Chapter 7: The Candle of Terror
In other words, the strange and desolate beasts in the mission are in this ancient temple.
Moreover, in addition to this quiet courtyard in the ancient temple, the chief engineer has three rooms, which is too coincidental with the 0/3 number of kills in his mission 2.
And the reason why he wants to take the initiative to explore, instead of waiting for the goal of the main quest second to come to the door, is because Li Mingyu guesses that since there is a 48-hour survival mission, there must not be too much "no danger" time for players.
It's like he can't sleep on the sheep intestine path in the stone forest and complete the main quest, the same reason.
Even if he stays in the stone forest for a longer time, he will be entangled by more things, and it is difficult to say whether he will have the strength to enter the ancient temple at the same time.
Therefore, it is better for players to take the initiative in the first place, rather than waiting. For players who ignore the main quest 1 and prefer "comfort" and do not take the initiative to take action, the quest should have a set of potential sanctions:
That is, the longer you are "comfortable", the more likely you are to die.
The invalid time will continue to overdraw the difficulty of the subsequent mission, and if the overdraft reaches a certain critical point, the player will face a nirvana ending.
Just like in the Stone Forest, the more time wasted, the less likely the player is to enter the ruined temple.
And if he doesn't take action now, what he will face in the future will probably be even more dangerous.
Therefore, the guiding direction of the current mission should be to let the player actively find the target of task 2 and complete the kill.
There is a possibility that his current situation is no different from when he was in Stone Forest.
To sum it up.
"Try to minimize your comfort time, take the initiative to face danger, don't wait for them to come and use force on you, then you won't even have room to resist!"
It sounds complicated, but these ideas are in Li Mingyu's mind from the time they are generated to the time they are concluded, and it only takes one minute, no matter whether the "task guidance direction" of his reasoning is correct or not, he will always take action.
Waiting where you are is definitely the next step.
There is no doubt about it!
.....
"Squeak~~"
The wooden bolt of the main hall gate was aged and made a screeching sound when pushed.
Under the dim light, Li Mingyu could roughly see the furnishings in the hall.
The four brown-red pillars are the most conspicuous, they are as thick as one person and support the entire Niangniang Temple. The red paint on the pillars peeled off, revealing large patches of gray decay.
In front of the main hall, there is a thick stone pedestal, on which a lady is placed, wearing colorful costumes, curved thin eyebrows, a broad and round face, huge earlobes, and a smile on her expression, which looks kind and kind.
Between the hands of the statue of the mother, there is also a doll. It seems that it should be a temple for children.
On the left and right are two boys standing hand in hand.
In front of the statue of the mother, there is a confession, covered with thick dust, several dumped copper basins, and a red candle the thickness of a baby's arm.
The red candle flickered with the firelight, which was the source of the light that Li Mingyu saw outside.
The walls on both sides have no bright spots, mostly mottled after the wall skin has fallen off, and thick cobwebs.
Li Mingyu paced lightly, came to the front of the statue of Niangniang, and carefully observed the copper basin and candles on the confession, the others were ordinary items, but Li Mingyu fixed his gaze on the burning red candle, and the silver-blue panel appeared in the field of vision.
[Name: Cursed Red Candle - Brave]
[Type: Item, Item]
[Attributes: -1% per second of burning yang energy, causing pregnancy.] 】
[Introduction: This was originally a candle that could provoke people's lust, and under its illumination, everyone would not be able to control themselves, but because of the curse, its effect seems to have become more distorted and more direct. 】
[Note: It will change the sex of the male creature, and it will make you have a big belly.] And it never goes out! 】
Li Mingyu almost blurted out a sentence.
Instinctively, he staggered back two steps, keeping his distance from the red candle.
"What kind of weird prop is this? A candle that can make you pregnant? And forcibly change the gender of people? ”
It's hard to understand that there is such a thing in the world.
He didn't say a word, and turned his head to leave this Niangniang Palace.
I also explored a fart, -1% yang energy per second, and ate a course of overlord spear to turn enoki mushrooms.
If I can't say it, I can give you an opening, and I have a big belly...
No, no, no, Li Mingyu would rather die.
If he knew there was such a negative buff in there, he wouldn't say anything and wouldn't come in.
He turned around and hurried away, but just as Li Mingyu was about to step out of the threshold of the main hall, suddenly, he felt that his ankle was being grabbed.
This sudden change made his hair stand on end.
Before he had time to look down, he felt a huge force coming from his feet, pulling him towards the temple.
Li Mingyu stood unsteadily, his center of gravity leaned forward sharply, and a dog ate and fell on the threshold, almost knocking off his two front teeth.
Shaking his dazed head, Li Mingyu reacted quickly, grabbed the threshold, and didn't let himself be held into the hall.
He knew that it should be Mission 2 that had found him, but if it was possible, he wanted to talk to them at another time.
"That red candle is a big killer for stepping on horses."
Turning his head to look behind, Li Mingyu's eyes were about to split, and he saw a pale and slender palm grabbing his ankle, constantly pulling, and the cold touch made people's scalp tingle.
"That kind of again."
The slender palm stretched out directly from the ground, extremely weird, not that this floor has become a fine, Li Mingyu guessed that there must be a person hidden underground, oh no, it is definitely not a person.
Li Mingyu struggled frantically, damn it, he was still within the light range of the red candle, and he felt like he was dying.
He kicked his feet frantically, but it didn't work, and the slender palm contained a power completely different from the appearance, twisting Li Mingyu's thigh.
He exerted all his strength, and even bruised tendons erupted in his neck, but he still couldn't pull the other party.
He tried to step on it with his feet, but something strange happened, when Li Mingyu's feet touched the slender palm, it actually penetrated through it, as if the palm had no substance.
But I was able to catch him.
"Ghosts? Spirits? ”
Li Mingyu suddenly exploded.
He struggled even harder, and after some manipulation, the 42-yard Nike on his feet was about to kick off, but the slender palm did not mean to stop, and the huge pulling force made the muscles on his entire leg feel tearing pain.
Suddenly, Li Mingyu seemed to think of something.
He took out the incense burner he had picked up in the yard.
Put the censer on your other foot and knock it down against the slender palm.
"Peng!"
A very striking collision sound sounded, which was like a heavenly sound in Li Mingyu's ears.
[Name: Dilapidated incense burner-ordinary]
[Type: Item Item]
[Attribute: +1% return qi when meditating.] 】
[Introduction: Contains a weak wish, the incense burner used to be used for sacrifices in the temple.] 】
[Note: Spirits can be touched.] 】
"Sure enough, that thing underground belongs to the category of spirits."
Time was pressing, Li Mingyu immediately frantically raised his feet, straightened his hips, and landed his feet, and smashed into the slender palm that grabbed his ankle one by one, and struggled, the thing seemed to be smashed and painful, and it shrank into the ground like a snake.
Li Mingyu, who had recovered his mobility, used both hands and feet, and climbed out of the gate of the Niangniang Hall in embarrassment.
"Whoa..."
He gasped, he had never been so nervous, not when he killed Wang Gang, not when the stone forest was entangled in so many things.
If you want his life to do it, you can't want his life root.
Looking up at the disc-like moon in the sky, Li Mingyu folded his hands and prayed for a second, and then walked towards the side room on the left.
He didn't dare to enter the Niangniang Hall for the time being, so he could only change places to explore first.
Taba Taba stepped on the floor of the yard, wet.
It turned out that I don't know when it was raining lightly that day.
The rain dripping on Li Mingyu's body was icy, no smell, and it was no different from the rain in the real world.
"I didn't expect it to rain in this wasteland, is there also four seasons?"
Coming to the door of the room on the left, the door of this room is a little simple, a sliding folding lattice door, unlike the double door of the Niangniang Palace.
Li Mingyu lightly buttoned the door with his hands stained with rain.
A bed, a dusty dresser, a rope hanging from a half-collapsed beam, and beyond that, cobwebs that dotted every corner of the room.
The setup is very simple.
Li Mingyu held the incense burner in his hand and mustered up the courage to walk in.
He habitually checked the items in the room, hoping to find something with attributes, but don't be like the red candle, like the incense burner in his hand, it is very useful.
The bed and dresser were unremarkable, only the rope on the beam of the room, and the attribute panel appeared when Li Mingyu's vision was fixed on it.
.....
[Name: Bloodstained Hanging Rope - Common]
[Type: Item, Item, Forging Material]
[Attributes: Items containing strong resentment, after forging into equipment, increase the spirit breaking attribute, damage to the spirit body +3%, come with skills, forbidden: trap the target, can make the target strength -40%, and cannot actively attack you. Lasts 1 minute, has a cooldown of 5 hours, and only works on spirits. 】
[Introduction: It represents the helplessness and end of a life, and its origin is just like its name, it is a rope used to hang. 】
[Note: Put it around your neck and tie it in a bow to experience the feeling of death for free.] 】
"Good guys, it's fascinating to experience the feeling of death for free."
Li Mingyu tugged at the end of the hanging rope and wanted to take it off.
This thing can be broken into equipment, and it also has a skill of its own, which can be said to be the most valuable item I have seen so far.
The moment his hand touched the rope, Li Mingyu felt a cold feeling in his body for no reason, and then returned to normal, he didn't think much about it, this thing was not very auspicious, and it was normal to have a little yin qi.
But to his surprise, when he pulled hard, the upper hanging rope did not move, as if it was growing on the beams of the house.
"Well, there's no knot."
I tried again, but it didn't work.
The rope was hung on the beam, without any fixed knots, but it was strange that Li Mingyu just couldn't pull it.
