Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 303: The Survival Rules of the Rift

This was also the first time that Li En encountered a situation where, after clearing the entries, the host not only did not recover, but was completely parasitized.

Perhaps this is the horror of the crack.

No wonder the entry will prompt you not to clean it easily.

This is simply a death warrant.

[Points +2000]

After receiving the prompt, Li En did not hesitate, pulled out Enzo, and gave Marvin a good beating.

Marvin's body was split into two, the parasitic spider died, and a blood-stained gift crystal fell out.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces turned pale and they felt vaguely uncomfortable in their hearts.

Even though they all disliked Marvin and thought he deserved to die, the way he died was still hard to accept.

After all, he was once a human being, but now he has become a monster.

"These spiders actually parasitize humans!"

"It's really terrible."

"Does this mean that all these people hanging on the wall have been parasitized?"

The adventurers talked among themselves, looking at the human-shaped cocoon swaying in the wind.

"Yes, these people are beyond saving. Everyone must be careful here. Once parasitized by a spider, it is equivalent to a death sentence."

Li En said to everyone that this was more deadly than being bitten by a fog wolf, because the pollution brought by the fog wolf could be cleaned up, but after the spider parasitized, even if the entry was cleared, it would be difficult to escape the fate of death.

To be more precise, clearing entries will accelerate death.

If it is not cleaned, the spider daughters will parasitize in the body and only manipulate and utilize the host.

"Leader, didn't you just catch Calvin's entry?"

Noah clearly saw Li En grab Calvin's head. After this action, Calvin began to transform into a spider monster.

She suspected that she had seen it wrong, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity and decided to ask directly.

In her opinion, the expedition team is now a whole and there should not be any secrets, otherwise they will not be able to survive in the rift for long.

Hearing Noah say this, the leader of the Fierce Dragon Adventure Group laughed heartily.

"Haha, Captain Noah, are you still asleep? How is it possible in this world that someone can grasp other people's entries?"

"Yes, if Captain Li En could do such a thing, he shouldn't be in the North. He should be invited to the Wise Men's Academy as a guest, or sit on the throne of the Pope."

"I'm afraid only the child of the Tiger God can do such a thing."

The other members of the adventure team also started talking about it, as if Noah had told a bad joke.

The depressing atmosphere was relieved by this cold joke, and everyone's mood became better.

Noah scratched his hair, a hint of shyness flashed in his narrow eyes. He felt embarrassed for what he had just said, and said an even more outrageous possibility.
"Okay, maybe the leader is just pulling Calvin's hair."

"Yes, Captain Noah, I did grab his hair. I couldn't bring his body back, so bringing this hair back would at least allow his relatives to hold a funeral for him. Even though Calvin is a bastard, he is a member of the Moria family after all."

Li En revealed the strand of golden hair in his palm.

Of course, this was grabbed while cleaning up the entries, just for the purpose of covering up.

When everyone saw the lock of golden hair, they all showed regretful expressions.

"Leader, you are truly loyal and righteous."

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you, like Calvin, are from the Moria family."

Li En glanced at Sophie secretly.

She was one of the only two people at the scene who knew about the situation.

Sophie was currently conscientiously teasing her new pet, Furball, and didn't pay any attention to what he was saying.

That’s right, even if Sophie knew, she would still stand on my side.

Li En thought so.

He was just worried that he had told too many lies in front of Sophie and she would not believe him anymore.

Afterwards, Li En ordered the adventurers to cut down all the human-shaped cocoons hanging from the top of the cave and place them in a row inside the cave for Li En to deal with.

There were 37 people in total, including Calvin and the Iron Knights, as well as members of other expedition teams.

After harvesting the points, Li En immediately killed it and completed the thorough cleanup.

A total of 74000 points were obtained, and the total points reached 3027200, which is still some distance away from the million mark.

I harvested 37 Blessing Crystals, plus the previous 38, a total of 75 Blessing Crystals.

Unfortunately, the gift crystals they obtained were very small, similar to crystal fragments.

75 fragments are combined together to form a pearl-sized crystal.

There is a special attraction between the gift crystals. Once they are put together, they will automatically fuse.

It seems that it was originally a whole, but was divided into pieces.

"The crystal radar shows that there are no more Blessing Crystals here. The Spider Queen should not be here. Mark this. If you haven't reached the next cave before dark, return here and rest."

As Li En spoke, he drew a map of this place on the parchment. Along the way, he drew the places he had explored on the map. This was to facilitate the subsequent retreat and to avoid getting lost in the cracks.

There is no point in taking this map out, because this is not the first time that the people from the North have explored the rift, but they did not leave behind any map. This only means that the geographical environment will change every time they enter the rift.

The adventurers gathered the bodies of the dead together and burned them, then began to clean and mark the cave.

In the blazing fire, the two adventurers in charge of burning the bodies looked at the bald man's corpses and asked soul-searching questions.

"Is there a custom of plucking the hair of the dead in the leader's hometown?"

"Didn't you hear what the leader said just now? They were taking them back so their families could bury them properly."

"But do we need to pull out so many? And the team leader doesn't even know these people, right?"

"Maybe he pulled too hard and pulled too much. How do you know the team leader doesn't know them? The team leader is from the Moria family. Maybe he already knew them."

Hearing the two whispering, Li En stood behind them and patted their shoulders.

The two adventurers trembled and protected their heads, fearing that Li En would pull out their hair.

"Let's go, let's go."

Li En's mouth twitched and he turned and left.

The two adventurers immediately caught up with the team.

The further down we went, the more the carriage became a burden to the team, but we had to bring it with us.

Because there are important supplies in the carriage, including food, water, healing medicine, sleeping bags, blowers, and heaters. If the carriage is lost, the team will be relieved, but it also means that they will soon starve to death or freeze to death.

The team originally had thirty brown bear mounts, but now there are only ten left.

Two brown bears were responsible for pulling the carriage, while the other members rode on its backs in groups of two or three.

This can greatly reduce physical exertion, and brown bears can climb faster than humans in the snow. These specially trained brown bears have all been on the battlefields of the North, and their endurance is much greater than that of humans.

However, they cannot be allowed to carry loads for a long time because food is scarce. Brown bears should hibernate in winter. Letting them fight in a cold place is a bit against the laws of nature. The amount of food they are given is also small, which makes it impossible for the brown bears to have the physical strength to support carrying loads all the time.

So during the four hours of the day, the members of the adventure team all walked on their own, and only after four hours did the brown bears need to help.

As the team continued to walk down, the blizzard became more and more severe.

The 23-member expedition team moved slowly down through the white snow like a winding snake.

The wind was howling, blowing up snowflakes that were flying in the air, like a sudden white storm.

The blizzard became more and more violent, and every team member's face was mercilessly blown by the wind and snow. The pace of the brown bear mount began to become heavy, as if every step had to fight against the power of nature.

The snowflakes swirled in the air, then fell mercilessly on the heads and shoulders of the team, and were then blown up by the merciless wind, forming white curtains.

The breath exhaled by the team members condensed into white mist in an instant, and everyone's breathing became rapid.

Even wearing thick gloves, their hands were still frozen red, and the snow under their feet became more and more slippery. They had to be careful with every step to avoid slipping in this frozen world.

In the blizzard, vision becomes extremely limited. One can only see companions not far away, while the scenery in the distance is blurred by the wind and snow.

Everyone in the team was silently enduring the test of wind and snow. There were no extra words, only the sound of breathing and wind echoing in their ears.

Even though Li En already had the physique of a seven-star knight, he still felt cold, not to mention that most of the team members were four-star and five-star knights.

The female members of the Black Rose Adventure Group have already hidden in Hewen Field's carriage.

Hewen Field kept rubbing his hands, wrapped in thick fur, and cursing.

"This crack is really not a place for people to stay."

"Lord Hewen Field, why do you have to come explore?"

Inna asked in confusion.

"For status, of course."

Nancy responded to Inna's words.

Hewen Field shook his head. "Miss Blue Hair, I'm not here for status. I'm here for my dream."

"What is your aspiration?"

Inna asked.

"To become the next King in the North."

Hewen Field said with a smile.

Sophie and Li En walked at the front of the team. Maoqiu stood on Sophie's shoulder, emitting a dazzling light and becoming the team's indicator light.

This light not only guided the entire expedition team, but also attracted other expedition teams.

Liszt and his wives stopped Li En's team.
"It's you, you caught the glowing beast."

There was a flash of envy in Lister's eyes, not only because Li En was holding Sophie in his arms, but also because there was a glowing beast standing on Sophie's shoulder.

Li En's brows wrinkled slightly.
"If you guys are going to get in the way, I don't mind sending you to see the God of Tiger in advance."

"No, you misunderstood. We want to explore together."

After the last lesson, Liszt obviously learned his lesson.

Although their team also had searchlights, they were not as useful as the luminous beasts. The most important thing was that their carriages and supplies were destroyed in a battle. Now Lister just wanted to find other teams to rely on.

"Hewen Field, my cousin, we had some unpleasantness before, but I promise that as long as I get out alive, I will never discriminate against you again. Just let our team follow you."

Liszt yelled at the top of his lungs.

Hewen Field in the carriage pulled aside the heavy curtain, stuck his head out, and forced a smile on his face.
"It's cousin Lister. If you kneel down and beg me sincerely, I might consider it."

Lister frowned and looked back at his wives. There were originally 29 wives but now only 8 were left. The staff was reduced by two-thirds and the supplies were gone.

In contrast, only 30 of Li En's 23 people were left, and the carriages and supplies were still there.

A man has to bow his head under the eaves. Lister dismounted and prepared to kneel down to Hewen Field.

Hewen Field saw this scene, smiled and waved his hand, "Forget about kneeling, just tell me what benefits you can bring."

"I...I can pay you 5 Blessing Crystals."

Lister said.

"Five isn't enough, we need ten. And you can only follow. We can't guarantee your safety."

Hewen Field looked at Li En, "Is it okay, brother?"

Li En nodded slightly. Seeing that Lister had indeed learned his lesson and had just lost his wife, he agreed to their request.

Liszt handed the Gift Crystal to Li En and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

Li En shook his head and said that they could follow him, but he would not provide them with free food.

Liszt sighed and followed behind with his eight wives in dejection.

Hewen Field wrapped himself in two more layers of blankets, got off the carriage in the wind and snow, temporarily switched places with Noah, rode on Noah's bear back, and deliberately waited for Lister.

"Hey, Liszt, you have come to this day. You didn't really want to kneel down just now, did you?"

"Hewen Field, don't go too far. I admit that your team is indeed stronger than mine, but your relationship is definitely not as deep as ours."

Liszt snorted coldly.

"No matter how deep the feelings are, they still have to be cremated after death, right?"

Hewen Field took out a piece of dried meat from his arms and threw it to his cousin.

Liszt nervously took the jerky and took a bite. "My dog ​​wouldn't eat this kind of thing before."

"Then don't eat it. I'm just feeding it to the dog."

Hewen Field smiled.

Lister didn't bother with Hewen Field. There was probably no one else except Hewen Field who could provide him with food at this time.

"I didn't cremate them. They had been with me for so many years, how could I bear to cremate them? I buried them instead."

Liszt said sadly.

"What? Not incinerated?"

The smile on Hewen Field's face disappeared instantly. He snatched the jerky from Lister's hand and said, "You have a pig brain, you are not even worthy of eating dog food. You have caused us a lot of trouble."

"why?"

Liszt looked innocent, even a little angry.

How come he snatched the dried meat back? I only took two bites of it.

"No bodies may be left in the rift. Have you forgotten this rule? They might have already transformed and come looking for you in the middle of the night."
