Chapter 172 : The Gaze of the Evil Spirit
() Joseph was startled by those dead eyes, and he immediately turned around and put his face close to Snod's belly. The poor child was so frightened that he was helpless, and the bursts of sobbing made his thin body feel as if it had been hit by cold rain.
The wet leaves trembled so much that one felt pity. Even the most ignorant person knew what happened. The scene of Orlando being killed kept replaying in Joseph's mind.
"Brother...brother..."
The cries of grief turned from inaudible to loud crying, and Joseph hugged Snod in pain and wailed.
"Poor child," Snowder sighed and said to Wang Hu, "It seems that another innocent person has been killed in the hands of these zombies."
Wang Hu was silent in response, but his black pupils were burning with angry flames. He opened his mouth and took in a breath of cold air in the cold night. He immediately felt a biting cold air flowing through his body like a snake. His back was burning.
The pain made him realize that he was injured.
The blue ring armor was torn into two pieces by the poet's sharp claws, and only a few rings survived to support the 20 kilograms of armor alone.
The muscles on his back were severely torn, with bones even exposed in some places. Wang Hu grinned and took out a can of Yunnan Baiyao spray and sprayed it on his back. These over-the-counter medicines purchased from the server space have changed. Just need to
Spray once to close more serious damage.
At the same time, it can also relieve severe pain and restore 25 hp points per second, up to 500 points. The administration can be repeated until the hp value is filled up. The interval must exceed 3 minutes and the use must not exceed 24 hours.
5 times.
Such a powerful potion costs a lot of money. Each can requires 450 overclocking points.
Even the wealthy Wang Hu only prepared five cans.
What's even more sad is that Wang Hu was penniless at this time. Except for upgrading his skills, all his overclocking points were looted by Snod and Sphinx. Even the armor was bought at the cheapest price, black iron grade.
The ring armor is really unreliable and is no different from paper.
"Damn it, I didn't expect to encounter this situation as soon as it appeared. There is no room for buffering. Where are we now? The golden plot you mentioned refers to this place where birds don't shit?"
Wang Hu tapped his fingers in the air a few times, and the virtual terminal immediately popped up a drop-down menu on his retina.

Mission introduction: No news of the disastrous defeat of the Noxian army on the Forsaken Plains has been reported back to the city-state. The generals and high-ranking commissioners in the army decided to conceal the news. They wrote to Supreme Commander Burnham Darkway.
General Er's report stated that 'your army is invincible,' and at the same time the city-state nobles suggested lowering the age of conscription to fourteen years old. A conspiracy shrouded the skies of Nodessa.
At the same time, a famine came quietly in the east ruled by Noxus. All villages were struggling to die from starvation. In this desolate land, tragic scenes were happening. For a mouthful of food, beautiful people
Women show their youthful bodies again and again. Babies who starve to death are dug out and put into pots again after being buried. Men even don't mind licking women's menstruation just to get some meat.
When all the sufferings come at the same time, the evil spirits start the carnival before the feast in hell!
"Didn't you realize that this is a prime spot for spawning monsters?" Nets Nord moved his lips and said to Wang Hu in his personal channel, "The thick trees here have good terrain conditions for monsters to gather to a certain extent, and the land area is
The snow is thick enough to slow down the monster!"
After saying this, Snowder held Joseph in his arms and used his own body temperature to warm the frozen child. It was simply unbelievable that a man who had always been a germophobe held a child covered in snow foam and stains.
Wang Hu walked up to the poet's corpse, split open the corpse's head with the kukri in his hand, and reached out to search for the broken skull and brain. One eyeball was crushed to pieces by the sharp blade. He cursed in a low voice and used two
Hold the other intact eyeball between your fingers and put it into your personal space.
"Are you kidding? The so-called golden monster spawning point must have 4 or more monsters appearing in a certain area at the same time. Of course I understand what you mean. Each golden monster spawning point is the key to upgrading and exploding high-grade equipment.
Way. But you have to consider our strength. There is no news about Sphinx and Pistol at the moment. How can we kill 4 zombies with just the two of us, and these zombies are all elite level!"
Snowy nodded in disbelief. Since entering the golden plot, the four of them have lost contact. The distance is at least more than 2 kilometers, otherwise the personal channel would not have no response. And Snowy is also kind of bad.
My guess is that the four people did not enter the plot at the same time, and the Sphinx or the pistol may have been frozen in the plot!
It's not that they were isolated from the plot, but that there was a phenomenon similar to connection delays. For example, four people logged into the game at the same time. Some people entered the game early with a high network speed, while others were unable to successfully connect.
Of course, this kind of freezing is intentional on the part of the server. A series of task data has not started to be transmitted, and no disconnection will occur.
He buried this worry deep in his heart. He must not let out a single word at this time, otherwise Wang Hu would go berserk on the spot. After all, even coaxing and deceiving and extorting thousands of overclocking points had already made this money-hungry arms dealer dissatisfied.
.
After Wang Hu buried the poet's body in snow, the two of them, guided by Joseph, went to the place where Orlando was killed. Except for the snow stained red with blood, they found no valuable clues.
Orlando's body is missing!
This confirmed Snod's guess that there were many zombies like the poet in this area, and they also met the mission requirements.
However, they are now unable to clear out the monsters in the woods, so they can only put this task aside for the time being. Fortunately, the server does not require a time to complete the evil gaze, otherwise they will definitely be judged as a mission failure.
After returning home with Joseph who was tired from crying, Wang Hu told the child's mother Jessica the bad news. The grief-stricken mother almost collapsed.
Wang Hu smiled bitterly and knocked the crazed woman unconscious, then settled the mother and son.
"They need to rest now," he said in annoyance, "We still don't know the specific location of this place. How far it is from the main city of Noxus."
The two of them trudged in the snow all night. Naturally, they were sleepy and tired. Snow was a man whose feet never touched the ground. The job of lighting the fire fell on Wang Hu, and the dim fire was about to go out.
Under Wang Hu's care, he started dancing happily again.
Snod searched for clues in the living room of the house, and it took him a long time to find a roll of crumpled parchment from the closet.
This is one of the foods that Jessica reserves. The paper made of lambskin was originally smooth on both sides. There were large pieces of text written on it. The writing soaked in water was a little blurry, but it could still be barely legible.
Wang Hu sat on the chair in the living room, staring at the parchment. This was a document issued by the city-state of Noxus, but somehow it appeared in Joseph's home.
This line of text begins with the words: "The spy from Demacia, Bierhoff, confessed his crimes under torture."
Wang Hu read it over and over again without moving his eyes away. He realized that this piece of parchment was obviously not that simple, and it was probably a mission node.
It's just that Jessica, who was knocked unconscious, won't wake up for seven or eight hours, and the mission cannot be triggered at all.
"Damn it!" Wang Hu cursed in a low voice with some regret. This piece of parchment recorded Bierhoff's life. The lines of text represented the weight of this person's past. The more he read, the more he felt.
Deeper and deeper. The unfortunate guy who was convicted of being a spy was just a veterinarian in the city-state. After treating the pet of a Demacian diplomat, the guy was secretly arrested by the Military Justice Department.
This led to a very important espionage case, but Wang Hu chuckled and said to Snowder, "This is obviously a frame-up. What valuable information can be obtained under torture? I'm afraid this person was wrongly accused!"
"
After a brief description of the case, a long list appeared at the back of the article. All of them were accomplices named by Bierhoff, and the traces of fabrication were very obvious.
Abigail Raymond, landlord, executed.
Abby Rachel, drug supplier, sentenced to twenty-five years in prison.
Adelaide Weston, groom, sentenced to forty years.
Sandra Robb, at large.
…
Bierhoff grew up in Noxus, and had he not been lame, he would have joined the army. Unfortunately, an illness prevented him from being drafted into the army when he was three years old. Despite this, he was punished by military justice.
It was regarded as a premeditated crime of treason. In Bierhoff's limited life, the list of defendants covered half a piece of parchment, with almost more than two hundred names.
They were either neighbors, friends, or relatives. Anyone related to Bierhoff appeared on this list, including a 5-year-old child, who was charged with passing on information.
This piece of parchment was enough to get two blocks of people wiped out by the military justice.
This is not a spy case. Bierhoff is simply planning to form an army in the main city of Noxus. Wang Hu noticed the loopholes in the text. The peak period was all concentrated in one month. The next
No one appeared again in time. This shows that Bierhoff has been able to implicate everyone he knows.
"Isn't it ridiculous?" Snod said with a smile, "Sphynx also concocted a similar incident in CIA. In 2010, they arrested 10 Rakshasa agents lurking in the United States and took all the beautiful agent Chapman.
Everyone I know will be deported!”
