Chapter 444 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui also took out their phones to check, and it turned out that there really was no signal. However, their phones were not bought in the instance, but were bought by Lin Leyou in the endless world outside the instance. It seems that they can be used regardless of whether there is a signal or not.
He randomly pressed a few buttons on his phone, and Xue Rui simultaneously sent over some random symbols. Clearly, the two of them could send messages to each other without restriction.
After putting away her phone, Roman started rummaging through her bag. Her bag contained many things she had prepared beforehand. She casually took out some to eat. "You guys should eat something too. After you eat, get some rest. The map he gave us isn't very useful anymore. We'll definitely have a tougher time from now on. Nothing happened last night, but I don't know if we'll be able to get through tonight safely."
After saying that, she looked around with some concern, "We can only camp out tonight. With so many of us gathered together, I don't know if those wild animals can smell our scent."
Lin Leyou paused slightly. "Scented? I haven't showered for two days, shouldn't it smell bad?"
Roman froze. She was a woman and usually quite clean, but she could definitely smell the stench emanating from herself. Seriously? She had been walking along the mountain path for two whole days, all bundled up and covered in sweat, feeling stuffy and hot. She hadn't thought about this before, but now she suddenly felt like spoiled food, sour and smelly!
Lin Leyou noticed her expression was off. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Roman swallowed what was in his mouth and wanted to speak, but then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't brushed his teeth for two days, and suddenly felt that the food he had just swallowed was dirty...
Oh well, even if they're dirty, they're still her own teeth. Besides, she doesn't have the luxury of such conditions right now. She'll definitely clean herself up properly once she gets back from Xiushan Village.
"It's alright, you guys eat quickly. After you finish eating, take a short rest. I don't know if there's any water nearby, but you can at least wash up a bit."
Lin Leyou looked at the map and realized that there was indeed no water source around their current location, but everyone had water with them, so they didn't care even if there was no water source around.
"Whether you have it or not, don't go too far at night. In such dense forests, you might get lost in no time. If that happens, no one will come looking for you, and you'll have to fend for yourself."
Roman took a deep breath. "I know I won't go out alone, at most..."
At most, she would go to the toilet alone, but she would never go too far. The mountains and forests at night were really too terrifying, especially with the unknown future ahead.
As night deepened, those who were supposed to sleep were asleep, and those who were supposed to wake up were awake. Although Lin Leyou glanced at his watch, he wasn't worried that Jiang Changdong would discover the watch's true purpose. The system shop was for players, not residents!
That's right, the residents of the endless world don't have this system shop! Lin Leyou is there because he's the only exception!
In other words, Jiang Changdong had no idea what the watch-like thing was for. The red dot on the dial was lit up. Lin Leyou smiled slightly, knowing that Jiang Changdong was about to make his move.
But it's okay, I will definitely not let him succeed.
He slowly got up and walked away. Roman was already asleep, while Xue Rui was resting against a rock with his eyes closed. It was unclear whether he was asleep or not, but he seemed completely unaware of Lin Leyou's departure.
Jiang Changdong saw him leave. Lin Leyou was definitely going to the second team. After he walked a distance away, he noticed the blue dot on the dial lit up, so he left as quickly as possible, leaving Jiang Changdong far behind. Although Jiang Changdong followed, he really couldn't find any trace of Lin Leyou.
He stood on a rock with a gloomy face, wearing a pair of glasses-like props on his head. He looked around, not missing any corner, but still couldn't find Lin Leyou.
"Where did he go... Right! Maybe he was equipped with a gadget too. It seems he's been on guard against me all along."
Jiang Changdong murmured, his expression returning to calm, "It's alright, you'll always come back anyway, just wait and see."
Since he couldn't find Lin Leyou, he didn't plan to waste any more time there. He turned around and prepared to return to where the main group was. But as soon as he turned around, he saw Xue Rui not far behind him.
He recognized Xue Rui immediately upon seeing him. This was the person who had been persuaded by Roman to join Lin Leyou's team. His name seemed to be Zheng Li.
Xue Rui stared at him expressionlessly in the darkness, without saying a word, but Jiang Changdong knew what his presence here meant.
Just as Jiang Changdong was about to say something, he suddenly remembered that the prop was still on his head. But it didn't matter; he could just say it was night vision goggles, since the other party wouldn't recognize them anyway.
"It's so late, what are you doing here? Go home quickly, it's easy to get lost if you wander around outside alone."
His voice was very gentle, as if Xue Rui were a junior he cared for, but Xue Rui was not appreciative at all, and instead asked coldly, "What are you doing here? Who are you looking for?"
Jiang Changdong thought that Xue Rui and Lin Leyou were now in the same group, and he didn't know what their relationship was like now, so he could only say slowly, "It's nothing, he just came out to take a look. After all, he went out alone just now, and it's easy for something to happen to him. We just couldn't find him."
"By the way, have you seen him? I'm not exaggerating, but when I came here alone to scout ahead before, I encountered danger more than once, don't you think?"
Xue Rui, "Who did you see?"
Jiang Changdong was slightly taken aback by the question. "The one who went out alone just now, wasn't he part of a temporary team with you and Roman? How could you forget?"
Xue Rui didn't say anything, but turned around and walked back, as if he hadn't heard him at all. Jiang Changdong was also a little confused, as he had never met someone like Xue Rui before.
There was no other way; he couldn't just kill this person right now, could he? Although it would be easy for him, he didn't intend to do it. Losing one or two people would affect the morale of the entire team.
He also intended to use these people as cannon fodder as he made his way to Xiushan Village. As for the location of Xiushan Village, the original owner had only managed to determine its approximate location after making numerous inquiries based on his memories.
He took out the unique map from his backpack, which circled a general area. Based on the information he had gathered, Xiushan Village was within this area, but...
However, the area is still too large. If you are lucky, you will definitely find it when you get there. But if you are unlucky, you will probably have to search everywhere. If you are even unlucky, then it is not within this area. Moreover, finding the original site of Xiushan Village does not mean that the buried treasure is in Xiushan Village.
"Forget it, finding the village is more important right now. As for everything else, we can talk about it after we get there. We don't even know how many of these people will make it to the village alive."
Moreover... he couldn't find Lin Leyou. He didn't know where the guy had gone or what kind of tool he had used. Of course, he didn't plan to kill Lin Leyou tonight; he just wanted to have a good chat with him.
Xue Rui returned to his resting place, glanced at Roman who was still sleeping, and then closed his eyes to rest again. Actually, for him and Lin Leyou, it was more liberating to be alone, but now was not the time.
Lin Leyou was currently with the second team. There were noticeably more people from the second team going out tonight, and many of them were going out alone. This was probably because the three people who died yesterday had made them more vigilant.
They probably thought the missing people were all killed by some of their companions, so some people went out tonight, but dared not go out with anyone else.
However, Lin Leyou did not intend to kill all the people who went out alone. He only selected two of them who were relatively close by and used his Ghost Wall talent to trap them inside.
Anyway, it's so dark now, and there are dense forests all around. Even if it's a ghost wall, they probably won't find him for a while, which will make it easier for him to kill the two of them.
He took out the cursed dagger and targeted one of the people first. As long as the person was not stronger than him, he could kill him with one blow. Inside the ghost wall, Lin Leyou skillfully and silently approached one of the people and slashed down from behind. He thought this blow would kill him, but unexpectedly, the person dodged it!
It's a player!
Although it's within the "ghost wall" of his own talent, it's just a ghost wall; he can't control what's inside, he can only let them spin around inside.
The person dodged, and Lin Leyou immediately left the area of the ghost wall before he turned around, entering from the other side to ambush another person. Fortunately, this person was just an ordinary NPC, and he was killed with one strike.
He casually moved the corpses to the lush weeds outside the Ghost Wall, then entered the Ghost Wall. This other player had to be killed; he couldn't let him escape.
Lin Leyou smiled slightly. This player was a skilled expert with a lot of items. He just didn't know if the player could match him.
Since it's difficult to kill him quickly in close combat, let's switch to another item: an empty shell, a gold-plated weapon he hasn't used much before, and it even has a gold-plated gem embedded in it!
Holding the empty weapon in his hand, he slowly crept into the space where he was trapped in the maze, but the other side seemed to have some kind of tool, and quickly discovered where he was.
Lin Leyou looked at him and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. But even so, you're going to die anyway. Sorry, I'll send you on your way."
Before the other party could even speak, Lin Leyou had already adjusted the firing distance and intensity of his air gun. He fired a shot, intending to headshot the target, but the shot missed!
