"It always feels a little strange." Several people were walking in front of the forest, and Feng Yiliu here suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" asked Li Huailin in front.

"How many bears have we cut down?" Feng Yiliu asked.

"Oh? This... seven or eight?" Li Huailin thought for a while, after walking, he encountered seven or eight doll bears, and all of them were killed if nothing unexpected happened.

"There are eight." Feng Yiliu here said, "Everyone, we have not received any attacks from teddy bears in all the battles in the following battles."

"Nonsense, this thing's attack is so big that you can avoid it with just a move." Your Qianzai is unchanged here and said immediately.

"The problem is... it's so easy to avoid..." Feng Yiliu said here, "Everyone, this is a secret realm. The theoretical difficulty is similar to that of the abyss of the same level, but don't you find it strange that the attacks of the monsters that appear here can actually dodge perfectly. "

"Huh? Why do you say that there is a little bit?" Qianzai said thinking about it.

"Is anyone finally starting to be smart..." said the summoned Jade Emperor next to him.

"From the beginning, I discovered that only small monsters like bears appear in this forest, and their experience after fighting was only 105 points. Don't you think it's a little less than the abyss?" Feng Yiliu continued.

"Indeed, this experience is like the experience of an ordinary level 30 monster, not like a monster that has received bonuses." Qianzai Bubing nodded.

"Although it is a monster in the secret realm, it has no attribute bonus. Isn't this a bit strange?" Feng Yiliu said.

"Is there any conclusion?" said Li Huailin, who was walking in the front.

"Conclusion?" Feng Yiliu thought for a while, "There is too little information and there is no conclusion."

"Then tell me a yarn." Li Huailin spread his hands.

"I'm just a little curious." Feng Yiliu said.

"Okay, in short, there will always be a conclusion after the task. It is not very good to look forward to it now." Li Huailin said, "Oh, it seems like you have walked out of the forest ahead."

"Oh?" The few people looked forward and found that it was indeed no longer a forest in front, because there was a very large lake directly in front of them, and there was no edge when it extended from both sides. However, you could see that there were mountains across the lake.

Li Huailin looked down and saw that the lake water was very clear and clean, and almost all the bottom of the lake could be seen. However, since it was cloudy and there was no sunlight shining on the lake surface, it looked a little gloomy.

"It doesn't seem like you can swim over." You looked at Qianzai Wanchang here and said, "It seems that there is at least a few kilometers away on the other side. It's dawn when you swim over."

Of course, players of "Heart of Glory" can go into the water and can also dive, but the useful speed and the speed of walking on the road are calculated separately. The default player's swimming speed is very slow, but there are also equipment to increase the swimming speed, but there are only five people now. It will indeed take half a day to travel through this lake according to the default swimming speed.

"So I've said it's not this road... You see, there's no road as you walk? Don't tell me that I'm really swimming over." The summoning Jade Emperor here spreads his hands, "What should I do now, Mr. Captain."

"What should be nearby?" Li Huailin suddenly said with great certainty.

"Hey, you should give up, you're a man after all. Is it so difficult to admit a mistake? You obviously knew that you were walking around and leading the wrong way, okay?" said your summoning Jade Emperor here.

"Hmm?" Feng Yiliu and Qianzai Bubang here also began to look at Li Huailin with suspicion.

"No...in fact, I do think what's here?" Li Huailin said seriously.

"What can I do? Obviously you can't recognize the direction, but fortunately, I'll have no way after walking for more than ten minutes, otherwise I really don't know how much time I'll waste." The Summoning Jade Emperor sighed and said.

"No, I think it's here. In fact, when I first entered the secret realm, I had already noticed it on the hillside." Li Huailin said, "It's obvious that there are forests around, but only one of them is a lake here. And when I looked here on the hillside, I discovered a strange phenomenon."

"A strange phenomenon?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"It was obviously cloudy, but I saw the lake water emitting golden light..." Li Huailin said.

"Golden light?" The summoned Jade Emperor turned his head and looked in the direction of the lake. "There is no light at all. Did you see it wrong? Did anyone else see it?"

"Ah? I just paid attention to the black smoke and didn't notice the matter in the lake at all." Qianzai here said.

"I didn't pay attention, either." Feng Yiliu said.

"I." An Ran here suddenly raised his hand and said. "I saw it too."

"Alas? Did you see it too?" said the summoned Jade Emperor in surprise, "Really?"

"Yeah." An Ran nodded, "There is indeed light. I have seen it a few seconds before I saw the black smoke, and more than once."

"Hey, why don't you say it?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"Yeah." An Ran nodded.

"What does 'Yeah' mean? You can explain it at least." Summoning Jade Emperor roared.

"Actually there is something else." Li Huailin suddenly said again.

"What else?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"After I arrived at the village, I discovered two more things, first, the road." Li Huailin said.

"Lu?" Summoning Jade Emperor said strangely.

"Yes, in fact, there are two roads in the village we passed by just now." Li Huailin said, "The first one is the road we found for the first time, leading to the village, but that is to think about it the other way around. This road is actually the road leading to the outside of the village, right?"

"Yes." Summoning Jade Emperor nodded.

"It's interesting now. I also discovered the second road in the village. Where do you think the second road in the hidden village in the secret realm leads to?" Li Huailin asked.

"Ha? I didn't pay any attention." Qianzai said.

"Didn't that villager said there is a castle in the north? It must be where it leads." said the Summoning Jade Emperor.

"Yes, I thought so at first, but in fact we all tried it. At first we were all heading towards the north, but we didn't see the road, right?" Li Huailin said.

"Yes." Feng Yiliu nodded, "There is no way. After walking a few steps, I have arrived at the forest."

"Where does that lead?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"Of course it's here, by the lake." Li Hualin said.

"Here?" Summoned the Jade Emperor and looked around.

"Look at the soil under our feet carefully... Although it was not crushed, it was obviously something that someone had walked by. I am sure this is part of the road. Going south along this side, you should be able to go back to the village along the way. It is at most fifteen minutes away from the village. If you don't believe it, you can try it." Li Huailin pointed in a direction and said.

The Jade Emperor summoned the Jade Emperor and looked down at the soil under his feet. He didn't pay attention to it just now. It was indeed a bit strange now. There was no weed at all. Naturally, it was unlikely that this would appear. It was obvious that someone might have walked by here.

"Okay, now I'm talking about my second discovery." Li Huailin paused for a moment and continued.

"What is it?" Summoning the Jade Emperor really didn't pay attention to the strangeness in the village. As a result, Li Huailin actually discovered two, the first one was reasonable and well-founded, which made her curious about the second discovery.

"First of all, everyone think about it first. I said that no matter what, a person who is not dead will be left in the village and then the mission will be sent to us, right?" Li Huailin said.

"Yes, yes, we know you are the smartest." Summoning Jade Emperor rolled his eyes and said.

"Generally speaking, this is the case, but this time the situation is different." Li Huailin said. "The general situation is that the village is full of corpses, so a person who was not dead pretended to be dead and avoided the disaster. Then he was given the mission to us..."

"I'll go, I understand. No wonder I always feel that something is wrong when I enter the village." Feng Yiliu here suddenly realized, "There are no corpses at all. This time the other party took all the corpses away. It's impossible for him to leave only one person in the village."

"Yes. Don't you think it's strange? Why did the other party even take away the body but leave a person who is not dead?" Li Huailin asked?

"Is the trap? Actually, that person was left intentionally by the other party?" Summoning Jade Emperor guessed.

"Silly, how did the other party know that someone would come to the village and why they set traps? The other party probably doesn't know the existence of our team until now, right?" Li Huailin said.

"Yes, what's going on?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"It's very simple, because this person was not in the village when something happened in the village." Li Huailin said.

"Oh?" Summoning the Jade Emperor was stunned, "No, then how did he die?"

"Bear." Li Huailin stretched out a finger and said.

"Impossible, the other party has a knife wound." The summoned Jade Emperor immediately said, "If you are beaten to death by a bear, it will not be a knife wound."

"Yes, there is a big knife wound on the left chest." Feng Yiliu said here.

"The knife wound does not have to be cut with a knife, you can also use an axe." Li Huailin said.

"Axe?" The summoning Jade Emperor suddenly thought of the mission props old axe, "Wait, it's true that when the axe was handed to us, there was blood on it, but the other party was covered in blood, and it was normal for him to be covered in blood. But you can figure it out first, whether it's a knife or an axe, a bear will not know how to use it."

"So, in fact, the knife wound, although it looks scary, actually it is not to die." Li Huailin said, "Think carefully about the other party's death, was the chest covered by his hands?"

"Oh? Is this important? I... didn't pay attention..." The summoned Jade Emperor recalled it for a moment, but he still couldn't remember it, and he didn't pay attention to such a small place at all.

"To the right." An Ran on this side suddenly said, "That's right."

"Yes, it's the right side. Think about it carefully. Generally, you will subconsciously cover the position where you are seriously injured, but the knife wound is on the left. Why does that guy have to cover the right side?" Li Huailin said, "It's very simple. The left side is just scratched, and the position where the bear hits the right side is fatal."

"Ha?" Susuming the Jade Emperor suddenly felt that he could not keep up, "Can you explain it more clearly?"

"Simply put, this guy was attacked by the bear with an axe, and then was hit by the bear several times. As a result, one of them hit the axe, which flew out and scratched the other party. But because the axe was very important, he picked it up and continued to fight, but he still failed to beat the bear and received a fatal blow." Li Huailin said.

"That's right?" Summoning the Jade Emperor said in disbelief.

"Otherwise, the situation at the scene cannot be explained." Li Huailin said, "Or what can you explain?"

"Well..." Summoning the Jade Emperor for a while, "That's it. Even if he was beaten to death by a bear, what does it have to do with us? The other party is just a NPC who conveys the mission. No matter how he dies, he will always give us the mission."

"Didn't you notice it?" Li Huailin said, "There is a very strange place here."

"Ah?" said in confusion, "What a strange place."

"It's just an axe." Li Huailin said, "Why is this guy holding an axe?"

"Ha? What's so strange about this? Isn't this axe a treasure in the village? He... He... Wait... He's not in the village..." The summoned Jade Emperor suddenly realized.

"I understand. He didn't have time to go back to the village to get an axe. When he noticed, the village was already in ruins, and all the houses were on fire. If the axe was in a house in the village, he would not have been able to get it. Everyone in the village was taken away, and he would not have been able to get it in the hands of the villagers." Li Huailin said, "In fact, he was attacked by bears before he even arrived in the village. He returned to the village while beating and retreating and then fell there. The blood on the ground at the ground began to extend in from outside. It means that he only walked to the village after being injured, and the position where he fell was also near the other road I mentioned."

"Ha? The more I listened, the more confused I became. If your assumptions were true, then where did this axe come from?" said the Summoning Jade Emperor.

"It's very simple. He returned to the village with an axe, so everything can be explained." Li Huailin said.
