Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

"That Li Ji was like this before, and you are like this too. Now that you are in my hands, why bother asking for trouble?"

This demon is...

Threatening me? Is he going to torture me?

Have we finally reached this stage?

Uncle Benz happily turned on the recording function, and by the way, turned on the voice in the group, and then immediately sneered disdainfully:

"Dirty idiots, you sewer rats are only fit to hide in the sewers. You do these shameful things every day. Do you really think you are..."

"Oh~"

Before he could finish his words, he felt the branches that had pierced his limbs begin to wriggle inside his body again, not just at the wound site, but also spreading deeper along his skin and blood vessels.

But because he completely blocked out the pain, he only felt a tingling sensation.

I have to say, it was quite comfortable, and the first thing he uttered was not a scream, but a somewhat lewd moan.

So the demon's methods are 10% off?

It makes people want to laugh.

"Hahahaha! Is this the extent of your methods?! Demon, demon, demon, nothing more than this!"

Looking at the increasingly arrogant humans, Li Ji was really surprised.

Countless tiny branches penetrate deep into the human body, and the pain and discomfort are definitely not something a normal person can endure.

Even if you can endure the pain, it is impossible for you to laugh and shout loudly like this person.

Did he undergo special training?

Or is there really such a belief that can make people immune to pain and even willing to give up their lives?

"These people are very stubborn. Don't waste time." The black bird looked in the direction of the trading point.

I don’t know if Li Ji’s shout just now was heard by people nearby.

Since you can't get any results, don't stay here too long.

"Are you going to take over this person's body? With the cultivation level of the early Yellow Rank, you should be able to see that leader frequently." The black bird looked at Li Ji again, "Let him poison, the success rate should be much higher."

I'm super!

There’s also intelligence!

Are these demons really planning to poison us? Sounds like they're planning to poison their leader?

"No need, I know him. He does some dirty and tiring work every day. There is no need to take over his body."

After saying that, the last wooden stick in Li Ji's hand shot out directly, instantly piercing Uncle Benz's head and making the scene in front of him turn black instantly.

Hey!

What does this demon mean?

What does 'there is no need to possess another' mean?

I'm a level 12 player after all, who are you looking down on?!

Gugu: There is no need to possess another body, hhhhhhh, so this is the status of Daben in the eyes of demons?

Xia Shu: Short for roadside.

On the Edge of Rage: Actually, I want to know which people are worthy of possessing others’ bodies.

Uncle Potato: Shouldn't there be a 'Demon Possession List' at a time like this, where they list the people who are worthy of possession one by one according to their serial numbers?

Mai Men Yongcun: There’s this ‘Eternal Prodigies List’ in the novel, right? Then I’ll definitely be on the list!

Rice dumplings are more delicious: I want to be on the list too!

Dandan’s Smile: Uh… I feel that the top few should be the old players who just logged in when the server was first launched. At least they seem to have a high status in the gathering place.

Phosphorus pentoxide: Damn, it turns out I’m Lao Deng.

Favorite black silk legs: Brother Meng, is there a way to be possessed? I'd like to try it.

Gugu: If there is a way, I will go there by myself.

Lemon: If there is a way, I will go there myself.

I'm Not a Traitor: There's a Way...

Fujiwara Tofu Shop: Stop repeating! Have you noticed that talking bird? I've seen it a few times at the trading post before! Once, it even flew to the roof of the mission hall!

Fujiwara Tofu Shop: Bird Picture.JPG

Tuanzi: I've seen it! I told you about it! It was a bird that looked just like me. When we were camped in Yangwei Village, it flew right into camp and circled around a few times. But it was too dark and it flew so fast that I didn't have time to take a picture.

Lazy State Ramen: Hiss... Now that you mention it, I seem to have seen this kind of bird in the gathering place as well.

Kegel Assistant: That bird just said, "My existence might be exposed," right? Could it be a demon's spy?!

King of Gamblers: I'm awesome! Demon Bird?!

Babatos: Huh~ I didn’t expect you to have such a hobby.

King of Kings:?

Phosphorus pentoxide:?

Alps:?

Chapter 252 This is a Game

"The little black bird..."

Tang Yi was sitting on top of a watchtower at the trading point at this time, with a newly activated little star next to him. He then nodded thoughtfully while watching the group chat.

"Xiaoxing, can you check all the images that players have seen, and then count the frequency of appearance of this black bird?" He turned around and gently patted Xiaoxing's head.

Come to think of it, Tang Yi really didn't notice the presence of these black birds.

After all, there have always been many animals in the valley, and birds often fly over the gathering place.

So most people really don't care about these wild birds.

"We are currently counting and checking." Xiaoxing said immediately.

"Inspection completed."

"So fast?" Tang Yi raised his eyebrows.

I have to say that the smart terminal backed by a research institute is very fast in computing.

Unlike the computer in his previous life, it would take half a day to play a game.

"A total of 11451 images were found. After comparison, more than 99% of the black flying creatures were of this unknown black bird. Their appearances were highly consistent, suggesting they are the same individual. Furthermore, their frequency of appearance was significantly inconsistent with normal bird behavior."

"So it really is eyeliner." Tang Yi nodded slightly.

He knew that demons had many different methods, but could they even control living things?

So what is the basis for this control?

Size or intelligence?

If it's about size, doesn't that mean they have to be on guard against insects too?

And if it comes to IQ, there are also children and intellectually disabled people among humans.

What should I do? It's hard to prevent.

……

More than half an hour later.

Li Ji finally walked out of the woods in the east, holding a pile of wood in his arms.

Just as he arrived at the camp, he saw Li Si coming towards him in a hurry.

"Where have you been?! I've been looking for you for almost half an hour!"

"I... I went to the woods in the east to move some wood." Li Ji quickly put down the wood in his arms, and then his speech became hesitant.

"Is now the time to run and carry wood?!"

Li Si said to Li Ji with some dismay, "We are now helping the chief. We have to stay at the trading point during the day. If I run out like you, what if we are not there when the chief comes to look for us?"

"We came all the way from Shaling. You've experienced hard times before."

"Now that we have the opportunity to live a stable life, we must cherish it even more. Do you understand?"

Li Ji nodded immediately.

When Li Si saw Li Ji's expression, he sighed and didn't continue talking.

"Come on, come back to the trading point with me."

He immediately turned around and took Li Ji towards the canteen of the trading point.

"Your uncle Li Bang said that he would like to invite the chief and several residents of the settlement to taste the special dishes of our Shaling Town tonight."

"It just so happens that you often took charge of cooking during our buffets before, so we plan to let you be in charge of a few dishes." At this point, Li Si even slowed down his pace and turned back to look at Li Ji, and said seriously.

"This banquet is crucial. We don't seek to impress the leader, but we must at least not make any mistakes that would ruin his impression of us. Got it?!"

"Yes!"

Li Ji immediately stood still and gave Li Si a clumsy military salute.

"You kid."

Li Si laughed when he saw this scene, and he patted Li Ji's shoulder gently.

"Your uncle Li Bang and I are both old, and your uncle Li Bang has a group of brothers and friends in the valley to take care of, so the future of our Li Village still depends on you."

"You have to work hard."

Li Ji continued to nod vigorously.

Then the two continued walking towards the cafeteria.

As Li Si walked, he was thinking about what dishes to make tonight and what he needed to pay attention to.

Li Ji was wondering why there was a dinner for the leader just after it got the poison.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Could this be a setup targeting it?

……

"This operation is actually a setup."

Maomao and Phantom Tank were holding a meeting with a group of players in the mission hall. Because there were not enough chairs, most people were sitting on the ground.

Some players were on guard nearby to make sure no outsiders approached.

"The primary goal of this game is to capture Li Ji, but Chen Lu is now in Yangwei Village, and Yang Yang has also gone to the town. We are seriously lacking in high-end strength, so Li Ji can only be dealt with by the leader."

This was also Maomao's first time holding a combat meeting. Fortunately, although he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. He imitated the tone of Yu Shui and Alps before, and seemed to be quite capable.

"Secondly, we need to monitor all the refugees outside, especially those from Lijia Village, to see if they are completely unaware of Li Ji's situation or if they are just a group of refugees disguised as rebels."

The reason why Tang Yi did not attack Li Ji directly after the death of Uncle Mercedes was that he wanted to try again to see if the refugees outside had any connection with this demon.

After all, the system can only see whether a person's body has been possessed by a demon, but it has no way of knowing whether his heart has already betrayed him.

"Finally, pay attention to whether there are other forces approaching the trading point. If an inexplicably armed force appears nearby at this time, it is likely that they are humans who have defected to the demons and will be treated as rebels."

"One more reminder."

Maomao looked at the dozens of players in front of him, and then asked Xiaoxing to bring out the picture of the black bird.

"If you find this little black bird, just shoot it. Each corpse will be rewarded with 50 Alliance Coins in the mission hall."

"They're most likely the demon's spies, so you must always keep an eye on nearby trees, the sky, and various high points. You don't even need to identify the species; if they're black, kill them all."

"As for everything about the plan, it's all privately discussed on Moments. Don't say it if you can."

At this point, the entire combat planning meeting was almost coming to an end. Maomao nodded, and then the Phantom Tank at the side walked up, his tone instantly becoming high-pitched.

"Bros!"
