There are nine people in the dungeon where Tu Men is located.
He was in a cell with a young man and two other cells, one with three people and one with four. The older Chen Fangyu has more people in his team. Counting him, there are three men and one woman in total. The other man, Deng Wei, has only three people in his team, and the other two people originally signed up with him. It seems that No extra personnel were arranged to enter.
Lu Ning estimated that this amount was because someone had already run away.
"By the way, have you seen Xiren? I'm quite worried if I don't see her. She has been reluctant to improve her fighting skills. She said that it would be fine with her sister to protect her, but they will not be separated forever."
As soon as Tumen came up, he saw several teammates who were quite happy, so he asked.
"She's a little safer than us now."
Now Lu Ning could not reveal Mo Xiren's true nature with nothing, so he could only deal with Tu Men with a sentence, but the result was that this sentence actually made him smile.
"Okay then, let's talk. What should we do next? I'll listen to you."
Obviously he was a captain before, but now he obeys the orders of others without hesitation. Tumen also has a very good sense of how to behave in the team.
fair enough.
"Set fire."
Zhao Chenshuang threw a piece of flint into Tumen's hand with an expression of fear that the world would be in chaos.
"Huh?"
"We have done enough to save people secretly, now it's time to give these stupid villagers some revenge! Don't say that you have no resentment at all. You were thrown into an underground cell like this and eaten like food. ..." Zhao Chenshuang showed a sinister smile that could even be called the classic expression of a villain, "Burn it. The greater their losses, the happier we will be! Isn't it?"
As she said, there's no one who doesn't have this kind of fire in their heart.
The predicament at the beginning of the promotion test really caught them off guard, but it did not dampen their fighting spirit - everyone could save enough for the 5,000 registration fee, so that they would not be unable to overcome this difficulty.
There was a chorus of shouts, and then the people who were released began to look around for dry firewood to start a fire.
Dots of fire began to appear throughout the mountain village. Unlike the orderly formation of torches by the villagers "last night", this time more people escaped early, causing people in the village to be caught off guard, and even some houses were damaged. Got set on fire.
"It's almost time, retreat."
More and more villagers were alarmed by the fire, and the gong sounded again. Upon seeing this, Lu Ning immediately gathered his companions and ran into the deep mountains and forests. Those who were still fighting in the village soon suffered the bitter consequences. More and more villagers surrounded them in groups. These villagers with extremely strong vitality could not even be killed normally, not to mention that their physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.
After calming down the chaos in the village, several clan leaders immediately organized people to search in the mountains. Because the losses were more serious this time, some people soon went up the mountains to seek help from the hunters.
Lu Ning and the others quickly ran to the mountain, then followed her familiar route around the hills, and soon found the stream where they met Shu Xingruo and others.
This time, no one came out from behind the tree.
Of course, this time she came a little earlier.
"Please...if you have time..."
Everyone hid in the shadows of the woods, and only Lu Ning stood behind the tree. She didn't dare to change any of the conditions. Even though the chaos in the village was completely different from before, she still hoped that time would be reset in time.
Finally, after more than five minutes of quiet waiting, four people walked out of the forest not far away. The silhouette of the top hat on the head of the person in the front looked extremely bright under the moonlight.
"You are finally here, you have made me...wait for a long time."
Lu Ning walked out from behind the tree. The four of them looked wary for a moment, but when they saw it was Lu Ning, they immediately relaxed.
"Shu Xingruo, Ye Tisi, it's great to see you two safe and sound."
==================
The moon moved to the center of the sky.
"Ten thirty."
Outside a cave deep in the mountains, Cheng Wuling held up a watch in his left hand not far away in front of him. The fingers of his right hand were spread out, and the tips of his thumb, index finger and middle finger were in contact with the tallest tree nearby, the moon in the sky and the distance in the distance. A mountain top coincides with each other.
The hands continued to move, but the moon's position had not moved. Since ten o'clock, the moon's position had been fixed at its current position in the sky. The fifteen-degree displacement per hour in normal celestial phenomena had disappeared.
Her emotionless pupils stared at the moon in the night sky, as if she wanted to peel away all the secrets. In fact, she is doing exactly that.
"Blood curse, three rituals, three races, time freeze, time reset, red moon, missing hunter, fish-man's song, pig-faced man's mountain hunting, moon time, mountaintop castle, health and sanity, possibility of mission Choose, blood disaster——"
She lowered her head slightly and looked at the stream at her feet.
There was a corpse lying not far ahead. His throat was cut open and his entire head was immersed in the stream. The blood gurgled out, dyeing the stream red, and then slowly poured into the cave behind Cheng Wuling.
This poor victim probably didn't understand why he died.
However, there was no mercy in the murderer's eyes, because this person's death was of value to her, nothing more.
"Next, we only need to verify three things, and then it's time to start the task. I wonder how they are doing now? It's best not to have too much attrition. We haven't even passed the novice tutorial yet."
She turned and walked towards the cave.
=====================
After meeting Shu Xingruo, Lu Ning felt relieved. There were no injuries on her body, which meant that the time reset could at least completely eliminate the physical damage. The next thing to do was to find a cave and wait for the next dawn.
As the only person who escaped from the time reset, Lu Ning's words were absolutely effective at this time. Everyone went up the stream and quickly found the previous cave. Although it was a bit small, the passage was blocked by 20 people. Individuals can still do it. As for continuing to go inside, Lu Ning didn't want to experience the power of those murloc songs again.
After settling down, everyone sat down in small groups and started to make friends.
Although the Tumen side kept their voices low, they were still chatting in full swing. Mo Lianren was also pulled over, while Lu Ning quietly told Shu Xingruo, Su Zhilan and others about the current situation and what Cheng Wuling meant.
"She is planning to investigate tomorrow? This is not like her style."
Shu Xingruo knew more about Cheng Wuling than Lu Ninglai.
"For her, things that can be confirmed now will not be postponed later. Only after preparations have been made in the early stage can she relax and deal with it. Now with the chaos in the mountain village, it is no problem for us to sneak back. Will she give up such a good opportunity? "
"She should have some plans." Ning Yeyi sat down against the cave wall, picked up a stone stained with fluorescent moss, and said while looking at it, "I probably guessed some things, such as the last mission of eradication Blood disaster—she probably has that in mind.”
"Perfectly cleared the level?" Lu Ning's eyes twitched. She almost didn't think about completing the optional tasks. They were only included as information for reference. After all, she already knew that a typical physical mortal body was fighting against the extraordinary. How difficult it is.
"Because this is exactly what we want to do. The points for completing all nine tasks will be very generous, right? And the last one is obviously a group task, and I want to try it too." Ning Yeyi stretched out his hand to wipe off a little glow. Moss, put it in front of your nose, smell it, and then put it in your mouth.
"Don't put anything in your mouth!"
Su Zhilan next to her quickly grabbed her, but Ning Yeyi had obviously eaten a little.
"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure it's non-toxic. If there's a big problem, I'll go out and wait for the reset." Ning Yeyi looked indifferent and smacked her lips slightly, "Other than the glow, it's not much different from ordinary moss. .”
"It's up to you, but you said you were going to do the last mission. Do you have any clue?"
Lu Ning asked.
"It's all speculation. I want to wait until daytime tomorrow because I want proof. First of all, aren't those missing hunters a good clue? Although I haven't compared it, the strength of the hunters here should be top-notch. Aren’t you surprised by the power that can make the best among these elites disappear?”
"is a bit."
"Second, why didn't those clan leaders who brought out the dirty blood ritual under the curse of the mountain village not bring it out earlier? Could it be that they just succeeded in researching it? No... This kind of 'research' place does not exist in this village, at least It doesn't exist on the surface. Considering that only the villagers knew about it at the time, if we really want to study countermeasures, we should work together as a team instead of secretly developing them. Then another possibility is that someone taught this method."
Lu Ning nodded, she had judged this way before.
"Third, the mountain village that has been closed for so long has not lost touch with the times. Don't say what they got from the arrested people. Things like light bulbs and circuits must be laid and used. If someone is cursed and someone goes out If you don't go, it's just the other way around - someone walks in.
"Finally, it is also a doubtful point that fish people can use our language to hold conversations. Their appearance makes us subconsciously think that they cannot leave the water, but who knows the truth? In addition, water, a place that is difficult for humans to reach, has always been a difficult place for detection. Blind spot, how do we know what’s at the bottom of those Moon Lakes? Do you remember our mission? Investigate the secrets of Moon Lake.”
After Ning Yeyi finished speaking, he retracted the four outstretched fingers and exhaled.
"All of this points to the fact that the mountain village, the fish-man and the pig-faced man are not the root problem. There are other people behind the scenes who are pushing it - who controls time? Who caused the red moon? Among these things What is the logical relationship between them? Why do we do this?”
Her question aroused everyone's thinking, and at this time, the moonlight falling not far away began to turn reddish.
