Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

Lin Chen and Elena were standing at the door of the stone house. Behind them, various players were avoiding traps while fighting each other frantically, with various skills and firelight echoing each other.

"Mr. Lin, should we go in and take a look?" Against this background, Elena asked Lin Chen with a serious expression.

Lin Chen nodded. "I don't know why I could smell the scent of ruins in the guild dungeon, but I have a feeling this kind of stone house is specially prepared for us second-round players. If that's the case, we have to go in."

Then, Lin Chen stretched out his hand and pushed open the stone door. During the process, he was fully prepared. If some mechanism was triggered... or if someone rushed out of the stone house with bared fangs and claws, he could react instantly and respond.

But the stone door was easily pushed open by Lin Chen without any obstruction.

The scene in the stone house was revealed without reservation.

As black mist and a subtle cold current came out from the house, Lin Chen's eyelids twitched.

He and Elena took a step back at the same time. After reaching out their hands to disperse the smoke that only appeared with the ruins, they looked inside...

Immediately overjoyed!

Because inside the stone house, the ground and walls are densely covered with all kinds of dazzling pharmaceutical materials!

Bone Jade Flower, Blood Ganoderma, Body Tempering Fruit, Fierce Poison Hemp, Creek Spirit Grass...

Pharmaceutical materials that Lin Chen could name and those that he couldn’t name were everywhere, and they were of good quality.

The so-called [pharmaceutical materials] are the necessary materials for making pills, potions and some enhancement consumables. For example, the pills just obtained in the cave in the passage are basically made of these materials.

The high-quality materials now before us are enough to make more and better-quality consumables at specific NPCs.

Not only these pharmaceutical materials, as they moved their eyes, they could also see a large number of black stones or iron ingots in other places.

When he saw these things, Lin Chen immediately lost his composure.

[The essence of divine weapons]!

Those special stones that glow and flash are the materials specially used to strengthen the [artifact]!

If Xiaoyun gets this thing, he can strengthen Hongguang.

"It's weird..."

Lin Chen frowned, the smell of [Xu] still lingering in his nose, but there was nothing else in the room except these props and materials. Not to mention [Xu], there was not even a shadow of a mechanism or trap.

Lin Chen took a step inside with a slight caution.

Still nothing happened.

Since this is the case, Lin Chen will naturally not leave these things alone.

"It seems that this trip was not in vain." Lin Chen immediately stepped into the door.

Elena also entered.

As second-round players, Lin Chen and Elena both recognized the value of these things and immediately felt relieved. They tacitly put these materials into their backpacks, but because they had just obtained too many props outside, they had to discard the extra equipment and props that they didn't need.

But just as they were picking up props and materials very carefully, a heavy sound suddenly came from behind them.

"boom."

Lin Chen and Elena turned around at the same time.

I suddenly discovered that the stone door behind me was closed.

The entire stone house suddenly became quiet, as if the sound insulation inside was very excellent. Lin Chen could not even hear the sound of fighting outside.

In the entire room, apart from Lin Chen's own heartbeat, the only sound lingering in his ears was Elena's breathing beside him.

This scene made Lin Chen even more curious.

"Catching a turtle in a jar?"

He really didn't expect that this entire stone house was actually part of a mechanism?

Use precious materials and props as an introduction to attract players to enter and then close the door.

But if that's the case, why didn't the other stone houses have this problem? And...what's with that smell of [Ruins] coming out of this house?

Lin Chen walked to the door and pushed it, but the door didn't move.

Lin Chen frowned, raised the rainbow light and slashed fiercely at the surface of the door.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal colliding was heard, and the reaction force of Lin Chen's sword even caused Lin Chen's palm to hurt. He looked down at his palm and saw a drop of blood flowing out of the wound.

The stone gate in front was standing still, but there was only a wave of violent ripples on its surface, which returned to calm after a few seconds.

Lin Chen was suddenly shocked!

"wrong……!"

He suddenly remembered that in the Land of the Hunting God, it was impossible for him to feel pain in this way with full health, and he was not under the [Cursed State], so it was even more impossible for him to feel pain.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen even released a [Purification] on himself, but even so, the slight pain in his palm still made Lin Chen frown.

Could it be that the room they are in is not on the hunting god's land?

"Mr. Lin..." There was a hint of fear on Elena's beautiful face at this moment. She pointed at Lin Chen, or to be more precise, at the back of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen could feel the wind blowing through the hair behind his ears, and couldn't help but look back.

A person with long hair like a waterfall stood behind Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was startled. He had never imagined that there was someone standing behind him! What gave him the most goosebumps was that he had never even noticed it.

The rainbow light in his hand was raised almost subconsciously, pointing directly at this very strange-looking man.

He should be a man.

He had a handsome face, but he had very long hair that was dragging on the ground.

Looking down, I saw that this person's entire body was covered by a loose robe. He was of average height and had no other special features. He looked like a real human being.

But why would a human who looks neither male nor female appear in this place?

"Who are you?" Lin Chen asked coldly.

He didn't think that this thing was a player. No player would look or dress like the guy in front of him.

After a few seconds, the other person's eyes looked at Lin Chen and Elena.

"I am... the pioneer."

The man only said five words, but it was enough to shock Lin Chen and Elena.

Because it seemed as if there were two people living in this person's body, the words that came out of his mouth seemed to have been specially processed by a computer, mixed with two completely opposite tones of men and women. These two tones blended together made people's scalps numb.

"pioneer?"

"Yes, this stone house and I were both drawn here by the power of Guixu that you two carry, and by your identities as [Second Round] players."

Hearing this half-man, half-woman guy say this, Lin Chen and Elena looked at each other.

"Can I understand that you are some kind of high-level [Xu]?" Lin Chen asked in a low voice: "Level 5 Xu? Or Level 6 Xu?"

"Xu?" The man smiled faintly. "No... Nowadays, apart from the Novice Village and the border area that have been closed, no Xu can gain a foothold in the Land of the Hunting God. Not to mention a Level 6 Xu, even a Level 10 [Xu King] can't."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Besides the Ruins, is there anything else that can be attracted by the power of Guixu?"

"Of course not normally, but I'm curious what kind of second-game player could use a single normal attack to send ripples through a stone gate. I came here specifically to take a look."

The man spoke neither sadly nor happily, but between the lines of his words, Lin Chen suddenly thought of someone.

A person who always appears with the tent, who looks like an old woman.

Lin Chen swallowed subconsciously.

Tents, stone houses.

Old woman, hermaphrodite?

Could it be that he and that old woman are the same kind of people?
