Zhang Ming stood up and looked to the west, this ominous aura made him feel instinctively uncomfortable.

The ground trembled slightly, and there was a gray and toad-like guy who came out of the soil, and unlike the toad, it actually had a pair of compound eyes similar to insects.

The cold compound eyes looked at the big willow tree, exuding a faint luster.

From its belly, a strange and ugly voice sounded: "It's this willow tree, suppressing the demon god, and now that life is cut off, it can't be suppressed, right?" ”

The sound reached the ears and produced bursts of whispering.

"Yes, what do you call your seniors?" Zhang Ming asked politely.

"Junior, you have the courage to just call me a toad." The gray toad, let out a strange laugh, introduced himself, "I am the anchor of the demon god, the situation is not much better than this big willow tree, when the insane ate you, I don't know." ”

"I heard that you ate soft rice, call the demon god's wife out for me to see."

Zhang Ming always felt that this guy had something wrong with his brain, and when he met, he looked at what other people's wives were like?

So he laughed at himself: "I am the one who eats the soft rice of the demon god, and the wife of the demon god is uncertain, and I don't know when she will eat us all." ”

The gray toad laughed loudly: "Junior, you are very interesting and bold!" ”

"It's not difficult to save this willow tree's life for a while, you have the ability, just follow me. I can escape from this tunnel. ”

It "plopped" and jumped into the pit that had been drilled out.

Zhang Ming is also a master of the arts, bold and fearless, and also jumped into the dirt pit.

It feels strange, the dirt is like air, even smoother than air, and it travels through it very fast.

As soon as he left the tunnel dug by the big toad in front of him, he was immediately stuck in the surrounding dirt.

"You can also dig tunnels, isn't that true? How does your tunnel compare to mine? ”

However, there is a speed limit on this Tu Dun, Zhang Ming estimated that the speed of Tu Dun is about 1,800 kilometers per minute, which is really fast.

Of course, digging the tunnel was not so fast, and the toad dug it and it took one night.

"My tunnel may be a little faster than my predecessor, but the cost may be greater than that of my predecessor."

"That's because you don't have enough control over the rules." The toad smirked, "I dug this tunnel and consumed 1.2 units of Source of the World. ”

"Demon God rules, where is it so easy to control, unless you have the brain of a demon god. You should be able to see where the leylines are flowing, here's a trick......"

These words seem to be beating, indicating that I, the toad, have mastered your information, and it seems to be teaching?

The toad really got some tricks.

Zhang Ming studied modestly and wrote it down first.

After swimming like this for a while, Zhang Ming kept an eye on it, and he began to consume the "source" and dig a space tunnel to facilitate running to the wild area at any time.

A few minutes later, one person and one toad arrived at their destination.

What catches your eye is a small, barely bustling town, perhaps the territory of a gray toad, and the sky is gray, as if shrouded in eternal dark clouds.

Zhang Ming faintly smelled the terrifying aura brought by the demon god, and it was the kind of demon god that was quite familiar......

Well, I've been through a lot, but I'm used to it.

He shrugged his shoulders and motioned for the toad to lead the way.

This gray toad used some kind of stealth ability, and was unwilling to show itself in front of ordinary people, with Zhang Ming's perception ability, it was obviously able to see it.

It was obviously much smarter than the big willow tree, and knew that rolling in the red dust would inevitably be affected by the red dust, so it simply didn't care about it.

"You go to the temple in the center of the town and you can find the magic weapon of healing. I'll go first. "It made a big jump, in the form of a parabola, and jumped several kilometers.

Zhang Ming didn't want to be so ostentatious, took a step forward, and walked forward quickly.

With his skills, it is not difficult to blend into a small town.

The town is a multi-ethnic group, with humanoids, lion-headed and bull-headed horses, some wearing clothes and some with hair that does not need to be dressed.

Zhang Ming was wearing a coarse cloth coat, mixed inside, but it was not abrupt.

The dark and damp alleys exude a rotten and sickly smell.

Zhang Ming almost stepped on the medicine residue on the road and scolded: "Who is so lacking in morality, throw the medicine residue on the ground!" ”

"Ahem, ahem!" A few small creatures passed by coughing, touched Zhang Ming, and stretched out their hands to steal something.

Zhang Ming flashed slightly, and dodged the attack of these guys.

has been in the funeral world for so long, and most of the intelligent creatures he comes into contact with are virtuous and polite, even the villagers in ordinary small villages are quite qualified.

In fact, it is only the product of the distortion of the "virtues" of the sacred relics in the village, and does not conform to the results of natural evolution.

This town seems to have been restored to that pure natural ecology.

The roads are dirty, littered, and occasionally you can see pooping and defecation.

Quarrels, fights, and some low moans can be heard.

In a low house in front of him, there was a red lantern hanging, and a woman was showing her white thighs and was winking at Zhang Ming.

"Hua Bilibili!" The female creature smiled, saying something inexplicable.

"Come on! Come on! Shi Mama excitedly said, "You still seem to be an old virgin?" Taste the unique charm of this place today! ”

Zhang Ming was helpless: "My private secretary is next to me, how can I get on." Big brother, you're on! ”

"I'm a turtle and I'm not interested."

[If you really want to do it, I can shout and cheer on the side!] You know, I don't have human morality, just be happy! Miss Hulu said with interest.

Zhang Ming rolled his eyes, this guy is too perverted, he is obviously a "moral pacesetter" and says that he has no human morality.

"Then I'm really on it."

[Really? 】

Zhang Ming said quietly: "You become this girl tonight, although it is not so good-looking, I can also take a look." ”

Hulu was silent, and she questioned why she had just lost her mind to provoke this "moral abyss".

"My lord, it's okay, give me something to eat, please." The alley in front was actually blocked with wood, and a few beggars dressed in tatters stared at Zhang Ming with red eyes.

Seeing that he was alone, there was a sign that he would come up and rob without saying a word.

Zhang Ming hurriedly shouted: "I'm also very poor, I don't have a penny in my pocket." ”

"That's it, I stole this bun from my master's house, you eat it quickly, let me go."

The reason why I say this is, on the one hand, these guys are really pitiful, hungry and skinny, with yellow and thin muscles, not like they are pretending...... He Zhang Ming is not that kind of cruel person, the environment has a great impact on people, poor mountains and bad waters, and it is normal to have no morality.

On the other hand, he said that the thing was stolen and wanted to prove that he had some skills.

If you are really stupid and really want to rob, don't blame me Lao Zhang for killing you all.

The beggars were suspicious, looked at him a few times, and did not dare to make a move.

However, the aroma of this steamed bun was fragrant, so I could only swallow a mouthful of saliva and divide the steamed bun.

Well, just two bites, and you're full?

The beggars' eyes wandered around a few times, and they were shocked, experiencing a trace of heat generated in their bodies, and it was really a steamed bun stolen from the master!

Brother, you are really a master, you even dare to steal the master's things!

Zhang Ming asked, "Brother, I'm going to the temple in the center of the town, are there any local rules?" ”

"Your family is dead?" A young beggar wondered.

"Nope."

"From out of town, man." Another beggar looked at Zhang Ming's bag, his eyes were dripping, and his dirty hands rubbed his clothes.

Zhang Ming felt amused and threw them another bun.

These guys found out that Lao Zhang was a rich man, but he was not easy to handle, but he was also content, and after taking the bun, he walked over and removed the barricade.

"That temple is equivalent to the Tuhuang Temple, only the dead can enter, but the living cannot enter!"

"If you break in, you will be treated as a dead person, and no one knows what it looks like inside!"

The beggar at the head said mysteriously, "But it's safe here, even on the night of a hundred ghosts!" We also moved from other villages, but the environment was too bad. There are fights and brawls everywhere, hey, the people in the village are still simple. ”

"What the hell is this, it's too simple to get along."

These beggars actually said that the people in the village are simple and the people here are strong, and Zhang Ming couldn't help but be happy.

"Thank you, brother, let's go first."

"Brother, there's one more thing I haven't said. I've heard, just heard...... Occasionally, half of the population is lost all at once, but the people in this town seem to have lost their memory...... I don't know if it's true or not. The beggar caught up with him and said a few words.

All in all, without the "virtue" of the holy relics, this place presents a law of the jungle that develops naturally and the law of the jungle.

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and the current harsh environment is in line with Zhang Ming's cognition.

On the contrary, it is the humanistic environment of Qingshi Village and Heitie Village, which is really not real.

"The mountain and sea realm is even worse than the current scene." Shi Mama suddenly said, "There are no vegetable people here, and there is no situation where Yi Zi eats." ”

"Really?"

"The inhabitants here don't have much combat power, and their destructive power is limited." Shi Mama recalled the past and chattered a few words, "The people over there in the mountain and sea realm can penetrate the city wall with one punch, and they have no cultural quality, and they kill people and set fire to the gold belt, and no one can stop them if they really fight." There is a big gap between races, and there are also differences between races. ”

"Only when the top powerhouse is in charge, can a town with good order appear."

"But the strong man is in charge, not the strong man's word, he can do whatever he wants? Don't expect the strong to have too high a quality. ”

"Therefore, in places like the mountains and seas, no real civilization can be formed, at most it is just a tribe...... There is no way to develop technology, let alone unique technology. ”

"That's true." Zhang Ming sighed.

As he walked, his pace slowed.

Because he felt an extremely special aura, like a sleeping dragon, coiling in the temple in front of him.

"The place where the demon god is anchored, similar to the mountain road guarded by the Negative Mountain Turtle."

The temple is quite large, covering an area of about one hectare, with carved beams and paintings, the grandeur of the extraordinary, the ringing of bronze bells echoing in the air, and the flames of thousands of red candles swaying on the candlesticks, but this layer of firelight brings a cold feeling.

"Scourge of the Netherlands...... Dark rules? Zhang Ming frowned slightly, and cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back.

"There's what you need in front of you."

The voice of the big toad reached Zhang Ming's ears: "There is a tree in the temple that can bear a fruit called the fruit of life, which is the fruit of life concluded with the help of the power of the demon god, and can help the big willow tree regain its vitality." ”

Zhang Ming took the combat power detector presented by the Xionglu people and estimated the combat power level in front of him: "How many more years can it live?" ”

"It depends on how much you invest, sacrifice to it, and the longevity fruit is not as long as you want to grow." The big toad laughed weirdly, "Investing a hundred people and a thousand people, the effect of prolonging life is naturally different." ”

"How many people are at most?"

"There is no cap, even if you invest 100,000 people, 1 million people, it is okay, the effect of the living is better than that of the dead."

"This place is called the land of freedom, a radius of thousands of miles, all are land, and the creatures in the land of freedom can be put into the temple to feed the trees, and the total population is about 10 million. How much do you want to put into reviving that big willow tree, young man? ”

It is a hellish joke that this lawless place should be called the "Land of the Free".

Well, for some people, the absence of the law is indeed very free.

The big toad said, "The first time I take this fruit, the effect is the best." ”

"The follow-up effect is more than a grade lower, so you have to think carefully about how many years the big willow tree will live...... I will sell you a face, and the creatures of this land of freedom will be reaped by you. ”

The big toad seemed to enjoy the feeling of pulling people into the gang, and stared at Zhang Ming with a pair of eyes.

It was extremely expectant, and Zhang Ming showed a struggling and tangled expression.

It seems that this guy has long since fallen, and has been corrupted by this unknown demon god for a long time.

However, Zhang and Ming don't have any psychological burden at all, I just came to visit, what do you ask me to make decisions about, I am not a leader, and I can't afford this cause and effect.

Even if I really ran out, the first person to die was not my Lao Zhang.

I'm old Zhang, I can run away if I want to!

"What's the name of the demon god anchored here?" Zhang Ming asked again.

"You don't even know that? It's called [Burial]! The toad laughed ugly, "It's the biggest demon god here, and it's because the burial door has found this guy that it can cooperate with the demon god." ”

Among the group of godmen, there is a strong man named "Burial"; Among the demon gods, there is also a person named [Burial].

There may be some unknown connection between the two sides.

The strangeness of the Demon God [Burial] lies in its thinking, which tends to keep civilizations in captivity in order to obtain long-term, stable tidal energy in time and space.

This approach is quite similar to Zhang Ming's approach.

However, Zhang Ming was born in human civilization and is inclined to the ideology of human beings, and hopes that human beings can carry forward and grow is his worldview; The Demon God is not, its ideology is chaotic and difficult to understand. If it thinks that your existence will interfere with its own interests, it will be erased at any time, and there is no emotion to speak of.

Therefore, in the process of getting along, we must tremble and not be sloppy for a moment.

Seeing that Zhang Ming's face was not good-looking, the toad laughed again, seemed to be very happy, and invited Zhang Ming to enter the temple.

"You first look at the generation method of the life fruit, and understand how the demon god [burial] is cultivated in captivity."

"Rest assured, it won't attack you."

He saw a small crooked-necked tree, covered with red, purple, and brown spots, I don't know if it was flowers or moss, and it looked dense, like a series of fish eggs.

It just so happened that a group of people dressed in linen and filial piety came from not far away, and the people in the coffin still had their last breath, and under the effect of various drugs, they showed strange expressions that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and they convulsed for a while from time to time.

"Quick, get into the temple! While the seventh master is not dead. The group hurried, wearing a piece of white satin on their heads, and a few children wept after the mourners.

"Don't cry...... To be buried in the temple is an eternal act of bliss! ”

"Yongdeng Bliss~~" There was an old man who read out the eulogy, as if he was singing.

After a while, the coffin was pushed through the temple entrance.

The crooked-necked tree seemed to sense the life of the outside world, and one of its branches writhed abruptly, like a long leech.

The streaks, mold-like unidentified substances, scattered on the faces of the people lying in the coffins.

Suddenly, strange spots spread rapidly from the surface of his skin.

At the same time, the person seemed to be stimulated by something, and let out a "giggle" laugh.

The laughter was so smooth and cheerful that it seemed to be the happiest moment of my life.

The mourning team waiting outside was chanting the words of condolence there, and after hearing the laughter, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's the laughter of the Seventh Master." ”

"I say, don't be sad. The Seventh Master was originally an old-fashioned person, with a bitter life and little joy. ”

"Now, the Seventh Master has ascended to Bliss forever and left this hellish world." The old man at the head of the group actually had a trace of joy on his face, "When I'm old, just deal with it like this." Sent here while I was still alive, understood? ”

"Got it!"

"Yongdeng Bliss, Yongdeng Bliss~~" The mourners began to sing again, a little sad, but they could hear a hint of joy.

The corpse, along with the coffin, was quickly reduced to ashes under the corrosion of the colorful spots.

A moment later, the specks of parasitic spots flew back to the crooked neck tree, and a small cherry-like fruit grew from the branch.

That is the famous "life fruit", which contains rich vitality!

The first time you use it, you can extend your life, and the effect of subsequent use will get worse and worse.

As for what the side effects were, Zhang Ming didn't want to know, anyway, he wouldn't take this "life fruit".

This scene is very infiltrating, it is obviously a very sad thing, and it looks a little festive, and people who don't know it think that there is a happy event here.

Miss Hulu trembled with fright, shrunk herself, and drilled into Zhang Ming's clothes one by one.

On the contrary, Shi Mama was amazed, and said: "The demon god's methods are terrifying!" ”

"The entire funeral world's concept of death has been completely distorted, it is really a demon god-level means!"

"Lao Zhang, when you completely distort the concept of human beings, you will be the real demon god."

Zhang Ming nodded seriously: "After I go back, I will learn from the model, completely distort the Xuanwu clan, and let those turtles see my Zhang Ming's methods." ”

Shi Mama was in the backpack, shaking a few times, almost unable to hold back.

The toad spat out a breeze and shot at the bright red fruit.

Suddenly, the cherry-sized fruit fell to the ground.

It manipulated the breeze again and threw the life fruit into Zhang Ming's hands.

"How?" Toad asked.

"It's very strange, and the person who invented this way to coexist with the demon god has great wisdom." Zhang Ming's heart was furious, but he still said a few words.

"Oh, you see something." The big toad asked with interest.

"This demon god who is quite mild in nature is the first line against other demon gods......"

"It treats this world as its own property, and it incurs a lot of sunk costs, so naturally it does not allow other demon gods to put their hands in. Using one demon god against other demon gods is really great wisdom and avoids greater losses. ”

"As for the price paid by the local people, it is quite acceptable, but the concept of death of the local natives has been completely distorted...... That's why this demon god is called [Burial]...... The funeral customs are really completely different from the outside world. ”

"Junior, you're pretty smart." The gray toad praised, and then the conversation changed, "However, the appetite of the demon god is getting bigger and bigger, if [Burial] is not satisfied with the burial world, how should it be handled?" ”

"This fruit is given to you as a greeting gift."

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at this small vermilion fruit, and a strange fragrance greeted him, making him sneeze.

But it was such a little fragrance that gave every cell in his body a strange feeling of hunger and thirst, as if swallowing the fruit would give birth to immortals immediately!

As time passes, even the soul is ready to move, making it more and more unbearable.

Rao is Zhang Ming's willpower, and he has a feeling of burning himself, his whole person seems to be soaked in magma, and he can't wait to escape immediately.

This is only such a small fruit, if it is a larger fruit, I don't know how attractive it is.

Maybe, I really can't stand it.

Zhang Ming accepted it when he saw it, took a small box, saved the fruit, and said in a strange tone: "Brother, do you want to eat it?" ”

"I, I, I...... Of course I do! Shi Mama couldn't wait to pounce and grab this good treasure.

Zhang Ming deeply sighed at the strength of the Demon God's power, and his old brother had become corrupt and degenerate so quickly.

Perhaps, after being attacked by [Dusk], it was already a vicious bad old turtle.

The big toad smiled and said, "All in all, there are not so many dying people to feed this life fruit tree, how many people do you want to spend to save that big willow tree?" If the ink goes on like this, the big willow tree will not last long. ”

Zhang Ming was surprised: "You can catch as many people as I want?" ”

"Of course, it's just a group of living people!" The toad said disdainfully.

"With their ability to reproduce, there will soon be a new batch. You can rest assured that they won't have any pain and even leave no memory of the whole process. In general, I only harvest the elderly. "A trace of gray-white mist erupted from the toad's skin venom gland.

Ordinary life beings can fall into a coma and lose their memories as long as they inhale even the slightest bit.

"You're kind then...... But if I go and sacrifice this tree, isn't this cause and effect on my head? ”

"If you don't do it, will you let me do it?" The toad said disapprehantly, "Can't you do it?" Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs, and you yourself usually eat meat, right? It's hard to measure the number of creatures killed, right? Can't do it at the moment? ”

"I allow you to arrest people at will, which is already my greatest kindness."

Zhang Ming said: "The life or death of that big willow tree has nothing to do with me...... It's just that you raise people and eat people, you have different concepts, so you won't be evaluated, but don't pull me into the water. ”

The toad laughed even more yin and yang.

Seeing that the toad had bad intentions, he simply called out: "Turtle, hey, turtle!" You're definitely here, get out of here! ”

A breeze blew.

Suddenly, a beautiful turtle statue in a corner moved.

"How do you kid know I'm here?" The old voice of the Negative Mountain Turtle rang out.

The old turtle was a little puzzled.

It's a turtle that is proficient in camouflage, and camouflage is its innate supernatural power!

How is it seen?

"Nonsense, this toad knows a lot of things about me, and it's likely that you spread it."

"And such a big city, what kind of free land, don't you know about the mountain turtle?" Zhang Ming said angrily, "Now that you know about this matter, you can do it yourself." ”

"You can't watch the big willow tree die."

The Negative Mountain Turtle said in a strange tone, "Since you don't want to kill, then change the way." Aren't you a demon god of the level of a demon god's wife...... [long-cherished wish]...... Is there no way? ”

Shi Mama couldn't help jumping out of Zhang Ming's backpack and scolded: "You old turtle, why do you worry about other people's wives every day? Even I don't have the right to make a wish, so why do you want others to make a wish all the time! ”

The Negative Mountain Divine Turtle didn't dare to provoke the Demon God, but he was still very energetic in scolding Shi Mama: "People who treat the Demon God as their wives can solve a lot of problems by eating soft rice, why don't you eat it!" ”

"Do you know how troublesome these questions are? Hurry up and lick that demon god! ”

"If it were me, I would be able to lick off a layer of skin and break all the bones!"

Zhang Ming was stunned, this turtle is too thick-skinned, and it is just reasonable to ask others to eat soft rice!

Shi Mama was also shocked by the mental state of these guys, and gloated: "It seems right...... Zhang Ming, hurry up and lick it! ”
