Chapter 117·Dream into Death (14)
[You: (panicked) Okay, okay, I must remember to keep the life-saving treasure you gave me. ]
Jinchen spoke solemnly and seriously, and his face was also solemn and different from before.
You were so frightened by the words "out of your wits" that you almost lost your soul on the spot. After hearing this, you nodded your head hastily. Jinchen saw that you seemed to have really remembered his instructions, and then he slowly His expression slowly softened and he breathed a sigh of relief.
[Jinchen: (with a gentle expression) Just remember it. ]
[Jinchen: (thinking for a while, then adding) However, although the strange beasts and demon spirits in the mountains are indeed somewhat dangerous, you don’t need to be too nervous now. ]
[Jinchen: No matter what, these strange beasts and demon souls are still under the control of the mountain master. Therefore, even if you accidentally anger these animals in the future, Even if you have a bad temper, you don't need to get into trouble right away. ]
[Jinchen: (eyes down) - The master of the fairy mountain does not allow strange beasts to hurt people without reason. ]
[Jinchen: If you really encounter that situation, you can find a safer place as soon as possible and hide carefully - in this way, wait for Xiaosheng or the mountain master to arrive at the scene, and what you will face The crisis will naturally be resolved. ]
[Jinchen: (raises a finger) To put it simply, one word, "drag"! ]
[Jinchen: Prolong time, prolong distance... As long as you can delay us until we come to rescue you, you will definitely not be injured. ]
[Jinchen: Well, that’s all Xiaosheng has to say to you—if you don’t have any other questions, we should continue on our way. ]
After Jinchen finished speaking, he quietly waited for your reply. Seeing this, you absentmindedly replied, "No problem," and followed him back onto the mountain road.
It’s just that this time your steps are obviously not as relaxed as when you first came... The words "fearless" and "find a way to drag" are like flies that can’t be driven away, buzzing around In your mind, you suddenly feel a lot of pressure on you.
(Although you got the answer you wanted to know, the pressure brought by the truth is too great. Your tense spirit is now even more tense, and the pressure value has almost doubled. ——The mental pressure value is +30, and continue to return to the main plot)

Main plot:
The winding mountain road seems to have no end.
You can’t remember how long you have been walking on this road. You only remember that the fog in the mountains seemed to have dispersed and gathered again three times.
Jinchen has been leading the way for you at a speed slightly faster than yours from beginning to end. You stepped on his shadow and walked forward about a hundred feet on the mountain road, and finally you were in front of you. I vaguely saw an arched moon gate.
This is...the dividing line of the back mountain?
But... why is this just a moon gate - is the owner of the fairy mountain too lazy to make a gate for the back mountain?
Having seen the moon gate, you thought in confusion. While you were wandering, Jinchen, who was half a step ahead of you, suddenly spoke.
[Jinchen: (raises his hand and points to the moon gate) ____, have you seen the moon gate in front of you? After passing through the moon gate, we have entered the back mountain boundary of Lanke Mountain. ]
[You: (nod) Oh, I saw it, I saw it just now, but is there only the Moon Gate in our back mountain? I don’t think I’ve seen such a design before! ]
You had the courage to ask directly. When Jinchen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of apology on his face.
[Jinchen: (slightly sorry) No, this is just a small side door. ]
[Jinchen: I'm sorry, ____, you are different from those strange beasts and monsters living in the back mountain... The foot is a living soul, and Lanke Secret Realm is the owner of the mountain. For the sake of trapped obsession, various formations were set up everywhere. ]
[Jinchen: If I take you through the main entrance, the formations on the main entrance may have some bad effects on your soul... Xiaosheng can only take you through this entrance without formations. , there is only a side door guarded by two strange beasts, please forgive me. ]
Jinchen explained patiently, when you heard that "it may have some bad effects on the soul", you suddenly shuddered on the spot.
[You: Hey~ If you say so, we’d better just take this side door Ansheng - the side door is good, this side door is really good! ]
[Jinchen: (smile) It would be best if you don’t blame me for being rude. ]
[Jinchen: Now, ____, Rong Xiaosheng will briefly explain to you what we need to pay attention to later. ]
[Jinchen: Due to the various agreements made between Xiaosheng and the mountain master, after passing the Moon Gate, it will be inconvenient for Xiaosheng to accompany you on your way——]
[You: (frowning) Mr. Jinchen, don’t you plan to take me with you later? ]
[You: (Hesitating) I am unfamiliar with the place here...]
[Jinchen: (Soothing) Don’t be impatient. What Xiaosheng wants to tell you next is exactly this. . ]
[Jinchen: Although Xiaosheng cannot accompany you on the road ahead, Xiaosheng said hello to the mountain master when he came here, and there will be strange beasts that are usually kind to humans later. , I will lead the way for you on behalf of Xiaosheng, so you don’t have to worry, just follow the strange beast later. ]
[Jinchen: Of course, in order to make you feel more at ease... I have also prepared an additional map for you of the back mountain of Lanke Mountain. ]
The young man took out a blueprint from his sleeve as he spoke.
[Jinchen: (handing over the map) If you don’t want to follow the strange beast, or are worried about getting lost, you can continue moving in the direction pointed out here... In addition, there is a one-time line drawn on this map. The communication talisman is in the blank space in the upper left corner of the map - if you encounter trouble that you can't solve yourself, you can also tear up the map and send a message to Xiaosheng. ]
[Jinchen: Xiaosheng will come immediately after receiving the news. ]
[You: (thoughtfully) like this...]
You took the drawing and looked at it, and sure enough, you touched a little bit of a dent in the blank space in the upper left corner. The pattern, that thing feels like the lines on the talisman paper you saw online before, but it seems to be different from those...
You don’t know what is specifically written here, so you just silently read it carefully. Shenchi carefully put it into his pocket, feeling a little more at ease unconsciously.
——With this thing, your safety can at least be protected.
[You: (slightly hesitant) Oh, by the way, Mr. Jinchen. ]
[You: You just said that the person who will take over from you and lead the way is a strange beast that is usually quite kind to humans. ]
[You: Then it...can it be trusted? That is, can you believe everything it says? ]
You raised your eyes expectantly, and Jinchen looked regretful after hearing this. [Jinchen: (shaking his head) It's a pity, but it's not. ]
[Jinchen: Xiaosheng can understand his thoughts and feelings very well, but unfortunately, alien beasts are alien beasts. Even though they may be kinder to humans compared with other alien beasts, this does not change their tendency to talk nonsense. nature. ]
[Jinchen: You still have to be careful to distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words - this is unavoidable no matter what. ]
[Jinchen: Okay, the Moon Gate is in front, Rong Xiaosheng will show you your face first——]
(At the end of this chapter, you will get the map of the back mountain of Lanke Mountain × 1 , continue to jump down to [Chapter 2: Tiger and Wolf Trap Heroic Soul])
