Chapter 497: The fog is thick and I want to explore, but the crisis suddenly comes and I feel terrif
Wu Hen had a devilish smile on his face, like a cat stealing fish.
He stared at Yunari's face, which was slightly red due to nervousness, and thought to himself: "Tsk tsk, this girl is quite interesting."
He felt the soft, boneless touch in his hand, and his heart was moved, which further confirmed his guess.
Beneath this seemingly peaceful pure land, there is definitely a shocking secret hidden!
"Calm down, calm down." Wu Hen said silently in his heart.
He is not the superficial person who is seduced by beauty. His goal is to become the strongest!
Beauty is just a spice on the road ahead. Besides, what he likes most is conquest!
He coughed lightly, suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously, "I suddenly feel that the air here is a bit stuffy. Why don't you go out for some fresh air and see the scenery?"
Lin Qiye was standing aside, watching Wu Hen's exaggerated acting and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He finally realized that this guy was an absolute drama queen!
However, since Wu Hen also felt that there was something wrong here, they might as well go out and take a look together.
When Yunari heard this, a hint of panic flashed across her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
She said with a hint of doubt: "You want to go out? But it's very dangerous outside, and you don't have any money..."
"Dangerous?" Wu Hen raised his eyebrows. What he liked most was challenging dangers, especially those unknown and exciting dangers.
He suddenly felt a surge of ambition, a fire of "making trouble" burning in his heart. "Isn't this even more interesting? Life is meant to be full of challenges!"
As soon as Wu Hen finished speaking, a familiar system prompt sounded in his mind:
[Ding! Detecting the host's strong desire to commit suicide, issuing a random mission: 'Street Fighter'.]
[Mission objective: Get today's dinner on the street without a penny.]
[Mission Reward: One Random Summoning Card. Failure Penalty: Host's Charm Points permanently reduced by -10!]
"Damn it! Does this system want me to be a beggar?"
Wu Hen complained in his heart, but an excited smile appeared on his face, "Street Fighter? It sounds interesting!"
He was rubbing his hands together, eager to try, and had long forgotten the urgency in his heart to find out the secret. At this moment, the only thing in his eyes was "making trouble."
When Lin Qiye saw him like this, he knew what this guy was up to again.
He sighed helplessly, knowing that he was destined to "seek death" with him.
Just when Wu Hen was about to show off his skills and start his journey as a street fighter, Yunari added,
"Besides, you have no place to live. Are you going to sleep on the street?"
Wu Hen's smile froze on his face in an instant, like a deflated ball, and it immediately wilted.
Only then did he remember that he was really penniless. In this strange city, let alone finding a place to stay, it was even difficult to buy a steamed bun!
His originally high fighting spirit was instantly extinguished, and he felt as if fate had strangled him by the throat.
He held his head in his hands and cried out from the depths of his soul: "Ah! Damn everything! Why am I so poor!!!"
Just when the two were at a loss, Wu Hen suddenly felt a vibration under his feet.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a deep blue light flickering in the sky. The light was like a huge eye, staring at them coldly.
"What...what is this?" Lin Qiye felt a strong sense of unease in his heart. He could feel an extremely dangerous aura approaching.
Wu Hen looked at the strange blue light, a playful smile on his face, and muttered to himself, "The show is about to begin..."
Wu Hen looked at Yunari who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and laughed in his heart. This little girl is quite shameless.
He rubbed his hands and put on an attitude of "everything is under control".
"Don't worry, there are always more solutions than problems! Accommodation and food are no big deal to me!"
He said this with absolute certainty, as if he were really some kind of business tycoon who could make a lot of money flow into his pocket with just one sentence.
Lin Qiye couldn't help but roll his eyes again, thinking that this guy's bragging skills were really getting better and better.
Yunari was infected by Wu Hen's confident look, and a gentle smile appeared on her originally tense face.
She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back. A light blush appeared on her fair cheeks, which was very beautiful.
The atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment, and there seemed to be a hint of ambiguity in the air.
Lin Qiye felt something was wrong. Why did he feel like a light bulb?
He cleared his throat, trying to break the awkward atmosphere, but Wu Hen suddenly clapped his hands excitedly, interrupting him.
"I figured it out! These days, as long as you have good looks, who cares about not having money?"
Wu Hen showed a smile that he thought was so charming that it would kill people. "Let's go! I'll take you to make a fortune!"
Lin Qiye was completely confused and had no idea what Wu Hen was planning.
Yunari asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Wu Hen smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth.
"Of course I'd be a gigolo! With my looks, shouldn't I be able to easily make a killing?"
"Cowherd?" Lin Qiye and Yunari both expressed doubts at the same time. They had never heard of this word before.
"Cowherd? What is this? Is it food?" Yunari blinked curiously, looking cute with a hint of ignorance.
Wu Hen almost vomited blood. This girl didn’t even know what a cowherd was?
Could it be that the world I traveled to doesn't even have the profession of a cowherd?
He quickly explained: "Ahem, being a cowherd is... a profession that is very popular among women."
"With good looks and charm, they are willing to pay."
As he explained, he deliberately cast a coquettish glance, which made Lin Qiye feel a chill.
"Can you make money this way?" Yunari asked curiously.
Lin Qiye's face was filled with black lines. He really couldn't imagine the scene of Wu Hen being a gigolo. The scene was too beautiful and he didn't dare to look at it.
Just as the three of them were discussing the topic of "Cowherd", Wu Hen suddenly felt a strange aura approaching rapidly.
He suddenly looked up and saw that the originally clear sky had been covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.
A huge blue beam of light, like the wrath of God, suddenly fell from the sky and slammed heavily on the coastline not far from them.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the whole earth shook violently, as if the end of the world was coming.
Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted, and he felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
On Wu Hen's face, an excited smile appeared.
He licked his lips and whispered, "Interesting... Looks like this journey won't be lonely."
Yunari's originally gentle face turned pale in an instant. She pointed at the sea in the distance in fear and said in a trembling voice: "What...what is that?"
Lin Qiye tightly gripped the knife in his hand, staring at the sea with a serious look.
He could feel an extremely powerful force slowly reviving, as if some ancient existence was about to break the seal and reappear in the world.
Wu Hen narrowed his eyes, a hint of inexplicable excitement flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Yunari, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, saying: "It seems that someone is going to give us a 'surprise'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunari's body trembled slightly.
She seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly took out a piece of paper from her pocket and quickly crossed out a few words on it.
Yunari quickly crossed out a few words on the paper, she took a deep breath,
He handed the note to Wu Hen and said firmly, "Take this and leave here, the farther the better!"
Wu Hen took the note, looked at the contents with a confused look on his face, and then looked at Yunari's serious expression.
He scratched his head in confusion: "What does it mean? Is this... a letter of divorce?" His mind was full of ideas, and he instantly imagined a bloody drama of "an unfaithful man abandoning a lovesick woman".
Lin Qiye snatched the note, glanced at the contents, and his expression suddenly changed.
He grabbed Wu Hen's shoulders and said hurriedly, "Stop talking nonsense and leave! It's dangerous here!"
Wu Hen was startled by Lin Qiye's sudden action.
He asked in confusion, "What's going on? What's written on it? A treasure map? Or a martial arts manual?"
Lin Qiye rolled his eyes at him in annoyance, "Can you please be serious? This is the evacuation guide! It tells us the route and method to leave here!"
Wu Hen finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He put away his playful expression and asked seriously, "What on earth happened?"
Yunari took a deep breath, suppressing her fear, and explained, "That blue light just now was the energy fluctuations of the Forbidden Ruins."
"The Ruins are where the ancient evil god is sealed. Once the seal is broken, the evil god will descend upon the human world and bring devastating disaster!"
Wu Hen took a deep breath. Why does this plot feel a bit like Cthulhu mythology?
He quickly stuffed the note into his pocket and said firmly, "I understand. We will leave here as soon as possible. Thank you for your reminder!"
He turned around and bowed deeply to Yunari. Although he was usually careless, he was still clear-headed when it came to major issues.
Lin Qiye also nodded to Yunari to express his gratitude.
He knew that Yunari had taken a huge risk to tell them this secret, and he would always remember this favor.
The two of them no longer hesitated and turned to run in the direction indicated on the note.
They know that time is of the essence and every second counts.
"Wait!" Yunari suddenly called out to them.
Wu Hen and Lin Qiye stopped and looked back at her in confusion.
Yunari bit her lip, as if she was hesitating about something.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she took out a delicate little bottle from her pocket and handed it to Wu Hen, "Here... take it."
Wu Hen took the bottle, which was cold to the touch. The bottle was carved with exquisite patterns and was filled with colorful paper cranes.
He asked curiously, "What is this?"
Yunari did not answer, but just looked at Wu Hen deeply.
Just then, a cold wind blew by, and Wu Hen felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously looked back, but found nothing.
"Hurry up!" Lin Qiye grabbed Wu Hen's arm and pulled him to continue running forward, with an unquestionable command in his tone.
Wu Hen wanted to ask something else, but Lin Qiye pushed him out fiercely, "Don't look back! Run!"
Lin Qiye was extremely fast, pulling Wu Hen and rushing out of the courtyard like an arrow.
There was the whistling sound of the wind in his ears and the scenery was rapidly receding under his feet. Wu Hen felt like he was riding a high-speed roller coaster with his adrenaline soaring.
He held Lin Qiye's arm tightly, but his heart was calm, and he was even a little excited.
"Tsk tsk, this girl is quite mysterious." Wu Hen thought to himself, his eyes occasionally sweeping over the paper crane bottle in his hand that was emitting a faint light.
He could feel that this thing was definitely not an ordinary decoration, and it contained some kind of strange power.
[Ding! Detected the host has obtained the 'Mysterious Thousand Crane Bottle', issuing a limited-time quest: 'The Secret of the Thousand Cranes'. Quest Objective: Uncover the secret of the Thousand Crane Bottle within 1 hour. Quest Reward: One 'Special Summon Card'. Failure Penalty: Permanently -20 IQ reduction for the host!]
"Damn it! Does this system want to turn me into an idiot?"
Wu Hen complained in his heart, but an eager smile appeared on his face. "Uncover the secret? I'm the best at that!"
He rubbed his hands together, as if he was a top student about to take an exam, full of confidence.
Just as Wu Hen and Lin Qiye were about to rush out of the town, they suddenly felt a violent vibration behind them.
They looked back and saw that the originally calm sea surface had now become like boiling water, rolling and roaring.
A huge black vortex slowly formed on the sea surface, as if a giant beast from the abyss opened its bloody mouth, wanting to devour everything.
From the whirlpool came bursts of low roars, like the whispers of demons from hell, which made people shudder.
"Oh my god! What's going on? The style of painting is wrong!" Wu Hen exclaimed. He felt that his three views had been refreshed.
This is not just an ordinary seal being broken, this is simply the rhythm of doomsday!
Lin Qiye's face turned ashen. He stared at the sea, and the knife in his hand had turned white.
He knew that what was coming would be an unprecedented fierce battle.
He ignored Wu Hen's exclamation and said in a deep voice, "Let's go! We can't stay here for long!"
He pulled Wu Hen and ran towards the distance, and his speed increased again.
The two ran out of the town in one breath. They stopped and looked back at the sea shrouded by a black whirlpool, their hearts filled with solemnity.
"This... what on earth is this thing?" Wu Hen swallowed. He could feel a strong sense of oppression that made him breathless.
He felt like he was back in his childhood, standing in front of his parents, and that feeling of powerlessness came over him again.
Lin Qiye did not answer, he just stared at the sea. He could feel that the powerful aura was getting closer and closer, as if it was going to devour them completely.
At this moment, they suddenly heard an old voice behind them: "Children, take it and go quickly..."
Wu Hen and Lin Qiye turned around suddenly and saw Grandma He who was supposed to be in the courtyard.
She was standing behind them tremblingly, holding an exquisite paper crane bottle in her hand, which was the one that Yunari gave to Wu Hen.
Grandma He slowly walked up to Wu Hen and handed him the paper crane bottle in her hand, her eyes full of kindness and reluctance.
"Take this, maybe it can help you..."
Wu Hen was stunned. He looked at Grandma He, then at the bottle of paper cranes in his hand, his heart full of doubts.
what is happening?
Who is this old lady?
Could it be that she is also a hidden boss?
Just when he was stunned, Grandma He suddenly raised her head and looked past them.
Looking at the dark sea in the distance, her eyes were filled with worry and fear, and she murmured to herself, "Here it comes..."
