Chapter 11: The Existence of Terror

"You said that if you save them, will you reward us with a set of legendary equipment! Wow Ka maybe even epic! ”

Zhan Ruyi sent the news, and he was still immersed in his fantasies, revealing joy in his words.

Lin Shuai didn't tell her her purpose, she really didn't bother to think about the consequences of these people, naïve.

can't be said to be stupid, normal people face NPCs in distress, their first thought must be to save NPCs and then ask for benefits, how can they find ways to kill them...... But who made Lin Shuai an alternative with "persecution paranoia".

"If you just want to equip rewards, what's the use of being so troublesome." Lin Shuai grinned, closed the chat bar, and chased in the direction where the NPCs fled.

This chase is a full hour.

Lin Shuai found a corpse again, or corpse fragments, in a muddy puddle, this warrior NPC died in the same way as Wang Lin before, it was all forced to explode from the inside of the body by something, and the death was extremely terrifying.

The aftermath of the battle shattered all the vegetation that grew in the area, and the dense mangrove forest was torn open a deep opening, leading to the depths of the area.

However, after Lin Shuai's observation, he found that the passage to the interior of the mangrove forest had not just been opened, as if it had existed for a long time, and these people had just opened a gap at the end of the complete passage.

The smell of blood soon attracted a few wandering rotten fishmen, who began to gulp down the mud mixed with blood, Lin Shuai did not have good luck picking up the storage ring this time, and only harvested a rotten armor, but got a waist card.

【Warden Division: Sannomiya】

[Grade: Unknown]

[Item Description: Identity token, holder - Li Xiang.] 】

……

It was actually the waist card of the Warden Division, Lin Shuai frowned, he never thought that there were people from the Warden Division intervening here, could it be that the affairs of Longyuan City were acquiesced by the royal family?

I don't know what the "three palaces" mean, Lin Shuai guessed that it might be from a different department, and threw the waist card into the storage space, although the name was engraved on it, but it was enough to bluff low-level NPCs.

After a short pause, Lin Shuai lit a torch and walked towards the interior of the mangrove forest, the passage was extremely dark, and he needed lighting tools.

The power of light is not used, because it will attract the attention of those inside, although the fire of the torch is also the result of the condensation of the elements, it is fundamentally different from the flame of magic.

The most notable point is that the magic flame will be mixed with the caster's mana and mental power, which even a magic apprentice can tell, because it is a beginner's homework.

……

The passage through the mangrove forest is entirely made up of intricate branches and roots, which is unreal to step on, but very sturdy.

Lin Shuai found on the wall of the passage that had rotted the fur of the monster, which seemed to have fallen off the body of some kind of large animal, with a sour smell, the kind that had not been bathed for a long time, in stark contrast to the unique rancid smell of the swamp.

It is speculated that the interior of the mangrove forest is inhabited by a furry monster, and that these passages are it/their masterpieces.

"The more chaotic the better, it's best to find a way to burn them here together with a fire......" A bold idea suddenly rose in Lin Shuai's mind.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his hands had already acted, and he put the torch on the messy branches, and suddenly sizzled.

A puff of green smoke rose with a scorching smell, and the trees of the mangrove forest grew very thin, but lush.

The passage was originally entangled with countless thumb-thick branches, and the torch immediately burned a scorched black trace, but Lin Shuai retracted his movements.

There is biogas in the swamp, and the miasma also has a certain combustion effect, if the mangrove forest catches fire, I am afraid that it can directly detonate the entire swamp, and the uninhabited island will have to be blown out of a hole! Charlie or Maxwell can spare himself? ……

And...... Such a large mangrove forest has grown on an uninhabited island for hundreds or thousands of years, and it would be haunted if it could be lit by its own small fire.

Putting away the unrealistic thoughts, Lin Shuai continued to move forward.

Not far away, the roar of some kind of monster suddenly came from the depths of the darkness, and the anger was soaring to the sky.

Eighty percent of the group provoked the creatures in this woods again, and they didn't hear any other sounds, and the monster was still a loud voice.

Speeding up his pace, Lin Shuai noticed that the trunk of the passage had changed from white to black.

Mangroves are due to the fact that the leaves of this tree are naturally red, like the maple trees in February, while the trunk is grayish-white.

Inside the passage, there are large areas of magic burn marks, as well as damage from unknown AOE blasts, revealing gaps leading to other passages.

This group of people has been going inward and has never changed lanes, Lin Shuai can't help but be a little suspicious, how do you feel that they are moving forward purposefully?

Otherwise, if you run away alone, then it will be safer for a group of people to run separately.

A hint of bad feeling faintly rose in his heart, Lin Shuai quickened his pace, threw away the torch that was in the way, and the touch of light lit up above his head.

There was already an obvious sound of fighting ahead, and the group of NPCs seemed to have found their target, and it didn't matter if they were violent or not at this time, Lin Shuai always felt that he was going to miss something.

……

In the depths of the passage, a group of 14 people were all dressed in gorgeous costumes, and their whole bodies were shrouded in layers of aura, like a group of mortal gods, making the dark passage as bright as day.

It's just that the situation of these people is not very good now, in front of them is Weiss standing on the transparent throne, with a shield as thin as a cicada's wings, but it is indestructible.

The Berserker's monstrous axe slashed at it only slightly dented, and it required a concerted effort of magical skills to break the shield for a moment.

However, there was no obvious damage on Wes, and it didn't take long for the shield to resurface.

And Weiss only needs to move his fingers lightly, or open his mouth, he can make a group of people scramble, that kind of strange attack from the body is impossible to prevent, if it can't be solved by the priest's dispersal technique, it is not as simple as killing two cannon fodder.

In front of him was Wes, who was unfathomably powerful, and behind him were three monsters with the head of a snake and a lion.

The monster is four or five feet long, with eight claws on either side of its body, four of which are used to assist in crawling, and the other four claws each hold heavy metal bars as weapons.

Each metal stick must have at least one hundred and eighty pounds, and the tiger and tiger wielded by the monster are vigorous, although the level is weaker than this group of people by one level, but it is completely overshadowed in strength!

The twelve metal rods were like a shield wall that smashed down with a head and face, making the knight in charge of the monster fall backwards, if it weren't for the clergy wearing holy white robes behind him, who kept applying various powerful buffs and healing skills to him, I'm afraid the paladin would have become the third person to fall.

"May the Holy Light protect you, mysterious Captain Qin, if you don't make another move, let alone find the Heart of the Earth, we will soon return to the Lord's arms!"

So said a white-claded bishop.

……

Insert a digression.

The worldview I conceived had to be composed of three worlds, a mixed civilization, a Western civilization, and an Eastern cultivator.

Xiuxian doesn't dare to write, Western civilization has opened a new book "The Soul of the Dead", the update of this book will not change, I hope the big brothers will help me to give that book a collection, thank you!

……

The person who was called "Captain Qin" by the cardinal in white was Qin An, whom Wang Lin shouted before he died, and he was also the leader of the Prison Department in this special operations team.

Qin An's face was expressionless, staring at the inconspicuous wooden door behind the three snake-bodied lion-headed monsters, his eyes were delicate, and he couldn't see the slightest panic and anxiety in the face of such a dangerous situation.

"The Heart of the Earth is something that a big man needs, and naturally it can't be lost."

In the face of the white cardinal's request, Qin An finally spoke slowly, and his voice cut through everyone's hearts like a knife, making people instinctively feel disgust and fear.

"The rule power of this world is a little different from the current world, and the urging of the forbidden weapon also needs to adapt to time, you don't have to rush, someone Qin will definitely not watch you die."

Qin An said, his right hand was raised, revealing a palm-sized jade plate, the light on it was mottled, and the formation patterns were sluggish, as if it was really as he said, he needed to adapt to the law energy of the current world.

"This ......" the middle-aged white cardinal stopped talking, his face ugly.

should be the strongest person among everyone, but at this moment he was dragged by a forbidden weapon and couldn't make a move, but he knew that only the power of the forbidden weapon was the hope of everyone's survival, and his uneasy emotions were strong.

"Bishop Neil doesn't believe me?" Qin An turned his head in an unhappy tone, "You know the origin of my forbidden weapon, and you should know that I have made a bloody investment, can I still have a different heart?" ”

"That's not what I meant......"

Bishop Neil shook his head and said, although Qin An didn't make a move, but everyone pointed at him, how dare he offend.

With a low sigh, he silently chanted a spell and cast a divine spell to bombard the three monsters, and when the paladin was able to breathe, Neil's face became even more ugly.

The power of the laws of this piece of heaven and earth is indeed as Qin An said, the higher the power cast, the more restricted it is, and it will even produce backlash.

Otherwise, this task would not have been carried out by a "lowly" white bishop, who knew what the big people involved in this matter were, and the white bishop who was in charge of a diocese did not even have a say.

"Bishop Neil didn't mean that, Captain Qin doesn't need to be angry, it's just that Henry is about to lose his bearing, we will inevitably be anxious, you also know Henry..."

A graceful bishop, also dressed in a white robe, spoke, with a holy tone that could not be blasphemed, exonerating Bishop Neil.

(From the above rules for the election of virgins, you should know that there is no such thing as discrimination against women in the miracle of the Holy See, and the existence of female bishops is very reasonable, even ...... Well, secrecy. )

Bishop Yalan vaguely mentioned the identity of the paladin Henry, but not in a threatening tone, Qin An's face softened, he seemed to care, and said in a compromised tone, "Hold on for a while, give me three minutes." ”

"May the Light bless you."

Bishop Arran's voice was full of joy, she had always been pampered, she had rarely experienced the rain of blood, she was inevitably a little panicked in the face of such a scene, joy and anger were in shape, and the bishop's majesty was lacking, which was a very rude move for the clergy of the Holy See.

Their credo was that the sword should be held around the neck and the "hymn" should be sung solemnly, so Bishop Neil's brow furrowed.

The middle-aged magister on the side frowned, he was thinking about how to deal with the Wang family even after he went out? The younger generation of second-seeded players died here for no apparent reason, and it is strange that the Wang family is not angry.

In addition to the Warden Department who is the person from the City Lord's Mansion here, the paladin also has the background of the Kenlo family, and the Wang family does not dare to offend easily, isn't he, the mage named in the magic union, the only outlet?

Why did you lie in this troubled water! The Magister sighed to himself.

He came here for the name of another world, and he thought that he could get some rare alchemy materials, and then refine an amazing potion to become famous in one fell swoop, he didn't expect it to be such a mess!

The fourteen survivors, Gu Du had different thoughts on something, and the audience suddenly fell silent, and from time to time there were eyes sweeping towards the brighter and brighter jade plate in Qin An's hand, which was the hope of the whole village.

Qin An took in the eyes of these people, his face remained unchanged, and he sneered in his heart.

The people involved in this matter had no intention of letting them out alive.

In the anxious waiting, the battle continued, and the most stressed paladin couldn't help but bleed from the corners of his mouth.

With the loss of two warrior classes, the Berserker and another Guardian are left in the field, and the Berserker can't hold back the hatred of the Magus, so the Guardian must stand up to Wes and can't spare his hand to help him.

Although the level of the three snake-body lion-headed monsters is low, they are the gatekeepers who guard the gate, and they belong to the boss level, which can be solved so easily.

"The forbidden device is ready, get out of the way!"

As soon as the time limit was up, Qin An took control of the jade plate forbidden weapon with difficulty, and shouted at the two people in the direction of Weis, and after shouting, regardless of whether they heard it or not, a ray of light shot out from the jade plate, vaguely containing all the stars and everything, directly covering the three.

"......" Wesmer's dramatized face finally showed a different expression, as if curious, but then swallowed by the light.

The melee two narrowly avoided it, a trace of fierceness flashed in the berserker's eyes, and he quickly hid it, if he hadn't been paying attention to Qin An, he wouldn't have been able to avoid it at the speed of this attack! The two of them walked before the ghost gate closed!

"Be careful!" The guardian also spoke in a bad tone, he was not a member of the Warden Division, so he didn't need to have respect for Qin An, the position of this captain was chosen by everyone based on strength, not status.

"There's too much energy to control." Qin An explained softly, sweat droplets slipped from his sideburns at the right time, and the guardian snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Qin An said: "My forbidden weapon can only seal him for a moment and a half, and quickly solve these monsters, there will be many obstacles before getting the target, and there will be no delay." ”

The jade disc had been shattered into several pieces, dimmed, and the forbidden weapon could only be used once, often possessing incomparably powerful power.

Everyone couldn't hurt Weiss at all, and he was firmly imprisoned in a white space, and it seemed that he couldn't get out for a while.

The Guardian stepped forward to take over the two serpent-bodied gions, and the one-man tall dark gold shield was clanged by eight metal rods, and it spread far and wide in the deep passage.

The paladin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, which had already suffered a lot of internal injuries.

"Let there be light, says God."

Bishop Neil cast his magic again, and a large amount of light fell on the paladin's head, his injuries healed, and Bishop Neil's face became more and more ugly.

In a world where there are other gods, with the divine power that does not belong to this world, the backlash is particularly serious, he has already used it three times, and if he does it again, I am afraid that it will directly ask him to cultivate half of his body.

"Bishop Neil, thank you for your hard work."

Henry saw it in his eyes, and unconsciously added a lot of good feelings to this bishop, his identity is one thing, and such a loyal believer must be cultivated by the Holy See.

"Bishop Arran, it's up to you next."

Neil shook her head and said to Bishop Arran weakly, she nodded, uneasiness written on her face.

Bishop Neil sighed inwardly.

When Lin Shuai arrived here, he only saw a small white space with a thin man locked in it, smiled at him, and made a few funny movements, like an actor in a mime.

There were three terrifying monsters lying in front of them, but they were all corpses, and a small wooden door was opened in front of them, and there was a faint red light inside.

Lin Shuai first went to check the three monsters, and the NPC battle will not explode the player's equipment, so the corpse will not be refreshed quickly.

It's not that it's worthless, Lin Shuai quickly shook the collection technique, but he didn't get anything, but his proficiency began to skyrocket, and after a while, it rose to the full proficiency of advanced lv3.

Monsters that can't see the level, even collecting the next hair is enough to bring huge benefits.

"Hint: Get Thulium Metal Stick x1."

Lin Shuai's eyes were hot when he looked at those sticks, but he didn't expect that it was really thulium, a high-grade material in the Don't Starve game, and the weapons made of this thing belonged to the top equipment!

I suddenly felt very good, this one hundred and eighty pounds of pure metal stick is enough to equip the two of them with a thulium equipment, which is like a shotgun for a gun!

"Are you...... Wes? ”

Lin Shuai cautiously approached the white space and asked hesitantly, because the balloon in his hand was too recognizable.

I can't help but feel a burst of absurdity, the most wasteful character in the starvation game actually beat a group of high-level NPCs here?! Twin little Lori is going to cry to show you!

"......" doesn't know if the sound of this space will be blocked, Weiss rarely speaks, and he is deeply autistic, just looking at Lin Shuai curiously, and his every move is full of untruth, because he is an excellent mime actor.

Secretly stunned, he didn't dare to step forward to touch the white space, Lin Shuai was a little confused about how the strength of the plot characters in this world was arranged.

It didn't take long for Lin Shuai to turn around and leave, and felt towards the wooden door.

It was unknown how long the white space would be able to hold Weis, and he was now more curious about the purpose of this group of people, as well as ...... They have such a clear goal, is there a way to go back?

Otherwise, if they desperately break into a sinister and unfamiliar environment, these people will not think that they will have a long life if they can't deal with the aftermath.

The wooden door was made of countless twigs, Lin Shuai reached out to push it, the tentacles were cold, and some small thorns on it suddenly pierced the skin, stained with a trace of Lin Shuai's blood.

I didn't pay much attention to it, the world after pushing the door was red, not the deep passage I thought, but a huge space.

The space is completely interwoven with black-brown tree trunks, with no top, and a bright red light source at some point at some point, and a strange sound echoes throughout the space.

"Plop... Plop..."It's like there's a huge heart beating.

The space is overgrown with trees, and the black forest gives people an extremely oppressive feeling, and those trees are even more strange like demons.

Directly ahead, those NPCs have been blasted out of a path that can be passed, Lin Shuai saw blood splattered, I don't know if it was the NPCs or these trees.

When entering the passage, Lin Shuai felt a slight sense of inclination, but the slope was very weak, and the branches under his feet were mixed with mud, which was easy to blind the perception of outsiders.

Now it seems that this space is indeed deep underground, otherwise in the outside world, it would be difficult to block such a dazzling red light source.

【Thorn Guard: ??? 】

[Note:??? 】

The strange trees were all monsters that could not see the rank, and Lin Shuai cautiously approached them.

In order to be fast, the NPCs blasted out the passage only a few meters wide, and according to the normal setting, this distance will definitely not be able to get out of the monster's cordon, unless they are all summoned monsters.

The branches of the thorn guard squirmed, and the tip was faintly aimed at him, and Lin Shuai sighed secretly and retreated 40 yards away.

The monster trees are not summoned monsters, and the cordon is far away, farther than their own attack range, and it looks like they are going to stop there.

Originally, it wasn't an area that his level could get close to, he was just stained with the light of the NPCs, otherwise the three monsters guarding the door would be enough to die countless times.

After all, game designers still have to keep their jobs, how can there be so many bugs to drill.

Lin Shuai was thinking hard, and a balloon floated silently behind him, wrapping himself in it.

Lin Shuai was startled, turned his head and saw that Wes was already sitting on the transparent throne and slowly floated in, and smiled at himself again.

"......" Wes silently pointed forward, and then pointed at Lin Shuai, revealing an inquiring look.

Meaning, you're going in?

"It's... I want to go in and see, those people have a grudge against me. ”

Lin Shuai replied hesitantly, it seems that Weiss seems to be kind? The name is the bright red color of the monster.

Due to the contradiction between Weiss and those people, Lin Shuai chose to lie and tried to draw the relationship between the two, in fact, if the NPC's target was only something deep in the mangrove forest, Lin Shuai and them would not have any conflict.

Wes bowed his head and remained silent, slowly puffing up a balloon in his hand and fiddling with it, as if thinking about something.

In the end, the balloon swelled into the shape of a flower, and popped away, Wes raised his head, didn't look at Lin Shuai, and floated straight into the woods.

Lin Shuai followed behind him, and the balloon wrapped around his body slowly floated off the ground.

The stunned Lin Shuai was even more confused, he didn't know what Weiss was doing, the balloon flower was a little familiar, it seemed to be the "flower of Abigail".

"Do you know Wendy? There may have been some misunderstanding between the two of us...... Charlie helped us get it right. ”

Lin Shuai licked his face and said, Wesley ignored it.

The guards next to him didn't seem to be able to look at Lin Shuai's nonsense, and the rattan mixed with black light smashed down on his face, and the smashed balloon cover slammed, Lin Shuai's face changed slightly, for fear that the balloon would suddenly burst, but he couldn't even stand it.

Fearfully, under the leadership of Wes, he advanced a few hundred meters, and there was a roaring battle sound in front of him, and the blood on the ground was getting fresher and fresher, and he could hear the angry scolding of the NPCs in front of him.

Wes suddenly stopped, rubbing the balloon motionlessly in place, and those dryads only attacked Lin Shuai and ignored him.

What does this mean? Let the monsters consume the strength of the NPCs first? Lin Shuai guessed in surprise, but how did he feel that Weiss was deliberately letting these people in?

Lin Shuai was even more curious about what was going to happen.

The sound of the fight is getting farther and farther away, and soon the sound is no longer audible, and the NPCs' combat power is still very fierce.

So Weiss began to move, and stopped again when he could just hear the sound, Lin Shuai attacked through the dense rattans, saw a large blood stain on the ground mixed with a human arm, and thought that someone should hang up again.

I really can't see that the taciturn Wes still has such a sinister side.
