In the extreme darkness, a bonfire was crackling and burning.
Li Dan was roasting meat leisurely and contentedly. Next to him, there lay the corpse of a dead ancient king-level monster.
On the other hand, Chen Changjun and the other three looked around nervously.
"Lord, is this really okay? Are we being too ostentatious?"
"Yes, yes, we are not hungry anymore, why don't we put out the fire."
"Do you think we've stopped targeting him? My back is getting hairy."
The three of them were talking to each other in a sneaky way, which made Li Dan laugh.
But this time, the amount equivalent to 300,000 immortal jade was sensed by the three of them, and they stayed by the side with fear for a month. Li Dan was very moved.
The mood is also very good.
It's time to give them some benefits.
"Don't worry, the quality of the meat seems to be good. Try it and see. It is possible to extend your life and strengthen your body." Li Dan began to cut the meat for everyone.
When the three of them heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Taste it quickly.
Hey, it tastes really good!
Li Dan looked around, and there were no colored light spots around, indicating that it was very safe.
He has confidence in his heart.
After eating the meat, several people burped and seemed satisfied.
And nothing unexpected happened, which made the three people's trust in Li Dan reach its peak.
After resting for a while, they stepped into the darkness again.
And after a barbecue outdoors, they became bolder.
"Lord, why is there no light coming in this time?" Chen Changjun asked.
"This time we have to explore about three hundred miles. Now I'm afraid it's not even a hundred miles, and I don't plan to include it." Li Dan replied.
"Why is this?" Li Ergou asked.
Li Dan smiled: "A thousand miles of territory is enough for all of us. It's too big and dangerous."
The three of them didn't quite understand.
Li Dan didn't explain too much. For them, once occupied by other lords, they would really just become cannon fodder.
They may be taken inside and encounter great danger, and they may also be asked to test them, leaving them behind when escaping, etc.
There are not many lords who are kind-hearted and handsome like me.
"Is this foggy?"
He didn't know how long he had been walking. Li Ergou looked at the white mist around him and said doubtfully.
They didn't know when they walked into the fog, after all, the field of vision was only ten meters.
In the dark night, this mist appears hazy, as if covered with a strange veil.
"Be careful." Li Dan warned.
I looked around and saw that there were no colored lights, nor any undead creatures.
But the fog did appear a bit strange, and even he didn't notice it.
It seems that even if the hang is enabled, it is not useful at all times.
The four of them walked forward slowly. Li Dan was holding the golden holy sword in his hand, and the other two ancient imperial soldiers, the red blood demon spear and the copper divine clock, were suspended around him to prepare for any changes.
Until in front of them, five three-meter-high stone statues gradually appeared.
The stone statue is very large, and the face carved on it somewhat resembles that of a fox.
It seems to be worshiping something in a certain direction.
"It's a box, a golden box!" Chen Changjun immediately pointed excitedly at a box under the middle stone statue and shouted excitedly.
Li Dan also looked at it.
Sure enough, a golden box lay quietly underneath.
I have seen the bronze box and the silver box twice, but this is the first time I have seen the gold box.
There's good stuff in here.
However, Li Dan did not dare to act rashly, but looked around.
It’s so straightforward, are there any traps?
Sure enough, the next moment, an owl slowly appeared above the stone statue.
It has no color on its body.
So it is neither a monster nor an undead creature.
The more he came into contact with it, the more Li Dan became filled with awe of this darkness.
At this moment, the three of them quickly retreated behind Li Dan, swallowing nervously.
"Congratulations to this lord for finding the golden treasure chest. The number of golden treasure chests is limited, and only one will be released every hundred years. So far, there are 663 golden treasure chests in the entire Exile Land. Many lords have the chance to find it, but have no chance to take it.
This place originally had one gold, four silver and five chests, and a total of 3,200 lords were lucky enough to come here, but they only took away the silver chests, and now only the gold is left."
The owl spoke, and his voice was filled with age, the voice of the mosaic old man in the restaurant and the ghost ship.
Li Dan said nothing and continued to wait.
"If you want to take away the golden box, you need to answer a question for me first. If you are satisfied, you can take it away. If you are not satisfied, I will leave and descend to other places, waiting for the next lord to come."
Owl continued.
Li Dan said: "Please give me a question."
"Okay, what do you think of this dark place?" Owl asked.
Li Dan frowned. Does this mean the creator wants everyone's compliments?
Li Dan subconsciously wanted to praise it, it was so good, so crisis and opportunity coexisted, it was full of excitement and challenge.
But he stopped quickly, things can never be that simple.
After all, as it said just now, it went through more than 3,000 lords, but they only took away the silver box.
The answer may not be what it wants.
Since it's not a compliment, is it a point to mention a shortcoming?
That's even more impossible, it's simply flawless.
Moreover, he has only come into contact with places thousands of miles away, and so far he has not encountered even a single lord's territory, which shows how big it is.
The shortcomings you have racked your brains to come up with are probably just because you haven’t encountered them.
Li Dan pondered.
Then the solution lies in the mutual opposites in the darkness.
Lord? Monster? Undead creature? Or something else?
"Friendly reminder, you only have half a stick of incense and only one chance to answer!" the owl spoke.
Li Dan frowned and thought, and began to pace back and forth.
What answer does it want?
Is this an NPC or an intelligent creature?
Or the incarnation of the creator of the Exiled Lands?
He inadvertently looked at Chen Changjun and the other three whose eyes were shining and cheering him on.
Li Dan's heart moved.
They are living people, what is the significance of their being here?
They complement each other with the lord, but they can also be used as trophies, cannon fodder, and... friends!
After a long time, Li Dan looked at the owl.
He didn't know if this answer was correct or not. The main reason was that he was too short for time, so he left it ambiguous.
Anyway, I don’t quite understand, maybe you have your own guess.
Li Dan said: "During this period of time that I have experienced, when I look around in the dark, I see two kinds of creatures, one is a wolf and the other is a sheep."
After hearing this answer, the owl on the stone statue became interested.
Because so far, it has not heard such an answer.
Li Dan continued: "They follow the most basic law of survival. I thought it was the elimination law of wolves eating sheep and sheep eating grass, but sometimes when I take a closer look, wolves are not necessarily wolves, and sheep are not necessarily sheep."
"Oh, why is this?" Owl asked.
Li Dan thought of eight million lords, unimaginable groups of monsters, and all kinds of terrifying undead creatures.
There are all kinds of other unseen things.
What role do each of them play in such an ecosystem? Even he is a little confused sometimes.
He thought of the fifth continent.
Everyone rushes in happily, looking for their own opportunities, but in fact this is a trap set by the fifth continent itself.
It’s hard to say who took advantage of whom in the end.
Here, dangers and opportunities coexist, and even the qualifications to enter are limited. Not everyone has the opportunity to enter.
But as soon as you come in, there is an initial message here to know that there are territories, boxes, and other things.
Everything is like a different game.
It’s said that everyone comes here to improve themselves, but how many of them died here?
Speaking more broadly, who is the wolf and who is the sheep?
Among the various creatures in the dark territory, who is the wolf? Who is the sheep?
Li Dan said: "Because all wolves want to pretend to be sheep. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. The strange thing is that all sheep also want to pretend to be wolves. This is pretending to be a wolf with a big tail. True and false, false."
It’s really difficult to tell which one is the wolf and which one is the sheep.”
