118. Where to go
Bright sunshine is pouring down.
Although this sunlight is not vicious, it still gives Ye Kong and Liuli a very dazzling feeling.
However, after all, they had just come out of the gloomy environment of the Cloudy Secret Realm - unlike coming out of the Dead Tomb before, they could choose to come out at night, or even come out after getting used to the sunlight near the cave entrance.
In the cloudy secret realm, after Ye Kong and Liuli chose to go from the exit, they were directly forced to teleport out, and they were not even mentally prepared at all. So in this case, even though both of them were successful cultivators, they would still feel the glare of the sun—but Ye Kong had already prepared, so he had already closed his eyes when he left; But Liuli was defenseless, so she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders in the place where the two of them came out, so there will be no trouble.
Ye Kong glanced around the surroundings and found that their location was on the outskirts of Bai Village, and it was not too far from Bai Village. With his and Ruri's footsteps, he can return to Bai Village in less than an hour, and if he walks faster, he can even find an inn to have a meal before noon.
When Ye Kong originally designed this dungeon, the teleportation method of leaving was to take Baicun as the center point, and the radiation spread to a random teleportation within an outer radius of one kilometer. That is to say, in terms of setting, for players, leaving this dungeon is also a test, after all, even if the player is killed, he will not really die, but there will be a period of weakness, of course, there will definitely be other punishments, but it is not too difficult for players to accept.
Because of this, those players who have not been able to grab the permission to enter the dungeon will naturally gather a large army again, and then come here to fight an ambush.
This is also the competitive link that Ye Kong hopes to appear.
But now in this world, Ye Kong is not so hopeful.
"It's fine." With a light sigh, Ye Kong soothed his body slightly.
"What's okay?" At this time, Ruri also returned to her normal state, she glanced at her surroundings, and also did not find any danger.
"Nothing." Ye Kong smiled and shook his head, "I'm just thinking, I don't know if the people of the Wen family have successfully escaped from danger." ”
"If we had left, we would have come out a few days earlier than us, after all, we had been in there for many days later." Liuli thought for a moment, and then said, "You never do useless things, don't you look at something from the above family?" ”
"You know me so well." Ye Kong said with a smile.
"After all, we have also experienced several battles of life and death together, and I think I still know a little about you as a person." Liuli glanced Ye Kong up and down before he spoke, "I didn't expect that the last thing you wanted to take turned out to be the Night Pearl." …… Is this thing that important? Don't tell me anything about ancestral relics, only those fools from the Snow Mountain Sword Sect believe this. ”
"It's not good that you're so sharp." Ye Kong shook his head and smiled, "Sometimes, even if you know something, you don't need to say it." ”
"I don't bother to pay attention to ordinary people, but I'm still curious about you." Liuli looked at Ye Kong, her eyes were very clear and serious.
Looking at Liuli with such a serious demeanor, the hippie smile-like look on Ye Kong's face gradually converged.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Kong spoke: "This thing is very important to me, and it can even be said to be a life-saving thing. I entered this secret realm for the sake of this Night Pearl, and other things, including the Yin Sky Demon Knife in your hand, are just foreign objects to me. ”
"I see." Ruri nodded.
"So, let's go back to Baicun and find an inn for a meal?" Ye Kong asked tentatively.
According to the regulations of the secret realm blood contract, in fact, after leaving the cloudy secret realm, Ye Kong and Liuli are no longer allies, so even if the two sides attack each other, there will be no restrictions.
However, whether it is Ye Kong or Liuli, they obviously don't want such a situation to happen.
In the secret realm, the two have seen each other's strength, and have experienced several battles of life and death, although they didn't say anything to each other, but they also recognized each other's strength and identity in their hearts, and in a sense, the two are also friends.
Especially when obtaining the Night Pearl, Ye Kong was attacked by a demon beast because of negligence, if it wasn't for Liuli's brazen attack, even if Ye Kong could kill this demon beast, he would definitely be seriously injured.
It's just that in Ye Kong's impression, there should be no traces of monsters or monsters near the Night Pearl.
But the fact is that in the place where the Night Pearl is stored, a powerful demon beast has appeared, and this demon beast has not recorded any impression in Ye Kong's memory, it is obviously a mutation of some kind of demon beast in the secret realm. Judging from the various clues that Ye Kong had obtained so far, he could already be sure that it was not only the Shenzhou Continent that had changed, but even the internal environment of the secret realm had also changed.
It is precisely because of this that no matter what Ye Kong says, he must accept Liuli to save his favor.
"It's okay, I'm just a little hungry." How could the keen Liuli not know Ye Kong's intentions, so she followed Ye Kong's words and continued, "I haven't tasted the food here in Bai Village before." ”
The two of them, who were tacitly acquiescing, seemed to have restored the tacit understanding in the secret realm, and walked side by side towards Bai Village.
Not long after, Ye Kong and Liuli arrived at Bai Village again.
It's just that unlike the last time I came to Baicun, Baicun now seems to be extremely lonely, and even exudes a sad atmosphere.
Ye Kong and Liuli glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes.
With the arrival of Ye Kong and Liuli, the people of Bai Village all showed a look of fear, and many of them even had a bit of hostility hidden in their eyes. It's just that these people think they are very good at covering up, but they who have never set foot in the realm of breakthrough cultivation naturally don't understand that this kind of targeted gaze is as dazzling as a beacon for Ye Kong and Liuli and others, and it is impossible to hide it at all.
But at this moment, Ye Kong and Liuli didn't have the heart to pay attention to these.
In their eyes, the white village has completely lost its former prosperity, but has become a ruined village like ruins.
More than half of the buildings in the entire village have collapsed, and most of the area is even left with a huge crater, which is completely invisible, except for some fragments of broken buildings that can still be seen in the material.
"This is ......" Ye Kong looked at these places with a stunned expression, and he even saw that the warehouse he had entered with Liuli before had also been razed to the ground.
"Human robbery." Liuli's pupils shrank slightly, and her breathing was a little rapid, but she quickly calmed down.
"People...... Disaster? Ye Kong turned his head and looked at Liuli, a term he had never heard of.
"You don't know?" Liuli looked at Ye Kong with some surprise, but quickly came to his senses, "Indeed, it is rare for such a thing to happen in Shenzhou. ”
"What...... Meaning? ”
"Man-made disasters, natural disasters, and earth disasters are the three greatest disasters in this world." Liuli sighed lightly, her voice a little more sad, "The natural disaster refers to the catastrophe caused by the change of celestial phenomena. Ground disasters are some disasters caused by changes in the earth's leylines or spiritual veins. In the face of land disasters and natural disasters, sometimes even those small sects are powerless to resist, and they are in danger of being destroyed at any time. ”
Land disasters and natural disasters, these two are relatively easy to understand, and they are nothing more than natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons.
"So, what about the human robbery?" Ye Kong asked.
"The heavy losses caused by the great damage caused by the monks who have cultivated to fight each other in crowded places such as villages and towns are called human robbery." Liuli glanced around at the tragic ruins of Bai Village, as if she remembered something, and her face couldn't help but look difficult, "But in Shenzhou, because of the protection of the major sects and families, this usually doesn't happen." Even if those advanced monks want to fight with each other, they will choose some places where there are no people. …… Human robberies often happen in secret realms, and ...... like Baicun "
Liuli didn't say something, but Ye Kong had already understood.
The real world is no better than the game world.
In the game, due to the settings of the system, players cannot fight in the safe zone specified by the system. At the beginning of the closed beta before the game's open beta, no such incident occurred, so Ye Kong never thought about what kind of impact it would have if a monk broke out in a residential area.
Or, even if I thought about it, I didn't think it would be a problem.
After all, it's just a game.
"Huh." Ye Kong laughed silently, "It's really ironic. ”
"Sarcasm?" Liuli didn't understand the other meaning of Ye Kong's words, sighed, and said, "It's really ironic. Countless people aspire to become monks, but they always lose themselves after gaining enough strength, forgetting that they were once part of this multitude. ”
"Let's go, suddenly I don't have the appetite to eat." Ye Kong shook his head, turned around and slowly left the White Village.
Liuli looked at Ye Kong's back, turned his head to look at the tragic situation in Bai Village, and then turned around to keep up with Ye Kong's pace.
The two walked in silence, neither of them spoke.
Ye Kong was thinking about where he should go.
And Liuli was thinking about what Ye Kong's identity was.
Whether it is from the perspective of combat experience, consciousness or any other aspect, Ye Kong is obviously a practical person from the secret realm like her, which can be seen from Ye Kong's combat methods in the cloudy secret realm, and he does not have a trace of the hesitant character of the local monk of Shenzhou at all. And what surprised Liuli even more was Ye Kong's profound knowledge, he knew almost everything to a considerable extent.
This understanding is not just a theoretical statement, but a knowledge that has been completely deep into the soul.
It's like everyone knows and even recognizes Bixiang flowers, but they don't understand the method of picking them at all. But Ye Kong's shot did not hesitate at all, and it was so neat that it made people feel a little incredible, as if they had picked the fragrant flowers countless times.
If Ye Kong was an old man or an elder with a very high rank, then perhaps no one would be surprised.
But the breath of life traces emanating from Ye Kong's body is a little younger than Yin Yue and Liuli, which is the most incredible thing.
If there is only one kind of fragrant flower, then it may be said that it is cultivated in the family, and there are occasional hands-on training, so there is a lot of experience. But in the medicine garden in the cloudy secret realm, there are dozens of different kinds of spirit plants in the medicine garden of the Four Seasons Garden, and he can pick each of them, which is not at all explained by his family background.
Liuli is really incomprehensible.
In front of him, Ye Kong had been completely covered with an extremely mysterious veil.
And she can't wait to lift the veil.
But Liuli also knew that if she really let her temperament move, then the final result was likely to be that she would completely fall out with Ye Kong, and the friendship that she had accumulated during this trip to the secret realm would also disappear. So after a certain desire emerged, it was quickly suppressed by her.
"What's next?" After a long silence, Liuli was a little uncomfortable, so she took the lead in breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Not yet." Ye Kong thought about it and found that he really didn't seem to have anything to do, "Perhaps, go back and teach the disciple." You know, after all, I still took in apprentices, so it's not too good to just leave the apprentices aside and run out by myself. ”
Hearing Ye Kong say this, Liuli also burst out laughing: "Okay, then it seems that we are really going to break up here." ”
"Hey, that's a little weird." Ye Kong smiled.
"Is there anything weird?" Ruri was a little puzzled.
"Nothing." Ye Kong shook his head, of course he knew that people in this world would not know what "breaking up" meant.
"What a strange person, so ......"
But before Liuli finished speaking, she saw Ye Kong's face change suddenly, and the momentum in her body actually became murderous and awe-inspiring, full of a particularly terrifying aura.
Even in the Cloudy Sky Secret Realm, even if he encountered a Yin Demon or was even attacked by a demon beast when he was taking the Night Pearl, Ye Kong did not show this situation, which made Liuli feel extremely surprised.
What happened to make Ye Kong reveal such an angry and cold side?
"What's wrong? Can I help? ”
"Help...... It's good. Ye Kong hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, the look on his face was extremely cold, and the undisguised murderous aura fully explained that Ye Kong was in a really bad mood at this moment, "Then there will be work." ”
"You're welcome." Liuli shook her head slightly, "So, can you tell me what happened?" ”
"It's probably too late to explain now, so let's talk as we go." Ye Kong opened his mouth and said, "However, do you have any flying props?" It can be a bit long and we are in a hurry, so ......"
"Leave it to me." Liuli chuckled, and then casually sacrificed a shuttle-shaped floating boat.
