Returning from the abyss

Chapter 124 Tracing the Origin
Lu Ning also relayed what she heard at the thatched cottage to several teammates, and by the way, talked about the solutions they prepared.

"Finding someone to exchange blood is indeed a way of thinking, but...who should I look for?"

Shu Xingruo hesitated about that solution.

"There are always damned people." Lu Ning knew where Shu Xingruo's hesitation came from, "We don't need to make sacrifices in this regard."

When she proposed this plan, Lan Ying and the people who were in the same cell with her were listed in her inner list.Lu Ning didn't have the slightest psychological burden to kill anyone there, even though she didn't know those people at all.

"Fairy Tale Paradise?"

When Lu Ning told the four people the information, Ye Tisi was the first to respond.

"That group of psychopathic and antisocial lunatics were actually met by us?"

"Not us, but everyone in this scene. I saw four, who knows if there will be others?"

"They can do anything." Ye Tisi frowned when she mentioned this, "Most of them take pleasure in killing tourists and characters in the scene, and death will drag everyone to die together Crazy. They can say that they don't spare their lives at all, and this kind of people, among other things, have a really high criminal IQ..."

"There's no need to praise a group of scum like this." Mo Lian patted Yetisi on the shoulder, "We won't just wait for them to come and kill us."

"Well well, at least now is not the time to worry about that."

Swimming upstream along the stream, they came to a huge cave entrance. The sound of water came from the depths of the cave, and the gurgling water under their feet flowed out of it.

The problem now is the lack of means of lighting.

"This place is too humid, otherwise we can find a way to catch fire."

Mo Lianren found a few places with withered grass nearby, but they were all damp, and they obviously couldn't be used as fire starters. They used wooden sticks and straw ropes to make two torches, but they were still a little damp.

"It's enough to start a fire anyway, right?"

Su Zhilan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Do you have a solution?"

"It's not a solution... After all, I have no knowledge, and I haven't gained any power here."

Su Zhilan picked up a stone from the ground, smashed it open and picked out a sharper piece from the middle, rolled up her sleeves, and turned to look at Lu Ning.

"Curse this kind of thing, you said just now that you are full of energy, right? Rotten blood can stimulate the potential of the body. This is the energy rule of this world, right?"

"No—wait a minute." Yetisi immediately realized what she was going to do, and hurriedly reached out to stop her, "There are not one thousand but eight hundred systems that use curses and negative energy as sources of power, including fire, burning and dryness. There are too many tricks, you can't try it."

Although the distribution center provides various ways of using energy in various worlds under various energy rules, there is no general rule, so most people still choose to enter the world and learn in it.However, there are still a small number of people who will learn something in advance, hoping to hit the big luck and be able to deceive the world they will enter in the future.

"Then what can you do? You seem to know more than me." Su Zhilan ignored Ye Tisi's kindness and cut the wound on her arm with a stone.

The blood flowed out, and the color was darker at night, and it was even doubtful whether this was the color of decay.

"Cursed blood, dark nights, closed mountains, hunting ghosts... If only one item is too broad, I should add some more. You should be glad that this is not a magical worldview, which helped me rule out one A lot of useless options..."

Su Zhilan began to draw small patterns on a large stone with blood.

The first fails.

The second still fails.

third fourth……

Seeing that she was about to slap herself again, Ye Tisi and Shu Xingruo held her back from left to right.

"If it doesn't work if you try it, forget it!" Shu Xingruo cut a piece of fabric from the clothes inside, and wrapped it around Su Zhilan's wound.

"This method is all about luck! What are you obsessed with!" Yetisi put her hand on the stone and said angrily, "Ancient ghost poses, spirit spells, fear runes, exorcism spells—— I know what you're using! It's useless! They don't exist in this world, so they don't have any effect!"

Su Zhilan remained silent.

"You try to use human methods to do what a machine can do, just like using exhaustive methods to find the password for an eight-digit combination lock!"

"It's no use arguing here."

Lu Ning interrupted Ye Tisi's words in a cold voice.

"I don't want to be useful at this time, let alone get myself covered in bruises now. Let's go in in the dark, even if there is any danger, I will stand in front."

"I'm with you." Mo Lianren stood up, picked up a wooden stick and handed it to her, and the two walked into the cave together, beating the ground.

Lu Ning knew what the problem was.

Su Zhilan is a pessimist, unlike Lu Ning herself who thinks about the worst situation and then actively targets it, Su Zhilan will really get into a corner because of certain things, and then fall into negative emotions and cannot get out.

Such incidents in the distribution centers are relatively rare, and they are relatively short-lived, but Lu Ning can also observe them.

In addition, Su Zhilan was not the person who should have come.

Her first score and second score were both at the level of [-] to [-], which was not low at first, but after being forcibly pulled to a higher level by Shu Xingruo, she gradually couldn't keep up.Her growth rate is also very fast, but it is not as good as those who can get more than [-] every time. A few people in a room usually avoid this point deliberately most of the time, but this time the early team formation is completely exposed. To overcome her lack of strength.

Each of this group of people is an outstanding player with an average of more than [-] per game. For them, who can play in a temporary team, it is easier to cooperate with them in advance.However, to Su Zhilan, she was like a student with a medium level of study sitting among a group of top academics. She explained a few definitions and formulas and everyone expressed their understanding, but she herself was still in a daze.

If it's an ordinary person, it's fine if you don't want to hug your thighs.

But Su Zhilan wanted to be useful.

Lu Ning's hands sank slightly, and the wooden stick sank a little.

"It's muddy ahead, pay attention to your balance."

She reminded her and continued to beat the road ahead with a wooden stick.

Shu Xingruo probably forced her to be promoted because of this, otherwise, with her character, there is little hope of participating in the promotion.

But that's not necessarily true.

"There is wind, this underground cave is still connected to the outside." Mo Lianren's voice came from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ning saw the light spot.

Some moss covered the damp stones of the cave, glowing faintly.It wasn't much at first, but as she gradually walked inside, more moss covered her feet, sides, and even the roof of the cave. The light from them even made her no longer need to use a wooden stick to find out the way ahead .

"Hey... is it true?" Mo Lianren couldn't help but let out a sigh.

After turning a narrow passage, what appeared in front of me was a dreamlike scene.

Under the blue-white light emitted by the glowing moss, low houses built purely of bones, sandstone and shells surround a body of water.And the water in the lake is shining with a pale golden light, because the water is running water, the golden light is still swaying waves on the water surface regularly, and the shape of the whole lake looks like a crescent moon from a distance.

"Moon Lake..."

When Shu Xingruo pulled Su Zhilan in, she also froze.

If such a lake can't be called Moon Lake, then I really don't know what else can be called it.

"There's no one in those little houses..."

Lu Ning was the first one to come back to her senses. The combination of the fluorescent lights in the air and the pale golden lake water had a magical appeal, which made people involuntarily immerse themselves in it. Fortunately, she still remembered some important things.

"no one there?"

Mo Lian was pulled back from the confusion by her words, walked to one of the huts and looked inside the shell door, but there was indeed no one.

Speaking of which, these huts are not big, although it is only described as a house because of the shape, in fact it is more like a tent, or an enlarged version of a pet house.

"I think it's better to be more vigilant."

Yetisi was the last to walk in. She was completely unaffected by the scenery, but instead had a vigilant look on her face.

"how?"

"In the settlements that have entered the civilized stage, the use of unprocessed or roughly processed bones to make important buildings such as houses and totems rather than as decorations represents to a certain extent the aggressiveness and hostility of this race. Here is a line behind us. Passage, if the residents here come back, we are afraid that we will be wiped out."

She walked quickly to a room and took a look inside.

"There are already basic characters and pictures, and the information records are coherent rather than fragmented. The progress of civilization here is not bad. It stands to reason that such a small place should not be described by the word civilization, but their The living habits are obviously different from those bloodthirsty lunatics outside."

Shu Xingruo walked to the edge of the lake, squatted down and looked into the lake.That pale golden light was rippling under the lake, but the water flowing out from here to form a stream didn't have any spots of light at all.

At this moment, she saw a pair of eyes in the water, also looking at her.

"There are people in the water!"

She stood up abruptly, and a sticky, webbed hand yanked from where she had been just now, splashing some water on her at the same time.

"They are the inhabitants of the water!"

Even if it was only for this moment, Shu Xingruo could clearly see the appearance of the attacker.

It has a flat head, eyes with no eyelids like fish bubbles on both sides, silver scales all over its body, and a fish tail trailing behind.

However, it was indeed a humanoid creature, no matter how weird it was, Shu Xingruo could still hear it whispering when it returned to the bottom of the water.

It was more pleasant than any sound of nature I had ever heard.
