After packing all the seemingly important things, Lu Ning pulled out the dagger, squatted down next to a young pig-faced man, stretched out his hand to hold his head, and the dagger sank into the back of his head, but the man was gone in a moment. breath.
"Kill them all?" Zhao Chenshuang asked.
"The dead will not be reset. Now we have killed one and a hundred, and there is no doubt that we are on a hostile stance." Lu Ning gave Zhao Chenshuang a cold look, "Or are you planning to torture?"
"Language barrier, why torture? Why can't these guys learn our language like those fishmen?"
Zhao Chenshuang complained, but she quickly broke a person's neck with her hands.
It didn't take much time to carry out such an execution. When these people died, they still had angry and resentful eyes, but they were not afraid at all. This also made Lu Ning feel a little weird.
However, the four of them still needed to return to the hunter's cabin near the mountain village. After all, they had agreed to meet there at dusk.
"Haha... I didn't expect that I couldn't fight. I'm really disappointed."
"You should be lucky that you can't fight. We were three against two and we barely beat these two." Mo Lianren is not as arrogant as Zhao Chenshuang.
Nothing unexpected happened on the way back. At about four o'clock, Lu Ning and his party had already seen the hunter's cabin that Shu Xingruo had discovered.
Different from the one built by "Fourth Brother" before, the house built by "Third Sister" is obviously stronger and more durable. The inside is also carefully decorated, and the important furniture has also been treated with anti-corrosion. It is still a intact house now, except for the outside. It is already covered with ivy outside.
Two people were sitting on the bluestone in front of the house. Pang Shaotong and Yin Mai, old and young, were chatting in low voices. Seeing Lu Ning and others coming down from the mountain, Pang Shaotong jumped off the bluestone and ran to the house to inform them, while Yin Mai was waiting for them there with a smile.
"Mr. Yin, have you already searched the mountain?"
"We've looked for it, and we've brought everything we can, and Miss Ye is sorting it out inside." Yinmai chuckled, "This is not something I'm good at, so I came out to be on guard duty. Did your trip go well?"
"We found a place, but there's no one there. Let Ye Tisi see something useful." Zhao Chenshuang said a little impatiently.
"Go in, Ning Yatou took Miss Su to the hunter's cabin. She may not come back until later. You can wait a moment."
"Why is she going to the hunter's cabin? Those guys are very dangerous!"
Lu Ning was slightly shocked. She definitely didn't want to come into contact with Shi Xiaolang for a second time, at least until she mastered the same level of power. She didn't want to encounter him at all. Now Ning Yeyi actually took the initiative to send it to her door?
"You have to understand that everyone likes to think in different directions. Ning Yatou should also have her own habit of solving puzzles. As long as she doesn't cause trouble to the team, there is no need to disturb her." Yinmai tapped her leg , smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, that girl knows what's going on."
Now that it was all said and done, Lu Ning couldn't argue anymore, nodded to Yin Mai and walked into the room.
There were several books on a long wooden table, as well as some weapons, wood chips and clothes. Since Mo Xiren passed by, he definitely didn't leave any good things behind, so the things on the table looked very dilapidated. Ye Tisi was standing in front of the table at this time, holding a book in each hand and comparing it.
Lu Ning said hello after entering the room, then took out the powder, stones, wooden boards and iron rings from the backpack and placed them on the table.
"So you took a pig-faced man's lair and found these things?"
"Another point."
Zhao Chenshuang also found similar items from several other pig-faced people. The only one with more items was an old man who had a horn ornament made of shells.
"There are also these two masks. They will actively grow on people, so don't touch them with bare skin." Lu Ning finally took out the mask, and Ye Tisi couldn't help but twitching at the corner of her mouth after seeing it.
"Do you really think I am omnipotent?"
"But you are the one among us who is good at this field." Lu Ning said seriously.
Ye Tisi pinched her eyebrows, with an expression of pain and happiness on her face.
"You guys really put a lot of pressure on me..."
Then she kicked everyone out, saying that if you want to decipher the mysteries of these things, you have to think quietly alone. When Lu Ning walked outside, she found that Deng Wei and the rest of the people had also returned. They went up the mountain to hunt and gather. Although they did not return as loaded as the hunters, they also brought back a lot of food, and even some with bamboo tubes. Bring back the clean water.
"Is it okay to light a fire on the mountain?"
Zhao Chenshuang asked.
"The hunters won't come here, and the villagers won't go into the mountains. The only thing we need to worry about is the pig-faced people, but there are currently no traces of them appearing during the day."
After Lu Ning nodded, Deng Wei and the others quickly skinned and decomposed the prey, set up a fire and began to barbecue.
The sun was gradually turning westward, and Ye Tisi's work seemed to be going on for a while. People outside took advantage of this rare leisure time to start eating barbecue and chatting.
"How old are you, Lu Ning?" Deng Wei was a very talkative person. Even if he got a cold shoulder from Zhao Chenshuang, he didn't care too much and soon came over to chat with Lu Ning again.
"Twenty-one, when you die." Lu Ning took a piece of meat from Deng Wei. He is indeed a wild survival enthusiast. At least the level of barbecue is quite good. The outside is slightly burnt, but the inside is still tender and juicy. , even without seasoning, it still has some flavor.
"It's a pity that you are young." Deng Wei smiled, "I heard that you were the first person to discover a way to escape from time reset, and you went back to save us. But now I have time to say thank you to you."
"It's all a coincidence, just good luck."
"It's a great act for a lucky person to be willing to share with others." Deng Wei pointed to the two brothers squatting by the fire to take care of the meat. "We met by chance at first, and later we liked to date together. went."
"Then how did you..."
"Surviving in the wild, accidents are normal. The three of us brothers are all single, so I don't care. We don't have many people close to us, they are all friends. Even Huzi's family has people to take care of, so I I feel guilty, so I have to find a way to send him back no matter what."
"What about yourself?"
"It's good to be alive. I'm actually quite happy to be able to explore places like these that I couldn't even imagine before. Lu Ning, I know you are all smart and can think of things we can't think of, but this... Let's upgrade this , You can't just leave a way for one kind of person, right? I don't ask for anything else, at least take care of my brother." Deng Wei actually had a flattering look on his face.
"But I can't protect anyone. If we really want to fight, I will even need your protection."
"One of the things I learned the most here is not to underestimate anyone." Deng Wei clenched his fists, "Because we are all ordinary people, and no matter how much we exercise, our bodies are extremely fragile - you see Now, not every scene will generously give you a superhuman physique, and in this case, it is extremely easy for us to die because of a little mistake or a little misjudgment.”
"What you said is the same for us."
Several familiar faces flashed through Lu Ning's mind.
"Even people who take the intellectual route can never guarantee that their judgments are 100% accurate. On the contrary, because there are too many clues to deal with, one mistake will cause the whole game to be lost. At this point, even Cheng Wu Ling is the same."
Deng Wei was slightly puzzled.
"The analysis you saw yesterday was all based on the world view of the entire scene. This is the characteristic of her thinking. She didn't say a word about what we should do in the middle, because she also knew very well that planning could not fill the gap. . Whether it is her or me, what we are doing is not to complete a correct approach, but to formulate a retreat after failure - just like what we are doing now."
At this time, the door of the hunter's cabin opened, and Ye Tisi walked out of the house, pressing her forehead. She looked extremely tired, but her eyes were a little bright. This movement also made everyone turn their attention, and all sounds became quiet, waiting for Ye Tisi to speak.
But when she was about to speak, her expression suddenly froze, and then she raised her hand, pointing over everyone's heads to the mountains in the distance.
"Then...is that...the castle on the top of the mountain?"
Lu Ning turned around so fast that she almost twisted her neck.
She looked in the direction of Ye Tisi's finger. In the distance was a mountain range illuminated by the setting sun. The distribution of trees on it was sparser than that of some of the nearby mountains. However, because that mountain had many above-ground rock faults, it was not Very strange.
But there is no shadow of the building.
"What?"
"Where? Which mountain?"
"Where is the castle?"
People turned their heads to look around, but found nothing. Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Tisi couldn't help but rub her eyes, and then looked far away again.
The expression on her face was full of surprise and confusion, and the information revealed was——
"Why can't you see?"
=======================
Mo Xiren was sitting on a huge stone chair, leaning forward and holding her chin with one hand. Between the fingers of her other hand was a glass test tube the size of a little finger. The dark red liquid inside was flowing with her fingers. It rotates and shakes, but it cannot leave the slightest trace on the wall of the test tube.
Opposite her was a similar stone chair. Next to the stone chair stood a well-proportioned woman, reaching out to adjust something on the back of the chair.
"Hey, just adjust it to the same height as your head." Mo Xiren called to the woman opposite.
"Are you really ready to give this guy a try?"
The woman turned her face sideways. It was Su Shengge, a teammate that Lu Ning and others should be familiar with.
"It's a dream initiation ceremony. If you survive it, won't you make a lot of money?"
"Are you really confident, or are you already crazy?"
Su Shengge snorted coldly.
There is a distance of about five meters between the two chairs, with a small cup-shaped sculpture in the middle. In addition to the chairs where these two people are sitting, there are two other stone chairs and this pair form the four end points of a square.
"I'm really not as crazy as you...I actually voluntarily sent you here a second time just to get here quickly...Whether your body can handle it or not is still a question."
