Chapter 36 Another heartbeat warning, the terrifying unknown Xilin
Chapter 36 Another heartbeat warning, the terrifying unknown Xilin
……
Sun Qian and his party crossed the bridge and were about to arrive in Xilin.
Wang Jian, with a dull expression, was holding a golden girlfriend in his left hand and a silver girlfriend in his right hand.
With gold in the left hand and silver in the right hand, he is more eye-catching than Bai Wan who is carrying a family portrait on his back.
"Xilin is just ahead." Sun Qian looked ahead at a seemingly ordinary forest.
After walking a few steps, everyone stopped in shock.
Boom boom boom!
Everyone's expression changed, and their hearts were beating violently at this moment.
This is... a heartbeat warning? ?
"Impossible... Why is there a heartbeat warning? Isn't entering Xilin the main plot?" Wang Jian was already a little overwhelmed while holding his two girlfriends. Now that he felt the heartbeat warning, he could no longer control his emotions.
The heartbeat warning proves that there is something strange in the forest that they cannot resist.
A heartbeat warning will only be triggered when something strange happens that is far more difficult than the dungeon.
But...it shouldn't be like this.
In theory, if you just follow the procedure, you shouldn't encounter a heartbeat warning.
"The heartbeat warning is relatively weak. It is estimated that there are terrifying things in this forest. But we don't need to contact it. After all, we just need to take back Gensokyo." Xu Bing analyzed calmly.
"That should be the case. According to the game process, the painting we stole was buried under a stone tablet in Xilin. We don't need to go deep into Xilin, so we may not encounter that kind of horrible weirdness." Sun Qian nodded, agreeing with Xu Bing.
But even so, everyone's faces still didn't look good.
Theory is theory, reality is practice.
Knowing that there is a very ferocious monster in Xilin, I still have to go in to look for the painting. The psychological pressure is quite small.
"The Letter" is indeed an unsolvable copy.
There are actually two places for heartbeat warning, which is outrageous.
Xu Bing has always been confident in herself, but after entering the copy, she has slowly lost confidence. Can she really survive?
"I asked the villagers before, and they said that the village has marked the trees on both sides of Xilin. You must follow the marks, otherwise you will get lost." Su Yuening had explored the village before and met the old man she met for the first time, so she gained this important information.
"Okay, let's go into the forest, it's getting late." Sun Qian looked at Wang Jian again and hesitated before saying, "Little brother... it's really inconvenient to hold these two girlfriends in your hands. How can you escape if you encounter something weird? How about leaving them outside the forest?"
Wang Jian had a depressed look on his face. He had previously chosen his girlfriend who was to be soaked and rotted, thinking that if he could return to reality, he would bury his girlfriend. However, he did not expect that the river god would not play by the rules. He just threw his girlfriend in gold and silver and left.
Seeing Wang Jian's expression, Sun Qian couldn't help but counsel him, "Little brother, you are still young. Don't hang yourself on a tree. That kind of cold-blooded woman is dead, so forget it. Listen to me, go back and sell these two girlfriends to the scrap collector to make some money back, and start over."
The price of gold is rising sharply now, maybe I can sell it for a good price.
I don’t know if Wang Jian had come to terms with it, but he left his two girlfriends next to the woods.
Then, everyone walked into Xilin together.
Bai Wan observed carefully and found that there were red ropes tied on the trees next to Xilin. They must be the road signs made by the villagers as Su Yuening said.
Apart from this, the deep forest in front of us is no different from an ordinary forest.
No... there is still a little difference.
The forest before me was so quiet, with only the sound of wind blowing leaves.
All the small animals inside disappeared. It is said that animals are intelligent and can sense danger more easily than humans. Now it seems to be true.
Everyone walked carefully and vigilantly in the West Forest, which was called the Strange Burial Forest.
Everyone inadvertently held tightly onto the life-saving items in their pockets, which were earned through hard work in previous copies.
Although Wang Jian did not get his girlfriend's body back, Luo Ya did not have time to use the skull before falling into the river, and the skull was left on the bridge. So he still had one last life-saving trump card, which was a blessing in disguise.
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone had to quicken their pace. They had to return to Lin Yuan's wooden cabin before ten o'clock in the evening, otherwise no one knew what would happen.
Suddenly, as we were walking, we heard movement ahead.
Everyone looked ahead with caution. No one in the village dared to come to this strange forest.
So...what's up ahead?
Sun Qian and the others held their breath and moved forward slowly.
After walking for a while, they couldn't help but feel nervous when they saw the scene in front of them.
I saw a ragged man chopping trees in the forest...
The most terrifying thing is that the man’s body is no longer intact, and part of his thigh is even exposed to the bone.
Bai Wan and others thought of the old woman that Sun Qian had mentioned before at the same time.
Her husband went up the mountain to chop firewood a few years ago, and never came down after entering Xilin.
The man in front of him was most likely the old lady's husband... and he had been dead for a year... During this year, he had been chopping wood here? ?
Really evil.
Sun Qian and others did not dare to breathe heavily and carefully walked around the corpse that was chopping wood.
Bai Wan's expression changed slightly as he looked at the man who was chopping wood. At this time, Su Yuening grabbed Bai Wan's hand, and her eyes contained a warning look, as if to say, no dancing.
Bai Wan felt a little regretful and also went around it with everyone else.
Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you and not jump!
In this way, everyone successfully passed the tree-cutting trick.
Maybe the monster didn't notice them, or maybe the monster's strange killing pattern wasn't triggered. In any case, everyone managed to escape.
But no one felt happy, they just felt their bodies getting colder and colder.
I encountered a ghost just at the beginning.
There shouldn't be only one person who died in all these years...
How many ghosts are there in this forest?
"Everyone be careful, follow the road signs, and don't go past unmarked trees, otherwise you may not be able to come back." Sun Qian reminded, suppressing his fear.
Everyone nodded, staring intently at the trees tied with red ropes in front of them, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
After walking for a while, everyone's faces turned happy as they saw a huge stone tablet in front of them.
"That must be where the painting is buried." Xu Bing, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
Fortunately, the place where the painting was buried was not far away. Otherwise, in such a terrifying forest, even if nothing strange happened, the psychological pressure would be too great.
Sun Qian and others hurried over and took out the prepared shovels from their backpacks.
This thing is very common in rural areas and is easy to get.
Holding shovels, everyone began to dig at a relatively new piece of soil. Lin Yuan's things should be buried underneath.
After digging for a while, they encountered some metal crops, and everyone looked delighted.
Found it!
Sun Qian was the first to open the metal box below.
There were a lot of money, jewelry and paintings inside.
Everyone checked one by one, looking for an unfinished work called Gensokyo.
Soon, everyone turned pale.
"How is that possible? There is no Gensokyo in there..." Su Yuening showed a look of astonishment.
The paintings inside are all completed works and have names. There is no painting called "Gensokyo".
"Hiss... Is the female ghost testing us... There is no such thing as Gensokyo at all." Sun Qian looked horrified.
Being tempted means that they have been exposed?
The female ghost already knew that they were not Lin Yuan...
