In front of you is a dark and deep underground passage, which is about half a person tall. You need to bend down to force yourself in.
After confirming that the location of the missing little girl Lin was indeed transmitted through here, Woody was not in a hurry to go down.
After all, there are still bullying monsters wandering around in the abandoned circus, although now he has perfectly deceived this group of magical creatures who are accustomed to using their minds to detect their opponents through telepathy.
But if there is a battle below, whether it is sound or feedback, it may disturb them.
Therefore, Woody planned to clear out the bully monsters on the outside one by one to avoid being attacked from both sides by the bully monsters after entering the tunnel.
But cleaning up also requires skill. Fighting hastily will only attract all the bullying monsters.
Woody still has no plans to fight one against many. Although he fights with two weapons and is not afraid of group battles, he always remembers the curse on the back of his neck. The rumors he heard during the bridge closure today are still fresh in his mind.
.
He can't be hurt!
So, Woody, who is naturally stable, started to repeat his old tricks, and also used his newly acquired telepathy to deceive the bullies.
But this time his purpose is to attract and lure the monster to the grave he chose for it.
…
In the empty and desolate old street, shadows shrouded the outlines of the buildings in a layer of darkness, making them appear increasingly depressed and lifeless.
At this moment, a huge dark shadow emerged from the entrance of the circus, and suddenly, like a cunning rabbit, it jumped into the darkness reflected by an abandoned wooden box on the street.
Then I saw a few more ups and downs, and the shadow jumped into the darkness of a residential house.
The house is not large, and part of it is covered by the collapsed roof fragments, leaving only a small open space in the southeast corner.
In the shadow reflected by the beams that had not yet collapsed, an insect-like head with plant roots and black thorns growing under its skin suddenly poked out - it was attracted by the call of its kind.
Being quite intelligent, it was still curious about what it was.
However, when it saw another corner of the hut that had not collapsed, where its companion was struggling to remain motionless with a human holding a sword, it immediately understood.
Humans!
The humans they love most.
If human mating activities are for the purpose of procreating offspring, then bully monsters will also have this desire after seeing humanoid creatures.
The bully monster will transform humanoid creatures through hours or days of mental torture, thereby creating more of its own kind.
"Hurry, I can't hold on any longer."
The signal sent to it by its companions has become urgent, which means that it should attack this human quickly.
Although the Lingwei Monster doesn't quite understand why his companions don't have to escape into the shadows, they can also see that they are already in a state of anxiety. With just a little help from it, the balance of the battle will fall on their side.
My luck has been really good recently. First, a little human girl came. Although I couldn't catch the two sahuagins, but now a human boy comes, which is good.
This time they are adding two more of their kind.
The bully monster was thinking as he used the shadow to approach the human who was in a corner fighting with his kind.
But when it approached and emerged from the dark night again to attack, it suddenly froze.
Because in a dark and dilapidated hut, the scene of human beings standing in a stalemate with their companions is just an appearance, viewed from the side.
The body of the bully monster was leaning limply on two thick branches, while the human looked like he was trying hard to maintain himself.
Did it fall into a trap?
Are the same kind already dead?
With its quick thinking, it immediately discovered that this was a trap aimed at it, but who sent the telepathic message?
But before it could figure it out, the dust in the hands of the human holding the sword turned into blazing light.
It already knows the answer.
But it's of no use now.
Its figure in the shadows was completely revealed by the light that filled the entire cabin.
At the same time, there was a cold light that was even more dazzling than the light.
The long sword swept across, the blade heading towards its center.
The rickety and twisted spirit had no way out at this moment.
Based on its uncomplicated combat experience, it first tried to confuse with illusions, and then used its hands to parry.
Simple and effective.
The long sword was parried down, and its illusion also worked.
But the next second, as the human's body rushed forward, a cold light appeared with the arrival of the human's elbow in front of him.
It only felt a pain in its jaw, accompanied by severe pain, until its vision went dark, and its consciousness fell into darkness.
…
"The shadow ambush was launched successfully and hit the vital parts successfully."
"Thrust activates."
"Successful thrust*4, causing 25 (+4) fatal damage to the target."
"Target is dead."
"Successfully killed the bully monster and gained 112 experience points."
Woody pulled out the long-edged dagger inserted into the bully's head without wiping off the blood on it, and began to clean up the mess after the war.
This is already the fifth one he has seduced by repeating his old tricks.
Another one will clear out all the bullying monsters wandering around the circus.
The smoothness of pulling monsters was beyond his expectation.
After all, bullies are not considered social creatures in some respects. They only like to gather together when they torture people.
They usually hide in their own corners, meditating on all kinds of strange, terrifying and frightening hallucinations, which they can use when torturing prey in the future.
Therefore, he only needs to give a small call, such as discovering a brand new "human being" to be developed.
It is possible to seduce these bullies who usually look like "dead nerds" but can't control their evil thoughts of torturing human beings all the time.
All he has to do now is just follow the steps.
However, when cleaning up the body this time, Woody discovered something he had never found before, that is, the bully in front of him actually had a brass ring hanging on a necklace.
Although some of the valuable monsters he killed still had some of the residents' clothing on them, and he knew that they might be transformed bullies, but this was Woody's first time to harvest accessories from them.
He took the ring from the bully monster's body and examined it.
The brass ring is like a thumb ring, and is relatively wide, cold and heavy to the touch, and is engraved with occult carvings on the outside.
Woody felt the unusualness of this ring just by looking at it. After careful observation, he was even more surprised when he read the name behind the inner circle.
Because the name carved on it in Common Language is the cover of the black diary that Woody got in the drawer of the circus cabin.
Brendan Fraser.
The unlucky circus leader who came to the old street and rented the venue through the circus's animal training to carry out the work of digging for treasures.
Just after Woody said the name, the brass-colored ring emitted a faint magical light.
A small space of less than one cubic meter that he carried with him appeared in Woody's perception.
"Dimensional ring?"
This really surprised Woody.
After all, he never thought that he would be able to harvest magical items worth at least 500 gold coins this time when he entered the old street. Among them, the most sought-after dimensional ring, which can be put into, was the most sought-after item.
If you sell this dimensional ring on the black market, it will at least double its value.
After all, this ring is not as easy to break as the dimensional bag. Although the space is a little smaller, it is more stable and difficult to lose.
Woody tried to explore inside with his consciousness, and found that there was something else inside.
But they were all magic props...
Woody probably knows what the circus ringmaster relies on for his special skills.
But after Woody took out everything in the ring, he saw an eye-catching box among a pile of small miscellaneous items.
The box is larger than a palm, but extremely delicate. It is a bone product made of ivory.
At first glance, it seemed that he was very protective of it. Woody unscrewed the lock and opened the box.
I found a stack of thin cards placed on the yellow cushioned silk inside the wooden box.
The card is face up, made of air-dried and hard sheepskin, with exquisite stars and arcane runes painted on the back.
After Woody saw it, his pupils shrank slightly.
Because he had obtained these cards in his previous life.
This is...a collector's favorite, an illusionist's favorite, and a gamer's toy.
