The Village Girl Who Was Forced to Become the Hero

Chapter 66 (4)

The unicorn’s body was already stiff, judging from the dry blood under it, it seemed to have been dead for a long time.

“…”

Lin Tianyin’s mood was indescribable, she slowly stood up and shook her head to the companion behind her. Gagaf was stunned, Leo didn’t change his expression from start to finish, and he didn’t seem to have any thoughts about the death of the unicorn.

“Who did this kind of thing…”

“I don’t know… If it is a poacher, it clearly has no horns, why would it become a target…” Lin Tianyin murmured. She looked at the unicorn’s corpse, and the wound was clearly a knife wound. That person is probably very good at using swords. Could it be Rio…?

For an instant Lin Tianyin was almost taken aback by her own thoughts, but she immediately rejected this hypothesis. First of all, Leo was their companion, and secondly, did it make sense to kill the unicorn? For whatever reason, there is no need to kill a unicorn that has lost its horn, right?

“…”

The atmosphere was silent for a while. Although Lin Tianyin hated this **** unicorn, seeing its death still made her feel very heavy. At this time, a very ominous premonition surged from her heart.

I always feel… maybe something bad will happen.

74.

The unicorn was killed somehow, which made everyone feel very uneasy. In front of the unicorn who had been dead for a long time, Mirona’s healing skills were already powerless, and everyone was at a loss. But in this situation, they couldn’t do much. In the end, Lin Tianyin dug a hole and buried the body of the unicorn in it.

Seeing that it gave the horn to itself… May it rest in peace.

Although I don’t know if the slain unicorn can enter the reincarnation, Lin Tianyin has confirmed that what they encountered is indeed the last unicorn in this forest called Unicorn. Not knowing the purpose of the person who did such a cruel thing, Lin Tianyin sighed heavily. After burying the unicorn, she folded her hands for a moment, then turned to her companions and said calmly, “Let’s go.”

“Hmm…” Mirona nodded. She was originally the sentimental Virgin type, but now she looks even more sad. “Who did such a cruel thing…”

“I don’t know.” Lin Tianyin shook her head, she was also in a bad mood. But in this situation, she really had no clues at all, and she couldn’t guess why the other party wanted to kill the unicorn. Moreover, the unicorn was attacked far away from here, was hunted down here, and eventually lost its strength and bleeds and died. The most important thing is that this unicorn is agile, and the person who killed it is obviously not a general, but why does the other party spend so much effort to do this kind of thing? It’s not the story of Harper’s Potter. Anyone who can’t even mention a name needs to regain his strength by sucking the blood of a unicorn…

But it doesn’t make much sense to think about these things now. It’s the key to find the lost Celir right now. I hope that guy doesn’t have any trouble. Lin Tianyin said hello to his companions, and then continued to groping deep in the forest while shouting his name.

It’s really inconvenient without a mobile phone…

Speaking of it, there are actually telephones in this world, and there are many ways of communication, but there is only such a portable communication device. The technology of this world really stays at a very subtle point. The level of technology in some areas has far surpassed Lin Tianyin’s original world, and it can even be called black technology, but in some aspects it appears to be very lagging behind. And in terms of details, it’s not humane at all, it’s like I wrote this and forgot that when I was making the setting. But this is quite in line with the original author’s character of being careless and like chaos.

“Celil, are you there?”

“Celil—”

But no matter how everyone shouted in this forest, they didn’t get any response. Gradually, the position of the group of people was approaching the territory of the elves again. Although he had barely reached a settlement with the elves before, Lin Tianyin still had some psychological obstacles to the cold and noble elves, and didn’t want to contact them if it was not necessary. But considering that Celil might also think they went to see the Elf King, it is still necessary to ask if the elves have seen him. After hesitating for a while, Lin Tianyin decided to go over and inquire again, in case this guy is like Leo and gets caught up in trouble…

“The land of the elves is now… let’s go over and ask.”

Lin Tianyin looked at the obvious changes in the surrounding scenery, and speeded up his pace while introducing the situation to his companions.

Seeing Mirona looking forward to novel things, Lin Tianyin suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a male elf in the introduction to the original story that fell in love with the heroine! Although I don’t know what’s wrong, Mirona’s Marisu halo has not been played so far, only attracting a meaningless cannon fodder pirate. In the end, they violently damaged the crotch of the house. It was almost…

As expected by Lin Tianyin, after stepping into the territory of the elves again, the group was immediately surrounded by a group of unfriendly elven patrols. Rufas is the leader, their eyes are like gems, glowing in the dark, with a kind of strange beauty. After seeing Lin Tianyin’s visitor this time, Rufas couldn’t help but frown slightly. He put down his longbow when he stepped on the rock, and stared at Lin Tianyin with a little displeasedness and said: “…what are you guys? Here again, what’s the matter this time?”

“Well, I’m sorry to disturb you again.” Lin Tianyin is very familiar with this type of guys, polite and decent, looking measured and with a little self-esteem, “because we had a companion before. We are here, but we did not meet him in the Unicorn Forest, so I would like to ask if any of you have broken in here.”

“Other people?” Rufas frowned and thought about it, then turned to ask the other elves, “Have you seen other humans when patrolling?”

“No.” The elves looked at each other, saying that they had never seen other humans.

“That’s it…” Lin Tianyin was suddenly disappointed after receiving the answers from the elves. Still no clue, but where did Celir go?

“Then bother you, let’s say goodbye…”

It doesn’t make sense to stay here. Lin Tianyin and the crowd were about to leave, when he suddenly heard Rufas say: “Wait a minute.”

Lin Tianyin and the others stopped, the dark green-haired elf prince jumped off the boulder and came to them lightly a few steps. Although the elves’ inherent arrogance was on his face, he said to them kindly: ” If your friend has indeed been here, it is likely to be dragged into [between the slits] by the undead in the forest.”

“Between the slits? What kind of place is that?” Wen Yan couldn’t help but startled Lin Tianyin, and couldn’t help but think of her dream. If she hadn’t been awakened by Rey at that time… Has she also been taken away by the undead?

“That place is the gap between life and death.” Lufas was not affected by these human irritability, and the word order slowly explained, “Those who carry the strong obsessions of life cannot lead to the world after death. The undead will be trapped in the cracks and will never be able to escape.”

“My God!” Mirona exclaimed, covering her mouth in horror, “Then what will happen to Mr. Celer?!”

“The souls that will be trapped and cannot find an exit will gradually be eroded by the darkness, and will eventually become the same existence as those undead.”

“If that’s the case… how can we save him?”

“You have to find the human body before it dies.” Rufas said calmly, “The human body should be somewhere in this forest after the soul leaves. We can help you find . But it would be too risky to retrieve the human soul.”

“It’s okay! Please tell us what to do?” Lin Tianyin asked. She suddenly felt a very painful feeling in her heart, which she had never had before. How can you leave your companions alone? No matter what the price is, he must be saved!

“Remember it in the southernmost part of the Unicorn Forest?” Rufas asked.

“Of course, I accidentally walked there but there was no way. There was a cliff that could not be climbed.” Lin Tianyin recalled.

“Not only that.” Lufas said lightly, “There is an entrance to [between the slits].”

“Huh?” Lin Tianyin was taken aback, “but I didn’t see anything.”

“Of course you can’t see it. Humans generally cannot step into that place. Unless they drink a special medicine, their breath becomes the same as those of the undead, so that they can pass through the entrance and at the same time avoid the undead’s attention. Power.” Rufas frowned slightly, he probably saw Lin Tianyin’s thoughts, “In fact, the end between the slits is the way to the world of bliss, but the dead souls can only wander in the slits forever. It is a very gloomy place full of resentment. Once humans step into it, they cannot stay for long. They will eventually become monsters that lose their form and even their self due to demonization.”

“…”

This answer caused everyone to fall into silence for a while, and everyone’s expressions were very heavy, but to make matters worse, another elf came out of the forest and whispered a few words in Lufas’ ear. Then Rufas told them that he had confirmed that he had found Celir’s body in the forest. This news was like a thunderstorm, shattering everyone’s last chance.

That guy…what’s wrong, he is so shrewd and cunning…how could he be fooled so easily!

Lin Tianyin squeezed his fist and asked aloud: “…So how much time do we have?”

“Are you sure that human being is worth your risk?” Lufas’s voice became calm and even cruel. “For an hour, if you can’t come out, you won’t be able to come back.”

…Less time than imagined!

“I understand.” Lin Tianyin nodded, she decided! Even if others object, she still has to save Celer!

“Then if you think about it, come to see me in the south of the Unicorn Forest, and I will help you enter the gap.” Lufas stared at the group of people with very tangled expressions, “This is for Thank you for bringing back Ophelia’s relics…I will wait for you there.”

After Rufas spoke, his figure quickly disappeared into the forest.

…

Lin Tianyin took a deep breath and was about to tell the others about his plan, but Gagaf suddenly said, “What are you waiting for, let’s go.”

“Yeah! We are going to help Mr. Celer!” Mirona shook her hands with a look full of vitality, trotting to catch up with Gagaf, who had already taken the first step, then turned and waved to Lin Tianyin again. Hurry up, sister!”

“You…” Lin Tianyin looked at these companions who directly took action with a slight astonishment, “Have you really considered it clearly?”

This is not an outing! Why can it become so easy all of a sudden? !

Before this, Gagaf didn’t trust Celir, and even hated him a bit. For Mirona, he was a person who had only just known each other for a short time, but at this time he was so simple!

“Hey… I said, do you really understand what the elf said?”

“so what?”

Leo, who hadn’t talked much, stopped. His expression was not warm, but he stared at her firmly, “…You said, isn’t it a companion?”

75.

Lin Tianyin still couldn’t figure out why Celer’s shrewd guy fell into the trap of the undead. But things have become like this, she can only find a remedy if she can’t figure it out.

When the group followed the road back to the southernmost side of the Fairy Forest, they saw Lufas waiting there in front of the stone wall, and the elves had found Celir and brought him over. The young man seemed to be asleep, lying motionless in front of the rock wall.

“Celil—!”

A group of people ran over immediately when they saw it. They lifted Celer’s body and found that he still had a breath, but they didn’t wake up no matter how they shouted.

“It’s useless, his soul has left.” Rufas interrupted them lightly. As a different race, he obviously couldn’t feel the mood of this group of human beings. He just watched them calmly and asked, “You all Have you decided yet.”

“Yes.” Lin Tianyin nodded and said, “Please tell us what we should do.”

Lufas stared at the group of people who seemed to have made an enlightenment, and leisurely took out a stuffed small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Lin Tianyin who was standing in front of him.

“This is the’Water of the Styx’, which can make the breath of the body become the same potion as the undead in a short time, and you can drink it through the entrance between the slits. But be careful, while drinking it There will also be big side effects.”

He didn’t explain the side effects at all. A group of people looked at the porcelain bottle carefully, as if it were a precious and dangerous thing, and did not dare to act rashly.

Lufas closed his eyes, and after a short pause, he continued to warn cruelly: “Even so, between the slits is a place where human beings cannot survive. Whether you can find your companion, it must be within an hour. come out.”

“…Ok.”

“If you have any questions, you can ask me.”

It may be that the behavior of these humans not abandoning their companions has some infections with Rufas, although his attitude is still so cold, but his words are a lot of friendly.

Lin Tianyin stared at the small bottle and swallowed nervously. So far, she has considered a lot of things, as to whether it is worthwhile for them to do so, and is it fair to other companions? But the answer is not worth it. If she does nothing, she probably cannot forgive herself in her life.

Don’t leave any regrets, or anything that you regret.

Lin Tianyin said this to herself in her heart. This belief made her decisively pick up the small porcelain bottle and turn around to say to her companions: “Then if I don’t have time to come out, the task of saving the world will be left to you.”

“…Ugh?”

Mirona and the others were taken aback. They didn’t understand Lin Tianyin’s intentions at all, so they couldn’t help but looked at her in a puzzled way: “What does this mean? Didn’t they say that they should save Celir together?”

She shook her head: “It’s too risky to go in together, and if you get separated inside, the second sacrifice will be meaningless.”

“What silly thing to say?! Even if there is danger, we must bear it together! Aren’t we companions?!”

Mirona was the one who could not accept this approach the most, and she couldn’t help protesting very excitedly. Lin Tianyin ignored the little girl and carefully took out the unicorn’s horn from her pocket and handed it to Mirona.

“Take this.”

“sister-!”

Mirona’s expression became very horrified. Lin Tianyin sighed and shook her head to explain: “Because I am a companion, I am willing to take the risk to save Celir. But also because it is a companion, I have to do the inexhaustible for those who are unable to do so Responsibility.”

Lin Tianyin paused for a moment, with a trace of consciousness that she didn’t know, she stared at the people very seriously and said: “It is obviously extremely irresponsible for everyone to enter the slits together, and it will not help the search and rescue. If you lose yourself in it, you may suffer greater losses. Being willing to sacrifice is a beautiful quality, but we don’t need unnecessary sacrifices, especially when we are still carrying heavy responsibilities. So this matter is left to me to do a good job. , I promise to do my best to find Celir. If the worst happens, you will also inherit the will of the brave.”

“…sister……”

Those words that sounded very determined and firm couldn’t help moving everyone present. Mirona’s tears were already rolling in her eyes, almost running away. Lin Tianyin watched her and shook her fingers: “Didn’t you say you want to listen to me? Don’t be willful Mirona.”

“But… Wow!” Mirona rushed over and hugged her, crying in tears.

Lin Tianyin reluctantly pushed Mirona away, and looked at the group of people who wanted to talk and shrugged: “Don’t worry, I’m only talking about the worst case. I will definitely rescue the fellow Celier out safely.”

“After all, I am the man who wants to be the king of brave!”

“Sanoya…I’m done! I must come back safely!”

…Rufas wanted to ask what the King of Heroes really is, but seeing the passionate appearance of all this group of human beings still suppressed the doubts in his heart. Although the perception of humans has changed a little because of this group of guys, Rufas can be sure that their brain circuits are definitely a bit abnormal.

Forget it, he has no interest in human affairs anyway…

Because these people were all immersed in their own world, Rufas deliberately coughed, and then took out a glowing glass bottle from his pocket. The light from the bottle is just right, not dazzling in the dark, but like a street lamp, dispersing the surrounding darkness.

A group of people were immediately attracted, and they couldn’t help but look over here, and then they saw that in the transparent bottle there was actually a slightly spinning bug. It was bright and glowing like a firefly. Light.

“this is…”

“This is the phantom bug. If you get lost in [between the slits], the phantom bug will take you to the exit.” Lufas said lightly, and then handed the glass bottle to Lin Tianyin. Give it to you.”

“…Thank you so much!”

So far, what Lin Tianyin fears most is getting lost. It would be great to have this! Does this count as extra help? Could it be that her performance just now moved the elves too? !

Lin Tianyin thinks this is probably the case! She immediately turned around and gave her a thumbs up to let them not worry. Leo looked at her rather complicated, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: “I’ll go with you.”

“Ah? No need, didn’t you say I went alone.” Lin Tianyin waved her hand and said, now that she has something like “the props that can lead the way back to the entrance of the maze”, she doesn’t care if she gets lost. Anyway, if you let the bug out, you will definitely find an exit.

“You can’t do it alone.”

Leo’s attitude is very determined, and he does not seem willing to give in. Lin Tianyin suddenly took a step forward, gave the boy a hug, and then quickly let go.

“Leo doesn’t need to accompany me on the adventure.” She grinned and said calmly, “It’s hard to get out of the sea monster’s belly. You should look at this vast world more.”

“…”

Leo was startled, I don’t know if it was the hug or the words now. He opened his eyes slightly, but there were some unspeakable meanings in his eyes. Without waiting for him to say anything, Lin Tianyin took a deep breath. She didn’t want to argue with her companions about these things anymore. She opened the cork very decisively, and drank all the liquid inside with one sigh of relief.

“…!”

The bottle crashed and fell to the ground, and the moment the liquid poured into his throat, his companions rushed up.

Lin Tianyin only felt a very cold sensation assaulting her, and her body’s strength seemed to have been emptied. My hands and feet started to numb, I couldn’t hold anything, even standing up became a very difficult thing.

“How do you feel?! Shanoya!”

Everyone held her back, and Gagaf turned anxiously and asked Rufas: “What’s the matter?!”

Lufas did not answer their questions. He pointed to the blank rock wall and said to Lin Tianyin who looked very painful: “There is an entrance that can enter [between the slits], but the phantom insect The place that brought you out may not be the same place. Any place where there is uncoordinated force fluctuation or collision may form a temporary entrance [between the slits], so your exit may also be anywhere, but your companions If he was dragged there in this forest, his soul shouldn’t be lost too far for the time being.”

“Okay… leave it to me.” Lin Tianyin took down Rufas’ prompt, and then gently pushed away to support her companion. She reluctantly propped up her body. The medicine made her feel uncomfortable all over, as if she had a high fever, her limbs were weak, and there was a faint tingling sensation all over her body. But she must persevere. She thanked Rufas, then clenched her teeth and insisted on walking to the blank rock face.

No entrance can be seen here. But the elf said it was here, maybe it was just invisible. Lin Tianyin tried to reach out and touch the rock face, and then suddenly Lin Tianyin found that the rock face seemed to be a phantom. She didn’t touch anything where it should be the rock face. Her whole arm was suddenly Submerge in.

“…!”

Lin Tianyin’s eyes widened in surprise, she continued to move forward, and half of her body was buried in it. Mirona and the others ran over immediately when they saw it. They hurriedly reached out to the same position as Lin Tianyin, but they did not pass like her. The rock wall they touched was an ordinary solid rock wall, all blocked outside.

“Except for the dead, neither humans nor elves can pass through that place.” Rufas was a little impatient, but he still frowned slightly to explain to them.

“It’s okay, don’t worry, I will come back.” This experience made Lin Tianyin feel very strange, but she still smiled reluctantly at Mirona who was holding her arm.

“Um… I must come back, elder sister!”

“Understood, did you hear what Rufas said? Even if I didn’t come out from here, I might have found other exits. If I don’t come out after an hour, you can go back with the unicorn horns. , Don’t forget what you should do.”

“…”

This kind of words that sounded like perfunctory seemed unable to convince these people who cared about them, but in the end Gagaf still grabbed Mirona and nodded to Lin Tianyin: “Be careful.”

“I will, you can let it go.”

But Mirona still refused to let go, as if holding Lin Tianyin would allow her to pass. However, Lin Tianyin didn’t leave a drop of medicine for them, and she was ready to resolve this matter by herself. But Mirona is not the type that can be easily said, she is too stubborn. So Lin Tianyin suddenly tore off Mirona’s belt very wickedly, and Mirona suddenly screamed, and the pants fell to the ground. All the people who were still immersed in the atmosphere of sadness were all dumbfounded. Then, taking this opportunity, Lin Tianyin hurriedly got into the rock wall.

In the next moment, Mirona screamed, and all the voices outside disappeared. Lin Tianyin fell into a place surrounded by darkness. She slowly raised her head and saw only an endless wilderness, which was depressingly suffocating, and there were countless undead flying around like wildfires.
