The ugly worker swung the giant ax and forced a smile on his withered face. The mouth was so big that it split the head in half crookedly. Thin and dense crystals came out from between the teeth, making a hehe sound,
"Chop into pieces...chop into pieces...bones, no bones left..."
Unfortunately, villains always die from talking too much.
The worker stumbled suddenly, and his ugly head was suddenly penetrated by the shovel.
The whole person jumped straight onto the bed, and the giant ax fell down without support.
The sharp edge of "hiss" passed over Yunchuan's shoulder, and a piece of blue cloth fluttered on the bed.
……
The young man looked dissatisfied, and the golden threads wrapped around his arms instantly retracted into flesh and blood. They could sense that the master seemed no longer as happy as before.
Mu Chen stepped on the edge of the bed and pulled back the shovel with one hand.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Yunchuan looking at him expressionlessly. Well, he leaned over to pick up the blue cloth that fell on the ground, covered the young man's bare shoulders perfunctorily, and said with a smile: "You must be scared. No thanks bro.”
"...Who wants to thank you?" Yun Chuan glanced at the worker holding his leg. "What a good opportunity, wasted." ’
However, from other people's perspective, this person did save him.
"Thank you"
"It's a small thing, I'll repay you for accompanying me to the toilet."
...It even got on the nose and face
Yun Chuan's eyes twitched. Before this, except for Mo Sang, who was chirping, he had never seen anyone so disrespectful to him. It was really a wonderful experience.
Mu Chen stared at Yunchuan sitting on the bed, while using his peripheral vision to observe the bones crowded beside him.
"So, can you explain why these bones seem to obey you so much?"
"Well, I'm just trying to put a little bit of the bones back where they belong." The young man raised his hand that had not completely healed, and blood was still dripping down. "They don't want to attack us, they just They don’t have vocal organs, so they can’t express their thoughts. If you figure out what they want to do, they will be very obedient.”
...What a warrior. Mu Chen felt strange as he looked at Yunchuan, who was explaining to him seriously with his hands dripping with blood.
He pinched his brows feebly and took the hand that made people look at him. "They are obedient. Well, this is a good thing, yes, a good thing. We were next door just now, and those bones came to our door, and there were a lot of them." "It should be our carving during the day that increased their number. Now they are under control, and Yue Muyang is taking care of them. And there are two workers who went to our house this time, and their strength is much higher than yesterday."
After making a simple hemostatic bandage with the bandage that Yue Muyang exchanged from the system, he turned around and walked towards the open door with a shovel in one hand.
"Okay." Yun Chuan rolled out of bed, wrapped his shivering bones in sheets, and followed Mu Chen to the next room. He probably knew why all the previous players were wiped out.
Before going out, he glanced at the worker lying on the bed.
Tsk, so ugly.
Opening the door, you will see a room full of players grabbing bones.
Yue Muyang clung tightly to a ripped-out sheet, which was obviously filled with bones that had been knocked around.
He gently opened a small opening in the sheet, and whoosh, a white shadow suddenly jumped out and jumped up and down in the room.
Wu Wei and the green-haired boy followed behind and tried to catch it. The two chased it and surrounded it. After all, the house was not big. Ning Yu managed to hold down the bones before they rushed under the bed.
Then, the tired and flushed boy handed the bones to Ms. Wu. The mother and daughter tied the bones tightly with sheets torn into strips to prevent them from breaking free.
...just like those garlic skewers made by Mo Sang...
"So, what are you doing..." Yun Chuan said speechlessly.
"This way we can separate and control them. Brother Yue said that if we study these bones, there will always be a way to clear them." Shangguan Jin said seriously,
"By the way, Brother Chuan, that crystal you brought back during the day. The crystal orchid on it suddenly grew very fast. The roots penetrated directly into the crystal and wrapped around the hand bones several times. Then the hand bones broke into pieces. The ones came out along the roots, but I don’t know why they didn’t run around. Look, Ning Yu’s voice came indistinctly, and he was currently lying under the bed grabbing the bones that escaped. .
Yunchuan stepped over the squirming buttocks on the ground and placed the sheets in his hands casually on the bed. His bones were so obedient that all of them lay inside and pretended to be dead.
However, when he looked at the crystal in front of him, the crystal orchid on its surface was the same as during the day, but the roots were much thicker, spirally scattered inside the crystal, and wrapped around the shape of his hand.
‘Just like human nerves. ’ He shifted his gaze to the bones of his hand lying limply on the bed.
Of course he knew why this hand bone was so decadent.
After all, its owner had long since turned into a speck of dust in the factory. The hand bone seemed to notice that person's gaze, and tremblingly burrowed into the sheets. God knows it just saw a bold player wandering around, hoping that he could help him deal with the hateful crystal. Unexpectedly, his main body was turned into ashes.
"Come on, tell me about your findings, Mr. Yunchuan, you seem to have discovered a lot of useful things."
Mu Chen's voice made him retract his gaze from his hand bones, "I think the reason why the first few batches of players failed to survive may be very simple. Our requirement to pass the level is to become a formal worker, but becoming a formal worker is equivalent to the skeleton of the whole body. Crystallization is no different from the living dead. If you want to avoid this situation..." Yunchuan raised his eyebrows.
"Then we can only let the bones return to our bodies. This is not an easy task. When the bones return, a large amount of blood will be lost, and the body cannot bear it."
……
There was silence in the air, and everyone's eyes fell on Yun Chuan's hastily bandaged hand in unison. Most of the bandage was almost stained red.
Gudong. Wu Wei swallowed nervously and looked at Yue Muyang, "Well, Brother Yue, can you exchange for something else? For example, something to restore blood and relieve pain?"
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Yue Muyang shook his head.
"No. The beginner's notebook has great restrictions on old players, and these props cannot be exchanged. In fact, there were no old players in the beginner's notebook before, but in recent years, many new players have not even waited for the system's newbie tutorial because of various reasons. Cause of death. Oh, you can see the death rate of different stages of the copy in the player lobby. There was an incident before, and the system was wiped out before even seeing the guide NPC. Only now and then will veteran players be allowed into the novice dungeon
However, compared to you, the copy has great restrictions on me. The system mall is basically closed, and I can't explore the dungeon too much, so I can only provide you with some protection. My trip on the first night was already warned by the system. ”
No wonder he has been so restless these days, Yunchuan thought to himself.
"Ah, what should we do? This is a completely dead end. If you follow the NPC's direction, you will turn into a crystal monster. If you follow the bones, you will lose too much blood. We also need to unravel some secrets of this broken factory. There are also contents inside What kind of man in black!" Ning Yu was a little collapsed, and his little green hair was a little wilted.
"Don't get excited. There is no dead end in the dungeon. This dungeon is indeed difficult for novices. But there will always be a solution. And the secret of the factory is a side mission. We just need to complete the main mission." Yue Muyang comforted in a hurry A young man with a dying look on his face.
‘I’m afraid the side quests have long since disappeared. The factory director has been excommunicated, so where can he find the secrets of the factory? ’ Yunchuan complained silently.
"I have a question." Mu Chen held the boy's collar with one hand to stop his musings.
"Don't you think that Crystal Orchid is a bit redundant in this copy? Their only function at present is to replace the bones in the crystal. Although this replacement is very important. But there is no need to use it. No matter how you look at it, you should not live. Let’s replace the crystal orchid in this place. Moreover, the crystal orchid is engraved on the badge. This badge has no effect yet.”
"Sincerity is harmless, fragile and has no palace. This is the flower language of the crystal orchid. They may be implying that the bones are not our enemy," Shangguan Jin said weakly.
"Obviously, they are not harmless. They can also burrow into people's bodies." Yunchuan shrugged. These bones were very bad.
"I thought so at first. But maybe we thought too deeply. This flower language may just represent themselves. The sincere and harmless ones are the crystal orchids. They can let the hand bones come in and out of the crystal at will without any trouble. Damage crystals are like displacers. They can also be used as displacers for crystals and bones in our bodies." Mu Chen paused. "Can you understand?"
"Understood. What you mean is to equate our bodies into crystals. Then the Crystal Orchid replaces the crystal bones in the body, and then allows our original bones to return to their original positions through the Crystal Orchid." Yunchuan took up his words easily, He suddenly didn't want Mu Chen to die. It would be a pity for such an excellent player to die here.
"That's right. Although we don't know yet whether the formal work determined by the system is a successful crystal sculpture, or whether our whole body is crystallized. But we can try this method first." Mu Chen chuckled.
"Brother Mu, I believe you. If I try, I'm willing to experiment." Shangguan Jin looked at the man with bright eyes.
"Me too! I believe you!"
"Brother, you are so awesome."
……
The players who had been lifeless just now were radiant, changing from their previous dejection.
Hmm. The little girl’s mother, Ms. Wu, suddenly started making signs in sign language.
"Mom said she could try. Now the bones are so messed up that I can't tell who's whose. But my mother had surgery on her left hand, and there was a nail on one of the bones, which was easy to identify. She also said she wanted to help. Help, thank you very much before" Shangguan Jin translated quickly.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, we will protect you." Mu Chen nodded.
Everyone rummaged through the bone rope, and sure enough, they quickly found the forearm bone.
Ms. Wu held the bone in one hand and placed it on the crystal together with her own arm.
Everyone held their breath, and the only sound in the room was the rattling of bones as they struggled.
Suddenly, the skewed crystal orchid on the crystal moved without wind, and its translucent petals swayed gently, as if they were leaning on Ms. Wu's arm with a little attachment.
