I don't know how long it took, but the outline of a huge banyan tree appeared in the fog. That thing is like an old god lurking in the dark. The thick branches of the leaves are intertwined. The huge canopy covers the entire sky in the field of vision. what to hunt.
Dong Zheng stepped forward, and the texture of the bark on the thick and thin tree trunk of the eight people did not seem to grow naturally. It twisted and converged to something similar to an astrolabe. The gold beads were placed in the grooves, but nine positions were left empty.
Lin Hai reached out and touched the astrolabe, the cold metal texture: "Do you want to put the beads in?"
"The number is not enough, let's talk about it when everyone comes." Dong Zheng looked around, the fog was heavy, and he could only vaguely see the dark shadows of the trees not far away, it didn't look like someone else would come over immediately: "Find a place to hide first and wait for others to come."
Linhai: "Eh? Why?"
"Don't be too conspicuous." Dong Zheng explained briefly: "It's never wrong to be careful in this kind of place."
The two found a thick tree near the root as a shelter and sat on the ground. After such a long walk, they could finally rest. They took out the water and food they had found in the ranger's hut from their bags to replenish their strength.
The two brothers are very worried. Who would have thought that after a car accident, they would come to such a strange place
The clown who guided them told Dong Zheng that they should have died, but were lucky enough to be chosen to come to the Pure White Realm - here, as long as the dead are approved by the queen, they will have the opportunity to return to the world.
And to be recognized, one has to keep entering these dangerous boxes to get a ticket to the pilgrimage to the Queen's Palace.
After eating silently for a while, Linhai took the last bite of bread and asked, "Where's that person? How is he?"
"I'm back." Dong Zheng flashed the lines on his left hand towards him, and thoughtfully said, "He is very strong. Can the most common cards given in the novice level be able to summon such a strong prisoner?"
"It's probably just luck, but that look of dangling the sky looks quite powerful..." Lin Hai complained in a low voice, not forgetting the tragic experience of being forced by Cui Zuojing to dig out the body, and suddenly heard not far away. There was the sound of dead branches being stepped on, and he immediately turned his head to look out.
The visitor was a team of three, two men and a girl, and the entire group stopped in front of the banyan tree just like they did just now.
They briefly discussed a few sentences, the content was unclear, but apparently there was not enough gold beads, and finally sat on the ground beside the banyan tree, waiting for others while resting.
After about ten minutes, there was another footstep sound. The visitor was a two-person team, all of them middle-aged men. They were walking in a hurry with injuries. Obviously, they had unfortunately experienced some unpleasantness.
The two teams met for a short time. Dong Zheng stood up and stopped waiting. He put the conspicuous shotgun on his back and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
They walked out of the fog pretending to have just arrived. The girls in the first team saw the brothers and called to them: "Hey, you guys are here too."
Dong Zheng snorted, still maintaining a taciturn image, and didn't say much. Before encountering the coffin, the people who entered the box all acted together and had some impressions of each other.
"Hey, where did you get your gun?" asked the bloody man next to him. Ever since Dong Zheng came over, he has been staring at the shotgun.
The shotgun is a big weapon, and it will definitely attract attention when you carry it on your body, so Dong Zheng did not deliberately hide it: "I'm lucky, I found it on the way here."
"Why can't I encounter such a good thing." The other party muttered unbalanced immediately, "I also ran into that monster, fuck it, bad luck."
"Anyway, it's good to be able to get here safely." The glasses man in the three-person team comforted, he looked quite experienced, "This mechanism should lead to the next map, which requires nine from the coffin. We have two gold beads from the top, how about you?"
The strong man said: "We only have one. We originally had three, but the monster seems to chase after the person with a lot of beads. This injury was caused at that time, so I immediately threw the other two after escaping."
These two are men who are nearly two meters tall and beef-like. Judging from their strong muscles, it is obvious that they have definitely experienced relevant training, but they are still in a state of embarrassment, which shows how miserable they are being chased by Henry. However, compared to Dong Zheng and Linhai, who were dying at the time, it was much better.
Dong Zheng: "We have two."
The man with glasses nodded: "Then wait for the others. When the time comes, everyone will enter the next map together, and it will be safer."
With Dong Zheng there, Dong Linhai was not needed to talk and play tricks, so he took the opportunity to observe these people silently. The only woman looked like she was in her twenties, with a high ponytail, dressed in sports clothes, and dressed very smartly. Her companions were a tall and thin man with glasses and a middle-aged man who had never spoken. He was plain and slightly bald, but Linhai was very familiar with his temperament—that's how the fat-headed financial director in Dad's company felt. .
Although these three people are walking together, the young woman and the Mediterranean seem to be together, they are very close, and they maintain a delicate distance from the glasses man.
It is estimated that the glasses men only met by chance on the road. Dong Linhai thought silently, looked at the other two big men, was caught by one of them with a beard, and received a fierce stare.
Dong Linhai immediately turned his face away and pretended that nothing had happened. Both of them were injured. The bearded left arm was tightly wrapped with bandages. No matter who it is, it will definitely be bad.
Of course, Dong Zheng also noticed the smell of gunpowder between Linhai and Beard, but he ignored it and exchanged information with others. The brawny man who walked with the bearded man said that they were caught up by the zombie knight shortly after escaping from the coffin, and had no choice but to throw the gold beads before they escaped. After that, the zombie probably turned around and headed towards Dong Zheng.
The men with glasses were more fortunate, and they did not encounter any fatal danger. They went through a puzzle in the middle and came here smoothly.
Dong Zheng shared the clues and information found in the ranger's hut. If you want to pass the box safely, you must pay attention to teamwork, and ignorance is definitely not the best way to pass the customs. Of course, he concealed the existence of Cui Zuojing and the drugs he was carrying, but he just said that he was lucky and never encountered a zombie knight along the way.
When a few people exchanged information, another person came over. The person who came was a red-haired young man. It was easy to see that he was a mixed race with a three-dimensional and deep face. There were a lot of freckles and a look of panic. Seeing the crowd in front of the banyan tree, he was visibly relieved, hurriedly ran over, and sat down.
"Oh hey, I'm exhausted..." Hong Mao shouted in a Beijing accent, took out a bottle of water from his bag, and drank most of it, barely suppressing the fear in his heart. He looked up, only to find that everyone was looking down at him.
"?" The red hair stared innocently at the blue eyes: "What are you doing?"
Man with glasses: "Do you have any gold beads on your body? There are four more to open the entrance to the next map."
"No, I lost it on the road." Hongmao replied simply.
Everyone exchanged glances, and they didn't quite believe it. It was more likely that Hong Mao had deliberately lost all the gold beads on his body in order not to be chased by the zombies.
Although when they first entered the box, they found a hint in the forest that they must obtain enough gold beads to pass the level, but in the face of danger enough to make people die without a place to be buried, the plot props and so on don't matter - in fact, The level of this box is not high, most of the participants are newcomers, and the most experienced glasses man has only experienced the box four times, not to mention the two brothers of the Dong family, who just entered the pure white world two days ago.
The woman with the tall ponytail said: "Then we can only wait, everyone, take a rest, I hope others can come over soon, the zombie still doesn't know where it is, we have four golden beads here, the goal is too big, The longer you stay, the more dangerous it is likely to be."
So everyone sat on the ground and entered the sheltered area of the banyan tree, but there was no sound around, even the annoying and terrifying roar of the crow disappeared without a trace, as if in this area supported by the branches of the banyan tree, all living beings cannot exist.
Everyone couldn't help but lowered their voices. When they first entered the box, there were 12 people in total. Now, there are eight of them, and there are four missing gold beads. Whether the people who came later can bring enough props is still unknown.
Everyone was sitting with their companions, and Hong Mao was alone. After looking around a few times, he saw two brothers who were about the same age as him. He cheekily ran to Dong Zheng and asked, "Hey buddy, I'll leave it here. Can you sit down?"
"Okay." Dong Zheng nodded. Originally, he was talking to Linhai about Cui Zuojing's return to the mark on his left hand, but he stopped talking now. Hongmao felt the stagnation of the atmosphere, scratched his hair, and almost said, "Then what, my name is Wang Ailun, this is the third time I have entered the box, you can call me Alan or Pharaoh."
"Dong Zheng, this is my younger brother, Dong Linhai." Dong Zheng asked, "Are you here alone?"
"Actually, when we separated from the coffin, I was with the other two people. Later, I went to relieve them and asked them to wait for me. Who knew that the two turtle grandchildren left directly." Allen said angrily. Fortunately, he still has some experience. , is also very daring, if a novice is alone in this foggy forest, and the crow calls the zombie to chase, it will definitely be scared half to death.
Lin Hai asked, "Don't you know those two people?"
Wang Ailun shook his head: "If you want to know each other, you won't leave me behind. I bumped into this box while walking on the street, and it's disguised as a restaurant. It's too insidious. I really envy you for coming here with someone you know, each other. There's still someone to take care of."
Lin Hai immediately said enthusiastically, "That's fine, you know us now, and we must be more successful together than alone."
[puff.]
Dong Zhengwu heard a snicker, he immediately tightened his body, and looked around cautiously.
Everyone else was doing their own thing, and the voices were more like directly in his head.
He frowned, and tentatively touched the back of his left hand.
