Lord of Eternal Darkness

Li Xiaoming took inventory of his belongings and left the dangerous forest.

Looking back at the dark depths, my heart was beating regularly, but I could feel a coldness soaking into my bones, as if there was something indescribable buried deep under the forest.

Jinchengan rested his head and said, "Is there anything worth worrying about in the forest? You look back three times at a time."

Li Xiaoming shook his head and said calmly: "It's nothing, I just feel a little strange. The current task is more important to win, but the chance of winning with the two of us is very slim. If possible, find other people to help, the winner It's more likely."

Jin Chengan looked at this man with strange eyes, as if he felt a little strange for a moment, his lips moved slightly but he didn't say anything.

The two of them walked in silence until they passed a plain area. It was hard to imagine that this small island could have all kinds of terrain. It was such a unique geographical advantage.

The two looked towards the plain ahead, which was covered with rich grass. The leaves of the green grass directly covered people's chests, covering all the way forward.

"There seems to be no road ahead. Should we just go through it? But the grass seems to be very high. What if someone ambushes us?"

Li Xiaoming looked around. It seemed that the detour was quite far, or that the entire border of this area might be covered with this kind of tall grass.

Li Xiaoming warned: "Go straight through, it's better to be careful. This place is more suitable for attacking with fire, and strange beasts may also be hiding here, so don't set fire unless it is absolutely necessary."

The two walked carefully through the grass, and the sharp blades scratched their arms, causing a slight pain. Although the grass is high and wide, it is not that troublesome to walk. The places where the grass is planted are spaced and regular, a bit like people did it deliberately.

Jin Chengan suddenly stopped and grabbed Li Xiaoming who was advancing.

"Wait a moment, look over there." Jin Chengan pointed to the southeast.

Li Xiaoming pushed aside the grass stalks and looked in that direction. It turned out that there was a farm hidden here. He could vaguely see a house with green walls and black tiles. There was a large open space in front of him with piles of fresh grass and even an abandoned tractor. Put it there as a display.

Li Xiaoming carefully reached out his hand from the grass, making sure that someone would not reach out with a gun somewhere and kill himself with a headshot to end this miserable little life.

He checked the soil on the ground again. There were no footprints and it was very smooth. No one should have been to this place. Maybe he could receive a lot of good equipment.

So with the mentality of taking a gamble, he pulled Jin Chengan in.

Pushing open the creaking fence door, I looked at the old and dilapidated house. A heavy stone mill was placed in front of the door, and trophies were piled on the steps, calling for brave adventurers to come and claim it.

"It's good luck, we made a lot of money." Jincheng An said happily. He never expected that the loot would be so rich, and he could even see a sniper rifle. The equipment he lost before was compensated for. This is really a village with bright lights.

Li Xiaoming said with a horrified look on his face: "It's not a hammer. We've fallen into a trap. It's over."

"What do you mean? There are no footprints nearby, and it's very quiet. After a while, the equipment should not be refreshed outside the house, except..."

Jin Chengan was instantly frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He looked towards the surrounding rooftops, as if there were countless pairs of eyes spying on the two of them, making silent mockery.

"Pah, pah, pah—"

As if they were moved to cooperate because of their hindsight, applause rang out from behind, followed by the footsteps of seven or eight people randomly.

"I didn't expect to catch you two prey. It's great. You don't seem to be big fools. You are worthy of being a guy on the ranking list.

"Although in a sense I am bragging, after all, I am also on the list." The man said with a proud smile.

The two people who were deeply surrounded, pitifully back to back, watched helplessly as the group of people walked up with weapons in hand.

Li Xiaoming said very bitterly: "So it's you, your name is Xu Songke, right? This is called fate, we can meet in this way."

"I didn't expect that someone like you would actually remember me. What an honor. By the way, do you know my other seven friends?"

Li Xiaoming looked at the faces of those guys. Some were full of hostility, while others were curious.

I seem to have seen a familiar face. It seemed like he had bumped into him by the river before, chased him in a small boat, and was then killed by a group of strange fish?

Meng Tao gritted his teeth and said: "No more words, Boss Xu, I want to avenge my brother. Let me chop this guy first!"

"No, how can I give you such an opportunity to become famous? We brothers have been squatting for many days." The man wearing an eyepatch next to him said fiercely.

"Damn it, it was me, I was the one who came first...it was obviously us who came first, whether it was the previous attack by the strange fish or the current thousand-mile pursuit." Meng Tao clenched his fists, with a look in his eyes. Got fighting spirit.

The one-eyed boy said disdainfully: "We sympathize with this, but we will not give up the fruits of victory to others. Don't think that you can show off your power with just one more person."

Jin Chengan puffed up his chest and said, "This scene looks like a confession scene. It's really embarrassing. If you want to kill me, just kill me. Why are you wasting so much money?"

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. The two sides should calm down their anger first. There is not that much hatred between us. After all, this exam is just to obtain better resources. So why not make friends temporarily and let the remaining 4,000 people Solve it so you can get more points.”

Xu Songke, as the captain respected by both sides, should come out to mediate the conflict at this time.

"Friends? Are you joking with these two people? He is laughing at us in the square that we are all trash." Liu You told dissatisfiedly.

"What do you mean? If you have the ability to fight in a duel, I will give you a hand." Jin Chengan was not happy when he heard it, but it was normal for him to be beaten based on his character, but Li Xiaoming said that he did not want to be involved.

"Who are you? If you don't want to accept it, come and give it a try!" Liu You shouted angrily and pulled out the machete.

At this time, the original incident of sieging Europe turned into a stupid one-on-one challenge between two people, which caused people on both sides to start to dissuade everyone in order to prevent them from disturbing the mood of everyone present.

"That's enough. We are all capable people, and being harmonious is the way to go. Give me, Mr. Xu, some face. After all, we still lack a 'Dream Master' profession. Everyone should want to join that place."

When Xu Songke said this, everyone stopped arguing and remained silent in understanding.

"Dream Master is a profession that can only be used to provide support. It's actually not very useful. There's no need to keep me here." Li Xiaoming said very humbly.

Xu Songke said: "Yes, this profession is of little use in normal times, but for some special agencies, his help is still needed."

"What's the meaning?"

"Oh, it seems you don't fully understand the rules of the game. This game is a killing point system, and it is also a treasure hunting game. The more valuable the things you collect, the more rewards you will get, even more points than killing people. Tempting, we found a secret room, but there is no way to open it, we must rely on the dream master's dream essence."

Hearing the other party's explanation, Li Xiaoming understood that it turned out that he was asking for something from himself. After all, this profession was not very large. Meeting 100 of the 4,000 extraordinary people was already considered lucky.

"Can you guarantee my life safety?" Li Xiaoming pretended to be weak, expressing that he was harmless to humans and animals and was just a weak auxiliary profession.

People around said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem with this. Maybe with luck, you, the second most popular person, can also be ranked in the top 100 of the battle royale, hahaha."

Li Xiaoming knew that he was not the most critical, and was dispensable. However, what they needed at this time was convenience and speed. Once he helped them get things, his life would probably be ended immediately.

"Okay, I promise you a temporary alliance, and you have to restrain your desire to attack Jin Chengan. Although I am with him, I also want to attack him."

"Very good, everyone is happy, then Brother Li will accompany me to visit the secret room."

Li Xiaoming and the two went from being free to being imprisoned prisoners. Although with Li Xiaoming's current strength, it was not that difficult to fight eight people alone.

After all, the body can be repaired infinitely, and as long as one does not die immediately and wake up from the dream, he is basically invincible. But after hearing what the other party said, he was very interested in the secret room.

After walking through this manor, we came to the rock pile on the back hillside. Take two steps forward and you will see a raised cave with dark and invisible stairs extending downward. Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can feel the dull feeling inside. The wind blew in, carrying a strange rancid smell.

"Are you sure there is treasure in here?" Li Xiaoming looked at the entrance of the cave hesitantly.

Meng Tao looked at the other person's timid appearance and said disdainfully:

"There must be some nonsense. Our previous equipment was picked up from the stairs above, but we can't stay for too long. All of us had a dream, which was roughly a maze of infinite repetitions, and There are many agencies in this place, and I also encountered a sealed totem door, so I didn’t rush deeper.”

"Are you sure you want me to go down?"

"That's right, you go down, and the other person will stay in our hands as a hostage. Come back immediately after getting the things or notify us for support."

Li Xiaoming shrugged his shoulders and looked at his friend helplessly. "I'll go down first, you can wish yourself well."

Jin Chengan looked at the people around him and said, "Don't you think this sentence should be from me to you? With their scared looks, you will definitely have a narrow escape from death."

"By the way, hold this gun. It can be used for self-defense. Of course, I'm not sure it will be useful." Xu Songke smiled and threw an old submachine gun over, but there were only three bullets in it.

Stroking the gun, and then touching the magazine, I noticed something. Sure enough, the other party was still worried.

Li Xiaoming walked in resolutely, stepped on the cold stone slabs, and touched the uneven walls. He felt a coolness sweeping away the heat. There was no feeling of suffocation in the air. At most, the mixed dust was a bit choking.

"How is the situation inside?" Xu Songke stood outside the cave and shouted loudly toward the inside.

"These things are still alive, they crawled out of hell, this door should not be opened!

"No! You devils, why don't you come down yourself? You should thank me that I came down to bear this pain on your behalf!"

The people standing at the entrance of the cave were a little panicked for a moment, but they couldn't see what was happening inside.

"What's going on inside?"

Immediately afterwards, three gunshots and fierce fighting sounds came from inside. It was very lifelike and touched people's heartstrings. A sense of unknown fear fell into everyone's heart.

"Ah... don't come here, run away now, as far away as possible - really, I can't express what I saw in words, they are coming, I can only stop them for a while, believe my words Bar."

Jin Chengan next to him panicked for a moment and struggled desperately to break free. "Let me go. Li Xiaoming is in danger. What did you do?"

"Don't move, observe the situation first!"

The eight people looked at each other, not knowing whether someone had tampered with it or whether they were really in danger. However, looking at the entrance of the cave, a creepy feeling came to their hearts, and they became more and more glad that it was wise not to open it rashly before.
