After the black hair sank back to the surface of the lake, the sense of danger disappeared.

Even with the "Eyeball Bracelet", Lu Ran still didn't look at the surface of the river...... And the longer you stare at the river, the more creepy it gets.

"There must be something hidden in this river, which is the key to exploring the [Aquatic Village], but if nothing is not clear, it is dangerous to go down the river recklessly...... Don't worry, let's explore the situation on the land first."

At this moment, a delicate voice came.

Lu ...... Lu Ran, can you let go of other people's ......?"

The danger was sudden, and Lu Ran was just in a hurry to take the two out of danger.

Because Bai Yu's whole body is soft, the water content is much more than that of ordinary humans, although the appearance is slightly fat, but its weight is less than seventy pounds.

The triple characteristics of softness, lightness and chubby.

As a result, Lu Ran failed to pay attention to the position of his palm when he 'hugged'.

When I turned my head, I saw that my palm happened to land on the surface of the water balloon with a numerical strength of [E], or even higher.

The situation was critical, because Lu Ran hugged him harder, causing the palm of his hand to completely flatten the water balloon, which made Bai Yu a little breathless.

"Senpai...... Sorry ......"

At the same time that Lu Ran withdrew his hand, Bai Yu's two water balls that had been sunken in due to vigorous squeezing suddenly popped out and shook in front of his chest.

Lu Ran was a little dizzy, and quickly turned his head.

"It's okay...... Thank you! Just now, it's all up to you to move quickly, junior brother, otherwise, we will be in danger. ”

Lu Ran pretended to be calm and said: "There seems to be some danger hidden at the bottom of this river, let's not rush down and explore it now...... Sister, what should I do next? Do you want to explore it directly, or do you? ”

"Demon caves are often built in partitions.

An area must be fully explored and decrypted in order to travel closer to the Heartland.

The Hell system will also assist us in exploring the Caves.

Let's walk around the edge of the [Aquatic Village] to determine the size of its range, so as not to accidentally leave this area. ”

As soon as he heard it, he knew that Bai Yu should have participated in the exploration of the Demon Cave in the past and was very experienced.

Lu Ran asked curiously, "If you don't explore completely, what will happen if you leave [Aquatic Village]?" ”

"If we don't follow the rules, the dangerous creatures in the entire demon cave will lock on to us, and even lead to the terrifying existence left behind by the ancient hell...... It's basically a dead end. ”

"Interesting."

This setting is very much in line with Lu Ran's game experience, which limits the exploration of the scene, and only allows him to go to the next scene after meeting the requirements.

In fact, it's better to have a clearer purpose than to wander around like a headless fly in an open world.

With Bai Yu's experience, the two explored from the edge.

With the "Hell Trench Coat" covering the breath, walk along the boundary of the [Aquatic Village] in a full circle.

The edge of the area was quickly identified, a secular village surrounded by mountains, which were the border! Once close to the mountain, Lu Ran will also receive a system warning.

In the process of secretly exploring along the boundary of the mountain, the so-called [Aquatic Village] also slowly appeared in front of the two of them.

Built on a hill, the village rests on one of the largest mountains in the area.

The head of the village is next to an open and silent river, and an elaborate stone bridge connects the village to the wooded area on the other side.

In addition, in the process of exploring along the edge, no 'living creatures' were found for the time being, the trees were unusually silent, and the water village seen across the river was closed and no movement could be heard.

"Let's go...... Senior Brother Lu Ran, let's go to the inside of the village and take a look. ”

"Wouldn't it be too dangerous to go in directly from the front? Didn't the principal say that we belong to the "outsiders", and that the demons and monsters in the cave are all on the opposite side of us? ”

"Demons and monsters...... There may also be creatures born out of the devil's cave and they are in a neutral state! If we can build a good relationship with them, we can accelerate our exploration. ”

"Senior sister, it's really amazing!"

"Hey...... It's just that we know a little more, so let's go to the village and have a look. ”

Due to the unknown danger in the river, the two must enter the village through the main entrance through the stone bridge...... Therefore, it is necessary to walk through about a kilometer of wooded area to reach the bridgehead.

It is necessary to explain here that this special forest is separated from the aquatic village by a river.

Almost every time a tree is separated by a tree, a kind of clump for lighting hangs from the branches...... It glows with a warm yellowish glow.

If you look closely, the mass resembles a kind of egg, which falls on a tree branch through a thin thread, which is very strange.

But because of the illumination of this clump, the entire forest area is considered bright.

The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is the silence, there will always be some sounds of animal activity in the wooded areas of nature...... However, this forest was too silent, only the footsteps of Lu Ran and the others were heard.

Lu Ran grabbed Bai Yu's little chubby hand throughout the whole process, so as not to be separated due to special circumstances.

After walking a distance of about 100 meters...... There was a lute sound full of sorrow in the silent woods, which made Lu Ran's heart tremble.

Find the source of the sound, and the light in the woods.

Immediately, a woman in a pale kimono and a pale mask was spotted playing the biwa in front of a grave in the woods.

Bai Yu grabbed Lu Ran's hand suddenly, as if he was a little scared.

"There is no danger...... It's worth going up and taking a look. Senior sister, what do you say? ”

According to Lu Ran's game experience, if you leave for the first time in this situation, you may not meet again next time.

Besides, the woman who played the lute did not emit a dangerous aura, and she might be able to get important information that would help you explore the [Aquatic Village] when she stepped forward to ask.

"Well, let's take a look."

Although Bai Yu is a demon, he is also affected by the uncanny valley effect......

Just as the two approached, the pipa suddenly stopped.

A grumpy voice came from under the white mask:

"My son...... Shiro, if you could bring him to me...... I'm going to give you something very useful. ”

While the woman speaks, there will be a constant overflow of clear water from the inside of the mask, ticking and ticking! Dripping to the ground along the edge of the mask...... It's as if her body is full of water that leaks out when she speaks.

"Where can I find him?"

"The village...... No, maybe in the mountains. ”

At this point, the masked woman's body gradually turned into green smoke and disappeared.

Click! Only a white mask fell to the ground.

When Lu Ran leaned over to pick up the mask, he stared at the grave in front of him where there was only one wooden pole, and there was a good chance that the bones of this pipa girl were buried inside.

Lu Ran was sure that he had triggered an event, and hurriedly opened his mobile phone to check the details.
