Chapter 1: The Ghoul Cave
The village of Bethes is one of the villages surrounded by rolling mountains, belonging to the countryside of the country of Astaire, famous for its sweet fruits in early summer and silver foxes in the snow season. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The village is located in the outer mountains of the outer mountains, and because of the abundant sunlight and suitable moisture, and the fertile soil, the villagers choose to grow sweet fruits that prefer the shade.
In June of the year 172 of the Holy Calendar, that is, in June of the previous year, the Pope of Astaire visited here, bringing with him the magic of water conservancy and land development, and thus expanding the cultivation, which also means that the village of Bethes is about to get on the right track of development, and it also means that the country of Astaire may give the young people of the village some valuable places of knightly squire.
Now it's early summer, and it's time to put some solid fences on those fields, convenient and magical.
There are not many magic items in the village, and the [Mist Stick] that can absorb moisture from the air and spray it on crops is the only one known to the villagers, and the village chief decided to give this valuable item to his granddaughter Tisera, so that she can experience the magic of magic, and show her to understand the dependence of the village's development, after all, she is one of the best young people in the village.
"Young people should be trained better, instead of being buried in the mountains and dedicating their lives to a few fields."
Thinking so, the village chief lovingly stroked the girl's head, turned his head, and motioned for everyone to walk, and the group followed the sun on the muddy road in the mountains.
Deeper in the mountains, the surrounding towering trees open up jagged shades, and the warm sunlight shines through the shade of the trees on the early summer meadows, and green streams flow from the depths of the jungle. The deeper you go into the dense forest, the less sunlight becomes, and the humidity gradually fills the air, and there are many creatures hiding in the dense forest in order to avoid the sun, but the dense forest at this moment is colder than before.
The cold air visible to the naked eye penetrated from the cave deep in the dense forest, and accompanied by a small and sharp hissing sound, suddenly, the surrounding creatures became more silent, and the giant python wrapped around the tree looked down at the dark hole entrance, and there was a trace of fear in its green eyes, and then slowly crawled towards the darker place.
"Tick tock, tick tock."
The water fell on Leo's face, and he suddenly woke up, and first he was greeted by a blue ore, embedded in the dark cave wall, emitting a faint blue light. Below was a ground of interlaced white threads, and when you looked up, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see anything clearly.
Leo stood up in horror, but just as he tried to move, he felt a tingling sensation and dizziness hit his head, and he sat down on the ground again.
What the hell is going on, am I not working on the final expansion, why is it in such a weird cave, my system panel, how can my body be so heavy, my resistance is obviously extremely high.
No matter what, first clear up your negative effects.
However, when Leo reluctantly lifted his right hand, he was greeted by a fair, unworn hand.
A heightened sense of fear came to mind, and Leo hurriedly surveyed himself, revealing that he had nothing but a tattered maroon shirt and maroon pants.
And that's not the worst of all, he can't call out his stats panel at all right now, which means he can't get any help from the system, or even offline.
"What the hell is going on here?!"
Leo held his head in his hands, his equipment was lost, and the annoyance of not being able to get off the line swarmed up, and he groaned in pain, and his weakness seemed to have diminished a little.
As if sensing Leo's voice, there was the sound of Suo above him, drops of water falling from above and onto the ground beside him. Leo was stunned, it was the water droplets that woke him up just now, but he couldn't see clearly when he looked up.
He made a decision, struggled to his feet, and barely walked in front of the turquoise ore.
Sure enough, as he had observed before, the ore had been placed on the hole in the rock wall later, and the white ground he had been on seemed to have some stickiness, which made him hold the fist-sized ore in his hand and pull it back, and it seemed to emit a more intense blue light after being pulled out.
There was some green liquid in the previous hole, but it was strangely not on the ore. Leo shook his head and didn't delve any further, but began to marvel at the strange touch of the ore, and marveled at the almost real cave environment.
Suddenly, a terrible thought ran through his mind.
"I'm not going to cross it, am I?!"
As soon as this thought arose, it lingered, and the deep panic and helplessness suddenly made his brain mess up.
Leo stared carefully at the smooth mirror of the ore in his hand, trying to see his current appearance, but the ore seemed to be transparent but was actually cloudy, and he couldn't even see his own hair color, let alone his appearance.
After giving up on continuing to investigate one's appearance, the first priority should be to find a way to connect with the system and understand what kind of place you are.
He awoke on a piece of white sticky ground, but on closer inspection, he saw that the white ground was just a small patch, and farther away was a dark rocky ground that was the same as the rock wall. And very strangely, the frequency of the water dripping above seems to be getting faster and faster.
Could it be that someone is peeing on it?
This mischievous thought came to mind, and Leo immediately shook his head, continuing to observe his surroundings, and the more he looked out, the more he felt that the place was actually quite large.
Except for the rock wall near him, the rest of the place was dark, and the dark rock face was very cold, and after a while he began to shiver a little, and he couldn't see any useful information anymore, so he could only go back to the white ground that was not so cold, and calm down his chaotic brain first.
It's impossible to have such a touch of the real thing, but how can this be... An indescribable sense of anxiety gradually emerged, and although Leo was not sure whether he was in reality or a game, he gradually realized that he was in a very serious situation, and there was nothing he could do.
"Quack, quack, quack."
A continuous, human-like hiccup sound came from the darkness on Leo's side, and the sudden sound made Leo furious, turned his head to look at the darkness, and suppressed the shouts that were almost about to explode, deep fear firmly taking over his brain.
A vague black shadow hovered over the rock face, approaching Leo at a slow speed, and making strange noises.
The slender flesh-colored claws that were entrenched on the rock wall gradually became clear, and the one with such claws was a short, flesh-skinned humanoid creature with no hair on its body, but it had extremely sharp claws and dark red fangs at first glance, and a long tongue that protruded from its mouth and dragged it on the ground, scraping a damp mark.
Although the monster looked unusually hideous, its tightly squinted eyes seemed to be unable to see objects clearly, and it only approached Leo with other beastly senses.
In fact, Leo was lucky and unlucky at the same time.
Luckily, Leo had a better view after taking out the ore, but the unfortunate place also attracted the original inhabitants of this place.
It's a monster that has never been seen before in the game, and if you really want to describe it, I'm afraid that the "cave man" in some of the videos about ghosts is very suitable.
But now was not the time to marvel, the monster's front paws seemed to predict the distance, arching like a snake, and a bone-chilling chill instantly flowed through its body.
Leo seemed to be choked by fear, his stiff body couldn't move at all, he gritted his teeth, and his brain was so cold that he lost the ability to function.
The sound of sharp piercing of the air flickered, and the sharp claws left three deep marks on the rock wall with great force, as well as a few scraps of cloth.
Overcoming fear at the moment of crisis, he sensed the sound of the wind breaking with superhuman reflexes, and then narrowly brushed his claws, and Leo slumped to the ground, greedily breathing in the air of the aftermath of the catastrophe, three shallow blood marks appeared on his left arm, and then a deeper chill crept up his spine.
"Quack, quack, quack."
On all sides, they seemed to be aware of the presence of uninvited guests, and a series of similar hiccups came and went, looking like there were about 3 or 4 of them, and gradually surrounded Leo.
There are more than one, it seems that this time it is really unknown whether it is dead or not, Leo gritted his teeth and thought desperately.
The wound on his left arm was still aching, and the blood was slowly flowing down Leo's fingers, then across the turquoise ore.
In an instant, a dazzling blue light erupted from the center of Leo's left hand, and although he was in the center of the light source, Leo did not feel uncomfortable, while the monsters let out ugly screams as if they had been stimulated by something, and rolled on the ground with their ugly bodies in their arms.
The blue light dispelled a large area of darkness around them, and about seven or eight monsters rolled on the ground in pain.
Leo, in ecstasy, looked around and found a large black hole in the rock wall not far away, glanced at the blue ore that was beginning to fade, gritted his teeth, grabbed the nearest piece of blue ore beside him, and ran into the dark hole almost with a roll.
He kept running, and he was relieved to notice that the moans behind him were getting weaker and weaker.
"Smack."
A dark red rock wall suddenly appeared in front of him, and Leo couldn't react and hit it headfirst, collapsing to the ground, almost black in front of his eyes, and the turquoise ore in his left hand also fell, smashing into several dull black fragments on the ground.
Damn, when Leo came back to his senses, he couldn't help but curse secretly, the previous ore had been shattered, and then the new piece of ore in his right hand also had a slight crack.
Patting the black shards on his body, Leo stood up and began to examine his surroundings. As visibility had regained to a low level, he could only see that he was beside a dark red rock wall, the ground still dark rock, and the distance in total darkness.
"What the hell is going on, I almost died just now, the blood is still flowing, what the hell is this place?"
As if he had lost his strength, Leo relaxed, leaning against the dark red rock wall, his left arm still aching, but it was bleeding much, and faint tears flickered in his eyes. The experience just now almost subverted the values that he had always been built by beautiful socialism, it was really a terrible and painful experience, and escaping death from under the monster had hollowed out all the courage in his heart.
However, before he could finish venting his inner fear and anxiety, a terrible voice seemed to come again.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck."
There was the sound of teeth pounding against each other, and a sense of fear welled up in his tired heart, and Leo, who thought it was a monster, sighed and closed his eyes.
He thought he was about to be torn to pieces, but he felt a burning sensation from inside his body, and the sudden heat shattered his consciousness.
His eyes turned red for a moment, and a bloodthirsty, indescribable madness welled up in his heart, and countless bloody and terrible scenes flashed in front of his eyes. The wound on his left arm gradually glowed red, countless hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes, and countless screams and screams were heard in his ears.
It was as if a sharp blade was swimming in the body, and the brain was on fire.
Leo's eyes darkened and he fainted.
