[Congratulations on winning a battle——

Your [Gold] increases by 21800! (Pickpocketing +9%)

You get the equipment [Limp Sculpture (Orange)]
【Limp Walker Sculpture (Orange)】

[Maximum health +25%]

[Damage +15%]

[Crit +8%]

【Immune to effects such as [stun], [blind], and [displacement]. 】

[Pressure increase speed +15%]

[Passive Skill: From the Abyss]

[When the health of the equipment bearer reaches zero, the Shambler sculpture will devour his flesh and blood and summon the real Shambler.]

[Note: The skill can only be activated when the health value is reduced to zero, not when the player enters the [Death] state.]

【"He's looking at me. I can feel it. No - don't come over!" - Butcher. 】

Twenty thousand gold coins and a piece of legendary equipment!

Yun Mu was immediately refreshed when she saw the orange light left behind after the monster disappeared. However, when she picked it up, a complicated look appeared on her face.
How should I put it?

This is a piece of equipment with a very simple and crude effect.

As long as you carry it, there will be a lot of attribute value bonuses.

Twenty-five percent of the maximum health, fifteen damage, eight critical hits, and even immunity to negative effects such as stun, blindness, and displacement.

But. There is no doubt that this is a double-edged sword.

While providing numerous properties, it also brings corresponding side effects to users.

The fact that the pressure rise rate increased by 15% is nothing, and it is not worth mentioning compared with the attributes brought by the equipment.

The important thing is the passive skill [From the Abyss. ]

As soon as their health reaches zero, they will be devoured by the sculpture, thus summoning the real Shambler.

The description of this skill effect is exactly the same as when Yun Mu defeated the butcher just now.

In other words, was the sculpture carried by the butcher?
As long as the health value reaches zero, it will be swallowed, rather than being swallowed after death. There is a big difference between the two.

Even Yun Mu himself could not guarantee that he could always keep his health above 0.

But then again, the game requires the health value to be above 0, but what about the real world?
There is no such concept as life value in the real world.

Could it be that he is dying, weak or something?

The sculpture will choose a special time to devour the user's flesh and then summon the real Limper from the Abyss.

Or is this sculpture actually the body of the Limping Man?

Yun Mu picked up the statue of the limping man and held it in front of him.

This thing looks very small and delicate, and its wrinkled dark purple skin and dark green pustules look lifelike.

Even in the wide open mouth, the interlaced canine teeth could be seen clearly.

"Looking at it this way, this guy is quite cute." Yun Mu said half-jokingly as he held the iron chain behind the limping man sculpture and shook it gently twice.

"Well, it's really cute." After hearing Yun Mu say this, Brenna moved closer to the Limping Man sculpture and observed it carefully.

"Don't, don't do that." Yun Mu was a little frightened by her words. She quickly put away the sculpture and said, "I was just kidding."

"Of course I know." Brianna covered her mouth and chuckled twice.

"Stop chatting over there." Lucy reminded them, "We are here to save people."

"Oh yes!"

Previously, Yun Mu was dragged into the dark purple hole by the Lame Man, and his brain, affected by the abyss, was not working well.

It was only after Lucy reminded me that the dwarf recruit was still tied to the operating table.

As for the butcher, there are also those devilish imps and pig-man slaves under him.

After the battle, they all disappeared.

Judging from the extra battle memories in his mind, it seemed that the butcher was frightened and fled from the room after being swallowed by the limp sculpture.

It seems that he was influenced by seeing the appearance of the limp man with his own eyes.

It is understandable. After all, Yun Mu and the others were forced into a state of chaos at the beginning of the battle, and even their stress attributes increased a lot.

That seemed to be a unique characteristic of the abyss. After the Limp Man was defeated, Yun Mu no longer had that strange feeling when he looked at the Limp Man sculpture.

However, when she tried to recall her previous battle with the Cripple, its image seemed to be blocked by a layer of mist and could not be seen clearly at all.

Only when she looked at the statue of the limp man could she recall it clearly.

It's really amazing.

Shaking his head, Yun Mu hung the limping man sculpture around his waist.

At least in this copy, she didn't think there was any enemy that could clear her health.

After simply packing up the spoils, Yun Mu and the other two came to the operating table.

The dwarf recruit seemed to have fainted and was even snoring at this time.

He didn't look very well, but after a quick check, Lucy found that he wasn't seriously injured at all.

Most of the damage from the trap is absorbed by the leg armor, but as for the teeth, there is nothing that can be done about it.

Yun Mu and the others didn't quite understand why the butcher wanted to pull out the teeth of the dwarf recruits.

Lucy guessed that it might be the butcher's personal hobby, as the pig slaves and pig gladiators they had met before also had no teeth.

It was most likely pulled out by a butcher.

But there is another possibility, which is quite terrifying when you think about it, so Lucy didn't say it.

That is, those pigmen were perhaps ordinary humans and dwarves transformed by some special ritual.

Extracting teeth is one of the steps.

But there's no point in talking about this right now, so let her keep this thought to herself.

The three men rescued the dwarf recruit from the dirty operating table and gave him a simple treatment.

Then Yun Mu threw him on Lilia's back.

"It seems a bit noisy outside?" After doing these things, Yun Mu looked in the direction they came from with some confusion.

With her extraordinary hearing, she heard shouts and screams coming from outside the door in the distance.

There are some familiar guys among them.

"It must be the dwarves coming." Lucy judged.

Of course the dwarves led by Leiden would not let Yun Mu and the others come over, so they just waited there.

There were so many of them, and it was not easy for them to pass through the dense forest full of traps, so their speed was much slower.

At this time, he arrived at the door of the hidden area [Rotten Meat Cellar] and bumped into the devil imps and pigman slaves.

"Let's hurry over there too." Yun Mu said.

"Yeah." Lucy and Brianna both nodded.

"boom!!"

The warhammer collided with the pigman gladiator's head, making a dull sound.

Leighton casually wiped the meat that splattered on his helmet, but did not let down his guard.

Creatures infected by the abyss have extremely strong vitality, and it is possible for them to fake death even if their heads are crushed.

He had to make sure that the enemy had not made any moves before looking for the next target.

And after the battle, all the bodies will be gathered together and burned.

Otherwise, there is no guarantee that some of them are still alive.

"Block all the exits here and don't let any monsters escape!"

After confirming that the guy in front of him was dead, Leighton shouted loudly.

"Oh!!"

The dwarves around responded one after another.

At the same time, on the other side, Yun Mu and his friends also encountered the chaotic pigmen and devil imps.

However, before the battle was triggered, these guys were frightened and fled in all directions after seeing the sculpture of a limping man hanging around Yun Mu's waist.

Yun Mu originally wanted to catch up with these guys to earn some gold coins, but the message that popped up on the game panel made her give up the idea.

[[Pigman Slave] fled after seeing you. You picked up 3052 gold coins from the corridor where he escaped (Pickpocketing +9%)]
[【Laughing Imp】 fled after seeing you. You picked up 3216 gold coins in the corridor he passed by when escaping (pickpocketing +9%)]
[[Pig Gladiator] fled after seeing you. You picked up 3052 gold coins from the corridor where he escaped (Pickpocketing +9%)]
[]
A large amount of escape information was refreshed on the game panel. Yun Mu looked at the gold coins in his backpack that kept increasing and opened his mouth in surprise.

No, why does every monster drop gold coins when it escapes?

And what does this have to do with pickpocketing?
In the past, at least we were given the memory of taking out gold coins from a monster, but now you can’t even act it out, right?
But it doesn't matter, she likes it.

Yun Mu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She took Lucy and Brianna all the way towards the exit.

After about half an hour, the battle finally came to an end.

Leighton, who had been at the forefront of the battle and had been swinging his hammer continuously from the beginning to the end, let out a long sigh, placed the top of the hammer against the ground, and put his body weight on it.

"Those who still have the strength, gather the bodies together!" he ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked into the deep gate.

Yun Mu and his two companions walked out with the dwarf recruits.

They had been waiting in front of the exit for a while, and it wasn't that they didn't want to help.

It’s just like entering a cutscene, and all I can do is watch Layton and his men kill all the fleeing pigmen and imps.

And half an hour was just half a minute for Yun Mu and the others.

It's like watching an exquisite CG, and it's still very exciting when I think about it now.

And Leiden and the others didn't seem to notice anything strange. When they saw Yun Mu and the others coming back with the dwarf recruits, they greeted them happily.

"The new guy looks fine, but he sleeps like a pig."

"Can you please stop talking about pigs? We've already killed enough pigs."

"Hahaha, that's true." The dwarves joked with each other while dealing with the corpses on the ground.

And Leiden came to Yun Mu and the others and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave him to me." Leiden looked at the dwarf recruit lying on Lilia's back and said.

"of course."

Yun Mu naturally had no objection to this, and soon the injured dwarf recruit was taken away by Leighton.

"Wow!"

As the slippery grease was spread on the pile of corpses, a torch instantly ignited the pile of corpses.

"That's it." Leighton threw down the torch and looked at the raging fire in front of him.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, even those who were not completely dead would not be able to survive.

Although what he said was true, Leighton still planned to wait until the fire was out and confirmed that there was no problem before leaving.

Under the rough appearance, the dwarves have a delicate and serious heart, which is why the items forged by dwarf craftsmen are exquisite and durable.

Of course, birds of a feather flock together, and not all dwarves have this kind of patience.

After the fire was burned out, Leighton, Yunmu and the others continued to move deeper into the beast cave.

The dwarf recruit woke up from his coma halfway through the journey, but his leg injury had not healed yet, so he was still placed on the carriage carrying supplies.

The other party expressed his gratitude to Yunmu.

This guy was really lucky. He had already fainted before the Limp Man was summoned, so he was not scared by him.

Yun Mu chatted with him briefly and felt relieved after confirming that he was fine.

At the same time, a new fork in the road option appeared before her.

[Random Events] and——

【Blacksmith shop! 】

It's a blacksmith shop!

Yun Mu's gaze stayed on the [Random Event] option for a moment, and then she chose to go to the right without hesitation. Hey, did she choose the right side a few too many times this time?
Forget it, never mind her.

She now has 188995 gold coins on her, a huge sum of yuan!

I feel like my equipment is not keeping up with the progress, so it's time to strengthen it.

As they were thinking this, a familiar, uh, not so familiar building appeared in front of everyone.

It seemed that the appearance of the blacksmith shop would change in each copy. What appeared in front of Yun Mu and the others at this time was a square building made of stone bricks that was embedded in the mountain.

The forging furnace was emitting a blazing heat, and in front of a whetstone nearby, Guleiya with short black hair was sharpening a dagger.

"Great, there is a blacksmith shop here!" Leighton said excitedly after seeing the building in front of him, without noticing anything wrong.

The same was true for the other dwarves in the team.

Well, it seems that Yun Mu doesn’t have to worry about them noticing anything unusual.

"Long time, Miss Yun!" After hearing the footsteps, Gu Leya looked up and saw Yun Mu and the others, and immediately waved to her happily.

"Long time no see, Gu Leiya." Yun Mu nodded and responded: "How long ago was the last time I came here?"

"Well." Gu Leiya looked up in confusion. She thought for a long time before answering uncertainly, "It should be more than a month ago. Maybe about forty days?"

About forty days? It seems to be about the same time as in reality.

Yun Mu also asked this question when he came to the blacksmith shop last time. Combining the results of the two times, the time Gu Leiya spent should be the same as that in the real world.

What is the use of drawing this conclusion?

Hmm. It seems to be of no use.

Not in a hurry to strengthen his equipment, Yun Mu first had a brief chat with Gu Leya.

For example, what the other party has done during this period of time, and the former store manager that the other party mentioned when the two met last time.

In addition, Yun Mu also tried to invite Gu Leya to see if he could invite her as his partner.
