Using the word 'scary' to describe that face was the perfect word.
The face … looked like an old woman who had lived for more than three hundred years, and the aging process had been accelerating.
To put it this way, Feng Bujue did not have the heart to comment on the face because all the words that came to his mind were harsh. He could only sigh in a more tactful manner. "It's like the scene of a tragic car accident …" His eyes widened, and he shook his head. "I can't even move my eyes away."
The owner of the face behind the tree was obviously a 'monster' in terms of setting. This kind of existence was set up by the system to be hostile to the players from the beginning. They would selectively ignore the words of the players, like the 'sci-fi', 'worldview', and 'car accident' that came out of Feng Bujue's mouth. This monster would not comment on them, and these words would not trigger any flags or change the monster's behavior.
"You … are looking for the 'Temple of the Hidden Bell'?" the strange face asked.
"Yes," Feng Bujue replied immediately.
Passing Rain glanced at Feng Bujue from the corner of her eyes. She could not help but admire him. She thought to herself, 'He has just heard the name' Temple of the Hidden Bell 'two seconds ago, but he can answer her without hesitation, and there is no sign of lying on his face …'
"Hahaha …" The strange face laughed, and then the sound of a bell came from behind the tree.
"You don't have a bell, so how are you going to find it?" The strange face raised her arm and poked it out from behind the tree. She was wearing a very normal white cloth shirt, and from the exposed sleeve, her clothes were very clean and neat.
In Feng Bujue's imagination, the person before him would have her arm wrapped in a rotten mummy bandage, but he did not expect this. However, he did not dwell on the issue of clothing for too long because his attention was immediately attracted by the bell in the woman's hand.
It was a small bell that could be held in the palm of one's hand. It was silver in color, and the sunlight that filtered through the gaps in the tree's shade shone on the bell, reflecting a rather blinding light.
"With this bell of yours, can we find the Temple of the Hidden Bell?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Yes, you have to carry the bell to find the temple door," the strange face replied. "Do you want it?"
"What? Does that mean you can give it to me? "Feng Bujue asked again.
"Sure, hehehe …" The strange face laughed again. In a way, it was scarier than when it was not laughing. "Come over here and take it, and I'll give it to you."
"Hehehe … Sure." Feng Bujue smiled as he took out his stool from his backpack …
The strange face did not know what to think. Perhaps she did not realize that Feng Bujue had taken out a weapon. When Feng Bujue was about three meters away from her, she asked, "Wait a minute... What are you holding?"
"Oh, this?" Feng Bujue replied calmly. "A stool."
"What are you doing with the stool?"
"I've been standing for a long time. I want to sit down for a while," Feng Bujue replied. "Since I got the bell, I'm going to sit down and rest."
The strange face looked suspicious. "Alright … Come here …"
Passing Rain stood where she was. Looking at the situation, she wanted to laugh. She believed that only Feng Bujue would be able to make such a joke in this kind of atmosphere. However, Passing Rain did not let her guard down. If the monster made any sudden move to attack, Passing Rain would react instantly to help.
Feng Bujue soon reached the tree. With every step he took, he placed his weight on the leg behind him. The leg that he took out first tapped the ground with the tip of his toes. After making sure there was no trap on the ground, he took the next step.
"What are you doing now?" the strange face asked.
Feng Bujue replied, "Stretching my legs to see if there's anything wrong with them."
"Don't you know if there's anything wrong with your own legs?" The strange face suddenly looked vicious. "Are you suspecting that I've set a trap for you?"
"Of course not," Feng Bujue replied calmly. "Whether there's something wrong with my legs or not, you need to take two steps to know." At this point, he imitated MJ's moonwalk and moved back a few steps. "See … This is called taking two steps …"
Passing Rain finally could not help but burst out laughing.
The monster was dumbfounded. What was going on? This person used the action of walking forward to move back?
"Alright, come over here. Do you still want the bell?" The strange face's eyes and tone revealed obvious eagerness and greed.
Feng Bujue had basically ruled out the possibility of a trap through observation and careful observation of the surroundings, so he thought … the problem must be with the tree.
"Can I ask … why are you hiding behind the tree?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Come over and see for yourself … won't you know?" the strange face replied.
Feng Bujue was already very close to her. He only needed to move a few meters to the side, and he would be able to see the situation behind the tree. However, just as he was about to move, the strange face saw through him and immediately shouted, "Don't move! Why are you going there? "
"To see why you're hiding behind the tree." As Feng Bujue answered, he walked around the tree while maintaining his distance. He wanted to see what was behind the tree.
To his surprise, the strange face followed his movement and walked around the tree, still only showing her head and one of her arms.
"Don't come around!" The strange face saw that the situation was not good and started to threaten him. "Stick close to the tree and walk over, or I'll destroy the bell!"
The monster neglected one thing. When she followed Feng Bujue's movement and changed her hiding angle, Passing Rain had already entered her blind spot. At that moment, Passing Rain moved silently and approached from the other side of the tree.
From Feng Bujue's angle, naturally, he could see what Passing Rain was doing, but his expression and eyes did not give away his teammate's movement. There was no sign of nervousness or guilt on his face.
"Okay, I'm coming over! I'm really coming! " Feng Bujue raised his voice slightly and uttered some nonsense. "I will take big strides over here now." He dragged out his words, but his feet did not move at all.
This was to buy time and cover for Passing Rain at the same time.
In fact, Passing Rain didn't need this kind of laughable cover. In just ten seconds, she quickly and quietly circled to the angle where the strange face was hiding.
The scene that greeted her eyes shocked Passing Rain. She could not help but frown. She immediately shouted at Feng Bujue, "She only has a head and one arm. Her neck and arm are both grown from the tree. Don't get close to that tree!"
