Chapter 396: Probably ...... First impressions?
"Yo!
Strange shouts continued to come from the deep darkness that surrounded the empty field, and the ensuing invisible impact made the already shaky fire in the middle of the empty field even more moribund.
In the firelight, more than a dozen armed men and women armed with long and short knives or large archers, wearing uniform and wireless headphones, were on alert. They formed a sparse circle, facing out of the circle, their faces solemn and gloomy, as if they had encountered some insurmountable difficulty. Surrounded by them was a large red lantern floating in the air, the flickering light of the lantern propping up the hemispherical safe area for them.
But it looks like this safe zone won't last much longer.
Surrounded by darkness, these dozen fierce men and women are members of the Shinsengumi who are responsible for keeping the entire Oedo Ward safe and cleaning up the monsters that sneak into the neighborhood at night to hunt the inhabitants.
This armed group with retro names, retro costumes, and even retro weapons is a sword bow and arrow with a retro name, a corpse of swords, bows and arrows, and tens of thousands of ordinary people who have gained various superpowers under the illumination of the ocean of light, and tens of thousands of ordinary people provide them with logistics services. Their backers include the surviving chaebols, the authorities, and some foreign powers.
And now this team is escorting a certain 'treasure' they have obtained from the wilderness back to the stronghold, and it is entangled by some monsters.

Su Xing and Little Wind Richie landed on the roof of a small four-story building. Strangely shaped vines and thorns covered most of the rooftop, and pink and white flowers bloomed in the cold wind. He rubbed his fingers, and an undetectable spark fell, incinerating the mutated plants that had been emitted by the energy radiation in an instant, turning them into black ash.
Driven by his will, a stone chair rose from the concrete on the rooftop, and Su Xing sat down with a cheerful little wind in his hand and began to admire the battle between the two sides.
The so-called darkness couldn't stop the eyes of the two at all, and Su Xing saw the monster hidden in the darkness that kept making strange noises.
It's a creature that came out of some fantasy work, and in general, it resembles a shrunken version of a silverback gorilla, but with more chameleon-like hair that blends perfectly into its surroundings. And those 'thick darkness' are caused by the abilities of these chameleons, which are probably similar to some kind of mutated 'dark magic'.
Interestingly, after checking the thoughts of these orangutans, Su Xing found that the guy who took the lead among them was actually a human who could be called a 'reborn'. It's just that his rebirth refers to the kind that dies and rises again. Unfortunately, he was resurrected from one of a group of chameleons roaming the wilderness.
Most of the way of thinking of this reborn person has been distorted, but even so, the intelligence of the orangutan he possessed has been greatly improved, no, it has actually learned to ambush and fall.
Little Wind Rishi stretched out his hand and flicked it in the air, a little surprised, "Although this place seems to be fine, it is actually eroded by some strange game rules!"
As she said, the besieged Shinsengumi members were not reluctant to flee or call for reinforcements, but rather because they were restricted by some kind of rule that prevented them from escaping or making contact from a distance until they were out of combat. Of course, if someone sees all this, they can still call for help. This may be a small loophole in the rules, or it may be a compromise with the real world.
She slapped the back of Su Xing's head, and her tone was excited: "Xiao Su Xiaosu, which of them do you think will win?"
Su Xing rolled his eyes, this kind of thing still needs to be asked to him Ghost only believe you can't see it! But since the teacher asked the question, then as a student, he naturally has to answer the answer.
"I think, don't look at these seven or eight orangutans have an advantage in strength and ability, the final victory will still belong to these humans. As for the reason, Su Xing didn't say, and Feng Lixi didn't ask.
To put it bluntly, the time is around one o'clock in the morning, and the time when the sun appears here is half past five in the morning, even if they are in a rather ugly situation now, as long as the lantern can hold on, then these orangutans, as the one who started the battle, will have to flee before daylight comes, otherwise they will inevitably be besieged by the Shinsengumi.
As far as Su Xing is concerned, this lantern can last for seven or eight hours casually. As long as these people don't die, then there is no problem at all!
While the lantern itself isn't a big deal, the 'drop' mechanic is quite interesting. The two looked at each other for a few more minutes, and found that although these men and women were trembling, they were still able to maintain basic calmness and composure, and it seemed that they could survive these few hours.
Xiao Feng Rixi tugged at Su Xing's hair boredly, "Let's go, let's go outside and see how the world deals with these monsters, so that there is actually a situation where equipment materials can be dropped like in the game." ”
Seeing that this meeting had been and would continue to remain deadlocked, Su Xing nodded and disappeared into the wind with her. Only the empty rooftop and stone chairs are left in harmony with it. And the ground was covered with black ash.

These empty spaces scattered between 'dungeons' and 'dungeons', or between 'dungeons' and 'safe zones', are generally elongated in shape, varying in size and intermittent. The big ones are tens or hundreds of square kilometers, and the small ones even have only one street.
Su Xing floated in the air at a height of more than ten meters, looking at the ground below with disgust with Feng Rixi.
The empty space was almost completely occupied by a large mass of slimes, three or four meters thick with a translucent gelatinous substance covered with white bones and scorched soil eroded by acid.
A non-obvious white light flashed, and a huge minotaur five or six meters tall with obvious characteristics of the monster in the game was 'refreshed' in this empty space, and it immediately fell into the tumbling sea of slimes, and only roared and struggled for more than ten seconds, it was covered under the gel, and died.
"Interesting... It is not a void creation, nor is it a utopian manifestation, but it is not a three-state transformation of information, energy and matter, but more like a product of some kind of rule. Kazari watched as it all happened with a blank face, muttering to herself.
Su Xing stretched out his hand and fished out the dead minotaur from the constantly squirming slime, and after staring at it for a few seconds, he snapped his fingers, "Sure enough, it is in line with the rules of this world from the inside out, muscles, bones, blood, no matter which part is abnormal, and there is only less than a hundred percent difference between genes and earth bovine life." ”
