Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

On the other side, Li Jian shouted with all his might until his throat was itchy before he stopped.

He took out a bottle of water from his storage space, took a few sips to moisten his throat, and then approached Fan Xiao and the other two.

However, just as he took a step, something unexpected happened.

In the town shrouded in night, some cool-toned lights appeared.

Upon closer inspection, they were clusters of pale blue flames.

They float in the air, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, sometimes near and sometimes far, which is very strange.

Ghost fire!

It's the will-o'-the-wisp mentioned in the dungeon's background description that appears at night.

Fan, Xiao, and the other two immediately realized what was happening.

“Let’s go back first!” Fan Xiao said. “The game hints mentioned that in addition to will-o’-the-wisps, there are also mummified old women wandering around at night, and the latter could be a threat.”

Lu Xining and Du Ruo both nodded.

The three quickly dispersed in three different directions.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing this, Li Jian also started running frantically, chasing after Fan Xiao.

After running a hundred or two meters, screams of agony from the players suddenly came from all around.

There were also faint, unsettling laughs, like the scraping of metal.

The laughter appeared on the left, then on the right, then in front and behind... making one feel as if they were surrounded by a group of ghosts and monsters.

Li Jian dared not delay any longer and used his item to speed up, slowly catching up with Fan Xiao ahead.

Of course, this is because Fan Xiao did not drive at full speed.

As Fan Xiao ran, he quickly turned his gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.

With the night vision ability granted by the "vampires," the surrounding scenery was as clear as daytime.

Unsettling laughter kept coming from all directions. Fan Xiao kept adjusting his vision, trying to figure out what kind of monster was making the noise.

However, the town was not a completely open space; trees, houses, and other obstacles blocked his view, slowing down his search.

He waited until he reached his "home" doorstep, but he still didn't see the laughing monster.

"call……"

Li Jian arrived right after Fan Xiao. Looking at his home, which was so close at hand, he relaxed a little and took a few breaths.

Then he turned to Fan Xiao and said, "That laughter just now... it couldn't have been 'Grandma Mummified Corpse,' could it?"

"Judging from the voice, it does sound more like a woman's."

Fan Xiao nodded and analyzed, "The laughter comes from all directions from time to time. Either there are many mummified old women, or they are moving very fast."

"I heard a lot of players screaming in pain. This monster is too powerful!"

Li Jian felt a bit scared afterward.

He subconsciously looked around and observed the surrounding environment by the light shining through the windows of the brick house.

Fortunately, nothing unusual was found.

The monster didn't follow...

"Are you looking for me?"

suddenly!

A hoarse, shrill voice rang directly in Li Jian's ears.

The chilling aura seemed to freeze the left side of Li Jian's cheek, making his scalp tingle. He instinctively screamed and threw a powerful punch.

But the fist struck thin air and didn't touch anything.

He stiffly turned his head and saw a face as dry as tree bark.

It was an old woman, dressed in worn clothes, wearing a headscarf, with a strange smile on her wrinkled face.

Li Jian stood frozen in place.

The old woman suddenly opened her mouth, her lips splitting open all the way to her ears, and bit down on Li Jian's neck.

Bang! Li Jian was propelled by the sudden repulsive force to the front door of the brick house.

Fan Xiao helped himself—he realized what was happening and scrambled into the gate.

The old woman with the mummified body didn't chase after him; instead, she set her sights on Fan Xiao.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

Fan Xiao frowned and immediately activated the "Dustless Shield" to its maximum, using the repulsive barrier to completely envelop himself.

He did not immediately flee into the house.

He wanted to test the monster's strength.

The eerie laughter rang out again.

Suddenly, Fan Xiao's vision went dark.

The mummified old woman ignored the repulsive force barrier and appeared in front of him.

Snap—the other person grabbed his arm, and sharp nails immediately pierced his skin, tearing away some flesh.

Fan Xiao's face darkened.

With a whoosh, he used his "vampire" powers to manipulate the blood flowing from his wounds, which condensed into a sharp blade and slashed at the mummified old woman in front of him.

But the blade pierced straight through the opponent's body.

The next second, the emotion magic was activated.

The blood-red blade flew back, turning into flames that enveloped the mummified old woman.

At the same time, Fan Xiao generated a repulsive force under his feet, which propelled him into the air.

Looking down, the figure of the mummified old woman had vanished again.

A strange laugh came from behind Fan Xiao.

He quickly manipulated the repulsive force to launch himself away, changing direction several times before successfully landing at the front door, and then stepped into the house.

A tearing pain shot through my back, as if more flesh had been ripped away.

They were still a step too late in escaping.

Fan Xiao looked outside, but the figure of the mummified old woman had already disappeared.

The monster doesn't seem to be chasing us into the house.

Chapter 117 Grand Duke Rabbit VS. The Mummy Granny

After Fan Xiao and Li Jian entered the living room, the door to the room next to the living room was opened.

"Mother" came out, and upon seeing Fan and Xiao, frowned and said, "All you ever do is run around outside! All you do is play! If you come back this late again, see how I deal with you!"

“Xiaohua dragged me out to play,” Fan Xiao said. “I didn’t want to go out.”

Li Jian: "..."

"Xiaohua! What kind of older sister are you?" The woman walked over and grabbed Li Jian's ear, tugging at it. "Running around all the time, running around all the time, do you not want your legs anymore?"

"Oh dear, I won't do it again next time, I'll never do it again."

Li Jian quickly pretended to cooperate and said.

"Humph……"

The woman snorted coldly, released Li Jian's ear, and asked, "Where did Binbin go?"

“He’s asleep,” Fan Xiao pointed to the side room. “We’ve put him to sleep. Children need plenty of sleep, so it’s best not to disturb him.”

"Xiao Cui is so sensible," the woman praised. "Binbin, you need to take better care of her and keep a close eye on your sister, understand?"

"Oh," Fan Xiao replied.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should all go to sleep."

After giving her a word of advice, the woman went back to her room and closed the door.

Only Fan Xiao and Li Jian remained in the living room.

"Brother Fan, thank you for earlier."

Li Jian approached Fan Xiao and thanked him profusely.

If Fan Xiao hadn't intervened, and the old woman with the dried corpse had bitten him with her gaping maw, he probably would have lost half his life.

"I still have a bottle of healing potion, you should hurry up and heal your injuries."

Li Jian took out a bottle of Grade D healing potion from his storage space and handed it to Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao took it without any suspicion and drank it directly.

The tearing pain gradually subsided.

The blood from the wound did not flow out due to the intervention of the "vampires," but was instead contained within the body, thus saving the effort of stopping the bleeding.

Fan Xiao took out another bottle of Grade E healing potion from his storage space and drank it.

Then he looked down at the bloody gash on his arm, took out a mirror, and asked Li Jian to hold it for him so he could observe the injuries on his back.

Fortunately, no bones were broken, just skin and flesh injuries.

With the help of the medication and a night's rest, I should be almost fully recovered by tomorrow.

After putting away the mirror, Fan Xiao endured the waves of pain from his wounds and said, "The old woman with the dried corpse is like the big-faced monster; she doesn't have a physical form, so ordinary attacks probably won't be able to harm her."

"Fortunately, this monster only appears at night and doesn't chase you into the house."

Li Jian said with considerable relief.

If the opponent's activity area and time are completely unrestricted, the players who entered the instance this time will probably be wiped out on the first day.

After all, who can stop that kind of monster!

"The 'mummy old woman' is probably a rumor made up by adults to scare children into going home early at night."

Fan Xiao said, "For example, if you run around outside at night, you might get caught and eaten by the mummified old woman. So, it's not surprising that our home is our refuge."

"I think the people in this town are just bored out of their minds!" Li Jian complained. "Why would they make up such a terrifying monster for no reason!"

“No,” Fan Xiao shook his head and said, “It’s not really that scary.”

"Uh...are you sure?"

Li Jian stared at Fan Xiao's injuries, his face saying, "Your words are not convincing at all."

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "You don't believe me? Let's try it again and we'll see."

"Wait!" Li Jian hurriedly advised, "We're finally safe, why go and provoke this monster again?"

"Understanding the characteristics of the monsters will help us clear the level," Fan Xiao said. "You stand here and keep watch for me."

"Me... to hold the fort?"

Li Jian looked a little confused.

Does the other party think so highly of him?

"You can at least shout '666,' right?" Fan Xiao replied casually. "If you can't shout it, just use it as a danger alarm. Shout it to notify me as soon as the mummy old woman appears."

After saying that, he walked towards the main gate and went through the gate without hesitation to the outdoor steps.

Knowing that the mummy old woman couldn't kill him instantly, Fan Xiao acted with less hesitation.

Since physical attacks are ineffective, why not try mental interference?

Surely we can't really be invincible?

Fan Xiao tensed up, walked down the steps, and began to observe his surroundings.

The light shining through the window dispelled some of the darkness of the night.
