"Sass, we're fine, we're in the cabin now!" Cora's voice quickly came from the team channel.
The three felt relieved immediately. This place was so weird that even Qin Lun and Hansen felt tremendous pressure.
"When did you go back, why didn't you tell us!" Seth looked at Hansen and Qin Lun with some embarrassment, and complained softly to his wife.
"I don't know, we have been following you all the time. As we walked, you disappeared, but we saw the wooden house again!" Cora said in surprise.
"Could it be that this place is a ecstasy array!" Seth's eyes widened in surprise.
"Try it and you'll know!" Qin Lun and Hansen looked at each other, and said in a deep voice, "We ran for more than ten minutes just now, we will not go back now, and continue walking for another ten minutes. If we still go around to the wooden house, then It can be confirmed!"
"But... Cora and Michelle are still in the cabin!" Seth hesitated.
"Sass, do as Qin Lun said!" Cora said calmly, "We will be fine, temporarily seal the doors and windows of the wooden house, even if we are attacked, we can survive for a while!"
"Okay then, be careful, we'll be back in a while!" Sass gritted his teeth and agreed after a moment of hesitation. He had experienced five mission worlds anyway, and knew that sometimes he needed to gamble to find a way out, so he had to cancel it temporarily. The thought of going back.
The three of them walked forward again in the forest for a while, and as time went by, the fog became thicker. Under the background of the fog, the surrounding trees seemed to be all exactly the same, which completely made them lose their reference.
"Guys, I've been walking for more than ten minutes. Should I go back? If I continue walking like this, I won't be able to find my way back later!" Sass murmured. Although he and Cora have been keeping in touch on the team channel, the worries in his heart have not weakened at all.
"No need!" Qin Lun, who had the best eyesight among the three, suddenly trembled, and pointed to the front with a wry smile, "We've already gone back. If we walk another hundred meters, you should be able to see the wooden house!"
…
"So, this place is a labyrinth?" Michelle blinked her eyes wide. Compared with the apostles, the centaur girl let go, and she didn't worry about her own safety at all.
"Well, it looks like it is indeed a maze." Qin Lun nodded calmly. They just returned to the wooden house a few minutes ago.
"But, why didn't I encounter such a weird phenomenon when I went in and out of this woodland with Sheriff Maloof!" Michelle asked persistently.
"Sheriff Maloof should know the truth about this place. When he took you into this woodland, he probably chose the right time every time, avoiding the night and the fog!" Qin Lun said in a deep voice.
"That's true. When Sergeant Maloof took us into the forest, we never stayed overnight or encountered fog!" Michelle tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded in agreement.
"Qin Lun, do you think this place is what we guessed before!" Hansen looked at the others and asked secretly in the team channel.
"No, it's not like, if it's the matter we discussed before, then Broken Starry Sky should have some hints now. Besides, we still don't know why Hill disappeared, and we haven't solved the 'Mystery of Crystal Lake' yet. Qin Lun shook his head slightly and gave Hansen a wink.
"Qin Lun, what should we do now?" Cora hesitated and asked in the team channel.
"There is no need to do anything!" Qin Lun sighed, "We have done so much before, and it has been proved to be useless. It will not be effective if we continue. If there are really other dangers in this place, then it will naturally happen next time." Slowly unfolding, we just need to get together and wait for the best chance of survival!"
As the night darkened, everyone in the wooden house gradually lost their enthusiasm for discussion. There was silence around the wooden house, and even the chirping of insects in the forest seemed to have disappeared.
The mist that enveloped Crystal Lake and the nearby forest slowly seeped into the cabin, filling the room with a cold dampness. Everyone knew that they were in great danger at this time, but they still couldn't help dozing off.
Even Qin Lun felt the same heavy eyelids, and slowly closed his eyes. The night wind outside the house was like weeping, like the singing of a siren, and like a lullaby from heaven, luring everyone into the deepest sleep.
"Aw!" Just as everyone was about to sink, there was a shrill scream from the distance of the wooden house.
With a jolt, Qin Lun opened his heavy eyelids again, a trace of scarlet flashed suddenly in his eyes, and he broke free from sleepiness.
"Can't sleep, can't sleep!" Hansen staggered and struggled to get up, pulled out a dagger from his leather boot with one hand, and thrust it into his thigh. Blood spurted from his thigh, making the disciples fully awake.
Except for the two big murderers, the willpower of others is not so strong. Seth just raised his eyelids, and then lowered his head again. As for Cora and Michelle, they didn't even move. They turned a deaf ear to the screams outside the house, and slept like dead pigs.
Hansen swiftly took out a box of ointment from the team warehouse and applied it to the wound on his thigh, and took out an asthma-like thing, put it under his nostrils, took a sharp breath, and threw it to Qin Lun.
Qin Lun took a deep breath as usual, only to feel an extremely pungent smell rushing straight into his brain, and couldn't help but sneezed a few times, but his spirit was lifted, and he completely lost sleepiness.
"What is this?"
"I bought a refreshment powder from the mercenaries, a trick commonly used by mercenaries." Hansen grinned and said indifferently, "Wake them up too!"
Holding his asthma device, Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at the disciple's strong will. You must know that he wears the Iron Cross on his body and has a will of steel. He also used Joey's power just now to get rid of the mysterious power in the fog. However, Hansen completely got rid of drowsiness by relying on his own will. Obviously, the will of the disciples trained in the war is extremely firm, not weaker than him at all.
With the help of the refreshment potion, everyone soon woke up, only Michelle was still a little dizzy and unable to stand steadily.
"It seems that the change we are waiting for has already appeared!" Qin Lun stood up and pushed open the wooden door. "Go, let's go to the forest again. The scream just now seems to be very close to us!"
…
"What is this?" Cora wiped her hazy eyes and said, looking at a corpse lying in the grass.
The corpse died in a miserable state. It was cut in two from the waist, and its stomach was dragged all over the floor. However, its wounds were not limited to this one. Its limbs, chest and abdomen were covered in blood and flesh, and many parts had been chopped into minced meat. Only the face was still clear.
"Ugh, I know it!" Michelle vomited loudly while leaning on the tree trunk with a pale face, pointing to the corpse and said, "I saw pictures of it in the files of those tragedies twenty years ago, it is One of the two rangers who used to manage the campsite, Troll Funk."
"Is this a troll?" Sasby drew the length of the two corpses.
In the information that can be queried in the world of Nars, the troll is a large creature with a height of 2.56 meters, but even if the two corpses in front of him are put together, they are only 1.8 meters in length at most, and the bones are slender. More like a human.
"Dangdang!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, he knelt down and tapped the ribs of the "troll" with the evil dagger, and the sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly came from everyone's ears.
"The appearance is indeed a troll, but the body seems to have been condensed. The density of bones and muscles is very high, no less than steel!" Qin Lun looked at the corpse indifferently, and used a dagger to open a section of intestines, and examined it carefully. After a while, he said with a smile, "We seem to have found the real culprit of the villa tragedy, and there are still some undigested human organs in his stomach!"
"Ouch!" Upon hearing Qin Lun's words, Michelle, who had just vomited, turned pale, and vomited again.
"If it is really one of the two troll forest rangers, and it can still run to the edge of the camping area to commit crimes, why is it still wandering in this camping area for so many years?" Cora asked in confusion, "Is it lost? Lost sanity?"
"Judging from the villa tragedy, it should not have lost its sanity, otherwise it wouldn't have put the skull coin into the victim's mouth!" Qin Lun mused, "It hasn't come back outside, maybe it has something to do with the mutation of its body. relation!"
"Whether it's the murderer or not, it's dead now, maybe we should worry more about the thing that killed it!" Hansen said blankly, "It can cut the troll Fink, whose muscles and bones are as strong as steel, in two. And it was chopped into a meat paste, obviously not an enemy we can deal with alone!"
"The troll Fink should have been living in the dark hole of the wooden house, making a living by preying on animals in the forest." Qin Lun said thoughtfully, "After hiding for twenty years, he still couldn't escape the knife today. It was us who killed him. Dead it, if we hadn't spent the night in the cabin, it would have been hiding in the dark hole from the thing that killed it!"
"Officer Castro, do you think another forest ranger killed it!" Michelle finally finished vomiting, and asked weakly.
"It's not like, if it's just an internal strife between two forest rangers, it won't be entangled for twenty years, and Fink hasn't left here yet!" Qin Lun shook his head, "The most important thing is that I'm in the dark hole under the wooden house, Looks like I've seen another troll's thigh bone!"
"Qin Lun!" Hansen suddenly had a look of surprise on his face, and secretly cast a wink at Qin Lun, "Hill contacted me!"
"Oh?" Qin Lun's pupils narrowed slightly, "If this old fox is still alive, it means that he was not taken away by the troll Fink... but hid himself and has been avoiding us!"
"Well, he explained it to me, tell him to tell you!" Hansen nodded calmly.
"Qin Lun? I'm Hill, and I've solved the 'Crystal Lake Mystery'!" The shepherd's whisper came from Qin Lun's team channel, "Listen..."
