6. 'Rick Jones'

"I can take you out, but I'm not doing anyone else in vain."

Bai Ye glanced at Ker Jones's outstretched hand, and responded coldly: "They are all here to explore, so you can't let me go home empty-handed." ”

"You...... You snob, I can promise to pay you a very good sum after you take me out of here. ”

"Tsk, do you think I'm a three-year-old? There is no basis for your words, how do I know if you will turn your face and deny people afterwards. ”

"But I'm penniless now."

Rick Jones said anxiously.

"Then there's no way, I'm afraid you'll have to stay in this hellish place and wait for death."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The thin, blind man looked quite angry when he heard this.

Dark veins began to appear under his pale face, his face distorted, and his teeth clenched, as if he was forcibly suppressing his anger.

Bai Ye saw this scene in his eyes and sneered: "It's still too late to change your mind, if you come early, you won't have nothing to gain, right?" ”

"Hehehe......"

Rick Jones laughed angrily, and as if after some thought, he reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out a square stone that glowed a soft blue.

He held the stone in his hand and said, "Despicable fellow, I really regret reminding you when you touched the mechanism, take it and hurry up to fulfill your promise!" ”

Bai Ye took the stone, and an introduction immediately appeared next to the stone;

【Brilliant and sparkling gems】

[Category: Very Rare Treasure]

[Weight: 3]

[Introduction: Judging by its unique shape, this thing should have a different purpose.] However, judging by the luster it exudes, it is clear that this is a valuable gemstone, and it may be possible to return a large sum of money by handing it over to the auction house. 】

"That's pretty much it."

Putting the stones in his pocket, Bai Ye proposed, "For the sake of convenience, I decided to leave here with you on my back." ”

"That's for the best, of course."

Rick Jones was overjoyed.

"So you're going to have to help get this torch."

As he spoke, Bai Ye handed the torch in the direction of Rick Jones.

But just as the torch approached the other party, his hand suddenly trembled, and the flame burned just right to the other party's arm.

"Oh no, how did you do that?!"

Rick Jones immediately jumped up screaming, took a few steps back in an exaggerated way, and clutched his burned arm and shouted loudly.

"Get it out of the way, get the damn torch out of the way!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to burn your skin, Your Excellency the Dwarf King, I wonder if I'm right to call you that?"

As Bai Ye spoke, he also took out the kitchen knife he was carrying, pointed at the other party, and said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Although I am not too sure of your true identity, I can be 100% sure that you are not the explorer Rick Jones." ”

"You...... What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. ”

'Rick Jones' is a little unsettled, but he can barely hold on.

He immediately changed the subject and said, "I said that you guys shouldn't want to regret it, right?" Shameless man who has rebelled, give me back the gem. ”

"Hey, stop acting, your acting skills are really clumsy."

Bai Ye was unmoved.

"Damn!"

'Impostor' Rick Jones's expression seemed to be a little struggling, and when he saw that Bai Ye didn't eat his set at all, he simply broke the jar and broke it.

His expression began to be hideous, his voice began to thicken, and his speech seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.

"When did you find out?"

His tone sounded unwilling, and the hand that was covering the burned area was removed, and the wound looked like a piece of cloth had been burned out of a gap, and dense black tentacles wriggled in the gap.

"From the moment I first met you."

Bai Ye shook his head, the corners of his mouth curled up with contempt.

"Your words and deeds seem to be cunning, but there are so many flaws that it is difficult not to notice."

'Rick Jones': '......'

"If my speculation is correct, the legitimate explorer Rick Jones must be left-handed.

It's easy to tell by simply looking at the contents of that backpack.

The compass and the iron kettle for drinking water have only the left half of the iron kettle that has faded badly and is smoother, indicating that their owners are accustomed to holding them with their left hand.

The handwriting on the notepad showed signs of being wiped by the palm of the hand, caused by accidentally touching the undried handwriting when using the left hand to write from left to right. ”

When Bai Ye said this, his words changed.

"And you, you simply took the backpack I handed you with your right hand, and when you wanted me to take you away, you naturally stretched out your right hand to me, and more importantly, there is a clear trace on the wrist of your left hand - it is left by wearing the watch all year round."

Bai Ye took out the old-fashioned watch, shook it in front of the other party's eyes, and continued:

"Wear a watch on your dominant hand, Mr. Rick Jones, don't you usually think it's in the way?"

"You're impersonating Rick Jones, but you're not professional at all, and you don't even know the name of the person you're impersonating beforehand.

I took the initiative to tell you the name, and then you hurriedly responded, not knowing that you had fallen into a small trap I had set. ”

Listening to Bai Ye's analysis here, the fake Rick Jones saw sweat on his forehead, and his face was cloudy.

"Of course, these clues only prove that you are an impostor, and the reason why you would think you are a dwarf king - to be honest, I am not sure, and it seems ...... now"

Bai Ye paused when he said this, and glanced at the scald gap on the other party's arm.

"What other creature could you be? All of this is based on one of my assumptions, and the Gnome King is the one that makes the most sense. ”

- System Prompt: Your accurate cracking has increased the concentration posture by 50 proficiency points.

"That's enough, I don't want to listen to your self-righteous analysis anymore."

'Rick Jones' was furious, interrupted Bai Ye's words impatiently, and said intricately: "Since you don't want to take me away, then I have to leave you with me!" ”

With that, his face twisted into a grim grin, and he slowly opened his blood-blurred eyes.

His eyes were pitch black and hollow, with no eyeballs in them, and short black tentacles that looked like hairs began to emerge from their black sockets.

Immediately afterward, a dense black beard began to emerge from his face, and tentacles continued to grow until they covered his entire face.

When the black tentacles grew to a certain extent, they became entangled and twisted together, forming four thicker and longer tentacles.

The four thick tentacles hung to the ground, supporting the human body's feet in the air.

Then the monster let out a sharp howl and crawled towards Bai Ye like a strange 'spider'.

……

"This is the cry...... Sounds familiar. ”

It was clearly the cry of an unknown beast that I had heard in the woods just now.

It seems that this monster has already been eyeing Bai Ye when he was outside, and he followed Bai Ye all the way into the tomb.

Fortunately, he had already recognized the identity of the other party and was on guard, and Bai Ye had already quickly retreated when the monster began to transform.

The monster chased after him for a short distance, and then roared and waved his thick tentacles towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye flew out, dodging the blow with a roll on the spot, the tentacles hit the ground, and the thick stones cracked with a bang.

If it is photographed now, it is estimated that the bone can be directly broken.

Moreover, the opponent's long tentacles had the advantage of long attack distance, and Bai Ye obviously couldn't defeat this monster with just a kitchen knife.

He didn't hesitate at all, turned around and ran in the direction he came.

Seeing this, the tentacle monster immediately dragged its suspended human body in pursuit, and the four tentacles squirmed quickly on the ground, crawling quite fast.

……

The heartbeat began to increase.

Adrenaline was secreted again, and the body's potential turned into strength, which began to flow into Bai Ye's body.

Extraordinary physical talent is reactivated......

He dodged the attack of the monster's tentacles as he ran, and after his dynamic vision was enhanced, he was able to catch the speed of the tentacles' volleys with his naked eye, allowing him to dodge the attack before it arrived.

During this time, he also seized on the flaws revealed after the tentacle attack, and used a kitchen knife to fight back several times.

But whether the kitchen knife is cutting or stabbing, when the blade touches the tentacles, the feedback is a slippery and tough touch, and the kitchen knife is completely unable to break through the opponent's defense.

The monster screamed and erected two more tentacles, and slapped at Bai Ye one after another.

Bai Ye dodged in a hurry, took the time to pay attention to his physical fitness bar, and after a run and battle, his physical energy bar had already been consumed by half.

"I can only run."

He didn't dare to have any more thoughts of killing the monster, and fled at full speed in the direction he had come.

Soon, a staircase at the edge of the 'corpse pit' appeared not far ahead.

Climbed up the stairs with both hands and feet, but just as Bai Ye poked his head out of the stairs, he found a black double-barreled shotgun pointed right at his forehead.

He hurriedly shouted at the gunman: "Mr. Rick Jones, don't shoot, it's your own people!" ”
