This Text Adventure Game is Totally Poisonous

[You turned around and ran away without hesitation...]

Then Mu You began to lead the giant towards the lake, and at the same time notified others in the group to prepare for action.

[...The giant's whole body is red, and it approaches you at lightning speed. You quickly turn around to defend yourself from the enemy, but are blown away by the huge force, and your life plummets...]

[The Sin of Anger was triggered, and you immediately caused the same damage to the giant, slightly delaying its offensive...]

[Under the influence of the vampire talent, your real health is slowly recovering at a rate of 1 point + 0.5% of your maximum health per second...]

With the vampire's ability to regenerate blood this time, it is much easier to tangle with this giant. He can even escape and defend himself. By the time the opponent catches up with him and strikes the second blow, the damage from the previous attack has often been fully recovered.

After chasing and escaping for about half an hour, Mu You finally led the giant to the beach again.

[The wind ahead suddenly increases, and you appear in front of a stormy sea. your choice……】

[You activated ‘Existence’, and your sense of existence became extremely thin. 】

[You plunged into the cold water. 】

[The giant from behind arrived in an instant, but stopped suddenly before approaching the seaside...]

[The giant looked at the rolling waves in front of him and beat his chest angrily, but he did not dare to cross the thunder pool after all. After glaring at the water surface angrily, he could only turn around helplessly...]

Everything seemed to be a replica of the last time. Mu You played with the giant twice in the same place. The difference was that this time it was not so easy for the giant to leave.

[...The giant cursed and turned back. However, at this moment, waves suddenly surged on the surface of the water, and a sullen low roar sounded from the depths of the water. 】

[You look back and see a huge shadow passing by you like lightning, jumping out of the water and swooping towards the giant on the shore. 】

[Through the turbulent river surface, you can see clearly that it is an octopus as big as a mountain. Its tentacles are covered with suckers, its mouthparts are sharp, and its copper-colored eyes are shining with cold blood. 】

[The giant was caught off guard and was instantly knocked down by the octopus monster. He hurriedly struggled to stand up, but the octopus monster's tentacles had already tied him tightly...]

[...The giant's hands were sucked by the suction cups and could not break free... The giant struggled with all his strength, but the octopus monster's tentacles became tighter and tighter. In an instant, the giant's body was covered with scars and bleeding... …]

[…The octopus monster opened its huge mouth and bit into the giant’s head. The giant turned his head to avoid it, and at the same time kicked the monster in the abdomen with his foot. 】

[This kick caused the octopus monster to temporarily let go of its tentacles, and the giant took the opportunity to break free and retreat...]

[However, the octopus monster refused to give up, moved its tentacles together, and chased after it with amazing flexibility...]

[The two giant beasts disappeared into the mist one after another...]

"Let me go, there really is such a thing hidden under the water!"

At the same time that the octopus appeared, Blue Beard made a row of shocked expressions in the group of city lords.

At this moment, there are eleven city masters in the group of city masters. Except for the two city masters, Xingguang and Dark Night, who are away for business, the other nine are all present. Like Mu You, they saw the scene of the octopus monster coming out of the water through the game.

This octopus is much larger than the giant. Even the nine-star giant has no power to resist in front of the octopus.

"Okay, don't be in a daze, don't miss this opportunity, act now!" Mu You typed a reminder.

This time, while the octopus leaves the bottom of the water, it is a perfect opportunity to sneak across to the other side of the black hole to open up wasteland. Of course, the more people there are in this matter, the better.

But the staff is too messy and difficult to manage, and things can go wrong easily. If there is too much noise, it would be terrible for the giant to be alert in advance.

So Mu You only notified a few city lords and asked them to bring their elite members and wait by the lake early.

The others had already been prepared. As soon as the octopus appeared, they were all amazed and immediately issued orders to their respective groups.

For a time, nearly a thousand players jumped into the water like dumplings.

Mu You also immediately controlled the character to dive.

[The light underwater is thin and freezing cold. Only the luminous water plants along the coast provide some light for the dark bottom...]

[You dive downwards, and several octopuses several meters long suddenly appear around you. After swimming around you for several times, they suddenly attack you...]

Mu You's character is still wearing the shed skin of the Octopus King, but this is probably because he attacked the big octopus last time, and this time the octopus skin didn't work, and these small octopuses directly regarded him as their enemy.

[You summoned the skin of God, resisted a round of octopus attacks, and then broke through more and more octopuses around you, speeding up and swimming downwards...]

[You activated ‘Existence’, your sense of existence became extremely thin, and the octopuses chasing behind you immediately lost track of you...]

[You took the opportunity to dive down and temporarily escaped the pursuers...]

Mu You had the blood law to protect him, so he could escape so easily, but others were not so lucky.

There are thousands of little octopuses under the water, too many. Almost everyone among the hundreds of them has been entangled by octopuses.

Fortunately, this kind of small octopus is not very strong. Its body length of several meters is actually at the level of two to three stars in the world of giants.

The players rely on mutual cooperation. As long as they are not too unlucky and get entangled by more than a dozen at the same time, one of the three or two people can always escape.

At this time, Mu You didn't care about anyone else and dived alone.

More than ten minutes later, Mu You reached the bottom of the lake first.

[The rocks at the bottom of the lake are covered with vegetation, and many colorful and exotic plants grow...]

[At a glance, you can see the dark circular gap in the center of the lake bottom, which is the 'black vortex'...]

[You speed up your dive and quickly swim to the top of the dark vortex. 】

[Looking down, I saw that the gap below was as black as ink and bottomless, with undercurrents surging around it, like a giant mouth of a monster that chooses people to eat. 】

[Through the dark vortex, you will instantly reach another vortex far away in the horizon. What will greet you will be a brand new space, but it will also be accompanied by unknown risks. Do you want to step into it? 】

"yes."

[Ignoring the risk, you continued to dive, plunging into the whirlpool. 】

[Before your perspective is swallowed up by darkness, you vaguely hear the familiar roar of the octopus monster again near the water above...]

[Your eyes are completely occupied by darkness...]

[With a strong spin, when your sense of direction is restored again, you have reached another body of water. The biting cold feeling instantly dissipates, replaced by a warm current...]

[Shortly after you appeared, successive figures emerged from the dark vortex behind you...]

"Nah, you survived! That big octopus is so fierce!" Hellboy left a message in the group, looking frightened.

"What happened?" Mu You asked.

"The big octopus just now is back again, chasing us like crazy. It can kill a group of people with one slap. My group of people ran away regardless of their lives. In the end, only a few strong ones survived..." Hellboy explained.

"My side also suffered heavy casualties. Only six of the eighty people survived. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought them here in the first place..." Solomon also sighed.

Mu You received the message from Xiaoya at this time. When he opened it, he saw a crying expression. Even she was killed by the big octopus. You can imagine how many people died in the last wave.

"The giant octopus turned back. Is the giant dead?" Holy Light Nana suddenly asked.

"It's dead. The big octopus realized something was wrong after it bit the giant to death. The good thing is that the giant's body was left behind. Now my people are already condensing the giant's remains." The emperor left a message to explain.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, these people finally did not die in vain. At least their plan to kill with a borrowed knife was successful, and they were lucky enough to get back a complete giant corpse.

"Let's count how many people are left." Mu Youyou.

"I have seven more here!"

"I'm nine."

"I only have three left..."

…

Everyone reported the battle damage of their respective teams.

At last count, more than 900 people were taken into the water, but only 32 survived. The survival rate is quite tragic.

"Still the old rules, we all explore separately and exchange information at any time. In addition, this time we mainly focus on land reclamation, so try not to take risks." Mu You typed.

After finally fighting for the opportunity to open up wasteland, there are only so many people left. Every one of them is very precious. You must be cautious and try to find out the situation here first before talking about anything else.

"OK!"

"clear."

…

Everyone replied one after another, and then ordered their personnel to disperse in all directions.

Mu You also controlled the character to officially start the exploration.

[You dived all the way and quickly surfaced...]

[This warm water is very calm. You swim to the shore easily and climb ashore. 】

[What appears in front of you is a green space with lush grass. Looking up, the thin mist in front of you is billowing from time to time. It's like entering a fairyland. You can see at a glance hundreds of meters away, some pavilions, pavilions, brick walls and tiled houses hidden In the fog, it is vaguely discernible...]

"Pavilions?"

Mu You was stunned.

"Huh? The visibility here is so high!" Someone in the group was already the first to exclaim.

Others also discovered this one after another. At the exit of the Brave Tower, the visibility in the fog was only a few dozen meters, but the visibility here easily exceeded several hundred meters!

However, compared to the visibility issue, what concerned everyone more was the scene they saw.

"Strange, why did I notice that I saw a 'building', and it seemed to be floating on the sea..."

"Me too. Is this a city built on water?"

"Even if it is a city, it should be abandoned. Anyway, there is no reminder to see the shadow of the giant..."

"I don't know. It seems safe here at the moment. Let's take a walk around first..."

…

While everyone was communicating, they continued to explore forward.

Mu You also took out the fog-breaking mirror, preparing to break through the fog and wait and see.

As soon as I wanted to use it, a prompt popped up.

[You take out the fog-breaking lens, only to find that the surface of the lens barrel is stained with some green moss-like substance, which is slippery and sticky, and is spreading rapidly...]

[You tried to activate the fog-breaking mirror... The activation failed. The fog-breaking mirror was soaked in a layer of special substances and was temporarily unavailable. 】

"?"

Mu You frowned and took out other props to look at.

[...Assembly failed, the Demon-Breaking Hand Cannon was impregnated with special substances and blocked, temporarily unusable...]

[…The small buckler is impregnated with a special substance and is temporarily ineffective…]

The results are all the same, all indicating ‘contaminated by special substances’.

"Props can't be used here?" Mu You thought to himself.

Just at this time, news from other people came from the group.

"I'm sorry, why can't I use my props?"

"Me too, all the props are 'rusty'..."

…

Sure enough, he was not the only one who encountered this problem.

Mu You didn't waste any more time trying. There weren't many practical props at the moment. A truly practical pocket watch didn't need to be used in the game.

[You continue to explore forward...]

[You see a familiar green lantern floating on the water bank in front of you, which is exactly the same as the soul-inducing lantern at the exit of the Tower of Brave! 】

"Soul-inducing lamp?" Mu You's eyes lit up.

The presence of a soul-inducing lamp proves that a fool has set foot in this place, and he might be able to find the message left by his ancestors.

[You quickly ran to the front of the green lantern and reached out to touch the green lantern...]

[However, your palm passed through the lamp and did not touch any entity...]

"Eh?" Mu You was stunned. What's going on? It's fake? phantom?

Just then, news from other people appeared in the group.

"Holy shit, what the hell!"

"What's wrong?"

"Suddenly it reminded me that I hit a tree..."

"...Are you walking with your eyes closed?"

"No, I obviously didn't see anything in front of me, but suddenly it prompted me to hit a tree!"

"Ah? Then how do you know you hit a tree?"

"Because after hitting the tree, my character said he felt the shape of a big tree in front of him, but couldn't see it..."

"Invisible tree?"

"It seems to be true! I also received a reminder just now!"

"Did you hit a tree too?"

"No, I was attacked by some kind of 'invisible thing'!"

"Everyone, be careful. There are really monsters here, and they are transparent. Some of my men have already died..."

…

Continuous discussions quickly made the atmosphere in the group tense.

This is the most uncomfortable part of opening up a new world. Everything ahead is completely unfamiliar and there is nothing to refer to. This sense of unknown is the scariest thing.

"Invisible trees...invisible monsters..."

Mu You couldn't help but frown when he looked at the news from everyone in the group.

Combined with the green lantern phantom he just encountered, he had a bold guess: Could it be that everything they saw now was fake, and the real scene in front of them was obscured by these phantoms, so they couldn't see it ?

Mu You immediately controlled the character to touch around.

Sure enough, except for the ground, all the objects around him that caught his eye were 'passing through' when he touched them. They had no substance at all. Instead, he bumped into several 'invisible' rocks and trees along the way and hit his head. Broken blood flow.

It feels as if the vision has been transferred to another place, and what is seen in the eyes is a completely unrelated scene. Instead, the real scene you are in can only be explored through other senses such as hearing, touch, and so on.

Mu You immediately informed others of this discovery.

"It seems to be real, the obstacles seen around are all fake!"

"Oh my god, forget it if the props are ineffective. We have deprived ourselves of our vision. How can we open up wasteland? Are a group of blind people playing blind men and elephants?" Someone couldn't help complaining.

"The most important thing is that there are monsters around..."

…

The news announced by Mu You cast a layer of gloom over everyone's already low confidence.

"Don't worry, these monsters don't seem to be able to see us..." At this time, the emperor suddenly left a message.

"Yes." Mu You spoke almost at the same time as him.

During the discussion just now, he had successfully solved an 'invisible' monster by backtracking.

[You killed the ‘Poison Gland Conch’ (2 stars) and obtained 1 conch shell fragment and 1 sweet dream powder...]

Mu You deliberately retraced the process of killing this monster dozens of times and used various methods to test it. The results proved that the conch could not see him. As long as he made a slight detour, the opponent would face the whole process. The air is a battle of wits and courage.

In other words, all creatures here are equal in terms of vision, and they are all blind.

"Did you kill the monster? Did anything special emerge?" At this time, the emperor sent a message asking.

"In addition to the basic materials, something called 'Dream Powder' was revealed. What about you?" Mu You returned. The other party has obviously gone through a similar test of killing monsters. If you ask now, it is likely that special items have also been revealed.

"Mine is called 'Nightmare Pink'." The emperor replied.

"oh?"

Mu You first clicked and looked at the description of ‘Dream Powder’.

[Sweet Dream Powder: After taking it, you will have a sweet dream the next time you fall asleep. 】

The Emperor also sent a message from the 'Nightmare Fan', which was almost the same as the description given by the Dream Fan, except that the dream turned into a nightmare in the end.
