Three of them thought, luckily Ning Su wasn’t in this instance, otherwise this kid might have to run around again to collect food for Ning Su.
Apart from the players in the instance, all players in the entire base were guessing what kind of monster this was.
Except for those in this room, probably no one understood better than the players in the instance.
A combination of an animal and a plant. What could that be?
Ning Su stared at the increasingly numerous tentacles emerging from the thick fog, pondering.
The more tentacles there were, the faster they appeared, and the more players were killed or injured.
Death, in this instance, was tolerable; individual deaths in the individual and guild competitions only meant exiting the instance and failing the game.
Those players being swiftly dragged into the thick fog by the tentacles were mostly afraid of having serious injuries.
Many base players chose the perspective of the dragged players to quickly follow, but soon, the game screen went black.
The players died.
In this fierce round of attacks, more than a dozen players perished, and the gray mist returned to tranquility.
The fog seemed thicker, the moisture heavier.
Ning Su noticed that Ning Changfeng’s forehead was slightly damp.
In the dense mist, the distinct sound of wind passed by the ears, and the cawing of crows came from not far away.
Yet, the fog remained unmoved, thick as clouds, silent and deep.
Ning Changfeng’s hiking boots crunched on the dry leaves, making a “crackling” sound.
Su Wangsheng said, “The Human Pupa Master and the Vampire have joined forces. They’re ambushing players!”
Several people looked over.
This was an inevitable trend in competition instances.
Whoever survived to the end would have a high ranking. When the instance world didn’t expel players, the other contestants would do it themselves.
Even in individual competitions, players tend to team up until the very end.
Both the Human Pupa Master and the Vampire were experts of the Yongming Guild, so it wasn’t surprising that they teamed up.
The human pupae, resembling those brown tentacles in the mist, stretched their long necks and unexpectedly flew out of the fog, biting players’ necks and severing them.
The speed of the Vampire was terrifying; like a phantom, he shuttled through the dense fog, sucking the players’ blood.
Once bitten by him, one would turn into a dried corpse, and unfortunately, he was the fastest player on the entire base, impossible to escape from.
The two of them successively forced five players to withdraw from the competition.
The last of the five players, they didn’t allow him to die and quit the game. Vampire Hu Tian crouched on the ground, licking the blood seeping from his neck. “Too bad. If only this was Shi Tianzhu.”
Human Pupa Master curled her purple-red lips. “Hmm? Hahaha, isn’t Shi Tianzhu’s ranking going to drop to thirty?”
She suddenly got excited. “Hu Tian, let’s play a game?”
Vampire Hu Tian raised his head, his mouth full of the players’ bright red blood. “What game?”
Human Pupa Master: “Forget about any dungeons. Anyway, we won’t die. Don’t worry about our ranking either. Just focus on killing Shi Tianzhu with all our might.”
“Kill her out of the top ten and see how she’ll maintain her high status in the base afterward. Let’s see how those people from the Yinhua Guild boast, then.”
The vampire licked the blood from the corner of his lips. “Sounds interesting.”
Zhu Shuangshuang: “Isn’t this a bit too much?”
In the <Manman> dungeon, she really liked Shi Tianzhu, and because of Zhizhi, she favored Shi Tianzhu even more.
Upon hearing their self-destructive competition methods, which would harm others, it’s hard not to feel angry.
Ji Mingrui: “That’s how competitions are. In the early stages, everyone sticks together.”
“Now Shi Tianzhu also needs to find players from the Yinhua Guild or other people to cooperate. Otherwise, it’s very dangerous in this environment.”
Ling Xiao: “The Yongming Guild is about to gather soon.”
The four people’s gazes shifted back to the light screen on the left wall where Ling Xiao projected.
Ling Xiao chose the perspective of the Gu Witch, a Gu Witch with white hair sitting on a stone next to a tree, with countless bugs spreading out from him in all directions.
This instance of <Mist City> suited him very well.
In the thick, murky fog where daylight was unseen, these insects could help him navigate and also attract people to him.
Zhu Shuangshuang: “Shi Tianzhu has a Gu insect with her!”
When they looked over, that insect had already been burned to death by Shi Tianzhu, who immediately fled in the dense fog and disappeared on the spot.
But her general location should have been locked down.
Su Wangsheng said, “This instance is indeed suitable for the Yongming Guild.”
The Gu Witch’s insects would soon gather the players of the Yongming Guild. Among the 60 players, there were a total of 9 members of the Yongming Guild. One died in the recent killing, leaving 8 more.
As other players were still exploring, these eight top players might soon gather together.
Time was of the essence.
They quickly assemble, naturally not wasting time on low-level players, immediately going to kill top players like Ning Changfeng and Shi Tianzhu, who occupied high positions.
One person could not defeat them, and it’s very likely that three or five people would team up to kill one, which could force them out of the competition.
Many people were saying this in the barrage comments at this moment.
[The members of the Yongming Guild should first kill Shi Tianzhu, before she finds her guild mates.]
[This dungeon is too suitable for the Yongming Guild; this will be the Yongming Guild’s world.]
[The top ten will be blood-washed by the Yongming Guild again.]
[They always stick together, that’s why they occupy nearly half of the top ten players.]
Ning Su shook his head: “Shi Tianzhu is not running aimlessly.”
Ji Mingrui said, “You guys are underestimating big guilds like Yinhua Guild. How could they not have a way to meet up?”
Zhu Shuangshuang said, “Is Shi Tianzhu also looking for her guild mates? What method is she relying on? If the method is obvious, then that person is in danger, exposing their position to the enemy.”
Ning Su: “It should be the scent.”
The few of them were stunned.
Shi Tianzhu ran all the way. Her speed was very fast.
Although she didn’t have skill weapons that enhanced her body, every player in the base world knew that dungeons could temper one’s body, and Shi Tianzhu was a dungeon maniac, so one can imagine her physical fitness.
She could firmly hold one of the top three positions among players, not only because of her incredible summoning skills but also because of her comprehensive physical fitness, various skill weapons, rich dungeon and battle experience, and her calm and intelligent mind.
But it seemed her luck was a little off today.
Su Wangsheng shouted, “It’s too dangerous for her to run in the direction of the scent; the Human Pupa Master and the Vampire are nearby!”
His words had just fallen, and Shi Tianzhu stopped in her tracks.
Players could experience the immersive feeling of being in the dungeon world through the system, not only through hearing, but also through smell.
At the same time, players could adjust their perspective and angle to see a wider space.
But in this instance, no matter which perspective was used, even from a high vantage point, visibility was extremely low due to the thick gray fog.
As they got closer, they could faintly see two figures approaching.
Dad should show up and score some points with Mom 🤩
