Chapter 8: Evoke Records
Yang Zhi stayed in the dark forest, wearing an infrared thermal imaging night vision device, peeking at everything outside the wooden house in the forest from a distance.
The silhouette of a large, ferocious beast about the size of a tiger appeared in the thermal imaging range of the night vision device, and the huge beast silently circled around the wooden house, as if it was observing something, in the wooden house, as if something attracted it and kept it from leaving.
Yang Zhi felt that his palms were a little sweaty, and he silently recited 'calm down' a few times in his heart, and after a few seconds, he regained his composure.
Yang Zhi gently removed the movable lens barrel on the right side of the night vision device he wore from his eyes, so that his right eye was directly observing the situation in front of him, and his left eye was still the field of vision of the infrared night vision device.
He saw that the lights of the hut were turned on at some point, and from the only window of the hut, the beating light of the kerosene lamp shone out.
Yang Zhi's heart moved, he remembered very well that when he left the wooden house, he had turned off the kerosene lamp in the wooden house.
Now that the hut was showing light, someone must have gone in while he was leaving.
It's just that it's not clear whether the people in the wooden house have just entered the trial ground like Yang Zhi, or whether the people who were in the trial ground before have returned to the wooden house.
Yang Zhi went through the newly discovered situation in his mind, and judged that it was obviously more likely that someone who had just entered the trial ground appeared in the wooden house.
Because, Yang Zhi knew from Michelle Tang that the essence of the trial was the battlefield of killing, and the relationship between that person and person should be extremely tense, which was not clear to himself who entered the forum through a special invitation, but those who entered the forum through formal channels should know.
Michelle Tang and the bearded man should all know that there is a wooden house in the woods here, but they just wandered around and did not enter the wooden house, which means that they may know that there is something wrong with the wooden house.
First, this place is too conspicuous and easy to become a clear target in the eyes of others, and secondly, there may be adventurers who have newly entered the proving ground in the wooden house, and the strength of the new adventurers is difficult to say, and there may be direct conflicts in the wooden house, and the outcome is unpredictable.
So Michelle Tang and the bearded group didn't squat here, but wandered around.
In addition, there may be a hidden danger here in the cabin, which is the beast that appears in the field of view of the thermal night vision goggles.
There was a crescent-shaped moon in the sky at this time, although the moonlight was not very clear, but he could also see the open space around the wooden house, Yang Zhi did not see the beast from his right eye, which did not have night vision devices.
And in the field of vision with infrared night vision in his left eye, the beast roamed near the wooden house.
Yang Zhi judged that this beast was the 'Extravisual Illusion Beast'.
I just don't know, why does that extravagant phantom beast have a soft spot for this wooden house in the woods, is it the breath of man that attracts it, or something else?
Yang Zhi didn't make a hasty judgment, he didn't have enough information, Yang Zhi calmed himself down, he hid in the dark, quietly observing the wooden house and the beasts that were quietly swimming outside the wooden house.
Not long after, about three or four minutes later, the lights in the cabin flickered and then went out.
Yang Zhi held his breath even more, he had a premonition that something was going to happen.
The door of the wooden house opened, and three teenager-like figures stepped out.
At the front was a young man of his twenties, holding a sword or weapon, and behind him was a teenager in camouflage and a young man holding a flashlight.
The three of them walked out of the hut door, closed the door, and walked out.
At this time, the bonfire that Yang Zhi saw when he came out of the wooden house was only the last ember, with a faint glow, and this seemed to attract the attention of the three people, and they walked in the direction of the bonfire.
In the field of vision of Yang Zhi's infrared thermal imaging night vision goggles, I saw that the ferocious extravisual phantom beast, with its huge body, was unexpectedly light and agile with its steps, and silently embellished the three people.
The young man in the lead, armed with a sword-like weapon, came to the campfire, and suddenly, he let out a scream, apparently finding the corpse next to the campfire.
His two companions quickly walked towards the campfire, and at this moment, the Phantom Beast, which had been embellished with three young people, suddenly jumped and threw the last young man with a strong flashlight to the ground!
"Ahh
The boy let out a scream, and the beast savagely tore at the boy's neck, and suddenly the carotid arteries were torn, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
The two companions of the young man who were pounced on suddenly screamed in horror and anger, and the young man with a sword-like weapon turned around and hit his fallen companion with the weapon in his hand, but he took a moment's time.
The extravisual phantom beast moved extremely quickly, and tore away the young man with the strong flashlight, it rushed forward and hit the young man holding the sword weapon, the young man was knocked to the ground, and the extravisual phantom beast still concocted the same method, tearing his neck, and in less than a moment, the young man also lost his life.
The remaining boy in camouflage was already shrouded in fear, and he turned around screaming, trying to escape back to the cabin, using it to block the Phantom Beast.
After biting the young man with a sword weapon to death, the Phantom Beast chased after the young man in camouflage uniform, knocking him down from behind and biting his neck.
The camouflage-clad boy struggled a few times, followed in the footsteps of his two companions, and was bitten by the phantom beast and died.
After killing its prey, the Extravisual Phantom Beast did not eat the corpse, it walked away from the corpse, walked around the cabin for two or three more laps, and then re-entered the dark forest from the opposite direction to Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi, who observed all this in the dense forest, sweated slightly in his palms.
The beast is the target of this mission, the Outer Illusion Beast.
With a huge body, agile movements, and a certain IQ that seems to have it, this Exophantom Beast is not so easy to deal with.
Yang Zhi waited for a minute, and saw that the Exophantom Beast had no sign of returning to the wooden house for the time being.
"The beast has been roaming around the hut, is there something in the hut that attracts it?"
Yang Zhi guessed.
After thinking about it, Yang Zhi decided to go to the wooden house first to see if there was any element that he had missed.
Yang Zhi put back on the right eye viewing goggle of the thermal imaging infrared night vision device, held a pistol, and advanced towards the wooden house.
Yang Zhi came to the platform in the forest, he went to the bonfire first, and looked at the three people who had just died.
All three of them were attacked by the Extravisual Phantom Beast and died, and Yang Zhi checked the young man with a sword-like weapon, the young man in camouflage uniform, and the young man with a strong flashlight.
Yang Zhi walked in and saw that the weapon held by the young man turned out to be a three-edged military thorn with a blade, and he didn't know where he got it, and this kind of thing was not very common in reality.
In addition, on the young man in camouflage uniform with a backpack, Yang Zhi picked up a dagger, and the young man holding a strong flashlight had no weapons and equipment.
Beside the three of them, a small rectangular box appeared, just like the small box that flashed white after the others died.
Yang Zhi opened three small boxes and gained a total of 417 points.
Other than that, there was nothing of value on the trio.
After Yang Zhi picked up these things, he took the night vision device and returned to the wooden house.
He entered the hut, locked the door of the hut, then turned on the kerosene lamp, and carefully examined every inch of the hut for anything he had missed.
The wooden house is only more than forty square meters in total, and after Yang Zhi carefully inspected, under the wooden tables and chairs in the wooden house, under the animal skin, Yang Zhi found a movable wooden board, and the wooden board was inlaid with an iron pull ring.
Yang Zhi pulled up the pull tab, and the plank was pulled up, revealing a basement.
"Looks like that's the problem." Yang Zhi thought in his heart.
The basement is more than three meters deep, and there is a wooden ladder that is not tall standing underneath, Yang Zhi irradiated it with a strong flashlight he picked up, and found that it was a space of about twenty square meters, which seemed to be full of debris, and there was no danger.
Yang Zhi thought for a moment, and felt that there was no risk in going down, so he put his mountaineering bag in the wooden house, and climbed down the ladder in the basement.
A few seconds later, Yang Zhi stepped on the ground of the basement, and he used a strong flashlight to illuminate the basement.
There is nothing of value in the basement, most of them are some trivial daily necessities, the only thing that particularly attracts Yang Zhi's attention is that there is an old-fashioned record player in the basement, and on the record player, there is a black vinyl record on it.
Yang Zhi was attracted by this thing, he walked over and picked up the vinyl record.
Just when Yang Zhi picked up the vinyl record, suddenly a small whirlwind rolled up in the basement, blowing up a cloud of dust, and on the floor, a line of golden words was reflected.
"Discover the side quest item: Ghost Vinyl / Evoke Records."
Immediately, another whirlwind blew for no apparent reason, and the golden fonts on the ground were blown away like gold dust.
