Chapter 25

【Third update, first part, please click, recommend, and collect, all kinds of support~~~】

The players have been trying their best.

When it comes to fearlessness, how can NPCs compare to players? They really can't die even if they try.

The reason for their continuous retreat is the huge gap in strength!

They are not afraid of death, but they don't want to die in vain.

However, their attacks can't even get close to the target;

Darts and weapons are easily deflected by the man, as if he were borrowing arrows like a grass boat, taking them all.

The players are seething with anger at this muscular man who shouts about upholding justice!

Upholding justice? We are the sky, the celestial beings!

We are the main characters of this world! Supporting roles who steal the show are the most detestable!

They resist with all their might, and some even resort to self-harm, reducing their health to get close and hope to be hit by splash damage.

Unfortunately, the muscular man, though bold, has rich PK experience and doesn't fall for it, pushing forward like a bulldozer, sweeping and crushing everything in his path.

Seeing that they were about to be wiped out and still hadn't succeeded, the players thought they were doomed, that today's efforts would be in vain, but unexpectedly, Dugu Fu cleverly dodged and accomplished what they had been trying to do for a long time.

However, the cheers lasted only a few seconds before stopping.

Since he was already stained red, the muscular man, without hesitation, stepped forward and swung his bear-like palm.

It really was like a bear's paw; when it hit the chest, there was a sound of bones breaking, and the player was instantly disconnected.

"Phew..." He swung another slap, "Crack" the sound of a neck breaking, and another player flew like a spinning top, landing like a sack.

One by one, in the blink of an eye, all the players on the scene were down, leaving only Dugu Fu.

Strictly speaking, they were all down, but Dugu Fu is not a player.

But, no one knows that, right?

After taking care of the others, the muscular man lowered his body and charged at Dugu Fu like a raging bull, his eyes bloodshot, and he growled, "You guy, you've ruined my big plan. If I don't kill you today, I'll take your name!"

Dugu Fu's soul almost left his body, and he ran for his life.

He had already started running when the situation turned bad.

He wanted to explain, "I'm not a player, I'm an NPC, just here to eat and drink..." but would they believe him?

No wonder gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins; it really can be fatal!

Although he saw the danger early, the muscular man was too strong. The players were like paper tigers, and by the time he started running, Dugu Fu hadn't gone far.

The four horses were all tied up in the stable, giving him no chance to ride.

He had weapons, but... swinging a knife in this situation would be suicide, right? Right? Right?

The muscular man was getting closer, and Dugu Fu felt his legs getting weaker, as if reliving that terrifying night with the giant python, no, even more terrifying!

After all, the python was just an animal, but this was a human, a top expert with rich PK experience.

Fortunately, he had encountered such a situation before, so he was much calmer this time, though his legs were weak, he could still move.

However... there was a real urge to kneel and beg, "Hero, spare my life, I'll never do it again!"

TV and movies aren't all fiction; in life-or-death moments, all sorts of strange thoughts pop up.

Why didn't they pop up last time?

Last time, facing the python, you wanted to kneel and beg for mercy, but did it have subtitles?

Hmm? Wait, when facing players, talking still works; even though he had no real power, the other side didn't know that.

While running, Dugu Fu suddenly shouted, "Don't chase me, don't chase me! Let me go, and I'll let the boss and the boss lady leave safely."

"Otherwise, I'll bring people to kill everyone in this village!"

"If you can move this village, I'll go kill another one; in this world, there are always idle people to kill!"

The muscular man paused, stopping.

He came to uphold justice and didn't want to involve the innocent.

He stopped! He stopped! Ah, heroes and chivalrous men are indeed the easiest to deceive. Dugu Fu's heart was filled with joy, feeling like he had survived a great disaster.

While running, he began to think about how to get the four horses and their equipment back from the stable...

But then, a few steps ahead, a ragged, blood-covered old man suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"Help, help, save me!" the old man weakly shouted, staggering towards him.

Dugu Fu instinctively dodged to the side, and the old man missed and fell to the ground with a thud.

This... doesn't count as me knocking him down, right? Should I help? Will I be extorted?

Dugu Fu's mind was in turmoil when suddenly, the sound of hooves grew loud, and a group of rough-looking cavalrymen charged into the village, their weapons in disarray, looking like a band of bandits.

"The men of Mount Horsehead are here on business; all irrelevant people, get out of the way!"

A broken gong was being beaten, and rough voices echoed through the village.

"Thud, thud!" Some pedestrians on the street couldn't avoid them and were cut down on the spot.

"Even a slight touch is bad; stay in your houses, don't wander the streets for no reason!"

"Whoosh, whoosh!" Arrows flew by, some fast, some slow, some far, some near, and the sound of screams could be heard.

Some arrows were on fire, and soon black smoke rose from the village.

"Bang, bang!" The sounds of doors and windows being closed echoed throughout the village.

These are real bandits!

"Quick, quick, go save my young lady, my young lady..." Dugu Fu was stunned, and the old man, who had fallen, shakily got up and stammered.

Save your young lady? Who will save me! Dugu Fu thought, looking at the fierce bandits ahead.

But the old man's wounds were very strange...

Damn, at a time like this, is it right to be thinking about the wounds? Dugu Fu slapped himself and decisively turned around and ran.

He ran ahead, and the bandits chased from behind, quickly closing the distance...

This scene was so familiar, as if it had just happened a few seconds ago!

Dugu Fu's running came to an abrupt stop. It really was just a few seconds ago!

He remembered that not far behind, the muscular man was still waiting. If he ran into him, he would be walking into a trap, right?

What, he was already scared?

That was earlier!

Now, the situation was that he had just threatened to kill everyone in the village, and the bandits had already entered...

He could almost imagine the muscular man's rage: "So you're not a player, but a spy for the bandits!"

"I've already let you go once, and you still dare to come back and threaten me? You really are asking for it! Snap! Thud! Splash!"

But, if there was no way forward, was there a way back?

In front was a tiger-like muscular man, and behind were wolf-like bandits. This is where the saying "a tiger in front, a wolf behind" comes from.

Dugu Fu was in tears, really, he was crying...

What had he done to deserve such a day of misfortune, with no way out?

Wait, wait, wait, there seems to be a glimmer of hope here.

What is it?

Don't panic, don't panic, Dugu Fu, stay calm!

To survive, the more critical the moment, the calmer you must be.

He took a deep breath and exhaled deeply, calming his thundering heart and chaotic mind.

Right! Right! His gaze returned to the old man behind him. The wounds on this old man... he clearly...

So, the situation is actually...
