Chapter 184: The Drained Corpse
After saying this, the knife-carrying generals Qin Fei and Xie Nanai were invited into his home as guests.
Almost all of the houses inhabited by the people of the Mushroom Village, including the knife-carrying man, were built with a giant mushroom.
In addition to its hard texture, this mushroom also emits a faint light from its inside.
The underworld is very dimly lit, but with this kind of 'mushroom house' with its own light source, the people of the village don't need to rely too much on torches for lighting.
After entering the 'mushroom room', the knife-carrying man explained to Qin Fei the origin of these people.
It turns out that most of the ancestors of these people have crossed over from the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty in China.... That is, the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
And the reason why they crossed over here was actually because of a strange 'demon wind'.
These people were sent to this huge cave by the 'demonic wind', and because they couldn't leave the place, they were forced to settle here.
In the years they have lived in this underworld, almost every month, the 'demonic wind' will send a new batch of people here.
Over time, as the number of people increased, this kind of underground village was formed.
After listening to the words of the man with the knife, Qin Fei was thoughtful.
No wonder, these people didn't have much doubt about the arrival of themselves and Xie Nanai, but they just showed a little curiosity in their eyes.
It turned out that it was not only Qin Fei and Xie Nanai who traveled through this world.
Almost all of these people have crossed over!
In addition, Qin Fei also found that although he had used the skill of 'sulfur fire' in front of the man with the knife, this person did not show any curiosity or fear.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Fei quickly figured this out.
The people in this village, for some reason, have already reached the point of being 'inhuman'.
Maybe it's because they are not very human themselves, they won't feel too surprised after seeing Qin Fei spew out that 'blood pillar'!
After explaining the general situation of the village to Qin Fei, the man with the knife arranged the two of them in an empty 'mushroom house' for Qin Fei and them to rest.
Before leaving, the man with the knife specially instructed the two of them a few words.
Living in this underground cavern, you must follow the rules of the village in order to survive safely.
In the area where they live, there is a 'green' area where the sun shines, and here, Qin Fei and they can move around at will.
With a little attention, predators will appear around you and you'll be fine.
Deeper in the cavern, there is an area of 'blue light' that grows with blue mushrooms and emits a blue glow.
It was a place that Qin Fei and they were absolutely not allowed to go.
Not everyone in the village will abide by this rule, but no one who walks into the 'blue light' zone has ever come back alive.
Over time, it became a no-go area in the village, and the fear of death made it difficult for anyone to violate it.
At the end, the knife man added a little more.
And this is the most important point: never go to land, day or night!
After Qin Fei listened to the instructions of the man with the knife, he quickly understood.
In this way, although there is a group of 'ancient people' who have traveled through the aberration world, and creatures like poisonous lizards have also been strengthened and become extremely large.
However, the general topography of the underworld has not changed much.
Similar to the setting in the game, the distorted underground world is also divided into different areas such as "green area", "blue light area" and "ground".
And each area has different degrees of danger.
……
After only Qin Fei and Xie Nanai were left in the room, a blue light suddenly appeared from the diamond-shaped crystal on their wrists.
[New Mission: Survive the Aberrations for 30 Days!] 】
【Reward: Unknown】
After seeing the mission information that appeared in the diamond-shaped crystal, Qin Fei was stunned.
How simple is this task?
As long as you stay in this underground world and survive for 30 days, you can do it?
Wrong....
According to Qin Fei's experience summed up after crossing so many times, he estimated that after he completed the task of 'surviving for 30 days', there would definitely be follow-up tasks.
In other words, the 30 days in the mission should be the time for Qin Fei to prepare and collect clues.
Thinking of this, Qin Fei began to analyze it carefully.
What will be the follow-up quest in the diamond crystal?
According to Qin Fei's understanding of the game Ark, the most powerful monster in the aberration should be the 'Rockwell' that injected the 'Tektronix Original Solution' into his body and caused it to mutate itself.
At the same time, Rockwell is also the final boss in the main story of the aberration.
Qin Fei guessed that the next task he and Xie Nanai would receive might be to kill this guy.
……
Although the village was built underground.
However, since the village is located in the underground 'greenery' area, there is still some sunlight that can shine through the cracks in the roof of the cave.
Therefore, there is also a distinction between day and night.
It's just that the light is a little bit dimmer.
It was fast night and night.
Nothing was said all night.
When Qin Fei woke up again, there was a noisy conversation outside the door.
After Qin Fei and Xie Nanai walked out of the mushroom room, they found that almost all the people in the village had walked out of the mushroom room and stood outside.
They sat in a circle, as if they were discussing something.
It seems that something big should have happened in the village ....
After Qin Fei walked into the crowd, he saw a dead body on the ground.
The dead were a man with no scars on his body, but his facial expression at the time of death was extremely painful
The weirdest thing is that this person's figure is a little outrageously thin.
It can be said that in addition to the skin, there are only a few bones left in his whole body.
It's as if this person was 'drained' of all the flesh in his body by something before he died....
Just as Qin Fei was looking at the corpse, the man with the knife came over, and he explained the reason for the incident for Qin Fei.
It turned out that this man had been killed last night.
And this kind of thing is very common in the village.
In this village, almost every once in a while, people die unexpectedly, but recently, this phenomenon has become more frequent.
After Qin Fei heard this, he suddenly remembered what the knife man had said before.
'Almost every month, the demonic wind sends some people to this underworld....'
If that's the case, and the people in the village can get married and have children, there should only be more and more people here.
But now, there are only about 100 people in the entire village.
Therefore, the reason why there are not many people in the village is because some people are 'drained' of their bodies by some unknown existence at night and die....
