Lu Ning also relayed what she heard in the thatched house to several teammates, and also mentioned the solutions they had prepared.
"Finding someone for blood exchange is indeed an idea, but...who should I look for?"
Shu Xingruo was a little hesitant about that solution.
"There are always people who deserve to die." Lu Ning knew where Shu Xingruo's hesitation came from, "We don't need to make sacrifices in this regard."
When she proposed this plan, Lan Ying and the few people in the same cell with her were listed on her inner list. Lu Ning had no psychological burden at all about killing anyone there, even if she didn't know those people at all.
"Fairytale paradise?"
When Lu Ning told the four people the information, Ye Tisi was actually the first to react.
"We actually encountered that group of psychotic and antisocial lunatics?"
"It's not us, it's everyone in this scene. I saw four, who knows if there could be the rest?"
"They can do anything." Ye Tisi frowned when she said this, "Most of them enjoy killing tourists and characters in the scene, and they will drag everyone to death together. Madmen. It can be said that they are completely willing to take their lives, and among other things, this kind of people have really high criminal IQ..."
"There's no need to lift up a bunch of scum like this." Mo Lianren patted Ye Tisi on the shoulder, "We won't wait for them to come and kill us."
"Okay, okay, at least it's not the time to worry about that yet."
After swimming up the stream, they came to a huge cave entrance. The sound of water came from the depths of the cave, and the gurgling water under their feet came from here.
The problem now is the lack of lighting.
"The moisture in this place is too heavy, otherwise we can find ways to start a fire."
Mo Lianren found a few places with dead grass nearby, but they were all wet, and obviously couldn't be used as fire starters. To make torches, he used wooden sticks and straw ropes to tie two of them, but they were still a little damp.
"It's enough to start a fire anyway, right?"
Su Zhilan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Do you have any idea?"
"It's not a solution...after all, I have no knowledge and I haven't gained any power here yet."
Su Zhilan picked up a stone from the ground, smashed it open and picked out a sharper piece from the middle. She rolled up her sleeves and turned to look at Lu Ning.
"Curse is something like this. You just said that it is full of energy. Corrupted blood can stimulate the body's potential. This is the energy rule of this world, right?"
"No - wait." Ye Tisi immediately realized what she was going to do and hurriedly reached out to stop her, "There are not even a thousand but eight hundred systems that use curses and negative energy as the source of power. These include fire, burning and drying. There are too many tricks for you to try.”
Although the distribution center provides usage methods under various energy rules in various worlds, there is no universal rule, so most people still choose to enter the world and learn there. However, there are still a small number of people who will learn something in advance in the hope that good luck will catch them in the world they will enter in the future.
"Then do you have any good ideas? You seem to know more than me." Su Zhilan ignored Ye Tisi's kindness and cut a wound on her arm with a stone chip.
The blood flows out, and the color becomes darker at night, making people even wonder if this is the color of decay.
"Curse blood, lunar night, sealed mountain, hunting ghost... If just one item is too broad, just add more. You should be glad that this is not a magical world view. This helped me rule out a few things. Lots of useless options..."
Su Zhilan used blood to start drawing small patterns on a large stone.
The first one failed.
The second one still failed.
third fourth……
Seeing that she was about to scratch herself again, Ye Tisi and Shu Xingruo held her back.
"If it doesn't work after trying it, forget it!" Shu Xingruo cut a strip of fabric from the clothes inside and wrapped it around Su Zhilan's wound.
"This method is just trying to luck! What are you obsessed with!" Ye Tisi put her hand on the stone and said angrily, "Ancient ghost techniques, spiritualism, fear runes, exorcism spells - I know all the things you use! It’s useless! They don’t exist in this world, so they don’t have any effect!”
Su Zhilan was silent.
"You are trying to use human methods to do something that a machine can do, just like using exhaustive methods to find the password for an eight-digit combination lock!"
"There's no use arguing here."
Lu Ning coldly interrupted what Ye Tisi was about to continue.
"This is not the time to put it to use, let alone get yourself covered with bruises now. We go in in the dark, even if there is any danger, I will be there to bear it."
"I'm with you." Mo Lianren stood up, picked up a wooden stick and handed it to her. The two of them beat the ground and walked into the cave together.
Lu Ning knew what the problem was.
Su Zhilan is a pessimist. Unlike Lu Ning, who thinks about the worst-case scenario and then actively takes action, Su Zhilan will really get into trouble because of certain things, and then fall into negative emotions and cannot get out.
Things like this happen rarely in distribution centers, and they are relatively short-lived, but Lu Ning can also observe it.
In addition, Su Zhilan was not actually the person who was supposed to come.
Her first and second scores were both at the level of two thousand to three thousand, which was not low originally, but after being forcibly pushed to a higher level by Shu Xingruo, she gradually became unable to keep up. Her growth rate is also very fast, but it is not as good as those who were able to achieve more than 3,000 last time. Several people in a room usually deliberately avoid this most of the time, but this time they formed a team in advance and were completely exposed. overcome her lack of strength.
Each of these people is a leader with an average of more than 3,000 per game. For them, they can play well in a temporary team, and it is even easier to work together in a team in advance. However, for Su Zhilan, she was like a student with an average academic level sitting among a group of top academics. One person said a few definitions and formulas and everyone expressed understanding, but she herself was still at a loss.
If you are an ordinary person, you can just hug your thighs without thinking about anything.
But Su Zhilan wanted to be useful.
Lu Ning's hand sank slightly, and the wooden stick sank a little downward.
"The road ahead is muddy, so pay attention to your balance."
She warned and continued to beat the road ahead with a wooden stick.
It was probably because of this that Shu Xingruo forced her to advance. Otherwise, given her character, there would be little hope of participating in the advancement.
But this is not necessarily true.
"It's windy. This underground cave is still connected to the outside." Mo Lianren's voice came from not far away.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Ning saw the light spot.
Some moss covers the damp stones of the cave, giving off a faint fluorescent light. It wasn't a lot at first, but as she gradually walked inside, more moss covered her feet, around her, and even on the roof of the cave. The light they emitted made her no longer have to use sticks to find out the path ahead. .
"Hey... is it true?" Mo Lianren couldn't help but sigh.
After turning around a narrow passage, a dreamlike scene appeared in front of us.
Under the gleaming blue-white light emitted by the luminous moss, low houses made purely of bones, sand, gravel and shells surround a body of water. A pale golden light flashed in the lake, because the water was living water, and the golden light was still regularly creating waves on the water. From a distance, the shape of the entire lake looked like a crescent moon.
"Moon Lake..."
When Shu Xingruo pulled Su Zhilan in, he was also stunned.
If such a lake cannot be called Moon Lake, then I really don’t know what else can be called it.
"There was... no one in those little houses."
Lu Ning was the first to come back to her senses. The combination of the fluorescent light in the air and the light golden lake water had a magical attraction that made people involuntarily immersed in it. Fortunately, she still remembered some serious things.
"no one there?"
Mo Lianren was brought back to consciousness by her words. He walked to one of the huts and looked inside the shell door. Indeed, there was no one there.
Speaking of which, these huts are not big. Although they are described as houses, they are just because of their shape. In fact, they are more like tents, or enlarged versions of pet houses.
"I think it's better to be more vigilant."
Ye Tisi was the last one to walk in. She was not affected by these scenery at all, but had a wary look on her face.
"how?"
"In settlements that have entered the civilized stage, the use of unprocessed or rough-processed bones to make important buildings such as houses and totems instead of as decorations represents to a certain extent the aggressiveness and hostility of this race. Here is a road behind us Passage, if the residents here come back, we are afraid that they will all be wiped out."
She quickly walked to a room and took a look inside.
"Basic texts and pictures are already there, and the information records are coherent rather than fragmented. The progress of civilization here is not bad. Logically speaking, such a small place should not be described with the word civilization, but their The living habits are obviously different from those bloodthirsty lunatics outside."
Shu Xingruo walked to the lake, squatted down and looked into the lake. The pale golden light was rippling under the lake, but there was no light spot in the water flowing out from here to form a stream.
Just then, she saw a pair of eyes in the water, also looking at her.
"There's someone in the water!"
She stood up abruptly, and a sticky, webbed hand was yanked from where she was just now, and at the same time, some water was splashed on her.
"They are residents of the water!"
Even for just this moment, Shu Xingruo could clearly see the appearance of the attacker.
It has a flat head, eyelidless eyes like fish bubbles on both sides, as well as silver scales all over its body and a fish tail trailing behind it.
However, it was indeed a humanoid creature. No matter how weird it was, Shu Xingruo could still hear the soft drink it made when it returned to the bottom of the water.
It was more pleasant than any natural sound I had ever heard.
