In the dry well, there were mutated ironwood materials doused with oil. As the torch fell, the wood lit up with a bang, and black fumes were released.
The few Mutated Corpses villagers did not mind that it was an empty well at all and jumped into it.
“We did it, now put the water in!”
Chen Bing was looking anxiously at a corner. If those corpses did not jump into the well, he would have to run for his dear life.
Beside the well, there was a ditch dug by Old Bard which was connected to a nearby lake.
The ditch was almost connected to the well. As the Mutated Corpses jumped into the well, he immediately dug with full force, and the clear water surged into the well.
Chen Bing walked to the side of the well and peered in slowly.
The few Mutated Corpses were screaming and shouting after the water had been poured in as if wanting to get out of the pit.
However, the dry well was more than ten meters tall, and the spots that could be climbed on were repaired by Old Bard. Furthermore, the sides of the wall were oily, so there was no way they could climb out of the well.
“Can water really drown them?”
Old Bard walked over and frowned, then he asked this.
“Of course!” Chen Bing nodded.
Old Bard could not burn them with fire, which meant that they had high resistance towards the fire, and they had amazing regeneration powers.
However, they were just Level 10 or more monsters, not Ultimate BOSSes of the later stage, so there was no way that water could not work. If they had so many good qualities already, their other attributes must be somewhat common.
If the water could not drown them, Chen Bing still had another way.
Using poison!
If they could not be drowned, he would pour the remaining rat poison into the well. It would be impossible for them not to die!
It was an idea he thought of along the way when he found Old Bard. However, he did not know about the empty well at first, and he initially wanted Old Bard to help him dig a hole within an hour or two.
Even though players could do that too, it would be slow, and the terrain would be repaired by the system, and the hole would not have lasted for long.
However, Old Bard was an NPC, and the hole he dug would stay there forever.
This was why Chen Bing needed Old Bard’s help.
Now that there was an empty well that could be used, Old Bard did not have to dig the hole anymore. As long as the empty well was filled, and the walls of the wall were smoothened so that the Mutated Corpses would not be able to come out, it could be used.
The few Mutated Corpses did not know how to swim, and they struggled around in the well. At times they even sank to the bottom of the well, and damage was heavily inflicted on them.
Soon, the few corpses lost their lives and floated on the water, motionless.
“They really died,” Old Bard said in disbelief.
In his consciousness, he believed that fire was best for countering monsters and beasts. Under the condition that these creatures could not be killed by fire, he dared not release the Mutated Corpses.
It’s a pity that I don’t have enough Evolution Energy, or else I could devour a Mutated Corpse, and my attributes would definitely increase by a ton.
At the same time, when leveling up from 9 to 10, my body will evolve once. If I devour a strong corpse, I will get a great skill.
Old Bard did not know that Chen Bing was thinking about that as he looked at the corpses.
However, Chen Bing thought about it and he realized that he could not devour the corpses even though he had enough Evolution Energy points.
These corpses were bodies of villagers, and Old Bard needed to return them to the village and inform the villagers about the situation, so it could not be devoured.
“Drag them up,” Old Bard said with a sigh.
They were really dead, and it was time for him to announce the incident he had been hiding for so long.
With a rope, lifting the corpses was not much of a problem.
After lifting them up and placing them on the ground lined up, Old Bard returned to the bottom of the well and opened it up.
There was not much water in the well, and after flowing to the underground tunnel, the water disappeared quickly.
Chen Bing and Old Bard got out of the well.
In the orchard, a black crow stood on the tip of the tree. It had been there for a long time, looking at the events that happened below.
After Chen Bing and Old Bard left, the black crow flew down and nibbled a piece of skin from the villager’s corpse. With a plop sound, it flew in the direction of another island.
Chen Bing and Old Bard had left the orchard. Not long after they left, a young player appeared, and the player was walking towards Old Bard’s house.
The player had an expression of confidence. Upon closer examination, he had a full set of gear, even when the other players rarely even had a piece of gear.
Big-Tailed Wolf: “Cutie Wolf, how’s your mission? I have good news on my side! It’s perfect, ah, I might faint seeing how cool I am! Just that there are no girls by my side, and nobody is here to admire my beautiful body, or they too would be captivated by my charm!”
“Call me Killer Wolf!” Killer Wolf was angered, and veins appeared on its forehead.
He initially was in a good mood, but he had to complete an extremely tough sniper mission. It was also the main assessment for him to be able to enter “Wolf Pack.”
Completing the assessment along with him was another guy named “Big-Tailed Wolf.”
They had different missions, and there was no direct competition.
However, Killer Wolf did not like Big-Tailed Wolf.
The name “Killer Wolf” was nice-sounding and it even had a character of its own. However, that rascal ruined his name and called him Cutie Wolf, and it angered Killer Wolf every time he heard that.
Big-Tailed Wolf would never accept his challenge to fight, running without any shame as he saw Killer Wolf getting angry. Both of them were still probationary members of “Wolf Gang”, so he could not even block him even if he wanted.
“Alright, got it, Cutie Wolf. I say, Cutie Wolf, you’d better be careful. “Lady of Vengeance’s Tyranny” is a very rare item. If your mission fails, forget about becoming an official member for the time being.”
F*ck! I’m gonna kill him one day when I have the chance!
Killer Wolf felt like he was unable to tolerate that guy anymore. After the mission ends, even if it means causing discord among them, he had to kill Big-Tailed Wolf once, and let him know his true power!
However, Killer Wolf’s anger dissipated all of a sudden.
He arrived at Old Bard’s house.
Old Bard was not there.
Killer Wolf felt that something was not right.
He moved and looked in the direction where the Mutated Bear appeared.
“This cannot be!”
He could not find the Mutated Bear, so Killer Wolf went to the place of the Mutated Trees.
“No! Someone’s ahead of us!”
Killer Wolf’s heart immediately sank!
…
Real-life, Hotel Yunjing, Level 38.
“2 hours had passed in “Evolution Island”, which equates to about a minute in real life.”
While Yang Yao laughed while replying to Yun Shuang that the mission was impossible, Yun Shuang’s phone rang.
Yun Shuang answered the phone, and looked at Yang Yao while talking, finishing the conversation.
“No way, your boss called you in such a short moment?”
“No, the boss said that she received some news: the people in ‘Wolf Gang’ used ‘Lady of Vengeance’s Tyranny’ to enter ‘Evolution Island.’ Their target might be your invader mission!” Yun Shuang shook her head.
Bzzzzz…
As she was talking, an urgent-sounding alarm started ringing!
