Chapter 896 Chapter 3: Witch Forest
In short, in order to finish the battle as soon as possible, the king drove the hero and his goblin followers out of the palace.
But in fact, he couldn't finish it at all.
Until the Demon King was defeated, he could only sit on the not-so-luxurious hard throne.
"Li Muhan, please hurry up. I don't know how much longer my old waist can hold out."
Finally, Cen Lin sent the brave man and the goblin away almost in a pleading tone.
"I won't complain about why you're set as a goblin for now."
Outside the royal city, on a barren land, the brave man, the goblin, and the saint who had changed into light clothes were walking together.
"But why would a goblin go on an adventure with a hero?!"
"Fuck! Captain! Who should I ask if you ask me?! I have accepted my identity! Can you please stop complaining!" Then Goblin Ziyu pointed at the saint beside him.
"Shouldn't you be complaining about this person?! Why did a newbie NPC come with us?!"
Not only did the saint not feel nervous at all, but she jumped all the way, as excited as an elementary school student on a spring outing.
"This is the first time I've walked out of that royal city! The world outside is so beautiful!"
A cold wind blew by, sweeping away the last dead weed on the barren land.
The hero sighed and said, "I'm beginning to sympathize with you. You actually think this world is beautiful."
"Captain, where are we going now?"
Goblin Ziyu asked as he followed the hero with a large backpack on his back.
"Logically speaking, they should give us a phased mission, right? But Director Cen hasn't said anything. Isn't this open world a little too simplistic?"
"You don't understand. The so-called open world is all about freedom. Anyway, our ultimate goal is to kill the Demon King. If we kill the Demon King, we'll be done with the book, right?"
"Probably, so what do you suggest?" asked the brave man.
"Hey~ Then instead of going straight to the main quest, why not find some side quests to explore? We haven't been given a set time."
Looking at the cheerful look on Goblin Ziyu's face, the hero really didn't know how this could be called a dark goblin. He just wanted to give him a fifth-generation Rick.
"Hero, Mr. Goblin! The Witch Forest is just ahead! Be careful! I heard there's a very, very evil, scary witch living there! She specializes in capturing passing travelers and then stewing them in a pot!"
"Is this witch from the Northeast? Stewing a big goose in an iron pot?" the brave man complained.
"Captain, shouldn't the complaints be about the fact that there are still travelers in this desolate world?"
Li Muhan looked up and saw that there was indeed a large dead forest in front of him. There was also a dark cloud covering his head, which formed a few words.
There are bad guys here
"Let's... take a detour?" Goblin Zi Yu said, looking at the obviously dangerous forest.
"Okay, let's take a detour."
As they were about to turn around, the saint held them back.
"No detours! Brave man! You must go through all eighty-one trials!"
"Sister! I'm going to defeat the Demon King! Not to seek Buddhist scriptures! We don't even have decent equipment right now! How can we fight!"
Li Muhan actually vaguely realized that although this simple world was made to look like a game.
But it is indeed the heart of the world.
In other words, this is indeed the real world, so if you die here, there will be no reloading and starting over like in the game.
"And there aren't any wild monsters on this road! I have to level up!"
"Actually, my hero, there are wild monsters."
Li Muhan and the saint's eyes met, and then they both understood something. Finally, they both slowly turned their heads to look at the goblin Ziyu who was carrying a large backpack.
"Ah? Ah!?! What?! I'm a companion! Not a monster!"
"How can a goblin be your companion? You must be a hidden reward from the system. Come on, Ziyu, let me beat you up! Maybe I can gain some experience!"
"Captain! Captain! Stop! Ouch!!"
After being slapped, Lin Ziyu finally confirmed something.
It is not a wild monster, and you will not gain experience or drop equipment by killing it.
Now they were in trouble.
If you keep avoiding danger like this all the way, then even if you meet the devil, you will be killed instantly.
Finally, Li Muhan made up his mind.
"If a man dies, his dick will be up in the air. Just die. Come on."
So he held a fire stick in his hand, led his followers and the saint into the dark forest.
At the same time, in the deepest part of the dark forest, in a small wooden house built on the swamp.
The evil witch was watching the group through her crystal ball.
"Hahaha! A fresh human! Hahaha!"
...
...
quack--
The pixel-style crows kept circling overhead, and then made electronic sounds to simulate crow calls, which sounded even more terrifying.
Li Muhan also discovered that the deeper he went into the forest, the more realistic the surrounding models and scenes became, making it difficult for him to tell whether it was a game or reality.
"Captain, something's wrong here. I feel like there are a lot of eyes... watching us."
"Don't panic. You are a goblin. If you can't win, you can negotiate with them and see if they can spare our lives." Li Muhan said.
Just as they finished their words, several dark shadows suddenly jumped down from the twisted and withered tree.
"Ahhh!! It's a monster!!" The saint covered her face and screamed while rushing behind Li Muhan.
Li Muhan was speechless. Why use Xia Yue and Xia Luer's faces to create such a character?
And he also saw the true faces of those dark shadows.
That turned out to be...
A bunch of Q-version kittens, but the sounds coming out of the mouths of these Q-soft kitten monsters are very strange.
"quack--"
“Ahhhhh——”
"Chuckle, chuckle."
The three kittens, after being transformed into Q-version characters, are obviously hostile to the brave group.
"Captain!! This little thing is so abstract!"
Goblin Ziyu was also frightened and shrank behind the hero.
Li Muhan felt that these kittens... looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
But there was no time for him to think about it now, as several little ones had already jumped over bouncyly.
That look is not scary at all, but very cute.
So Li Muhan carefully extended the wooden stick over, and the three kittens actually started rubbing the stick with their cheeks, which made them even cuter.
"Hahaha, just this thing, look how scared you two are..."
Before Li Muhan finished speaking, he heard a crunching sound.
When they looked back, the three of them gasped.
Oh my god, those three little ones bit the wooden stick into pieces one by one, and the sharp teeth in their mouths were still emitting a creepy cold light.
"Oh my god! Run!!"
Li Muhan was the first to escape, followed closely by Goblin Ziyu.
"Ahh! Wait, wait! I, I'm a girl! Carry me and run!!"
Seeing the saint standing there with her legs limp with fear, and the three little creatures getting closer and closer to her, Li Muhan didn't dare to delay. What if this saint was an important NPC?
"I knew it!! Hero, you will definitely protect me...Alas!! The position is wrong! It should be a princess hug!!"
So he hurried back, picked up the saint, and rushed forward desperately as if he was carrying a dead pig to be slaughtered during the New Year.
“Ga ga ga!! Ga ga ga!”
"Ouch! Ouch!"
"Chuckle~Chuckle~"
The three little things seemed to be irritated, and then they chased after the three people.
Li Muhan and others ran for their lives, and then he took the time to look back.
“What the hell!!”
Instead of disappearing, the strange kittens behind them gathered in larger and larger numbers. There were already hundreds of them chasing after them.
"You, you, you! Aren't you going to kill monsters?! Captain! Hurry up!"
"I, I don't have a weapon!!"
"That thing you're carrying on your shoulder! Just use it as a weapon!"
“Wuwuwu!! How rude! I’m a noble saint! Wuwuwu!”
Just like that, the three of them were lost in the forest like headless flies.
In the house above the swamp, the witch watched this scene with an excited expression.
"Such~~Cute cats~Cat~So many cats~Why are you running?! You're surrounded by so many cats!! Shouldn't you be happy?! A bunch of tasteless mortals!!"
Her excitement was fleeting, and then a hint of anger appeared on her face. Finally, she waved her hand violently, and the ground beneath the feet of the three people running in the crystal ball suddenly began to sink and turned into a quagmire.
"What the hell!! What the hell is this!"
Goblin Ziyu yelled.
"Yes! It's a witch's trap! She, she noticed us! Wuuuu! I don't want to be stewed in an iron pot!!"
"Big sister! Do we have geese here?!"
There's something obviously wrong with this swamp because it's sinking so quickly.
Before the three of them had time to struggle, they were almost completely submerged. Before the group of cute cats rushed over, they were completely stuck in the quagmire.
His consciousness gradually became confused, and in confusion, Li Muhan heard a voice ringing in his ears.
"Hey, get up, you stupid humans, get up!"
This voice... sounds so familiar.
So Li Muhan slowly opened his eyes.
Then he suddenly found that his hands were tied with chains and hanging in the air.
The lights here were dim and there was a musky smell. Li Muhan slowly turned his head and found that the saint was also tied up with ropes and was sleeping quietly in the corner.
On the other side, Goblin Ziyu was even worse off.
He was tied tightly with ropes and hung upside down above a boiling pot. Something was stuffed in his mouth and he couldn't speak, but could only whimper in fear.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Look at me!"
The voice sounded again.
But when Li Muhan turned around and looked ahead, there was no one!
"Where are you?" Li Muhan asked.
"Asshole! Even in my dream, you want to mock me! Li Muhan!"
The sound came from slightly below.
So Li Muhan looked down and saw Yin Qi, who was wearing a witch robe that was obviously ill-fitting and a big hat, with her hands on her hips, glaring at him angrily.
"Oh, I remember now."
Li Muhan suddenly understood.
"I said I've seen those abstract things. Aren't those the paintings you often draw by yourself in the activity room?"
"What abstract shit! Don't you think those cats are cute?! Soft, furry, and incredibly fierce! They can kill with one strike! The perfect combination of strength and cuteness!"
"Wuwu!! Wuwuwu!!" Goblin Ziyu was crying beside him. Yin Qi felt annoyed, so he walked over and took out the thing stuffed in his mouth.
"Yin!! Yin Qi!! Why am I the only one hanging upside down!! And down there! This thing down there! You're not really going to kill me, are you?"
"Humph, this is just a dream, you are all my captives. Now~ let me, the cat witch, punish you, hehehehe~~"
......Goblin Ziyu suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Li Muhan and asked.
"Captain...don't you think this Yin Qi is also very abstract?"
"So I said, they are so reserved, but once their emotions explode, they are more terrifying than anyone else."
