Chapter 426 Monster in the Jungle
Chapter 426 Monster in the Jungle
Stiller didn't let Lin Yu wait too long.
He quickly figured out how to spread the rumor.
And just as Lin Yu expected, Stiller's idea was somewhat laughable.
He walked straight to the stove, like a student walking into a pub for the first time but pretending to be a regular and going straight to the bar.
"Hey, hello, sprite."
Stiller's work seems casual, but in fact it is too casual and appears deliberate.
Lin Yu observed, and Fern immediately frowned: "What is this guy going to do? From his previous behavior, I thought he was a decent person!"
"How sneaky this is going to be."
Not to mention Fern, even the group of players who had originally acted with Stiller looked sideways.
"What's he doing all of a sudden?"
The bounty hunter was the first to express his confusion. After all, he was the last to join this temporary team and had the shallowest foundation compared to the others. Therefore, he naturally cared the most about Stiller.
The first person who spoke up at this time to express confusion was not questioning Stiller, but rather out of some simple concern and... disguised protection.
Even the barbarians over there couldn't help but look at Stiller's defense line.
And the fire in the furnace began to rise.
"What's going on, Terran?"
"You claim to be a very ancient being, so I just wanted to inquire about something," Stiller said, somewhat absorbed in his thoughts. "I witnessed something at this Glory Festival that is beyond my comprehension."
The fire became interested and showed a curious expression.
However, since Stiller praised him, although he was very curious, the fire still took the shelf first and praised himself as well.
"Ahem, yes, I have indeed existed for a long time and have witnessed many changes and evolutions in the Black Swamp."
"Although I can't guarantee that I know everything, I believe that your questions will not exceed the scope of my knowledge."
Stiller, upon hearing what the other party said, spoke somewhat stiffly, "Is that so... It's like this. Something beyond my comprehension is actually a life—or rather, a certain existence."
As he spoke, everyone became interested and started listening attentively.
Because Stiller's performance was a bit clumsy and he was obviously hiding something, everyone was more attracted to what he wanted to say.
"Life, existence? Such a mysterious statement!"
Fern commented, stroking his chin.
Looking at Fern who was paying close attention to Stiller, Lin Yu felt very satisfied.
This is what he wants to achieve.
The more suspicious it is, the more likely it is to attract attention.
The biggest nemesis of "fraud" is not that the flaws are discovered, but... no one looks.
The hardest targets for any scam are always those who don’t even give you a chance to speak.
No matter how clever a scam call is, it can’t fool someone who doesn’t answer the phone.
Whether it was suspicion or scrutiny, as long as their eyes fell on Stiller, that was the result Lin Yu wanted to see.
And Stiller continued to speak somewhat deliberately.
"I encountered a creature that was neither a beast nor an intelligent species. That terrifying creature possessed the ferocity and savagery of a beast, but at the same time, it resembled a humanoid form capable of communication."
This content instantly caught Luhuo's attention.
"What a strange statement. Please elaborate."
Luhuo asked in detail.
Stiller composed himself, pretended to be frightened, and continued speaking.
"Shortly after I entered the festival, I met a Xue Luo. He was a very aggressive and strong guy. When he saw me, he wanted to challenge me."
"He was tall, strong, and looked very brave. I didn't want to cause any trouble and just wanted to hunt peacefully, so I refused him. But I didn't expect him to be so relentless and chase me - this didn't surprise me. After all, 'challenge' is just a polite excuse."
"I wasn't entirely confident of defeating that Xue Luo, so I began to negotiate with him... To avoid him, I deliberately circled the outer reaches of that deep and complex forest. His pursuit would be hindered under the cover of darkness... But I overlooked one thing: this dense forest might also be hiding other things."
"After chasing him for a while, I started to run out of energy. When I wanted to change my strategy, suddenly, I realized he seemed to have disappeared!"
"My first reaction was to wake up, but soon, I felt relieved and then uneasy because I heard some disturbing noises and smelled a strong smell of blood."
Hearing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but curl his lips.
so terrible……
Stiller sounds like the old man in a third-rate horror movie who's scaring children with scary stories—stories that will come true in the future.
It is full of cheap emotional rendering and meaningless description of the environment.
Lin Yu could guess why Stiller told the story this way.
"He must have been reading too much Stephen King lately."
After coming to this world, Stiller seems to be very keen on reading various science fiction and suspense novels.
"By the way, that guy may seem arrogant and rude, but judging by his personality, his behavior definitely doesn't indicate he's the type to give up easily."
After hearing Stiller's next speech, Lin Yu's mouth twitched again.
"It turns out that Lao Zheng did it too."
Lin Yu, who already knew what part Stiller was going to compile next, unsurprisingly heard the "climax" of Stiller's impromptu story.
"After a struggle between my conscience and my conscience, I made up my mind - I want to go back and find him, I want to find that bastard! I want to see what happened to him!"
"No matter what hidden weirdness there is, it can't scare me—that's what I originally thought."
"But... after I turned around, I saw the most terrifying scene in the woods."
"A huge, bloody monster with four thick arms and a face as hideous as a demon."
"And that Xue Luo was caught in its grasp, with absolutely no room for resistance—not even a cry!"
"That Xue Luo and I have circled around in this dense forest for many times. I didn't hear when such a huge thing came, nor did I see any footprints or traces."
"It just appeared out of nowhere – I couldn't even tell if it was a contestant or a player!"
"Then, under my observation, the red four-handed monster grabbed Xue Luo's limbs, and then..."
Stiller's voice trembled.
"He tore the blood Luo in two!"
