Tokyo underground city

Chapter 181 Nightfall

After leaving the logistics camp, Lin Huai'en didn't know whether it was worthwhile to exchange three bottles of healing potion for two bottles of champagne, four bottles of red wine and half a box of cans. But even in the illusion, he could feel a real pressure.

At least, he and Hara Yumu's food was really consumed.

Every time he ate, he could feel his weak body regaining some strength.

He didn't know what this meant, but according to his speculation, these things that had not been corrupted even in the illusion should have some different meanings.

Just like the flower field where tuberose is located, although monsters rushed into the camp last night, there were no sewage, rotten trees or weird vines wherever tuberose grew.

This provided a great guarantee for the future survival of him, Yuan Ximu, and Ziyuan.

The Windrunner camp, which was also shrouded in golden flower fields, was much better than the logistics camp. He found two 10-liter barrels of mineral water almost effortlessly. Considering the size of Yuan Yumu and Shion, they needed to 2 liters of pure water is enough for them to use for more than 10 days.

Relatively speaking, the food was much worse. All the food that could be found was moldy, including the vacuum-packed food packaged in plastic bags, which were all bulging - even the cans were not spared.

He dug out a box of cans of braised pork and pinched them one by one. As a result, they all made a clanking sound.

"What's going on...why do these materials, within the scope of the golden flower field, become like this..."

Lin Huai'en frowned and looked at Windrunner's storage room.

Suddenly, he noticed that besides the mineral water, there was something like a suitcase, which was not moldy.

"This is... a toolbox?"

Lin Huai'en opened the green tool box, took a look, and felt a little dazed.

【Architect's Carpentry Box】

[Description: By using this set of tools, you can reinforce wooden facilities in the dungeon]

"It's actually dungeon equipment..."

Although he didn't know what this thing was used for, Lin Huai'en thought about it and put it in his backpack.

"In this way... the search on Windrunner's side has been completed..."

Lin Huaien sighed, turned around and wanted to leave.

However, at this moment, he heard a subtle roar in the distance, which caught his attention.

"Dog...? Alive?"

Listening to the roar in the distance, Lin Huai'en suddenly had a bad premonition, but in order to verify it, he cautiously walked towards the direction of the sound.

After going around two tents, he finally saw the "vicious dog" that roared.

"Hululu..."

The "evil dog" spat out gurgling blood bubbles from its lungs. These blood bubbles flowed out of its rotting chest and piled up on the ground.

"The corpse dog...has rotted away, but is tied up with ropes and cannot leave."

Lin Huai'en frowned and looked at the corpse dog in front of him.

There was a rope around its neck, tied to a steel pole next to a tent, and a circle of tuberose next to the corpse dog's body all lay on the ground and turned black.

But facing the still golden tuberose, the corpse dog was obviously very wary. While roaring at Lin Huai'en, it immediately made a "sizzling" ablation sound when it touched the golden flower.

It was so "scared" that it quickly backed away.

But this scene also made Lin Huai'en confirm that the golden flower field and the corpse dog should indeed be hostile existences in a certain sense.

"Perhaps Yuan Ximu and I didn't become like corpse dogs just because we were protected by the golden flower field?"

While Lin Huai'en was thinking, he raised the Gray Fury and slashed at the corpse dog's head with his sword.

"boom!"

The moment Gray Green's Fury touched the Corpse Dog, the Corpse Dog suddenly exploded, startling Lin Huai'en.

He retreated hurriedly, but his body was already stained with a lot of corpse dog bits.

"unlucky!"

Even as good-tempered as he is, he can't help but complain.

.

"I'm back."

Lin Huai'en opened the door and walked in, while Yuan Ximu was kneeling on the floor, telling Ziyuan a story. The storybook was placed in Ziyuan's mother's luggage, and it should be used to relieve Ziyuan's boredom.

Coco, who was almost taller than Zi Yuan, was lying at the door, always guarding the two of them, which allowed Lin Huai'en to leave without worries and go look for things outside.

Yuan Ximu raised her head and glanced at him: "How's the harvest? I saw you went to the logistics camp - but I was going to go live tonight, so I didn't see what you found in detail."

"The harvest is not big, only a few useful things are left."

Lin Huai'en shook his head and took out the food and tool box he got.

When Yuan Ximu heard the search process described by Lin Huai'en, she also shook her head: "Forget it, these things are enough for us. In comparison, it is better to find a way out of the illusion as soon as possible -"

"Theoretically, Sister Senyan can resist "Silver Queen". There is no reason why we can't do it either."

Lin Huaien nodded.

In fact, without his help, Senyan would have achieved nothing even if she resisted the "Silver Queen".

He deliberately changed the topic: "What was the result of your investigation using the light-catching fairy?"

"No, if you leave the camp a little higher, you will see large vines. I don't dare let the light-catching goblin touch them."

"Apart from the golden flower fields, is there no other safe place... But how did they let us in?"

Lin Huai'en thought of the five-hour long trip between himself and Yuan Ximu last night, and felt a little lucky.

"Perhaps, they are not ready..."

Yuan Ximu thought about it and suddenly said: "No matter what, we must not forget that our bodies in reality are still protected by the golden flower field. If the "abnormal body" wants to cross the protection of the golden flower field and directly harm us, it should There are certain difficulties.”

"They were not ready yesterday, but they may not be ready today..."

Yuan Ximu looked at the night outside the wooden house and said worriedly.

.

Perhaps, as Hara Yumu said, the "abnormal body" is dragging them into the shadows step by step.

The attacks from monsters are the most direct manifestation.

The shadows are growing...and the fields of golden flowers are becoming increasingly difficult to protect them...

"Eating" keeps their minds healthy, and at the same time they can face the erosion of the shadow more actively...

I don't know if the "Declaration" is at work. Lin Huai'en understands more and more clearly the meaning of his actions at this time.

After eating the dinner cooked by Hara Yumu, he lay on the ground and took a nap.

Both Coco and Yuan Ximu were keeping vigil, but Ziyuan lay on the sleeping bag at his feet and fell asleep gently.

The golden tuberose pendant hung around her neck, emitting a faint fluorescent light.

And around five o'clock in the morning, he was gently pushed awake by Yuan Ximu wrapped in a quilt.

"Listen...it's coming..."

The girl gently raised a finger.

Outside the wooden house, which had become dark, there was a faint golden light, but compared with when it first fell into the night, this golden light was much dimmed now.

And it can be felt that outside of this dim golden light, less than ten meters away from them, at least a dozen monsters are roaring continuously.

"It's a lot less than yesterday... but it's more powerful."

Lin Huai'en nodded, holding the Huiqing Fury in his hand, and wanted to stand up.

However, Yuan Ximu looked at him and was suddenly stunned.

He paused for a moment and looked down at his body.

In the sleeping bag he opened, a monster like a red worm was crawling!

"Damn, what the hell is this..."

Lin Huai'en couldn't help but feel sick when he thought about sleeping with these red worms for more than five hours.

He almost threw the sleeping bag into the fire, but ended up shaking the red worms out.

"It should be the self-destructed corpse dog you mentioned..." Yuan Ximu reminded him.

Lin Huai'en nodded, becoming more and more aware of the weirdness, disgustingness, and horror of the illusion.

Just when he and Yuan Ximu found all the scattered red worms and threw them into the fire, the last trace of golden light outside the wooden house was extinguished!

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang from the window of the cabin.

The loud noise woke up Shion, she screamed and sat up.

And from the wooden window with a hole in it, a strange hand with exposed muscles suddenly stretched out!

The strange hand pulled hard on the door bolt of the window, and when he was about to push the door bolt open, Lin Huai'en rushed forward and slashed the monster's right hand with his sword.

The monster roared in pain and immediately shrank back. Only its half-cut right hand fell to the ground, jumping around like a living fish.

"Go!" Lin Huai'en frowned and kicked the severed hand into the fire, which immediately exploded a lot of sparks——

These monsters actually don't know what they are made of. They are extremely flammable and can almost catch fire!

"It's a pity that the wooden house is a wooden structure and cannot use fire attacks..."

Lin Huai'en thought about the significance of this phenomenon: "But this also means that the opponent cannot use flames, and may even be afraid of flames..."

Later at night, you can light a few more bonfires, so that even if monsters rush into the cabin, there will still be some room for maneuver.

Just as Lin Huai'en was thinking this, a loud noise suddenly came from the wooden door, and Yuan Ximu, who was leaning against the door, was knocked to the ground!

A red, ghoul-like monster rushed in!

Just when Lin Huai'en thought it was about to pounce on him, the naked monster suddenly split in half from the center of its head and "bited" Yuan Ximu!

"cocoa!"

Lin Huai'en roared loudly, but before he could say anything, Cursed Bones had already rushed forward and fought with the monster!

"Hurry up and block the door!"

Yuan Ximu, who fell to the ground, came back to consciousness from the shadow of death, immediately picked up the knocked open wooden stake next to her, pushed the crackling wooden door, and pushed the wooden door firmly to the ground!

Seeing the monsters pouring into the wooden house through the crack in the half-open door, Lin Huaien's mind idled for a second, then he suddenly rushed towards the bonfire, grabbed a burning fire stick, and stuffed it into the crack in the door.

Almost instantly, the monsters burned by the torch screamed and fled.

And Yuan Ximu also staggered and closed the wooden door tightly.

Noticing Lin Huaien's worried gaze, she forced a smile and raised the empty bottle in her hand: "Strength-enhancing potion can increase my muscle strength to 2.5 in a short time."

"What about the duration?"

Lin Huaien nodded and asked seriously.

"Ten minutes." Yuan Ximu didn't hide anything: "But it's likely that all the energy will be exhausted before the potion expires."

"Then this is for you."

Lin Huai'en turned the martyr's sword out and threw it to Yuan Ximu: "Use magic power to replace 50% of the physical consumption, Li Mu'en's weapon."

Seeing Yuan Ximu holding the long sword, Lin Huai'en knew that there would be no problem on her side in a short time.

He turned around and looked at the split-head monster that had been scarred by Coco's bite. He walked over and slashed its head with a sword, stabbing it to death.

.

After killing the first invading split-headed monster, the monsters' harassment continued for another two hours before stopping. During this period, Yuan Ximu's medicine expired, and she hugged Ziyuan and hid in a relatively safe corner, leaving Lin Huai'en alone. Run around with Coco and keep cutting out the monsters that try to get in through the holes in the wooden house.

"The windows were broken into two...if it hadn't been until seven o'clock, we really wouldn't have been able to stop them..."

Just as Lin Huai'en had speculated before, when 7 o'clock in the morning arrived, even if one of the split-headed monsters had half of its body inside the wooden house, the other monsters still left behind their companion who was about to succeed. , and left without looking back.

Only this disgusting monster with only half its body left was killed by Lin Huai'en with one sword.

And when the lighting in the underground city gradually brightened, whether it was the split-headed monster lying on the ground lingering or those that had turned into corpses, they all turned into black mist in the golden fluorescence, leaving only some blood-red ones. The crystal fell to the ground.

"These are... crystal nuclei?"

Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment and picked up the red crystals.

However, something unexpected happened to him.

His [Natural History] skill actually reacted to the red crystals generated by these monsters.
