Returning from the abyss

Chapter 129 Hunter's Cabin
Mo Xiren was looking for traces through the bushes, but Lu Ning was lost in thought.

It's really... too weird.

It stands to reason that even if so many people fled in all directions, they should leave some marks to explain where they went. It is understandable to abandon the dead, but is this really the mountain forest that I visited last night?

Looking at the unchanging scenery around her, Lu Ning had some doubts.

Now that it has been proven that there is a curse here, it is not impossible for ghosts to hit the wall and the like.Lu Ning also couldn't guarantee that the continuous mountains would not "move".

After continuing to walk for a while, a simple wooden house appeared in the forest.

"The wood has begun to rot, the door..."

Lu Ning reached out to touch the handle of the door, which already had several holes, but heard a soft sound, and she tore down the entire wooden door.

"So light."

"It's rotten, it seems that no one has been to this place for a long time." Mo Xiren probed into the room, and was immediately smoked by a damp smell with a rotten smell.

There are still some decorations in the room, a bed, a set of tables and chairs, a wooden shelf, and a large wooden box.Only the wooden box inside is not badly rotted because it was painted with oil, and everything else collapsed at the first touch.

Lu Ning approached the wooden box, checked it and found that it was not locked, so she lifted the lid vigorously.

What she saw made her eyes light up.

A black lacquered crossbow was placed on top of several oilcloth wraps, and several cloth balls were thrown around.She took out the tarpaulin and opened it, and found inside were well-preserved crossbow strings, a pack of twenty bone crossbow bolts, a crescent dagger, a pack of tools for maintaining and modifying crossbows, and four sealed bottles. Medicines in small clay pots.

"What did you find?" Mo Xiren outside the room asked her.

"Good stuff... don't there are many huts like this on the mountain?"

Lu Ning took out the crossbow from the box, took out tools to tighten the bowstring, and fixed it on her right arm with two iron rings.

"It's a very delicate weapon, but I don't know why it was thrown here."

"Have you found the weapon? Then we can leave this place, right? It's more important to find someone."

"Wait, I don't know what these bottles of medicine are for."

Lu Ning unscrewed the jars and found that two jars contained white and green ointment, and the other two jars contained blue and lavender powder.

"Eighty percent of it is poison or wound medicine. Don't people hunting in the mountains have to prepare some?"

"No...the hunters here are not ordinary people." Lu Ning looked at the four cans of medicine with great interest, and the amount in them was not much. If it was really a large-demand item, she would not use this method. stored.

She pulled out a larger oilcloth and packed all the things she needed, then walked out of the house.

"I didn't find any leftover information, did I? This place is probably used to obtain some self-defense weapons, but how useful are weapons?"

"Then I might as well tell you that another hunter's cabin was found last night. Not to mention weapons, there is also a hunter's notebook."

After hearing this, Mo Xiren's expression relaxed a little.

"So these huts are also hints left to us?"

"Otherwise, why am I searching so carefully? Although these weapons may not be very useful, they are better than having no resistance in hand."

As Lu Ning said, she pulled some vines to wrap up the pockets and straddled her body.Mo Xiren was not interested in weapons, but the news of the hunter's diary moved her a little.

"After we find my sister, we can search the mountains. Since we can find two, there may be more than one. It will be better if we can piece together some of the background here."

"before this……"

Lu Ning stringed a crossbow arrow and pointed it at Mo Xiren.

"Should you have something to say to me?"

The expression on Mo Xiren's face froze.

After a while, the worry, anxiety, and bewilderment in her expression had completely disappeared.

"I do not quite understand you."

"To be honest, from the first time I saw you... I didn't trust you very much. Do you still remember that villa? Nine of you survived at that time. This number far exceeded my expectations, but you only Tell me it's because of 'good luck', 'coward' did not search carefully, and let the ghost kill for seven days."

"uh-huh?"

"Cheng Wuling also talked about her thinking at the time, right? Although it is unbelievable, it is indeed feasible, and I can't find any flaws, but isn't it a big problem on your side?"

"Because there are nine people, right?" Mo Xiren sighed, not the slightest fear of the arrow in front of him, but smiled instead. "I thought that at that time most people were too scared to take care of so many things. I didn't expect that some people would think about it carefully. But then again, leaving such an obvious loophole is to see who else really It's just that they have 'literacy'."

"Since even these past events have to be concealed, your credibility is really very low. I have never completely believed anything anyone said, and as for you, I don't believe it at all. Are you alone? No weapons? Still Can you wander around the mountain like this leisurely? Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

"You are wrong." Mo Xiren smiled, "This is a basic test for strangers. In order to test your 'literacy', I have to pretend to be like an ordinary person who is easily influenced by words and the environment. , there’s nothing wrong with that, right? Being able to find loopholes at least proves that your observation and thinking skills won’t be intimidated by the environment here.”

"Oh? So what's next? Is it another test?"

"You are really sharp." Mo Xiren's smile became even brighter, "After the test against strangers, of course it is against teammates who fought side by side! You are right!"

She swung her arm violently, and a jet-black whip shot out from her cuff, slamming at Lu Ning, and Lu Ning was already prepared, so she didn't waste time shooting arrows, but directly stepped back a few steps , avoiding the attack range of the whip.

"It's so strange that you and my naive and stupid sister can get along well, but you can see through my disguise all at once."

Mo Xiren missed a single blow and did not pursue. The whip in her hand fell to the ground and even made a shallow mark. It was a long black whip with a crystal clear transparent crystal on the tip. Too much grooming, but clearly well maintained.

"Probably because of the natural aura incompatibility between people. So you are lying when you say that you are not good at fighting?"

"Ah... that's not it, it's a lie, it's easier to tell the truth if it's eight out of eight."

As Mo Xiren spoke, she shook her wrist, and the whip came back and wrapped around her wrist like a flexible snake. Then, she opened her left hand, stuck it on the whip, and wiped it slowly.

The strange blue flame burned on the black whip, this sight made Lu Ning's pupils shrink slightly.

"Indeed, as you said, there are some hunter's huts scattered in this mountain, but there are not as many as you think. There are only five in total. If you say they are conspicuous, they all seem to be quite conspicuous. The one Shu Xingruo found is probably the most The worthless one, right? Just a bunch of useless weapons and a useless broken book."

The blue flame whip made a loud sound in the air, as if in a demonstration.

"The value you found is considered low. In fact, I have patronized the two houses that are really valuable. Even if you look for it now, it's useless, haha."

"Where did you learn your blue fire?"

"Hunter's cabin, wasn't I just talking to you?" Mo Xiren let out a big laugh, "How on earth did you guys survive so many testing grounds? The first time we encountered an enemy with no superpowers. For a while, shouldn’t you search for ways to learn superpowers first? Even if you are participating in a battle royale, people will immediately think of finding weapons to protect themselves instead of finding someone to fight? So it seems that I have not entrusted everything to you, right? Was it the right decision?"

"You... you really didn't say anything."

"Well, it's fake—of course, from my sister's point of view, it should be real. You have to know that it's not easy to pretend."

"The only person you hate?"

"It's the chief culprit who caused our deaths. A fool like my sister will believe it. After all, who doesn't hate the murderer who killed himself? I'm not very happy, but my sister failed to protect us. It's really disappointing... Fortunately, since God gave me a second chance, I might as well give her a second chance... Is it too much? You have to understand, people have too many things in their hearts, and they have to find time to talk about it.”

Mo Xiren drew a circle in the air with a whip, and the flame stayed in the air, burning in a circle shape. Immediately, the scene in the circle gradually blurred, as if it had become a frosted mirror.

"By the way, you can tell my sister this, and you can repeat the original sentence to see if she believes you or me. Don't worry, I don't like to kill people with my hands. I just don't like people who are incapable. Just follow me all the time. If you are not convinced, try to come to me, my progress is far ahead of you!"

After saying this, she stepped into the circle of fire and disappeared.

Lu Ning watched helplessly as the flame quickly disappeared in the air, but there was nothing she could do.

"The progress... is far ahead of us? Strange... Then she came back to the mountain village... So there must be something worth going back there! And she doesn't want me to know?"

Although there were still some doubts, Lu Ning immediately grasped the key to Mo Xiren's current actions.

"It was an accident that she met me, so she needed to let me leave the mountain village. Judging from her willingness to spend time acting with me along the way, she didn't care about wasting this time. It was because she had plenty of time or the time was not up. Now with the help of this teleportation method, She must have gone back to the village to do what she just did."

Even so, it cannot be ruled out that Mo Lianren deliberately made her think this way.

Lu Ning knew that she couldn't hesitate now, first of all, go back to the mountain village to see the situation first!
