The heroine is so cute, she quickly puts on her clothes and lies down

Time passes minute by minute.

Zhu Yue did not just waste time in vain.

She took out a book from the space, lit four candles, sat beside the candlelight, and read the book while keeping part of her mind on the outside world.

Surprisingly, it was a peaceful night.

Success came to the seventh day.

Zhu Yue opened the tent and was about to walk out, but she found that the touch under her feet was not right.

She looked down and saw the dead branches under her feet.

Follow the dead branches forward, and you will find a few dead branches placed every few steps.

Zhu Yue was sure that these were not there last night.

There was no way she would be so careless as not to notice such an obvious clue.

There were no traces of human footprints around the dead branches.

The ground is as smooth as new, just like these dead branches that appeared naturally.

However, if it appeared naturally, how could it start so accurately in front of her tent?

Zhu Yue felt a chill in his heart.

These dead branches are just like the sudden appearance of the herd of toads last night; their existence is not in line with common sense.

She did not follow the dead branches forward, but stayed where she was for the time being.

He waved his hand and put all the tents behind him into the space.

Zhu Yue realized that the chill in his heart from facing Kuzhi was even greater than that night when he faced the toad, so he did not dare to be careless.

She took out the breast-protecting mirror and hung it on her chest, and inserted the peach wood sword into her hair as a hairpin.

I also put a stack of amulets in my pocket.

The peach wood sword was something she exchanged with a monk in her previous life. It was the most powerful weapon Zhu Yue had in her hand to deal with ghosts and monsters, without a doubt, even more powerful than the lightning talisman.

After all, the lightning talisman can only be used once.

People are afraid of ghosts because they cannot handle them.

They hurt humans wantonly, and humans are unable to hurt them in return.

The peach wood sword can break this. It can touch the soul and cause real wounds to the soul, and these wounds cannot be healed easily.

The sword itself is as long as an arm, and can be transformed into the size of a thumb, or even the size of a hairpin and placed on the head. It will not attract any attention, and can be taken down and used against the enemy at the first moment of danger.

The heart-protecting mirror is a pendant in the shape of a small round wooden mirror. It will automatically protect its owner when ghosts and monsters want to harm it. Unlike the peach wood sword which is mainly used for killing and attacking, this is a protective magic weapon.

He also grabbed a few talismans such as peace talismans and lightning talismans and put them in his pocket.

Zhu Yue's sense of security increased greatly.

She prepared these because she thought of the tips of the Death Game System on her first day here.

[Current instance: Weird Wilderness.]

Thinking of this, she glanced at the game panel that had been silent under her system coverage.

[Current number of survivors: 47|100]

[Main quest: Please survive in the dungeon for fifteen days.]

It's only the seventh day, not even halfway through. Have so many people died already?

Zhu Yue thought about the crises she had encountered since the beginning of the dungeon: extreme cold, extreme heat, wandering unknown murderers, dangerous nights, inexplicably appearing toads, and...

Assuming the worst case scenario, the murderer she didn't encounter was encountered by other players, then it would not be surprising that so many players died.

I thought a lot, but in reality, not even a minute had passed.

Zhu Yue knitted her brows together and put on layer after layer of protective clothing.

Start walking forward following the dead branches.

The path along which the dead branches spread was longer than Zhu Yue had expected.

At least she walked for an hour and still didn't see the end.

After walking for another hour, Zhu Yue finally saw something different.

She had never seen such a vast wilderness.

To the naked eye, it's endless darkness.

The land was dull and yellow, and she doubted whether crops could grow on such land.

At the end of the dead branches was another row of stone houses.

Zhu Yue's eyes froze slightly and his pupils contracted.

It wasn't just because she had seen this scene on the first day.

Also because she had noticed that the windows of the stone house were all open.

Even from a distance, Zhu Yue saw human figures in several windows.

She didn't stay there for long.

She suspected that when she saw the figure at the window, the other person also noticed her at the same time.

"Who are you, little girl?"

Before approaching, Zhu Yue took off his outer protective suit and only wore his robes.

Her hair was tied up in a tight bun, and her cheeks were childish, so she looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

No one would be too defensive against such a child.

The owner of the house is no exception.

Zhu Yue looked at the woman who was asking the question, and her husband behind her.

"I came here with my mother and brother, but then we got separated and I couldn't find them. Auntie, where is this place?"

When the woman in the red apron heard her words, pity appeared in her eyes.

"Little girl, why did you come to the Death Wilderness? People who come here can't get out again. It's unlikely that you will find your mother and brother. The wilderness will refresh every twelve hours and will no longer stay in the original place. My husband and I can only be together after we find the props to bind ourselves. You came here without even knowing the Death Wilderness..."

Zhu Yue's eyes turned red, "Will I never see my mother and brother again?"

The woman's husband said, "It's not impossible. As long as you can find the center of the wilderness and destroy or take away the center, the barrier of the Death Wilderness will disappear, and all those who are wandering in the wilderness and struggling to survive will be freed."

The woman hit her husband and said, "Husband, this is just a child. How can it possibly find the center of the earth? People like us who have been trying to survive for many years cannot even find the center of the earth. Child..."

The woman looked at Zhu Yue gently and said, "You must have been hungry for a long time. Do you want to come to my house and eat something?"

Zhu Yue had just finished eating and was not hungry at all.

But she still wanted to continue collecting information, such as the wilderness information casually revealed by the woman and her husband before. Zhu Yue intuitively felt that these must be related to the mission.

She nodded timidly, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

The woman's face became softer.

"Of course, husband, you go and start the fire."

She followed the woman into their home, the first in a row of stone houses.

After coming in, Zhu Yue looked around inconspicuously.

It was an unexpected yet not so unexpected discovery. This place was exactly the same as the room she and Li Jian discovered on the first day.

Even the bowl of milk and the warm biscuits on the stone table were placed in such a similar position.

"Have some hot milk first."

As if sensing Zhu Yue's gaze, the woman walked to the stone table, took out a ceramic bowl, poured out a bowl of milk, and placed it in front of Zhu Yue.

"Thank you, I'm thirsty."

Last time, Zhao Shi and the others drank the milk, but Zhu Yue didn't. This time, facing the owner of the stone house who doesn't know good from evil and whose background is unknown to her, she will not drink it even more.

"It's delicious."
