Chapter 61: Death Without Turning a Blind Eye
Gao Zhen looked at the date, and today has come to the day when he harvests the elixir.
Some time ago, Shen Xin became the captain of their drama team, and she immediately began to arrange their own tasks for each team member. According to her requirements, everyone must be level 15 or above before the tournament at the end of the month.
Zhou Mi and Lin Haiming were sent out to search the entire island in all directions, because Shen Xin was worried that new gamers would farm their birthplaces here, affecting their pre-match preparations. At the same time, in order to prevent the opponent from harassing her through the IP address, she also wrote a firewall program to protect the IP and installed it in the computer of each team member to prevent the leakage of the IP address.
Zhou Mi and Lin Haiming spent almost a day searching the entire island, and came back to say that they had found no trace of other players, and they had found a lot of important things on the way.
For example, a hot spring at the foot of a volcanic mountain, a nice fishing spot on the east coast, and a new dungeon entrance.
Knowing this, the whole team was busy. He was carefully arranged to build a track to facilitate access to several important points on the island; The fat man became the leader of the "Dungeon Exploration Team", looking for an opportunity to lead Lin Haiming and Gao Zhen to the dungeon to hunt for treasures; Shen Xin, on the other hand, has to collect and sort out the materials that everyone needs to improve their abilities, and formulate training guidelines for the players.
Gao Zhen recently needed to refine some new pills, and he was worried that he couldn't find a stable heat source, and the news about the hot springs brought back by Zhou Mi made him a lot happier. Immediately, he moved his newly built "Intermediate Alchemy Furnace" and placed it in a crevice in the rock where the hot spring steam was bubbling.
The temperature of this hot spring steam is not too high, but it is very long-lasting and mild, and it can be used to refine an elixir called "Lian Qi Dan". Immortal cultivators who eat this elixir can speed up the gathering of true qi in their own body and obtain a certain improvement in cultivation, and this method of taking the elixir to increase their cultivation can avoid the relatively boring "typing".
After setting up the alchemy furnace, Gao Zhen still had some worries, he was worried that during the refining of the elixir, there would be beasts or new players to sabotage, causing the alchemy to give up halfway, so he used his newly learned wood attribute formation to lay several immortal traps around the alchemy furnace.
This kind of immortal trap needs to be cooperated with by using the "Wooden Trap Charm". Dig a shallow pit in the ground and lay this yellow-green charm flat in it and cover it with a thin layer of earth. As soon as a person or animal steps on this area, the soil will instantly sink and turn into soft grass. And these plants and trees are spiritual, they will be like pythons to entangle their prey, so that those who fall into the pit will never be able to escape.
This kind of trap has a valid time, and after a long time, the spell will lose its spiritual power, and then the trap will naturally lose its effect. Gao Zhen calculated, the validity period of the spell can probably be managed until after the completion of two alchemies.
Today, he brought the newly prepared alchemy materials to prepare to replace a batch.
When he came to the hot springs, he immediately noticed something unusual. One of the traps he had set had already been triggered, and a large pit had appeared in front of the alchemy furnace.
Is it a beast, or is it a new player? Thinking to himself, he stopped his steps and made no more noise, for his divine sense sensed that there was no one in the pit, and that it could only be that the person who triggered the trap had escaped quickly before the spell had fully taken effect.
He should still be hiding nearby, ready to ambush himself. Gao Zhen thought as he estimated the other party's level. To be able to have such a reflex ability and escape before the circle is launched, the opponent must have superhuman prediction ability and necessary operation skills as a veteran player.
But the other party's level should not be high, he has only been here for a short time, otherwise he would have been discovered by Zhou Mi and Lin Haiming. Thinking of this, Gao Zhen was ready to deliberately pretend to let his guard down and step forward to lure the man out.
He pulled out the Green Spirit Blade, hid it in his sleeve, and then deliberately ran towards the trap pit, as if he was curious about what was inside.
Just as he was halfway through the run, suddenly there were several gusts of wind in his ears, and Gao Zhen performed a sideways roll with his instincts and dodged. But even so, he found that his health bar had dropped somewhat.
It's a bullet, it's a bullet with an extremely fast rate of fire. Gao Ji instantly understood why the opponent was so sure that he could ambush him, and it turned out that the opponent's profession was "sharpshooter", a profession that was very suitable for long-range sneak attacks.
Knowing this, Gao Zhen felt that he was a little careless, due to the existence of the passive skills of the sharpshooter, it was difficult for him to ensure that the blood would not fall off, and it was easy to be ground by the other party in the dark little by little, and finally grind to death.
Sharpshooter's passive ability "Precision Shot": The Sharpshooter's base hit will be much higher than that of other classes.
These base hits are higher than those of other classes that are essential for sharpshooters to play around in Reboot II, and as long as their firing position is not detected, they always have the opportunity to shoot at enemies in the shadows, depleting their health bar little by little.
Gao Zhen knew that the other party's level was not high, but the other party must be a veteran. Gao Zhen mobilized his divine sense several times to explore the surroundings, but he couldn't find any trace of the other party.
A few more bullets came over, and Gao Zhen made a prediction this time, dodging it with a jump, and finally he was not injured, but this consumed his physical strength and spirit too much. You have to be very focused, you get tired very quickly, and then your opponent grabs you.
After running around the Dan furnace for a while, the position of the opponent's shot was different each time, and it was obviously wandering with Gao Zhen's dodge, reducing the possibility of Gao Zhen finding his position.
Seeing that the blood volume of this immortal cultivator had dropped to two-thirds, the ferryman was confident that if he didn't escape, he would definitely die under his spear. Thinking that he was only level 1, but he had hunted an opponent who was more than level 10, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
But just as he was about to continue shooting, the other party actually stepped on a trap set by himself. A green light flashed under the immortal cultivator's feet, and within a few seconds, his entire body was swallowed up by the grass and trees in the pit that he had sunk into.
"Huh?" The ferryman shouted in surprise, he had been playing the game for so long, he had seen something stupid, he had never seen something so stupid. Someone can fall into the trap they have set! I just saw that this immortal cultivator was obviously operating well, how could he make such an idiotic mistake now?
Could it be that he fell into it on purpose? Are you going to attack me when I go up to check? It's impossible, if I stand outside the pit and shoot him, I can shoot him alive and die in the pit!
The ferryman walked out of his hiding place with full suspicion, raised his two guns, and fired indiscriminately into the grass-covered pit into which Gao Pillow had fallen. After shooting a magazine, he was not satisfied, so he quickly took out the second magazine, loaded it, and fired again.
The smoke of gunpowder rose from the pit where he was shooting, and he stopped. Sensing that the other party must have been shot into a sieve, the ferryman walked to the pit and decided to dig it up and search for the items that the other party had dropped after his death.
Suddenly, a noise came from the pit, and in a few moments, a strange round bubble rose from the grass and trees in the pit. The bubble flickered on and off, but I just couldn't see what was inside.
"What the hell?" The ferryman looked confused, he had never seen anything like this, and instinctively, he took a few steps back, raised his two guns, and fired another shot at the bubbles suspended in mid-air, so that his pistol began to smoke black.
The strange thing is that once the bullet I shot entered the bubble, it never came out again, as if it had been eaten, and there was no response. The ferryman felt as if he was shooting at the sea, and no matter how many bullets were fired, the sea would not react.
With a "pop", the bubble burst, and bullets began to fall out of it, pouring out like a waterfall.
The ferryman was stunned, completely shocked. The immortal cultivator who had just fallen into the trap was standing inside the bubble, and he shot a cyan dagger out from behind the waterfall of bullets and stuck it directly into the ferryman's head.
The ferryman cried out in grief, his blood was cleared, and his body fell to the ground, dead and dead.
Falling to the ground with him were the contents of his backpack and his proudest orange weapon, the "Blood Rose".
