Chapter 35: The Challenge

Re-equipping the golden silk in green clothes, the man in black before was now gone, and the whole forest was surprisingly calm.

Lin Xi didn't know if he should continue to walk forward at this moment, this was just coming in, and he had already dropped a level, and he didn't know what else was going on.

It's not that Lin Xi is afraid of exploring the unknown, but he is worried that the level he has finally risen to will be cleared as a result.

After staying like this for a while, Lin Xi finally made up her mind, raised her head and continued to walk forward.

Time passed, and Lin Xi didn't know how long he had walked on the road, at that time, looking down from above, he felt that this forest was not big, but now after walking for so long, he still hasn't reached the end.

And Linsey didn't encounter any monsters along the way, it was like a cursed place, and there were no other living creatures except for the clumps of grass and trees.

After another period of time, the surrounding grass and trees began to become more dense, which was not within the scope of Lin Xi's emotions, but a slight jingling sound made Lin Xi's expression pause.

"Is it the sound of wind chimes?" Lin Xi was not sure, so he could only run forward in the direction of the sound.

Finally, passing through a place completely covered by branches and leaves, the world in front of Lin Xi's eyes suddenly changed.

It is a place similar to a novice village, with simple thatched houses on both sides, only a narrow street and a hard stone wall at the end.

The place where Lin Xi was now was at the entrance of the village, and there was a blue wind chime hanging from several wooden village gates, from which the sound that Lin Xi had heard before.

Looking up, there is a stall in front of every thatched house, but the distance is too far to see what is being sold.

And for the arrival of Linxi, an uninvited guest, the crowd that shook the street did not show any reaction, and no one even noticed him, as if it was an invisible air.

"LinglinglingLing............" The wind chimes shook gently, and the melodious ringtones seemed to announce to Lin Xi that all this was not a fantasy, but a reality.

"Big brother, are you from outside? How I haven't seen you. A weak child's voice rang out.

Looking down, a very cute little girl with a ponytail stood beside Lin Xi with a basket in her hand, her bright eyes shining with a faint luster.

"I ............"

Lin Xi was just about to speak, when an old voice sounded from behind Lin Xi: "Lin'er, why did you come out and be naughty again, go home quickly." ”

Lin Xi was startled, and hurriedly looked back, an old man with gray hair and a stiff figure was on crutches, staring at this little girl named Lin'er with doting eyes.

"Grandpa, I'm just going to pick some small flowers in the forest, I'm not naughty, you see if these little flowers look good." After speaking, Lin'er lifted a large bouquet of pink flowers in the basket, and her mouth was full of pride.

"Beautiful, of course good! Of course, the things I picked are the best, but have you forgotten that there are monsters in the forest, you won't be allowed to do this next time, do you hear that? ”

Lin'er stuck out her tongue with a smile, turned around and ran towards the village, just halfway up, she suddenly stopped, waved her hand to Lin Xi, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, welcome to Shiyin Village." ”

Bite! Players discover a new map, Stone Hidden Village, and the system rewards +100 reputation, +1 level, and +5 potential distribution points.

Lin Xi was shocked, it turned out that the rewards here were so rich, in order to be able to deal with more dangers here, plus the 3 points of potential provided by the upgrade, a total of eight points, Lin Xi added three points to the physique, and the remaining five points were all added to the strength of the force.

After doing this, the old man who had been standing behind Lin Xi suddenly spoke: "Outsider, I don't know what your purpose here is, but we are about to face an important crisis here, and I advise you to leave early."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and only then did he think from the system prompt just now that the real identity of this old man was an NPC, and what he said didn't mean that he had a task, and then asked: "Old man, I don't know what kind of crisis Lu Dao is, can I help?" ”

"Your strength is too weak to deal with those horrible guys, I advise you to leave first. It's not a place you can stay. After that, the old man walked tremblingly past Lin Xi's side, but when he looked behind him, Lin Xi found that the old man was actually floating, and his feet did not hit the ground at all.

Lin Xi knew that such an opportunity must not be wasted, and hurriedly ran over, blocked in front of the old man, and continued: "Old man, I know that my strength is weak, but I also want to do my best, I hope I can help you." ”

The old man paused, turned his head to look at Lin Xi, and said in an inquiring tone, "Do you really want to stay here and help us?" ”

"There's a door!" Lin Xi was overjoyed, but nodded with an extremely serious expression, and then said, "I really want to stay." ”

Suddenly, the old man let out a long sigh, looked up at the clear blue sky, and said faintly: "Since you want to stay, I won't force you, but before that, you must pass our test." ”

"No problem." Lynsey said loudly.

Bite! Whether the player Shadow is willing to accept the task and complete the test of Stone Hidden Village.

Lin Xi nodded without hesitation, and the old man's expression suddenly changed, and the eyes that looked at Lin Xi were a little less cold and a little more relieved.

"You are a strong warrior, and for your courage and dedication, I, as the village chief of Shiyin Village, am very grateful to you. At the end of the house lives the strongest warrior in the village, and he will tell you about the test, but he has a quirk that you will know when the time comes. After saying that, the old man ignored Lin Xi and floated into the village.

Lin Xi didn't dare to stay, the previous few missions had cast a shadow on his heart, and it would hurt if there was still a time limit.

Running briskly into the village, unlike before, since accepting the task, the stall set up have all stared at Linsey with kind eyes.

Lin Xi endured these stares, nodding and smiling from time to time, although I wonder if these NPCs can read the meaning of his smile.

At the end of the trot, there was no one to set up a stall here, and the simple and rough thatched hut was very dim.

When Lin Xi stepped in, a cold wind instantly hit his body, and his body couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't stop it at all.

Suddenly, a faint light flashed, and then, Lin Xi only felt cold on his neck, and looked down to see a dagger emitting a ghostly light on his neck.

"Who are you?" A cold voice came from behind Linxi.

Lin Xi adjusted his breathing, dispelled the inexplicable fear in his heart, and replied in a voice as calm as possible, "I am here to be tested. ”

Brush!

As soon as Lin Xi's words fell, a fire suddenly lit up in the originally dark room, and everything around him became clear.

The dagger that had been around his neck was also drawn back at this time.

Turning around, a young man with a handsome face was carefully wiping the dagger, and he didn't feel anything about Lin Xi's gaze.

Lin Xi looked at this person, and was also shocked in his heart, this guy was the guy who gave him a knife before, but he didn't expect that Lu Narrow would meet him here, but after thinking about the details of being killed by him before, Lin Xi knew that he would never be the opponent of this guy.

But despite this, Lin Xi's tone didn't have much respect in it, and he asked flatly, "I'm here to be tested." ”

Who knows, this guy seems to be non-existent when Linsey just wipes the dagger, and has no intention of answering at all.

"Hey, I'm here to be tested." Lynsey was much louder this time.

But the result is still the same.

If he hadn't been able to beat him, Lin Xi really wanted to light this guy on the sky lantern, but for now he could only wait patiently.

What an arrogant NPC!

I don't know how long it has been, looking at the only piece of furniture that exists in the whole room, the dancing flames of the lamp on the wooden table, Lin Xi also let herself fall into absolute calm.

Lin Xi felt as if this silence had lasted for a long time, and the dagger could be used as a mirror under the mechanical wiping of the young man.

Finally, the young man slowly put away the dagger, his eyes raised slightly, and his cold voice was the same as before: "Kill me, accept the test, be killed by me, get out of the village." ”

Lynsey was sure she had heard correctly, but what was the request. Suddenly, I remembered that the village chief had said before, this guy has quirks, is it a challenge?

But what's the challenge? He is no match for him at all.

Bite! Whether or not the player Shadow accepts the challenge of Cold Night.

At this moment, Lin Xi became a little hesitant, what Leng Ye said just now was obvious, if he failed, he would have to walk out of this village. Lynsey's instincts were that there was a huge treasure hidden in this village, and that it would be very beneficial to herself.

But if you accept the challenge, your chances of success are almost zero.

"Forget it, anyway, you have to accept it, what do you want to do so much." Lin Xi was comforted and directly clicked accept in the dialog box.

However, just as Lin Xi finished this action, the cold night that was calm before seemed to change a person, and a killing intent like a substance hit Lin Xi's heart fiercely like a heavy hammer.

"! Is this the beginning? Lin Xi's heart was also tight, the dagger in his hand was held horizontally, and his eyes were staring straight at the cold night.

But the performance of the cold night was like a miracle, and it disappeared abruptly under Lin Xi's eyes.

"Not good!" Lin Xi shouted in his heart, and his whole body quickly rolled forward, and walked out of the door.
