Chapter 44: Haunted Coal Mine!

Ye Qiu looked terrified because he suddenly remembered a post from his past life by Fang Ze.

The April Fools’ Day map incident had not happened yet.

At that time, Fang Ze posted about the coal mine being haunted at night, advising everyone to stay away at night!

Some skeptics went anyway and almost had a scare when they heard the sudden earthquake-like noise.

During that time, Fang Ze’s group almost always entered the Tower of Seals at night.

Once, someone even saw them entering the haunted coal mine at night!

But because only one person saw it, and that player didn’t pay much attention, it didn’t cause much of a stir.

Everyone had an unspoken agreement to stay away from the haunted coal mine at night.

Looking back now, this matter seems very strange.

Why did Fang Ze post such a post in his past life?

After these few days of understanding, Ye Qiu discovered that Fang Ze is a person who doesn’t do anything without a purpose.

Therefore, he couldn’t have done this just to give players a reminder!

Fang Ze is not that idle!

He is actually driving away other players, preventing them from discovering what is truly hidden in the mine!

So, what secret is hidden in this mine that Fang Ze doesn’t want other players to know about?!

Ye Qiu thought about this and looked at Fang Ze again.

Clearly, in this life, he hasn’t discovered anything.

This might be the butterfly effect caused by his rebirth.

Of course, it is also possible that Fang Ze really didn’t notice anything at this time.

"I think…"

"We might be in the right place."

When Ye Qiu spoke, everyone was shocked, "What do you mean, you say this is the key here?"

Ye Qiu looked serious, "Although I’m just guessing, I think it’s necessary to mention it to you."

"Think carefully, under what circumstances can the wolf in the puzzle be active?"

Under what circumstances?

Isn’t the wolf in the mountains?

How can it move?

Besides, even if it’s a living thing, it’s wrapped by a snake, how can it move?

Fang Ze suddenly exclaimed, "It’s nighttime!"

！！！

Hearing this, Zhang Qingyan was also surprised, "Why is it nighttime?"

Fang Ze looked at Zhang Qingyan, "Because at night, the snake becomes chaotic and blurry, unable to bind the wolf anymore."

"For example, during the day, we can see the snake coiled around the wolf."

"But at night, when we look at the wolf, we only see the wolf, and not the snake. In other words, the snake disappears at night."

"So, the wolf can move at night!"

Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, but there’s one more thing. Do you know in what situation wolves howl at the moon?"

"The first is when the Wolf King is asserting his status."

"The second is when wolves feel lonely or happy."

Fang Ze seemed to understand Ye Qiu instantly, as if they were on the same page!

"As night falls, the moon rises high, the imprisoned wolf is released, and howls at the moon?"

"And the first thing wolves lift is their noses, that earth-shaking noise is actually their howl?"

The others, used to their secret signals, were not surprised anymore. "Old Zhang, Fly, watermelon, want to play a round of Fifty Kais?"

Zhang Qingyan chuckled twice, "They’ve started again."

Fly sat down directly, "I won’t guess this time, I’ll just wait and listen for the results."

Brother Watermelon nodded, "Yes, I agree!"

Ignoring the four silly melons, Ye Qiu decisively affirmed Fang Ze’s answer, "So, we are in the right place."

"If we see the earthquake as the howl of a wolf, then it truly is the roar of the wolf."

"Breaking free from constraints truly fits the definition of joy, although loneliness can also be justified. Anyway, this line of thinking should be correct."

Fang Ze nodded, "That should be right, but I don’t understand one thing, if the mines have a teleportation mechanism at dawn."

"If the mystery only triggers at dawn in the mines, then we will definitely be teleported out."

"Isn’t this considered a bug?"

Ye Qiu suddenly laughed, "Why not see it from a different perspective, think of this as Wolf Lord’s final deception?"

"The sixteen mines are all wolves, so the mechanisms of the wolves and the mines must be interconnected."

"The officials must have thought about this, but didn’t change it. The only explanation is that it was intentionally designed this way."

"After all, the Wolf Lord represents deception, don’t you think?"

The last deception of the Wolf King…

Fang Ze nodded, "That makes sense. The two mechanisms are linked together to prevent players from discovering the secret here."

"But there can’t be no hints at all, so this wolf howl, which is actually an earthquake, can be considered a clue."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu immediately turned to look at the entrance of the mine. "Time is of the essence, now is the best opportunity, no matter what, I have to confirm this guess."

Stepping forward, Fang Ze said, "I’ll go with you, it’s not safe for you to go alone."

Ye Qiu smiled, "It’s okay, I can always respawn if I die."

Fang Ze patted Ye Qiu’s shoulder, "Life is precious, let’s try to avoid dying as much as possible."

Fang Ze was indeed very cautious.

Ye Qiu knew that Fang Ze was afraid of keeping the secret to himself.

It’s understandable for Fang Ze, as it’s important to be cautious.

They were not very close friends, just friends in a game, they couldn’t completely trust each other.

"Everyone is tired and hungry after a long day, go back and eat first, Shixuan and I will go check something and come back."

Fang Ze picked up a torch and prepared to enter the mine.

Brother Watermelon nodded repeatedly, "Yes, what the president said makes sense, we should all listen to the president, go back and rest well, tomorrow…"

Before Brother Watermelon could finish his sentence, Fly smirked.

"No way, Shixuan and the president are not in the front line, if we encounter any danger, who will protect us? Watermelon, why don’t you come with us?"

"Huh?" Brother Watermelon’s forehead immediately creased, "Please don’t, I’m scared of the dark…"

Du Yuan directly hugged watermelon, "Haha, what are you afraid of? We have torches, here, take mine, if you hold one, it’ll shine brightly!"

Watermelon’s face revealed a smile more ugly than tears.

Isn’t that a scary thing?

It’s fine if there’s nothing below.

But if there’s really something down there, wouldn’t he be like a front-line scout cannon fodder?

Isn’t this just a suicide mission?

No, no matter what, I can’t go!

"I…"

Before Watermelon could finish, Zhang Qingyan covered his mouth, "I understand, it’s all in the drink, no need to say more."

"Let’s go back to the cave together."

Brother Watermelon: (crying)

My hard-earned Resurrection Coin.

Remember, after a soul lifespan of one hundred years, dying once will reduce the soul lifespan by ten years!

This one death actually set me back ten years!

In the end, Brother Watermelon was still dragged into the mine by the crowd.

And when they returned to the bottom level again, they all couldn’t help but show their shocked and excited expressions!

"It looks like we guessed right!"

When everyone returned to the ground floor, a new entrance to a cellar suddenly appeared in the center!

The cellar entrance led to a deep staircase that seemed to go on forever.

"So, should we go in?"

Watermelon, "I think…"

"Go in!"

Watermelon, "But…"

"Go in!"

Watermelon, "…"
