Zombie's travel diary

Chapter 305 Gorgeous Stone Pile

Around, endless darkness.

A strange sound resounded in an instant, like the roar of a monster, which made one's heart palpitate.

Link was sweating profusely, fiddling with his communicator in a hurry.

The next moment, the light of the communicator turned on, dispelling a small piece of darkness around.

Although the light was very weak, it was enough for Link to see what was in front of him clearly.

"The fire has disappeared..."

Link looked at the place where the fire had just burned.

It was empty there, not even a trace of ashes left.

Disappeared together with the two shadow claws just now.

Link took a look around with the light, and after confirming that the claws had really disappeared, he sat down on the ground.

It can now be confirmed that the role of Shadow Claw is to extinguish the fire, or to take it away.

After all, the fire just now didn't even have any remaining fuel left, so wasn't it just taken away?
"Fortunately, the rock dragon rat has been on guard."

Link breathed a sigh of relief.

The timing of the Talon's appearance was extremely insidious, just when he had just passed out and his vigilance was at its lowest.

If there was no reminder from the Rock Dragon Rat, then the sharp claw would definitely be able to easily extinguish the fire without being noticed by him.

At that time, he will probably be marked by something dark again.

He hasn't recovered from the injury he suffered before. If he suffers another injury, the lightest thing is to lose his ability to move.

In this dangerous secret realm, the consequences of losing the ability to act can be imagined.

"I don't know when it will be dawn..."

Link glanced at the time, it was exactly three o'clock in the morning.

If the time in the secret realm is synchronized with reality, it will take at least two or three hours to wait until dawn.

This time is very long, at least beyond the limit of his communicator's power!

Looking back, there was nothing left in the ruins of the pig house except for a pile of stones.

He must find new fuel as soon as possible!
Originally, the most indispensable thing in the forest was fuel. At worst, a fire could be set off. Given the size of this forest, it would be enough to burn for several days.

The whole forest is burning, no matter how powerful the claws are, it's impossible to extinguish them all, right?
pity.

This is a petrified forest.

All things that can be touched by the eyes are made of stones, and even if they are not stones, they cannot be used for burning.

It's hard to find something here that will last you two or three hours.

But the consequence of not looking for it is to wait for death.

Helpless, Link could only rely on the faint light to explore the forest again.

On the way, he took out his windproof lighter to see if the brightness of the lighter could avoid that dark thing.

The result is, not at all!

Even if he turned on the flame of the lighter to the maximum, the weird sound still sounded as usual.

Moreover, Link also found that when he was in the dark, his energy would drop extremely quickly.

At most, he felt a little tired just now, which did not affect his actions, but now, he already felt a dull pain in his head and his body was powerless.

Every step is a double devastation to the mind and the body.

Link even felt that as long as he closed his eyes, he could fall asleep instantly!

Unfortunately, he can't do that...

After persisting like this for more than an hour, Link stared at his bloodshot eyes and sat down on the ground.

It is impossible to go out at all, and it is impossible to accurately identify the direction in such a dim environment.

He even felt like he was walking backwards, or kept going in circles.

"out of battery."

Link glanced at the remaining power of the communicator.

In 5 minutes at most, his only light source will be lost, and by then, it will really be the end of the road.

"The last minute..."

Link was lost in thought.

At this point of time, it is unrealistic to expect to find other combustibles. He can only find a way from himself.

perhaps……

"Is burning clothes a good idea?"

Link looked at his backpack.

When he came out this time, he brought two sets of clothes, and it didn't seem to matter if he burned one now.

Without much hesitation, Link took out his clothes and quickly lit them on fire.

brush!
The flames shot up into the sky, and the temperature brought by the flames made Link feel at ease.

This peace of mind lasted a total of 10 minutes.

Ten minutes later, the clothes had been reduced to ashes all over the place.

Link looked at his backpack again.

After thinking about it, he put all unnecessary things, together with the backpack, on the ashes of the suit just now, and burned them together.

This move reassured him for another half an hour.

Half an hour later, looking at the flames that were about to go out, Link wanted to cry but had no tears.

Nothing really burned.

If you really want to burn...

"Goodbye, my dear top."

Link tearfully undressed, and continued his life for another 10 minutes.

There is only one pair of pants left, this one really can't be burned anymore.

This is the last dignity of being a human being...

Glancing at the communicator, there was at least half an hour left before the estimated dawn.

Link was shirtless, squatting silently on the ground.

Fortunately, the environment in the secret realm is not too cold, even if he is shirtless, it doesn't affect him, but he feels a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that the embers of the backpack were about to go out, Link turned his stiff neck and looked at his pants.

As a four-star summoner, does he have to burn his pants for a living?
How does this work!
Swish!

Two summoned beasts suddenly appeared.

Link took out a fruit knife and looked at the glacier penguin and rock dragon rat, two monsters with relatively lush hair.

As the master, he didn't even have any clothes now. How could these two summoned beasts have to share joys and sorrows?
"You two, I'm sorry, I'll borrow some clothes."

Link clasped his fists.

"???"

The two summoned beasts looked confused.

Then, they were shaved inhumanely by Link.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Link rubbed the bare bodies of the two summoned beasts, waved his hand, and sent them back, leaving only a patch of hair.

These hairs were reduced to ashes after only ten minutes of burning.

There is no way, hair is not very burnt...

After the fire light from the hair went out, Link turned on the light of the communicator again.

This time, he was really desperate.

He burned everything he could except his pants, and he couldn't make it to dawn.

Looking at the red battery icon on the status bar, Link suddenly turned off the light on a whim.

In the ear, a strange voice sounded as promised.

Link silently counted the time, and when he felt that he was about to be attacked, he immediately turned on the light on the communicator.

Swish!
The voice disappeared, and Link was unharmed.

"feasible!"

Link was overjoyed, relying on this operation, abruptly extended the lighting time of the communicator lights to half an hour!

Half an hour later, the light from the communicator finally went out overwhelmed.

But at this time, the surrounding area was still dark, and there was not even a hint of dawn...

Dawn, will it come?

Jie Jie Jie...

The sharp voice that was even somewhat used to it sounded again.

Link's thoughts turned rapidly, but he couldn't think of any way to deal with the predicament in front of him.

Maybe burn the pants, and you can delay it a little longer, but...

What's the point?

Looking up at the sky, it was still pitch black, not even a faint starlight could be seen.

In this case, if it takes a few more minutes, will the sky light up in an instant?
Jie Jie Jie-

The pitch of the voice climbed to a peak.

Link knew that this was the prelude to the attack.

He tensed his body, and prepared himself for danger with a few summoned beasts who looked like blind men!
thump—

Danger is imminent.

The attack seemed to directly affect his body, and there was no way to dodge it.

but.

The injury he suffered this time was much lighter than before.

In his hand, the dagger used for shaving has been broken.

Just now, Link subconsciously used this relatively hard dagger to protect his heart. Unexpectedly, he hit it sideways and blocked the fatal attack.

An attack that could shatter even a dagger, if it hit him in the heart, there was absolutely no possibility of him surviving.

After one blow, the voice calmed down a bit.

Link clutched his aching chest and lay down on the ground.

It was already at the limit, as early as two hours ago, his spirit was already exhausted, and he had to rely on one breath to hold on till now.

At this moment, it was like a thunderbolt in my head, ringing non-stop.

The double torment of body and spirit has already made him fall into a semi-comatose state.

Jie Jie Jie...

After only a moment of peace, the voice sounded again.

"To die..."

In a trance, Link only had this last thought in his mind.

Before again, he never expected that he would die in a secret realm.

however.

At the moment when the tone reached its peak and the attack was about to come, the surrounding things suddenly brightened.

Its daybreak.

"This……"

Link was dumbfounded.

There is really no transition at all this day, and it suddenly lights up?

Come to dawn anyway...

drip...

The communicator turns on automatically.

Link glanced at the time above, it was six o'clock in the morning.

It's not bad, if it's dawn at six o'clock, it's dawn at six o'clock.

Only then did he realize that this is a secret realm, and the time in the secret realm is set by the cultivator who created this secret realm, and he can let it dawn when he wants it to dawn.

Having said that, every creator of a secret realm will restore the most realistic astronomical system to his secret realm, so that people in it will not feel the difference from the outside world.

After all, before the secret realm became a secret realm, it was a small world created by some high-level practitioners to store their wealth, or to cultivate themselves, and to use it for entertainment and vacation.

In other words, the cultivator who created this secret realm will live in it, or often go in and out of it.

In this case, as long as they are normal people, they will create a relatively comfortable environment for themselves, so this day and night change is too painful.

Just imagine, you are sleeping comfortably, one second you think it is late at night, and the next second the sun is shining on your buttocks, isn't this torture?

Anyway, Link didn't expect that the way to get out of danger was to rely on such a painful alternation of day and night.

"It's dawn, you should be able to relax."

Link rubbed his temples.

That attack hurt him not only physically, but also mentally.

Before that attack, his mental state was definitely not as bad as it is now.

He just wants to sleep well now to relieve his fatigue.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

A new crisis is coming soon.

A rhinoceros-like monster with a whole body made of black shadows slowly emerged in the distance.

"Sure enough, it's still here."

Link was not surprised.

As early as at night, he had seen the phantom of this umbral monster through the firelight, but at that time, the figure of this umbral monster was still very faint, and it disappeared the moment he noticed it, which once made him Thought it was an illusion.

but.

How can there be a real illusion in this dangerous secret realm?

Five-star beginner!

This is the strength level of umbral monsters.

Link waved his hand and let his summoned beasts rush up.

This battle lasted for half an hour, which was longer than the time it took to solve the mad pig before!
It's not that the umbral is stronger than that mad pig, but the characteristics of the umbral are really maddening.

Every time it is attacked, the shape of the umbral disappears, and it takes a long time to recondense.

If it weren't for this umbral being a little stunned and not running away with residual blood, his work might be in vain this time.

Fortunately, the result was very gratifying. In addition to providing him with a thousand points of energy, this umbral also brought a new item.

Nightmare fuel!

With a thought of Link, a lump of black soul body appeared in his hand.

The pigskin and two pieces of meat dropped by the pigman before can also be taken out. The system only plays a role of storage, similar to a backpack.

Nightmare fuel, this is the name given by the system.

Judging from the name, Nightmare Fuel should be the energy core of something, and this core should be related to this secret realm.

However, Link's understanding of this secret realm is really limited, and he really can't figure out the function of this thing in his hand.

Helpless, he could only temporarily throw it into the system.

"Why do I feel like I'm more energetic?"

Link frowned, wondering if it was an illusion, after killing the umbral, the dizziness in his head was relieved a bit!
Although he is still very tired, it has given him a certain ability to move.

At the moment, with the support of the summoned beast, Link began to continue exploring this secret realm, looking for a way out.

Soon, it was afternoon.

Link, who was in high spirits, accidentally discovered the trace of the five-star summoner, and relying on him, he found the group of the Beast Gang!

As for why he is so energetic, it is also thanks to those shadow monsters.

Killing umbrals does restore spirits.

Along the way, Link killed three more shadow monsters and obtained a total of seven nightmare fuel.

Every time he kills, he becomes more energetic. Just now, his spirit has returned to a normal level, and even the fatigue of staying up all night has been eliminated!

Originally, he wanted to try to see how much he could be energetic, but unfortunately, after his spirit returned to normal, the umbral no longer appeared.

This is really a pity, after all, the umbral is the only "creature" here.

Apart from the pigman and the four umbrals, he hadn't seen anything alive.

Ok……

Except for those in the distance.

"Is that the altar?"

Link hid in the dark, looking at the ornate stone pile surrounded by the beast gang.
