Chapter 342: Safe Zone, Abnormal!
The team was scheduled to depart at noon, and there were about two hours left for preparation.
And Luen also encountered some minor embarrassment. Perhaps to celebrate Luen's survival, or perhaps because of a lack of security, the beautiful female teacher Liv wanted to do some things with Luen to applaud love.
Although she was not a virgin, and Liv's appearance and figure were not bad, Luen still refused this popular thing on the grounds that his wound had not healed.
The real reason was that on the one hand, he felt weird, and there was always an illusion of deceiving others' feelings. On the other hand, he was not the real Rody after all. Now everyone was not interested in him, and his role was still qualified, but when it came to rolling in the sheets. As we all know, women are very sensitive to this aspect.
The chance of revealing flaws will be greatly increased. After all, Luen knew nothing about what position, what endurance, cough cough.
In short, in Liv's resentful eyes, Luen ignored all kinds of temptations like a saint and drank cold water for two hours.
Generally, punctuality is the most basic quality for those who accomplish great things. Therefore, just after two hours, there was a knock on the door. Lu En opened the door and saw that it was Luke and others who were fully armed.
Compared with the previous expedition team, Luke and others were obviously much more prepared. They carried mountaineering clothes, weapons, hats, various emergency items, weapons, and even sleeping bags. There were only about a dozen people. Lu En saw Luke's brother, the sheriff, among them.
This was also Lu En's purpose, otherwise he would not easily accept Luke's invitation.
Observing the changes in the sheriff up close can make Lu En understand the truth of the matter better. In comparison, other things are irrelevant.
As for Luke's preparation, Lu En and his companions dressed like they were going out for a picnic. They mixed in the team and walked out of the town without paying attention to the strange looks of the townspeople along the way.
From this point, it can also be seen that the mayor has almost no control over the entire town and cannot control the free entry and exit of the townspeople at all.
The other biological groups that Lu En guessed would attack humans or even conduct tests did not happen either. Not only that, the groups that were originally near humans even left one after another, as if they were afraid of these humans.
This made Lu En's original idea of finding one or two creatures to experiment on himself fall through. It was as if some existence had forcibly divided a safe zone around this area, and no creature dared to stay in it.
Was it done by the creator hidden in the dark?
Lu En didn't know, but in any case, this behavior showed that these humans were important, or had other important functions.
The group walked through the cross section of the home tree and came to the edge again, but this time they did not choose to go deep into the tree hole, but took out ropes from their backpacks, as if they were going to climb down from the surface of the home tree.
This is indeed a solution, but this place is at least hundreds of meters above the ground. Once something happens, there is no way to go up or down, and there is no way to escape.
This guy dared to gamble with his life like this?
Luen looked at Luke in surprise. As expected, others also disagreed with this method. Some even suggested that it would be more reliable to dig stairs directly down from the tree.
However, Luke showed puzzling confidence and strength, saying that this method was the best one. Those who were brought out by Luke, if not die-hard fans, at least trusted him and were persuaded by him. From this point of view, he still had some personality charm.
Luen naturally didn't care whether it was possible or not, but Liv was quite nervous and hugged Luen's arm tightly, which attracted Luke's hidden jealousy and malice.
Luen was almost certain that this guy invited him out with bad intentions, and he might be looking for an opportunity to kill Roddy.
This is not impossible. Sometimes, people change much faster than you think.
Moreover, along the way, Luen was observing the reaction of Luke's brother, the sheriff. Compared with Luke's active and strong personality, the sheriff's brother was unusually silent and low-key. Most of the time, he was behind him as a background. Luen did not use the ability of his real body, so he could only observe secretly through his keen senses.
Luen felt that the sheriff's current state was like being in a kind of chaos, that is, he had consciousness and instinct, but most of his consciousness and attention seemed to be placed on other aspects, so that he appeared silent and dazed, but his actions were normal without any sluggishness.
At the same time, Luen also noticed that the sheriff's hand always unconsciously scratched his neck, as if it was itchy there, and every time he scratched, there would always be fine green spots under the skin, and then slowly disappeared.
As if noticing Luen's gaze, the sheriff's lifeless eyes turned directly towards him, with some kind of stiff and silent terror. Luen immediately felt a sharp pain in his arm, and heard Liv's terrified voice: "Roddy, the sheriff looks a little bit wrong."
"I know."
Lun smiled at the sheriff, who turned his head away expressionlessly, and then pulled away her nails that were almost embedded in his flesh, and whispered: "It's okay, believe me!"
Following the long rope, the group descended on the surface of the home tree like climbing a rock. In fact, the surface of the home tree is extremely rough, and sometimes there are cracks or caves dug by other creatures. Some tree branches can also be used for landing, which is not as scary as imagined.
Originally, the biggest threat should be the creatures living on it, but they were strangely calm all the way. Sometimes Lu En's keen senses could detect some movements, but nothing abnormal happened.
Until they landed on a tree branch again, not far from the ground, everyone gradually relaxed. The sheriff, who had been silent all the time, suddenly pointed to a hole in the home tree and said: "The water is in it!"
"What?"
Everyone was excited, of course, this was not all excitement. Even Luke, the leader, was a little confused when facing his brother's actions and looked at the dark cave.
"This is obviously a tree hole. How could there be water in the tree? We need it."
Before he finished speaking, the sheriff walked into the tree hole without paying any attention to the crowd. Seeing this, Luke hurriedly followed him. It seemed that he also felt that something was wrong with the sheriff and wanted to pull him out.
Who knew that the sheriff was so powerful at this time that three or four strong men were dragged in by him. Hearing Luke's shouts, the remaining people outside looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds.
After all, the lesson of almost half of the people being injured and killed in the last rash drilling was still vivid in their minds, and no one wanted to become one of those unlucky people who died.
But then they saw Rody, who was transformed by Luen, walk in without hesitation. Liv hesitated for a moment and followed him, and finally rushed in.
As for the danger, Luen didn't know what dangers there would be in other tree holes, but he knew what would appear in this one.
Because this is the lair of the goblins!
