People are in a weird world, you call this a game of cultivation

Chapter 116 How Much Preparation Have You Made?

The black mist is like yarn, and the light is like water.

A petrified sculpture stands in the darkness.

Fear, despair, and disbelief are vividly portrayed on the face of the sculpture.

The magic crows formed by wisps of black mist hover around the sculpture, like vultures waiting to eat carrion.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an arrow pierced through the air, and a ball of fireworks exploded above the head of the petrified sculpture.

The magic crows were frightened one after another and turned into black mist to disperse.

Two figures ran over from a distance.

"Lu Zhaohui, Lu Zhaohui." Li Ran shouted.

"What's his situation, how can he be like this?"

Zhao Yingzhi looked at Lu Zhaohui, who was petrified and turned into a sculpture, in disbelief.

Li Ran frowned slightly, and a line of prompts appeared in front of his eyes.

"He responded to them!"

Li Ran looked up at the demonic blackbird hovering in the sky, with endless anger bursting out of his eyes.

"Then can he still be saved?" Zhao Yingzhi asked.

Li Ran shook his head, gritted his teeth tightly, and remained silent.

He didn't expect to part in such a way.

Zhao Yingzhi turned around with a solemn expression, biting the corner of her mouth tightly!

Looking at the petrified Lu Zhaohui, Li Ran unconsciously saw the simple and honest guy who followed him all day long and called Brother Ran. He impressed the lizard demon Mengge with his sincerity. At that moment, Li Ran felt that he was extremely dazzling. Seeing that he and Mengge are in pairs, they are very envious. After all, he is the only player who lives the coolest in the dungeon, at least Li Ran thinks so.

Li Ran breathed heavily, but felt that the air he inhaled hurt his throat: "You can go at ease."

Immediately, he turned and left indifferently.

Zhao Yingzhi also followed quickly.

The cold light shone on Li Ran's back, and the light elongated his shadow.

His fist couldn't help but clenched fiercely! !
As Li Ran and Zhao Yingzhi left, countless magic crows swooped down from the sky, devouring the sculpture in an instant.

"Why is he petrified, but we are fine?"

Zhao Yingzhi asked in an extremely heavy voice.

"It's those magic crows. They will transform into people or things in the inner world of people. People with weak minds are easily bewitched by them."

"One of the rules in the Dark Palace [Anyone who talks to you, don't respond.]" Li Ran said solemnly.

"This rule is too difficult. How can you be sure that the person you are talking to is transformed by the magic crow? For example, is there someone who has transformed from the magic crow between you and me?" Zhao Yingzhi asked.

"They can't confuse me." Li Ran said very firmly. He looked at Zhao Yingzhi and said, "Team Zhang tortured you for six days, but he couldn't pry your mouth open. It can be seen that your inner concentration is also extraordinary, or it may be because Inside you..."

Li Ran possessed [Concentration Necklace] and [Immunity Ring], so he was not afraid of most mental attacks, and those magic crows had nothing to do with him.

And Zhao Yingzhi still has a vampire soul in her body, so it is not easy to seduce her.

Lu Zhaohui had nothing but the kits of the three saplings.

Instead, it became the easiest target for those magic crows.

Even if Lu Zhaohui overcomes part of the magic crow's bewitchment, he can't stand the innumerable magic crows disturbing his mind. Once the magic crow catches the weakness deep in his heart, Lu Zhaohui will definitely be tricked.

The attack of the magic crow is invisible and hard to guard against.

Even if Li Ran wanted to protect him, he was powerless.

If those magic crows were ghosts or something, Li Ran could still use the [Dead Dream] violin to deal with them.

It's a pity that the magic crow is a kind of ghost in the dark hall.

"The mask has been on for less than an hour, and we haven't found the boundary gate yet!" Zhao Yingzhi said with a solemn expression.

The size of the Dark Temple was far beyond her imagination.

Li Ran didn't have an answer to this question, and Goldfinger didn't give any hints.

They can only continue to follow the lantern.

I don't know how long I walked, until the field of vision in front suddenly became wider.

The surroundings were pitch black, but Li Ran stopped. The light was shining in front of him, and a piece of lifeless water appeared in front of his eyes.

The lights were swallowed up, and there were no ripples on the water surface. It looked like a vast black mirror was placed on the ground.

Li Ran stepped forward, knelt down and scooped water with his hands, the tentacles were gentle, and strangely, the black water turned into transparent water in his palm, no different from the lake water he usually sees.

"You're not going to go into the water, are you?" Zhao Yingzhi showed panic.

She is afraid of water, and the dark water makes her fearful and disturbed. Whenever she floats in the water, she feels that there are hands strangling her throat, making her unable to breathe.

However, Ming Deng will not be afraid, it slowly floats on the surface of the water, drifting deeper into the black waters.

"You take this, it should be able to eliminate some of your inner fear." Li Ran handed Zhao Yingzhi a bottle of potion, he saw Zhao Yingzhi's uneasiness, and explained: "This is an underwater breathing potion, if you drown, you can drink it .”

Li Ran rested for two days, but he didn't just bask in the sun every day and do nothing. He took into account all possible obstacles and various environments that he might encounter, including the possibility of entering underwater battles.

Ever since Grandma Mi got into the water and used the underwater breathing potion once, Li Ran felt that he could have more of these things and put them in the storage space, there would always be a useful place for them.

"You even have this, it's really frightening to think about it, how many secrets do you still hide?" Zhao Yingzhi said in disbelief.

Along the way, Zhao Yingzhi felt that Li Ran was a monster more and more.

Any problem that comes to him can be easily resolved.

It is omnipotent and omniscient.

From time to time, she could take out all kinds of strange props from the storage space. She suspected that Li Ran had hidden the treasure bag of Doraemon.

"Let's go." Li Ran urged.

The ghost lamp had drifted away, and Li Ran put the flashlight on his shoulders and head, so he had to go into the water.

"Crash~"

In the quiet darkness, the sound of running water was particularly ear-piercing.

Li Ran entered the black water, but what he didn't expect was that the black water was not cold, but warm.

He is ready to resist the coldness of the black water.

"It's not cold, come down quickly." Li Ran urged.

Zhao Yingzhi gritted her teeth and jumped into the water.

She can swim, but she is afraid of the dark and the deep sea.

"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Li Ran said.

"I can accept it, at least it relieves a little fear in my heart." Zhao Yingzhi said.

Then the two swam in the black water with their heads up, following the exhaust of the ghost lamp.

Xiao Chitong's dog planing swimming is very fast, and he swims at the forefront.

"Yeah yeah."

The happiest one was the little devil baby, who ran fast with his arms outstretched on the water surface on the Hot Wheels, causing a series of ripples to form on the water surface.

In this way, the two of them followed the lantern and swam into the endless unknown darkness in the water.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Crash~"

There was the sound of running water behind him.

The hearts of the two thumped at the same time.

In the quiet black waters, the sound of water flowing suddenly from behind was extremely ear-piercing, and something was following behind.

"It's time to come." Li Ran whispered to Zhao Yingzhi.

"There is only one last rule left." Zhao Yingzhi said.

"Don't look back!" The two said at the same time.

After all, the two continued to swim forward.

"Crash~"

The environment of the dead black water was extremely disturbing. The two of them swam forward cautiously. In addition to the sound of their own paddling, there was also a very chaotic paddling sound in their ears, which didn't even sound like swimming paddling. The voice seemed to be some kind of creature in the black water, following closely behind them.

There is no doubt that they encountered the void of the black waters.

The ghost lantern was still floating slowly on the water, and the faint blue glow shone around.

Li Ran could clearly see the ripples from behind to his front, ranging from tiny ripples at the beginning to multiple ripples coming from behind.

The sound of running water behind him became more frequent and denser.

Although I don't know what's behind me.

But as long as you don't get curious, don't think, and don't die, there will be no danger!

He looked aside, but Zhao Yingzhi didn't have such a good attitude as Li Ran.

The black water was rippling around her throat, as if two hands were strangling her throat, making her breathless, coupled with the sound of water flowing behind her, she could feel something behind her, and more than one.

Her breathing became short of breath, and her paddling limbs became disorganized.

Seeing this, Li Ran frowned and said, "Zhao Yingzhi, if we can leave the strange world alive, what is the first thing you want to do when you return to the real world?"

Zhao Yingzhi was taken aback for a moment, she never expected that Li Ran could chat with her so calmly in such a cold and terrifying environment.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. If I can go back alive, I will meet young models every day, and I won't be the same every day." Li Ran laughed.

Only then did Zhao Yingzhi suddenly realize that Li Ran wanted to use these topics to distract her attention and resolve her inner fear.

"If I go back alive, I...I think...I want to be a scumbag."

"A scumbag, a scumbag like me?" Li Ran smiled.

"It was only when I arrived in the strange world that I realized that no matter how good you are in the real world, how many achievements you have made, or what deeds you have done, it is useless in this world." Zhao Yingzhi said.

"You can't overthrow the theory that the real world is useless just because you are frustrated here." Li Ran said.

Zhao Yingzhi shook her head and said: "No, I think that people don't need to be competitive, and they don't need to show off to others. The most important thing is to follow the heart and live well, so after I get out alive, I want to be a heartless A scumbag with no lungs."

"Why?" Li Ran asked curiously.

"That way, you won't have to live for others anymore!" Zhao Yingzhi said.

Li Ran seemed to understand Zhao Yingzhi's thoughts.

A genius is not born a genius. Most people are forced to become geniuses by their parents, teachers, and relatives. When you become a child of someone else’s family, you become the capital to show off to your parents, the glory in the eyes of your teachers, and the glory in the eyes of your classmates. Xueshen, but is that really me? Isn't that what everyone expects?

And you, what do you expect yourself to be like?

If there is no heavy mortgage pressure in the real world, no life pressure, and you can follow your heart, what kind of life will you have?
The Xu of the Black Waters never thought in his whole life that there would be two hard-headed players talking freely along the way, sometimes laughing, sometimes arguing, and sometimes dreaming of ideals, but they didn't take them seriously.

What a mess, this is the Dark Palace.

Can you respect the emptiness of the Badwater area?

If it spreads out, their hypocrisy here will be very embarrassing.

In this way, a long time passed.

"We're at the border soon." Li Ran pointed to the border of Heishui ahead.

The two were extremely nervous.

This means that they are about to break through all the rules of the Dark Hall and walk towards the gate of the realm.

The two continued to move forward after landing smoothly.

There was a sound of "crawling" in the black water, like a group of people leaving the scene, and there were sighs and sighs.

Through a forest, came to an open place.

The lights were like frost, the surroundings were dead silent, and at the end of the desolate forest was an ancient altar.

Standing silently in the darkness.

This ancient altar has existed for an unknown number of years, and moss and dead vines can be seen everywhere creeping up on it, and at the top of the ancient altar is a majestic ancient stone gate.

The Shimen seems to have existed since ancient times, exuding a sense of grandeur and shock. Looking up from under the altar, Li Ran felt as small as an ant.

On the stone steps in front of the altar, weeds grew over the cracks.

It was hard to imagine how there could be such an altar in this dark temple.

"Is that the boundary gate?"

Li Ran excitedly looked up at the stone gate on the ancient altar, and a message floated above the stone gate in front of him.

(A gate that has not yet been opened)

After receiving the confirmation of the reminder, a heavy stone in Li Ran's heart finally fell.

"Shall we go up and wait, the time limit for the dark mask is coming soon." Zhao Yingzhi asked.

Li Ran frowned slightly, took out the territorial prop [Tree Hole Safe House], and looked at Shimen thoughtfully.

(Territory props cannot be placed above the altar, you can try it in the open area under the steps of the altar.)
Receiving Goldfinger's reminder, Li Ran walked down the steps in big strides, then hugged the tree stump and placed it in an open area under the steps.

After the stump was placed on the ground, it swelled a few times, and a dark hole appeared in the center of the stump, which an adult could easily drill into.

Little Chitong and the little devil baby lay on the edge of the tree hole, poked their heads and looked down, very curious about what kind of world existed inside.

"The tree stump props cannot be placed on the altar. It seems that we can only spend the remaining ten hours here." Li Ran said.

"En." Zhao Yingzhi nodded.

"Before that, we have to make some preparations to ensure that we won't be taken advantage of within these ten hours."

As he said that, Li Ran took out a half-capsule-shaped cover and threw it into the sky. The translucent cover quickly became bigger, forming a huge transparent protective cover to cover the two of them inside.

Zhao Yingzhi looked at Li Ran in shock: "How many treasures do you still have?"

"The energy shield obtained from the previous mission can keep us safe as long as it is not broken." Li Ran said lightly.

Then, he took out three bags of kits and sprinkled all the seeds and saplings in the kits around the stump.

"You even stole Lu Zhaohui's three kits?" Zhao Yingzhi said in disbelief.

"What!"

"How can this be called stealing? I just inherited his inheritance."

After Lu Zhaohui petrified, those three kits were always in his hands. Although he was in a heavy heart, he would use everything that should be used to ensure nothing would go wrong, so he took it directly.

In addition to having the tips of the golden finger, his cautiousness is also the key to his survival until now.

Zhao Yingzhi was not idle either, she placed nine lightning-inducing kites around the inner circle of the defensive shield.

"The magic tree puppet can be used to attract firepower, the magic tree man can also participate in the battle, and the magic vine is a trap." Li Ran muttered as he sprinkled all the seeds in the kit on the ground.

Soon, a circle of magic tree puppets and magic tree people appeared around the stump, just like transplanting seedlings, growing up one after another, the speed is staggering.

"It's almost time, it's time to enter the tree hole." Li Ran said.

There are less than 15 minutes left for the dark mask. Although the little devil baby can be remade, it cannot be reused. The cooling time is one day.

Li Ran asked Zhao Yingzhi to go into the tree hole first, and stayed outside the tree hole to observe for a while.

Get cheat tips.

(Safe for now!)

Only then did he feel relieved and burrowed into the tree hole.

The little red pupil and the little devil baby flew up happily, got into the tree hole and slid down like a slide.

After several turns and eight turns, Li Ran fell into a tree hole surrounded by huge tree walls.

He took out a lamp and put it in the corner.

Looking around, there is nothing here but wrinkled old bark.

Li Ran grabbed the little devil baby in his hand, pointed to the tree hole that slid down and said: "Papa will go to sleep soon, and you and Chitong will put a door of darkness in the tree hole when they hear movement outside. ,Understand?"

"Yeah." The little devil baby nodded.

Zhao Yingzhi on the side was dumbfounded and said, "How much preparation have you made?"

"No, that's all. The next step is up to God's will. We should pray that before the gate of the realm is opened, Xu Xu will not appear nearby."

The opening time of the gate is three hours before the end of the crazy night.

But now, only ten hours have passed, and more than half of the time is unknown.

"You...you turn around first."

At this time, Zhao Yingzhi said to Li Ran with two blushes on her face.

(She is going to change clothes, I don't want you to see.)
A one-line prompt appears.

Zhao Yingzhi's whole body was wet, perhaps because she felt that her whole body was wet and uncomfortable, and she planned to change into clean clothes before injecting the strong anesthetic.

After all, there are still five or six minutes before the dark mask fails.

But it was the first time she was in the same room with a boy, and she had never undressed in front of others, so she would inevitably be shy.

Although, the man in front of him is indeed worth entrusting, but he has a wife here.

Wait, this is a dungeon with a wife, back to reality he is still single.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingzhi's face was as bright red as blood, extremely hot.

"When is Zhao Yingzhi, do you still have the heart to think about this crap?"

Zhao Yingzhi hurriedly stopped the wild thoughts in her head, and quickly calmed herself down.

She took out a set of dry clothes from the storage space, and looked at Li Ran timidly: "Turn around."

Li Ran was also speechless, and sighed resentfully: "Women are trouble."

After seeing Li Ran turn around, Zhao Yingzhi also turned her back to face the wrinkled tree wall, and took off her wet clothes rustlingly.

Li Ran rested his chin on one hand, scratched the tree wall on the ground boredly, heard the rustling sound behind him, and thought to himself: "I, Li Ran, act frankly and frankly, how can I do such careless things."

At this time, the little devil baby flew in front of Li Ran, and a cloud of black mist exploded in his hand, turning into a small mirror and handing it to Li Ran.

"Little Devil Baby, you don't understand Papa's thoughts at all, Papa is not that kind of person, oh, don't take it here."

Li Ran took the mirror and glanced at it.

Damn, it's so big!
