Chapter 11 The Canyon of the Dead

In a valley, a man in ragged clothes was panting for breath, and next to him was a fox, also lying on the ground. I saw that the man was covered with scars, and the fox's left ear was also missing. This is Zhuang Li and the red fox who escaped from the herd. Leaning on a boulder, Zhuang Li trembled and hugged the red fox over, looking at the red fox's slightly trembling left ear, Zhuang Li felt that his heart was dripping blood.

"I'll call you the left ear in the future", Zhuang Li smiled bitterly, his lips trembled, and he hugged the red fox deeply in his arms.

Some resisted and raised their paws, but in the end, the red fox still chose to give in. In fact, under the action of the system, as long as the blood is full, most of the injuries will heal without a trace, otherwise after being in this world for so long, Zhuang Li would have long lacked arms and legs. The scars on his body were deliberately left by the system, and he wanted to remind himself that good people are not so easy to be. Xu saw that Zhuang Li did not remove the scar, and the red fox also chose to do so, perhaps just as it chose to jump off the branch without hesitation, which can be regarded as a kind of companionship.

When I opened the map, I saw that it was not very far from the village, and it was probably about the same as the valley. However, Zhuang Li suddenly became less eager, perhaps because he was injured by the same kind of pit, and it took a lot of time to make up for it.

This valley is very strange, I have wandered for so long, and I have not encountered any monsters, except for a few crows croaking on the dead trees, the valley seems to be exceptionally quiet. There are very few trees and flowers, and it is difficult to encounter some strange ones that are still growing, which is intimidating. After walking back and forth a few times, Zhuang Li found a cave and got in.

The cave was a little damp, with pieces of cloth and firewood scattered on the ground, but it had already solidified with the dirt and turned into a part of the ground. Obviously, Zhuang Li was not the first wave of visitors. Compared with the joy of the existence of the same kind at the beginning, Zhuang Li was a little indifferent. I found some firewood and lit it, holding the red fox and quietly waiting for the night to fall. Since he confirmed that there were no animals around, he was relieved to roast the meat. Sprinkle some green mincs that he had found before entering the valley, a bit like chili peppers, and Zhuang Li picked some after escaping from the herd. Strange to say, those monsters seemed to have an inexplicable fear of this valley, and after entering the valley, they dispersed. However, after exploring for so long, there is really no danger here, and Zhuang Li didn't think too much about it.

With the addition of chili peppers, the taste of the beef is obviously more delicious, and before it is fully cooked, the red fox's mouth has begun to seep out of the mouth. Seeing Zhuang Li staring at him with a smile, the red fox wiped it with his paw embarrassedly. has been with Zhuang Li for so long, but this little fox has become more and more humane, and he is even shy. The red fox is more like a lady than someone.

"Yours, eat", Zhuang Li handed over a skewer of almost cooked beef.

The red fox took it over with its paws, it has begun to get used to eating with its paws, and its cute appearance is quite similar to the characters in the cartoons I watched before. "Puff, puff,,, ah", everyone who tries chili peppers for the first time has had such an experience, and it is clear that the red fox is no exception. I saw that it kept sneezing with its somewhat pointed mouth open, and screamed twice from time to time, as if complaining about what the hell this was.

Zhuang Li smiled forward and backwards, probably happy and sad, a few pieces fell into the trachea, blushing and coughing, now it was the turn of the little fox. The happy one rolled on the ground, and his kneaded fur was covered with dirt and grass clippings, and he shook his whole body, and in an instant the dust flew up. Zhuang Li waved his hand with some disgust, and continued to eat meat skewers, and his mood couldn't help but feel a lot better.

Rustle... Kazkaz... There was a strange noise. Zhuang Li put down the meat skewers and poked his head out of the mouth of the cave, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. This made Zhuang Li feel a little nostalgic for the time when he was in the forest, at least there were mushrooms that could glow. "Ahh Yes! The crows outside crowed, followed by the sound of wings fluttering. Zhuang Li took a few steps back and added a few sticks of firewood to the fire. The whole cave was brighter, the flames were swirling, and the shadows on the walls of the cave kept shaking. Although he didn't think it would be anything, the black hole still made Zhuang Li a little flustered.

"Whoa, whoa," the red fox showed its sharp claws, and its eyes were glowing yellow-green like a jewel.

There was a sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave, and there was a strange sound of bones rubbing, could it be that someone was coming? Zhuang Li lifted the watermelon knife and touched a few scars on his chest that he didn't know what monsters caused.

The sound was getting closer, closer and closer, crunching, crunching, and Zhuang Li's heartbeat was beating with it. Boom, a piece of white bone fell to the entrance of the hole, and Zhuang Li almost jumped up with the fright. What is it? Then a bare white skull stretched out, this skull was a little pointy, very large, I don't know what kind of animal it was, and the eyes were flashing with green flames. However, this is not the point, the point is, this bone can move?! Holding the red fox who was dancing with his teeth and claws, Zhuang Li leaned into the cave. The white skull stretched inward, then turned away as if it hadn't seen anything, and slowly walked away.

Listening to the sound gradually moving away, Zhuang Li walked over slowly, and seeing that he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, a huge bone claw stretched in, grabbed down, and suddenly the dust flew up. Zhuang Li, who relied on the wind shadow to dodge away, was afraid for a while. Looking at the cave wall with some cracks, Zhuang Li gritted his teeth, no, you can't go on like this, you have to get out, otherwise you will be buried alive. He dodged to the fire, threw all the firewood into it, and suddenly the fire was blazing, shining far through the hole. Only then did Zhuang Li see the whole picture of the monster, it turned out to be a huge skeleton, with a few parts still sticking to rotten flesh, and a white worm wriggling on it. This reminded Zhuang Li of the zombies on TV, is this the undead?

I saw a rich fire light shining on the monster's body, and the monster emitted a burst of rancid yellow smoke, Zhuang Li dodged out of the cave and slapped an identification technique at the monster. "Congratulations to the player for activating the hidden map Canyon of the Dead, since it is not the first player to activate, there is no reward", "Undead Sharp-billed Badger: Level 18, Health 1000, Attack 18, Intelligence 1". Fortunately, after reading the monster's information, Zhuang Li was sure in his heart, and rushed forward, and suddenly a bone slag flew around, and the monster's blood volume slowly declined. At the same time, Zhuang Li was recalling the scene of killing the undead creatures in the last world movie, looking at the monster head that flashed with green flames, and he was a little uncertain.

A dodge, Zhuang Li took advantage of the monster's front paws to slap himself and climbed down the monster's back. The monster seemed to feel something, frantically flailing, ding, Zhuang Li inserted the watermelon knife into the monster's bones, moving towards the monster's head little by little, and the red fox kept harassing and scratching the monster's leg with its claws, so that it could not be distracted to attack Zhuang Li.

With a hum, when Zhuang Li plunged the watermelon knife into the monster's green flame, the monster trembled and screamed, the bones on its body began to weather and scatter, and the blood value dropped rapidly.

"Congratulations to the player for killing the undead Sharp-beaked Badger and gaining 200 XP for the Broken Bone Dagger"

Picking up the familiar bone dagger on the ground, Zhuang Li couldn't speak for a long time, and smiled self-deprecatingly. Hehe, I haven't seen the equipment, I don't know that fighting monsters will be violent equipment, hehehe, it turns out that at the beginning, I have become someone else's prey......
