Night Ranger

"It's actually this thing..."

Before Marvin's muttering ended, he froze in place and couldn't move!

In the entire study room, there was silence. Marvin just kept opening the door, motionless!

After a full three minutes, Marvin suddenly woke up from a nightmare, and slammed the secret door shut!

With a bang, he used all his strength.

In the next second, he leaned his back against the door and fell limp.

He was covered in cold sweat.

"It's actually...it's this thing..."

Marvin was cold all over, lying there weakly, and it took five minutes before he regained his energy.

And when he got up from the ground in front of him, the ground was already wet, all covered with Marvin's sweat!

He climbed onto the bed and lay there sprawled all over, slowly recovering the energy he had just consumed.

His eyes were empty, and the scenes he saw just now kept reappearing.

...

After opening the door, the first thing Marvin saw was an empty secret room!

Opposite the secret room is a mural.

Marvin knew this mural. He once saw this mural when he was exploring an underground temple!

But this mural is different from the one in the underground temple.

This is a mural that floats!

At that moment, a horrifying picture immediately appeared in front of Marvin's eyes:

A mysterious force put him in the dark. A girl's low voice chanted from a distance.

That ballad was surprisingly the one he heard in the secret passage.

Accompanied by this indistinct ballad, is an astonishing scene.

There is a bonfire in the dark. It was burning. Beside the bonfire are countless couples of men and women, all naked, the men wearing black masks, and the women wearing white masks.

They are mating like crazy around the campfire!

Yep, Marvin couldn't even describe this crazy scene as having sex, all men and women. *Naked*twisting together, panting and groaning sounds one after another in the lonely wilderness.

at last. Everyone is getting old one by one.

Aging crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Their skins were dried to human skin, and their bones were blown down by the wind, turning into piles of bones and scattered on the land where the bewitching flowers grew.

They died one by one. Masks were scattered all over the place.

But the bonfire is still burning, and the songs are still being sung.

In the end there was only one girl left. She held her thighs tightly together, and blood flowed from the inside of her thighs.

She slowly took off the mask, revealing a delicate face.

When seeing this, Marvin was almost suffocated!

What was even more frightening was that the girl seemed to see Marvin and smiled at him.

In the next second, the girl's stomach continued to bulge.

It seems that a powerful life is being conceived.

Marvin was trembling all over, he couldn't control his body at all.

The girl stared at him intently.

The smile at the beginning turned into a frightening resentment!

A trance. Marvin saw that the girl's head had turned into the head of that great devil!

The three eyes, with half a smile but not a smile, looked at themselves.

He felt that his life was passing by little by little!

...

"Fortunately. There is also a gift from Varisa..."

"Otherwise it's really a joke this time!"

Marvin looked at the series of determination records on the data panel, and let out a long breath.

That mural is definitely not that simple.

Anyone who sees it will fall into a kind of illusion. This illusion may have actually happened once, and it was recorded by people using secret methods.

Marvin prided himself on being strong-willed. Unexpectedly, I almost fell!

If it weren't for the substantial fear resistance bonus increased by Varisa's gift, it might be difficult for Marvin to break free from that illusion for a while!

No wonder Father Gene was dying. He handed over the key to himself, but told him never to open that door.

What kind of character is my grandfather!

Marvin lay on the bed for a full hour before he recovered.

In any case, the secrets hidden by the kind grandfather in my impression must be beyond imagination.

This mural is at least related to the Anzhe people and the great devil. Coupled with his Numan blood...

At least Marvin won't deal with this stuff for the time being.

According to his estimation, if there is no better way to increase fear resistance than Varisa's gift, he will never even think about taking a step inside that door.

"Let's plan carefully what to do next."

When Marvin thought so, Anna just walked over.

"Master, everything has been arranged."

"Huh? Why are you so pale?"

Marvin smiled wryly and shook his head: "I need some mushroom soup. Ask the chef to add more kale."

Kale grass can restore the spirit, and it is one of the main materials of earthen spirit restoration potion.

Marvin urgently needs to regain his spirits now, because he still has things to do at night.

...

In the evening, outside the city gate.

Laura was carrying a small package and looked around nervously.

The deserted city gate has long been closed, only a small gate is open, and two members of the guard team are in charge of guarding it.

Not far away, a slightly thin figure slowly walked over.

"Master Marvin." Laura showed a respectful look.

"Don't pretend, I know what you look like."

Marvin smiled faintly: "How can you be so respectful to a country lord when a daring female liar and a wolf man who can bluff you out of the cell?"

Laura was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "You are..."

No need for Marvin to speak. She rolled her eyes and cut off the second half of the sentence abruptly.

This is a very smart girl.

Laura lowered her voice: "So the rumors are true."

Ma Wen said calmly, "Whether the rumor is true or not, is it important?"

Who knew that Laura said solemnly: "It's very important!"

"If you really are Masked Two Swords. Then you are my savior."

"Besides, you are also the first person who believed in me again after being deceived by me."

Her expression is very sincere.

Ma Wen was slightly moved in his heart, but he said blankly, "Really?"

"Then let's go!"

"Hey? Master Marvin, you haven't told me where I'm going!" Laura yelled as soon as Marvin dragged her down the mountain.

"Jewel Bay."

Marvin replied.

"But Jewel Bay is not in this direction!" Laura struggled and said, "Let me lead the way, you made a mistake."

"No. Nothing wrong."

The two went down the mountain, and Marvin walked firmly all the way to the north.

"We took the short cut."

Laura was pulled by Marvin like a marionette. Staring blankly at the tall mountains in the distance, it took a long time before he managed to say:

"You want to cross the Screaming Mountains!?"

"Otherwise?" Marvin said casually: "There is no food in the territory, within a week. We have to come back!"

"This is the only shortcut."

...

The Scream Mountains, an almost forgotten mountain.

It lies across the barbaric south of Gemstone Bay. Small places like the White River Valley are actually not shown on the maps of many big city-states in the south!

The people of Gem Bay seldom venture south because of the Scream Mountains.

In fact, the White River Valley and Gemstone Bay are only separated by this mountain range.

As long as you cross this mountain range, you can open up trade channels between the White River Valley and Jewel Bay.

But no one would do that.

First of all, the White River Valley is a small place, and it doesn't have the ability to open this road. Secondly, the Baoshiwan side has no interest in doing business with a small rural village.

Monsters are entrenched on the Screaming Mountains. All kinds of creatures emerge in endlessly.

If it wasn't for a mysterious force that prevented these monsters from leaving the mountains, Gemstone Bay would suffer from monster attacks every day.

Harpy, Wyvern. Gore oozes, and some even claim to have seen a green dragon lurking in the Scream Mountains!

No one knows how many monsters there are in this mountain.

It's just that they were suppressed by a mysterious force, and they didn't come out to do harm.

Only adventurers who are not afraid of death will occasionally enter the Screaming Mountains to hunt for treasure, but these are only a small number of desperadoes.

Most adventurers still cherish their lives, and the Screaming Mountains are always a forbidden area for life.

It is located in the White River Valley, south of the Screaming Mountains. It's a pretty peaceful place. Except for the gang of gnolls who invaded some time ago, this place has not encountered any monster invasion.

Start from the castle. Going northwest is the direction of the northern mines and River Beach City, and going northeast is the entrance to the Screaming Mountains.

Marvin is going to cross the Screaming Mountains tonight!

As night fell, it gave a different feeling to the Scream Mountains shrouded in mist.

beautiful view.

But Laura is going crazy!

"Excuse me, my lord, are you a legend?" Laura asked loudly in the deserted wilderness.

"No," Marvin replied.

"Excuse me, my lord, do you no longer have any nostalgia for life?" Laura asked frantically.

"But no." Marvin responded.

"Excuse me, my lord, do you want to execute me in a different way?" Laura looked ashamed.

"Of course not."

Marvin pulled Laura, didn't say much, and occasionally answered a few words, just hurrying on his way.

The girl who used to talk a lot finally gave up on asking after several fruitless questions.

The two of them walked all the way until they arrived at the place Marvin thought of until the moon was in the middle of the sky.

It was a desolate gravel field.

There is a steep hill ahead.

However, Marvin continued to walk eastward, turned back several times in front of the hillside, and finally stopped in front of a cave.

"What's in here?" Laura asked nervously.

"It's a tunnel nobody knows about."

Marvin finally spoke: "Through this tunnel, we can cross the Screaming Mountains to Jewel Bay overnight."

"Going this way is much safer than going up."

"So there's a secret way!" Laura suddenly relaxed, showing a look of admiration: "I didn't expect you to know so much."

"Don't relax just yet."

Marvin brushed aside the weeds at the entrance of the cave, and took a step inside: "It's not all dangerous inside."

"This road has a name."

"It's called [Spider Crypt]."

"As the name suggests, there's a lot waiting for us inside."

"They're hungry. Always."
