Chapter 422 Outside the Well

Chapter 422 Outside the Well
At the mouth of the well, there is a scholar with a bun on his head.

With an anxious look on his face, he pulled the rope hard, trying to pull Su Ming and the others out from the bottom of the well.

However, his body was somewhat stiff.

It took quite a bit of effort to grab the rope.

But when he tried to pull the rope up, he found that he didn't have enough strength.

He didn't even pull up the group of people falling below.

His face became increasingly anxious, and he looked around, as if looking for other people passing by.

But, I didn't see it at all.

He could only shout into the well: "Everyone wait a moment! I'll go get some help!"

"No, we can come up."

The strong man at the top has already climbed out of the well.

Then, he pulled the rope behind him hard, tensed all his muscles, and exerted force violently.

The group of people below were pulled up by him.

He is best at this kind of thing that requires strength.

He once calculated that if he had this much strength before the horror game came out, he could earn hundreds of thousands a month by moving bricks at a construction site.

If I start a live broadcast or something, I can use this ability to become an internet celebrity and achieve financial freedom.

The players and villagers below were all pulled out of the well.

At this time, the black water below had almost submerged the wellhead.

"Woo woo woo..." The strange face was twisted inside, but it could no longer affect them who had already reached the shore.

Seeing this, the scholar's eyes widened, and he clasped his hands in admiration: "This warrior is truly born with supernatural strength, and his arm strength is amazing. He was able to pull so many people up by himself, it's amazing! I admire you!"

The powerful man said politely: "We should thank this scholar for helping us open the manhole cover, otherwise we would have drowned here."

He looked at the scholar in front of him, who was somewhat similar to the scholar he had seen in Xianju before.

However, it can be clearly seen that they are not the same person.

They look about 70% similar, but their temperaments are completely different.

It turned out that the guy in Xianju had a sense of arrogance in his bones, as if he was going to pass the imperial examination tomorrow and become a high-ranking official the day after tomorrow.

The scholar in front of me seemed much more approachable.

The scholar frowned and asked, "Where are you from? Why are you in this well?"

Faced with these two problems, they didn't know how to explain them.

It was Su Ming who spoke up and answered, "We are originally villagers of Qingshou Village, but we offended four weird Taoists."

"They threatened to drown us, but we weren't too worried at the time. But when we woke up, we were in this well."

"I guess they used some evil method to get us here."

When the scholar heard this, he believed it immediately.

There was a hint of anger on his face: "Where did this evil Taoist come from? How could he do such a thing that takes human life lightly?"

"This well water is also used by the nearby villagers. If the water is polluted and you drink it, you will get sick!"

"I will definitely report this to the authorities and ask them to take good care of this matter."

However, now that we are here, we still have to get things done.

The scholar carried a wooden bucket to the well, put the bucket down, and drew up a bucket of dark water from below.

However, he was completely unaware of this and continued to praise: "This well water is not ordinary. It is said to be separated from a nearby mountain spring. The water is particularly clear and has a sweet aftertaste."

As he spoke, he used a ladle to scoop up half a ladle of black water, put it to his mouth, and drank it down in gulps.

"Comfortable! This is how it feels!"

"Would you like to have a few sips?" The Li Shi's face twitched. He couldn't eat this stuff unless he was almost dying of thirst.

Being able to do such a thing shows that he is not normal.

Yes, this is the ninth floor of the Dragon Locking Tower. How could there be an ordinary and completely harmless scholar appearing in there?

You must be careful and cautious enough.

On the surface, he didn't seem to have any special reaction, but in fact, his vigilance was becoming more and more intense.

Looking around, there are mountains, clouds, and waterfalls in the distance.

However, these landscapes seem to be painted on paintings and pasted on the surrounding walls.

In fact, the only things here are this well and this scholar in front of you.

From a visual perspective, the area here is only the size of a room, about 20 to 30 square meters.

With so many people crammed in here, it's already a bit cramped. The area here is several times smaller than the previous floor.

The scholar invited him: "My home is not far from here. If you don't mind, why don't you come to my house and rest for a while?"

Su Ming nodded: "Sorry to bother you then."

The scholar laughed and said, "Haha! What's the bother?"

“It is one of the greatest joys in life to have friends coming from afar.”

"Come with me!"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding scenery changed.

The paintings on the surrounding walls changed from mountains, clouds and waterfalls to fences, thatched huts, chickens and ducks.

The place where the well was located in the room was replaced by a round wooden table with several benches placed around it.

"Come! Come! Everyone, please take a seat!"

"Although the journey is not far, the road is bumpy and very strenuous. I'm sure you are all exhausted. Now we are finally here, let's take a rest!"

Except for Su Ming, the other three players all wanted to complain.

It will be here in a blink of an eye, so how can I feel tired?
However, just as they were about to speak, they suddenly felt their muscles becoming sore and their legs becoming uncontrollable.

It was as if I had really gone through a long journey and exhausted all my strength.

What's happening here?
I have been through many horror copies and seen all kinds of strange things.

But this was the first time that Lux had experienced something like what was happening right now.

The wrestler looked at the audience and those with their eyes closed, and saw the surprise in their eyes.

Since they can skip the haste of traveling and let fatigue be imposed directly on them.

What if something dangerous happens in the middle, will I be injured or even die?
If this is the case, I really don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

From an optimistic point of view, it means dying directly and painlessly.

But at the same time, there is no room for resistance or maneuver, and you just die directly. It's really frustrating.

"Sir, who are these people?"

A woman in a white dress walked out of the thatched hut on the wall.

After seeing Su Ming and the others, her face darkened, but she still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Are these your friends? How come I have never seen them before?"

The scholar smiled and said, "Oh, I met them when I went to the well to fetch water."

"They were trapped in the well by some villains. After I rescued them, I invited them to come and sit with me."

Then, he introduced the woman in the white dress to Su Ming and the others: "This is my wife, Bai. We got married three months ago."

"In order to allow me to study with peace of mind, my wife helps me take care of many household affairs. My wife is a great cook, so you are in for a treat~"

Bai: "In that case, I will go and help you guys cook a few side dishes."
