes."
Chen Zhiru: “…” Damn, this blind bastard deserves to be heartbroken!
Gu Jiu and the others had breakfast first.
After breakfast, it was only eight o'clock in the morning.
Other players appeared in the lobby on the first floor one after another, observing the thick fog outside. Some of the more skilled and daring ones decided to go out and check the situation in the fog.
Among them is the Western player named Odinson.
Odinson should be very famous among Western players. After he announced his name yesterday, Mina and others were quite enthusiastic about him.
"Gu, you guys want to go out?"
Mina, who had just arrived at the hall, saw Gu Jiu and Lu Ji preparing to go out, and hurriedly stopped them, "It's dangerous to go out now, why not wait until after eleven o'clock? If you encounter monsters by then, as long as you wait until noon when the fog dissipates, the monsters will also disappear. It's safer this way."
"This is indeed a good idea." Gu Jiu said with a smile, "But now we are just going to take a look around. If we encounter monsters, we can retreat to the tavern in time."
Mina said nothing more and waved goodbye to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu and three others left the tavern.
Huo Ting, Chen Zhiru and others also went out.
Huo Ting wanted to follow Gu Jiu and the others, after all, the monsters in the thick fog were very powerful, and there was safety in numbers. More importantly, he was afraid that something might happen to Gu Jiu.
In his impression, Gu Jiu has always been a delicate girl who would pant even when carrying something as heavy as a brick. Even if she became a player, he didn't think she was strong enough to fight monsters head-on.
It would have been fine if he didn’t know she was a player before, but now that he knows, his desire to protect her comes back and he can’t help but want to protect her.
Chen Zhiru knew very well that Huo Ting had a desire to protect Gu Jiu. Not only him, but many men would have this damn desire to protect Gu Jiu.
She really wanted to tell these blind men that this girl was not a delicate flower at all, but a man-eating queen of flowers.
Chen Zhiru felt jealous. She had a flamboyant look, and even if she tried hard to dress innocently, she could not be like Gu Jiu, who was born with a lovable temperament and was particularly popular with men.
But there are many blind men who just want to eat this kind of delicate beauty.
"Brother Ting, Gu Jiu was able to become a B-level player in just half a year, which proves that she is very capable." Chen Zhiru said against her will, "She doesn't need anyone to protect her."
At this point, she became even more sour.
When they were ordinary people, Gu Jiu could trample her under his feet.
Now that they are all players, Gu Jiu still seems to be able to easily trample her under his feet.
It took Chen Zhiru more than a year to finally be promoted to Class B, which was quite good considering her speed.
Ella Town was her fifth game to advance to the B-level field, and this was her effort to catch up with Huo Ting.
As for Gu Jiu, it has only been half a year, and I don’t know how she can be so fast. If no one helps her, I believe this is her strength. Even if Chen Zhiru doesn’t like Gu Jiu, she knows that Gu Jiu seems to have superior intelligence and self-confidence than ordinary people. She has a strong learning ability and it is easy for her to do anything.
Huo Ting said: "Let's take a look first."
No matter how rational a man is, he will lose his mind when he meets someone he likes. This is also commonly known as caring too much and getting confused. He didn't know how strong Gu Jiu was, so he planned to observe her first. If he was sure that she didn't need protection, he wouldn't do anything unnecessary.
After leaving the tavern, the ominous atmosphere lingering in the town became more and more obvious.
The player moves forward in thick fog.
As they walked, they observed the houses along the road.
Yesterday they were busy escaping, and because of the thick fog, they could not see clearly. After observing today, they found that many buildings in the town were no longer habitable. Some of them had collapsed, some had broken doors and windows, or the whole building had become dangerous.
Only those houses with a sprig of lush green grass hanging under their eaves were intact.
"Those should be the mist grass." Chai Yingying said, pointing to a house.
Every leaf of Misty Grass is as flawless as jade. From a distance, it looks like a jade carving, too beautiful to be real. No one can ignore its existence at a glance.
Players finally understood why the town residents were able to find the correct way to use the mist grass so quickly after the thick fog appeared.
Gu Jiu took a look and said, "Let's go to the east and take a look."
Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze had no objections. After they decided to form a team with Gu Jiu, they determined their positions in the team, with Gu Jiu as the leader and obeying her arrangements.
The four of them walked in front, and Huo Ting and the others followed behind.
Gu Jiu and his friends ignored the four people who followed them. The town was so small and the road was there, so they could go wherever they wanted. Moreover, Huo Ting and Gu Jiu knew each other and had some affection for each other, so it was okay to cooperate.
"Zhiru, should we cooperate with them?" asked Yang Bing, another female player in the team.
Chen Zhiru said coldly, "It depends on what Brother Ting means."
Yang Bing nodded and asked, "What is your relationship with that girl called Gu Jiu? Are you sisters? You don't look alike."
The word "not like" made Chen Zhiru's mouth droop.
She felt a little annoyed. Of course not. They were half-sisters and looked like their mother. They had nothing to do with the genes on their father's side. So Gu Jiu had the unique beauty of the Gu family, while she inherited her mother's gorgeous looks.
If you don’t know them, you wouldn’t even think of them as sisters.
Seeing her cold look, Yang Bing stopped asking questions and thought to herself that the relationship between these two sisters was really bad. Then, looking at Huo Ting's attitude towards Gu Jiu, it was no wonder that Chen Zhiru had been looking like a resentful woman since yesterday.
She sighed in her heart. If she were Huo Ting, she would probably like the elegant, beautiful and confident Gu Jiu more.
However, Chen Zhiru is a teammate with good strength, so Yang Bing still supports her and comforts her.
After walking for a while, I saw a black shadow appearing in the thick fog ahead.
At first the shadow was distorted, gradually taking shape in the fog, and finally turning into a three-meter-tall humanoid monster.
The monster roared and rushed towards them, bringing a gust of bloody wind. It swung its slender arms like insect limbs and hid its barbed tail behind it, attacking them unexpectedly.
The Hell Blood Whip wrapped around the sneak attacking tail.
Chai Yingying and Jiang Ze both held swords to block the monsters' attacks. Their knuckles were numb from the shock and they almost couldn't hold their weapons.
"Damn, this guy is so strong, he's almost as strong as the dean of studies!" Chai Yingying shouted. Whenever she thought about how many monsters like this there were, she wanted to curse her father.
Gu Jiu: "You guys try to stop it, I'll give it a try."
Lu Ji and Chai Yingying entangled the monster in great tacit understanding. Although it was the first time that Jiang Ze cooperated with them, he was a smart man. He knew Gu Jiu's abilities from Chai Yingying and had no doubt about her words.
Seeing the four people stopping the monster, the four people behind them hesitated.
"Brother Ting, do you want to go over and help them?" Yang Bing asked.
Huo Ting held the two axes in his hands, staring at them intently, and said in a deep voice: "No need, let's take a look first."
He had a sharp eye and could naturally tell that the four men still had some strength left, so he did not rush over rashly. At the same time, he also wanted to see how strong Gu Jiu was.
Even though he liked Gu Jiu, he didn't act like a male chauvinist and blindly decide to protect her.
After Lu Ji and the other two restrained the monster, Gu Jiu took the opportunity to rush forward.
She jumped up and punched the monster in the heart.
There was a crackling sound, and something seemed to break.
They looked closely and found cracks on the monster's chest. There was an extremely hard shell on its chest that protected the chest cavity, but at this time, the black shell actually cracked, revealing the scarlet flesh inside.
The players behind gasped.
Another male player in the team said: "My god, this young lady is really fierce."
They had fought with monsters yesterday and knew that these monsters were not only extremely powerful, but also had extremely hard bodies. It was difficult for props to leave marks on them, otherwise the players would not have been chased by them so badly.
But the young lady cracked its hard shell with one punch.
Did she awaken a special talent in strength
Chen Zhiru couldn't help but swallow her saliva secretly, and felt even more sad.
