Chapter 98 The Diseased Village (Part [-])



Chapter 98 The Diseased Village (Tenth)
【Shepherd Village】

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

The village chief, who is about [-] meters tall, is sitting at the dining table.

Even a thick windbreaker can hardly conceal his strong and even unreasonable body, and the oversized waterproof leather shoes that fall on the floor seem to be custom-made for him by a shoemaker in the village.

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

Black skin and pure black pupils,

A large hand full of calluses and painted with black runes lay flat on the table,
Such a village head seems very restrained at present, because a 'guest' wrapped in a black robe is sitting opposite him.

In front of the guests, there is a 'fine wine' specially prepared by the village chief - pale powder, bubbling and slightly fishy.

"Master Assistant, what's the matter with me?"

"Two humans are approaching the village..."

"It's the same as last time, is it a sacrifice that came to deliver death?"

"It's not the same, just two of them easily penetrated the "Human Tree Wall" cultivated by us, and broke through the first test designed by me without any damage.

Their performance is very good, and that adult also values ​​it very much, and may 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 time, and it was bestowed by that adult himself. "

A regular hexagonal ebony box is placed on the table, and the church logo is carved between the lids - newborn larvae surrounded by umbilical cords.

Even if the box is tightly sealed, you can still smell the 'breath of new life' in it.

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

Open the lid,
A blood-stained umbilical cord was contained in a disc shape.

When the village chief stretched out his hand, the umbilical cord actually squirmed.

The moment the two touched each other, the village chief instantly fell into the memories of his youth, and he could even clearly feel the vigor and vitality of that time.

Just when the village chief wanted to further connect 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 that you have established a "blood relationship" with the adult... If you have any behaviors that violate the church and the adult's will, this relationship will be forcibly cut off.

You will be kicked out of the ranks of the 'new people'. "

"I'll get the job done."

……

Cut back (Yi Chen and Jin)
On their way to the village, nothing happened, not even a single villager.

"It's strange, even if the spawned villagers don't hinder us too much, it's not like there are no one in the whole process, not even a watcher.

It seems to be actively waiting for us to pass, waiting for us to set foot on the village, which is an important place where the incident happened,

There are likely to be traps ambush inside the village, or perhaps the church occupying this place is brewing a special plan that we don't know about. "

Kim doesn't care at all.
"It's nothing to worry about...Only the weak like to procrastinate.

I have encountered many similar situations, and in the end no matter what means they used, I was still easily crushed by me. "

She still stepped on light steps, bouncing and walking in the front.

After a while

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

Little Putao also got out from the collar, and together with Yi Chen, stared at the spectacle in front of him:
"It's no wonder that since we entered the tree wall, we haven't seen any other animals except [chicken]... have they all been concentrated in the village?
What the hell is going on here..."

Yi Chen moved to a nearby higher point, observing a corner of the village that was completely sick.

According to the village map provided by the chicken mother-in-law, Shepherd Village was once the largest village in this valley and woodland.

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

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

Like a layer of tulle covering the village, any creatures that set foot in the village will inevitably be affected and eroded by this layer of psychedelic mist.

The mammals that once lived inside the tree walls all gathered in the village for some reason,
As far as the eye can see, the roads and building surfaces are crowded with the 'bodies' of animals, and it is even felt that these animals are the main part of the village environment.

The reason why it is described as 'body' is because the life and death and specific state of these animals cannot be determined.

Their bodies are fused with each other, sticking to the ground, affixed or hung on the surface of residential buildings, and even completely embedded in the soil and roads, for example:

1. You can see the bison covered with rabbits in the middle of the road, and the white whiskers similar to the tail of the rabbit are wriggling in the abdominal cavity.

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 back of the goat.

3. The strange swollen body with the characteristics of rats, pigs, horses and black bears crawls and crawls in the streets at the same time, quite slowly,

4. Lying on some large roofs... even the corpses of elephants floating, extremely swollen due to the strange gas accumulated in the body, with a pink luster like an oversized artificial balloon.

The elephant's trunk is raised high, and every breath will spit out a large amount of illusion material.

……

However, these animals all have one thing in common.

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

The fungi are connected to their bodies, and the surface of the mushroom cap has many holes, and the spore dust will be exhaled together with the breathing of the animals... It is this kind of dust that forms the psychedelic fog that envelopes the village.

in addition,

As far as the villages that can be seen so far, there is still no 'person'.

"Did you lure us into the village on purpose, or persuade us to detour through such an "empty city plan" and drive us to quickly go to the church in the back mountain?"
The current information is far from enough. Since it is in the investigation stage, it is better to find out all of them.

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

At this time, Little Putao suddenly said:

"William, the village in front of you can already be counted as [Ash Field]...Although you have plants, clothes, and my protection, you still have to be careful.

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

"Is it an unnatural gray area?"understood. 』

Yi Chen spread his five fingers, put his hands on his face, and weaved a full protective mask.

"Kim, would you like me to help you make a filtering mask?"

Jin gently tapped the colorful mask on her face with her fingertips, expressing that she didn't need it... At the same time, her body also trembled.

"Ashland! Although the area is small, it is indeed a grayfield... [Environment] has been completely infected and chaotic. My body is actually refusing to step into the village. It's so interesting.

Come here, I can't wait to go inside and have a look. "

When Yi Chen jumped from a high point and walked along the stone road of the village, Jin took his hand very actively and interlocked his fingers.

There is no other meaning here,
"Contact-Explore"

It is a commonly used gray field survey method for novices. It refers to the need for the team to maintain direct physical contact when conducting gray field surveys for the first time.

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

Although Jin seemed very impulsive, he wanted to obtain the body of a strong man.But after all, this is her first time exploring the gray area, and if the people are gone, the fun will be gone.

When the two entered the village together,

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

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

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