Chapter 126 It’s Really Hard to Cheat

The shape of the part of the Casa Peninsula facing the sea is rather strange, it looks a bit like a bloody tooth, and the left and right sides extend out a little, so a small bay is formed.

On the other side of the bay, Li Miao can clearly see that it also has a channel with the dark border, which seems to be the road that Leti took.

As for the front of the Casa Peninsula, it corresponds to the dark border that is tightly shrouded, and it is unknown what is hidden inside.

The sky is gloomy and dark.

The air seems to be filled with dust of familiar ghosts, which makes people feel cold and lonely, and even a little fearful.

The entire Casa Peninsula seems to have no living people...

Li Miao is wearing the heavy armor of the Law Knight, holding a lance and a large shield, and slowly advancing on the road of the Casa Peninsula.

On the way forward, he did not encounter monsters. On the contrary, there are quite a few of these monsters, and they often launch sudden attacks from corners and dark places.

However, most of them are ghosts and so on, and their strength is relatively weak, so Li Miao can easily solve them.

Tsk!

The frost lance thrust out again, and the tip of the lance burning with war flames pierced through the body of a ghost fiercely, and the ice mist filled the air.

[You killed the wandering ghost]

[Obtained: Wax Oil × 4]

After killing the monster blocking the way, Li Miao stepped into this building that looked a little special.

This seemed to be a simple prayer room, and the sound of prayers could be heard faintly from inside, which was why Li Miao came here.

After entering the building, he also saw the situation inside clearly.

A group of ghosts with translucent bodies knelt on the ground, reciting prayers devoutly, as if they were begging for forgiveness.

However, the style of the leader was completely different.

It was not a ghost.

This was a monster with blue-brown skin, a hideous face, strong limbs, fangs and vertical pupils, and seemed to have long been accustomed to lying on the ground with all four limbs.

[Soul Eater's Throat]

[Rank: Embers]

[Level: 19]

[Talent: Soul Tearing Fangs]

[Skills: Soul as a Pawn, Tearing Claws, Corpse-Eating Tongue, Devouring Ghosts]

[Description: A monster that likes to eat ghosts, and can also eat corpses. It is not picky about food, and often appears with various natural disasters, but usually does not have the interest to pray with ghosts. ]

What is very outrageous is that such a monster that specializes in eating ghosts is actually praying with a group of ghosts in this building at this time.

It is simply a weasel bringing a chicken to pay New Year's greetings, and there is an indescribable weird feeling.

The noise Li Miao made when he came in was not small, at least people with normal ears can definitely hear it.

But whether it is the Soul Eater's Throat or the ghost behind it, it seems that they are unaware of it, or they see it and don't want to pay attention, and still pray devoutly on their own.

This makes Li Miao feel a little confused.

"Why are these monsters ignoring people?" Li Miao was a little confused. He walked forward and waved his hand in front of a ghost: "Can't you see me?"

"Roar!"

Li Miao's greeting seemed to stir up a hornet's nest. Whether it was the ghosts around or the Soul Eater above, they all stared at him in an instant.

"Roar!"

The Soul Eater roared angrily, then stretched out his hand and grabbed a ghost next to it, put it in his mouth, and began to chew it, making a sound like a normal person biting tough leather.

Weren't you getting along well just now? Why did you suddenly eat me as a snack?

Li Miao complained in his heart, then he picked up the frost lance in his hand, and a raging war flame ignited on his body...

After a while,

[You killed the Soul Eater]

[You killed the Praying Ghost]

[You killed the Praying Ghost]

[Obtained: Wax Oil × 32]

[……]

A monster of the Embers rank with a group of Ashes rank monsters, of course, was no match for Li Miao, who had already reached the Slag rank, and soon slaughtered the entire prayer room.

If the other party was not so numerous, Li Miao would not even need so much time.

After killing the Soul Eater and its minions, nothing useful dropped, and the Soul Eater was even more stingy and only gave Wax Oil.

Li Miao began to search in the prayer room, but still found nothing.

This made Li Miao frown, and he finally gave up after searching in vain.

Strange, why is there not even a text message or anything, this is unreasonable...

Could it be that the most useful thing he got from this is that the Soul Eater and the ghosts can live in peace?

It's really ridiculous...

Li Miao's mouth twitched, and he chose to move forward.

However, after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he came to the side, climbed up to the roof in two or three steps, found a relatively high place, and began to observe the entire Casa Peninsula.

Then he roughly observed the general situation inside the Casa Peninsula.

This peninsula is indeed very large, and the uneven houses and buildings are very messy, which is completely incomparable to the orderly coastal town.

In the middle of the Casa Peninsula, there is a very obvious burnt ruins, which seems to have been a large-scale fire.

Behind the ruins is a towering and huge city wall with a closed gate. It seems to be the most important place in the entire peninsula.

Since there is a relatively wide road in the center, he can still divide the entire peninsula based on this.

After taking in all these situations, Li Miao was thoughtful.

Soon, he continued to walk forward.

The guidance of the spiritual candle appeared again.

After lighting the milestone spiritual candle, Li Miao walked a distance, then suddenly stopped and half squatted down.

On the ground, a row of red words appeared in Li Miao's sight.

[Don't go to the well in the middle of the ruins! ]

[——Leti]

The red words seemed to be left with something similar to charcoal, and the traces were almost the same, but the color was different.

Don't go to the well in the center of the ruins?

What does it mean?

What is this guy doing?

Li Miao looked around suspiciously, but found nothing.

Li Miao didn't trust Leti very much. Now that this guy left information here, he could almost conclude that Leti had ulterior motives.

However.

Li Miao must go to the well in the center.

It's impossible for him to be scared by a word from the NPC and not even dare to explore the map.

The only thing that makes people curious is whether Leti wants him to go or not?

Forget it, you will know when you go.

Li Miao no longer thinks about it. As a player, the thing he fears least is death.

If there were no precedents of players being taken away by the clay pot man and suffering heavy losses, he would not have thought about this problem.

...

After clearing a lot of small monsters and elite monsters, Li Miao finally entered the central ruins.

This place seems to have been burned by a fire, with charred ruins everywhere, but no corpses can be seen.

He searched all the way and encountered many low-level or ember-level ghosts on the way, but he solved or avoided them one by one.

As he went deeper, the number of monsters encountered was also rapidly decreasing.

In the end, Li Miao found that there was no ghost around.

His eyes suddenly stopped and fell on one place.

In the open area in the center of this fire ruins, there is a well!

It seems that this is very likely the well mentioned in the advice book.

The ghost-filled situation on the Casa Peninsula may also be caused by it?

Some thoughts flashed through Li Miao's mind, but he quickly put them aside and began to observe the surroundings.

The surrounding fire ruins looked very peaceful, and even ghosts did not appear here, and it seemed that there was no danger.

He did not see Leti either.

Li Miao did not rush forward, but waited quietly for a moment and observed quietly.

But just as he was observing carefully, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Mr. Wei Ge, why are you here?"

Leti walked out from the side with his arms folded, with scars and bloodstains, and asked in a low voice.

He obviously regarded the name "Wei Ge" as Li Miao's real name, so it sounded strange.

"I told you not to come here, there is a very scary guy here, we are not its opponent!"

"Take this, it should be able to avoid that guy."

As he said, Leti handed Li Miao something.

Li Miao frowned slightly, took the thing and paused for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became dangerous.

[Obtained: Monster-Attracting Incense Block × 1]

[Monster-Attracting Incense Block]

[Type: Special Item]

[Effect: The smell it emits has a fatal attraction to monsters that have lost their minds. ]

[Description: What material is it made of? ]

Seeing the information about the thing that Leti handed to him, Li Miao narrowed his eyes immediately.

"Leti, you said this thing can be used to avoid monsters?"

"Yes." Leti nodded, and seeing Li Miao's appearance, he said anxiously: "Take it and go quickly. By the way, don't go into that well, there..."

Puff!

The frost lance burning with raging flames pierced Leti's chest, and the latter's words stopped abruptly.

The next moment, Leti's expression froze, and his figure began to turn into ashes and disappeared.

Li Miao snorted coldly and took back the lance.

This guy actually treated him as a fool.

It was obviously a thing to attract monsters, but he actually said it was used to avoid monsters. It was obvious that he wanted to harm him.

What Niu Niu said was true. Some NPCs need to be dealt with harshly with weapons.

Li Miao took back his lance.

Although he didn't know what kind of NPC this guy Leti belonged to, he regretted that after killing Leti, nothing dropped.

Is it because the game doesn't want players to kill NPCs?

Or, the game was going to let this NPC follow the plot from the beginning, so there was no design?

Li Miao felt that it was very likely. This game world was too open. Players could theoretically make unlimited choices when facing the same event, and the degree of freedom was very high.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little entangled.

This seems to be an NPC in the dynamic plot, right? Will killing him affect the next major events and plot development?

Thinking of this, Li Miao even regretted it a little. He should have kept him alive to see what he wanted to do.

Anyway, he can be resurrected infinitely after death, but this NPC may not be...

However, just as Li Miao was thinking.

A faint cry suddenly came from the well.

"Help... Help me..."

It sounds like a child's voice.

Li Miao was a little surprised, then put down his thoughts, looked around, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked forward carefully and came to the well.

This time, the sound became clearer. Someone was indeed shouting for help from the bottom of the well.

Are there other plot characters?

Li Miao just had a question in his mind.

Then, the ground suddenly shook violently, and at the same time, another monster-attracting incense block fell at his feet.

However, Li Miao did not notice this, he only saw the monster attacking from the front.

[Giant Arm Scavenger]

[Grade: Slag]

[Level: 21]

[Talent: Hard Giant Arm]

[Skills: Scavenging Arms, Giant Arm Sweeping, Giant Palm Smashing the Ground, Strong Shield]

[Description: A giant beast used by some powerful people to sweep away filth, its hard arms are its strongest protection. ]

Boom!

The arms of this giant arm scavenger rushed straight towards Li Miao like a bulldozer.

Li Miao subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, but suddenly found that there was a giant-armed scavenger behind him!

Attack from the front and back!

No.

Li Miao soon found that not only the front and back, but also his left and right were all giant-armed scavengers, all attacking Li Miao at the same time.

Besieged on all sides!

"Big brother up there, come down quickly!"

At this time, a childish and anxious reminder came from the well.

Do you want to go down?

In this situation, Li Miao's brain was working rapidly. After thinking for a moment, he did not listen to the voice in the well, but raised the Law Knight's shield, the flames of war were burning, and he was ready to try to block the next attack.

Of course, this definitely means that Li Miao's back and sides may be attacked.

But even so, he still did not choose to go down the well, because no one knew what was in the well, and he didn't know whether to believe the childish voice, and it was not appropriate to go down rashly.

However, it turned out that under such circumstances, he had no choice.

Dang——

Bang!

Two short voices rang out in succession.

Although Li Miao seized the best opportunity to raise his shield to block the oncoming giant-armed scavenger.

But the three giant-armed scavengers behind him interrupted him directly, waved their big hands and grabbed him before he could react, and threw him into the well.

"Fuck."

"Ah——"

The screams became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped with a bang.

After throwing Li Miao in, the giant-armed scavenger who threw him regained clarity in his eyes, and quickly competed with the other three giant-armed scavengers for the monster-attracting incense block on the ground.

In the shadow of the ruins, Leti's figure slowly walked out and breathed a sigh of relief.

"He didn't even want to go down. This kid is really hard to fool. It took me so much effort."

Leti glanced at the well and was amazed.

Then his face suddenly became dissatisfied.

"How do you talk? Don't care whether the means are rough or not, just say whether he went down the well!"

After a chat.

He suddenly raised the corners of his mouth again.

"Indeed, those easy-to-foolery firewood collectors can't be compared with these guys."

...Shame on me, I'm stuck again. My work and rest schedule has been a bit off lately. I'll adjust it and see if I can get back on track tomorrow.
