Chapter 19 [Tracking]

Chapter 19 [Tracking]

Commander Wang is like a huge treasure, his attacks are painless and quick, making Master Zheng reluctant to leave.

[Intuition] is upgraded to "entering the room".

[Intuition (entering the house)] You have had a difficult life. When you were young, you experienced displacement and family destruction. You have a vigilance that is different from ordinary people, which can often make you aware of possible dangers.

The [intuition] of "entering the house" has been upgraded, and the triggering probability has increased from "occasionally" to "frequently".

【Investigation】Upgraded to "Small Achievements".

This trait improves very slowly because there is no limit on when it can be used. However, because it is not difficult to improve, Zheng Xiu is not depressed by this.

Just brush it up from time to time, and even the "meager" experience value can add up to a lot.

In addition to traits, among the basic attributes of the incarnation, [Footwork] has been upgraded from "Ten (Dexterity and Sensitivity)" to "Seventeen (Walking like the Wind)". Due to the weak foundation, the increase is huge.

[Strength] and [Physique] are slightly improved.

At this point, Zheng Xiu has completely escaped from the dilemma of "short-legged macho painter" and has advanced to a "high-speed macho painter", which is gratifying.

in addition.

When Zheng Xiu had nothing to do, he threw a [Medical] Judgment in the woods, and he found some grass roots and bark, which he could barely use for medicine.

After constantly picking up trash and accumulating experience points, [Medical Science] successfully advanced.

[Medical Science (Minor Achievement)] You were born in a Xinglin family, but your family fell into decline. Your parents died early and there was no time to pass on the mantle. You have learned basic medicine by yourself through the classics at home. You can easily treat superficial injuries and identify some wild herbs. You have learned how to make them.

Simple gold sore medicine.

[Golden Sore Medicine] Zheng Xiu also rubbed it, which is a bit embarrassing to say. To put it simply, he put some grass roots, bark, and wild herbs determined by [medical science] into his mouth, chewed them, mixed them, and patted them on a rag.

It’s done.

Not to mention, Zheng Xiu tried it on himself and found that it really had hemostatic and analgesic effects, but it was not very beautiful and looked like dog-skin plaster.

"I'm slacking off."

Looking back on the progress of the incarnation, Zheng Xiu secretly blamed himself.

Perhaps it was because dying in Wang Cangyun's hands was so easy and pleasant that Zheng Xiu was reluctant to leave such a treasured boy.

In comparison, Li Dachui, who was running rampant in official circles, was really a scumbag.

This ghost is like a huge treasure house, which makes Zheng Xiu linger and reluctant to move forward.

Perhaps it was because Mr. Zheng suffered from an occupational disease, so he finally managed to grab a piece of high-quality wool and tore it to death.

But today, the news of "release from prison" brought by Scar Laoliu made Master Zheng wary.

Mr. Zheng thinks that he is strong and unyielding and is not afraid of the hardships in prison.

What he is most worried about now is that if he is released from prison like this, his dreams for many years will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

"I will never let them ruin Zheng's good deeds."

Zheng Xiu made up his mind that I, Mr. Zheng, would stay in this prison.

Once again having his head chopped off comfortably, Zheng Xiu entered the ghost world again and returned to the save point at the beginning of the second act.

Things have changed and people have changed, and now [Zheng Shan]'s abilities are not what they used to be.

"Don't carry a knife on a rainy night."

Zheng Xiu laughed, threw away the knife, and rolled a few times in the mud, getting dirty all over.

After finishing the decoration and dressing himself up to look downcast, Zheng Xiu stepped into Baili Village.

Wang Cangyun must have an extraordinary background.

If there were any settings such as the Heavenly and Earthly Rankings in this world, Wang Cangyun would probably be at the forefront.

In front of such a person, Zheng Xiu with a knife would not only be unable to protect himself, but would only arouse the other person's ferocity.

This function is similar to the anti-wolf spray in modern society.

The little thief will not retreat because of being sprayed, but will say "What a coincidence, isn't this more exciting?"

Zheng Xiu was sure that this Baili Village seemed peaceful, but there must be something hidden inside.

He once tried to sleep in the jungle overnight, hoping to survive until dawn.

He died three times in total.

Once he was bitten to death by a mangy wolf that emerged from nowhere.

Once he was struck to death by thunder in the clear sky.

The third time, it was very strange. He was lying in the woods and fell asleep. He heard the sound of metal dragging. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he was pinched.

The pain that time left Zheng Xiu unforgettable for the rest of his life, and he did not dare to try again.

"Ghost, ghost, ghost, is there really something unclean?"

Several thoughts flashed through his mind, but Zheng Xiu was not sure.

Let’s talk after we go in.

The ghost is like a maze.

Zheng Xiu is a survivor, looking for the only way to survive in the maze.

Zheng Xiu deliberately lingered outside the village for a while to avoid Wang Cangyun's meal time.

At the right time, when the village chief was warmly greeting Wang Cangyun and his party with fish soup, Zheng Xiu sneaked into the village.

"That's right. When we used 'investigation' on the official road, the investigation result said that it will rain all night. Why did it stop just after entering the second act?"

Zheng Xiu habitually uses [Investigation].

But the words that appeared next made Zheng Xiu slightly stunned and quite surprised.

[As the sun sets in the west mountains, the villagers spend the night. At this moment, every village door is closed, and there is no one on the village road.]

[As you were wandering and helpless in Baili Village, you suddenly felt a chilling sight coming from behind you.]

【you……】

At this point in the text, Zheng Xiu quickly turned around.

Only then did the following words gather together like flying mosquitoes.

【......Don't dare to look back.】

A thin figure disappeared in the darkness.

With a quick glance, Mr. Zheng vaguely saw that the figure was a child in ragged clothes. His long, yellow hair covered most of his face. His eyes, ears, and nose could not be seen clearly, and only his dry lips were exposed.

"Trying to act like a kid?"

If in reality, in a mountain village at night, there was a child sneaking up behind him, it might make people feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

But in the midst of ghosts and ghosts, and to Zheng Xiu who has experienced nearly a thousand deaths, it is too early to say the word "fear".

Zheng Xiu chased after him.

The village road was straight, but the village was dark. The child was familiar with the village road and disappeared after turning a few corners.

Go through an investigation.

After being promoted to "Small Achievements", the points required for investigation and judgment dropped to ten points. Zheng Xiu casually took out the dice from his head and threw it away, and passed the twelve points easily.

The small success of [Investigation] only brought one piece of information to Zheng Xiu.

[You look down and feel relieved. It turns out that the theory of ghosts and gods really does not exist. You are scaring yourself. When the strange child left, he left a line of shallow footprints. 】

Um?

[Investigation] If we don’t mention it, Zheng Xiu, who is in the dark, incarnates as a tall cow and a big horse. The so-called footprints are actually dark under the lamp. The taller he grows, the less careful he is.

Zheng Xiu lay down.

The child's weight should be very light, just like its body shape. Even in the mud after rain, there are not many footprints left.

Zheng Xiu followed the footprints and walked around several village houses with closed doors. He finally found the right place and stood in front of a large black house.

There was a dilapidated stall in front of the house, and there was a wooden plaque on the door. However, due to the sun and wind, the writing was no longer legible. Zheng Xiu could vaguely distinguish the first character "phoenix" and the last character "pu".

It's a shop in a village or something.

Next to the door hung a square flag with a tattered cloth and the word "meat" written on it.

After an initial investigation.

Zheng Xiu figured out the name of this shop - Feng's Butcher Shop.

After walking around Feng's Butcher's Shop, the shop was a bit strange. The door was tightly closed and nailed shut with wooden bars from the outside. Zheng Xiu didn't find any more footprints.

At this time.

[You are self-taught, have a delicate mind, successfully track the traces of children, and understand the characteristic "tracking".]

[But when you realize it, you realize the bottleneck of being a human being.]

【Failure to comprehend.】

[You will realize it again before re-entering ‘Ghost · White Carp Village · Act 2’. 】

The twisted font turned into gray-black dust and dispersed before Zheng Xiu's eyes.

Zheng Xiu recalled the contents of the rule book.

The newly created incarnation has three initial qualities and a cap of five.

This is the "bottleneck" - the bottleneck of rules.

Who said there are too many prostitutes to overwhelm the body?

No, it's pressure.

When Zheng Xiu was hesitating whether to risk his "life" and rush in, a chill rose from Baihui point and went straight to the pimple on his forehead.

A room-level [intuition] trigger.

Following his [intuition] and looking back, Zheng Xiu's pupils suddenly shrank.

Behind him, the closed doors of the village houses were opened a crack at some point.

Behind the cracks in the door, pairs of hungry eyes stared directly at Zheng Xiu. Zheng Xiu couldn't help but think of the posture of a hungry dog ​​seeing bloody raw meat.

No matter how longing the villagers' eyes were, the surroundings were silent, and the strange contrast made Zheng Xiu feel extremely uncomfortable.

Gudong.

He swallowed.

Zheng Xiu felt that the villagers seemed to be greedy for his body...meat.

"Oh, this little brother has come all the way to Baili Village! This old man has missed his welcome! He has missed his welcome!"

The village chief took the lead, and his hurried footsteps made a snapping sound on the mud.

In the silence that made Zheng Xiu's body tremble, the village chief held a torch, followed by Wang Cangyun and his party, and came here.

“Just in time!”

Zheng Xiu was worried and didn't know how to reopen. Unfortunately, Zheng Xiu had an idea as soon as he saw Commander Wang and took the initiative to lead him to death.

【The provocation was successful.】

Wang Cangyun shouted loudly, and with the sword shining like lightning, he chopped off the head of the macho painter.

Painless and fast.

Wang Cangyun is very vigilant and doesn't speak much. Although it is an obstacle for Zheng Xiu to pass the ghost gate, it is just right for him to reopen now.

After being chopped back to reality by Commander Wang, it was almost noon. Master Zheng touched his stomach and found that he was not hungry for the time being. He took a sip of water to moisten his lips, changed to a more comfortable position on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes, and planned to

Another round.

By the way, let’s take a look at the effect of the [Tracking] trait.
