June 13th.
A bizarre world of gold.
A giant golden tree stands in the very center of this bizarre world.
An invisible force is constantly expanding the golden world.
This is the birthplace of the Golden King, one of the eerie monarchs, the origin world of the Golden Family, and the place where Tan Tong resides.
However, this is the second son of the Golden Family in the present day.
It is no longer in the golden city under the golden tree.
Instead, it is located at the very edge of the eerie world of the Golden Tree, beneath a lake on the verge of a chaotic storm.
This lake is extremely close to the chaotic storm outside. Just one more step forward and you'll be in a destructive storm capable of easily annihilating a fourth-tier saint or a despair-level monster.
Moreover, the lake will move automatically as this golden world expands, remaining at a position just one step away from the chaotic storm.
The lake is as blue as the sea and as calm as a mirror.
The surrounding scenery is reflected in the lake.
A white-haired man dressed in black and orange religious clothing, carrying a black and orange scripture, arrived at the lake.
"Is this all the power he has?"
Looking at the lake, the white-haired man sighed in awe.
It creates a lake seal and places it near the edge of this eerie world of the Golden Tree, constantly moving itself as the eerie world expands, forever just one step away from the chaotic storm.
If any strange entity attempts to forcibly breach this lake...
Whether from the inside or the outside, the lake will automatically exile itself into the chaotic storm.
This incredible control and sealing power left the white-haired man in awe.
"Want to come out?"
The white-haired man spoke to the being suppressed beneath the lake.
Who are you?
A voice came from beneath the lake.
"I am here to rescue you from your predicament, the second son of the Golden Family in this generation."
The white-haired man revealed the identity of the being suppressed beneath the lake.
This is Tan Tong, who caused the bizarre invasion of Hongshan City. The person who suppressed him was Yuan Yiyong, the Ninth Captain of the Headquarters, who came to the bizarre world of the Golden Tree on the orders of the Great Xia King and achieved the seventh rank in five years.
That day, Yuan Yiyong arrived in the Golden Mysterious World.
According to the agreement, Tan Tong was to be suppressed, and this lake was the manifestation of Yuan Yiyong's suppressive power.
"Humans, what do I need to do?"
The water surface rippled slightly.
Tan Tong knew very well that what was above them must be human; if it were something supernatural, this lake would have already exiled itself into the chaotic storm.
He knew better than anyone that if he wanted to get out, he would have to make some sacrifices; he understood very well what the struggles between humans were all about.
"I need you to go to the Great Xia Kingdom, to the wilderness, and kill all the young contestants from Hongshan City."
The white-haired man said.
"The ace competition of the Great Xia Kingdom? Sure."
Tan Tong knew what the man meant by the competition, "but if I do that, I'll die."
He knew that doing so would enrage the ruthless King of Xia, and even his own father, the Golden King, would not be able to protect him.
"No one will find you. Tan Tong has already been suppressed here by Yuan Yiyong."
The white-haired man offered an explanation.
The black and orange scripture in his hand flew up and spun continuously in mid-air.
The calm lake surface automatically parted into a crack.
It's like a tiny crack appearing on the surface of a mirror.
Tan Tong, who was at the bottom of the lake, understood what the other person was thinking.
The opponent opened a tiny opening in Yuan Yiyong's seal, from which he could create a clone, whose strength was limited to the Nightmare level.
This way, the gap in the seal would not alert Yuan Yiyong, who had set up the seal.
"Who could possess such strength?"
Tan Tong asked softly.
Beneath the lake lay complete darkness, and he had no idea who the people outside were.
But in any case, this is better than him being suppressed here.
Nightmare level also has varying degrees of strength.
Golden tears of blood streamed from his eyes.
8boОК． Сом
This is the golden blood flowing through his veins.
Golden tears of blood fell to the ground and coalesced into the shape of a woman.
Jump upwards through the gap.
I wanted to see who it was, but there was no one left on the lake.
The gap closed automatically after the bloodline clone emerged, and the lake returned to its perfect, mirror-like state.
Only a faint vortex of light remained on the shore.
This is the passage opened for him by the person who created the rift. On the other side is the Great Xia Kingdom, and next to it is a map showing the area from Hongshan City to the capital.
"Humanity will be destroyed sooner or later."
The woman, Tan Tong, smiled, and her long arms emerged from her mouth, grasped the map, and took it into her body.
A naked body walked into the vortex of shimmering light.
She didn't know what the other person was thinking, who was plotting against her, or that he was being used, but none of that mattered.
The important thing is that she can achieve her goals.
"My dearest Ye Lai, I've come to see you again~"
"This time, you won't be able to get your hand out of my palm."
The whirlpool disappeared, and the woman's figure vanished, leaving only the calm lake surface.
It seems that nothing has happened here.
...
June 15th.
The door to the seclusion room finally opened again.
Ye Lai, looking refreshed, walked out of the seclusion room.
Is your seclusion over?
Tan Xiaoyun had been waiting outside the door for a long time. He knew that Ye Lai would come out today, so he waited here early to say goodbye to Ye Lai.
It's over.
Ye replied.
"How are you feeling? Did you learn a lot?"
Tan Xiaoyun expressed her hopes for Ye Lai.
"generally."
Ye Lai remained calm.
"Good luck! I'll work hard to catch up with you too!"
Tan Xiaoyun said to Ye Lai.
Ye Lai nodded slightly, left the secluded cultivation room, and headed towards the city gate of Hongshan City.
Today marks the start of the second match.
After Ye left.
Tan Xiaoyun entered Ye Lai's seclusion room.
Tan Xiaoyun's mouth dropped open at the sight before her.
The room was originally simple and clean.
It's now dilapidated and I dare not go there.
Sword marks and fist marks were everywhere.
There are also several large wounds.
"This is too strong, and he's only at the second tier."
Tan Xiaoyun said to herself.
Both he and Ye Lai were at the second tier, but the difference between them was simply too great.
Even if Tan Xiaoyun unleashed her strongest skill at her best, she wouldn't be able to cause any damage to the seclusion room.
...
On the towering city wall stands a large, entirely red gate. The red color comes from the blood of strange creatures from the wilderness who attempted to enter Hongshan City before the Skynet was established, and were killed beneath the city wall.
At that time, there were many strange wild beasts in the wilderness, and later they almost became extinct.
Once the Skynet system was completed, dedicated train routes protected by Skynet were established between cities, allowing people to travel to other cities simply by taking a dedicated train.
As for supersonic aircraft, a relic of the past, they have long since disappeared.
The city gates of Hongshan City are only opened one day a year.
The goal is to send the top 100 winners of the qualifying tournament to leave Hongshan City and head to the wilderness.
⑧Вσok． сОm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.Waiting at the gate today is the second person in charge who once led Ye on a tour of Hongshan City.
A man with the air of a scholar, his temples already graying, looked very refined.
After the two exchanged some words...
Ye Lai then officially left Hongshan City and entered the dangerous wilderness.
Follow the directions on the map.
And shortly after Ye left.
Mo Neng and Zhou Wei also left from here. A young man holding a cross watched the two leave from a distance before turning and leaving as well.
...
The wilderness is dangerous.
It's not just the eeriness of falling out of the gaps in space at any moment.
It also lies in the bizarre world that has turned out to be unpredictable.
Not long after I left.
As Ye Lai followed the route map, he discovered three strange worlds through the Explorer's Armband.
One is a barren rock, another is a rotten apple, and the last is a grain of sand in a stream.
Ye Lai dodged them all.
After walking for more than an hour.
"This place should be far enough away from Hongshan City."
Looking at the map, Ye Lai estimated that at his speed, even without using any skills, he should have traveled more than 400 kilometers.
Along the way, he also saw many city ruins.
A shattered building, an airplane with only its nose section remaining, a car completely rotten...
They are all remnants of the old era.
The concentration of the mysterious sealing necklace from the first generation has been adjusted to 50%. This concentration will attract bizarre creatures of nightmare level or below within a one-kilometer radius.
After breaking the seal on the necklace, Ye Lai slowed down and stopped moving forward quickly.
Not long after they left...
A strange tide appeared behind Ye Lai.
Its bizarre and strange appearance.
There were eerie, mutilated animal carcasses, thick, muscular legs running aimlessly, and giant chickens soaring through the sky...
There are creatures that run on the ground and those that fly in the sky.
The target is not anyone.
It was Ye Lai walking slowly.
Even walking slowly, his speed was fast enough, about 80 kilometers per hour.
"That's about enough, it's time to harvest."
It took Ye Lai about an hour to cultivate this strange wave.
Ye Lai also observed that almost all of them were eerie and terrifying, with only a few being truly horrifying.
Although in the wilderness, Skynet's protection is very weak.
Even if it's thin, it's still part of the Skynet network, so it won't produce too many strange occurrences.
Once it appears, the person in charge in a nearby city will be instructed to go and clear it up immediately.
"It's better than nothing."
Ye Lai stopped and turned around.
The eerie tide behind him never stopped, surging towards Ye Lai.
For some reason, these strange things have a peculiar smell.
Upon smelling these odors, they would involuntarily want to move and devour the human emitting the strange smell.
After seeing Ye Lai stop, the strange creatures became even more excited.
The eerie tide quickly covered Ye Lai.
The strange creatures that were farther away from Ye Lai tried desperately to get closer to him.
In this eerie, oppressive atmosphere.
A golden flash of lightning illuminated the scene.
It was Ye Lai who unleashed the Golden Light Externalization and Lightning Armor.
He traversed the eerie tide.
All the strange things blocking the way were crushed and pulverized.
No eeriness can withstand the golden lightning.
In less than ten minutes.
The eerie, dark tide was completely wiped out by Ye Lai alone.
Although there was no eerie red crystal.
However, the blue, eerie crystal increased by 60,000 as a result.
Once the supernatural is eliminated, it leaves no trace in reality.
"I need to find a special type of strange phenomenon; what I'm missing is a Dragon Soul Crystal."
Ye Lai was not happy about the increase in the blue, eerie crystals.
This was only his first experiment.
⑧ВооК． Com
The concentration of the sealed necklace was adjusted to 100%.
Ye Lai continued toward the capital, constantly watching the Explorer's Armband in his hand. If anything particularly strange happened, the armband would automatically alert him.
...
Above the white clouds, under the dim light.
A winged pig is soaring and looking down.
No strange creature dared to approach him, for he was the overlord of the flying strange creatures in this area, and anything stronger than him was automatically eliminated when it came into contact with the faint light above his head.
Although he was a flying pig, he was very clever, after witnessing a soaring eagle strangely swooping down on a glimmer of light and dying.
He knew exactly where the boundaries were.
He obediently flew in the dim light, casually devouring any other strange creatures he fancied. Within a hundred miles of this place, no strange creature was his match.
But today.
It spotted a human running.
The human was very fast and had a peculiar scent that attracted him.
He had been watching humans from above for a long time.
And they decided to eat it today.
Eating the bizarre is fine, but humans are the true food for the bizarre.
The figure swooped down.
The enormous pig's body generated tremendous force as it lunged forward.
Sparks burst from the pig's nose and spread rapidly.
This flying pig has turned into a flying pig shooting star.
The leaves are running.
I also received a notification in my arm.
Ye Lai looked up.
I saw a flying pig fall from the sky.
"Not bad, there's also a strange flying pig."
Ye Lai saw a strange hint about the flying pig.
It was a particularly terrifying and bizarre creature.
A smiling face is common, but truly unusual or eerie is rare.
Golden light and lightning appeared.
Ye Lai delivered a bizarre punch to the flying pig that was descending.
[Hint: You have defeated a special terrifying-level monster, obtaining 1800 Blue Monster Crystals and 400 Red Monster Crystals.]
I heard the notification coming from beside my ear.
Ye Lai turned around and continued forward.
This is the third strange and unusual creature we've encountered since setting off.
They hadn't walked far.
Ye Lai saw a familiar figure ahead.
With a sword at his waist, he charged forward, his figure as swift as the sword itself.
It's my old friend Feng Jingqi.
"Hey."
Ye Lai greeted him and came to stand in front of Feng Jingqi.
Judging from his expression, he wasn't happy.
"Um."
Feng Jingqi gave a simple response.
His speed increased again; in fact, he had already seen Ye Lai.
They also witnessed the bizarre scene of Ye Lai killing a person who fell from the sky with a single punch.
Feng Jingqi believed that he could also kill the strange creature that fell from the sky.
But I can't be as carefree as Ye Lai.
At least I'll be able to dodge the flying pig, and then fight him with the Wind Sword Technique after he lands.
He was deeply frustrated.
"Ye Lai, you are very strong, but I will definitely catch up with you."
After Feng Jingqi uttered those words...
It changed direction directly, thus avoiding Ye Lai.
Only Ye Lai was left behind, unaware of what had happened.
"???"
Ye Lai was baffled, but what he didn't know was that his performance had deeply challenged Feng Jingqi's competitive spirit.
...
June 17th, night.
Several tents are pitched next to the ruins of a building in the wilderness.
A group of seemingly civilized men were starting a fire here, with various kinds of food laid out beside them.
8BOOK.com
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The group of people were drinking beer and eating barbecue.
At night, such traces can be considered a scenic feature of the wilderness.
A female superhuman approached with some wariness.
She is an extraordinary being from Hongshan City.
Ranked eighty-sixth.
Her name is Yin Xien.
She was trying to determine whether the other person was a superhuman or a monster.
In the wilderness, besides the bizarre, there is another dangerous creature: the corrupted, who were once extraordinary but later became corrupted and bizarre.
Such a person may still appear human, but in their soul they already consider themselves a monster.
It can be described as a bizarre creature disguised in human skin.
"Since you're all here, let's eat together."
One of the men, a burly man with a thick beard, said boldly, "My name is Long Yong'an. What's yours?"
"Yin Ying".
Yin Xien gave a fake name.
Which city are you from?
Long Yong'an continued to ask, and threw a can of beer and a roast chicken toward Yin Xi'en.
Hongshan City.
Yin Ying accepted the food. She had actually brought her own food, but in order to get there as soon as possible, it was all portable food that tasted rather bad.
Where can I find these delicious foods?
"From Hongshan City? We're from Nanhai City."
Long Yong'an seemed very happy because Hongshan City and Nanhai City have always been on good terms. They are arguably the cities with the closest relationship, and many people from Hongshan City would visit Nanhai City.
Through communication with Long Yong'an.
Yin Xien gradually lowered her guard and joined the group.
"So you're from South Sea City. Then it's alright."
Yin Xien thought to herself.
A long-lost sense of security returned to Yin Xien's heart, and she developed an inexplicable fondness for the bearded Long Yong'an.
It happened without us even realizing it.
Yin Xien discovered that she had lost the ability to move.
They couldn't even utilize their abilities.
"The little girl from Hongshan City must be really fun to have sex with."
Seeing that Yin Xien had completely lost her ability to move, Long Yong'an laughed loudly.
"Yong'an, your skill is amazing; you can easily gain other people's trust."
"This is the fourth one, right? These guys who went to the capital to participate in the Ace Tournament must be able to exchange for a lot of good things."
The others also offered their compliments.
Long Yong'an possesses a special skill called 'natural familiarity', which allows him to easily gain the trust of others.
They weren't from Southsea City, but rather the corrupted beings of Southsea City, members of the Black Gathering.
Disguised as superhumans under the guise of familiarity, they cooperated with the abilities of others to control these unsuspecting superhumans.
After you've used it all, return to the Black Gathering's meeting point to make a trade.
Long Yong'an picked up Yin Xi'en and carried her into the tent. Only then did Yin Xi'en realize that there were three other girls inside the tent, but they were all dead.
The others came in as well.
Yin Xien had already guessed what would happen next. She wanted to commit suicide, but found that she didn't even have the ability to do so.
"Don't even think about suicide. You've been hit by our 'absolute anesthesia.' Apart from your brain, you can't do anything else."
The other two, with their pants down, said, "Don't worry, the effect can only be used once, and only for 24 hours. After we're done, you can die."
After a long, humiliating night.
Under Yin Xien's hateful gaze, Long Yong'an killed her, becoming the fourth corpse in the tent.
"We've found a new guy."
Someone was shouting outside the door.
Long Yong'an put on his pants and went outside.
It was already daylight outside; dawn had just broken.
He looked in the direction of his men and saw a young man moving at high speed.
His eyes narrowed slightly, allowing him to see the man's face clearly.
"He's a very handsome man. Come on, let's continue."
A group of people did not light a campfire, and one of the women among them began to sing.
Don't be too deliberate; pretend that you were discovered unintentionally.
...
As Ye Lai was moving forward, he suddenly heard singing.
It is a resounding song of humanity.
"Is someone singing?"
⑻bOok. COM
Ye Lai looked to the left ahead, where there were the ruins of an old building and a bunch of tents.
His excellent eyesight allowed him to spot the woman standing outside the tent, singing softly.
Name: Liu Mu
[Category: Devious One]
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Introduction: None]
[Note: The description of the Devious One is not displayed.]
The Devious One?
Ye Lai knew these people.
But this was the first time Ye Lai had ever seen such a being in Hongshan City.
"I wonder if killing a Deviant will yield crystals?"
With this in mind, Ye Lai changed direction and headed towards the tent.
At the tent, after seeing Ye Lai change direction.
These people all got excited.
"Get ready, another guy is coming."
They quickly crawled into the tent and hid the recently deceased Yin Xien and three other women.
When Ye came to the tent.
Who is it?
Long Yong'an emerged from the tent, looking at Ye Lai with a wary expression.
The woman who had just sung also stood behind the tent, and seventeen other people rushed out of the tent with weapons in hand.
Name: Long Yong'an
[Category: Devious One]
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Introduction: None]
[Hint: This is a scam]
...
In Ye Lai's eyes, all nineteen people in front of him were mutated beings.
Fourteen people are at the second rank, and five people are at the third rank.
Those who have become treacherous should be killed without mercy.
This is something that all extraordinary individuals know.
Ye Lai originally intended to take action directly.
"They are human beings, and should be extraordinary beings just like us."
The woman named Liu Mu said to Long Yong'an.
"Humans also need to find out exactly what kind of humans they are. What if they are monsters?"
Long Yong'an remained vigilant.
What a masterful performance of crying "stop thief!" with such impressive acting skills.
Ye Lai thought to himself.
"Tell me quickly, which city are you from?"
Long Yong'an continued to ask.
"Stop pretending, you bunch of weirdos."
Ye Lai had no interest in performing with them.
Vajra Body and Lightning Armor activated.
A flash of golden lightning streaked across the sky and plunged into the crowd.
With the first strike, he shattered a man's skull.
What surprised Ye Lai was...
The headless man did not die, but instead held Ye Lai tightly in his arms.
"We have already surrendered to the Lord of the Uncanny, and are no longer human."
A voice came from the headless body's belly.
"Big guy, take him down."
Long Yong'an shouted.
Although they didn't know why Ye Lai knew their identities as Deviant Ones, or where he had slipped up, their identities had already been exposed.
Then let's just kill Ye Lai.
Just one person.
They're not saints, at most third-tier. There are five third-tier people among their group.
"Remember to leave him with a whole body."
"Three female police officers in the crowd spoke."
⑻bOoK． CΟм

Leave him with a complete body.
Ye Lai didn't know why the female monster on the other side would say such a thing.
But that didn't matter to him.
A bolt of lightning struck out of nowhere.
He turned the people who were binding him into ashes.
[Thunder Armor Derivative Skill - Heavenly Thunder]
Using the Thunder Armor as a trigger, a bolt of lightning is summoned to annihilate a designated enemy; this can be used against multiple enemies or against one enemy at a time.
[Notification: You have killed a Tier 2 Common Class Devious One and obtained 1240 Blue Devious Crystals]
You can also get crystals by killing the Deviant.
Ye Lai was very happy.
One after another.
It was the same thunderbolt that struck out of nowhere and hit everyone else.
This move is extremely fast.
It was so fast that even ordinary superhumans couldn't react.
In the blink of an eye, six mutated beings were gone.
They didn't even use their skills.
Moreover, under the thunderbolts from the sky, all these mutated beings were reduced to ashes.
It's the sixth beep notification again.
Unfortunately, they were all ordinary professions.
Damn it!
Long Yong'an shouted, "Everyone, get up here!"
Such destructive power shocked him.
The remaining people each used their skills.
Eleven beams of light, each with a different skill, landed on Ye Lai.
All sorts of strange states appeared.
Some things will turn your face green, others will make you dizzy...
A great sword of icy light appeared in his hand, and he casually touched it twice, breaking all the status effects.
He took a strange step.
Two Ye appeared. The crowd fired at one of them, only to find it was an illusion. They then fired at the other one, only to find it was also an illusion.
[Deceptive Step Derivative Technique - Phantom]
It creates two moving phantoms, which are not lethal.
The real Ye Lai appeared behind one of them, and his cyan sword shadow easily took one of them away.
This is a high-level profession, and Ye Lai actually obtained a strange red crystal.
"High-level is like special and bizarre."
Ye Lai roughly understood the similarities between the distorted and the bizarre.
As Liu Mu sang a sad song, Ye Lai couldn't help but feel a slight sadness as well, and for a moment he had the thought of not wanting to take action.
When one person faces multiple mutated beings.
The most troublesome thing is not the damage, but the attributes that come with these inexplicable skills.
Ye Lai produced two more ordinary longswords and stuck them into the ground.
[Dual Sword Break Derivative Skill - Silent Sword Domain]
Inserting two swords into the ground will create a 50-meter radius of the inserted swords, which will have a 3-second blasting effect.
The Deviant, who had originally planned to use their skills, were shocked to find that they could not use them for the time being.
"This guy has something that can disable skills."
Someone shouted that it was the person who had used the absolute anesthesia skill on Yoon Hee-eun earlier.
Everyone wanted to escape.
But how quickly can the leaves arrive?
The great sword, gleaming with cold light, slashed out, unleashing a killing strike every ten steps.
A ten-meter-long area was covered with blue sword lotuses.
Then, lightning struck down from the sky.
There wasn't even time for a scream to escape.
Nine more people were killed on the spot by Ye Lai.
Nine notification sounds came, indicating that the crystals had increased.
Only Liu Mu and another person who had been given absolute anesthesia managed to break through.
But both of them were also badly injured.
"Xiao Song, run!"
Liu Mu said.
The two also discovered that their leader, Long Yong'an, was no longer there and had no intention of fighting; they only planned to escape.
8BOok.com
Liu Mu let out another strange song, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
Xiao Song then burrowed into the ground.
The fighting destroyed all the tents.
Four naked female corpses were revealed. Ye Lai could roughly tell what had happened from the marks on the corpses.
He had met one of them once; she was a girl named Yin Mu'en, from the fourth team.
An unusual glint of anger flashed in his eyes.
"They can't escape."
Ye Lai took a strange step.
After taking ten steps, he arrived in front of Liu Mu, who was still running, a kilometer away.
His hand gripped her throat.
The sound that was about to come out was stuck in his throat.
Then he crushed the throat to pieces.
Lightning erupted from his hand.
[Thunder Armor Extended Skill - Thunder Seal]
Completely destroy Liu Mu
[Hint: You have killed a Tier 3 Advanced Class Devious Being, and obtained 5111 Blue Crystals and 1242 Red Mysterious Crystals]
Another high-level profession.
There was another one. Ye Lai looked into the distance and saw a man emerging from the ground four kilometers away. It was a guy named Song Yizui.
He also saw Ye Lai, and a look of fear appeared on his face as he continued to flee into the distance.
Although she was scared, Song Yizui believed she could definitely escape.
He is very fast.
Faced with the fleeing Song Yizui, Ye Lai did not chase after him. Instead, he reached out his hand, grasped at the air, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, forming a spear-shaped bolt of lightning.
Having determined the location in his mind, he threw the lightning spear at the fleeing Song Yizui.
The lightning spear is extremely fast.
It flies in a parabolic trajectory to mid-air, then descends in a straight line.
Like a bolt of lightning striking down.
Song Yizui, who was trying to escape, was killed on the spot!
[Thunder Armor Derivative Skill - Heavenly Strike Thunder Punishment]
It forms a spear from lightning, senses the opponent's aura, and shoots it out. It will reach the top of the opponent's head at an extremely fast speed, and then unleash its power to form the might of thunder!
Its power far surpasses that of thunder from the sky.
The prompt in his ear told Ye Lai that this was also a high-level professional Deviationist.
Return to the tent.
Looking at the four bare corpses, Ye Lai used Heavenly Lightning to turn them into ashes.
Rather than being exposed naked in this wilderness, turning to ashes is the most suitable way.
A team of nineteen Deviant.
Eighteen people have already lost their lives at Ye Lai's hands.
Only one person chose to run away from the very beginning.
"You can't escape."
Ye Lai took out a radar from his bag. He had noticed Long Yong'an's escape from the very beginning, and just in case, he left a tracking device on the other person.
[Name: Tracking Radar]
[Category: Disposable Equipment]
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Description: This is a modified radar. Its original purpose was to find a bead that could grant wishes. Later, it was modified to track many things. It can be used seven times before it becomes unusable.]
[Hint: A small prop]
Ye Lai did not use the pipe he was looking for.
Because the smoke cloud is too slow.
Ye Lai hadn't originally planned to continue pursuing the fleeing Long Yong'en, but upon seeing the dead women, he felt a surge of anger.
He made up his mind: this man named Long Yong'an had to die.
Turn on the radar.
The radar showed Long Yong'an's location; during the time Ye Lai killed him, he had already run to the northwest, forty kilometers away.
And it is still moving forward, at a very fast speed.
Ye Lai looked at the radar and chased after the target.
...
On the other side, Long Yong'an, who was fleeing, held a booklet in his hand. The booklet contained nineteen names, all of which had been crossed out, leaving only his name.
8ЬОoK. Cом
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
That man!
What kind of monster is it?
Are they all dead?
The booklet in Long Yong'an's hand is a strange item that can record the life, death, and location of the person. Now, the names are crossed out, which means that all of these people are dead.
Long Yong'an guessed that they were no match for this young man.
But I never expected that they would all die.
Killing is much harder than winning; people aren't stupid, they'll run away.
"Monster, an absolute monster! I have to get back to the gathering right away."
Long Yong'an felt scared. He guessed that he had offended some top talent from a certain city, or even one of the top three prodigies.
In a panic, Long Yong'an sped up again, but even so, it wasn't until noon that he arrived at his destination.
A mountain range littered with the remnants of an old era.
At the foot of this mountain, there is a secluded gathering place of black tents.
This is the stronghold of the black community.
Upon arriving here, Long Yong'an finally felt relieved.
People were coming and going outside the tent.
It turned out to be a small gathering.
Everyone is a distorter.
Everywhere you look, there are people looking to trade, strange equipment and items, and even the corpses of superhumans.
Here, the corpses of superhumans are hard currency, because as monsters, their only true food, like the monsters themselves, is the flesh and blood of superhumans.
You can eat other things as well.
Long Yong'an arrived at a black tent.
This is a bar.
"Boss, a black beer, please."
Long Yong'an sat down at a table where other alter egos were sitting, but they obediently gave up their seats after seeing that the person sitting there was Long Yong'an.
With a team of nineteen people, Long Yong'an, who was himself at the third level, was not a nobody in the Black Gathering. In the Black Gathering, there was no order whatsoever.
If they really clash with Long Yong'an, no one will care if they are killed.
Okay.
The bar owner brought over a large glass of dark beer.
Long Yong'an drank it all in one gulp, savoring the taste of the extraordinary blood between his lips and teeth.
His panic finally subsided.
Dark beer is a product of secondary fermentation of beer and the blood of superhumans.
It is a special kind of enjoyment for them, the perverts.
Why do you look so unhappy? Didn't you just go hunting?
The bar owner asked, "Did you run into someone in charge?"
"No, the person in charge already sent out a notice, and I won't go out."
Long Yong'an waved his hand, unwilling to say more, "Take me to a private room, I need to vent."
"No problem."
The bar owner led Long Yong'an down to the basement and then called in several girls who were possessed by supernatural beings.
These girls are also mutated beings, but they are relatively weak and not very good at their professions, so they do this. However, this is not a disgrace in the Black Gathering.
They're all a bunch of people who have lost all sense of morality and ethics; selling their bodies is nothing to them.
Long Yong'an began to relax.
But what he didn't know was...
A young man followed him to the mountain range.
Looking at the cluster of black tents in front of him, Ye Lai knew that he had arrived at one of the strongholds of the Deviant Ones.
"Is this the stronghold of the black community?"
Ye Lai knew what such a symbol meant.
Within the Great Xia Dynasty, there exists an organization known as the Black Gathering.
It was formed by the Devious Ones, and everyone in it is a Devious One.
They usually roam the wilderness, and their distinguishing feature is a black tent.
These are also the targets that the people in charge need to clean up regularly.
It appeared six years ago, and despite being cleared out multiple times, countless people were killed or injured.
However, because it is located in the wilderness and is hidden, it can never be completely eradicated.
According to the records Ye Kan had seen, the founder of the Black Gathering was analyzed to be a sixth-level Saint Sect or higher level Deviationist, and possessed the special ability to sense danger.
Before any powerful figure could clean up the headquarters, they always managed to relocate it.
However, this is definitely not the headquarters. The number of headquarters should be dozens of times more than this. This is just a base.
"You haven't moved, do you feel safe here?"
8b0OK. C0m
Ye Lai looked at the radar and didn't move from Long Yong'an's position. Ye Lai also didn't intend to enter.
As a superhuman, he would be immediately recognized upon entering.
The mutated can impersonate superhumans, but can easily recognize them. The information states that mutated individuals have their own unique way of being identified.
Not intending to enter doesn't mean Ye Lai won't kill him.
Ye Lai reached out and grasped her hand loosely.
A lightning spear appeared in his hand.
But it wasn't thrown out immediately.
As the leader, Long Yong'an's strength is definitely at the third level. Although the Heavenly Strike Thunder Punishment is powerful, Ye Lai cannot guarantee that it will kill him in one blow.
"Long Yongen, you will be honored, because this is the first time I have used this move."
Ye said.
A layer of golden light covered the lightning spear that was flashing with electricity.
Next, Ye Lai exchanged for a second-tier fine longsword from the shop, and the sword energy materialized in his hand.
The longsword and sword energy merged into the lightning spear.
After doing all this.
Ye Lai gripped the spear and threw it.
The thunder spear pierced into the air.
It went all the way up to the top of the target's head, and then suddenly fell.
A bolt of lightning struck into a black tent.
Long Yong'an is enjoying the services underground.
Suddenly, I sensed a sense of danger.
Looking up, a bolt of lightning came into view.
"It's him!"
Upon seeing the thunder, Long Yong'an knew that Ye Lai had come after him.
"He actually dared to come to the black gathering."
Thoughts raced through my mind in that instant.
He activated his skill immediately.
A figure emerged from Long Yong'an's body.
Only an empty shell of Long Yong'an remained in the same place.
'Like a cicada shedding its shell.'
Long Yong'an's survival skills.
Thunder pierced Long Yong'an's fake back.
Long Yong'an's true form was preparing to escape.
But then he was surprised to find that he couldn't activate his skill.
An unknown force sealed his skills.
Then, thunder, mixed with golden light and sword energy, exploded out with a bang.
The entire black tent became a target of attack.
Golden lightning crackled, and sword energy exploded in all directions.
The black tent, along with the guests drinking inside, was wiped out by this attack.
Only a few powerful guests managed to break through the thunder and sword energy.
But it also suffered considerable damage.
The entire Black Gathering stronghold was immediately thrown into panic.
Such a blow.
Let them think that a person in charge has arrived.
The mutated beings began to flee in all directions.
Until a powerful aura descended.
A person wearing a black mask appeared and addressed the crowd:
"Don't panic, he's not a saint."
"..."
Upon seeing the black-masked man, the panicked monster finally stopped.
Because this is the person in charge of this black gathering stronghold.
A fourth-order Deceptive Saint.
His statement is the most powerful proof.
Looking at the black tent that was now just a deep crater, the Mystic Saint pondered, "It must have been an extremely powerful attack from a peak third-tier transcendent."
His gaze followed the traces of the remaining power in the space.

The origin of power.
There's no one left.
This means that the person who launched the attack left immediately afterward.
"We need to relocate our base."
The sage addressed the crowd.
In any case, this stronghold has been discovered, and once discovered, it must be moved immediately. As for whether to pursue the superhuman who unleashed the thunderous attack...
That doesn't matter.
As for these dead monsters, they are even less important; no one will avenge them.
...
After delivering that attack, Ye Lai immediately left the spot.
Each black stronghold is guarded by a monstrous saint, so once a superhuman discovers a black gathering stronghold, the right thing to do is to tell the person in charge its location.
But Ye Lai wouldn't do that. He was determined to kill Long Yong'an. By the time he got back and told the people in charge, they didn't even know when they arrived.
Ye Lai wouldn't say he wanted to go head-to-head with the Deceptive Saint, because he knew in his heart that there was still a gap between him and the Saint.
So that's what he chose.
A single, decisive blow from a distance, followed by a swift escape.
That special Heavenly Strike Thunder Punishment.
It was one of the killer moves he developed in seclusion.
[Stacked Killing Moves: Silent Sword Domain + Heavenly Strike Thunder Punishment + Golden Light Condensation + Ten Steps One Kill]
The sword he merged with and the long sword formed from the solidified sword light.
One is a silent sword domain that requires two swords to activate, and the other is infused with the Ten Steps One Kill technique.
[Hint: You have defeated a Tier 3 Warrior Monster, obtained 7400 Blue Monster Crystals, 1600 Red Monster Crystals, and 300 Dragon Soul Crystals.]
[Notification: You have killed....]
...
I heard the notification in my ear and the Long Yong'an mark disappeared from the radar.
Ye Lai knew that the attack had succeeded.
"It seems there are still many monsters in that area. I killed some of them while I was at it."
Ye Lai thought to himself.
Those other clues must be from other mutated beings who were affected by Long Yong'an.
Ye Lai looked back and saw that the black tents that had been erected had all disappeared.
His attack alerted the black rally stronghold, which immediately relocated.
This is one of the reasons why black groups can never be completely eradicated, because these black strongholds will immediately relocate once attacked.
As for how many corrupted beings died, they wouldn't care.
...
A valley.
A village located right in the middle of a valley.
It looks perfectly natural.
"There are villages outside of other cities? I don't believe it, Deng Fei, there must be something wrong here."
"There are definitely problems, but taking the long way around will add an extra day to the journey."
Outside the village, people in cloaks from Sanming were talking.
They were all extraordinary individuals from Hongshan City and had a very good relationship.
After all three made it into the top 100 of the qualifying rounds, they chose to travel to the capital together.
They encountered many crises along the way, but the three of them were able to overcome them all through their teamwork.
The ones who had just spoken were a tall, handsome young man named Deng Fei and a short, flat-chested girl. After their conversation, they finally turned their attention to a bearded man sitting on a rock behind them.
"Didn't you notice? There are extraordinary individuals from our Hongshan City among them."
The unshaven middle-aged man spoke up.
He observed more carefully than the two younger men, and at the end of this village, where smoke was rising from the chimneys, there were two figures that seemed completely out of place in the village.
They were extraordinary individuals from Hongshan City, and their rankings in the competition were relatively low, at ninety-second and eighty-ninth place.
It is at the bottom of the top 100.
Guided by the older man, the boy and the little girl also discovered the two who were trapped.
The two men seemed to have noticed them as well, and while their faces showed longing, they shook their heads, as if telling them not to come in.
"It looks dangerous, but I think it's nothing special. Under the Skynet, what powerful and bizarre thing could there be?"
The little girl said nonchalantly.
"Actually, whether it's weird or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that I want to save people. I hate people who refuse to help those in need. I must become someone like Ye Lai."
The young man spoke with great enthusiasm.
"In that case, let's go in."
The middle-aged man stood up.
A group of three entered the village.
A few scattered noises drifted through the quiet village.
Whenever someone tries to hear clearly, the crowing of the village's domestic roosters drowns out the sound.
The village fell silent, except that three more people had joined the original villagers: a little girl, a boy, and an older man.
Not far away, extraordinary individuals from other cities arrived.
The original village gradually disappeared into the mist, leaving the valley empty.
(8) Book.com
After the extraordinary beings left.
The village then reappeared.
It's as if the village was designed specifically for the extraordinary individuals of Hongshan City.
...
June 28th, sunny.
Ye arrived at the valley.
I saw the village in the valley, and even more so, I saw the people working in the village.
There are farmlands, chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs, and wisps of smoke rising from chimneys.
What a peaceful picture of village life.
But Ye Lai immediately noticed that something was wrong here.
"There is a village like this in a valley like this, there is definitely something wrong with it."
Ye Lai stopped and did not go any further.
The reason wasn't fear, but rather the worry that the village was a strange world, and once inside, escape would be difficult.
The Explorer armband on my arm was quiet.
This indicates that there is no eerie world or anything strange here.
This means that everyone in the village is a genuine human being.
The fact that the strange equipment is not displayed can only indicate two things.
Firstly, there really is such a quiet village in the wilderness; secondly, the eeriness of this village exceeds the range of the equipment's display.
"Ye Lai?"
Someone called out Ye Lai's name.
It was a man with black hair on his head, the first person to choose an item in the Hongshan City treasury. Ye Lai remembered him, Sun Zi.
His third-tier profession is Qi Master, and judging from his brief but impressive performance in the treasure vault, his actual combat strength is very strong.
"Sun Zi".
Ye Lai also called out the other person's name.
"I came here six hours ago. This village is eerie. It's obviously eerie, but I can't feel any eerie atmosphere."
Sun Zi leaped several times to a high place, looked down and said.
He spoke in a cryptic manner, but Ye Lai could understand what he was saying: something was wrong with the village, and he couldn't tell if it was truly eerie.
"I have equipment to detect the supernatural and the supernatural world, but this village isn't listed in my equipment."
Ye Lai nodded.
"I observed for half a day. This village is very strange. It only appears when it is facing the superhumans of our Hongshan City. It will automatically disappear when it is facing superhumans from other cities."
Sunzi recounted his observations over six hours.
"I am here to persuade the other superhumans in Hongshan City to avoid this place. Today is the 28th, and you can reach the capital by taking a longer route."
"I'm also waiting for a teammate with similar skills to mine to go in and rescue people."
Sun Zi looked at Ye Lai and said, clearly indicating that the teammate he was referring to was Ye Lai.
The only ones who can rival Sun Zi's strength are those in the top ten, and even that top ten might be slightly less impressive.
But Ye Lai is definitely among Sun Zi's ideal teammates.
"Save them?"
After hearing Sun Zi's words, Ye Lai began to observe carefully and saw two extraordinary individuals wearing Hongshan team uniforms behind the village, who were tilling the land.
"This is bait."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Lai spoke.
Another group of extraordinary individuals targeting Hongshan City has appeared, and yet another group of extraordinary individuals from Hongshan City is openly present here.
Such a thing is likely just bait.
"I know, but we can't just leave them without helping."
Sun Zi nodded, agreeing with Ye Lai's opinion, "I'm not sure what the situation is in this village either, that's why I'm waiting for my teammates. If no one comes before midnight on the 29th, I'll go in by myself."
"I saw it. I don't know about the others, but these two people are definitely still alive. I can feel their 'qi'."
"Want to come in together?"
Sun Zi extended an invitation.
Ye Lai did not reply immediately, but took another look at the village.
It was undoubtedly a trap. More than rescuing people, he wanted to know who would set such a trap in this place.
Was it unintentional, or was it done intentionally?
Who set this up? Was it the group trying to stop Tang Island from advancing? Or is there something sinister specifically targeting Hongshan City?
"More than saving people, what I want is to find out who is the leader of this village."
Ye Lai said, "Some things need to be made clear beforehand: you're not allowed to steal my monsters. If the commander acts strangely..."
"It's happened, and it has to be me."
Who's behind this is something that can be put aside for now.
Most importantly, this is a strange village.
There must be a mysterious being leading it, perhaps even one with a special bloodline.
This means that Ye Lai will be able to get the Dragon Soul Crystal he needs again.
"ha?"
Sun Zi was taken aback by Ye Lai's prior explanation and smiled as he touched his forehead.
"This is the first time I've heard of such a request. No problem. If I discover any unusual or strange 'qi', I'll let you know immediately."
⑧ьОOk． cОm

After deciding not to steal monsters.
Sun Zi took out a sign and placed it at the entrance of the valley, which read: 'Those with extraordinary abilities are not permitted to enter Hongshan City. Respectfully left by Ye Lai and Sun Zi.'
To prevent others from entering after they have already entered.
The two walked steadily into the village.
There is only one road leading into the village, and on either side are crops with their heads bowed low by golden wheat ears, densely packed together.
When Ye Lai was looking at these crops, he didn't hide any information.
After walking along the path lined with crops.
There were straw huts on both sides of the road, a rooster coming towards us, and a group of chicks following behind, heads held high and chests puffed out.
"Someone's coming."
An elderly woman with completely white hair pushed open the door and greeted Ye Lai and his companion as they entered.
Upon hearing the old woman's greeting, a middle-aged man dressed in blue clothes pushed open the door of a straw hut on the other side and came out.
With a warm smile on his face, he greeted the two men, saying, "You two must be from out of town. I'm the village chief here; you can just call me Lao Tong."
Facing the village chief, Ye Lai and his companion simply nodded slightly without saying a word.
How could a village that was clearly eerie possibly lower the guard of two people just because of a warm smile?
"Oh dear, it's been so long since any outsiders have come to our village,"
Village Chief Tong approached the two and said warmly, "Our village is called Daoxiang Village. We are the most hospitable. Outsiders who come to our village must first drink our rice wine."
Daoxiang Village Rules: Outsiders entering the village must obey the village chief's orders and drink rice wine. Those who refuse will be suppressed by the eerie world of Daoxiang Village.
The following message appeared before Ye Lai and Sun Zi.
The two were not strangers; this was the rule of the bizarre world.
Is this a bizarre world?
Sun Zi's voice reached Ye Lai's ears.
"I didn't think so either, but now it seems so."
Ye replied.
Before entering the village, Ye Lai exchanged for a pair of voice chat equipment that he had used in Demon Town and gave it to Sun Zi.
Compared to the rule information that Sunzi saw.
Ye Lai also saw another notification.
[Hint: You have entered a bizarre and ethereal world and have learned of incomplete and eerie rules.]
Below is an explanation of this type of bizarre world.
The gist is that it is a strange world that exists between existence and non-existence, a world that is about to take shape but has not yet taken shape, but this does not prevent the formation of strange world rules within it.
Judging from this bizarre rule, it is still a mandatory rule that the two must abide by, unless they are stronger than the bizarre world of Daoxiang Village.
An invisible pressure fell on the two of them, forcing Ye Lai and Sun Zi to follow the village chief forward.
The whole village began to know that outsiders had come in.
One by one, they crawled out of the straw huts to watch, just like watching rare animals in a zoo.
The two arrived at a large tree, under which was a wooden table with two bowls of clear rice wine on it.
"Come on, drink up."
"That's what Village Chief Tong said warmly."
The invisible pressure on the two of them increased again, as if reminding them to hurry up and drink.
The pressure comes from this illusory and bizarre world.
"Let's test it out first, and see what level of bizarre world this is."
Sun Zilian said.
Ye Lai nodded in agreement.
If this eerie world were only a level one eerie world, the two would immediately turn on each other and start killing each other with all their might.
However, if it were a high-level eerie world, the two would choose to silently endure it and drink the wine according to the village rules first.
How do I determine this?
Just feel the pressure on your body.
The ground beneath my feet began to crack, caused by invisible pressure.
Sun Zi and Ye Lai's expressions changed from relaxed and composed at the beginning to somewhat strained.
⑻ьоΟК． cоm
"call."
Sun Zi took a breath.
An invisible aura flowed from his body and enveloped him.
He withstood the invisible pressure on his shoulders once again.
Ye Lai's skin also began to be covered with a layer of golden light.
Faced with increasing pressure, the two of them began to exert their efforts without prior arrangement.
The scene became quiet.
The entire village watched the two men in silence.
The two who remained standing still felt the pressure mounting.
A minute later, Sun Zi was the first to give up resistance, picked up the rice wine in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Ye Lai's golden light also cracked, and he stepped forward and drank the rice wine.
[Note: You have already consumed Daoxiangcun rice wine. Rice wine information updated.]
[Name: Daoxiangcun Rice Wine]
Category: Alcoholic Beverages
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Quality: So rare it's almost exceptional]
[Introduction ①: Daoxiangcun rice wine is made from rice grown in Daoxiangcun. It undergoes a complex and special process, and those who drink it will receive the blessings of Daoxiangcun.]
[Introduction ②: Those who receive the blessing of Daoxiang Village will stay in Daoxiang Village for life, unable to leave, and will become villagers of Daoxiang Village.]
[Hint: It's more of a curse than a blessing]
"It tastes pretty good."
Sun Zi praised, "Smooth on the palate, and goes straight down the throat!"
"Those who drink this wine will receive the blessing of Daoxiang Village."
Ye Laiye transmitted his voice.
"Isn't that perfect? And there are even blessings? Could this not be a strange world, but a paradise on earth?"
Sun Zi's words still carried a hint of lingering affection.
Ye Lai told Sun Zi about the effects of the blessing.
"This isn't a blessing, it's a curse!"
Sun Zi transmitted his anger and cursed.
Even if they kill all the villagers, they won't be able to leave this place after receiving this blessing, and they will miss the Ace Tournament at the Extraordinary Center in the capital.
And the most infuriating part.
This rice wine is something you have to drink as soon as you enter. Both of them have already experienced it. The eerie world of Daoxiang Village must be at least level three.
In a supernatural world of level three or higher, the power that can be unleashed is equivalent to a death-level supernatural being making a move.
This is something they cannot resist; it's a forced sale!
After seeing the two men drink the rice wine, Village Chief Tong said to them:
"Now that you two have drunk the rice wine, you are now members of our Daoxiang Village. As villagers of Daoxiang Village, you can do anything, but there are still some village rules to abide by."
"The first rule is not to damage the plants in the village. In our Daoxiang Village, these plants are much more precious than us, and they live longer than us."
"Secondly, we must not attack each other during the day. As villagers, we must unite and live in harmony."
"If you violate these two rules, Daoxiang Village will be furious."
"Welcome to Daoxiang Village, you two new villagers."
As the village chief finished speaking.
The surrounding villagers cheered, seemingly happy to have two new companions.
"These two rules are the rules here, so we are now restricted from taking action."
Sun Zi's voice came through.
"It's not that we can't take action."
Ye Lai transmitted his voice.
⑧boOK.Cοm

Hint: You are already aware of Daoxiang Village's eerie rules]
Ye Lai received this notification as soon as Village Chief Tong spoke.
"The rules make it very clear that it's during the day, not at night."
Ye Lai grasped the key point in the rules and said, "This is our chance. We'll make our move tonight."
"I see. If you hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have found out until tonight."
Sun Zi couldn't help but admire Ye Lai's intelligence, but he also believed that he would discover this later.
"Your rooms are straw huts numbered 45 and 46. Here you are."
Village Chief Tong said to the two of them, "Two thatched huts have appeared out of thin air on the ground at the end of the village, which was originally empty."
"45, 46."
Ye Lai pondered these two numbers, which contained a great deal of information.
"Remember, don't go to the wrong place. If you do, the owners of the other straw huts will be angry."
Village Chief Tong continued, "As for other places, you are free to go wherever you like."
After saying this, the people from Daoxiang Village who had gathered dispersed and returned to their straw houses.
Only Ye Lai and Sun Zi remained under the big tree.
"Let's go check on the two people from Hongshan City who were trapped earlier."
Ye Lai said to Sun Zi.
Sun Zi stayed here and planned to enter because of these two people.
Based on the location they had seen outside, the two crossed the large tree and continued walking forward.
This large tree appears to be a dividing line.
The numbered straw huts were all behind the big tree, 1, 2, 3...
Each straw hut was marked with a number.
Their thatched hut was at the very back, and also the newest.
The two traveled on without encountering any obstacles.
We arrived at the place where the two people from Hongshan City we had seen earlier were located.
It was a field at the very back of Daoxiang Village, where two people dressed in Hongshan clothing were diligently working with hoes.
Now that they're closer, Ye Lai and the others can see things more clearly.
With each swing of the hoe, a stream of blood flowed into the field.
They are cultivating this land with their very life force.
They also had their numbers on them—43 and 44.
"Don't come in, or you'll end up farming the land just like us."
The boy with number 43, who was tilling the field, spoke to Ye and Lai, his hoe still moving as he spoke.
"We saw you before, and we clearly told you to leave immediately."
On the other side was a little girl, who was also working hard in the field.
"Have you forgotten? Before we came in, we also saw other people calling for help. I think there's something wrong with this strange world. The way people see us from outside is different from how they see us from inside."
The boy spoke very quickly: "We can only speak for 10 seconds each time we plow the land."
"All I can tell you is the number on your body, which indicates which number of people were trapped here. We are 42 and 43, and you are 45 and 46."
"And also..."
The boy paused at this point, lowered his head, and remained silent, then began to till the land even more diligently.
Ye Laisunzi knew that the boy had been speaking for more than ten seconds.
8ВооK． Сом
"If it exceeds 10 seconds, they will lose consciousness."
The little girl continued the boy's words, saying, "Every day, a different group of people come to till the land the next day. After tilling the land, they are very tired, so tired that they don't want to talk or move. That's why you'll find that the people behind the big tree never go out."
"The people in front of the big tree are the original inhabitants, and the people behind the big tree are the ones who came in later. All of these people are from our Hongshan City."
"These things were told to me by people who came before me. If you want to go out, you have to hurry. After you start plowing the land, you won't even have time to leave the house."
In the end, even the little girl seemed to have lost her soul, silently toiling away like an old ox.
"It's Deng Fei and Luo Li. They ranked 42nd and 48th in the top 100."
Sun Zi said that he recognized the two men, "and there was also an older man with them. The three of them usually get along very well and are a small team."
"Then number 42 in front of them should be that uncle, and then it's our turn."
Ye Lai also spoke up: "I estimate that if we want to leave, we can only do so before daytime tomorrow, otherwise we won't be able to leave once we start working in the fields."
Just as the two who had lost consciousness while tilling the land said, they would become heartless farming machines, taking turns tilling the land here every day.
They rest at night, then change partners the next day, and can never leave each other for the rest of their lives.
This is no longer a matter of whether or not to leave; it's a matter of life and death.
If this continues, sooner or later he will run out of life force and die.
"I'll try to see if I can wake them up."
Sun Zi unleashed his power, and a surge of energy flowed from him to the loli and the boy.
But it was all in vain; the two continued their hard work.
Instead, a suction force rose from the field, trying to pull Sun Zi in as well. Upon seeing this, Sun Zi promptly cut off his own energy transmission.
Ye Lai arrived at the edge of the field and cautiously peered out with golden light.
This Daoxiang Village is very strange, and he can't see any strange information about it. However, the rice wine he had previously made him realize that as long as he has come into contact with something, he can still get hidden information. He wants to try and see.
The golden light fell onto the field and was instantly absorbed.
Ye Lai also cut off this part of the golden light at the first moment, causing it to be swallowed up by the field.
[Name: First-class farmland in Daoxiang Village]
[Category: Arable Land]
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Introduction ①: This is a prime piece of land in Daoxiang Village, capable of absorbing various kinds of energy to grow crops, which are essential for making Daoxiang Village rice wine.]
[Description ②: Before the best crops grow, he will absorb all power and turn those who step into it into farming machines. Even superhumans can only maintain their consciousness for ten seconds inside.]
[Hint: He is part of Daoxiang Village. Attacking him will provoke a resistance from the village's consciousness.]
Ye Lai got the information he wanted.
"This is first-class farmland in Daoxiang Village. It can absorb all kinds of power as its own nourishment. If you step into it, you will become its slave."
Ye Lai shared his information with Sun Zi, "And we can't attack it, otherwise it will provoke an attack from Daoxiang Village."
The attack on Daoxiang Village was of a death-level severity, something they could not afford to withstand.
"Something's not right. Even though the Skynet in the wilderness is weak, such a powerful and eerie world shouldn't exist inside it."
Sun Zi said.
What he said makes sense. Under the Skynet, the most that can descend is a level two supernatural world; level three or higher supernatural worlds are absolutely not allowed.
Once someone falls into the wilderness from the outside world, they will be detected by Skynet immediately and dealt with personally by the person in charge, not to mention that this wilderness is close to the capital.

Unless this Daoxiang Village appeared within the Skynet network.
"It's obvious that someone is targeting our Hongshan City."
Ye Lai transmitted his voice.
This can be seen from what the two people working in the fields said; each of them is an extraordinary being from Hongshan City.
There are only one hundred people who can participate in the Royal Capital Tournament. There are also about ten extraordinary individuals who simply gave up their spots because they did not want to enter the wilderness.
There were only about eighty people left.
There are now 46 thatched huts, which means that half of the participants in Hongshan City have already been trapped here.
Sun Zi deeply agreed with Ye Lai's analysis.
"Let's go check out other places."
Ye Laidao.
The two left the outermost field. Now, the priority wasn't to investigate who was targeting Hongshan City, but to get out of there as quickly as possible.
An afternoon and an evening—that's all the time they have. Tomorrow it will be their turn to plow the fields.
The two first went to the straw huts with other numbers. Although they couldn't enter, the straw huts had windows, through which they could see the other superhumans from Hongshan City lying on the straw beds.
Without exception, they lay listlessly on the straw beds, as if they had lost their souls. No matter how the two called out to them, they remained motionless.
Moreover, from back to front, the more advanced the superhumans are, the more obvious their physical aging becomes. The person in the first position is already very old and not far from death.
Before we set off, we were all young people in the prime of our lives.
"If we look at it this way, then those people in front of the big tree might also be extraordinary beings, only they were extraordinary beings before us, and they only grew old and looked like that after they had worked hard."
Ye Lai guessed in his heart: "After the big tree, the extraordinary people of our Hongshan City will come. After the crops in the fields at the end of the village have grown, the third group of people will arrive."
Regarding this speculation...
Ye Lai chose to use the information function in the store.
[Does the 30144 blue eerie crystal and 1751 red eerie crystal in the phone bill confirm the correctness of this guess?]
"Determine the cost."
Ye Lai confirmed this in his heart.
This judgment is correct.
The intelligence system confirmed that Ye Lai's guess was correct.
"I suspect that once people get involved in farming, they will be completely bound to this Daoxiang Village and unable to leave."
[Was the decision made correctly by spending 10412 blue eerie crystals?]
"Determine the cost."
This judgment is correct.
The second guess is still correct.
Ye Lai tried to find a way to leave Daoxiang Village, but the amount of crystals required exceeded the amount of crystals Ye Lai possessed.
Ye Lai presented his two confirmed guesses as an analysis to Sun Zi.
After discussing it for a while, the two decided to go and take a look at the area in front of the big tree together.
We passed over the large, leafy trees.
The two arrived at an area ahead that was not numbered.
This place is different from the places behind where no one goes out. Elderly people come and go; some raise pigs, some raise chickens, and some cook.
It was incredibly lively.
The smoke they saw coming from outside was all coming from here.
The two of them went up and talked to each person one by one.
But what I got were mostly small talk about everyday family matters.
The only few pieces of useful information we obtained were...
"We've been here as long as we can remember. It's a wonderful place; everyone here is so kind."
"Why go out? We have food and drink here, and we're all old bones."
"Getting a little older is nothing. As long as Daoxiangcun doesn't disappear, we won't die."

The information that Ye Lai and Sun Zi can deduce from these three sentences.
It is very likely that once the crops grow in the fields, they will become an integral part of Daoxiang Village and lose their former memories.
Leave the area ahead.
The two arrived at the entrance, which was now blocked off, and the path ahead was completely covered by crops.
Ye Lai used the same method he had used to survey the fields to survey the crops again, and the golden light was absorbed in an instant.
The speed is ten times faster than the previous fields.
[Name: Mature Golden Wheat]
[Category: Crops]
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Description: This crop has grown after absorbing countless energies. It contains immense power and is the raw material for making Daoxiang Village rice wine. It also possesses abilities such as absorption, attack, transformation, and confusion.]
[Hint: Do not attempt to bypass it. Before you can leave, your power will be completely absorbed, and you will become a withered corpse.]
The clue bluntly told Ye Lai his fate of leaving by crossing the farmland.
Daoxiangcun is very small.
After the investigation was completed.
That's all the information we got.
As for the village chief who had initially come to greet them, he was nowhere to be seen.
It's as if they disappeared without a trace.
It continued until the sun was about to set.
As soon as Village Chief Tong appeared under the big tree, he reminded the passersby, "The sun is about to set, everyone remember to go back inside!"
He then approached Ye Lai and Sun Zi, warmly saying, "Those who come to our Daoxiang Village must work the land. Tomorrow is your turn. You will begin when the sun rises and can go home when the sun sets."
"This is also one of the rules of our Daoxiangcun."
[Hint: You have learned some of the eerie rules of Daoxiang Village]
"When will this end?"
Ye Lai asked.
"When the crops are ripe, you won't have to work anymore, and the people who come after you will help you a lot."
Village Chief Tong said with a smile.
"What if we want to leave? Can we wait until the crops are ripe?"
Ye Lai continued to press, for it was a rare opportunity to encounter this village chief, so how could he possibly end the questioning so easily?
"When the crops are ripe, you won't want to leave!"
Village Chief Tong continued to answer patiently.
"What if we want to leave now?"
Sun Zifa asked.
"Of course not. Once you've drunk the rice wine, you're part of Daoxiang Village. As members of Daoxiang Village, how can you leave without growing crops?"
After answering the question, Village Chief Tong left immediately.
Ye Lai and Sun Zi planned to give chase, but they discovered that Village Chief Tong had actually walked into the crops in front of them. This was their forbidden zone; going in meant death.
"Once you enter the village, you must drink rice wine. Once you drink rice wine, you become a person of Daoxiang Village. As a person of Daoxiang Village, you must work. Work until the crops grow, and you will become one with the village. Once you become one with the village, you will be like the people before you, losing your memories but not leaving."
Ye Lai has figured out the entire cycle of Daoxiang Village.
This is a cage that you can never leave once you enter.
"Then let's kill them all."
Sun Zi said that this was the only solution he could think of.
The sun had completely set behind the mountains, and the little girl and boy who had been working in the fields returned to the straw hut with mechanical steps.
Inside Straw Village, only Ye Laisunzi and another person remained outside.
