The sudden appearance of the old man disrupted the tit-for-tat atmosphere on both sides.

Everyone, from Tian Qiu to the puppet master, to the controlled players, all looked vigilant.

Everyone has entered the state of being about to face the plot of the dungeon, but Yu Yue is still staring at the puppeteer closely with his lips pursed.

"They didn't really die. No one will enter the A-level dungeon when the points are about to be used up, except you," Tian Qiu continued to comfort him in a low voice, "After the dungeon officially starts, what kind of action will be taken against this behavior?" restrictions will also be strengthened.”

Just when Tian Qiu thought that Yu Yue was being dominated by emotions and was about to become irrational, he saw Yu Yue took a deep breath and turned his head seriously.

That expression seemed to say, this person is very strong, and he cannot continue to hurt everyone.

Tian Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss of the ship?" On the shore, the old voice sounded again, this time full of warnings.

Yu Yue raised his head and looked at the old man.

The gray fog on the shore has all faded away, revealing a phantom of a dilapidated small village behind the old man.

The old man's white hair and beard trembled, his left and right hands stretched out, one invited Yu Yue, and the other invited the puppeteer: "Please."

Yu Yue paused for a moment, stood up, and stepped ashore from the small boat in silence.

Following his movements, the corner of the mouth on the left side of the old man's face was lifted, squeezing the wrinkles on his face, revealing a weird smile.

On the other side, the puppet master waited for a while, and when he saw that nothing happened, he snorted coldly and stepped out of the boat.

When he stood on the shore, the corner of the mouth on the right side of the old man's face was also raised, forming a completely symmetrical and complete smile.

"Very good," the old man said with such a smile, "I am really grateful to the two boat bosses for accepting our commission. You know, no living person has been able to pass on this river for a long time... Alas, because of this, The God of the River is always angry, making life difficult for the people here."

"However, fortunately, we are very honored to have you two," the old man changed his subject, turned his left eye to Yu Yue, and his right eye to the puppeteer, and said hoarsely and slowly, "If anyone can really succeed in bringing our Give the sacrifice to the river god, bless us with good weather, hee hee, we will do our best to thank you..."

As he spoke, he backed away slowly, turned around and showed Yu Yue and the puppet master the small village behind him.

The outline of the small village is clearer than before. There is an avenue in the center, and there are two completely symmetrical houses on the left and right sides. The white bricks and black tiles are staggered, very simple and elegant.But amidst the simplicity and elegance, there was a bit of indescribable incongruity.

Because it's too symmetrical.

Not only the windows, tiles, and damaged parts of the houses are symmetrical, but even the two hills behind the village are also symmetrical, forming a saddle shape.There are small temples on the top of the mountain on both sides.

It was as if the venue was arranged for fair competition between the two guilds.

[Barrage: complete, complete symmetry? 】

[Barrage: The conditions are exactly the same, whoever clears the level first wins? 】

[Barrage: It shouldn't be that simple, let's look at the details! 】

"As you can see, our village is very orderly. In order to make it fair for the guys to have work to do, let the boat boss on the left be responsible for the area on the left, and the boat boss on the right to be in charge of the area on the right," the old man still said. Introducing this small village, "The people in our village are all hospitable, and you are familiar with them, you can live anywhere, hehe, the same is true for the children, the more they are fresh, the more relatives they are - anyway, this week is here again When delivering sacrifices to the river god, you watched the work and earned the money you should earn, hehe. Come on, let the boatmen come up, and I will take you into the village right now."

The old man's voice was very hoarse, but it was carried far away on the surface of the water, and the players who had been staying on the boat came ashore.

Tian Qiu walked behind Yu Yue, and the four controlled players, the black hooded boy, and the sacrificial man all walked behind the puppet master.

"Alas," the old man said without turning his head, as if he had eyes behind his back, "It seems that some boat bosses have brought a lot of boatmen, but don't let these boatmen make trouble and fight for jobs! In this regard, our river god is, Hiss, quite harsh." [Danmaku: Well said! 】

[Barrage: This means that the roll call can't be messed up, right? 】

[Barrage: It should be. 】

"Hey," a laugh came from behind the puppeteer's mask, "Of course, my boatmen are very obedient."

It was shameless for him to say this, but Yu Yue and Tian Qiu didn't fall for it and ignored him.

The old man in front saw that they were "living in harmony", so he nodded with his back to them, and stopped at the entrance of the village: "Here we are."

He turned around, looked at the people on both sides with his cloudy eyes, and said, "The old man will remind you one last thing—worship the river god of whichever company you work in, and you must not be wrong. Then I will take you here , please start working as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he tremblingly walked towards the small house in the middle of the entrance of the village, and then a strange scene appeared.

The old man's body gradually became fatter, and then the clothes were torn from the middle, and with a "hissing", the whole body was also split into two - the flesh and tissue were exposed to the air, and the blood dripped down, completely soaked in the soil. disappear.

Yu Yue paused, stretched out his hand to stop Tian Qiu behind him, his face turned pale.Among the puppet master and his party on the right, a few players exclaimed in a low voice. The puppet master was "expressionless", but his tall body tensed up.

The old man's body was divided into two halves, one side had only one leg, and he could still walk, and even left two footprints on the muddy ground. Slowly, with the sound of flesh and blood growing, the old man on the left The right body of the old man on the right and the left body of the old man on the right have grown out.

They turned their heads at the same time: pointing to the two small houses at the entrance of the village, one on the left and one on the right, they said in unison: "I live here, if you can't find me, just ask the people in the village, find the village chief."

After finishing speaking, the two stepped forward and disappeared at the door of the small house together.

The moment the old man closed the door, the sound of "rusting" people began to come from both sides of the village, as if it suddenly became lively.

"This, this is too scary." Some players couldn't help but said.

"What's so scary?" The puppet master said coldly, "You expect nothing strange to happen here?"

The player immediately flattered him and said, "How can it be? The more things happen, the more room for you to play."

This sentence was too embarrassing to boast, even the puppet master himself couldn't stand it.Both Yu Yue and Tian Qiu couldn't help turning their heads to take a look, only to see that the speaker was Bi Yingrui, who was 1.7 meters tall and had a pair of big ears.

At this time, the puppet master suddenly turned his head, looked at Yu Yue, and waved his long right arm: "Regret? If you want to join us now, there is still time—"

"Impossible." Yu Yue interrupted him.

"Heh," the puppet master backed away slowly, "Then let's each rely on our own abilities."

Perhaps he was afraid of the old man's "The God of the River is very strict" rule that prohibits internal fighting on the surface. After saying this, he stopped provoking Yu Yue and Tian Qiu, but walked towards the village on the right with big strides. Go, behind him, the hooded boy and the sacrificial man followed immediately, and the remaining four players followed behind.

Three of the four players looked back at Yu Yue and Tian Qiu while walking.

When the group of them were gone, Tian Qiu said, "We must find a chance to rescue them. Otherwise, they may not live long."

Yu Yue came back to his senses and nodded heavily.

Thinking of the scene just now, I still couldn't help saying: "They are really too much. We must stop them."

[Bullet screen: ...Little brother is really not scared at all. 】

[Danmaku: To some extent, it's pretty cool! 】

[Barrage: It depends on the situation, cub, it's good to be able to protect yourself. 】

In the picture, Tian Qiu also turned his head in surprise: "Aren't you afraid?"

"It's useless to be afraid," Yu Yue shook his head, and walked towards the village. "We must try to clear the customs as soon as possible. Let's ask what happened first."

Seeing that he was neither panicked nor overwhelmed by anger, but got into the mood so quickly, Tian Qiu's slightly immature face showed a look of relief, and it didn't waste time, so he followed up.

According to what the old man said just now, the left side is the "working" area of ​​the Happy Family Guild.Being able to take sides with the hexagram monsters and ghosts, the environment of this dungeon is already much better than imagined.

Tian Qiu was in a good mood. As he walked, he talked to Yu Yue about the current situation: "Benefactor, confrontation dungeons are usually composed of guild members and non-guild members. Currently, there are three members of the Happy family in the dungeon, three members of the six-pointed star, and three non-guild members. There are six members in the guild. Two of these six have been eliminated, and four follow the six-pointed star. From the current situation alone, we are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but the benefactor need not worry."

"Three people?" Yu Yue paid attention to the number of people in the guild and paused.

"Yes." As if answering his words, a very gentle female voice sounded from the side.

Yu Yue followed the sound and saw a tall woman in a black narrow-sleeved cheongsam walking out from the side.She seemed to have suddenly appeared from a small village. The cheongsam on her body was beautiful and slim, the ingot collar lined her neck cutely, and a flower with delicate petals and thousands of threads was embroidered on the fishtail hem.

"Guild member, Ruyan Liu." The woman introduced herself softly while watching Yu Yue, then turned to Tian Qiu, "There is good news."

Tian Qiu nodded and looked at her, only to hear her say in a gentle and pleasant voice: "Just now I' asked the players who fell into the river what's going on 'below'. He answered me that there are all players under the water, There are also some unknown things, such as water plants, which can condense into a human form, and there are many floating human skins."

[Barrage: Let me go... Liu Ruyan is the big manager of Happy People, right?It's that super awesome psychic sister, right?A terrifying person who claimed that the more players eliminated in the arena, the more information he would get. 】

[Barrage: Yes, this time the happy people have also spent a lot of money, and all the people who appeared on the stage were pillars. 】

[Bullet screen: Judging from the psychic attribute, it should be a person specially arranged according to the content of the dungeon. 】

"Then where is the good news?" Tian Qiu asked while tugging at the rabbit's ears.

"The good news is that, halfway through my questioning, he left." Liu Ruyan said.

Tian Qiu was slightly taken aback.

Yu Yue could hear the conversation between the two in a blur. He stood aside and asked anxiously, "Is that the player who fell into the river at the beginning? Where did he go, and he is still alive to chat with you?" "

Liu Ruyan turned around, nodded and explained to Yu Yue: "I am a psychic, and I can deal with the dead. He left without saying goodbye halfway through the conversation with me, maybe it means..."

"—It means he is still alive!" Yu Yue became more energetic.

"It's possible. But how does he live underwater? It seems that this river and this village are really weird." Tian Qiu, who has always been confident, let out a "huh" now, playing with his rabbit ears and lost in thought.

After a while, he said to the two of them: "Forget it, you won't come to us just by standing there with the answer. Then, as President Yu Yue said, let's go to the village and ask what happened. There is no way to escape this step. You all pay attention to safety, run if you find something is wrong, and call if you have something to do."

Hearing Tian Qiu's special emphasis on "President Yu Yue", Liu Ruyan smiled clearly, and said very politely: "Listen to the president."

On the other hand, Yu Yue was very embarrassed, he paused for a while and couldn't answer, so he only responded.

Just do it, everyone is not a newcomer, Yu Yue and Tian Qiu immediately split up and entered the small village; Liu Ruyan turned around and walked towards the river bank because of his special skills.

"Hey, the boss of the boat is here!"

"Where is where?"

As the old man said, the people in the village are very hospitable.

"Is it the new boat boss?" Someone asked, "Great, after the accidents of the previous boat bosses, we thought no one would dare to come? Can you help my family send a Chinese cabbage to the river god?"

"Hey, have you eaten yet? Why don't you come to my house to eat some pasta? Hey, last time the boss of the boat refused to eat before leaving. We didn't even eat the last meal. We all feel guilty." Humane too.

"Don't scare people," a woman squeezed in, rarely speaking humanly, "The boss of this boat is so cute? How can we send things to the river god if you scare them away? Let me tell you, the things you send are too bad to enter the river. God’s eyes have only cheated the first few ship bosses.”

Yu Yue: "..."

[Barrage: Are these villagers okay? ? 】

[Barrage: Say the most poisonous things in the most enthusiastic tone, right?I'm also wondering if they're cross-dressing. 】

Fortunately, Yu Yue was in a good mood and was not affected.

From the words of the villagers, he judged that his main task was to send the "correct sacrifice" prepared by the villagers to the river god.

This matter is definitely not as simple as he imagined, just like the starry sky gift and sugared tomato juice in the previous dungeon, the conditions required in this A-level dungeon must be more complicated.

It's complicated. With the customs clearance experience in the last dungeon, Yu Yue's thinking is clear this time. He didn't rush to agree, but said to the villagers very seriously: "I just came here, and I don't know what to do. , please give me a moment to understand, okay?"

The villagers looked at me and looked at you, all showing disappointed expressions.

But they quickly nodded in understanding: "Okay, okay."

Then, it dispersed with a "hula".

Yu Yue was more sensitive to the stiffness in their movements.

He remembered this in his heart, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a woman standing in the corner looking at him as if he had seen a ghost.The moment their eyes met, the woman quickly hid in the house behind her and closed the door with a "bang".

……strangeness.

He hesitated for a moment, looked around, and walked forward alone, knocking on the door.

No one answered at the door, so he leaned close to the door to listen.

"Wow... wow..."

A child's cry could be heard faintly inside.

The cry was very weak, but it could be heard very shrill, as if he was completely frightened, and Yu Yue was suffocated when he heard it.

He raised his hand again and knocked on the door.

The cries of the children inside seemed to become more distant, but otherwise there was no movement.

An ominous premonition rose in Yu Yue's heart. He leaned closer to the door and listened more attentively.

"looking at what?"

"!"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded from behind him, which made him turn around suddenly and jumped up.

A cold sweat broke out.

But in front of him was a suspicious old man, leaning on crutches, looking at him like a thief.After looking at him for a while, he suddenly sneered and said, "Hey, it's the boss of the boat again. I know you guys will turn into turtles when you get in the water. The last one can't do it, and this one can't do it either. Look at you trembling How can you get fresh sacrifices for the river god?"

After he finished criticizing Yu Yue, he glanced at the door again, and said loudly, pointingly: "I think some people are just dishonest. When they see the boss of the boat coming, they wish they could give away all their belongings. Some people Why, close your own door too tightly! I just said that there must be something wrong with people's hearts if there is no good harvest for so many years!"

He turned around and leaned on his crutches loudly.

what is this...

Everyone in this village has their own weirdness, Yu Yue couldn't figure it out for a while.

Just when he was about to look around for clues again, the door behind him that had been waiting for a long time suddenly clicked open, leaving nothing behind him, and he fell straight backwards.

Just like that, he stumbled backwards into the compound, Yu Yue turned his head, met eyes with the pale woman, and instantly choked on his breath.

[Barrage: Ahhh, it's scary! 】

[Barrage: Are the people in this village a little sick?No matter how people are neither humans nor ghosts. 】

[Bullet screen: It's really nagging. It's like this in advanced books. Everyday trivial things can easily make players lose their mental value... Without any strong skills, it's not easy to find clues in this state. 】

Indeed, the sudden appearance of human voices behind, the sudden opening of the door, and the crying of children are all common horror elements, but when these elements are connected in series to one thing, coupled with the duplicity of the villagers' attitudes, the horror is greatly increased. It is especially easy to make some players who already have a lot of thoughts fall into tension.

"I'm really sorry," the pale woman in the picture said stiffly and embarrassedly, "I just heard you knock on the door, but, but the house is still noisy, so I didn't have time to open the door for you—oh, so Speaking of which, our family hasn't prepared a gift for the River God yet, please bear with me."

From what he said, it seemed that Yu Yue had come to rob their house.

Yu Yue was still slowly recovering from being caught off guard twice, but he also understood what the woman said.

He took a deep breath, waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we will talk when you are ready."

The woman then smiled at him: "Yes, we have to wait until we are ready."

Her voice was dry and soft.

Yu Yue suddenly felt something strange.

Suddenly, he realized that the child's cry just now could not be heard at all, it was too quiet here.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bloodstain next to the wellhead by the courtyard wall.

Yu Yue: "!"

His body stiffened suddenly, as if being held down by a pair of big hands, numb from the heel to the back of the head.He forced himself to calm down, moved his five fingers, and confirmed that the control of his body was still in his hands, then he wobbled and took a step outside the door, swallowed lightly and said, "If there is nothing else, I will..."

"Boss of the ship!" Seeing his actions, the woman seemed to be stimulated, and suddenly took a step forward, staring at him and asked: "Did you hear something just now?"

The hairs all over Yu Yue's body were about to explode, he didn't know whether to say "yes" or "no".

Because the only thing he heard was the cry of the child.

[Barrage: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh> 】

[Barrage: The A-level dungeon may trigger the death point at any time, little brother, come on!Be vigilant! 】

It was useless to be vigilant, Yu Yue was already too vigilant, but he was still trapped here.

He saw that the woman was a little weird, so he asked in a comforting voice, "What voice are you talking about?"

The woman smiled nervously, her rough hair trembled slightly in the wind, her lips opened and closed: "Of course it's the cry of my child."

Yu Yue shivered all over.

The woman's sharp eyes immediately fell on him.

She saw it.

Yu Yue thought to himself, but didn't speak.

The woman's eyebrows are actually very good-looking, the eyebrows are like thin willows, and the tip of the eyes is very long. At this moment, she looks like some kind of ghost.She put away the sharp light in her eyes, and spoke softly: "My child is ignorant, it scares you. In order to express my apology, please rest here. I will take you to meet my child first. face, okay?"

Yu Yue's eyes almost went dark.

He forced himself to calm down again, and said in a low voice: "It's like this, I'm not angry about this matter. As for rest... I still have to find work, and I need to pick up and deliver goods, maybe next time—"

"Don't you want to see him?" The woman interrupted Yu Yue.

A gust of wind blew by, and the courtyard door behind Yu Yue made a creaking sound and slowly closed.

For some reason, Yu Yue had a strong premonition that at this moment, he could not express his refusal, otherwise something very terrible would happen.

Thinking that the child was crying so badly just now, and there might be something hidden in it, Yu Yue finally struggled a bit.

After a while, he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, since you insist, I'll go see him."

The woman showed a more perfect smile, turned and led the way.

And the mouth in the courtyard also suddenly made a "crash", like a river surging.

"Crash"...

A bloody hand climbed to the shore.

Then, a bloody figure climbed up.

A small crab with only one claw hangs from the figure's arm.The little crab shook a few times, climbed down, and "Gululu" rolled on the ground.

Xia Jie reached out and grabbed the little crab.

He was aching all over his body, and he knew very well that his skin was gone from top to bottom, and he was bleeding all over, and the cold river water mixed into his blood, covering his bones, body fluids and internal organs-but he didn't die .

It was this little mechanical crab that kept pushing against his chest that made him feel it and climbed up.

He vaguely remembered that this little crab was created by the pincers summoned by that boy.The machine has no thoughts of its own, it has been following him, it must be because its master—that is, the boy has a strong desire to save himself.

The help of the Happy Family Guild and the Hexagram Guild...

This was something he dared not intervene when he was "alive".

Xia Jie thought coldly in his heart.

Anyway, he is destined to be unable to pass the level in this dungeon, so it is better to let him play the role he can play.

He stretched out his hand to let go of the little crab, and sent the little crab back into the river. Although he couldn't see anything in front of him, he had heard a lot of voices at the bottom of the river. He could hear where the large troops were going, and he could also judge the puppet master. trend.

So little by little, relying on his perseverance, he climbed to the right side of the village.

……

"Here we are." The woman led Yu Yue through the back hall and came to the door of a house that looked like a woodshed.

The house was chained and locked from the outside.

The woman took out the key from the clothes, opened the lock, and pushed the door open. The inside of the door was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly, only a cloud of dust danced wildly in the air because of the woman's movements.

"He just likes to stay here." The woman gave an explanation that didn't count as an explanation. When she entered the room, she pushed the window open from the inside.

The gray light finally illuminated the room.

Yu Yue, who was standing at the door, could barely see what was going on.This is a room piled with a lot of weeds. At this time, a small black figure is sitting in the middle of the grass, like a small animal sitting in a nest.

After his eyes got used to the darkness, he realized that it was a five or six-year-old boy, all tied up with straw ropes, with a toy little tiger in his mouth, looking at him coldly.

"He was born in the Year of the Tiger, and he really likes this toy." The woman gave another meaningless explanation.

Yu Yue felt cold in his heart.

Is it a question of what toys you like?

What are you tying people up here for?

He swallowed lightly, let out an "um", and tried to say hello to the little boy: "Hello..."

The little boy still looked at him coldly.

"Why are you so impolite?" The woman walked over and patted the weeds beside the boy. "This is the new boat boss, and he may be the one who will take you to see Brother River God in the future."

Hearing these words, Yu Yue was shocked, and he couldn't help saying: "What did you say?"

[Barrage: Don't ask!Run with the information, the point of death has come out! 】

[Barrage: Ahhh, this woman has a problem! 】

[Bullet screen: I knew I was going to send a child, but I didn't expect that there would be an npc so protective...]

In a blind spot of Yu Yue's vision, where the live viewers could see, a woman was holding an ax under the weeds.

While grabbing the little tiger in the boy's mouth, she whispered to the little boy: "Mom, let the boat boss come over, and then you guys say hello, you know? He will give you to the river god to eat... "

The woman turned her back to Yu Yue and gave the boy a threatening look.

The boy looked coldly and shook his head.

The woman's movements stopped and her eyes turned cold, as if she was not ready to persuade the boy anymore.

She let go of the ax, turned around and said to Yu Yue: "Just now I was afraid that he would make noise, so I tied him up, but now the rope can't be untied. Can you come over and help me?"

Yu Yue hesitated for a moment, then looked at the little boy.

But the little boy shook his head.

This action inevitably made Yu Yue stunned. He originally suspected that women were bad for little boys, so it seems that this matter is almost inseparable.

It's one thing not to see it, but now that he sees it, he can't refuse to save him. He can only meditate in his heart, summon a lost and recovered wrench from his hand, and then slowly walk into the house.

Beside the little boy, the woman clenched the handle again.

Yu Yue walked to a place two or three steps away from the boy and stopped, this time he asked the woman tentatively: "What do you mean by what you said just now, do you mean that you want to give this child to the River God as a gift? Where did this child come from?" ?”

The woman was already nervous, worried that Yu Yue would grab the child, and immediately annoyed when she heard this, "Where else did it come from! Of course it came out of my stomach!"

It turned out to be his own child!

Yu Yue couldn't help feeling even more angry, he couldn't understand this mother.

No matter how terrible the river god is, he can't send his own child out.

However, since it is his own child, there may be room for persuasion.

So he took another step forward, looked at the boy, then at the woman.

The woman closed her eyes, hiding the fierce light in her eyes, and gradually pulled out the handle of the ax with five fingers.

"I can understand your reverence for the God of the River," Yu Yuesheng said slowly, afraid of irritating the mother, "I also want to dedicate good things to the God of the River in exchange for good weather—this is what is said in the stories. But I think it’s something that needs to be done.”

"Well," the woman said, "how can I do what I can?"

"For example, some well-grown cabbages and fruits, even pork, are fine." Yu Yue said.

woman:"???"

Cabbage fruit, pork?

Then the river god got angry and threw them all away?

She didn't quite understand the thinking of the boat boss, but that didn't stop her from thinking that Yu Yue deserved to die.

This conversation was so boring, the woman stood up suddenly, and was about to swing the ax with her right hand, but she heard Yu Yue say——

"No matter how difficult it is, you can't send your own child!"

The woman opened her mouth with a "click", shook her hand, and the ax fell to the ground with a "clang".
