The sound floated over with the wind, accompanied by the "rustling" of the branches and leaves, which was a little ethereal and weird.
It was really scary to hear someone calling me suddenly in a dark forest where sunlight cannot penetrate.
How long had he been walking before he encountered danger? Unable to respond, Zhang Yuanqing did not expect to encounter the danger mentioned on the notice board so quickly. He kept moving forward without stopping, pretending that he did not hear the call from behind.
But out of curiosity, he controlled the blood rose and looked back.
The scene behind him was a bit scary. I could see towering ancient trees, swaying and creaking wildly in the wind, like giants baring their teeth and claws.
The calls came from the layers of branches and leaves, but no one could be heard but the sound.
Zhang Yuanqing controlled Blood Rose to turn her head back and continue moving forward.
"rustle."
After walking on the dirt covered with rotting leaves for several minutes, the calling behind me finally stopped.
"It seems that as long as you don't respond, there will be no danger. As far as the current situation is concerned, the precautions on the notice board are credible. In this case, the real crisis will occur after arriving in the central part?"
Zhang Yuanqing was thinking as he walked.
According to the setting of 3 points per person, the proportion of dungeons in the killing dungeon is still very heavy. In this case, this dungeon is by no means simple.
There must be a lot of murderous intent.
But the main line is the surviving dungeons, all of which have a unified urine character. They won’t give too many hints and you need to explore on your own.
[Ding! "Yulong Ninth Layer" has died (the bewitched demon), the standings have been reset, please check carefully. 】
[Ding! "The God of White Elephant" has died (Wood Demon), the standings have been reset, please check carefully. 】
[Ding! "Piledriver" has died (Fire Master), the standings have been reset, please check carefully. 】
"Someone died so soon?"
Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly opened the standings and found that the total number of people had changed to 180. His ranking had not changed, still 73rd, which meant that the three dead walkers were ranked below him.
It is worth mentioning that the first place has changed from Zhao Chenghuang to Solo, with 9 points.
The second place, Zhao Chenghuang, scored 6 points.
The points of the others remain unchanged.
"Among the three walkers who died, one happened to be an evil profession. If they were all killed by 'Only One', that would be exactly nine points. And if this guess is correct, then the increase in Zhao Chenghuang's points comes from the dungeon."
From what I have observed so far, there is no source of increasing points around me. Don't worry, the dungeon has just started, and the points ranking in the early stage is meaningless. Zhang Yuanqing turned to thinking about the "only one" person.
Kill lawful evil together. This guy is obviously biased towards chaos. As he goes deeper, the possibility of him encountering others increases greatly, and here, the possibility of encountering official colleagues is one in five.
Considering that Dark Night Rose has officially placed two or five sons,
Zhang Yuanqing decided to hide himself first, and he took out a rarely used prop - a disguise ring.
Putting on the ring, he raised his palm to cover his face and kneaded it gently. His handsome facial features became distorted like a phantom, and then turned into a mediocre face.
Wang Tai!
If you want to hide yourself well, neither being too handsome nor too ugly is not enough. I have to say that someone as ordinary as Wang Tai, thrown into a crowd, is like turning on the appearance of invisibility, which is very suitable.
He had just finished his disguise when his ears moved and he heard the sound of heavy footsteps breaking dead branches not far to the left.
He immediately turned around and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man wearing black mountaineering clothing and carrying a mountaineering bag. He was walking with his head buried in a wooden stick in his hand.
No, it was a character in the dungeon. Zhang Yuanqing immediately remembered the precautions about not making eye contact with others, and immediately moved the focus of his eyes away.
At the same time, he opened his mouth to test:
"Hello, uncle, I am a tourist from outside the mountains and I am lost."
"A tourist from outside the mountain?" The middle-aged man walked quickly, "Are you from outside the mountain? Tell me how to get out of the mountain. Tell me quickly. Tell me quickly."
Zhang Yuanqing glanced down at a 45-degree angle and couldn't see the other person's expression, but judging from his voice, the middle-aged man seemed very excited and excited when he heard that he was from outside the mountain.
"I'm sorry, I'm lost and I'm still looking for a way out." Zhang Yuanqing responded.
Hearing this, the light in the middle-aged man's eyes extinguished instantly, turning into disappointment and frustration, and he said sadly:
"I have been trapped in the mountains for six days. All my companions have been separated. I don't know how long I can hold on. I can't find a way out. The whole city will be trapped in the mountains and die."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing knew that the plot was coming.
"Uncle, what do you mean, there is a city in the mountains?" he asked.
The middle-aged man nodded, then sighed:
"It's not that there is a city in the mountains, it's that this mountain shouldn't exist."
Zhang Yuanqing maintained his downward glance and said:
"I'm a foreigner and I don't understand much. Can you tell me something?"
The middle-aged man seemed tired from walking. He leaned against a tree and sighed:
"About two months ago, a mountain suddenly appeared outside the city where I live. The mountain was like an iron barrel, surrounding the city. We couldn't find the way out, and the communication equipment was useless.
"Everyone has been in the city for two months. Food and drinking water gradually ran out, and order began to become chaotic. Robbery, murder, and bullying began.
“Seeing that they could not wait for rescuers to enter the city, in order to survive, the survivors organized four teams and set off from four different directions to find a way out of the mountain and ask for help from the outside world.
"The team I am in is responsible for exploring southward. We all have rich experience in surviving in the wild. The ordinary barren mountains and ridges cannot trap us. But who would have thought that something would happen to the team on the first night after entering the forest?"
South? The location I am currently in is the south of the Lost City. Zhang Yuanqing confirmed the direction and asked:
"What happened?"
The middle-aged man showed a look of horror, as if he had been reminded of horrific memories, and said:
"That night, one of the team members went missing.
"According to people in the same tent as him, that night, the missing team member said that he heard someone calling him, and the voice seemed to be his mother who had been dead for many years.
"But my companions in the same tent didn't hear anything. After trekking all day, everyone was very tired, so my companions didn't pay attention and fell asleep deeply. The next morning, we found that the man was missing."
My mother who has been dead for many years is calling me. Does this copy have supernatural elements? It may also be a hallucination. The missing person must have responded to the call before disappearing.
Zhang Yuanqing was thinking in his mind and asked: "Have you ever looked for him?"
The middle-aged man nodded:
"The next morning, the captain organized everyone to search for him for a long time, but they couldn't find him. We had a mission and limited food and drinking water, so we had to abandon him and continue on the road.
"We identified the direction and headed south. At dusk, we found a place to camp. The captain arranged for everyone to collect branches to make a fire. I was picking up branches when suddenly there was a scream. I rushed to check with everyone and found a team member paralyzed.
Sitting under an old tree, pointing at the tree while trembling all over, I was almost frightened."
When he said this, the middle-aged man's expression became more and more frightened, and his face turned a little pale. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuanqing could not see all this.
He said:
"That tree has a human face, it's the companion who disappeared last night."
The companion's face grew into the tree? This is more underworld than a ghost story, so the real danger in the forest is the tree? Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought of something and said:
"Uncle, I went into the mountains and saw someone setting up a sign outside. Was it you who put it up?"
The middle-aged man was stunned: "What sign?"
Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank.
PS: The number of words in this chapter is shorter, and I will make up for it in the next chapter. I was thinking about the plot while writing today, and I went swimming in the afternoon (to treat my cervical spine), so I coded slowly.
Swimming is indeed a magical medicine for treating cervical spondylosis. After swimming for three days, I feel that my cervical spine is much more flexible.
