Chapter 126 It’s really hard to cheat
The shape of the coastal part of the Casa Peninsula is rather strange. It looks a bit like a bloody tooth, with the left and right sides extending out a little, thus forming a small bay.
On the other side of the bay, Li Miao could clearly see that there was also a channel between it and the dark border, which seemed to be the path that Leti took.
As for the front of the Casa Peninsula, it corresponds to a dark border that is tightly shrouded, and it is unknown what is hidden inside.
The sky was gloomy and dark.
The air seemed to be filled with the dust of familiar ghosts, making people feel cold and lonely, and even a little scared.
It seems that there is no living person in the entire Casa Peninsula...
Li Miao, wearing the heavy armor of the Law Knight, holding a lance and a large shield, slowly advanced on the road of the Casa Peninsula.
It's not that he didn't encounter monsters on the way forward. On the contrary, there were quite a few of them, and they often launched sudden attacks from corners and dark places.
However, most of them are ghosts or something like that, and their strength is relatively weak, so Li Miao can deal with them easily.
laugh!
The Frost Lance thrust out again, and the tip of the lance burning with flames pierced through the body of a ghost, filling the air with icy mist.
[You killed the wandering ghost]
[Obtained: Wax Oil × 4]
After killing the monsters blocking his way, Li Miao stepped into this building that looked somewhat special.
This seemed to be a simple prayer room, with faint sounds of prayers coming from inside. This was also the reason why Li Miao came here.
After entering the building, he also saw the situation inside clearly.
A group of ghosts with translucent bodies knelt on the ground, chanting prayers devoutly, as if asking for forgiveness.
However, the leader's style is completely different.
It's not a ghost.
This is a monster with dark brown skin, a hideous face, strong limbs, fangs and vertical pupils. It seems that it has long been accustomed to crawling on the ground on all fours.
[Soul Eater's Throat]
[Rank: Embers]
【Level: 19】
[Talent: Soul-tearing fangs]
[Skills: Soul as a Pawn, Tearing Claws, Corpse-eating Tongue, Devouring Ghosts]
[Explanation: A monster that likes to eat ghosts. It can also eat corpses. It is not picky about food. It often appears with various natural disasters, but it usually has no interest in praying with ghosts.]
What is extremely outrageous is that such a monster that specializes in eating ghosts is actually praying with a group of ghosts in this building at this time.
It's like a weasel bringing a chicken to pay New Year's greetings, which gives an indescribable weird feeling.
The noise made by Li Miao coming in was quite loud, at least anyone with normal hearing would have heard it.
But both the Soul-Eating Maw and the ghost behind it seemed to be unaware of it, or they saw it but didn't want to pay attention and continued to pray devoutly.
This made Li Miao feel a little confused.
"Why are these monsters ignoring me?" Li Miao was a little confused. He walked forward and waved his hand in front of a ghost: "Can't they see me?"
"Roar!"
Li Miao's greeting seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest. All the ghosts around and the Soul Eater above fixed their eyes on him in an instant.
"Roar!"
The Soul Eater Maw let out an angry roar, then reached out and grabbed a ghost next to it, put it in its mouth, and began chewing it with big mouthfuls, making a sound like a normal person biting tough leather.
Weren't you guys getting along just now? Why are you suddenly treating me like a snack?
Li Miao complained in his heart, then he raised the frost lance in his hand, and a blazing flame of war ignited on his body...
After a while.
[You killed the Soul Eater Maw]
[You killed the praying ghost]
[You killed the Praying Ghost]
[Obtained: Wax Oil × 32]
【…】
An Embers-grade monster with a group of Ashes-grade monsters was certainly no match for Li Miao, who had reached the Slag-grade, and they quickly slaughtered all the monsters in the prayer room.
If the other side didn't have more people and more power, Li Miao wouldn't even need so much time.
After killing the Soul Eater Maw and its minions, nothing useful was dropped. The Soul Eater Maw was even more stingy and only gave wax oil.
Li Miao began to search the prayer room, but still found nothing.
This made Li Miao frown, and he finally gave up after searching in vain.
Weird, there's not even a text message or anything, this doesn't make sense...
Could it be that the most useful thing he got from this was that the Soul Eater Maw and the ghosts could live in peace?
This is really ridiculous...
Li Miao's mouth twitched and he chose to move on.
However, after thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he went to the side, climbed onto the roof in two or three steps, found a relatively high place, and began to observe the entire Casa Peninsula.
Then he roughly observed the general situation inside the Casa Peninsula.
This peninsula is indeed very large, and the uneven houses and buildings appear very messy, completely incomparable to the orderly coastal town.
In the middle of the Casa Peninsula, there is a very obvious burnt ruin, as if a large-scale fire had occurred.
Behind the ruins is the tallest and largest city wall with a tightly closed gate. It seems to be the most important place in the entire peninsula.
Since there is a relatively wide avenue in the center, he can still divide the entire peninsula based on this.
After taking in all these situations, Li Miao became thoughtful.
Soon, he continued to move forward.
The guidance of the spirit candle appeared again.
After lighting the milestone candle, Li Miao walked for a while, then suddenly stopped and half squatted down.
On the ground, a row of red words appeared in Li Miao's sight.
[Don't go to the well in the middle of the ruins! ]
【——Leti】
The red text seemed to have been left with something similar to charcoal, the traces were almost the same except for the color.
Don't go to the well in the center of the ruins?
What do you mean?
What the hell is this guy doing?
Li Miao looked around suspiciously, but found nothing.
Li Miao didn't trust Leti very much. Now that he left a message here, he could almost conclude that Leti had ulterior motives.
but.
Li Miao must go to this central well.
It's impossible for him to be so scared by a word from an NPC that he doesn't even dare to explore the map.
The only thing that makes people curious is whether this guy Leti wants him to go or not?
Forget it, you’ll know when you go there.
Li Miao didn't think any more about it. As a player, the thing he feared least was death.
If there hadn't been a precedent of a player suffering heavy losses after being taken away by the clay jar people, he wouldn't have thought about this problem.
……
After Li Miao cleared a large number of small monsters and elite monsters, he finally entered the central ruins.
This place seemed to have been burned by a fire, with charred ruins everywhere, but there was no corpse to be seen.
He searched all the way and encountered many low-level or ash-level ghosts, but he solved or avoided them one by one.
As he went deeper, the number of monsters he encountered decreased rapidly.
In the end, Li Miao discovered that there was not a single ghost around.
His gaze suddenly stopped and fell on one place. In the open area in the center of the fire ruins, there was a well!
It seems that this is most likely the well mentioned in the advice book.
Perhaps the ghost-filled situation on the Casa Peninsula today is also caused by it?
Some thoughts flashed through Li Miao's mind, but he quickly put them aside and began to observe his surroundings.
The surrounding fire ruins seemed very peaceful. Even ghosts did not appear here. It seemed that there was no danger.
I didn't see Leti either.
Li Miao did not rush forward, but waited quietly for a moment and observed quietly.
But just as he was observing carefully, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
"Mr. Wei, why are you here?"
Leti walked out with his arms folded, covered in scars and blood, and asked in a low voice.
He obviously mistook the name "Brother Wei" for Li Miao's real name, so it sounded very strange.
"I told you not to come here. There's a very scary guy here. We are no match for him!"
"Take this, and you should be able to avoid that guy."
As he spoke, Leti handed something to Li Miao.
Li Miao frowned slightly, took the thing and paused for a moment, then his eyes suddenly became dangerous.
[Obtained: Monster-Attracting Incense Block × 1]
【Monster-attracting Incense Block】
[Type: Special Items]
[Effect: The smell emitted has a fatal attraction to monsters that have lost their minds.]
【Description: What material is it made of? 】
When Li Miao saw the information in the thing that Leti handed to him, he immediately narrowed his eyes.
"Leti, you said this thing can be used to avoid monsters?"
"Yes." Leti nodded. Seeing Li Miao's expression, he said anxiously, "Take it and go quickly. By the way, don't go into the well. There..."
puff!
The frost lance burning with flames of war pierced Leti's chest, causing the latter to stop talking instantly.
The next moment, Leti's expression froze, and his figure began to turn into ashes and disappear.
Li Miao snorted coldly and retracted his lance.
This guy actually treated him like a fool.
It was clearly a thing that attracted monsters, but he actually said it was used to avoid monsters. It was obvious that he wanted to harm him.
What Niu Niu said is really right, some NPCs need to be dealt with harshly with weapons.
Li Miao took back his lance.
Although he didn't know what kind of NPC this Leti was, he felt regretful that after killing him, nothing dropped.
Is it because the game doesn't want players to kill NPCs?
Or, the game was originally intended to let this NPC follow the plot, so there was no design for it?
Li Miao felt that it was very likely because the game world was too open. Players could theoretically make an infinite number of choices when faced with the same event, and the degree of freedom was very high.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.
This seems to be an NPC in the dynamic plot, right? Will killing him affect the subsequent major events and plot development?
Thinking of this, Li Miao even felt a little regretful. He should have spared his life and waited to see what he wanted to do.
Anyway, he can be resurrected infinitely after death, but this NPC may not be...
However, just as Li Miao was thinking.
A faint shout suddenly came from the well.
"Help... help me..."
It sounded like a little child's voice.
Li Miao was a little surprised, but then he put his thoughts aside, looked around, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked forward carefully and came to the well.
This time, the sound became clearer. There was indeed someone shouting for help coming from the bottom of the well.
Are there any other plot characters?
Doubts just arose in Li Miao's mind.
Then, the ground suddenly shook violently, and at the same time, another monster-attracting incense block fell at his feet.
However, Li Miao did not notice this. He only saw the monster coming from the front.
【Giant Arm Scavenger】
[Rank: Slag]
【Level: 21】
[Talent: Strong Arms]
[Skills: Clearing the Way with Two Arms, Sweeping with Giant Arms, Smashing the Ground with Giant Palms, Strong Shield]
[Explanation: This giant beast is used by some powerful people to sweep away filth. Its strong arms are its strongest protection.]
Rumble!
The giant-armed scavenger's arms rushed towards Li Miao like a bulldozer.
Li Miao subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, but suddenly found that there was also a giant-armed scavenger behind him!
Attack from both sides!
No.
Li Miao soon discovered that not only the front and back, but also his left and right were filled with giant-armed scavengers, all attacking Li Miao at the same time.
Besieged on all sides!
"Big brother up there, come down quickly!"
At this moment, a childish, anxious reminder came from the well.
Want to go down?
In this situation, Li Miao's brain was working rapidly. After thinking for a moment, he did not listen to the voice in the well, but raised the great shield of the Law Knight, with flames of war burning, ready to try to block the next attack.
Of course, this would definitely mean that Li Miao would be vulnerable to attack from behind and from the sides.
But even so, he still did not choose to go down the well, because no one knew what was in the well, and he didn't know whether he should believe the childish voice, so it was not appropriate to go down rashly.
However, it turned out that he had no choice under such circumstances.
when--
Bang!
Two short sounds rang out in succession.
Although Li Miao seized the best opportunity and raised his shield to block the oncoming giant-armed scavenger.
But the three giant-armed scavengers behind him interrupted him directly, waved their big hands to grab him before he could react, and threw him into the well.
"Fuck."
"what--"
The screams became quieter and quieter, and finally stopped with a bang.
After throwing Li Miao in, the giant-armed scavenger that threw him regained clarity in his eyes, and quickly competed with the other three giant-armed scavengers for the monster-attracting incense on the ground.
From the shadow of the ruins, Leti's figure slowly walked out, breathing a sigh of relief.
"He's not willing to go down yet. This kid is really hard to deceive. It took me so much effort."
Leti took a look at the well and was amazed.
Then his expression suddenly became dissatisfied.
"How do you talk? Never mind whether his methods are rough or not. Just say whether he has gone down the well or not!"
After some idle chat.
The corners of his mouth suddenly raised again.
"Indeed, those gullible firewood pickers can't be compared with these guys."
…I’m so ashamed, I’m stuck again. My work and rest schedule has been a bit off lately. I’ll adjust it and see if I can get back on track tomorrow.
