Faced with the questioning gazes of the players, Li Mo simply grinned sinisterly, revealing a friendly smile.
But his smile alone was enough to send shivers down the players' spines, their faces turning deathly pale as they hid behind Zhong Mu. "Boss... Boss, why is he here? Is he going to attack us?"
They're counting on the big boss to protect them!
Zhong Mu took a deep breath, forcing down his trembling legs, and tried to calm himself down, saying, "Don't be afraid. This is the same monster from before. I've already subdued it, so it won't attack you."
The players were stunned. "It's become your summoned beast, boss?"
Zhong Mu nodded reluctantly. At this point, no matter what the other party said, he had to agree.
"Wow, you're amazing! You even managed to tame such a terrifying monster and turn it into a summon!" The players' eyes lit up, and their admiration for Zhong Mu grew even stronger.
"What about the one from before? The big, dark blob from yesterday?"
Zhong Mu reacted quickly, "My abilities are limited, I can only summon one, so I gave that one a break."
The players didn't quite understand, but in short, the pro player was incredibly awesome!
"As expected, there's nothing in this dungeon that Yin Xiu can't handle! The hunters are nothing to fear!" Amid the increasingly enthusiastic cheers from the players, Zhong Mu merely gave a perfunctory laugh.
There's a real big shot on the Hunter's side; he still has to be wary of him.
With no attacks from other players in the town during the day and no hunters to be found at night, the current player group is almost in a carefree state. The only thing they need to worry about is that they don't have enough food.
These players have very little food resources. Zhong Mu is the richest among them, but with so many people, the consumption is also high. He has to allocate resources reasonably to ensure that everyone can survive until the seventh day.
After a brief discussion, the group decided to search for the so-called randomly dropped supplies according to the rules, which they had not yet encountered.
After waking up in the afternoon, Yin Xiu carried the little tentacle ball to the cruise ship lobby to look for something.
He remembered that there were all kinds of weapons here, anything that could be used as a weapon. He wandered around and sure enough, he found a fishing rod in the corner. If you cast the fishing hook well, it can kill people.
Yin Xiu, with his fishing rod rolled up, had no intention of killing anyone; he simply went to the deck, sat down, and began fishing.
With nothing to do for the next three days, he figured he'd find something to do, so he decided to relax in the dungeon for a while.
Yin Xiu sat down to fish, and the little tentacled ball of fish splashed around in the seawater. He sat next to it and dozed off, not expecting to catch any sea fish. He just wanted to pack up his line before nightfall.
"Boyfriend!" Just as I was closing my eyes, a bright voice suddenly rang out from beside my feet.
Yin Xiu looked down and saw a wet, black ball lying at his feet, its tiny tentacles curling around the fish and swaying happily. "Give, give, to my boyfriend!"
Yin Xiu stared silently at the fish that were handed to him. He had only come to sit for a while and kill some time, and he was not going to actually take a bunch of fish back with him. But the little tentacle ball seemed to think that he really wanted to fish, and shook the fish on its tentacles to give to Yin Xiu.
"Okay." Yin Xiu reached out and took the fish, placing it aside. "Pretty impressive."
As soon as he finished praising her, the little tentacles happily jumped into the seawater, shouting, "I'll give my boyfriend even more!"
They disappeared into the depths in a flash, and Yin Xiu couldn't stop them.
He helplessly tilted his head back and dozed off. He guessed that when he woke up, he would be surrounded by piles of fish.
With a gentle sea breeze and bright sunshine, Yin Xiu squinted, feeling very comfortable and at ease. Listening to the little tentacle ball splashing back and forth on the sea, he even felt very at ease.
In a daze, he seemed to hear footsteps slowly walking down the deck. Yin Xiu opened his eyes instantly, but there was no one there.
He silently scanned his surroundings, and after confirming that there was no one in sight, he closed his eyes again for a short rest.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, the footsteps suddenly approached again, slow and steady, not very loud, but Yin Xiu heard them very clearly.
At this time, no hunters should be awake; nighttime is their active time. Yin Xiu should be the only one awake on the entire cruise ship.
Yin Xiu frowned slightly, silently gripped the knife at his waist, and then tentatively closed his eyes again.
Sure enough, the moment he closed his eyes, he heard footsteps stop behind him. They were very light and close, but they didn't sound threatening. They seemed to be observing him as they stopped there.
Yin Xiu opened his eyes again, but there was no one there; there was still no one in sight.
He stood up and observed the entire deck. Yin Xiu never thought that what he perceived was an illusion. If he couldn't find it no matter what he did, it must be because the conditions were not right.
He touched his face and realized something: he wasn't wearing a mask.
Since no hunters would wake up, and he was too lazy to keep wearing that mask, that might be the problem.
Thinking it over, Yin Xiu glanced back at the sea. The little tentacle ball hadn't come up yet. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to put on the mask and take another look. So Yin Xiu quickly returned to his room.
As soon as the people left, black tentacles suddenly emerged from the sea, swimming and crawling, carrying fish back to the deck along the edge of the boat.
"Boyfriend! Fish!" She excitedly held up several fish and waved them to surprise her boyfriend, but Yin Xiu was nowhere to be seen.
"Boyfriend...?" The little tentacles wriggled and crawled, grabbing the fish and sniffing it on the ground, following the scent all the way.
When they reached the guest room door, the tiny tentacles suddenly stopped, and countless eyes stared intently at a figure standing in the corridor ahead.
It was a semi-transparent white phantom, with only a human-shaped outline, and its appearance was completely obscured. It simply stood there quietly, motionless.
The door to Yin Xiu's room suddenly opened, and Yin Xiu, wearing a mask, came out of the room and walked straight through the strange figure into the corridor.
"Boyfriend!" The little tentacle ball rushed over in a panic and grabbed Yin Xiu's leg. "A person, a white person!"
"Where?" Yin Zheng adjusted his mask, looked around, but still couldn't see anything.
"Human!" The little tentacles nervously clung to Yin Xiu's leg, pointing intently in the direction of the white phantom, their tentacles stretched into a straight line.
Yin Xiu looked again in the direction the tentacles were pointing, and frowned unhappily.
No, still no.
Even though Li Mo could see it, he still couldn't see it.
What is this thing following me?
