"Jiao'er, this is our benefactor."
Wang Zhu brought Jiaoer to Li Ran.
"Thank you benefactor for your life-saving grace." Jiao'er bowed her knees slightly and expressed gratitude.
To be honest, the female siren's blinding method is really powerful. This charming girl is like a fairy, with fairy energy coming out of the dust, which is quite eye-catching.
He adheres to the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, and he doesn't bother to expose the female siren's tricks.
"Miss Jiao'er, can I ask you about the rules of the Ghost Sea?" Li Ran asked straight to the point.
Girl Jiaoer's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, with a troubled look on her face. She glanced at Wang Zhu, as if she wanted to ask for Wang Zhu's opinion.
"Jiao'er, if it weren't for our benefactor, we might never see each other again. Besides, didn't we agree to live in a place where no one knows us?"
"As the saying goes, a drop of grace is repaid by a spring. What's more, this is a life-saving grace. The benefactor can take my life."
Wang Zhu's words made Li Ran look at him with admiration. He liked such loyal people.
Before that, Li Ran was curious about a question. If Jiaoer continued to suck Wang Zhu's essence, he would die soon. But now it seems that the female siren also truly loves Wang Zhu. In order to save her life, she stopped smoking after her body recovered a little, which shows that the female siren still has a sense of her situation.
Now it seems that Jiaoer should be able to handle this problem properly.
"Yes, husband, I understand." Jiao'er nodded obediently, looked back at Li Ran and said.
“You have to remember a few rules when entering the Ghost Sea.
[You must have a ghostly aura. 】
【Eliminate inner fear. 】
[Sail against the current, true and false. 】
【Hungry. 】
[Reverse chaos of yin and yang, live toward death! 】
Li Ran took out a small notebook and wrote down the five rules that Miss Jiaoer told him word for word.
"These are the rules. Only by mastering the rules can you travel freely in the ghost realm." Miss Jiaoer said.
"Do you know what these rules correspond to?" Li Ran asked.
"The Ghost Sea will change every other period except for the rules. It's not that I don't want to tell my benefactor." Miss Jiao'er said.
Li Ran also expressed his understanding. He sat up straight and wanted to ask the most critical question next.
"Miss Jiao'er, do you know where the realm gate is in the sea of ghosts?" Li Ran asked attentively.
Jiaoer shook her head, looking confused: "I don't know, what is this?"
(She wasn't lying.)
Li Ran put away his small notebook, like a reporter who had finished an interview.
"Thank you Miss Jiao'er for providing the clues. I'm very grateful." Li Ran bowed and said.
Jiaoer and Wang Zhu bowed in return.
"Benefactor, I will take you back."
"Good work."
Wang Zhu drove the boat to take Li Ran and Xiao Yu back to the fishing village.
Wang Zhu put Li Ran down on the coast some distance away from the fishing village.
"My benefactor, I can only send you here. If I take Jiao'er back, it may arouse the resentment of the villagers." Wang Zhu said.
"It's okay, then I'll say goodbye." Li Ran pulled Xiao Yusu off the boat and expressed his understanding of Wang Zhu's behavior.
Li Ran turned around to leave, but Wang Zhu stopped Li Ran: "Benefactor, wait a minute."
Is there any follow-up?
Being actively stopped by an NPC means that the plot is actively triggered.
He turned to look at Wang Zhu. Wang Zhu jumped onto the shore and handed Li Ran a luggage: "Can you trouble my benefactor to give this to the village chief? There is a letter I wrote in it."
It was a black belt bag that Wang Zhu would usually put on a fishing boat. It contained his belongings and identity information, as well as a home key and a letter he had just written on the boat.
"I plan to live in seclusion on the island with Jiao'er. If the fishing village doesn't keep me, then I will return everything to the fishing village." Wang Zhu turned to look at the gentle and lovely wife on the bow of the boat, and said affectionately: "It's so hard to get a wife after death. No regrets.”
The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the sea surface red, and the fishing boats that go away drift far away toward the red sun on the sea.
The beautiful sunset scene is like the youth that has passed away.
"Papa, they are so brave." Xiao Yusu said movedly.
Li Ran rewarded Xiao Yusu with a chestnut: "You seem to know everything."
“Slightly, slightly, slightly~~”
Xiao Yusu touched his forehead and ran towards the fishing village like a hot wheel.
Li Ran walked leisurely along the coastline, holding his chin and staring thoughtfully.
He thought about the five rules in the sea of ghostland.
The five rules must correspond to five completely different crises.
What is the specific crisis?
He couldn't think of it and could only understand it literally.
When he was in Happy Home, after he learned about the rules from Captain Zhang, he began to prepare the rules to respond to various crises.
This time will be no exception.
Start early to be prepared.
Therefore, he must take into account all possibilities in order to pass through the sea of ghosts safely.
I wonder if there are slave owners and merchants in Guihai?
It's best if there is.
No matter how well prepared you are, you may not be able to anticipate all crises.
If there is also a slave owner merchant in the ghost sea, he still has a toad's crystal card in his hand and can enjoy VIP treatment with the slave owner merchant.
Slave-owning merchants once said that their stores spread across the dark world and were a chain operation.
If there are slave owners and merchants in the ghost sea, it can become a good supply station to make up for the lack of preparation.
If not, it would be quite hopeless.
The sky gradually darkened, and when we returned to the fishing village, the afterglow of the sunset had already ended.
Li Ran took Wang Zhu's pocket and found the village chief in the fishing village.
"Zhuzhu is really gone?"
The mayor of the fishing village was an old man with a white beard and a cane. He was crying and clutching Wang Zhu's pocket with a choked voice.
"Zhuzi grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. I treat him like my own son. Who would have thought that he was deceived by the siren and wasted his good time. Now he has gone far away for the banshee and cut off all ties with the fishing village."
"Zhuzi, you are really cruel!"
Li Ran silently watched the old village chief going through the plot.
He stood aside calmly and watched the old village chief finish the plot.
"That's all, that's all, I can't keep the child when he's grown." The old village chief walked toward the house behind him on crutches.
Li Ran naturally wanted to follow him, and he couldn't lose this mission.
The reward attribute for the task of helping Wang Zhu find his wife is very rich, and the follow-up of this task will naturally not be too bad.
"Foreigners, did you know that there are so many elderly people in this fishing village?" The old village chief turned to look at Li Ran.
"I don't know." Li Ran said.
The old village chief banged his cane on the ground and stared at the elderly people coming and going in the village with gritted teeth.
"Do you know how old they are?" the old village chief asked.
My eyes wandered around the fishing boat landing, on the streets, and in front of the houses, old and frail figures were busy in the village. Each old man looked over fifty years old.
Li Ran guessed casually: "Fifty or sixty?"
There must be a twist in the plot, it's not that easy to guess.
The old village chief shook his head, banged his cane with a look of pain on his face, and wailed: "They are all young adults in their twenties and thirties."
Although I had more or less guessed it in my heart, I was still shocked to hear it from the village chief.
He thought of Wang Zhu's body aging rapidly after being sucked by the female siren. He thought that Wang Zhu was the only one who was harmed.
But looking at it this way, it turns out that the entire fishing village has been plagued by the female siren.
"Fishing villages have been fishing for a living for generations. I don't know when, many sea monsters appeared in the sea. They sneaked into fishermen's houses while people were sleeping to suck the yang energy."
"At first, people didn't care, thinking they were just tired and tired."
"As time passed, people discovered that the young and middle-aged people in the village were visibly aging day after day. Only then did people realize that something was wrong."
"At night, some fishermen discovered a sneaky figure on the beach that sneaked into the fisherman's house. A moment later, he escaped from the fisherman's house into the sea. The next day, the young adults in that family had aged a lot."
"At the beginning of the discovery, people jointly encircled and expelled the sea monsters. After a period of silence, after people relaxed their vigilance, the sea monsters came back again. They never confronted the villagers head-on. They just waited until the villagers relaxed their vigilance and took advantage of the situation."
"Over time, the effective forces that could have fought against the Kraken have gradually grown old. Now, they are no longer able to fight against the Kraken."
"At night, they no longer fear or hide. They sneak into fishermen's homes without restraint and blatantly suck in Yang Qi."
"It won't be long before the people in the fishing village will grow old one by one, and the village will cease to exist."
The old village chief said a lot to Li Ran in one breath.
It was obvious that the old village chief was angry and helpless, and there was nothing he could do to deal with those sea monsters.
The old village chief sat on the stone steps in front of his house, holding the top of his crutch with both hands, and looked at Li Ran: "Young man, I see that your bones are amazing..."
"Can you help the fishing village solve the siren crisis?"
This is an optional mission.
Li Ran needs a reply to receive it.
(This is a team task, and the task is difficult. It is recommended to form a team with a trick value of 2500 or more.)
(Tip: With your current strength, you can do this task alone.)
After reading the prompt, Li Ran smiled lightly: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mission rang in his ears.
[Trigger mission: Siren Crisis (Team Formation)]
[Mission reward: guile +500, points +5000, rare equipment*1, rare prop*1, rare card*1]
"I'll go, the team mission rewards are fine."
Originally, team tasks required a balanced distribution of attributes, points, equipment, props, etc. to each team member.
If he does this task alone, he will naturally receive all the rewards.
The old village chief nodded happily and said, "Young man, the fishing village will repay you."
After that, the old village chief got up and walked towards the house, beating his back as he walked, leaving behind a lonely and vicissitudes of life.
"It's half past six."
Li Ran looked at the time for a while.
There were less than six hours until midnight, and it would still take half an hour to get back.
He must solve the Kraken crisis at eleven o'clock.
This task cannot be done during the day.
The information revealed in the words of the old village chief was that the sea monster would only appear at night and would climb ashore from the sea when the fishermen were sleeping.
It's obviously still early now, smoke is rising above the houses in the fishing village, and it's time for dinner.
Fortunately, the fishing village retains a very original style. There are no electronic products or even street lights.
Thinking about it, the old villagers in the fishing village should go to bed very early.
Li Ran came to the coast and took out a few bags of instant dry food to fill his stomach.
Xiao Yusu had followed him out for a day and was so tired that he yawned again and again and asked Chi Tong to carry him back to the summoning space.
The time came to eight o'clock in the evening.
The moonlight was like frost, covering the sea with a layer of silver light, and also illuminated the fishing village in a miserable silver light.
At this time, no fishermen were seen coming out of the fishing village.
As Li Ran expected, in the relatively primitive village, the villagers went to bed earlier.
Looking back at the fishing village, there are only a few lights left.
"Wow~~~"
The sound of the tide laps on the shore, and the sea breeze is gentle and cool.
Li Ran quite liked this feeling.
The bright moon rises over the sea, and the world is at this moment together.
"Is Su Bingyao also admiring the moon with me?"
Li Ran smiled lightly, and then took out the (rare) skill book rewarded by Wang Zhu's mission from the storage space.
"I hope you can give me a good skill." Li Ran prayed in his heart.
[Skill Book: Ghost World and Human World]
[Quality: Rare]
[Conditions: Need to master three or more dark skills]
[Active skill: Summon the ghost domain to the designated area. The target in the area will be devoured by the worm breeding ground. The more targets in the area, the more worms will be. If the target does not die, slowness and decay effects will be left, which will last for one minutes, cooling time: one hour]
[Passive skill: Worm Mark: Gives the dark attack a worm mark when it hits the target. The mark will trigger the dark worm's attack after five seconds, with a slowing effect. 】
"Good skills!" Li Ran said excitedly.
The rare skill given this time not only provides a powerful group damage control skill, but also has a passive skill.
Li Ran can also meet the requirements for skills.
His shadow skills are all dark skills, and there are more than three dark skills.
Shadow Escape, Shadow Bite, and Shadow Strike already meet the requirements.
The active group damage skill has yet to be tested, but it shouldn't be too bad.
The damage of the skill is almost linked to the player's guile value.
The stronger the guile value, the larger the skill range, the stronger the damage, and the better the control effect.
Passive mark is also a very awesome skill, which is equivalent to adding extra damage to his existing dark skills.
His current attribute panel is about 5,000.
Creativity: 4980
Agility: 2420
Strength: 1670
Physique: 1750
Points: 66550
The guile value and points increased by three hundred and three thousand.
There is one more active skill [Ghost World and Human World]
There is one more passive [Mark of the Worm]
Other skills remain unchanged.
Just the change brought about by one skill gave Li Ran a qualitative leap in his combat effectiveness.
If he encounters a situation where enemies attack in groups, he no longer has to restrain himself.
He couldn't wait to test the power of this skill.
"Gululu!!"
Li Ran's ears moved slightly, and his scalp moved as well.
A sound that was incompatible with the sound of the tide broke into his ears.
He raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "It's just the right time."
"shadow!"
Li Ran's body slowly integrated with the surroundings and entered a state of invisibility.
He jumped high into the air, jumped onto the roof, and scanned the entire coastline with sharp eyes.
The moonlight is like water, shining on the sparkling sea.
Looking down at the coastline, there are actually more blue fluorescent lights emerging from the dark tide, spreading all over the coastline.
"Blue tears?"
In the real world, the phenomenon of "blue tears" occurs at night in some sea areas. The tide has fluorescence like blue teardrops, and when it washes ashore, it shines like tears.
But there is obviously no such thing as blue tears in the weird world.
More and more dots of faint blue fluorescence gathered in the waves, and they stayed motionless in the middle area between the beach and the fault seabed.
From a distance, I thought it was a group of blue jellyfish gathering on the beach.
"Spiritual feeling."
But after Li Ran's spiritual sense exploded, countless bright rays of light converged into a bright galaxy in his spiritual world.
"I'll go, so many?"
Each star represents a sea monster, and there are at least hundreds of them in the world of star lights, and there are still star lights gathering on the coastline one after another in the ocean.
The old village chief said in an understatement that there was a sea monster sneaking into the fisherman's house, and he was still sneaking around.
Li Ran subconsciously thought that the number of sea monsters was very small, otherwise why would they sneak in secretly.
"What a pit, what a huge pit!!" Li Ran cursed the old fishing village chief in his heart.
Are there such a large number of Krakens using sneakiness?
This team mission is simply designed to trick players.
The sea monsters that deal with fishermen in fishing villages are not at the same level as those that deal with players.
The brightness of each sea monster's light is in the range of dazzling and dazzling. Judging from Li Ran's current power value, these sea monsters have a power value between 2000 and 2500.
Li Ran frowned slightly. At this moment, he sensed that there was a constant and dazzling light hidden in the sea further away.
"There are more than three thousand sirens?" Li Ran frowned slightly.
Underwater combat is not Li Ran's strength.
He must wait for all the sea monsters to come ashore and catch them all.
In order to ensure maximum output, he planned to call both Xiao Yusu and Xiao Chitong to join the battle.
As his attribute values increased, Xiao Chitong shared a 20% attribute bonus, and now the combined attributes have exceeded three thousand guile points.
The little witch Yusu's magic value increased by 300, reaching 2500, under the nourishment of the dark atmosphere of the Exiled Land under the sea.
But Yusu's role cannot be played alone. She is Li Ran's best assistant.
Just like the deer assist in a pesticide game.
When you meet the strong, you become strong, and the strong is invincible!
"coming!"
The lurking sea monsters in the tide began to come ashore one after another.
Li Ran stared at the figure crawling out of the tide.
I saw a monster with only a blue jellyfish shawl and a head like a jellyfish body crawling out of the sea. After contacting the land, they crawled and became upright. They walked in a weird and staggering posture, as if they would fall at any time. On their heads They have six vicious blood-red eyes and a flat mouth like a sausage, and multiple tentacles like willow branches grow on their heads and fall on the ground to assist them in walking.
Their lower bodies are milky white, with gelatinous skin and fins growing on their limbs. There are also sharp blades growing on the backs of their hands and feet, which can easily tear through hard materials.
Watching more and more sea monsters climbing ashore, Li Ran summoned Chi Tong and Xiao Yusu to his side, and said with a focused look: "Let's have a big fight!"
