In the haze, Lin Huan heard the beeping sound of firewood burning in his ears, and slowly opened his eyes.

This is a low log cabin, and the stone fireplace in the corner is the source of all the warmth and light in this small space.

He was dressed in European medieval civilian clothes and lay on a small wooden bed with a piece of dry and thick animal skin on his body.

The burning pain in the stomach has disappeared, but the hands and feet are still limp.Lin Huan simply continued to lie down, staring at the wood grain on the ceiling in a daze.

This is the fourth copy since entering the game.

Under the arrangement of the system, every time he enters the dungeon, he will have a dream about him, and experience those unforgettable things deep in his memory.But this time he slept soundly, he didn't fall asleep again.

Lin Huan felt very sorry.

How much he wanted to penetrate his perspective again, review their common experiences, and feel every emotional ups and downs in his heart... But it seemed that he was ruthlessly teased by the system. The heart that was easy to get close to was split again, but it was hard to touch each other's expectations.

Fortunately, Xiao Yiyou won the player bond in the mini game, no matter what the current situation is, they will definitely meet in the instance.

After the five senses were fully restored, Lin Huan heard the sound of breathing in the dark corner of the room.

Very light and very stable.

He looked at the ceiling without moving: "Who's there?"

"Oh, you're awake." A completely unfamiliar voice said.

The wooden floor creaked, and Lin Huan saw a thin man's face, with short thick eyebrows, slender eyes, and a sharp and thin jaw under two thin lips—a very cool and thin face.

"Lin Huan, right? Get to know me, my name is Ding Hou, just call me a monkey." He looked at Lin Huan's pale face, but did not hide the disappointment and disdain on his face, "I only saw you when I opened my eyes. The dungeon is the two of us teaming up?"

"A dungeon for two players?" Lin Huan was thinking about being tied to Xiao Yiyou, and he should be somewhere in this dungeon, so he slowly replied, "Impossible."

Ding Hou raised his eyebrows and nodded: "I hope. No matter who I meet later, it seems that I can only team up with you now. Judging by your appearance, you won't hold me back, right?"

Lin Huan smiled indifferently: "Instead of worrying about this, why not find out where we are first?"

"You saw it too." The tamarin shrugged, "In a small wooden house with no windows, the door is locked."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of unlocking the door immediately sounded. An old man with curly hair and dark eyes slowly walked in from the darkness outside. Under the watchful eyes of Lin Huan and Ding Hou, he locked the door calmly and said with a smile : "Children, you are all awake."

The tamarind looked at him vigilantly: "Who are you?"

"I'm Lake, the village head of Ketor Village. Your hot air balloon crashed into the open space beside the village. It was the young people in the village who brought you back."

Ding Hou glanced at Lin Huan suspiciously: "Did I hear it wrong? There will be hot air balloons at this time?"

The village head nodded: "It is the proud work of the Great Inventors Alliance. They are all great figures who are as famous as witches!"

Ting Hou tilted his mouth and sneered: "Inventors and witches are equally famous, science and magic go hand in hand? The setting of the new dungeon is quite novel."

Lin Huan didn't care about these settings. He looked at the key in the village chief's hand calmly: "Can you explain why you locked us?"

The village chief didn't seem to feel anything wrong at all: "Ah, our village is too small, and it's in the deep mountains and old forests. It's not very peaceful at night. I'm afraid that children from other places won't know the situation and they will be in danger if they go out and wander around, so we temporarily lock the door. here."

Ding Hou pointed at the door: "Then, Mr. Village Chief, we understand the situation, can we release him now?"

The village chief hesitated for a moment: "It's midnight, it's dark outside, where are you going now? And the child hasn't fully recovered yet."

He briefly checked Lin Huan's condition: "Don't worry, with the witch's secret medicine, no matter how serious the injury or illness is, it can be relieved, and the child will be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning."

"Thank you." Lin Huan nodded with a smile. "The village chief came to visit late at night, mentioned his kindness to us, and locked the door and was not allowed to leave. He must have something to say?"

It's not that Lin Huan doesn't care about etiquette. He knows that the village chief is just an NPC explaining the plot.

The village chief stroked the sparse beard under his jaw: "Then I'll just say it straight."

Lin Huan and Ding Hou quickly learned about the plot from the words of the village chief.

This is a small village built in the forest, and the ancestors lived by hunting.The forest area is vast and the environment is dangerous. The hunters are often in danger, swallowed by the horrible things in the forest, and disappear without a trace.

In this generation, the young male hunters are almost extinct, and seven or eight families in the village are old and weak, women and children, who have no courage to go hunting, and can only pick mushrooms nearby to make a living.The rest of the necessities of life are obtained from the bazaar of the witch in the woods.

"For example, the medicine this child ate was made by witches. There are also some convenient tools, handicrafts, beautiful woven blankets, even dried venison, rice..." the village chief said longingly, "The witch's market There is nothing you can’t buy on the Internet, only what you can’t think of.”

Ding Hou didn't want to listen to his wordy words: "Understood. Tell me the conclusion directly, old man?"

The village chief was interrupted, stunned for a moment, and thought about his words a little: "If you want to go to the witch market, you have to go through a virgin forest. We call it the forest of terror. Only the bravest and most determined warriors dare to enter... Our village is not There are no young boys, the day of the witch market is coming, children, can you take a trip on behalf of the villagers to exchange for something?"

Going to the witch bazaar to exchange items, Ding Hou guessed that this is the main storyline, so he responded immediately: "No problem, how to get there, how to change, please explain clearly."

"The witch's market is deep in the forest. It takes about five days to walk along the mushroom bushes on both sides of the road."

The village chief took out a small cloth bag: "Here are ten gold coins. We need some meat and rice, some vegetable seeds, and a cow would be the best."

"Maybe there will be a little leftover, children, you can meet her in the witch's tent in the center of the market, and she will help you realize a wish equivalent to the value of gold coins after she accepts the money." The village chief said apologetically, "The village There are only ten gold coins left, otherwise I can give you some more."

Ding Hou took the ten gold coins, weighed them in his hands, and didn't say much.

These ten gold coins are very thin and light. To be precise, they should be ten gold pieces. If you want to buy the rice, meat, vegetable seeds and cows for the whole village, it is barely enough at most. What else is there left?But this is a system setting, even if the player is dissatisfied, there is nothing to criticize the NPC.

Ding Hou's slender eyes swept over the gold coins, flashing a trace of cunning that was difficult for others to detect. He silently put all the gold coins in his pocket and did not distribute them to Lin Huan.

Lin Huan's eyes lightly swept across his face, and most of the other party's thoughts were guessed.

The tamarin was clearly thinking about the witch's wishing tent.

On this point, Lin Huan also has doubts:

If the gold coins given to the witch are enough, can I directly make a wish to clear the dungeon?

If there are other players holding gold coins, can they snatch each other?

If the answer is yes, this dungeon will obviously turn into a battle between players.

In Ding Hou's eyes, Lin Huan at this time is a burden, and it would be best if he can get rid of it along the way, why would he give him half of the gold coins that everyone is jealous of?

Lin Huan smiled in his heart, and turned to the village chief: "We are willing to go to the witch market to exchange items to repay the kindness of the villagers. I also ask the village chief to tell the truth, what is there in the scary forest?"

The village head said vaguely: "There are many wild animals in the forest. You may also see some incredible or terrifying things on the road. As long as you walk along the mushroom road, I believe they will not come to disturb you."

After further questioning, the village chief began to talk about him. Lin Huan probably couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up.

After reaching an agreement, the village chief no longer locked the door.

At dawn, Lin Huan really felt much better. Although his body still felt tired and weak, his activities were not hindered.

After tidying up and leaving the cabin, there was a burst of moist mountain mist, and the wind carried the chill that had not yet dissipated from the bitter night.

Seeing the dense and towering forest like a giant wall outside the village, Lin Huan and Ding Hou were secretly startled.

In order to participate in international competitions, Lin Huan has traveled through many primeval forests, temperate, frigid, tropical... He knows the vegetation and landforms of primeval forests in various regions, but he has never seen or heard of such a huge tree!

Lin Huan even wondered, are those things that tower into the sky like the central buildings of the magic city really trees?Such a tree is already appalling, but all the trees in this forest are of that height!

Under the huge oppression of this dense forest, the village is like a small ant's nest under the abyss. The ant's nest is always shrouded in dim shadow. the sun is coming.

Under the guidance of the village chief, they went to the entrance of the village in a panic, and met many villagers who got up early along the way.

The villagers are dressed simply, with pale skin and rigid expressions, like puppets that have been bleached of all colors, blending in with the dark surroundings.

Seeing Lin Huan and Ding Hou, they greeted them politely, but they all avoided.

The village head is enthusiastic, the villagers are polite, but the children are cold and nervous—that is the truest expression of emotions for foreigners.

From their expressions, Lin Huan vaguely guessed that this trip was not easy.

The village was indeed small, and they had not gone far before they came to the entrance of the wood.There is indeed a narrow path here, and there are indeed layers of crowded mushroom bushes beside the path.What is shocking is that the mushrooms here are not as small and cute as they imagined. They are as big as a person's height, and the small ones are as thick as human legs. The mushroom canopy is covered with red and white vertical stripes. Corroded like blood, white as pale as bone.Just one glance at that uncomfortable hue makes one feel tense and uneasy.

"This kind of mushroom is highly poisonous. You can't eat it, let alone touch it. They are there to protect you." The village chief stuffed them with a burden and told them carefully, "Eat and drink are all prepared for you. Be sure to remember the mushrooms in the forest. Everything is off-putting, no matter how delicious it looks."

The tamarind carried the burden on his back again.

Saying goodbye to the village chief, the two officially stepped into the original giant forest.

The further inward they went, the dimmer the light became, but the huge mushroom bushes glowed with a faint white light, guiding them all the way to the depths.

The roots are all over the feet, and the road surface is muddy and uneven.Ding Hou and Lin Huan both have some means, and walking is not too strenuous.

After walking for about an hour, Lin Huan gradually fell behind due to the emptiness of his body. The tamarin climbed up the huge tree roots blocking the front and looked back at Lin Huan with an impatient expression: "I can't stand it anymore? Can you be sick?" so troublesome."

At this moment, a green spot of light suddenly lit up in the darkness behind him.
