【Sheporte Village】

The burning 'firewood' from the fireplace of the village chief's house actually billowed black smoke, which was more like a sun-dried biological limb than some kind of wood.

The village chief, who is about two and a half meters tall, is sitting at the dining table.

Even the thick trench coat could not hide his strong, even unreasonable body, and the oversized, waterproof leather shoes that fell on the floor seemed to have been specially made for him by the village shoemaker.

The wooden table of normal specifications is similar to a toy in front of him,

Black skin with pure black eyes,

The large calloused hand with black runes laid flat on the table,

The village chief seemed to be restrained at the moment, because opposite him sat a 'guest' wrapped in black robes.

In front of the guests was a special 'fine wine' prepared by the village chief - powdery, bubbling and slightly fishy.

"Is there anything about the assistant coming to me?"

"Two humans are approaching the village......"

"It's the same as last time, is it a sacrifice that came to send you to death?"

"It's not the same, just the two of them were able to easily penetrate the 'human tree wall' we cultivated, breaking through the first test designed by me unscathed.

Their performance is very good, and the Lord also values it very much, and may be able to become a key [sacrifice].

And you and your village will be their second test.

If necessary, let them destroy the entire village...... After all, the ritual of the Lord is in its final stages, and everything here has no meaning to 'her birth'.

Other than that

This is the gift of your hard work during this time, and it has been given by the Lord Himself. ”

A hexagonal ebony box sits on the tabletop, and the lid of the box is carved with the symbol of the church, a newborn juvenile surrounded by an umbilical cord.

Even if the box is tightly sealed, you can still smell the 'new breath' in it.

When the village chief saw this, his whole body began to get excited, and everything he did was for this moment, to get this gift that could give 'new life'.

Open the lid,

A bloodstained umbilical cord is contained in the shape of a disc.

When the village chief stretched out his hand, the umbilical cord actually squirmed.

The moment the two touched, the village chief instantly fell into the memories of his former youth, and even could clearly feel the vigor and vitality of the time and the energetic body.

Just when the village chief wanted to connect further with the umbilical cord.

The black-robed assistant suddenly reached out and pressed the village chief's wrist, temporarily interrupting the connection process.

"Remember! Once you get the umbilical cord, it means that you have established a "blood relationship" with an adult...... If you do anything against the church and against the will of adults, this relationship will be forcibly severed.

You will be removed from the ranks of the 'new humans'. ”

"I'll get the job done."

……

Camera cut back (Yi Chen and Kim)

On the way to the village, nothing happened, not even a single villager.

"It's strange that even if the villagers who have spawned don't hinder us too much, it's not like there is no one at all, not even a watchman.

It's as if they are actively waiting for us to go over, waiting for us to set foot in the important place of the village,

It is likely that there will be traps and ambushes within the village, or perhaps the church that occupies it is brewing a special plan that we are not aware of. ”

Kim doesn't care at all,

"Nothing to worry about...... Only the weak like to procrastinate for time.

I've been in a lot of similar situations, and in the end, no matter what they do, I'm still easy to blow up. ”

She still walked with a light step, jumping and walking in front.

Soon

Village buildings began to appear in view, and even Kim quickly slowed down and eventually stopped when he saw such a scene.

The little grape also came out from between the collars, and looked at the spectacle in front of him with Yi Chen:

"It's no wonder that since we entered the tree wall, we haven't seen any animals except [chickens]...... Is it all concentrated in the village?

What the hell is going on here......"

Yi Chen moved to a nearby point on higher ground and observed a corner of the village that was completely sick.

According to the village map provided by Granny Chicken, the village of Sheporte was once the largest village in the valley among the woods.

In terms of area, it is even much larger than [Green Lake Town],

At present, the village presented in Yi Chen's eyes is shrouded in a layer of psychedelic fog that is different from ashing, mainly purple and red.

Like a veil that envelops the village, any creature that sets foot in the village will inevitably be affected and corrupted by this psychedelic fog.

The mammals that used to live inside the tree walls all gathered in the village for some reason.

As far as the eye can see, the roads and the surfaces of buildings are crowded with the 'bodies' of animals, and it even feels that these animals are the main part of the village environment.

The reason why it is used as 'body' is because it is impossible to determine whether these animals are alive or dead, and in their specific state.

Their flesh merges with each other, sticking to the ground, sticking to or hanging on the surface of residential buildings, and even completely embedded in the soil and the road, for example:

1. You can see a bison covered with rabbits in the middle of the road, and there are white hairs similar to rabbit tails squirming in the abdominal cavity.

2. A goat covered in bats hangs from the edge of the roof, and even grows a rudimentary body similar to a bat's wings on the back of the goat.

3. Strange swollen bodies with the characteristics of rats, pigs, horses, and black bears wriggle and crawl through the streets, quite slowly.

4. Some large rooftops are lying on ...... There was even a floating elephant carcass, which was extremely swollen from the strange gas accumulated in its body, and it was like an oversized balloon with a pink luster.

The trunk is raised high, and with each breath it will exhale a large amount of phantom substance.

……

However, these animals all have one thing in common.

Their bodies are covered with large, colorful fungi of different shapes (elephants are mostly found in their bodies).

The fungus connects to their flesh, and the surface of the fungus umbrella has pores, and the spore dust is exhaled as the animals breathe...... It is also this dust that forms the psychedelic fog that envelops the village.

Other than that

As far as I can see, there is still not a single 'person' in the villages.

"Was it deliberately lured us into the village, or was it through this "empty city plan" to persuade us to make a detour and drive us quickly to the church in the back mountain?

The current information is far from sufficient, and since it is in the investigation stage, it is better to find out all of it.

If you go directly to the church, you may miss some important details, or even key clues."

At this time, the little grape suddenly sounded:

"William, the village in front of you can be counted as a [Gray Land]...... Even though you have plants, clothing, and my protection, you still have to pay attention.

The guy who can create the [Unnatural Gray Zone] is very difficult to deal with, so you must make sure that you are in good shape before you find this guy."

"Isn't it a natural gray zone?" Got it.'"

Yi Chen spread his five fingers and put his hands close to his face, weaving a full protective mask.

"Kim, do you need my help making a filter mask?"

Kim tapped the colorful mask on his face with the tip of his finger, indicating that he didn't need ...... At the same time, her body trembled.

"Grey Field! Although the scope is small, it is indeed the Gray Field...... [environment] has been completely infected and chaotic, and my body is actually refusing to step into the village, which is so interesting.

Come on, I can't wait to go inside. ”

When Yi Chen jumped from the high point and walked along the stone road of the village, Jin actually took the initiative to take his hand and interlocked his fingers.

There's no other meaning here.

"TACT-EXPLORE"

It is a common gray field investigation method for novices, which means that the team needs to maintain direct physical contact when conducting the gray field investigation for the first time.

Such contact can effectively prevent the dynamic environment between the gray areas from separating the team, and can also detect each other's mental status, alert each other and reduce the possibility of mental intrusion.

Although Kim seems very impulsive, he wants to obtain the flesh of the strong. But after all, this is her first time exploring the Gray Realm, and if the people are gone, the fun will be gone.

When the two of them stepped into the village together,

The village seemed to feel the arrival of outsiders, and the spore dust that filled the air gathered in a targeted manner.

Even with the isolation of clothing, the body temperature of the two of them gradually increased, and a primitive biological desire began to spread in the body.
