There is a small cave in the cave where the delivery room is located. From time to time, a woman with a big belly walks in alone while holding her belly and gives birth in a small cave. Soon the baby's crying was heard inside, and after a few more moments, the woman staggered out of the cave on her own. Someone took the baby out and put it in another room, and there were all kinds of baby crying faintly inside, which seemed to be a nursery room.

Next, what Yang Xianmao saw was even more strange and terrifying, only to see a few strong men carrying in several corpses from the outside, all of them were old people with snow-white heads and stiff bodies, and another woman was brought in, this woman was a big belly, it seemed that the person was dead, and I didn't know if he died of dystocia or some other disease.

The corpses lay out on a flat rock in the cave, and then some of the young men, with boning cutlass in their hands, went up and tore off all the clothes of the corpses, and then began to cut their flesh, and put the cut meat in a pot and brought it to the rack to cook.

The smell of meat immediately wafted from inside and outside the cave, and this fragrance almost spit out when it smelled Yang Xianmao's nose.

Are these people going to eat human flesh? What kind of people are they?

It's all weird, he just wants to run away. But at this time, his Yin and Yang True Fire had not fully recovered, especially the snake venom on his leg had not been cured, and the strangeness of this cave made him want to further explore what kind of people they were.

Next, as Yang Xianmao expected, after the pot of meat was cooked, the people outside lined up 6 to come in, each served a bowl, and then each squatted in the corner and ate it deliciously.

What a strange place they eat from their fellow soldiers.

Yang Xianmao simply closed his eyes, not wanting to look at it again.

But this weird thing doesn't seem to have stopped. Before dark, for a long time, he saw the same scene at least several times, more than a dozen people were put in a cauldron after being **, and then everyone shared the food. On this day, they have to eat several meals.

I don't know how long it took, but finally, the sky slowly darkened.

This dusk was the longest dusk Yang Xianmao had ever seen, and it lasted for almost ten hours before it was completely dark.

Lanterns are hung all over the cave, and torches are inserted outside the cave, illuminating the inside and outside. One after another, people died, and people kept dying and being cut and boiled, and they never stopped halfway.

The people inside and outside the cave are busy with their own business. While people are dying, women are also giving birth.

These mothers do not need to be supported, so they stagger in on their own, and after giving birth they leave weakly, as if they have something very important to do immediately, and they will not wait for the end of the lactation period.

At last, when it was completely dark, the chief's wife had talked to the chief a few times, and at last she was satisfied, and after a little washing, she stepped out of the cave.

And at this time, the young woman with the child that Yang Xianmao saved before walked in with the child, the child was already five or six years old, it was a boy, and his eyes were rolling.

The young woman, who was much older, took the child by her and went to the chief, and said, "Chief, I have to have a share of the treasure on the corpse we have brought back, for we were present with him at the time, and I must ask for a good one." ”

The chief nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, if we have successfully removed the defensive soft armor from the dead man, you can ask your son to pick one of the magic weapons found inside." I know you're doing this for your son's sake. ”

The young woman agreed, took the child and turned to go out.

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, thinking to herself, could this child be the young woman's son? Is it the swaddling child in her arms? The child was only a few months old at the time, and now it is so old? Could it be that the wind is long?

The night was long, and few people outside slept, all busy with their own business, and from time to time corpses were brought in from outside.

Slowly the long night finally passed little by little, but when the fish belly was white in the east, Yang Xianmao saw several corpses brought in from outside, one of which was the hunchbacked old man. But he had become unusually old, his head was almost completely white, and his back was hunched even more, like a curved bow.

When he came in during the day, Yang Xianmao clearly saw that among the hundreds of people present, there was no hunchbacked old man who he could recognize at a glance, and his appearance and clothing basically allowed Yang Xianmao to confirm that it was the hunchbacked old man who was going to divide his magic weapon before.

His death did not make Yang Xianmao particularly surprised, the old man, if he encounters any physical diseases, it is easy to die, this is not surprising, but what makes him feel jaw-dropping is the degree of old age. Before this, he still looked a little energetic, and his head was only a little white, and a lot of it was black. Now, his whole head is white, and his beard is white, as if he has aged more than ten years in half a day.

This made Yang Xianmao start to pay attention to the other people in the cave, and at this glance, he couldn't help but be shocked,...... The people in the cave were actually growing up and getting old, the chief, before the first day of darkness, was still big and round, and his body was very strong, and after a night, the strong chief was much older, his muscles began to relax, and his belly protruded, like a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.

What surprised him even more was that the woman next to him, in addition to the lady who went out to find the crypt man, there were also several young women, when they entered the cave the day before, they saw that they were only ten ** years old, but at this moment, they were already middle-aged women in their thirties.

What made him even more creepy was that two of them, within a few hours, had their stomachs swelling rapidly. Then he staggered into the delivery room, and when he came out again, his stomach had calmed down, and the sound of a baby crying could be heard in the delivery room.

Yang Xianmao almost felt that her head was about to explode, what kind of place is this? Why is it that in just a few hours, a woman has a big belly and has given birth to a child?

Could it be that time is measured in moments here?

Just when Yang Xianmao couldn't figure out what was going on, the lady who had gone out earlier came back.

When the chief's wife went out, she was twenty or thirty years old, but now she was a middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties, her face was wrinkled, and her breasts were no longer raised high, but her face was full of excitement.

With a bag in her hand, the chief's wife walked up to the chief and said, "The Crypt Leader has promised to give me this bag of Soul Seeking Grass. ”

The chief said in a voice full of jealousy, "You didn't give less, did you?"

The chief's wife glanced at him with a smile, and said, "You won't still eat this vinegar, will you? ”

The chief snorted and said, "Forget it, I knew it was like this, and it would be nice to get it back." Hurry up and cook the soul-searching soup, take this kid's soul away, and I'll take that magic weapon. I feel that my body is getting worse and worse, and if I can't get this magic weapon by dawn tomorrow morning, I'm afraid that I won't have the strength to go through the dragon gate again and ascend to adulthood. ”

The chief's wife said, "Don't worry, we haven't negotiated my terms yet, and we are not in a hurry for a while." This Soul Searching Grass is the key to your acquisition of this magic weapon, what good should I do?"

"I promise you, as long as you do this, I will promise whatever benefits you want. ”

"Well, okay, give me this artifact to use for a day, I only need a day. ”

The chief snorted and said, "A person's lifespan is generally only seven or eight days, at most nine days, except for the Three Realms Realm, which can live for ten days, no one has ever lived for ten days. If you use it for a day, I won't have anything left. ”

Yang Xianmao was taken aback, do the people here only have a few days to live?

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp and cold all over his body. If that is the case, then what the woman said is easy to understand,...... If there is a total of ** days, being a chief for two or three days is really not a particularly tempting thing.

The woman listened to the chief's words, snorted and said, "If you don't want to, forget it, I'll use this soul-seeking grass to make a straw hat, and wear it to cool off." With that, the chief's wife took the bag and turned around to leave.

The chief hurriedly stopped her and said, "Okay, my lady, I know what you want to do, don't you just want to try the dragon gate? How many of us have tried to do this, but have never succeeded, what can we do with these magic weapons? Those who broke through the dragon gate in the past, some of their magic weapons were even sharper than this, and they were not able to succeed. ”

Seeing that the chieftain had broken his words, the chief's wife no longer avoided it, and said: "That's right, I just want to take this magic weapon to try it, I don't want to die so early, I want to be like a normal person, I can live to be seventy, eighty or even a hundred years old." ”

At this time, Yang Xianmao completely understood, it turned out that the people of this so-called desolate world could only live for a maximum of ten days.

Although the day and night here are much longer than the day and night in the human world, it can take a full life in ten days at most, which is indeed devastating for them. Listening to their statements, it seems that there is a place called the Dragon Gate, which can be promoted to adulthood by breaking through the Dragon Gate, that is to say, you can become a person in the human world, and you can live for seventy or eighty years, or even a hundred years. So both the chief and the chief's wife wanted to leap through the dragon gate and ascend to adulthood.

It's really ironic, the people of the human world want to ascend to immortality through cultivation, but the people of this desolate world just want to fly to adulthood, and it is already their greatest wish to be like them to live for decades, or even a hundred years old.

Yang Xianmao suddenly thought of a question, when he came to this big 6, would he not have a lifespan of ten days at most like them? He was anxious all of a sudden, but he was wrapped in this soft armor all over his body, and there was no way to check if his appearance had changed, but he could feel that he was still as energetic as before, and there was no sign of aging, which made him feel a little relieved.

However, he still decided that once he was free, he would immediately find a bronze mirror to see if his appearance was old, and only when he was sure that he was not old would he rest assured, before that his heart was hanging.
