Yan Wei's knife was so unhesitating that Yan Mingguang, who let him hold the knife, was stunned for a moment.
In an instant, the bright white blade was stained with a layer of blood red, and the scar on Yan Wei's arm suddenly bled, soaking the cuff of the windbreaker. The smell of blood spread in the air, and the crows of distant crows suddenly became far and near.
Yan Wei is not a person who is not afraid of pain, this knife cut decisively, really broke the skin, he subconsciously "hissed".
Yan Mingguang was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand and snatched the blood-stained blade from Yan Wei's hand, and without saying a word, he backhanded him to protect him in his arms. The blade in his hand was facing the direction where the crow was flying, and his usually cold voice was actually tinged with a little anger at this moment: "Treat the wound well, don't move around!"
He didn't ask Yan Wei why he did this.
Yan Wei was a little guilty for no reason by Yan Mingguang's tone.
Seeing that the crows were about to fly, he didn't have time to answer Yan Mingguang. He just touched the black ring lightly with his fingertips, and instantly took out a very ordinary bright flashlight from the storage column of the information panel.
The flashlight emits a condensed strong light, and the light beam soars into the sky, like a sharp blade piercing the night.
The raven black crows came from all directions, like the overturning night, they were split by the light beam at the moment of overwhelming - they surrounded the light beam, but never moved half a step forward!
The upper part of the labyrinth wall would not show any abnormalities, and even the light would be completely scattered, so that only people under the light could see it. But because of the crows surrounding it, the invisible light beam was very obvious.
The surrounding crows surrounded this beam of light, crowing endlessly. Yan Wei held the flashlight in one hand, and blood slowly flowed from the other arm. The blood soaked his clothes and slid down drop by drop, dripping vertically on the land and vegetation.
The corrosive blood immediately corroded a small area around Yan Wei's body, which was almost the size of a person standing.
Yan Wei turned to face the direction of the castle, held up the flashlight, and took a step forward regardless of the maze wall in front of him.
Sure enough, the dripping blood corroded the maze wall in front of him, opening a small path for only one person to pass through. But this road is not long, and there is another maze wall within a few steps ahead. Obviously, Yan Wei needs to go further and use blood to open the way forward.
With a conclusion in his mind, he turned his head and smiled at Yan Mingguang: "This is the hidden solution! But the road that can be opened by a person's blood can only be walked by one person. I will open the way in front of you, and you will follow along." Walk behind me on the road I drove out. Let's go first, and I will tell you what's going on while walking. "
The man glanced at the wound on his arm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and without a word, he cut his own arm with the dagger that was already stained with Yan Wei's blood.
Yan Wei was startled, the man took out something to treat the wound with his face unchanged, his movements were quick, and he treated Yan Wei's wound with gauze dipped in medicine in a moment. Afterwards, the man took the flashlight from Yan Wei, pulled him behind him, and said, "I'll drive it."
Yan Wei took a look at his wound that had been healed, opened his mouth, had no choice but to lift his feet, and walked straight forward along the path opened by Yan Mingguang's blood.
At the same time, he knocked on the walkie-talkie and said to Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou: "Lin Zhen, Yu Feizhou, no matter where you are now, don't hurt anyone. First, you can exchange for a flashlight at the mall on the information panel—ordinary ones will do. , as long as there is light. Then turn on the flashlight, open the way with your own blood dripping, and just go straight forward, anyway, blood can corrode the walls of the maze."
The way to hide is actually not difficult, but after a default solution has been given, the thinking of all players is immediately limited by the method of using other players to open the way, so they have no thought of hurting themselves at all. Even in this situation where everyone is a hunter and everyone is a prey, the first reaction of the players is to protect themselves from getting hurt, so it is naturally impossible to think of using themselves to open the way.
Why do players dare not use their own blood to open the way
Because once the bloody smell dissipates, the crows all over the mountains will rush up, no matter how powerful the player is, there is no way to resist so many human-eating crows at the same time. Even the man with the peaked cap who was a seeded player in the forty or so floors just now was eaten up by the crows.
But what if the crows don't flock around
As long as the crows don't come around to eat people, even if you don't need other people's blood, you only need to drip your own blood and walk in the direction of the castle, and you can reach the castle quickly within dozens of minutes.
Just now, Yan Mingguang told him that a group of seed players from various organizations have joined forces to capture other players as prey to jointly clear the way. But the higher the group goes, the slower the speed of opening the road, because the closer to the castle, the fewer crows, so the speed at which they eat human flesh will also slow down.
The difference between high and low is the castle.
From the outside, what distinguishes the castle from other places? It was the warm yellow light that was shining everywhere.
But if you just look at it this way, there may be something in the castle that repels crows, not necessarily lights. But just now, before Yan Mingguang came, in order to resist the tall man's attack, Yan Wei took out a moon wheel that emitted a pure white light, separating the space around him.
At that time, those crows didn't hit the invisible barrier, so they didn't get close to Yan Wei, but they bypassed Yan Wei's body before hitting the barrier. It is impossible for crows to have the ability to detect the existence of the barrier. What makes these crows move away naturally is not the barrier cut by the moon, but the light from the moon.
"Yu Feizhou is right. The theme of this castle is puppets. It is definitely not the best policy to use other players to pave the way, so don't kill people indirectly. Also, we must run with all our strength. We are now divided into three places, Three beams of light lit up. Although others couldn't see the light due to the limitation of the maze to the sky, they could see the crow attracted by the blood. It won't take long for someone to guess the answer from our answer. If we are slow , it’s easy to get out of hand.”
On the other end, Lin Zhen had already broken off all the fingers of that player. After hearing what Yan Wei said, he curled his lips, let go of his feet, and whispered to the player who was almost fainted from the pain: "Goodbye."
He followed what Yan Wei said, cut off his arm, held up the flashlight and ran straight towards the castle.
Three invisible light beams surrounded by crows soared into the sky, moving quickly towards the castle on the top of the mountain.
At a place far from the castle, in front of a large open space, a group of players stood together, watching helplessly as a "prey" in front of him was swallowed by a crow and shed a large piece of blood, pouring another large open space .
"What's that?" someone said.
Another person looked in the direction the person pointed, and saw a large number of crows flying in a place. These crows didn't hover in one place, but flew straight towards the castle, and there seemed to be a blank space in the middle where no crows approached.
Another person said: "There are also there!"
"There are also here!"
"Three? What's the matter with these crows?"
Ahead, a leading player sneered, completely ignoring the begging of the "prey" in his hand, the blade decisively cut the man's arm, and then threw the man forward, waiting for the crow to arrive.
He said: "As long as those crows don't hurt us, hey, time is running out, can you bastards move faster?"
The rest of the people heard the words and hurried to find new prey.
But the closer to the top, the fewer crows, and these people find their prey very quickly - there are quite a lot of players who are pulled in to die, but the speed of crows eating people is not fast. When they paved a road ahead, the place surrounded by three crows was already very close to the castle.
Among the group of cooperative players, the leader suddenly understood something was wrong.
"No, there are fewer crows as you go up, but why are these crows still flying straight towards the castle? It's like..."
It's like a guy who's running a super castle.
The people present all showed expressions of inquiry.
They were not too far away from the castle, and if they kept fighting like this, they should be within ten minutes. But these three groups of crows were about to fly to the edge of the castle in a few minutes, like players rushing to the castle.
player...
Someone suddenly realized: "That's not the crow flying to the castle at all! It's the person who was chased by the crow and ran to the castle!!!"
Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang arrived in front of the castle first.
When Yan Wei told Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou, he was already rushing to the castle, and Yan Mingguang was taking him with him, so they naturally arrived faster. And the moment they stopped at the gate of the castle, several groups of crows suddenly surrounded them not far away, exactly the same as when they rushed to the castle.
"It seems that they are not stupid," Yan Wei looked back. "We have seen another solution from us. The others are already close. I am afraid that other players who are still alive in a few minutes will be able to arrive."
Around, the crows that were following suddenly froze, and all circled outside the castle for a while before flying away.
Yan Wei put away the flashlight, took out the leftover materials that Yan Mingguang had bandaged him just now, and also picked up Yan Mingguang's bleeding arm, and helped the other party treat the wound carefully with gentle movements, saying :"Thank you."
Yan Mingguang did not speak.
They went forward together to the magnificent castle gate in front of them.
The gate of the castle was half open, and there were countless lights inside, but there seemed to be no one in sight.
Lou's prompt sounded in the minds of Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang at the same time: [Congratulations to the player who reached the puppet castle first and received rewards: body index 100, perception 130, points 300. ]
Yan Wei raised an eyebrow.
Is this... the horrible feedback of raising the building thirty floors up? Just such a small achievement at the beginning is actually more than the total rewards he received from previous dungeons.
The two glanced at each other, and before they could speak, a hoarse and deep voice came from the seemingly empty castle: "The guest... is here."
Before the words fell, a burst of regular footsteps sounded.
Yan Wei stood at the gate of the castle and looked in, and saw two rows of neatly paced figures walking towards them. These people are extremely fast, but they are so regular and neat that they are not human. But after a while, the two rows of figures had already arrived at the door, and completely opened the gate of the castle from both sides.
Yan Wei also saw clearly the people who opened the door.
Their faces were expressionless, their movements were stiff but powerful, and they were clearly not human puppets.
And Yan Wei saw a familiar face among these puppets.
The man in the peaked cap who was plotted to die by him.
