I Became the King of Villains In the Game

Chapter 236 Looking for the way back

Chen Lun closed the booklet and remained silent for a long time.

He looked at the bonfire beside him in a daze, the orange fire reflected in his eyes.

"Philip..."

Chen Lun whispered the name.

He and Philip had never met each other, but they had received help from each other many times. It can be said that if it wasn't for that diary, he might have died in the prison of the Red Apple Church long ago.

"If you can, maybe you can really be friends, Philip."

Chen Lun said to himself.

From some fragmented information, he was able to roughly piece together Philip's "character sketch". This is a guy who doesn't like to follow the rules, and his life is full of cold humor and cynicism.

At the same time, he is also an unlucky "lucky guy".

Guided by a mysterious and powerful mentor, embark on the path of the extraordinary, fall in love with the cat god Maggie, and explore the ultimate mystery of the world... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a template for the protagonist.

But in the end, he didn't seem to be able to escape the control of fate.

Although such a person seems unreliable, as a friend, he must be infected by his cheerful mood.

No one likes a guy who is gloomy all the time.

"It is indeed as you said, a little regretful..."

Chen Lun sighed with emotion.

He looked at the booklet in his hand. This should be Philip's last message.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be placed in Arnold's hands and let him hand it over to himself. After all, this is the end of the fairyland, and it is the place where I will eventually reach according to the original exploration progress.

It was only because of Howard's sudden shot that an unknowable change occurred, which led to an accident and made him come here ahead of schedule.

However, Chen Lun hadn't found all the other cabins in the fairyland yet, and Philip's other messages were missing, and a lot of information was missing in the middle, so that Chen Lun was a little confused about the contents of the booklet.

But at least he knew a few things.

First of all, I can now be sure that I need to be promoted to the High Sequence and challenge my fate... that is to challenge Howard and kill him, so as to control my own destiny.

And this matter cannot be done by others.

'No wonder...Maggie told me that He couldn't help me too much...Maybe, this is a ritual? A ritual involving a high sequence of destiny pathways? '

Secondly, Howard and Philip were once good friends.

Together, they learn mysterious knowledge from a teacher named "Clough"... but this teacher seems to have malicious intentions and controls the fate of the two.

In order to get rid of their fate, the two of them challenged the teacher together...

'But Howard is alive! It is he who has been manipulating my fate behind the scenes... In this way, Philip and the others succeeded? No... Maggie said Philip had failed. '

Thinking of the contradiction here, Chen Lun frowned again.

"Perhaps, Philip failed, but Howard succeeded..."

His hand gripping the booklet was a little tense.

‘Philip disclosed the teacher’s information in the message, saying that he was once a god... What does this mean? God of fate? But why would you use the word 'was'? Can God still reverse the sequence...? This is unreasonable! '

Chen Lun only felt that his mind was like a paste, very chaotic.

A huge amount of information was scrambling in his mind, and it was impossible to make a clear line.

In addition to this information.

Chen Lun also noticed the information points of "Deep Sea", "Lady Sigh", "The End of Darkness", "Dream World" and "Spider Silk Without Boundaries" that Philip emphasized.

For the time being, he doesn't quite know what kind of truth is hidden behind the information.

However, under Philip's reminder, Chen Lun raised enough vigilance against the extraordinary power of the deep sea pathway.

‘The inexplicable sense of relief that appeared on my body after washing out the [fisherman] sub-profession may also be related to this... In the future, I will try to record as little extraordinary biological characteristics related to the deep sea as possible. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

'When there is a chance, the [Abyss Touch] characteristic must be removed from the body, so as not to leave any hidden dangers. '

Except leaving a message.

Philip was in the booklet, and left his last gift.

A high-sequence mysterious substance of the Fate faction——it was in the shape of an irregular sheet, the size of a finger, and it was stuck on the last page like a bookmark, and the color could not be distinguished.

It was a color beyond human cognition, and it couldn't be described in any words.

Chen Lun put it in the palm of his hand curiously, and after a moment of clues, he finally named this color "Destiny Color".

"Different from mid-sequence promotion, in addition to transcendental knowledge as a prerequisite, the sage ceremony also requires the use of high-sequence mysterious substances in the corresponding path..."

He put away this destiny high-sequence substance properly, and smiled lightly.

'Philip really left me a great gift... I won't have to worry about mysterious substances when I'm promoted to a high-sequence. '

In addition to this precious mysterious substance, Philip also left an experience note about [Animal Imitation].

After reading it, Chen Lun failed to improve the level of this skill, but it opened up a lot of horizons and inspired some of his skills development ideas.

After several hours of groping, Chen Lun suddenly realized something.

'Normal state. '

With some anticipation, he muttered in his heart and performed the transformation technique again.

Immediately, his skin was covered with a layer of pale armor, and his whole body became a white "monster".

But this time, the two white pythons on the shoulders changed dramatically.

They were divided into two, then into four, and finally became eight white pythons, floating behind Chen Lun like peacocks spreading their tails.

‘Sure enough, it’s feasible... In this way, the combat capability of the conventional state has been enhanced again! '

Chen Lun joyfully controlled the white python behind him.

But he quickly discovered a drawback, that is, his attention is limited and he cannot achieve micro-manipulation. You can simply let them stalk, defend and attack.

This is like the ten fingers of a human being. Although they are flexible, they cannot be used on the keyboard at the same time to type out two completely different novels.

It's not that they can't do it, but that the human brain can't.

'But even so, it is a good harvest. '

Chen Lun lifted the "normal state" with satisfaction and returned to his normal appearance.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the wooden house, but he did not follow Arnold's advice to rest. Instead, he started a carpet inspection in the wooden house, hoping to find some clues that would allow him to leave here.

After all, the current time is burning sanity points every minute and every second. Chen Lun can't waste it, and he can't lie down peacefully.

The furnishings in the wooden house are very simple, and there are no messy things.

In addition to furniture such as beds, tables, chairs and wardrobes, there are only some handmade daily necessities.

These things are basically made of wood and stones. Chen Lun guessed that Arnold probably picked them up outside and made them himself.

Although rough and simple, it is also practical.

After a while.

Chen Lun found a rather special item in a wooden barrel in a corner.

He took it out, his expression slightly startled.

This is a beautiful doll with white hair and a delicate and lovely face, but the whole is covered with dust, and it looks like it has been discarded here for a long time.

【Sundries-Girl Doll】

Item description: An ordinary toy, made by skilled craftsmen using wood and iron nails, and then painted and colored to present a cute girl doll image.

Seems to be derived from a girl who deeply misses her brother.

'Arnold's sister...? '

Chen Lun secretly guessed in his heart.

He turned the doll over, and there were a few small words engraved on the exposed back behind the doll's tutu suspender——

"Anna will always miss you."

Chen Lun thought for a while, put the doll back in its original place, and continued to grope in the room.

It took another half an hour, but he got nothing.

"Looks like I have to go out and have a look..."

Chen Lun secretly sighed.

Although Arnold emphasized that the dangers are lurking in the dark, he cannot just sit still.

So Chen Lun left the wooden house with a silver cane.

Take out a lantern from the blood poem ring, light it up, pull down the windproof glass cover, lock the copper buckle, and walk slowly into the darkness.

Just left not far away.

Slap!

Chen Lun felt that he had stepped on a sticky liquid under his feet, so he shone the lantern down. When he looked down, he found that the original muddy ground had turned into a black swamp.

Looking back, the wooden house and campfire had disappeared, covered by the surrounding darkness.

At this time, a strong wind suddenly came from my ears.

Chen Lun's spiritual intuition warned him, and he suddenly raised his silver cane.

when!

A huge force came from the cane, and Chen Lun took a few steps back uncontrollably, his jaw numb.

The black shadow in front of him flickered, and the scream of breaking wind continued to strike.

when! Dangdangdang...!

The impenetrable attack surrounded Chen Lun. He turned his walking stick into a silver umbrella and continued to block. There was no way to fight back for a while.

But taking this opportunity, Chen Lun used [Peeping Eye] to glimpse some information about the unknown enemy.

[Son of the Ancient God - Didak! 】

‘It’s this kind of creature again…? ! '

when! !

Chen Lun's heart skipped a beat, and he was interrupted by a ferocious vertical chop just as he was brewing a feeling of surprise.

In the process of successive retreats, the silver umbrella changed back to the form of a walking stick.

Enduring the numbness of his entire arm, Chen Lun threw out a "blue ink" incendiary bomb, and at the same time cast the magic "five senses".

boom!

The fire suddenly rose, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Chen Lun never thought that this incendiary bomb could easily burn the enemy to death. His purpose was to restore his vision and at the same time, he wanted to see the appearance of the enemy clearly.

After a specially made incendiary bomb, it only persisted for a few seconds in this darkness before being annihilated by an inexplicable force.

But in this short period of time, Chen Lun captured the appearance of the enemy with the help of firelight and the perception of "five senses".

It was a pale "insect man", about three meters tall, with two thick and barbed limbs standing on the ground, with huge and long arms, and the forelimbs were like the tibia of a praying mantis, forming two sharp and shiny sickles. shape.

Its head has two tentacles and six jet-black compound eyes.

'It's completely different from the Didak I met before. This one is obviously more inclined to the fighting type. It can bring me a strong sense of danger. It may be quite difficult to kill it... This is not an ordinary polluting creature! '

Chen Lun thought for a moment.

Surrounded by shadows, the spiritual intuition in Chen Lun's heart warned again, but this time it was stronger, and he could even see the scene where his body and head were separated.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Lun continued to throw several "blue ink" incendiary bombs, and immediately entered the "limit state" and retreated violently.

Pale Wing trembled at a high frequency, and returned in the direction he came and went, at an extremely fast speed.

boom!

The flames burned again, and Chen Lun felt his scalp go numb when he glanced at it in shock.

In the faint range illuminated by the fire, dozens of sons of the ancient god named "Didak" surrounded it, and in the depths where the light could not reach, there were countless black shadows.

The quantity is unknown.

They have different shapes, and there is no one that is exactly the same...

Some have beak-like long horns on their heads, like a halberd worm, some have giant pincer-like mouthparts on their upper bodies, soaring into the sky, and some have hemispherical armor wings with gorgeous patterns, which make people feel psychedelic when trembling... What's more, his whole body is covered with ferocious spikes like a moon shovel, and his muscles are knotted.

All Didak's "Bugmen" were pale, just like Chen Lun's current appearance.

But they didn't regard Chen Lun as "one of their own", but even more bloodthirsty and frenzied to hunt down Chen Lun.

'Every Didak's strength exceeds the level of ordinary [Sequence 5]... There are even a few of them that can bring me a very strong sense of danger, maybe they are already at a high Sequence level. '

Chen Lun flew forward without looking back, his heart beat faster and he was sweating profusely.

'This place... is horrible! '

He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a curse on himself, called "blasphemer" - it was the curse that was cast down when the joint bottle jug killed a Didak.

'It seems to make sense, why did they chase me like crazy... It was my hands that were stained with Didak's blood, which attracted them! '

Chen Lun looked awe-inspiring.

He felt the strong wind behind him, obviously his speed was not enough to shake them off.

Even, these children of the ancient gods are getting closer and closer!

His ears trembled slightly, and he used his sense of hearing to "see" a large group of ferocious "insect people" who were chasing after him less than a few meters away.

'wrong! Why haven't I seen the bonfire and log cabin after flying for so long? I clearly remember this direction! '

Chen Lun's face darkened.

At this critical moment, a figure with a lantern appeared in front of him.

Under the light of the lantern, the face of a white-haired young man was illuminated.

Arnold!

He raised the broken sword and waved it in Chen Lun's direction.

boom! !

A glaring orange-red iron juice spread like lava from the broken sword, pouring it into a huge red sword in an instant.

As soon as the scorching air wave blew, Chen Lun's forward inertia was instantly stopped, and at the same time, his breathing was stagnant, and his mouth and throat were extremely dry.

The dazzling light flickered.

At that moment, all the surrounding darkness was illuminated, revealing the endless plains...and the high rocky sky.

'This turned out to be... a cave? '

An absurd thought flashed in Chen Lun's mind, and his vision gradually became nothing but white.

Humming in both ears.

Like an asteroid exploding around him, infinite light and heat burst out.

I don't know how long it has been.

When sight and hearing slowly recovered, Chen Lun opened his eyes.

Arnold stood in front of him, showing a concerned expression.

"Jack, I told you, it's very dangerous in the dark..."

He thrust the broken sword behind his back, picked up a piece of black meat, and said with a smile:

"But it's okay, let's go back to eat barbecue."
