The other two also received the same task. They looked at Lin Qiushuang together, hoping that the veteran could give some instructions.

This tree really looks a bit weird. In this copy that is already weird enough, if possible, they really don't want to touch these strange things with their own hands.

"There is no room for operation in this matter. Since the task is so required, you must do it, but you'd better be careful, you can wear gloves and don't touch it directly. I have only this advice."

Seeing that the veteran did not give more help directly, the couple was hesitant, but Qi Yuanze had already stood on tiptoe and picked a green fruit.

The fruit is only the size of a ping-pong ball, and is a bit like apricot solid. There is a clear dent on the surface. Qi Yuanze broke it hard along the traces and easily divided the fruit into two halves, revealing a bright red flesh that looks like peach flesh.

There are no seeds in the middle of the flesh, and the broken surface is very smooth, as if it should have been separated.

Qi Yuanze looked at the flesh, smelled it, and then threw it into his mouth without hesitation and ate the fruit decisively.

"Wait." Yu Yueming was shocked by his reckless behavior, "Why are you doing eating this thing?"

"It's quite sweet and delicious." Qi Yuanze was still in a mood to comment on the taste, "Since there was an external rescue after someone disappeared, it means that there is still a connection with the outside world. If something happens, someone will take care of it. I used this phone to check the information about this attraction online, but I didn't see negative news. Many tourists ate the fruit before. Since there has never been any trouble, there should be no big problem."

"It makes sense." Yu Yueming nodded, and then added with the thinking of running the group, "But how can you be sure that the tourists who returned safely were themselves?"

"..." Qi Yuanze choked, "Are you telling ghost stories?"

Yu Yueming responded seriously: "I am analyzing it seriously."

"Forget it, I've eaten it all." Qi Yuanze sighed, and suddenly picked another fruit and handed it to Yu Yueming, "It's really delicious, how about it, don't you come?"

Why is this man so ripe? Yu Yueming was shocked by the fruit he suddenly handed over, subconsciously waved his claws and slapped the fruit aside.

However, the moment he touched the fruit, the old pendant attached to his chest suddenly became hot, and a heat flow rushed from the position where the pendant was attached to him and gathered at the part where the paws were in contact with the fruit.

The next moment, the fruit that slowly rolled to the side after landing suddenly burst out, and the flesh twisted and bonded, forming tentacles with fangs and claws, swinging into the air in disorder.

A strong sense of disgust surged from the bottom of his heart, and Yu Yueming tensed his body instantly and bared his fangs at the remains of the fruit.

"Get back!" Lin Qiushuang reacted quickly, grabbed Qi Yuanze who was closest to him and pulled him away, and at the same time he spoke to remind everyone.

The tentacle-like monster with the cracked fruit was squirming, as if it would jump up at any time. Its edges slowly grew tooth-like organs, and eyelid-like cracks gradually appeared on the surface.

Yu Yueming tightened his muscles. Seeing the fruit squirming towards him, he immediately slapped his claws in a conditioned manner and bounced it out.

The tips of his claws condensed into the hot flow of the pendant again, and the part where the fruit hit him dissolved and roted instantly.

It kept twitching, bounced and struggled like a dying insect. Soon, its movements gradually lost strength and finally fell to the ground, scattered into the mud like meat, gradually penetrated into the soil.

Yu Yueming stared at the scene blankly for a while, rubbed his claws hard on the ground, and slowly turned his gaze to Qi Yuanze.

This brother, you are very brave. Did you actually eat this thing just now?

Lin Qiushuang may have been used to this kind of scene and did not react much. She just urged the remaining two people to say: "Come on the task quickly and pick a fruit."

"Pick this thing?!" Wang Ruihao, who was so scared by the previous monster that he took a few steps back, shouted in disbelief, "That's just a monster! How could I touch such a thing?!"

"At least it won't die immediately. This situation is not too strange in the dungeon." Lin Qiushuang glanced at Xu Ya, who was frightened and fell down next to her and said nothing because of fear. After waiting for a while, seeing that neither of them did not take action, she sighed and continued, "Then I'll give you some time to prepare for your mentality. Let's explore here first."

Everyone searched around. The area where the sacred tree was located was empty, and it looked like an ordinary observation deck. The situation was clear and there was nothing special. In the end, the players found nothing and found meaningful information.

During the search process, Yu Yueming always couldn't help looking in the direction of the sacred tree. Not to mention the strange fruits before, he did not directly feel the strange smell or disgust when facing this tree, but there was always an uneasiness lingering in his mind, making him unable to help but tense his body and look vigilant.

During this period, the two players finally overcome their psychological barriers and trembled and picked a fruit each. After getting it, they immediately threw it away as if they had taken a hot potato, and they were out of sight.

Lin Qiushuang noticed Yu Yueming's abnormality. After confirming that there was no information worth exploring, she made a decision.

"It's not necessarily safe here, let's leave first."

——

The last trace of the missing person discovered by the search and rescue team was located on the edge of a viewing platform next to the downhill section.

After arriving, Lin Qiushuang did not rush to conduct a search, but signaled everyone to take a break first.

After more than an hour of tossing back and forth, the group of people was exhausted. Although Yu Yueming was not tired at all, he still found a clean place to sit down, took a bottle of mineral water, and carefully held it with his claws to drink.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Hey, the task has been updated."

On the side, Qi Yuanze suddenly sighed.

"The previous fruit picking task has ended, and now it shows the 'final mission', which requires me to stay in the village or this scenic spot for another day."

"The same is true for your mission?"

Lin Qiushuang looked at the remaining two and received a nodded affirmative reply.

Yu Yueming looked at the task without any progress on his panel, and then looked at the other novices who had already glimpsed the dawn of success, and began to suspect that he had taken on a fake novices task.

Lin Qiushuang asked: "What are you going to do next? Are you going to continue to do the tasks with us?"

"Of course!" Qi Yuanze took the lead in making a statement. The other two just opened their mouths and did not reply immediately, as if they were still hesitating.

Lin Qiushuang didn't seem to have to ask them for answers, and did not continue to ask questions.

But Yu Yueming suddenly thought of something and said curiously: "If the tasks are different, what would happen if a group of people completed their tasks ahead of time?"

"People who complete the final mission can leave the dungeon early."

"Can you leave early... or choose to stay?"

"In theory, however, if you continue to stay, you may encounter other dangers in the dungeon." Lin Qiushuang explained, "At this point, let me explain the premise of leaving the dungeon. Just completing the final task is actually only a prerequisite for leaving the dungeon. To really leave the dungeon, you still need to reach a 'safe place'. Taking this dungeon as an example, the so-called 'safe place' is probably 'outside this village'."

Are you talking about such an important thing now? Yu Yueming looked at her in shock.

Lin Qiushuang seemed to understand his eyes: "It's useless to say these things too early. But since I have said them all, I'll explain them in detail.

“It’s not just a ‘safe place’, but the key is that players need to be in a ‘safe state’ where they will not encounter danger again.

"Take this copy as an example. If you can complete the final task safely, then as long as you leave the village area smoothly, you can automatically be teleported back to the space before we entered the copy.

“However, in this process, if you are discovered by monsters and chased, then even if you leave the village, the player cannot leave the dungeon because the state of the player is not a ‘safe state’.

"Of course, if you can finally get rid of the monster, you can still leave the dungeon smoothly. For example, after finding the traffic vehicle and setting a sufficient distance, you can meet the conditions for leaving the dungeon.

"In the primary copy, the safe location is generally clear. After a more advanced copy, you have to rely on various clues to determine the location of the safe location.
