The Phantom World team, which was almost completely mixed with the woodland at their feet, and it was extremely difficult to distinguish the difference between the walking teams on the road, and they were vaguely divided into three sections under safety considerations-1-The front of the team was Mu Yuchen and Zhao Xin, Tan Jian, Zhou Zhichao, Yu Wenwei, He Qin, and Ning Caichen were in the middle, and Menghuo, Song Yan, and Ye Lin were at the end of the team.

"Ning Caichen! How long do we have to go before we reach Montenegro!? Yu Wenwei looked up at the sun that was crawling towards the highest point in the sky, calculating the past time and the distance she walked, and in the wilderness where there was no road to speak of, the girl who had walked for a morning asked the only one who knew where the destination was.

The newcomers who were almost in the same situation, invariably Wen Wei asked questions and looked at Ning Caichen beside him with expectant eyes. The poor little scholar had never received the attention of so many people in his life, and for a moment he seemed to be a little overwhelmed and flustered.

"...... in this direction." Ning Caichen tried to explain the route of the trip, but unfortunately his clumsy gestures and clumsy combination of words not only failed to make the newcomers understand, but even made them even more confused.

"Watch the road beneath your feet! What's different from before? Walking behind the whole procession, the fierce fire behind the hall said to the newcomers: "We are almost at our destination!" Let's be honest! You should really learn to look more closely at every little detail of your life! Maybe! When this habit will save your life! ”

"A change in the road? Are you sure that we are indeed walking on the road? He Qin was so fierce that he could faintly see the dirt under his feet. But on the ground where many unknown weeds were growing, she stomped on it a few times viciously, and she couldn't suppress the resentment in her chest and said, "It's a pity! I don't see any difference at all! ”

"The ground is much harder than it was just now! The weeds that grow are much taller too! Just as He Qin was complaining, Tan Jian squatted down and used his hands and eyes. Touch yourself and observe the ground beneath your feet. "This difference should be stepped on! But there are very few people on this road! If you don't pay attention, you will hardly notice anything at all! ”

"So, you have to be more careful!" Mu Yuchen, who was the leader of the pathfinder at the front of the team, walked around the newcomers with an indifferent gaze and seemed to be calm: "Have the strength to speak!" Why don't you speed it up! Maybe! We were able to reach the village ahead in the early afternoon! Take a break! ”

"There is a village in front to rest! That's great! ......" He Qin, who was almost about to jump up with joy, was dragged by Yu Wenwei beside him, and the eyes of the two immediately collided with each other, and then He Qin quieted down a little at a loss in the gesture of Wen Wei's eyes.

A fragment of information revealed in Mu Yuchen's words. It was well understood by the newcomers, and the fatigue of walking hard all morning seemed to have gradually subsided a lot. The ratio of weeds to dirt on the ground beneath your feet continues to change with the footsteps of the forefoot. All the information proves to the newcomers that there is indeed a human village ahead.

However, compared to the various relaxed and happy expressions that the newcomers unconsciously showed, most of the veterans in the Phantom World team frowned at this moment. The newcomers were completely unaware of the sides of the road. The trees that were originally lush and leafy are changing subtly but visibly with the naked eye.

"Captain! Trees on both sides of the road! It seems to be much darker than it was just now! Zhao Xin quietly moved half a step to the side, approached Mu Yuchen's side and said in an almost whispered voice: "There seems to be a strange smell in the air!" Although I can't say what it feels like! But it gives me terrible gut feeling! ”…,

"Demon power!! Or demonic! ~~-Update~~ What we see now is only the outermost outermost! The real change will take a few more steps to see! "Mu Yuchen's subtle perception ability is far beyond Zhao Xin's, from the breath leaking from the abnormal trees around him. Feeling something very similar to the aura of the wolf demon, he said very firmly: "I have a sense of foreboding! We're in a lot of trouble this time! ”

"You mean! These trees change! It has something to do with that tree demon grandma in Lanruo Temple!? A flash of crimson flashed in Zhao Xin's eyes. She said this very sharply.

"Hey! The first two! What are you whispering? Could it be adultery? Mu Yuchen, who was about to answer Zhao Xin, had not yet spoken, and Song Yan's shouting voice was full of Pu Kan's taste. It sounded from the tail at the very end of the team, focusing everyone's attention on Zhao Xin and Mu Yuchen in a seemingly intimate manner.

"Yeon-yeon! If you're jealous! Why don't we change it! The arc of the black green silk diffused an alluring luster in the air, Zhao Xin's face bloomed with a flower-like smile, and in an instant, the male animals in the middle of the team were collectively stunned in the confusion, and she was not to be outdone and said to Song Yan as if she was fighting back.

"Don't! The captain type isn't my cup of tea! "Song Yan, who was originally full of interest, quickly died down in Zhao Xin's bright smile, and she quickly transferred the firepower of her mouth cannon and concentrated it, and suddenly Mu Yuchen became the ultimate victim." I like beautiful men! Captain's face! What an appetite! ”

Song Yan's playful words immediately caused fierce fire and Ye Lin to laugh, and even Zhao Xin was so careless, turning his delicate and moving face to Mu Yuchen's side beside him, and nodded approvingly after some research and research. As for Mu Yuchen, who was in the center of Park Kan, his face was full of helplessness, and then he habitually ignored Song Yan's provocation.

The atmosphere of the team was slightly more lively as it was advancing, but in the blink of an eye, this activity was dissipated by the sudden changes in front of them. Standing in the still verdant number, the people of the Illusory World looked down at almost all of them below, black inky numbers and withered yellow weeds. An instinctive anomaly surfaced in the bottom of my heart, and the veterans and newcomers stood still almost at the same time.

"You haven't been to Montenegro before! Listen to the old-timers in the yamen! Since one day more than a decade ago, all the numbers and weeds within a radius of ten miles around Montenegro have gone from green. Suddenly it became the current decaying look! The same gray scenery that suddenly changed in front of him, Ning Caichen, who paused for a few seconds, said as if he had already known the way.

"Yamen? Ning Caichen!? Aren't you there to collect the bills? Song Yan, whose expression changed instantly, blurted out in surprise.

"Debt collection? What do you collect? Fortunately, Ning Caichen, who had a confused face, did not ask Song Yan more questions, and the scholar said like an explanation: "I went to Black Mountain Village on business!" Where is the drought! I'm here to help Black Mountain find water! ”

"Black Mountain Village? ......" Yu Wenwei's face showed a thoughtful look, she repeated the name in a whisper, but she was silent when she wanted to speak and stopped.

"Keep going!" Mu Yuchen, who was silent for a while, pressed his eyes. After a few seconds of pause, he said commandingly.

Everyone who walked into the gray forest seemed to be infected by the environment, and unconsciously became a little cautious, but it was Ning Caichen, who was powerless. The gesture was very calm. The more the decaying color of the vegetation increases, the closer it is to the gray-black color of painstaking thinking, even the evergreen bamboo trees of the four seasons. …,

However, although the verdant green hills were all dyed gray, the winding path under the feet of the Phantom World Team finally revealed the road that tens of millions of people walked and trampled on. It's clear that this area has entered. The good news that human beings gather in villages for production and living activities has undoubtedly made the newcomers a lot happier.

Along the increasingly crowded road, countless ropes hung between the trees, carved with all sorts of strange charms. But there was a bamboo tube that swayed like a wind chime, appearing above and to the right and left of the heads of the Phantom World team. After continuing to walk forward for about a quarter of an hour, a stone tablet surrounded by various clay gods and goddesses appeared under the tree.

"Black Mountain Village! It should be here! Ning Caichen used the sleeve of his robe with one hand. Wiping the sweat droplets that filled his forehead, he pointed to the traditional characters carved on the stone tablet and said.

"Everything has gone to the entrance of the village! Or is there no one!? Tan Jian said with a strange face while looking at his surroundings.

"Someone here can be sure of it! Just look at the traces of these worships! Zhou Zhichao squatted in front of the clay sculptures around the boundary monument at the entrance of the village, pointed to the obviously new remnants of burning incense and said: "As for where those people are now!" Then there really is only the Devil's Knowledge! Look at so many idols here! Eighty percent of the problems in this village! ”

"Alright!! What's the use of saying this! You're not Sherlock Holmes! Reasoning can solve all the puzzles! He Qin, who bent over and kept rubbing his thighs, said impatiently. There are no living people! Go in and take a look! Say it...... the sky"

He Qin obviously had some opinions about Tan Jian and Zhou Zhichao, and her cold words made the two of them angry. Yu Wenwei paid attention to the expressions of the seniors, and at the same time signaled He Qin with her eyes to restrain her emotions. Mu Yuchen and the others and Ning Caichen had already started, and they walked towards the interior of Black Mountain Village.

Walking on the road made of simple piles of large stones, all the way towards the interior of the village, the people still did not see the shadow of half a living person. Low houses made of thatched and earth, cut off on the opposite bank by a completely dry river, and a simple bridge built by hand stretches along the road under the foot into the interior of the village.

Ning Caichen, who had already carried the bamboo tube in the basket on the road, and drank all the clear water, suddenly walked two steps quickly and ran to the side of the road, and the wellhead was stacked into a circle by rocks. In Mu Yuchen's source perception, this well was already on the verge of drying up, and only the little remaining at the bottom was left, mixed with a large amount of sediment, and the dusky yellow sewage.

In the process of Ning Caichen's skillful use of the bucket tied to the ancient tree on the side to draw water, a few villagers with yellow hair and yellow hair in coarse cloth and linen holding farm tools walked out from a certain branch of the road. Song Yan, who wanted to go up to ask for directions, only took two steps forward, but was stopped by Mu Yuchen's outstretched arm, and the others immediately cast suspicious glances at him.

"Don't move! Those guys aren't in a good mood right now! It seems that hostility has developed towards us! Mu Yuchen explained the reason why he had stopped Song Yan, and the anger on the faces of the villagers who had quickened their pace was obvious. Then he gave the best annotation to his explanation.

"Hey! Stinky boy! What are you doing! Stealing water! The old man, who looked to be the oldest among the four or five villagers, and whose hair was close to the gray color, completely ignored the difference in numbers between the two sides, rushed over and grabbed Ning Caichen, who was drinking water. He said in a loud voice.

"Nope!" Ning Caichen, who didn't understand what mistake he had made at all, said with a weak breath in a daze.

"Fierce fire!" Mu Yuchen, who was directly ignored by the villagers, popped out of his mouth with these two words. …,

The White Russian man, who was standing at the end of the team, immediately directly pulled out the mountain knife on his waist, and rushed to the old man who was old and strong. The sturdy blade made of titanium alloy shone brightly, and the fierce fire, which was nearly two meters long, was directly like a hill in size. Only in front of the old man in his ordinary.

"What do you want to do! Stealing water doesn't work! Do you still want to rob it! You still don't talk about the king's law! The cold light reflected by the snow-bright blade in the fierce fire easily tore apart the momentum of the old man, and suddenly he seemed to be old and frail, and sat directly on the ground under his feet in the backwards. He shouted as he pointed his trembling arm at the fierce fire.

Seeing that the situation was not good, several villagers behind the old man immediately spread their legs like frightened hares and ran towards the village behind them. Zhao Xin, who understood that the other party wanted to save the soldiers, a trace of dangerous coldness flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to intercept those villagers. However, at this moment, Mu Yuchen's right hand gently fell on her shoulder.

"Let the villagers go! Just in time for them to call out the village stewards! Explain all problems and misunderstandings at once! Mu Yuchen shook his head at Zhao Xin and explained, and then said to Ning Caichen, who was still stunned: "It seems that you are not very welcome in Black Mountain Village!" Is there anything that can prove your yamen identity? Get ready early! We'll have less trouble too! ”

As the saying goes, 'poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people', in the Celestial Empire, the more poor and remote villages are located. The more it spreads, the more simple and united feelings between relatives and neighbors that have been passed down since ancient times. These people may not understand much of the truth. But they will unite against those things that are incorrect or immoral in their perceptions.

Or in these remote corners of the eyes of many. The fact that the ideas and morals that have been handed down since ancient times are not legitimate, does not mean that they have made any mistakes, at least they are protecting their interests. But it is a pity that in the mouths of many official 'positive' propaganda, these people who dare to unite and fight have become a small group of lawless 'people'.

The villagers who rushed into the hut village in a hurry were like drops of water falling into boiling oil, and in an instant they were startled by a series of noisy and piercing explosions, and suddenly the dead village was furiously noisy. The villagers who ran to tell each other picked up various work tools at home, and people gathered quickly on the narrow road.

The fierce fire whistled and looked at the bridge far beyond the dry river, holding high all kinds of farm tools such as rakes, iron bridges, hoes, etc., and all kinds of swear words in his mouth were filled with indignation and scolding, but in the chaos he maintained a certain continuous, vigorous and violent earth-gray villager team, and in an instant his thoughts seemed to have traveled through a long history, returning to the era when the small half-earth was once dyed red.

Facing the people in front of them with their ragged and rotten expressions fiercely holding the 'murder weapon', the black pressure paved the road in front of them for miles and stretching for miles, growing up in the glory of river crabs in the era of harmony, Yu Wenwei, He Qin, Tan Jian, Zhou Zhichao and Ye Lin seemed to be shocked by the power that suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, that belonged to the people, and their holy bodies obviously stiffened unconsciously.

"This rabble! If you're ruthless! Just make reasonable use of the conditions of the illusion! You can level them all by yourself empty-handed! If you use a weapon! ……。 Mu Yuchen said this to Ye Lin with a smile, but his words made the newcomers feel an inexplicable cold from the bottom of their hearts.

"Boom!" The explosion of the cone-shaped metal warhead tearing through the air exploded in the ears of the villagers like thunder on the ground, and the crowd who stopped in terror looked at the dry river channel that suddenly disintegrated and exploded into pieces of splashing stones, and instantly fell into an inexplicable state of silence, and suddenly the courage brought by the number of people went to the brink of collapse.

"Don't look like that! When I was in the mercenary group!! Deal with this rabble! That's what we do! He seemed to feel the fierce fire in everyone's eyes, turned his face sideways and said helplessly: "Why are you making such a fuss!" Your government is doing this all the time! ”

"Yes! For example, chengguan! A few people can easily kill thousands of people! It is because the courage to fight the enemy was destroyed in the first place! Then strike and destroy a small number of enemies, and dispel other targets! In this way, those hawkers will not be connected to each other, and likewise will not lead to possible group incidents. ”

"Everybody has a fluke mentality! No one would think that they would be so unlucky to be caught! And then the lion naturally leads the flock! Mu Yuchen made a translation and explanation of the fierce fire's way of action, which immediately attracted a burst of understanding and low sighs from his teammates beside him.

"So, what's next!" Looking at the crowd that seemed to be solidified, Song Yan asked Mu Yuchen.

"Then it's your turn!" Mu Yuchen looked at Song Yan with a smile and said, "You have to take Ning Caichen to negotiate with the people in power in the opposite village!" ”
