The Little King Next Door

Sitting on the boat, Wang Ye listened to a sum of experience points arrive in the account, and also harvested the power of karma several times one after another, feeling very happy.

It's just that the experience value of these tasks is not high. Even if he bought knowledge books, pens, ink and paper for the people of Haigou Village yesterday, he only rewarded [-] points.

Five hundred points seemed a lot to him before, but knowing that there are missions that can reward [-] or even [-] points at once, he...

[Congratulations to the player next door Xiao Wang for letting the soul of the old pirate rest in peace, and getting the buff effect "Thanks to the ghost old pirate".This gratitude can allow players to automatically increase their favorability by 5 points when facing ghosts in the future. 】

Hey? !Wang Ye suddenly regained his spirits.

There is such a benefit?

5-point favorability is not high, but when everyone is zero and only you are 5-point, or when everyone else is negative and only you are positive, this favorability is very valuable.

This is a good thing. Together with his previous life, this is the first time he has received such a buff.

He knew that there were undead magic and ghosts in this world, but these basically only appeared in dungeons in his previous life. He didn't expect to meet ghosts in the Novice Village.

Unexpectedly, the old pirate turned into a ghost before he died.And it's on Seagrass Island?

As long as Wang Ye thought of a ghost staring at him in the rented house where he was staying, he felt uncomfortable all over.

The power of karma also has the ability to deal with ghosts and undead spells, but it cannot be opened until the fifteenth level.

By the way, Wood's eyes seem to be able to see those ghosts.

Wang Ye hurriedly asked Lei Mu: "Brother, have you found any ghosts around us?"

Lei Mu frowned, looked around deliberately, and then replied: "No."

Wang Ye asked again: "What about before? In our rented house?"

Lei Mu said with certainty: "No. If there is such a thing, I will definitely perceive it. What? Did you see a ghost?"

Lei Mu didn't need to read the word, but changed the word perception.

"No, I'm just suspicious." Wang Ye was relieved. It seemed that even if the old pirate really turned into a ghost, he didn't stay by their side.

But why would he be thanked by the ghostly old pirate?

Could it be because he gave three hundred gold coins to his former stepson?The reason for helping them heal their injuries?

But would the old pirate be someone who cared so much about his stepson?

Wang Ye didn't know that just after he and Lei Mu left the landlord's two brothers' home, the two brothers felt that the old pirate was still thinking about them before he died, and even sent them a huge sum of money, using the wood at home to pay them. He carved a tablet, and placed the old pirate's tablet with the tablets of their mother and biological father, and made offerings to the old pirate separately, and sacrificed for a while.

And the old pirate did not die completely, he turned into a ghost, but he didn't have full consciousness, only endless resentment and dissatisfaction, like most of the ghosts who didn't die cleanly, he wandered around and couldn't leave the place of death too far.

The ghosts will eat each other, which can make them powerful, but also make them inherit more pain.

After the old pirate's consciousness was devoured several times, not only did he not wake up, but he became more violent, and his whole soul was attacked by resentment and pain.

Such an old pirate is actually about to disappear, and he will mutate into another existence, resenting the undead.

Resentful undead do not have their own independent consciousness, only pain, hatred, anger and other extremely strong negative emotions, just like the virus in the ghost world.

Just when his independent consciousness was about to disappear, the old pirate suddenly felt someone calling him, a sacrificial energy poured into his soul sea, and that pure energy full of kindness and gratitude made him wake up instantly.

Through the sacrifice, the old pirate heard the words of gratitude from the pair of brothers, and also learned why the pair of brothers sacrificed to him suddenly.

Although the old pirate didn't quite understand how the property he told Zhang Hui fell into the hands of Wang Ye and Lei Mu, but the other party did not take all his property, and chose to give part of it to his former stepson, so that his The stepsons thanked him, offered sacrifices to him, and even set up a memorial tablet for him.

The old pirate's soul calmed down. He didn't feel that his stepson were snobbish. When he was taken away, his two stepson were still very young, and his stepfather didn't show much affection to the two stepson. He took advantage of them and their mother. Mostly, he even wanted to kill them at the time.

Recalling his whole life, the old pirate felt that he was really an asshole. He had hardly done anything wrong to anyone, even Zhang Hui. Tell him the whereabouts of your treasure.

He should disappear, what's the point of living like this?

The old pirate looked at the crazy and painful ghosts around him, let go of his last obsession, and transformed his soul into the energy of heaven and earth, completely liberated.And part of the purest energy transformed from his soul became [Thanks to the ghost old pirate], and under the guidance of the rules of this world, he ran towards Wang Ye.

By the way, Karma Roll.

Wang Ye opened the karma scroll, checked the karma between him and the landlord brother, and saw the words that the landlord brother sacrificed to the old pirate, and the source of the causal line he received from the "ghost old pirate" came from here.

It's a pity that his level is not high now, and he can't check the whole thing clearly from the causal volume, and can only make rough guesses from a few important clues.

Lei Mu didn't think that Ye Zi would be inexplicably suspicious, which made him use eye skills to scan his surroundings from time to time after landing.

The two first followed the boat back to Trench Island.

Wang Ye came back to get one thing, that water-gathering bead.

The village chief took Yan Yaoshi to the cliff cave to see the medicinal mud. After seeing the medicinal mud, he asked young hunters such as Hai Yaozu and Hai Chao to take Yan Yaoshi into the mountain to check the growth of the medicinal herbs.

After all, the village head was too old to follow into the mountain, and the village head still wanted to accompany Wang Ye and Lei Mu.Although Yan Yaoshi is good, Wang Ye and Wang Ye are most grateful to their village. All the good changes in their village are brought about by these two people, even Yan Yaoshi.Not to mention that Wang Ye also helped their village survive several crises that might destroy the village.

"Grandpa the village chief, we want to borrow a boat from you to report to Prisoner Island. We'll do it by the way, so you don't have to go. I'm not sure if I can return the boat to you. See you on the island."

"The boat is fine. I'll pick the best one for you later. But... are you going to the prisoner's island? In fact, we should go." The village chief said.

Wang Ye waved his hand: "Don't go, I don't know what's going on with Prisoners Island yet. What if you go there and get infected with parasites? Don't go there if you have nothing to do in the future, stay away from there. In addition, it is best to close the wall of your village in the future. Once it is built, it can be used to resist if something happens. It would be better if an escape route can be arranged, and if something happens, we can take the villagers to escape."

The village chief opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Wang Ye said goodbye to the village chief.

The village chief seemed to have made a decision, gritted his teeth, and grabbed Wang Ye's arm: "Little Yezi, you and your brother will come with me first."

Wang Ye was puzzled: "Where are you going?"

"You'll know as soon as you come with me." The village head was mysterious, and no one else took it with him.

The village head took Wang Ye and Lei Mu into the Huoyao Valley selected by the village, but instead of going to a crowded place, he deliberately avoided the villagers who were working, and took the two of them to the end of the valley by a small path.

Holding a small lamp, the village head pushed aside the hanging tree roots, and dwarfed into the big hole under the tree roots.

This big tree grows very distinctively. Half of its roots are rooted in the soil, and the other half are wrapped around a huge stump.

This tree stump may have been corroded all the year round, or it may be an animal nest here. There is a large hole with a diameter of one meter near the root.

But this big hole is very hidden, all covered by the tree roots hanging down from above.

If the village head hadn't led the two of them here, even if they passed by here, they wouldn't have found this tree hole.

There is a world inside the tree hole. After entering, there is a passage with a height of no more than 1.2 meters leading to an unknown location.

The village chief knelt on the ground and crawled forward, turning his head and whispering for them to follow.

Wang Ye and Lei Mu looked at each other, Wang Ye got into the tree hole without hesitation, the height inside was just right for him.

It was more difficult for Lei Mu to walk, and he also had to crawl.

Fortunately, this narrow and low passage is not very long. After about 50 meters, you can stand up and walk upright.

Wang Ye touched the wall and noticed that they should be walking in the crevice of the rock.

And the rocks are very wet to the touch. They should be walking towards the sea?

Passing through a gap passageway of about 300 meters, a cave with a height of more than [-] meters and an area that can accommodate a dozen people appeared in front of it.

The village chief patted the soil on his knee with one hand, held a small lamp in the other, and turned to introduce to the two: "This is the biggest secret of our island. Go down this cave, and you will see a waterway , but that waterway is shallow enough to pass without boats."

Wang Ye's heart moved: "Where does that waterway lead to?"

The village chief raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side, "Prisoner Island."

Wang Ye and Lei Mu were stunned.

The village chief smiled bitterly: "I didn't intend to hide it from you when I brought you here. In fact, my grandfather escaped through this passage."

The village chief told a little story to the two of them.

His grandfather was not an islander born and raised on Trench Island, but a prisoner on Prisoner Island. He accidentally fell into a deep cave group while digging a hole to escape. He walked in that cave group for a long time. When he thought he would be lost underground forever, he actually came out of the hole.

After he came out, he thought he was still on Prisoner Island, and carefully hid for several days, and then found Trench Islanders. After a few days of confirmation, he found that he had escaped from Prisoner Island, and was immediately ecstatic.

"My grandfather pretended to be a drifter and asked the village to take him in. Later, he married my grandmother and settled down on the island."

The village head suddenly sighed: "You must be wondering why my grandfather didn't choose to stay away from the prisoner's island. Isn't he afraid of being discovered by the guards of the prisoner's island?"

"You also have this question." Wang Ye said with a smile.

The village head nodded: "Yes, I also have this question. It wasn't until my father was about to see Grandpa Sea God that he told me the secret that my grandfather told him."

Wang Ye narrowed his eyes: "Grandpa Village Chief, are you planning to tell my brother and me the secrets of your family?"

The village chief sat down on a rock, looking a little tired and helpless, "Yes. But I have thought it through. I plan to tell you this secret, not only because I am grateful to you, but also because I think you have mastered this secret. Secret abilities."

Wang Ye was completely interested: "Tell me about it. If it is beneficial, my brother and I will not monopolize it."

The village head laughed, but still waved his hand: "If it's really good, you should keep it and don't give it to us. I'm afraid that our village's fortune is poor, and we can't afford such a treasure."

Wang Ye suddenly asked: "Is it a gold mine?"

The village head froze for a moment, then pointed to the depths of the dark cave: "My grandfather told my father that after he fell into the underground karst caves and was running around, he came across a big golden cave. The caves are extremely dark, but there is a large luminous stone in the middle of the cave, and the light from the large stone illuminates the entire cave."

"Grandfather used many words to describe the golden light and beauty of that cave. He was sure that it was a gold mine that could produce pure gold with almost no refining. He also said that he survived because there was a big glowing stone. The depression, there is a transparent liquid in the depression, he was so thirsty at the time, as if he was bewitched, he drank that liquid. After drinking, until he escaped from the cave group, he did not feel hunger and thirst again."

The village chief recalled: "My grandfather was always in good health. He lived until he was 93 years old and had no illness before he died. He told my father that it was because of the liquid. He also wanted my father and me They all went to drink that liquid, but he went to look for it later, but found that he couldn’t find that place no matter what. He was afraid of getting lost in the caves, so he didn’t dare to go deep, and after looking for it a few times, he never went there again.”

The village chief showed a weary look again, this time with a little more confusion: "My father told me that my grandfather didn't find the golden cave, but found a very strange cave. It was because of that cave that my grandfather discovered I no longer dared to go deep into the cave group to explore, and later blocked the narrowest part of the passage.”

Wang Ye felt something in his heart: "What did he find?"

The village chief looked at the two of them. The dim light made his face look a little strange: "You should have guessed it."

Wang Ye: "Parasite eggs."

"It should be." The village chief said with bitterness on his face, "My grandfather didn't say much to my father about this passage, and he didn't say the word parasite, he only said that there are devils and devils in the underground cave on Prisoner Island He also said that the gold was the devil's means of attracting food. He said he saw several huge salamander carcasses, all of which were devil's eggs."

The village chief wiped his face, "I was in my twenties at the time, but I was still frightened by the story my father told. At that time, I really thought there was a devil under the prisoner's island. Until a long time later, when the village encountered difficulties, I thought of it." The father's story, thinking of the gold mine in the cave, found it here, and wanted to enter the opposite island. But..."

The village elder blushed, but the light was dim, and no one paid attention: "I was scared shortly after I came in, and I came back after encountering the blocked passage. After that, I didn't come here much, until You show up, Little Leaf found the parasite."

The village chief sighed: "At first I didn't think that the parasites were related to the deviled eggs my grandfather saw, but then Xiao Ye said that these parasites probably came from Prisoner Island, and I thought of my grandfather's story."

[Mission announcement: The head of Haigou Village tells the story of his ancestors, hoping that the player next door Xiao Wang can find and find out for him whether the devil eggs in the underground caves of Prisoner Island are related to parasites.After the task is completed, reward [-] experience points.May I ask if Xiao Wang, the player next door, accepts this task? 】

[Mission release: The head of Haigou Village hopes that Xiao Wang next door will carefully explore those devil eggs and eliminate them, so as not to let these devil eggs harm the islanders of Haigou Island.According to the completion of the task, reward [-] to [-] experience points. 】

There is a maximum of [-] experience points?This is almost equivalent to the dungeon reward.

Wang Ye felt that although he hadn't entered the dungeon now, he might have started the dungeon mission.

At the same time, such a high reward also shows that this task is not easy to do, at least for him now, it is not so easy to complete.

But Wang Ye decided to take these two tasks. Anyway, he must enter the cave group, and it would be a waste not to take these two tasks.

Wang Ye looked at Lei Mu and asked him: "How, shall we go this way to explore the cave group, or take a boat to Prisoner Island and enter through the main entrance?"

Lei Mu just looked into the little guy's eyes and knew that he wanted to break into this underground passage.

"Village chief, you said that the passage to the underground karst caves of Prisoner Island was blocked by your grandfather?" Lei Mu asked.

The village chief nodded: "That's right, I saw it, and I can take you there. In fact, just follow this road, there is no fork in the way."

Both Wang Ye and Lei Mu felt the village head's fear of this passage, and Wang Ye simply said: "Village head, since there is no fork in the road, I don't need you to lead the way. You can go back first. If someone asks, you can say that we have passed the road." Leave by boat."

The village chief told his biggest secret, and at the end he became worried about the two of them: "Are you really going to take this passage? The passage has been blocked for decades, and no one knows what will be behind the passage after it is opened." , if there are a lot of parasites waiting there..."

"No." Wang Ye said with certainty: "Parasites need a lot of energy to hatch, and they need parasites even more. They don't have the ability to run far on their own. You can see that the parasites are still accumulating strength just by looking at the calmness of Prisoner Island. Hibernating. And the vast majority of parasites hate cold environments, as long as possible, they will not drill into wet and cold underwater passages."

The village head only thought that Wang Ye knew a lot about parasites, so he was much more at ease after hearing this.

"I told you about the passage and the underground cave. It's actually my own selfishness. I don't covet the gold mine. The medicine mud cave we found on our island is enough for us to digest. What I'm worried about is the devil's egg in my grandfather's mouth. But this passage is too important, and I don’t feel at ease telling others..."

"Grandpa Village Chief, we understand that you told us this secret because you think we can deal with the danger here, and you also hope that we will be lucky enough to discover that gold mine." Wang Ye understood.

The village chief smiled gratifiedly.Yes, that's what he meant.

"Do you want to make some preparations? For example, torches and food." The village chief asked with concern.

Lei Mu silently took out a torch and lit it with secret techniques.

Wang Ye told the village chief not to worry, saying that they were all ready.

The village head opened his mouth wide to look at the two of them, but he still told them to be careful before leaving with the small lamp.

Wang Ye and Lei Mu looked at each other and smiled.

"I really didn't expect such luck." Wang Ye sighed.

"You think it's luck?" Lei Mu held the torch and looked into the depths of the darkness.

Wang Yeyuan jumped up and down: "Why is it not luck? If the village chief didn't tell us that there is this passage, we would have to row across the said super-dangerous trench first, and after passing that trench, we would have to deal with the guards , and finally we have to find a way to sneak into the island. But now, we can directly walk into the prisoner island from this passage."

"It's the kind that walks into underground caves, and if you get lost, you can't get out." Lei Mu reminded.

Wang Ye held Lei Mu's hand and said confidently, "Do you think we won't be able to get out?"

No one knew how happy Wang Ye was in his mood at this time!

The thing he was looking for was in the karst caves under Prisoner Island, including the thousand-year-old stalactite that turned polywater beads into spirit water beads. He was sure that there was also the transparent liquid that the village chief's grandfather once drank. Nine achievements are.

This is the place he decided to play in the dungeon in his previous life.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to sneak into the prisoner's island, and how to find the passage into the underground caves, but now that the village chief pointed out the underground passage, he didn't have to bother so much.

Does this count as inadvertently inserting willows and willows?

Who would have thought that the village chief's grandfather could grasp such a secret and tell him the secret?

As for getting lost?

Don't be afraid, he still remembers some maps of the underground caves. Even if he doesn't remember some places clearly, he can still remember some special places.

As long as he can find one of them, he can follow the map and find the target.

Wang Ye was so happy that he jumped up and down twice.

Lei Mu looked sideways: Why is this little guy so excited?Just love adventure?Or... like the gold mine you might get?

On Haigou Island, Yaoshi Yan didn't see Wang Ye and Lei Mu when he came back, and asked them where they were going.

The village chief said that the two had left Trench Island and went to do their own business. The return date was uncertain, but they would definitely come back.

Although it was a pity that Yan Yaoshi was unable to say goodbye to Wang Ye, they were already used to gathering and parting, and it would be good for them as long as they had the opportunity to meet in the future.

At the same time, Wang Ye and Lei Mu had already opened up the narrowest place blocked by the village chief's grandfather, and saw the narrow channel that was flooded.

Wang Ye touched the rock wall with his hand, with a strange expression on his face.

"how?"

"Mumu, do you believe it, what we are walking now is not an underground passage under the sea, but... a huge bone."

Lei Mu was surprised, "Bones?"

"Yes." In order to ensure the correctness, Wang Ye also used the identification technique.

The identification technique told him that the passage they are walking now is actually a bone of an ancient giant sea beast.

Lei Mu couldn't believe it: "The distance between Trench Island and Prisoner Island is more than 100 meters, right? Doesn't that mean that this bone is 30 meters long?"

Wang Ye: "This is not impossible in ancient times, and there is an unfathomable trench between Trench Island and Prisoner Island. It is not surprising that there will be any huge creatures in this trench. But the bones are so long and thick. , but it is hollow, which means that the ancient monster may have been huge in size, but it was not a deep-sea creature."

Lei Mu didn't dare to say he understood the ocean: "I heard that the mount of the king of the sea people is a huge ocean beast, and it looks like an island when it emerges from the water."

"Maybe they are the same kind or close relatives of the owner of this bone."

"Don't you think it's weird that a giant bone happens to run through the strait between the two islands, forming a natural passage."

"It's very weird, so we have to investigate it even more."

The two walked in the giant bone passage, talking and laughing like playing, and made various speculations about the formation of this giant bone passage.

Along the way, except for the darkness and not easy to walk, there was no danger.

There are living creatures in the waterway up to the knee, but not many, and the lethality is not strong.

"We should have passed the trench between Trench Island and Prisoner Island by now." Wang Ye touched the rock wall in front and judged the texture of the rock wall.

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Ye received three system notifications in a row.
