Chapter 310: Courtyard, dry well, farm tools, and black pot.
Not long after, Lin Chen and the other two met other human players who had entered the village before.
They said they had also seen the old lady at the entrance of the village, but most of them said they were outsiders, either visiting relatives or passing through the village.
Of course, there were two teams who had the same idea as Lin Chen. They simply pretended to be villagers who had gone out to work hard many years ago, and they managed to fish in troubled waters successfully.
"God Li, Team Duan, what should we do next?"
After meeting Lin Chen and Duan Jibo, many players handed over their sovereignty to them.
One is the person who turned the tide and became a god in Banjie Mountain.
One is a person who has been famous for a long time and has great strength and intelligence.
In this kind of copy where the danger level is unimaginable, it is natural that people will easily rely on you.
"Let's find a place to stay first, but remember to find an empty house, and don't be too far away from each other. Remember to check the house carefully to prevent ghosts from hiding in it. If anything feels wrong, throw it out in time. Another type of ghost in the copy can merge with certain objects." Duan Jiebo said.
Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
Next, everyone patrolled the village in groups and found a row of vacant courtyards. They moved in in groups of three.
The house where Lin Chen and the other two lived was in the middle of all the players and it was also the largest house.
The door is made of wood and is covered with mold due to its age.
When the door was opened, a yard full of withered yellow weeds came into view, indicating that this yard had not been taken care of for a long time and was not the residence of a native ghost.
A desolate and gloomy feeling came over me.
The courtyard is large, but it still retains the appearance of the old society.
In the yard, among the weeds, there is a dry well. On the earthen wall on the side, there are a hammer, an iron rake and a sickle.
The appearance of this kind of farm tool here seems to be a very common thing.
But what surprised Lin Chen and the other two was that these three farm tools actually exuded a trace of ghost power. These were actually three ghost king-level ghost objects.
"These three farm tools have undergone special changes because they have been in the dungeon for many years. Of course, it is also possible that they have experienced something special and thus transformed into ghosts." Duan Jiebo said, and said that there are such ghosts in other dungeons.
"These things are very strange and fierce! They are different from the ghost weapons rewarded in the dungeon. They may be very aggressive, but they are very practical tools. Our power is external. If they are seen using it, they will not understand it, and it will inevitably cause a sensation and trouble. However, using the props in the dungeon, no matter how unusual, will not surprise the native ghosts, because it is originally part of the dungeon."
"To put it bluntly, if you use the ghosts in the dungeon, even if you ride them to the sky, it is considered normal in the eyes of the original ghosts in the dungeon."
Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded thoughtfully.
In other words, normal four-star players will try not to use their own skills and ghost weapons after entering the dungeon. If they want to fight against native ghosts, they mainly look for props from the dungeon.
"This kind of ghost is spiritual. Of course, their intelligence is the same as that of a slightly smarter pet dog. They basically rely on instinct. We need to use ghost power to balance it. Only after the strength of the ghost power is recognized can we make it recognize its master for a short time. But these ghosts are very unusual. They are more ferocious than those I have seen in other copies before! It is better to be cautious." Duan Qi spoke, and she was also explaining.
She was graceful and dressed in a purple brocade robe, which made her look extremely luxurious and out of place in this courtyard.
"Let's go into the house and settle down first, and then find a way to investigate the truth of this deserted village. Xiao Qi, we also need to change our clothes. Since we want to blend into the village, wearing too luxurious clothes will make us look too high-profile." Duan Jiebo said, and then walked towards the main house.
Duan Qi had no objection, so he nodded slightly and followed.
However, what Duan Jibo and Duan Qi didn't notice was that when they passed by the dry well, a head with wet black hair emerged from the wellhead.
His black hair was disheveled and his face could not be seen clearly. Only through the gaps could one vaguely see his creepy eyes with only whites.
At this moment, he was staring at Lin Chen and the other two with an extremely cold look.
At the same time , the three farm tools emitting cold light by the wall turned around on their own, with their sharp blades facing the three people.
At this moment, the wet head at the mouth of the well suddenly froze for a moment, and then quickly shrank back into the well.
Just when the ghost's head completely disappeared from the well, Lin Chen suddenly turned around.
He glanced at the empty wellhead, which seemed to be normal, and a hint of imperceptible mockery flashed in his eyes.
As for the three farm tools whose positions had changed, he also noticed them, but he didn't pay too much attention to them. He was only very interested in the existence in the well.
After all, the thing in the well is most likely a ghost and can be sold for money.
"Interesting, even I didn't notice it in advance. Not only did it block the mental power, but even the resentment can only be felt when it actually appears... Is this the second type of native ghost in the dungeon? This four-star dungeon is getting more and more interesting. I'll come to find you tonight."
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi didn't notice anything and had no idea that they were being targeted by someone in the courtyard as soon as they entered.
Of course, that being also didn’t know that he was also being targeted by Lin Chen.
Walking into the house in front of you, a medium-sized reception room comes into view. Inside the room are old-fashioned tables and chairs, which are covered with a thick layer of dust.
To the left of the living room is a kitchen.
The kitchen is very large, including the dining room. The stove is the earliest earthen stove with a big black pot embedded on it.
Lin Chen touched the black pot and found a lot of old oil stains on it.
All three of them noticed this, which was quite strange.
After all, it is indeed a bit strange that such a big pot covered with grease would appear in a poor village that had suffered from an insect plague.
But the three of them didn't talk too much, just turned and walked out of the kitchen.
To the right of the living room is the bedroom of this house.
Arriving here, the three of them finally thought of something and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Because in this bedroom, there is only a row of earthen kangs that connect from beginning to end.
It’s not an environmental problem, but there is only this one habitable house and earthen kang in such a large yard.
It is indeed a bit inconvenient for two men and one woman here.
"It's better to have one room. It will be easier to take care of him." Duan Jibo thought for a moment and said, but his little eyes were still staring at Lin Chen as if he was guarding against a thief. "I'll sleep in the middle."
Lin Chen: “…”
Do you look down on me?
Duan Qi's face also turned slightly red, which was rare.
With the matter settled for the time being, the three of them picked up their tools and started cleaning the yard.
This is inevitable, and you cannot use skills such as ghost power too much to avoid being discovered by passing villagers.
Moreover, Duan Jiebo and Duan Qi were very cautious in their actions. They were checking all the facilities, fearing that there might be ghosts hiding in them.
The residences in the four-star dungeon only provide privacy protection for players, and mental power cannot penetrate them. However, unlike the three-star dungeon, there is no rule protection that means you will basically not die if you don't go out.
Lin Chen is responsible for the weeds in the yard.
He came to the yard, his expression seemingly calm, but his eyes never left the dry well. He wanted to see if the ghost in the well would sneak out again.
Lin Chen reached out and pulled up a weed in the yard, feeling it carefully.
"This grass is very heavy. It seems that the four-star dungeon intends to turn the players into ordinary people. If we pull it out like this, ordinary four-star players will probably be too tired to bear it."
Lin Chen walked to the wall and picked up the sickle among the three ghost farm tools.
Pulling weeds was not a difficult task for him, but he certainly would not be stupid enough to give up using these tools.
As soon as he picked up the sickle, a strange black light flashed on the sickle, and the extremely sharp blade came uncontrollably towards Lin Chen's neck.
What Duan Jibo and Duan Qi said happened. The sickle was indeed very ominous and strange. It backfired just by touching it.
Of course, since Lin Chen dared to take it, he naturally didn’t care about the ferocity of the sickle.
This kind of ghost king-level ghost is nothing to him.
He did not follow Duan Qi's instructions to use ghost power to counterbalance the thing, and he did not even try to dodge, but waited directly for the sickle to attack.
Soon, there was a "clang" sound, and the sickle directly hit Lin Chen's neck.
The figure who had been hiding at the bottom of the well waited for a long time before climbing up again and just happened to see this scene.
The blade of the sickle was actually sticking to Lin Chen's neck, not moving at all. The extremely sharp blade couldn't even cut Lin Chen's skin!
This scene immediately frightened this dark being with an extremely evil heart, and his mouth under the wet hair opened slightly.
Soon, an even more horrifying scene appeared. Lin Chen, who had put his neck against the sickle, suddenly turned his head and stared at him with a very playful look!
At this moment, this ghost who had been lurking in this courtyard and had killed countless players suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, as if he was being stared at by a being more terrifying than himself.
With a "whoosh", he quickly shrank back into the well.
At this time, the sounds of running and sickles were heard in the house, which also alarmed Duan Jiebo and Duan Qi. They hurried out and were all shocked when they saw the situation!
"Boy Chen, are you okay?" Duan Jibo asked.
Lin Chen withdrew his gaze from the wellhead and took the sickle from his neck. There was not even a mark left on his neck.
"It's nothing. This ghost couldn't chop me."
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi widened their eyes at the same time. They knew that Lin Chenqiang, especially the degree of his physical enhancement, was rare among human players.
But they were still extremely shocked that he could withstand a blow from the Ghost King-level sickle with his neck, a weak part of his body, and still remain unscathed!
"Hurry up and inject the ghost power into it, otherwise it will attack you again." Duan Jibo said after reacting.
"No need." Lin Chen shook his head calmly, then he grasped the blade of the sickle with both hands and bent it hard. The blade of the sickle immediately bent.
A faint wail sounded from the sickle.
Then, Lin Chen continued to exert force, and in no time he rubbed the sickle into an iron ball, as if it were completely scrapped.
Seeing this scene, Duan Jibo and Duan Qiquan were dumbfounded.
The sickle had lost all its power and looked like an ordinary piece of scrap metal, so Lin Chen threw it to the ground.
"If they don't obey, just destroy them. They are worthless."
Lin Chen said, and then looked at the remaining two farm tools:
"To mow the grass."
At this moment, the two farm tools were trembling and making a slight metallic humming sound.
"Go mow the grass." Lin Chen spoke again, his voice already carrying a hint of impatience, as if the two farm tools would follow the same fate as the sickle in the next second.
The two most evil creatures finally moved. They didn't have much intelligence, but they had instincts. After witnessing the tragic death of "Sickle", they didn't dare to resist Lin Chen at all.
A hammer and an iron rake flew up by themselves, starting from the corner of the wall, and started plowing the yard directly.
At this moment, a dark figure in the well seemed to know everything and began to tremble.
But what embarrassed him was that he came out too early and could not merge into the dry well again in a short time.
