Chapter 229 The Scepter of the Earth--------Hugodi's Dark Shadow (Part 2)
.The dark shadow of the second chapter (Part 2)
When everyone stepped into the tomb guarding the hut, they felt that the decaying wooden boards under Chen Kai's feet made a sour crunch. In the dark environment, this sound was so frightening and scary. Even the legendary low-cost 5D ghost movies did not make Chen Kai and the others feel like their hair was standing up.
A trace of cold air that Chen Kai felt rushed straight from his feet lowered his heart and his forehead. The hairs all over his body and goose bumps stood up twice in an instant. At the same time, a rotten and gloomy aura slowly entered his nose with Chen Kai's exhalation, causing his heart and lungs to stagnate in an instant. However, soon these cold feelings were dispelled by the fighting spirit in Chen Kai's body, leaving only the memory that existed in his mind.
When Chen Kai slowly walked into the tomb guarding hut, light slowly began to radiate around him. Xu Fei and the others behind him lit the candle in their hands. The dim candlelight seemed even more terrifying in this gloomy environment, but the candlelight also brought Chen Kai and the others a little warmth.
After a brief search, Chen Kai and his friends quickly found the entrance to the cellars that exist in every house in the game world. These cellars, which were used as vegetable cellars or wine cellars, have now become the hiding place for Chen Kai and his friends to bixun every time, because they are not sure if anyone will investigate these huts. As long as they enter the cellar, Chen Kai and his friends can open the tent and hide in it, and put some decayed wood and mud outside the tent to cover it.
But sometimes some things are not as smooth as Chen Kai imagined, such as the cellar of the tomb guarding cottage. In Chen Kai's opinion, the entrance of a wooden cellar should be very easy to open, but in fact, after a few minutes, Chen Kai and the four close combat personnel sat on the ground in depressed manner. The entrance of the wooden cellar made of rotten wood was actually as heavy as a thousand pounds. No matter how Chen Kai and the others moved, they could not open the two wooden doors at all.
Chen Kai, who felt very strange, immediately asked Fei Yun to light a torch to check. After a closer look, he almost screamed out without any depression. It turned out that the wooden door at the entrance of the cellar was actually stuck tightly by layers of thick gel. The gel blocked all gaps in the entire cellar, sealing the cellar like a secret room. At the same time, the gel had huge adhesion power, which made Chen Kai and the four soldiers unable to move the wooden door away.
Just when Fei Yun wanted to use the flame on the torch to roast the gel, Chen Kai reached out to stop him. If it were in the past, Chen Kai would definitely let Fei Yun do that, because in this desolate place like a haunted house, there was such a tight sealed cellar, which was a strange thing in itself. And such a thing represents a task in the game, and it may even be a hidden task copy.
But Chen Kai and the others were already in a state of escape. Now the first thing they had to do was to find a place to settle down and quickly escape from Hugodi instead of searching for the mission or opening the mission copy. Even if those mission copy had rich experience and spoils that were difficult to reach in the wild, there were also huge risks. If you were not lucky, Chen Kai and the others might not be caught by the soldiers, but instead hung them in the dungeon.
Therefore, Chen Kai did not ask Fei Yun to open the cellar, but instead settled down the second step along the decaying stairs to reach the second floor of the cottage. There were only two rooms on the second floor of the cottage, one was a storage room with many miscellaneous items, and the other was a place where the owner or gravekeeper of the original cottage rested. However, the door of the cottage was opened, and the items inside included hoes were scattered on the ground, while the door of the main room was closed, but a gap was slightly opened. A breeze blew through and made a creaking sound, and then slowly opened in front of Chen Kai's eyes, revealing everything in the room.
A gray-white bone was lying quietly on the decaying wooden bed. The whole room emitted a faint smell of rotten corpses, but the whole smell was much lighter than the smell in the chaotic graves outside. It was probably because the corpse had been dead for too long.
After putting on a gas mask, Chen Kai slowly walked into the room and carefully examined the bones on the bed with the candlelight in his hand. The bones were lying quietly on the bed, with their hands pressed against their chests, and the jaws were quietly spreading to reveal their broken and black teeth. There was no sign of trauma or poisoning in the whole bone. No matter from any angle, it looked like they died naturally. However, whether the other party died naturally or killed him, it had nothing to do with Chen Kai. The only thing Chen Kai wanted to do was to use a corner of the other party's room and put down a tent. After all, according to time, it was about to be dawn. Once it was dawn, someone would pass by the entire cemetery, and Chen Kai and the others might be discovered.
After nailing the worn windows with a few decayed wooden boards, everyone slowly got into the tent and prepared to take a break. However, when they got into the tent, Fei Yun found a diary falling in dust from the bones, and the broken diary was kept in a small box. Although the box outside the diary had a trace of decay due to time, the general content was still quite complete.
But what made Chen Kai strange was that when he entered the tent to rest, when he was looking for the situation around the cemetery on the Internet, he found that there was no information about the cottage in the entire Hugodi page. At the same time, when he was looking for players to help find information about the cottage on the Internet, the news came made him feel like he was sweating.
"You are stupid, you are obviously a cemetery, where is the hut from?" This is a type of player who doesn't believe it.
"It turns out that the author is a hell" is a player who has posted pictures around the cemetery.
"There is a cabin? When did it appear? Is there a mission?" This is a player who wants to do missions and wants to be crazy.
But any of them proves that Chen Kai and the others are a bit strange, or a strange place at this time. Because most players have never seen this hut, and more importantly, there is no shadow of this hut in the pictures they sent through the Internet.
Even though the pictures were taken a little early, Chen Kai and the others who saw these pictures were covered in cold sweat. Because they found that the place they were in might be really a haunted house, and it was the weirdest, that is, the kind that would disappear during the day. Therefore, after knowing this information, Chen Kai's first thing was to open the tent and look outside, and then he nodded with a strange face and retreated, and pulled the tents up one after another.
After pulling the tent, Chen Kai felt uneasy and opened the ban on the door of the magic tent and locked the entire tent firmly from the inside out. Xu Fei and the others, who were standing in the tent, felt that Chen Kai's movements were very strange, but after contacting the information found on the Internet, everyone understood that Chen Kai must have seen something strange. For a moment, the cold sweat on everyone's foreheads still slowly emerged, and the traces of crystal beads of sweat slowly rolled down from their foreheads.
"Who is it outside the boss?" Fei Yun asked Chen Kai in a trembling voice. In his opinion, Chen Kai must have seen someone or something, so he had such an expression.
"Nothing" Chen Kai exhaled slowly, trying to calm his breath, but his trembling voice lost a lot of credibility to his words.
Xu Fei and the others, who didn't believe Chen Kai's words, walked quickly to Chen Kai's room and used the magic crystal to drive the mirror that could observe the outside. The first thing everyone saw in the mirror was a gray fog. The fog was very similar to the heavy fog that often rose in the morning, but it was even thicker, covering the mirror like a wall made of clouds.
However, although these fogs blocked Xu Fei and the others' observation field, they dissipated very quickly. Soon Xu Fei and the others saw the situation outside the tent. However, everyone didn't believe what they saw in front of them. After all, the difference between that and what they saw in the early morning was too big.
The decaying walls now turned into snow-white and clean brick walls, and a painting of sunflowers was hanging on the wall that originally had a big hole. At the same time, the window that Chen Kai and the others nailed with the rotten wooden boards also turned into a window with white painted wooden frames and glass. The most important thing was that the bed where there was originally a bone lying, an old man in pajamas was slowly getting up from the bed.
If there is something more terrifying in this world than a white bone walking, then it must be a person outside, but it is transparent to see the bones in the skeleton walking in front of you. Through the spell image mirror, Xu Fei and the others can clearly see all the expressions on the old man's face, and see the bones slowly shaking under the transparent cheeks.
"Lingling" As the old ghost slowly got up from the bed, he slowly walked to the front of Chen Kai and his tent and pulled the bell on the tent. The crisp ringtone sounded extremely strange to Chen Kai and his tent, or a hint of gloomy feeling. Especially the palms holding the bell would turn into transparent when pulled, revealing the snow-white hand bones inside.
"Do you want to go out?" Looking at the ghost old man outside who constantly showed bone shape, Fei Yun's gums kept knocking. To be honest, there were too many dead creatures and dangers he saw, but none of them were so weird or scary, especially the body of the ghost old man. In order to check the items, Fei Yun touched them from top to bottom. He even knew that the other party's bone had broken.
"Do you think we should go out?" Chen Kai kicked the ball back with a cold face. Chen Kai was also confused about this strange situation. Although anything could happen in a game, such a strange and unpredictable thing, even if Chen Kai and his friends had strong enough acceptance, they would feel a little confused and fearful of the unknown situation in a short period of time.
"I think we should go out! Look at the old man, he doesn't look like an evil creature, at least there are not many negative elements in his eyes." Xu Fei carefully used the observation spell on the mirror to check the old ghost man. Although the other person had a snow-white skeleton in his body, he did not have the rich foul aura on the dead creature's body, which is the negative elements that most mages called.
"Are you sure?" Everyone's eyes were cast on Xu Fei's face. There was a ghost outside, that is, a dead creature. Most dead creatures had the first reaction to seeing creatures was to attack, which was almost unquestionable. However, Xu Fei asked Chen Kai and the others to go outside to see a dead creature. This was almost no different from putting a flesh bone on the edge of a dog's mouth.
"I think we should figure out where we are now and whether there is any danger here." Xu Fei turned the image on the mirror to the window, where the originally large cemetery turned into a green meadow, and he could not see the gloomy and terrifying appearance.
The whole window looks like a quiet and harmonious rural scene, rather than the gloomy and terrifying mass grave. In Xu Fei's opinion, if everything outside is an illusion, it proves that they are still in the cemetery, that is, they are trapped in an illusion, which is a very dangerous thing. Because the mage who can arrange this kind of illusion, in Chen Kai and Xu Fei's understanding, it is probably only the ** master who has such ability.
And if the outside is not illusion, it means that they have left Hugodi, which is a happy event worth celebrating for them. Because it means that they don’t have to worry about being chased by Hugodi’s soldiers, nor are they worried about being chased by the demon wizard.
Listening to Xu Fei's words, everyone couldn't help nodding, but when he heard the bells ringing outside, Chen Kai and the others began to hesitate again. After all, the strength of the ghost old man was unknown. If the other party just hid the aura of death on his body waiting for Chen Kai and the others to go out, then once Chen Kai and the others walked outside stupidly, wouldn't they become meat buns that beat dogs, and they would go but never return.
However, in the end, Chen Kai opened the entrance of the tent and walked to the old ghost with a hint of fear. Looking at the old ghost wearing a white pajamas, who actually only had a skeleton inside, Chen Kai felt that his heart was beating uncontrollably.
"Travelers from afar, why do you break into my home without permission and set up a tent next to my bed?" A voice echoing in the soul came from the mouth of the old man ghost and then reached Chen Kai and the others' minds.
Listening to the old man Ghost, Chen Kai was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little relieved, because he felt that as long as the other party could communicate, he was always rational. Therefore, Chen Kai told him about the reason why they entered the old man's home and set up a tent, including their protection of Havadis and his son.
After listening to Chen Kai's narration, the old ghost smiled slightly, then turned and walked downstairs. Although it seemed from outside that he was wearing a pair of slippers, in fact, he was walking with his bone-like soles. The wooden floor made a creaking moan, but it was different from the sound Chen Kai and the others heard last night.
"Go down to have some breakfast~" The sound of the ghost old man's soul penetrated slowly came from downstairs, and then a sound of a wooden door being opened, as if somewhere had been opened.
"Will we go down?" Su Xinghe, who was standing behind Chen Kai, asked softly, but he stuck his head out and kept looking out, trying to find the floor he removed the wooden board to nail it to the window last night. But after searching around, he found that everything was so neat, and even the messy storage room at that time was neatly placed.
"Go down, don't flip through things, and be careful, everyone." Chen Kaila was about to touch Fei Yun in the storage room and walked under the stairs first.
Below the stairs, the first floor of the cottage now no longer had the gloomy and terrifying feeling of dawn. The tables and chairs that were originally scattered and even broken were only wooden scum, and were neatly placed on the ground. The floor covered with broken wooden boards and pits is now as smooth as new and exudes a faint smell of sandalwood. At the same time, the fireplace, which had been half-demolished, is also lit up a bonfire at this moment. Above the fireplace are some glass wine utensils, silver-white dining trays, and a bouquet of roses inserted in a vase.
The old ghost was moving some flour, some sausages from the cellar that was previously sealed with gel, and a basket of red apples that looked very fresh. Seeing the old ghost shaking his skeleton-like body moving dozens of kilograms of flour, Chen Kai was very worried about whether his bones would suddenly break.
Therefore, Chen Kai quickly stepped forward to help get the old man who carried it out for free. What surprised him was that the flour bag in his hand was full of weight and also had a strong fragrance of fresh wheat. Especially when the flour was baked into bread, the taste was even more intense, which was sweeter than all the breads Chen Kai had eaten in the past.
But Chen Kai still had a worry, that is, whether he would not eat food, but something else. Could it be that the place he was in at this moment was a huge illusion, and everything was constructed with illusion. After all, there are indeed such terrifying illusions in some magic books, although those records were recorded in books by the mages as strange records and were not completely confirmed.
