Chapter 296: Accommodating New Prey, Very Strong

Chapter 296: "Accepting" new prey, very strong

After hearing this, the tiger half-orc split his lips, blood flowed out from his teeth, and gave Jiang Qian an incredible smile.

Then he leaned back and fell into the pool of blood of the prey he had just devoured.

Jiang Qian looked at the tiger half-orc indifferently: "Well, actually I don't want to hear your answer."

He simply did it himself, stripped the other party's clothes cleanly and neatly, and looked for suspicious clues.

There is little point in interrogating in the copy, because the other party's betting situation is uncertain, and no real death threat can be imposed; and because it may not be possible to kill the other party directly, it will also lead to new troubles in reality.

Jiang Qian has a way to directly kill any player he meets in the copy, using a children's water gun.

But because there is only one chance and resources are precious, he is not in a hurry to waste them on this insignificant little character at the moment.

After a busy while, a doll on Jiang Qian's body began to flash warning again.

He then stopped, wiped his bloody hands with the clothes of the tiger half-orc, showed his fangs, and gave the opponent a fatal blow.

Then, the tiger half-orc's body gradually became transparent, and finally turned into a ray of light and shadow, which flew in the air and fell into the doll on his waist.

Jiang Qian clearly felt that the weight on his waist had increased a little.

Of course, it was not only the weight that increased, but also the "number" of dolls.

At the same time, the main task update prompt came:

[Main task (3/25): Please follow the guidance of the doll (collection container) to find the location of the corresponding "trophy", and complete the collection of the trophy by "beating" or "killing" the opponent. 】

[Hint: Loot experience +10%, +10%, +20%]

[Accumulated experience: 40%]

…

The main quest was adjusted from (0/23) to (3/25)

The three experience points gained were from: the rabbit ear holder whose container was broken at the beginning, the bird holder, and the tiger holder himself.

Now the facts are clear enough. The first two died under the claws of the tiger holder. Therefore, after Jiang Qian killed the tiger holder, this part of the performance was counted on his head.

And the last double 20% experience blessing was the credit of Jiang Qian and the tiger holder.

The two sides who chose to take in each other as loot will get double experience bonus after one of them takes in the other.

Jiang Qian was very satisfied that he could get such benefits after a short period of watching and fighting.

But he didn't plan to continue to consume himself.

The invisibility cloak took effect immediately, and Jiang Qian disappeared calmly, leaving only fresh blood on the ground.

There is no concept of time in the "containment" dungeon. It is essentially a war of attrition.

Hidden Rule 4:

The dungeon will not end if one of the remaining containment players can still attack any of the other parties.

This rule is not only Ji Ming's summary, but also the same conclusion as Jiang Qian's reasoning based on the existing rules.

In other words, the dungeon will not end if there is room for advancement in any player's main task.

Players cannot change tasks. They can only continuously perform "containment" actions to make the main task more complete.

Just like Jiang Qian now, the "denominator" of the main task has decreased and increased, but the performance of the "numerator" part is always positively correlated with the number of containments completed by the player.

When his remaining two containers are destroyed and the numerator and denominator of his main task are equal, then his "containment" task will be settled.

Jiang Qian's current main task progress is: 3/25.

It seems that there is still a long way to go, but according to Jiang Qian's deduction of the operation rules of this dungeon, the "containment" and "performance" will gradually be concentrated on a few people.

Jiang Qian didn't need to kill or subdue 22 players to complete the containment mission.

He only needed to find the best players and then harvest their containment results.

Of course, choosing this path meant that he would face one or more of the strongest players in this "containment" copy and subdue or kill them.

This was a very dangerous and difficult challenge.

...

At the moment, Jiang Qian, who was hidden in the bloody space, paid close attention to the movements around him and waited for the spoils to come.

The scene was quiet at this time.

Only the bloody smell was evaporating, and the bloodstains left by the dead were gradually solidifying.

Because the invisibility cloak covered the warning prompts from the container, Jiang Qian was not sure whether the player who was approaching the warning had gone astray or had not yet arrived.

Or, the other party had already arrived...

No signs of life were found within the range of spiritual vision.

Jiang Qian wore the invisibility cloak and stood against the wall.

He was very sure that there was no trace of blood on the soles of his shoes, and he would not give the other party a glimpse of his hiding place.

Until a chill suddenly invaded his perception.

Close to the scalp, approaching slowly and cautiously...

Jiang Qian held his breath and stared, and there was still nothing unusual in the 360-degree spiritual vision.

Until a drop of condensed liquid dripped on his head!

Jiang Qian did not move at all, feeling the drop of liquid sliding down from his forehead, flowing along the side of his nose to his lips.

He opened his mouth slightly and licked the liquid with the tip of his tongue to distinguish the content.

It was sweat.

Jiang Qian looked up calmly and looked at the top of his head...

It was a man in tights and a headscarf, with his back to Jiang Qian, and his limbs clinging to the top wall, crawling forward slowly.

Because the other party used camouflage technology, Jiang Qian could only see the general outline, but could not distinguish his true appearance and the specific color of his clothes.

He was a cardholder with an identity card similar to that of a lizard, who could avoid tracking by controlling his body temperature and creating visual camouflage. He was probably an old cunning guy who attacked people by surprise... Jiang Qian looked up from bottom to top, silently looking at the buddy crawling over his head, and followed him quietly.

This was his prey.

The path ahead was nothing new, it was nothing more than a choice of forks, and a long corridor that went from narrow to wide and then from wide to narrow.

The headscarf man climbed for a long time and finally had a little hesitation.

He stopped.

Jiang Qian secretly speculated on the other party's mental activities: Huh? What's going on? The target has been flashing for so long and there is no shadow?

Of course, it could also be: Fuck, I'm not being tracked in reverse? !

Or maybe the other party didn't have his doll at all, and his path and stop were just due to other coincidences.

In any case, the camouflage ability and props will block or weaken the warning signal of the "container".

If the turban man wants to determine the current warning status to adjust the strategy, he needs to remove the camouflage and watch the warning of the container.

He hesitated for a moment and did not take action.

But Jiang Qian already understood his intention.

Not far away, another life form was groping towards the vicinity, and the speed was not slow.

Jiang Qian immediately made a reasonable guess: the other party was coming for him or the turban man, with a clear goal and quite confident in his own strength, so he approached here at a fast speed and without concealment!

The turban man was also ready to go, as if he regarded the target coming from the opposite side as the first target to be tracked.

Then, a hedgehog that had run away from the reins appeared from the corner, and it flicked its tail and pounced in the direction of Jiang Qian!

What a ferocious hedgehog... Jiang Qian hid under the invisibility cloak, confident that he had not been exposed, so he just nimbly dodged and tried to miss the hedgehog that didn't recognize any relatives.

However, just when they were about to cross paths, the lizard turban man who had always been clinging to Jiang Qian's head made a move.

A transparent tongue, like a falling missile, pounced on the hedgehog straight up and down!

Jiang Qian instantly used the snake shadow stealth and retreated quickly, barely avoiding the sweep of sticky saliva, retreating to the side and watching the hedgehog being gradually wrapped by the huge and thick tongue tip, wrapped tightly...

In the transparent tongue, you can see the dynamic effect of the hedgehog struggling frantically and gradually suffocating.

Afterwards, the tongue wrapped around the stopped struggling hedgehog and was taken into the mouth of the turban man, and then the chewing sound was crisp and pleasant to the ears.

From the appearance of the hedgehog, to the lightning attack of the lizard turban man, to the suffocating hedgehog being swallowed, it took no more than a minute.

But Jiang Qian knew that the battle was not over yet.

The lizard turban man, who was still lying on the top wall, suddenly stopped chewing. With a scream, countless long thorns pierced out of his face, throat, and back of his head, and blood splashed!

The lizard turban man's disguise faded, revealing the avant-garde dress of a fashionable man and a head full of holes...

The hedgehog he chewed revealed its original appearance, a physical bomb prop with camouflage function.

"Impossible..."

The turban man seemed unwilling to believe that he would fall in the field he was best at.

He ignored the large and small wounds on his head, pulled out his double halberds and chopped the "hedgehog" into pieces in an instant!

While he was venting his anger, countless tiny poisonous thorns shot from the direction where the hedgehog was running. The lizard turban man quickly jumped up, climbed the side wall and dodged the dark light on the plane vertical or flipped on the ground, as if walking on flat ground.

Jiang Qian secretly performed snake shadow stealth.

While avoiding risks, he operated the Beidou button camera to record the battle process with the opponent in the same copy.

Since the stinger was not targeting him, Jiang Qian's exercise volume was much lower than that of the lizard turban man.

The bomb props, plus a wave of stinger sneak attacks, made the lizard turban man obviously embarrassed.

He hung upside down on the top wall, panting and staring at the direction of the dark stimulus, with a look of resentment in his eyes.

Oops, a taboo in battle, this guy has lost his composure... Jiang Qian commented secretly.

Sure enough, the fatal blow did not come from the direction he was staring at, but from the direction they came from, from behind the lizard turban man.

A high-speed thorn ball hit the back of the lizard turban man at lightning speed!

And with the help of inertia, the stinger was sent into his internal organs, completing the fatal blow.

Then, the thorn ball and the lizard turban man who was hit fell to the ground together.

One could not get up after falling down, and the other appeared as a stinky-faced young man with fireworks perm and street stall goods after landing.

"Hey, admit defeat. You can't enter the finals with your level."

The young man with fireworks stepped forward and kicked the lizard turban man's head, crushing it and said:

"To enter the S-level copy, at least you have enough crystals, right?"

"You little devil... ah!"

The lizard turban man stretched out his hand to grab the other's foot, but the poisonous thorns that suddenly protruded from the other's foot pierced his palm!

Not only that, the deadly toxins of the thorns had already penetrated into his lungs through multiple wounds. The lizard turban man was already at the end of his strength, and his breath quickly weakened: "Damn..."

"You are so stubborn, uncle."

The fireworks tilted his head, and his smile was a little evil.

He took out a modified cool pistol from his jacket pocket, broke off a stinger from his body, stuffed it into the barrel, and aimed at the lizard turban man's head.

With a muffled "bang", the lizard turban man's head sunk into the ground and was completely motionless.

Fireworks and Tang rubbed his head, kicked the corpse with regret, and walked towards a fork in the road after the collection was completed.

Jiang Qian watched everything happen until it ended.

Obviously, Fireworks and Tang inherited the "performance" of the lizard turban man. Although there was no doll similar to Jiang Qian in the collection container of the two.

In the end, Jiang Qian silently followed Fireworks and Tang to ensure that the prey was always within his sight.

...

The movable space of the "containment" copy is quite amazing.

And hiding, tracking, and reconnaissance are all the most skilled applications of Jiang Qian's existing skills.

He always followed the Fireworks and Tang youth not far away, waiting for new opportunities and new prey to appear.

Jiang Qian discovered that although Fireworks Tang looked extremely unreliable, he was no less cautious and insidious than any old fox.

He was used to using props to lure the enemy into action, and then adjusted the enemy strategy in a targeted manner.

Like the brilliant performance of the lizard turban man who attacked in the opposite direction and won with a surprise move, there were similar remarkable operations in the next two containment experiences, which gave Jiang Qian a lot of inspiration.

Jiang Qian was completely invisible on the battlefield, but he observed and analyzed the combat skills and pros and cons more attentively than the two sides of the battle, which was quite fulfilling.

During this process, he received three reminders of the update of the "main task".

Each time, the task denominator "-1" changed, which meant that 3 of the loot containers he held had been automatically scrapped. This means that these 3 players have been contained and the extra containers are no longer useful.

The current progress of Jiang Qian's main task is: (3/22)

The actual performance of the numerator is not affected by external factors, unless Jiang Qian is contained by others, the performance can be transferred.

"Eh? How come I seem to be back here again..." When passing a fork in the road for the third time, Fireworks Hot rubbed his head that was swollen due to his hairstyle and muttered to himself.

Because you habitually turn left at the fork in the road, you have been circling in this circular area for a long time... Fireworks Hot is good at fighting, but his memory seems to be not online, which makes Jiang Qian feel powerless to complain.

"I always wander around in this area and can't meet any fresh prey..."

Fireworks Hot was very upset.

Jiang Qian hugged his shoulders and leaned against the wall ten meters away from the other party, looking down at the resentful student with a condescending attitude.

Considering whether to harvest the other party now and find a prey that is not so bad at finding a way to continue to release...

He didn't think for too long.

The fangs stretched out under the invisibility cloak.

The other party was a poisonous hedgehog, just enough to add a meal.

However, at this moment, the red light on the waist of the Fireworks Hot young man flashed, issuing a warning!

"Eh?"

There is a new prey nearby.

The fangs quietly gathered, and Jiang Qian continued to wait and see.

Fireworks Hot quickly grabbed a handful of debris from the locker and threw it into the air!

He grabbed another blanket and leaned against the wall to cover his body.

Then, the blanket naturally blended into the texture and color of the wall, hiding Fireworks Hot perfectly.

After a while, footsteps approached.

A short, fat but burly man came from afar.

He had a simple face, was wearing armor, and held two butterfly double knives in both hands, and approached in a big way.

Jiang Qian looked at the other person's walking posture and details around him, and his eyes moved slightly.

This person looked simple and stupid, as if he had no defense, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the other person's seemingly casual walking posture and gait actually hides every action and has no flaws.

No matter where the enemy appears or attacks from, it will not cause too much burden to him.

This is a martial arts master! Unlike ordinary guerrillas, every detail of his body is brewing the energy of fighting, and his seemingly relaxed and casual movements are showing his defense control without blind spots... Jiang Qian is paying attention to the dynamics of both sides at the same time, predicting who will win this battle.

Smart Fireworks Hot did not let the situation stalemate for too long.

In the dead white space, the short and fat man with the butterfly knife suddenly stopped and stood calmly in the original place.

The ground began to crack and shake.

The butterfly knife turned sideways flexibly and avoided the spikes that broke out of the ground under his feet!

Then, countless spikes followed the figure of the butterfly knife and rushed out of the ground, sending their tips to the vital points of the butterfly knife!

However, none of them stabbed.

Although the butterfly knife has an ordinary body, in terms of agility and forward momentum, it is not inferior to large cat predators.

The spikes that emerged from the ground were either cut off by the butterfly knife, or they could not touch the corners of the butterfly knife's clothes at all. The carpet attack was useless and was easily penetrated by the butterfly knife!

Then, Jiang Qian saw Butterfly Knife looking around for a moment, his nose twitching slightly, and a smile in the corner of his eyes.

The other party's sight turned and stopped at the place where Fireworks was hiding.

It seems that he relied on his sense of smell... Jiang Qian continued to watch the changes.

In the interval between blinks, Butterfly Knife rushed towards Fireworks' hiding place!

In the flash of the knife, the thorn ball spun at high speed and broke through the air, falling into the area of ​​​​the jagged teeth, revealing its body.

Jiang Qian saw from a distance that blood was dripping under the feet of the Fireworks youth...

He was stabbed.

In the 360-degree vision without blind spots, Jiang Qian saw that the knife wounds on Fireworks were all on the chest and abdomen, with the skin and flesh rolled up and cut very deep.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that the other party was not easy to deal with, the young man Fireworks, who spoke very arrogantly, also changed to honorifics.

But Butterfly Knife was disdainful of wasting words with the other party, and rushed forward with a sneer!

Fireworks was furious and fought with all his strength.

But the butterfly knife in the short and fat man's hand was as cunning and vicious as if it was possessed by the devil, and it specialized in the position where Fireworks could not grow stings!

Even if Fireworks turned from offense to defense, his defense was still mostly in vain and he was powerless to save the situation.

Looking at Fireworks, who was covered in blood, Jiang Qian felt a certain desire flowing in his body...

The edge flashed, blood foam flew, and every move was fatal, and the stings were all broken.

After the dazzling knife light, the front of Fireworks was already a bloody mess.

"Good knife skills..."

This was the last words of Fireworks before he fell to the ground.

Even at this point, the short and fat man holding the butterfly knife did not intend to communicate with him any more.

I don’t know whether it comes from the pride of a master, or he is focused on the task and has no distractions.

When the fireworks were taken in, Jiang Qian also heard the reminder of the main task update.

Undoubtedly, the "denominator" was reduced again.

But it doesn’t matter, Jiang Qian has no regrets about it.

The performance is just temporarily stored with the prey, which is part of his free-range hunting plan.

But...

The new prey is very strong.

At this moment, the butterfly knife’s eyes condensed and looked at the place where Jiang Qian was hiding.
