Chapter 303: The Village
[Hell Road].
"Loading Cave Data ......"
"The current location is the outer area of the Demon Cave - [Aquatic Village], the effective exploration rate is 0%, and the event [1] has been triggered."
It's somewhat similar to loading into a different network.
A huge spatial map of the Demon Cave was loaded into Lu Ran's mobile phone, but most of it belonged to the unexplored black area...... At present, Lu Ran and the two are located in a small area in the lower right corner.
Keep clicking.
[Triggered Event: Woman Playing the Lute]
Requirements: Go deep into the aquatic village to find their children.
Reward:
(1). You must get the information provided by the woman to increase the degree of exploration.
(2). There is a small probability of getting the clues of the "Hundred Ghost Diagram".
Compared to the increase in the amount of information that must be obtained and the degree of exploration...... Lu Ran was more concerned about what the so-called "Hundred Ghost Diagram" was, and his intuition told Lu Ran that this prop might have something to do with the entire Demon Cave.
"Let's go...... Take a look inside the village. β
Passing through the woods and stone bridges, it is the interior of the aquatic village.
Muddy roads and thatched buildings show that the existence is in an extremely backward state.
However, on the dirt roads in the village, there is still no one to be seen! It's too quiet and like a dead village.
Lu Ran took the worm sister, pushed open the wooden door of a thatched house at the head of the village, and asked softly, "Is there anyone?" β
No sound came back.
The chain was dragged to the ground, and Lu Ran was ready for battle.
Step into the room.
All I saw was dilapidated wooden chairs and wooden tables.
Homemade hunting stones hung on the damp walls, and unprocessed raw meat was placed on wooden tables, rotting and stinking.
After searching the thatched hut for a whole time, they couldn't find a 'living person'.
The only thing that Lu Ran cared about was a white mask hanging on the wall of the inner room...... It is almost the same as the mask worn by the Pipa girl at the previous grave.
When Lu Ran tried to reach out and touch it, this white mask actually sank into the stone wall on its own, which was very strange.
I've tried several things, but I can't get the mask to come down before it reaches the wall.
"Forget it, let's go to the rest of the village first."
"Hmm."
Just as the two of them stepped out of the thatched hut...... Tick tick! There was a dripping sound in the inner room.
It was a white mask hanging on the wall, constantly flowing outward...... Immediately after, a large number of black hair and human heads disappeared from the wall, wearing masks and peeking through the window to see the "outsiders".
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the following exploration process.
Lu Ran found that the village was completely empty...... However, every household has a characteristic that at least one white mask will be hung on the wall of the home.
As soon as a foreign object approaches, the mask will immediately sink into the wall, making it impossible to touch.
Lu Ran searched every villager's home, but he couldn't find the child in the mouth of the pipa girl...... In the center of the village, there is a two-storey stone building, which is inaccessible because the gate is completely closed.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Lu Ran did not force the door for the time being.
Lu Ran estimated that this building should be the village chief's house in [Aquatic Village].
In addition, when Lu Ran walked to the end of the village, he also found that the foothill area where the end of the village meets the mountain is covered with a layer of strange fog.
When you stand at the end of the village and look directly at this fog, you can feel a strong sense of danger...... There seems to be some demon lurking in this layer of mist, and anyone who comes near the mountain will be attacked.
When the village is complete, the exploration rate of the Hell system is still 0%.
Lu Ran briefly analyzed: "It seems that you must complete the event or kill the monsters hidden here in order to increase the degree of exploration."
At present, the [Aquatic Village] has been almost all visited, but only the stone house in the center has not been visited.
The river at the head of the village and the mountain at the end of the village are both clearly dangerous.
Senior Sister Bai Yu, where should we start first? β
"I ...... I think we have to take it one step at a time.
Before we can understand the situation inside the village, it may be dangerous to recklessly break into the fog and get close to the mountains, so let's go to the central stone house and take a look, maybe there will be an unexpected discovery. β
"Hmm."
"Junior brother, be a little careful...... From the moment I stepped into this village, the worms inside me kept sending me red flags! It's just strange why we haven't been attacked. β
"Understood."
Lu Ran was also very cautious, otherwise he would have started wreaking havoc a long time ago.
"The Headmaster said that the demons and monsters in the cave can't be treated with conventional cognition...... Our attacks may not work for the most part, and extraordinary measures must be used.'"
The so-called 'extraordinary means; It's right on the left and right arm...... If the chain doesn't work, try it again.
Just as the two of them walked back to the center of the village, a strange feeling greeted them.
Every time you walk through a house, you will feel that something is secretly spying on the two of them...... staring at the two of them was uncomfortable, and even Bai Yu began to secrete body fluids.
When I look back, I can't see anything.
"It's a bit similar to what happened to me at Taurus University...... Love voyeurism? β
Lu Ran gently flicked the 'eyeball bracelet' on his left wrist, and then naturally put his hands behind his back.
γVision Sharingγ
On the surface, Lu Ran, who was staring at Lu Ran, who was walking slowly in front of him, actually observed the situation behind him through the eyeballs of his wrist.
The 'voyeur' was soon caught.
Under the shared vision, he found that white masks slowly overflowed from the surface of the wooden doors of each thatched house, and the black hole hole looked at the two of them.
As soon as Lu Ran turned around, the mask would quickly sink into the wall.
"Sure enough, it's the mask problem...... But why do you always like to peep at us behind you and not show up? β
Bai Yu added: "It may be that the time has not yet come, once we touch a certain 'key point', these masks may turn into villagers and attack us." β
"Hmm."
The two of them came to the building in the center of the village again.
It had been determined that there was no entrance to the stone house...... No more wasting time this time!
Bang bang!
The iron chain drilled out of the skin of his left arm and wrapped around his arm, and Lu Ran was ready to break the door with brute force.
"Wait! Senior Brother Lu Ran, look around. β
When Lu Ran raised his hand, he was immediately stopped by Bai Yu.
The white masks pasted on the doors of the villagers' houses were no longer hidden, and all of them took the initiative to emerge, staring at the two people who were about to break the door.
"It seems that this stone house is very important to these villagers...... Senior Sister Bai Yu, do you know any sealing spells? β
"Understand."
"Later, as soon as we step into this stone house building, you will use the sealing spell to block the stone door."
"Okay."
With that, Lu Ran landed a heavy punch on the stone door.
To be reasonable, according to the current strength of Lu Ran, even a metal security door can be smashed open with one punch...... And the stone gate in front of him only showed a few cracks.
For a while, the white masks that were originally pasted on the doors of each house carried the entities of the villagers appeared.
The villagers, whose bodies were deformed and twisted, and who were constantly spewing out clear water, quickly attacked from all directions.
