Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 568 Cliff

   "No," Baomu looked at the stone fern at his feet. A few minutes ago, he had just walked past from here, "No! Here...it should be a desert in front of you!"

   But at this moment, the deep primitive jungle in front of them.

"I can guarantee it! I really can guarantee it!..." Baomu pointed at the stone fern and shouted in a panic, "I walked out of the desert at the time. This was the first plant I avoided, that's it. I will not admit my mistake..."

  The Son of Light seemed to have received the master’s mood, and screamed together.

  A Zhen silently glanced at the stone fern, then squatted down and checked on the ground for a while, stood up, and stared at the jungle in the distance, "I believe you."

  Baomu’s explanation seemed a bit redundant. He opened his mouth and muttered, "It should be a desert here, but..."

"This is the game space. The game will not change according to our needs, but will only move according to the game's choices," Ah Zhen sighed, "I believe you, you see, from here, the ground appears. Your footprints, I know you are not lying, but the game wants me to think you are lying."

   Baomu looked at his footprints, and for a long while, he remembered looking up at Ah Zhen's desolate appearance, and asked, "How did you make it like this?"

  A Zhen was stunned for a moment, and looked down at his clothes. There were a few more torn holes in Ah Zhen's clothes, and his hair was tangled into a ball. When he crawled out of the mud, he was not so miserable.

   Seeing Ah Zhen's expression of hesitation, Baomu continued, "Still can't tell us?"

  A Zhen did not deny it.

  "Then can you tell me why you are so excited when you hear that desert?" Baomu asked the next question.

  A Zhen stretched her brows, it seems that this question is not a taboo.

   "You missed an opportunity to pass the level directly." Ah Zhen said concisely.

   "Huh?" Baomu probe, "Pass the level directly?"

"You have also discovered that in every oasis lake in the desert, there is a catfish that represents a catfish player," Ah Zhen stroked his own hair in disgust, "Although I don't know why the desert is in yours. The front opens, but the fact is that the desert should be the core space of this game. Those catfish are the entities of the catfish players in the game system..."

   Baomu understood, "So, we just have to kill those catfish..."

  A Zhen nodded heavily.

   "You are a little bit short..."

"We're not a little bit worse," Baomu said frankly, "It's easy to say, but it's not that simple at all. You see, Xiaolan has disappeared, and I was almost blown to death by the wind and sand. In Oasis, I have also quit the game now..."

   "I know, I know, don't get excited," A Zhen patted Baomu on the shoulder, "At least it is much simpler than finding the catfish players and killing them one by one, right?"

  This is true.

   Baomu calmed down, he tried his best to restrain the little anger in his tone, and asked, "Then...then you are leaving again?"

  A Zhen looked at Bao Mu's appearance and smiled lightly, "I'm not leaving, let's be together."

   Baomu turned his head and looked at him directly, "Didn’t your master assign you a task? Your task is completed?"

   "Uh... be it."

   Baomu was not so angry anymore, "Did you get any clues? Where are we going?"

  "Go to the desert, find Xiaolan." Ah Zhen nodded and said.

  "Desert?" When talking about Xiaolan, Baomu's mood fell again, "Really... can you really find Xiaolan?"

  "How do you know if you don't look for it?" A Zhen grabbed Baomu's arm, "Let's go, you have to have a little confidence in Xiaolan, I feel that girl is not easy, she can take care of herself."

   "But she's stuck in quicksand... can't hide from the sand at all..."

   "There is a way, she must have a way, haven't you found that she is smarter than both of us?..."

   "You are right, Xiaolan is amazing, but that's..."

   "Oh, let's talk about something else, let's talk about something else."

   "Talk about something else?... Then how did you know that the desert is the core area?"

   "We are such a big school, before sending people in, you must not do some work in advance..."

   "A few levels before that..."

   "There were no previous levels. My master only asked about the last level. He didn't think that the first few levels would stump me..."

"……Ok……"

  The two chatted, stepped on the twilight, and walked into the depths of the jungle.

  ***

  It was the voice of a woman.

  That voice, lingering around her.

   Xiaolan raised her head abruptly, looking for the direction of the voice, "Who?"

"……Here……"

   is on her right, just behind the invisible clump of branches and leaves.

   Xiaolan slid away the branches with her hands and leaned forward.

"……Here……"

  The voice came from below.

  The woman's voice, the air here, and the wind here, made Xiaolan feel familiar.

  The sky is rumbling, is the thunderstorm approaching?

   Xiaolan touched the trunk beside her, hugged the trunk tightly, and leaned over.

"……Here……"

"anyone there?"

  No one answered.

   Xiaolan gritted her teeth, rubbed a little bit in front of the bushes, and stuck a foot forward.

  Step down, step down...

  Xiaolan's heart sinks slowly with her foot.

   Can’t step on the bottom.

  She retracted her foot, squatted, and touched the ground in front of her.

  The solid ground stretched, and then it was disconnected.

  In front of me, there is a cliff.

  That voice is luring herself into the cliff.

   Xiaolan stepped back, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

  Fortunately, I just hit a tree, otherwise I might just roll off the cliff.

  And that voice...

   Xiaolan pricked his ears and listened. The voice was still ringing intermittently, and he did not give up the idea of ​​killing Xiaolan.

"……Here……"

"……Here……"

   is like a whisper of the devil.

   "I won't listen to you," Xiaolan sat on the ground angrily, deciding whether to go on crawling forward for a while, "Bad woman."

  A rolling thunder approached, and a low rumbling sound spread from one end of the sky to the other.

  The fragrance of green grass under the nose, with the strong ozone smell in the air before the rain, penetrated Xiaolan's nasal cavity.

  Xiaolan knelt on the ground and climbed cautiously.

  The first rain fell and hit the first fallen leaf.

  Rain, wind, fallen leaves...

  The moment the rain started, Xiaolan's eyes widened and his body froze.

  She remembered.

  But this is impossible...Even if it is similar to reality, it is impossible to happen...

  She has indeed seen this scene.
