The five-man group carefully navigated the suspicious swamp and tried to maneuver on the intermittent path as much as possible. Along the way, there were suspicious low roars and commotion from the woods and bushes, which everyone avoided them.

It took a whole day, and the five-person group didn't find any new clues, and the dizziness when the value dropped was always bothering them.

As dusk approached, the sound of rushing water could be heard in the distance, and Mercury exclaimed excitedly: "This is the sound of a waterfall!" That's great. I'm going to rinse myself. ”

Before the bulky Xiao Yan could speak, the three girls all jumped for joy.

"The boys are waiting here. Wait until we're done washing before we can come over! Galadia took Valkyrie's arm like two high school girls out shopping.

Galadia walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and glared back at Xiao Yan and Mercury.

"If you dare to peek, you'll gouge out your eyes!"

……

Xiao Yan and Mercury waited boredly on the grass, listening to the pleasant sound of the waterfall from afar.

"I said~ Mr. Barrel." Mercury lay on the grass with a stick of grass in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, who was moving clumsily like a bear, "Let's go take a peek!" ”

"Huh?"

"You also know that our SAN value has been steadily declining, shouldn't we look at something happy and wash our eyes?"

"Go on, you're about to convince me. But peeking at the girls taking a shower, it's also too ......"

Mercury sat up and said very seriously: "As long as you don't get discovered, you don't count as peeking!" ”

That sounds familiar! Xiao Yan hesitated.

After saying this, the tall, silver-haired boy seemed to convince himself, he jumped up from the grass, and ran into the woods without waiting for Xiao Yan to answer.

"Huh? How? Xiao Yan looked stupid. After a moment's hesitation, he staggered into the woods.

"If Mercury is found by Galadia and beaten by the gang, I'll have to get him out." Xiao Yan thought so, "If you see something you shouldn't see for one reason or another during this period......

Barrel MT made an effort to make a gesture of spreading hands~

"There's no way around it!"

The sound of water in the distance was getting closer and closer, but the dense trees blocked Xiao Yan's view. He carefully pressed the wooden armor on his body to prevent them from making a sound, and made his way through the bushes.

Not far away, there was the sound of a rope in the bushes, and something was passing through it.

"Mercury, is that you?" Xiao Yan shouted.

The noise immediately stopped, and it was as silent as if the noise had been an illusion of one's own. Xiao Yan suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly clenched the spear in his hand and raised it, while holding his oak shield across his chest.

"Roar~" A huge black shadow suddenly came out of the bushes, and Xiao Yan was immediately frightened.

"You spotted the werewolf unprepared, and your SAN value dropped by 3 points."

The werewolf who changed from the characters in the plot didn't know when and where it came from, but fortunately it was discovered by Xiao Yan, otherwise it was very likely that it would be Mercury or three girls who encountered it.

The werewolf raised his front paws high and pounced on him, Xiao Yan relied on his armor, took a hard blow from the front, and was directly knocked out.

But the sharp tip of the spear also pierced the werewolf's chest, leaving a large hole.

Xiao Yan felt like he had flown far away like a cloud, crackling and smashing a branch and shrub through the woods. It felt like a blow to Beamon.

"What's wrong?" The three girls who were far away by the waterfall heard the noise, and the three of them, who were already experienced, immediately realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly put on their clothes. Valkyrie and Galadia also picked up the spear they had at hand and cautiously moved out of the woods.

"It's Griffith, he's running towards us!" There was a clanging sound of wood crashing in the distance, and Valkyrie immediately recognized that it was the sound of Xiao Yan's wooden armor, and ran over to follow the sound.

With a crackling sound, Xiao Yan rushed out of the woods.

The three girls saw Xiao Yan staggering out from a distance, and they were still wondering if they wanted to answer him. Immediately afterwards, I saw Xiao Yan followed by a black-haired werewolf, and the girls were so frightened that they dropped their SAN value on the spot, and they ran away without turning their heads.

"Where's Mercury?" Galadia asked Xiao Yan as she ran.

"I didn't see it!"

"Isn't he with you?"

“……”

Xiao Yan thought about it, how to answer this, I can't say that kid came to peep at you, how do I know where.

The speed of the werewolf is not very fast, and it cannot be compared to the speed of the werewolf that Xiao Yan has seen before. However, the power is overwhelmingly superior to the contractors whose attributes are suppressed. After receiving that blow just now, Xiao Yan knew that the front was just right.

The four of them fled for a long time, and before they knew it, they had left the woods, and a small piece of ruins appeared in the grass in front of them.

Xiao Yan felt the sense of oppression behind him gradually disappear, and when he turned his head to look, he found that the werewolf was gone.

"Wait! Wait! Don't run. ”

Hearing Xiao Yan's shout, the girls also stopped and gasped for breath one by one.

Freya...... I didn't expect you to run quite fast! Xiao Yan stuck out his tongue and walked up, "Didn't you say that you can't do it physically?" ”

"I've decided to give up on this character!" Freya is already sweating like rain, and she has completely lost her previous cold temperament. A trace of long hair sticking to the delicate cheeks is also a unique taste.

"Is Mercury still alive?" Valkyrie still cared about the silver-haired man who disappeared, "What happened to you two just now?" ”。

Xiao Yan told the girls about the conversation between the two before, and the three of them were full of black lines on their faces.

"Okay, it is said that a slut lives for 10,000 years, and we have to have faith in him!" Freya rolled her eyes.

In the distance, the ruins were a stone house with a crumbling roof and only a few pieces of wood remaining.

"I'll go in and have a look." Xiao Yan shook his spirits.

"Wait, I'll go in with you." Valkyrie clenched his spear, "The two of them have a response, and we can't see what's going on inside." ”

Freya and Galadia watched from afar, watching as Xiao Yan and Valkyrie covered each other and burrowed into the ruins.

……

The walls of this stone house have collapsed in several places, and there are air leaks on all sides.

In the corner of the stone house lay a white human skeleton, and around him were scattered a piece of leather armor and an iron spear that looked like a thing, a machete with a missing mouth, and a small leather backpack.

The backpack contained a bit of ashes from plants and trees and some rotting unknown objects, emitting a foul smell, and Xiao Yan hurriedly poured them all out.

Valkyrie tried on the leather armor and found it to fit.

"Rudimentary leather armor (armor). Defense: 19. Grade: Gray. Notes: It is not possible to take it out of this world. ”

"Iron spears. Attack: 27-35. Grade: Gray. Notes: It is not possible to take it out of this world. ”

At the very least, it's still part of the Dimensional World. Contractors can check the attributes of hostile creatures, as well as pick up equipment, weapons, and items. It's just that the personal storage space has been sealed, and there is no way to take out things and put anything in.

It seemed that this iron spear was much sharper than that made of stone, so Xiao Yan replaced the stone spear in his hand.

In the middle of the room, there is a wooden box that looks quite new. Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and beckoned Freya and Galadia to come in together.

Galadia held the machete with a missing mouth, and somehow found a square scarf to wrap around her head, like a female pirate.

Valkyrie donned leather armor and held a stone spear. As soon as these two simple pieces of equipment arrived in her hands, they were like battle-hardened weapons, and they were all in harmony with the temperament of the weapon holder. After Xiao Yan saw it, he suspected that Valkyrie should also be a warrior or a samurai in reality.

"Then I opened it?" Xiao Yan stood there like a bear wearing a little broken wooden armor, grabbed the lid of the wooden box with a spear, and asked everyone's opinions.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Xiao Yan gently opened the wooden box.

The rotten latch shattered into powder with a slight crumbling sound.

Inside the wooden chest was a shining wand with an ice-blue gem as its core.

"Yay!" Freya happily picked up her wand, "Give me this!" I can finally have some self-preservation! ”

This ice-type wand is called the "Ice Staff" and is charged to freeze targets within 20 yards of the target, which can be used 20 times. The most important thing is that it does not consume mana, everyone can use it, and after the energy is depleted, it needs to be recharged again.

As the only former law unit present, Freya still has experience in the use of ice spells, so everyone has no objection to him taking the wand.

After all, this is a dangerous extreme breakthrough world, and everyone's attributes are suppressed to the point that they are no different from normal people, and there is no way to survive without relying on the strength of the team. What's more, although the skills are sealed, the innate skills and basic combat skills such as basic melee and basic meditation are still effective. Distributing supplies in this way now allows everyone to maximize their strength.

"I feel much better now." Freya gave a rare sweet smile, "Being defenseless made me feel like I didn't have any clothes on. ”

Xiao Yan couldn't help but glance at the ice beauty with a slender and seductive figure, and suddenly realized that it was rude to do this, and hurriedly looked away.

There are also some unknown minerals in the wooden box. Xiao Yan put some of these things in his backpack with the idea that he might be useful sometimes.

In addition to that, what was left in the wooden box caught everyone's attention.

One map!

"Be careful, side quests may be triggered." Freya stretched out her hand to stop Xiao Yan, who wanted to read, but after a while, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's watch it together." It can't be worse than now, when you don't have a clue. ”

……

"Tick Tick Tick ......"

"Griffith, current SAN value of 62."

"Galadia, current SAN value of 62."

"Valkyrie, current SAN value of 62."

"Freya, the current SAN value is 62."

"Mercury, current SAN value of 65."
