"so close!"
"The scene created by this dream ghost is too real!"
The blue whale wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling terrified.
"It's good to be able to escape. That ghost has already left." Chaos Order was resting. Just now, before the blue whale woke up, the tiny shadow creature left the halo range.
Before returning to the darkness, it seemed that it wanted to attack the chaotic order, but under the Buddha's light, the ghost gave up the idea.
"Such a special ghost, I hope everyone else is okay." The blue whale swallowed a healing medicine handed over by Order.
This relieved the pain and coldness in his neck.
The bite wounds in the dream also exist in reality.
If you die in a dream, you may never wake up again.
If you are in such danger, others may not be having a hard time either.
"There is a team that should have escaped from the Dream Ghost. I received a prompt just now, but you are still sleeping, so that prompt should have been ignored." Chaos Order reminded him immediately after seeing that the Blue Whale's injury was getting better.
Hear the words.
Blue Whale opens its own system panel.
Sure enough, there was an extra piece of the idol in the backpack.
At the same time, the system prompts also sounded.
[Fragments of the statue have been collected]
[Current progress: 35%]
"Well, we'll find out when we get back tonight, but fortunately, the progress of the previous statue has improved a lot, and now, at least the first day's guarantee task is almost completed."
The words of chaos and order once again reminded Blue Whale of the rapidly climbing progress bar.
"Perhaps, the main mission of collecting the fragments of the idol this time has been increasing sharply. Maybe we were wrong from the beginning."
"You mean, we shouldn't split up?"
"Well, that's what I thought."
"Then if everyone sticks together, once many evil ghosts entangle us, wouldn't it mean that the team will be destroyed? Don't worry, if everyone is together and chooses the wrong direction at the beginning, the progress will be even slower."
What Order said was not impossible, and Blue Whale dispelled his doubts.
It seems that encountering danger while sleeping has reduced his judgment a lot.
"I was overthinking the possibilities."
"Let's rest for a while. This lantern can at least withstand the dark storm. The dream ghost sneaked in due to the influence of the halo."
"Well, I'll rest first and I'll switch to you later."
Close your eyes and see the blue whale lying on the ground.
Although she said that, she still didn't understand why the statue's progress suddenly increased so much, and in batches.
Could it be that the Will Dust really discovered a place where a large number of fragments were hidden?
Blue Whale was very skeptical.
But I have to believe it.
Forget it, as night approaches, we can figure everything out when we return to the tower.
…
Several consecutive reminders of improved progress made Wu Shang, who was sitting there resting, suddenly surprised.
[Fragments of the statue have been collected]
[Current progress: 35%]
[Fragments of the statue have been collected]
[Current progress: 37%]
[Fragments of the statue have been collected]
[Current progress: 39%]
"It was the other teams who also obtained the fragments of the statue!"
Obviously, after the dark tide came, their team was not the only one to be attacked.
After leaving the dream just now, there were more fragments of the statue in Wushang's backpack.
At this time, neither he nor Brother Xuyuan had collected anything yet, so other teams must have achieved results.
The set tasks on the first day will be successfully completed soon!
"Brother Wishing! The darkness has retreated!"
Immediately, after the prompt fell, the surrounding darkness began to recede quickly.
Even the dangerous aura hidden within it also dissipated.
At the same time, the wind and sand all over the sky began to surge.
The ruined city reappeared in his sight.
Lin Wan stood up.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look."
Wu Shang nodded heavily. At this moment, his confidence was overwhelming. Not only had his ghost aura improved and he had acquired a ghost skill, but Brother Xuyuan beside him was the source of his confidence.
Brother Xuyuan is too strong, strong enough to cause Wushang to appear, so those evil ghosts should be afraid of them!
right!
That's what it feels like!
Those ghosts are afraid of Brother Xuyuan!
It seems that at this moment, Lin Wan is the real dungeon boss!
"Fortunately, he is my teammate." Wushan said.
The two walked into the ruined city. The dilapidated houses along the streets were half buried by gravel. In front of the buildings, there were many collapsed sales stalls.
It seems that in the past, this street was bustling with activity.
But now, they are all swallowed up by the wind and sand all over the sky.
Wushang followed Brother Xuyuan cautiously.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the street.
The further inside, the burning sensation became stronger and stronger.
It's like approaching the sun.
But at this time, the sky was already dimming a lot.
This is obviously unreasonable.
But Wu Shang didn't say anything. After leaving the candle tower, there was no reasonable area.
Perhaps, this is the ghost realm.
But soon.
Wushang suddenly saw a fragment with a faint blush appearing in his field of vision.
"Brother Xuyuan, look! It's broken pieces of the statue!"
I saw the sky full of wind and sand.
A strange creature with its whole body wrapped in bandages and only its head exposed to the wind and sand, like a mummy.
Holding the broken pieces of the statue in his hands, he stood at the end of the street in the ruined city.
Empty eye sockets.
He seemed to be staring at the two people who came.
Obviously, the guy at the end of the street is a ghost!
But it did not attack Linwan and Wushang.
Instead, he slowly put down the pieces of the statue in his hand.
Immediately, he walked deeper into the ruined city and disappeared into the wind and sand.
Wu Shang frowned slightly. He always felt that he had seen this mummy-like thing before, especially that face...
"Brother Xuyuan, why do I feel like I've seen that face somewhere?"
"The leader of the Zhuying Clan."
Next to him, Lin Wan's faint voice echoed.
Wu Shang immediately thought of it!
yes!
The guy just now looked very similar to the old man in the candle tower!
…
Lin Wan frowned as he picked up the broken pieces of the statue on the ground.
The creature, which was wrapped in bandages and looked exactly like the leader of the Zhuying Clan, just glanced at them and left the place.
It seemed that it appeared just to bring pieces of the statue to himself and Wu Shang.
but why?
Lin Wan couldn't understand.
Whether it was the grave-crying ghosts before or the fragments of idols that were pulled out of lonely graves, they were all guarded by ghosts or strange creatures.
It is extremely unlikely to pick up the scattered fragments of the statue.
Not to mention, Li Gui took the initiative to send the broken pieces.
First rule out the special situation of the Graveweeper trying to please himself.
Lin Wan had no interaction with the bandaged ghost just now.
"Brother Xuyuan, could it be said that there is a side mission?" Wu Shang, who was on the side, guessed after seeing the confusion on Lin Wan's face.
"Well, maybe we can only find out by going back to the candle tower and asking the old man." Lin Wan nodded and handed the broken pieces of the statue to Wu Shang.
The fragments they collected were always placed on Wu Shang's side.
As for the fragments collected from the corpse controlled by the Gravecryer, Lin Wan can just pick them up on his way back.
He had already told the Graveweeper Ghost that when he saw him coming back, he would just place the broken pieces in front of the lonely grave.
But Lin Wan didn't know how the system made the decision.
The fragments collected by the Graveweeper were also counted on the player's head, which surprised him.
"Is it because I recruited the Graveweeper? So it's on me?"
Lin Wan was too lazy to think about things he couldn't figure out.
Improved progress is a good thing.
Just like now.
After Wushang put the fragments into his backpack, the system prompt appeared again.
[Fragments of the statue have been collected]
[Current progress: 42%]
The broken pieces sent by the bandage ghost increased the progress by 3%, which is not a small amount, and the target progress on the first day was completed in one go, and even exceeded it a little.
It was getting late at this time.
At night, when the red moon comes, all the evil ghosts will go berserk.
From the Graveweeper and Nightmare on the first day, Lin Wan roughly judged that the difficulty of this copy was actually quite high.
First, collect progress, which is a sword hanging over the player's head.
If it weren't for myself, it would be difficult for the four teams to collect 30% on the first day.
At that time, players will be forced to take risks to explore more dangerous areas.
Perhaps, entering the dark storm may lead to faster progress, but the price must be extremely heavy!
"Brother Xuyuan, it's getting late today. Should we continue to go deeper, or should we turn back?"
"Let's go back first. We have made enough progress on the first day, and there is no need to go further."
In fact, if he had not met the bandage ghost just now, Lin Wan actually planned to stay in this ruined city for one night.
If Wuzhen has too much ghost energy deducted, he can also support him a little.
But now, the ghost has disappeared. If you use the ghost eye to look for it, you will definitely be able to find it. But if you are not careful, the structure of the copy may collapse again.
Then follow the normal player process.
Returning to the Candle Tower, the leader of the Candle Shadow Clan will definitely have information.
Immediately.
Lin Wan looked towards the place where the bandaged ghost disappeared, and Wu Shang followed suit.
But the sky full of wind and sand and the gradually darkening night obscured Wu Shang's vision, and he couldn't see anything at all.
"What's wrong, Brother Xuyuan, is there anything unusual over there?"
"No, go back."
Shaking his head, Lin Wan turned around and walked out of the ruins, slipping a wooden rattle buried under the sand into his pocket.
He did see something, an altar.
In the center of the altar, there is a totem imprint similar to that of the Zhuying Clan, but this one is more complete and has not been damaged.
It’s just that the totem looks like...
Linwan.
