Chapter 120 True and False Qiao Yu, Shameful Disguise

“The Dishonoring Lake is right in the center of the Dishonoring Rainforest. Let’s go, but remember to avoid the taboos the system mentioned.”

After Qin Qianxue's reminder, the group identified their direction and headed towards the center of the Dishonoring Rainforest.

Qiao Yu followed behind Qin Qianxue, silently checking his information panel.

Now that he had the Qiongqi pendant, his Spirit and Intelligence had both broken through one hundred. He could finally use the skill books he had saved up.

He frantically used the skill books, using all the ones he had obtained.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨, was he finally going to have the chance to use his first spell?

Qiao Yu looked at the descriptions of his necromantic spells.

Gates of Akka (A-grade): Under the control of a necromancer, the ground cracks, creating a fissure through which dead dark knights can enter the battle.

“You’re a beginner player; why are you in a D-grade dungeon?”

Qiao Yu had just finished reading about the first skill when Qin Qianxue's pleasant voice sounded in front of him.

Qiao Yu had no choice but to exit his attribute panel.

Looking at Qin Qianxue's back, he smiled wryly.

“I have no choice. I’m cursed. If I don’t enter the Dishonoring Lake, I’ll die.”

As he spoke, he revealed the Drought Demon curse on his arm.

Qin Qianxue turned her head and glanced at it. The emerging Drought Demon grimace made her frown.

She looked at Qiao Yu again, her eyes showing sympathy for the unlucky guy.

Qiao Yu awkwardly touched his nose.

“Damn, is this Dishonoring Rainforest really devoid of danger?” Cao Shao couldn't help but say.

They had been walking in the Dishonoring Rainforest for nearly half an hour now, and they hadn't seen a single monster or NPC, not even a ghost.

The entire Dishonoring Rainforest was sweltering and silent, without even the sound of insects chirping, making people restless.

“Isn’t it good that there’s no danger? Do you want there to be danger?” Mi Yuan asked coldly.

“That’s not it, but it’s too quiet. It’s definitely not normal,” Cao Shao said sheepishly.

“Cao Shao’s not wrong this time. Everyone, be careful,” Qin Qianxue reminded them.

In fact, she was also a little wary. From the beginning, she had felt like a pair of eyes was watching her in the dark, making her uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Wu Chengfu inadvertently glanced around the team, but that one glance made all the hairs on his body stand on end in an instant, and cold sweat ran down his back.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he said in a trembling voice, “How… how are there seven people?”

Qiao Yu looked intently. There was indeed one more person in their group at some point.

Or rather, was this extra person even human?

The group instantly separated, each occupying a direction, and then looked at their teammates warily.

Qiao Yu looked at their faces one by one.

Qin Qianxue, Cao Shao, Mi Yuan, Qiao Yu, Wu Chengfu, and the quiet Tang Lan.

There were six people, no problem, Qiao Yu frowned.

Wait!

Damn it, wasn’t he Qiao Yu?

Qiao Yu’s face instantly turned green, and he looked at the other “Qiao Yu”.

The expression on that “Qiao Yu”’s face was lifelike. Qiao Yu felt like he was looking in a mirror.

Even more strangely, that “Qiao Yu” actually gave him a stiff smile.

Qin Qianxue and the others also noticed something was wrong, and they looked at the two identical Qiao Yu with suspicion.

Cao Shao had already drawn his knife.

“How is it? You interact with him more. Can you tell which one is real?” Mi Yuan asked Qin Qianxue.

Qin Qianxue shook her head with a grim expression.

“If you ask me, just kill them both!” Cao Shao was eager to try. He had wanted to cut Qiao Yu's face for a long time.

“So, if two of you appear next time, can I kill both of you too?”

Mi Yuan's voice made Cao Shao shiver, and he looked at the two Qiao Yu with even more resentment.

Was it just because he had a good-looking face? Why were both women protecting him?

“The fact that thing turned into Qiao Yu is actually an opportunity for us. He’s the weakest, making it easier for us to find the thing’s weakness.”

Qin Qianxue stated her opinion.

“Sister Xue, you don’t need to move. Just prevent that thing from running away. Leave the rest to me!”

The fake Qiao Yu confidently patted his chest, which made the real Qiao Yu very angry.

It was one thing to imitate his face, but did he want to steal the show?

What the hell!

Qiao Yu was about to attack when he suddenly stopped.

That's right, his current identity was a necromancer, so how could he engage in melee combat?

Close combat was something that Qiao Yu, a mage, couldn't do.

He didn't want to expose all his cards in front of Qin Qianxue and the others.

Qiao Yu took out a pink staff, the Fairy Staff he had temporarily borrowed from Yang Xiangdi.

At the same time, a pink Hello Kitty mage robe appeared on his body, fluttering in the wind.

Qiao Yu's face flushed red.

He originally didn't want to wear this, but he couldn't resist Yang Xiangdi's enthusiasm, who insisted that he experience his feelings too.

Now, looking at the strange expressions and gazes of Qin Qianxue and the others, Qiao Yu deeply understood Yang Xiangdi's feelings.

Even the fake Qiao Yu on the opposite side was silent when he saw this extremely pink outfit.

This time, he didn't imitate and instead took out a black staff himself.

“I think the pink one is the real one. Who agrees? Who objects?” Mi Yuan said after a moment of silence.

“I agree…” Qin Qianxue raised her hand.

She believed that the monster, whatever it was, shouldn't have such a peculiar pink fetish.

“This kid… could he be a she-male?”

Wu Chengfu’s gaze towards Qiao Yu had changed from hostility to ambiguous, as if he wasn't the one who had been targeting Qiao Yu from the beginning.

“Then I’ll attack!”

A huge broadsword appeared in Mi Yuan’s hand, like a shield.

“Luo Ling Dragon Slash!”

As Mi Yuan slashed out with her sword, a golden dragon, as if cast from gold, bit towards the Qiao Yu holding the black staff.

The terrifying power shattered all the surrounding vines.

Qiao Yu was a little speechless at the power. Was this the strength of a mid-level player?

And Cao Shao on the side was even more grateful that he hadn't spoken rudely to Mi Yuan just now.

The golden dragon bit towards “Qiao Yu”, and that “Qiao Yu” turned his head and glared at the real Qiao Yu with resentment.

Qiao Yu felt a chill all over his body, and the Drought Demon curse on his hand was aching faintly.

The dragon bit down in one gulp, and sword energy ran rampant. The flesh on “Qiao Yu”’s body began to fall off continuously.

When the dragon formed by the sword energy dissipated, a crooked, stitched-together wooden face appeared before everyone’s eyes, with a strange smile on its face.

This was actually a living puppet!

The puppet raised its head and pounced directly at Qiao Yu, its two wooden arms locking towards Qiao Yu’s neck!

This puppet was preparing to directly break Qiao Yu’s neck!
