The Midnight Owl

Xu Wang led his friends and ran all the way through the "left-right-left-left" at the speed of a [-]-meter sprint, but suddenly braked suddenly at the fifth left turn!

Wu Sheng, who was following behind, reacted very quickly and stopped with his foot. After that, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin didn't have such a tacit understanding, and bumped into him one after another.Wu Sheng held on to the wall of the maze in a daze, and withstood the impact of the two people, without affecting the front at all, his own captain who was sneaking around the corner to inquire about the enemy's situation.

Panting, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin, who didn't know why, gradually heard the curses from the corner, and they understood it immediately.

This is the last section of the route given by Xiao Huang. According to Yue Shuai, the next NPC usually waits at the end of the previous NPC's guidance.They were ready to turn this corner and fight the second NPC, but they didn't expect that there was a team that arrived before them.

Soon, the heads protruding from the corner became four, from bottom to top, headed by Captain Xu, lined up in a row, and the six small eyes that joined in later, when seeing the "battle situation" at the end of the fork, they were the same as their own captain , stared wide-eyed.

At the end of the fork, there is a sea of ​​plants.

The huge green plants that almost spread over the walls of the maze have different shapes.There are shell-shaped ones with tooth whiskers on the edge; some have wide openings and narrow lower ends, like elongated green calla lilies; and some are cylindrical like a small lantern.

They grow from the bottom of the labyrinth, intertwined and entangled into a "green hell".

"Venus flytrap, pitcher plant, pitcher plant..." Wu Sheng flipped through the mind encyclopedia, and quickly called up the plant files, "They are all carnivorous plants."

"Your knowledge reserve..." Qian Ai's head was on top of Wu Sheng, and she was about to look down when she spoke, "Not counting owls, is there anything in this world that can hinder you?"

Wu Sheng's head was above Xu Wang, and even though Qian Ai answered, his eyes were also looking down. After a while, he sighed softly: "Yes."

Xu Wang only listened to the conversation above his head, and felt that Wu Sheng's answer was rare "modest", and had an inexplicable "meaningful", but the battle ahead was too fierce, doubts only flashed, and then disappeared.

At the end of the fork in the road, three people in the unlucky recruited team have been swept up into the air by the horrible plants, some are trapped in the two shell-shaped fleshy leaves of the giant Venus flytrap, and some are trapped in the leaf tube of the pitcher plant , are struggling, but in vain.

There was another person standing on the ground with a distressed expression. Some withered stems and leaves at his feet should have used stationery to block the plant attack and became the only survivor.

Standing in front of him was a girl in a pure white princess dress, wearing a white lace umbrella, spotless from head to toe, as if she had nothing to do with this battle, just passing by, curious to see more I took a few glances.

"What are you still doing, attack—"

"If you don't dare to fight, help us down, let's go up!"

"Fuck, why don't you make a sound—"

The three people who fell into the "plant mouth" couldn't get out of the trap, but when they sprayed their teammates, they were more powerful than the other.

The girl in the princess dress tilted her head, her big ignorant eyes flickered, as if she didn't understand what the three of them were cursing.

Xu Wang finally understood why there were only "cursing sounds" but no "fighting sounds".

This is not a battle, at most it is the play of a girl in a princess dress-summoning a few plants to tease the team that breaks through the level.

Suddenly, a bullet appeared behind the girl. Under the moonlight, the metal body of the bullet reflected silver light and went straight towards the back of the girl's head!

The speed was too fast, and the afterimage of the bullet flying was connected into a silver line in Xu Wang's eyes.

unavoidable.

As onlookers, the four partners only had time to flash this thought, and the bullet had already penetrated the umbrella, and the wind that engulfed it even blew the hair on the back of the girl's head.

But at this fatal moment, a cluster of huge vines suddenly grew under the girl's feet, directly lifting the girl up!

The bullet finally hit one of the vines, and the vine suddenly bent, entangled the bullet in it, and there was no possibility of freedom.

The girl was still sitting on the "air chair" made of several other vines, and she threw the umbrella with a hole in it, and it floated to the ground.

"You broke my umbrella." The girl was sullen, her eyebrows furrowed, the corners of her mouth drooped, and her eyes were full of resentment.But with an innocent baby face, no matter how resentful she is, she is like a child being angry.

However, what she did next was not "children" at all.

She reached out her hand to the fourth person who was still standing on the ground, with her palm facing the other person, and the girl's lips moved slightly, as if she was silently reciting the name of the stationery.

The people on the ground didn't dodge or dodge, they closed their eyes, and their bodies immediately ignited flames, and in an instant, they turned into human-shaped fireballs!

"Invincible Hot Wheels!" Qian Ai recognized his "old friend" at a glance.

Xu Wang finally understood how the charred plants at the man's feet got here.

If you want to use weapons as armor, this team shouldn't be so weak.But looking at it now, it is indeed vulnerable, and there is only one reason - the NPC is too strong.

"Your stationery is all plant-based, right?" The fourth person obviously gained experience and confidence from the previous battle, "then take out one that can spray water, otherwise it will be in vain."

The girl ignored him at all, and after silently reading the name of the stationery, she flipped her palm, and another new umbrella appeared. The lace was not as complicated and gorgeous as before, but it was still pure white, and the handle was on the palm.Gently grasping it, the girl put on the umbrella again and looked down leisurely.

On the ground under the fourth person's feet, a huge, bright red piranha suddenly bloomed.

It doesn't need to extinguish the flame first, and then fight with the fourth person. It opens its mouth wide, and directly engulfs the person and the flame together.

The girl yawned, seemingly bored, and looked at the three people in the air with a lack of interest. With a blink of an eye, all the plants closed the entrance, and the three disappeared. The curses that had been repeated one second before disappeared together with the instigator.

The vines slowly lowered the girl back to the ground, and all the green plants disappeared in an instant.

The girl is holding an umbrella, standing quietly at the end of the fork, looking up at the moonlight, beautiful and peaceful.

Not far away, the four partners who watched the whole process felt complicated.

Student Qian Ai's mood is enough to represent the whole team: "The black loli Yue Shuai mentioned, did he change into a white dress today..."

In the experience provided by Yue Shuai, there is no girl in this pure white princess dress. It may be that their routes are staggered from this girl, or it may really be that other girls change skirts every day, but when they happen to meet Yue Jiajun, they are all black. Tie.

But no matter what, Team Yue has a tip, which is very suitable for the current situation——

[I feel that the signs are not right, I would rather change the road than rush in, once I step on the road where the NPC is, I can't turn back. 】

Xu Wang was indecisive, but time could not be wasted like this, he had to make a quick decision whether to advance or retreat.

"Captain," Kuang Jinxin was the first to say, "I think we can do it."

"Forget it, I'll go all out," Qian Ai put down his life-saving priority, "I abstain."

Xu Wang: "...Shouldn't you agree to fight if you go all out?"

Qian Ai: "Abstaining from voting has exhausted my fire of courage."

With one vote forward and one abstention, Xu Wang finally looked at Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng didn't vote, but asked: "Do you want to enter?"

Xu Wang looked at him for two seconds and nodded.

Wu Sheng raised his hand and knocked down a <[defense] copper wall and iron wall>, and the four of them quickly raised four transparent defensive walls.

"Then just go ahead." This was his answer.

The armor surrounded the four of them, and it also surrounded Xu Wang's heart.

The hesitation disappeared all of a sudden, his gaze became firm, and he looked straight ahead: "Go."

When the captain gave an order, the morale of the army was no longer shaken, and the four companions stepped into the fork in a big stride, with a menacing aura, quite a bit of the momentum of people blocking and killing people, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha.

"Plan B." Xu Wang fixed his eyes on the girl in the princess dress, setting the tone for this battle.

They didn't deliberately hide their footsteps, and soon, the side faces in the umbrellas slowly turned around, and their eyes were still innocent and ignorant.

The four partners have seen "Green Hell", no matter how innocent this face is, they will not take it lightly.

Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps came from the front.

This is a road that only turns left. Xu Wang's goal is to defeat the girl, turn left and go forward, but now, in the road that turns left, the sound of running footsteps is approaching.

Is there a team running towards them?

Backtrack?

The girl heard it too. She turned around, looked at Xu Wang's side, and then looked at the other side where the footsteps came from. From her angle, she could clearly see the person coming.

The sound of plants growing came from behind.

The four partners froze for a moment, turned their heads instinctively, and saw a huge wall of ivy rising from the ground, sealing off the road behind them.

At the same time, the same sound came from the left turn ahead.

The four partners glanced at each other, could it be that the girl in the princess dress also blocked the opponent's retreat?

This is to trap the two teams here, one against eight?

"Listen up," the girl said, with a cool voice, like a spring in a forest under the moonlight, "Xiaobai will only guide one team, whoever wins will come and challenge me."

After finishing speaking, a two-leaf bud sprouted under her feet. The stem grew taller and the leaves grew bigger and bigger. She jumped onto a leaf and followed it back to the sky, sitting on the "leaf" to watch the tiger fight.

Xu Wang finally realized that the situation had changed. He ran a few steps, rushed to the end of the road, and looked to the left. The other team not far away was also full of unexpected surprises.

"Damn!" It was one of the ten teams gathered at the entrance of the maze, and Xu Wang recognized him at a glance, "What are you running around like headless chickens, why did you come here—"

[Once two or more teams appear on the road where the NPC is at the same time, the NPC will block the back lanes of all the teams and require each team to decide the winner before fighting him. 】

This is the rule that Yue Shuai emphasized and reminded them all the time, try not to compete with other teams for an NPC, unless there is a quick win.Otherwise, once you grab it, it means at least two battles, not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the risk of going home is higher.

Xu Wang and the others were watching around the corner just now. Apart from wanting to find out the strength of the NPCs, they also didn't want to step into the battle prematurely, because once they came in early, it would be equivalent to clearing that team. The team fights first, and then PK with her.

Just like it is now.

"I still want to ask how you guys came here." During the match, Captain Xu never showed weakness. When the top team came, he still challenged him. ?”

The four people looked puzzled: "The way you are going is the way back!"

Xu Wang suddenly understood that there is no such thing as a turning back in the maze, each team is detouring, and they may go around to the same point from any road, and then meet each other on a narrow road.

"What are you talking nonsense with them?" The one standing at the side of the four got impatient, and said to his teammate who was challenging Xu Wang, "A few newbies who don't understand farts, hurry up and don't waste time. "

Xu Wang raised his eyebrows, not wanting to waste any more saliva with them.

Who is a novice and who is a weak chicken, see the true chapter in the stationery war.

"What did you say?" On the high green leaves, the girl's voice suddenly raised.

Captain Xu, who was about to order some stationery to launch an attack, was almost frightened and turned his head.

Qian Ai also turned his head when he heard the sound, while the other team just looked up and looked behind the opponent.

Junshi Wu was the only one, his eyes were still locked on the opponent to prevent him from being attacked, but his ears were erect, the kind that didn't miss a single particle of the tone.

The voice came from the green leaves behind, but the girl on the green leaves was looking at Kuang Jinxin who was standing below.

Kuang Jinxin also looked confused. He just watched the holed umbrella take up space on the ground. He wanted to put it away for fear of affecting the battle later, but the girl on the green leaf stared at his every move with fierce eyes. That's why he explained.

The air was suddenly quiet.

Everyone is waiting.

Kuang swallowed, and had to repeat again: "I said, your new umbrella looks better. I put the old one away."

Xiaobai pouted: "No!"

"...Your new umbrella is cuter!" Kuang Jinxin finally found the wrong word.

Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, suddenly a little shy: "Is it really cuter?"

Kuang Jinxin couldn't see the subtle changes in his eyebrows and eyes, so he told the truth: "Really, your original one had a lot of decorations, and it was actually a bit cumbersome. Your current one is just right, cute and refreshing, just like you."

Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Qian Ai: "..."

Four opponents: "..."

Can you be serious, this group of single dogs are fighting, why are you so good, and you can still flirt with NPCs! ! !

"Stop fighting," the girl suddenly looked at the other seven people, and smiled, "Xiaobai is in a good mood, let's play a game."

As soon as the words fell, the eight people only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and when they looked around again, the maze was gone, and the eight people were in a girl's bedroom full of dolls.

There are dolls piled on the ground, shelves are set up on the walls, filled with dolls, and the tables and beds are also filled with dolls.

Big dolls, small dolls, male dolls, female dolls, exotic dolls, masquerade dolls... Hundreds of dolls, each of them is beautiful and lovely, but when put together so overwhelmingly, you can see After a long time, there is a weird horror.

If intensive phobia comes, you don't have to look at it for a long time, and it will collapse in an instant.

"Welcome to Xiaobai's room," the girl's joyful voice came from nowhere, "Do you like Xiaobai's doll?"

Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Qian Ai: "..."

Four opponents: "..."

Kuang Jinxin: "Are they all your dolls?"

Confirmed the eyes, you two hit it off! ! !

"Yeah!" Xiaobai replied very proudly, "So you have to watch carefully——"

The protracted ending gradually disappeared, and the doll's bedroom fell into silence.

Eight people are baffled.

But since the NPC said to watch it carefully, let's watch it.

1 minutes later.

Xu Wang: "Wu Sheng, this doll's striped clothes are similar to what you wore the day you entered the owl!"

Wu Sheng: "Here is the one who only wears a pair of shorts. The prototype may be you."

Xu Wang: "..."

2 minutes later.

Kuang Jinxin: "Ah, Captain, Brother Sheng, come and have a look, is this Chi Yingxue?"

Qian Ai: "How can he be so handsome..."

3 minutes later.

Qian Ai: "Emma, ​​come here, come here, I found Yue Shuai hahaha——"

The four opponents: "...Are you all so happy!!!"

"Snapped--"

The lights in the doll's bedroom suddenly went out, interrupting Xu Wang's team's enthusiastic "finding familiar faces" and saving the fighting spirit of the four opponents who were on the verge of collapse.

The darkness lasted for about ten seconds.

The lights came on again.

It was still the doll's bedroom. Looking around, there was no change. Even the doll that Qian Ai took out and put on Captain Yue's body was still in his hands.

"Have you looked carefully?" Xiaobai's cheerful voice came again, "Listen to me if you have looked carefully—"

"Just after turning off the lights, I secretly stuffed a new doll into the room. Whoever can find it first, his team will be the winner of this game!"

The four opponents looked at each other, and then looked at the densely packed and dazzling room, going crazy: "Isn't this a needle in a haystack!!!"

No.

Xu Wang, Qian Ai, and Kuang Jinxin looked at Wu Sheng, looking for a needle in a haystack is a stupid mortal, and my own Wu, the strongest brain, and a military division, can compare the slightest difference between the front and rear bedroom scenes in your brain every minute...

Wu Sheng: "The fourth one in the second row on the red shelf."

The brain is moving!

Captain Xu led two teammates, and rushed to the red shelf together, hurriedly took out the white princess dress doll hidden behind the two prom dolls, with only a little skirt showing, and looked at his military adviser expectantly: "This? "

Wu Sheng nodded: "Yes."

Xiaobai: "Bingo! The answer is correct!"

The opponent's face was blank, and his eight eyes were filled with "Who are you, wait a moment, what are you doing..."

"No, did you guys collude? You guys are too fake——"

In this way, the four of them disappeared slowly with doubts about the world, and with hoarse shouts, they flew to the entrance of the far-away maze together - they failed to fight against the NPC, and either died directly in the battle and went home, or surrendered, or were judged to have failed by the NPC , go back to the starting point of the maze, and start all over again.

The doll's bedroom disappeared in an instant.

Xu Wang and the others returned to the corner of the maze, or they were here from the beginning to the end, but the NPC created an illusion for them.

Xiaobai is still the girl in the princess dress with the new umbrella, but she no longer obstructs her, but removes the ivy wall neatly to make way for them, and waved her hands with a smile: "Left-right-right-left- Right—remember to come back to play with Xiaobai often.”

Xu Wang was stunned: "Aren't you going to fight us?"

The girl tilted her head, her eyes were full of loveliness and innocence: "You guys have played games with Xiaobai, and you are now Xiaobai's friends, why are you still fighting?"

Wu Sheng: "Since we are friends, please accept this little gift."

Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Xu Wang: "How many copies did you print!!!"
