I Was Once a Legend

Wang Ailun immediately agreed and echoed: "Your brother looks very reliable. Usually in novels and movies, those who don't talk much like this are ruthless people. How can I say it, it's called a domineering spirit!"

【Hahahahaha...】

This time there was a series of laughter directly, as if hearing something overjoyed.Dong Zheng recognized Cui Zuojing's voice, confirmed his guess, glanced at Alan who was still chatting with Dong Linhai, and tentatively said from his heart:

[Do I want to communicate with you like this? 】

【Well, you can say whatever you want to say in your heart. 】

At this time, Cui Zuojing was in the prisoner card connected to Dong Zheng's left hand mark. He entered the card for the first time, but he had already heard his former prisoner talk about the situation inside.

This is a room with a size of six by six, or a cage. It is very magical that various things can appear in the space according to the thoughts of the prisoners. As long as you are not afraid of being squeezed to death, there is no need to imagine a group of elephants question.

Of course, the things inside can't be taken out, and the things outside can't come in, so this function can only make the prisoners less boring when they are not called outside.

Wang Ailun: "Did you get the gun out of the box? That's cool!"

Linhai: "Yeah, luck is better, I found it on the road."

Dong Zheng asked again: [Even if you are not released, can you hear the movement outside? 】

[Yes, I can barely see the situation on your side. 】Cui Zuojing is lying on a huge invincible super Simmons, and the blood-stained clothes on the boy's body have been changed.After being forcibly taken back, he fell asleep immediately, and when he woke up, he heard Lin Hai playing Dong Zheng, and he couldn't help laughing.

Alan didn't know what he said, so Dong Linhai nodded and said: "Yes, yes, my brother makes people feel safe. Whenever there is any danger, as long as he is with me, I won't be so afraid."

Cui Zuojing let out a sigh, and did not forget to sneer: [It seems that you are still not weaned, Bai Chang is such a big man. 】

Dong Zheng saw that the two were talking too much, and said helplessly: "Linhai, don't talk nonsense, and Alan, don't believe him. We just passed the novice level, and we have no experience at all, and we still don't understand the situation."

Allen said very familiarly and straightforwardly: "It's okay, the three of us are teammates now, and it happens that I have experienced two more boxes than you. If I have any experience, I will definitely not hide it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps. The next moment, two people ran over from the side of the mist. A middle-aged man and a woman, although a little embarrassed, did not look panicked.

"Everyone is here." The man breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to slow down and take a rest.

Everyone sitting on the ground stood up one after another, and the man with glasses asked, "How many gold beads do you have?"

The man said: "Four, two of them were found from the corpse."

"Corpse?" Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

The slightly fat middle-aged woman hummed: "We passed a hut on the way, and the zombie knight was outside, as if he was dead, and then continued walking, and came across two people who were killed, I thought that since zombies can't Take action, and take the beads on their bodies."

The couple passed by Henry's body, and naturally went into the hut to search around, but Dong Zheng and Linhai took away all the useful things in it, and they couldn't find them - except for the miserable corpse of the ranger and Dong Linhai outside of the vomit.

"That zombie is dead?!" Everyone was shocked now, the terrifying existence crawling out of the abyss actually died? !

Who killed it?

Who has the ability to kill it?

Is there anything more powerful than zombie knights in this forest?

In the silence, everyone shuddered.

Wang Ailun cursed in English in a low voice, and couldn't help but rejoice that those two people left him and left, otherwise...otherwise the middle-aged couple might see one more corpse than him!

Only Dong Zheng and Lin Hai knew about what happened, and they looked at Lin Hai. Dong Zheng saw undisguised surprise in his eyes, and immediately asked: 【Did you kill that zombie? 】

In the prisoner’s space, Cui Zuojing put a target on the wall, sat on the bed and played darts: [Well, his name is Henry, he was someone I knew before I became a prisoner, but he has been completely reduced to a monster, and I set him free. 】

The boy's voice was lazy, as if he had solved it easily, Dong Zheng couldn't help being surprised when he noticed his comfort.

Cui Zuojing's strength was even stronger than he imagined.

[May I take the liberty to ask, before becoming a prisoner, where did you reach in your journey? 】

Cui Zuojing chuckled lightly: 【I'm afraid to scare you to death if I say it. 】

That is a very powerful pilgrim.Seeing that Cui Zuojing didn't want to talk much, Dong Zheng stopped asking and focused on the matter in front of him.

With the addition of the two dead participants, all twelve people entered the box exactly, and the nine gold beads needed were just right, which made people wonder.

But whether someone is secretly manipulating it or not, they must leave here as soon as possible now.

Nine golden beads were put into the bayonet one after another, and the astrolabe was finally complete again.The man in glasses took a step back and waited nervously with everyone.

Rumble-

There was only a series of dull machine sounds coming from the ground, as if some huge mechanism had been activated, and the whole earth trembled slightly.This kind of vibration and muffled sound lasted for more than two minutes. With the final sound, the astrolabe was split into two halves, and the trunk of the banyan tree also split, creating a gap that was as wide as one person!

It was pitch black in the gap, and with the faint light, one could vaguely see several steps below, and it was not known where it would lead.

"Are we going in?" Someone asked.

"It seems to be." Even though they said this, no one took the initiative to stand up and be the first. In this case, the person who walked in front would definitely face the greatest danger.

No one wants to take risks.

There was a stalemate for a while, no one spoke anymore, even the bluffing Wang Ailun fell silent.

But it's time to start.

Seeing this, Dong Zheng sighed silently. He took off the shotgun and held it in his hand, turned on the flashlight, and walked to the dark gap first: "Linhai Alan followed."

Some people took the lead, and the rest consciously followed behind. Among them, the strong men and the middle-aged couple had a little dispute because they didn't want to be at the end of the team, but it soon calmed down.

Because the environment inside the banyan tree is too depressing.

Just like the stairs in the cellar, it was pitch black here, and there seemed to be some special restriction. Even if they tried to face forward, the flashlights and lamps in everyone's hands could only illuminate the place three meters in front of them.

Although the banyan tree is as thick as seven or eight people hugging each other, the passage is only as wide as one person, and the wooden walls undulate gently as if they are alive, as if they are breathing.

The chaotic footsteps of the ten people echoed into everyone's ears as a terrible echo. The dim and limited vision made people think: if there is suddenly a person who does not belong to them in the team, no one will notice it immediately .

Dong Zheng walked very steadily. Only he himself knew how nervous he was. The palms holding the shotgun and the flashlight were full of cold sweat, but the existence of the prisoner in his left hand gave him some confidence.

[By the way, Arabidopsis is just your prisoner's name, can I know your original name?It's also convenient to call it that way. 】

The young man threw away all the darts in his hands, lay down on his back bored, staring at the clean and empty ceiling, the top of the cage, and replied: [Cui Zuojing. 】

There should still be legends about him in the Pure White Realm, but it doesn't matter, his former team members have been using their code names to reveal themselves from the very beginning, so there is no need to be afraid of their names revealing anything.

The stairs seemed to be endless, and after walking like this for more than 30 minutes, the legs of the middle-aged woman with the weakest physical strength were no longer as soft as her own. It’s almost down to the center of the earth.”

The man with glasses who had been silently counting the steps said, "We've almost walked down 2000 meters."

The bearded man clicked his tongue irritably: "The 2000 meters is not over yet? I said we won't go into hell forever."

Everyone whispered, and Dong Zheng still kept walking at the same speed, unaffected by those increasingly weird guesses.

The air seems to be moving slowly, and it should be close to the exit.

After walking for another five or six minutes, Dong Zheng suddenly stopped and turned off the flashlight.

There is light ahead.

"Eh? There's light?!" Linhai glanced over Dong Zheng's shoulder, and also saw the faint light coming in from the top of the passage, and immediately became excited. The narrow and depressing stairs along the way always reminded him of what happened in the cellar, and he was worried Yes, now I can go out!

Because the entire staircase is sloping downwards, when Dong Zheng sensed the light, the exit was only more than 30 meters away from them. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his tense spirit a little, and walked forward vigilantly, but unavoidably accelerated step.

After all, it was a low-level box. There was no accident that everyone was afraid of on the way. When they walked out of the stairs, everyone was relieved. The clear and fresh air poured into the lungs, which made the fatigue and tension subside a lot.

"God, what the hell kind of place is this?" The woman with the high ponytail looked around and couldn't help frowning and sighing softly.

This is still a forest, all the trees are pure black, without any color change, only the branches are left bare, stretching out to the sky ferociously, as if trying to grab something.And the ground under their feet is gray with different shades of gray, the sky is a depressing gray and white, and only ten of them have colors in the whole world, as if... they have entered an old-fashioned black and white photo by mistake.

[Sky, blue sky. 】

Cui Zuojing suddenly said such an endless sentence, Dong Zheng subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the top of his head.Where is the blue?

The middle-aged couple sat on the ground and rested since they first came out. They were already old, and they were not manual workers in the real world. They were exhausted. The two strong men were already injured and leaned on the tree rest.After looking around like this, only the woman with the high ponytail and Dong Zheng seemed to have spare energy.

The woman said, "Let's take a rest before leaving."

The crowd echoed, Dong Zheng agreed, and said, "Ai Lun and I will go nearby to see what's going on, Linhai, where are you resting?"

Dong Linhai who had already sat down immediately got up and patted the dirt on his buttocks: "I'll be with you."

The three of them left the team for a while and began to explore the surroundings, hoping to find some key clues. Soon Dong Linhai found a small road. There was a small wooden signpost beside the road. The arrow drawn pointed to the direction in front of them. "Hameln".

Linhai: "Does that mean we're going to follow the road and go to this place?"

Wang Ailun: "Obviously yes, but this place name...does it look familiar to you?"

Dong Zheng: "The German city of Hameln?"

Wang Ailun: "Well, but there is another meaning—"

Just as he was halfway through speaking, a melodious sound of the flute came from afar, wafting into everyone's ears. Wang Ailun immediately stopped talking and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Lin Hai, who was squatting in front of the wooden sign and studying, felt dizzy for a while. He raised his hand to cover his confused head, and then stood up slowly amidst the sound of the flute.

"Linhai?" Dong Zheng immediately felt something was wrong, and raised his hand to pull his arm, but Dong Linhai didn't seem to feel it at all, his eyes were lax, and he stood upright, as if he was waiting for someone.

Dong Zheng: "What's going on?"

Wang Ailun stared blankly. Just as he was about to speak, Dong Zheng saw someone coming from the dry forest and signaled him to keep quiet.

The two of them dodged and hid behind two thick trees at the same time, leaving only the dull Dong Linhai standing in place.

The sound of the flute continued, getting closer and closer, and soon a figure appeared clearly in front of him.

It was a black-haired young man of medium build, wearing a wide hat with colorful peacock feathers on his head, and a flowered dress with colorful patterns like stained glass in a church. The wide cuffs and long hem almost dragged to the ground, and the boots Point the toes up.

There is a light-colored tear mole in each of his eyes, like two unshed tears. At this time, he is slightly closing his eyes, holding the flute to his lips, and playing a melodious tune.

Behind him, the people who were supposed to be resting in place all followed his steps in a daze, and walked slowly towards the path marked by the wooden sign.

The flute player walked past Linhai, the loose corner of his clothes brushed over the young man's fingers, Linhai automatically joined the team as if bewitched by a spell, and followed him.

Flute, troubadours, crazy animals, controlled people, Hameln.

All the clues were clear, Dong Zheng and Allen looked at each other, tacitly pretended to be controlled, followed at the end of the team, and walked towards Hameln.

In "Grimm's Fairy Tales", the hometown of "The Pied Piper".
