In the evening, when the setting sun gradually drops below the horizon, the levelers return one after another, with the joy of returning with a full load, as well as the pain and sorrow of losing their companions.

Haoren's dinner was roast rabbit meat, which he exchanged for the pig king dagger and Chu Nan, and the ingredients were lv5 mutant rabbits that could be seen everywhere nearby, this mutant creature was pitifully weak in combat power, and it reproduced quickly, in Chu Nan's words, it was simply the best cooking material.

Most importantly, despite not having any caste bonuses, rabbit meat is always more acceptable than rat meat. Moreover, roast rabbit meat can be dried into jerky and stored in a space package, which is a necessary food for going out to level up.

After eating and wiping, Haoren left the hotel, and hundreds of people were already waiting for him on the street, and the highlight of the day was the purchase of crystal stones.

Haoren's appearance made the crowd a little scratched, and they all desperately squeezed forward, after all, he had said that he would only buy 500 crystals, seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Haoren cleared his throat and shouted: "Then let's start!" Please line up, I refuse to buy it! ”

Only then did the crowd gradually become more orderly, and they lined up one by one, almost half of the street.

"I just hit two crystal stones, alas, I almost lost my life today, can you give me more money?"

"That's my own strength! Next" Haoren didn't raise his head.

"I have 5 crystal stones, but I hope to be able to trade 350 doomsday coins, and our brothers are in a team, and we can't share much money if we don't have a little more."

"Get out!" Haoren raised his eyelids slightly.

"I'm old and young, why don't you give more!"

"I'm not doing a charity meeting!"

"Let me tell you, labor and management are the bosses of the town, if you know each other, give more money, and I will cover you here in the future."

"Sheriff Wang, there is a self-proclaimed boss here, I don't know if you know him?" Haoren turned his head directly to greet the silent Sheriff Wang.

……

The acquisition process was not as smooth as imagined, there were gags, some pretending to be pitiful and scoundrels, and some unreasonable, just like Changqing said yesterday, there are really people who regard Haoren as a wronged leader.

But fortunately, no one dared to use force directly, not because they were afraid of Haoren, but because they were afraid of Sheriff Wang, who was standing not far away......

The whole transaction lasted for nearly an hour, and when the last person traded the crystal stones, Haoren couldn't help but feel worried after counting them, and the total was only 460 yuan.

"Isn't it, you can't even get together 500 yuan?" Haoren was a little speechless, and the people around him who had already finished trading were also quite speechless, although there were many people in line, but many of them only traded one or two yuan.

"Actually, today's mutant monsters seem to have become a little strange, and everyone wants to help you collect more crystal stones, but life is more important, so I'm sorry." A girl explained in a low voice.

"I'll explain this to you later, let's disperse tonight!" Sergeant Wang said in a deep voice, his prestige causing everyone else to quickly dissipate.

Then Sergeant Wang turned around and looked at Haoren quietly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and Haoren was uncomfortable.

In all fairness, if it were placed in the previous world, people like Sheriff Wang should be admirable, but in this kind of society, Haoren doesn't know how to evaluate him.

"I have 40 crystal stones here, I can give them to you together, I don't need money."

Haoren raised his eyebrows, Sergeant Wang is a hero profession, and leveling will naturally be easier, but he didn't agree immediately, he smiled and said: "I don't dare to ask for your crystal stone in vain, let's just say it, what do you need me to do?" ”

Sheriff Wang was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "I still hope that you can help me clean up the fire ant nest of the 10-person green dungeon, this dungeon is blocked between the town and Zixia Mountain, which is quite troublesome." ”

Haoren also expressed his embarrassment with silence.

"Please!" Sergeant Wang's tone was a little pleading: "I know you are worried about the instability of the team, but I promise that I will definitely arrange the best manpower, and the equipment will be divided equally among you, and I will not take it at all." ”

Haoren was a little strange, he didn't have this attitude a few days ago.

"In the last two days, I've always felt that there is something unusual about the mutants in the neighborhood." Sergeant Wang pondered his tone, but he didn't know where to start, and smiled slightly bitterly: "Maybe I'm too worried, but I'm a hero class, and I'm more sensitive to the combat power of mutant monsters, but I've seen with my own eyes that some mutant monsters have increased their level from lv6 to lv10 in just one day!" ”

Haoren couldn't help but be surprised: "Even if you have a lot of food, it's impossible to evolve so fast!" ”

"Not only that, but today I went out alone to investigate, guess what I found?"

Haoren doesn't like to sell Guanzi: "Let's say it directly!" ”

Sergeant Wang's face changed a little, a little frightened and a little serious: "I found that the mutant monsters in the vicinity are constantly gathering towards a location, and the number is increasing, as if it is ......"

Sergeant Wang seemed to be unable to find the right words for a while, and held back for a long time before he burst out with a sentence: "It's like forming an army!" ”

Haoren was suspicious: "Army? Army! ”

"That's right!" Sheriff Wang nodded vigorously: "I told the others about it, but no one believed it, and when I went to inspect it later, the mutant monsters that had gathered had also disappeared." But I'm sure I wasn't dazzled before, and there are already nearly a thousand of those mutant monsters that have gathered! ”

Haoren couldn't help but be taken aback, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, although Sheriff Wang was very old-fashioned, he was definitely not an alarmist person, and he would not deceive himself with this kind of thing.

"These nearly a thousand mutant monsters are very peculiar, they all have a pair of red eyes, and their level is generally above lv10. They are very fierce and vigilant, I was discovered by them from afar, and if it weren't for my hero-specific skills, I am afraid I would not have been able to escape. ”

There were also people in the town who had seen this strange mutant creature with blood-like eyes before, but they all appeared alone, and in this case of nearly a thousand of them appearing together, Sheriff Wang should be the first person to see it, or the first person to see it alive.

"Do you think I'm?" Sergeant Wang sighed.

"No!" Haoren shook his head, and gradually became solemn: "If what you see is true, then where do you think the goal of this mutant army is?" ”

"The goal? To prey on us humans, of course. Sergeant Wang pondered for a moment, and was a little surprised: "You mean their target is this town!" ”

Haoren sighed: "I also hope this is not true, but it is obvious that there are only two human settlements in this vicinity, Linchuan University and this town, as for those factories, they have long been empty." And more importantly, there are altars in this town! ”

"Altar? So what? ”

Haoren muttered: "Thinking about it, if you want to completely destroy human beings, then I will first destroy the foundation on which human beings depend. What is the reason why we are still alive now? ”

"Altar of Occupations." Sergeant Wang replied with a wry smile.

"That's right! It is the altar that provides the normal class and the hero class, which gives us the power to fight against mutated creatures, and the altar provides a variety of sub-classes, which solves various life problems such as our basic food and clothing. When the altar doesn't exist one day, how long will we live? ”

It's a cruel question, although the town seems to be stable, and although people die every day, the vast majority of people can barely survive, have food to eat, and a trading place to change equipment.

But all this stability is built on the altar of the profession, and the loss of this human weapon means that you will not be able to learn new skills, you will not be able to change your sub-profession, and in the face of mutated creatures that are becoming stronger, can humans still survive?

Sheriff Wang was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty: "I thought I had thought bad enough, it seems that things are even worse than I imagined!" ”

"No wonder the crystal stones that everyone hit today are so rare, because the mutant monsters are gradually gathering, and they can't find many monsters at all!"

Haoren looked at Sheriff Wang again and asked, "You can't wait to destroy the copy of the fire ant nest, do you want to leave a way out for everyone?" ”

"It's just a last resort!" Sergeant Wang's face showed a hint of helplessness: "After all, the town is the home where we have lived for many years, and we will not give up easily." ”

Haoren pondered: "Have you thought about it, after all, those monsters are just mutations of the creatures of the earth, it is impossible to have a high IQ, even if hunting humans is just the instinct of creatures, let alone gathering together with a purpose." ”

"You still want to say I'm dazzled?"

Haoren waved his hand: "I completely believe your words, what I want to say is that I am afraid that behind this matter is the dark creatures from the other world who are pushing it!" ”

"Otherworldly creatures? Revenge of the Spider Queen! "Sheriff Wang is not an idiot, and he suddenly woke up to the fact that since the world plot was announced, nothing major has happened, and I am afraid that most people have forgotten about the revenge of the Spider Empress.

Haoren's face is also quite grim, so far he has only come into contact with two dark creatures, the poisonous spider and the skeleton soldier, the former is the ultimate boss of the 15-person green-level dungeon, and the strength is naturally needless to say; The latter is an ordinary skeleton soldier who is chasing and killing, but his combat power is close to himself.

"Okay, I've agreed to your request, and I'll help you take down the 10-person green-level dungeon fire ant nest!"

"It's better to choose than to bump, then tomorrow!" Sheriff Wang also made a decision immediately.

"Not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the earliest!" Haoren shook his head.

"I've already contacted the others, so I can ...... earlier"

Haoren firmly refused, his plan for the past two days had already been made, to strengthen the equipment tonight, and to clean up the cursed swordsman of the blue copy tomorrow.

This plan will not be easily changed because of Sheriff Wang's words, if someone preemptively kills the blue-level boss because of this, his loss will be great.

Sheriff Wang was not reconciled, but he had no choice but Haoren's attitude was very resolute, both of them were heroes, so it was even more impossible for Sheriff Wang to do things like force and coercion.

"In that case, then I'll bring someone over tomorrow and clean up as many monsters as possible, maybe I can successfully kill the boss, and I'll let you take action!" Sheriff Wang was slightly angry.

"That's great, but I want to remind you, don't underestimate this dungeon, large dungeons are very teamwork, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be in danger of annihilation." Haoren patiently advised.

"Thank you for your kindness, I've got to go to sleep!" Sheriff Wang looked really angry, snorted slightly and left first.

Haoren smiled bitterly and went back to the hotel.
