Hearing this, the others also reacted and spoke one after another, each buying a sledge knife.

There was no other information on the hunter's side. After everyone left, Yu Yueming asked for his questions.

"I didn't have time to ask before, do you have the money for this place?"

"Some, some." Qi Yuanze answered his words, "It was brought by himself after the game started, and it costs 1,000 yuan. Everyone seems to be the same. It should be prepared by the game for each character."

“…but I don’t.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuanze looked at him with a strange look.

"Although, dogs can't use money, right?"

Yu Yueming: Damn it! Do you still look down on dogs in this broken game? Have you ever seen a dog with a basket in his mouth?!

Following Lin Qiushuang's instructions, the three of them quickly bought all kinds of items: hiking poles, portable water and some tools that they might use for outdoor exploration. At the same time, they found various blessing cards in the village shops.

The custom of praying here is that lovers hang a blessing card together. The couple picked a blessing card that "forever unity" and Qi Yuanze picked a blessing card that "health and longevity" blessing card, which made the painting look a bit out of place.

While shopping, Yu Yueming took the time to test it several times again, confirming that the villagers in the village really couldn't understand their words, and their voice was just ordinary barking in their ears.

Along the way, he noticed another detail - the small number of young and middle-aged people in this village, and most of the villagers are elderly and young children. But considering the trend of hollowing out the countryside, this point is at most a bit eye-catching, and it is not a strange thing.

After quickly solving the lunch and confirming that there were no missing items, the group walked towards the forest under Lin Qiushuang's leadership.

Although it is a remote village, because there are attractions mainly used by local tourism owners in the mountains, and unlike the roads in the village, the roads up the mountain are repaired very regularly. A row of flat stone steps spread deep into the forest. Street lights and signs are also set up around it, which is very considerate to tourists.

"I said... Is this okay?" Wang Ruihao looked at the villages that were getting farther and farther away, and hesitated. "There is no time for the task, so isn't it better to ask more news? Is it necessary to be so anxious?"

Lin Qiushuang continued to rush forward without looking back, but still answered his question seriously.

"In my experience, there is no need to ask any more. You may think it takes a lot of questions to ask around, but in fact, the dungeon is more like..." She thought about the words, "Game. Yes, game. Of course, this is not as rigid as the game. However, the dungeon often provides clues to point us in the next direction of exploration."

Qi Yuanze asked curiously: "Simply put, it is like finding password notes recorded with secret numbers, diaries containing key information, secret letters, etc., aren't there anything that few people can write in reality?"

"It's not so straightforward. Take this example as an example. There are quite a few people in this village. Since our only clue was the client at the beginning, she only mentioned the village chief and the hunter, then looking for others should not be able to get more useful clues. More advanced dungeons will be more complicated, but the primary dungeons are generally like this.

"However, although the dungeon will provide clues to narrow the scope of our investigation, the relevant NPCs may still deceive us or hide key information, which requires us to make our own judgment. Generally speaking, the novices dungeon will not be too complicated."

But you said before that the task of this novice copy was not right... Yu Yueming silently complained in his heart.

As soon as he thought of this, the other party explained.

"It is important that almost all dungeons will have a higher difficulty over time. Although novices' dungeons usually leave enough reaction time for novices, this dungeon is a bit strange. What's more, that village doesn't look very safe, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."

Hearing her mention of this, the voices of objection remained silent.

It took more than ten minutes to arrive at the camping site in the mountains.

There was no one here, only some untied tents and debris were scattered around. It seems that the previous disappearance case had a significant negative impact on the tourism industry here.

After a brief observation and confirming that there were no useful clues in the camp, Lin Qiushuang took out the information and showed it to everyone: "The information says that the last trace of the missing person discovered by the search and rescue team was on the way down the mountain. It has not rained heavily these days, so some clues should be left behind. Let's go to the location of the sacred tree first and then go back to investigate. Although everyone has different tasks, for safety reasons, try not to separate."

She pointed to the map and explained the route: Because the road here is rugged and narrow, there are two roads in the mountains, and the routes up and down are separated to prevent tourists from encountering difficulties in the front.

Lin Qiushuang carefully found a place to put some larger and relatively less important luggage at the campsite, and then led the team to the road up the mountain.

"This road is very difficult... Sister Lin, will the missing person in your mission accidentally fall down?"

With the help of her boyfriend, Xu Ya struggled to climb a stair with a very high drop, and asked panting.

"It's hard to say. The guardrail here is actually quite solid and not as dangerous as it looks." Lin Qiushuang pushed the guardrail next to her, "Even if the cause is indeed the case, other changes must have occurred in the future, otherwise the previous search and rescue team would not have been unable to find anyone."

Qi Yuanze leaned his head and looked at the situation outside the road, sighing: "If you come here at this time, you will have no place to hide..."

"Stop it." Yu Yueming cut off his words, "Do you have to plant a flag under this situation?"

"OKOK, I won't say it anymore." Qi Yuanze responded readily and changed the topic, "But what monsters are there in this kind of copy? Ghosts? Zombies? Monsters? Or demons, vampires, werewolfs, etc."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Qiushuang, who led the team, was silent for a moment and spoke in a disgusting tone.

"It is an even more indescribable, ugly, disgusting existence."

——

While talking, the group climbed over the difficult mountain road and reached a gentle slope. Not far ahead, you can clearly see a giant tree standing by the mountain. Countless wooden signs with red spikes hanging down from the lower layer of the canopy of the giant tree, which looks very spectacular.

Yu Yueming couldn't help but sigh.

"It's like a red lantern hanging, it looks so festive."

Unexpectedly, Lin Qiushuang glanced at him strangely.

"Can you tell it's red?"

"Hmm?" Yu Yueming turned his head strangely, "Isn't this taken for granted? Why..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly understood the other party’s question.

Yes, the dog should be red and green blind, why can he tell the red?

Yu Yueming hesitated to guess what was happening on his body, and the three people with tasks had already walked to the sacred tree one by one.

The height of this tree is not an exaggeration, it is only about two floors. However, its main trunk diameter is estimated to be about ten meters, and its branches and leaves spread to all sides, occupying nearly the size of a basketball court, showing a sense of oppression that covers the sky and the sun.

Yu Yueming could not recognize the species of this tree. The trunk of this sacred tree was not a single trunk, but was twisted and wound by countless vines-like structures. Its crown was composed of countless dense branches, covered with layers of dense leaves, and countless aerial root-like vines hanging from the branches. These characteristics did not conform to any tree he knew.

On the side, Qi Yuanze had already taken the lead in hanging up the blessing sign. The couple saw that he had completed the movement safely and soundly, and then followed his route tremblingly and completed his mission.

After doing this, Qi Yuanze stared at the air in front of him for a while and looked at Lin Qiushuang.

“My mission has been updated.
