Volume 7: War and Peace in an Abandoned Town Chapter 27: Cabin in the Woods
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
The shadowy forest was filled with the scent of the forest. Li Lin stumbled through the woods, glancing at the surrounding scenery from the corner of his eyes and calling out constantly.
Although if there is really no one, this scene does look stupid, but this behavior is indispensable. It is equivalent to a tactical feint. It is stupid to directly dismantle the air-to-air, but if you don't do it, the enemy will do it. I don't know how many people died because of this.
Li Lin's resurrection times were really limited, and he didn't want to waste another precious resurrection opportunity in this ghost place. It was already very precious that he had only wasted one resurrection after going all the way here, so he had to be extremely cautious in taking the orthodox route. Although his behavior looked stupid and foolish, Li Lin, who was stumbling forward in the forest, knew clearly the significance of his actions and kept a close eye on the people around him.
In fact, caution is necessary.
In the corner of Li Lin's eye, he often saw some runes that looked like eyes flashing around, blinking and then closing again.
If it weren't for Li Lin's spiritual consciousness and other messy things, he would have screamed crazily just by seeing those runes. But the tree sentinels under the cover of night were no longer a big problem for Li Lin now .
Having seen the appearance of the old gods, and with a big demon following him every day, even if he didn't know how to do it, he knew roughly what to do. Looking at those closed eyes, Li Lin only felt a headache, and then burned some mana bars, and even the upper limit was not reduced, which was equal to the automatic mana recovery.
Although at this rate, an average player might have died ten thousand times, right?
Looking at his blue bar that was jumping up and down like the stock market, Li Lin sighed in his heart and continued walking through the forest.
Unlike when we first went down, the way up was much more difficult, and because of the fog and tree sentinels, we often got lost by mistaking the direction.
Fortunately, Li Lin was strong and tough, and he rushed forward despite the noise in his head. He took two steps at a time and walked out of the forest area. He limped to the signboard, then looked at the room with the oil lamp and breathed a sigh of relief.
Is this just getting started? Or just walking through the door?
But no matter what, the presence of tree sentinels means that there are definitely people here.
Although he had no idea whether there were people here or not, or whether they knew he had arrived, Li Lin still cut himself twice in a very cowardly manner, bleeding all over, and then limped to the door.
After checking that there were no symbols or positions around him and that the wooden door had normal opening and closing marks, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and boldly reached out to knock on the door. In order to pretend to be more convincing, he howled a few times, saying things like "everyone in the village is dead and only you are left, you are the hope of the villagers ."
But as if sensing Li Lin's unreliability, the entire room remained bright and silent.
No matter how hard Li Lin knocked on the door, the door was locked and it looked dead silent and deserted.
"Did I really make a mistake in my judgment?"
After crying and shouting outside for a while, Li Lin began to feel uneasy.
What's more, pretending to be crazy for a long time looks really stupid. Since there is no reaction, it is better to just break into the house.
His palm was placed around the door frame, and the magic power cut through the lock core like a water knife. It was no harder than cutting a piece of tofu, and the lock, which looked quite old, fell off. Li Lin opened the room and looked at the structure inside, and then he immediately understood why the people here did not agree to his request.
Because this guy has been dead for who knows how many years.
“…”
Looking at the whitened skeleton and the surrounding items that remained brand new under the power of runes, Li Lin truly felt awe in his heart .
Just from the skeleton structure, it can be seen that this guy with a human head has probably already transformed into a maggot. Several bones are broken, and you can even see the gelatinous substance inside. As if it senses the arrival of a new person, the gelatinous substance inside trembles quickly, and then calms down under the breath of crazy blood and virtual godhead.
Without a doubt, this is another typical door-opening killing. If it weren't for the crazy blood and the godhead, the gelatinous substance in here would probably revive quickly, bringing great surprises to the NPCs or players who invaded here. But this kind of thing is too common, and Li Lin doesn't even feel surprised. And except for the skeleton, there is no difference between this place and the simulated appearance of the outside world. The only difference is probably that there is no black cane.
It seems that this black cane is a very important thing.
Shaking the black wooden stick in his hand, which was becoming more and more convenient to use, Li Lin thought for a moment and continued to observe the surroundings.
Then, he found the second unusual object very quickly. A book was spread out on the desk, as if it was telling an unfinished story. The way it was placed seemed to be saying, "Please come and see me."
"Books? New knowledge again?"
No, wait a minute.
Looking at the books that seemed particularly conspicuous placed there, Li Lin's outstretched hand subconsciously shrank.
He realized something else was wrong.
I have been calculating based on the difficulty reduction, right? But now it is no longer a difficulty reduction, but a normal game process, so will it be so easy here?
If you think about it, you will know that if you weaken it, it will be safe and the benefits will not be much, but the normal process will definitely be full of dangers. For example, the jungle sentinel just now, if you replace it with a lesser mana with a poor memory, I am afraid that it will burn out the mana bar halfway. And this time, this book is just left here for you to see?
Is it possible?
Li Lin lowered his head and thought about it, then extended his magic power to cut his index finger.
The stinging pain and blood spreading from his fingertips were not wasted by Li Lin. He expressionlessly smeared some weird and strange symbols on the first pattern of his palm.
The symbols quickly twisted and moved on the skin, and then immersed in the flesh and blood. After setting a trigger condition through his special skills and squeezing the black cane hard, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief and placed his palm on the book that seemed to have no problems.
As Li Lin expected, the moment he touched the book, his brain let out a shrill scream.
