Jiang Xiu glanced at Yan Wei.

He had never had a good face since he appeared, and now he was staring at Yan Wei with a gloomy expression, his knuckles moved slightly, as if he wanted to make a move.

Yan Wei's perception surged in his mind, and he clearly felt a contemptuous killing intent—but Jiang Xiu didn't make a move. The man just stared at him for a few seconds, and then sneered: "I'm just 0 points now, and you... I'm afraid it will always be 0 points, right? Under Lou's rules, ghosts attack first, not because of Yan's protection." It can be stopped."

"You know I'm 0 points?" Yan Wei curled his lips and said honestly, "I'm 2 points." The 2 points are thanks to Jiang Xiu's "dedication". If Jiang Xiu knew, he might be angry. To crooked mouth.

Jiang Xiu didn't believe it at all: "I have no ability, but I have a lot of big words."

"No score, very little IQ."

"You—" Jiang Xiu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and stared at Yan Wei, and finally swallowed his breath.

As a seed player who climbed steadily from the first floor to the tenth floor step by step, although Jiang Xiu is vengeful and arrogant, he is not stupid, knowing that if he kills the player, he will be obliterated by Lou.

Although Yan Wei is immortal today, he can use this to lure Jiang Xiu to hit the bottom line of the killer to trigger the building, but it is normal that such a simple provocative method will not be fooled, Yan Wei is just a mouthful.

Compared to Jiang Xiu...

Yan Wei's gaze shifted to Ning Yi who was standing at the rear.

She looked only about twenty years old, with a very young face, tall figure, long hair shawl, and her delicate face was so cold that it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. From seeing the corpse to seeing the bone umbrella in the bed, Ning Yi didn't react at all from the beginning to the end. Those indifferent eyes were not stained with any emotion, but just looked ahead indifferently.

The moment Yan Wei looked over, Ning Yi noticed his gaze. But she just glanced over, and then glanced back without any waves.

Yan Wei raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Compared to Jiang Xiu, this woman named Ning Yi gave him a greater sense of crisis. As for Lin Zhen... Yan Wei didn't take neuropathy into consideration. He could feel that Yu Feizhou who acted together with Lin Zhen was very strong, but this person didn't show any evil spirit, and he didn't seem like someone who would become an enemy.

[Yan Mingguang," he said, [Pay attention to Ning Yi, I think she is more difficult than Jiang Xiu, and her friends and enemies are unknown.]

[Um.]

At this moment, Yan Wei led the first place by 2 points for quick answers, and Yan Mingguang got 1 point just now, and the two also gained strength because of their two quick answers. But these two times, one was because Yan Wei was in an immortal state at the moment, so he was able to boldly tease the ghosts, and the other was just now, the following clues will only require more and more strength, it is hard to say whether they can answer successfully every time. The rest have 0 points. In order not to be the last one tonight, the competition during the day will only become more intense today.

Yan Wei was quite looking forward to it.

The others looked at the white bone umbrella in the bed board and the bloody corpse, and remained silent for a long while with different expressions.

In the end, Song Yu sighed and said, "At least we lived together for one night. I'll bury him. This umbrella... I'll put it next to his body."

Yu Feizhou smiled warmly: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

A few players went back to their rooms and began to check the rooms. Yan Wei, Yan Mingguang, Lin Zhen and others who had done this earlier last night went to the backyard of the mountain temple for breakfast.

The pattering rain was still falling outside, the trickle of water slipped off the tiles of the mountain temple, and the mountain breeze was slightly cool. The witch stood outside the small kitchen, facing the wide and green mountain wall, holding a very normal-looking umbrella in both hands, singing the folk song of the ancient town in her old voice.

"The stars are up, the moon is up..."

"This is a mountain and river bestowed by God, this is a fertile field, this is a blessing from heaven..."

"Let it rain, let it rain, the crops will grow..."

"We put up our umbrellas..."

Above the main hall of the mountain temple, the children in the ancient towns who used the main hall as a school also sang. The pure children's singing is mixed with this old singing, and there is a ghost in the clarity.

Yan Wei and the others sat at the log table, the dishes on the table were steaming, but everyone looked outside the door.

I saw that the sorceress had finished singing once, and bowed three times to the mountain with an umbrella. Just now Lin Zhen was not afraid of death and went straight up to ask the sorceress what happened last night, but the sorceress just denied it, killed her and did nothing last night, and then started this so-called worship of the mountain god in the rain.

"It's a pity," Lin Zhen ate his meal boredly, "The sorceress can't ask anything, and can't trigger anything. I was wondering if it would be fun if she got mad. Yan, otherwise Are you playing with me?"

Yan Mingguang didn't lift his eyelids.

The cook brought up the freshly made sweet potato porridge: "We are all relying on the mountains to eat the mountains. There is nothing precious. They are all these local vegetables. Travelers don't mind."

Yan Wei turned his head and glanced at the cook who prepared food for them.

The cook's name was Hu Ayu, and according to her, she came from the town to help temporarily. I heard from the sorceress that there are travelers passing by the mountain temple for a few days, and she has no financial resources to live alone, so she came to take this job to maintain her life.

Her head was wrapped in a flower scarf, and she was wearing the clothes of the ancient town's national style. She looked in her twenties, with fair skin and delicate features, a beauty that could not be concealed even by the smoke from the kitchen. When she put down the porridge, she happened to meet Yan Wei's gaze, and she smiled gently at Yan Wei.

It's really rare to meet this kind of npc in the dungeon in the building, unlike waiters, painters, witches, or npcs who are weird or nagging.

Yan Wei also smiled, and asked her, "Is the town at the foot of the mountain?"

"Brother Yan is going to the town? Just leave the mountain temple and walk all the way down the road. In two days, it will be the Mountain God Festival every 12 years. There are umbrellas at the door of everyone. Brother Yan, be careful not to Knocked down."

Lin Zhen was also listening, and asked, "Why can't you touch the umbrella?"

Hu Ayu ignored him.

Yan Wei did not have the same eager tone as Lin Zhen, but had a smile on the corner of his mouth, his peach petal-like eyes drawn out an intimidating arc, and he asked in a chatty manner, "Is this your custom?"

She smiled at Yan Wei with a gentle voice: "Yes. We believe in mountain gods, and Yuze is a gift from the mountain gods. Every year during the harvest season, we will hold umbrellas to welcome the gifts. The mountain god festival is the rainy season, and everyone will put their own Homemade umbrellas are placed outside to show respect to the mountain god. People in our town... "

Yan Wei noticed Hu Ayu's pause.

Her complexion changed slightly for a moment, and then she returned to her smile, and said, "I have a bad temper, so be careful."

Have a bad temper

Hu Ayu had already turned around and left. The players who were eating breakfast all paused. Lin Zhen glanced at Yan Wei rather displeased: "Why do you ask me? Do npcs look at their faces?"

Jiang Xiu sneered: "When we were having breakfast, this is a point of information that will definitely let us know. It doesn't matter whoever asks, and it will definitely tell us in the end."

Yu Feizhou took a sip of the porridge slowly, and said in a steady and gentle tone: "Yan Wei is also a player, and it is his ability to ask questions."

After saying that, he nodded to Yan Wei.

Yan Wei has always been courteous to those who treat each other with courtesy. The other party showed him respect, and he nodded politely back.

Yu Feizhou's strength was unpredictable, so Jiang Xiu slumped at him, gritted his teeth, got up and patted Zheng Mao: "We're done eating, let's go down the mountain."

Zheng Mao hurriedly put down his chopsticks and followed Jiang Xiu out.

The sorceress is still holding an umbrella in the rain, worshiping against the mountain wall. Jiang Xiu didn't dare to move his umbrella rashly in this dungeon, and walked through the backyard in the rain.

Zheng Mao trotted behind him: "Brother Jiang, why don't we find some clues on the witch first? This old bastard must know a lot."

"You know that the sorceress knows a lot, but others don't? It's an answering mode now, and everyone is staring at where there might be clues. Except for Yan, there is also the player who pointed out the theme of the dungeon—it may also be Yan, we are all 0 points, there are a lot of players who want to quickly find clues on the witch, because the witch is the most obvious breakthrough. But the rule of the answer mode is that each progress is worth one point, whether it is to find out the big progress of the dungeon theme, or to find the dead The skin and bone umbrellas in the bed board are all one point. Then why did we go there to fight for one point that everyone is staring at? What the cook just said is also very obvious-people in the town have a bad temper, this is a point of information , there must be rush points in it.”

Jiang Xiu actually thought very clearly.

He entered this dungeon because Jiang Ping died in the gambling dungeon that Yan participated in. His goal was very clear—to let Yan Mingguang die, and by the way, let the ignorant Yan Wei brought by Yan Mingguang also die in the dungeon. in this copy. Now that the difficulty of the dungeon has been increased, entering the best player betting and quick answer mode, his advantage of being able to do a job with ease will be lowered, and he must get the quick answer points ahead of Yan Mingguang.

He squinted his eyes and sneered: "I just need to recover the difference of one or two points, and we will go back to the mountain temple immediately. I can stop Yan wherever he goes, so he will definitely have the lowest score. Anyway, I will drop the score." There is no point for Lou to come in, and it is meaningless to score the first answer. I just wanted to avenge Jiang Ping, so that Yan Mingguang could not get out of this dungeon, but he actually played me yesterday, and caused me to lose a ghost exorcism obtained on the eighth floor Props, not only do I want him to die, I want him to die painfully... "

"And the sharp-mouthed waste next to him, I want to watch them be skinned and boned with my own eyes."

Gambling area.

"Jiang Xiu's move is so insidious, don't be the first, just let Yan always be the last."

"As expected of a seed player. On the first night, he probably just made a mistake and thought about it. Today he recovered. He was right. There is a shortcut in the quick answer mode, that is, no matter what the quick answer is, it is 1 point. Competing with many people for 1 point In comparison, a person leisurely looking for uncontested points has a greater chance of winning."

"But the witch has more clues, maybe you can find out a few points."

"Then there are seven or eight people who are dividing it. Where can I get the division in the ancient town?"

"Look! Sure enough! Jiang Xiu is still smart. After the sorceress worshiped the mountain god, Yu Feizhou and Lin Zhen followed behind."

"Yan Mingguang and Yan Wei also followed! Three other players have also gone! Eight people... It's not worth three or four points."

"With an experienced player like Jiang Xiu targeting, and now competing with that group of players on the seventh floor and above for the witch's answer points, Yan will definitely not be able to survive this time. The one named Yan Wei with him has been up to now. No contribution at all, maybe it will delay Yan's death faster. I'm curious how he will die in the end."

"..."

Gao Ming huddled among the players and looked at the projection.

At this moment, Yan Mingguang turned on the projection angle again. In his picture, he directly grabbed Yan Wei's hand with a long whip, and the two followed behind the sorceress together. In the projection from other perspectives, other players are also hidden from different angles, obviously wanting to get clues of the dungeon from the sorceress and get quick answer points.

People around constantly judged that the points were not worth it, but Gao Ming shook his head.

"...how could he do something worthless?"

That person is gentle and docile on the surface, and when getting along with others, he always gives people a sense of comfort that is out of harmony, but if he really acts...

Yan Wei can calculate everything shrewdly than anyone else, and maximize the benefits he can get.

Inside the copy of Ankang Ancient Town.

After the witch worshiped the mountain god, she held an umbrella and walked to the back of the mountain temple, walking deeper and deeper around the mountain wall.

Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang followed closely behind.

[I can feel that there are others, there are two people who are particularly strong, it should be Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou. Ning Yi didn't come to grab this point?]

Yan Mingguang said: [I can't see through Yu Feizhou.]

[Don't you ask me why I came to compete with so many people?]

The man didn't answer his question, but said: [Sooner or later, you have to fight, and you can come earlier.]

Yan Wei laughed in his heart, and then Yan Mingguang stepped over an uneven rock, and continued: [What we have to do now is to narrow the gap by rushing to answer, our goal is different from theirs - they only need to win . We need to rely on quick answers to improve our strength, and we also need to rely on quick answers...so that others cannot win. All we have to do is grab the points they can get. The sorceress must have more than one clue here. Why did she put the bone umbrella at our door and deny it in the morning? Who skinned and deboned the girl to make a skin bone umbrella? And this morning, all the bone umbrellas in the main hall disappeared, where did they go? There are at least three points here, and we get three points, which means that all other players lose three points.]

Keep others from getting points, boost their strength, and block the strength growth of all other players. They need points, and the points between Yan Wei and Yan Mingguang must be balanced—so that in the final settlement, Yan's identity can always fall on Yan Mingguang.

No matter how many points the sorceress has here, they must get the fullest! His undead state is still there today, which is a good time to widen the gap.

[I know what Jiang Xiu was planning when he went down the mountain at this time, his cleverness...was in the wrong place again. I won't let him get that point.]

While speaking, the witch suddenly stopped.

She has already walked into the deep mountains, surrounded by thick green trees, raindrops are constantly condensing and falling from the green leaves, the land is full of mud in the rain, and it still has some grassy fragrance. But for some reason, Yan Wei seemed to be able to smell the rotten smell wrapped in the scent of vegetation.

The sorceress stopped in front of a covered well, put away her umbrella, and lifted the wooden cover of the well.

——The decaying smell mixed with the fragrance of vegetation in the forest is getting stronger.

After lifting the lid, the sorceress pulled the rope hanging beside the well, and actually raised her feet to straddle the well, grabbed the rope, and slid into the well bit by bit!

Yan Wei frowned uncomfortably, and asked directly in disgust, "Go in?"

"The width of the well, only one can enter at a time."

"I'm advanced." Yan Wei said firmly. There must be something at the bottom of the well, he is immortal today, it is safest to be the first to go in. He knew that Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou must be watching, and other players who followed were also watching, but this stalemate would only waste time, and maybe they would have to fight the players first by the well, so why not He jumped straight ahead.

Yan Mingguang glanced at him.

Yan Wei didn't say anything, just raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at the man.

With last night's "a little bit of death", he knew what Yan Mingguang could think of.

He said: "Teacher Yan has protected me for so long, and I, a good-for-nothing snack, have to use some trial and error. If something happens to me later, just have a conscience and save me."

This time it was Yan Mingguang's turn to be decisive: "No help."

Yan Wei acted as if he hadn't heard it: "Thank you in advance."

Yan Mingguang: "..."

Yan Wei withdrew his gaze and walked out, "I'm going down."

When I got closer, I couldn't see the bottom of the well, and I couldn't see any water. Instead, it looked like a big empty pit. The rope was still tied to the side of the well, and Yan Wei shook it in his hand, but there was no weight underneath—the sorceress had completely gone down.

The two had finished discussing, Yan Wei didn't hesitate, grabbed the rope and turned over, and slid into the well with the hemp rope in a blink of an eye!

As soon as Yan Wei went down, Yan Mingguang didn't even grab the rope, he lifted his foot and jumped into the well with the sound of the wind.

As soon as they got down, Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou, who wanted to wait and see, also jumped down one after another. The remaining three players rushed up, only to find that the well had disappeared!

At the other end, Yan Wei slipped to the bottom not long after.

Rather than saying it is the bottom, it is better to say it is a pool full of bloody smell.

From the top, it was obvious that nothing could be seen, but not long after it slid down, the pungent decaying smell became stronger and stronger, and it was also mixed with a very thick bloody smell.

At the bottom of the rope... is a pool of blood!

In the dimness, the pool reflected a dark color that could not be seen, and there was a disgusting smell of blood. The worst part was that Yan Wei barely managed to sweep over in the dark, but he couldn't see where he could reach—the shore of the blood pool ahead was still far away, and he could only swim across it by swimming in the pool.

It is better to let cleanliness go to death than to let cleanliness swim in the pool of blood.

The point is that this cleanliness can't die.

Yan Wei: "..."

He grabbed the bottom end of the rope, his eyes narrowed, thinking whether to wait for Yan Mingguang to come down, or think of a way to reach the bank of the blood pool directly.

The sound of "咻" suddenly sounded in the air, three times in a row.

The black arrow feathers pierced the air, bringing a breeze that brushed past. A figure with a long bow fell from above, grabbed Yan Wei who was still holding the rope, and stepped on the whirling arrow feathers when he turned over!

Three arrow feathers pierced the surrounding rock walls at once, and the people who came down grabbed Yan Wei, and brought Yan Wei steadily to the edge of the pool of blood. The person who came was dressed in black, as if melting into the surrounding darkness, but a pair of dark red pupils were bewitching and bewildering.

"Lin Zhen?" Yan Wei was stunned for a moment, "Where's Yan Mingguang?"

Lin Zhen retracted the longbow in his hand, looked at him with a smile, leaned forward and said, "I'm afraid your yan fell into another entrance, yan's little pet, do you want to find a way to ask me to protect you? Although I I'm only interested in the strong, but I also like to watch the weak begging for help. Don't worry, I turned off the gambling floor projection when I came down, so other players can't see you begging for mercy."

Yan Wei's eyebrows twitched.

Another entrance

Lin Zhen seemed to know something else. This information was something they didn't get when a group of players were together, that is, last night. last night…

Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou went to the main hall of the Mountain Temple earlier than they did!

The sorceress received them in the main hall, and there is also a statue of the mountain god in the main hall. Maybe there is a secret about the hidden caves in this well. Combined with the other entrance that Lin Zhen blurted out just now...

In the underground space filled with the smell of blood, the pool of blood was slowly flowing. The young man stood by the pool, a clean windbreaker swaying gently with the slight wind, standing upright, with an aura that could not be suppressed by the blood in his eyes. through.

He lowered his head slightly, his pale brown eyes flashed cunningly in the dim light, and his tone was smiling: "How about a bet?"

"Hey, you actually want to bet with me? What are you betting on? What do you have that is worthy of my bet? Little pet, I am not a good person. I don't have the compassion of Yu Feizhou. Don't challenge my patience."

"Bet us from now on, whoever gets the quick answer points first, I win and you listen to me, and you have to protect me unconditionally. If you win, I will listen to you and tell you everything, including Yan's matter."

Lin Zhen was originally lacking in interest, but when he heard about Yan, his expression changed slightly, and his dark red pupils flickered with anticipation.

"Okay, I can tease you-"

The other party took the bait, and the corner of Yan Wei's mouth slightly hooked: "Yan Mingguang must have followed me in, you and Yu Feizhou were moving together, and you glanced up after landing, which shows that you actually expected to see Yu Feizhou They came down. After we jumped in, you and Yu Feizhou also came in one after another—you looked up instead of forward, which means Yu Feizhou came in behind you. Although I was the first to come in, the order in which we came in ... It's me, Yan Mingguang, you, Yu Feizhou?"

Lin Zhen's casual expression was slightly retracted, and the hand holding the longbow was unconsciously clenched a little bit, looking at Yan Wei with a strong look in his eyes: "You guessed it right? How did you—"

Yan Wei just continued on his own: "But you didn't see Yu Feizhou, you didn't look for it, and you didn't look up after that, which means you don't think anyone will come—you're sure that only the four of us came in. But at that time, I felt that more than the four of us were present, we all came in, and it was impossible for the others not to act, that is to say, they didn't stop coming in, but they couldn't come in again." Yan Wei raised his eyes slowly, his eyelashes trembling slightly , with a slight smile at the end of his eyes, "Including the sorceress, five people have entered this strange well, and only five people can enter."

Lin Zhen's smile weakened slightly: "Are you hiding your clumsiness!?"

"Combined with the 'other entrance' you blurted out just now... When you went to the main hall to throw the bone umbrella last night, you found something like a map, a record of a witch, etc., in which the information of this well was written Right? The information probably says that after entering this well, it will randomly fall into different entrances, and only five people can enter at most at a time, right?"

Lin Zhen's smile completely froze on his face.

Yan Wei didn't finish: "Combining with the information you got, the weird water well that only allowed five people to enter, and the fact that we were divided into five guest rooms—the number of rooms hinted at us, the girls who were skinned and boned to make an umbrella There are five. The ground is filled with a rancid smell, and there is also a pool of blood... The dirty things that the five girls turned into after their deaths are here. The witch is familiar with the road and even dared to come in. She knows this place very well. A person who knows the place where ghosts are buried, but dares to come down knowing that there are ghosts, then she is probably the one who made the leather and bone umbrellas."

"According to the information released now, the sorceress skinned and deboned five girls, made umbrellas out of their skin bones, and threw their bodies here. And at night, the sorceress put the skin bone umbrella at the door of our room , the ghost came out of the well and killed the player with the skin bone umbrella. In the well, the endless blood of the girl flowed into the pool, dyeing the water in this place red, forming a pool of blood. The resentful souls of the five girls also made this The place has become weird, there can only be five people who come in, and after entering, they will randomly drop into five different bloody locations."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lou's reward prompt sounded in Yan Wei's mind, and his perception, which was far beyond the level of the floor, was once again heightened. At this moment, he seemed to be able to feel all the wind and grass, and he could clearly see the direction of every water flow.

[Congratulations to the player for cracking all the logic between the sorceress and the skin bone umbrella. As the first player to discover the clue, you will be rewarded: Perception 2, Points 2. ]

[You get an extra 1 point for quick answer. ]

[You currently have a total of 3 quick answer points, temporarily ranking first among the players in this copy. Players please make persistent efforts to survive. ]

Yan Wei slightly raised his eyebrows.

He was right. Although he was right about the clue, this clue...is just the tip of the iceberg. If the girl, the sorceress and the leather bone umbrella were the whole face of this copy, then the reward for this clue would not be simply 2 points of perception and 2 points.

Wells and umbrellas are just the beginning, and the mountain temples and ancient towns may still have great mysteries.

He secretly recorded these doubts, and at the same time, all players in the copy received a notification from Lou.

[The progress of the dungeon has been updated. Players have successfully answered the specific contact between the sorceress and the skin bone umbrella. The sorceress is the person who made the skin bone umbrella. She skinned and deboned the girls, and threw their bodies to death under the well in the mountain behind the mountain temple. At night, the skinless girl came after the bone umbrella and killed those who were beside the umbrella. ]

[The rush to answer continues, all players are asked to answer with all their strength and try to survive. ]

Yan Wei listened to Lou's series of prompts contentedly, and felt his improved strength again.

And this so-called bet started in less than a minute and ended.

He walked forward with a smile, patted the already petrified Lin Zhen, and said, "Let's go—bodyguard."
