Chapter 237 They are all your accomplices...

Zheng Xiaoxiao and her friends had encountered a few fish-headed monsters outside before. Fortunately, the monsters were of average strength and were dealt with by them.

Not long after that, they saw some villagers running out, so they chased after them.

Logically speaking, they have now rescued the villagers and the side quest should be over.

only……

Zheng Xiaoxiao scratched her hair. She stared at the dead monster on the ground, then turned to look at Lu Yao, "Is there anyone else in the well?"

Lu Yao shook his head, "Probably not."

She came out with Xingyuan. She had tried to look for it before, but there were no other living creatures down there except some monsters.

Unless those monsters are also counted as villagers, the side quest mentioned by Zheng Xiaoxiao should have been completed.

Shen Chong stood aside and said nothing. The moment he saw Lu Yao, some memories that he didn't want to face came to his mind.

If he had a choice, he would rather be fighting monsters in the well now.

Qing Yunting walked over and greeted Lu Yao, "Xiaoxiao is my team member, thank you for taking care of me before."

"Captain Qing, you're too polite. Zheng Xiaoxiao is very talented in talismans," Lu Yao narrowed her eyes. She had only taught Zheng Xiaoxiao some techniques of drawing talismans before, but she didn't expect that she could apply them flexibly. The talisman she just threw out had a good effect.

"By the way, Lu Yao, didn't you receive the dungeon mission?" Zheng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask after coming back to her senses.
Lu Yao shook her head. She was not a player now, so how could she receive mission information from players?

What's more, she felt that the 'Abyss' might have already begun to plan how to trap her and Xingyuan here together.

"If the mission is to rescue the villagers, we might as well go to their homes now." Suddenly, Lu Yao seemed to have thought of something.

Although the monsters here have been eliminated, those monsters disguised as villagers' relatives are still in the villagers' homes.

If they sense something unusual and start attacking the villagers, Zheng Xiaoxiao and the others' side quest will fail.

After being reminded by Lu Yao, several people immediately left the yard and headed towards the villager's home.

Since four people acted separately, their speed was naturally much faster.

Half an hour later, all the monsters disguised as villagers had been found.

Qing Yunting acted decisively. After dealing with the monsters, he gathered all the remaining villagers in one place in the village to prevent any further accidents.

"Although I know they are just NPCs in this dungeon, I always feel that they are no different from us." Zheng Xiaoxiao rubbed her face. She had just been injured when she went to catch a monster, but fortunately the injury was not serious.

"You can't even tell the difference between a living person and an NPC. If you meet an NPC who wants to harm you, you won't be able to escape." Shen Chong walked over. His face looked a little ugly, and his steps staggered slightly as he moved.

Zheng Xiaoxiao was about to step forward when she saw this, but was stopped by Lu Yao.

"Lu Yao, he's a very foul-mouthed guy." Zheng Xiaoxiao snorted coldly. If possible, she didn't want to go on missions with this guy in the future.

I'm so annoying.

Lu Yao didn't say anything, but his expression changed slightly when he looked at Shen Chong.

She always felt that Shen Chong looked a little unnatural.

The villagers were gathered together and were safe for the time being.

However, Zheng Xiaoxiao still hadn’t received the notification that the side quest was completed.

If they fail to complete the side quest, they won’t be able to leave here and return to the Museum of Eternal Life.

Wasting time here was obviously not a solution, so Qing Yunting signaled Zheng Xiaoxiao and the other two to stay here, and he planned to go out alone to check the situation.

He thought there might be other villagers in the village who had not been discovered, so he planned to look for them again.

Zheng Xiaoxiao originally wanted to go with them, but Qing Yunting signaled her to stay.

Qing Yunting: "After all, there are many people here, you can help if you stay." Zheng Xiaoxiao: "Okay, Captain, you have to be careful."

Lu Yao found the Taoist priest among the crowd. He was sitting on the ground and looked calmer than the others.

Seeing Lu Yao approaching, the Taoist priest immediately stood up and waved at Lu Yao.

"Master, those are your accomplices...Aren't you going to help?"

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows, "Where else in this village might there be people?"

"No. You have almost searched the whole village. How could someone be hiding somewhere else? But then again, Master, what are you looking for?"

The Taoist priest knew that the monsters had been dealt with and they were safe for the time being, but he didn't understand why everyone had to be gathered here.

Lu Yao: "Maybe it's to get together so it's easier to do it."

"Take action? What kind of action?" the Taoist asked in a surprised tone.

Lu Yao suddenly turned around, with a long sword in his hand, "Of course I'm going to kill him."

The Taoist priest was frightened by Lu Yao and took two steps back, "Master, you are not going to attack me..."

Before the Taoist priest could finish his sentence, he heard a sudden scream behind him.

When he turned around, he saw the crowd behind him was in chaos.

Zheng Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Chong who suddenly attacked the villagers and stood there in a daze for a moment.

The next second, a figure suddenly approached across the crowd.

Lu Yao pushed Zheng Xiaoxiao away and moved forward with the sword in his hand straight towards Shen Chong.

In the crowd, Shen Chong suddenly picked up his weapon and pointed it at the villagers. His face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was like a suddenly mutated monster, his whole body exuding a weird and gloomy aura.

The sword pierced his abdomen, but no blood flowed out. From Lu Yao's perspective, the sword blade was like piercing a piece of soil or a jellyfish.

The shouting around continued, and the Taoist reacted faster than Lu Yao expected. He looked at the crowd and rushed over quickly to try to stabilize them.

It would be even more unsafe to run around at this time.

Zheng Xiaoxiao came to her senses and followed him. She was now standing beside Lu Yao, and subconsciously clenched her hands while looking at Shen Chong.

"Everything was fine just now, how come it suddenly became like this?" Zheng Xiaoxiao frowned. Even though she disliked Shen Chong, he was still her teammate after all.

She couldn't just sit there and watch her teammates turn into monsters.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiaoxiao was about to step forward.

No matter what, she has to control Shen Chong first.

We can't let him continue like this.

Lu Yao did not stop Zheng Xiaoxiao this time. As she said, Shen Chong was her teammate and she had the right to choose what to do.

Lu Yao glanced at the sword in her hand. Was it that the weapon was unable to cause any harm to him, or was it that the sword she had just struck had not landed in the right spot?

Lu Yao had already noticed something strange about Shen Chong before, but she had only guessed it at the time until she smelled the familiar salty and humid smell around him just now.

She judged that there were monsters from the well mixed in with the crowd.

The monster had been hiding in the crowd, just waiting to gather everyone together before taking action, so that it could be caught in one fell swoop.

And it was at that moment that Lu Yao determined that the monster was Shen Chong.

When Qing Yunting left, Lu Yao clearly noticed the change in Shen Chong's eyes.
