Chapter 4 The beginning is Hardmode

Chu Ge was getting closer and closer to the gate of the cemetery, the fog in front of him was gradually dissipating, and he saw a tree standing by the door.

The tree looked like it was about to wither, the leaves on it were almost gone, and only a few leaves were left on the dry branches.

On one of the branches stood several crows, their plumage black and their ruby eyes staring at him intently.

Chu Ge originally just wanted to be a quiet beautiful man, but after he found out that those crows had been staring at him, he immediately glared back.

What do you see?

But Chu Ge didn't expect that it didn't matter what he stared at, the crows on the trees actually flapped their wings and flew up, they croaked and attacked him!

Look at you!

Chu Ge's face changed suddenly, these crows' attacks were very ferocious, one was scratching his clothes, and the other was pecking at his face, which quickly injured him.

[As a result of your attack by a crow, your health decreases by 5%]

It didn't matter if he was pecked twice by the crow, he was afraid that the crow's cry would wake the sleeping monster. But he glanced over there and saw that the monster was still lying there with his eyes closed, not waking up.

He quickly fanned the crow off his body with his hand and ran towards the open gate of the cemetery in one breath.

At this moment, a crow pecked at his hand, and the dice he had been holding in his hand suddenly flew out and fell to the ground.

The fate dice landed and rolled on the ground for a moment before slowly coming to a halt, and finally landed on the side of "5", and the number "5" was still shining.

Chu Ge had always been curious about how to use the fate dice, and now he seemed to have inadvertently triggered the dice. You know, dice are generally related to points, so what does "5" represent?

In an instant, the system message rang.

[Consumes 10% of sanity]

[Fateful Judgment 5]

[Doom Detection Trigger]

[The plot of the dungeon has been changed, and the difficulty of the mission has been increased]

[Mission Update: Survive the Monster Hunt and Escape from the Cemetery]

Chu Ge felt that the whole person was in a trance, and when he heard the sound of system news, he was stunned.

The next moment, only to hear a bang, the originally open door closed heavily in front of him!

The loud noise startled the crows in all directions, and he looked back nervously to find that the monster's eyes were still closed, and it didn't seem to be awakened.

It slept soundly......

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the monster suddenly opened its eyes, revealing blood-red pupils!

This guy ...... Even pretending to be asleep!

Chu Ge didn't have time to pick up the dice on the ground, so he turned his head and ran towards the gate.

He thought that the closed door would still open, but as soon as he put his hand on the door lock, the system message prompted him.

[The gate of the cemetery is locked, please look for the key to the cemetery0/1]

"Daddy!"

Chu Ge didn't expect things to turn out like this, he just threw the dice, and the simple novice task suddenly became difficult.

It seems that the change in the difficulty of the task is inseparable from that hateful dice.

"Roarโ€”"

The monster in front of the tombstone stood up and let out a shuddering roar. As the fog cleared, in the moonlight, Chu Ge finally saw the true face of the monster.

It has pointed ears and a hideous face, its left eye has no luster, there is a scar in its socket, and its right eye is shining with a blood-red fierce light.

The monster's two claws were as sharp as knives, its rubber-like skin was full of folds, and its back and epidermis were covered with fungus from the cemetery.

It seemed to have something hanging from its neck, and there was a long wound on its chest that ran from its neck to its lower abdomen, and blood was oozing from it.

[This is the first time you have seen the true face of the ghoul, it looks like a human and is like a hyena, which makes you feel great fear, and your sanity value drops by 5%]

Chu Ge felt his legs tremble, when the fate dice were thrown out just now, he was in a trance, his sanity value was consumed by 10%, and now it has been consumed by another 5%, and his sanity value is only 85%.

The ghoul let out a roar and pounced on him, Chu Ge saw a pair of sharp claws coming in front of him, he immediately launched his dodge skill, and a roll passed by the opponent's attack.

With a thud, the ghoul slammed headlong into the closed door.

It was not a light hit, because he saw that the monster shook its head, and it was a little unsteady to walk.

It looks like it's been knocked out!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Ge turned around and ran, running towards the cemetery in the opposite direction.

But soon, there was a roar behind him, and he didn't have to look back to know that the monster must be chasing after him again, so he had no choice but to flee to the depths of the cemetery.

The fog in the cemetery gradually lifted, and tombstones appeared in the fog.

The light in the cemetery at night was very poor, and the ghoul was blind in one eye, his vision was not good, and his body was also injured, and his mobility was limited, so Chu Ge hid from it around the tombstone, and finally got rid of the ghoul.

The continuous escape made Chu Ge's stamina have been depleted, and he hid behind a tombstone to catch his breath, recovering his stamina by the way.

He poked his head out from behind the tombstone and glanced at the monster that was still looking for him, feeling a little depressed.

Obviously, everyone starts with a simple novice task, but when it comes to him, it becomes a hard mode for cheating.

If it was an ordinary player, he might have quit the game and started the task again, but Chu Ge had no intention of giving up.

The ghoul was clearly injured, not without weakness. So he still has a chance!

He pondered for himself, the locked cemetery gate needed a key to open, so where would the key be?

The cemetery wasn't big, the key could be anywhere, and he had to go through the whole map as much as he could.

However, he still had to watch out for ghouls, so he kept his distance from them and tried to search all corners of the cemetery.

Soon, he came to the center of the cemetery, and he saw a cemetery not far away that had been dug up, and the coffin in the soil had been dug up.

Tsk, whose ancestral grave was dug up?

Chu Ge walked forward curiously, and he found that the coffin lid was hidden, and there seemed to be something inside, perhaps the key to the cemetery gate was inside.

He carefully opened the lid of the coffin, but the key was not found, and there was only a rusty shovel inside.

He took the shovel out of the coffin, and he was short of a weapon to use in the face of the terrible ghoul.

He didn't know where that fate dice had fallen for a long time, but it was better to lose that kind of thing, otherwise he would be unlucky again.

[Name:Worn shovel]

[Type: Weapon]

[Grade: Normal]

[Collateral effect: none]

[Durability: 3/10]

[Overall evaluation: This is your novice weapon]

When Chu Ge saw this weapon information, he felt that his whole person was not good.

Even a novice weapon isn't that bad, is it, and the durability is so low?

Chu Geqiang couldn't resist the idea of complaining, although this shovel was broken, it was better than fighting the ghoul with his bare hands.

I just don't know that this shovel can block several attacks from ghouls.

After getting the shovel, he continued to search for the key in the cemetery. But he walked around almost the entire cemetery and found no trace.

"Impossible...... Chu Ge touched his chin, he looked at the edges and corners of the tombstone, but he couldn't find it.

This cemetery is so big, it can't be buried in the earth, right?

He thought about taking out the compass again, trying to use it to find the key, but soon his movements stopped, and he realized that something was wrong......

It's so quiet......

It's so quiet around......

Before, after the crow flew away, the cemetery could occasionally hear the roar of the ghoul, but now, the whole cemetery was silent, and the monster seemed to have disappeared.

At first, he was deliberately keeping his distance from the monster, but soon he lost track of the monster, and the other party seemed to be hiding.

Dangerous......

Chu Ge felt that there was danger in the darkness and was about to move, this feeling that he was in the dark was very bad, so he turned on his spiritual vision, and the entire cemetery was suddenly shrouded in gray and black.

Not here.

Not here either......

His brow furrowed, there was no sign of the ghoul in front of him, and he lifted his vision to realize that things were not simple.

All that's left is ......

Suddenly, there was a strange sensation behind him, as if there was a hot air spraying on his back.

His gaze glanced back slightly, and he saw a hideous face, and two blood-red eyes were staring at him!
