Chapter 129 Sequence 6: The Beginning of Advancement

"It seems we can talk about it." Lu En said, "Tell me, what specific benefits will it give me?"

When the colorful crow heard Rune's promise, it flapped its wings, raised its head and said with disdain: "If you help me undo the curse, then I can show you the path to the advanced sequence."

It sounded proud and proud, "I know what you want!"

"The conditions seem pretty good."

Lu En lowered his head and thought for a moment.

When I came to Yinsha Port, all I wanted was an opportunity.

This is why I came to the Forbidden Forest.

Unexpectedly, not long after entering, I encountered a related adventure.

What a good luck!

But having said that, with little Carter by his side, his luck wasn't that bad.

"Then you can tell me, what's so special about the cabin in the woods? And how can I avoid being killed by you?"

In both sentences, Rune used interrogative sentences to ensure that the crow would not tell lies.

"Simple, simple!" The colorful crow cackled, "When you walk in from the left road, you will see the forest cabin. Little Red Riding Hood is sleeping inside. You can save her by taking a key from her waist. I."

It lowered its voice, "It's just that Little Red Riding Hood's sleep is very light. When you take the key from her, you may wake her up. Then you will have to pick up the fairy tale book next to her and read her fairy tales."

"There are many good things in the room. Which ones you can get depends on your luck."

"After you come out, follow the path on the right and you will be able to return here. After you unlock my seal, a third path will appear here!"

"I will chase you. Don't look back when the time comes. Keep running along the third road. You will be able to get out of the forest and see what you want."

"Understood." Rune waved his hand and followed the colorful crow's instructions and walked towards the path on the left.

As we continue to move forward, the world in front of us begins to become fragmented.

Like countless pieces of glass pieced together.

Each sharp glass shard reflected the dark green forest.

These fragments kept approaching Rune until they seemed to pierce his body, and then disappeared again.

Even Lu En walked towards these glass fragments after being mentally prepared.

In this forest, it is impossible to see what is true and what is false.

So these glass shards could be fake or real.

The rules of the forest at this point may cause serious injuries to those who pass through.

No one can tell.

But no matter what, the first rule of the Forbidden Forest must be followed.

[Follow the path, do not turn or turn back]

Just move forward!

Fortunately, the glass shards in front of me are all illusions.

The further you go, the more real the illusion appears in front of you.

Rune was completely unable to tell the difference between true and false.

But he was too lazy to distinguish the true from the false.

Anyway, just move forward.

After half an hour of dreamlikeness, the world in front of me finally became clear.

There was a sour smell of mucus in the air.

Lu En narrowed his eyes and looked forward.

I was slightly shocked.

Because at the very front, the so-called "hut in the woods" turned out to be a terrifyingly large snail!

It is somewhat similar to the snail Randy mentioned before, but not exactly the same.

A very large blue snail that is three to four meters tall and over ten meters in size, carrying a pink shell on its back.

In the very center of the shell was a window with a locked door underneath.

The snail glanced at Lu En, his two oversized eyes a little surprised.

But he didn’t say anything or do anything to Rune. He just bit off the leaves from the top and chewed them in his mouth.

Lu En felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the snail.

He quietly stepped forward, took out the key he had obtained before, and gently opened the door on the snail shell.

A small house full of girlish atmosphere appeared in front of me.

Everything inside was the same color as the snail shell, pink.

Little Red Riding Hood's daily necessities are placed around.

Clothes, skirts, and spices were scattered everywhere.

After glancing around, Lu En's eyes locked on a mushroom.

——

[Natural Wonder]: King of Flavor Mushrooms

[Level]: Lv.70

[Effect]: After taking it, the resistance to decay increases by 20% (only once); if you take it repeatedly, you will enter a (sleep) state and have a beautiful hallucinogenic dream.

PS: The items Little Red Riding Hood worked hard to collect in the forest are also his favorite rations——

A natural wonder!

Lu En was no stranger to this thing, and even looked forward to meeting it again every day.

I didn't expect that today would be such a fate.

The devil's peppers and tombstone mushrooms he bought from the black market merchant were still fresh in his memory.

nice one!

He did not hesitate to bite the King of Flavor mushrooms into pieces and swallowed them into his stomach.

[Rot resistance increased by 20%! 】

[Current rot resistance: 40%! 】

Lugard's potion, coupled with the King of Flavor Mushrooms at the moment, forcibly raised Rune's resistance to 40%.

Almost immune to half of the negative status and damage associated with rot.

It’s like a fortress!

However, the last word "him" on the Flavor King Mushroom panel made Lu En feel bad.

He turned his head and looked at the pink cradle beside him. A two-meter-tall man wearing a red skirt, golden hair, pink hairpins, and a white apron was sleeping sweetly.

Is this Little Red Riding Hood?

His hair is extremely luxuriant, his face is untidy, and the thick and long sweat hair on his exposed calves has curled.

But fortunately, this guy didn't snore.

Rune held his breath and tiptoed towards Little Red Riding Hood.

He swore that he had never been so nervous in his life.

Even when facing those terrifying monsters, he was full of fighting spirit.

But facing Little Red Riding Hood in front of him, he couldn't muster up the courage.

He was afraid that the other party would suddenly wake up.

Just thinking about that scene was terrifying.

Rune's eyes glanced at the key on Little Red Riding Hood's waist.

The lonely colorful toy key hung on his right waist.

On the left, there was also a colorful toy dagger.

For Little Red Riding Hood and the things on her body, Rune didn't even dare to use the Peeping Eye.

The colored crow had said before that although Little Red Riding Hood was in a deep sleep, this sleep was very shallow.

If Rune used the Peeping Eye to investigate the slightly more powerful people, they would definitely wake them up.

Concentrating his mind and calming his breath, he quietly reached out to Little Red Riding Hood's waist.

Very good, he successfully got the key.

At the moment of retracting his hand, Rune's hand was caught off guard by a hairy hand.

"Huh? Brother, why did you take Little Red Riding Hood's key?"

A typical child's voice.

Rune's hair stood up.

Little Red Riding Hood's hand was very strong, and Rune couldn't resist it.

He was in tears, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

"Brother, say something!"

Rune was speechless.

Little Red Riding Hood frowned, "It's all my brother's fault for waking me up. I've been suffering from severe insomnia recently."

"If my brother can coax me to sleep, I'll give you the key."

Little Red Riding Hood's thick eyebrows, big eyes, and long eyelashes stared at Rune, making him feel uncomfortable.

Rune took a deep breath, looked at Little Red Riding Hood in front of him, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Turning his eyes to the bedside, a book "Bedtime Story" came into view.

Rune sat on the bedside, opened the book, and began to read.

"A long time ago, there was a brave and wise captain."

Little Red Riding Hood pulled her fan quilt, buttoned her ears, continued to stare at Rune, and then listened to the story quietly.

Rune took the storybook and read it, and the more he read, the more wrong it was.

This story. Why does it seem to be about himself?

He looked at Little Red Riding Hood, who was still energetic and didn't look like she was sleepy at all.

Helpless, Rune could only continue to read.

He recited about killing ten thousand black snakes, about the deal with Chris, about cutting off the head of the Hydra.

One hour, two hours, twelve hours passed.

Little Red Riding Hood still had her eyes wide open, getting more and more excited.

Run was a little tired.

Until he read the last page, a whole day had passed.

Little Red Riding Hood still didn't fall asleep.

"Hey, it seems that my insomnia can't be cured." Little Red Riding Hood sighed, "You must be thirsty, brother, drink some water."

As he said that, he brought a cup of light yellow liquid from the side.

Run frowned tightly, and the peeping eye was activated immediately.

[Lemon honey water: After drinking it, within twelve hours, ignore any illusion below sequence 4, and the mind will fall into (excited) state]

Confirming that it was not something he imagined, Rune took a sip.

It was sour and sweet, and tasted good.

After drinking the lemon honey water, Rune's head suddenly felt dizzy.

The scene in front of him changed.

He was still standing in front of Little Red Riding Hood's bed, keeping the posture of holding the key.

Little Red Riding Hood showed no sign of waking up, lying quietly in bed.

"Is it an illusion?"

Luen wondered.

But on the status bar, the time of lemon honey water continued!

Luen looked at Little Red Riding Hood on the bed, and was shocked.

"Take the key away for a while."

He whispered this sentence, took the key, and hurried away.

The big snail eating leaves outside saw Luen, and still stared at him curiously with its big eyes.

After getting the key, Luen breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the colorful crow, you can go back along the path on the right.

This is actually a circle!

The journey back is easier than imagined.

With the blessing of lemon honey water, there is no obstacle at all along the way.

The environment in the forest no longer has any effect on Luen.

Ten minutes later, Luen returned to the road sign.

The colorful crow danced happily on the road sign.

But the threats never stopped coming out of its mouth, "Damn human, quickly remove the curse and let me hunt you down!"

"If you can escape from my hunt by chance, you can get what you want, the key item of the advanced sequence."

"Remember, run faster, otherwise it will be meaningless if I chase you down!"

Lun raised his eyebrows and approached the road sign with the toy key.

The next second, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically!

The surrounding trees seemed to be pushed aside by an irresistible force, revealing a hidden path in the middle.

The colorful crow behind him flapped its wings and flew directly towards Rune!

Draw your gun quickly!

Rune immediately began to run, slightly faster than the crow.

He rushed through the trail, and along the way, many strange beings around him poked their heads out to see what was going on.

But when they saw the crow behind him, they immediately hid back in the forest.

The crow behind him was also very noisy at this time, "Haha, is this all you can do? I will speed up and catch up with you immediately!"

Rune had a plan in mind after hearing this.

The crow behind him swooped down from the air, and he dodged, and then several smoke bombs quickly exploded around.

The smoke quickly enveloped the trail, and the crow in the air could not tell where Rune was at all.

It could only bombard with colorful flames frantically, but it could not hurt Rune at all.

In ten minutes, Rune quickly crossed the trail, used sixteen smoke bombs, and successfully avoided the crow's pursuit.

In front, a golden treasure chest was placed at the end.

At the last meter of the trail, when Rune stepped out of the forest, the colorful crow that was originally chasing behind him immediately turned around and circled for a while.

It landed on a branch at the edge of the forest and looked at Rune with proud eyes, "Boy, I'll spare your life for the sake of stealing the key. Don't come to this place again in the future. It's very dangerous!"

After that, it flapped its wings and returned to the forest with a raging flame!

Rune looked at the terrifying flame and knew in his heart that what the other party said was true.

When chasing him, I'm afraid it was released.

It's just that it's a bit unfortunate for the things in the forest to encounter its flame.

Looking at the treasure chest in front of him, Rune opened it cautiously.

This time it seems to have encountered four adventures, but in fact there is only one.

Grandma Wolf, Road Sign Crow, and Little Red Riding Hood are all a series of adventures. The mantis man in the front is a little special.

But he didn't really trigger the mantis man-related adventure.

Looking at the items in the treasure chest,

except for the taste king mushroom, this should be his harvest from entering the forbidden forest this time.

——

[Level]: Level 1

②Increase the ability to comprehend rules, spells, and formations by 1%

③Use it to sense the call of the Forbidden Forest

PS: The recognition of the Forbidden Forest will bring great prestige among pirates and even everyone

——

Heart Fruit is what "Sir" mentioned before.

From the other party's words, it seems that everyone who "passes" the Forbidden Forest once will definitely get relevant rewards.

And the Explorer's Proof, a small badge, surprised Rune.

The fate of a pirate requires reputation and deeds among pirates.

Exploring mysterious places and obtaining treasures is also a kind of fate.

So this badge might help me advance.

Silver Sand Port, Emerald Bar.

"Hey, Sir, good evening."

A young man in simple clothes sat down at the bar without any hesitation.

Then he slapped the dagger and flintlock in his hand on the bar,

"Three cups of Hot Lover."

The Sir saw the person coming, smiled, and then began to mix drinks silently.

This guy is an old acquaintance.

The first mate of the Blue Tide Ship, the top extraordinary person of Sequence 7, the "dagger man" Morde who is well-known among pirates.

This guy's "top" is not ordinary.

It can be said that it is difficult to find someone who can match him in Sequence 7.

If he hadn't been stuck in his fate, he would have been promoted to Sequence 6 long ago.

With his ability, he should have been poached by other powerful ships to show his skills.

But in order to repay the captain for saving his life unexpectedly, he chose to stay.

Morde drank two large glasses of wine in a row, sighed comfortably, and then sipped the third glass.

He looked at the Jazz and shrugged, "You should know why I came here."

"Of course." The Jazz seemed to have expected it, "But you came earlier than I thought."

"Where is that guy?" Mord shook his glass, "If you dare to kill the members of the Blue Tide, you should be prepared to die."

Among the pirates, especially those who are a little famous, they cherish their lives very much.

Unless they have a complete fall out, they generally won't kill each other.

But they will leave hostages in exchange for ransom.

Lune's rude killing is equivalent to declaring war on the Blue Tide Fleet and all the people related to it.

They can accept the "failure" of the pirate members.

But "death" is death in Silver Sand Port.

They can't stand it.

The Jazz didn't answer Mord's question directly, but said lightly: "You are not his opponent."

Mold frowned slightly, "He is a strong man of Sequence 6.?"

"It shouldn't be, I haven't heard of his name, he calls himself 'Captain'." The Jazz said.

"Captain." Molde thought about the name for a moment. "Since I'm not a Sequence 6, I should give it a try. I'm not afraid of anyone among Sequence 7." He took a cheque. The words "2000" gold coins on it were very irritating.

Jazz accepted it happily, "He went to the Forbidden Forest."

"Forbidden Forest?!" Molde couldn't hold it any longer this time, "Why did he go to that damn place? Is it because he wanted to be promoted to the rank? Bullshit!"

If that guy goes to the Forbidden Forest, he won't find anyone to take revenge, and he'll waste two thousand gold coins in vain.

What bad luck!

He sighed dejectedly and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Jazz, "How do you know that he can't come back if he goes to the Forbidden Forest?"

Molde looked contemptuous, "How many people can come back from that damn place? The one-quarter chance everyone talks about is just a rough estimate. You and I both know how many places there are. horrible."

Their conversation was not hidden, and all the pirates around them heard the conversation.

"Pirate 'Captain', Massacre Street"

"Kill the bosun of the Blue Tide ship."

"To the Forbidden Forest"

They heard all these words without missing a beat.

They all sighed and discussed that a really powerful pirate might be able to create some legendary stories.

As a result, we entered the forbidden forest.

Pity.

The more Molde thought about it, the more depressed he became. He turned back to the bar and said, "Five more cups of hot lovers!"

One glass after another, the spicy wine enters the stomach, bringing a feeling of tipsiness.

"Damn bitch 'Captain', died like this?" Molde was a little drunk, "It's boring!"

At this time, the door of the bar was pushed open.

The pressure like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood swept over everyone present.

"I seem to hear someone scolding me?"
