The item information on the notice board clearly shows that someone from the Lost City was standing there. Why doesn’t this uncle know?
Set up by other teams? Uncle’s lost teammates?
By the way, that sign itself is weird. It is already in the outer area of the virgin forest, which means that the person who put up the sign is about to leave the mountain.
Does not comply with copy settings.
In the introduction to the spiritual realm, it is clearly written that people in the city are trapped, and those who go into the mountains to explore encounter a big crisis. Theoretically speaking, they should not leave the mountains so quickly, otherwise this setting will seem useless.
Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and said without stopping:
"You just said that a human face grew on the tree, and it was your missing team member. What happened next?"
The middle-aged man replied:
"We were all frightened at the time. We had never encountered such a situation before. Finally, the captain suggested cutting down the tree to see what was going on."
Aren't you seeking death? Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart, and as expected, he heard the middle-aged man say with fear:
"Then something happened. As soon as the captain struck the axe, the tree trunk began to bleed, like a human being. The human face suddenly opened its eyes and cried out in pain. The sound was miserable and terrifying. I still can't forget it.
.
"The team leader was also frightened and did not dare to cut any more. Just when we were at a loss, the team members in the tree trunk suddenly looked at us viciously and shouted: Eat them all, eat you all
"Then, the surrounding trees suddenly seemed to come alive. There was no wind, but the branches moved like hands. We were so scared that we ran away."
Zhang Yuanqing said: "So, they ran away?"
The middle-aged man shook his head:
"That happened later. We didn't even dare to camp that night, so we traveled all night. At dawn, we encountered a group of monkeys."
"monkey?"
"Yes, that's a man-eating monkey." The middle-aged man's voice was low, fear mixed with hatred:
"One member of the team failed to escape in time and was eaten by a monkey. I saw with my own eyes that the group of animals swarmed up like jackals eating their prey. My companion and I were separated during the escape."
Zhang Yuanqing looked at the dead branches at the uncle's feet and tried to extract as much information as possible:
"Uncle, what do you know about this mountain forest?"
The middle-aged uncle shook his head:
"This mountain forest appeared out of thin air. I only know that it is very dangerous. Before us, some people tried to climb over this forest and escape from the prison."
"But none of them ever came back. Hopefully they've found their way out."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man said:
"Young man, I'm leaving. Find my companions and find a way out of the mountain. I also hope you can leave here as soon as possible. Remember, the trees here can eat people, so be careful. They are afraid of knives and fire. When in danger,
Remember to protect yourself.
"Also, watch out for monkeys!"
Watching the middle-aged man leave and disappear deep into the woods, Zhang Yuanqing withdrew his gaze and summarized and refined the conversation just now.
"Outer area, known dangers: trees and monkeys. According to the uncle, the member was confused by the call, so he disappeared, and then appeared in the tree. Does this mean that the call was actually tree hair?
from."
"Summary: You can avoid danger by ignoring the shouts. Trees are afraid of fire and knives, but you can only fight hard when encountering monkeys."
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes suddenly lit up.
Can I earn points by cutting down and burning trees?
If this is the case, then with the vast area of this primeval forest, he can make a lot of money.
"Obviously that's not right. It's too simple. Maybe not all trees are dangerous. The tree that can eat people is hidden in the forest. Only by killing it can you get points."
Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and suddenly frowned:
"The sign was put up by people from the Lost City, telling me not to use knives and flames in the woods, but the uncle from the Lost City also told me that trees are afraid of knives and fire, implying that I can use them to protect myself if necessary.
They contradict each other.”
In his experience, contradiction means there is a hidden plot that needs to be explored.
There were too few clues, so overthinking was no different. Zhang Yuanqing continued to walk deeper into the dense forest, with Blood Rose opening a path ahead. Although he could no longer use a knife, it was meaningless to open a path.
But when danger comes, Blood Rose, who is walking in front, can block the knife for him.
After walking like this for half an hour, Zhang Yuanqing heard a dense "squeaking" sound coming from his left hand side, accompanied by the "squeaking" sound of the wind blowing the treetops.
He followed the sound and saw that the forest was shaking constantly, and there were faintly strong monkeys jumping and climbing among the treetops, chasing the prey below.
The prey galloped through the primeval forest with thick bushes and hanging vines. The speed was surprisingly fast, and the speed was not affected by the complicated terrain.
The monkeys were leaping on the treetops with great agility, but they were unable to catch up with their prey for a while.
It's so fast and agile, is it a wood demon? Zhang Yuanqing didn't see the person, but he had already made a judgment.
Finally, as the rustling sound got closer and closer, he saw a tall woman with good looks emerging from the bushes on the left.
He is about thirty years old, wearing loose black trousers, a green jacket, a bun, and a pair of running shoes.
She has a beautiful and charming oval face, long legs, plump breasts that support her jacket, and a very slender waist.
After the woman got out of the bush, they met each other. Her expression suddenly changed, she stopped hastily, stared at Blood Rose and Zhang Yuanqing, and put on a defensive posture.
"Wow~"
At this time, the monkeys on the treetops were chasing after them. Some of them pounced on the oval-faced woman, while others continued to jump on the treetops, reaching the tops of Zhang Yuanqing and Blood Rose, and pounced down menacingly.
They are up to one meter long and covered with thick black hair. They have a stocky body and long arms with muscles.
Fuck, there is no such thing as a disaster. Zhang Yuanqing turned half sideways, lowered his upper body, and kicked his right foot upwards.
"boom!"
The soles of his feet collided firmly with the black-haired monkey's chest. He felt that the opponent's chest was as tough as leather and as heavy as a boulder, but there was no such hearty feeling of impact.
Then he knew that his kick could not cause much harm to the monkey.
Sure enough, the monkey fell to the ground and immediately got up, leaning on the ground with both arms, half jumping and half running towards him.
Zhang Yuanqing calmly took out the bloodthirsty blade, held the tip of the blade, and threw it hard.
"puff!"
The bloodthirsty blade turned into silver light and was nailed to the black-haired monkey's chest.
Thump thump thump. Zhang Yuanqing galloped forward, jumped up, kicked the handle of the knife, and sent the 40-centimeter bloodthirsty blade into the monkey's chest.
The black-haired monkey fell to the ground suddenly, its legs twitched a few times, and soon lost its breath of life.
Although the sign says that props cannot be used, Zhang Yuanqing believes that as long as trees and vines are cut down without a knife, nothing will happen.
[Ding! You killed a mountain monkey and got 1 point.]
On the other side, Blood Rose grabbed the monkey's throat with one hand and threw it to the ground. Then she knelt on its chest with one knee and raised her right fist high.
Straight punch down.
The head of the black-haired monkey exploded instantly, and brain tissue and blood-stained bones were scattered everywhere.
[Ding! You killed a mountain monkey and got 1 point.]
The achievements of the Inferi are counted against the owner.
Blood Rose's pupils turned scarlet, and after taking a light breath, blood mist evaporated from the black-haired monkey and poured into her nose.
The aura of this infernal corpse surged, and it seemed to have become stronger.
"Zhizhi~"
The monkeys on the tree seemed frightened and screamed non-stop. A few monkeys who originally wanted to kill their prey grabbed the branches in panic and barely managed to prevent themselves from falling.
Then, they reached an agreement amidst the screams of "Zhi Zhi", retreated in the direction from which they came, and soon disappeared.
More than ten points were lost like this. I haven’t understood this copy yet, so I’m not in a hurry to go on a killing spree. Zhang Yuanqing watched the trembling treetops go further away, making sure that the monkey would not come back, and then looked at the man
Tall and plump wood demon woman.
She looked a little embarrassed, but in fact she was not hurt in any way.
With the wood demon's flexibility, as long as it is not surrounded by monkeys, there will be no danger.
"Don't worry, I'm hurting you."
The wood demon woman patted the dirt on her body and smiled.
"Little things!"
Zhang Yuanqing faced Wang Tai's face and pretended to be cool as Fu Qingyang, and replied coldly.
"I am a member of the Five Elements Alliance, Spirit Realm ID, Peony Fairy. What about you?" She introduced herself.
Peony Fairy? The ID looks familiar. She was the female colleague who kept licking me during the online meeting. Zhang Yuanqing was stunned at first, and then a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the first person he met in the killing dungeon would be a colleague.
However, telling the background directly will show that your vigilance is too low. Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, but his surface remained cold:
"Wang Tai!"
"Wang Tai." Fairy Peony chewed the name and said sweetly:
"You are the Night Wandering God of Taiyi Sect, right? The wood demon is very sensitive to the breath of life. I know it is an inferi."
As an official member of the Saint Reserve, she has enough knowledge and experience.
She thought I was from the Taiyi sect, so that’s why she identified myself? Okay, I take back what I just said. Zhang Yuanqing shook his head:
"I am a casual cultivator."
There are a total of thirty-eight official members participating in this killing dungeon, which is not a large number. If you memorize the IDs carefully, you will know that Wang Tai is not among them.
If he admits that he is a Taiyi sect person, it would be tantamount to exposing himself. Of course, it doesn't matter if he exposes himself.
The Peony Fairy said "Oh", not sure whether she believed it or not.
She hesitated slightly and invited:
"There are many crises in the dungeon, and the lawful camps should help each other. If you don't mind, can you go together?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yuanqing to answer, she threw out another condition:
"I plan to find Yuanshi Tianzun and other colleagues. If you follow me, you will be our companions."
If you knew that I was Yuanshi Tianzun, I don’t know what your expression would be! Zhang Yuanqing had this intention and said:
"Can!"
Recruiting colleagues is one of his goals, and summoning colleagues as Wang Tai can, to a certain extent, avoid the plans of Er Wu Zai.
After reaching an agreement, the Peony Fairy hurriedly said:
"We'd better leave quickly. If those monkeys move in to reinforce us, we'll be in trouble."
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, kept a relatively safe distance from Fairy Peony, walked forward together, and said:
"Those monkeys are not very powerful."
Fairy Peony looked serious: "No, that's because you haven't seen the Monkey King."
"Monkey King?" Zhang Yuanqing resisted turning his head and looked at the woman who was almost ten years older than him.
"Yes, that is a white monkey, no, more like an orangutan. It is about three meters tall. It is very scary. I suspect it is weak to level 4." Peony Fairy looked fearful.
Weak by level 4 is stronger than extraordinary and slightly weaker than saint.
This kind of vague combat power will only appear on props and dungeon bosses. Ghost Bride Bailan is weak at level 4.
The first mini-boss appeared. Zhang Yuanqing swept away a few thick vines with his hand and said:
"This copy is a bit strange. I haven't figured it out yet. Why don't we share the information and see what we find out."
Fairy Peony nodded slightly and said:
"After I entered the dungeon, the mission prompted me to start from the outer layer, follow the notice board, and proceed to the middle."
Zhang Yuanqing echoed:
"It seems that everyone's side missions are the same. Well, what's written on the sign?"
The Peony Fairy recalled and mentioned the precautions on the notice board.
The first three items were exactly the same as what Zhang Yuanqing saw, but there was something wrong with the fourth item.
"Four: Be careful of animals, especially monkeys."
Zhang Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"
Fairy Peony asked in astonishment: "Isn't it yours?"
"My fourth rule is: if you see other people in the forest, please don't look at him or her." Zhang Yuanqing told his own precautions without hiding anything.
He couldn't see any trace of lies in Fairy Peony's micro-expression. She shouldn't have lied, otherwise this woman would be a movie queen.
Fairy Peony frowned: "Why is this happening?"
As Zhang Yuanqing moved forward, he was alert to his surroundings and said:
"Two possibilities. First, the dangers encountered in different areas are different. Your notice board reminds you to be careful of monkeys, and you encounter monkeys. And my notice board reminds me not to look at people, and I encounter the monkey in the dungeon.
people."
"Second, the precautions given by each notice board are different. This is a hint to us that we can use the rules to trick the enemy. People who enter the dungeon have mastered two rules for living in the jungle. This is what we can use
arms.
"Of course, judging by the number of people, there shouldn't be that many rules. Many people's rules are repeated. Based on this idea, maybe gathering all the rules will be one of the main lines of this copy."
Fairy Peony's eyes were full of astonishment. She looked up and down at the young man named Wang Tai and realized something.
——I found a treasure.
With such crude and simple information, she can analyze so many things, right or wrong? Let’s not talk about it. She doesn’t have this kind of sensitive thinking ability anyway.
It can be seen that this young man named Wang Tai is very good at conquering dungeons.
What a talent.
Fairy Peony was pleasantly surprised, but also a little disappointed. She thought that top geniuses such as Yuanshi Tianzun Zhao Chenghuang were beyond her reach, but she did not expect that a night wandering god she met by chance also had such outstanding abilities.
There may be many more characters like this in the copy.
The Peony Fairy was a problem solver in a small town and came to the examination room in a big city, only to find that everyone here was full of high IQ academics.
"By the way, the reason why I was chased by a group of monkeys was because I overheard them talking. I have a tool that can understand the language of animals. Those monkeys said that humans have entered the forest again and they cannot be allowed to come close...
…”
"Close to what?"
"I didn't hear clearly. I was quickly discovered by the monkeys."
Did you not hear clearly or didn’t want to say it? Can’t you get closer to the middle of the forest? Zhang Yuanqing did not ask further questions, but instead took the initiative to change the topic:
"There should be a fifth note."
His sign has five rules.
The Peony Fairy said "Hmm" and said, "Principle 5, if you see a hiker claiming to be from the Lost City, please do not talk to him and stay away immediately."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Wang Tai five meters away. He suddenly stopped and his face became stiff.
Can't talk to the climbers from the Lost City and stay away immediately? The word "fuck" floated back and forth in Zhang Yuanqing's mind!
At this moment, he felt a chill running down his spine and an inexplicable horror in his heart.
Not long ago, he had a conversation with an uncle from the "Lost City".
Fairy Peony was obviously a smart young woman. When she saw this, she frowned and said, "Have you ever met a mountaineer?"
After chatting for about ten minutes, Zhang Yuanqing nodded with a heavy face and told her the story of the conversation with the middle-aged uncle.
Fairy Peony's face suddenly changed slightly, and she silently moved a few meters away from him.
This woman! Zhang Yuanqing twitched the corner of his mouth and said calmly:
"At least I'm fine now, nothing happened."
He does not think that violating the regulations on precautions will cause him to capsize in the gutter. If the information is not equal, he will make mistakes, and others will make mistakes too.
Based on his understanding of the dungeon, this kind of trap with a high trapping rate often does not bring direct and fatal damage.
Either it will accumulate or it will explode under certain conditions.
If this brings a fatal crisis, then half of the people in the dungeon will die right now.
Thinking like this, Zhang Yuanqing stopped and opened the standings.
He first took a look at the total number of people and found that there were only 174 people left in the dungeon. Six more people had died since the last time.
It had only been an hour since entering the dungeon, and already the number of dead was almost 10. The death rate was a bit high. Zhang Yuanqing did not relax because he had a smooth journey.
One hundred and seventy-four people are wandering around in the virgin forest. They may meet each other at some point, or they may encounter the boss at some point.
Fairy Peony suddenly stopped and listened. After a few seconds, she looked over and said in a deep voice:
"There is fighting on our left, about fifty meters away."
In the forest, the wood demon's perception is brought into full play, comparable to the insight of a scout.
Fifty meters? Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said:
"I'll go over invisible and take a look. You and my Inferi will stay here."
When the Peony Fairy nodded, he entered the night tour, carefully avoiding the shrubs, dead branches at his feet, and the hanging vines above, and quickly moved closer to the left.
Half a minute later, Zhang Yuanqing arrived at the battle site silently.
Before he could take a closer look at the two warring parties, he heard a sinister laughter first:
"The female high school student from the island country, let's fuck her."
