Chapter 140 Lanterns in the dark night

The night was closing, and Mu Ying gradually fell asleep.

Two night watchmen sat by the fire and talked in low voices.

When the time comes, wake up the second group of people and change the person on duty.

I don't know how many groups of people changed, but a lantern-like light source suddenly appeared in the surrounding dark woods, which was very conspicuous.

"What is that?" One of the night watchmen pointed at the woods and asked tremblingly.

The other person looked over and said, "I don't know."

"What should I do? Call someone?"

"It shakes and shakes, as if calling us to come over!"

"You're not so stupid, do you really dare to go?"

"How could it happen? Curiosity killed the cat. Let's just sit here and see what it plans to do. If it dares to get close, let's call someone immediately."

The two of them stared at the light source, not daring to make a mistake, but their eyes gradually became blurry, and they got up and walked there.

"Plop~"

"Plop~"

At the edge of the camp, in front of a simple protective fence made of tree branches, the two of them fell down.

"Hi~ It hurts so much!"

"Huh? How did we get here?"

"Don't look, there's something weird about that thing. Go back and call someone." He lowered his head and didn't dare to look outside. He grabbed his companion and wanted to run back.

His companion yelled at the top of his lungs, "If something happens——"

The people next to me were startled.

The man chuckled and said, "Hurry up."

When the sound sounded, Muying opened her eyes suddenly and quickly opened the tent door.

The night watchman is no longer at the fire!

She quickly got up and went out, and saw two people helping each other walking inside.

"What happened?"

"There was a lantern light over there, and we were mesmerized as we looked at it. If we hadn't stumbled on the branches outside, we would have followed the light to nowhere," the two said with lingering fears.

When sleeping in the wild, few people sleep very soundly. After that cry, most people came out.

But when they looked into the forest, it was completely dark with no lantern light.

"You were really there just now. Look, my knees were bruised." He was afraid that others wouldn't believe him, so he rolled up his trousers to prove himself.

It’s not that Muying thought they were deceitful, lantern-flaming, or tempting. She didn’t know if it was what she thought, but she wouldn’t be fooled by that thing after just a few glances. She had to see it with her own eyes to confirm.

She thought for a while, "That thing probably didn't dare to show up because there were so many of us. It's probably not very strong, otherwise it wouldn't have used such a trick to confuse people. Now everyone goes to sleep, and the night watchers will find that thing again."

If so, just call me and remember not to watch that thing at the same time."

That was all that could be done, everyone went back to rest one after another, and the next night watchman directly replaced the two frightened ones.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the night watchmen changed several shifts.

"It probably won't show up."

"I don't know what it is, it's so weird."

"Anyway, it can't be a good thing...eh? Look at that, does it look like the light of a lantern?"

The man pointed at the light ball in the forest and said hesitantly, as if calling him.

After saying that, he immediately shivered and said, "Don't look at it yet. I'll turn my back first and you can look at it again."

The other person did as he was told, "It seems so..."

The man stood up as he spoke. The man next to him grabbed his arm and dragged him to Muying's tent. Before he could call anyone, the tent door was opened.

Mu Ying got up when she heard the footsteps, "Come out?"

"Over there!" He quickly pointed over there.

Mu Ying's pupils shrank, "Will-o'-the-wisp, a level 4 miniature undead creature, is a fragile ball of light. From a distance, it looks like a shaking lantern. It can change color at will or extinguish itself. When it lights up, it brings hope to people.

, suggesting that the other party follow it to a safe place. Creatures with a lower level than them will be directly lost in their minds, follow it to dangerous places, let the will-o'-wisps feast on it in the pain of death, and occasionally cooperate with other evil creatures, resulting in

A symbiotic relationship.”

It's really a will-o'-the-wisp, but this one is 2 levels higher than the last one. Only in this way can it confuse people whose level is lower than it, instead of just affecting them in a roundabout way like last time.

"You guys stay here, I'll go and meet it." She was of a higher level than this will-o'-the-wisp, so there was no need to worry about losing her mind. Others were in more danger.

When she looked at the will-o'-the-wisp, she not only explored its information, but also saw a faint black aura on it.

So even though she knew it was not that easy to deal with, Mu Ying still passed by, because facing such a creature that was rejected by nature, she had nature to protect her, and it itself was weak, but because it was an energy body, it was fast and had purely physical attacks.

It's hard to hurt it.

Muying pretended to be confused and followed it step by step into the woods.

She certainly didn't want to follow the will-o'-the-wisp to see what the so-called dangerous place was, or whether it had other collaborators. That was not in line with her usual steady style.

So not long after walking, Muying's speed became slower and slower.

The will-o'-the-wisp approached from time to time to urge. Every time it urged, Muying would take a few steps quickly, but soon slowed down again.

It's not enough, it would be better if it was closer, even closer.

She waited for the opportunity, moving so slowly that she would stop for a few steps. Only when the will-o'-the-wisp got closer did she take a few more steps.

Gradually, Will-o'-the-Wisp also became reassured about this particularly slow prey, and every time he urged her, he got closer and closer.

This time, Muying stopped again, and the will-o'-the-wisp swayed closer to her to urge her.

Only this time, the prey did not speed up, and the black scythe came with a cold wind, cutting the will-o'-the-wisp in half.

The warm color of the flame changed several times, and suddenly there was a burst of unknown fire. The will-o'-the-wisp inside became smaller and smaller, and disappeared in a few seconds.

Some fine colorful fluorescent dust fell, which must have been dropped by the will-o'-the-wisp. Muying patted his waist, and a piece of paper appeared in his hand. He caught all the dust on the paper, folded it and sealed it.

Open the Player's Handbook.

[You killed the will-o'-the-wisp x1, gained 10 professional experience, killing experience x20, shimmering dust x1]

Sure enough, killing such a creature that is rejected by nature can not only gain killing experience, but also professional experience. The shimmering dust is the dust she caught.

[Glimmer Dust: The ashes left after the death of the will-o'-the-wisp. It is a good dye and can be made into any color]

Muying:……

It seems useless, but you can consider researching the effect of adding hair dye potion to get a few more colors.

However, the hair dye potion cannot be eaten, drunk, or used against enemies. Spending time studying this now is a bit putting the cart before the horse.

Reality is not an emerald world. Time is precious and must be used wisely.
