I Am the God of Games

Not only the new players, but even the battle-hardened first-line players like Edward were taken aback by the appearance of the tunnel-eyed serpent.

So far, players have fought many huge monsters - such as the juvenile body of the barren mountain giant, the red corpse dragon that broke out of the ground, the mutated undead night cry devil, and the big evil eye that just fell into the ground not long ago host.

But in terms of size, no one can compare to this time's tunnel-eyed serpent! This guy almost hollowed out the entire upper half of Mount Meredith, covering himself with rocks, soil, and the shining crystals in the mine.

If the hill in the "hill-like enemy" that players faced before was just an exaggeration, then this time it is just an adjective explained in a literal sense.

"Hey, how do you fight such a big monster? Do you step on its toes?" Joe looked up at the tunnel-eyed serpent approaching Crooks City, and then looked at the 'giant's toe' on his hand to be discouraged. Said: "But this guy doesn't even have toes!"

"Not only the toes, but even the eyes, throat and other vital organs don't exist." Goudan looked carefully at the behemoth in the distance, and couldn't help frowning.

He used to write a lot of headline posts in order to gain attention. As a result, many first-line players who were misled by him beat him up online. Since then, Goudan has devoted himself to studying monsters, and he is still quite accomplished now. , so it can be seen at a glance that something is wrong.

Although the system judged this monster as a creature, it is clear that the tunnel-eyed serpent is different from ordinary creatures. The shape of the creature is just a mimicry for better activities. In essence, this thing is a pile of rocks, soil and sparkling crystals. .

But this kind of physiological structure is also different from elemental creatures. Almost all elemental creatures have cores—this is the part where they store their consciousness, think and control their bodies, but this tunnel-eyed serpent has no sign of a core at all. .

What made Goudan even more disturbing was that he didn't see the blood bar that should have appeared on the head of the tunnel-eyed snake!

Even if it was a boss template, how could a mere level 35 monster have no health bar?

After Goudan shared his analyzed information with Edward, the latter pondered for a moment, then his expression brightened.

"I understand!" Edward said seriously: "There is no health bar, this is just the hint given to us by the God of Games!"

"What hint, don't you think this thing is a friendly army? Its name is bright red..."

Qiao couldn't help asking: "The two constructs before were still yellow anyway."

"No, this monster named Tunnel-eyed Serpent is undoubtedly an enemy. There are two possible reasons why there are no blood bars."

Edward explained to his teammates: "First of all, the enemy's body is not here. The giant beast that appeared in front of us is just a shell, and the blood bar will appear on the opponent's body."

"It's possible... do you want to contact other players and assign some people to go out to find the main body?" Goudan asked hastily.

"Believe it or not, as soon as this possibility is announced on the forum, all the players in Crooks City will rush out to find the main body, and no one will stay here and die with this thing."

Edward shook his head.

From the player's point of view, righteousness is also very important, but Crooks City is not Lancaster, which has already allied with the Church of the God of Games, nor is it Tunaia, the hometown of Lord Angra. map only.

They are not familiar with the city at all, let alone have any feelings for it.

Therefore, at this time, the driving force driving the players' actions is undoubtedly the interest.

In the eyes of ordinary people, money and power are not very attractive to players.

In comparison, the best equipment, a lot of experience points and game coins are more useful.

Staying in the city against the body is dangerous and has little benefit. It is obviously easier and more profitable to kill the body, so it is very clear which side the players will choose.

Taking a step back, if Edward's guess is correct, then finding the enemy body as quickly as possible and destroying it can be regarded as saving the city from another angle, and there is really nothing to blame for the players' choices.

"Then let them fight this thing to death, and we go find the main body and beat it?" Joe scratched his head and asked.

"Although it is indeed possible to do this, I don't want my reputation to become infamous." Edward shook his head: "And didn't I say that there is another possibility."

"What's possible?" Goudan asked curiously.

"This guy is the enemy itself, and it also has a blood bar, but the blood bar will only appear after certain conditions are met." Edward said: "The best evidence for this guess is that its appearance did not trigger the system to release a new task."

"How is this logic connected together?" Goudan was a little confused about this.

"According to the system... or the usual style of the God of Games, if this monster is really just a shell and the enemy is hiding in a corner to manipulate it, a mission should be released, and it should be revealed in the mission description." Edward, who is a good teacher, didn't mind the trouble, and explained in a good way: "But there is no such task now, probably because there is no controller behind this thing! The reason why the blood bar is not displayed is because the conditions have not been met."

In fact, continuing to reason and guess deeply, Edward believes that this "tunnel-eyed serpent" is likely to be a part of a certain mission among the missions that have appeared so far.

Excluding some less likely ones, there is a high probability that they are part of the two missions of the 'Swamp Man Incident' or 'Ancient High Elf Ruins'.

"Then what should we do?" Goudan, who felt a bit of a headache, asked again: "Should we fight or flee?"

"Fight!" Edward made a choice without hesitation: "I bet on the second possibility! Starting from detonating the shining crystal on it, try the possibilities one by one. If you really can't find a way, let other players Go find the main body, let's hold this guy!"

"It's another hard job." Qiao complained, but her hands had already tightly grasped the hilt of the giant sword, and she called out her Yihun.

"Who made us the earliest believers in the god of games." Although Goudan didn't pick up on it, he also expanded his AWM to the most powerful ultra-long-range sniper mode: "We must shoulder some responsibilities."

Edward looked at his partner, smiled slightly, raised his fire joy, and mobilized the blue bar to get ready.

The sack that had been quiet at their feet squirmed, and then Elena's weak voice came.

"That... can I die?"

Three people: "..."

Oops, I accidentally forgot about the alternate saintess.
