Chapter 9: I've Changed My Attention

Zhao Ke looked back at Qi Liang on the side, and found that Qi Liang actually fainted, and he seemed to kick a little hard just now, which caught Qi Liang off guard and hit the tree headlong.

Seeing the steady undulation of his chest, Zhao Ke couldn't help but let out a long breath, knowing that Qi Liang was at least alive.

"You complete the main quest, please return to the real space, and receive the reward for this quest."

"After completing the main quest, you can choose to stay in this horror space for ten days, and you can return to reality at any time."

At this time, there was a cold sound in Zhao Ke's ears, and the sound was like someone talking in your ear, but Zhao Ke noticed that the source of this sound was not in his ears, but in his own mind.

In order to apply for this idea, Zhao Ke quickly covered his ears, and sure enough, the voice continued.

"Once you've completed your internship and returned to reality, open the package and get the official postman's stamp and stamp book"

After a series of prompts ended, Zhao Ke stared at the two people at the bottom of the pit in front of him, one of the two was old and one young, one of whom was the female white-collar worker who Zhao Ke had accidentally killed.

I saw her curled up, lying in the corner of the wall below, she was not dead, but it seemed that she was not far from death, because her left arm was directly cut off, and the wound was only simply bandaged, and even if it was cured, it would be disabled for life.

The female white-collar worker stared blankly at the bear corpse whose head had been pierced, and when she opened her mouth to shout something, she remembered that she had no tongue.

Then I looked up, and when I saw standing on the edge of the pit, after seeing the familiar figure standing on the edge of the hole, the female white-collar worker stared, and a cool breath couldn't help but gush down her whole body along the scalp, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Ahh~"

After pointing at Zhao Ke and letting out a series of strange screams, the figure of the female white-collar worker actually began to disappear in front of Zhao Ke, and by the time Zhao Ke realized that something was wrong, the figure of the female white-collar worker had completely disappeared.

"Is it a return?"

Seeing this, Zhao Ke's heart moved, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, Xiong Er is dead, and she can also be regarded as having completed the main quest and can return to reality, but ...... How did she get the assignment? ”

Hunting Xiong Er, this task was obtained after they killed Xiong Er's mother, and the female white-collar worker should not have received such a task, but she was able to return to reality, obviously she also received a similar task, so she was able to return.

"It seems that there is more than one way to receive a task."

Zhao Ke speculated in his heart that if that was really the case, he could only say that the luck of the female white-collar worker was too good, she had been turned into a cripple by herself, and she was able to leave alive in the end.

In contrast, Chen Jing's psychiatrist was much more miserable, and he was slapped on the head by Xiong Eryi, which couldn't help but make Zhao Ke sigh in his heart.

Zhao Ke stared at another person under the pit, it was a middle-aged man who looked to be about fifty years old, and his clothes did not look like a person in reality.

Like the female white-collar worker, the middle-aged man's left hand was also cut off, and he remembered that the big man they killed before had two hands on his body, and he was still wondering why there was a man's hand.

Now it seems that it has been explained, but what makes Zhao Ke wonder is the identity of which big man is who he is, and why he laid such a trap here.

Seeing that the middle-aged man at the bottom of the pit had fallen into a half-dazed state, Zhao Ke simply found a few thick vines around, twisted them together as ropes, and slowly climbed down against the edge of the trap.

"Save ...... Help me......"

As if sensing someone approaching, the middle-aged man struggled to raise his head.

"Who are you? Why is it here? ”

Zhao Ke helped him up, carefully looked at the injuries on the middleman in his eyes, the disability was not fatal, but looking at the extent of the wounds, Zhao Ke could conclude that this person had been trapped here for at least more than two days.

"I ...... The farmers in the village under my mountain, you save me, save me down the mountain. ”

"Farmers!"

When Zhao Ke heard this, he couldn't help but squint at the other party, a cruel light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he smiled slyly: "Okay, but why should I help you." ”

If another person said that he was a farmer, maybe he would believe it, but the middle-aged man in front of him didn't believe it.

His severed hand before was thrown on the table, and he looked at it very carefully.

There are some irregular scars on the thick knuckles, especially on the tips of the fingers, there are hook-shaped meat cocoons, this kind of meat cocoons Zhao Ke is very familiar with, and people who often play climbing will have such marks on their fingers.

This article alone is enough to show that this person is lying, not to mention, this middle-aged man's dress and bulging temples, Zhao Ke doesn't think that the other party can have anything to do with the farmer.

"You send me down the mountain, I'll give you money."

"Money, forget it, how much money can you give me as a farmer, you are so seriously injured, if you die in the middle of the road, I can't explain it, so forget it."

After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he got up and planned to leave, at this time, the middle-aged man's expression changed, and his other hand grabbed Zhao Ke's wrist fiercely, and said hurriedly: "Don't, don't go, don't worry, the person who harmed me is Wang Orion, who has nothing to do with you, you send me down the mountain, and I will tell you a secret." ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Zhao Ke heard a prompt sound in his ears again.

[You have been given the Extended Mission: Escorting the Wounded Down the Mountain.] 】

[Hint: Extended quests and main quests do not conflict, and you can interrupt and return at any time.] 】

Unexpectedly, there was an extension task on this middle-aged man, which made Zhao Ke a little surprised, looked at the middle-aged man, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll send you down the mountain, but you tell me first, why did that Wang Orion harm you, and you tell me what the secret is first." ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but hesitate a little, seeing this, Zhao Ke's face suddenly turned cold, waved his hand and shook off his arm, stood up and said, "If you don't believe me, just stay here and wait for death." ”

Saying that, Zhao Ke was about to leave with an angry face, seeing this, the middle-aged man's face changed, and he couldn't take care of it anymore, and hurriedly said: "Don't go, I said!" ”

"That's right, people have to have trust."

Zhao Ke paused and walked back, staring at the middle-aged man: "Say it, but don't lie, if I find out that you are lying to me, I will leave immediately." ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded, and said to Zhao Ke: "The person who hurt me is called Wang Xiaochang is a hunter ......."

After saying this, Zhao Ke suddenly realized, and many doubts suddenly opened.

It turned out that the middle-aged man in front of him was called Zhou Shun, and the big man who was killed by Zhao Ke and them before was called Wang Xiaochang.

In fact, they are all local hunters, and now it is a disaster year, and the farmer has a great drought, and there is no harvest, and even the prey on the mountain is much less.

Later, Wang Xiaochang didn't know the news he heard there, saying that there was a family on the mountain, whose ancestors were officials, made a fortune, and hid a lot of treasures at home.

Wang Xiaochang moved his mind and called his son and Zhou Shun's other two hunters, planning to lend this treasure.

Of course, Zhou Shun himself said implicitly, what does it mean to borrow? It is clearly prepared to kill people and make more money.

Later, they did see the box hidden under the old lady's bed, but they didn't expect that the old lady and Xiong Er were not human at all.

Two of the hunters were bitten to death by Xiong Er, and Wang Xiaochang's son was bitten by the old lady, and only two escaped.

After Zhou Shun escaped death, he said that he wanted to go down the mountain, but Wang Xiaochang was not happy, he planned to take revenge, after the two had a disagreement, Wang Xiaochang saw this, and simply cut off Zhou Shun's arm with an axe, and made this trap again, and threw him in to use him as bait.

It is also thanks to Wang Xiaochang that he thinks so, knowing that bears don't like to eat dead bodies, so Zhou Shun has been struggling in it until now.

"Little brother, what I said, I promise that everything is true, there is absolutely no place to lie to you, you can take me away quickly."

"Hey...... Where are you? ”

At this time, Qi Liang's shouts sounded above, Zhao Ke raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this kid to wake up quite quickly, looked back at Zhou Shun, pointed to the top of his head and said, "It's just right, I have a brother above, I will pull you up later." ”

"Good, good!"

Zhou Shun's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again in agreement, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, only to see Zhao Ke step forward, hook one hand on his shoulder, and shout towards it at the same time: "I'm here!" ”

"Let me ask you again, you really didn't lie to me?" Zhao Ke suddenly turned his head and reconfirmed to Zhou Shun.

When Zhou Shun heard this, he was immediately a little impatient, and nodded again and again: "Really, really, if I lie to you, I ...... Whining! ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ke suddenly covered Zhou Shun's mouth and nose with his hand, hugged Zhou Shun in his arms, and whispered with his lips close to Zhou Shun's ear: "I'm sorry, I changed my mind." ”

As he spoke, he saw Zhao Ke stretch out a black dagger in his right hand and stab Zhou Shunxin with a knife.
