Chapter 533: Jumo Island (Thirty-Nine)

In the southeast of the Crystal Maze, there is a place called "Fear Leaf".

The so-called "Fear Leaf" is both a place name and a thing.

And the owner of this place, or this leaf, is the aerial overlord of the maze - "Silkworm Mother".

Just as Feng Bujue and his team received the mission...

Accompanied by a strange sound of "hissing, hissing", a huge white shadow crawled towards this place. She was very fast, and her huge body was much more flexible than it looked.

Not long after, she climbed onto this giant mulberry leaf that was about the size of a football field and perched on the leaf veins.

"Uh - vomit -"

Silkworm Mother used her "cute voice" like a lolita to make an extremely creepy vomiting sound.

The next second, a piece of mucus gushed out of her mouth. Then, a pink and white human-shaped pupa fell out and fell on the leaf surface.

"Hehehe... you haven't gone crazy yet..." Silkworm Mother sneered, "This is the first time I've seen a human being who can hold on for so long..."

As she spoke, the "human pupa" was pulled by the silk thread and slowly stood up, rising to a higher altitude (the height of the fear leaf was parallel to the silk net in the air, and the silkworm mother was always moving in the world above the silk net).

"After being controlled by me, ordinary people will immediately fall into extreme panic. Even if they are left alone, they will go crazy within ten minutes." Silkworm Mother continued, "And you... were swallowed by me and brought all the way here, but you still have no signs of mental breakdown..."

Around the fear leaf, there stood four or five extremely tall crystal pillars that gradually gathered upwards. In the interval between the silkworm mother's words. The pupa containing the useless uncle had risen to the top edge of one of the crystal pillars and was suspended there.

"But don't worry... I can wait." The silkworm mother laughed grimly, "You should be able to hear it now, right? Hee... That's right, there are also a few stubborn guys like you among the pupae beside you, and they are all still alive."

She was referring to the pupae hanging on the other crystal pillars. However, the size of those pupae is larger than the one where Uncle Waste Chai is staying. Judging from the appearance... the pupae are obviously not humanoid creatures.

"The time they stay there is far beyond your imagination... Hee hee hee..." The silkworm mother continued, "Don't expect to starve to death... You won't. My pupae can guarantee your survival. Until you become a mentally ill meal." She laughed twice again with pride, and then her tone suddenly turned cold, "Huh... I know you still have hope." She snorted. "That's right. Your companions did successfully cut off the 'brain thread' I implanted. But you don't have to think that they will rescue you."

At this point, her body shook again.

At this moment, the silk net above the entire crystal maze returned to its invisible state.

"I won't let them succeed..." said the silkworm mother gloomily. Mengmeng's voice formed a sharp contrast with her tone, "I'll wait here...wait for them to fall into the trap..."

…………

Crystal Maze, another place.

"Eh? The net disappeared again." Jibe looked at the changes above his head and said.

"It didn't disappear, it just returned to its invisible state." Feng Bujue continued.

"In my opinion..." Honghu thought thoughtfully, "It may be a sign of the silkworm mother returning to the nest..."

"I say..." Tianma Xingkong turned to Feng Bujue and said, "Are you sure we are going in the right direction?"

"Yeah, I also want to ask, why are you confidently leading the way again?" Jibe also asked.

"I can't say I'm fully confident. I'm only 60% to 70% sure this time..." Feng Bujue explained, "You've also seen the patched silk net before, right? Based on the depth of the silk color, I roughly guessed the order and direction of the 'silkworm mother' weaving the net, and thus determined which direction she was retreating to." He gestured upwards, "Besides... the direction we are currently heading in is basically the same as the path she took when she approached earlier."

"Awoo--"

Before Brother Jue finished speaking, a very standard wolf howl suddenly came from the front of the crowd.

The four players immediately stopped and became alert.

Now they have become frightened birds, and they have to be cautious even if there is a slight disturbance...

At this moment, the terribleness of the nightmare difficulty gradually emerged... Even though the five people who entered the game this time were all powerful players, it didn't make the script process much easier. Because they had almost no chance to show their own strength advantages. Since the beginning of the script, there have been few serious battles, but everyone's physical strength has been almost used up; under the triple debuff of hunger, thirst and fatigue, there is no need for any powerful monsters to attack, just some disgusting scene settings can make players exhausted and embarrassed.

"Uh..." The low beast roar gradually approached, and a beast shadow appeared faintly behind a translucent crystal column in front of the side.

Just when all the players thought that it would be some kind of wolf-like creature, the system played them again...

"Ah~" With another wolf howl, the phantom beast finally jumped out from behind the crystal column and showed its true form.

It was a sheep...

And it was a wild goat, which looked like a highland breed. Its fur was brown-gray, and the upper part was darker. There was a pair of slightly curved large horns on the top of its head, with many horizontal ridges on it, like a continuous mountain range.

"Aww--" The goat stared with bulging eyes, lowered its head, shook its horns intimidatingly, and let out a wolf howl again.

The players' expressions at this time, however, were not afraid at all. A group of people just looked at the creature in front of them with an extremely painful look.

"This... is a sheep..." Ji Bu said with a twitch in his mouth.

"Ah, it looks like a sheep anyway." Hong Hu continued.

"Well... maybe it needs to survive, so it has evolved the ability to imitate the calls of natural enemies..." Feng Bujue said with his chin in his hand.

Just as the three of them were commenting on the goat in front of them, Tianma Xingkong stepped on the ground and jumped forward.

"Evil creature!" Tianma Xingkong waved his arm and pointed, shouting with full momentum, "Do you want to stop the hero's steps!"

"Awoo--" The goat howled again, as if it really understood what Xiao Ma said.

"I advise you to turn back from your wrong path!" Tianma Xingkong turned sideways again, changed his angle, and pointed at the other party in a completely symmetrical posture, "I still see a trace of kindness in your eyes... Even if the matter between your mother and the wolf made your childhood suffer discrimination, you can't give up on yourself, you want..."

"Kindness your sister!" Feng Bujue rushed up from behind, slapped Xiao Ma Ge in the face, and pushed him aside, "What mother and wolf? What's the age of a plane? What country's discrimination? What kind of mouth cannon are you talking to a goat? Do you think you are Naruto?"

Before he finished complaining, he heard a "clang" sound, and Jue Ge's kitchen knife was out of the bag.

"You all step back, at this moment, I, who has the strength of the 'Five Tiger Stars', will handle it." Feng Bujue picked up the kitchen knife and was ready to take action at that time.

In his eyes, whether it was a wolf or a sheep, there was no difference... He ate all the elves, so how could animals survive in his hands?

"Uh... what is he talking about?" Hong Hu asked in confusion.

"According to the setting... the Five Tigers are the five strongest chefs in the dark cuisine world (also translated as the cuisine world)." Ji Bu continued. One second after he finished speaking, he sighed, covered his face and shook his head, "Alas... why do I know such a thing..."

While they were talking, Brother Jue had already pounced on the goat...

Then, amid the groans and roars of the man and the beast, an extremely ugly wrestling duel was staged.

In order to protect the integrity of the "ingredients", Feng Bujue chose to hold a kitchen knife and fight in close combat, but he was exhausted...

In the end, he had no choice but to activate the [Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique-Modified] to complete the kill.

When the goat was pressed to the ground and its neck was cut, Feng Bujue did something that seemed quite disgusting to others... He went up and drank a few mouthfuls of raw goat blood.

After drinking the sheep's blood, he generously wiped his mouth with his sleeve, stood up, and burped; "Ah... not bad."

"I really don't know how to evaluate your behavior..." Hong Hu licked his lips inadvertently, "I can only say that you are an extreme pragmatist."

"Come and drink quickly if you want to drink. I will cut it after you finish drinking." While Feng Bujue was talking, he playfully used blood to draw a smiley face on both sides of his mouth.

"Is this... really drinkable?" Tianma Xingkong asked while swallowing his saliva. Obviously, he was as thirsty as his teammates, but he still had some psychological obstacles.

"I seem to have seen raw goat blood on the menu of a hot pot restaurant before..." Jibe continued, "but I didn't dare to order it because I was afraid of parasites."

"I see..." Honghu was relieved when he heard this, and immediately walked towards the goat's body, "Then there's nothing to worry about, maybe it tastes good." His idea was also very pragmatic. If it was just a parasite, it didn't matter... Anyway, there was no need to worry about getting sick in the game. Even if some abnormal state was really induced, it could be relieved with potions.

Honghu bent his knees and squatted, lowered his head and drank a few sips from the goat's neck. After three seconds, he stood up and said with a strange expression: "Oh my god... Why is it so hard to drink?"

"I didn't say it tasted good." Feng Bujue shrugged.

"Then why did you say 'really good' with a satisfied look on your face?" Honghu roared.

"Because it can quench thirst, and I didn't get any abnormal status after drinking it." Feng Bujue replied, "If it meets these two points, it is a qualified drink. What else do you want?"

"Well... for me..." Jibe continued, "I want to put it in a bowl, add some coriander and crushed peanuts..."

"I want to boil it to kill bacteria, and then add some salt." Tianma Xingkong also replied.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Faced with these two guys who answered rhetorical questions as interrogative sentences, Feng Bujue was also quite helpless, "If you want to drink it, hurry up, I still have to deal with the body after drinking it. Do you still want to save Uncle Waste Chai? Are you planning to divide the luggage and go back to Gao Laozhuang?" (To be continued..)
