Chapter 4: A Strange Request

At noon on the third day, the group finally arrived at the Baiyan Mine at the foot of the Hengduan Mountains.

Neither the name nor the surrounding landmarks reminded Mu Yan of what had happened here.

Probably a small place with no records, he thought secretly, and at the same time optimistically wondered if he could improve his attributes by one or two points of labor in the next period of time.

"Each person has an iron pickaxe, a woven bag, a team of five, shares a miner's lamp, and walks down the road that has been detected, if you get lost or encounter something strange, remember to shout for help."

After the group entered the hall of the mine, the person in charge of the Baiyan mine spoke.

"Strange stuff?" Hans was the first to ask, "Aren't we here to mine?" Could it be that there are any other magical beasts in this mine? ”

"yes, I didn't say it was safe here......"

"That's it, I've heard that I'm only responsible for digging for eight hours a day......"

……

For a while, the miners were talking, and even Perrault and Martin, who were brought down together, were suspicious, and it was obvious that they were also kept in the dark.

"Quiet!" The person in charge spoke again, and at the same time a group of strong, unkind-faced men entered the entrance behind him.

After this scene, even the most stupid person should understand the meaning of the mine.

Seeing that everyone had shut up, the person in charge smiled with satisfaction.

"The greater the risk, the greater the harvest, if you want to blame your greed more than caution, not to mention that there will be no problem if you are careful." Then he turned to Perrault and Martin.

"You two are very efficient this time, and the boss is very satisfied, so you don't need to go down, just watch here with a few of them."

Perrault nodded hurriedly, saw Martin's confused face, and slapped him.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Oh, oh, thank you, sir!"

The person in charge snorted through his nose and left with his hands behind his back.

The miners looked at each other.

It wasn't until the person in charge came out of the mine that Perrault breathed a sigh of relief. He first leaned forward to greet the fierce strong men on his back, and then turned to everyone and said helplessly: "You also heard what the adult said just now, and I didn't expect things to develop like this, so I will compensate everyone here, and then please be careful." ”

Although everyone was reluctant in their hearts, they swallowed back what they wanted to say when they saw that the strong men behind Perrault were all dressed in short shirts in such weather, and the muscles on their arms were high and bulging.

Martin looked at Mu Yan frequently, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped.

"What's wrong with you today? The soul is not guarded. Perrault noticed his anomaly and questioned him after the group had left.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, I'll go down and see. Martin gritted his teeth and made a decision that he would be thankful for the rest of his life.

"You're crazy!!" Perrault grabbed him, then realized that he was too loud and hurriedly lowered his voice.

"Don't you hear, 'You may encounter strange things,' and you don't want to live anymore?"

"Brother Perrault, you ...... You don't know, that little ...... Shamuta is important! ”

"Shamu? Who is Shamu? ”

"It's the fool in our town, no, he used to be a fool, but now he knows more than my dad!" Seeing the miners drift away, Martin anxiously explained, "He must be a 'god', like the poet in Beloka, we can't just watch him die, Goddess Mia will blame us!" ”

After saying that, he grabbed a short sword for self-defense and followed without looking back.

Perrault's face was cloudy, but he quickly calmed down.

He snorted. "What kind of bullshit 'gods', it's just that his brain is not bright."

On the other side, after gradually going deeper into the mine, Mu Yan felt a special feeling in his heart.

It seems like...... Here he has been. That's not quite right, it's supposed to be this body.

The craggy ground and the dim vision of the punctuated horizon were punctuated by protruding stone pillars and drooping plant roots, but the body seemed to remember it all and nimbly avoided it every time.

Moreover...... As we deepened, a strong fear began to creep in.

It's strange, I'm afraid of the dark, but it's okay when there are people around......

However, he seemed to understand why the poor boy would be frightened to death when he heard that he was going to come here, and he was sure that the other party had been here, and at least left a psychological shadow of two rooms and two living rooms.

"Shamu!" The shouts from behind him startled Mu Yan.

The five of them turned around together, only to realize that it was Martin.

"Why are you here?" Mu Yan asked in surprise.

"I ...... I'm here to urge you. Martin scratched his head wryly, the dagger hanging from his waist shimmering brightly in the light of the miner's lamp.

Hans snorted and continued on his way with the miner's lamp.

Mu Yan pouted helplessly.

"Brother Xia Mu, aren't you scared at all?"

After walking a little way, Martin asked in a whisper.

However, in the silent mine tunnel, where only the sound of footsteps sounded, this phrase reached everyone's ears. He even felt a slowdown in the progress of the entire team. Everyone seemed ready to hear his reply.

"Hmm...... I'm scared, but instead of worrying about this, I should think about what I should do if something strange really happened. By the way, are there any strange buildings in the area, or strange stories and legends? ”

Taking this opportunity, he intends to collect information again. Because he searched through all the memories of the major events of the "Year of the New Leaves", he found that none of them happened in the Kansa region.

In the near future, the more sensational thing is the story of the beast tide incident in the Gray Valley and the story of the elven clan's Silver Sword Saint Amacer who obtained the Silver Wing Inheritance through the trial and set off to Jialan to find true love.

"Yes, Bard of Beloka......"

"Lorov, you said it." Mu Yan interrupted him.

"Oh......." Martin shut his mouth aggrievedly, and he thought to himself, "Did I say his name?" Did you really say it?

"I heard that a monster flower has grown on the outskirts of Nighttown that is preying on people and livestock, is this a thing?" An uncle with a mole on his chin said.

Night Town Resentful Soul Flower, a very interesting level 40 dungeon, you can go to it when you have time later, but it doesn't help the current situation. So he shook his head anyway.

"The stakes in the mangroves are rotten." Hans stopped, the flesh on his face trembling slightly. "From the innermost, round after round are moldy, as if they are infected with some disease."

You could see that he was terrified.

"Coincidentally, it's also near our town." The lumberjack guy from before was also on this team. "It's starting to rot from the inside, and when I dig out a section of the roots, I find that it's all frozen underneath."

"Speaking of which...... Hans's expression grew terrified: "Two lumberjacks died in the mangrove forest a few days ago, and the bodies were frozen when they were found......

Everyone closed their mouths one after another, looked at each other in horror, and finally focused their eyes on Mu Yan.

Listening to their descriptions, a pair of indifferent eyes kept appearing in front of Mu Yan's eyes.

The pale blue pupils, as if they could freeze the blood, exuded a hint of chill in the darkness.

Cold, decaying, this seems to be the characteristic of the dead......

Wait, the dead!?

In the first year of Dusk, the level 60 Great Lich Zaix was born, and the mad lich raised his laboratory from the ground and set it up halfway up the Hengduan Mountains in an attempt to absorb the essence of the two moons to complete the final step of the experiment - resurrecting his wife. It seems that the specific location is around here?

He is also the leader of the first large dungeon "Immortal Courtyard" in the second expansion "Will of the Dead", and is the first step on the path of transcending the redead for players who have just reached level 60.

The clues were connected together, and Mu Yan understood it at once.

It turned out that as early as three years ago, that is, at the beginning of the year of the new leaves, Zayx had already begun experiments, and the plummeting temperature in the Kansa area, the gradually decaying trees, and even the Night Town Resentment Flower were all possible to be made by him.

It's a pity that these were wiped out in a later battle, so much so that when it comes to the Kansa region, most players who are not born here can only think of the Wish of Light, a safe zone built by the Elemental Tower. That's also a break before entering the dungeon.

Seeing that his expression was very rich, Martin hurriedly asked, "Have you guessed anything?" ”

Mu Yan smiled bitterly: "I guessed, but what's the use of guessing?" It's okay to guess wrong, if you don't guess wrong, you can only help everyone die clearly. ”

As soon as these words came out, the uneasiness that permeated the air became even stronger.

"Dead ...... Die? You're less scaring people! Hans threw down the lamp and grabbed Mu Yan's neckline.

He got too close, spittle stars flying, and Mu Yan also saw that half of his front teeth were hung with vegetable leaves left over from breakfast.

It's just the look on his face that betrays the fear in his heart.

In the next moment, Martin's short sword was resting on Hans's neck.

"You let go!" Although his voice was a little trembling, his determination was evident.

This is the benefit of trust, Mu Yan thought to himself.

Hans let go of his hand and raised his arm to show that he had no ill intentions.

Mu Yan straightened his torn jacket and said lightly: "I won't go any further, go back and fight with those group of muscle sticks and have a chance of life, even if you are killed, you will have a chance to reincarnate, but if you are really taken away by that thing underground, you are ready to become fuel in the fireplace." ”

He's not intimidating. In the game, each player has a chance to be passively resurrected at the beginning of the game, which is the blessing of Goddess Mia, and healing professions such as Priest and Valley Druid can "trick the corpse" once a day to resurrect teammates after the group is destroyed. But if you die from a soul attack, let alone resurrection, even "Shinmiya, get eternal life" won't save you, either buy expensive resurrection items from the game store and face huge losses, or choose to start all over again.

If everyone really bothered the Great Lich Zaix, then what would come to him was his signature skill - "Soul Harvest", also known as the "Anti-Addiction Scythe" by players, without counting the resistance, there are at least 4000 points of damage, and the normal player's health at that level is about 5000, basically all taken away under half blood, and if you don't do it, you have to delete the number, hence the name.

At the same time, it is also the only world first kill won by the famous national clothing local tyrant guild "Autumn Famous Mountain Supercar Club". According to incomplete statistics from the do-gooders, for this first kill, each of these sons threw at least six figures into the mall to buy resurrection props. However, it is precisely because of their efforts that the Wish of Light was successfully established after the first kill, and with the blessings of the Glorious Priests, ordinary players will finally not be easily led.

Mu Yan's plan is to gamble on the chance of resurrection this time, because if you gamble, there will be a show, and if you don't gamble, there will be nothing. This is a real different world, and the soul is not just deleted and restarted, but will be stuffed into the soul furnace as raw materials, simply put, he will never be able to be reborn, and he can't afford to take this risk.

As for going up and that bunch of muscle stick theories? Forget it, with his foot strength, even if there is no obstruction from above, he can't run out of the skill range of "Soul Harvest".

After speaking, Mu Yan turned around without saying anything, and Martin hurriedly followed.

Hans and the others looked at each other, and finally agreed that he was pretending to be a ghost and fooling everyone into working for him, so they continued on their way.

……

As he gradually approached the entrance of the cave, the uneasiness in Mu Yan's heart became more and more intense.

"Martin, do you believe me?"

Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly asked like this, Martin nodded stunned.

Mu Yan took a deep breath.

"Later, if I let you do it, you will stab me to death with a sword."

"What!?" Martin seemed to think he had misheard. "Stabbed you to death?"

“…… A stab is enough, don't be so cruel. I, you have to stab you, but whether you poke yourself or not is another matter. He said seriously.

Martin felt that his brain was not enough, he looked at the short sword, then at Mu Yan, and then looked back at the dark tunnel.

"For ...... Why? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I've never believed in a sixth sense, but now I don't have anything else to do but believe it."

As the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, Mu Yan's tone became solemn.

"For example, how do you keep your money when you face a robber? In the case of not being able to run away, I will choose to throw away the money first, get rid of him and come back to pick it up. If you are snatched away by the other party, you will never be able to get it back. ”

"I understand, but...... Can a person be resurrected after death? ”

Hearing this, he smiled calmly: "I hope I can." ”
