Chapter 108: Time Limit

Liu Xing pressed the red button again, and the metal plate in front of him, or rather the door of the Airdrop Pod, opened. He stepped out, backpack in tow.

As Liu Xing had guessed while on the Transport Plane, their drop zone was a vast grassland. Ji Wu and others also emerged from their Airdrop Pods at this time.

"Damn it, weren't we supposed to parachute? Why did it turn into an airdrop?" He Wei complained as he stepped out of his Airdrop Pod.

Landing beside He Wei, Zhu Yan Yu shrugged and sighed helplessly, saying, "He Wei, have you heard this saying? All interpretations of this event belong to Aughra. So, we have no say. If Aughra says it's parachuting, then it's parachuting."

Zhu Yan Yu's words left everyone speechless. After all, here, Nyarlathotep was in charge, and as an "outsider," his misunderstanding of parachuting was somewhat understandable to Liu Xing and the others...

"Heh, I think this Aughra must've mistaken us for star paratroopers, hence the mix-up with airdropping and parachuting," Liu Xing joked, easing the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Ai Mei, looking westward, said, "Alright, let's not waste time and head straight for the town. After all, this grassland seems calm, but the grass must be nearly half a meter tall. If there are predators like wolves in these grasslands, it would be hard to spot them, and that would spell big trouble."

Reminded by Ai Mei, Liu Xing noticed that the grass around them was indeed about half a meter tall and very dense. The occasional breeze made the endless grassland undulate beautifully... and lethally! As Ai Mei said, if any mythical creatures decided to attack them, they could easily stalk through the grass undetected and launch a surprise attack.

"Ai Mei is right, let's hurry and leave for the town. This place gives me the creeps," Pei Si said, frowning.

Of course, Pei Si felt uncomfortable because the grass reached her waist due to her short stature...

Everyone understood this but, facing Pei Si's threatening demeanor, they could only suppress their laughter and prepare to leave.

This suggested that on Sky Floating Island, there might be weapons with higher damage to humans than mythical creatures, hinting at the presence of other human NPCs on the island.

Liu Xing pocketed the pain relief spray and loaded the handgun, keeping it in hand for safety on the perilous Sky Floating Island.

He noticed Ai Mei's box contained a red handgun of a different style and two magazines.

"This is a Blood Gun, capable of restoring health by attacking enemies, but it requires special ammo," Ai Mei explained with a chuckle, noticing Liu Xing's curiosity.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by his blatant curiosity, especially in a game where players were both allies and enemies, Liu Xing reciprocated by sharing basic information about his weapon with Ai Mei, though he, like her, withheld specific damage details.

Soon, Ji Wu and others opened their boxes. Adhering to a policy of non-intrusion, Liu Xing struck up a conversation with Ai Mei. After a while, the group reconvened.

Liu Xing noticed that aside from a dagger in Ji Wu's hand, the others didn't seem to have received any weapons.

"Uh, this dagger has great attributes, but I haven't learned any brawling or knife skills, so my attack accuracy is low. Don't expect much damage from me. Of course, if any of you have learned these skills, I can hand the dagger over," Ji Wu said, somewhat embarrassedly scratching his head.

Pei Si and the others shook their heads, indicating they hadn't acquired any brawling or knife skills either.

Thus, only Liu Xing and Ai Mei were left with any significant combat capabilities.
