Chapter 94(1/2)
Zhou Ran entered the desolate grave and cut many nettles with a dagger.
The small leaves are covered with sharp thorns. Once the tiny thorns penetrate into the skin, they will be rooted and ready to move in the flesh and blood. The skin occupied by the thorns gradually becomes red and swollen, and it becomes more and more painful when you cut nettles.
If this were to an ordinary person, it would be an extremely poor experience. Maybe I would never want to experience it for the second time in my life, but this is nothing to Zhou Ran after turning on the pain relief skill. She could only feel a slight numbness and it had no effect after adapting.
She cut the branches quietly and quickly, and the blood beads poured out and dripped on the ground with Zhou Ran's movements, dripping on the weedy grave, giving birth to pure white flowers.
The thrush couldn't help singing.
"My kind princess."
"She is defending the country with her own strength."
"I want to use my singing to let the whole world know that the kind princess is defending our country!"
Kind?
Zhou Ran bent the corners of her mouth.
The reason it sang like this is because the cute little bird doesn't know what the hidden mission is.
If it knew what Zhou Ran was planning now, it would definitely not sing like this, and might even be scared away.
Zhou Ran raised her head and looked at the thrush deeply, then raised her mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.
Thrush: "..." What's wrong with the neck a little cold?
After Zhou Ran finished cutting, her hands were covered with scars.
The sky slowly became gloomy, and the weeds-grown grave seemed particularly gloomy under the dark clouds. The vague sound of hungry wolf wailing came from all directions, and it was evening.
In such a harsh environment, Zhou Ran didn't plan to stay here anymore, so she carried the cut nettle on her body and returned to the cave.
As night fell, the bonfire ignited spontaneously, and the bright flames drove away the ready-to-go beast.
Today is the third day. Apart from understanding the hidden mission, no disturbances have occurred. Therefore, Zhou Ran was worried and quietly looked inside the cave.
Sure enough, there were a pair of faint green eyes that were shining with a greedy fierce light.
It was the beast that entered the cave early, waiting for its prey, that is, Zhou Ran, waiting for her to fall into the trap.
If you leave the cave, you will face the wild beasts in the entire forest. However, when you enter, the beast with a green light shining inside will immediately eat Zhou Ran into your stomach, and the classic dilemma arises.
Perhaps, this is the death threat today?
Zhou Ran looked around and found that there was no weapon to drive out the beast. She tried to pull the wood out of the fire, hoping to use it to drive away the beast.
But the game seemed to be about fighting against her. As long as Zhou Ran pulled the wood out of the wooden stand, the fire would be extinguished immediately. The thin wooden stick was stained with ashes, and the crisp texture could not function as expelling wild beasts...
But the game will not be designed to be a dead end, so there must be something she didn't expect.
Zhou Ran closed her eyes and thought for a while, searching for things she might have overlooked.
The soldier carried her into the car, the queen was jealous of the princess, the king abandoned her daughter, the brothers drove away the monkey who was provoking trouble, and the witch came to the entrance of the cave.
The soldiers, kings and brothers Zhou Ran have analyzed it carefully, but they cannot find any useful tips from them. In this way, only the witch has not analyzed it carefully.
There was actually nothing special about the witch's actions. If so, it was when Xiang Jiangming interrupted her. She deliberately stroked Zhou Ran's hand again, and hung the nettles on her body, stabbed Zhou Ran's back.
Zhou Ran remembered that the witch's rough hand was covered with wounds pierced by nettle, and the wound had scabs and turned into hard cocoons.
In other words, the witches will also be injured. These cocoons are intended to tell Zhou Ran that the witches will also be threatened by wild beasts, right?
Then how did she survive?
Suddenly, Zhou Ran remembered the witch's dress of nettles and the hint of deliberately dropping nettles on the back of her hand...
Zhou Ran gently raised her eyelids and said softly: "So that's how it is."
She found a way to break the dead end, blinked her eyes slowly, and then calmly inserted the wood back on the wooden rack. The wood returned to the wooden rack, and the flames became even stronger. She half-kneeled down, put down the nettle on her back, took out part of it and wrapped it around her body.
She carefully wrapped her arms, calves, and even her ankles, and made sure that she was protected by them before leaving to walk into the cave.
When the beast saw her coming in, it first showed a fierce light and was about to pounce on it. However, when it saw nettle, it trembled for a moment, and a look of fear appeared in its green eyes.
A small hint of pride flashed quickly through Zhou Ran's eyes.
She said softly: "It seems that I guessed it right."
The barrage stagnated for a second, and another fierce explosion.
[Sacrifice: Extremely, so amazing!!
User 555874: Absolute!
Starting late or not: Miss has such a good insight!
Leo: Damn, I've forgotten all this...
Luke: I forgot about it, too, if I were to go, this level would definitely be my dead end!
Abnormal: Extremely added one!!
Yiyi Guxing: This can be linked, the anchor’s observation ability is too strong!
Yu Jiujiu: No surprise, the anchor played the game directly after the bounty book. Did he see that king? They were called to be a temporary NPC.
User 5528747: Hahahaha, I know
User 2254: That's right, no surprise one added]
The beasts dared not challenge nettles, nor could they go out of the bonfire, so they could only lie down in a grievance until dawn.
It is a ferocious jackal, acting like a mighty man in the forest, only fearing fire and nettle. It has been used as an NPC in this dungeon for so long and has sent many players to the road, but this is the first time it has been blocked by players...
It wailed and fell to the ground with grievance.
Zhou Ran stopped looking at it, turned around and sat down on the soft feathers, recalling the hidden tasks that appeared on the screen this morning.
After Zhou Ran used Skill 3, a few lines of words immediately appeared on the big screen.
[You are the youngest prince in the palace, but the smartest prince, and the first prince to learn to use swords. Everyone thinks that eleven princes are in love, but you know, each of them covet the throne... Kill them and seize what should belong to you.]
Help the youngest prince seize the throne.
This is a new player's mission, and it is also a hidden mission for Zhou Ran, which requires the two players to complete together.
In fact, she had more or less guessed about the hidden task.
First of all, after last night's singing, Zhou Ran was almost certain that the new player was Xiang Jiangming.
Based on Zhou Ran’s understanding of him, Xiang Jiangming is a person who can tell the difference. Under the premise that the contact time between the two people is limited, he will not make unnecessary actions to disturb Zhou Ran’s thinking and judgment.
In other words, every move of Xiang Jiangming is meaningful.
The little brother was the first to rush in and hug her, which was different from the other swans, implying that he was a game player. Then, he stopped other brothers from coming to hug, and sang opposites with his brothers all the time later.
All these are making hints to Zhou Ran, and his mission direction is to confront his brothers.
As for wrapping her into the feathers, Zhou Ran thought that it should be to familiarize her with the smell of his feathers, just in case she messed up the order after getting the feathers, and she could also identify which one was his feathers.
What a smart president.
The cooperation has always been very pleasant.
Zhou Ran turned the feathers on her wrist, chuckled slightly, and then leaned against the rock wall.
But in fact, the most important argument is a witch's words.
"Your eleven brothers have been studying and practicing sword since childhood. They are the bravest princes in the palace. Everyone has the ability to annihilate the enemy country."
Everyone has the ability to annihilate the enemy country.
So, she just wanted to survive, why did she weave eleven nettle armor?
This itself is a bit contradictory, but after Zhou Ran saw the hidden mission, everything was clear.
All eleven swans will not survive, only one will wear armor and turn back into humans.
The night was completely dark and the bonfire became brighter and brighter.
Zhou Ran looked at the feathers wrapped around her wrist. The one on the top was the youngest brother, and the one closest to her wrist was the oldest brother.
Now, as long as she says a word, her oldest brother will die by a knife.
This is a bit cruel, but those are just NPCs, only the little brother is a living person. Zhou Ran leaned back gently, and her head was against the rock wall behind her, revealing her fair and slender neck.
Two thrushes fell beside her, singing a brisk song.
Zhou Ran looked up, reached out her hand, touched the bird's slippery feathers. The thrush saw the wound on Zhou Ran's hand and stopped singing with pain.
Suddenly, the system's cold prompt sounded in my mind.
[System prompt: Players in the same camp are being threatened]
[System prompt: Players in the same camp are being threatened]
At this moment, the thrush rubbed Zhou Ran's swollen fingers pity.
Zhou Ran frowned slightly: "It hurts."
As soon as he finished speaking, the feather closest to his wrist disappeared, and the remaining ten feathers were still wrapped around her wrist.
At this moment, in the distant sea, on the island where only one swan could land, a swan fell down, and blood stained its feathers red.
To be continued...
