There was a corpse in the room.

The corpse didn't look particularly decomposed, so it shouldn't have been dead for too long.

There was no equipment in the corpse, and there was nothing of other value.

The corpse was bleeding from all its knots, and its flesh and blood were blurred, as if it was beginning to crumble from the inside.

Just as Lu Chao was about to leave, he suddenly found a line of handwriting next to the corpse.

It's a line of blood.

The first few words are not very clear, only the last two words can be vaguely read, as if they are the words 'liar'.

After this room, a large hall appeared in front of it, and a yellow crystal hung above the hall, glowing slightly, but there was a metal cage in the center of the hall.

The cage is a cube, 2 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2 meters high. Except for one side of the cage, which is a fence, the other sides are thick metal plates.

There was a woman inside, but there was a yellow question mark above her head that could take on the task.

Quest NPCs?

The game is too unreasonable.

Under normal circumstances, a woman is trapped in such a cage for a long time, what to do if she eats and drinks Lazar?

So, this woman is definitely not an ordinary person.

After clicking on the question mark, the woman spoke.

"Living?"

"What do you think?" Lu Chao rolled his eyes, could it be that he looked like a living corpse?

"Ordinary people?"

"Sort of."

"How did you come here as an ordinary person?" The NPC woman continued to ask.

"I have two legs." Lu Chao was a little puzzled by this NPC's question.

"So many mazes, how did you get in?" The NPC woman changed the way she was asked.

"I'm good at maze solving." Lu Chao felt that this NPC was super boring, and he hadn't gotten to the point for so long.

"Oh, I see, I'm stuck here, please help me out, I'll be sure to thank you heavily." The woman issued a task to Lu Chao.

"Thank you so much...... Can you be specific? ”

"I can give you an orange weapon as a reward." The woman looked at Lu Chao for a while and put forward her conditions.

"Do you have an orange machete?"

Lu Chao pondered for a moment and mentioned it to the woman.

"Yes."

"Alright then, how am I going to save you? This cage looks very sturdy, I can't open it......" Lu Chao walked around the cage for half a circle and asked the woman.

"You really can't open this cage, it's been banned by runes, and the forbidden energy core hangs on the ceiling at the back, as long as you destroy that energy core, I can come out of this cage on my own." The woman replied to Lu Chao.

"The yellow crystal?" Lu Chao glanced at the woman and asked.

"Yes." The woman nodded.

"I'm using a halberd, I don't have a ranged weapon, that energy core hangs so high, how can I destroy it? I can't even jump out of reach! Lu Chao shook his head.

"I'll give you a weapon that can destroy it remotely." The woman frowned, conjured a crossbow and a barrel of arrows from her body, and handed them to Lu Chao from the iron fence.

Appears to be a blue-outfit weapon of D-class alloy.

Lu Chao took it and tried it, and the result was prompted.

Says he doesn't have enough internal strength to use this crossbow.

"I'm majoring in physique, and this crossbow requires internal strength to be used, so I'm afraid it won't help you." Lu Chao walked back and handed the blue-suited crossbow back to the woman.

"Your stat value is too low, right? The requirements for using this crossbow are already very low! The woman had a disappointed look on her face.

"No way, that's all I have." Lu Chao spread his hands.

"The attribute value is so low, you ran into this maze...... Don't you think it's looking for death? The woman's expression was a little broken.

Lu Chao didn't squeak.

"Looks like I'm going to have to pay some blood." The woman muttered, then took a small bottle out of her body, and it looked like she had storage items, otherwise she wouldn't have conjured them out of thin air.

So far, there have been no storage items in the Desperate Wilderness game.

Lu Chao's armor is relatively special, it can be summoned with gold coins, and all the items he usually carries on his body must be carried on his shoulder. It was too big or too heavy for him to carry.

But since it is a game, there will definitely be props such as storage rings, which can store a certain number and quality of props, but new players like Lu Chao have not had the opportunity to get this kind of treasure yet.

This NPC woman must have this kind of treasure on her, but it is not easy to get her hands on it.

I don't know if I can get her by burning it with a thunderbolt.

There are only a few million gold coins left from the captain.

I originally thought that I could contact the captain in the game and get some gold coins, but I didn't expect the game to let him contact the outside world.

It's better not to use thunderbolts and gold coins casually, and save them for critical moments to save lives.

Let's see what this woman is up to first.

"You ate this." The woman handed the vial from the alloy fence to Lu Chao.

"What is this?" Lu Chao took the small bottle and asked the woman.

"Enhancer: After taking it, it will make your internal strength surge. Good thing, I see that you have a lot of eyesight, and I don't give it to ordinary people! The woman replied to Lu Chao.

"Oh." Lu Chao responded,

Lu Chao was secretly scolding in his heart.

He had already guessed what kind of drug it was.

In his previous life, he had seen a drug that allowed people to convert all the life energy in their bodies into internal force in a short period of time, and burst out with many times more internal force than usual.

It takes effect half an hour after taking the medicine and then lasts for about 10 minutes.

After ten minutes, the person will bleed and explode to death.

The corpse of the NPC in the front room has already given a hint.

The injuries on his body also matched the effect of the drug.

At this time, if the player is greedy for money, he is likely to fall for the woman.

The Novice City now only has very crude bamboo arrows, and there is no such tall alloy crossbow.

Players basically don't have ranged weapons, and this crossbow is still very attractive to players in the Newbie City.

Fortunately, Lu Chao is not a novice.

"If you take this bottle of medicine, your internal strength will increase greatly, and your strength will also increase dramatically, and after half an hour, you will be able to use crossbow weapons." The woman saw Lu Chao hesitating, so she explained a few more words to Lu Chao.

"Sure enough." Lu Chao listened to the woman's introduction, and affirmed his previous judgment even more.

"Are there any side effects of this potion?" Lu Chao asked the woman.

"How can there be side effects? This is an SSS-grade high-grade potion, worth tens of millions of gold coins per bottle! The woman began to babble.

However, Lu Chao didn't want to expose her, he pretended to be tricked, turned around, poured out the potion, and then pretended to put the empty bottle next to his mouth and nose.

"Did you take the medicine?" The woman's look of urgency.
