Chapter 1310: Chapter 414: Deceit Tower, Ghost Tower (3)
At this moment, Wen Xishu finally saw the monster’s face directly; beneath the scalp pierced with many chopsticks was a face as white as lime.
The face had no facial features, only a large character painted in fresh blood.
The monster hopped swiftly, almost instantly confronting its face directly, pushing the crimson character right up to Wen Xishu’s nose tip, reflecting clearly in his pupils.
But Wen Xishu remained unmoved, as if he hadn’t seen it, he seemed to become a sculpture.
However, Wen Xishu indeed rarely had such bizarre creatures close to his face; he must admit, this was a test of his courage.
The face-to-face confrontation lasted for a full ten seconds.
Some white, maggot-like things gradually crawled out of the monster’s pale face, like bugs that have bitten through the skin of an apple.
Just densely packed, making anyone feel nauseous looking at it.
Yet Wen Xishu still remained unmoved.
[You won, you played the game so well that you brought despair to everyone, congratulations, you now have fifteen points. You are currently the highest scoring of all.]
[Now, you all have a short time to rest.]
Pig the Third suddenly disappeared.
In front of Wen Xishu, the vast army of zombies was also gone.
A bonfire appeared in the center of the room.
Wen Xishu breathed a sigh of relief, this meant the first stage was passed, the game reached the second save point.
Wen Xishu’s legs were still a bit weak, he collapsed directly to the ground. To be honest, although he performed perfectly, the impact on his heart was not small.
This was the first time he saw such a monster. It was a very typical "Longxia-style" monster; in his view, its appearance was more creepy than those from the Lovecraftian style.
Reid said:
"You... you actually came through unscathed, did you guess it would happen like this? What did you just see?"
Wen Xishu shook his head and said:
"I don’t know what that was."
"But I always feel like I acquired some clues... did you hear it earlier? The sound of bells and hoarse chants?"
Reid nodded:
"Heard it, something about Deceit Tower, Ghost Gate... rejecting those even King Yama rejects."
Wen Xishu hmmed:
"Hmm, I suspect these are clues relating to the secrets of Pen Town."
Ghost Tower? Deceit Tower?
Wen Xishu always felt that the chants earlier weren’t for corpse herding but related to the secrets of Pen Town.
But now, he needs more clues to piece it together.
Sean gratefully said:
"Wen, thank you! Thank you!"
Wen Xishu said:
"You’re welcome, I just took a gamble. Did you notice what the voice mentioned, saying Pig the Third was famously stingy, why didn’t Pig the Third fix the door? Yet his home remained intact?"
"It indicates that touching Pig the Third’s possessions will only incur Pig the Third’s retaliation. We can’t kill the monsters here, but perhaps monsters can kill monsters."
"Pig the Third’s things can’t be touched, I just need to pretend to be Pig the Third’s ’object’."
"I stood by the door, tried to hold my breath as much as possible, to make myself look like a statue, betting that the outside monster wouldn’t dare have designs on Pig the Third’s things."
"It seems now, I bet right."
"Sometimes the answer to a problem is hidden within the problem itself."
Reid was full of admiration; he smacked his forehead and said:
"Why didn’t I notice these, whew! Luckily we didn’t send Sean... otherwise, we’d have sacrificed someone for nothing."
Yes, Sean didn’t deny this; had he gone, he definitely would have been scared, he might have been exposed.
It must be the bravest and most insightful one who goes.
"Don’t know how the desert and Martina are doing... Pig the Second and Pig Boss’s houses, no problem right?" Sean said.
Wen Xishu shook his head, he isn’t sure either. But probably... those two didn’t end well.
The bonfire didn’t burn for long, soon...
It flickered a few times and began to slowly extinguish.
Wen Xishu knew the next stage was coming. Wondering what kind of monster Pen Town would bring this time?
And... what kind of players does the mastermind behind Pen Town seek to filter?
[You suddenly feel very thirsty; do you want to go to the kitchen to find some water to drink?]
The prompt quickly appeared.
With the fall of the voice, Wen Xishu really felt very thirsty, so thirsty that if there was water now, he wouldn’t care if it was clean or not, he just wanted to drink a full ladle.
"So thirsty... really want to drink water..."
Sean couldn’t help but headed toward the kitchen. Just then, Wen Xishu seemed to hear... some sharp, cold laughter.
That was a woman’s laughter.
"Heh."
The laughter felt like a shard of ice falling suddenly from the sky, making one’s hair stand on end.
Wen Xishu looked at Reid:
"Did you hear it?"
Reid shook his head:
"Hear what? No way... so thirsty..."
Anti-Magic Value...
Reid doesn’t have an Anti-Magic Value, can’t perceive those things?
Wen Xishu had a bad premonition in his heart.
