"I lost……"

Gray lost his posture and lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

I entered a friendly fighting state and kicked him up: "That's enough, don't waste your time pretending to be the Fire Cloud Evil God! Do you still remember what we are competing for?"

Gray's gray eyes gradually regained their clarity after hearing these words: "It's to decide the outcome... No! It's to test weapons!"

"It's good to think about it. I worked so hard to cooperate with you in the test, but you actually got into it and became more and more enthusiastic as you played?"

"I'm sorry, boss... I've never competed with others before, so when I get this opportunity, I can't help but want to decide the winner." Gray said sheepishly.

This situation is also normal. People with special skills often have a competitive spirit, especially those who have learned combat skills. If they don't control well, they will be injured or even killed, and they will feel so good that they can't stop. There is a saying.

Okay, Huo Yuanjia, when did you become the number one in Tianjin?

"Okay, without further ado, what do you think of weapons?"

Gray stood there holding the iridescent sword in both hands, slowly recalling the previous battle experience, calling on the motor memory of every muscle, and began to formulate words.

"This weapon combines the flexibility of a broadsword, the slashing of a slashing sword, and the thrusting of a knight's sword. It can be said to be a powerful weapon on the battlefield and can fully cope with various scenarios. As long as it is in hand, no one can

Relax..."

I nodded: "It seems that you have realized another meaning of weapons. A new realm beyond practicality, convenience, and diversity. That is deterrence!"

"Deterrence...?"

"That's right. The most dangerous time for a weapon is not in the process of wielding it to attack, but in the moment before it is unsheathed. No one knows whose life will be taken away. That sense of pressure and peeping is directed at the soul.

attack!"

Gray looked like he suddenly realized: "No wonder, boss, you keep wandering around me but don't attack! It turns out that you are trying to make me feel intimidated! It is true that the feeling of having an enemy following you around will make any normal person's mind collapse.

of."

Well, I guess you're overthinking it.

"That's good if you understand it. What's your comment on the other features?" I continued to persuade him, hoping that he would continue to expand his thinking and fall into bigger misunderstandings.

Gray swung his sword, and the strong wind blew the surrounding vegetation swaying, breaking everywhere it touched.

"The advantages of this sword's design are as obvious as its disadvantages. It is very heavy, and it is impossible for the user to hold the sword with one hand and swing it. Only by holding the sword with both hands can it exert its power. Therefore, the blunt and round head,

The body is wide but thin, and there is a section of edgeless area above the handle. Everything exists for efficient chopping. However, this will lead to a rapid loss of physical strength and lead to a dilemma of exhaustion in actual combat..."

After saying this, he fell into thinking and continued to look at the sword in a daze, as if he really understood something.

Seeing this, I didn't disturb him, leaving Gray alone to think about his thoughts and prepare to complete the final part of the base layout.

In the early stage, I added floors, tables, chairs, beds, and even weapons. As a result, the wood I prepared earlier was not enough, and the plan to build a workbench was temporarily shelved.

At this time, the night has reached the top, and the entire Madas Mountain has fallen into a deep sleep. Tired birds have returned to their nests, spring insects are dormant, and the wind that has been tired for a day has roared back to the stone gaps in the forest where it rests.

Restore the hustle and bustle of the day.

I carried the ax and walked up the mountain step by step. To cut down trees to hide the eyes and ears of others, you need to use your brain. The sea is the best place to hide water droplets, so the forest is the best place to hide trees.

The forest here is huge. As long as no one except Gotz can notice that one or two trees are missing, it is even easier to deceive Gotz.

I only need to cut down trees in the forest farm next to the lagoon in the middle of the mountain that he uses. No matter how insightful he is, he can't think of a tree missing from his forest farm, right?

The scenery by the lake is still picturesque, but the traces of the giant beast I discovered last time still linger in my heart and I can't go away. In this late night, it is really not suitable to stay for a long time. I'd better leave after cutting down the trees...

"Dong...dong...dong..."

The boring sound of logging sounded by the lake at night, and the sounds echoed on the lake, creating ripples. While I was controlling the logging system, I turned my sights to the dark lake and listened to the sound of every sound mixed in the breeze.

A trace of sound.

"It's a bit scary... It's so dangerous to be alone in this environment. If I had known, I would have asked Gray to come with me..."

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem safe to leave Gray alone by the hot spring. If he encounters a giant beast in the lake, he may not be able to take advantage with his skills.

I'd better go down the mountain quickly.

After making up my mind, I collected some chopped logs and prepared to return to the secret base.

Suddenly, a small abnormal sound blew past my ears. The sound was like insects in the dust biting rags, or like waves hitting rotten wood. The sound was hollow and dull.

I gripped the ax tightly and followed the sound, and found that the source of the sound came from the nightmarishly silent Mid-Levels lagoon.

A nearly human-sized figure by the lake was soaked and lying in the mud at the lake. The whole body was heavily sunk in the sticky mud, exuding a horrible smell like a corpse. The body was entangled with the water plants at the bottom of the lake and turned into

The heavy shroud strangled this poor life.

The reason why I can tell that this humanoid creature is still alive is because of the dazzling, shocking, and continuously spreading red pool under his body.

Blood seeped out from the countless wounds on his body, gathering into a vast, thick, and thick river of blood. It happily rushed into the lake, giving this beautiful lake like a mirror in the middle of the mountain a strange and alluring look.

color.

I held the ax and walked slowly towards the man by the lake. All kinds of terrifying speculations came to my mind. Will he turn into a ghoul and attack people? Are there apex predators there? Will the blood attract people?

The footsteps of the hoodoo? What on earth is going on here?

It took less than fifteen minutes from the time I arrived here to the time I found someone at the lake. I can guarantee from my memory that it was absolutely impossible for anyone to drag their seriously injured body to the lake during this period.

So it is only possible that this person came out of the lake?

How is it possible for a human being to walk alone through the cold lake water and the muddy lake bottom, endure the dual injuries of suffocation and water pressure, and come to the shore covered in blood?

When I came to this person in fear, something even more terrifying happened...

The poor man lying by the lake had lost control of himself unconsciously, but an invisible creature was tearing, biting, and scratching at him, with its sharp teeth recklessly.
