Chapter 49 Strange Sounds in the Woods
The village chief said: "If you want this shield, just take it."
"It's just a piece of scrap metal anyway, not worth much."
Lin Chen was a little surprised by these words.
This village chief is so generous.
Give away the artifact to deal with the River God?
"Thank you very much, village chief." Lin Chen smiled, and then said, "But I still have a question."
"What is it?"
The old village chief returned to the recliner and sat down and said, "Old man, if I knew, I would definitely answer you."
"Where is the long sword that goes with this shield?"
This is the weapon used to kill the river god.
It is also one of the most important mission props.
If you can collect these two mission props, the rewards will be higher at the end of the mission.
The old village chief was not surprised.
But he sighed deeply and said, "I do know where that sword is."
"But you can't get it."
Lin Chen said: "Tell me, I don't know where it is, how do you know I can't get it?"
"In the hands of the river god."
The old village chief said.
Was it actually in the hands of the River God? Lin Chen thought this sword was in the hands of someone in the village.
But this can't help Lin Chen.
"I see."
After saying that, he took the shield and turned around to leave.
"Little brother, wait a minute." The old village chief suddenly stopped Lin Chen.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chen stopped.
"You must not disturb the River God."
The old village chief said solemnly: "The river god's power is boundless, and it is not something we mere mortals can deal with."
"The most important thing is that the river god also has great wisdom and resourcefulness."
"He's very thoughtful."
"Everything was in his plan."
"Don't bother, don't bother." Lin Chen said with a smile: "The River God is invincible in the world."
The old village chief nodded and said nothing more after being reminded.
As soon as I moved my body, the sound soon disappeared.
Lin Chen took the shield and went home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Chen Hao and others.
"You haven't apologized yet?" Lin Chen asked.
"no."
Chen Hao said: "I have already apologized."
"We are forgiven."
This village has an honest reputation. Under Chen Hao's sincere apology, the saint's father quickly forgave him.
Yang Jun noticed the big shield in Lin Chen's hand.
Curious, he asked: "What is this?"
when!
Lin Chen threw the shield to the ground like trash.
The thick shield actually made the ground tremble slightly.
"This is a shield used to deal with the river god." Lin Chen explained.
"What!"
All three of them had their eyes widened.
The legendary shield.
Got it now?
Chen Fei knelt on the ground and looked at the shield carefully.
"Yes, that's right, that's it."
Then he raised his head, looked at Lin Chen with a shocked face, and asked in horror: "How did you get it?"
"Given by the village chief."
Several people's eyes widened even more.
In the time it took for the few of them to apologize, Lin Chen had already run to the village chief's house and got the shield back!
"What a magical teammate."
In the live broadcast room, all the viewers couldn't help but howl.
"I also want teammates like this."
"One person wrote in blood, asking to open Lin Chen's live broadcast room. I want to see his perspective."
"Agree, the two of them wrote in blood, requesting to open Lin Chen's live broadcast room!"
"+1!"
Lin Chen said: "Take good care of the shield."
"I'm going to see if I can fish out the sword."
"Get it?"
These words aroused Chen Fei's alert.
"The sword is in the water?"
When we talk about water, we think of rivers. Where there are rivers, there are lakes.
Chen Fei's pupils trembled.
"wrong."
"In the lake!"
"You want to go into the lake!"
This is suicide.
Chen Fei hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, please calm down. There is a river god under the lake. Stop talking. Our lives are in danger just by getting close."
"You have to go even if it's dangerous."
As long as you get the long sword, the rewards will be increased.
Maybe, we can also get rid of the River God by the way.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Chen Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will go with you."
"We'll go too."
Chen Hao and Yang Jun said in unison.
Knowing that Lin Chen was going to the lake, they could no longer stay at home. Now they were a team of four.
"Whatever you want."
After leaving these words, Lin Chen walked out.
The system's mission has changed.
"Current mission: Go to the lake and find the sword."
Following the guidance of the system, you can find the lake directly without worrying about getting lost.
It wasn't long after I left the village.
They were blocked by a dense forest.
There is still a faint trail on the ground, but there are overgrown shrubs and weeds on both sides of the road.
It seems like no one has been here for a long time.
Chen Hao couldn't help but said: "This is too desolate."
"Are you really going this way?"
"Nothing wrong."
Lin Chen explained: "Someone only leaves here every ten years."
"So it's normal for the chaos to be like this."
After that, he picked up a wooden stick from the side and used it as a machete to cut through the thorns.
After a lot of cutting, a small road was built.
The four of them moved forward steadily.
Lin Chen walked in the front, followed by Chen Hao, then Chen Fei, and finally Yang Jun.
Rustling.
Yang Jun suddenly heard the sound of something running in the forest.
He didn't pay attention at first.
In the woods, it is normal for small animals to run around.
But after a while.
Rustling.
The voice came again, and...it came from behind.
Yang Jun looked solemn and turned around suddenly.
But behind him, there was clearly nothing.
"Did I hear wrongly?"
Yang Jun frowned. Chen Fei in front heard his muttering and turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Yang Jun shook his head immediately.
As the team deepens.
The surrounding trees are getting taller and taller, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Because the sun cannot fall.
It's very dark here, the air still contains a lot of moisture, and it's a bit stuffy.
Chen Fei couldn't help wiping his sweat.
There was too much moisture in the air and the sweat on his body could not evaporate, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Yang Jun was also wiping his sweat.
But that's it.
Rustling——
That familiar voice came again.
"Who is it?"
Yang Jun turned around suddenly and asked loudly.
He spoke suddenly, causing the team to stop.
Chen Fei asked hurriedly: "What did you see?"
"I didn't see anything."
Yang Jun said seriously: "But I heard the sound of something moving."
"Right behind us."
Lin Chen walked over and glanced across the forest.
"Is there anything here?" Chen Hao also came over and asked.
Chen Fei tried hard to remember.
What kind of enemies are there in this game?
But after much thought, he could only think of one enemy, and that was the River God.
"It must be some kind of animal that just happened to pass behind us." Chen Fei was looking for a reasonable explanation.
Chen Hao nodded in agreement.
This is the only possibility.
You can't say that the river god is following them, right?
How is that possible.
"Quiet."
Lin Chen suddenly said.
Chen Hao and Chen Fei paused for a moment. Although they didn't know what happened, they still hurriedly closed their mouths.
Lin Chen's eyes suddenly fell to the left side of the team, and then he swung the wooden stick in his hand and flew straight out like a sharp arrow.
