This time into the dungeon seems to be a little different.
When Chu Zheng entered the dungeon, he saw that the sun was approaching the side of the mountain.
"Is it close to night when I came?" Chu Zheng felt a little bad in his heart.
If that's the case, there's not much time for him.
After experiencing two dungeons, Chu Zheng found that whether it was a zombie dungeon or a wolf shoulder, they all had a unique preference for night.
If it's close to the evening, it's likely that the taboo will appear soon.
But soon, Chu Zheng discovered something different.
He found that the air was a little too fresh, even cold.
Most of the distinction between morning and dusk is based on air, some people say that the air in the morning is fresher, and the air at dusk is more turbid.
And Chu Zheng naturally couldn't tell the difference between morning and dusk from whether the air was turbid or not, and he didn't have such a smart nose.
He relied on the temperature of the air.
Mornings are a little chilly because they are the process of turning from night to day. And dusk is the process of changing day to night, and it will carry a hint of warmth.
Therefore, Chu Zheng judged that the current time should be in the morning.
Just discovering this matter didn't make Chu Zheng feel much easier.
To contraindicate the urine sex of the world. It's morning, and it's unlikely to be a benefit. Either the taboo will kill during the day. Otherwise, when the night came, it would have killed him in a short period of time.
Either way, it's extremely dangerous.
"Shimizu Village." Chu Zheng turned his head and looked into the distance.
On the side of the mountain, there was a village, built by the water, and he already knew it in his heart.
This village should be the Qingshui Village mentioned in the prompt.
It's just that this village makes him feel a little weird, because there is no one in the village.
In addition, the fields in front of the village seem to have not been cultivated for a long time, and they are overgrown with wild grass. There are even some small trees growing in the ground.
This kind of scene, in some villages, simply does not exist. Because the land is the life of the peasants, how can it be wasted?
Chu Zheng's face became a little heavy, how did this village become a deserted village?
He paused and walked towards Qingshui Village.
Time in the quest is very precious, and he needs to find the Easter egg as soon as possible, and the Easter egg is more likely to be in the village.
As Chu Zheng walked into Qingshui Village, when he saw the scene in the village, he felt a chill crawling all over his body.
There was not a single person in the village, the houses were in ruins, and snakes and insects were rampant.
What chilled him even more was the skeleton on the road in the village.
The bones lay on the ground, their bones twisted, and they looked as if they had been severely tortured during their lifetime.
The people of this village are all dead!
"It's a horrible taboo." Chu Zheng's heart was beating faster, this was the most domineering taboo he had encountered.
Like the two taboos he experienced, none were so terrifying.
For example, zombies, as long as they are villagers in Dazhuang Village, can hide from zombies at night when they hide at home.
And the wolf on the shoulder, it will only be in the wild wolf forest.
As long as you don't enter the wolf forest, you won't die.
It can be said that whether it is the villagers of Dazhuang Village or Yuejiao Village, as long as they understand certain rules, they can live well.
However, in this Qingshui Village, not a single living person can be seen.
"Let's look for Easter eggs first." Chu Zheng took a deep breath and began to walk around the village.
"Woo~" whimpering all around.
In this village, the wind seems to be a little stronger.
From time to time, there was a crackling sound of wood and bones being blown away, as if something was moving around, which made people feel a little panicked.
As Chu Zheng walked around the village, he found a large mansion with a white cloth hanging in it, which looked particularly eye-catching.
Chu Zheng suddenly remembered the information in the previous prompt.
In the information, it was mentioned that Qingshui Village held a banquet, and after that, strange things happened in Qingshui Village.
This big mansion, decorated with lights, is like a place to hold a banquet.
"This shouldn't have been a waste of business in the first place." Chu Zheng looked at the white cloth on the wall and thought to himself.
Perhaps, the taboo was made by this corpse.
Then he walked to the gate of the mansion.
Above the gate, there is a plaque that has lost its original color, and the handwriting on it is a little illegible.
Chu Zheng carefully identified it, only to find that the word 'Liu Fu' was written on it.
The gate of this Liu Mansion is locked, making it difficult to see the situation inside.
Chu Zheng stepped forward and pushed the door.
The "crunch...... door was pushed, and the wood writhed in the gaps on both sides of the door, making a screeching sound.
Boom!
The door hit something, leaving only a gap and couldn't be pushed.
Chu Zheng approached the gap and looked inside, and found that the door had been blocked by a relatively thick log.
He had seen this kind of wood, it was used to bolt doors, and he also had one in the small courtyard of Qamdo Province.
However, he was relatively new, and the wood in front of him was already a little rotten.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng took out the iron piece and inserted it into the crack of the door.
Then he slammed his hand and swung the iron piece down from above.
"Bang!"
The pieces of iron were cut into the wood, leaving a noticeable notch.
The material of the wood is average, and it seems that it is a little brittle and rotten due to age and weathering.
Seeing the effect, the iron pieces in Chu Zheng's hand fell one after another, and the sound of chopping wood spread far away in this deserted village.
"Woo ......" the wind blew across the eaves, making a whimpering sound.
Qingshui Village was a little too quiet, Chu Zheng heard the sound of himself chopping wood, and there was always a feeling that something had noticed him, and he was furry.
In other words, if something in this village hears a voice, it will inevitably focus on him.
"Don't scare yourself." Chu Zheng was talking to himself, cheering himself up.
Although he has been through a lot recently, the fear of taboos has taken root in his heart. Because this kind of thing is not something that human beings can fight against at all.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the wall of the courtyard was too high and he didn't have the tools, he would have wanted to try to climb it.
After a while, the wood behind the door was finally cut down.
The "squeak......" door slowly opened, and some dust fell from above the door.
The wood slipped and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Chu Zheng waved his hand to clean the dust off his head.
Then he looked through the door.
This is a two-entry courtyard, and in the courtyard, there are more than a dozen tables.
Some of the tables were rotten and weeds had grown on them, and some had collapsed into a puddle of debris.
In this courtyard, there are also a lot of bones.
Obviously, the people in this room did not survive.
"This table is not closed, which means that the time for taboo killing is not far from the time of this banquet." Chu Zheng looked at the table and thought to himself.
Generally speaking, this kind of feast should be cleaned up on the night after eating.
When it is forbidden to kill the whole village, it is likely to be on the day of the feast.
Then, he turned his head to look at the wood he had chopped off on the ground.
This door, since it is bolted, this also shows that this Li Mansion has still closed the door.
In general, the closing time of the yard is at night.
This also shows that it is very likely that the taboo started killing at night.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a strange wind blew, and the door that Chu Zheng had opened before slammed shut with a dull sound.
The sweat on Chu Zheng's body came down instantly.
