216 Tavern confrontation

While waiting for the waitress to come back, Lin Chi picked up the cup and took another sip of goat's milk.

Although eating and drinking in the game is meaningless, experiencing the taste of "exotic food" is a good pastime. After all, in the real world, he probably will never drink such things.

History is always surprisingly similar. Just as Lin Chi was sitting in front of the bar and put his arms on the table, he heard a knock on the door again in front of the tavern.

Hearing this sound, the strong man who had just nailed the door panel shouted helplessly: "Breaking the door open!"

Bang!

There was another loud noise, and a man fell into the tavern in a mess with the cold wind. The few people who were sitting at the table playing cards turned around and looked at the person who had just come in and scolded loudly: "Close the door quickly! Fuck the ball, don't hinder us from playing the Gunte card."

"There is a big difference in treatment." Lin Chi sighed in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi immediately realized that the other party did not have a high-level identity like "Shadow Guard", and in the eyes of these NPCs, they did not receive any respect at all. However...

——This guy is also a player, right?

Lin Chi raised his vigilance and stared at the person who had just entered the tavern:

The man was wearing a light leather armor that was almost frosted, his face was covered with ice, and he was trembling, as if he could go home at any time.

Although ordinary players will not be frozen into this ghost under the protection of game rules, it is not ruled out that this person deliberately pretends to be like this.

In Advent mode, it is much more difficult to identify whether the other party is a player or not than in the Deathmatch.

After all, in this mode, the NPCs that players possess are all natives. The common "handsome guys and beauties" face-pinching method in the death competition will not appear at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi didn't say much, but pretended to be like a "hidden expert", continued to sit by the bar, playing with the wooden cup in his hand.

He knew that when he could not confirm the other party's identity, the other party could not understand his background.

In this state, it depends on which side is exposed first.

Lin Chi stayed for a while, and the young man in light leather armor pulled a chair and sat next to him. He stared at the "old hunter" beside him and asked tentatively: "Hello?"

"Hello." Lin Chi turned his head and glanced at the guy, and asked casually: "Is there anything wrong?"

"I just arrived in this area and couldn't figure out the situation." The young man said, pulling the brim of his cap on his head: "Can you ask, are you fighting here recently?"

This person's speech is like a standard line for players when talking about NPC. However, such straightforward remarks made Lin Chi doubt.

"Are you a mercenary?" Lin Chi frowned slightly.

"No, no, I'm a scavenger." The young man with a blue face rubbed his red hands: "The Savia Valley is full of treasures, and maybe he can make a fortune!"

Looking at the other party's excited appearance, Lin Chi put down his cup and reminded casually: "The war may be going to start recently, so you'd better not run around and save your life."

"Thank you, thank you." The young man who claimed to be a scavenger thanked him repeatedly, staring at the glass cabinet behind the bar with some confusion, and asked, "Where has the bartender been there?"

"She has something to do now."

"Then I have another question..." The scavenger spoke again.

Before the other party could finish speaking, Lin Chi had already stretched out his right hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Get the money."

"Ah?" The scavenger didn't react for a moment: "What?"

"Although I'm not an intelligence businessman, I can't answer questions for free." Lin Chi said and moved his fingers: "If you need intelligence, pay, it's that simple."

Now, he can almost confirm that this young man is not a player.

After all, players would not be so stupid to report their homes. The suspicious scavenger is probably just a npc who was frozen and stupid.

However, even so, this person is still valuable...

Lin Chi inadvertently glanced at the tavern hall behind him. There were four people playing cards, and three people watching. In addition, three people occupied three empty tables in scattered manner and drank with a muffled wine without saying a word:

——In the frozen Savia Valley, there seem to be not many such gathering places. There are probably other players hidden in this tavern, and there may even be more than one.

Despite the seemingly happy appearance, Lin Chi could still detect it, as if there was an invisible haze, floating in the air inside the tavern with the smell of alcohol.

When the situation is unclear, all you need to do is to be patient.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi was about to talk to the scavenger beside him, but he saw the silver-haired woman finally walking down the stairs, holding a square box wrapped in white cloth in her hand.

"I took it." The waitress laughed.

Lin Chi noticed that everyone in the tavern seemed to have cast meaningful eyes.

He nodded, took the box from the waitress, pretended to be completely unaware of any abnormality, and whispered: "I'll leave first."

"Don't stay for a while?" The waitress's voice sounded a little reluctant.

"I plan to go home and have a sleep."

Lin Chi pulled open the wooden door that had just been nailed by the strong man with one hand. The silver wolf, who was originally lying beside the door, immediately stood up and shook his body, standing next to him.

One man and one wolf left the tavern and returned to the wind and snow all over the sky.

This time, Lin Chi did not leave directly, but walked around the tavern for a few times, concealed his and Yinlang's footsteps, and lay in the snow not far from the tavern door.

"Go over there." He whispered.

As if he understood the owner's order, Silver Wolf quickly ran towards the west side of the tavern, while Lin Chi continued to ambush at the door and observe the situation inside.

The blizzard provided him with a natural camouflage, covering him with a layer of white.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the broken wooden door of the tavern finally opened again.

The first person who walked out was the young scavenger with a curious expression on his face, and turned around and asked, "The horse you mentioned is here?"

"Yes."

Accompanied by the rough male voice, the bald strong man who had just contracted the opening and closing work, also walked out of the tavern: "If you need it, you can give you a discount."

“I just need a horse.”

The scavenger said, and walked happily to the back of the tavern.

The bald strong man turned around and closed the door, then... pulled out the short knife hanging around his waist.

Unfortunately, the old hunter who had been lurking patiently in the tavern for a long time, who had not even had time to do anything, had the old hunter who had been hiding in the snow suddenly stood up and put a barbed arrow on the bowstring of the recurved bow!

——Kill him!

The moment Lin Chi took action, the strong man also noticed his existence. While dodging to the right, he tried to remove the round shield behind him.

Bang!

The arrows tore the air like bullets and nailed to the wooden walls of the tavern. The opponent's dodging speed surprised Lin Chi a little.

At this time, the strong man had already drawn his short sword and rushed towards him.

The speed of this big guy was completely inconsistent with his seemingly bloated body. Before Lin Chi could put away his recurve bow, he saw that the other party had rushed up and waved his sword to slash at his head!

But before the sword could fall, the strong man's right wrist was bitten by the silver wolf that came out from the side.

"ah……"

The strong man who was hindered by Lin Chi's "pet" had a low roar in his chest. Unfortunately, this player with strong physical attributes obviously had never learned how to deal with wild wolf bites.

Before the guy could break free, Lin Chi's second arrow was already on the string, standing less than three meters away, aiming at the other party's shiny head.

This time, the strong man could no longer dodge.

While the silver wolf let go of his mouth and jumped back, the bald man had been shot through his forehead by an arrow from the "old hunter". His body was actually carried back two meters away, falling heavily into the snow, stirring up a white snow fog.

With this person's death, a line of red small words lit up in Lin Chi's vision:

"You killed a player!"

The bald man's body did not disappear immediately like in the death race, but continued to lie motionlessly in the snow, and the snow under his body slowly turned dark red.

Although he killed the enemy, Lin Chi did not relax his vigilance, but instead turned his vigilant eyes to the back of the tavern where the scavengers were.

——Even if the scavenger didn’t hear the sound of the battle just now, the back was too quiet.

When Lin Chi quickly walked around the wooden building and came to the horse shed behind the tavern, he saw a string of long footprints appearing on the snow.

Judging from the magnitude of the pace, the scavengers obviously ran away all the way.

"Um?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi almost immediately reacted:

"That kid is really a player?"

——Although the scavenger seems stupid, he is actually a cunning "old fried dough stick". This person is planning to pretend to be a novice and lure other players hiding in the tavern to reveal their identities.

In this way, even if he didn't kill the strong man, the scavenger should be ready to kill him...

Now that he realized that the strong man had been killed, the boy also decided to escape and avoid head-on confrontation with the enemy.

Could this kid be a character with very low combat power, so he can only be so ugly, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi couldn't help laughing, turned around and left the horse shed, and walked towards his wooden house along the route he came.
