Chapter 668 Copycat
Although he didn't understand why Lin Yu suddenly asked him for the statue, Li Nian handed the mermaid statue to him out of trust in Lin Yu.
"You actually took something from me," Li Nian said with emotion, "That's incredible, sister. Once something is in my hands, I rarely take it out."
Lin Yu took the mermaid statue, and a prompt appeared in front of him.
[Obtained the item Siren's Blessing! ]
Lin Yu looked at the blood-written prompt and replied, "You don't have to transfer the ownership to me. I don't know how to use this thing - I just want to help you 'reset' it."
Having said that, Lin Yu then took out the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch].
The pointer moved, mist emerged, and the dim mermaid statue began to emit light again.
Lin Yu returned it to Li Nian, and in his mind, changed the ownership of this [prop] back to Li Nian.
Li Nian was a little surprised when she got the statue. She didn't know whether it was because Lin Yu immediately returned the thing to her or because the [Siren's Blessing] could be used again.
Li Nian held it in his palm again, and the ethereal mermaid singing sounded again. Then the invisible barrier was propped up along with the singing, and the surrounding spiders and spider silk were repelled once again!
"Oh!"
Those spider monsters once again lay unwillingly on the barrier, unable to advance an inch.
“Wow—I’m saved!”
Seagull looked at this scene and said excitedly: "You guys actually have a refresh ball."
Li Nian also looked at the pocket watch in Lin Yu's hand and exclaimed in amazement: "Hey, this is really a good thing."
Gao Shan warned, "Be careful, Ms. Yao... Remember to check if your [item] is still there before leaving the [copy]."
Li Nian looked at Gao Shan: "Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk like that? Why are you provoking that guy from 'Order'?"
"How could I possibly steal from this beautiful sister? I only steal from people I hate."
As Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu also said seriously: "Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful."
Then, he really pretended to be on guard and put the pocket watch away again.
"I'm so sad," Li Nian also cooperated with Lin Yu, saying exaggeratedly and resentfully, "Sure enough, the prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain."
However, the other three people did not expect that these two people had known each other for a long time and were performing a double act there.
Gao Shan said seriously, "The wind determines the direction of a tree, and one's own path is determined by oneself. If you find it uncomfortable to be suspected, try stealing less of other people's [props] in the future, 'Master Thief'."
Li Nian looked at Gao Shan and curled his lips. "You're trying to persuade people to be good... Why are you suddenly lecturing me? This is a 'Death Game', not playing house!"
Gao Shan frowned slightly, but seemed to be concerned that they were still cooperating, so he did not further argue with Li Nian, a member of the "Free Alliance", about these ideological differences.
Seagull was more open-minded: "Ah, there's no need to say all that—besides, we still rely on their [props]."
After a brief interlude, both sides were on their way again.
However, the invisible gap between the team, which was originally somewhat suspicious of each other, became even more obvious.
Lin Yu mixed in the team and didn't care about these things.
After all, it would be enough as long as this trio doesn't directly turn against Li Nian and fight with him.
And because they roughly knew the upper limit of [Siren's Blessing], the progress of everyone's journey was invisibly accelerated a lot.
Gao Shan led the way in front, and Li Nian was protected in the middle - if there were too many spiders and spider silks, or if there were fallen rocks blocking the road and making it difficult to move forward, then the seagulls and snowy owls would clear the road.
The people had a clear division of labor, and the number of spider silk and spiders became sparser as they went further out, so they soon arrived near their destination!
Lin Yu looked at the continuous steep mountains and small peaks standing one after another near the destination and spoke out.
"No wonder there are bandit strongholds here. If I were a bandit, I would also choose to set up my stronghold here."
As he spoke, Gao Shan pointed to a peak ahead and said, "That's the village we first encountered. There's a fork in the road at the entrance. One side leads to the main road, and the other side leads to a dilapidated Taoist temple."
"Yes, I recognized it when I got here. It is indeed over there."
"Although I only saw it from afar at the time, I think that must be the Taoist temple you mentioned. After all, it's very remarkable at first glance, and the surrounding scenery is completely different from the barren mountains around it. It's just that because the letter mentioned the escort team, we were afraid of missing the best time for the escort team to pass by, so we didn't go to explore the Taoist temple," Snow Owl said. "I didn't expect that there was also a key item hidden there."
Compared to the trio of Charmander, Squirtle, and Deadshot, this trio is not only stronger in strength, but also better in finding their way.
In the entire team, Seagull was the only one who didn't know the way - Gaoshan was able to lead everyone directly to the correct destination in the mountains which were covered with spider silk and spiders to the point where the road was almost invisible.
Along the way, although Captain Gaoshan would stop to identify the direction, he never took the wrong path and every route he chose was completely correct.
Lin Yu once wondered what kind of [props] he used to achieve this.
Following the path indicated by Gao Shan again, the three of them headed towards the small hilltop - soon, they arrived near the village.
Compared with the settlement buildings in Chenjiabao, the architectural style of this mountain village is obviously much wilder.
Although it is also a stone building, almost all the living areas in this village are built against the mountain and expand inward based on natural caves. Just a door and a wall are built on the outside.
The outer wall is also very irregular, with signs of multiple repairs.
At the same time, Lin Yu also understood why these two "Night Watchmen" and a "Order" member would rather increase the difficulty of passing the level than cooperate with this group of bandits.
Because within the walls of the village and between the stones, there are a large number of human bones piled up.
Bones discarded along the wall also piled up into small hills.
The threat and harm these bandits entrenched here pose to the surrounding villages, mountain people, and passing caravans is no less than that posed by the monsters in the mountains.
However, they have now received their retribution - in front of the crudely made stone gate at the main entrance of the village, three fresh corpses were hanging at the door, and more corpses were piled below.
Judging from the attire of the corpse...
These should be the former owners of this mountain stronghold and the bandits who ruled the mountain.
