Chapter 3: This Damned Fate

Lei Yin didn't know what he had done, and as soon as he woke up, he was threatened with death one after another, and twice!

The Lynx jumped to the ground, its big amber eyes staring at Rein, its saber teeth trembling slightly as it let out a low roar, emitting a primal and demonic threat.

Lei Yin didn't dare to move, but he didn't dare not move, and crawled forward bitterly in his heart, trying his best to keep a safe distance.

The Lynx moved slowly with a gentle step, searching for the throat of its prey, an ancient memory engraved in their genes, the most effective part of the throat to hunt its prey.

At this moment, there was a commotion ahead.

Rein turned his head to see that it was the group of dwarves in the valley with wooden masks. They must have heard the sound of the magic light cannon from the magic light lynx attacking the earth, and ran back one by one with sharp stone spears.

The Lynx turned its head away, narrowing its eyes and opening its mouth wide to let out a cry of dissatisfaction, as if to protest against the uninvited guests who had disturbed its hunting ritual, and as if to indicate that the thought of retreating from the face of so many dwarves in the valley had sprung up in its mind.

The dwarves of the valley apparently also saw the magic lynx and the "original prey" lying on the ground, and jumped up one by one excitedly.

In the Great Rift Valley of the Black Forest, the magic light lynx is one of their food, although the magic valley dwarves are like a drop in the ocean, and one-on-one can never beat the magic light lynx, but you can't stand the number of them, dozens of stone spears are thrown out, and one or two can be pierced into the prey.

Seven or eight dwarves of the valley remembered the scent of the braised magic lynx, and rushed over with a stone spear.

The Lynx apparently knew they were outnumbered, and the magic in them wasn't enough to allow them to use the Magic Light Cannon continuously for five minutes. It leaned over and let out a scream, then turned around and ran like a gust of wind.

Seven or eight valley dwarves grunted and shouted, kicking up a cloud of dust and following them.

"Ahem......"

Lying on the ground, Rein was blinded by the dust and coughed uncontrollably.

He reached out and rubbed his eyes, and then slowly eased up.

"Quack, β€”β€”!" Seven or eight valley dwarves, who were no more than one meter two tall, gathered around him, picked up stone spears and aimed them at him, and a valley dwarf with a much more colorful mask stood at the front, shouting viciously at Rein.

Rein sat up, lamenting that he still couldn't escape the fate of being captured by the dwarves of the valley. He squeezed out a smile in embarrassment, and just as he was about to say something, he was ordered by the leading dwarf of the valley to have his men arrest him.

An hour laterβ€”

Rein, who had become a prisoner, sighed helplessly as he sat in a rough, ugly, but sturdy cage made of rattan and wood.

Through the cracks in the wooden cages, he saw twenty or thirty dwarves in their camp, jumping around the large iron cauldron that was burning in the center, and their mouths were making noisy noises.

An old valley dwarf half-dressed in a worn wooden mask, who looked very old and obviously had a very high status, slowly took out all kinds of strange materials from a broken sack and threw them into the large iron cauldron. The boiling water in the large iron pot was churning, giving off a disgusting smell. The dwarves of the valley who smelled it danced around the fire as if they had been stimulated.

It was approaching dusk, and the dwarves of the valley were probably preparing dinner.

Rein saw a bunch of dwarves slaughtering creatures that had always looked like rhinoceros, but were not rhinoceros, and vaguely felt that it was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The Naga that was about to become the dwarf dinner in the valley was the Naga that had fallen into the Black Forest Rift with Rein, and if it weren't for it, Rein would be the one to be eaten tonight.

Rein looked around the camp, and the crooked houses around it were made of wood, bark, and animal skins, rough and simple, sunny and rainy, and only the dwarves of the valley who did not know the quality of life could live in peace.

On this side of the camp are several trapped animal cages, and although their houses are rough, the cages are sturdy. In addition to Rein, there were three beasts in the cage next to it, one of which was the magic light lynx that Rein had seen, it had three or four wounds on its body, and it was lying on the ground dying. It seems that it has not escaped the clutches of the dwarves of the valley, and has been reduced to their reserve food.

In the middle cage was a terrestrial creature with a carapace, and the newcomer Rhine didn't know what it was.

There was also a cage behind Rhine, his hands and feet tied, and Rhine, who had difficulty turning around, could only vaguely see a creature of the size of the giant beast that had become dinner tonight lying there, and he didn't know what it was.

The dwarves of the valley began to pour the main course into the pot, and the pot was simmered.

The hot soup was boiling in the big iron pot, and the strange smell wafted far away.

Rein lay helplessly on the ground, looking at the raging flames and the huge iron cauldron, he didn't know when he would become the meal of the dwarves of the valley. This impending fate left him a little speechless, he had never expected that he would end up with food for himself. Is it because he slaughtered too many mobs in video games, so when he entered the fantasy world, he had to suffer this kind of retribution for being boiled in a pot?

The giant beast in the cage behind him snorted with a dull snort, and Rein wanted to turn over to take a look, but he could only see a vague back.

As the sky darkened, Ray looked boredly at the sky above the Great Rift Valley, and saw that the sunset lit the dusk clouds, showing brilliant colors in the blue sky, orange like orange, yellow like gold, red like fire, and a touch of fire burning clouds in the blue sky, which looked as beautiful as the most dreamy picture in the comics.

This pre-nightfall blazing is the last struggle of the sun before it sinks, and then it will be shrouded in great darkness and take over the earth, which is the final fate of the sun in the day, just as Rhine is about to come to an end.

Looking at the beautiful evening in front of him, and the dwarves of the valley dancing ugly by the fire in front of him, Rein remembered the short life he had not yet burned, and a thought suddenly flashed through him: I can't die here.

Whether it is on the earth or in this unknown world, he can't die like this, in his short seventeen years, he has been struggling for survival, if he wants to wither before he blooms, he won't do it!

Where is this? Why are you here? What are you doing here? How do I get out of here and go back to the world? What the hell am I going to do......

Rein had a lot of questions in his mind, but after some thought, there was only one question left: How do I get out of here and survive?

Once this issue is identified, it is clear what needs to be done. In the past, as a student who loves to play games, his brain turns faster than anyone else, and once he calms down, he can think about problems as a problem solver and stand in the position of a problem solver. Now there is the question in front of him: "How do you escape from a strong cage as a captive with your hands and feet tied?" ”

Rein's eyes rolled, and he began to think about it:

Analysis I. conditions of the site,

Disadvantages:

1. Hands and feet are tied and incapacitated;

2. Locked in a cage with no outside aid;

3. The enemy is outnumbered, and it is difficult to be tough and tough.

Advantage: The dwarves of the valley are preparing dinner, and no one notices coming.

Analysis II. Escape Procedure:

1. Gain the ability to move freely;

2. Escape from the cage;

3. Escape from the camp of the dwarves of the valley.

Now we turn to the first question: how do you gain the ability to move freely?

After analyzing all the problems and the direction of the solution, Ray determined that the first step to escape was to untie his hands and feet.

The dwarf of the valley tied his wrists behind his back with ropes, and Rein could not see his hands, but his palms were unrestricted. Rhine strained his fingers to reach the rope that held his wrist securely, using his touch to determine the material of the rope: it was a vine. Since it is a vine, it means that it is the rhizome of the plant, which has considerable toughness, but at the same time has the weakness of being intolerant of grinding.

Rein quickly recalled the past when he went to herd cattle on the earth to get vines: when he was a child, he didn't carry a sickle when he herded cattle in his hometown, but he would pick up some dry firewood, and when he gathered too much, he would pull wild vines and tie up the firewood. Wild vines are soft and tough, and it is difficult to pull out the strips with brute force, so you can smash them with stones, or cut them little by little with stone chips, or grab the vines and grind them on sharp stone edges.

In the current state, it is impossible to smash, so solution 1 is eliminated, and only 2 and 3 remain: find a stone chip to cut it, or find something hard to grind it off.

Once Lei Yin entered the problem-solving mode, the whole person came to his senses and became a master of decryption. On Earth, whether it is a complex problem or a difficult puzzle game, it will slowly be peeled away in his careful thinking, and it will be disintegrated little by little.

His purpose now is clear: if he finds a stone chip or something hard, he can break the vine rope in his hand.

Rein no longer feels lost, and his will to survive drives him to turn his brain and enter his state of survival. In the afterglow of the setting sun, he wandered around the cage in search of something to use.

The cage was made of wood, the ground was dirt, the surrounding was wood, and there were no stones to use.

"There will always be an answer." Rein secretly said to himself in his heart that when a problem arises, he will always tell himself this. Then in the crevice of the wooden strip on the ground, he found something to use: a bitten bone.

This bone is not big, it should be the barrel bone of some kind of creature, I don't know what eats the meat clean, and then bites the bone and bursts, even the bone marrow is sucked up, and the remaining small bone strip has a tapered tip.

"This is the first tool to escape!" Rein's heart was overjoyed, and he moved his body and went over to grasp the bone in his hand.
