Chapter 968 Sleeping Beauty 1

——Season, about early autumn.

The surrounding scenery is half green and half yellow, showing the desolation of autumn, and the air is fresh, dry and cold.

Countless thorns and vines grow along the city wall, densely packed, showing mottled colors like rust in the sun.

Tanxia reached out and picked at the rough and hard outer skin of the plant. It was really hard and prickly. It was almost impossible to climb out along the vines.

After he walked into the beam, he arrived here not long after, and then two pieces of information automatically appeared in his mind:

[Task: Retrieve the king's sword. 】

[Rule: No killing. 】

Of course Tanxiao knew he was looking for a sword, but the place was so big, where could he find it? Where are the others?

He looked around. It looked like an abandoned castle, with vast gardens and towering towers. Part of the road was occupied by thorny vines. Originally, he wanted to climb to a higher place to get a better view, but the thorns pricked here and there. , like a hedgehog, he couldn't move.

We chatted and laughed, scratched our hair, walked to the overgrown flower bed and sat down, somewhat idle.

In the past, when entering the game, either Shen Mo led the team or Bai Youwei commanded. Everything was clearly arranged about what should be done and what should not be done. But now that no one has arranged it for him, he is really... confused.

He took out a wrinkled piece of chewing gum from his trouser pocket, removed the wrapping paper, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

After chewing for a while and blowing bubbles, I suddenly heard a thumping chopping sound.

Tanxiao quickly stood up and looked around, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a woolen hat not far away, using a sword to chop down the thorny vines on the road!

Although he was not a teammate, seeing a living person was enough to excite him. He chatted and laughed and ran over to say hello: "Hey!——"

The man in the hat suddenly became nervous!

Almost subconsciously, he raised the sword in his hand. Finally, probably remembering the rules of the game, he slowly put the sword down.

The man in the hat asked with hostility: "What's the matter?"

"Where did you get the sword?" He asked him in a familiar manner without being polite at all, "Isn't it allowed to bring weapons in the game?"

The other party didn't want to pay attention to him at all and continued to chop the vines.

Tan Xiao said to the side: "You brought weapons in privately, I want to report you! This is cheating!"

The man in the hat was speechless for a while, and shouted angrily: "Didn't you see that this is a castle?! Go around by yourself and take the swords from those soldiers!"

Tan Xiao was stunned for a moment.

He did see a few dead soldiers just now. Some were wrapped in vines, with only half of their heads or arms exposed, as if they were integrated with the plants.

However, the rules of the game cannot kill anyone anyway, so it doesn’t matter whether he has a weapon or not.

The thought of talking and joking returned to the man in the hat in front of him.

"Hey, man, why are you cutting down the vines?"

The opponent raised his sword and slashed it down again, impatiently saying: "Do you care? We are not in the same team, so don't get close here! Get out of here!"

Tan smiled and his face darkened, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Hey, be polite when you speak!"

"Crazy!" The man in the hat retracted his sword, turned around and walked away, looking for clues elsewhere.

The vines he chopped opened up with knife marks, and translucent brown-green juice overflowed from them. Within a moment, they healed like living things.

Tanxiao almost dropped his jaw, and hurriedly caught up with the hat man in front of him, "Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Did you see that all the cut vines have healed! Holy shit, is this a tree spirit?!"

The man in the hat said irritably: "It's just because I thought there was something wrong with these plants, so I tried to chop them down! Don't follow me!"

"Am I following you? I'm spying on you!" Tan Xiao said confidently, "What if there are clues hidden by you?! I tell you, don't try to play tricks under Brother Xiao's nose!"

The man in the hat cursed in a low voice, not wanting to waste time talking and laughing, and continued walking deeper into the castle.
