Returning from the abyss

Chapter 134 Timeline

When the warmth of the sun spread over the ground, Lu Ning walked out of the cave first. She took off the bandage on her hand, and the wound had begun to scab under the action of herbs. Here come a pair of black leather gloves.

Turning his head, he could see Ning Yeyi's concerned expression.

"The inside is made of pure cotton, and it is breathable, which can protect the wound and make it easier for you to move."

"How many pairs of gloves do you bring?" Lu Ning took it with a smile, and put on the gloves. Although they are made of leather, they have very good elasticity, and the softness inside will not touch the wound, which is obviously a high-end product.

"Let's decipher the habit of hobbies, I will bring several spare pairs." Ning Yeyi patted his stuffed pockets, obviously there are still many in them.

"Did we faint? Are we back to daylight?"

Tu Men walked out with a few people shoulder to shoulder, obviously in good spirits, everyone lost consciousness after the red light appeared last night, just like what Lu Ning had experienced before.And it turns out that Murloc Cave can indeed prevent time reset.

"Now we can go back to the village to vote again?" Deng Wei was gearing up, and couldn't help but make good use of the huge advantage brought by the time reset.However, at this moment Zhao Chenshuang walked up to them and said, "I think it's time for us to discuss the issue of action."

"Yes."

Chen Fangyu was more stable, and he immediately understood what Zhao Chenshuang meant.

"We have been taken care of, now you have to decide whether to take us, don't you?"

"The decision rests with you—but what I must tell you in advance is that once you decide to stay, you must fully obey our orders, and you must not violate them in the slightest until the end of this test."

Chen Fangyu's eyes turned around on everyone, and finally fell on Zhao Chenshuang.

"There are so many of you?"

"We will first reach an agreement within the team."

"That's it..." The man thought for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "Sorry, I still have teammates, I have to find them, I will remember your kindness, but I will definitely give priority to my teammates."

Zhao Chenshuang nodded, sideways, out of the way.

"You are the captain to make such a decision, I respect your intention, then please leave now."

After Chen Fangyu thanked Lu Ning and the others one by one, he left in a hurry with his three companions.

The rest were Deng Wei, the three of them, and the young man who was locked up with Tumen.

"There are only three of us. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to pass this unlucky promotion test. Maybe I can get to the second rank if I mix with you? Haha, it depends on whether you accept people like me, old Deng." Deng Wei On the contrary, he was very open-minded, and his two brothers also meant the same thing.

The young man finally opened his mouth tremblingly: "I'll go with you! I want to live! I want to rise to the second level! I definitely don't want to go back!"

There seems to be some story behind such a violent reaction.Lu Ning and several companions looked at each other, but did not ask any questions. Zhao Chenshuang then asked their names and strengths.

Deng Wei's two brothers are named Xu Hu and Luo Zhibin. The three are wild survival enthusiasts. Their skills are actually quite useful for everyone who wants to live in the mountains.The young man's name was Yu Yi. He claimed to be a fast runner and had practiced gymnastics. Other than that, everyone in the distribution center would practice some fighting skills.

After getting to know each other formally, just as Zhao Chenshuang was about to speak, there was movement in the woods not far away.

Cheng Wuling slowly walked over from the downstream direction, her clothes were still straight, although a little dirty, it didn't affect the whole.Seeing her, several people breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

"How did you find us?" Su Zhilan waved her hand and asked a little puzzled.

"Water channel—we'll talk about this later." Cheng Wuling reached out and scratched her hair. This action made the cold feeling she had just disappeared immediately.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."

==========================
After eating a little jerky and drinking some water, Cheng Wuling took the initiative to speak without waiting for others to ask questions.

"We first sort out the issues of time and space."

She broke off a branch, and began to draw neat and thin characters on the moist soil beside the stream.

[06:30 in the evening - 07:30 (prison escape) - around [-] o'clock (hunting) - [-] o'clock (time freeze) - rebound at [-] o'clock (correct time) - morning]

"That's where all the key moments we've had so far last week happened. And then there's the rules."

Cheng Wuling blanked out a line and continued writing.

[[-]. The reset is for all creatures and items. Although the rebound occurs in the red moon, the underground cell will still be reset even if it cannot be illuminated by the red moonlight. That is to say, it is not a condition that it cannot be illuminated by the moonlight.

[-]. The dead will not be reset, and the corpse will remain at the place where it died, but for some unknown reason, the rate of decay will be accelerated.

[-]. Caves with Moon Lake can avoid resetting, but you will still faint when resetting occurs.

[-]. People who avoid resetting by the above methods will not reset the items on their body. 】

Lu Ning and the others looked at these and fell into thought.

No one asked how these were verified, because guessing and guessing that process is definitely not very beautiful.

"Then there is the problem of space. First of all, there should be a mountain in this mountain range that is empty. I did a waterway map and a contour simulation based on the nearby waterways, and then re-analyzed the location of the mountain in the mountains based on the known positions of several Moon Lake caves. Based on the situation of the water veins, the conclusion is that the locations of these caves should be at the same altitude."

"Wait...wait! The same altitude, doesn't that mean..." Lu Ning naturally understood what this meant.

"They are very likely to be the same piece of water—not connected by streams and rivers above the ground, but connected by veins through the ground. Like a row of test tubes connected below, the water level will always remain the same."

"How did you infer the hollow mountain?" Zhao Chenshuang asked.

"If you can listen to the murloc songs to the end, the last sentence of them is 'When you are reborn and return to your mother's embrace, the eternal and illusory golden moon will forever protect the descendants who pray under the fluorescent lights'." Cheng Wu Ling said, "The so-called 'returning to the mother's embrace' means returning to their birthplace. Based on this information, I speculate that they must have a lair that cannot be entered through normal means. The most likely one is that they can only enter through underground water veins. A hollow underground lake in the mountains.”

"You can finish listening...you are amazing." Lu Ning was really convinced of this, at least her self-control was not enough to listen to the murloc's singing.

"The mountain village, the hunter's hut, the location where you met the pig-faced man, we need to confirm the latter two now, um... In the end, it's my personal speculation."

Cheng Wuling supported her hand slightly, and sat down on a big rock, and the branch quickly drew an arc in the air.

"First of all, the one who cast the curse here, let's call it 'god', this god threw a curse into this mountain for some reason, and then another god of the same level appeared, and their strength was equal, so This god could not lift the curse, he could only teach the villagers how to transfer the curse—this is the mountain village. But on the other side, another god gave birth to his offspring here, this one saw his two companions There are some crazy practices, fearing that their descendants will be treated in the same way, so they hide the secrets of their descendants..."

"Murloc?"

"Yes, just like the title of this task, the root of all logic and cause and effect here lies in blood, cursed blood, foreign blood, and god's blood." The branch in Cheng Wuling's hand pierced into it. ground.

"The foreign blood is called in different ways, which actually corresponds to the duality given by the gods. The villagers are cursed and the 'rotten blood' seems to us to be the 'clean blood'; as the descendants of the gods, the murlocs But because of unknown reasons, they lost the blessing of God and called themselves 'abandoned blood', but to the descendants of the gods, we are still 'wandering blood' without God. So now there is still a problem."

A cartoon piggy appeared in the soil under Cheng Wuling's hands, and at some point there was a meaningful smile on her face.

"Pig-faced people—what do they call themselves? And what do they think of us?"

"Is this... very important?"

Chu Jianting had never seen such a battle, and for a moment he didn't understand why Cheng Wuling paid so much attention to this issue.

"Very important."

Lu Ning, Zhao Chenshuang, and Ning Yeyi spoke at the same time.

Chu Jianting looked at them.

"As Cheng Wuling said, we don't know how many gods are the root of all this..." Lu Ning is used to estimating according to the maximum number.

"There is a certain degree of corresponding relationship between the gods and the people here, and they have been managing behind the scenes." Zhao Chenshuang raised the corner of his mouth.

"This involves the number of final bosses we have to deal with when we want to eradicate the blood disaster, as well as our strategies for how to lure them out." Ning Yeyi curled the hair on the side of her ear with her fingers, and said directly her Greatest ambition.

"Hey...that's...God..." Listening to their words, Deng Wei began to wonder if it was the right decision to follow these people.

"Gods are just names for the convenience of distinguishing. Yes, they cast curses, set up restricted areas, manipulate time, and hide their whereabouts. However, don't forget that the gods of the murlocs are dead or have disappeared. In short, they may be relatively A transcendent life is definitely not an irresistible creature, otherwise the last task would be meaningless."

Cheng Wuling had already put away her smile and resumed her indifferent expression.

"And all life will usher in an equal death."
