Chapter 32: The Little Fairy Forest
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
The Demon Binding Ice Rope in Hu Lai's skill bar is simply gray at the moment, which also means that it cannot be used, and he cursed silently, and after waiting for a while, he didn't hear the system's prompt, so he waited to teleport out of place and leave here.
This time, the system didn't make him wait too long, and when he finished receiving the reward, the white clouds around him quickly dissipated, revealing the true face of the surrounding space.
Bright and not dazzling sunlight sprinkled on the green grass through the green leaves, Hu Lai has been walking in the forest for more than an hour, but did not find any traces of human traffic, through this hour of exploration, he also determined that this is no longer Taichu Mountain, there are many strange flowers and trees here, but there is no small animal, the silence is a little weird, but it is somewhat similar to the mountains and forests of Taichu Mountain.
Open the virtual menu of the system,There is already an option for a map,This is also what Hu Lai just discovered,Before he was sure that there was no map option in the game,Do tasks、Running the map all rely on your own memory,Now it is undoubtedly much more convenient to have a map,At this time, the name of this place is displayed in the upper right corner of his map。
"Little Fairy Forest?"
Hu Lai held his chin with one hand, this should no longer be the Fengyuan Illusion, but he tried to go offline before but was told that he couldn't go offline, which also made him full of doubts, could it be that this is a special space? He hasn't been off the line for an unknown amount of time, he just wants to get off the line quickly and rest, but now even such a wish has become a luxury.
Hu looked at a few lines in the map, which he had just passed, so it could be displayed on the map, and his location was marked by a green arrow, and the direction the arrow pointed to was the direction he was facing at the moment, and ahead, there was unexplored darkness.
The silence of the forest around him gave him a very peaceful and peaceful feeling at first, but after walking for so long, it was still as quiet as ever, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
Continued to move forward for a long time, Hu Lai's brows gradually twisted together, he always felt that the surrounding environment was somewhat familiar, but completely different, at first he thought he had encountered a formation, but after deducing it, he denied this possibility, opened the map, he also found that he had indeed been advancing, but the darkness seemed to have no end, no matter how he walked, he couldn't get out of here, and he couldn't see any traces of human existence.
Although the sun was shining in the forest all the time, Hu Lai didn't feel the slightest warmth, and even a little chill down his spine, he finally thought of what he had overlooked!
Sunlight! It's been at least six hours since he's settled the reward, but the sun is still in its original position, and there is no change in the shadow of the grass through the leaves, there are only two possibilities for this situation, one, he has fallen into a large array that he can't see at all, and two, he has entered a fantasy somewhere!
Illusion, as the name suggests, is a space formed by illusion, and the map is no longer a guide at the moment, and can even mislead itself.
Hu Lai simply sat on the ground, this kind of thing was the first time he had encountered it, the previous Fengyuan Illusion was actually just a special copy opened up by the system, so the name of the illusion has no practical meaning for the player, but the illusion at this moment is made of illusion, and it is really easy to trap him!
Hu Lai, who was meditating, glanced at it, and then immediately stood up, and the surrounding trees and flowers all became distorted at this moment, and countless whirlpools seemed to appear in the entire space, swallowing everything everywhere into it, and Hu Lai was naturally devoured, and then, Hu Lai lost consciousness.
In the dark, the sound of a sharp blade on the wood came, Hu Lai opened his eyes a little confused, what he saw was a beam full of ancient Chinese architectural style, he sat up with his arms propped up, the dizziness in his mind continued, he couldn't help frowning, and glanced at the source of the sound, a seven or eight-year-old boy was holding a carving knife on a piece of wood, at this time he also stopped the movement in his hand, looked at him in a daze, and then blinked, put the things in his hand on the table next to him, and walked out.
Hu Lai opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but when he saw the child's appearance, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.
This is a small wooden house of less than fifteen square meters, there is only a table and two chairs and the wooden bed he is lying on in the house, it is very simple, it seems that the owner of this room is not rich, and the child's clothes before are quite similar to the clothes of Gu Huaguo, the short shirt of coarse linen clothes, and the hair is all tied up, Hu Lai until, this should be the house of a certain NPC.
Hu Lai got out of bed and pushed open the door, this is a farmer's courtyard, but there is no fence or anything like that, there are two rooms in the small courtyard, which look much larger than here, and in the middle of the courtyard, there is freshly burned firewood ash, and a simple wooden frame supports a broken black pot.
"The open-air kitchen? What is it like on a rainy day? ”
Hu Lai muttered, and then looked into the distance, this seems to be a small village, much smaller than the deciduous village, it is estimated that there are dozens of households, the population is no more than 200 people, in the distance is an endless forest, the scenery is also pleasant.
"Forest?"
Hu Lai frowned, when he was unconscious before, he was also in the forest, looking at the strange trees in the forest in the distance, it looked the same as the forest he was in before.
"This little brother, are you awake?"
Hu Lai heard the sound and saw two people, one big and one small, walking out of a small hut next to him, the small one was naturally the child just now, and the adult was dressed as a scholar, about thirty years old, with a white face and no beard, but still a little handsome.
This man walked up to Hu Lai and arched his hand: "Yesterday, I saw that the little brother was unconscious outside the village for some reason, so I took the little brother to my home, I don't know if my body is okay at the moment?" ”
After Hu Lai was stunned for a moment, he also arched his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you, Your Excellency, I uh, I feel much better in the next place." ”
"Hehe," the man chuckled, "I don't have to worry about Xiayun," and then pointed to the little boy next to him, "This child's name is Mu Yun, a disciple below." ”
"It's Father!" Mu Yun lowered his head and protested in a low voice.
Hu Lai glanced at him meaningfully and said, "There is no face in the bottom." ”
Yun Wuwu gave his hand again, indicating that he knew, and then made a gesture of please and led Hu Lai to another room.
As soon as he entered the door, Hu Lai's eyes were even brighter, the furnishings and layout in this room were very exquisite, and the tables and chairs, tea sets, beds and screens in the bedroom were placed very reasonably, which also made him more sure of his guesses. It's just that for some reason, he can only check the names of Yun Wuwu and the others now, in addition to the names, even the attributes such as health value can't be viewed, just a simple red blood bar, without any value.
After Hu Lai sat down, he thought for a while and said: "Brother Yun, looking at your bearing, you are not like an ordinary mountain villager, but the village here must have been isolated from the outside world for a long time, and there should be no person with the temperament of Brother Yun, right, can Brother Yun solve your doubts below?" ”
Yun Wuwu smiled kindly, and said: "I have also traveled here, and I saw that the scenery here is very good, and Mu Yun, the child, is fated with me, and I am tired of all kinds of outside worlds, so I decided to settle here." ”
Hu Lai secretly said that this is indeed the case, it seems that there is a task? Why else would you send you to me? Uh, as if to send yourself to them
However, no matter how Hu Lai guided, he never received a hint of the task, which also made him very distressed, this is obviously the plot of the mission, but why don't you release the task?
The two chatted for a while, Hu Lai excused himself for a headache, returned to the previous hut, tried to go offline again, and was still told that the offline failed, and Hu Lai fell into contemplation again.
"There must be a quest here, but it has never met the conditions for receiving the task," Hu Lai thought secretly, "There is another possibility, the NPC who issued the task is not Yun Wuwu, nor will it be Mu Yun, so it is very likely that there are NPCs in the village who issue the task?" ”
The more Hu Lai thought about it, the more likely it became, pushed open the door and found that Yun Wuwu was not in the courtyard, only the child named Mu Yun moved a small stool and sat in the courtyard and kept carving the wood in his hand, Hu Lai occasionally skimmed it, not like he was carving a portrait, it may not be long before he started carving, only the lower body is relatively clear, the feet of the statue are ****, and there seems to be dense hair on the legs, Hu took a look, and inexplicably felt a little weird, but at the moment he didn't understand, nodded at him and left, and the child left after he left, Raising his head slightly, he glanced at his back blankly, and then stared at the wood carving with an expressionless face.
After Hu Lai went out, the whole village seemed very quiet, even a little strange silence in his opinion, opening the map, all the houses and alleys of the village were marked, and the name of the village was also marked in the upper right corner.
"Unknown ???"
Hu Lai somehow, seeing the word unknown, a cold air rushed to the back of his head, he didn't have fear or anything like that, but this cold air came a little inexplicably, and he looked at the empty streets around him, which was also the only place in the village that could be called a street, but except for a few children running and playing on the street, there was no adult in sight.
Hu Lai pouted, he didn't believe that he could get the task by going forward and asking this group of children, it seems that the problem is back to Yun Wuwu's body, I don't know if it's the reason for the progress of the plot or something else, at present, he can't get in touch with the adults in this village, except for Yun Wuwu!
Yun Wuwu obviously has a problem, but what the problem, Hu Lai can only observe and observe first, anyway, he can't leave here, he can only stay in the previous courtyard for the time being.
After returning in the evening, Mu Yun was burning firewood, it seemed that he was cooking, Hu Lai walked in and took a look at the things in the pot, there were only some green vegetables in the water that he didn't recognize, Hu came to see Mu Yun from a distance and brought a lot of firewood, and he was embarrassed to just watch, so he also started to help him fill the firewood.
At the end of this meal, that is, the vegetables were boiled with water, and then a little black salt was put in, Hu Lai took the wooden bowl handed over by Mu Yun, tasted it, and it was not too unpalatable, the taste of this wild vegetable itself was good, and there was some fragrance, which also made him, a guy who hadn't eaten for a long time, eat a lot.
Hu Lai also enjoyed such a comfortable day for a few days, in fact, he already wanted to quit the next day, but was left by Yun Wuwu, Hu looked at the forest in the distance, he didn't figure out how to get out of this strange forest, so he also decided to stay here for a few days now, and by the way, he also investigated this village full of secrets.
This is the fifth day that Hu Lai woke up, Yun Wuwu suddenly came to Hu and said that he was going out for a few days, hoping that when he was away, he would help take care of Muyun, Hu Lai naturally nodded and agreed, and then Yun Wuwu left, just a small prelude when Yun Wuwu left, but Hu Lai groped his chin and thought about it for a long time
