Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

Chapter 129 Sequence 6: The Beginning of Advancement

"It seems we can talk about it." Lu En said, "Tell me, what specific benefits will it give me?"

When the colorful crow heard Rune's promise, it flapped its wings, raised its head and said with disdain: "If you help me undo the curse, then I can show you the path to the advanced sequence."

It sounded proud and proud, "I know what you want!"

"The conditions seem pretty good."

Lu En lowered his head and thought for a moment.

When I came to Yinsha Port, all I wanted was an opportunity.

This is why I came to the Forbidden Forest.

Unexpectedly, not long after entering, I encountered a related adventure.

What a good luck!
But having said that, with little Carter by his side, his luck wasn't that bad.

I was slightly shocked.

Everything inside was the same color as the snail shell, pink.

Each sharp glass shard reflected the dark green forest.

It lowered its voice, "It's just that Little Red Riding Hood's sleep is very light. When you take the key from her, you may wake her up. Then you will have to pick up the fairy tale book next to her and read her fairy tales."

No one can tell.

Little Red Riding Hood's daily necessities are placed around.

In the very center of the shell was a window with a locked door underneath.

The snail glanced at Lu En, his two oversized eyes a little surprised.

[Follow the path, do not turn or turn back]

"There are many good things in the room. Which ones you can get depends on your luck."

"I will chase you. Don't look back when the time comes. Keep running along the third road. You will be able to get out of the forest and see what you want."

There was a sour smell of mucus in the air.

After half an hour of dreamlikeness, the world in front of me finally became clear.

Lu En narrowed his eyes and looked forward.

In this forest, it is impossible to see what is true and what is false.

A small house full of girlish atmosphere appeared in front of me.

As we continue to move forward, the world in front of us begins to become fragmented.

So these glass shards could be fake or real.

He quietly stepped forward, took out the key he had obtained before, and gently opened the door on the snail shell.

Rune was completely unable to tell the difference between true and false.

After glancing around, Lu En's eyes locked on a mushroom.
-
[Natural Wonder]: King of Flavor Mushrooms

Just move forward!
Fortunately, the glass shards in front of me are all illusions.

The rules of the forest at this point may cause serious injuries to those who pass through.

[Level]: Lv.70
[Effect]: After taking it, the resistance to decay increases by 20% (only once); if you take it repeatedly, you will enter a (sleep) state and have a beautiful hallucinogenic dream.

Even Lu En walked towards these glass fragments after being mentally prepared.

"Then you can tell me, what's so special about the cabin in the woods? And how can I avoid being killed by you?"

The further you go, the more real the illusion appears in front of you.

A very large blue snail that is three to four meters tall and over ten meters in size, carrying a pink shell on its back.

"Simple, simple!" The colorful crow cackled, "When you walk in from the left road, you will see the forest cabin. Little Red Riding Hood is sleeping inside. You can save her by taking a key from her waist. I."

Anyway, just move forward.

"Understood." Rune waved his hand and followed the colorful crow's instructions and walked towards the path on the left.

In both sentences, Rune used interrogative sentences to ensure that the crow would not tell lies.

It is somewhat similar to the snail Randy mentioned before, but not exactly the same.

Like countless pieces of glass pieced together.

But no matter what, the first rule of the Forbidden Forest must be followed.

Because at the very front, the so-called "hut in the woods" turned out to be a terrifyingly large snail!

Clothes, skirts, and spices were scattered everywhere.

But he didn’t say anything or do anything to Rune. He just bit off the leaves from the top and chewed them in his mouth.
Lu En felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the snail.

These fragments kept approaching Rune until they seemed to pierce his body, and then disappeared again.

"After you come out, follow the path on the right and you will be able to return here. After you unlock my seal, a third path will appear here!"

But he was too lazy to distinguish the true from the false.

PS: The items Little Red Riding Hood worked hard to collect in the forest are also his favorite rations——
A natural wonder!

Lu En was no stranger to this thing, and even looked forward to meeting it again every day.

I didn't expect that today would be such a fate.

The devil's peppers and tombstone mushrooms he bought from the black market merchant were still fresh in his memory.

nice one!
He did not hesitate to bite the King of Flavor mushrooms into pieces and swallowed them into his stomach.

[Rot resistance increased by 20%! 】

[Current rot resistance: 40%! 】

Lugard's potion, coupled with the King of Flavor Mushrooms at the moment, forcibly raised Rune's resistance to 40%.

Almost immune to half of the negative status and damage associated with rot.

It’s like a fortress!

However, the last word "him" on the Flavor King Mushroom panel made Lu En feel bad.

He turned his head and looked at the pink cradle beside him, where a two-meter tall man wearing a red skirt, blond hair, pink hairpins, and a white apron was sleeping sweetly.

Is this Little Red Riding Hood?
His hair was extremely luxuriant, his face was unkempt, and his exposed calves had thick, long hair that was already curled.

But fortunately, this guy didn't snore.

Rune held his breath and tiptoed towards Little Red Riding Hood.

He swore that he had never been so nervous in his life.

Even when facing those terrifying monsters, he is full of fighting spirit.

But facing Little Red Riding Hood in front of him, he couldn't muster the courage.

Afraid that the other person will wake up suddenly
Thinking about that scene makes me feel horrified.

Rune's eyes glanced at the key on Little Red Riding Hood's waist.

A solitary colorful toy key hangs on the right side of his waist.

On the left, there is also a colorful toy dagger.

Regarding Little Red Riding Hood and the things on him, Rune didn't even dare to use his prying eyes.

Colored Crow also said before that although Little Red Riding Hood is in a deep sleep state, this sleep is very light.

For slightly more powerful people, Rune's use of Peeping Eyes to explore will definitely wake them up.

Calmly, he quietly reached out his hand to Little Red Riding Hood's waist.
Great, got the key successfully.

The moment he stopped his hand, Lu En's hand was caught off guard by a big hairy hand.

"Huh? Brother, why do you want to take Little Red Riding Hood's key?"

Typical kid voice.

Rune's hair stood on end.

Little Red Riding Hood's hand was so strong that Lu En couldn't resist.

His eyes were filled with tears, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

"Brother, please speak!"

Rune was speechless.

Little Red Riding Hood frowned, "It's all my fault for waking me up. I've been suffering from insomnia recently."

"If brother can put me to sleep, the key will be given to you."

Little Red Riding Hood stared at Rune with her thick eyebrows, big eyes, and long eyelashes, making him feel uncomfortable.

Lu En took a deep breath, looked at Little Red Riding Hood in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Turning his eyes to the bedside, a book of "Bedtime Stories" came into view.

Rune sat on the edge of the bed, opened the book, and began to read.

"A long time ago, there was a brave and wise captain"

Little Red Riding Hood pulled her fan quilt, buttoned her ears, and continued to stare at Rune, then quietly listened to the story.

Lu En held the storybook and read it over and over again. The more he read it, the more something seemed wrong.

Why does this story seem to be writing about itself?
He looked at Little Red Riding Hood, who was still full of energy and didn't look the least bit sleepy.

Helpless, Lu En could only continue reading.

I thought about killing ten thousand black snakes, thinking about the deal with Chris, and thinking about cutting off the head of the Hydra.
One hour, two hours, twelve hours passed.

Little Red Riding Hood's eyes were still wide open and she was getting more and more excited.

Lu En was a little tired.

A whole day has passed until I read the last page.

Little Red Riding Hood still didn't fall asleep.

"Hey, it seems that my insomnia cannot be cured." Little Red Riding Hood sighed, "You must be thirsty, brother, drink some water."

As he spoke, a cup of light yellow liquid was brought from the side.

Rune frowned tightly and immediately activated his prying eyes.

[Lemon honey water: After drinking it, within twelve hours, you will ignore any illusions below sequence 4, and your spirit will fall into a (hyper) state]

After confirming that it was not what he imagined, Lu En took a sip. It's sour and sweet, and tastes pretty good.

After drinking the lemon and honey water, Lu En suddenly felt dizzy.

The scene in front of me changes.

He was still standing in front of Little Red Riding Hood's bed, maintaining the posture of holding the key.

Little Red Riding Hood showed no sign of waking up and lay on the bed sleeping peacefully.

"Is it an illusion?"

Rune was confused.

But on the status bar, the time for lemon honey water continues!
Rune looked at Little Red Riding Hood on the bed, feeling shocked.

"Take the key and use it."

After saying this in a low voice, he took off the key and left in a hurry.

The big snail eating leaves outside saw Lu En and still stared at him curiously with its big eyes.

After getting the key, Rune let out a sigh of relief.

According to Colorful Crow, you can go back along the path on the right.

This is actually a circle!

The journey back was easier than imagined.

With the blessing of lemon honey water, there was no obstacle at all along the way.

The environment in the forest no longer has any effect on Rune.

Ten minutes later, Luen returned to the street sign.

Colorful crows dance happily on street signs.

But the threatening words in its mouth never stopped, "Damnable human, hurry up and break the curse and let me hunt you down!"

"If you are lucky enough to escape from my pursuit, you can get what you want, the key items of the advanced sequence."

"Remember, run faster, otherwise it would be pointless if I chase you!"

Luen raised his eyebrows and approached the street sign with the toy key.

In the next second, the surrounding scenery immediately changed drastically!

The surrounding trees seemed to be pushed away by an irresistible force, revealing a secret path from the middle.

The colorful crow behind him fluttered its wings and flew directly towards Rune!

Draw your gun quickly!
Rune immediately started running away, slightly faster than Crow.

Speeding through the trail, along the way, many strange beings poked their heads out to see what was going on.

But as soon as he saw the crow behind Lu En, he immediately hid back in the forest.

The crow behind him was also extremely noisy at this time, "Haha, is this all you have? I will speed up and catch up with you soon!"

When Lu En heard this, he actually had some concerns in his heart.

The crow behind him swooped from the air, and he dodged, and then several smoke bombs quickly exploded around him.

Smoke quickly enveloped the trail, and the crows in the sky couldn't distinguish Rune's traces.

It could only use colored flames to blast wildly, but it could not hurt Rune at all.

In ten minutes, Luen quickly crossed the trail and used sixteen smoke bombs to successfully avoid the crows.

Ahead, a golden treasure chest was placed at the end.

At the last meter of the trail, when Rune stepped out of the forest, the colorful crows he was chasing behind him immediately turned in a circle and hovered for a while.

It landed on a branch at the edge of the forest and looked at Lu En with proud eyes, "Boy, for the sake of the key you stole, I will spare your life. Don't come to this place again. It's very dangerous!"

After saying that, it flapped its wings and returned to the forest with monstrous flames!

Lu En looked at the terrifying flames and knew in his heart that what the other party said was true.

When I'm chasing him, I'm afraid I'll let him go into the sea.
It's just that things in the forest are a bit unlucky to encounter its flames.

Looking at the treasure chest in front of him, Rune opened it cautiously.

This time it seemed like there were four adventures, but in fact there was only one.

Grandma Wolf, Street Sign Crow, and Little Red Riding Hood are all a series of adventures, but the mantis man at the front is a bit special.

But he didn't actually trigger the Mantis-related adventures.

Look at the items in the treasure chest,

Apart from the Taste King Mushroom, this should be what he gained from entering the Forbidden Forest this time.

[Wonderful Object]: Forbidden Forest·Explorer’s Proof
[Level]: Level 1
【ability】:
① Prove that you have completed exploration in the "Forbidden Forest" of the Seven Forbidden Lands

-
The heart fruit is what "Sir" mentioned before.

Judging from what the other party said, it seems that everyone who "clears" the Forbidden Forest once will definitely receive relevant rewards.

The explorer's proof, a small badge, surprised Lu En.

The career of a pirate requires reputation and deeds among pirates.
Exploring mysterious places and obtaining treasures is also a kind of destiny.

Therefore, this badge may be helpful to my promotion.

Silver Sands Harbor, Emerald Bar.

"Hey Jazz, good evening."

A young man in simple attire sat down at the bar unceremoniously.

Then he slapped the dagger and flintlock in his hand on the bar,
"Three large cups of hot lover."

Jazz saw the visitor, smiled, and then began to mix drinks in silence.

This guy is an old acquaintance.

The first mate of the Blue Tide Ship, a top Sequence 7 transcendent, and the "Swordsman" Molde who is slightly famous among pirates.

This guy's "top level" is not ordinary.

It can be said that in Sequence 7, it is difficult to find someone who can match him.

If he hadn't been stuck in his destiny, he would have advanced to Sequence 6 long ago.

With his ability, he should have been poached by other powerful ships to show off his talents.

But in order to repay the captain for his unexpected life-saving grace, he chose to stay.

Molde drank two large glasses of wine, sighed happily, and then drank the third glass.

He looked at Jazz and shrugged, "You should know why I'm here."

"Of course." Jazz seemed to have expected it, "but you came earlier than I thought."

"Where is that guy?" Molde shook his wine glass, "If you dare to kill the members of the Blue Tide, you should be prepared to die."

Among pirates, especially those who are somewhat famous, they cherish each other's lives very much.

Unless they are completely at odds with each other, they generally won't kill each other.

Instead, hostages will be left in exchange for ransom.

Luen's unceremonious killing was equivalent to declaring war on the Lanxi fleet and everyone associated with it.

They can accept the "failure" of pirate members.

But "death" is still death in Silver Sands Port.

They can't stand it.

Jazz did not answer Molde's question directly, but said calmly: "You are no match for him."

Molde frowned slightly, "He is a strong man in Sequence 6.?"

"Probably not. I haven't heard of his name. He calls himself 'Captain'." Jazz said.

"Captain." Molde thought about the name for a moment, "Since it's not Sequence 6, I should give it a try. I've never been afraid of anyone in Sequence 7."

He took a photo of a check, and the words "2000" gold coins on it were very touching.

Jazz accepted it happily, "He went to the Forbidden Forest."

"Forbidden Forest?!" Molde couldn't hold it any longer this time, "Why did he go to that damn place? Is it because he wanted to be promoted to the rank? Bullshit!"

If that guy goes to the Forbidden Forest, he won't find anyone to take revenge, and he'll waste two thousand gold coins in vain.

What a bad luck!

He sighed dejectedly and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Jazz, "How do you know that he can't come back if he goes to the Forbidden Forest?"

Molde looked contemptuous, "How many people can come back from that damn place? The one-quarter chance everyone talks about is just a rough estimate. You and I both know how many places there are. horrible."

Their conversation was not hidden, and all the pirates around them heard the conversation.

"Pirate 'Captain', Massacre"

"Kill the bosun of the Blue Tide ship."

"To the Forbidden Forest"

They heard all these words without missing a beat.

They all sighed and discussed that a really powerful pirate might be able to create some legendary stories.

As a result, we entered the forbidden forest.

Pity.
The more Molde thought about it, the more depressed he became. He turned back to the bar and said, "Five more cups of hot lovers!"

One glass after another, the spicy wine enters the stomach, bringing a feeling of tipsiness.

"Damn bitch 'Captain', died like this?" Molde was a little drunk, "It's boring!"

At this time, the door of the bar was pushed open.

The pressure like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood swept over everyone present.

"I seem to hear someone scolding me?"
