Chapter 1025 Escape from the Hidden Village!
"truth?"
Lin Baici was very familiar with Goto Mari's voice, and as he called out "Lin Jun", a head popped into the door.
"Are you hurt?"
Goto Mari held a torch and looked Lin Baici up and down worriedly.
"no!"
Lin Baici showed a serious expression: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to save you!"
Goto Mari urged: “Hurry up!”
"This is too dangerous. What are you going to do next?"
Lin Baici activated the Master of Performance, looking completely worried about the future of Goto Mari, but in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that it was right to stay with this girl who made him feel hungry.
"I'll send you away first!"
Goto Mari saw that Lin Baici didn't move, so she tried to pull his hand.
Lin Baici still didn't move. With Goto Mari's strength, she couldn't be pulled away: "I'm from Kyushu. Do you want to follow me to Kyushu?"
Goto Mari paused, then shook her head.
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Baici insisted on getting an answer: "If you let me go, those women in the village will definitely hurt you!"
Goto Mari was silent.
"Aren't you followers of Her Royal Highness the Dragon Lady?"
Lin Baici suggested: "Why don't we go and ask Her Royal Highness Dragon Girl to make the decision?"
"As long as she agrees, we will definitely be safe!"
"This is your home. I can't let you have conflicts with your family because of me, and make you unable to come back here again!"
Lin Baici's earnest words of advice sound like a scumbag.
"On the first day of every new year, we will offer sacrifices to Her Royal Highness the Dragon Lady in one place, but today, Her Royal Highness will not appear!"
Goto Mari thought about it and decided to prioritize Lin Baici’s safety: “I’ll get you off the island first, and we’ll talk about the future later!”
"Will you come with me?"
Lin Baici asked back.
"I won't leave! I can't betray Her Highness Dragon Lady!"
Goto Mari explained: "You broke the stone statue of Jizo that Her Highness the Dragon Lady gave to our village. I have to go and atone for my sin!"
"Then I won't leave either."
Lin Baici was helpless. Being deeply loved by a girl was also troublesome!
He couldn't say, "Take me to see the Dragon Girl right away."
That would seem too deliberate.
"I'll go with you to atone for my sins!"
The light of the fire, reflected on Goto Mari's face, flickered, and Lin Baici confessed: "My second half of life without you is like an oil painting without color, it has no meaning!"
Lin Baici no longer waited.
He snatched the torch, grabbed Goto Mari's hand, and ran outside.
"Let's go find Her Royal Highness Dragon Girl!"
The two men left the dungeon, and when they climbed up the stairs to the ground, Lin Baici saw that this was the backyard of a Western-style house.
He had never seen this building before, but now he had no time to search this house full of Taisho period architectural style.
"How to go?"
Lin Baici asked in a low voice.
Goto Mari gritted her teeth and said, "This way!"
She decided to take Lin Baici to find Her Royal Highness Dragon Girl.
In this pollution of rules, Mari Goto is a rare character.
Outsiders can either follow the normal process and attend the welcoming ceremony, in which case they will be recognized by the villagers, and after living in the village for a period of time, they can go with them to meet the Dragon Girl.
However, there is a certain chance that this audience will fail.
The second way is to kill the sheep-headed woman, but doing so will lead to revenge from the dragon girl.
Beyond this is a special branch.
Mari Goto is the only girl in the village who goes out to study. As long as someone gets her love, whether it is love or friendship, she will bring him back to the village.
Lin Baici now actually has two choices. One is to follow Goto Mari and leave the village, which would not only allow him to leave the town, but also leave the ruins of the Ryugu Island.
The other is to go to the place of sacrifice.
This option also carries the risk of failure.
Because the Dragon Girl is a god, whether she can come out or not depends entirely on her mood at the time, and Goto Mari is just a guide.
After the two men quietly left the mansion, they went into the mountains and climbed along a narrow path.
Lin Baici looked back from time to time, wondering if Xia Hongyao and the others had caught up.
Twenty minutes passed.
Lin Baici didn't see Gao Ponytail and the others, but he heard voices and dog barking coming from the foot of the mountain, and then torches were lit and people came out of the village.
They moved very quickly and soon gathered into a long dragon, which was particularly eye-catching in the deep mountains at night.
Obviously, the people in the village discovered that Lin Baici had run away and went into the mountains, so they came to chase him.
Lin Baici had to speed up.
Even though Goto Mari was a native local, she was not as skilled as Lin Baici, a foreigner, at climbing mountains at night.
The main difference is in physical strength and eyesight.
The light of the torch is not bright, and people will instinctively slow down on the steep and rugged mountain road.
"How far is the truth?"
Lin Baici looked up.
"At this speed, it will take more than an hour!"
Goto Mari was worried.
The women in the village are strong and fast, and they will definitely catch up with me.
Hey!
I shouldn't have been so impulsive and brought Lin Jun into the mountains.
"I'll carry you!"
Lin Baici stopped and took a horse stance.
"No, no, I can walk!"
Goto Mari refused.
"too slow!"
Lin Baici explained: "The women in the village who work all year round are definitely faster than you. Even if we don't get caught up by them, we probably won't have much time to wait for Her Highness Dragon Girl to come out once we get to the sacrifice site!"
"Come up quickly!"
Lin Baici urged.
"If you're tired, tell me!"
Goto Mari jumped onto Lin Baici's back.
She felt that Lin Baici was doing something unnecessary. Although she was not heavy, she would not be able to walk fast while carrying someone on her back.
But soon, she found out that she was wrong.
Not only did Lin Baici run as if it were flat ground, he even started to run. Although it was not a 100-meter sprint, it was definitely not slow.
What kind of terrifying physical strength is this?
Mari Goto was stunned. She looked back and found that the long line of torches that was approaching was being left behind.
In the deep mountains and old forests at night, there were the chirping of insects and birds, the roar of wild beasts, and the sound of Lin Baici's breathing close to his ear.
Mari Goto felt an unprecedented sense of security.
About half an hour later, Lin Baici passed through a forest and climbed a steep slope.
About thirty steps ahead is a cliff!
Wow! Wow!
A mountain stream flows down from the top to the cliff, rushing down and forming a waterfall.
"This is it!"
Goto Mari patted Lin Baici's shoulder, jumped off his back, then quickly ran to the cliff and looked down.
Then her disappointed voice came from the front.
“The water level doesn’t seem to be enough!”
"Water level?"
Lin Baici followed and leaned over to take a look.
With the faint moonlight, it could see a deep pool several dozen meters below.
At first glance, it looks like the single eye of a giant dragon.
"The clan leader said that Her Royal Highness Dragon Girl will only come out when the water level of the deep pool rises to a certain height!"
Goto Mari explained.
Lin Baici understood. It was actually a way to judge whether the Dragon Girl would appear.
"There's another problem. We didn't bring any sacrifices!"
Mari Goto was worried. She couldn't just pray with empty hands, right?
The Dragon Girl will definitely not care!
"I don't think Her Highness Dragon Girl is someone who loves money. As long as we are sincere, we might be able to move her!"
Lin Baici responded casually.
"Ok!"
Never mind, let’s kowtow first!
Mari Goto knelt down and kowtowed without stopping.
Moreover, she kowtowed very devoutly, and after a few kowtows, her forehead turned purple.
Lin Baici was embarrassed. How could he stand like this?
Doesn’t seem good?
But kneeling down and kowtowing...
He is just a god. I have eaten several of them. He is not worthy of me to kowtow to.
But seeing how serious Goto Mari was, Lin Baici felt it would be bad to let her down.
Just when Lin Baici was struggling, Xia Hongyao appeared behind Goto Mari like a ghost and slashed her neck with a knife.
boom!
Goto Mari immediately fell unconscious and fell to the ground.
Lin Baici was quick to grab her to prevent her from falling.
"Those villagers behind are coming up soon!"
Gu Qingqiu walked over and looked towards the deep pool: "Is this the end?"
"What's next?"
There is no time, otherwise Gu Qingqiu would definitely wait quietly for Goto Mari to kowtow and watch what happens.
"Permit sacrifice, wait for the Dragon Girl to appear, and bless her!"
Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.
"Brother Lin, judging from your expression, do you think this plan is unreliable?"
Long Miaomiao seemed to be afraid of heights. She didn't dare to stand and look down. Instead, when she was three meters away from the edge of the cliff, she first lay down and then crawled forward.
The main character is a coward.
【Jump! 】
【One jump can solve all your worries! 】
Nagami reviews.
"Jump?"
Lin Baici frowned slightly: "Into this deep pool?"
The Ghoul God did not answer again, but Lin Baici guessed that this was what it meant.
The long line of torches was getting closer and closer, and the barking of dogs could be heard clearly.
"Yi Jisheng, thank you for your hard work. Jump down and take a look at the situation!"
Before Lin Baici could speak, Gu Qingqiu had already called out his name.
Since you have no idea, just try it.
Yi muscle creatures are divine creatures and cannot die from falling like humans.
Gu Qingqiu brought it to Longgong Island to use it as cannon fodder.
Without further ado, Yi Ji Sheng walked to the edge of the cliff, leaned over to take a look, and then jumped down.
Ten seconds later.
Pfft!
There was a dull sound of something falling into the water.
After waiting for a few more seconds, there was no other sound below.
“It doesn’t seem to float up?”
Long Miaomiao widened her eyes.
"There is something strange about this deep pool. Let's jump in too!"
Gu Qingqiu is extremely brave.
Yi Jisheng didn't die from the fall, but he didn't float up either, which means that this deep pool might be the passage to the next level.
"Let me try it first... Shit!"
Xia Hongyao originally wanted to say, I'll jump first, but before she could even get into position, Gu Qingqiu had already jumped.
Crazy, bold, and resolute!
"Wow, Sister Gu is so cool!"
Long Miaomiao's two chubby hands snapped happily
"Is now the time to talk about this?"
Xia Hongyao was speechless: "Hurry up and jump!"
She was worried that the time interval between them was too short and they would be separated, and then the little loach might get into trouble.
"I'm afraid of heights!"
Long Miaomiao looked at Lin Baici pitifully. Before she could finish her words, Lin Baici grabbed her by the back of the collar and jumped down with her.
call!
The air flow from the mountain stream poured into his ears, making him feel very uncomfortable. Then with a splash, Lin Baici felt himself falling into the water.
He did not let go of Long Miaomiao, and at the same time adjusted his posture, trying to swim up, but his body seemed to be frozen, and it was very difficult for him to move, and his body kept sinking.
Gulu! Gulu!
Lin Baici blew out a string of bubbles.
The further down you go, the darker the view becomes, until finally, it's pitch black.
Lin Baici wanted to activate NOBODY and teleport upwards to see if he could escape, but he couldn't use this divine grace while holding Long Miaomiao.
This made him a little confused.
They followed me here, I can't just abandon them, what if they die here...
"Gu Qingqiu, it's up to you!"
Lin Baici decided to wait a little longer.
After about four or five minutes, Lin Baici felt a hand grabbing him and starting to drag him up.
coming?
Lin Baici was cheered up.
As he swam upstream, Lin Baici's body began to regain the ability to move, and his vision began to become clear.
He saw that it was Gu Qingqiu who was pulling him, while Xia Hongyao was swimming towards Yi Jisheng.
After they entered the water, they found that they could not move, so they immediately activated NOBODY upwards. After they emerged from the water and regained their freedom, they immediately came down to rescue people.
Lin Baici was dragged out of the water, opened his mouth and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.
"I'm going to save the E-Haki!"
Lin Baici dived again.
"Sister Gu, I can swim by myself!"
Long Miaomiao swam towards the shore.
The two of them went ashore and waited for about ten minutes. Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao dragged Yi Jisheng up.
This is no longer near the deep pool, but a huge lake. There is white fog all around and the visibility is about 30 meters.
"It seems that the rules for the next game are contaminated!"
Xia Hongyao tried the space god's taboo item and found it worked. She immediately took out some clean clothes and asked everyone to change into them.
"What should we do now?"
Long Miaomiao bit a piece of sausage and looked at Lin Baici quietly, then glanced at Gu Qingqiu.
"Find clues and leave this fog!"
Xia Hongyao saw a big willow tree and ran over.
She wanted to climb up and look far away, maybe she could see some clues.
Gulu!
Lin Baici felt hungry and his stomach was growling.
Like a compass, he slowly turned in a circle, feeling the direction of his hunger.
"Hongyao, stop climbing the tree and walk this way!"
Lin Baici put on the robes of the Bodhi messenger, holding a bronze sword in his right hand and a ghost oil lamp in his left hand.
No one asked the reason, but followed silently. They also took out their weapons and were ready to fight at any time.
Roar!Roar!
Suddenly, in the fog, there were roars of wild beasts, and from the sound, those things were approaching everyone quickly.
"coming soon!"
Xia Hongyao licked her lips excitedly.
After waiting for so long, I can finally go on a killing spree.
"Don't fight, run!"
Lin Baici growled and sped up immediately.
If there was no hunger radar, Lin Baici and his companions would be trapped in the fog, trying to find a way out while facing attacks from hordes of monsters. But now, Lin Baici led everyone to run wildly.
After half an hour, everyone rushed up a big staircase.
The higher we climbed, the thinner the white mist became, until it disappeared.
When everyone climbed the 3,000 steps, there was a row of red-painted torii gates in front of them.
Lin Baici saw a man kneeling in front of the Torii.
