In the darkness, Honghu waited anxiously.

From his point of view, the three of them, Imaginative, Feng Bujue and Jibu, all stood under the hanged corpse, holding their flashlights motionless.

Obviously, Feng Bujue's guess has come true again. The monster in front of him really has some kind of range of control skills.

Fortunately, Honghu did not go with them, otherwise ...... There is a real possibility of total annihilation.

Time passed minute by minute, and the pressure was completely on Honghu's body.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in my ears: [Team Member: Young Master of the Trace Department, deceased. 】

Almost as soon as the voice sounded, the distant traces turned into white light and disappeared......

"Alas...... It seems that the time has come to act when the opportunity comes......" Honghu sighed as he raised his flashlight and looked around.

In this isolated situation, he himself is also dangerous, and God knows what else lurks in the darkness around him...... So he had to check around before he started acting.

"Hmm...... Let's attack first and try it......" Ready, Honghu put the flashlight on the ground, took out his weapon, and drew his bow and arrows.

After a brief aim, a bolt of light shoots out......

Honghu's shooting expertise is already at the A-level level, and he still uses a bow and crossbow weapon (which is better than a firearm), and there is no possibility of hitting a fixed target at this distance.

A second later, the bolt of light swept through the air, striking the corpse in the chest.

Correct...... The arrow did not leave on the corpse, but passed through its body......

"Huh?" Honghu was slightly stunned. His eyes widened, and after only a breath, he muttered, "Phantom? ”

His inference was correct, and it could be reached by a simple method of elimination...... The bolt of light is effective for both entities and spirits, and if you rule out both, the rest may be that the corpse is nothing more than an illusion.

"Hmph...... Do you play this trick......" Honghu snorted coldly, and then drew his bow again, aiming at the rope above the hanging corpse.

Another arrow flew out. This...... The light bolt successfully hits the target.

With just a slight rub, the rope snapped. As soon as the rope broke, the corpse hanging under the rope suddenly disappeared.

At the same second, the whimsical body trembled and jumped up backwards, and he cursed a few times in his mouth. After landing, he immediately assumed a fighting posture and looked around nervously.

"Oh? Lifted it, isn't it......" Feng Bujue looked surprisingly calm, he turned around and looked at Brother Xiao Ma and Honghu. Then he glanced at the game menu again, "Hmm...... The traces are hanging......"

"Just ...... Those ...... just now The wild fear had not yet subsided, and he looked at Brother Jue with a pale face and asked. "What's going on?"

"Don't panic. It's all hallucinations. Feng Bujue replied casually, then turned his head and said in a loud voice to Honghu in the distance, "Honghu, we're fine." ”

"Wait!" Honghu didn't rush to believe it, he still stood still. "Are you sure?" ”

His worries were not unreasonable, what if the scene in front of him was also part of the trap?

"Well...... Feng Bujue said, turning and looking up at the severed rope in the high place. I'm not really sure ......."

It's too late, it's too soon...... The voice did not fall. Brother Jue stepped on his feet and jumped up.

Between the lightning and flint, he had firmly grasped the broken rope that was swinging in the wind, and suddenly pulled it down......

"Ahh Although it was just a shout, the owner of the voice was immediately heard...... It's the guy hanging on the rope.

Brother Pony was immediately startled, raised the flashlight and swept upward.

When I looked at it earlier, the other end of the rope was tied to a protruding crystal from above. But now when the light shines directly there, I find that the outer edge of the crystal pillar is ...... There was a strange creature lying on its stomach. And the "rope" came out of the creature's mouth......

"Ahh......hh Alright! Don't pull it! Let go! The creature said several words in a row, and its tone was not at all gloomy, but it sounded quite kind.

"If you want me to let go, you can do it." Feng Bujue said, "You come down." ”

"No, you don't mean well!" The other party replied.

"You come down." Brother Jue said again, "I promise not to kill you." ”

"I don't believe it!" The guy above shouted, "You crazy zhi (because his tongue is grabbed, he can't pronounce it accurately)!" ”

"No, I'm not crazy......" Feng Bujue said this sentence in a very cold tone, and then ...... Suddenly grinned, grabbed the "rope" with both hands, and began to swing his body sharply, "...... I'm Tarzan! Ahhh......h

Jue Ge learns the signature roar of the animated version of Tarzan (the main character in the main character created by American writer edgar_rice_burroughs) and swings around in mid-air......

The strange creatures on the crystal roared out in almost the same tone......

This situation made the onlookers a little overwhelmed...... However, Honghu quickly came back to his senses and walked in three steps and two steps. Because Brother Jue's behavior at least declares that the danger has indeed been lifted.

Eventually, the guy above came down. If it doesn't come down again, its "tongue" will probably be broken.

"Let me introduce you to you, this is one of the four guards of Chew Demon Island...... Fear of the heart. After standing still, Feng Bujue pointed to the strange creature that fell to the ground and said.

Originally...... The heart of fear did not grow into a "heart". Overall, it looks more like a pitch-black gecko with a two-meter length.

"It's the one that killed the traces?" Honghu asked with a frown.

"It's not accurate to say 'kill'......," Feng Bujue replied, "The trace was hung up because the scare value was overloaded, that is to say...... I was so scared that I popped up the script. ”

"Oh...... Did this guy create those hallucinations......" Pony replied with hindsight.

The heart of fear turned over on the ground at this time, glared at Brother Jue and said, "Can you let go of my seze?" ”

"Absolutely." Feng Bujue immediately let go of the "rope". And he continued, "Look, I'm a man of promise. ”

"Really? Is it true that you are really a 'human'? Fear retracted his tongue into his mouth and replied in a mocking tone, "Then I can only advise you to see a psychiatrist......

"After seeing it, I still consulted with several top psychologists and neurologists." Feng Bujue asked rhetorically.

Fear lowered his voice and said, "So...... Are you still in treatment......"

"No, it's over." Brother Jue said again.

"Uh...... Why give up treatment? Fearful asked.

"Because after a while, those psychologists and neurologists also become patients." Feng Bujue shrugged.

"Forgive me, I'll interrupt the god-like conversation between the two of you......" Honghu couldn't take it anymore. He interjected, "Can any of you explain what happened just now......"

"Does this need an explanation?" "As usual, I found a random place, laid down the 'bait' to hunt, and then I met you." ”

"Oh...... So the situation is...... You ambushed us and killed one of our companions......" Honghu said, "and now...... You have fallen into our hands. ”

"That's right." Fear replied.

"I really admire your upright and open-minded attitude...... Honghu said with a blank eye.

"Good! Now that you've confessed it. Then we have revenge and revenge, and we have accounts to settle accounts! After these few minutes, the imagination has basically shaken off the shadow of fear and returned to normalcy. Thereupon. He took two steps forward. He waved his arm and pointed at the gecko brother on the ground, and shouted, "You scared me for so long just now!" I'm glad I didn't hang up, and now it's my turn...... Feel the wrath of the heroes......"

"Don't be impulsive." Feng Bujue raised his hand to stop Brother Xiaoma, "It's useless for you to kill it...... The traces will not be resurrected. He paused, "Again...... It's not actually 'it' scaring you. It's you scaring yourself. ”

"Huh?" "What do you mean?" ”

"Let me explain." Fear continued, "Earlier, when you came over, I activated my power on you, the 'Source of Trembling'. And what you see, hear, touch, and so on after that...... It's almost up to your imagination......" it shifted. Crawling back and forth on the ground and pacing the trail, "for example...... When you approached the 'bait' I put out. I care about his face, so you start imagining...... What may happen next, what may happen, and so on...... Of course, these are just introductions...... What's really scary is something you can't even think of...... Those things only exist in your subconscious, and that's the change that the source of the tremor will induce. ”

Fear Heart said this, raised its flat head, looked at Little Brother Ma and said, "You are very lucky, your subconscious memory of horror is relatively limited, which limits the space for imagination, so you are not dead." Hehe...... The other kid is different......"

"Anyway...... Jibu has seen many more horror movies, horrors and other things than you, so he can brew richer frightening episodes in his thinking. Feng Bujue was worried that Brother Xiao Ma didn't understand, so he immediately added two additional explanations.

"So what! No matter what the reason is, it's still you who activates the ability! "Wild and loud to the heart of fear.

"Cut...... I'm not forcing you to go within my reach, you can take a detour or go back. The heart of fear was not convinced, "Who can you blame for throwing yourself into the net?" ”

"Hey! That's what you want...... Do we deserve it? Whimsical asked.

"Don't be impatient...... Feng Bujue persuaded in a deep voice, "Actually...... We do have a responsibility. His tone was very calm, making people willing to listen, "This place can easily cause group annihilation (the dialogue between players about the game itself, NPCs of the level of Fear Heart can't hear it, and it will be blocked by the system), so what about it...... The system gave us hints as early as in the previous plot. ”

Jue Ge paused for two seconds, then repeated the advice of the Imitation Spirit: "'If you encounter fear, it is best to run away at the first opportunity, you humans cannot compete with it'. He shrugged and continued. At first, I wondered if Fearheart could really run if it was coming at us with its 'power'. If you can run, can't you stop playing the 'Guessing Fist Field' of the Rubbing Hand? Scold...... Now I understand that what he meant was for us not to get into the trap. ”

"So that's it?" He asked whimsically, he still seemed a little unwilling.

"Hey~ As a hero, you have to know how to forgive others." Feng Bujue read earnestly as if educating children, "Jianyì, you take a look at Teacher Guan Dexing's series." That kind is called Renxia, as long as people are willing to repent and say, 'Master Huang, I was wrong', he will let others live......"

"I'm not wrong." Before Brother Jue could finish speaking, he rushed to say, "Even if I kill you all, it will be within the scope of my duties and powers." ”

Silent...... It's coming......

Suddenly changed to a sympathetic gaze, silently staring at the heart of fear.

"Dry ...... Do? The gecko brother's back suddenly felt a chill.

"Hehe......" at this moment. Feng Bujue hooked the corners of his mouth, and turned his head with an evil smile; With an incomparably cold look, he stared at the heart of fear......

…………

Fifteen minutes later.

"Alas~no_zuo_no_die. That's not wrong at all. He smacked his lips whimsically. He said as he chewed on the unique texture of the "gecko" meat.

"Just listening to the name, I thought it would be a sinister and terrible fellow, but it turned out to be so upright." Honghu also ate the barbecue and sighed, "It's so pitiful." ”

"If you say this kind of line before you wipe your mouth clean, you will lose your temperament." At the same time, he complained unconsciously. He also stuffed a juicy strip of meat into his mouth.

By this time, the three had already built a fire. Sit in place and make a barbecue with the corpse of the Terrified Heart......

It's been two and a half hours since they last eat. Feng Bujue thinks that he should replenish his food every one hundred and fifty minutes. is very important; As long as this rhythm is not broken, the consumption of stamina can be maintained in the same state as in the normal script.

Another thing to mention...... Brother Jue before he started to kill the heart of fear. He also pretended not to embarrass the other party, and made some negotiations.

To put it simply...... Using "you killed one of our companions" as a bargaining chip, he negotiated with Fear, and successfully managed to get to the "Cage of Despair".

After achieving his goal, Feng Bujui did it...... Then it's a one-stop service of killing, cutting, and roasting, and by the way, drinking blood and playing, don't mention it......

All in all, after paying the price of a teammate, the main quest finally has a bit of an eyebrow.

The remaining three rested for a while, and when they were full of flesh and blood, they set off again.

They didn't have a long time to recuperate, partly because it was dark, and partly because it didn't take much of their physical energy out of their fears.

Feng Bujue's analysis in the sacrificial hall is very correct, among the four major guards, the strongest is the soul of imitation, and the other guys are not worth mentioning at all. Although the guards were each endowed with a special ability that was quite rebellious (the Guessing Fist Field of the Rubbing Hand, the mimic transformation of the Soul of Imitation, and the source of the tremor of the Heart of Fear), aside from this, the Innate Racial Ability of the Spirit of Imitation was undoubtedly the strongest.

"Ahh After the three of them got back on the road, within a few minutes, Tianwu suddenly screamed, and turned his head to look at Brother Jue, "I almost forgot to ask...... How did you survive the 'source of trembling'? ”

"Cut...... Shocked...... I thought you were going to ask something, that's it......" Feng Bujue replied weakly.

"I'm curious, too." "Speaking of imagination and memory of all kinds of horror elements...... You can say that you are at the level of a grandmaster. In the face of your brain, even I am willing to bow down......" He paused, his expression changed slightly, "You should be the least likely person to survive from the source of trembling, right?" ”

"Oh? What do you think? Feng Bujue replied quietly.

Honghu continued: "Yes...... Also, Why does Fear Mind say you're crazy? Judging from the conversation between the two of you, you've had a lot of communication with it in the illusion, haven't you? ”

"Huh...... Actually, it's not a big deal. Feng Bujue used a sentence of nonsense to buy himself about two seconds. In the space of these two seconds, he had made up a narrative in his head, the content of which was half-truthful, which should hide the fact that he had no fear, "because when I see something abnormal, my first reaction is not panic or fear, but to think about the reason." ”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and tapped his temple with his index finger: "This habit is ingrained, even if the other person keeps guiding me to what I fear, as long as I can maintain my rationality and calmness, I can fight against it in the illusion." He paused, "Let's give you a simple example...... One day you get up and brush your teeth, turn on the faucet, and find coming out of it......"

"Do you dare to change the example?" Imagination interrupted.

"Well, blood was shed." Feng Bujue changed his words, "At this time, what will you do?" ”

"Analyze the situation rationally and tell yourself...... I was dreaming and then trying to wake up. Honghu thought and said, "Hmm...... If you really can't wake up, then brush your teeth and wash your face with blood, pretending that this is what water looks like, it's all an illusion anyway. ”

Feng Bujue nodded with a smile, but said, "Wrong." ”

"Huh?" Honghu was stunned.

"You're thinking too much." Feng Bujue continued, "If I had encountered that situation, my mind would have reacted instinctively. ”

"What is it?"

"Turn off the faucet."

"Hmm......" Honghu and the whimsical fell into deep thought together. RO
