Xiao Lan carefully walked back along the path that he came.

The road underfoot was winding and twisting, and on both sides were deep pits with spikes that looked like a thorn-paved lair.

Even if the vision has returned to normal, walking through it will still make people feel terrified.

Finally, Xiao Lan walked to the door.

After stepping out of this tense and suffocating red room, he finally felt relieved.

But when he turned around again, he found that behind him was just an ordinary door that was indistinguishable from other rooms.

The red room disappeared out of thin air as if it had never existed.

Only the increased number of squares on the cover of the book suggests that this is not an illusion.

It seems that the location of such unusual rooms is not fixed, maybe they will only appear once, maybe they will switch between different spaces, or maybe each person can only enter once.

In short, at present, the possibility of Xiao Lan wanting to find the red room again is not high.

Probably to prevent players from repeatedly entering the same room to score points.

Really thoughtful, Mr. Crow.

Back in the corridor, Xiao Lan moved on, sharing his previous experience with Luo as a reference.

[In order to ensure that the game can be cleared, I guess there must be more than one room with such a room, and there may be more than one in each space]

【We can try to look for it】

Unexpectedly, Luo did not pay attention to the problem of the room at all, and his handwriting quickly appeared on the envelope:

[If there is a next time, I still hope that Mr. will break the bracelet and release my shadow to explore the way. It exists for this purpose]

Xiao Lan couldn't help but smile when she saw Luo's words:

[Sorry for worrying you, but I want to use it at the most critical time]

【I can't give you all the dangers】

I have to say, this feeling of being cared about and cared for is really good, no matter where you are, you are in constant contact with another person.

Lowe's reply came quickly:

【I wish I could stay by your side now】

Xiao Lan was about to reply, but suddenly felt an undisguised malice.

It was a kind of malice with greed and a strong devouring **, as if it was staring at the hyena waiting for an opportunity to devour its prey.

He calmly looked around.

The source of malice was an area three steps away in front of him. There was nothing unusual there, but his dangerous intuition told him that there must be some danger lurking there.

Goblin?

trap?

Or a player?

Before she could reply Luo, Xiao Lan put away the envelope and stopped involuntarily.

He studied it as if he was interested in the corridor wall in front of him, and quietly took a few steps back by observing.

Following Xiao Lan's actions, the maliciousness from the front grew stronger.

It seems that this is not a simple trap, that existence will lock on the target, and it is locking on Xiao Lan at the moment.

The two sides were at a stalemate for the time being.

Xiao Lan stopped moving forward, and the unknown guy in front was unwilling to step back.

until a gust of wind blew.

It was a gust of wind that felt the most ordinary, like the kind that blows by the window every morning or afternoon.

Gentle, gentle, and non-aggressive.

But the atmosphere on both sides changed in an instant.

The ambusher seemed to be unwilling to wait any longer, and his murderous aura suddenly increased several times, and the invisible attack rushed towards Xiao Lan at an extremely high speed.

Xiao Lan was already on guard, and in an instant the [Bone of Dalit] appeared in his hands.

The pale bone stick swept forward, colliding with the attack coming towards him, making a crisp "ding" sound.

[Bone of Dalit] did not attack the opponent's body, but the figure of a fat man gradually appeared in the air.

It seems that his stealth can only be maintained when he is not attacking.

He wore a metal glove on his hand, dressed like a butcher.

The fat man didn't look very human anymore.

His face was covered with bulging blue veins, which divided his features into pieces.

The masseter muscles on both cheeks are abnormally developed, and the teeth seem to have been modified, intertwined like dogs, looking like an alienated beast.

The fat man stared at Xiao Lan with a greedy light in his eyes: "The guy who takes the physique strengthening route has just been promoted to the advanced level, right?"

Xiao Lan frowned, her face remained calm, but she was shocked in her heart——

How did this guy know?

He saw the guy on the opposite side sniffing in his direction: "It's so fragrant, you smell so fragrant, your flesh and blood are full of vitality, your brain must be delicious..."

As he said that, a large amount of saliva even dripped from his mouth that could not completely wrap his fangs.

As if in front of him was not a big living person, but a plate of fresh brain flowers placed beside the hot pot.

The taste is fresh and silky, and once you try it, you can't stop.

Xiao Lan, who was regarded as a brain flower, was not happy at all.

As we all know, there is only one brain in human beings, if you don't have it, you will fart.

From what this guy said, it was obvious that he wanted to eat Xiao Lan's brain, and he probably had some way to strengthen himself.

Or simply a pervert with pica.

The next moment, the fat man swooped towards him.

Unlike his fat and clumsy body, his movements were astonishingly fast, hitting him like a rhino that had been running wildly.

Xiao Lan's footsteps changed, and she dodged to the side in an instant, dodging the menacing blow.

According to the original speed of the fat man, he should have slammed into the wall of the corridor, but he twisted his body flexibly, turned his direction, and waved his fist towards Xiao Lan again.

This blow was beyond Xiao Lan's expectations. Before he had time to dodge, he decisively raised [Dalit's Bone] to block.

This time, the two sides had a solid head-on collision, and each other's hearts were shocked.

Xiao Lan was surprised that the opponent was not only agile and fast, but also that this guy had the same strength as him.

It seems that it is also an absolute powerhouse in melee combat.

The fat man was surprised by the power of Xiao Lan that did not match his appearance.

This is obviously just a guy who has just been promoted to the advanced field, how could he have such power.

Even...he has eaten countless brains to strengthen himself.

After the shock, he was even more excited: "Very good... The stronger you are, the better your brain will be."

After eating this person, he will definitely become stronger, and maybe he will be able to impact the contract.

He didn't want to go back to the real world for a long time.

In reality, he is just a butcher, but here he can be a high-level player that everyone envies.

He can live in a big house that he can't afford in his entire life, eat good things he didn't dare to think of before, there are countless people who want to flatter him, and there are countless women for him to choose from.

Except... the risk of death is a bit of a nuisance.

But as long as he can become a contract player, he can get more, and he doesn't even have to die. Isn't this the day of the gods?

As long as he can eat this kid's brain, he can get one step closer to the contract.

The fat man looked at Xiao Lan and cracked his fangs-filled mouth: "Hehehehehe...I like the guy who has potential but hasn't grown up yet."

With laughter, a heavy black hammer appeared in his hand.

The hammer head is huge, with sharp thorns on it. When it is swung, it brings a gust of wind, and it seems to be very powerful.

Xiao Lan looked at the [Dalit Bone] in his hand that looked like a broomstick: "..."

Damn, it looks so unimpressive at first glance.

The fat man has rushed over with a hammer.

Xiao Lan did not show weakness, and rushed forward to meet the opponent.

If the momentum is not enough, then be positive!

The two sides fought head-to-head, and no one wanted to show weakness.

This hammer is probably also a rare item. After fighting with the [Dalit Bone], it was not eroded by the Dalit flame.

Hammers and sticks clashed constantly, making a loud and harsh crash that echoed in the corridors.

The huge iron hammer mercilessly slammed into Xiao Lan's chest, as if to open a hole directly in his chest.

Xiao Lan dodged sideways.

At the same time, [Bone of Dalit] slammed the opponent's chin from a tricky angle.

This time it was a strong blow, and the deep purple flames instantly burned on his skin.

"Uh—" Not expecting such an attack, the fat man let out a painful groan.

After trying unsuccessfully to put out the fire, he also discovered that something was wrong with the flame.

The flame of Dalit, once contaminated, cannot be extinguished unless Xiao Lan takes the initiative to withdraw it.

This guy is also a ruthless man. He directly stretched out his hand and tore off a piece of his skin before the flames expanded, and then threw it on the ground.

His wounds were dripping with blood, and the red muscles and white tendons were exposed.

But the fat man was not afraid, and the injury made his eyes even more fierce.

As if berserk, his attack became more violent.

In his stormy attack, Xiao Lan flexibly dodged, and took the opportunity to leave him with a few wounds again.

Another hammer slammed into Xiao Lan's abdomen, as if he wanted to smash him into two pieces.

Xiao Lan jumped up on the wall, the stick in his hand switched to whip form, wrapped around the fat man's neck, and pulled him to a staggering shape.

The hammer fell heavily on the wall, but left no trace.

In Mingyue Pavilion, the crow does not allow anyone to destroy the story stage he built.

Xiao Lan took the opportunity to go around the opponent's back.

[Bone of Dalit] Switched its form again and changed into the sharpest bone blade.

Xiao Lan knew very well that this was a life-and-death battle.

Opposite him was a bloody executioner. He didn't think that after he relented and let go of this man, the other party would stop his hand out of gratitude, or even change for the better.

This man has indulged in the killing.

Sen Leng's bone blade pierced the fat man's body fiercely.

Xiao Lan's knife was very precise, and he chose the position of his heart, which is a common weakness of all human beings.

The blood-colored flowers bloomed on the broad back, and the place where the stamens rose up was a deep purple flame.

It seems that the outcome has been decided.

However, in the next instant, a sharp stabbing pain rose from Xiao Lan's waist.

He looked down and saw a hand holding a glass needle tube, which stabbed into the side of his waist fiercely.

At this moment, the liquid in the needle tube is empty.

A feeling of numbness and powerlessness was rushing out of Xiao Lan's body, as if the blood was gradually solidifying.

Xiao Lan raised her head and met the smiling face turned by the fat man: "Biochemical toxin XJ7921 produced by Biochemical Hunting Ground, how does it feel? Is the whole person almost unable to move?"

This guy seems to be a frontal onslaught type with five big and three rough, but the result is such a sinister method.

Taking advantage of the moment when Xiao Lan's movements were stagnant, he took advantage of the current posture to directly hit Xiao Lan's abdomen with the handle of the hammer.

The softest and most vulnerable place was attacked, Xiao Lan couldn't help coughing out a mouthful of blood.

As a non-chief, this time the damage reduction effect of [The Emperor's New Clothes 2.0] was not stimulated as expected.

Enduring the pain and body stiffness, Xiao Lan stepped back and distanced herself from the other party.

His movements have become sluggish, and the strength in his body is constantly draining, forcing him to lean against the wall to borrow strength.

Both of them are not in a good state at the moment.

Xiao Lan was poisoned, stiff and weak all over.

The fat man's chest was pierced, and a large amount of blood was gushing from the wound.

The fat man with blood on his heart stood up straight: "Don't worry, this toxin will not kill you, it will only make you unable to move for a period of time."

He smelled the blood in the air, but his expression became even more excited: "It's so fragrant... so fragrant blood... I can't help but want to eat your brain."

He reached out and touched the blood on his chest: "Haha, it doesn't matter, I can recover after eating your brain."

This is another effect of his ability, so he is never afraid of getting hurt.

Injury will weaken the vigilance of the opponent and become his best chance

Because of the injury, he can no longer swing his sledgehammer.

But it doesn't matter, the kid in front of him has been poisoned. Under such toxin, human blood will coagulate and the body will be stiff, but the consciousness will not disappear.

Those players who had been poisoned in the past all soberly felt that he opened their skulls and devoured their brains bit by bit.

Their fear is his most delicious seasoning.

The fat man walked towards Xiao Lan, his big fan-like hand stretched out to Xiao Lan's head, casting a shadow.

Just gently grab this head, and then it will become his delicious food, not only the enjoyment of the tip of the tongue, but also the elixir of healing, and... strength, the power of indulging people.

He couldn't wait.

The outstretched hand had already touched the soft hair on the top of Xiao Lan's head.

But it was difficult to go any further.

Xiao Lan, who was leaning against the wall and seemed to be barely able to support it, suddenly raised his arm, and the white bone blade in his hand pierced through his chin accurately and directly into his mind.

The fat, heavy body fell to the ground.

How could it be possible... Where did this kid get the power...

This was his last thought.

If Xiao Lan knew, he would tell him—

is poverty.

The increase in physical fitness brought about by poverty has made Xiao Lan far more resistant to toxins than ordinary people. Although he looked weak before, he actually had the strength to fight back.

It's just that he doesn't have too much strength, and he doesn't want to continue to spend it with the other party.

The ghost knows what kind of cards the opponent will have.

So he has been waiting, waiting for a moment when the situation can be reversed, and secretly weighing whether he needs to activate the skills.

Fortunately, the other party seems to be very confident in his poison, and he doesn't think much of Xiao Lan, a high-level player who has just been promoted, so Xiao Lan succeeded more easily than expected.

Xiao Lan glanced at the corpse on the ground and only glanced at it roughly.

Most of the player's things are in the storage space, and they will all disappear when the owner dies.

The most conspicuous sledgehammer next to it is a bound item that cannot be taken away at all, and will disappear with the reset of the game field.

Without time to delay, Xiao Lan quickly left the corridor, found a quiet room and opened the door.

I don't know how long the poison will last.

At this time, he had already felt his mind begin to dizzy.

It is a pity that the poor African chiefs do not have the tools to detoxify.

Hope that guy didn't lie, this poison is really just restricting movement for a period of time.

After all, he still has to eat it himself, so he shouldn't use lethal poison.

Xiao Lan leaned on the bed, resisting the heaviness that poured out of her body.

He remained vigilant against dangers that might arise from nowhere.

He didn't tell Luo that in this isolated environment, there was no use for the other party except to worry.

For a while, Xiao Lan felt a familiar aura around him.

He barely looked up, only to see a dark shadow.

It was a completely black shadow, without facial features and any details, but you could see a tall and straight figure and slender legs.

Even if it's just a shadow, this is what Xiao Lan is most familiar with.

He looked at his wrist.

Sure enough, the bracelet that had been there had disappeared.

As if sensing the weakness of Xiao Lan's state, Luo's shadow appeared automatically. Different from the weak and frail appearance he had seen before, this shadow was more solid and closer to the real body.

It seems that Luo already knows, Xiao Lan thought.

Shadow couldn't speak, he just took Xiao Lan's hand and put it on his lips.

Looks like a kiss.

In the next instant, after the slight pain of the fangs piercing the skin, Xiao Lan felt that the heaviness in her body was quickly fading away.

Luo's shadow is sucking the toxins out of his body.

After absorbing the toxin, the shadow became slightly thinner.

But he still sat beside Xiao Lan, looking like a guardian.

It was only then that Xiao Lan noticed that it was already dark. Looking at the moonlight outside the window, it seemed that it was already late at night.

Shadow means... let him rest?

Shadow stretched out his hand and pressed Xiao Lan's shoulder, let him lie down, and carefully covered the quilt.

Although Shadow just kept silent, Xiao Lan was able to automatically complete what Luo said.

He should have said, "It's time for bed, sir."

The exhaustion from the battle and the weakness caused by toxins really made Xiao Lan feel a little tired.

So he said to the shadow, "Good night."

Soon after, Xiao Lan fell asleep.

The shadow also quietly lay beside him.

As if feeling a familiar breath, Xiao Lan, who was asleep, subconsciously approached the shadow, and even stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the other's neck.

Black Shadow completely let Xiao Lan's movements go, and at first glance it looked like a couple resting.

In another space, Luo, who was walking alone in the corridor, quietly smiled at the corner of Luo's mouth.
