There's something wrong with this catastrophe word game

Chapter 416 Clues, Lantern Mission

A fleeting faint light...

The wind is getting stronger and the surrounding environment is getting colder.

"Just now, was that light..."

Chen Qi got out of the carriage and squinted into the fog in front of him.

Is it coming...

Of course, it could also be an illusion, or some lamp-like disaster monster wandering in a lightless land.

Chen Qi smiled bitterly and checked the map he got from the carriage. Even with the map, he couldn't see their specific location in the overwhelming fog.

After Chen Qi finished changing his equipment, he picked up the scent potion he got from the injured workshop and sprayed it around the carriage.

The smell of blood sometimes attracts special monsters.

At the same time, Chen Qi used black fire and weapons to clear away some bugs on the carriage.

After cleaning, Chen Qi sat cross-legged on the carriage, looking into the distance under the breeze.

The wind at night is always very comfortable, very comfortable...

Also very short.

Chen Qi sat on the front of the carriage and looked at the surrounding scene.

As the carriage continued to advance, the environment around him also continued to change.

In the originally barren land, some dead trees began to appear, some ruins of houses, and some wooden boards scattered on the ground.

"Wooden house..."

Chen Qi raised his head and looked forward.

Light appeared in his eyes again.

And at this moment, in the fog, a high-speed object was aimed at Chen Qi's head!
boom!
Chen Qi instantly pulled out the demon-burning sword from his waist and blocked the stabbing attack!

However, the thrust did not hit, but stayed in the air.

In other words, it was just a feint from the beginning.

"Lance——"

Finally, the meeting point...

Chen Qi took a long breath in his heart, and the tension he maintained in his heart gradually dissipated.

The appearance of the person in front of him meant that he was temporarily safe.

At this moment, Chen Qi pretended to be frightened, turned around and looked at the person who appeared in the mist.

A middle-aged man with a long hair and braids.

Chen Qi recalled the memories in his [identity].

Robert, the lantern bearer, looks like a big bear. He is a squad leader in this expedition and is level [-]. He likes to teach newcomers all kinds of things.

Chen Qi's [identity] this time has also been taken care of by this uncle who loves to teach newcomers.

Robert put away his spear and looked at the carriage team behind Chen Qi.

boom!
Did this weakest carriage team actually survive...

The fog gradually weakened.

"Ann from Black River Lane!?"

Robert was slightly startled, but sitting in the carriage was actually a newcomer.

Then, he put his index and middle fingers into his mouth and made a harsh whistle. As the whistle sounded, these specially trained horses stopped one after another and became extremely well-behaved.

"This place is not safe. Get the living people and treasures, and then follow me..."

"Ah."

Chen Qi nodded, that was exactly what he meant.

……

This is the first meeting place for their death regiment expedition.

Due to subsequent reasons, Chen Qi missed the initial gathering.

At this meeting point, he needed to get some information.

Following Robert, Chen Qi quickly arrived at the place where the light was.

As he entered the "wooden house", special reminders popped up in his mind.

[Traveler, you have arrived at the special location "Wooden House". Your mental recovery is five points, currently 10/10.
You gain 50 ability points. 】

[Traveler, you completed the first main mission and obtained 200 ability points. 】

[You get a new main mission and reach the next meeting point "Cliff". 】

Chen Qi looked around curiously.

Unlike what he imagined, the wooden house was not a large rest house.

It was a half-broken house, but from this broken house grew a 20-meter-high lantern fruit tree!
The lantern above is like a small sun, warming the surrounding area.

This is a special building built by the Death Group using items from the day during their first expedition.

As long as fuel is injected, a short-lived light field can be formed!

In the light domain, one can temporarily restore one's spirit and blood volume, and at the same time, it can also inhibit the progression of some special diseases.

If it weren't for these nodes, they would be dead ends in the Lightless Land.

The warm light gently caressed Chen Qi's skin, and then gently penetrated deeper into the body, making the whole body feel much more comfortable.

This gave Chen Qi a great sense of comfort that he could go home after a long vacation after being busy for a month.

In this field of light, there were hundreds of people bandaging, wiping their weapons, or simply lying on blankets, closing their eyes and concentrating.

After Chen Qi helped the injured man to the campfire where the doctor's sister was, he returned to where Robert was.

They newbies all gathered in that place.

Among the others, there are [Death Prisoners]. With Chen Qi's current identity, it is not a wise choice to contact those people before he has sufficient strength.

Chen Qi sat in front of the campfire, ate a piece of roasted dried meat, and then drank a cup of slightly sweet hot water.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi did not hesitate and spent the two hundred ability points he had just obtained to activate the Black Fire Walk.

As a skill that can be learned in the early stages, Black Fire Walking with its invincible frame is a magical skill, and it has the two major abilities of displacement and damage avoidance.

After Chen Qi finished clicking the skills, he looked at Robert who was directly opposite him and said:
"Captain, where have the captain and deputy captain gone?" Robert took a sip of strong wine and looked at the surviving boy in front of him:
"The regimental commander and deputy regimental commander, of course they are in the front, without them taking the lead.

To clear the way for us, all of us, thousands of people, must die.

By the way, An, the boy from Heihe Lane, what did your carriage team encounter?
You can actually survive. You know, even the second team guarded by the death row guards and the captain were completely wiped out.

They may have been torn to pieces by the Ice Witch or the Clock Tower. "

Chen Qi did not hide anything and said truthfully:
“A huge stone bull, it chased us after our captain and doctor were injured.

In order to get rid of it, a lot of things happened on the convoy..."

As Chen Qi spoke, he lowered his head and drank the sugar water.

"A stone cow!?"

Robert's eyes widened and he shook his head:

"Your team is really lucky. This may be a favor to you newcomers."

Robert lamented that the dangers encountered by other teams were far greater than that of a stone cow!
"Never mind this, as long as you survive, you are eligible to receive the [treasure]!"

Robert looked at the large number of relics piled up under the light in the distance, and showed a greedy smile:

"Those are the equipment and weapons of the survivors, as well as the treasures that they couldn't take away from the last group that died. Those things are all good things.

And if it’s given to you, it’s yours.

If you can survive and return to Xindu District 8 with these, your life will be prosperous.

Let me tell you, if you can go back alive, even those ghost debt collectors will have to keep their heads down when they see you! "

"Do you want to receive weapons..."

Chen Qi looked there. Under the supervision of an expert, the survivors received their weapons under the light of the lantern fruit.

Chen Qi and the others were the last to arrive, and the time to receive them was also last.

Intelligence is more important.

Chen Qi shook his head and asked a few more questions, but was unable to get any more information about the group leader from "Robert".

At this time, among the crowd, some rustling sounds came.

"The Lantern Fruit's fuel is low."

"Do you need someone to get the fuel for the lantern fruit now?"

"Are you kidding? In that direction, if you encounter the prison lord, the ice witch, and the monster combination of the clock tower man.

Trash like us can't survive even one second. We can only move forward, constantly moving forward. "

Prisoner...

When Chen Qi heard the word, he became alert.

To change the outcome, the prison master's information is crucial.

At this time, a special text popped into Chen Qi's mind.

[Traveler, you have come into contact with the medium-difficulty branch line "Lantern Fruit Materials". You need to go to places where the Ice Witch may appear and collect small lanterns.

Each small lantern rewards 50 ability points.

Upon completion you will be rewarded with a special relic. 】

[You can report to the "Herald" to take over this task. 】

Chen Qi was slightly startled and said:
"Are there not enough lanterns?"

Robert took another sip of strong drink:
"Yes, the team mainly responsible for transporting the small lanterns was wiped out by the group. You need to know what kind of existence is chasing us.

Our little lantern is not enough.

If we wait until we get to the next meeting point, we may not be able to see the light. By then...

Now they are looking for people to go on a special route to take the little lanterns grown on the previous trip while heading to the next meeting point.

Theoretically, this gathering point is shorter, but apart from more dangerous monsters, it is possible to encounter 'chasers' at this gathering point!

You have to know that neither the Prison Master nor the Ice Witch can make you die without feeling your own death. "

Robert took a sip of strong wine:
“Pray, pray that our masters here can survive, the boy from Black River Lane.

But don’t think too much about it, it’s not something we should consider. "

this task...

Chen Qi took a sip of hot water and fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt about his current strength. To participate in this mission is to hit an egg against a stone.

However, this is also one of the few places where information about the "Prison Master" can be obtained...

Even if you pass the level normally, it will still fail.

Wanting to change the ending alone is beyond imagination.

Now, every step he takes must be aimed at changing the outcome.

Even if there is a little more possibility...

Chen Qi was thinking a lot in his mind.

"Huh! Brother Robert! Lend me a bottle of wine——"

Chen Qi took the liquor from Robert's hand and drank it in one gulp.

"!!!"

My wine!Robert looked at his empty hands, just about to get angry.

But the next moment.

Chen Qi exhaled the smell of alcohol and said in a calm voice:

"Herald! Ask me to join the mission to find the lantern."

"?"

The messenger turned back with some doubts and looked at their opponent, a group of novices.

"drunk!?"

After hearing Chen Qi's speech, at this moment, team leader Robert and everyone around the campfire stopped moving their hands and showed puzzled expressions.
