Returning from the abyss

Chapter 149
Should be dreaming now.

Lu Ning is quite sure of this point, at least the dream is not so deviant compared to reality, and there are not so many bizarre scenes.

She could feel her own heartbeat, as well as a strange resonance, sleeping somewhere in this mountain range.Some images are becoming clearer, while some faces are fading.

In the haze, she stood in front of the turtle and snake stone pillar halfway up the mountain again, a strange sense of security filled her surroundings, and a trace of active blood was burning in her body.

"It's completely polluted here."

Lu Ning turned her head abruptly, but she couldn't see any sounding people or creatures.

"The only one who can hear the echo is an accidental pure person like you, but it's a pity that you are not far away from falling again."

"Are you...the god? The god of the murlocs?" Lu Ning quickly thought of the other party's identity.

"My descendants can't convey it. The descendants of blood control the entire mountain range. The moon is fighting for that control. The beast is indifferent to the outside world... I have no other requirements, I just hope that you can make this mountain range return to peace."

"Is it to keep your descendants safe?"

"You have noticed."

Lu Ning's gaze returned to the step, and the abnormality she felt was clearly displayed in front of her eyes.

"I can only remind you, and I can't help you. Now...the transmission...has arrived..."

The voice became more and more ethereal until it disappeared into nothingness.

Then, Lu Ning woke up.

She was leaning against the damp cave wall, her poor sleeping position made her waist ache, and when she raised her hand, she found that there was a lot of glowing moss on it.

It was a sunny morning again.

In fact, it should have been a while, and the sound of metal impacting came from outside, as well as shouting from time to time.

After walking outside, Lu Ning saw familiar companions doing the final practice.

Chu Jianting was the fastest at mastering combat skills. After suffering a loss from Mo Xiren before, he became more silent and more focused.The curved dagger that Lu Ning used to use has now been given to him. Although Chu Jianting is good at using swords, as a person who specializes in combat, he must also be good at using various weapons.

The second was actually Su Zhilan.

She is not talented enough, but hard enough.A boring triggering technique can be practiced hundreds of times, and a cutting action also needs to be tested from various angles.And unlike Shu Xingruo and Ye Tisi who practiced a lot, Su Zhilan only practiced two basic catalysts, one was energy absorption, and the other was lightning strengthening.

"Good morning."

Shu Xingruo greeted Lu Ning with a wave.

Weapons have always been in short supply. Shu Xingruo and Yetisi used hatchets stolen from the village, which were powerful enough for chopping as an axe, but a bit clumsy.As for what Su Zhilan was holding was a meat cleaver, similar to the one I saw Lan Ying holding before.

Thanks to the villagers for their kindness.

Ning Yeyi didn't need to practice, so he went to the forest to find food.Lu Ning's body is now full of long-range attack methods, and the melee combat can be regarded as being put aside for the time being.

"How are you feeling?"

"It feels good to have power. Do you think you can solve this task today?" Shu Xingruo asked.

"Do your best, it's not an easy task."

Lu Ning experimented with drawing the gun twice, adjusted the position of the holster, and then carefully checked the parts of the hand crossbow to confirm that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Did you dream last night?"

"Yesterday? You woke up after returning to the morning." Yetisi was a little strange.

The coma time was timed by Cheng Wuling with a watch. Judging from the results of the watch, the watch did not pass for a minute after the red light shone on the ground at night until everyone woke up, so almost everyone woke up after the reset. up.

By the way, the rebound time should be nine o'clock in the morning based on the point at which the time freezes at ten o'clock in the evening as measured by the watch before—this is also carefully calculated by Cheng Wuling in the next day.

"Don't you think it's strange? In this way, we don't actually have a rest at all, but we don't feel tired."

Lu Ning found a topic.

"Yes, you will feel thirsty or hungry, but you won't be tired. Could it be that we have already rested during this period?" Yetisi also felt that this was a bit strange.

"But after all, this matter should be over. Things in the village need to be dealt with a little bit."

With more and more people successfully escaping, the mountain village will experience chaos every morning when they wake up. The safety of the hunter's hut does not mean that other places are safe.When these villagers are in a hurry, they will go a little deeper to find the blood bag that disappeared inexplicably.

However, looking at these villagers who caused a lot of trouble at the beginning, as long as they are not in groups, they are no longer a threat.

"This small place actually hides a lot of things."

If it wasn't for the mission reminder, Lu Ning would have managed to find the props of the dirty blood ceremony and exchange the blood on her body to escape at most. Not to mention the castle on the top of the mountain, she wouldn't even know about the pig-faced man.

After the morning exercise, when everyone was about to grill some fish that Ning Yeyi had brought back, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the forest.

More than a dozen people emerged from the forest, and the leader was Chen Fangyu. Behind him, Tumen was also on the line, and the two brothers Yu Yi and Deng Wei who were in the same cell as Tumen were also among them.

"I thought you would be here!" Seeing Lu Ning and others, Chen Fangyu heaved a sigh of relief, patted Tumen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I found it for you, they are all your teammates, right?" ?”

"Chen Fangyu?"

"We ran into brother Tu and brother Yu last night when we were going into the cave to take refuge. These two were also met earlier. Seeing that they had no memory and were hiding everywhere, we knew something had happened. You saved us, so we will also return You are a favor."

Chen Fangyu said with a smile.

"Fortunately, you still have people here, and now they are handed over to you."

"Thank you."

Lu Ning nodded and asked Tumen: "Maybe you understand the situation? Mo Xiren and Mo Lianren both have something to do, anyway, they don't have to worry about safety now."

"I know a little...can you tell me more about it?" Tu Men scratched his hair embarrassingly.

"You two over there, I also know Deng Wei's whereabouts. You should stay here and don't wander around. If we have time today, we will send you there to meet him. Finally... Yu Yi, are you planning to stay? "

"I'm with Brother Tu!" Yu Yi said hurriedly.

"Okay. Chen Fangyu, if you don't mind, I want to know about the movements of most of the tourists before."

Chen Fangyu nodded after thinking about this question.

A lot of people were rescued, but arming became a problem in this way.Although stealing agricultural tools from the village is considered a way, there are only a few who can touch it, and most of them still have no weapons.

At this time, a group of people claimed to have found another way to obtain weapons, and attracted many people with weapons to participate in the operation.In fact, these people also succeeded. They ransacked a pig-faced settlement, paid the price of more than 20 casualties, and brought back a large number of hunting weapons, food, and some strange decorations.

By using these resources to re-arm and find new villages to attack this cycle process, this group of people pulled up a team of nearly 200 people, and even some people who have the courage to wear a pig face mask can use blue fire to assist attack.With this foundation, these people from "yesterday" planned a large-scale attack on the village.

It is a pity that this attack failed under the attack of the sudden appearance of the elder hunter.

"The female armored hunter is very powerful. Any attack will not work on her, including divine spells. We haven't figured out what kind of ability it is from a distance. Another male hunter wearing a cloak appeared later, but A team of 12 people, including two people with pig faces, happened to meet and were killed without fighting back within 1 minute."

"Big Brother" and "Second Sister".

Lu Ning knew who these two people were, but because she didn't witness it with her own eyes, she still couldn't understand what the abilities of these two people were.

"Thank you for giving us so much information."

"I know it's good for me to tell you." Chen Fangyu smiled, "We don't have the ability to expose the behind-the-scenes, so let's do some side work to compensate for the points. If you can complete the group task, we are also expected to advance. "

When Lu Ning heard his words, she remembered something, and immediately asked, "Then would you like to do me a favor now?"

"what?"

"There is no need to take risks, but this should be very important to our actions... I can trust you, Brother Chen?"

Chen Fangyu looked at Lu Ning's serious expression, and nodded slowly.

================
At noon, Lu Ning finally found Zhao Chenshuang and others who were resting in a valley.

Deng Wei's two brothers had to be taken away by him, and the people who followed Zhao Chenshuang also looked tired. It seems that they have indeed traveled a lot in the past few days.

On the contrary, Zhao Chenshuang was very happy.

While conducting the mixed blood experiment this time, she also investigated the living habits of the pig-faced people.

The origin of these people is unknown, usually a dozen to twenty people form a small settlement, and they will find places to live in valleys or caves.Since the divine arts include long-distance communication techniques, their communication is not hindered too much.

Interestingly, only young and strong people are eligible to wear pig face masks.But it seems that everyone in the settlement can use magic.Another notable feature is that these pig-faced people retain some living habits of the matriarchal clan, and there are even no women in all small settlements.

"That woman..."

"Their living habits are similar to bees or ants, and of course the queen is not one." Zhao Chenshuang said that his eyes were shining, "We found a large cluster of valleys, can you imagine? There are hundreds of women in command There are about three times as many male pig-faced people, with a strict class and a very obvious division of labor. And the small settlements outside are more like worker bees or worker ants - part of the prey they hunt every day must be sent to the large settlement first, which is The reason why there were only a few pig-faced people around when we passed by that day!"

"But does this... have any meaning?"

Lu Ning was puzzled.

Zhao Chenshuang smiled slightly, and approached Lu Ning's ear with a little mystery.

"Do you know what is in the middle of that large settlement?"

This kind of question, obviously for showing off, is obviously not waiting for Lu Ning to answer.Zhao Chenshuang quickly went on to say:

"A pool in the shape of a crescent moon, surrounded by totems, the pool has been filled with blood so red that it turned black."
