Chapter 281 Ticket No. 2
Chapter 281 Ticket No. 2
"Brother, are we going in?" asked the Crazy Lion.
Even in his opinion, this forest was too dangerous. There were all kinds of poisonous insects, some poisonous plants, extremely hidden swamps that would kill you if you stepped on them, wandering werewolves and singing girls. Any one of them could kill you.
So Crazy Lion felt that if he could enter this hunter camp, he would definitely feel a little more relaxed.
But Luo Xi shook his head.
"We're not going in!"
"Brother, I'll listen to you, but why don't you go in?"
"Comfort is also a disease, a self-paralyzing mental illness. I can see that the people inside are already terminally ill and incurable. They have forgotten their original purpose and that this place is just a checkpoint. They are afraid of losing their memories and try their best to avoid death. For the sake of so-called safety, they choose to escape. The result is that if they mix with a bunch of trash, they will become trash sooner or later."
"Brother, I don't understand."
"Then don't ask, just follow me."
When Luo Xi met the two hunters before, he had already sensed that something was wrong.
The other person is suffering from some kind of subtle mental illness.
The two hunters did not lie, because Luo Xi could tell the difference between lies, so this camp could indeed provide shelter and temporary safety, but there would be no clues about the boat tickets.
The key to passing through the fairytale town is the colorful fish river and the boat ticket.
"By the way, Crazy Lion, after you died and were reborn in the cemetery, did your [memories] be consumed?" Luo Xi remembered something and asked.
Crazy Lion scratched his head and said he couldn't remember how many [Memories] he had before.
"Brother, I seem to have never remembered this matter. Otherwise, I will remember it this time, and I will tell you when I die next time." The Crazy Lion looked sincere.
"Forget it. This matter is actually not important. Death must be avoided. It has nothing to do with whether it consumes [memory]. It is just because some memory will inevitably be lost, so death must be avoided. If it is just according to my idea, death in Fairy Tale Town will not consume [memory]. Because only this rule will make the memory collector relax their vigilance and regard death as something 'indifferent'. In addition, [memory] itself is to preserve memory. Therefore, since memory can be lost here, it means that it will not be consumed."
Luo Xi stared at the mad lion and felt like he had found a treasure.
This guy is a natural tool. If we talk about chess pieces, the Crazy Lion definitely belongs to the level of "chariot, horse, and cannon".
With the Mad Lion around, my plans can indeed be made a little wilder.
"Brother, I'll do whatever you say."
"I do have a plan that requires you to use all your strength, but it is dangerous and you may die."
"I'm not afraid of death, just follow my orders, big brother."
"I plan to capture a Little Red Riding Hood alive"
In the original story of "Little Red Riding Hood", the hunter's presence is actually very low, and this fairy tale has undergone several revisions in the beginning. It is said that the original version was a bit more bloody and desperate, that is, Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were not rescued by the hunter who used scissors and sword to break into the big bad wolf's belly.
But it was actually eaten.
The flavor of this plot is just right.
It also conforms to reality.
But a fairy tale is a fairy tale. Although from the moment you step into the "Fairy Tale Town", everything here is just the framework and shell of the original fairy tale, and the core is a dark version of a horror story, Luo Xi has always believed that the keyword "fairy tale" is very important.
Never ignore.
However, the people who had entered here before might have forgotten that this was a "fairy tale" town.
Take the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" for example. Naturally, the most important thing is "Little Red Riding Hood", so it would not be wrong to start with this character.
When Luo Xi was riding Doudou for a stroll before, he took note of the terrain of a part of the forest and met several "Little Red Riding Hoods" along the way.
However, it is definitely not an easy task to capture Little Red Riding Hood, who may turn into a wolf at any time, especially alive.
All factors must be considered in this matter.
Personal strength, timing, tactics and environment are all essential.
In terms of his own strength, Luo Xi alone was not enough, but now with the help of Kuang Shi, a melee maniac, he has reached the standard; as for the timing, Luo Xi has actually been observing the movement of the dark clouds above his head.
This is a fake world.
Including the moon and dark clouds.
Luo Xi even learned one thing from a previous hunter, that is, at least in this forest, there would never be a sunrise, it would always be dark.
This place can be called the 'Eternal Night Forest'.
Dark clouds covering the moon is a natural phenomenon and a random event that can be easily guessed. It is unpredictable. However, if it is applied to the premise of "man-made scenes", then the so-called natural phenomenon and random event will no longer hold true.
In other words, there must be a regularity in the dark clouds covering the moon.
Although Luo Xi has not yet figured out this pattern, that is only because he has only been here for a short time. If he is given a little more time, the possibility of him finding out this pattern is almost inevitable.
Then there is the 'capturing environment'.
Werewolves are extremely fast and powerful. Before, Doudou was able to shake off the werewolves by relying on her strong physical strength, but that doesn't mean she can gain an overwhelming advantage in a head-on battle against the werewolves.
Because werewolves have claws strong enough to tear bark easily, teeth strong enough to crush hard bones, and bite force.
Although the mad lion is very fierce, it is impossible for it to confront the werewolf head-on.
So if you want to defeat or even capture a werewolf alive, in addition to a certain level of combat power, you can only rely on the external terrain environment.
Luo Xi had already compared suitable locations for ambush, or areas where capture traps could be set, when he was riding Doudou to explore around.
The next step is to set traps, think about tactics, and make all preparations in advance. If you can find the pattern of dark clouds covering the moon in this process, then the chances of success of the plan can be directly increased to 90%.
This is already a conservative estimate for Luo Xi.
In the eyes of others, the forest was almost like a maze, but at this moment, Luo Xi felt like he had entered his own garden. He could even remember the characteristics of most of the trees he encountered along the way, so that he could quickly identify the location and route. "We're here."
At this time, Luo Xi walked to a hillside and looked around.
Not too far from here, there was a faint sound of singing.
A little red riding hood is wandering over there.
In addition, the terrain here is very suitable for setting traps. There is a valley below the hillside. If you dig a hole below in advance and cover it with branches and loose soil, it will be difficult to find because there are dense bushes on both sides. If you lead Little Red Riding Hood here and enter from the other side, one person will act as bait in front, and the other will take the opportunity to use some rocks and huge trees to block the retreat, which is equivalent to leading the werewolf into a "long cage" that is narrow and inconvenient for it to move.
Once this step is achieved, one foot is already in the door to a successful capture.
Just as Luo Xi was about to take a look at this place and think about how to set the trap, he discovered that the soil below was not right.
He immediately grabbed the mad lion.
Then he asked the other party to pick up a large rock nearby and throw it towards an area where the soil was obviously different in color from the surrounding ground.
As the stone fell, there was a loud bang and the area collapsed directly.
It's a trap.
Below you can see densely packed sharp wooden spikes. If you fall down, your body will be pierced immediately and you will be trapped inside.
A normal person would surely die if he fell down.
But the size of this trap is obviously too huge if it was prepared for an ordinary person.
Suddenly, the mad lion stepped forward and stood behind Luo Xi.
At the same time, an arrow flew over and pierced the mad lion's arm.
Then came the second arrow, and the third.
There was something wrapped around the mad lion's hand, and although the flying arrows pierced through this layer of protection, this little injury was almost nothing to him.
"Brother, someone is attacking us"
"Catch them alive."
With an order given, the mad lion pounced towards a location that was obviously most suitable for Tibetans.
Then came the sounds of fighting, the cracking of branches and shouting.
When Luo Xi walked over, the battle was over.
There was a person lying on the ground, with blood at the corners of his mouth. His arm was obviously broken and the bones were sticking out. It was a horrible sight.
Next to it, there was a crossbow scattered around.
There was another person who was being strangled by the lion by the neck, and he was caught alive.
"Be quiet!" The mad lion used force with his fingers, and the man was nearly strangled to death.
"Don't get yourself killed."
"Don't worry, big brother. I have a plan." Kuangshi thought about it, then punched the man, breaking his leg.
"I asked you to pounce again. Come on, pounce again and let me see," the mad lion cursed in a hoarse voice.
When Luo Xi saw all this, there were only four words in his mind.
What a fierce general!
At this moment, there was an arrow stuck in the mad lion's forearm, which was as thick as an ordinary person's thigh.
This guy pulled it out without any care.
"Give me the arrow!"
Luo Xi took it, looked at it, and wiped the blood off it.
Silver arrowhead.
Now Luo Xi understood.
He glanced at the man with a broken leg on the ground.
"I'm sorry, we didn't know you were also going to hunt Little Red Riding Hood here. Originally, we had the same goal and maybe we could have become friends, but given the current situation, I don't think you would let it go even if we agreed to shake hands and make peace."
Luo Xi always spoke from a practical perspective. Of the two, Crazy Lion went straight up and killed one of them, and also broke the leg of the other one.
It can be considered as a feud.
In this case, even if they said they were willing to cooperate, Luo Xi would not believe it.
Then there is only one way to go, until the end.
Interrogate first.
See what you can pry out of this guy.
Luo Xi is very good at this. He always sets questions with multiple traps and judges the answers based on the other party's answers, reactions and micro-expressions.
Even if the other party lies intentionally, Luo Xi can direct this malicious lie to the result he needs.
Ten minutes later.
Luo Xi got the answer he wanted and sent the man back to the cemetery with a single knife.
"It turns out that if you capture Little Red Riding Hood, or any werewolf, you can exchange it for Ship Ticket No. 2 from the Forest Merchant. Sure enough, apart from those cowards who just want to get by, there are still some normal players in this place."
