This village is called Dry Water Village. Here, water is an extremely precious resource and very scarce.

During the day, the sun is so strong and the temperature is so high that the eggs are scorched, and most of the plants cannot grow here.

But at night, the temperature is very low, and it only occasionally rains.

The people of the village make a living by hunting and growing a plant that conserves water in particular, called the cotton water tree.

The cotton water tree has almost no leaves and is a bare trunk and branches. And it usually grows very slowly.

But with a single rain, it can instantly grow from a small sapling to a large tree more than three people tall.

One only needs to pierce the bark of any tree trunk to get water out.

And the branches, cut down and stripped of their skin, can be used as food.

"Since it's so hard to survive here, why don't you leave?"

It turned out that the people here, their ancestors, used to be the retinue of the Great Demon King of the Moon.

Since the Moon Love Great Demon King failed to cross the tribulation, other demon kings have come to divide up his various resources.

The ancestors of these villagers fled here and lived in seclusion.

At first, they were afraid to go out. Slowly, it became that they didn't want to go out because they had adapted to life here.

"So, you didn't even think about going out?" Ji Chen asked.

"Yes, of course."

In the village, there used to be some young people who wanted to see the outside world, and they didn't want to be here all their lives, repeating the life of their ancestors.

They wanted to get out, but they couldn't find it.

Later, someone inadvertently found the exit. But whoever walked through the exit never came back. So they're not sure if it's an exit or not.

But there is no other place than that, more likely to be exported.

It's just that this exit is not something that you can walk in casually.

Because it was usually a fog, the passage would only appear soon after outsiders had come to the village.

"Great! Can you take us to see it? Guan Zhilan asked.

"Yes! It's just that now, you can't get out! ”

The village chief explained that according to their village history, the exit was to the east of the village. Just keep walking, see a suspension bridge, walk across the suspension bridge, and you can get out.

It was only the day after the three of them arrived in the village that the village chief sent someone to see the exit. There was still a fog in the place, and it was impossible to get in, let alone get out.

But Ji Chen and Guan Zhilan both wanted to go out and insisted on going to see it, but Wu Hui was noncommittal.

So the village chief arranged for the young man Limeng, with three people, to go to the exit to check.

Ji Chen walked out of the meeting hall, summoned the Chengying Sword, and prepared to take the young man and go away.

However, as soon as the Chengying Sword was summoned, it fell to the ground.

"Huh!"

Ji Chen made another decision, and floated the Chengying Sword in the air, three feet above the ground, but it couldn't get bigger, so it couldn't fly.

Wu Hui saw something strange and jumped into the air, but immediately returned to the ground.

Not reconciled, he lightly touched the ground again, jumping into the air, and this time, he jumped higher than just now.

But immediately, he swayed from side to side, and he raised his hands horizontally, trying to keep his balance, but slowly fell back to the ground.

This time, Wu Hui was furious, stood on the ground, and thought about the law.

After a while, Wu Hui opened his eyes blindly, and tried to jump into the sky.

This time, he jumped higher than the previous two times.

But just as he was ascending, suddenly a thunderbolt from a sunny sky slashed straight above his head.

With a "snap", Wu will fall heavily to the ground.

"Hiss", Wu Hui touched his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Why can't I fly in the air?" Wu will be puzzled.

In the outside world, Monk Tsukiki can fly with a sword, while Monk Jindan can fly through the clouds and fly in the air.

But here, I can't do it, I can only use the art of the sword to fight the enemy.

Several people had no choice but to go on foot.

After a few people climbed an almost bare hill, walked through a small desert, walked over a dry river, and climbed a hill again.

On the side of the cliff at the top of the mountain, there is a stone monument with the inscription "Bridge of No Regrets".

It's just that at this time, behind the stele, it was shrouded in a fog, and it was not clear what was there at all.

Ji Chen picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the thick fog.

There is no reverberation, and it is not known what is on the other side.

Ji Chen made a decision and shot a rocket. The rocket cut through the fog and was gone.

So Ji Chen threw out a puppet talisman, copied a copy of himself, and commanded to walk towards the mist.

As soon as the puppet walked into the mist, Ji Chen sensed that something was interfering with the connection between himself and the puppet.

The further he went, the more difficult it became to get in touch, and Ji Chen began to feel the situation around the puppet.

By the time he had taken more than ten steps, Ji Chen had completely failed to sense the existence of the puppet.

"How?" Guan Zhilan looked at Ji Chen and asked.

Ji Chen shook his head.

The three of them tried their best, but they couldn't find out what was going on behind the fog.

Since they couldn't ensure that their few people could pass safely, the three of them had to go back to the village again.

The three of them asked again about the time the fog of the drawbridge had cleared after the outsiders had come in a few times before.

But the village chief said "uncertain", which can be as short as 10 days or as long as several years.

After several discussions, the three of them could only settle down at the village chief's house next door before making plans.

Early the next morning, there was a knock on the village chief's door.

"Village chief, village chief, it's not good." Rimon shouted.

Ji Chen and the three of them were also woken up by the earth-shattering knock on the door, and they all walked out.

"What's the shouting, what's wrong?" The village chief opened the door unhurriedly.

Limeng hurriedly said, last night, the camels of Aunt Qi's family died, and the death was very strange.

So the village chief took several village warriors and Ji Chen to Qi Daniang's house.

I saw a woman at the door of the house, crying with snot and tears, and muttering: "How can I live here, who did it?" ”

As soon as she saw the village chief coming, she immediately pulled the village chief to the backyard of the house.

A shed was erected here, which was the home of the llama.

The camel was slightly smaller than the camel, with a head like an ox and a body like a camel, with a doublet back and strong limbs. It is generally used to travel and do some hard work.

And Aunt Qi's family raised ten altrum camels.

On weekdays, she hired a few people, wrapped a piece of land that was still a little damp against the mountains, and planted some cotton trees.

Aunt Qi also lives on these cotton water trees, and the land camel is her only capital.

When they walked to the camel shed, they saw that all ten camels were dead.

Looking at the alfalsa again, there are bite marks, the body is white, and there is hardly a trace of blood on the ground.
