"Ahh ”

Just behind a tree, there was a figure who couldn't help but sneeze, but her voice was not loud, and Chu Ge and Xiaopang didn't hear it.

She hid behind the tree, her head pressed against the trunk, and she secretly stuck out one of her heads, relieved to find that the two guys hadn't found out.

It was a female player, she had short hair, and although she was wearing a merchant's disguise, she could also see the leather gloves on her hands and the leather boots on her feet, this was a hunter player!

Ling Moyu, a LV10 huntress.

She had been tracking Chu Ge and the two of them with Eagle Eye, and in Eagle Eye's field of vision, there were bright red footprints on the ground.

She followed these footprints and saw Chu Ge and Xiaopang, who seemed to be unsuspecting all the way forward.

If she attacked them now, she was confident that she would kill both enemies.

However, the system stipulates that they cannot maliciously attack other players before dark, that is, they cannot fight enemies.

Therefore, she could only monitor Chu Ge's every move from a distance, which was also the task given to her by the captain, to pay close attention to the dynamics of Chu Ge and the others.

Once it gets dark, they'll strike first and launch a surprise attack on the enemy!

A sharp hunter's machete appeared in Ling Moyu's hand, and her eyes became cold.

She was very unhappy after being threatened by Chu Ge before, if it weren't for the restrictions of the game, she would have cut the other party with a thousand knives!

No one can threaten her.

No one.

......

While Chu Ge and Xiaopang were heading to the Devil's Cave, An Ruoqing and Chen Yumu were still working hard to find key clues in Heishui Village.

"Ruoqing, where do you think the key clues will be?" asked Chen Yumu.

"I don't know if you found out. An Ruoqing said with a serious expression: "In the previous dungeon, although we also encountered NPCs, they were basically our enemies, just like the guards in the madhouse. ”

"But this time it......'s different," An Ruoqing continued, "The system allows us to look for clues from Blackwater Village before it gets dark, which actually gives us a lot of freedom, in addition to exploring the room, we should also be able to talk to NPCs!"

Mu Mu felt that what the eldest lady said was reasonable, although they knew that there were many uninhabited houses in the village, but they didn't dare to trespass in without permission, in case they were found by the villagers.

So they started talking to every NPC in the village who could talk to them.

A woman was putting away the dried clothes at the door of the house, An Ruoqing and Mu Mu walked over to talk, An Ruoqing said: "Today's weather is good, it is very suitable for drying clothes." ”

The woman glanced at them, did not speak, but continued to collect her clothes.

“......”

The scene suddenly became a little embarrassing, and Chen Yumu then asked: "Your village is close to the seaside and the scenery is pleasant, it is really a good place, it should be able to attract a lot of tourists." ”

Hearing Mu Mu's words, the woman raised her head and said coldly, "Heishui Village won't welcome you outsiders!"

Chen Yumu: "......"

Seeing such an unfriendly attitude of this woman, An Ruoqing's brows also furrowed.

Not far away, a little boy was playing football, and the eldest lady felt that the adults were reluctant to talk to them, and maybe they could ask something from the children.

Originally, this little boy was very happy to play with ball, but when he saw their arrival, his face became a little strange.

Just then, the door of a room opened, a woman beckoned to him, and the little boy ran over with the ball, and she looked at him reproachfully, as if he had done something bad.

She glanced coldly at the eldest lady and Mu Mu outside, and then slammed the door shut.

Mu Mu couldn't help but cover his face, "It seems that we are not very popular with the people here......"

"That's right......" An Ruoqing thought about it and said, "This should be the normal reaction of the people in the fishing village, there is something wrong with that enthusiastic village chief's mother-in-law......"

They chatted with a few more NPCs, but they ignored them and didn't ask any useful clues.

There are dozens of homes in Heishui Village, and although many of the houses are empty, the village is well-equipped, with clothing stores and grocery stores.

Even though the villagers are not friendly to them, the NPCs in these shops seem to be quite polite on the surface.

"Welcome to the shop, what do you need to buy?" asked the vendor with a smile on his face.

"Let's take a look. Mu Mu said.

The clothing store has the special clothes of Blackwater Village, and the style is very wild, there are men and women, but the materials are simple and look very cool.

The materials for men are animal skins and teeth of wild animals, and the materials for women are woven from shells and leaves of plants.

"Emmm......" Chen Yumu took a look, these clothes turned out to be bought, but the price was not cheap.

An Ruoqing didn't care about these clothes, she saw that there seemed to be something on a shelf in the clothing store.

It was a black statue, about the size of a palm. It looks like a lizard, but its head looks like a hideous fish head, which looks extremely weird!

"Do you sell this statue?" asked the eldest lady as her hand slowly touched the black statue on the cabinet.

The vendor's face changed suddenly, and he immediately walked over and stopped An Ruoqing, and his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

"This is for sale, if you don't want to buy clothes, get out of here!"

Mu Mu and the eldest lady were kicked out, and Mu Mu looked confused, "I'm so angry...... What an attitude this person has!"

But the eldest lady smiled, "It's okay, we found a clue." ”

"Clues?" Mu Mu's expression was puzzled, "You mean that statue?"

An Ruoqing nodded, "That's right, I think there must be many more such statues in this village, let's follow this line to find it, and we will definitely find key clues!"

So An Ruoqing and the others went to the grocery store again, and there were a few NPC rooms that could be entered, and sure enough, they all found such black statues.

But when they went to ask the NPCs, they kept silent and quickly kicked them out.

"Damn, the trail is broken again. Mu Mu said, although they knew that this statue must be hiding clues, but none of the NPCs were willing to communicate with them more, and the village chief's mother-in-law, who seemed to be enthusiastic just now, didn't know where she went.

Just then, they passed by a house and saw a young girl picking mushrooms on the ground.

The girl who stepped on the mushroom squatted on the ground, her flaxen hair tied into a double ponytail, and she wore a white dress, and when she saw that someone was coming, she immediately raised her head, revealing an innocent face.

"Eh, is that you?"

The innocent smile on the girl's face surprised the eldest lady and the others, because they were treated coldly by too many people in this place, and even the village chief, who seemed to be enthusiastic, was a little wrong.

But the smile on the girl's face was genuine and friendly, and it didn't look like it was pretending. So An Ruoqing decided to ask her, maybe she could ask something.

"You people here don't seem to like outsiders...... " An Ruoqing said.

The girl wiped the sweat from her face with her hands, but the dirt on her hands also wiped her face, and she didn't care and said, "Yes, Blackwater Village has always been such a tradition, they don't like people from other countries......"

"Them?" Mu Mu's brows furrowed slightly, "Do you like us foreigners?"

"Hey, hey. The girl smiled, she smiled with two dimples on her face, and looked very cute, "I've heard that the outside world is big, and I've always wanted to go outside." ”

"But the village chief's mother-in-law wouldn't let me out, saying it was dangerous outside. A helpless expression appeared on the girl's face again.

The eldest lady and Mu Mu glanced at each other, it seems that this girl longs for the outside world, but is closed in this village, so it looks different from other NPCs.

"By the way, my name is Caroline. Caroline put the picked mushrooms in the basket, "What do you call them?"

"Mu Mu. Chen Yumu replied.

"You can call me Sister Doctor. The eldest lady said.

"Mu Mu, sister doctor. At this moment, Caroline's eyes became a little strange, and she looked around, and saw that no one else noticed them, and then she said, "You can come to my house later, I have made a delicious creamy mushroom soup." ”

The eldest lady always felt that Caroline had something in her words, as if she was hiding something. However, she didn't think much about it, but asked, "Caroline, I see that everyone in your village seems to have a black stone statue, is it a custom in your Blackwater Village?"

"That's the patron saint of our Blackwater village, and every time the fishing boat goes out to fish, we go to the temple to pray for the fishermen and worship the statue of the patron deity. ”

"We call Him 'Dagon'!"
