The firelight of the fireplace highlights the separation between the forest cabin and the eerie jungle.
"Villet Marvin." The knight tapped his chest armor.
"Yusup." The Conspiracy Spider Web God player showed off his charming and forced smile.
The old sewer front players who escaped were miserable and blackened, but the actual situation may be slightly better. Only their hair was burned. They were excluded from the comfortable and warm fireplace.
They thought it couldn't say anything. Then when it was ignored, it clumsily said in human language: "Lute thought, I thought you saved me...for elimination..."
Yusup did think so, but he didn't mean it.
Lu Li picked up the note pressed with a cup on the table: [Welcome to the third level. What you have to do is...]
The content is the same as the hand-drawn map at the end and the previous cabin in the woods.
The note was handed to Willett Marvin, who asked the same question as Lu Li: "The third level?"
Then he handed the note to Yusup, who was hostile not long ago: "You are the best at analyzing conspiracies."
"It doesn't smell like a conspiracy." Yusup didn't touch the note like a cleansing man. He glanced at it and said, "If it's not a typo, it must be traced back to the purpose above."
During the brief exchange, Lu Li stood on the wooden wall where the deer head specimen was hung. The dilapidated wooden signs on the wall were engraved with several precautions for the strange dense forest.
【Keep quiet and slow at all times, even in a cabin in the woods】
[Don’t stay in the forest hut for too short or too long. If you must do this, walk out slowly and don’t disturb them]
[If anything comes up that tries to lure you out of the cabin in the woods, ignore it. Whether it's your deceased loved one or the temptation of power]
【Your emotions will be sensed by the forest, like a tree, my friend】
[Also remember to replenish firewood, don’t let the people behind you have no firewood to burn. You can pick it up in the forest around the cabin, be careful not to attract too much attention]
The note explains why Root was attacked so quickly, and why the previous cabin intruder only lasted a few seconds.
The environment is unfavorable to Yusup. Conspiracy Spider Web God players are weaving webs all the time, and their heads are like ocean waves that never stop.
Knight's Creed has Willett Marvin look at Yusup and Root.
Yusup, who didn't like to watch, said helplessly: "Is this the spirit of the contract? I understand that I will not do anything to Mr. Lu Li and you."
It was Lute's turn, and he said in human language in a weird and awkward manner: "Lu Li... saved... Lute, Lute will not hurt... you."
The radiant golden contract mark appeared on Willet Marvin's armor, symbolizing the conclusion of the contract.
Lu Li was ready to leave at this time. He had no intention of actively eliminating other players, so the only way to get points was to reach the exit earlier than all the players.
It is impossible to tell whether the third level is followed by the second level or the end of the game.
"My companion is nearby, so I won't go with you."
There was no reason for Yusup's words. Willett Marvin was stunned for a moment and then looked at Lu Li: "Are you planning to leave now?"
"Um."
According to the scale and distribution of the forest huts on the map, there are 12 forest huts located about 30 miles away from the northern exit.
Throw away the forest huts that require a detour and try your best to go straight ahead, and there are still 7 huts left.
The price is to consume about 7 humanity. It is difficult to say whether it is worth it to exchange so much humanity for a cursed title.
Willett Marvin will leave with Lu Li. Surprisingly, Lu Te also chooses to follow.
Saying goodbye to Yusup, they left the forest cabin.
The power of [Tree Whisperer] can undoubtedly protect and heal those around him.
Root's charred and carbonized hair and clothes fell off as the skin healed, revealing new skin as rough as leather. The hair grew like weeds, and soon covered up the second pair of deformed arms curled up under his armpits.
They gradually moved away from the forest hut standing next to the terrifying giant tree. When they were about to disappear from sight, Willett Marvin's expression moved slightly.
A faint fire came into the forest cabin shortly after they left.
After bypassing a terrifying giant tree with a diameter of 100 meters, the last light of the forest house in the distance disappeared.
Three people like fireflies walked in a lonely, dark and scary forest.
Root's state had returned to what it was during the confrontation. Willett Marvin looked around, occasionally looking sideways when the glimmering sapling behind Lu Li sprouted another branch.
In the silence, the third forest hut appeared on the edge of the giant tree in front, located in the quiet forest.
This forest hut didn't seem to be occupied by any contestants. As we got closer, we found that the situation was a little different.
The still warm fireplace and the new footprints wandering around the cabin indicate that there were players staying not long ago.
"They set off to the north."
And it can be predicted that the same migration is happening in every forest cabin.
Willett Marvin's cooled emotions recovered. He recalled the scene he saw on the road and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency Lu Li, you... there is a notch on the trunk of the tree."
"Notch?"
The wooden house had no mirror, according to Willett Marvin's description. Lu Li summoned the businessman Anthony to bring a mirror.
The saplings shimmering with light reappeared. Looking at the reflection in the mirror, Lu Li saw a notch at the chest level of the elm saplings.
The projection formed by the release of the cursed title's power usually originates from the mind, but Lu Li did not have any impression of this sapling.
"If Themimas, the World Tree, was young..."
Willett Marvin was shocked by his conjecture.
Unfortunately, everything was just speculation. After a short stay, they left the still-warm forest hut and continued northward.
Twenty minutes later, the fourth forest hut that Lu Li encountered and the third forest hut that Willett Marvin and Root encountered appeared in front of them.
There, a confrontation is coming to an end
The five Noble Council contestants were blocked outside the forest hut. As time went by, their torches and lamps became dimmer, and a battle might occur at any time.
When they discovered the arrival of Lu Li and others, their caution soon turned into a surprise.
"Your Excellency Lu Li, we hope"
Another wave of invitations from players in the wooden house interrupted the noble council: "Please come in, Mr. Lu Li."
One minute later.
The three of them, Lu Li, five members of the Noble Council, and the four from the Giant Tree Academy who had arrived earlier, crowded into the forest hut.
The result was no surprise. The Giant Tree Academy was Lu Li's natural ally, and the five Noble Council players also reached a new alliance under the witness of Willett Marvin.
The team expanded to twelve people and prepared to move forward.
But if someone follows, someone will stay.
"My sanity can't hold on anymore..." A young nobleman leaned in front of the fireplace and whispered weakly: "If I go on any further, I might go crazy and hurt you. Don't worry about me, don't worry about me, I'll have a good sleep.
Then I’ll join the team behind me. If they want to eliminate me, I’ll give them points..."
Lu Li was silent. Low sanity was a long time ago for him.
