Lu Ran learned about the power relationship of [Aquatic Village].

He took the mask left by the Pipa Girl in his hand and walked out of the stone house.

The ghost-like masked villagers wandered around the village, and when they saw the mask in Lu Ran's hand, the 'hostility' immediately disappeared...... One by one, they immediately went back to their homes and turned into white masks and hung them on the wall.

Come to the end of the village.

Staring at the thick fog in front of him, a sense of danger kept coming.

"The 'demon' in the white mist is guarding here, so that this white mask cannot enter the back mountain ......"

Lu Ran increased the visual range to ten meters through the eyeball on his wrist, and he could barely see some fragments of the mask scattered in this area.

This shows that White Mask once controlled some villagers who tried to break in, but all of them were killed.

"Like White Mask, we are considered by the Guardians to be "outsiders", and we will be attacked if we get close to the back mountain...... Senior Sister Bai Yu, it's better to assist me as much as possible. ”

"Hmm."

In fact, Lu Ran still has a bit of luck, first see what is guarding the back mountain, if it can be passed through negotiations, it is best not to fight head-on.

After all, the method chosen by Lu Ran must finally face the existence of the hundred ghosts corresponding to the [White Mask].

Therefore, before entering this misty area of the back mountain, the mask of the Pipa Girl was temporarily buried at the end of the village.

Once you've got the things in the back mountain, you can retrieve the mask.

After burying the mask and making a mark, Lu Ran took the worm sister and slowly went deep into the fog.

"Lu Ran, do you need to fuse in advance?" Zhu Gong on his waist was also a little nervous and asked.

"Merging with you, the burden of the flesh is too high...... You can't just start the game and waste your energy. It's okay, if you really can't hold on, let's merge again. ”

"You don't want to die."

"Hmm."

As soon as Lu Ran finished communicating with Zhu Yan, Bai Yu on the side immediately sensed it.

"Left!!"

Lu Ran immediately turned to the side and blocked his left arm, which was wrapped in iron chains, in the air.

Clang!

I saw a long knife in the mist slash through it, smashing into the iron chain and bursting into sparks...... Due to the perfect block, the blade is bounced away.

"Knives!? Mankind? ”

Lu Ran could see very clearly that what was slashed on his arm through the mist was a sword...... Through the white mist, a human-like creature could be faintly seen.

"The Headmaster said that the Demon Cave was originally a relic of the destruction of some kind of advanced civilization in the Ancient Hell.

In the long history of 100,000 or millions of years, the shattered consciousness of these advanced civilizations has 'interacted' with the environment, and a new life form has been born in the demon cave.

But it is also possible that this lifeform maintained its form in ancient times...... Is it possible that it is also human?

Maybe we can communicate?'

Thinking of this, Lu Ran took out his mobile phone.

Because of the previous use of mobile phones to recognize the words on the stone wall, the Hell System has analyzed the language of [Aquatic Village] and is able to convert what Lu Ran said into the local language on its own.

"Hello senior, we have no malice here! I just want to discuss with my seniors how to destroy the evil [White Mask]. ”

As soon as these words came out, the situation did not ease.

The sense of danger remains.

Clang!

With Bai Yu giving a warning in advance, Lu Ran once again 'perfectly blocked' and flicked the blade into the mist.

"After all, we are "outsiders", and it is difficult to convince each other by just talking about it.

And, perhaps long before us, White Mask controlled the villagers to use similar 'verbal deception' to try to blend in with the back mountains......

How can we 'negotiate' to convince him? If you can't do it, you can only force it. ”

At this moment, Bai Yu on the side smiled:

"Senior Brother Lu Ran, my worm has found the Eye of the Mist Array, do you want to do it?"

"Wait a minute...... Wait for his next attack. ”

After continuing to walk in the fog for about a minute, the blade cut from behind Lu Ran again.

This time, Lu Ran no longer blocked, and instantly put on the "Hell Pig's Head...... In the fusion state, grab the blade with your left hand!

"Broken!"

Bai Yu's worms exploded near the eye of the array, and for a while, the fog that spread among the foothills dissipated.

In front of Lu Ran, who was wearing a white suit, he was grabbing a sword with brute force.

As for the owner of this sword, he was a down-and-out samurai with a disheveled head...... Even the armor was gone, and on the body that was emaciated by hunger, eight solid abdominal muscles were clearly visible.

Take the white blade with one hand, and suppress it with complete power!

Lu Ran originally planned to use this suppressive advantage to try to communicate head-on with this samurai guarding the mountain gate...... As a result, the unthinkable happened.

【Flowing Water Knife Method】

The Tai Dao, which was originally held in Lu Ran's hand, actually became as erratic as clear water.

Sou!

At the same time as the blade was withdrawn, Lu Ran's palm was completely shaved off, leaving only the iron chain hanging on his wrist.

"Knife skills in the ancient hell? Damn, it's almost ...... Zhu Gong, dissolve the fusion. ”

The down-and-out warrior was also shocked by the terrifying power displayed by Lu Ran, and temporarily distanced himself, staring at Lu Ran's eyes full of murderous intent.

"Hello, we really don't mean anything...... Otherwise, the moment I grabbed your blade just now, I would have made this move without giving you any chance to fight back. ”

Lu Ran waved out his right palm, only to see that the trees five meters away immediately withered and withered after receiving this palm...... This scene was also seen by the down-and-out samurai.

However, the situation remained the same, and the samurai still held the sword tightly, and could show his superb sword skills at any time.

"Kill him...... With the two of us working together, it shouldn't be a problem! ”

The originally cute little worm girl showed a terrifying killing intent.

"One last chance, I'm going to make a big move...... If it still doesn't work, let's do it! ”

Lu Ran groped for the "stomach pouch" with his right hand, preparing for the final negotiations.

……… (5 minutes have passed)

Back in front of the mountain.

A huge bronze gate closes the back mountain...... And in front of the heavy bronze door, curling smoke rises.

The down-and-out warrior seemed to have encountered a dangerous scene that he had never seen before, sitting upright on the ground, his teeth clenched, sweating profusely, and his breath short.

The worm girl is like a great enemy, and she can't take her eyes off it, and there is constantly liquid flowing out of her pores.

As for Lu Ran, he took off his coat, and his two strong arms were revealed, engrossed in the situation in front of him...... The left arm is slightly releasing hellish heat, and the right arm is stirring something back and forth.

The three of them were sitting around the fire, waiting for the three turkeys on the wooden skewers to be fully cooked.

That's right...... Lu Ran's final means of negotiation was 'food'.

This down-and-out warrior hadn't eaten for several days, and what could he eat in a backward place like [Aquatic Village]?

This seven-day trip to the Demon Cave, Lu Ran had made sufficient preparations in advance...... I borrowed the huge storage space of the "stomach pouch" and almost filled a small convenience store with it.

Wait until the oil drips off the chicken skin and sprinkle with the special chili flakes!

The grilled chicken meal begins.

"Come, brother! You eat a chicken leg first. ”

It was difficult for the warrior to refuse such a delicacy, so he hugged the fragrant chicken leg and nibbled on it frantically.
