I Am the God of Games

Tang Rui and Jem were walking in the snow-covered forest.

They were friends who had known each other when they were fleeing. They were later chosen by Mane in the exile camp outside Viktor and took them to an unnamed town to become believers of the God of Games.

"Jem, why did we come so far..."

Tang Rui dressed as a soldier looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old, because his body had not developed due to malnutrition. He looked dry and thin, like a clumsy blue cat.

He walked in the ankle-deep snow with one foot deep and one shallow, and kept complaining: "Is it bad to stay in the town?"

"Of course not!" Jem, who was wearing a white robe with a cross on his back, looked a little smaller than Tang Rui, but his eyes were extremely bright, giving the first impression that he was like a clever mouse , the boy said without hesitation at this time: "The first half of the Valley of the Dead is always crowded with people, and it's so messy that it's impossible to explore! The cellar of the living dead can't be beaten again. If we continue like this, we will never forget it for the rest of our lives. I want to change jobs!"

"We can go fishing in Greyfjord. The fish soup cooked by the frogmen over there is delicious." Tang Rui seemed to remember the taste of the warm fish soup, and couldn't help but spit.

"Although the inland sea of ​​Greyfjord is big and there are many fish, the problem is that we can't catch it!" Jem sighed: "It's better to go there and crowd people in the Valley of the Dead."

"I see that many players have recently gone to the Lancaster underground stronghold. Maybe there is something good there!"

Tang Rui tightened the leather jacket on his body, but the metal armor on the leather jacket still reduced his body temperature little by little. If it weren't for the fact that there were several bottles of hot drinks in his backpack, he wouldn't have gone out in this weather if he was killed.

"Those people want to do the 'My Lord's radiance shines on the earth' task, that is, the weekly task of persuading others to become new believers. I heard from those who completed the task that the reward is very good." Jem wandered aimlessly. Looking down, he answered casually.

"Then we..." Tang Rui's eyes lit up.

"It is said that many players have been reported by the persuaded residents as cultists. Now seven or eight players have been hanged outside Lancaster City. If you want to be used as a wall decoration, please do so."

Jem said blankly.

"That's what I said," Tang Rui could only smirk and try to muddle through: "But you haven't said why we're going here."

"When I went to the temporary lord's mansion to pick up the task of moving bricks, I peeked at the map near the Lord's table. If I'm not mistaken, this direction has been moving forward, which is called the 'monster forest'. Niada Linhai," Jem said the purpose of his trip: "There must be a lot of monsters in it, will you be worried that you won't be able to upgrade by then?"

"Oh, as expected of you!" Tang Rui applauded perfunctorily.

Suddenly, the expressions of the two of them became a little serious.

A faint smell of wild beasts filled the air. After a while, a huge beast jumped out of the snowdrifts in the forest and rushed towards Tang Rui who was walking in front!

Tang Rui's eyes had long since lost the languid feeling he had before, and he rolled on the ground with an extremely fast response, avoiding the beast's attack!

If Edward Elina and the others were present, they would have discovered that this beast that suddenly appeared was actually the same kind as the dragon-toothed beast that attacked the village!

The lack of food in the frost and fog season also obviously affected the dragon-toothed beetle, the top predator among the non-monster monsters, and its movements were obviously more impatient than the one that attacked the village.

The two young players just glanced at the word LV10 on each other's head and the half-empty health bar. After confirming that there was no boss or elite logo, they no longer had any worries.

Get ready to tackle this guy on the spot

Just as the Dragontooth was about to make a second sprint, Tang Rui and Jem also drew their weapons. A feather arrow hit the Dragontooth's left eye, affecting its attacking route. Then a figure wearing a thick fur coat flew out and threw the two teenagers who were about to activate their skills to the ground. While interrupting their skills, they also completely avoided the dragon-toothed beetle's attack.

Immediately afterwards, many figures in heavy leather coats appeared in the forest, and they used simple bows, arrows, dung forks and other weapons to carry out saturated blows on the blind dragon-toothed beetle, and the unknown After many arrows and dung forks, the dragon-toothed beetles smashed two trees in anger, and finally died unwillingly.

Those who were wearing leather jackets couldn't help cheering excitedly when they saw this.

It was not until this time that Tang Rui and Jim came back to their senses, and they felt like they couldn't laugh or cry... They were robbed by a group of ordinary hunters? No, considering the weapons, maybe some of these people are not even hunters.

Looking at the men who seemed to have been lurking around here early, with their hands and faces turning purple from the cold exposed outside their leather jackets, Jem couldn't express his last complaint.

"Which village are you children?" The middle-aged man who fell on them then pulled them up from the snow in turn and asked at the same time.

"We're from the Valley of the Dead..." Jem suggested that Tang Rui should not speak, and he answered vaguely.

The other party didn't suspect him, but just blamed his head and face: "Don't you care about it? You come to such a place, don't you know how dangerous the forest in the frost and fog season is!"

It's not dangerous and I'm not coming yet. Jem murmured to himself.

If the man continued to preach, Jem might have to fight back. Fortunately, the other party had no such plans, and his expression became gentle after saying a few words.

"Forget it, it's rare to find this beast. Come to our village to drink a bowl of broth, right? I'll take you back when it warms up." The middle-aged man asked them for advice.

Tang Rui looked at Jem, who nodded.

The other party seems to be just kind, and there is no need to refuse.

Taking a step back, it doesn't matter if the other party has any malicious intentions in his heart. I wait for the player to have nothing to fear. Anyway, I will die if I face the sky, but after that, I will definitely let them know what is the player's anger!

At this time, other villagers also tied the dragon-toothed beetle to a wooden frame that they did not know where, and were carried away by a dozen or so people.

Jem couldn't help but think they were stupid, and it would be less laborious to use that rack as a sleigh...

However, seeing that the villagers seemed very happy, he thought they were probably proud of it, so he didn't say anything.

It didn't take long for everyone to come to a nearby village. It was a small village hidden in a valley with about thirty or forty families, and the number of people per round might be more than that of an unnamed town.
