Chapter 992: Inexplicable Emotions

"Roar!"

The little dragon suddenly flapped its wings, accompanied by a hurried call.

Not loud.

It was just stuck enough to break Chen Ming's thinking and wake him up suddenly.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

Chen Ming suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiaolong.

It seemed that he was too immersed in his thoughts, so Xiaolong's sudden action actually made Chen Ming's heart tremble, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of fear.

He subconsciously blurted out, "Don't scare me, Xiaolong..."

As he spoke, he patted his chest in shock.

Although it was not a scolding, the dragon still shrank its neck in grievance, lowered its voice, and roared in dissatisfaction and grievance.

It was only then that Chen Ming finally calmed down.

He recalled the sudden fear he felt after being interrupted by Xiaolong.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Sorry Xiaolong, I didn't mean to scold you..."

Thinking back on his gaffe just now, he felt a little ridiculous.

It was just a call from Xiao Long.

And it’s not the kind of person who yells at someone’s face.

They control the volume well.

"It's not Xiaolong who's scaring me...it's just me who scared me so much."

"Echoing Snow..."

"This place, which has been full of legends since my previous life and is full of weirdness, gave me too much psychological pressure. In addition, the creepy feeling of being targeted by ancient beasts was too real."

"The combination of all these things makes me like that."

After shaking his head, Chen Ming took one last look at the space in his backpack where the props disappeared.

He restrained his thoughts and no longer allowed them to spread out randomly.

"Let's continue..."

"It looks like I was warned for breaking some of the rules here."

"But it shouldn't be a big problem."

Chen Ming couldn't tell where the disappeared ancient blood had gone, but he kept in mind the iron law that countless players in previous lives had summarized in the Echo Snowfield——

It was a code that he could no longer fully recall.

It was summed up by the players' blood and lives.

He could only vaguely remember certain terms.

For example, the most important first rule.

"1. If you just want to level up monsters or collect rare resources in Echo Snow, you must remember to stay away from the villagers."

And he couldn't remember whether it was the second or third rule...

"2. Don't pay attention to any strange events that happen without having contact with the villagers. It may be scary, or elusive, or even tempting, but don't be curious. Just pretend nothing happened.”

These two rules are regarded as guidelines by many players who come to Echo Snow but do not want to explore in depth.

Never go beyond the thunder pool.

Chen Ming had no contact with the villagers.

From beginning to end, he was just minding his own business on this icy lake, spawning monsters and upgrading.

Therefore, he decided to continue to follow the iron law of his previous life. He would turn a blind eye to the weirdness just now and never delve into it.

He will not blindly make judgments because of his current strength.

The more you understand the world.

The deeper you get, the deeper you get the truth.

Chen Ming felt more and more that his so-called power was simply not worth mentioning.

Lift the dagger.

Continue to kill monsters.

After a whole day of busy work, his experience value has reached 78.94% of level 35.

The distance to reaching level 36 is already very close.

At this rate, the remaining experience points can be maxed out tonight.

This group of monsters was quickly eliminated.

Chen Ming followed his previous behavior and enshrined the props again and prayed, and soon a new batch of monsters appeared.

What Chen Ming didn't expect was.

It only lasted three to five minutes.

Xiaolong burst out shouting again.

"Um?"

"Did you find the river god again?"

Chen Ming was a little surprised.

He quickly wanted to follow Xiaolong's voice and search for the past, just like before.

But at this moment, his steps were half a beat slow.

He hesitated.

Do not know why.

Completely subconsciously, he interrupted his movement towards that side.

But this is only a momentary thing.

When he came back to his senses, he even felt a little baffled.

"What's wrong with me……"

"Don't want to get close to the river god?"

"It seems that the creepy feeling from before is still affecting me and leaving me with lingering fears."

Chen Ming shook his head helplessly.

More than half an hour had passed, and he was still a little frightened. This did not surprise him. After laughing at himself, Chen Ming gathered his mood and hurried over.

Just as he expected.

The river god has degenerated a lot this time.

The various features on the body are less obvious than before, and even the legs have become much stronger. They are no longer as thin and short as a newborn baby, allowing it to crawl on the ground and crawl on its hands. .

At this moment, it could stand up tremblingly and move reluctantly step by step.

Just among the vast crowd of monsters, its behavior is still quite unique, and it can be easily recognized at a glance.

Looking at it like this, Chen Ming couldn't help but frowned, and there was some fear and resistance in his heart. After taking a last look at the former river god, he retracted his gaze and looked at the little dragon flying in the air.

"Don't call me when you see this guy in the future."

"After all, it has degenerated from a river god to a water ghost..."

"It is no longer a rare monster that is difficult to find."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be refreshed in every wave, so there is no need to call me again."

"After a few more times, it will probably completely lose those characteristics and become the same as an ordinary water ghost."

Out of inner fear and resistance.

Chen Ming said so.

The little dragon nodded obediently.

After explaining all this, Chen Ming waved his hand, "You kill it, I'm leaving first, you and Shadow Dragon are responsible for this side, I'll go to the other side alone."

Hearing Chen Ming's arrangement, Xiaolong couldn't help but tilt his head and conveyed his puzzled thoughts to Chen Ming-wasn't it responsible for one side before, and Chen Ming and Shadow Dragon were responsible for the other side together?

This is the best solution for efficiency considerations.

It is also the solution that Xiaolong is most satisfied with...It just doesn't like Shadow Dragon, and it won't stay with it if it can.

"It's always doing research and inventions there, and I'm annoyed when I see it."

After Chen Ming gave a barely reasonable reason, he sent Xiaolong and Shadow Dragon together.

It is clearly separated from himself.

Although Xiaolong was a little reluctant, it chose to obey Chen Ming's orders unconditionally.

"Huh..."

"This damn place makes me feel uncomfortable no matter how long I stay here..."

"Hurry up and level up, then go offline and sleep to adjust."

"I still have to level up here for several days. If I continue like this, I will scare myself to death if I don't level up enough."

Chen Ming poked his temple with the handle of the dagger.

As if doing this could relieve the pressure accumulated in his heart.
