Chapter 333: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
Inside the house, before Lin Chen could say anything, Duan Qi spoke first and recounted the details of what he had guessed.
Although her opinion was basically the same as Lin Chen's, she made it more logical and raised several key points again.
"These alone are definitely not enough to meet the mission requirements of the thriller game. We still need to find out a few things."
"First, what does the village chief Li Fu represent? If he is just a leader who wants to borrow food from Li Baotian because he is hungry, then his danger level will not be too high, and Li Baotian will not take the initiative to mention him."
"Second, what exactly the final conflict was. Even if the villagers came to attack us together, we still don't know what happened to Li Baotian and his wife. Once these two points are clear, we can leave the instance."
Duan Qi was summarizing. She was quick-witted and got to the point right away, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.
I have to say that it is an incredibly smooth start to be able to sort out the threads to this extent in just over a day.
"My sister is right. I think so too. Next, we need to give the little ghost food again, and the village chief should show up." Duan Jibo nodded and asked:
"But now we have a problem of our own, that is, how much hotness do you still have in you, Chen boy..."
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the yard, as if there was a fight, which directly interrupted Duan Jibo's words.
The three of them looked out through the window and immediately saw several figures holding weapons and fighting with the two ghostly farm tools, the iron rake and the hammer, in the yard.
Those figures were quite powerful. As soon as the battle started, they beat the iron rakes and hammers back .
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi were both startled when they saw those figures.
However, Lin Chen's expression darkened immediately and he sneered:
"court death!"
After saying that, he took big steps and walked out of the room.
Seeing this, Duan Jibo and Duan Qi naturally followed closely.
As soon as he walked out of the door, the fighting outside the yard stopped on the spot.
The source was not the native ghosts in the copy, but nine players.
They are the three teams of Wang Zihao, Xu Linhao and Wu Yawen.
At this time, they were all holding different farm tools and ghost weapons, and it was obvious that they were all ghosts found in this village.
In more than a day, Lin Chen discovered many secrets, so they were naturally not idle either.
Each of them found a weapon that suits them, and Wang Zihao, who was in the middle, found a machete from somewhere. The aura he exuded looked very powerful, like the king among farm tool ghosts.
The two ghost farm tools on Lin Chen's side broke into pieces on the ground the moment Lin Chen went out.
The ghost has lost all its power and has completely turned into an ordinary farm tool.
Seeing this, Lin Chen's eyes became completely cold and stern on the spot.
"God Li..."
“God Li, we came here to discuss cooperation with you, but these two ghosts stopped us, and we subconsciously.”
As soon as everyone saw Lin Chen coming out, they all forced a smile and said.
"Master Li, I'm sorry. This is my first time using a machete, and I can't control the strength very well." Wang Zihao had an embarrassed look on his face, but his eyes were calm, without any hint of guilt.
Lin Chen bent down, picked up the broken iron rake and hammer, and looked at them in his hands.
Duan Qi looked at the people in front of her with a frown on her face. She was very dissatisfied with their attitude of breaking in.
Even Duan Jiebo shook his head. He knew that this group of people might not have an easy time.
Although those two farm tools were ghosts, they had some intelligence. He could see that Lin Chen liked them more. Now that they were broken by these people, with Lin Chen's temper, this matter would definitely not end well.
But he didn't say anything. At this time, he had completely straightened his attitude and just stood behind Lin Chen as a bystander.
At this time, Lin Chen finally stood up, glanced at the nine people in front of him, raised the broken hammer and iron rake in his hands, and slowly said:
"Who did it?"
The voice was extremely cold, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger, which made everyone's face change.
But soon, Wang Zihao, holding the machete, returned to normal.
In fact, these two ghosts belonged to him personally, and he did this on purpose.
Lin Chen is indeed too strong.
But they are also quite numerous, all of whom are at the middle and high levels. They believe that if they unite, they are a powerful force, so they deliberately give Lin Chen a warning in order to test Lin Chen.
After all, they have a lot of food in their hands, so they can easily control Lin Chen.
Food is their lifeblood!
He laughed, as if trying to ease the cold atmosphere, and said, "In fact, we wanted to go in and discuss things with you, but we were ambushed by these two ghosts. Well, anyway, since it's broken, it must be our fault. We will compensate you."
"Yes, we will give you a pair of stronger ones than these two. It was wrong for us to offend you. Lord Li is very magnanimous. Please forgive me." Xu Linhao laughed. As one of the three captains, he could still understand Xu Linhao's thoughts and quickly tried to smooth things over.
Moreover, he did not mention the food, intending to use it as a bargaining chip in subsequent negotiations.
"We came here to consult you for some clues. We could have offered you food in exchange, but these two ghosts attacked us... God Li, you won't be angry with us because of two dead things, will you?" Wu Yawen looked aggrieved and shook her head while speaking, putting herself and Lin Chen in the same camp, and implicitly expressing that if she took it seriously, Lin Chen would be considered narrow-minded.
She deliberately said this to divert the issue, trying to cover up the fact that she and her group had forced their way in.
The three of them spoke flawlessly. As four-star players, their acting skills were first-rate, so the attitudes they displayed were all just right.
However, Lin Chen seemed to have heard nothing. After they finished speaking, he asked again:
"I said, who did it?"
Wang Zihao sighed, then took out two ghost farm tools that exuded a hint of ghost power from the cashier space on his body and said, "I interrupted it, these two are my compensation..."
Before he could finish, Lin Chen, who had been waiting for a reply, suddenly moved.
He was so fast that he only left an afterimage on the spot, as if he had teleported. Before anyone could react, he had already appeared in front of Wang Zihao.
Wang Zihao still stood there with the two ghostly farm tools in his hands.
Lin Chen's speed was so fast that even he could not react to it. Among the people present, only Duan Jiebo could catch some afterimages.
After Lin Chen got close, he leaped up, spun his body, and kicked out with a whip kick, knocking Wang Zihao to the ground, and stepped on his back.
This scene happened in a flash. Everyone just felt their eyes blurred, and then they saw Wang Zihao fell to the ground and was firmly stepped on by Lin Chen.
At this moment, the whole place was silent.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, stunned on the spot.
Wang Zihao was in a completely dazed state. He lay stupidly on the ground, feeling pain in his body.
But as the person involved, he was the first to react. His face turned red as a pig's kidney and he shouted in shock and anger: "Chen! What are you going to do?"
The others finally reacted and their expressions changed drastically. They never expected that Lin Chen would just take action without saying a word.
"Brother Chen, please show mercy!"
"God Li..."
Xu Linhao and Wu Yawen opened their mouths one after another and tried to stop him subconsciously, but when they saw Lin Chen's cold eyes, they all stopped.
"hehe."
Lin Chen sneered at the two of them, then looked at Wang Zihao at his feet and said, "Don't you want compensation? Pay with your life!"
Wang Zihao was so frightened that his face turned pale when he heard this. He had already sensed the murderous intent in Lin Chen's voice and did not doubt Lin Chen's seriousness at all. He quickly said:
"Chen, I have no grudge against you. Those are just two dead objects. If they break, I will compensate you with two new ones. You can't do this to me!"
As he spoke, he struggled frantically, using his ghost power to try to prop up Lin Chen. However, he soon discovered to his horror that even with all his strength, he was unable to shake Lin Chen at all.
The foot stepping on me felt as heavy as a mountain!
"Wang Zihao is right, Li Shen, they are just two dead things. You wouldn't kill your own people just for such a thing."
"God Li, you need to calm down. Let's sit down and talk. No matter what, I will definitely give you a satisfactory result."
Xu Linhao and Wu Yawen spoke one after another. They had already seen that Lin Chen was really angry, and they were so anxious that cold sweat ran down their foreheads.
But they didn't dare to actually pull Lin Chen away, and could only continue to try to calm Lin Chen down with words.
Lin Chen sneered, "You guys are pretending to be peacemakers, but you are also involved in this matter. Who gave you the right to break into my yard? Especially you two, don't you know that I left those two ghosts to guard the yard on purpose?"
As he spoke, Lin Chen's gaze became extremely captivating.
Xu Linhao and Wu Yawen, who had been talking before, suddenly froze on their faces and their bodies trembled slightly. They didn't expect that Lin Chen had no scruples at all and directly explained the matter to such an extent.
Suddenly I dared not utter another word.
The same went for the others. Since Lin Chen said so, it meant that Lin Chen really cared about their forced intrusion.
These words were not directed at Wang Zihao or Xu and Wu, but at everyone present!
Lin Chen laughed coldly, and the voice was still extremely calm.
But when it fell into the ears of everyone, it added a bit of coolness to this deserted courtyard.
"To you, they are just dead things. To me, they are much more interesting than you." Lin Chen glanced at the two ghost farm tools in his hand, then glanced at everyone and said:
"And with your strength, you are naturally clear about what effect you can achieve. What is your intention in breaking these two ghosts? Are you deliberately provoking me or killing the chicken to scare the monkeys? If it is the former, then you all deserve to die today. If it is the latter, let us see who is the chicken and who is the monkey today."
Lin Chen's voice became much calmer, with a hint of teasing, and the chill in it made people feel even more chilling.
Everyone's hearts were beating wildly and they were extremely nervous. Many people even took a step back secretly.
Duan Jibo sighed slowly. Seeing this, he knew that even if he tried to persuade Lin Chen, he would not be able to stop him.
Moreover, he had no intention of interfering . In his eyes, the behavior of these people did have a deep meaning, which made him very annoyed.
Chen is a person that even Zhou Geng has to take seriously. You want to take advantage of him without even seeing your own strength clearly.
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Zihao's forehead. In this short period of time, he felt that his entire back was wet with sweat.
He knew that Lin Chen was powerful, but he was still shocked to see that he was this powerful.
But the current situation did not allow him to think too much. He could already feel that Lin Chen's butcher knife would fall on him at any time.
No one else said anything. Now, he could only save himself!
"Chen... God Li! I apologize to you. It was our fault. Please... please let me go!" Wang Zihao's voice sounded, with endless pleading.
He struggled frantically, like a snake that was stepped on by a hunter, and shouted in fear: "I'll give you all my food. You must be running out of food now. I still have seven days' worth of food. I'll give it all to you! I only ask you not to kill me!"
"No use."
As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, the hammer and iron rake in his hands immediately hit Wang Zihao from top to bottom.
The curved blade on the iron rake directly pierced into Wang Zihao's body, and the hammer hit Wang Zihao's back of the head directly!
Wang Zihao, a high-level four-star player, died on the spot without even making a sound.
The two ghost farm tools, the iron rake and the hammer, are indeed useless, but with Lin Chen's strength, even if he is holding ordinary tools, he can easily kill a four-star player in seconds.
