Chapter 172: Welcome, Welcome, Warm Welcome (First Update)
Facing the gaze of these spider people, Qu Ember felt a little crazy in his heart.
Because after he whistled, he probably said something strange in a crooked way, which made these spider-men misunderstand him.
So he whistled again, this time a little more breathlessly, but there was still a sound of leaking.
Under the whistle, the eyes of the surrounding spider people changed again.
The ambiguity and hunger became more intense, but not at Qu Ash, but at the companions around him.
Under Qu Ash's gaze, one by one, the spider-men crawled towards their companions.
And it's all women crawling to men.
The next picture could not be described, which made Qu Yan's eyes widen.
He walked past the Spider-Men in pairs and got out of here as soon as he could.
But there were so many spider-men that he walked at least a hundred meters before leaving the area where they were.
Under the whistle just now, these spider-men seemed to be immersed in that atmosphere, and they were no longer hostile to Qu Ash.
After walking a few hundred meters, Qu Shen came to a strange place, which seemed to be a farmland, and the surroundings were dark and gloomy, and he couldn't see too far.
This made Qu Yan's heart have a bad premonition.
Especially when he turned around and found that there was also a dark and dreary area behind him, the bad premonition was even stronger.
At the same time, Qu Shen also had a certain guess in his heart.
Looking back and forth, he turned and walked back behind him.
But further back, he didn't see the group of spider-men.
Walking on the ridge, he has a feeling of walking in the underworld in the middle of the night.
Although it was going back, Qu Ember walked for a long time and did not come to the end.
Now his guess in his mind is becoming more and more certain, he must have fallen into the Savage Tribe.
Qu Shen took out his phone and looked at it, just as he thought, there was no signal.
Unable to make a phone call, he had to walk out on his own.
At this time, he checked the invisible shield curse, as well as his spiritual armor curse, all of which were intact, and he was slightly relieved.
Just when he thought that he might be walking this road for a long time, he finally came to the end of the ridge.
Because of the limited visibility, he faintly saw a house ahead.
The house looks like a hut and also looks like a shack.
But there was movement in this house, and it seemed like someone was moving around inside.
"Ahem!"
After thinking about it, I only heard Qu Ember cough.
Hearing his cough, the sound of someone moving inside, disappeared.
Immediately after that, a man walked out of it.
This is a woman in a period costume.
The other man looked to be in his early twenties, with his hair in a bun and a hairpin. She was wearing a long white dress and looked fairy-like.
Seeing this strangely dressed woman, Qu Ember remembered the man in costume who sneaked into the Yuehui Hospital last time to find the thief.
Both men were dressed in strange outfits, and their behavior was abnormal.
And after seeing that the person outside the door was Qu Ash, the woman seemed to be startled, she immediately turned around and went back to the house, and then there was no movement in the house.
"Excuse me, anyone?" Qu Ember asked a nonsense.
But his nonsense, no one answered, the house was quiet.
So he stepped forward, and when he looked into the house, there was not a single ghost in the house, and the woman seemed to have disappeared.
This made Qu Ember even more vigilant and precautionary.
After thinking about it, he remembered that many of the mutations in the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe could be hidden in the dark, such as the thief, and the man in costume who went to the Moonlight Hospital to find the thief.
If so, there's a good chance that the woman just now was also hiding.
Not only that, since the other party can hide, there may be more people hidden in the No. 9 barbarian tribe around Qu Ash.
Thinking of his surroundings, maybe there was someone quietly watching him, Qu Ember felt a slight chill.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a feeling of hunger, and even his stomach was growling.
Under this sudden hunger pang, Qu Ember wants to eat.
Coincidentally, when this hunger pang appeared, he smelled an intoxicating fruity aroma.
Perhaps because of his keen sense of smell, he could even discern the direction in which the fruity aroma was wafting.
As Qu Ember breathed, the fruity aroma became more and more intense, and his hunger became more and more irresistible.
He subconsciously walked in the direction of the fruity aroma.
As he walked some distance in the darkness, he saw a tree in front of him, and it was a fruit tree.
The tree looked very ordinary, with a thigh-thick trunk, scattered branches, and cyan leaves.
On this fruit tree, there are also green and red fruits, which look like apples.
This fruit curl ember is actually not unfamiliar, because it is a devil fruit.
Now that he is extremely hungry, after seeing the Devil Fruit, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and had the urge to pick one and gobble it up.
Under this impulse, he did not hesitate, and strode forward.
The fruit trees weren't tall, and they were all covered with Devil Fruits, some of which were ripe, but some were cyan or even slightly whitish, apparently not ripe yet.
Qu Ember picked a ripe one and held it in his hand.
Just when he was subconsciously about to put it in his mouth, he only heard the voice of the system ring in his head:
Note: You have completed the quest to go to Savage Tribe 9 and pick a Devil Fruit.
System Reward: Mental Forbidden Zone.
The moment he heard the system's reward, Qu Ember seemed to wake up.
At the same time, he saw the Devil Fruit that had been placed in his mouth, and quickly put it down.
He almost swallowed the Devil Fruit, and before he knew it.
Looking back on it now, he felt a little incredible.
After that hunger pang appeared, he smelled a scent, and following the scent, he couldn't resist the urge to take the Devil Fruit.
This feeling was natural, and he didn't notice anything wrong before.
His spiritual armor curse, although it can resist the invasion of spiritual power, the invisible shield curse can also block the attack of external forces.
But neither of them can block the taste, if it is relied on to paralyze him, or even induce his body to produce certain physiological reactions, this is simply unstoppable.
This is also the reason why Qu Ember was hit.
After suddenly waking up under the prompting of the system, Qu Ember found that the hunger pang was gone.
It seems that the hunger pang just now does not exist, it may have been imagined by him, or it was born for some other reason.
In the past, after stepping into the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe, the person who took the Devil Fruit uncontrollably must have had the same experience and experience as him just now.
Looking at the Devil Fruit in his hand, Qu Ash's eyes became a little strange.
"Hey......"
At this moment, a sigh suddenly came from his side, and a figure appeared beside him.
It was the woman in the long white dress just now.
Seeing the other party suddenly appear, Qu Shen was not surprised. Because he had just guessed that this woman could hide in the dark.
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
And maybe he almost swallowed the devil fruit in his hand just now, and it was also the other party's ghost.
After suppressing the killing intent in his heart, he only heard Qu Shen ask, "May I ask if this is in the No. 9 barbarian tribe." ”
As he spoke, he also used the Magic Sound Charm and consumed one thousand taels of energy.
Although he didn't necessarily want to bewitch the other party, Qu Shen hoped that what the other party said to him was true.
The woman in front of him shook her head: "No." ”
After saying that, she added: "This is our orchard, and usually people who come here, we invite them to taste the fruit." ”
Hearing the other party's words, Qu Ember could already be sure that this was the No. 9 Barbarian Tribe.
The reason why the other party denies it may be because the title is different.
Then I heard him say, "How can I get out of here?" ”
The No. 9 Barbarian Tribe is a lair of mutations, and there is not a single ordinary person in it, nor is there anyone with special abilities, so it is very dangerous to stay here.
Although in the past, those with level 2 special abilities successfully retreated after entering the No. 9 barbarian tribe, now Qu Ember is a little suspicious of this kind of thing.
Even he almost got hit, let alone an ordinary level 2 special ability.
Unless those people have special abilities that can resist the invisible hunger pangs and resist the temptation of Devil Fruits.
"It's a bit far out of here." Just listen to the woman in front of him.
"Can you show me the way, I'm from outside, and there are still people waiting for me outside."
The woman looked at him and did not answer his question, but said, "I still have to look at the orchard here, so I can't leave, you go over there and ask, our people here are very welcoming." ”
After finishing speaking, she also pointed in a certain direction to Qu Ash.
The corners of Qu Yan's eyes twitched, and he didn't dare to go to the path that the other party pointed him. To leave, he just had to go in the opposite direction.
"Can I still pick two of these fruits?" As he spoke, he looked at the Devil Fruit again.
Since you have picked them all, there is no difference between picking one and picking two or three.
"Generally speaking, you will be full if you eat one, and you can pick two more if you still want to eat." The woman in the white dress nodded.
Qu Ember was not polite, so he picked two more Devil Fruits, and he didn't dare to pick more.
His pocket is not small, and he can fit three of them.
After picking it, he smiled and said, "Then I'll go over and ask for directions." ”
"Okay." The other nodded again.
So Qu Ember walked in the direction that the woman was pointing.
"Huh!"
At this moment, the woman in front of him sighed softly.
Qu Ember stopped and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
I only heard this woman say, "How can you have the director's whistle?" ”
After finishing speaking, she also looked at a piece of rope exposed from Qu Ash's pocket.
Qu Ember also glanced down at the rope on the whistle, and then asked, "Who is the director?" ”
The other party did not answer, but shook his head, "The director has a lot of whistles, and sometimes he gets lost." ”
Qu Shen asked tentatively, "What happens if you lose it?" ”
"If you lose it, he'll look everywhere."
"Can't find it?" Qu Ember asked again.
"If you can't find it, you can't find it." The woman in the white dress spread her hands.
Qu Ember thought for a moment, and then said with some solemnity: "What if he finds out that I picked up his whistle?" ”
He didn't want the other party to be like Xiao Wang, looking for the key everywhere.
The woman in the white dress shook her head again, "I don't know either. ”
It seems that she can't answer Qu Ash's question.
After not getting an answer, Qu Yan changed his words: "By the way, what do you call it." ”
"You can call me Tiantian."
"Okay, I remember." Qu Ember nodded.
With that, he walked in the direction that the woman named Tian Tian was pointing.
After walking a distance and feeling out of the other party's line of sight, Qu Ember immediately changed to the opposite direction.
He didn't want to enter the Savage Tribe No. 9, and he didn't want to meet the rest of the Barbarian Tribe No. 9.
When he changed direction and walked a few hundred meters, he faintly saw a thick black wall appear in front of him.
It was a brick wall, and it looked old and a little old, like it was only in a costume TV series.
In the middle of this heavy wall, there is also a double open door.
On either side of the gate, there were six people standing in two rows, as if they had been waiting here for a long time.
These six men are male and female, young and old. But all of them wore costume costumes without exception.
Some look like shopkeepers, some look like chivalrous, and some look like old women.
But Qu Ember soon discovered the clue, and the shopkeeper was wearing a pair of leather shoes at his feet. The knight's wrist also showed a shirt sleeve.
When they saw Qu Ember appear, a smile appeared on their faces and they began to applaud:
"Welcome, welcome! Put out the welcome mat! ”
"Welcome, welcome! Put out the welcome mat! ”
Seeing this situation, Qu Ember took a breath and stood in place a little dumbfounded.
