How Did It Become a River Crab?

"Okay, I will accompany you on this dead end!"

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the police officers in Shahu Town looked suspiciously at the stronghold of the Nosas caravan in the town, and hesitated.

There are often screams and wild laughter in this bar, and there will be faint calls for help from women from time to time. Usually, this time is when they have the most fun, but today, there is silence here, Sharon Gate It was so dark inside that I couldn't see what was going on inside.

Although the mayor had told him not to provoke these people as much as possible for the harmony of the town, and to ignore everything that happened in this bar, but today's incident was too abnormal for the police to ignore it.

After a few struggles, the police officer still coughed twice, and was about to pretend to be passing by to see what these gangsters were doing today.

He took a cautious step, pushed open the door of the salon, walked into it, and immediately smelled a foul smell, which made the policeman's face change drastically.

As a person who has lived in the Old West for more than 20 years, he knows exactly what this smell is. It is the smell that will come out quickly in hot weather...the smell of corpses.

At the same time, the police officer swallowed subconsciously, resisting the urge to vomit, lit the lantern in his hand, and saw the situation in the bar.

Immediately afterwards, everyone within the three streets of Shahu Town heard his screams at the top of his lungs.

The police officer half-kneeled on the ground, and couldn't bear the urge to vomit any longer. He vomited all the dinner he had just eaten on the ground, and the lantern rolled down by his hand spun around a few times, illuminating the scenery inside the bar.

Dozens of chairs were lined up quietly, one gang member after another sat quietly on the chairs, nodding their heads towards the stronghold on the bar counter, like audience members sitting quietly in a theater.

But the necks of every gangster turned 180 degrees in unison, looking at the entrance in the opposite direction to the body, with bloodshot pupils and terrified eyes, but the corners of their mouths grinned to the ears, and their smiles were extremely bright.

That night, the residents of Wheel Town, Dry Sea Town, and Shahu Town didn't know exactly what happened, but everyone figured out one thing: the Nosas caravan was in trouble.

Chapter 380 Five Straw Ghost Town

At [-]:[-] p.m., the occupied area.

A tall red-eyed horse with a dark red mane and a motorcycle galloped on the deserted land together, drifting away from the human world.

After solving the remaining caravan forces in several towns, the players and Lucian quickly embarked on the journey to the iron wheel factory. According to Lucian's calculations, while ensuring that his horse can get a basic rest, plus the Due to the loss of interaction in the dangerous zone, the group can arrive at the iron wheel factory at noon tomorrow at the earliest.

This is not a very sufficient time limit. At noon the day after tomorrow is the time when [Soul Devouring Sandstorm] comes and the Nossus caravan will attack aggressively. Haizhen is doing the final defensive task, so everything must be done quickly, even if you want to explore the branch line, you must try your best to speed up the pace.

The time for the first summoning of the little brother has expired, Mo Lan did not let the little brother go on the road in the air, but put on a hard hat, hung himself behind Su Cai's motorcycle, and hugged a roadside The steel plate I picked up was playing land surfing, and beside him was Lucian who was riding a horse and racing all the way.

Lucian's horse is obviously not a high-end horse. Whether it is from the dark red mane, scarlet pupils or the endurance that can race motorcycles, it is proved that it is transformed into an endless space format, at least it is a good blue horse. .

According to Lucian, this horse was originally just an ordinary horse he pulled from a gangster's old home, and it became stronger all the way because of the strengthening of the demon power in his body.

The power of demons in the Western Phantom Worldview is like plasticine, a highly malleable ability that can be strengthened and deformed according to the user's inner desires and ideas, and has a wide range of versatility.

But at the same time, it will also change the user's own temper, causing it to gradually transform into a dark, depraved, and chaotic direction. Therefore, Lucian is extremely restrained in the power of demons in his body, and only uses this when he can absolutely guarantee safety. This ability is also the reason why he possesses different powers from other demons, and only a small half of his body has been eroded and transformed.

During the rush, Lucian and the players kept an astonishing silence. Sergeant Lu was not surprised by this. This is the power of the fallen land.

In terms of appearance alone, there is no essential difference between the occupied land and the desert inhabited by humans. The sand is still the same sand, and the soil is still the same soil. There is no special feature.

But as they gradually deepened, everyone could feel the magical atmosphere raging in the air and the weird pressure, as if the whole world was rejecting themselves, no matter how happy people were, they would involuntarily become serious here.

However, in fact, in the team channel...

[Mo Lan]: Look at that horse sticking out its tongue while running.

[Su Cai]: Fuck it, hahahahahahahahaha

In an atmosphere that only Lucian felt serious about, a car and a horse galloped at a high speed, and quickly moved towards the first icon on the map.

[Straw Ghost Town], an uninhabited town destroyed by a soul-devouring sandstorm.

According to the traveler, almost all the people who camped around this small town were attacked by ghosts, and sometimes they were even hunted down by a scarecrow-like monster in their dreams. So far, only two or three people have successfully escaped. Out of its claws, the news was told in the bar, and subsequent explorers listed this place as an inaccessible forbidden area.

When the two and one crab arrived outside this uninhabited town, the setting sun had been gradually swallowed by the horizon, and the sky was full of dim yellows that were steadily turning into darkness. The remaining light was only enough for people to see the small town clearly in the flying dust Outline of the town.

Like countless small towns that have been devoured by soul-eating sandstorms and frenzied creatures, the buildings in this town are still basically intact, but every wooden structure is covered with a layer of yellow sand, and the broken support columns , the decayed wooden bar signboard was crumbling in the wind and sand, and the wind passed through the gaps in the building, condensing into a howling wind howling like ghosts and wolves.

In every corner of the town, there are wooden spikes standing one after another, and each spike is stuck with a skinned human corpse, which seems to have been dried by the scorching sun for a long time. The human form is roughly seen, and no longer arouses fear in the viewer.

In Mo Lan's impression, she had seen similar pillars when she was rushing from Kuhai Town to Shahu Town. If it wasn't in the world of LOL, Mo Lan would have thought that there was also Vlad the Impaler playing the erhu here.

"……It's him."

After a moment of silence, Lucian gritted his teeth and spoke.

Just when Mo Lan was about to answer, "That's him, our hero Nezha~", Lu Xian immediately answered.

"This is the handiwork of the Great Demon [Thresh]. He likes to deal with the corpses after his soul has been devoured by him." His tone was gloomy, but he was not nervous.

"So there might be traces of him hidden here?" Mo Lan asked.

"There are traces of him in every corner of the Old West. For a great demon, this is nothing." Lucian shook his head. It is almost impossible to find traces of him in this kind of town."

"So, there is a high probability that the ghosts in this town are only those who took over after Thresh left?"

Mo Lan asked this, but in fact, he and Su Cai had basically guessed who the brother who caused trouble in this town was.

The AP team battle hero of "League of Legends", commonly known as "Scarecrow" [ancient fear Fiddlesticks]

The Scarecrow used to be a naive demon in the background setting, but in 2020, this hero underwent a large-scale rework, and his status in the main world instantly mentioned the level of the top ten demons. Lin is side by side with the devil, and even claims to be the "Chief of the Ten Evils"...

If it is a scarecrow with the strength of the main world of LOL, not only will Mo Lan and Su Cai not take the initiative to kill him, but they will even make a special detour. Human beings grow out of fear, and it is almost impossible to be completely defeated. Players at this stage will do it, and there is a high probability that they will play GG within 1 minute.

But the scarecrow in the western worldview, there are two things to say.

According to the description of the scarecrow's western skin [Wild Ghost], the strength of this version of the scarecrow is much lower than that of the main world. Lucian has never heard of similar legends, which shows that in the old west, its popularity is not too high. For the scarecrow who fears food to become stronger, this is not too different from human malnutrition.

Therefore, players dare to come and touch this exciting fear demon.

Chapter 380 Do I, the Scarecrow, Don't Want Face?

Just as Mo Lan was having a BB with Sergeant Lu, Su Cai narrowed his eyes and looked deep into the town. He reminded Mo Lan in the team channel and made him and Lu Xian look in the same direction as him.

In the street directly opposite the gate of the town, a thin, tall and thin figure suddenly appeared at some point.

In the dim light and the wind and sand sweeping across the town, the figure looked extremely hazy. It didn't move at all, it just raised its hands flat, and its outline swayed in the darkness. It looked like an ordinary scarecrow.

But the three of them knew very well that five seconds ago, there was absolutely nothing similar there, absolutely nothing.

[Mo Lan]: I think this TM looks a lot like modeling a character with lost action files in the game and can only raise his hands horizontally...

[Su Cai]: Damn, you are the strongest when it comes to destroying the atmosphere.

"Let me try it." Glancing at the "scratch-haired" person and crab next to him, Lucian drew out two pistols from his waist, narrowed his left eye, and fired in the direction of the scarecrow.

The crimson bullet shot out, and it was about to hit the scarecrow's head, but the next moment, the scarecrow's figure disappeared out of thin air, and the bullet passed through its original position and disappeared into the darkness.

At this moment, Mo Lan and Su Cai, who are well versed in the routines of horror games, understood and turned around at the same time. One pulled out the USP silencer version replaced by the despiritual bullet, and the other took out the book that switched to the sequence of shooting magic arrows, and looked behind them. shot out.

Behind them, the moment bullets and magic arrows rushed out, a figure nearly three meters tall, with a distorted posture, a face covered in scarlet rags, and an old denim suit suddenly appeared behind the three of them. The black pupil faintly exudes a haunting evil light, staring at the players below.

Scarecrow, 【Wild Ghost Fiddlesticks】...

Then...it was covered in Mo De's emotional magic arrows and spirit-killing bullets.

Fiddlesticks didn't seem to have expected that his traditional artistic skills would actually let him down. First, he was hit by a wave of barrage and staggered back two steps, and threw three condensed dark red light balls at the three of them. Immediately afterwards, he disappeared in front of everyone again.

At the same time, all three of them felt a strong sense of palpitation at the same time, as if some kind of unreasonable uneasiness enveloped the brain, inexplicably flustered, but it was far from the point where they lost their ability to move.

...is that the scarecrow?

The players looked up at their status bar.

[Gloomy Fear]: [Wilderness Ghost Fiddlesticks] released the fear in its body to you, and you will fall into a state of fear for up to 15 seconds. Before that, the more frightened you are, the more fear you feel The stronger, the strongest may cause you to lose control of your body within 15 seconds and sway involuntarily, but as a protection mechanism, you will not feel this level of fear.

Oh no wonder.

According to Scarecrow Brothers' expectations, it should be able to scare the three people into the urine on the spot with the wave just now, and then use this trick to make them pull their hips on the spot for 15 seconds, GG on the spot.

Perhaps for explorers in the Old West, this might be quite scary, but for Mo Lan and Su Cai as players...

There is one thing to say, the two brothers are tired of watching this kind of routine in independent horror games, even if Su Cai has the guts, he will not be afraid of this level of inferior JUMP SCARE, let alone this is the Western Phantom World. Nowhere near those real horror games.

Of the remaining two, Sergeant Lu is the holder of the power of demons, so he is naturally not afraid of a scarecrow who seems to be far less powerful than the main world version.

As for Mo Lan, he was so stubborn. When he was a child, he watched The Grudge and Midnight Bell with his magical parents in the stroller. He watched horror movies since he was a child. It was only when someone told him that it was called a horror movie that Mo Lan realized it. It's too late, Mo Lan, who has read countless movies, has lost the ability to respond to most of the scary scenes...

Maybe it was a little confused, but Fiddlesticks didn't show up again for the next few tens of seconds. Seeing this, Lucian put away his gun, narrowed his eyes, and the demonic part of his body gradually emitted a lava-like luster. After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his eyes.

"It's still nearby." Sergeant Lu said in an extremely positive tone: "He's not a demon, he's more like a magical creature spawned by emotions, but he can use the power of the demon left in this place to move through space. Just hiding somewhere in this small town, waiting for the next opportunity to attack."

"And..." Lucian said, drew out his pistol, aimed at the road behind him, and pulled the trigger. The bullet hit an invisible wall and spread away without even a single ripple.

"The barrier lasts for about half an hour. Someone was able to come out alive before, and it probably lasted for half an hour." Lucian put away his gun and added: "How about it? Stay here for half an hour, or go in to find it ? This is its home field."

This uninhabited town is Fiddlesticks' stronghold. Naturally, it knows every corner here. In addition, it has the ability to teleport to hide itself. The degree of difficulty is much higher than expected.

According to the process, this side mission should require players to resist the scarecrow's raids again and again in a dangerous environment, suppress their inner fear, and look for opportunities to fight back. This is also the biggest difficulty of the whole side mission.

but……

"Of course I want to go in and look for it." Mo Lan said without hesitation, "But it's not like this."

"How did you find that?" Lucian wondered.

"Let me confirm one thing first." Mo Lan flipped through the backpack, "Can it be invisible?"

"I don't think so, otherwise it would have raided us two or three times by now."

"Then it's easy." Mo Lan said, and took out a prop from the backpack.

"Doesn't it like hide and seek?

Then we let him have no place to hide, and the problem will naturally be solved. "

Hearing these words, Su Cai and Lucian turned their attention to the props in Mo Lan's hand at the same time.

That is a【Stone Pickaxe】...

In the following time, Mo Lan showed Lucian and Su Cai what real demolition is.

He took out this stone pick and tapped lightly on the first wooden house at the entrance. In the next second, the whole house collapsed on the spot and turned into wooden debris all over the floor, which was quickly blown by the wind It's all over the place.

[Stone Pick]'s demolition effect is fully effective when touched.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Lan gracefully turned around on the spot, stood on tiptoe ballet steps, and gracefully pointed the stone pick in her hand on the second house. After a second, a river crab sprinted towards another house. The victim house ran to...
