Chapter 72: Forbidden Land of Ghost Forest (6)
=========
Because the therapeutic effect of braised pork has always been very good, and the desire to find Jian Lin quickly prevailed for a while, Yi Han ran towards the target direction without checking his own condition.
But after running not far, I realized something was wrong.
Why does it seem like my running speed has slowed down and my steps have become smaller...?
Yi Han looked down while running and found that his originally long legs seemed to have become shorter, and when he stretched out his hands, they seemed to have become smaller?
"The sealing power of the pool water is that it will weaken people's abilities and bodies..." a27 said carefully.
Yi Han kept running, but when he turned around and saw the fishman lying unconscious in the woods, he suddenly realized why the fishmen in the swamp were all big fish, while the ones falling from the sky were all small fish.
After being weakened in all aspects by the pool water, he even turned into a child?!
"Brother, it's okay. You will recover in a few days. Even if you become a little kid... bah, I mean little boy! You are still very handsome, handsome, cool and strong!" a27 hurried to comfort him.
“…” Yi Han didn’t want to pay attention to him.
After running continuously with his child's body, he soon felt a little tired.
As a tough guy with good physical fitness, Yi Han hadn't felt this kind of exhaustion for a long time. But now the fishmen who fell with him began to wake up one after another, and many ghost players took this opportunity to go out and kill fish. If Jian Lin was picked up by the fishmen or players first, it would be bad.
Yi Han quickened his pace, not even bothering to deal with the little fishman that passed by him, until he felt his throat smoking, his legs became weak, and he could no longer run, before he finally arrived at the place indicated by a27.
“This is too poor…”
As he approached, Yi Han heard a male voice mumbling.
He gasped and quickened his pace, bypassing rows of trees. Then he saw a tall and fat male player squatting on the ground as if searching for something. Lying in front of him was the unconscious Jian Lin...the child version of him.
Because of his shrunk size and the fact that he had fallen from such a great height, little Jian Lin's clothes were torn by the tree branches, his body was covered in blood, and his eyes were closed, making him look extremely pitiful.
"What are you doing?!" Yi Han approached without lowering his footsteps or breathing, but the man seemed to be absorbed in searching and didn't notice anything. He was wearing a white glove and was constantly searching Jian Lin's pocket. The glove seemed to be some kind of special prop, probably used to steal things from other people's belongings. The fat man was concentrating on searching, but was suddenly frightened by Yi Han's voice and sat down on the ground.
It seems that this person's fighting ability is not strong, and he relies entirely on stealing props to strengthen himself.
Yi Han glanced at the Book of Fear and other things that Jian Lin had taken out of his pocket on the ground beside him. He didn't waste any more words with him. He directly shot out an iron chain, tied it around his neck, and then hit him with a backhand. The opponent fainted on the ground in surprise.
Even though his body has become smaller and his strength is insufficient, Yi Han's weapons are still genuine S-level and S+-level, so it is still easy for him to deal with this kind of fool.
Using an iron chain to drag the person who was pressing on Jian Lin to the side, Yi Han hurried forward to check on the poor child's condition.
Jian Lin has died once, so he shouldn't die again... If he was a regular NPC on duty in this level, he would most likely be pulled offline by the system to rest after being seriously injured and unconscious. However, this level is actually a punishment level, and most of the players in it are lonely ghosts who are not signed by the company. There is no such option as "resting offline" - just like in the previous "madhouse", Yi Han also relied on mortgage to the system to exchange points after knocking out those ghosts. But Jian Lin is neither a regular NPC on duty nor a lonely ghost. If he suffers a serious injury that is enough to kill him again, Yi Han has no idea what the result will be.
"Ghosts won't die again, but if they are seriously injured, their souls may dissipate directly," a27 explained carefully, "But your friend shouldn't be that seriously injured. If you take good care of him when you go back and give him some supplements, he should be fine."
Yi Han nodded and sighed, but he still didn't feel relaxed.
He rescued Jian Lin from the mental hospital just because this person's abilities were useful to him.
Qin Yi's words to sow discord between the two before jumping into the pool were not entirely wrong: if Jian Lin lost this ability, he would be useless to Yi Han. Although Yi Han would not kill him for points, he would most likely want to end his relationship with him so that he could free up a pet slot to prepare for a new pet. Even if Jian Lin did not have this ability, Yi Han would not have gone to the insane asylum to save him.
As a person who has never had any friends, Yi Han had no intention of making friends with anyone since he entered this real escape game. In his opinion, if there is no value in mutual use, the so-called friendship may not be maintained. Jian Lin should also be able to see this, so he has been working hard to become stronger. After hearing Qin Yi's words yesterday, he was obviously very worried about losing his ability - but when facing danger later, Jian Lin did not hesitate and gave him the ability directly to repay him for saving his life.
Yi Han felt that this child was really stupid.
After confirming that Jian Lin would be fine for the time being, Yi Han turned around and took off the gloves of the unconscious fat man.
[Piercing Hand]
【Quality: B+】
【Condition: 90% new】
[Description: Wearing this glove, you can pass through the space restriction and touch the hidden storage space.]
After seeing this description, Yi Han was quite satisfied. It was indeed a tool specially used for searching corpses.
After taking it for himself without any hesitation, Yi Han also conducted some experiments on the fat man. He first searched his storage space. Unfortunately, this man's fighting ability was not very good. Even with this prop, he did not save many good things.
After searching for a long time, Yi Han only got some small items. After putting them all away, he told the system to knock out all the players after the robbery and mortgage them all for points.
System: ………Okay.
So, because the hole in the sky had been blown up, Yi Han's character value was enough for him to get the normal coefficient points. After a short rest, he carried Jian Lin on his back and began carpet robbery and hunting in the woods.
Unlike the original Madhouse, where players were inside the building, Yi Han had the floor plan in hand, and he only needed to search the map one by one to knock out people. After searching each floor, he would lock the door, so basically no fish would slip through the net. But this time, the map of the "Ghost Forest Forbidden Land" was open, which made it difficult for him to clean up the battlefield. Fortunately, he also had the cheat code of a27, the God's perspective.
After promising a whole set of delicious food, a27 pointed the way for Yi Han very attentively, constantly reporting the location of the murlocs and players. Yi Han, holding an iron pot, knocked over anyone he saw, and soon the loot in his inventory piled up into a small mountain.
“Although I feel sorry for the workload of the employees, why do I feel so happy watching you kill monsters!” a27 said naggingly, “Brother, you are really awesome. Your strength has been weakened so much, but you are still so good at fighting. Awesome!!”
I kept collecting things like this, listening to the points information broadcast by the system, from early morning to evening.
In the evening, Yi Han finally returned to the entrance of the swamp. When he entered the swamp yesterday at noon, he tied the unlucky players whose houses were robbed to the trees. Later, because they jumped into the pool, they fell down with the heavy rain at midnight and were unconscious until morning. No one untied these people. They had been tied up for a day and a half, and they seemed to be almost fainted from hunger.
"Little boy, be good and come here quickly to untie the ropes for us..." When they saw the miniature version of Yi Han carrying Jian Lin on his back from afar, their eyes lit up and they called out to him in a low voice, while still looking at Xiao Hei who was sleeping due to hunger.
Having walked through almost the entire forest that day, Yi Han had deceived many players with his current appearance. Although they did not dare to show their malice directly because they wanted to increase their character value, Yi Han still felt the secret coaxing and inducement of many players. Of course, they usually only had the chance to say that one sentence. When Yi Han approached, people all lay on the ground and became quiet.
At this time, one of the five people in front of him had been confused by Qin Yi. But after being weakened by the "pond", Qin Yi's ability was sealed, so that person had regained consciousness and, like the other four people, was dizzy and hungry, and asked Yi Han for help.
Of course Yi Han would not save him. Those who were sent to this level by the system were not good people, and Yi Han had no psychological pressure to brush up his points.
Under the horrified gazes of these people, Yi Han picked up the pot and knocked them unconscious one by one, then stripped their belongings one by one.
These five people also turned into points under the pot.
"It should be almost done, but where is Qin Yi hiding?" After Yi Han finished this job, the child was so tired that he had to rest on the spot. When he was beating someone just now, Xiao Hei, who was sleeping, woke up when he heard the noise. When he saw his master coming back, he immediately came forward and rubbed against him affectionately and complained for a long time, but he didn't notice Yi Han's change.
"Well, looking at the map, there are only a few scattered players left, about four or five. Should we still keep looking for them?" a27 asked.
Although a27 is a chatterbox, he has been talking to him all day long and his mouth is almost dry. At this time, 99% of the points in the forest have been taken by Yi Han. In fact, it is not cost-effective to spend more effort to pick up the remaining four or five people...
"Yes, tell me their coordinates." However, Yi Han was still determined to continue to score points.
He wasn't called a score-boosting maniac for nothing... 1 point was still a point, and Yi Han didn't want to lose even a single point, except for levels like the prison where the system restricted him and prevented him from exploring the entire map.
So a27 had to cheer up and continue reporting coordinates. After Yi Han fed Xiao Hei a simple meal, he quickly set off again. It was not until it was completely dark that he found Qin Yi in the small house where he had lived before.
In this part of the world, it rains every night. At this moment, there were only a few dozen minutes left before the rainstorm began. Qin Yi hid in the hut in advance and locked the doors and windows - it was a good plan.
Yi Han was not polite at all, he smashed the door and people with one pot.
Qin Yi, whose body was also shrunk by the rain, was beaten to the ground before he could say anything. Yi Han searched his inventory, but it was empty.
"Waste." Yi Han immediately expressed his disgust.
But think about it, Qin Yi was tricked by him in the previous level and used up all his life-saving props. Not long after entering the ghost forest, he was caught by him again. Then he failed to harm Yi Han and escaped from the pool. He finally survived after falling from a high altitude, but his strength was weakened and his appearance became that of a little brat. Now he probably can't even kill the little fish. It's good enough for him to be alive...
"Are there any fish that have slipped through the net? If not, you can prepare to go home." Yi Han mortgaged his points, clapped his hands, and finally said.
