Chapter 523 The Differences Between People
Ran Ran observed for a while and found that when the girl sang, a large number of insects that attacked them continuously would die every once in a interval is about ten seconds.
The five-person circle only needs to deal with the insects that pounce on them during the interval.
It seems that the five people in the outer circle are protecting the powerless girl in the inner circle, but in fact, that girl is the main output.
Singing can also kill monsters...
Ranran looked down at the rolling pin in his hand, not knowing what to feel for a moment.
Although the six people in front had the large-scale AOE killing weapon, the K-singing girl, there were too many insects. After killing one batch, another batch would immediately crawl out, and their physical strength was limited.
The girl defending in the outer circle was obviously overwhelmed. With a pale face, she used a long knife to kill a bug that almost drilled into her calf, and then continued to deal with the almost endless swarm of bugs that were swarming towards them.
If the situation continues, this defense circle will be broken.
Ran Ran looked around and found nothing useful. He glanced at the rolling pin in his hand and suddenly had an idea. He knocked hard on the gems inlaid on the ground.
The prompt sounded immediately.
"Trialist Ranran destroyed [Strange Gem]*1, gained points*1, survival points*1, [Broken Strange Gem]*8"
Breaking gems actually gives the same survival points as killing monsters? Does this mean...
In addition, Anzi is obviously unwilling to fight monsters. If survival points are essential, you can let him knock on them so that he can accumulate some.
Ranran's intuition told her that survival points were important and she should save them as much as possible, but now was not the time to do that.
Ran Ran took out the strange broken gems from the storage bag distributed by the Abyss, waited for a gap, and threw them at the girl in the middle of the circle.
“…cut off all my escape routes…Wuwuwu!” The girl covered her forehead with her hands.
The big man noticed that the singing had stopped again, and immediately shouted, "Don't stop, if you stop we'll all be doomed!"
The girl ignored the stone that flew towards her for no apparent reason and continued singing.
Ranran had no choice but to throw another one.
“Just like that… ah!”
Ranran hit her a little harder this time, and the girl's forehead turned slightly red.
The big man could hardly stand it anymore, "I said don't stop!"
The girl took advantage of the gap to say in grievance, "Something is hitting me."
"We have you surrounded, what's going on?" Before the big man could finish his words, Ranran had already thrown the broken gems in his hand onto his forehead.
Ran Ran didn't attack the five people in the outer circle at first, because he was afraid that they would be distracted and the defense circle would be destroyed, so he chose to take advantage of the gap to remind the girls in the circle, but the karaoke girl was a little slow.
She threw the stone at her twice and she didn't even think to look around in the direction of the stone, so Ranran had to attack the big man.
The moment the big man was hit, he immediately looked in the direction where Ranran was hiding, but he did not stop the movements of his hands.
Ran Ran narrowed his eyes, knowing that this was a man with rich combat experience.
The big man saw Ranran standing there and pointing at the ground. The large group of insects seemed to not see her and just passed by her and crawled straight towards them.
The big man looked in the direction her finger was pointing downwards, and there it was - a shadow!
In a flash, the big man understood.
He immediately observed the condition of the insects carefully, waiting for the best opportunity and speaking in a deep voice.
"I'll give you a hint later. Run to the shadowy place immediately! Don't have any doubts now. If you don't want to die, run away!"
Everyone was shocked and confused, but there was no time for them to hesitate.
A new round of ten seconds has arrived. A large number of insects died. The big man shouted: "Now!"
The six people rushed out like arrows, and they crushed many insects to death at their speed. Fortunately, the shadow was not far away from them.
They ran safely into the shadows before more bugs swarmed over them.
After the battle, everyone was already exhausted. As soon as they got a chance to relax, they immediately collapsed to the ground panting. The karaoke girl asked the big man weakly.
"Brother Li, how did you suddenly know that insects are afraid of shadows?" The big man called Brother Li came to his senses and remembered the girl who had just reminded him. He immediately looked in the direction of Ranran, but found that there was no one there.
Brother Li's tone was filled with relief as if he had survived a disaster, "I met a kind person."
After making sure that the six people had run to the shadow area, Ranran continued to move forward. She didn't have much time to waste, as everything in this world had to be decided quickly.
Just as one must first capture the leader to capture a thief, to solve the strange phenomenon of bugs crawling everywhere in the city, she needs to find the source of the bugs first.
Ran Ran walked against the direction where the large number of insects were crawling, and after a while he arrived in front of an extremely luxurious mansion, or it could be called a palace.
The building in front of him had only one floor, but it covered a very large area. The gate was tall and inlaid with many glittering gems. The door was not closed, and a large number of worms continuously poured out of it like a tide.
Ranran didn't want to delay for a moment, so she ran in directly.
So far, there was no danger. The sub-worms were much slower than hers, so even if she didn't hide in the shadows, she wouldn't be in danger of being entangled. If you ignore the constant "puffing" sound coming from the soles of her feet, she could be considered relaxed.
The reminder sounds in my mind kept ringing.
"Trialist Ranran killed 3 [Larvae] and obtained 3 points and 3 survival points."
"Trialist Ranran killed 2 [Larvae] and obtained 2 points and 2 survival points."
Ranran found it noisy, and the notification sound stopped silently by itself.
It is not known whether this prompt sound in her mind has anything to do with Yunkong, but it actually possesses a similar spirituality to Yunkong.
After entering the mansion, Ranran discovered that the ground was almost covered with gems, shining with dazzling brilliance. The roof was made of glass, and there was almost no shadow in sight, which forced her to keep running.
If she stopped, the larvae would instantly penetrate her body.
Along the way, in addition to countless larvae, she also saw many guards in iron armor.
They had no time to care about Ranran at all, because they had completely lost their human form at this time.
I saw the guards crawling quickly on the ground using their hands and feet, their heads sometimes tilted to the left and sometimes to the right, as if they were looking for food.
As expected, the people in this city can no longer be considered human beings, they are all monsters.
These monsters disguised themselves as humans at night to attract people into the city, and returned to their original forms during the day, which was roughly consistent with her speculation.
Ranran ran very fast, like a gust of wind, but she observed carefully and saw sticky saliva flowing out of the guards' mouths and dripping onto the ground.
Then, an astonishing scene occurred.
The floor that was originally just ordinary stone has become a gem!
So the gems she and Anzi saw on the road were not embedded at all, but were produced by the secretions of these monsters when they were hunting!
Ran Ran felt nauseous when she thought of the main road that was as beautiful as the Milky Way.
These monsters that look like humans are far more terrifying than those bugs.
Bugs are pure monsters that only act on their instincts.
But these monsters are not completely monsters, because at night, when the larvae are hatching, they can fully control their own bodies. At that time, they are human and have everything that humans have.
This would explain their efforts to obtain food.
The scent of flowers that mask the stench and the lively carnivals every night are all meant to attract people into the city.
This is not the instinct of a monster, but human wisdom.
It’s just that this human wisdom has been used in an evil way.
Moreover, the existence of humanity in monsters can explain the existence of people like the old woman.
If the old woman's human nature did not still exist, how could she resist the monster instinct in her body, persuade Ranran and the others to leave here, and do her best to protect them.
Under the bustling and grand night, everyone walking in this city has a human body, but some people have lost their humanity, while some are still holding on.
Ranran thought of the clean basement.
This was by no means the first time the old woman had done this.
