Chapter 261 Going to Find Fireflies
"Little Crow, remember to use Shadow Shuttle."
"it is good!"
Little Crow received Lu Youyou's order to use Shadow Shuttle to randomly travel through random spaces.
Every time Lu Youyou traveled to a new place, she would release a mechanical spider carrying paralysis bullets.
Whether it was because the dosage of the paralyzing bullets was too high, or because the Stone King was too exhausted to resist, his movements gradually became sluggish.
"Little Crow, release the arrow."
"it is good."
The Stone King was so angry that he pounded the ground.
If you grab the mechanical spider on your body, you can't defend against the arrows fired from the sky.
But if he only focuses on defending himself, the spiders will continuously send paralyzing bullets at him.
"what--"
The Stone King let out an angry roar.
He continued to hurl stones at himself, launching an even more ferocious attack than before.
Completely ignoring the mechanical spiders crawling on his body, he was focused on using all his strength to knock Xiao Ya and Lu Youyou off.
It's now!
Lu Youyou released the mechanical spider, which carried the Exploding Pearl and climbed onto the Stone King.
In order to distract the Stone King from the mechanical spider, Lu Youyou, together with Xiao Ya, launched a continuous attack from the sky.
The mechanical spider climbed step by step, passing its calves, knees, thighs, and belly...
"Ok?"
The Stone King asked in confusion, releasing a stone shield in front of him, and suddenly began to catch the spiders on his body.
He crushed spiders carrying paralysis bombs, and with each one he crushed, his body's reaction slowed down a little.
hurry up! Hurry up!
Lu Youyou prayed in her heart that the mechanical spider carrying the exploding beads would be safe and sound.
It's already up to the neck; any higher and it'll burrow into the eye and explode!
As if sensing something, the Stone King pinched his neck with two fingers as thick as a grown woman's wrist.
"Click."
The mechanical spider was crushed, and Lu Youyou closed her eyes in despair.
She opened her eyes again when she didn't hear the explosion sound that belonged to the bouncy beads.
It turned out that she had misread the image and hadn't noticed that there were other mechanical spiders hidden in the area obscured by her fingers.
Meanwhile, the spider carrying the exploding bead had already reached the Stone King's nostril.
The Stone King smelled a scent different from the paralysis bullet and finally realized something was wrong, so he immediately tried to catch the spider.
Paralyzed by too many paralyzing bullets, even though he wasn't immobilized, his movements were still slower compared to the mechanical spider.
He could only watch helplessly as the mechanical spider climbed onto his stone eyeballs and detonated them.
"boom!"
"Boom~"
A small hill not far away exploded from the inside, sending rocks flying everywhere.
Lu Youyou and Xiao Ya were enveloped in a dark green spherical shield, which blocked the flying stones.
The thick dust settled, revealing the supplies described in the virtual manuals scattered all over the ground.
[Stone King Fragment - Small: A good material for the Stone Golem family to make shields.]
[Stone King Fragments - Burned: A Good Material for Making Thermal Insulation Stone.]
【…】
Lu Youyou put all the stones into her backpack, both to clear the road and to collect her spoils.
Suddenly, a strangely shaped stone caught her attention.
[The Stone King's Heart - Petrified: A petrified heart, a good material for forging weapons.]
Upon seeing this introduction, Lu Youyou remembered the bamboo girl who had been sucked into the Stone King's body—she was dead.
What about my own task?
Lu Youyou opened her watch and found a new "Submit Task" button on the task list on the main screen.
Clicking that button caused the Bamboo Maiden to suddenly appear unharmed.
"Where is the Stone King's heart?" the Bamboo Girl asked.
Lu Youyou handed the strangely shaped stone to the Bamboo Girl, watching as she swallowed her heart, her flesh and the stone appearing alternately.
It then stabilized as before, delicate and fragile.
"You... weren't you dragged into this?" Lu Youyou couldn't help but raise her voice.
She clearly saw the stone man pull her into his body and then be crushed and flattened by the other fused stones.
The bamboo maiden smiled gently.
"I was dead just now, but you completed my mission and resurrected me."
"But I didn't do anything."
"No, you did it. As long as the survivor completes the task and clicks submit, the publisher will appear safely in front of the survivor regardless of their status."
Lu Youyou thought of the Stone King, whom she had blown to pieces.
Will the Stone King also be resurrected?
Bamboo Girl gave an unnatural smile: "Of course he will, but he can't be called the Stone King anymore. I absorbed his power, and I will repay him for everything he did to me before."
Suddenly, grief appeared on her face.
"Today we die, tomorrow we live, and we continue to be killed by other survivors, endlessly. We are atoning for our sins..."
"Can't it?"
"No."
As if knowing what Lu Youyou wanted to ask, the bamboo maiden interrupted her and sternly refused.
"If you want to know the deeper secrets, ask the adults, not us. The remaining 150 catties of fresh bamboo shoots are already yours. As for the score... the task was completed excellently, so I will give you a high score."
Lu Youyou stared at her intently, realizing that she wouldn't be able to get any information from the Bamboo Girl, so she deactivated the vehicle's shrinking state ahead of schedule.
Just as she was about to get on the bus, Zhu Nu suddenly called her to stop.
"The road is long and winding!"
Lu Youyou turned her head, and the slender bamboo girl gradually expanded horizontally, turning into a stone shape from her feet upwards.
"Go find Firefly, she has a task for you!"
With a snap, the Firefly GPS card was tossed to Lu Youyou's feet.
The bamboo maiden has transformed into a new mountain, situated by the roadside.
Lu Youyou picked up the card, hesitated for a moment, and then used it.
Since she didn't know where to get new missions anyway, she might as well go to Firefly's place.
If you encounter a better task along the way, you can accept it; if you don't, at least you'll have a destination.
The fireflies are quite far from here; it will take at least an hour.
Lu Youyou went to the bathroom to take a shower, washing away her fatigue, and then lay on the bed to read the messages posted by everyone on the public chat.
She needs to know the progress of other people taking on the tasks.
[Wei Ning defends his own peace: I just realized my missions are ridiculously easy to complete. One asked me to cook, another asked me to teach her to cook, and yet another asked me to teach her to ride a bike. These monsters are surprisingly relatable.]
[Shenjin isn't crazy: Am I the only one still wandering the road without receiving a single mission?]
[Zhao Zhao: I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like the quests I accept have a certain continuity. Some NPCs seem to be pushing me towards a certain goal, but I can't quite put my finger on it.]
[￥%￥: Be careful upstairs, those NPCs can resurrect. What if they kill you if you fail to complete the quest?]
[Zhao Zhao: Having survived this long, my mindset has changed. Not all monsters are bad, and not all humans are good. I haven't sensed any malice from them towards me.]
[Red Butterfly: Is the person upstairs a saint or a naive fool? They're doomed.]
【…】
Lu Youyou was engrossed in watching, and time flew by.
Suddenly, the car braked sharply.
[An NPC with fireflies blocking the way; vehicles must not run over the NPC.]
