Volume 9 – Chapter 5: Weak

The thieves using two-handed daggers took advantage as the warrior faced the Minotaur, quickly used the stealth skill to surge towards the Minotaur’s back, and successively activated [Fatal Blows] and [Poisonous Blades].

In the end, the archer – ‘African ~ Did Not Eat Dog Food Yesterday’ used an arrow technique with a bursting effect, which directly exploded the Minotaur’s head.
When the towering Minotaur’s body fell to the ground, it meant that this temporary team had gained a little more merit.

At the same time, under Qian Xiu’s hands, another Minotaur was also defeated. It took almost the same time as the three people over there.

“War Song Gudazi” and others, who were using voice chat, could not help but discuss the chatroom outside of the game.

“This knight has some great skills…”

“But, isn’t he a bit antisocial?”
“Everyone has different personalities. Besides, we don’t know each other. Is it possible to become familiar with each other at once? When we first met Sukumizu, wasn’t it difficult to communicate with him?”

“Damn, how did I get wronged?”

“Gudazi, do you think this Qian Xiu is a veteran in the testing area… or is he a game con artist?”

“I didn’t see him simply buying things, let’s see first… I will talk to him first.”
When these people were discussing outside the game, Qian Xiu was also silently observing Gudazi and others’ cooperation. At the beginning of the game, he also formed two teams, the first was the Novice Village dungeon, but they disbanded on a sour note.

This was the second time.

Compared with Lord Paper Tigers and others, Gudazi and his gang were better. It seemed that they had many experiences cooperating. Qian Xiu suspected that behind this team might be a small studio or something.

‘War Song Gudazi’: “Qian Xiu, there are too many people in this area, so there are not many monsters to slay. Our team’s current ranking is above two hundred, what do you think?”
Qian Xiu said directly, “Kill the high-level monsters and break through these low level mobs on the front line. We’ll go around from the woods over there. There should be more high-level monsters on the other side of the canyon.”

‘War Song Gudazi’ said, “Are you sure? In the forest, our attributes weaken. The strength of monsters with forest attributes will increase. It is not easy to pass, and it takes time.”

Qian Xiu: “High risk, high return. If you can keep up, I know how to go.”

This guy was indeed one of the trial players!

‘War Song Gudazi’ immediately agreed, “Alright, let’s go!”
…

“Name?”

“Chen Liqun.”

In the general ward of the hospital, the doctor looked at the rental house landlord. Then, he gazed at the examination report, and said calmly, “Mr. Chen, are you unrelated to this patient?”

The landlord quickly said, “He is just a tenant of mine, how can we be related… Doctor, when will this guy wake up?”

The doctor frowned and said, “His consciousness is fragile. There is no reaction at all. But other than that, all aspects of the body are normal… Although he is a little malnourished, it is not enough to become unconscious.”

The landlord actually didn’t understand, and he just wanted to know an answer, “Then… when will he wake up?”
The doctor said with resignation, “To be honest, I don’t know. He might continue staying in a coma like this. There are many cases of suddenly going into a coma then staying unconscious. This is impossible to be explained clearly.”

The landlord hurriedly said, “Doctor, let me be clear, if he continues to lie here, I have no obligation! Sending him here to do various tests has already cost me a lot!”

The doctor had no choice but to say, “Then Mr. Chen, I suggest you notify the patient’s relatives to take over as soon as possible.”

“Where can I find them?!” The landlord couldn’t help but feel difficult at this moment, “This guy searched for a house on the Internet, and he seldom goes out. I haven’t seen any of his friends before. I only know his name. I have a copy of his identification… Alright, let me find them.”

After that, the landlord felt unlucky and cursed, “Nowadays, young people play games until they become unconscious, is it worth it? I don’t understand!”

But the doctor ignored the landlord’s muttering… More things were waiting for him to do in the hospital.
After seeing the doctor leave, the landlord frowned and suddenly cursed in a low voice at the stubborn, skinny man on the hospital bed, “Why don’t you just die!? You’re a useless living being, and you’re troubling others by lying there!”

…

“Haha! We came out! Qian Xiu, you are outstanding! This is a shortcut!”

After traversing the dark woods, an entrance to the valley appeared in front of them. This temporary team kept killing the mobs as they advanced until they reached the canyon. On the way, they also encountered some other teams, but they rushed in from other places.

But the important thing was that there were significantly fewer people killing monsters. The efficiency of this team was naturally greatly improved. Seeing the team’s ranking rising rapidly, everyone worked harder to kill monsters.
Qian Xiu still couldn’t cooperate reasonably with Gudazi and the others, or he couldn’t integrate into the team. However, this did not hinder his progress.

He always felt that something was missing.

What is missing… It has been a while since I felt like I’m alive and feeling power throughout my body.

There was raging fire all around, and the body temperature increased due to violent activities. He was drenched beneath the armor. His heartbeat violently, and the nerves were tense because of the killings. Everything was madly stimulating his nerves.

I can already get acquainted with this body… So fast!

There was a kind of enthusiasm from the heart that was surging as if he vented all the depressive feelings in his heart. Qian Xiu had forgotten everything, and even had the urge to roar to the sky!
The sword in his hand drew warm blood. Unknowingly, Qian Xiu couldn’t hear the rest of the team’s shouts, and he entered the more advanced monster nest!

Suddenly a scream sounded in front of Qian Xiu. At this time, the sword in his hand just cut off the entire arm of a monster, and another skill was perfectly combined!

With a faint golden light, the sword swept frantically towards the monster’s neck. Qian Xiu’s eyes suddenly widened.

It was as if time had frozen. He saw blood bursting out, and a head flew out in front of him. The flying head even stared at Qian Xiu with widened eyes.

This is… a human?

Human head?

Isn’t it a monster…? No no! No, it’s a monster!

Qian Xiu looked at the human head rolling on the ground, and a cold air invaded his whole body. It was indeed labeled as a monster, a cursed and demonized soldier!
Such demonized soldiers were all nearby.

They had pale skin, like a person who had just died. There were eight in total; all besieged towards Qian Xiu. Their eyeballs were enormous; their mouths were opened wide. They subconsciously wailed.

They… are even more terrifying than those vile demons.

“Do not come…”

Qian Xiu stepped back subconsciously and stepped on the head on the ground. His body shook suddenly.

This is just a monster… not a human!

It’s not human… None of these things here are human!

Qian Xiu firmly squeezed the sword in his hand, only to realize that his palm was already shaking violently since who knows when.

Move… Move!

As if his legs had lost strength again, Qian Xiu couldn’t even move!
Eight demonized warriors raised their swords towards him.
