Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

However, since he couldn't see Li Fan at all, and Wu Yin used the distance of Li Fan and many other things to cover him, Barton couldn't find him either, thus forming a strange relationship among the group.

Soon, Patton reached the edge of the pond.

Chapter 76 The Crisis of the Mushroom Forest

After Barton arrived at the pond, he cautiously looked around to make sure no one was there before carefully exploring the mushroom grove beside the pond.

The pond looked very clear, and the surrounding soil was a bit damp, providing a perfect living environment for these mushrooms.

The mushrooms grew sparsely around the pond, but in one place they grew exceptionally abundantly, standing there in large patches.

Barton guessed that Wuyin and the others might have buried the note where the mushrooms grew the most, so he approached to investigate.

But when he got closer and saw what the mushroom looked like, he couldn't help but make a comment.

"Wow, this mushroom is really ugly. Why is there a gap and a lot of skin in the middle of the white spots on it?"

Patton felt a chill run down his spine and got goosebumps all over his body.

Seeing the strangely shaped mushroom, he became more wary.

There was a branch not far away. Barton picked it up and poked the nearest mushroom with the branch.

Suddenly, the black slit in the middle of the mushroom's white dot opened, and the eye inside rolled around a few times before staring intently at Barton, startling him greatly.

His face instantly darkened as he stared at the mushrooms, a tremor running through him.

This mushroom was incredibly strange, but the eye inside it just stared silently at Patton without making any other move.

Wuyin was hiding behind a dilapidated house not far away, observing Barton's actions. Seeing that Barton was frightened by the strange mushroom, he thought to himself.

"Don't give up easily. You are the most authoritative leader of the Ugly Kingdom."

For the first time, Wu Yin so desperately wanted Patton to do something as impressive as the leader.

By the pond, Patton was also assessing the potential gains from this operation.

The mushroom remained silent, but the rule slips in the supernatural world were extremely important, as they could prevent most of the Chosen Ones from dying from violating the rules.

So he tentatively took another step closer to the mushroom forest.

The mushrooms seemed to sense something approaching, and rustling sounds came from within.

However, the mushrooms didn't seem to be moving at all from the outside, so I wonder if there's something even more terrifying inside.

Upon hearing the sound, Patton immediately stopped and stared at the mushroom forest in front of him, fearing that danger might strike at any moment.

Li Fan waited on the side until the flowers withered, but he still couldn't do it himself.

After all, the eyes of these mushrooms had already been verified when he and Wuyin came to the pond last time.

Not only can they see him, but they can also pinpoint the person who startled them.

Patton hadn't fully awakened the mushrooms yet, and the note hadn't appeared.

But it was getting dark, and in the world of ghost stories, darkness is even more dangerous.

Li Fan was about to add fuel to the fire, so he walked over, picked up a dry twig, and held it in his hand.

Since Patton wasn't getting any closer, the rustling sounds in the mushroom grove seemed to gradually diminish.

Patton glanced at the sky; the sun had already set, leaving only a lingering glow. He estimated that in a few more minutes, it would be completely dark.

Unable to wait any longer, he mustered his courage once more and prepared to head towards the mushroom forest.

Just as he lifted his foot, Li Fan quickly threw the dry branch where he was about to step down.

These dry branches make a sound when stepped on, and although the sound is not loud, it is particularly clear in this quiet environment.

Li Fan: Don't ask, I learned it from some old man.

Patton kept an eye on the activity in the mushroom forest and didn't pay much attention to where he was stepping.

As soon as he put his foot down, he felt something slightly protruding under his feet.

Patton's pupils contracted sharply, and he tried to take a step back, but it was too late.

A soft "click" sounded, particularly jarring in the silence.

The rustling sounds that had almost disappeared in the mushroom forest were amplified by this sound.

Patton looked again and saw that almost all of the strange mushrooms had opened their eyes.

They swayed their mushroom caps slightly, like human heads shaking their heads on the ground.

As they swayed, the mist in the middle of the pond slowly moved toward them.

Barton immediately realized something was wrong and was about to turn and run away when a piece of paper suddenly fell down from the middle of the mushroom forest.

He paused for a moment, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

The fog was moving very slowly and would take some time to reach him; moreover, the fog didn't seem to be very powerful.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to abandon the note and run away.

After all, his own life is the most important thing, and Wuyin definitely knows the contents of the note. He can use a little trick to make Wuyin tell him the truth about the note.

Barton couldn't help but think to himself: Damn Silent, once I've used up all its value, I must devise a plan to kill it.

With his death, the Dragon Kingdom declined once again. The Ugly Kingdom could not only regain the interests of those opportunistic small countries, but also get a piece of the Dragon Kingdom's big piece of meat.

Silent, must die.

Seeing that Barton had already fled, Li Fan cursed inwardly.

"Coward."

He was prepared to risk going alone to get the note, after all, just because he could fool the innocent once didn't mean he could fool him twice.

While most of the mushrooms' attention is currently drawn to Barton, I can go up and grab the note.

Li Fan ran quickly to the mushroom forest, took the note that had fallen to the ground, and then quickly turned back and ran away.

But just as he touched the note, all the mushrooms locked onto him. Seeing this, Li Fan immediately gripped the note tightly and floated away.

At this moment, the white mist seemed to be sentient, and its movement speed suddenly increased.

Fortunately, Li Fan was in a soul state, and he floated away at a very fast speed, almost the same as the white mist. Under these circumstances, the white mist could not catch up with him at all.

But then he suddenly felt something was wrong with his body. His eyelids felt as if they were being pressed down by a jack, incredibly heavy. He couldn't muster any strength, and every step he took was extremely difficult.

But the speed of the white mist remained unchanged, and the distance between the two instantly closed.

Overwhelmed by drowsiness, Li Fan even had a fleeting thought of ignoring everything and simply collapsing into sleep.

But his willpower compelled him to continue his escape with heavy steps.

He tried to open his eyes to see where Wuyin was, but many double images gradually appeared before his eyes.

Although Patton was moving relatively slowly, he noticed that the white mist seemed to be flowing in another direction and was not swirling around him.

He considered going back to retrieve the notes, but seeing that the sky was almost completely dark and remembering the eerie mushroom, he ultimately decided to return to his room first.

We'll talk about other things later.

The white mist behind Li Fan was getting closer and closer to him. A large patch of white mist was already clinging tightly to Li Fan's back, and his back was quickly soaked by the moisture in the white mist.

Worse still, the white mist seemed to be stuck to his back, desperately dragging and pulling him backward.

Chapter 77 Eyes with Common Points

Li Fan struggled to escape the fog, but he felt increasingly drowsy.

The moment Li Fan was locked onto by the mushroom, Wuyin rushed forward.

Barton had already fled before realizing something was wrong, so he didn't see Wuyin rushing towards him from behind.

Just as Wuyin was a few steps away from Li Fan, Li Fan could no longer hold on. His eyelids gradually drooped, and then he lay motionless like a corpse, being dragged backward by the white mist.

The distance between the two was about to grow even greater, and Wuyin didn't have time to think. She jumped forward and lunged forward, closing the distance between them a little.

This distance was just enough to put Li Fan into Wu Yin's personal toolbar. The next second, however, Li Fan suddenly disappeared, turning into a beam of light and disappearing into Wu Yin's brow.

Wuyin fell to the ground, but after Baiwu realized that Li Fan was gone, he did not continue forward and attacked Wuyin instead.

Wuyin looked up and saw a note in the white mist, the very note that Li Fan had received.

The note in Li Fan's hand did not enter Wuyin's personal toolbar; instead, it fell directly to the ground and into the white mist.

The white mist gently lifted the note, then slowly drifted towards the pond before receding.

By then it was completely dark. Seeing this, Wuyin could only get up from the ground and pat the dirt off his body.

The nighttime ghost story instance will be more dangerous, and I have no other thoughts to think about today, so I can only return to the dilapidated wooden house at the spawn point.

Back in the dilapidated hut, Wuyin was too lazy to release Li Fan again. Anyway, he was already unconscious, so it didn't matter where he slept.

He had already explored the house before but found no useful clues, so he lay on the bed and began to recall all the clues he had discovered that day.

This is something he does almost every day in the world of ghost stories.

Exploring the ghost stories at night is rather dangerous, while going straight to sleep seems like a waste of time. This way, I can not only organize my thoughts but also make the most of my time.

The following clues were discovered today.

First, the condition for passing through the checkpoint is to escape the village, but the sloping hillside leading out of the village is covered with dry branches and has an extremely steep incline, making it almost impossible to climb up by manpower alone.

Secondly, Da Niu Niang's eyes can see Li Fan, and she seems to be hiding some secret.

Third, there is a note in the mushroom forest next to the pond. After obtaining this note, you will feel sleepy and be attacked by white mist. The mushrooms have many eyes, and these eyes can also see Li Fan.

Wait, the eyes...

Both the big cow's eyes and the eyes on the mushroom can see Li Fan. Could there be some connection between the two?

Maybe we can try tomorrow and see if the other villagers can see Li Fan.

Barton must also have a very important clue, or even... a clue about how to pass the game.

But the leader of the Ugly Kingdom should have watched every ghost story livestream and know the importance of the notes in the ghost stories. Logically, he shouldn't be so cowardly.

Perhaps we should try to get him to talk.
