Chapter 066 Darkness

There is endless darkness in the dense forest.

The maids, however, drove them in with gentle smiles, like shepherds urging lambs to the slaughter.

They are just reserve saints.

From birth to now, I have only learned how to be a person with "noble character".

They are powerless and can only pray.

All the children nestled beside their nannies like baby birds and were unwilling to leave.

But the maids' patience seemed to have reached its limit.

The leading nanny's face instantly darkened.

Almost everyone was frightened when his usually gentle face turned into such a dark one.

"This is a test from the Mother Goddess! Do you still want to be a child loved by the Mother Goddess?"

The young birds huddled together, trembling.

Many people subconsciously answered: "Yes!"

Nanny instantly showed a satisfied expression.

Thirteen walked up to Seventeen and Nineteen and grabbed them: "We'll go together later."

Seventeen and Nineteen both nodded.

The forest is dark and dense, and they have known since childhood that there are countless horrors hidden in it. They must stay in the Mother Goddess's territory, because only the Mother Goddess can protect them from the monsters.

But they never thought that one day they would have to leave the Mother Goddess's territory themselves.

It was like a cat that had been domesticated for a long time being suddenly released into the wild. It just trembled in fear. It had already been tamed and had lost the courage of a hunter.

Sheshe secretly counted the crowd and found there were nearly a hundred of them. The maids directly divided them into three teams and assigned them tasks.

"You must enter those lights, find the secrets of light within those lights, and then bring the secrets back. If you are afraid, pray to the Mother Goddess."

The snake spit out its snake tongue. It seems that they have already understood that "once entering the light, one will lose the ability", but the problem is that it is very obvious that these reserve saints are carefully cultivated by them. Whether they are used as sacrifices or as anchors, they are very important materials.

Why did they abandon all the reserve saints halfway and use them as consumables for exploring the way, and why did they have to use them to wade into those "ordinary people's beams"? There were indeed many terrifying things lurking in those dense forests, and the snake could clearly sense it.

The reason why little girls have to go.

Is it because they are the only ones who go in?

Snake speculated.

Unfortunately, if these maids saw it, they would not tell it in a nice way, but would just catch it and take it away.

***

Simulation number two is over.

Wu You was still a little dazed.

It ended a little suddenly, and he clicked on the "Achievement Character" panel newly added to the simulator.

The little swordsman inside finally appeared in a portrait. He has a handsome face, a high ponytail, and extremely clear and bright eyes. The pose in the portrait is that of him silently drawing his sword. He is really a handsome young man with high spirits. There are many flickering lights around him, and he holds a puppet in his arms.

Wu You only remembered that the young swordsman had a fight with a powerful enemy who suddenly appeared. However, when Wu You recalled it later, he could see that this powerful enemy seemed to have been secretly making things difficult for the young swordsman. He instigated the national teacher to be hostile to another him, and instigated a scholar to give him questions since he had dropped out of school early.

He really can't rest and is always jumping around everywhere, yet he succeeds every time. Wu You occasionally really wants to do some anti-fraud publicity for the people in that world.

Fortunately, in the end the people had sharp eyes and knew who to support, so the other "him" defeated the guy who liked to use shady tricks but was surprisingly overly powerful, as everyone expected.

Talents also evolved in battles of extremely high intensity, and titles were also earned.

"It turns out that you can evolve by successfully completing the 'main quest'!"

Wu You muttered to himself. The No. 2 simulation position was already vacant, but Wu You was really dizzy looking at the four simulation slots. The "Conceptual Ordinary Man" talent that appeared after the No. 2's "Ordinary Man Identity Card" evolved was fixed on the little swordsman along with the end of No. 2's simulation.

In short, if you want to start the simulation, there are no talents in the talent slot, and only one title "The Boat Carrying Hope" can be installed. But what's the difference between rushing in like this and running naked?

Wu You finally understood that only a high-quality and valuable simulation could produce good talents, such as the "Conceptual Ordinary Man" who was already leaning towards conceptual skills. Otherwise, it would all depend on the luck of drawing cards. His luck in drawing cards was not good at all, so it could only be said that he was not destined to have powerful talents.

So Wu You planned to wait a while before starting the simulation again.

When Wu You thought of the "concept of ordinary people", he couldn't help but rub his palms excitedly.

He opened his own panel and installed "Conceptual Ordinary Person" in the talent column.

"I said, I want to go out!"

His powerful voice echoed in the room, and Wu You immediately looked around impatiently for a door that had suddenly appeared so that he could exit.

Wu You shed sweat from his hard work in the villa. He searched the entire villa but still couldn't find a way out.

He tried the concept technique many times with different speaking angles.

Wu You was completely puzzled and got so angry that he punched the wall, and the recoil made him scream.

"It hurts! Wait, it hurts?" Wu You looked incredulous and hammered again. Holding up his two swollen hands, Wu You finally understood why this concept skill was useless to him: "When I said that there were only ordinary people in this territory, I was the boss of this territory. So I became an ordinary person? Me?"

"Useless!" Wu You's face was full of pain.

He was originally just an ordinary person, so why did he need to be affirmed? Once the skill was activated, the "Strength as Strong as an Ox" on his weapon stopped working. It was useful, but there was no one else here except him! It was really useless to eat it, and it was a pity to throw it away!

But soon, Wu You became happy. This meant that it was feasible to use the simulator to brush up talents and then get out. If he could brush out such a miraculous skill, wouldn't it be easy for him to brush up the skills of unlocking or teleporting in the future?

There is still hope in life.

He opened a bottle of happy water optimistically. He remembered the talent of his fourth brother - "Tongue Twister Forbidden Spell Mage". He had equipped it before, but it was of no use to him in escaping.

But now Wu You thought, if "Ordinary People's Identity Card" can evolve into a conceptual skill, then "Tongue Twister Forbidden Spell Master" shouldn't be too bad after evolving, right?

He quickly opened the simulation of his fourth child.

"Hmm? Going out and exploring? Interesting."

[0 years old: After leaving the gathering place, the voices of those children rang out in the silent forest, making the snake feel a little uneasy.]

***

Black, deep black, pitch black everywhere.

Snake has been listening to a lot of children's prayers recently.

Identify many prayers.

There was a sentence in these prayers that said "Mother of all living things, shines on all directions". The snake did not quite understand the meaning at first, but once he walked out of the so-called "territory of the Mother Goddess", he discovered that "light" was actually a luxury here.

The Mother Goddess brings "Light" to Her realm.

Even if it is just a piece of fake "light", in the hearts of these children who have never seen the sun, it is the most dazzling light and a gift from God.

In human’s impression, “light” has always represented civilization and order, and even more so, safety.

In contrast, "darkness" only means danger and disorder in the genes accumulated by human beings.

"Mother God, Mother God, bless us, Mother God, Mother God, bless your children."

The accumulated habit of praying made the trembling voices gradually grow from weak to strong, and those prayers seemed to give them strength.

The snake flicked its tongue and its amber eyes scanned the swaying branches.

For humans, darkness is a hunting ground where people are hunted.

But for snakes, darkness is the best cover for hunters.

Snakes here not only do not feel fear, but instead feel excitement filling their blood.

There was quiet darkness everywhere. They had no light and could only grope their way forward in the darkness.

Suddenly, a child walking on the side stopped and said in a trembling voice: "You, you...just now..."

The interrupted children glared: "Stop interrupting!"

The child had no choice but to shut her mouth. She glanced in a certain direction very uneasily. She seemed to have seen a pale face just now, but when she looked again, there seemed to be nothing.

Was it her illusion? Where would people from such a place come from? Maybe she was seeing things.

They continued to pray, and had come to the point in the prayer where they repeated the word most frequently - "Frog Mother", which was also the real name of what they called the Mother Goddess.

The snake spit out its tongue, and its cold body poked out from the narrow opening of the book bag and wrapped around Nineteen's hanging wrist.

Nineteen was so frightened that her voice paused, but she soon understood what was going on, and she couldn't help but grab the hands of Seventeen and Thirteen.

In the amber snake pupil, a line reflected a little light at a certain angle.

"Mother Frog! Mother Frog! Our mother!"

"I beg you to cast your eyes——"

"ah--"

A sudden scream interrupted their prayers.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, the girl who had just spoken was actually flying in the air! But this was obviously not a blessing given to them by the frog mother!

The girl's eyeballs popped out, her face turned red, her feet kicked wildly, and her hands scratched her neck frantically, leaving traces of blood!

Apparently caught by some unknown monster!

"run!"

A heart-wrenching scream was heard.

Nineteen pulled Thirteen and Seventeen and ran out first.

Something was moving in the woods.

It happened too suddenly, without any warning, and in an instant, the children, who had always lived comfortably, were dragged into a dangerous quagmire!

Some people fled in all directions in fear for their survival, while others remained where they were, reciting prayers with horror on their faces. The expressions on their faces seemed even more pious under the shadow of their struggling limbs.

The prayer for help was drowned out by the sound of something being embedded in the body and tearing!

“Hiss!”

Snake poked his head out to show the way.

Darkness allows terror to continue to ferment.

Not being able to see clearly, not being able to hear clearly, the unknown is the highest level of fear.

Everyone was fleeing frantically under the gaze of the hunter behind them, while the hunter behind the scenes was feeling smug and enjoying the freshness of his prey.

The snake pointed the way while lying in wait quietly.

The deformed branches and thorns pierced their soft skin, oozing out blood of fear, like lambs being the best stimulant to wolves.

The monsters behind him were densely packed in the snake's eyes.

They were distributed crosswise behind the crowd, and from time to time they would pull one person away to fill their stomachs.

Everything seemed to be in despair.

Everyone's expressions gradually became confused in fear.

No one knew how many people were left around them, they could only hear their hurried footsteps gradually decreasing.

The intense running squeezes the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe.

In the endless darkness, where is the hope of life?

Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in everyone's eyes.

Nineteen, who was running in the front, couldn't help but be dazzled by the dazzling light and felt like crying.

They didn't notice that the monsters also quickened their hunting pace the moment they noticed the light.

The beam of light enveloped a patch of grass.

Seems so close.

Everyone suddenly felt angry and had only one thought left!

Escape into that light!

Rushing forward suddenly, there was never a moment when I felt that the existence of light was so luxurious!

Countless threads gushed out like waves, determined to keep them in darkness.

——It’s this time!

The hunter in the darkness opened his amber eyes.

Accompanied by a terrifying and mysterious spell!

A huge fireball suddenly rose in the middle!

The blazing flames ignited the branches in the dense forest, instantly illuminating the monster behind the forest.

Countless pairs of terrifying black compound eyes are stuck to the trunk like eggs. Under the shaking branches and leaves, dense hairs grow on countless abdominal limbs.

A number of pale heads hung upside down on the monster's lower abdomen, swaying with the rapid movements.

——Those are countless human-headed spiders!

The fireball collided with the spider silk and dissolved around both of them.

The group of spiders that were caught off guard and burned by the flames howled.

In the ghost's cry.

Everyone finally escaped into the beam of light!

The team of dozens of people at that time now only has a dozen left.

The crowd crowded into the soft light in fear, and finally felt unprecedented peace. They huddled together in fear, as if they were a group of chicks that were forced to face a world of horror as soon as they were born.

Those Spider-Men finally rushed across the terrifying line of fire.

Came to the light.

Outside the scattered light, countless spiders with countless pairs of eyes opened surrounded them.

Suddenly, a Spider-Man was seen rushing over without being able to stop, and with his head hanging upside down, he suddenly crashed into the light!

Amid the crowd's terrified screams, its shadow suddenly shrank from half a person's height to a finger's width, and its terrifying and hideous appearance completely changed to ordinary!

Everyone was stunned.

The spider was completely unaware and fell headfirst at Nineteen's feet.

Nineteen swallowed fearfully, and the girls behind him quickly pushed Nineteen into the crowd.

But in the light, all I saw was a long black jade-like object hanging from Nineteen's wrist. His amber eyes made people's hearts tremble, and his dark scales were shining.

The terrifying hunter leisurely got off the keeper, looked at the dazed spider, and ignored the crowd of spiders that were eyeing it outside the light beam.

He spat out the snake's tongue and swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp.

"Hiss——" Everyone gasped.
