Now that the situation is basically understood.

No more wasting time, by random teleporters, to the middle level of the cave.

In fact, this is also a process of luck.

It was as if Lu Ran and Bai Yu's luck at the beginning was definitely the best among all the two hundred students, and there was actually a "Ten Ghosts" sealed at the bottom of the mountain hidden in the small [Aquatic Village].

Of course, a wrong conversation or a wrong choice will cause the hidden event to not be turned on.

There are more events in the middle area, and if you are lucky, you may be able to get a high-level relic suitable for Lu Ran.

This time the teleportation time is relatively long.

When they were conscious, the two landed in an alley.

"Town!?"

Since it is a town area, there is a high probability that there are cave creatures living here.

Bai Yu controlled a relatively obese worm, dragged Lu Ran's eyeball bracelet, sneaked out of the alley, and began to explore the town.

Small town.

Most of them are two-story bungalows, and their total area is about the same as that of town-level cities in the human world...... Far from being comparable to [Aquatic Village].

Sand.

The ground is covered with a layer of yellow sand that is more than ankle high, dry and has very low moisture content, and it is easy to die from lack of water if you live in this place for a long time.

Creature.

Indeed, this town is inhabited by cave creatures, all wrapped in impenetrable cloaks because of the wind and sand...... Most of the creatures are standing and walking, humanoid.

Vendors, guesthouses, and even entertainment venues exist.

The town also has an independent economic system, and 'water' is the only currency of exchange.

At the same time, Lu Ran also received a system prompt.

"You have entered [Strange Town], and your current exploration is 0%...... Please explore the area for more information.

(Note: (1). Obtaining key information, items or contact with important people may open related events.) After completing the event, you can greatly increase the degree of exploration.

(2). Before the exploration level is lower than 60%, you can't leave [Strange Town]...... Those who force their way through will be in an extremely dangerous situation)

(3). You can check the details of your exploration progress and activated events at any time through the Hell system.

"Strange Town ......"

At this time, Bai Yu took the initiative to petition and walked out of the alley: "I'll try to see if I will be recognized as an "outsider" according to this costume." ”

"Hmm."

Bai Yu has a relatively special ability, once discovered, he can immediately disintegrate into a worm and escape.

A few minutes passed, and Bai Yu returned to indirectly indicate that the disguise of the "Hell Trench Coat" should not reveal his identity, and it was almost no different from these townspeople wrapped in cloaks on the street.

In addition, Bai Yu also obtained a lot of additional information.

"There's something strange about these townspeople."

"How?"

"The biotic sense is very weak, even weaker than a bug...... But there is a certain sense of danger, and I don't dare to let the little bugs burrow into their bodies to check the details. ”

"That's ...... Let's go out and see! If possible, find a homestay to stay in and get information through the right channels...... After all, I'm supposed to be 'rich' here. ”

"Okay."

With the help of the translation of the text by the hell system, Lu Ran found a homestay.

With just half a bottle of water, you were granted residency for up to ten days.

Of course, it is impossible for Lu Ran to stay for so long...... It would be best if you could find the "36 murderers" hidden here within half a day, and the longest should not exceed one day.

In the transaction, Lu Ran noticed.

Although the proprietress of the inn could speak, what protruded from under the cloak was a wooden arm, and through the wooden joints, it seemed that there was no flesh in the arm at all.

"You're supposed to be 'outsiders', aren't you?"

When they first checked in in the B&B with a good environment, the proprietress said that the two of them were slightly startled, and Bai Yu immediately had a killing intent.

Immediately, the proprietress removed the hood to reveal her true face, and said through the opening of her chin and the spring articulation device in her mouth:

"Distinguished guests, make no mistake! I don't have any animosity...... Our town has never rejected "outsiders", as long as you have "pure water", you are our honored guests. ”

The proprietress under the hood suddenly became a delicate puppet, including the two eyeballs, all of which were wooden.

It's no wonder that in Bai Yu's perception, the vitality of these townspeople is extremely low, it turns out that this is the case.

"It seems that [water] is so valuable to them that the hostess treats us as 'honored guests'.

It's uncertain whether the cave creatures here are hostile to the "outsiders...... But the proprietress is definitely a smart person, knowing that we must have abundant water resources in our hands, so she took the initiative to help us hide our identity.

Trying to get more water out of our hands.'"

Lu Ran directly took out half a bottle of pure water that he had drunk before and put it in front of him.

This scene directly made the wooden eyes on the boss's face roll wildly, and she was excited...... I'm afraid she's never seen so much water in her life.

"If we can get enough information, this bottle of water will all belong to you."

Lu Ran said, first giving a bottle of water as an opening fee.

The proprietress knelt on the ground and connected her hands!

When pure water comes into contact with the palm of the hand, a hose immediately appears from the palm of the hand to draw the water into it...... Right to the brain.

Pure water is the only thing available to awaken and activate their brains.

"Good! Pls sir ...... As soon as I know it, I'll answer it. ”

'Money' is really a good thing, and this proprietress knows a lot of things.

In this way, after a two-hour Q&A session, the exploration of [Strange Town] increased by 10%, which shows that the proprietress is not lying.

Among them, Lu Ran learned that the townspeople in the [Strange Town] were difficult to adapt to such a dry and sandy environment due to the scarcity of water.

The human body can only be abandoned, and the puppet shell can be replaced to resist the wind and sand, and only the brain and reproductive system can be preserved.

The first person to introduce this technology to the town was an outsider who did not belong to the town, and they called the Puppet Lady.

Now, the Puppet Lady has trained a number of puppeteers to perform puppet surgeries on new townspeople, and no longer appear in person.

"[Lady Puppet] lives in a mansion in the town, but no one knows where it is."

This is the proprietress's original words, Lu Ran also deliberately lurked on the roof of the building, overlooking the entire town, and indeed failed to see any buildings similar to the mansion.

In addition, the proprietress also gave Lu Ran a detailed map of the strange town.

"Boss lady, where are those puppeteers trained by the [Puppet Lady]?"

"The puppeteer is also uncertain, only the newborn in the town needs to be puppetd, and only need to tie a puppet knot at the door...... When I woke up the next day, the surgery was complete. ”

"Oh!? Let's tie a puppet knot, shall we? ”
