The central highland of the Eastern Stone Village, this was the highest place Li Chen had seen in this Blood Vine Demon Forest so far. The foundation rocks here alone were already thirty or forty meters taller than the trees in the Blood Vine Demon Forest outside of this stone forest.

On the edge of this protruding highland, it is surrounded by stone guardrails by the people of the eastern stone village. Li Chen: They could follow the fence and look out into the dense blood vine demon forest around them.

The boundless Blood Vine Demon Forest looked from here, and was sprinkled with a layer of golden light by the dazzling sunlight.

Li Chen took a deep breath of the fresh air in the sky, only the assessment of the central stone village was left, he could participate in the blood vine trial, and find a way to get the blood vine, maybe in the future, when the baron arrived on Mars, he Li Chen would never have the opportunity to come to this magical world again.

When he arrived at the center of the village in the Central Highlands, Li Chen also learned about the true strength of genetic inheritance.

The villagers of the entire village, at a glance, except for the children and women who have not yet grown up, although the other men do not look as exaggerated as the nine brothers from Shi Yi to Shi Jiu, they are far beyond the level of ordinary people's strong men!

In fact, the people of the Eastern Stone Village have the least contact with other people in the Stone Village Clan, and they used to receive visitors from other villages only in the Stone Forest below, and only when something big happened in the clan and they needed to gather in the Eastern Stone Village, the Eastern Stone Village would allow people from other villages to enter this central highland.

And Li Chen was the first outsider in this eastern stone village to be led to this central highland!

After Shi Yi informed the village chief of Shi Village in the east, Li Chen saw those men with exaggerated stature jumping down the rock wall of the central high ground with guns or spears in their hands, without taking the gentle mountain road they had taken up the mountain at all.

Women and children, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs or scimitars around their waists, also slid down a rope from a large waterfall down the mountain.

Li Chen was dumbfounded, and he asked Shi Jiudao, who didn't go to see the village head, "Brother Shi Jiu!" What are you doing here? There is a good road, why not take it!? ”

"They're going out hunting and gathering food! They can't go that way! Shi Jiu is worthy of being a person from Shicun in the east, and he only picks a key answer when he speaks, and there is no superfluous explanation at all.

Shi Da has also been with Li Chen for nearly ten days, and naturally saw the crux of his question, Shi Jiu didn't answer it at all, so he explained for Shi Jiu, "This smooth road was originally prepared for the Eastern Stone Village to welcome VIPs, and ordinary clansmen are not allowed to walk directly from this mountain road!" ”

"What if you meet someone who is unwell?" Li Chen asked.

Shi Da paused when he heard Li Chen's question, "If you are only temporarily unwell, you can rest on the mountain for a while, and then talk about it when your body is better!" ”

"If it is really in the twilight of life, then you can only choose to live in the stone forest under the mountain, and you must no longer easily go to the central highlands to live!"

"Even children, when they can't go up and down the central highlands through that waterfall by themselves, can only live on the mountain all the time, and are not allowed to go down at all."

Li Chen's heart was also sour when he heard this tradition of the stone village in the east, and he actually felt sorry for the old people who could no longer climb this central highland.

I was born on this central highland, and when I was old and about to become ancient, I had to live alone in the stone forest at the foot of this mountain, far away from the village.

Shi Da didn't notice Li Chen's expression this time, he continued, "When the villagers of Eastern Shicun in their twilight years feel that their limit is approaching, they will choose to climb the mountain again, and on that day, the village will hold a funeral ceremony for the mountaineer, and when the mountaineer climbs the heights, it will be the moment when the funeral begins!" ”

"Hey! Fallen leaves return to the roots! Li Chen barely got a little comfort when he heard this ending, he would not accuse the village of not treating the elderly well with the education and civilization he had received, this is their culture's respect for their inheritance, Li Chen thinks that he is not qualified to do this, he can only maintain the attitude of a bystander to sigh and admire.

After the men from the eastern stone village disappeared into the stone forest below, Li Chen and his party were also led by Shi Jiu to a stone temple in the middle of the central highlands.

It was only the first time that Li Chen had seen such large-scale man-made structures in the major stone villages, including the stone fences around the central highlands, which were also unique to the eastern stone villages.

At the door of this stone temple stood a huge stone tablet, about three meters high, with a blood-red dye concave a complex font, Li Chen recognized this character at a glance, this is the strange font in the memory capsule - East!

Looking inward, the temple is surrounded by tall pillars lined up in a row, and above these pillars, a large complete stone circular canopy fits perfectly into it.

Sunlight shines through the gaps between the stone pillars into the temple, and a huge gilded figure can be faintly seen shining in the sunlight.

And under the legs of the huge gilded figure sitting cross-legged, facing the gate of the stone temple, there were also nine figures sitting cross-legged. The person at the front sat alone in the first column, this person was different from most of the people in the eastern stone village, the whole person seemed to be refined and thin, and his height was also a normal ordinary height, not as exaggerated as Shi Yi and them.

And the other eight figures sitting behind him don't have to think about it, they are the eight brothers from Shi Yi to Shi Ba.

A group of several people walked to the gate of the stone temple, Shi Jiu stopped the rest of the people except Li Chen, and only allowed Li Chen and his unscrupulous pet Xiao Hei to follow in.

"Little friend, please sit at will, the old man has some questions and wants to ask Xiaoyou for advice!" Li Chen entered the stone temple and walked more than twenty steps before he walked to the foot of the huge figure, looking at the figure of this figure seems to be extremely close to the figure of the inheritance trial in this eastern stone village, it should be a strong man born alone in this eastern stone village.

"Old man, if you have any questions, just ask, and you will know everything below!" Li Chen heard the lone person sitting under the stone statue speak, and then turned his gaze to them.

But I saw that this person was also an old man who looked about the same age as the village chief of Shicun in the middle of the country, wearing a lean and capable black shirt, although his muscles and bones looked dry and thin, but in fact, he was introverted and had a deep momentum. It is estimated that this person is the village chief of this eastern stone village.

Shi Jiu also sat on a futon behind the old man at some point, and sat silently with his eyes closed with his eight brothers in place.

"I see that Xiaoyou's breath is calm, his steps are light, and his external atmosphere is vigorous and turbulent! But why is the internal qi not obvious, bleak and unpretentious!? The old man first asked about his doubts when he first met Li Chen.

"Huh!?" Li Chen was slightly startled, this old man who was dedicated to cultivation in the eastern stone village was really extraordinary, and he could actually see the situation of his physical body at a glance through his divine soul. "I'll tell you the truth, when I first practiced the exercises, I didn't know why, I was rushed into the sea of yin veins by a large amount of starlight divine power, causing the dantian to be damaged, and now the starlight divine power has permeated the whole body, and I can't detect the situation in my body at all!"
