With that tension just now, Bai Ye felt that his heartbeat was about to reach the static heartbeat of a normal person.

This is undoubtedly a good sign for him......

Taking a slight breath, Bai Ye raised his feet and stepped over the corpse and walked smoothly to the door.

But when he reached out and grabbed the doorknob and was about to open the door to escape, he suddenly heard some slight footsteps coming from a nearby position outside the door, and ...... A sound of sniffing and sniffing with your nose.

'Oops! If your inference is correct, there should be a dog squatting outside the door. ’

Going out through the gate now is bound to alarm the dog.

When a dog barks, the owner of the house sleeping in the bed will definitely be awakened.

According to the game's premise, it is not possible for the player to take on the role of a Survivor who can defeat the owner of this hut head-on, or at least not have the guts to fight.

Otherwise, when he saw the skinned corpse and heard the barking of the dog, he would not have fled into the house in a hurry to hide, and just turned around and stiffened.

Bai Ye estimated that as long as the owner of the house was awakened, he would fail this novice teaching level.

Looks like you're going to have to find another way out. ’

- Game Assistant: Please enter the concentration stance.

As the prompt appeared, a contemplative icon with his hand propped on his chin appeared in the lower left corner of Bai Ye's gaze, which was also flashing in a highlighted manner.

[Gaze Gesture: Shhh...... Be quiet! Concentrate and don't get distracted! 】

[Gesture Effect: The brain becomes awake and active, and there is a certain chance that you can directly find relevant clues and discover props.]

However, if you maintain this posture for a long time, you will be more likely to fall into a state of real fear, and you will be more likely to be attracted by abnormal movements. 】

(True Fear: When a player is in a nervous state of heartbeat in the game, the game system will hypnotize him with moderate hypnotism and psychological suggestion, making him temporarily forget that he is playing a virtual game, thus triggering deep fear in him.) ）

Bai Ye switched his gaze.

After the dinging sound, he felt that the tiptoeing state he had maintained disappeared immediately, and his vision dimmed a lot.

But on the contrary, he felt his mind suddenly clear, something akin to, if I had to describe it—drinking two cups of strong coffee in a row when he was struggling.

The green arrow reappeared, pointing to a room next to the 'utility room'.

After Bai Ye walked into that room, he found that the layout inside looked a bit like a kitchen, and a pile of rotten minced meat on the stove was the source of the indoor odor.

The kitchen had no doors, and the windows were sealed with wooden slats.

In the middle of the kitchen floor, a square stroke of light appeared when he looked over—it was obvious that the Ning Shen gesture had directly helped him find an escape clue.

Upon closer inspection, there was a trapdoor in the place of the square light stroke, with an iron ring on the door, which should open to the cellar basement or something.

At this time, Bai Ye suddenly had a bold idea.

He chose to switch back to a cautious stance, and after the beep, the light strokes of the trapdoor in front of him disappeared immediately.

Bai Ye's hands and feet also lightened again, and his eyes brightened a lot.

He noticed a kitchen knife next to the pile of minced meat, and went over to check it in his hand.

The blade is a bit dirty and dirty, but it looks fairly sharp.

Then he turned back and walked over to the sleeping owner.

But just as he approached the target to a distance of less than three meters, the snoring on the bed weakened a little, and the sleeping owner of the house, who was facing inside, suddenly turned over on the bed, as if there were signs of waking up.

Do you know what you're doing? The price of self-indulgence is death! ’

A warning message followed.

Bai Ye subconsciously stopped, the tension intensified, and his heartbeat had reached the lower limit of a normal person's heart rate at this time.

The secretion of adrenaline in his body made his senses sharper and his mind clearer, and he felt almost the same as when he entered the concentration posture just now.

However, a cautious stance will reduce the player's movement speed, and although Bai Ye's senses and reflexes have been improved, there is an extra kind of forced pressure on his body, and his hands and feet are as if he has brought sandbags.

"It is estimated that it is impossible to kill him in a sneak attack, and I guess he will be killed by him."

Bai Ye shook his head slightly, and had to dispel the idea of assassination.

It seems that the game system has obviously considered that players who are brave enough not to die will take this kind of assassination to pass the level, and have added a setting to the sleeping house owner in advance.

Bai Ye was only three meters closer, and the owner of the house showed signs of waking up, and if he dared to take another step forward, maybe the other party would wake up.

He turned around and went back to the kitchen, reached out and grabbed the trapdoor ring, and lifted it up with all his might.

The trapdoor made a slight 'creak' and opened to reveal the entrance to the cellar with a black hole below.

A strong rancid smell rushed up, almost fainting Bai Ye.

He is now in a cautious posture, his senses have been improved, and because of the secretion of adrenaline, his senses have been strengthened again, and his sense of smell has surpassed that of normal people.

He quickly switched to a contemplative stance, weakening the sensory enhancement, and the stench faded a little.

Pinching his nose, he walked down the ladder, and the darkness below made it impossible to see.

Fortunately, a green indicator arrow appeared in front of him again, and Bai Ye only needed to follow the arrow all the way forward.

In the dark basement, you can hear the chirping of rats as they move, and it feels like there are quite a few of them, and they are less than half a meter in circumference.

He walked a distance of about ten meters, and a glittering escalator appeared in front of him, climbed the escalator, and after opening the trapdoor above, Bai Ye saw the night sky overhead, and the rancid smell of the cellar was finally replaced by fresh air.

"It's out."

He climbed out of the trapdoor and turned his head to see that the house he was in was less than five meters behind him, and it looked lifeless in the darkness of the night and the trees.

Turning around and taking two steps out, the road surface could not be seen clearly in the dark, and Bai Ye tripped over a bulging mound of earth on the ground.

As he got up cautiously, he immediately saw a large black pit beside the mound, into which he had almost stepped into the trap.

"Gollum ......"

At this moment, because of the movement made by Bai Ye when he tripped, a strange sound came from the direction of the door of the house, and a hairy head was raised quickly, and the crimson eyes were especially eye-catching in the dark.

……

Woo...... Roar!

The blood-red eyes of the master let out a low guttural voice and bared his white fangs in the darkness.

It stood up, nearly a human's height visible from its figure.

After roaring twice at Bai Ye not far away, it immediately flew up.

But it had only rushed out less than two meters, and the rope around its neck straightened, and the person who pulled it stood up.

The loud commotion outside the house immediately woke the sleeping owner, and the planked windows of the hut soon lit up with fire, and a tall figure swayed inside.

'This damn dog has ruined your good deeds, so turn around and run for your life before it is released!' ’

- Game Assistant: Get into active mode now!

In the lower left corner of the line of sight, a third dancing portrait icon jumps out, also flashing in the form of a highlight.

[Active stance: Remember to warm up before acting.] 】

[Gesture Effect: When running, fighting, destroying, etc., it is more efficient, and it is not easy to fall into real fear, but it will lose any clue prompt function, and it is more difficult to find props and items.] 】

Bai Ye switched to an active stance.

After the prompt sound, he felt that his body was slightly warm, his heartbeat accelerated slightly, his hands and feet seemed to be injected with more strength, and the whole person was in a state where he could sprint and run at any time after the warm-up.

At the same time, two energy bars, one white and one red, appeared in the middle of the line of sight, with text next to them indicating that they represented physical strength and life respectively.

A green arrow appeared again in front of me, pointing to a forest path not far ahead.

There was already the sound of the door opening and the shouting and scolding that couldn't hear the content clearly from the direction behind him, Bai Ye didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly opened his legs and ran wildly in the direction indicated by the arrow.

……
