Half a month later.
On the periphery of the Silent Forest.
“Didn’t come yet? What a…pity!”
Su Lu looked at the three plant-like men before him with some regret.
The wound on his shoulder had been properly treated, and with the addition of a [Strong LVI] passive, there was no major issue now.
At least, his left hand could barely move, but he still couldn’t use much strength.
“Even though my Magic Potion Refining skill doesn’t improve, having LVI is quite good, at least the previously stocked potions came in handy this time…” Each skill in the attribute column was very useful and had miraculous effects.
Su Lu looked up at the sky.
The light of dawn was about to fall, another beautiful day.
“You three are lucky, maybe you can live for three more days, but perhaps that is your misfortune?”
The murders by the Cursed Spirit were regular.
Once targeted, it would be relentless.
One of the Pottery family’s ancestors thought he had escaped the curse, not knowing it was just a delayed death sentence for more than ten years!
“These three robbers are all cursed by Gaosuo, and the Evil Spirit Knight will surely come after them… Of course, it might have to wait until the other Gered bandits are destroyed. It’s a matter of probability, but it will certainly happen!” Su Lu looked towards the Silent Forest.
He discovered that if he did not enter the range of the old house, he would be fine.
But the curse hanging in the attribute column had no change at all.
Therefore, after obtaining the information about Gered bandits and Evil Spirit Knight in the black market, he set up a crazy plan: using the Cursed Spirit to severely damage or even destroy the old house!
Both are powerful evil spirits, the demise of any one of them is good news for su Lu.
As for gaining experience points, it’s just a side matter.
At this time, the three captured were his bait!
Just one entry-level occupational person and two ordinary people. Su Lu could easily suppress the ordinary people. As for the occupational person who is a [Soldier], after breaking both hands and feet, he couldn’t run at all. “The battle in the valley last time, I don’t know who won in the end…” “The Cursed Spirit can be easily manipulated because it has a pattern!”
Su Lu had directly hired people with Golden Dragon to do what Zoren had asked him, after all, it was just delivering a message to Geli.
What’s most important to him now is the outcome of the Silent Forest’s old house!
“If the curse from the transcendent side is not resolved as soon as possible, who knows what bizarre changes will happen… Even if these three people are extremely lucky, when the Evil Spirit Knight kills others, he will still come here.”
Su Lu sat cross-legged, getting ready to cook some soft-food to feed these three to keep them alive.
They survived like this in the past half month, if they have to wait longer, Su Lu reckons he might have to get some intravenous nutrition.
On the eighteenth day, at twilight.
“Who’s there?”
Su Lu suddenly opened his eyes, looking in a certain direction in the forest.
“Someone there?”
Cheers rang out from the forest, a few young men and women ran over, “Guys, are you camping here?”
They were carrying hiking bags, wearing hats, and using trekking poles, looking like prepared adventurers.
But they all seemed very young, only sixteen or seventeen at most, a headache-inducing age. “Ordinary people? Ghosts!”
Su Lu cursed.
The outer area of the Silent Forest was vast, he had chosen a random place to settle down, not expecting to bump into others.
These three men and one woman are obviously ordinary people, they should be high school students from Charles City, the kind who heard some rumor and
came to explore.
Usually, they tend to get themselves killed.
In the present world of transcendent revival, this is even more the case.
“Hey, mate, I’m Bi Di, these are Sa Ha, Wa De, and Jenny! Are you also here to explore after hearing the Ghost House legend?”
A young man with an avant-garde vibe and a frosted hairstyle named Bi Di came up and greeted, offering his right hand, “But… We need to go further in still, right? To reach the Silent Forest?”
He saw the barbed wire fence not far from Su Lu’s tent.
Of course, Su Lu didn’t dare to get close to the Haunted Old House, let alone the Silent Forest. He chose to stay in the peripheral restricted area, waiting for the arrival of the Evil Spirit Knight.
Looking at Bi Di and the others, he said coldly, “It’s very dangerous here, if you don’t want to die, leave as soon as possible!”
“Mate, you don’t have to pretend, you’re here to explore like us, right?”
Bi Di’s hand stiffened in mid-air for a long time before he awkwardly withdrew it: “We have a bet with someone, we have to stay in the haunted house overnight…”
Su Lu didn’t want to say anything anymore.
Even he didn’t dare to say such things.
These teenagers, high on alcohol or something else, truly dared to do anything.
“Youth… What an impulsive and reckless age …” Su Lu shook his head: “I’m telling you very seriously, don’t go in, it’s very dangerous!” “Bi Di, don’t listen to him… Let’s go!”
A tall and muscular young white man in the team called out.
“Yeah, let’s go in… You see, this uncle has even prepared a path for us!” Another guy, Sa Ha, pointed to the hole that Su Lu had made in the barbed wire fence, meaning was obvious.
-If it’s dangerous, why are you camping here and even leaving a door open?
“Let’s go!”
A hint of anger flashed across Bi Di’s face, but seeing the obviously more than one tent and the shadow of a person lying inside, he chose not to conflict.
The other man was older than him, if they did not have the advantage in numbers, fighting would be a disadvantage.
Only the last girl, called Jenny, who seemed a bit scared after glancing at the dark forest behind the barbed wire fence, but seeing her boyfriend waving from inside, she had to bite the bullet and crawl through the barbed wire fence.
“Sigh…”
Su Lu sighed, considering whether to use spirit oppression to make these kids kneel and reflect.
Although it would reveal his transcendent power, at least he could save the lives of a few innocents.
But he would certainly be noticed and even entangled, which was a bit of a hassle. Would he have to modify each of their subconsciousness?
His skill was not good, and he might not be able to perfectly tamper with their memories.
Just then, Su Lu suddenly rose to his feet.
His inspiration extended, and it seemed he heard hoofbeats.
Clop! Clop!
This sound of hoofbeats was not in the real world, but in the Mental Realm!
An immense and terribly oppressive feeling was spreading from the Mental Realm.
Su Lu looked outside, seeing a dark mass seemed to cover the night sky, about to engulf him and his tent.
“Get up! Go in!”
Just as Bi Di and the others, who were about to venture into the Silent Forest, heard a roar in their ears.
They were nearly scared to the ground, then they saw two stupefied men carrying another man who seemed to have his limbs broken, rapidly crawling through the barbed wire fence and running towards the center of the Silent
Forest..
