Free Web NovelChapter 695: Chapter 246 "Loss of Sword"_2
As for communication between the two parties, Phantom Zombie took on the role of walkie-talkie.
Ree Shil asked them to break one of Phantom Zombie’s fingers when they wanted to speak directly with him.
After sensing the injury to Phantom Zombie, he would immediately transfer his consciousness there.
He felt that the ten fingers of the Phantom Zombie should be enough for tonight’s communication frequency.
Phantom Zombie could not only carry his will but also accept missions directly, making it quite convenient.
However, after a whole night, Ree Shil was quite frustrated.
He didn’t see any mission NPCs himself.
Instead, he devoured two teamed-up players.
Greenfeather and his team had an even worse harvest; they saw none, ate none, and even lost 70 or 80 Zombie Beast Juniors.
Since the command authority was ultimately transferred, Greenfeather’s orders would always be somewhat delayed.
This led to difficulties in commanding during battles.
Since the four of them were almost certain to advance, they naturally wouldn’t take the risk of fighting the players themselves, including Greenfeather.
So, it wasn’t that they didn’t encounter any players, but that they couldn’t capture them.
In the latter half of the night, all players became more alert and extremely cautious in their actions.
In the two hours before dawn, not a single person was eliminated.
During the daytime, most players found hiding places.
Even if some of them were double or triple devourers, they didn’t have the courage to face the treasure hunter NPCs directly.
Ree Shil, on the other hand, strolled through the streets with a group of little brothers by his side.
"I always wanted to avoid those NPCs, but when I actually started looking for them, none were to be found."
Looking at the empty streets except for his little brothers, he couldn’t help but complain.
Since this was an Instance, he believed those NPCs would most likely have a purpose.
He didn’t think their purpose was to hunt down players throughout the ancient city, making it harder for them.
Instead, if they defeated those NPCs, would they be added to the card pool?
This matter couldn’t be determined without trying.
"Hm?"
Just then, Ree Shil’s eyebrows suddenly raised.
Because he sensed that Greenfeather’s team had broken another one of Phantom Zombie’s fingers. free𝑤ebnovel.com
It was worth mentioning that last night they had only broken one finger, and now this was the second time.
He immediately found the nearest well, jumped into it, and had the zombie army protect him inside and out.
Ree Shil closed his eyes and transferred his consciousness.
"What’s going on here?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Greenfeather and the others were huddled in a corner.
"You’re here, check this out."
Today, upon hearing Ree Shil speak, they stepped aside.
It turned out they were surrounding a guy sitting on the ground, eating heartily.
This guy was completely naked, with a skin color that was very unique, almost matching the surrounding environment.
He had three eyes and was dressed in rags.
From the looks of his half-gone facial skin and exposed bones, there was no doubt he was a Zombie Beast.
However, there was no code on his head, so he was an NPC Zombie Beast.
What was crucial was what he was eating - a Ginseng Zombie.
In his hands, the Ginseng Zombie really looked like ginseng.
He ate it bit by bit, making his belly bulge.
However, the bulge would only last for a few seconds before it shrank back to its original, wrinkled state.
[More food, do you have any?]
After finishing the Ginseng Zombie, the NPC turned his attention to the players.
"We have plenty for you to eat, take your time," Greenfeather quickly commanded another Ginseng Zombie to be sent over.
"This NPC is very well-hidden and slippery."
"We lost him once before, and it took us 30 minutes to find him again."
"We need to keep feeding him continuously, or he’ll run away."
Later, she introduced the situation to Ree Shil.
"So what’s the task he assigned?"
Ree Shil showed a look of interest.
"You can ask him yourself, and you’ll know."
Greenfeather pointed.
"Alright."
Ree Shil walked right in front of the other party and asked, "What can I help you with?"
[Help me, huh?]
This question seemed to trigger the NPC’s mechanism, and it looked at Ree Shil.
[Trigger Three-eyed Zombie Beast’s mission]
[Upon completion of the mission, increase card draw chance by 1]
[And add the Three-eyed Zombie Beast to the card pool] freёweɓnovel.com
Instance Tips followed.
[Demonic Exterminators, very annoying]
[Always, chasing me]
[Kill them, can you?]
[Huh]
The language system of the Three-eyed Zombie Beast seemed a bit incomplete, but Ree Shil still understood the other party’s meaning.
[Accept/Decline Three-eyed Zombie Beast’s mission]
[Mission: Protect the Three-eyed Zombie Beast, kill an approaching treasure hunting Demonic Exterminator]
"How unlucky."
Upon seeing this, Ree Shil was immediately delighted.
It coincided perfectly with his plan.
And the Demonic Exterminator was actively coming to him.
"I’ll accept this mission, but not right now."
He then looked at Greenfeather and the others.
"After all, we don’t know how strong or weak the Demonic Exterminator appearing later will be. It’s better to be well-prepared."
"I need my original body to lead the army here. You guys help me stall him."
"Will the Zombie Beast Juniors be enough? If not, I’ll call all nearby Zombie Beasts to come."
He said it like that.
Greenfeather and the others also thought it was more prudent, so they agreed.
As for the food to keep the Three-eyed Zombie Beast satisfied, they had plenty, no need for a refill.
