"It's the rule! If you don't follow the rules and let the eighth master die in the village, maybe the next moment, he will ......" The voice of the old man led by him lowered, and he suddenly said in shock, "He will directly cheat the corpse!" ”

"Old man, don't scare the children." A middle-aged strong man said.

The old man at the head also slowed down and said, "Where is this scare, one day, I will die, and I also need to obey the rules and feed me to Tuhuang." ”

"Don't be afraid, it's a rule, a rule to be followed for generations, a rule to be followed."

As if seeing that the children were a little frightened, the old man said, "The earth god in red has lived for two hundred years, and it has been guarding the village and bringing us peace. ”

It's not really a guard, it's a ...... Raising the village, right?

Many people are slandering in their hearts, that monster treats everyone as food, so naturally he has to protect it.

"But you don't know that the earth god is actually ...... In fact, it is an ancient ancestor. The old man broke the news again.

"When our ancestors moved here, there was no earth god to protect it, and every night we were terrified, and every three or five days a child went missing."

"So we had to create a earth god ourselves."

Tuhuang is a local word, which almost means "local guardian", "local god" and the like.

Human energy is limited, while monster energy is unlimited.

There are also moments of negligence in the patrol of strong men, if they encounter "ghosts", they are not opponents at all, and how many people die on it.

In the face of strange eyes, creating a powerful "earth god" is the best way for local creatures to find a way to survive.

Because Tuhuang is not afraid of "ghosts", and he is not afraid of other monsters!

"When someone dies, if the body is intact, within half an hour, there is a possibility of a corpse." The old man recalled the original situation, "If it is fierce and violent, and it comes up and eats people, then there is no possibility of becoming a soil god." I can only find a way, hack to death with a knife! ”

"The earth god that has just been transformed is not strong, and a few strong men can still fight it, and it must be completely dismembered to avoid resurrection."

Not only the children, but even the men turned pale when they heard this, and licked their dry lips.

The creatures living in this land are actually accustomed to ups and downs, and they are not afraid of blood and cruelty, but there is always a feeling of discomfort in their hearts when dismembering the bodies of their relatives.

The old man said: "If the monster behind the corpse shows signs of hesitation and vigilance, and has that subtle wisdom, it is possible to become a earth god...... We're the ones in red...... It's an old ancestor, but it's become more and more uncontrollable in recent years, hey! ”

"If one day, it can't control its wildness and wants to attack the village, we will have to fight it."

As the sound of chewing gradually stopped, the "old eighth master" completely disappeared from the world.

Everyone is related, and when they think that their final ending is to be buried in the mouth of a monster, what a sad word in their hearts.

The most clever child asked, "Village Chief Yu, why did such a thing as 'resurrection from the dead' happen?" ”

"It's the rule!" Old Yu's expression became serious, and he snorted coldly, "Don't go to the rules!" Those who asked why were all dead! ”

Immediately afterwards, his face softened slightly, and he did not continue to scare the child: "According to legend, the earth god can connect to the Yellow Spring, and if it is eaten, it can reach the Yellow Spring and be successfully reincarnated into another better world. ”

"If you don't get devoured, you will become a lonely ghost, and you can't be reincarnated if you want to, so don't be afraid, just follow the rules."

"Let's go, we're all here and there, let's catch some seafood and go back."

The reason why they formed a village here is because of the proximity to the sea, the abundance of food, and the lack of food.

And they also run a salt pan, and salt is a real goodie.

Yesterday there was a tidal wave, and after the salt ponds were filled, the salt workers had to accurately measure the salt content of the brine.

The solution is also very simple, break a small two-inch long strip from the bush next to the salt pond, peel off the outer bark and put it in the brine, and the branches will float on the water, which indicates that the salt in the brine is already very strong.

Conversely, if there is not enough salt in the brine, the small tree will sink until it is deep enough to be salty. This small tree that can check the salt concentration is a tree called "yellow croaker", which is only found in places with salt pans, and it is quite magical.

In the shallow waters not far away, fish are abundant, and the fish caught must be immediately dissected and dried or salted.

In addition, you can also catch some delicious food on the beach, shells, kelp, boiled in water can be eaten, the smaller the species, the less likely it is to form a monster after death, so shells are very safe food, and children can also collect them independently.

"Abba, what's the world across the sea?" A boy with black hair and yellow skin, grabbing a basket of shells and small crabs, looked at the seaside from afar.

There was still a sparkle in his eyes.

"The sea has no boundaries, the sea is the sea. The continent where we are located is the very center of the ocean, which is called the burial realm. And the ocean is infinitely vast, and anyone who wants to explore the edge of the ocean is dead. Across the ocean, there is still the sea, a place of dead silence, not some other shore. ”

The sturdy man sighed, his eyes long forgotten but without light.

When he was a child, he had all kinds of strange ideas like his own son, wanting to know the truth about the world.

He even traveled to more distant places, studied, and dug up ancient ruins!

But the world is big, there are many dangers, there are many horrors, and the more you know, the faster you die!

With the passage of time, witnessing the terrible truth, and knowing the power of "rules", he developed a deep awe of this world.

He gave up exploring nature and chose to become an ordinary farmer and live a peaceful life in the village, which may be the last choice for most explorers......

As for the rest of the explorers, they were all dead.

There are too many reasons to count.

"Abba, that ...... That thing, what is it, it moves on the steppe? The little boy suddenly pointed to a black shadow on the prairie.

"What's that?"

"It seems to be...... A ship? Wow! It's gone all at once! The twelve-year-old boy rubbed his eyes.

"Boy, my head is broken, how can a boat be driven on the grassland." Another uncle, who was fishing, came over and whispered, "This place was plagued yesterday, and there are a lot of bones on the grassland. ”

"And skulls...... It may be a bitten human bone, I don't know what race it is, hey, pitiful. ”

His eyes lit up again: "What is this...... Ancient giant clams? Dead on the side of the road, it seems to be alive! ”

"Poor ...... Someone was eaten. ”

A large group of villagers, next to the big toad with its tongue sticking out, watched for a while.

This "ancient giant clam" is a treasure all over its body, and the venom glands on the surface of its skin are highly poisonous, and when attached to the sword, it can obtain higher lethality.

The thigh meat of the toad is very strong, non-toxic, and is a good ingredient.

It's just that this toad ate people yesterday, and it died on the beach, and there is still undigested human flesh in its stomach, so it's a little inappropriate to eat it again.

Although the village is not rich, it is not yet poor enough to eat this dead toad.

So the old village chief at the head of the group ordered some venom glands to be collected, and did some rituals to burn the bones and the dead toads.

"The edict of the Taishang, the lonely soul of Chaoru, the ghost of everything, the four lives are gracious. The headless is super, the headless is promoted, the gun is killed, the diving rope is ......"

"Dust to dust, earth to earth, noise to barren cliffs, silence to flowers...... Rest in peace, gentlemen. ”

The old village chief sprinkled a handful of dust on the ashes, and then instructed the villagers to sprinkle all the ashes into the sea.

And that's the end of it.

After all, the locals have long been accustomed to seeing life and death, and it is already a good result to be able to help strangers manipulate the aftermath.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of villagers actually found traces of tires crushing the grass nearby.

It's a bit bizarre, and combined with the bones, the villagers think there was a big fight last night.

A poor caravan, lost in the steppe, had to spend the night in the wilderness, causing a large wave of monsters to attack and a large group of people to be eaten.

Luckily, someone might have escaped?

Otherwise, there will be no traces of tires.

"Alas, this luck is too bad, and it will be a little longer to our village."

"Let's go ahead and have a look, I hope there's still anyone alive."

The villagers lined up and walked briskly, groping their way along the tracks of the tires.

After a while, their eyes widened and they saw a ...... The boat, about 20 meters in length, with 8 tires, is parked on the grass.

"It's ...... This can't be a relic of an ultra-ancient civilization, right...... In our time, it seems that such a good thing cannot be made! ”

The middle-aged man who took the lead couldn't help but have his eyes shining, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes.

He recalled the story he had heard a long time ago, that the ultra-ancient civilization was extinct because of the study of "rules".

The ultra-ancient civilization was much more powerful than their generation, and a lot of scientific and technological products and knowledge left behind were left behind at that time.

Otherwise, they are not enterprising guys, in this dangerous world, they can only be a group of primitive people!

This miraculous steamship surprised and delighted the people of the small village, and made it difficult!

Those old men were muttering an unknown "rule" in their mouths: If you find the ruins of a super-ancient civilization, it's best to stay away and don't explore rashly!

Who handed down this rule? I don't know, the credibility is questionable.

But the weight of the rules in their hearts is like Mount Tai, and they cannot be broken in the slightest.

Some young adults are very excited, because this rule does not require them to stay away completely, just not to explore rashly!

As long as you're cautious, you can still explore!

Moreover, it was probably a caravan with a large amount of cargo on board, and in this sense it was not an ancient ruin.

Once the goods can be transported back to the village, the whole village can live a prosperous life at once!

"My wife is already exploring this time, old village chief, please, this is a godsend!"

"Cuihua is still waiting for me to marry her!"

"The caravan is completely annihilated, and it is considered an ownerless...... If you take it, it's also waste. ”

The power of the capital demon god has been fully interpreted at this moment.

Those young adults thought of the wonders, and one by one they couldn't help themselves, holding the knife and fork in their hands, and looking at the ship, as if looking at their future wife.

"It should be fine, it's daytime, and the probability of monsters being infested is small. But first, if there are still living merchants, we won't take a penny! The people of our Qingshi Village are not robbers! Old man Yu's eyes were sharp, and he said categorically.

"That's nature." Several other strong men also nodded and said, "You can't do anything like killing people and setting fires, otherwise you will be angry for a lifetime, and I'm afraid you won't live long." ”

"If there is no one left, then ...... Hey, let's pick up the goods. Village Chief Yu shook his head and said.

In the past ten years, the life of the village has been relatively peaceful, and the number of young and middle-aged people has increased, and these young people have reached the age of begging for wives.

The village is not rich, except for fish, shrimp and salt, there are no special products, and if a windfall does not fall from the sky, I am afraid that half of the men will be single.

In this wasteland era, there is no law or anything like that, and the rich and powerful can ask for more than one wife. In the case of a similar ratio of men and women, if a strong man asks for ten wives, won't there be nine bachelors?

So under the stimulus of interests, a group of native creatures trembled and approached the big guy who looked like a ship.

In a world full of dangers, long-range caravans are actually worthy of respect.

Because the caravan is the disseminator of information, and it is also responsible for connecting trade, and even, each village must have several members of the caravan, which is also the rule!

Without caravans, the native civilization would be extinct sooner or later.

The ship in front of me was not large, made of pure metal, and it looked like it had been adrift on the sea for hundreds of years, a little old, but it was extremely strong and thick, and it looked like a high-end cargo full of stock.

"Definitely ultra-ancient technology!" The most knowledgeable strong man licked his dry lips.

His name was Yu Dazhu, and he had traveled the most roads, and said with a fanatical expression: "The materials of ancient times are different from our current materials, and the properties of large-scale industrial production, even if they are the same elements, are also different. The most typical feature is that they do not rust easily. ”

He picked up a small stone, flicked his finger hard, and the small stone bounced onto the side of the ship, making a crisp sound of "dang".

The boat was not damaged in the slightest, not even a single mark.

People were overjoyed, and even the sadness that the "old eighth master" had just been eaten by monsters was diluted.

It shows that this caravan is extremely powerful, and even the means of transportation are super ancient technology.

They even have some gains and losses, and they don't know if they should expect to have a living.

The village head, the old man, secretly glanced at the expressions of the people around him.

He kept a few cautious young people in his heart, and also wrote down those fanatical young men in a small notebook, preparing not to let them go far for the rest of his life.

When you are away from home, the most important thing is to resist temptation!

If you can't resist the temptation, you will die sooner or later.

Yu Dazhu also said: "Don't mess with the things here, even if there is no life, this ship must belong to the village."

"But everyone here has a little bit to ...... That's fine, right? ”

"Don't think you can handle the relics of the super ancient civilization alone, if you take them to the city and sell them, you will be robbed of them at the first moment. Even if you can sell it, you won't be able to sell it for any price. ”

"Elder Yu has also traveled the rivers and lakes before, and he has quite a lot of contacts, so he can deal with these things safely."

Since he had said so, the young people could only be relieved and nodded their heads one after another.

Anyway, after picking up the wealth for nothing, everyone is still very happy.

They stayed here for a long time and no one came out, and it seemed that there was really no way to live.

"That'...... There's a white turtle there, staring at us! Someone else exclaimed, "Is the turtle alive?!" ”

Many villagers in Qingshi Village looked at Xiaobai: "Is this turtle beautiful, dead or alive?" ”

"Its eyes are clear, and its shell is like white jade, so it should be alive...... It should be a pet raised by the caravan, so let's take it back and raise it. ”

Yu Dazhu is also a master of the arts, holding a spear, he jumped on the boat first, wanting to catch the turtle.

Then the turtle bounced nimbly and shouted, "Ahhh ”

(Who are you?!) Do you want to rob us?! ）

Yu Dazhu shuddered violently, was half frightened, and fled from the boat again.

"What's going on, Ozu?"

"I don't know, it seems like a voice is asking me, who the hell is it!"

"It's not just a turtle, look at you scared. I just grabbed it and stewed it, and I had a good meal. ”

Another man touched the boat and tried to catch the turtle, but the turtle jumped high and collided with the man's head viciously, making a "thump".

"Ahh The guy's head was swollen with a big bag, and he fell to the ground on all fours, and his ass was pouring in pain.

"Hahaha!" The group of children laughed, and the scene was a bit funny.

However, the people in Qingshi Village were not nervous, after all, the other party was a turtle, not an ugly toad.

Beautiful creatures always make people feel good, and everyone is not so nervous.

Old Yu glanced at the beautiful turtle, and suddenly said: "Alas, these days, even the number of turtles has decreased, if it is a female turtle, it can just be raised, and there are turtle eggs to eat every year." When the turtle dies, it can just be a soil god. ”

"Our current Tuhuang is still too fierce and has no growth potential......

"The turtle can also be a earth god?" Someone wondered.

"That's nature, there's a big city in the distance, it's called the Great Mother City, with a population of one million, and that's the real big city."

"Once upon a time, there was a turtle named Negative Mountain Turtle, who spoke and had great powers, and the earth god transformed after its death could shelter a city from monsters."
