"Yuanshi Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun."

The voice drifted with the wind, accompanied by the rustling of branches and leaves, a bit ethereal, a bit eerie. In the dim forest, where sunlight struggled to penetrate, suddenly hearing someone calling his name was indeed startling.

Had he only walked for a short while before encountering danger? He couldn't respond. Zhang Yuanqing didn't expect to encounter the danger mentioned in the notice so quickly. He maintained his forward pace, not stopping, pretending not to hear the call behind him.

But out of curiosity, he manipulated the Blood Rose, looking back.

The scene behind him was somewhat frightening. Towering ancient trees swayed and creaked wildly in the wind, like menacing giants. The calls came from between the layers of branches and leaves, only the sound was heard, no one was seen. Zhang Yuanqing manipulated the Blood Rose to turn his head back and continue forward. "Rustle."

Stepping on the soil covered with rotten leaves, he walked like this for a few minutes, and the call behind him finally stopped.

"It seems that as long as you don't respond, there will be no danger. In the current situation, the precautions on the notice are credible. In that case, the real crisis is after reaching the center?"

Zhang Yuanqing walked and thought.

According to the setting of 3 points per person, the proportion of the dungeon in the killing instance is still very high. In that case, this dungeon is definitely not simple. It must be full of murderous intent.

But the main line is a survival dungeon, which has a consistent nature: it won't give too many hints, and The Way of the Extraordinary need to explore on their own. [Ding! "Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens" has died (Bewitching Demon), the leaderboard has been reset, please pay attention to check.][Ding! "White Elephant God" has died (Wood Demon), the leaderboard has been reset, please pay attention to check.][Ding! "Pile Driver" has died (Fire Master), the leaderboard has been reset, please pay attention to check.] "Someone died so quickly." Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly opened the leaderboard and found that the total number of people had become 180, and his ranking had not changed, still 73rd, which meant that the three dead walkers were ranked below him. It is worth mentioning that the first place changed from Zhao Chenghuang to Weiwoduzun, with 9 points. The second place, Zhao Chenghuang, had 6 points. The scores of the rest remained unchanged.

"Among the three dead walkers, one happened to be an evil profession. If they were all killed by Weiwoduzun, then that's exactly nine points. And if this guess is correct, then Zhao Chenghuang's points increase comes from the dungeon."

"Based on what I've observed so far, there is no source of points increase around me. Don't worry, the dungeon has just started, and the early rankings are meaningless." Zhang Yuanqing turned to thinking about the person "Weiwoduzun."

Killing both the lawful and the evil, this guy is obviously inclined to chaos. As he goes deeper, his chances of encountering other The Way of the Extraordinary greatly increase. And among them, the possibility of encountering official colleagues is one-fifth. Considering that the Dark Night Rose has spies in the official organization.

Zhang Yuanqing decided to hide himself first. He took out a rarely used item—the Disguise Ring.

Putting on the ring, he raised his palm to cover his face, gently kneading it. His handsome features presented phantom-like distortions, and then turned into a mediocre face. Wang Tai wanted to hide himself well. Being too handsome or too ugly wouldn't work. It must be said that an ordinary appearance like Wang Tai's, one that would disappear into the crowd, was too suitable.

Just as he finished his disguise, his ears twitched, and he heard the heavy sound of broken branches not far to the left.

He immediately turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man in black mountaineering clothes, carrying a backpack, holding a wooden staff, walking with his head down. "Not a The Way of the Extraordinary, a character from the dungeon." Zhang Yuanqing immediately remembered the precaution of not making eye contact with people and immediately shifted his focus. At the same time, he tentatively said: "Uncle, hello, I'm a tourist from outside the mountain, I'm lost."

"A tourist from outside the mountain?" The middle-aged man walked over quickly. "You're from outside the mountain? How do you get out of the mountain? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Yuanqing, with his eyes lowered at a forty-five-degree angle, couldn't see the other person's expression, but judging from the voice, this middle-aged man seemed very excited when he heard that he was from outside the mountain.

"I'm sorry, I'm lost too, and I'm also looking for a way out." Zhang Yuanqing responded. Hearing this, the light in the middle-aged man's eyes instantly went out, turning into disappointment and frustration. He said gloomily, "I've been trapped in the mountains for six days. All my companions are lost. I don't know how long I can last. If I can't find a way out, everyone in the city will be trapped in the mountains to death." Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing knew the plot was coming.

"Uncle, what do you mean by that? There's a city in the mountains?" he asked. The middle-aged man nodded, and then sighed: "It's not that there's a city in the mountains, but that there shouldn't be this mountain at all." Zhang Yuanqing maintained the lowered angle and said, "I'm a stranger, I don't understand very well, can you tell me about it?" The middle-aged man seemed tired from walking, leaned against a tree and sighed, "About two months ago, outside the city where I lived, suddenly there was a mountain. This mountain is like an iron bucket, surrounding the city, and we can't find a way out, and the communication equipment is useless." "Everyone in the city has been holding on for two months, the food and drinking water are gradually running out, and the order has begun to be chaotic, robbery, murder, bullying the weak." "Seeing that no rescuers were coming into the city, in order to survive, the survivors organized four teams, starting from four different directions, looking for a way out of the mountain, to seek help from the outside world." "The team I was in was responsible for exploring to the south. We all have rich experience in wild survival, and ordinary barren mountains and ridges can't trap us, but who would have thought, the first night we entered the mountains, the team had an accident." "The place where I am now is the south of the Lost City." Zhang Yuanqing confirmed the direction and asked, "What happened?" The middle-aged man showed a terrified expression, as if he had been reminded of a terrifying memory, and said, "That night, one of the team members disappeared."

"According to the person who was in the same tent with him, that night, the missing team member said that he heard someone calling him, and the voice seemed to be his mother who had been dead for many years."

"But the companion in the same tent didn't hear anything. After trekking for a whole day, everyone was very tired, and the companion didn't care and fell asleep. The next morning, we found that the person was missing." "His mother who had been dead for many years was calling him? This dungeon also has supernatural elements? It may also be a hallucination. The missing person must have responded to the call and disappeared." Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself and asked, "Did you look for him?" The middle-aged man nodded: "The next morning, the captain organized everyone to search for a long time, but they couldn't find him. We had a mission, and the food and drinking water were limited, so we had to give up on him and continue on the road."

*The First Clan*

"We identified the direction and headed south. When it was dusk, we found a place to camp. The captain arranged for everyone to collect branches to make a fire. I was picking up branches when I suddenly heard a scream. I rushed to check with everyone and found a team member sitting paralyzed under an ancient tree, shaking all over and pointing at the tree, almost scared out of his mind." When he said this, the middle-aged man's expression became more and more frightened, and his face turned pale, but Zhang Yuanqing couldn't see any of this. He said, "That tree had a human face, it was the face of the companion who disappeared last night."

"The companion's face is growing into the tree? This is more Yin than a ghost story. So, the real danger in the forest is the trees." Zhang Yuanqing suddenly thought of something and said, "Uncle, when I entered the mountain, I saw a notice board outside, did you guys put it up?" The middle-aged man was stunned, "What notice board?" Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank.

ps: This chapter has fewer words, and the next chapter will make up for it. I was writing and thinking about the plot today, and I went swimming in the afternoon (to treat cervical spondylosis), so the code was slow. Swimming is indeed a magic medicine for treating cervical spondylosis. After swimming for three consecutive days, I feel that my cervical spine is much more flexible.
