Chapter Thirty-Three: Thirst for Power
Yang Ni and Cookie looked at each other and ran towards the door. When they passed the last blood, Yang Ni bent over and picked it up, stuffed it into the black backpack that Cookie was carrying, pulled her and ran out.
At this moment, Yang Ni suddenly discovered that except for the three little ghosts, there was a piece of red chain lying quietly on the ground where the cart was originally pushed away as the plasma retreated.
Yang Ni hesitated slightly, bent down and reached out to catch it. At the same time, a piece of information appeared in his mind:
"Hide props: Shackles of Time"
"Effect: Break a link in the time chain and create a time gap for hiding for 60 seconds. The user can control this time gap at will during the duration. Before the duration ends, the objects in the space must return to the original time series, otherwise they will be crushed by the collapsed time wall and will be lost in the time turbulence forever."
Yang Ni was a little confused, but knew that this seemed to be the prop dropped by the [Blood Draw] ghost servant, so he stuffed it into his pocket.
A group of four hurriedly left the hall.
Behind everyone, the human skin and bone lanterns that had already broken were like the three red ghosts before. All the fragments gradually recovered and formed strange lanterns again. Just waiting for new blood to be added, they could re-emitting the light to summon evil ghosts.
After this battle, Yang Ni, Cookie and Ma San went further, and Yang Ni's desire for power became stronger.
"If it is too weak, you can't even control your own destiny. Not to mention going back to the real world, if you don't have the power, you may die in the next moment." While rushing forward, Yang Ni meditated in his heart.
This feeling of not being able to control anything, and even holding the lives of himself and his friends in the hands of others is something that Yang Ni could never bear.
This battle can be said to be the closest Yang Ni has ever died since he entered the [Dead Land]. It can even be said that if Yang Ni had discovered the [Blood Draw] body by 2 seconds later, he would probably not have enough physical strength to launch an effective attack.
In the previous few battles, whether it was luck or combat instinct, Yang Ni defeated the strong with the weak. Although he was seriously injured, he had the power to fight. It was the first time that this time was full of powerlessness. This was not only a manifestation of insufficient strength, but also lack of combat experience.
"Fight, then survive, until I leave here, I have to become stronger." In the battle just now, Yang Ni was still the worst injured. Although Cookie and Ma San were dying, it was caused by excessive blood loss, and it was no longer a big deal after taking the blood exhaustion. However, Yang Ni had not yet left the old injury and had added new injuries, so he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the bandages in a short period of time.
Along the way, Ma San and the man with the glasses walked in front noisy, and before Cookie was exhausted, she was weak all over. This feeling of powerlessness had nothing to do with fatigue, and it was more like fatigue after a hangover and even more uncomfortable. Even after taking a mental recovery potion, it still did not improve, so she could only walk behind with Yang Ni, who was injured.
"This time I go back, I have to strengthen [cell vitality] no matter what. Always doing this is so hurting all over is not conducive to the battle endurance." Yang Ni thought to himself.
The four people were walking towards the depths of the city. According to Yang Ni's previous speculation, affected by the huge sounds made by the crowd when they besieged the [Bone-Cleaning] Pig Monster at the beginning, the ghosts who were originally wandering around the city were likely to gather near the entrance. The fact that they encountered two ghosts [Skinning] [Bone-Cleaning] one after another fully proved this point. Therefore, the more they walked deeper into the city, the safer they were in theory.
Another 5 minutes passed, and there was less than half an hour before the end of the game. Yang Ni and the other four found a hidden room to rest and drank some water. After all, the battle may happen at any time, so try to maintain the best condition.
"It's so quiet here, those ghosts probably can't find us." Cookie lowered her voice and asked carefully.
"Not necessarily, players can have props like real beast feathers. Is there any way for those ghosts to find us?" Yang Ni stood at the door and answered casually when he heard the cookie ask.
"There were 9 people who followed you before, what happened to you later?" Ma Sandeng wanted to know how many players were left in this game. If only he was left and those ghosts were concentrated on finding them, it would be very dangerous.
"My original intention is also good. Who knew that those guys were okay to fight the wind, and they all ran away when they could not be beaten." The man in glasses replied with a sad face. Then he counted one by one with his fingers: "I died when I beat the pighead monster, and I died when I beat the red ghost. Later, when I ran away, there was another unlucky guy who was caught up, that is, there were at most three people left besides us."
Yang Ni secretly stumbled his tongue. Five people died halfway through the game. The game of 5 Spades is indeed extremely difficult.
"Do we want to find them?" Cookie asked.
Yang Ni thought about it carefully, shook his head and explained, "It's better not to do it. This game is essentially a game of hide and seek. If you get together, it will easily attract the attention of the big green ghost. Before, when 12 of us were surrounded by the pig-headed man, the big green ghost arrived almost in a blink of an eye. The more people gathered together, the less safe it was."
"Then aren't we very dangerous now?" The man in glasses looked frightened. In fact, in terms of data strength alone, he is much stronger than Yang Ni, and he also has several life-saving props on him, but he has been completely scared by the ghost and lost the courage to fight. Now he is just thinking about hiding safely until the end of the game.
"Then you still have to follow us, why don't you leave quickly?" Ma Sanyu was still angry and walked over from the door, shouting fiercely at the man in glasses.
"That's not good. We must unite. Besides, I'm not a person who is unfaithful. Brother Yang saved me just now, so I have to repay my kindness." The man in glasses pointed at Yang Ni, smiling flatteringly, and used a reason he didn't believe it and made excuse him.
"Hmph!" Ma San didn't want to pay attention to him, so he snorted coldly and went to pay tribute to his lost first kiss.
Yang Ni secretly thought in his mind that if he had guessed well before, then there were still two ghosts left. In addition to the big green-faced ghost, there should be one [Heart-Gouncing] left. Two ghosts were looking for 7 people, and the range here was very large, so he still had a chance to win. If it really doesn't work, Yang Ni had another more vicious way, but he wouldn't use it until he had no choice but to look at the man in glasses.
The man with glasses fell into an ice cave and was trembling all over. He now regrets using the "Teleporting Eye".
After resting for a few more minutes, everyone decided to continue heading deep into the village, which is close to the center and has good transportation, but it is still not very safe.
So they packed up their luggage and this time they led Yang Ni, and everyone walked forward carefully. The light was even darker at this time, and the dim corridor was like a monster with bloody mouths, swallowing these tiny humans into the front called Unknown.
