Chapter 98 The Diseased Village (Tenth Update)

  【Shebolt Village】

The firewood burning in the fireplace of the village chief's house actually emitted billowing black smoke. It looked more like dried biological limbs than some kind of wood.

The village chief, who is about two and a half meters tall, is sitting at the dining table.

Even the thick windbreaker could not hide his strong and even unreasonable body. The oversized waterproof leather shoes lying on the floor seemed to have been specially customized for him by the shoemaker in the village.

 A wooden table of normal size is almost like a toy in front of him.

 Dark skin and pure black eyes,

 Hands covered with calluses and painted with black runes were placed flat on the table.

 Such a village chief seemed very restrained at the moment, because sitting opposite him was a 'guest' wrapped in black robes.

 In front of the guests, there is a 'fine wine' specially prepared by the village chief - light pink, bubbling and with a slightly fishy smell.

“Assistant Sir, what’s the matter with coming to my place?”

 “Two humans are approaching the village…”

“It’s the same situation as last time, is it a sacrifice that comes to die?”

“It’s not the same. Just two of them easily penetrated the “human tree wall” we planted and broke through the first test designed by me without being damaged.

  Their performance is very good, and the Lord also values ​​​​it very much, and they may be able to become a key [sacrifice].

 And you and your village will be their second test.

　　If necessary, let them destroy the entire village... After all, the Lord's ceremony has reached the final stage, and everything here has no meaning for 'His birth'.

in addition,

 This is the gift you have obtained through your hard work during this period, and it is personally given by the Lord. "

A hexagonal ebony box is placed on the table. The church's symbol - a newborn baby surrounded by an umbilical cord - is carved between the lids.

Even if the box is tightly sealed, you can still smell the "breath of new life" inside.

When the village chief saw this thing, his whole body began to get excited. Everything he did was for this moment, to get this gift that could give 'new life'.

 Open the lid of the box,

An umbilical cord with remaining blood stains is stored in a disk shape.

 When the village chief stretched out his hand, the umbilical cord actually started to squirm.

 The moment the two came into contact, the village chief instantly fell into the memories of his youth, and he could even clearly feel the vigor and vitality of his body at that time.

Just when the village chief wanted to make a further connection with the umbilical cord.

The black-robed assistant suddenly reached out and pressed the village chief's wrist, temporarily interrupting the connection process.

"Remember! Once you get the umbilical cord, it means you have established a "blood relationship" with the adults... If you do anything against the church or the adults' will, this relationship will be forcibly severed.

 You will be eliminated from the ranks of the ‘new humans’. "

 “I will get the job done.”

 …

 Cut back to (Yi Chen and Jin)

On the way to the village, nothing happened, not even a villager.

“It’s strange, even if the villagers spawned won’t hinder us much, there won’t be no one at all, not even a monitor.

 As if actively waiting for us to pass by, waiting for us to set foot in the important place where the incident took place, the village.

There may be traps and ambushes inside the village, or perhaps the church occupying this place is planning a special plan that we don’t know about. "

Jin doesn’t care at all,

“There’s nothing to worry about…Only weak people like to delay.

I have encountered many similar situations, and in the end, no matter what methods they used, I was still able to crush them easily. "

She still walked with light steps, jumping and jumping at the front.

 After a while,

Village buildings began to appear in the field of vision. Even Jin quickly slowed down and finally stopped when he saw such a scene.

Little Putao also got out from between the collars, and stared at the spectacle in front of him with Yi Chen:

“No wonder we haven’t seen any other animals except [chickens] since we entered the tree wall...are they all concentrated in the village?

 What is going on here..."

Yichen moved to a nearby higher point and observed the corner of the village that was completely diseased.

 According to the village map provided by Chicken Granny, Shebolt Village was once the largest village in this valley woodland.

 In terms of area, it is even much larger than [Green Lake Town].

At present, the village that appears in Yi Chen's eyes is shrouded in a layer of psychedelic fog that is different from graying, mainly purple and red.

Just like a thin veil covering the village, any creature that sets foot in the village will inevitably be affected and eroded by this layer of psychedelic fog.

 The mammals that once lived inside the tree walls all gathered in the village for some reason.

Wherever you look, the roads and building surfaces are crowded with the ‘bodies’ of animals, and it even feels like these animals are an important part of the village environment.

 The reason why I use the word "body" to describe it is because it is impossible to determine the life, death and specific status of these animals.

 Their bodies are fused with each other, stuck to the ground, attached to or hung on the surface of residential buildings, or even completely embedded between the soil and the road, for example:

  1. You can see a bison covered with rabbits lying in the middle of the road, with white hairs similar to rabbit tails squirming in its belly.

   2. A goat covered in bats hangs on the edge of the roof, and there are even rudimentary bodies similar to bat wings growing on the goat's back.

  3. A strange swollen body with the characteristics of a rat, a pig, a horse and a black bear squirmed and crawled along the streets, quite slowly.

  4. Lying on some large roofs... there were even elephant carcasses floating in the air, extremely swollen due to the strange gas accumulated in the body, with a pink luster like an oversized simulated balloon.

The elephant's trunk is raised high, and a large amount of phantom substance will be spit out with each breath.

 …

However, these animals all have one characteristic in common.

 The surface of their bodies is covered with colorful and large fungi of different shapes (mostly found in the body of elephants).

The fungi are connected to their bodies, and there are many holes on the surface of the fungus, which will exhale spore dust with the breathing of the animals... It is this dust that forms the psychedelic fog that envelopes the village.

in addition,

 As far as we can see in the villages so far, there is still no "person".

“Did they deliberately lead us into the village, or did they use this “empty city strategy” to persuade us to take a detour and drive us quickly to the church in the back mountain?

The current information is far from enough. Since it is still in the investigation stage, it is better to find out everything.

 If you go directly to the church, you may miss some important details or even key clues. 』

 At this moment, Little Grape suddenly said:

　　　『William, the village in front of you can be regarded as a [grey area]... Although you have plants, clothing and my protection, you still have to pay attention.

 The guy who can create [Unnatural Gray Domain] is very difficult to deal with. Before finding this guy, you must ensure your own condition. 』

　　　　Unnatural gray area? knew. 』

Yi Chen spread his fingers and put his hands on his face to weave a fully protective mask.

 “Kim, do you need my help making a filter mask?”

Jin lightly tapped the colorful mask on her face with the tip of her finger, indicating that it was not needed...and her body began to tremble at the same time.

“The gray area! Although the area is small, it is indeed the gray area... [The environment] has been completely infected and chaotic. My body actually refuses to enter the village. It’s so interesting.

 Come here quickly, I can’t wait to take a look inside. "

When Yi Chen jumped from the high point and walked along the stone road in the village, Jin actually took the initiative to hold his hand and intertwined their fingers.

 There is no other meaning here,

　Contact-Explore”

 It is a gray area investigation method commonly used by novices. It means that when the team conducts gray area investigation for the first time, they need to maintain direct physical contact.

 Such contact can effectively prevent the dynamic environment between gray areas from separating the team. It can also detect each other's mental status and remind each other to reduce the possibility of mental invasion.

Although Jin seems to be very impulsive, he wants to obtain the body of a strong man. But this is her first time exploring the Gray Realm. If the people are gone, the fun will be gone.

　　When the two of them stepped into the village together,

The village seemed to feel the arrival of outsiders, and the spore dust that filled the air gathered in a targeted manner.

Even with the isolation of clothing, the body temperature of the two people is gradually rising, and a primitive biological desire begins to spread within the body.

Thank you to all the book friends who have subscribed to this page! I will work harder to write the next story.
