Chapter 35: hot spring
But it was clean and there was no blood on it. It must be fake, Shen Qingcheng thought distractedly.
Clang—
The hook flew out of the little girl's hand.
The little girl's complexion suddenly changed, she cried out angrily, her voice was still unpleasant.
Lu Qi's expression was indifferent, not because the NPC in front of him was a little girl, so he was soft.
Lu Qi's expression changed.
The strength of the black blade is so strong The same dented in.
The little girl giggled, "Come kill me, come kill me"
Shen Qingcheng moved to Lu Qi in small steps, "Brother Lu, where is the token of love I gave you?"
Lu Qi's movements stiffened for a moment, due to the urgency of time, "in the clothes bag."
"Brother Lu, come on, don't let her run away." Shen Qingcheng said first, then went to touch Lu Qi's clothes bag.
Lu Qi: "...can't run."
Indeed, although the little girl was not injured by this knife, but because of the pressure on her shoulders, she could not stop the bullet. Trembling slightly.
"Found."
The little girl felt a shudder for the first time, and the twisted runes and circular patterns seemed to hide a great fear, which made her tremble.
So when Shen Qingcheng approached with a sword, she struggled fiercely, "What are you doing! What are you doing! Big bear!"
The little girl screamed, "You two to one, bully the little child!"
"Chuck." Shen Qingcheng laughed, are you really telling me to be fair? The sword under his hand stabbed into his heart without hesitation.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Three screams came from the wound of the small sword.
The skin around the wound was scorched to the sides, and three long-beaked birds with five-colored feathers flew out of the little girl's body.
The little girl's body quickly became shriveled without a support, and a piece of human skin fell off from Lu Qi's knife.
Several multicolored long-beaked birds flew very fast, and when they regained their freedom, they swung their wings and swooped down to pick up the skins on the ground, shouting "help", "help", and blinked It flew out of the window and disappeared.
The corridor returned to silence in an instant, and the abandoned hook turned into a multicolored feather lying on the carpeted floor.
The two did not intend to chase, Shen Qingcheng bent over to pick up the feathers, twisted the roots and turned, "I guessed it was a bird, but I didn't guess it would be three birds."
I never guessed that it would be a little girl disguised as a faceless ghost.
The little girl is not a faceless ghost, that's for sure.
Lu Qi put away the knife, "that sword?"
Shen Qingcheng: "Yes, our token of love!"
What? Of course socialist brotherhood!
The man who wanted to ask about the rune was silent.
At this time, the small attic on the second floor of the low building deep in the castle.
The fire glowed red.
I saw her red lips parted lightly, and a shrill voice came out of her mouth, "What an idiot, a few humans can make you so embarrassed."
The big bird circling above the room cried:
"Not one!"
"It's two!"
"Bullying kids!"
The woman sneered, "I think you are too busy, and you run to provoke those humans now that you know they can't be killed."
Three colorful birds are angry, they just love to make fun of humans!
They landed on a man's shoulders and bounced:
"Brother Tu!"
"Let that woman kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Let's wear the original one first."
The three birds cried mournfully, "Woooooo, I need to wear new clothes! I need to wear new clothes!"
Looking at the talkative man, he said, "You can't touch them before the dance. Also, don't go out alone when the big bear is not around. You are too impulsive."
The fifth day of the Masquerade dungeon, the weather is cloudy.
It was another cold and dark day.
The little girl who put on the old dress is in a particularly bad mood today. She is in a bad mood, and others can't be better.
She had a gloomy face, and she had already thought about how to frighten this group of humans when she arrived in the hall later.
The group of humans in the hall had already arrived, she stepped forward and opened her mouth.
"Lu Qi, look at me."
Shen Qingcheng had a black woolen hat on his head today. The black color made his complexion very white. He shook his head from side to side, motioning Lu Qi to look at the hat on his head.
There is a feather on the black beanie hat. The feather has five colors, and it flashes with the light.
Shen Qingcheng: "Does it look good?"
"Ah!" I forgot all the lyrics I had planned, and the little girl rushed into the hall angrily, "That's mine! That's mine!"
Shen Qingcheng hid behind the man with a frightened look, stuck his head out, "This is obviously Toba, how could it be yours?"
Then he seemed to notice the skirt on the little girl, surprised, "Why didn't you wear a new skirt today?"
"Ah ah ah!" The little girl was about to get mad and yelled, "Big Bear, catch him! Catch him!"
"I'm going to make him new clothes! New clothes!"
Lu Qi took a step forward quietly, ready for battle.
Other players retreated silently. Those who have seen the strength of the big bear would not dare to confront him.
The red faceless ghost didn't appear last night, the player who heard the sound of smashing the window before was still alive, he glanced at Shen Meiren hesitantly.
Forget it, he was protected by Lu Qi, and I couldn't help, so I stayed away in silence.
The big bear didn't listen to the little girl, he stood behind the little girl and said in a loud voice: "Today it's time to go to the back mountain."
The little girl seemed to be reminded of something, took a few deep breaths to suppress her anger, she looked at Shen Qingcheng gloomily, "You will be mine sooner or later!"
Shen Qingcheng immediately asked Lu Qi, "Brother Lu, she said I belonged to her, do you agree?"
Lu Qi: "…"
There is a key point mentioned in the big bear's words, Houshan.
They seem to be going to the back mountain today. I don’t know what the back mountain is used for.
During breakfast, the little girl didn't leave or sing, so she observed each player one by one with cold and coveted eyes, especially Shen Qingcheng who stayed the longest.
Players were stared at with chills on their backs. They had been hungry for a day yesterday. Today, a few players could not stand it and planned to eat two bites.
The reason they persuaded themselves was that there was no roast suckling pig on the table, so it was not considered to have eaten human flesh, and the little girl was staring at it.
The little girl didn't care about this, as if it wasn't her who was watching every player eating food a few days ago.
The players sat abruptly in the lobby until the end of the breakfast time, and when the little girl announced "going to the back mountain", their bodies were a little stiff.
It is still the servants in uniform black and white costumes who take the players to the back mountain.
The number of players is now 11, and they have 11 servants divided into two teams, escorting the prisoners to follow the two sides of the team in the same way.
The snow in the mountains has not yet melted, and the towering trees obscured the sky even darker. Only the "rustle" of the players stepping on the snow and the sound of animals moving on the trees can be heard around.
Shen Qingcheng has a deep foot and a shallow foot, his sense of balance is not very good, and now he has to pay attention to whether a hand will suddenly reach out to trip him, and he will walk more slowly.
As soon as he slows down, the servants behind him stare at him with two dull eyes.
To be honest, if the little sword wasn't on him, Shen Qingcheng would have scratched the skin of the opponent's body to see what was hidden underneath.
This road is not the one where Shen Qingcheng and Lu Qi often go out for food, neither of them are quite sure where it is.
After almost an hour, the person in front finally stopped.
Shen Qingcheng supported Lu Qi's arm to stabilize his body, and stretched his neck to see, "There seems to be smoke?
The player in front silently took two steps forward, and this Shen Meiren was too open-mouthed.
"It's a hot spring," Lu Qi explained with a faint smog in the air, "the more you go inside, the higher the humidity and temperature."
Shen Qingcheng: "Huh?" He flashed his hands against himself, well, I didn't feel the temperature or humidity.
He thought for a while, "Sure enough, we have to fatten and kill pigs. After killing pigs in our hometown, we have to scald the skin with boiling water. Do they think we are too many to boil water? ?"
Lu Qi: "…"
A dozen hot springs with a diameter of five or six meters are quietly embedded in the snow, and the light smoke lingers on the water surface, like a dream.
The servants lowered their eyes and said, "Guest, please go into the water."
Shen Qingcheng touched his chin and asked the servant who followed him, "Don't you bleed first?"
Isn’t all pigs bloodletting first?
Servant: "...Guest, please go into the water."
Lu Qi retracted his gaze from observing the hot spring and nodded, "Yes, the temperature here is higher than other places, and there should be more types of food."
So the two of them left the servants who were surrounding them and went into the woods to find something to eat.
All the players assigned to the red bottom mask have holes in their rooms, ranging from 3 to 5. Lu Qi found a few white soft hairs in some of the holes, which were animals that made holes. left.
Shen Qingcheng: "What animal is the last NPC?"
Deer? Even a deer can't get into such a small hole.
Lu Qi had some ideas, but she didn't speak when she saw Shen Meiren's serious thoughts.
As it was noon, the two of them ate the portion of their lunch before returning slowly.
Going back, there are traces of fighting around the hot spring, and there are a few drops of blood on the ground. It seems that the players have already fought with the servants, and they have lost.
The players were also hungry for a day, and they also wanted to leave to find something to eat like Lu Qi and Shen Meiren, but unfortunately they didn't have Lu Qi's skills.
Shen Qingcheng was proud of his foresight, see how well he chose this thigh!
He thought that when he came back this time, he would receive some bad looks more or less. He knew it too well.
He and Lu Qi have something to eat, but these players don't, so some people must be upset.
In the end, when I came back, I saw that the players were soaking in the water naked, with abnormal flushing on their faces and staring at them. How could there be time to pay attention to them?
"Meowmeow"
"Squeaky"
"Chat"
The sounds of cats, squirrels, birds... all kinds of small animals linger in my ears, this sound is not like the normal animal sounds I usually hear, some are shrill, some are prolonged Tone, it sounds weird.
Shen Qingcheng didn't notice it at first, but only when he realized that something was wrong with the players.
He frowned and listened, "What's going on?"
Lu Qi's tone was calm, "I'm in heat."
