He instantly looked up, and even though it was incredibly dark, he could still see countless sharp points of light suddenly descending upon the entire town.
Zhong Mu instinctively rushed to the nearest eaves and plunged headfirst into it, prepared to have his flesh sliced off.
However, amidst his intense emotions, he heard the clattering sound of knives hitting the ground, but felt no pain.
Zhong Mu cautiously raised his head and discovered that the moment the knife landed on his head, a small cyan protective shield would light up and deflect the knife.
He reached out in confusion, groping around himself, and found that an invisible wall had formed around him, enveloping him, and none of the knives had landed on him.
And there were no screams from players in the distance as he had expected, which meant that everyone was protected by such a barrier...
"What is this?" In Zhong Mu's memory, no one would have such a prop, and no one in the town could use it on such a large scale.
In the darkness, a low, muffled laugh came from the shadows beside Zhong Mu, followed by a familiar voice, "This is my medicine bottle."
Zhong Mu was taken aback, looking to his side in astonishment, "A doctor??"
But he was in the dark and couldn't see anything, only recognize the voice. Fortunately, the doctor couldn't see his disguise either, and could only hear his voice. He didn't notice that Zhong Mu had secretly used a disguise to disguise himself.
"This town is currently in an open state because it has been put into a dungeon, but the dungeon boundaries haven't been set up. As a result, all dungeon bosses can come in, and many dungeon bosses will come in to help cause trouble." Mu He said, while raising her hand to touch the medicine bottle where Zhong Mu was.
"I wrapped everyone in the town with my medicine bottle, so they will be safe from the rain of knives for the time being. You don't need to worry about the people outside."
Zhong Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, doctor!"
"No need to thank me. I'm just helping Ye Tianxuan. I've heard about this town from him before. He cares a lot about it, and as a friend, I won't let his town collapse." Mu He smiled modestly.
"Thank you so much! You've helped us a lot! But those monsters are harming the town, is it alright for you to help the town?"
"It's alright. The Black Cat Faction and the White Cat Faction have always been at odds and have different opinions. Moreover, the current situation is special. These dungeon bosses came in to cause trouble without the Black Cat Faction's consent. They simply hate Yin Xiu and this town. It's an improper act, so we should teach them a lesson."
"So these weren't Lady Ye's arrangements?" Zhong Mu was somewhat bewildered.
"The core members of the Black Cat Faction are all busy with other important matters now. They've caught that big fish, Yin Xiu, and have no time to deal with you. Instead, those dungeon bosses who hold a grudge against the town have taken advantage of the situation to come over." Mu He smiled and looked up, listening to the resentful voices coming from all directions, without saying a word.
"Is our town really that disliked by dungeon bosses?" Zhong Mu was sweating profusely, but upon reflection... it seemed so.
They would frequently enter the dungeon to recruit new players, provide dungeon guides to others, and even ruthlessly enter the dungeon to farm items for the town. The dungeon bosses they encountered were not high-level ones, because these low-to-mid-level dungeon bosses were the unlucky ones who would enter and exit the town to farm dungeon items.
Now that Ye Tianxuan and Yin Xiu are both away, they've come in to take revenge.
Before the rain of knives ended, Zhong Mu hurriedly removed his disguise. Although the doctor couldn't see it, others could. If two doctors appeared in the town, things could get complicated.
The rain of knives continued for a while, and then slowly stopped after realizing that no one had been killed. The bells and the dolls that were wandering around the town disappeared, and the darkness in front of everyone receded.
The people in the town were all bewildered by their narrow escape from death. After the rain stopped, some of the people who had been hiding in their houses came out.
The door to the room closest to Zhong Mu, the one he hadn't been able to enter and had been pushed out of, suddenly opened, and a familiar person walked out.
When Ling Feng came out and saw what was happening outside, he immediately grabbed Mu He's hand and said anxiously, "I heard you suddenly move earlier, and I thought you had been killed by the rabbit, so I went inside to hide. I didn't expect you to be alive! Are you alright?"
Mu He: ...?
He didn't know what had happened, and could only keep smiling. The voice sounded unfamiliar. Did the person in front of him know him? Why didn't he recognize the voice?
Zhong Mu, standing nearby, frantically pounded on the unseen medicine bottle, urgently pleading, "Doctor! Let me out quickly! Hurry, hurry!"
Mu He raised her hand to untie him, and Zhong Mu rushed over, severing Ling Feng's hand from the doctor's, glaring at Ling Feng, "You ingrate! Don't touch him!"
Ling Feng glared at Zhong Mu, his teeth clenched, "What's your relationship?"
Mu He previously showed interest in Zhong Mu, but Zhong Mu's current reaction seems to indicate he's very concerned about Mu He. Could it be that their feelings are mutual?
"It's none of your business!" Zhong Mu was a little nervous, afraid of involving the doctor.
But Ling Feng wouldn't let it go against Mu He, "Why do we have to choose him! What makes him better than me! He's just a useless newcomer!"
Of the three, only Zhong Mu knew the truth. Ling Feng thought the two of them were mutually attracted, while Mu He looked confused, and Zhong Mu was getting anxious in the middle.
Although Mu He didn't understand what had happened, she still smiled and put her hand on Zhong Mu's hand, saying earnestly, "He's really good. He's gentle and considerate. Although he's a newcomer, he has a bright future. I don't know you, but I think he's better than you."
Ling Feng's face darkened instantly, and he looked at Zhong Mu with a fierce gaze.
"He's just an insignificant newcomer... He's stuck in the middle and getting in the way."
His voice was filled with murderous intent. After confirming his thoughts, he acted decisively, throwing out the axe he had taken from Zhong Mu and swiftly slashing at Zhong Mu.
But in just a moment, he was twisted into a wooden figure and fell to the ground.
With two thuds, the axe, prop bag, note, and wooden figure fell to the ground.
Zhong Mu looked down at the things on the ground and suddenly felt a little glad that his prop bag had been taken. With a weapon, Ling Feng's killing intent would be released without any concealment, and he would attack him instead of choosing another way to kill him because he didn't have a weapon.
That's good, it puts the most troublesome person under control right away.
Zhong Mu hurriedly picked up his equipment, while Mu He smiled and asked softly, "Now can you tell me what happened between you, me, and him?"
"I don't think I... know that person from earlier, do I?"
