I Became the King of Villains In the Game Chapter 168

  Chapter 168 The Scary Bard (Two in One)

  Boom!

  The trumpet musket sprayed out flames, and countless small steel **** spit out from the barrel of the gun.

  A plague lunatic was blown away, bleeding profusely after falling to the ground.

   "It's your turn, bro, go get the kill reward."

   Rotten Persimmon reloaded the ammunition by himself, raised his eyelids and said to a teammate whom he loves next to him.

   "Thank you, Brother Rotten Persimmon."

  The latter smiled, and under the envious eyes of others, he rushed forward excitedly, raised the hatchet in his hand, and killed the plague lunatic.

  Others also received a small portion of experience points because of the team formation.

   "Brother Rotten Persimmon, we have been brushing here for several days, do we want to continue?"

  Someone spoke.

   "I feel that the number of 'Plague Madmen' nearby has decreased, and it seems that they won't refresh... There are more and more newcomers in the town. If this continues, the area will soon be free of blame."

  Lan Persimmon did not answer immediately, but opened his own panel.

  He looked at the "LV9" behind the sub-profession [Church Guard], and then chose to upgrade. After a moment of blurring, the number immediately became "LV10".

  Lan Shi closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

   is back, finally back, and his level is finally back to level 10!

  At this time, Rotten Shimaki wanted to shout loudly, but because of the ups and downs these days, his temper of jumping out was slightly precipitated. Coupled with the fact that there were seven or eight god-loving "brothers" watching, he felt that he should not lose too much, so he suppressed his excitement.

  Lan Shi told himself to keep a low profile and stop being reckless.

   "Stop swiping, we're leaving Emerald Town today."

  He put away the trumpet gun in his hand, and answered the teammate's question just now.

   "Where is that going?"

  A companion asked.

   Lan Shi turned his head and glanced at him, then glanced at the others.

   "Amber City."

   From Emerald Town to Amber City, the most convenient and cost-effective way is naturally to take the train.

  However, the nearest train station to Emerald Town is not a short distance away. If you walk, it will take about half a day.

  In order to get to the train station before dark, Lanshi led the team early, left Emerald Town and started on their way.

  Patter!

   Rotten persimmon crushed the dead branch with one foot, making a crisp sound.

  He raised his hand to block the sun, squinted and looked around. The scorching high temperature distorted the air, and the dazzling brilliance shone on the sand and gravel road, and the heat wave hit our faces.

   "Find a cool place to rest, it's too hot, and my health is slowly being deducted..."

   Rotten Persimmon said to his companion.

  The others couldn't bear the heat for a long time, and when they heard the voice of the leading brother, they immediately stepped forward and ran towards a big tree beside the road.

   A group of seven or eight people squeezed together in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool.

  Lan Persimmon opened the panel map and checked the information on it. The area that was originally covered by fog dissipated after he bought the map of Emerald Town, and now he could clearly find the location of "Emerald Town Railway Station".

   "Keep going, there's only one or two hours away..."

   Rotten Persimmon took out the water bottle, took a sip, and encouraged him.

  Others were not very interested when they heard it. The weather is really tormenting.

   "It's just a pity that I didn't meet the bandit team, otherwise I could get some experience by the way... Didn't you say that the road leading to the train station is full of bandits?"

   Seeing this, Rotten Persimmon changed the subject and asked.

  A teammate wiped his sweat, shook his head and said:

   "The plague broke out, and the robbers in the wilderness are probably almost dead... And even if there are survivors, it's not so 'dedicated' in this hot weather, right?"

   "Makes sense..."

   Rotten Persimmon responded.

  At this moment, everyone suddenly heard a scream and vague curses from a distance.

   "...stop chasing me! Damn it! I know I'm handsome, but you don't need to be so pestering me!"

  Lan Shi and other teammates looked at each other.

   "Go! Go and see! Maybe there are robbers around here!"

   Immediately, a group of people ran towards the source of the sound.

   Not long after, they saw a blond young man running wildly on the grass on the side of the main road, and behind him was chasing a disease lunatic in ragged clothes.

  The blond young man wore a hat with feathers and a dirty cloak. He looked very down and out, but it couldn't conceal his noble temperament and handsome appearance.

   The plague lunatic chasing behind him was a middle-aged man with the appearance of a robber, holding a hatchet in his hand, and he chased after the blond young man with a strange smile.

"what!"

  The blond youth accidentally tripped over a stone.

  He turned around, staring wide-eyed, watching the plague lunatic charge forward, raising his hatchet.

  Boom!

   A gunshot.

  The madman who was about to attack suddenly flew sideways, and the hatchet in his hand fell to the ground with a snap.

  Lan Persimmon led the team over.

  He asked someone to make up the knife to kill the plague lunatic who was shot and fell to the ground, and then he looked at the blond youth.

   "Alex...?"

  He lost a probe and found that this was an ordinary person, and was immediately disappointed.

   Originally thought that saving him would trigger some mission, but now nothing happened.

   "Thank you for your helping hand."

  Alex got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and saluted very gracefully.

   "Let me introduce myself, I am Alex, a great bard."

   He wiped the dirt off his face and smiled broadly.

   "But in fact, I don't need your help... Even if you don't come, I will be fine. I'm just playing around with this patient."

  Alex ignored the collapsed expressions of Rotten Persimmon and the others, and glanced at the corpse at his feet.

  He remembered something, bent down and picked up the hatchet, and fastened it to his waist.

  "Actually, I am embarking on an adventure journey that belongs to my world. These dangers are just my flavoring agent, not worth mentioning... You even interrupted my interest, which is very rude."

   Alex talked eloquently.

  Lan Shi was already impatient, and a team member behind him also couldn't understand this ordinary NPC talking big, so he interrupted Alex's words:

   "Okay, you bragging idiot, our elder brother saved your life, so you should get out of here quickly... I hope that next time you are in danger, no one will help you."

   "I'm not bragging!"

  Alex frowned, looking a little displeased.

   "Okay, let's go."

  Lanshi was too lazy to waste words with a foolish NPC, greeted his teammates, and planned to leave.

   But Alex suddenly stopped them, took out the hatchet hanging from his waist, and stared at them angrily.

   "You question me! You still laugh at me and humiliate me! I, Alex, the great bard, don't allow you to trample on my dignity like this!"

  He raised the hatchet in his hand and pointed at Rotten Persimmon and his group.

   "I want to challenge you to a duel! If you are a gentleman, accept the challenge bravely, otherwise you are a bunch of cowards!"

  Everyone couldn't help being taken aback.

   Lan Shi frowned, he didn't expect things to turn out like this. The brain of the NPC in front of him is probably broken to a certain extent, he is even crazier than a disease lunatic.

   "Huh? Really not afraid of death!"

   A team member behind Rotten Persimmon spoke.

  He walked to the side of Rotten Persimmon and whispered a few words. It means that this blond idiot looks good and has an extraordinary temperament. Maybe he has a hidden identity. Just kill him, and maybe he can reveal something.

  Lan Shi frowned, thinking it made sense, so he nodded slightly at him.

   "Come, I accept your challenge, let's fight!"

   This beloved guild member, after greeting Lan Shi, walked straight forward and stood facing Alexis.

   "Have guts! Then don't talk nonsense, just start!"

  Alex yelled with his hips on his hips.

   Immediately afterwards, he raised his hatchet and strode towards his opponent with great momentum.

   "Dragon Slaying Axe!"

   With a ferocious face, he yelled and slammed down the hatchet!

  The others were taken aback by his shout.

  Dragon Slaying Axe? !

Snapped!

  The player who was dueling with Alex held a rusty sickle, raised his weapon and hooked the handle of the axe.

  He was originally a little nervous, but suddenly turned into disdain, and then with a little force, he overturned Alex's hand.

   The hatchet slammed and fell to the ground.

"That's it?"

  The player sneered, raised his hand, and the sickle passed across Alex's neck.

  Puff Chi-!

  Alexis' eyes were round, and his expression was startled.

   "My... adventure in the world is coming to this... Is it over?"

  His throat was cut and blood spurted out. In the next second, his body softened and he fell to the ground.

  A harmonica fell out of his arms.

  【You killed the bard Alex, and gained 10 experience points! 】

  The players participating in the duel curled their lips, wiped the blood on the sickle, and then bent down to pick up the harmonica on the ground.

  【Sundries-Harmonica】

  Item Description: An ordinary wooden harmonica, a small wind instrument. Its original owner seems to be a wandering bard, unfortunately, he was brutally murdered in a duel.

   "Bah, what rubbish."

  The player spit and threw the harmonica away.

   "It's just an ordinary NPC with only 10 experience points, and it didn't trigger any other prompt boxes..."

   "It goes without saying, because each of us is only allocated 1 experience point."

   Someone responded with a smile.

  Lan Shi sighed, shook his head and said:

   "Let's go, don't waste time."

   "Okay, Brother Rotten Persimmon."

  The group ignored the corpses on the ground and left here.

  A certain player walking behind the team even picked up the hatchet. There is no way, they are really poor, and they don't even have a decent piece of equipment. This hatchet is much easier to use than a rusty kitchen knife.

  Continue walking like this for about ten minutes, when everyone suddenly heard screams and curses again.

   "...Damn beast! Made me slip! Oh my handsome face, just like that with disgusting dirt! Get the **** out! Don't chase me!"

  Lanshi and his teammates looked at each other, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

   "Go and see..."

  Lan Persimmon gave an order, and then led the team to run to the source of the sound.

   After a few breaths, they left the main road, and at the foot of a hillside covered with weeds, they saw a blond young man being chased by a mad dog infected with the disease.

  The blond young man wears a hat with feathers on his head and a dirty cloak. His handsome appearance and tall stature...

  Including Rotten Persimmon, seven or eight players were dumbfounded.

   Isn't the guy being hunted down by the dog in front of him the wandering bard from earlier? ! But he was killed just now, why did he appear here again in the blink of an eye? !

   Resurrected from the dead?

   Or another twin brother?

"what!"

  The blond youth was thrown to the ground.

  The mad dog opened its mouth full of saliva and bit down on his neck.

   "Brother Rotten Persimmon..."

  The companions of God's Love Guild looked at Lan Persimmon.

   But this time, Rotten Persimmon just frowned and stood quietly on the spot, watching with hands tied. There was no rescue like before.

   "Ahh!"

   With a scream, the blond youth was bitten through the throat by a mad dog, blood was splashed everywhere, his hands and feet twitched and struggled for a while, and then became silent.

   Rotten Persimmon led his teammates closer, and shot the mad dog eating the corpse to death.

  Then the group of them gathered around the body of the blond youth and looked at it for a while.

   "This...is the bard from before, who seems to be the guy named 'Alex', why did he appear again?"

   "Is it possible that they look alike but are not the same person?"

   "No, it is indeed him. I just checked it with 'Explorer'... It's called 'Alexis'."

  Lanshi frowned and said.

  When the others heard it, they immediately felt creepy.

  They saw with their own eyes that this guy was killed by his teammates, and even received a kill prompt, and the experience points were all distributed. Why did he appear again? !

  This is completely unreasonable!

   Rotten Persimmon took a step forward, picked up the harmonica that fell by Alex's hand, and wiped the blood stains on it.

  【Sundries-Harmonica】

  Item Description: An ordinary wooden harmonica, a small wind instrument. Its original owner appears to have been a wandering bard. Unfortunately, while traveling, he was killed by a mad dog infected with the disease.

  Lanshi thought for a while, put the harmonica in his hand into his pocket, then turned around, and took the lead.

   "Go! Get out of here quickly!"

   he whispered.

   "Let's hurry to the train station, this thing is so weird!"

   The others looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes.

   "It's really weird, let's go!"

"Walk!"

  Lanshi took the lead and started running forward, and the members of the same team also followed, gritted their teeth and ran.

  They have just logged into this game not long ago, and their first impression of this world is gloomy and depressing.

   These two days they have been brushing monsters on the map of "Plague District", and their nerves are a little weak. Not long after he left, he encountered such an even more eerie and frightening incident.

  It is really frightening.

  The afternoon sun is getting hotter and hotter, and the temperature is getting hotter.

   After running for a few minutes, they all stopped.

  Following Rotten Persimmon's gaze, the team members looked towards the hillside in front of the right, and saw a blond young man hanging upside down from a tree.

   They looked at the man quietly, and the man was also upside down, looking at them, looking at each other.

  In this scorching summer day, Lan Shi and his party broke out in a cold sweat!

   "Then... is that guy a ghost?!"

   Someone said in a trembling tone.

   "I don't play anymore! I feel like my sleep pod is moving!"

  The two sides are tens of meters apart.

  Alex seemed to be hanging from a tree because he stepped on some trap and seemed to be caught by someone.

  He showed no fear, staggered in mid-air, and waved to Lan Shi and his group.

   "Hey! Passing travelers, hello!"

  Alex was very happy to see the players, and twisted in mid-air.

  "Are you trying to save me? Ha! Thanks a lot! But you don't have to!

  I, Alex, am a great bard and an adventurer who wants to travel around the world. This little danger is not a problem for me! "

  He fumbled around for a while, and then took out a harmonica, hanging upside down like this, playing a beautiful melody.

  Lan Shi stared at it with wide eyes, stretched out his hand into his pocket, but trembled suddenly.

  He found that the harmonica he picked up before was gone!

   "Let's go! Let's go!"

   Rotten persimmon can't play so much, amidst the brisk harmonica sound, he turned around and ran crazily.

   Seeing this, the other teammates also buried their heads and ran wildly.

   More than half an hour later.

  Lanshi and his party finally arrived at the train station. They collapsed at the door almost collapsed, drenched and embarrassed.

  The weird things they encountered halfway before are still lingering in their minds, and it feels intrusive to think about it.

   rested for a long time.

  Lan Shi took the lead and stood up with trembling legs.

   "Brothers, we've arrived at the train station! Don't waste time, let's go now!"

  Amidst howling, everyone reluctantly dragged their tired bodies, followed Rotten Persimmon to buy train tickets, and then boarded the train to Amber City.

  As soon as they found their seats and sat down, everyone leaned on the chairs and fell asleep in a daze.

   There is also sleep in the game. This kind of doll-style deep sleep can be understood as a negative state after physical exhaustion, and it can also be regarded as a "cheap means" to restore physical strength and life.

   At some point, it can also be used by players as a way to skip boring time.

  The specific experience is... It is similar to normal sleep when offline, but there is an additional option that can be scheduled.

   I don't know how long it has passed.

   Rotten Persimmon suddenly woke up.

  He glanced around. In the moving train carriage, the companions of God Love Guild were still leaning on the chairs and sleeping, and the other passengers were silently doing their own things.

   Bang Bang Bang Bang Lang Lang…

   The shaking is accompanied by the rhythmic sound of the wheel and rail.

  The scenery outside the window flashed by.

  Lanshi felt a strange uneasiness in his heart. He opened the panel and looked at it. His expression, which he didn't care about at first, suddenly froze.

   "Level down to level 9...?!"

  He stared blankly at the panel with an expression of disbelief.

   "The number of resurrections has also decreased by one?! When is it...?"

  Lanshi was completely in a state of confusion, because he didn't remember when he died once.

  He woke up the others in a panic, and then asked hurriedly in their confused eyes:

   "Take a look at your panel, has the level dropped? Has the number of resurrections decreased?"

   "Level drop? The number of resurrections... decreased?"

  The expressions of the other team members became puzzled, and immediately, under the urging of their eldest brother, Lan Shi, they opened the panel one after another to check.

   Soon, their expressions were exactly the same, and they became extremely surprised.

   "Really...really downgrade! The number of resurrections has also been reduced by one!"

"what happened?!"

   "Why did we all die once? When did it happen? I have no memory at all!"

  They were all slightly flustered.

   Rotten Persimmon took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

  He remembered something, opened the panel again, and carefully looked through the past reminder records.

   Soon, his pupils shrank.

  The latest prompt box shows—

  【You were killed by bard Alexis in your sleep! 】
