MTL - Welcome To the World of Strength [Unlimited Stream]-Chapter 22 werewolf and village
Shen Yuan walked in the village all morning, at this time he was both thirsty and hungry. Looking at the delicious food on the table, he couldn't help swallowing, and asked eagerly: "Then can we eat this food?"
Wu Xing raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him.
Although it is reasonable to say that this kind of novice dungeon does not need to be too wary, but this is the first time he has seen such a defenseless person.
Zhao Yuan didn't answer but acted directly. She took out a prop and tested it on each meal, and then said: "Yes, let's eat."
Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Nanmeng watched Zhao Yuan put away the props curiously: "What is this, a poison needle?"
Zhao Yuan: "Almost, it is purchased from the mall with points. In the future, when you go to the dungeon alone, you'd better prepare one for emergencies. This time, it's because I got it, so you don't need to spend points to buy it." .”
Li Nanmeng nodded with bright eyes.
"There are too many things in the mall, and I didn't have time to search."
Zhao Yuan chuckled, "But this needs to be unlocked by level, you can buy it with D-75%. If there is no accident, after finishing the first three dungeons, newcomers can buy this item."
And generally speaking, in the first three dungeons, it is rare for the dungeon npc to confront the player, so the poison needle test is not very necessary.
The reason why Zhao Yuan took it out for testing was just in case. At the same time, it was also a lesson for Li Nanmeng and the others.
Jiang Yu wrote this down in her heart.
While eating, everyone exchanged information.
In fact, what they found was pretty much the same, but what Jiang Yu got from Aunt Ge was more important.
Wu Xing raised his eyebrows, "It seems that this is a new witness."
Zhao Yuan: "Many things are closely related to the forest, let's go to the forest today and take a look."
No one objected.
Li Nanmeng said: "Shen Yuan and I met few people in the direction we walked, so we went to the fields to have a look."
Her appearance was very mysterious, "Do you know? The people in this village grow a lot of vegetables."
Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, "How long?"
Li Nanmeng nodded: "That's right, we originally thought that the conditions in this village were so bad, and the economic situation of the villagers was also very bad, and the economic situation in the countryside was linked to the crops. I originally thought that the vegetables or grain they planted should have a good harvest." less, or because of the bad weather, but Shen Yuan and I went to the field to have a look, and found the opposite."
Li Nanmeng described it very exaggeratedly, "Do you know that the vegetables grown in the field are so big!"
She gestured.
"..."
Li Nanmeng: "The cabbage in the field also has such a big one!"
"It's like eating Jinkela."
Lin Hui pointed to the dishes on the plate: "Is it the same as these?"
Li Nanmeng frowned suddenly, "It's bigger than this, and it feels like the smallest dish on the plate."
Jiang Yu stopped eating, "We were invited by the village chief to solve his problems, so we should be regarded as distinguished guests.
Most people treat guests with delicious food, which is not only reflected in the richness of the dishes, but also in the ingredients. "
She lowered her eyes, "This is even more so in a rural environment. These green vegetables are not the smaller the better, but the village head invited us to eat the smallest vegetables."
The others also pursed their lips, thoughtful.
Wu Xing knocked on the table, "It's not urgent."
He understood what Jiang Yu was thinking.
"Go to the forest to see it first."
The others nodded without any objection.
But Shi Jun paused slightly, as if he had thought of something.
But she didn't speak in a hurry, but took another bite of the dish, chewing and savoring slowly, the guess in her heart became more and more certain.
Shi Jun hooked his lips.
In the evening, all the people in the village came back from the field. After they had eaten, they went to the forest together while the people in the village were still eating.
Before leaving, Shi Jun took out something and put it in his pocket.
The forest is at the southernmost part of the village, not too close to the houses in the village, about three or four hundred meters away.
The village chief didn't seem to want them to come to the forest, of course the reason he used was that he was worried about them. But it was precisely because of this that Wu Xing wanted to bring them over to find out.
Although the mall and other permissions cannot be opened in the dungeon, the normal functions of the mobile phone can still be used.
So Wu Xing and Zhao Yuan each held a found flashlight in their hands, and the rest of them used the flashlights that came with their mobile phones to illuminate.
They eat late in the countryside and go home late, so in order to avoid the sight of others, the sky was already dark when they came to the forest.
As soon as they stepped into the border of the forest, everyone turned on the light of the flashlight.
Wu Xing: "Go in."
Because they were led by Wu Xing and Zhao Yuan, everyone was not very afraid.
This was Jiang Yu's first time entering the forest, and it was in such a situation.
She lowered her eyes and looked around seriously, trying to gather some information.
Shi Jun followed Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu noticed it, but didn't care.
Because in her opinion, although the other party is always following her, her actions or words have not crossed the line. Therefore, sometimes Jiang Yu will subconsciously ignore it.
Shi Jun said softly: "Do you see anything wrong?"
Jiang Yu pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.
She didn't know the forest in the first place, so it was even more impossible to find out what was wrong.
If the sky was only slightly dim outside, but when they walked into the shady forest, it was completely dark.
The leaves and branches swaggering above their heads are so dense that they almost cover all the sky, like a curtain, and they are the people covered in the cloth.
Occasionally, some moonlight shines in through the branches of the trees, but it is not obvious, and it is all supported by the light of the flashlight.
The range of light exposure is limited, the brighter the place in front of it is, the darker it will be.
There are many trees with rough trunks and branched branches. Under the contrast of light and shadow, it looks like an old witch with teeth and claws.
At this time, whoever stepped on the dry branch made a slight clicking sound.
Shen Yuan was taken aback, and the light in his hand flickered.
Wu Xing frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"
Shen Yuan shook his head quickly, "It's all right."
Lin Hui twitched the corners of his mouth, "I was frightened."
Shen Yuan was a little guilty and embarrassed, and he didn't want to, but he was too timid. Still in an environment like the forest, although nothing terrifying appeared, Shen Yuan kept thinking about it, and always felt that it would happen. What came out.
He squeezed among the crowd and followed their steps.
However, Shen Yuan is a boy, so he dare not and is embarrassed to squeeze too close to a girl, but the only one who has the same gender as him is Wu Xing, but Wu Xing wants to lead the way and observe the surrounding situation, not to mention that he is unsmiling. Given Shen Yuan's courage, he would not dare to go to Wu Xing.
While walking, Shen Yuan was careful of the road under his feet, and observed the surrounding environment from time to time, it could be said that he was very busy. See all directions and listen to all directions.
But it was precisely because of this that gradually, Shen Yuan fell behind with the crowd.
The thick tree trunks seemed to have turned into a curtain that blocked all the light. There was a slight mist in the forest, which didn't seem serious at ordinary times, but when he was alone, the mist enveloped him. It was so thick that it seemed to be able to eat all the light.
The light that could have illuminated two meters originally could only illuminate one meter in front of him at once.
The other people's lights are still ahead, passing through the staggered tree trunks from time to time, obviously looking so close, but yet so far away.
Shen Yuan panicked all of a sudden.
He didn't know why this happened, it was obviously a mistake, why did he get separated from everyone?
Not appropriate…
But Shen Yuan didn't have time to think about it anymore, because no one noticed that he was separated, so he had to catch up quickly and join everyone.
Otherwise, the lights will get farther and farther away, and everyone will go farther and farther. If he is the only one left, he will get lost here.
Shen Yuan's heart was pounding with fright.
But no one noticed that he was separated, he...is it because he has always had the lowest sense of existence among everyone? Or were they subconsciously ignoring him because he was so useless?
Shen Yuan didn't know, but he knew that he had to catch up quickly.
A gust of wind blew in the forest, making the leaves rustle, but Shen Yuan shook.
The wind was surprisingly cold, almost like an evil wind.
Shen Yuan hurried forward to chase, but he didn't know why, he felt that he was obviously fast, but he was getting farther and farther away from the light in front of him.
don't leave me...
Shen Yuan was so frightened that she wanted to cry, especially when he figured out that other people didn't care about him, or noticed that he was lagging behind but deliberately ignoring, Shen Yuan felt even more sad.
The feet are on the ground, and occasionally branches and leaves are stepped on to make a slight sound.
It was very quiet in the forest, and these sounds became clearer.
The visible range of the lights seems to be getting smaller and smaller, so that only the land in front of them can be seen clearly.
Shen Yuan looked around in a panic, but couldn't see anything.
At this moment, those tall trees seemed to have turned into devils, surrounding him in the middle.
They grew taller, they grew closer together, as if the branches were joined together to form a closed cylinder in which only he was trapped.
The trunk seemed to have grown five senses, staring at the intruder in the dark forest.
The tall branches seem to be ready to hang down from the heights at any time, and open their mouths to devour him.
Shen Yuan was panting, as if he could only hear the sound of himself inhaling and exhaling in his ears.
There were trees in all directions, they seemed to be bending over, staring at him coldly and indifferently, watching him walking and running in the forest in vain.
Shen Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Wait for me..."
There was a tremor in his voice.
Shen Yuan trembled, "Wait for me..."
I don't know where it came from: Wait for me...
In the dark and quiet forest, although the sound is small, it is extremely clear.
Shen Yuan stopped in his tracks all of a sudden, his whole body shivered.
He was too scared to turn his head back.
He always felt that there were subtle footsteps behind him, following him and sticking to him.
Wherever he went, the footsteps followed.
And that voice just now...
Certainly, he must have heard wrong.
Tears welled up in Shen Yuan's eyes.
It is said that a man does not flick his tears lightly, but he is really too scared.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, and couldn't help shouting again: "I, I've fallen behind, any of you come and look for me, I can't find you."
And at this moment, that ethereal voice said again: I can't find you, I can't find you...
It's like an echo, and it's like a ghostly murmur.
Without his knowledge, Shen Yuan's face had turned pale, and cold sweat was streaming down his forehead, but at this moment he had no time to take care of it.
The rustling sound behind him seemed to be getting closer, Shen Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, suppressed the scream in his throat and ran forward.
wait for me...wait for me...
That voice seemed to be getting closer and closer, even Shen Yuan couldn't tell if it was really this voice or if it was an auditory hallucination caused by being too scared.
Shen Yuan couldn't take it anymore, she was about to faint.
At this moment, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his collar.
Shen Yuan's whole body trembled, like an animal being grabbed by the back of the neck, unable to move.
Or rather, never dare to move again.
Then a beam of light came over.
Shen Yuan subconsciously squinted his eyes, panted heavily and came back to his senses, only then did he realize that the beam of light was the flashlight Zhao Yuan was holding, and the person holding his collar was Wu Xing.
Shen Yuan's legs went limp, and he almost collapsed on the ground.
Wu Xing let go, watching him sitting on the ground, his face still pale.
-before-
The group of them scouted the road ahead to find clues. In fact, Zhao Yuan already regretted coming over at night.
"Can we really find a clue? It's too late, only the light of the flashlight, and the conditions are too restrictive."
She said to Wu Xing.
Wu Xing: "If you come during the day, are you sure you can come?"
Zhao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then figured out what he said.
Even the village head objected to their coming to the forest. If they were seen by other villagers during the day, they would not be stopped, and they would startle them or something.
It would be better to come quietly at night from the beginning.
Zhao Yuan sighed, "All right."
Then he squinted his eyes and redoubled his efforts to find it.
They had been walking for ten minutes now, and they estimated that they were about to reach the center of the forest. Even if they were not in the center, they were at least some distance away from the border.
Wu Xing said: "Did you find anything?"
Zhao Yuan shook her head.
On the other side, Shi Jun was not very interested in using her mobile phone to shine light casually.
Although her body looked weak, in such an environment, she acted as if she was walking on flat ground, and every step she stepped on was steady.
Lin Hui was worried that she would cause trouble at first, but gradually found that Zhong Yu walked more steadily than herself.
Jiang Yu glanced at the light of her mobile phone, and then said softly: "I always feel..."
She paused and did not continue speaking.
Because Jiang Yu didn't know if her feelings were right or not.
Shi Jun asked, "What do you feel?"
Jiang Yu glanced back at her.
Shi Jun had a smile on her lips, as if encouraging her to speak out.
Jiang Yu said, "There are no traces of animal life around here."
No matter whether it was ground paw prints, food eaten, or feces, there was nothing at all.
But Jiang Yu was not sure if it was because she was not familiar with the forest that she made this wrong judgment.
Shi Jun slightly bent her lips, "Correct judgment."
Jiang Yu was taken aback, "You...know these things?"
Shi Jun didn't answer her words, but narrowed her eyes slightly, the emotion in her eyes faded a little, "It's foggy."
The temperature also dropped.
Because of the fog, it always feels like their lights have been swallowed up.
The shadows of the surrounding trees began to show their teeth and claws. Looking at it from the corner of the eye, there was a terrifying feeling.
The air is also getting quieter.
Shi Jun stopped abruptly and grabbed Jiang Yu's wrist.
Her palms were as cold as ever.
Jiang Yu didn't break free immediately, but stopped, "What's wrong?"
Probably hearing Jiang Yu's voice, Li Nanmeng and Lin Hui also stopped.
Lin Hui frowned slightly, glanced at Shi Jun's hand movements, "What happened?"
At this moment, none of them noticed that Wu Xing and Zhao Yuan were already walking farther and farther.
The fog thickened, trying to hide their backs. Even the lights are blocked.
They are like a strange smoke, revealing malicious intentions.
This was before the fog gathered, Shi Jun took a step forward, with a cold smile in his eyes, then took out a lighter from his pocket, and tapped it lightly.
There was a click.
Red flames ignited.
The branches that were originally rustling stopped for a moment.
Lin Hui subconsciously shouted: "Are you crazy? Bring a lighter into the forest! Do you know that you accidentally..."
Shi Jun ignored her, but said: "Stop, don't go."
But this time, Wu Xing and Zhao Yuan heard the voice.
The two of them looked at each other in surprise.
Even though the distance was only a few seconds, why did they walk nearly ten meters away from Datuan?
This is absolutely no mistake on them.
Only then did Wu Xing frowned fiercely, and turned back with Zhao Yuan.
"There is a problem with the forest." This was his first sentence.
Afterwards, Wu Xing noticed something was wrong, he didn't even have time to ask about Shi Jun's small movements, but his face changed slightly, "Where's Shen Yuan?"
Only then did everyone look back.
Shen Yuan, who had been following behind them without saying a word, disappeared.
The flashlight shone from behind, but nothing could be seen.
Wu Xing's face was a little ugly.
After all, he brought this group of newcomers to clear the level, and he also proposed to explore the forest. Wu Xing claimed to be an experienced veteran, but he didn't expect this level, so that he overturned the car here.
He glanced at the crowd, "Hold hands and go back with me to find Shen Yuan."
Everyone did as they said, but in this way, only two people could hold the flashlight to illuminate.
Fortunately, there were not many of them, so they gathered together, even if it was just two flashlights, it would be enough.
The fog in the forest was very thick at the moment, as if it swallowed the light and sound, and they were afraid that something would be attracted by their shouting, so they just called Shen Yuan with an ordinary voice.
But Shen Yuan acted as if he didn't hear it.
Shi Jun said: "Okay, don't bother."
One of her two hands was holding Lin Hui, while the other was holding Jiang Yu.
She let go of the hand holding Lin Hui, took out the lighter, and lit the lighter just like when she called Wu Xing to stop.
Wu Xing looked over with heavy eyes.
Shi Jun smiled lightly, with some fearlessness and provocation, and nodded slightly to Wu Xing, "Let's go?"
The author has something to say:
The narrative at the dividing line should be understandable_(:з」∠)_
After the dividing line is what happened before Shen Yuan ran away + when he ran away, and he was found after this
Be it, flashback... um_(:з」∠)_
