The map depicts frogs and waterfalls, both of which the four had passed by. There is a pattern of a house drawn in the middle, which should refer to the ruins where Xiao Yan and the others are now, and the maker of the map is probably the brother lying in the corner.

On top of that, one of the small paths of the map extends into a wooded field not far away, where mushrooms grow, and a simple sentence is written that makes everyone's whole body shake:

"Dusk, green mushrooms, roasted and eaten to restore SAN value."

Could it be that this benevolent brother who has turned into white bones is also the contractor who came here to perform an extreme challenge and then died here?

Xiao Yan and the others didn't have the heart to care about this issue anymore, a wave of headaches hit like a tide, and maddening whispers and sounds came from their ears, and even their vision became dim and blurred.

"Guys, we're not in a good situation." Freya held her forehead, and she felt a wave of dizziness and nausea as her SAN level decreased, "I can feel tinnitus and dizziness now, like someone whispering in my ear." ”

"We don't have time to delay, after the SAN level is lowered, our symptoms are getting worse and worse, and if we don't think about it, I suspect that we will end up going crazy."

Everyone hastened out of the ruins without any objections, and ran in the direction of the forest drawn on the map.

This is a maple forest, and you can see the beautiful autumn leaves from a distance, which must be pleasing to the eye in normal times, but at this time, the four of them only feel a splitting headache and stumble in their movements.

"Mercury if he is still alive? What could he do. "Everyone thought in their hearts, Mercury without the green mushroom clue would face desperate madness at the limit of the NAN drop.

"Find them separately!" Xiao Yan shouted, "Don't go too far!" Back here in an hour. ”

The four of them hurriedly dispersed to look for it, but more than an hour passed, and everyone returned to the starting point empty-handed.

"How could I not find it?" Galadia leaned against a big tree, "My head hurts. ”

"What's that?" Freya suddenly screamed, and looked in the direction of her finger to see a black figure as large as a bull approaching them.

The black shadow was burly and heavy, but somewhere between the illusory and the material, and even somewhat transparent, making one wonder if it really existed. It has the horns of a cow and sharp teeth, and its four legs are like tentacles, but it is not slow to move at all.

"You've encountered a shadow monster, and your SAN has dropped by 3 points."

This is very similar to the monster that De Villelock summoned during the show! Xiao Yan and Galadia immediately reacted, could it be that this magician and his assistant were also summoned to this world?

"Shadow Monsters. Race: Shadow Creature. Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 3, Stamina 7, Perception 1, Intelligence 1, Spirit 1, Charisma -5. ”

Xiao Yan roared and rushed forward with a spear, the dizziness and irritability caused by the drop in SAN value had made him unable to think.

The spear plunged into the shadow monster's body, and it was able to hurt it!

The shadow monster slammed forward, and Xiao Yan was sent out. At the same time, Valkyrie and Galadia outflanked each other, one left and one right.

The shadow monster was about to attack Galadia on one side, when suddenly its body began to freeze, and it was trapped in place and unable to move. Freya is wielding an ice wand, whose freezing effect also works on the shadow creature.

Valkyrie and Galadia immediately began to attack, and Xiao Yan soon joined in. Although the attributes of the three people have been suppressed to the level of ordinary people, the courage and consciousness to fight are still there, and the shadow monster is not strong. Moments later, the shadow monster was slain to the ground, casting a soft, cloudy shadow.

Xiao Yan picked up this black shadow and found that although it was in a state of nothingness, it was something that could be touched.

"You've picked up shadow energy. Grade: White. You can take it out of this space. ”

Xiao Yan put this thing in his leather bag, and felt that the dizziness was slightly relieved.

"What to do? If we don't find the mushroom, we're going to keep losing SAN like this. Freya rubbed her forehead.

Just then, the sun set, casting a brilliant golden afterglow over the trees. Green mushrooms emerge from the grass.

"Hooray!" All four cheered, and it turned out that the green mushrooms would not appear until dusk. The author of the map also did not write a little clearly.

The four of them had picked a total of 5 green mushrooms from the woods, exactly one for each of them if Mercury was there.

After roasting the mushrooms over the fire, the four of them eagerly ate them.

"You ate the green mushroom (cooked) and restored 20 SAN points."

Xiao Yan suddenly felt that his head was no longer dizzy, and his eyes were no longer dazzled. Although the SAN value is far from full, the whispers that echo in the ears and the hallucinations that appear from time to time in front of the eyes are gone.

"Whew!" Everyone gasped for breath in relaxation. In the state just now, not only is everyone facing great psychological pressure, but it is also likely to continue to attract more shadow monsters, not to mention the danger, and even rest has become a luxury.

After Xiao Yan asked what everyone meant, he put away the last cooked mushroom for later use.

Night is about to fall.

"Well, by the way, if it was a full moon last night, tonight is likely to be a full moon too." Galadia picked up a torch, "Let's explore it again, if we have a vision on a full moon night, maybe we can find something we can't see during the day." ”

"It makes sense that in such a strange magical world, many animals and plants are not active during the day." Freya agrees.

The silver moonlight shone onto the ground, and the terrifying night did not fall.

"Be careful, there's someone up ahead." The four of them explored cautiously in the forest when Valkyrie suddenly slumped down. The teammates heard it and all fell to the ground in an instant.

In the distance, there was indeed a figure standing, his posture very strange, as if he were dancing.

Everyone just stared at him, and after a few minutes, the figure's posture didn't change.

"It's not so much a figure as a sculpture!" Galadia stared intently for a moment, her eyesight was the best of several people, and she finally saw the figure clearly.

Xiao Yan looked at his teammates, got up and leaned over cautiously.

The sculpture, made of marble, takes the form of a man in an evening gown, which is very absurd and witty in this eerie forest.

On the pedestal of the statue are a few lines of small writing that are illegible to those present. Galadia walked around the sculpture twice, always feeling a little familiar, but she couldn't say it clearly.

Finding that there was no information to be read from this statue, everyone had no choice but to give up and find a place with a wide field of vision to lie down.

"Did you hear that?" Before lying down, Galadia said, "What's the sound?" ”

"No~" everyone shook their heads.

"Rest first!" Xiao Yan clenched his spear, "I'll stand on the first sentry. ”

"I really heard that." Galadia lay down in confusion, "In a flash, I can't tell what the sound is. ”

……

"Tick Tick Tick ......"

"Griffith, current SAN value of 69."

"Galadia, current SAN value of 69."

"Valkyrie, current SAN value of 69."

"Freya, the current SAN value is 69."

"Mercury, current SAN value of 61."
