Chapter 178 The Aboriginals of the Land of Divine Punishment
Whoosh whoosh~
"Ah!"
Liu Jiale screamed: "What the hell!"
A group of red mice quickly jumped under their feet. Some of them tried to climb onto their laps, but Ling Feng and Ye Yufei easily took care of them.
Less than 20 meters further inside, the environment became dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and the road surface was no longer smooth.
Lingfeng held his sword and directly chopped open the weeds and shrubs blocking the road in front of him, and even chopped off many small colorful insects.
"Sister Chai, Jia Le, follow closely, I will come to the rear."
Dumb~du~du~
A crow cawed overhead.
Although crows are regarded as ominous, the four people below were not affected by it. Even the weakest Liu Jiale's performance at this time was commendable.
There is no destination along the way. The adventure is really exploring all the way. Just go wherever is convenient.
Not only the animals here seem to have mutated, but the plants have also mutated, and some plants will even actively attack people.
It seems that normal medicinal materials cannot be collected at all, because as soon as they are dug out, the system prompts that they are either contaminated or cursed, and they have no expected medicinal effect at all.
The edible meat obtained by killing mutant animals is also very small. It is probably a normal-sized deer, and the total edible meat is less than two kilograms.
The smaller ones simply have no value in decomposing.
This kind of place is really like a desert to them, with too little harvest.
Chai Li felt a little embarrassed. She had gained too much from Ye Yufei in advance. If she kept going to the island like this and gained nothing, she didn't know how she would face Ye Yufei in the future.
But seeing that their expressions didn't even change, she could see that her son was out of breath from exhaustion, but maybe because he was surrounded by young people, he gritted his teeth and persisted.
Ling Feng, who had been leading the way, suddenly stopped and spoke simply and clearly: "There are traces of human activities ahead."
One or two came to the front and looked in the direction where his sword pointed. Chai Li said excitedly: "It's true. The land has obviously been cleaned up, and the things growing on it are much neater."
Liu Jiale wanted to move forward but was pulled back by Ye Yufei: "There is someone in front."
Anyone?
Chai Li's mother and son looked left and right, but no one could be seen.
Ling Feng said directly: "You guys wait, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he went around to another direction and threw a small and thin man out from behind the dark tree on the side.
Put your sword to the man's heart.
Two equally thin old men ran out from the weeds on the side: "Who are you? Please don't hurt this child."
Ling Feng did not answer, and an arrow shot directly at the feet of the old man who had not spoken. It seemed that as long as he took another step forward, the arrow would not only hit here.
"You, you are not alone. Who are you, and what are you doing in this place of divine punishment?" The old man was really strange. At least the young man in front of him didn't seem to have any trace of being corroded by the curse. Such a clean and fresh human being They haven't seen each other for a long, long time.
Ye Yufei walked out with Chai Li and her son, and said in a cold voice: "Now it seems that it is better for you to answer our questions first."
After asking the old man, I learned that this place is called the place of divine punishment. Their ancestors were exiled here, so they are all descendants of sinners.
Trapped on this hopeless island, unable to get out or escape, they couldn't even commit suicide.
Generation after generation, they have even become accustomed to living here.
Of course, it's not that they haven't encountered other humans at all. There are always some adventurers or lost people coming here to bring them news from the outside. But those people often can't find a way out, can no longer leave, and are forced to stay.
"You will be like everyone else, and you will eventually become people like us."
Liu Jiale: "We don't know how."
The old man knew that people who just set foot on this island always cannot accept the fact that they cannot leave at first. As time goes by, they will naturally accept the reality.
"What do I call you? Where is your gathering place? How do you survive? Is there anything unique here?" Ye Yufei decided to ask what she wanted to know.
"Just call me Lao Gen. Come with me and ask your companions to put away their swords. It's not easy to survive here. It's better for everyone to work together. There are too many things that can threaten life."
< br>
Ye Yufei glanced at Ling Feng, and he sheathed his sword.
"Don't leave in a hurry." Ye Yufei said and threw a basic iron ax to Ling Feng: "Chop down this tree."
"Can't cut!" This was shouted by the young man who had just gotten up from the ground.
Ling Feng would not pay attention to him, and Ye Yufei would kill him if asked. After all, she was the employer.
When the ax goes down, the black bark breaks open and the bright red sap flows out, and a sweet fragrance instantly fills the air.
The expressions on the faces of Lao Gen and the other two people became even uglier.
Ye Yufei immediately went over and picked up the empty pure water bottle.
Chai Li held the dagger tightly in one hand and pulled his son close to Ye Yufei with the other.
After receiving two full bottles, the young man ran over regardless of the danger: "That's enough, we can't cut it down any more. If we cut down any more trees, they will die. If they die, our fields will no longer be protected."
Ye Yufei sighed, and then asked Ling Feng to stop. She kindly stuffed a hemostatic pill into the wound of the big black tree. Unexpectedly, the effect was immediate, and the juice stopped flowing out immediately.
After thinking about it, Ye Yufei took out the wind chime to exorcise evil spirits and hung it on a big branch.
The crisp sound of tinkling wind chimes sounded, and there was a rustling sound all around. The faces of the three aboriginal people turned paler, but strangely, the mental state of the three people seemed to be better.
Looking at the big black tree again, it seems that the black color has become a little lighter.
Lao Gen took a deep look at the exorcism wind chime, and his attitude towards Ye Yufei became much more respectful: "God's envoy, please follow us this way."
Ye Yufei raised her eyebrows and was as puzzled as the other three people. She just hung up the wind chime and became a divine messenger?
The exorcism wind chimes seem to be very effective here.
So exorcism can also drive away curses?
Curse = evil?
They didn't know the fighting power of the three aborigines, but Ling Feng and Ye Yufei were not afraid, especially since Ling Feng believed that he could learn Taoism, so he would not be afraid even if there was evil here.
The two bottles of red sap I just received are actually very good materials for drawing talismans.
The three aboriginals walked in the front, with Ling Feng in the rear. The fields were not far from their village.
After going around a corner, we saw a village not far away.
The village doesn't look too small, and there are still about a hundred households in it at a glance.
"There are quite a lot of you."
Lao Gen shook his head: "There are not many people left. In the past twenty years, there have been fewer and fewer new children. When all of us old guys are gone, I'm afraid this place won't last many years."
I can feel an endless sadness in his words.
