Chapter 246 Different Considerations
The item information on the sign clearly shows that it was put there by someone from the Lost City. Why didn't this uncle know about it?
Put it there by other teams? Was it the uncle's lost teammates?
By the way, the sign itself is strange. It is already in the outer area of the primeval forest, which means that the person who put up the sign is about to leave the mountain.
It doesn't match the dungeon setting.
In the introduction to the spiritual realm, it is clearly written that the people in the city are trapped, and those who go into the mountains to explore are in great danger. In theory, they shouldn't leave the mountains so quickly, otherwise this setting seems useless.
Zhang Yuanqing thought, and kept talking, saying:
"You just said that a human face grew on the tree, that was your missing team member, what happened later?"
The middle-aged man replied:
"We were all scared at the time, we had never encountered such a situation before, and finally the captain suggested to cut down the tree to see what was going on."
Are you guys courting death? Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart, and sure enough, he heard the middle-aged man say with panic:
"As a result, something happened, the captain just chopped the tree trunk with an axe, and it started bleeding, just like a person, and the human face suddenly opened eyes, crying and shouting in pain, the sound was miserable and terrible, I still can't forget it.
"The captain was also scared and didn't dare to cut anymore. Just when we were at a loss, the team members in the tree trunk suddenly looked at us with resentment, shouting: Eat you all, eat you all
"Then, the surrounding trees suddenly seemed to come alive. There was no wind, but the branches moved like hands, and we ran away in fear."
Zhang Yuanqing said: "So, we ran away?"
The middle-aged man shook his head:
"That was later. We didn't even dare to camp that night. We stayed up all night. We were on the road, and at daybreak, we encountered a group of monkeys. "
"Monkeys?"
"Yes, they are man-eating monkeys." The middle-aged man said in a low voice, with fear and hatred:
"There was a member of the team who was eaten by monkeys because he failed to escape in time. I saw with my own eyes that the group of beasts rushed forward like wolves gnawing at their prey. My companions and I were separated during the escape."
Zhang Yuanqing stared at the dead branches under the uncle's feet and tried to get as much information as possible:
"Uncle, what do you know about this forest?"
The middle-aged The uncle shook his head:
"This forest appeared out of thin air. I only know that it is very dangerous. Before us, some people also tried to climb over this forest and escape from the cage."
"But they never came back. I hope they have found a way out."
At this point, the middle-aged man said:
"Young man, I'm leaving. Find your companions and find a way out of the mountain. I also hope you can leave here as soon as possible. Remember, the trees here will eat people. Be careful. They are afraid of knives and fire. When you encounter danger, remember to protect yourself.
"Also, be careful of monkeys!"
Watching the middle-aged man leave and disappearing in the depths of the woods, Zhang Yuanqing retracted his gaze and summarized the conversation just now.
"Outer area, known dangers: trees and monkeys. According to the uncle, the member was confused by the call, so he disappeared and appeared in the tree. Does it mean that the call was actually made by the tree? "
"In summary: Ignore the shouts to avoid danger. Trees are afraid of fire and knives. You can only fight monkeys head-on."
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Can you get points by cutting down and burning trees?
If so, with the vast area of this primeval forest, he can make a lot of money.
"Obviously not, this is too simple. Maybe not all trees are dangerous. Trees that eat people are hidden in the forest. Killing them will get points."
Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and suddenly frowned:
"The sign was put up by the people of the Lost City, telling me not to use knives and flames in the forest, but the uncle of the Lost City told me that trees are afraid of knives and fire, implying that I can use them to protect myself when necessary. They are contradictory. "
According to his experience, contradictions mean hidden plots that need to be explored.
There are too few clues, and it is useless to overthink. Zhang Yuanqing continued to walk into the depths of the dense forest, with Blood Rose clearing the way ahead. Although it was meaningless to clear the way after he could not use the knife.
But when danger came, Blood Rose walking in front could block the knife for him.
After walking like this for half an hour, Zhang Yuanqing heard a dense "squeaking" sound from his left hand side, accompanied by the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the treetops.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the forest shaking constantly. Indistinctly, there were a few agile monkeys leaping and climbing between the treetops, chasing the prey below.
The prey was running in the primeval forest with bushes and vines hanging down. Its speed was surprisingly fast, and it was not affected by the complex terrain.
The monkeys were leaping on the treetops, which was extremely agile, but they couldn't catch up with the prey for a while.
It was so fast and so agile, was it a wood demon? Zhang Yuanqing didn't see anyone, but he had Finally, as the rustling sound got closer, he saw a tall and pretty woman coming out of the bushes on the left. She was about 30 years old, wearing loose black trousers, a green jacket, a bun, and a pair of running shoes. She had a beautiful oval face, long legs, a full chest that supported the jacket, and a slender waist. After the woman came out of the bushes, the two sides met, her expression suddenly changed, and she stopped in a hurry. Staring at Xue Qiangwei and Zhang Yuanqing, he took a defensive posture.
"Hua Hua~"
At this time, the monkeys on the treetops followed suit, some of them pounced directly on the oval-faced woman, and some continued to leap on the treetops, reaching the top of Zhang Yuanqing and Xue Qiangwei's heads, and pounced down aggressively.
They were one meter long, covered with coarse black hair, with a sturdy body and long arms with knotted muscles.
Fuck, an unexpected disaster Zhang Yuanqing half-turned sideways, bent his upper body, and kicked his right foot straight up.
"Bang! "
The soles of his feet collided with the chest of the black-haired monkey. He only felt that the chest was as tough as leather and as heavy as a boulder, but there was no such a satisfying feeling of hitting.
He knew that his kick did not cause much damage to the monkey.
Sure enough, the monkey fell to the ground, got up immediately, supported himself with his arms, and rushed over half-jumping and half-running.
Zhang Yuanqing calmly took out the bloodthirsty blade, pinched the tip of the blade, and threw it hard.
"Puff! "
The bloodthirsty blade turned into silver light and nailed into the chest of the black-haired monkey.
Thump, thump, thump. Zhang Yuanqing ran with big strides, jumped up, kicked the handle of the knife, and sent the 40-centimeter bloodthirsty blade into the monkey's chest.
The black-haired monkey fell to the ground with a bang, his legs twitched a few times, and soon he lost his breath.
Although the sign said that props could not be used, Zhang Yuanqing believed that as long as he did not use a knife to cut trees and vines, he would be fine.
[Ding ! You killed a mountain monkey and got 1 point. ]
On the other side, Blood Rose grabbed the monkey's throat with one hand and threw it to the ground, then knelt on one knee on its chest and raised her right fist high.
He punched down with a straight punch.
The black-haired monkey's head exploded instantly, and brain tissue and bloody bones splattered everywhere.
[Ding! You killed a mountain monkey and got 1 point. ]
The battle record of the Yin Corpse is counted on the owner.
Blood Rose's pupils turned scarlet. With a light sniff, blood mist began to rise from the black-haired monkey and flowed into her nasal cavity.
The breath of this Yin corpse suddenly rose, and it seemed to become stronger.
"Squeak~"
The monkeys on the tree seemed to be frightened and screamed continuously. Several monkeys who wanted to kill their prey grabbed the branches in panic and narrowly avoided falling.
Then, they reached a consensus in the screams of "squeak" and retreated in the direction they came from, and soon went far away.
More than a dozen points were lost just like that. I haven't figured out this copy yet, so I won't rush to kill. Zhang Yuanqing watched the shaking treetops go away, and confirmed that the monkey would not come back, and then looked at the tall and plump wood demon woman.
She looked a little embarrassed, but she was actually not hurt.
With the flexibility of the wood demon, as long as it is not surrounded by monkeys, there will be no danger.
"Sorry, I have implicated you. "
The wood demon girl patted the dirt off her body and smiled.
"It's a small matter!"
Zhang Yuanqing, with Wang Tai's face, pretended to be cool like Fu Qingyang, and replied coldly.
"I am from the Five Elements Alliance, my ID is Peony Fairy. What about you?" She introduced herself.
Peony Fairy? The ID is familiar. It's the female colleague who licked me during the online meeting. Zhang Yuanqing was stunned at first, and then a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the first spiritual walker he met in the killing copy was actually a colleague.
However, directly explaining the background will make you look too unvigilant. Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, still indifferent on the surface:
"Wang Tai!"
"Wang Tai." Peony Fairy chewed on the name and said sweetly:
"You are the Night Wanderer of Taiyi Sect, the wood demon is very sensitive to the breath of life, I know it is a Yin corpse. "
As an official member and a saint reserve, she has enough knowledge and experience.
She thought I was from Taiyi Sect, so she revealed her identity? Okay, I take back what I said just now. Zhang Yuanqing shook his head:
"I am a casual cultivator."
There are a total of 38 official members participating in this killing copy. The number is not large. If you remember the ID carefully, you will know that Wang Tai is no longer among them.
If he admits that he is from Taiyi Sect, it is equivalent to exposing himself. Of course, exposing himself does not matter.
Fairy Peony said "Oh", and I don't know whether she believed it or not.
She hesitated for a moment and invited him:
"There are many dangers in the dungeon. The lawful camp should help each other. If you don't mind, can you come with me?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yuanqing to answer, she threw out another condition:
"I plan to find Yuanshi Tianzun and other colleagues. If you follow me, you will be our companion."
If you knew that I was Yuanshi Tianzun, I wonder what your expression would be! Zhang Yuanqing was thinking this and said:
"Okay!"
Gathering colleagues was one of his goals, and gathering colleagues as Wang Tai could avoid the schemes of traitors to a certain extent.
After reaching an agreement, the Peony Fairy said hurriedly:
"We'd better leave quickly. It will be troublesome if those monkeys bring reinforcements."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, kept a relatively safe distance from the Peony Fairy, and walked forward together, saying:
"The combat power of those monkeys is not high."
The Peony Fairy looked serious: "No, that's because you didn't see the Monkey King."
"Monkey King?" Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but turn his head and look at the woman who was almost ten years older than him.
"Yes, it was a white monkey, no, more like an orangutan, about three meters tall, very scary, I suspect it has the strength of weak level 4." The Peony Fairy looked daunted.
Weak level 4 means stronger than extraordinary, slightly weaker than saint.
This kind of vague combat power only appears in props and copy bosses. The ghost bride Bai Lan is weak level 4.
The first small boss appeared. Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand to sweep away several thick vines and said:
"This dungeon is a bit strange. I haven't figured it out yet. Why don't we share information and see if we can find anything?"
The Peony Fairy nodded slightly and said:
"After I entered the dungeon, the task prompted me to start from the outer layer and head towards the middle according to the signboard."
Zhang Yuanqing echoed:
"It seems that everyone's side quests are the same. Well, what's written on the signboard?"
The Peony Fairy recalled and talked about the precautions on the signboard.
The first three items were exactly the same as what Zhang Yuanqing saw, but there was a problem with the fourth item.
"Four: Be careful of animals, especially monkeys."
Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"
The Peony Fairy asked in surprise, "Isn't yours?"
"My fourth item is: If you see other people in the forest, please don't look at him (her) in the eye." Zhang Yuanqing told his precautions without hiding anything.
He could not see any trace of lies in the Fairy Peony's micro-expressions. She should not be lying, otherwise this woman would be a movie queen.
The Fairy Peony frowned: "Why is this happening?"
Zhang Yuanqing walked forward while being alert to his surroundings and said:
"Two possibilities. First, the dangers encountered in different areas are different. Your sign reminds you to be careful of monkeys, so you encountered monkeys. My sign reminds me not to look at people, so I encountered people in the dungeon."
"Second, each sign gives different precautions, which is a hint that we can use rules to trap the enemy. People who enter the dungeon have mastered two rules of living in the jungle, which are weapons we can use.
"Of course, judging by the number of people, there should not be so many rules, and many people's rules are repeated. Based on this idea, perhaps gathering all the rules is one of the main lines of this dungeon. "
The Peony Fairy's eyes were full of astonishment. She looked up and down at the young man named Wang Tai and realized one thing.
- I picked up a treasure.
With such crude and simple information, he can analyze so many things. Whether it is right or not, she doesn't have such a sharp thinking ability anyway.
It can be seen that this young man named Wang Tai is very good at attacking dungeons.
He is a talent.
In addition to being surprised, the Peony Fairy also felt a little disappointed. Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhao Chenghuang, these top geniuses, She thought she couldn't reach it, but she didn't expect that a night wanderer she met by chance also had such outstanding abilities.
There may be many characters like this in the dungeon.
The Peony Fairy felt like a small town test-taker who came to the big city examination room, only to find that everyone here was a high-IQ academic master.
"By the way, the reason why I was chased by the monkeys was because I overheard them talking. I have a prop that can understand the language of animals. Those monkeys said that humans entered the forest again and they can't be allowed to get close..."
"Close to what?"
"I didn't hear it clearly. I was soon discovered by the monkeys."
Did you not hear it clearly or didn't want to say it? Can't get close to the middle of the forest?... Zhang Yuanqing didn't ask, but took the initiative to change the subject:
"There should be a fifth precaution."
There are five rules on his signboard.
The Peony Fairy said "um", "The fifth rule, if you see a climber who claims to be from the Lost City, don't talk to him and stay away immediately. "
After she finished speaking, she saw Wang Tai five meters away, and suddenly stopped, her face stiff.
Can't talk to the climbers from the Lost City, stay away immediately? In Zhang Yuanqing's mind, the word "fuck" floated back and forth!
At this moment, he felt a chill on his spine, and an inexplicable horror in his heart.
Just a while ago, he had just talked with an uncle from the "Lost City".
The Peony Fairy was obviously a smart young woman. Seeing this, she frowned and said, "Have you met a climber?"
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Zhang Yuanqing nodded with a heavy face and told her about the conversation with the middle-aged uncle.
The Peony Fairy's face suddenly changed slightly, and she silently moved a few meters away from him.
This woman! Zhang Yuanqing twitched the corner of his mouth and said lightly:
"At least I'm fine now, nothing happened. "
He didn't think that violating the rules of precautions would cause him to capsize. In the case of unequal information, he would make mistakes, and so would others.
Based on his understanding of the dungeon, this kind of trap with a high rate of stepping on the pit often does not bring direct and fatal damage.
It will either accumulate or require specific conditions to break out.
If this brings a fatal crisis, then half of the people in the dungeon should be dead by now.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing stopped and opened the scoreboard.
He first took a look at the total number of people and found that there were only 10 left in the dungeon. 174 Spirit Realm Walkers, six more have died since the last time.
It has only been an hour since entering the dungeon, and the death toll has reached nearly 10. The mortality rate is a bit high. Zhang Yuanqing did not relax because he had a smooth journey.
One hundred and seventy-four Spirit Realm Walkers wandering around in the primeval forest, maybe they will meet each other at any time, or, maybe they will encounter the boss at any time.
The Peony Fairy suddenly stopped and listened attentively. After a few seconds, she looked over and said in a deep voice:
"On our left side, about fifty meters away, there are Spirit Realm Walkers fighting."
In the forest, the perception of the wood demon can be maximized, comparable to the insight of the scout.
Fifty meters? Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said:
"I'll go over and take a look, you and my Yin corpse stay here. "
After the Peony Fairy nodded, he went out for a night walk, carefully avoiding the bushes, dead branches, and vines hanging from above, and quickly moved to the left.
Half a minute later, Zhang Yuanqing arrived at the battle site silently.
Before he had time to take a closer look at the two sides fighting, he heard a sinister laugh:
"A high school girl from the island country, let's fuck her."
