The astonishing inference made Jiang Yao suddenly chill, but at this time, he couldn't help but think of Ah Xing's words in his mind, and a clue gradually became clear in his heart.

"No wonder Wang Le claimed to have seen 'Wen Jie's corpse' in the mountains to seek revenge on him, it seems that it is not ......groundless," Jiang Yao said to himself. "However, if it is really Wen Jie, why did she become such a separate body and head, no human and no ghost?"

"This ...... I don't know, theoretically, it is impossible for humans to mutate into such a monster, I don't know what happened to her. The old man lowered his head, and there was a confused expression on his face.

"Oh, what's there to worry about, judging from the current situation, isn't the context of this matter already very clear~" Yuanyuan stuck his waist and shouted impatiently.

"More than a year ago, the woman named Wen Jie was murdered and thrown into a cliff, but she unexpectedly did not die; after some unknown changes, she mutated into a powerful 'living corpse', and used her witchcraft ability to collect low-level demons to refine the 'Demon Gu', the purpose is to take revenge! That's right, everything is connected in series~"

"But...... If it was really Wen Jie who did these things for revenge, why did she kill Ah Xing? Ah Xing did not harm her, and she had a deep love for Wen Jie before her death. Jiang Yao wondered. "Moreover, judging from the past reviews, Wen Jie does not seem to be the kind of person who will harm innocent people, and the 'curse'...... It's not like she can bury it. I always feel that something is wrong with things, and the "truth" is not so simple. ”

"Hmph, if you want to know the 'truth', can't you just catch that 'living corpse' and study it clearly?" "Instead of talking about it on paper, it's better to go out and find clues......"

"Patriarch! Oh no!!"

A villager dressed as a guard hurriedly broke into the house and shouted anxiously at the old man.

"'Living Corpse'...... The 'living corpse'...... It's here again!"

"What!?"

As soon as he heard the word "living corpse" in the guard's mouth, Jiang Yao's heart suddenly hung again, and the faces of the other people also changed, but the gluttony was still calm and did not look panicked.

"Hehe, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive. Gluttony stood up with a smile and patted the food crumbs in his hand, only to see that the previous pile of food had already been wiped out by him. "It just so happens that the 'living corpse' also has something on it that I 'want to be sure'. Let's go, let's meet it. ”

"That...... I ......"

"You keep me here. ”

"You stay here for me!"

Before Jiang Yao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tao Tao and Yuan Yuan at the same time.

"Do you still want to be strong with waste wood that can't even use mana? Are you going to give away the head of that 'living corpse'?" Yuan Yuan glanced at Jiang Yao and said.

"No, I'm just ......"

"I know you're trying to do something, but in this situation, you're only going to make a mess. Gluttony shook his head, and there was no room for negotiation in his tone.

"......" Jiang Yao was speechless, feeling that he was completely treated as a child by the other party. Although in terms of actual age, he can indeed be regarded as a "toddler" among this group of old monsters...... No, maybe not even a "toddler".

"Where is the 'living corpse' this time?" the old man asked, turning his head to look at the guard who was reporting the news.

"Still the same as before, south of the village at six o'clock, close to our forbidden ......"

Halfway through his words, the guard suddenly seemed to realize something, looked at Jiang Yao with some confusion, and didn't continue.

"Now that you know the location, let's go. Gluttony ignored the guard's words and stopped, and turned around and walked out of the door with a flick of the windbreaker, while Yuan Yuan made eye contact with the old man, and after the two glanced at Jiang Yao intentionally or unintentionally, they whispered something to the guard, and then the group left directly. Only Jiang Yao, who was sitting on the bed with a depressed face, was left in the room.

"Actually, I'm not going to make trouble for you......" Jiang Yao muttered and lowered his head, looked at the children's biscuits given by Yuanyuan in his hand, and sighed softly.

To be honest, Jiang Yao is very aware of his physical condition, and he is not the kind of person who will ignore his companions and act on his own, although he really wants to help in his heart, he never wants to be a burden to help...... He just wanted to tell them one thing, because since he met the suspected "living corpse" of Wen Jie that night, a certain doubt has been haunting and lingering.

【The smell of you...... It's so familiar......]

The murmur of the human head in my ear at that time is still fresh in my memory, and even in the nightmare. Although I didn't think about it because of the excessive fright at the scene that day, in retrospect, the direction of that passage is quite intriguing.

Is the ...... 'familiar taste' on my body? Could it be that it refers to this 'Gu Pill' in my arms?

Jiang Yao took out the crimson oval stone again and rubbed it carefully.

If that centipede's 'Demon Gu' was really refined by the "living corpse" spell, then it was normal for it to be very concerned about the aura of the 'Gu Dan'...... Judging from the reaction of the "living corpse" that night, perhaps this 'Gu Dan' was a good thing to attract its attention, and it might be able to help in the battle.

"Alas......" Jiang Yao sighed again, he wanted to tell Yuanyuan and them his guess, but the other party didn't listen to him and directly blocked his words, and now he can only stay in the village and wait for the change.

Jiang Yao put the 'Gu Dan' back in his arms again, then got up and got out of bed, walked to the window and looked out.

The sunset on the side of the mountain slowly sank in the blood-colored flying glow, and it was obvious that Jiang Yao had been asleep in a nightmare for a day and a night, and compared to last night, Changyou Village at this time was responding to another attack in an orderly manner. In addition to some of the guards hurrying in a certain direction, Jiang Yao also found that there were many guards in the village wearing bronze masks, which seemed to have learned the previous lesson and were specially arranged in order to prevent the rear from being attacked by sneak attacks.

The location of the "living corpse" attack this time...... Is it the so-called "forbidden land" again?

Jiang Yao glanced at the direction where the guards gathered, and it was exactly the same as last night, plus the guard who reported the news just now inadvertently said that he had leaked the news, and the speculation in Jiang Yao's heart was already eight or nine. As for what the so-called "forbidden land" is, and why the "living corpses" have a soft spot for it, Jiang Yao does not know.

"All in all, let's be honest and stand by here......"

Jiang Yao muttered to himself, turned around and walked into the pantry on the edge of the back room, ready to pour a glass of water to moisten his throat. But I don't know if it's because I've slept for too long and I'm weak, I just picked up the wooden teacup, Jiang Yao's hand suddenly slipped, and the fallen teacup suddenly "rumbled" and rolled out like a hamster under the cabinet on the side.

"Heh, I can't even hold the teacup, so it's no wonder they won't let me go. ”

Jiang Yao shook his head self-deprecatingly, sighed, and then leaned down, reaching out to grope under the dark cupboard. However, as he touched it, his fingertips suddenly touched something cold and hard.

Huh? What is it?

Jiang Yao pinched the strange object, feeling that the shape seemed to be a little far from the cup, he didn't think much about it, reached out and clamped the thing out of the bottom of the cabinet, and at this time, he really saw what this thing he had clipped.

It was a human mandiblebone with a half-row of teeth.

"Hmm——!"

The unexpected situation made Jiang Yao startled, and he subconsciously threw out the jawbone in his hand, and his heart beat violently.

Mandible ...... Why is there a human mandible......?

The frightened Jiang Yao suddenly remembered that he had called him "reserve grain" with a smile on his face, and he thought it was just a joke, but after seeing this hideous mandible, Jiang Yao really couldn't laugh now.

No way...... Could it really be regarded as a "ration"? Is it also part of their plan that the gluttony was led away just now?

Jiang Yao recalled the eyes that Yuan Yuan and the old man looked at him before leaving, and the more he thought about it, the more chills he felt in his heart, and he was like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the midst of this group of monsters. He hurriedly got up from the ground and put on his coat to leave the room, but as soon as he pushed open the door, he was stopped by two bronze masked guards stationed outside the door.

"The patriarch has an order that you are not allowed to leave this room for half a step. One of the guards said indifferently.

"I just want to walk around the neighborhood and breath......e," Jiang Yao said, trying to push away the guard's arm, but found that the other party didn't move.

"I'm sorry, but now the village is under martial law, and idle people are forbidden to go out, so please forgive me. ”

The other guard's words sounded polite, but there was no hint of concession in his words. And Jiang Yao saw that his words couldn't work, and he couldn't break through, so he had no choice but to temporarily close the door and retreat into the room, with his ears on the side of the door and listening to the movement outside.

『…… This kid...... I really want to run......

"Keep an eye on it...... This is an important prey......

"Prey"??

Jiang Yao's face was pale, if the previous jawbone only made him shake a little, then the current situation really confirmed his guess, and the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.

You can't just sit back and wait...... If you can't walk through the door, what about the windows?

Jiang Yao straightened up and looked up at the room he was in, there was a window in the room and an outhouse, and the window in the outhouse was next to the door, so if you wanted to go out from that side, you didn't have to think about it, you would definitely be caught, so there was only one option left.

Jiang Yao hurriedly went into the back room and tried to push the window door, to his delight, the window door was not locked, but when he pushed open the window and looked down, his heart suddenly cooled half.

I saw that under the window of the inner house is a mountain cliff that is neither high nor low, this house is built on a rock wall in the village, and below is a circle of terraced fields.

It's really a great "cage" for me......

Jiang Yao complained bitterly in his heart, but compared to his current situation, he suddenly worried about the gluttony.

If the so-called "attack of the living corpses" is just an excuse for these Changyou villagers to deliberately separate me from the glutton, then will they deliberately place some traps on the glutton's side for him to jump? Although with that guy's ability, it shouldn't be so easy to hit, but how to say that his demonic power is sealed, and besides, he is also facing the demon ...... of the whole village

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao's face suddenly became gloomy again, and just as he was thinking about whether he could use the sheets in the house to make an "escape rope", he suddenly found that something seemed to be wrong on the edge of the cliff under the window.

I saw a figure suddenly poke its head out from the edge of the terraces below, and looked sneakily in the direction of the window where Jiang Yao was.
