The forest was dark and humid, and there was a damp smell of wood in the air. Lu Qing walked on the muddy ground, choosing a dry place to stay as much as possible.
You must pay attention to your steps when walking in this forest, because the road here is not easy to walk, not only because the ground is wet, but also because there are far more tree roots than in a normal forest, entrenched on the surface.
The light in the forest is very dark and it is easy to trip over tree roots.
Of course, Lu Qing will not trip over these tree roots. This is not just because of her very fine control of her body.
[Skill Wild Walking·Forest proficiency increased by 20%!]
[Current skills are: Wild Walking·Forest 60%]
"Um?"
Lu Qing, who was walking, was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal.
[Walking in the Wild Forest] This skill was acquired by Lu Qing in his first dream, from the oral teaching of the old priest, and later through Lu Qing's own practice.
Lu Qing still remembers many of her original theories and experiences even now, and these memories are gradually being restored as she walks in the forest.
At this time, about ten minutes had passed since she summoned Wein. She asked Wein to explore the road ahead and tell her if she found anything.
Unfortunately, it is unknown whether it is because the trees in the forest are too dense. Until now, Wein has not found anything.
Lu Qing was naturally the same. It was strange. After walking for more than half an hour, he didn't encounter a single living thing. As for plants, Lu Qing did see a lot of blood-red mushrooms crawling on the roots of trees.
Of course Lu Qing would not approach something that looked suspicious, so just in case, she kept a long distance away from the mushrooms.
"rustle........"
The wind blew through the woods, moving a branch, and the sound of leaves rubbing against each other reached his ears. Lu Qing's leather boots slowly stepped on a fallen leaf, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
This forest is so quiet. Although nothing appears in the field of vision, it makes people feel fear inexplicably.
She was walking intently, but without paying attention, she tripped over something under her feet.
"Ah woo~" Lu Qing was startled by something that suddenly appeared under her feet, and couldn't help but let out a cute cry.
Quickly regaining her footing, she looked behind her and saw the thing that tripped her - it was a corpse.
That's right, this is a corpse, clearly placed on the ground. Lu Qing didn't even see it when she just walked by.
Somewhat cautiously, Lu Qing approached the corpse and carefully observed its appearance.
This corpse looks like it has been dead for a while. Not only does it exude corpse odor, but there are also a lot of corpse spots on the body. The skinny muscles and dark skin make it look like tree roots on the ground.
.
"Hey, lady, you just kicked me." Suddenly, the body lying on the ground suddenly opened its mouth and said.
"Um!!"
The corpse suddenly spoke, which frightened Lu Qing. His body subconsciously took a step back, but he tripped over a tree root on the ground and sat down on the ground.
"Oh, don't be afraid, lady, I won't hurt you." A smile appeared on the corpse's pitch-black face.
"I was just frightened by your sudden words." Lu Qing said casually, standing up while speaking.
She originally thought it was just a corpse, but she didn't expect it to speak suddenly. In addition, she was observing the corpse carefully just now, so she was shocked.
This reminded her of a secondary goal.
[Talk to the corpse]
You can tell what this secondary goal means just by looking at the name, but if you put it this way, has she already completed the goal at this time?
Lu Qing was thinking this, but she didn't see the message that the secondary goal was completed flashed on the notice board, so she stopped thinking about it and concentrated on talking to the corpse in front of her.
"Are you still alive?" Lu Qing looked at the corpse and asked.
"What do you think?" the corpse asked.
Lu Qing didn't speak, she just looked at the corpse silently. She didn't know why, but when she saw the corpse, she felt inexplicably relieved.
After realizing this, Lu Qing silently increased her vigilance. Although the [Danger Perception] skill did not detect anything, the proficiency of this skill was not very high in the first place, and she was more willing to believe than to believe in the skill.
Have some brains of your own.
The corpse waited for a while, but could not wait for Lu Qing's answer. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:
"Oh well, it seems you don't want to answer this question."
"How about this? As long as you answer my question, I will tell you a question you want to know. How about this?" The corpse stretched out its withered fingers and suggested.
"Okay." Lu Qing did not choose to refuse this time. She just answered a question. If there were benefits, she was still willing to try.
"I think you are alive." Lu Qing said.
"Why?"
"Because you are talking to me and you have your own consciousness, I feel like you are alive."
"Well...it is indeed a good reason." The corpse seemed to be somewhat satisfied and nodded, and then said: "Very good, you answered my question, so now, you can ask me a question
.”
"Well..." Lu Qing thought for a while, and then said: "Do you know how to get out of this forest?"
"This is a good question, please let me think about it..."
For some reason, the corpse's voice suddenly became hoarse when he spoke. His voice began to become lower and then became hoarse.
The voice of the corpse gradually disappeared, and when the last word "coat" was said, the corpse stopped moving.
In fact, in the last paragraph, Lu Qing heard less than one word, because the sound of the corpse was too quiet at that time. Although she put her ear to it in time, she still missed one word.
After pushing the corpse with a wooden spear and confirming that it had no reaction and that it was completely a corpse, Lu Qing left the place.
As for the answer given by the corpse, no, it should be said that the hint is more correct.
Lu Qing couldn't think of anything in a short time. He thought there must be something missing, maybe it was related to the secondary goal.
No longer thinking about these things, Lu Qing shook her head, and then continued to move towards the west.
