Crunch – crunch –

As Kaji walked through the inner tunnel of the garden, the cold light shining down from the top of his head and around him, and his heart became extremely cold.

Chasing down a seven-stage organizer is scary enough.

But here is the fact that there are unknown enemies in the garden, and unknown dangers from ancient times lurk.

These elements add up.

It's a situation that is completely unimaginable to the perceiver of the four stages.

What an outrageous choice did he make to get himself to such a place?

Bang Bang –

Kaji followed the scent and walked ahead.

Although the smell in the nose is extremely clear, it continues to lead them forward.

But the perceiver's sensitive sense of hearing, as well as the sense of touch coming from under his feet, always brought him an illusion.

It was as if the interior of the surrounding wooden walls, the depths of the wood that emitted a cold glow.

Something terrible with malicious intent was swimming through it, like the scales of a snake creaking against the ground.

"Whew-"

Kaji took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

He listened closely, and the vague sound faded from his ears, as if the experience had been an illusion.

“……”

Kaji turned his head to look behind him.

Diablo ...... This man whose real name is Lindsay.

At this moment, the expression on his face is much more dignified than at the beginning, and it is obvious that this sense of crisis is not untargeted.

Knock knock!

Kaji retreated in his heart, and he wanted to persuade Lindsay:

"Di ......"

Wow -

At this moment, a different response came from the ground beneath the perceiver's feet.

He jerked his head and looked ahead.

In the tunnel illuminated by the cold tree light, it seems that the years have been sealed here, and there is no change in the quiet air.

The gentle glow on the walls was now dazzling.

At the same time, through his sense of touch, Kaji was sure that the 'poop' movement was there, and it was approaching them!

This time he definitely heard it right!

"Diablo-sama!"

Kaji jumped back, hid behind Lindsay, pointed to the tunnel in front of him, and said:

"Ahead...... Something ahead, approaching us! ”

Lindsay frowned:

"Something approaching us?"

Lindsay held her breath, trying to hear something in the air?

However, even with the blessing of equipment, his perception ability is still not as good as that of a perceiver who specializes in it.

The tunnel in Lindsay's ears was still quiet!

"Tsk-"

He took a more direct step, lying directly on the ground, with his ears pressed against the ground.

Only then did I hear that something was indeed coming from a distance.

Tread - step - step -

The voice...... Like the sound of human footsteps? ”

Before Lindsay could come to a conclusion, the perceivers on the side nodded again and again, looking like they were afraid of other changes:

"That's right, it must be the footsteps of people!"

“……”

"Kaji, you get behind and hide."

Lindsay was a little speechless as he asked Kaji to take a few steps back, and the guy ran straight out of the meter until he stopped in a corner.

Lindsay stood in front and pulled out the Iron Horn Bow from her bag.

Touching this familiar bow, he inevitably felt a little nostalgic.

Ever since he injured his arm, the old guy hadn't been able to use it, and now he was finally able to use it again.

"It's been a long time since I've used it......"

Lindsay sighed with emotion and skillfully enchanted the bow and arrow with the [Silent Edge].

Look at the arrows in his bag again.

Ordinary Wooden Arrows, Armor-Piercing Arrows, Black Feather Arrows, Poison Thorn Arrows, Frost Poison Arrows......

Among the many options.

Lindsay took out a frost poison arrow that could affect the opponent without breaking armor, and immediately prepared to attack.

It didn't take long.

The sound that could be heard on the ground just now gradually echoed in the tunnel.

The sound of 'stomping' gradually became louder.

At the end of the straight tunnel of this route, a man in a gray and white single coat rushed out.

When he saw Lindsay's figure in the middle of the tunnel, his face suddenly brightened with joy.

Even ignoring the threat of the bow and arrow, he kept rushing straight at speed, and at the same time threw a glittering golden coin in his hand.

"Help!"

"Friend, help, there's something strange about this place!"

“……”

For a moment, the hostility in Lindsay's heart was suppressed.

It wasn't Mulenahun who came, it was a double snake coin, and even Lindsay knew him.

The big businessman of the Riverbeach Chamber of Commerce - Quit!

In addition to the organizer of the seventh stage, the other person who entered the garden was this merchant!

"It's Quit, the big merchant of the Riverbeach Chamber of Commerce!"

At this time, even Kaji, who was behind Lindsay, recognized the identity of the other party.

The Perceiver has no ill will towards the businessman, after all, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties.

Seeing a living person appear at this moment, coupled with the bewitchment of the double snake coin, he settled down in his heart, and even persuaded Lindsay:

"Lord Diablo, he is a merchant who is active in the world of the forest courtyard, not an enemy!"

“……”

Lindsey didn't say a word.

He was tempted to let go and shoot the arrow.

But the powerful allure brought by the Double Snake Coin really affected reality, and he was unable to attack.

Lindsey opens the Properties panel.

Sure enough, on his own status bar, a state of [interest temptation] emerged.

It lasts a full 15 minutes!

"Digitization—"

Lindsay, of course, doesn't want to be constrained by this, and tries to solve problems with skill.

With the effective effect of [data], Lindsay's physical concept and cognition have also changed. The allure of Twin Snake Coin has been greatly reduced, from 15 minutes to just 5 seconds!

“5…… 4……”

Taking advantage of this little effort, Quit also rushed in front of the two.

“3……”

The businessman was out of breath.

He casually took out a small amount of money and bought some physical strength to recover himself.

Then he crossed the figures of the two and continued to run wildly, and at the same time shouted to Lindsay and Kaji:

"You're the Awoken, aren't you? Find a way to help me stop the thing in the back! ”

“2……”

The last two seconds.

The effect of the Double Snake Coin is still there, and Lindsey is not good at doing it immediately.

He looked in the direction Quette had appeared.

With a sharp vision, I saw the plant rattan spreading towards me at the end of the corridor.

“1……”

There are more and more parts of rattan appearing.

This seems to be a climbing plant, but it shows a berserk vitality that is different from normal plants!

Now it's spilling down the hallway.

The green branches pointed directly at the three humans of Lindsay on the opposite side!

Without contact, Lindsay can also see that this thing is full of malice, and it is aimed at killing!

“0！”

In an instant, the control effect of the Double Snake Coin on Lindsay's body ended.

Naturally, he had no interest in helping Quette to fend off such an inexplicably dangerous creature.

So Lindsay turned around and left.

He grabbed Kaji beside him, rushed in the direction of the merchant's escape, and made another gesture on his lips:

"Wait for us, Mistress Quit!"

"This thing can't be solved by finding a way, what should we do together?"

Quite, who was running, looked back and immediately opened her eyes wide.

"Huh?"

"How is this possible?"

The merchant was in chaos, and his original plan was shattered by the scene in front of him.

He clearly felt that the allure effect of the Double Snake Coin had taken effect.

Why did this man not obey him, but chased after him?

Even if you can buy physical strength and a good physique with money, the speed of the merchant is still not comparable to Lindsay's agility of 49 points!

Quette saw that Lindsay was still carrying a person in her hand, but her legs were like the wind, so she caught up with her!
