NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 13 The life-saving torch
Within five minutes, the already exhausted player was knocked down and bitten by three hungry wolves. Their fangs pierced his neck and the scarlet blood was still radiating warmth.
Just when he was dying, the last message he posted on the public screen was erased by an invisible hand.
"Damn it, this line upstairs has disappeared!"
"Another line of words disappeared!"
"Oh my god, it's so scary... Didn't you see that every time a line of text disappears, the number in the lower right corner of our page also decreases."
At this moment, almost everyone knew what the disappearing handwriting meant. If only one life dies, all traces of its existence will be erased? !
This realization intensified everyone's panic. Many people cried and said that they wanted to go back and no longer wanted to stay in this world.
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "Everyone, please calm down. There's no point in crying now. We don't know what will happen if we are selected."
[So redundant]: "As of now, living well is the most important thing."
"I feel like there's a tiger staring at me from behind. I'm so scared. What should I do? I can't even see the road clearly in the dark."
"Me too. If I had known it would get dark so early, I wouldn't have walked so far!"
"It's really lucky that I had a cancer attack and didn't go out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to imagine it."
[His Royal Highness Nan]: "Help... there's a python! It's such a big one. It's about to catch up. Damn it, this guy is too fast."
Qi Xuanze didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing just because he wanted to pick more soapberries when he went back. The two-meter-long python behind him pursued him at an extremely fast speed.
He didn't dare to think about anything, he only dared to run hard, feeling not only the cool breeze but also the cold "hissing" sound in his ears.
It seemed like a reminder from hell. It wasn't that he didn't dare to fight back, but the python was so black that it almost blended with the night. He couldn't even see the exact location of the python when he looked back.
Otherwise, you can still beat the snake seven inches to complete the kill.
Shu Ling took out a piece of wood, then took out resin*1 and applied it on the wood. He borrowed a fire from his own fire, and the fire ignited instantly.
Unexpectedly, the white light of the system appeared in the hand at this time, and along with the mechanical sound of the system, the wood in the hand turned into a decent torch.
[The torch has been materialized. 】
Shu Ling put this in the trading center and set the trading requirements very low. Wood*2 or stone*2 can be directly traded for this torch.
As Qi Xuanze ran away, he glanced at the news on the public screen. In just ten minutes, more than a dozen people had died!
Such a terrifying number made his heart sink; could he really escape from the python safely?
He had no idea.
Thinking of the python behind him that was thicker than his thigh, Qi Xuanze thought that he might as well go to the trading center to buy himself an urn and die more comfortably.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally thought of the trading center, and the virtual screen in front of him jumped to the trading center, with a bright object appearing on it: a torch.
After looking at the materials needed for the transaction, Qi Xuanze traded wood*2 for the torch without thinking. The torch appeared in his hand with a bad smell.
"Cough, cough, cough!" The smell of burning resin was very pungent and unpleasant, but it also illuminated Qi Xuanze's vision within a meter around him.
Even the python further away could vaguely determine its location, but Qi Xuanze was still walking forward. He thought that even if he wanted to kill the python, he would have to wait until he was almost in front of his house.
When his little thatched shed appeared in his field of vision and a dagger appeared in Qi Xuanze's hand, he forced himself to calm down and stopped escaping.
The pungent smell obviously made the python try to get close to the hunting python hesitant, but Qi Xuanze had already thought about his next move.
He held the dagger in his hand tightly, and with the torch he became bolder. He approached the python step by step but did not dare to approach him. There was no trace of the arrogance that he had when chasing him at the beginning!
As the distance got closer, the python couldn't bear it anymore. First it swung its huge tail towards Qi Xuanze, but Qi Xuanze made a deep wound with his dagger.
Qi Xuanze was also repelled, and his strong resistance to the python made his arms feel numb and tremble slightly.
"Hiss - this is a terrifying power, but it seems to be a little afraid of fire." Qi Xuanze waved the torch in his hand, which indeed acted as a threat.
Qi Xuanze was provocative at every turn, and the python attacked again, opening its bloody mouth and biting at Qi Xuanze. The long scarlet tongue and sharp fangs were so terrifying.
The next second, Qi Xuanze directly stuffed the torch into the bloody mouth, and even poked it in again for fear that the damage would not be enough.
Using Dabai's throat stabbing technique, the hot temperature was stabbed to the python's throat. The high temperature burned and hurt so much that it wanted to roll on the spot.
At the last moment when the light disappeared, Qi Xuanze stabbed the python's seven inches with his dagger quickly and accurately.
One stroke was not enough, but two. The python, which was injured both front and back, was stabbed three times and lost [-] inches of blood. Finally, it could no longer withstand it and died completely.
After experiencing such a tense battle, Qi Xuanze felt that most of his strength had been drained away. He picked up the loot on the ground, and then quickly rushed to the house not far away with the extinguished torch.
Shu Ling successively made torches*5, and then traded them back for wood*10, which was considered a big profit.
The weeds in the stone pot were also cooked, and she fished them out and hung them directly in the trading center for sale.
[Cooked wild vegetables: A serving of 5 wild vegetables can provide about 10 points of satiety. Trade dead grass*5, or wood*2. 】
"It's the big guy who just sold the torch. Fortunately, the big guy's torch saved my life. Otherwise, it would be difficult to judge whether the path I was taking was safe without a map."
"Me too, the resin on the torch the boss gave me, and the strange smell it emits can also affect the monsters who want to hunt us down."
[His Royal Highness Nan]: "No, if it weren't for the torch of the boss, I might not be able to get back to the house alive."
They did not hesitate to take out hay*5 or wood*2 for trading. Four of them, including Qi Xuanze, all traded with hay*5.
Only one of them used wood as a trade, and Shu Ling kept cooking weeds. She sold weeds*120 in groups of 5.
Each weed can provide two points of satiety, which is a very good food for many players, so they all take out the withered grass or wood and trade it with Shulingyi.
After selling all these weeds, including the initial five portions, we will get hay*220 and wood*32.
“The thatched cottage can be upgraded!”
