As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 594 Demon Cave
The words are divided into two parts.

In Baicheng where the "Twelve Evils of Tianlou" still exist.

The area around the huge disc of the imperial court was littered with charred dead bodies.

Between the broken Panlong stone pillars, a withered hand was abruptly inserted into the cracks of the cracked white marble, with its knuckles still tightly gripping a half-broken rusty knife.

"It's really tight."

The court's local cleaner pulled the dead man's hand out of the gap.

"This is the three hundred and sixty-sixth one."

"Hey, we've finished recording the dead here, what about yours?"

"There are a bunch more on the upper floor, let's go together!"

As he was speaking, the dome above was suddenly shattered.

Boom!
The intruding human-faced corpse-eating vulture's feathers exploded, and its sharp claws tore open half of the young corpse's chest.

As soon as the dark purple organs rolled out, the natives squatting nearby turned into demons and rushed over to snatch the corpses. The demons made gurgling sounds in their throats, similar to water boiling in a copper kettle. When their fangs tore at pieces of flesh, broken bones splashed onto the cleaners' straw sandals covered with black scabs.

Just experienced a massacre.

The death toll of the resistance army exceeded 350, and the number of players who died in the "Empty Corridor" was about 19.

An Mi sat on the ruins, biting a piece of toast and looking at the death toll in the account book.

"Didn't you find it? The man who can use Thunder God's magic."

A girl next to him said, "Brump, no, he exploded before he died and turned into powder."

The girl's name is "Fengxian", one of the Twelve Evils of Tianlou, and she has been trying to stop Brupu's player.

"Fengxian, guess why Bulupu didn't leave the body behind?" An Mi asked.

"Afraid that Alifa, the psychopath, would turn him into a puppet?" Feng Xian guessed, "Or maybe he didn't want to become one of the performers in Sister Xiaoqing's shadow play. They are both considered 'necromancers', and the group of 'Kong' guys value dignity. So suicide is normal, right?"

Anmi was silent for a moment.

A boy standing under the ruins cast a pitiful look at Fengxian.

"Really?" An Mi suddenly asked, "Did Brupu really die so easily?"

Before Fengxian could answer, Anmi changed the subject: "You and Bulupu were evenly matched, but you had hundreds of demons around you and a constant supply of soldiers as support, so you actually lost."

The boy below raised his hands and shouted with a smile: "Thanks to me! The 'Dragon Descendant' machine gun I made destroyed them!"

Feng Xian: "Indeed, I lost... Well, then Your Majesty, how are you going to punish me?"

An Mi was eating toast, looking at her playful smile, and pointed at her.

【Imperial Edict】

Fengxian: "Hello?"

【Death Order】

[Sin: Carelessness]

Then, Feng Xian knelt down with her eyes open, already dead.

"Brump committed suicide at the exact time of his death, and turned into dust. I guess he wanted to pass on key information, so he didn't want us to take his body and extract his memory fragments."

An Mi walked over and sucked the magic factor from Fengxian's body.

"So I guess he should have made some preparations, for example, using hypnosis to cause chaos within our ranks."

He let go of the magic factor in his hand and felt something strange.

This is the remaining trace of magic from the [Charmer]. Fengxian will suddenly attack when approaching Anmi.

There is a [Charmer] in Brum's team, but he didn't come to this world.

Anmi speculated that Brup had at least two reinforcements, one was the main family of the "Sky Corridor", and the other was the guys who were dealt with by Alifa.

The boy with the mechanical ejector jumped up and sucked Fengxian's body into the vacuum cleaner: "This is the result of not listening to advice. Sister Xiaoqing said at the time that this woman is too stupid."

Anya: "So this time I will listen to you and not invite Amuro to join."

The boy stroked the vacuum cleaner that was chewing the corpse and said with a smile, "Why are you still worried?"

Anmi was silent for a moment.

"We have to take some precautions."

……

After Li Nuo and Maljie came out of the time and space tunnel, they landed directly in the demon's cave.

The identities obtained by the two are:

[A patrolman hired by a "suicide squad warrior"]

"I guess that death squad warrior might be Thin Brother."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows.

After all, [identity certificates] are very expensive and can be considered a cheating device. It is impossible to leave them alone without giving any benefits.

"Now is not the time to think about this."

Malger took out the Swamp Power lighter.

The firelight illuminated the surrounding area.

"It stinks, don't you have a normal lighter?"

"I can't see at night like you can."

Li Nuo does not need to borrow light, but Maljie does. His eyes can only see thermal images, which are not much different from human eyes in special dark environments. In addition, turning on the corneal flash consumes electricity. In order to save energy, it is better to use a lighter for lighting.

In the light of the fire, in the shadows of the inverted stalactites in the cave, countless scarlet eyeballs rose and fell like tides, and the dripping sound of saliva falling to the ground and the crackling sound of bones rubbing against each other formed a web.

[Side quest has been triggered: Snake Demon]

[Task Difficulty: lv50]

[Mission Reward: 5000 Experience Points, Qualification to Join the Warrior Team or Become a Serpent Demon's Subordinate]

[Choose to join the warrior team and become a member of the crusade team]

[Choose to become a subordinate of the snake demon and obtain a copy of the "Advanced Alchemy Manual"]

[Mission details: It is best to kill the snake demon before the warrior team comes in, or join forces with the snake demon to deal with the warriors' death squad]

"I've been underestimated by the system. I just want them all."

Li Nuo stood up with the help of a cane.

He glanced at the player panel and could see Cha Bai's point map.

[Main Quest Update: Free Activities]

[Task details: As title]

Li Nuo took out a voice-transmitting elf, and when the elf said "no" he said, "We are here."

But the elves couldn't open the space portal.

"What's going on?" Marger asked.

"There is something in this area that is blocking space spells." Li Nuo took a breath and said, "It has nothing to do with this cave. It is most likely the area where Cha Bai is."

You can see the map through the player panel, and Cha Bai is in a nearby city-state.

"Forget it, let's talk about it outside."

Li Nuo put away the elf.

Silver Eyes looked at the gnawed remains on the ground.

"Lock on Brother Shou's location. Let's deal with this matter here before he comes over."

At this moment, the smell of rotten blood seeped from the depths of the cave, and broken bones and mucus accumulated in the folds of the rock walls.

Maljie's pupils moved rapidly back and forth.

"Thermal imaging shows that there are at least two hundred demons. It's a demon cave."

Countless demons wriggled in the shadows, and the sound of their claws scraping against rock was like the dragging of thousands of dull knives on grindstones.

Suddenly a demon rushed over, and just as its claws pierced three inches in front of Li Nuo's throat, the demon and his entire head exploded into a bloody mist.

Maljer put away the smoking hand cannon.

"Hmph, here it comes."

Li Nuo picked up the scarf and wiped the blood off his face.

"Old Ma, play a game."

"explain."

“Let’s see who reaches the deepest point first.”

Both of them smiled like predators.

The cave suddenly fell into silence.

Two breaths later, the demon's screams broke out like thunder.

……

"hell?"

The older warrior looked at Chen Shou, his eyes seemed to be looking at an idiot.

“We are in hell every day.”

No one paid attention to Chen Shou's warning.

Thin Brother had no choice but to follow. He kept adjusting the headset, but there was only a rustling sound and the signal was not connected yet.

"Fatty, what's your number?"

The person in front turned around and asked him.

"Just call me Fatty."

"We are all remnants, why are you the only one with nothing missing?"

These warriors who hunt demons belong to the country's assassination organization. These orphans were trained to be experts in hunting demons. They were missing some parts when they were picked up.

Hands, feet, eyes, even genitals.

The demon is the culprit.

Hometown, family, body, everything that has been lost must be regained from the demons, and this fight continues until death. This is the demon hunting force composed of remnants of soldiers, the warrior suicide squad.

"The kidney is gone."

Chen Shou made it up.

"Internal organs... That's terrible."

"He was transferred from another team." The leading warrior said, "Don't ask about it. He might die soon anyway. It's better to save your energy than to talk so much."

[Identity Certificate] As an "epic" level item, it will modify the brain thinking of some NPCs (natives).

Excluding the bonus of props, the remaining soldiers will not suspect their compatriots.

Each of them has been implanted with controllable demon cells, and their combat power and sense of smell are more sensitive than those of ordinary people.

Because demons can disguise themselves as humans, it is important to distinguish the demons' five senses.

Chen Shou has no racial bonus, he is still a human being, but he has magic power or something called aura on his body, so even if it is inconsistent, people will not suspect that his true identity is not a remnant soldier.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived near our destination.

"This is a demon cave."

A remnant warrior lit a cigarette that could dispel the human smell.

"There are at least 300 demons in there. Three nearby villages are already destroyed. If this continues, it will threaten the main city."

So if they didn't threaten the main city, no one would care about these monsters.

"Before...didn't these demons make any moves?"

Chen Shou raised the question. On the way here, he had become familiar with a few talkative guys.

The smoking warrior curled his lips.

"No, I just became agitated recently." "What a strange phenomenon."

"Yes, but we are only responsible for hunting demons, and leave the brainwork to the princes and ministers."

The leader turned around.

"be prepared."

His name was "Tiger". The remnant soldier's name only had one character, and usually people would give themselves this character and use it until they died.

Only the smoking warrior whispered to Chen Shou: "Our boss... the big boss who killed thousands of demons, don't look at him like this, he was obsessed with the little cleaner in the warehouse in the city..."

boom--!
There was a sudden loud noise in the cave and the conversation ended.

The team leader "Tiger" walked to the entrance of the cave and was stunned.

"..."

He made a gesture, meaning: the situation has changed.

There are about 300 monsters in the devil's cave. In the deepest part there is a snake monster that can transform into a giant snake. The plan of the remaining warriors is to blow up the cave, force out most of the monsters, and then divide into teams to hunt down the snake monster.

There's no need for that now.

"Go in, there doesn't seem to be any signs of life."

The blood mist condensed into a sticky entity in the cave corridor, and the friction sound of seventeen steel knives being unsheathed at the same time hit the rock wall.

The leader warrior's boot tip crushed a clawed finger, making a crisp sound in the blood mud.

They had seen the slaughterhouses where demons gnawed at humans, but they had never witnessed the demons themselves becoming a feast of corpses.

These monsters died tragically.

Some of them were seen trying to escape, but were dragged back by force. There were still claw marks on the ground from where they had dug into the ground when they were pulled back.

"Who on earth did this..."

The warrior at the end of the team was lighting a fire stick, sweeping across the terrifying cave, his throat rolling.

A young warrior used the tip of his knife to lift up half of the mandible, which was still attached to a melting scarlet tongue.

“It’s a massacre.”

"Captain, this isn't something a human could do, is it?"

"Maybe something more powerful has broken in."

The leader said so.

Even if something more terrifying comes in, no one will retreat. Their lives exist to hunt down demons.

The country has recently issued a new directive that no reinforcements can be called in during demon hunting missions.

It's weird though.

But as remnants of the army and the death squad, they abide by the rules unconditionally.

Chen Shou stood at the end of the team. He noticed that the wounds on each body were glowing a strange blue. The blue magic factor and flames were the signals left by Li Nuo.

He immediately touched the headset in his ear, trying to adjust the signal as quickly as possible.

"Hey, you said this is hell, how do you know?"

The deputy captain held Chen Shou's shoulders, his face covered with scars looked horrible and wrinkled in the firelight.

At this moment, Chen Shou's headset rang: "Brother Shou, don't talk, just do as I say."

Li Nuo's voice was intermittent.

Chen Shou's throat rolled, and he said word for word according to Li Nuo's words:

"I hired two outsiders in advance and gave them money to be patrol soldiers. They told me about this incident not long ago. They should be deep in the cave now, or dead."

The deputy captain's hands were so strong that his nails almost dug into Chen Shou's flesh.

"You didn't say that just now."

"You didn't let me say it."

The deputy captain was speechless.

"Captain, let him stay outside."

The old warrior who led the team glanced at Chen Shou.

"casual."

at this time.

"Live!"

A short voice came from the head of the team.

When everyone turned their blades, they saw a demon with only the upper body left, using its broken claws to pull intestines into its abdominal cavity, its cloudy yellow pupils reflecting seventeen pale faces.

The appearance of the demon is not much different from that of a human. At first glance, it looks like a person stuffing intestines into his own stomach.

The leader went over and stepped on the demon's belly.

"what happened?"

Demons can communicate with humans.

It's okay to treat them as larger goblins, they just won't drop gold coins.

"Silver Eyes... it stinks... inside..."

This demon has gone mad.

"Any more?"

"Run."

The seventeen remnant soldiers had been through hundreds of battles and had killed countless demons. This was the first time they heard a demon giving them kind advice.

"Any more?"

"I'm hungry."

The leader drew his sword and cut off the demon's head.

The silence at this moment is like an icy abyss.

They should be scared, but all Chen Shou saw on their faces was excitement.

The pupils of the remnant soldiers are also silver eyes, and the pupils of the monsters are also silver eyes. When you don’t know what the other party is, treating it as a monster is the first choice.

Demon hunters live their lives just to exorcise demons.

Seventeen people, holding the hilts of their knives, walked deep into the devil's cave. Only Chen Shou stopped outside as Li Nuo did not let him in.

"Now tell me what intelligence you have."

He explained the information he knew in the most concise words.

Li Nuo has an idea, and there are several key points worth noting.

First, demons have recently been attacking villages on a large scale and are heading straight for national cities.

Second, at this special moment, the remnant soldiers, as the most powerful force, only sent out a dozen people to carry out the suicide mission.

So, there is something fishy going on in the royal palace within the city-state.

Chabai's location is in the palace.

Combined with all of the above, there are some problems in this country, and these problems may very well be the direction in which the historical anchor needs to be revised.

There is no need to kill all the remaining soldiers, you can use these guys' identities to enter the palace.

Li Nuo thought so and said while touching the headset:
"Brother Shou, let me confirm again, your identity will not be suspected by them?"

"Well, at least that's what the system prompts say."

“Thin brother, I let you in, come in again.”

"What do you and Brother Ma want to do?"

"You are here to play the pig and eat the tiger."

Chen Shou was stunned.

Suddenly, there was a sound of explosion from deep inside the cave. It was an ice explosion. It did not destroy the foundation of the cave, but it dispersed the troops that had entered deep inside.

……

The leader led a few people into the area behind the explosion.

There are no corpses of demons here, but the chilling feeling is stronger than before.

In the darkness ahead, a pair of silver eyes flashed.

There was a click.

There was the sound of a cane hitting the ground.

The leader drew his blade and prepared for battle.

……

"It's over. We've fallen into a trap."

The remaining thirteen members of the remnant suicide squad stood in front of a large rock. The explosion just now was just right, deliberately separating their team.

"The leader is as capable as seven of us. They deliberately kept the best among us so that we can be well prepared."

The warrior holding a toothpick in his mouth analyzed.

what--!
At this moment, a sharp roar came from deep in the fork road.

"Thirty years ago, the leader of the team killed an awakened 'Dragon Descendant' monster. He is an expert among experts. We don't need to worry about him."

The deputy captain led the way, and after taking a few steps, he entered the deepest part of the cave through a gap on the side.

Dozens of people were stunned immediately.

Their target, the snake demon, was nailed to the ground and torn into several pieces.

The gorilla driver was sitting on the snake demon and pulled out a sign from his butt that read, "I'm going to eat you."

"Is this... a new type of demon?"

"That's not right...Isn't this just an orangutan?"

The gorilla driver's eyes were filled with helplessness under his sunglasses. The snake demon was torn apart by Li Nuo and Maljie. It just came here to be forced to play a role-playing game...

"It may be a new weapon of the 'Descendant of the Dragon'. Don't let your guard down. Didn't you see that the snake monster is dead?"

The descendants of dragons are creatures that invade humans in the world of "Broadsword". They are very mysterious creatures with flesh and blood genes that can quickly recover from injuries, even fatal injuries can be repaired quickly.

When the gorilla driver was shot in the head by a warrior with a crossbow and pixelated.

This group of warriors were all stunned.

Enter combat mode immediately.

"The flesh and blood can be repaired. It is the weapon of the 'Descendant of the Dragon'!"

The gorilla driver was speechless: I am a tough gorilla, not a shitty dragon.

Steel knives, spears, crossbows, all weapons made sounds, and the death squad of the remaining warriors were ready to fight to the death facing the "demon" that was so close.

"Hold this guy until the leader arrives!"

The deputy captain yelled.

The battle is about to break out.

Boom!
The stone wall next to it was blown open.

Several figures appeared along with the hole and flew out from behind the smoke and dust. They were the remnants of the soldiers who were isolated along with their leader and were now unconscious.

The priest in black walked out of the broken wall, blood dripping from his staff. With his other hand, he dragged the leader of the remnants, whose face was covered in blood. He threw the hero, who was already in a deep coma and was regarded as a spiritual leader by everyone, to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the remaining soldiers were all stunned.

The demon's words of warning echoed in their ears again.

"run!"
