On the rugged mountain path, Princess Xiao Yiyou held Lin Huan in her arms, panting slightly as she ran.

Behind him, accountant Xiao Liu chased after him with an incomprehensible and strange posture, like a humanoid frog scurrying around.

Her mouth was opened wide, and her blood-red tongue flicked out of her fangs, as if Xiao Yiyou would be swallowed into her stomach from head to toe in the next moment.

Lin Huan moved in Xiao Yiyou's arms: "Put me down quickly."

Xiao Yiyou lowered his head and smiled at him, saying the same ambiguous words: "It seems a bit reluctant."

Lin Huan: "..."

Just thinking about how to persuade him, Xiao Yiyou suddenly stopped and looked straight ahead.

Lin Huan pressed against his chest, feeling his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his muscles tensed instantly.

Behind him, accountant Xiao Liu was jumping in the air, Xiao Yiyou stopped, she followed the brakes and flew directly over the heads of the two of them and landed on the ground in front of her.After landing, she didn't chase Xiao Yiyou and Lin Huan in a hurry, but looked at the end of the path with the same vigilance as they did, and didn't dare to move again.

At the end of the path was a bend where a large area of ​​low bushes grew.

The bushes blocked the view, and nothing could be seen except the dark branches and leaves and the bright gravel road, only a series of heavy and clear footsteps approaching from far away, step by step, as if stepping on the apex of people's hearts.

In addition to the sound of footsteps, there is another sound that makes the heart beat faster and the scalp tense.

The sound followed the footsteps intermittently, as if a rotating whetstone kept slicing across the blade, making rustling noises.

Of course, this can't be some whetstone, but the sound of someone dragging a huge iron thing and rubbing against the gravel road.

As footsteps approached, the man finally came into view.

He was backlit, and his appearance was unclear, but his special figure immediately revealed his identity—his arms were as thick as his knees, and his head was flat!

It's an old head with half of its head missing!

Lin Huan looked at him silently, his face darkened.

He wore a hat on the two sides he had seen, but now he suddenly met him without a hat in the vast night, and his strangely shaped head was particularly frightening.

What made people even more nervous was that he was actually dragging a big knife that was longer than his height!The handle of the knife was as long as an arm, and it was held upside down in the hand of the old head.

The old head held the knife upside down and walked towards them step by step, like a King Kong walking in hell.

Accountant Liu, who was the first to bear the brunt, took a step back and let out a low, beast-like threatening sound from his throat.

Xiao Yiyou finally put down Lin Huan, and pulled out the gun from his waist.

Lin Huan pressed his hand: "Wait and see."

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, the old head slashed at accountant Liu, and the icy cold and evil spirit on the blade rushed over like mountains and seas, forcing Xiao Yiyou and Lin Huan to retreat several steps in succession.

Accountant Xiao Liu avoided it, but she seemed to be burned by the sharp breath, and howled while covering her skinless face.

"It's not coming towards us." Lin Huan pointed to the grassy slope on one side, "Go around."

So Xiao Yiyou helped him pass by while taking advantage of the chaos.

After turning a few turns along the mountain road, the old head did not chase after him.The two slowed down and rested on the side of the road for a while.

Since he opened the door of the dormitory building, he finally had some breathing space.

Xiao Yiyoudekong asked: "The old head's target is accountant Xiao Liu, how did you know that?"

Lin Huan smiled: "Guess."

But of course it's not an unfounded guess.

When he first entered the dungeon, Wu Shuhua once mentioned the old head in the woods outside the wall, and emphasized that you can't run around at night.For this person, the NPC inside the wall is very scary.

Lin Huan guessed that in this dungeon, the significance of the existence of the old head is not only to transport the players and the corpses in the nearby city, but also to be responsible for trapping things in the wall and keeping the NPC within the designated range.

At night, the forest near the funeral parlor is his active area, and he will wipe out any monsters who dare to step out of the fence, whether it is three NPCs or thousands of ashes.

And the player doesn't seem to be in his jurisdiction.This is also the direct reason why he left the little yellow fur on the way, and drove the lost little yellow fur into the funeral home when night fell.

As long as the player does not have a fierce conflict with him, he will not fight each other.

Listening to Lin Huan's brief explanation of the above guesses, Xiao Yiyou agreed: "So Wu Shuhua and the others leave one person on duty every night, and open the door of the memorial hall to prevent us from going out. Outside the wall is their danger zone Right, right?"

Lin Huan nodded.

I don't know why accountant Xiao Liu chased him out in a daze, and bumped into the old head's hand.

Lin Huan and Xiao Yiyou chatted while walking. Although the night in the mountains was cold, it was not as chilly as the funeral parlor. After walking for a long time, thin sweat oozes from his forehead.

The surrounding mountains and forests stand silently, and there is only a bright small stone road stretching forward endlessly, and it seems that there is no end to it.

There was no trace of Chang Ye and the three of them, and they couldn't find any clues along the way.

Just when the two were confused, the path in front of them suddenly became wide open. At the end of the path, there was a vast area, and a familiar building surrounded by pines and cypresses came into view.

Lin Huan's heart sank.

After walking all night, I didn't encounter a fork in the road, so why did I detour back to the funeral parlor?

Xiao Yiyou gave him a wink: "Continue?"

Lin Huan turned around with him and walked up the path again.

This time, neither of them spoke.They carefully distinguished the direction along the way, looked for the fork in the road, and made sure that they were indeed going all the way to the northeast. There was no fork in the road and no repeated scenery appeared.

But about three hours later, they returned to the iron gate of the funeral home again.

It was about 03:30 in the morning, the darkest and coldest time of the day.The two of them were exhausted after walking for too long, and Lin Huan injured his leg again, so it was difficult to persist.But if this is done, not only will Master Chang, Huang Mao, and Master Jingjue become more and more unpredictable, but the situation will become quite passive when Wu Shuhua and Master Zhou return.

Lin Huan decided to try again.He abandoned the winding path and pointed to the dense forest: "Let's go up the mountain."

Xiao Yiyou resolutely carried out Lin Huan's decision.But the form of execution, he himself has the final say.So he couldn't help saying, picked up Lin Huan and left.

The light in the mountain forest is dim, and the terrain is more rugged, which consumes a lot of energy.Xiao Yiyou climbed up the steep ridge all the way, and after a long time, he came to a small flat highland.

The view here is good, you can see the golden roof of the funeral parlor in the southwest, and you can also see the only path going around the mountain like a snow-colored ribbon.

Xiao Yiyou put Lin Huan down and wiped off his sweat: "You see, that road is not a circle, we walked back and forth without knowing it."

Lin Huan said: "The dungeon setting cannot be explained according to common sense."

At this moment, a cool wind blows over the top of the mountain, and the pine forests all over the mountain fluctuate, making light noises like sea waves.They suddenly heard heavy footsteps, accompanied by the ear-piercing scraping of long knives, getting closer.

The two of them turned to the source of the sound tensely, and Xiao Yiyou took out his gun again.

If the first encounter was to hunt down the escaped NPC inside the wall, what was the purpose this time?Are the previous inferences wrong?

The old head finally appeared on the other side of the plateau.

He was still dragging a long knife, but what was different from before was that this time he carried a person on his shoulders, a woman tied up with hemp rope.The woman is slender and slender, with messy hair hanging on the ground, she looks like Xiao Liu's accountant.

The old head faced Xiao Yiyou's muzzle and approached step by step until they were standing less than two meters away from each other.

With a serious brown face, he sized up Lin Huan and Xiao Yiyou expressionlessly, and said in a deep and hoarse voice, "Take them back."

It took them a while to realize, is this asking them to bring accountant Xiao Liu back to the funeral parlor?

Xiao Yiyou looked at Accountant Liu, then at the stinky black and red blood on the long knife: "Is she dead?"

The old head shook his head, added two words and repeated the previous sentence: "Take it back and burn it."

Xiao Yiyou: "?"

The old head: "If you don't burn it, it will recover!"

Xiao Yiyou and Lin Huan immediately understood.

Accountant Liu, the NPC, has indeed lost his ability to move, but this is only temporary. The dungeon is set. If it is not burned, she will become a good accountant Liu again. At that time, the players will be in danger.

Seeing the understanding expressions of the two, the old head nodded slightly, and added: "Within a day!"

Xiao Yiyou immediately glanced at his watch: it was ten past four in the morning.

That is to say, before four o'clock in the morning tomorrow, Xiao Liu's accountant will change.

"Remember, thank you very much." Xiao Yiyou said verbally, but his body didn't move.

The old head looked at him unkindly: "Go back!"

Seeing that the old head had no malice, and Lin Huan didn't want to make things stand still, he said politely, "Master Feng, we are here to find someone. Did you see two men and a woman on the mountain?"

Old Fengtou didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't seem to want to answer, but he still said: "Go back!"

Xiao Yiyou glanced at Lin Huan quickly, and asked again: "Ah...do you mean that they will also go back along the road?"

A trace of impatience and anger suddenly appeared on the old Fengtou's stone-like face.

Xiao Yiyou caught a glimpse of his fingers holding the knife gradually tightened, and quickly said: "We are going back, but..." He pressed Lin Huan's shoulder, and then looked at Accountant Liu, "It seems inconvenient Woolen cloth."

The old head hesitated for a moment, then turned to stare at Lin Huan's legs.

The cut was shallow and the blood had dried on. What affected his walking was a muscle strain, and continued activity would make his legs swell even more.

Xiao Yiyou went up the mountain with Lin Huan on his back, and indeed he could no longer carry a woman on his back down the ridge.

The old head stared at the two of them coldly, and carried Liu Hui to the front in silence.
