These players who had joined the evil faction and been strengthened by the werewolf Tuge began to run.
But in less than ten seconds, the second layer of poison arrived.
Speed reduced by 20%.
And no matter how they ran, they couldn’t seem to escape the poison mist.
The third layer of poison stacked on top.
Chu Fu’s damage was simply too high, and the toxins she inflicted were terrifying. These giant wolves couldn’t even last three minutes; within thirty seconds, they fell to the ground screaming in despair, unable to escape the poison mist.
All their equipment dropped to the ground—uniformly Bronze-tier gear. But not only that, there was also a black sphere radiating a golden light.
[Evil God’s Divine Power Substance]
Chu Fu descended, picking up the Evil God’s Divine Power Substance.
Shen Chi and the others were stunned for a moment, also shocked by Chu Fu’s skill, but quickly landed to help pick up the items.
“These beasts, traitors to humanity! They even wanted to kill NPCs!” Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao cursed.
There were fifteen Evil God’s Divine Power Substances in total.
Clearly, the people from the Dragon Tour Studio also knew this strategy; they had assembled fifteen players and joined the werewolf Tuge’s faction.
So, did players from other studios know about it?
That’s why the earlier servers had such low player counts—because they too were collecting disguise masks, drastically reducing the number of players.
After all, fifteen Evil God’s Divine Power Substances meant the heads of 1,500 players.
And fighting the boss, competing with each other, and PKing in the wild also led to player deaths, further decreasing the numbers.
In the original plot, Huan Yu Kuang Ba ended up defending the beginner village, likely because his authority in the studio was too low to know this strategy, and he didn’t turn on ordinary players.
The more Chu Fu speculated, the more control she gained over the storyline.
Still, thanks to the people from the Dragon Tour Studio, she now had two extra Gold-tier equipment pieces.
Chu Fu immediately equipped one onto her cloak and one onto her headband.
[Poison Moth Cloak (Gold-tier): Defense +150, Constitution +15, Spirit +15, Attached Skill: Poison Powder]
[High Soul Crystal Headband (Gold-tier): Attack +60, Spirit +38, Mana Recovery Effect +20%]
Before she even reached the level 20 map, Chu Fu had already gathered four Gold-tier equipment pieces.
How come she felt stronger than her brother Chu Feng, the male lead?
Chu Fu didn’t overthink it and started helping Suture Saint gather the corpses of the NPCs.
The sturdiest building in the village was the village chief’s house, and at its entrance, a nearly shattered corpse lay before everyone’s eyes.
The village chief’s abdomen had been eaten clean, likely because he was old, so the monster hadn’t devoured him entirely.
Suture Saint had never stitched up such a broken corpse before, but upholding her medical student professionalism, she replaced the chief’s organs.
Ever since she had mastered Corpse Sewing, the materials in her backpack had changed.
Hearts of mutated rabbits, hides of wild boars, livers and intestines of wolves, stomachs and kidneys of tigers.
She had known how to harvest from the start.
After switching to Free Mode, any monster became dissection material in her hands.
She practically performed a full organ transplant on the village chief.
Meanwhile, Lin Haowan’s livestream room exploded once again.
This time, it wasn’t praise—it was horror!
“Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! How is the game not blurring this out? It’s just raw footage like this? I can’t take it, I’m gonna puke.”
Ahhhhh! This is horrifying. Usually seeing chopped pork doesn't bother me, but this is a person!
I always thought the strongest in the team was the Plant Girl, the coolest was the Wheelchair God, the most arrogant was the Sword Saint, the richest was Jiao Jiao—turns out the most ruthless is the Suture Saint!!!
Barrage defense!!! Protect my eyes!
Medical student reporting. This Suture Saint is incredibly professional—you can't develop that technique without at least ten years of dissection experience!
But she's saving lives!
And with the Suture Saint's expert treatment, the village chief's body was actually stitched back together.
As the Suture Saint's healing spell took effect,
the village chief of Tianhe Village suddenly opened his eyes.
He was alive.
"I... I'm not dead?"
No, he remembered. He had died. He had been torn apart by a pack of wolves. Even while he was still alive, they had ripped out his organs.
He looked around.
He saw a tall, elegant woman holding a needle and thread, her expression both saintly and serious.
"Awakened one, you saved me!"
"Yes, I saved you. Got any treasures on you? Don't forget to reward me!"
The Suture Saint said casually while treating the next NPC villager.
"Oh, you've lost your hand. I'll replace it with a bear's paw! It'll pack a punch from now on."
The Suture Saint swiftly stitched away.
The village chief looked around. Everywhere there were the bodies of wild beasts, and a few people were busy working.
He finally realized what had happened.
"You... you saved Tianhe Village?"
"Thank you, Awakened ones!"
"On behalf of Tianhe Village, I thank you!"
"But the beast tide isn't over yet. More beasts will come. You need to flee—take the remaining children in the village and escape!"
Chu Fu walked up to the village chief and said, "Grandpa Chief, we are villagers from Wangxi Village. Our village's Awakened ones are on their way. Don't worry—we will definitely defend this village!
Now, is there anything you need help with?"
So hurry up and give us a quest—or some rewards!
The village chief of Tianhe Village looked at Chu Fu.
From the large energy-stone headdress on her head, to the sugar-cube-shaped earrings, to her skirt, cloak, and staff...
"Ah! A powerful Awakened one! Thank you, thank you for coming to save our village!"
"If you can defend Tianhe Village, I will give you all the village's wealth as a reward!"
"For now, please save the villagers!"
Immediately, Chu Fu received a system prompt.
[You have accepted the village chief's First Quest: Defend Tianhe Village.]
[Second Quest: Collect the remains of deceased villagers and body fragments.]
[Third Quest: Resist the beast tide.]
[Fourth Quest: Build traps.]
[Fifth Quest: Supply medicine.]
[Sixth Quest: Rebuild Tianhe Village.]
A series of quest prompts appeared.
Some of them were prerequisites for the village defense quest.
Then, a system announcement appeared.
[System Announcement: The village chief of Tianhe Village has been revived. After completing the village chief's quest and healing 11% of the NPC count, the contribution ranking can be reactivated, initiating the counterattack.]
[Countdown: 10 minutes!]
The task of saving people was left to the Suture Saint.
But the other quests also required a lot of manpower.
Right now, there were only five of them.
Time was running out; there were only 10 minutes left. There was no time to spare.
