Five minutes later......

Three adventurers with evil intentions walked through the eerie gray smoke towards the altar in the center of the map.

"What's going on with this fog?" The short-haired woman who walked in front muttered, a confused expression on her face that was blue from the cold.

"I don't know, it could be a special effect on the spot." The middle-aged man who followed the woman reached out and patted the gray leather coat on his body, and the dust on it fell one after another.

Beside the two of them was a thin man wearing light leather armor and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks. This person has a conspicuous explosive head, and a mustache at the corner of his mouth looks very obscene.

Generally speaking, no one will set their character to look like this, but in Advent mode, the player's appearance will also become strange, random to any character.

These three people are the three players who have befallen NPCs in this game.

And the three of them are also well aware of this.

Although players can't team up in Advent mode, this mode doesn't take anything away with you other than skill points.

Compared to the deathmatch, where the players are all red-eyed, the competition in the advent mode is actually not so fierce.

- This is also the reason why these three players formed a "temporary alliance".

The reason for the existence of this fragile alliance is to find the bosses in this map, as well as the locations where special episodes can be triggered, in preparation for deathmatch.

Of course, the three of them are not stupid, and it is impossible to leave their backs to other players with confidence, even in the process of exploring, they are always wary of their "teammates" around them.

"Be careful...... "The thin man walking behind reminded him.

As they approached the center of the valley, the strange fog around them began to thin out, and the vision range of the three of them finally began to recover. And then—

At the sight of the middle of the valley, they suddenly stopped.

Twenty meters away, a gray altar made of human bones appeared, the blood stains on the altar had long since congealed into ice, and the snow below was also dyed dark red.

On the bloody altar, there sat a middle-aged man with an unusually pale complexion, his face and body covered with frozen blood, and his gray eyes stared at the three of them without blinking.

The man sat crooked on the human bone altar in seemingly lazy movements, holding a crimson decapitation axe in his right hand, and blood seemed to ooze from under the blade, turning the snow into a frozen pool of blood.

"It's ......"

Seeing this strange picture, the three of them all took a step back, and no one dared to venture forward.

- This guy with a terrifying white complexion is the boss in the center of the map?

Under the watchful gaze of the three of them, the man sitting on the altar raised his left hand and wiped the frozen blood on his face.

……

Of course, no matter how sharp these three players were, they couldn't discover the hidden mystery in the old hunter's actions just now:

Taking advantage of the opportunity to cover his mouth with his left hand, Lin Chi said in a weak voice:

"Subtitles."

Before he finished speaking, he was standing in the sight of the three players who were facing the old hunter twenty meters away, and finally the identity of the NPC appeared belatedly:

"Old Hunter", a hero-like NPC (boss level), cannot be recruited.

- It's a boss!

Realizing that they were facing a boss-level monster, the three of them also took a few steps back again and began to quickly discuss their battle strategy:

"Who's going first?"

"You're small and flexible, you go try it......"

"Don't talk nonsense, you should test it first......"

The three people, who already didn't trust each other, almost quarreled at this time.

Seeing that these guys were arguing, Lin Chi was also happy to be idle, and continued to sit on the human bone altar, watching the three idiots arguing.

It would be impossible to do this in deathmatch mode, which automatically reveals the player's identity. "Advent Mode" doesn't show the rules of the game by the player's name, but it provides a good cover for itself.

- Only in Advent mode can you play this trick yourself.

Also, with the help of an NPC that can rewrite the stats, it's easier to fool other players......

"You're not recognized." The young man's voice directly entered Lin Chi's consciousness: "They are not as smart as you. ”

"They've already lost on hardware." Lin Chi smiled.

Obviously, these three players are using a safe and reliable second-generation interface. With this kind of interface, it is impossible to distinguish the difference between "data anomalies" and "in-game special effects".

Because of this, Lin Chi was able to easily fool these three fools.

And now...... It's time to end.

After looking at the three people passing the buck to each other for a while, Lin Chi pursed his lips impatiently and whispered a new command to his helper:

"Add special effects."

As this order was issued, a layer of scarlet mist suddenly shrouded the body of the old hunter, like wriggling blood, which immediately attracted the attention of the three players.

"The boss battle is about to begin?"

Realizing that the situation was not good, the three of them retreated again and again.

Then, the old hunter with his own blood mist suddenly flashed and appeared in front of the three of them in an instant.

The tall and tall "BOSS", staring at the three of them condescendingly with dark eyes, let out a low whimper from the decapitation axe in his right hand, and several vague bloody resentments floated out of the axe blade......

"......"

Seeing that the boss had teleported, the three of them finally recovered from the shock, turned around and ran away without saying a word, and the already fragile alliance finally collapsed completely.

"Ahhhh

The thin man who had walked at the back of the previous one let out a frightened scream and ran like a rabbit.

It's a pity that he couldn't run ten meters away before he suddenly hit something and fell backwards to the ground.

The player raised his head in horror, only to see that the old hunter, who was all red, had already swung a giant axe at his head mercilessly-

Click!

With the thin man's head in a different place, the death prompt also appears in the eyes of all players, as usual:

A player has been killed.

Before the hint had gone away, the terrifying figure shrouded in blood mist teleported again, chopping off the head of the fleeing short-haired woman with an axe.

A player has been killed.

Seeing that his two "companions" were hanging, the remaining middle-aged man also decisively gave up escaping, took off the silver heavy sword behind his back, and blocked it in front of him.

After pulling out the weapon, the person's originally wandering gaze also began to become firm. Standing in place, it looks like an indestructible god of war!

The middle-aged man with confidence erupted into a low roar from his chest, like a ferocious beast:

"Lao Tzu is also a war ......"

A player has been killed.

The body of the middle-aged man who was beheaded in half fell into the snow, and the blood mist on the old hunter's body finally dissipated.

Lin Chi put the decapitation axe behind him and looked down at the miserable corpse at his feet. And then......

His shoulders shook a few times, and the whole person slowly bent down and squatted, holding his stomach with both hands. A burst of suppressed laughter echoed around the altar:

"I can't do it anymore hahahaha......"

Seeing the old hunter laughing until he couldn't take care of himself, the NPC who remained in the underground hall reminded helplessly:

"Alright, stop laughing, don't you have any more questions?"
