A sharp, deafening siren suddenly sounded, instantly breaking the originally peaceful and peaceful village atmosphere.
In an instant, the whole village seemed to be awakened. All the people who had embarked on the path of spiritual practice took action and gathered towards the city wall as quickly as possible.
Those strong men who usually hide in the depths of the universe did not hesitate to abandon the matters at hand at this moment and teleported directly back from the vast universe.
They quickly entered the designated safe area inside the village and stood ready.
Yang Bei stood in the crowd, looking at strange and serious faces.
The number of people gathered this time was far greater than he had ever seen before.
Looking at the crowded and crowded scene in front of him, Yang Bei couldn't help but secretly speculate: There must be a large number of dark creatures in the outer area rushing towards their place in an attempt to launch a violent attack.
However, as to what exactly happened and how the current situation evolved, Yang Bei seemed to be in a fog, completely confused.
At this moment, Yang Bei, who was full of doubts, had no choice but to turn his attention to the people around him, trying to get more useful information from them, and asked them.
Faced with his eager inquiries, those around him who had spent more time with him and knew more about the inside story told Yang Bei all the information they knew without hesitation.
It didn't take long for Yang Bei to learn a lot of additional information from these more experienced people.
When he learned about this new information, Yang Bei was really surprised.
At the same time, his views on Zhou Qing and the other cosmic practitioners who came to this village also changed slightly.
It turns out that the fate of this group of cultivators from outside the world has been closely connected with this village from the moment they landed in this village.
Specifically, as long as the crucial dark store located in the center of the village is ruthlessly destroyed by dark creatures from the outside, then all of them will be eroded by the dark power.
By then, their consciousness will gradually sink into the endless abyss of darkness, unable to extricate themselves.
However, if they can successfully reach other villages before their consciousness completely falls into darkness, and establish new connections and binding relationships with the dark shops there, then there may be a glimmer of hope for survival.
Zhou Qing and others were the pioneers who entered this mysterious and dark place earlier than anyone else. ‘
Since then, they have been struggling here, constantly experiencing, and gradually mastered their own powerful power.
After a long period of accumulation and precipitation, Zhou Qing and his companions successfully built a unique system in this village hidden in the darkness.
For those newbies who have just set foot in this place, the first priority is to fulfill their responsibilities as newcomers in a safe manner.
Only when they gradually improve their strength through unremitting efforts, will they have the opportunity to contact and know more about the secrets of this place.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhou Qing and the others were quite enthusiastic and explained the various rules and secrets here to every newcomer.
However, as time goes by, every time a new person joins, it takes a lot of time to explain the same content repeatedly, which undoubtedly poses a huge challenge to Zhou Qing's patience.
As time went by, they finally lost interest in continuing to explain, and simply stopped talking, allowing those who came after them to explore on their own.
When the newcomers gained a certain level of strength after going through many hardships and obstacles, Zhou Qing and the others reopened the conversation and gave more in-depth explanations.
After all, the newcomers at this time have already had a preliminary knowledge and understanding of this field. As a result, the subsequent explanation work will naturally become relatively easier and smoother.
In addition, Yang Bei had an in-depth and heated exchange with the people around him.
As the conversation gradually progressed, he was like digging for a treasure, and obtained a series of new and shocking information from the other party.
This information may be obscure to others, but to Yang Bei, it is like a key, opening a door to the unknown world.
It turns out that not all those who step into the dark place are the masters of the universe, most of them are just ordinary practitioners from the vast universe.
However, the leader of their village is a true Lord of the Universe!
When this leader entered the dark place, he caused an earth-shattering vision, which seemed to shake the whole world.
What is even more amazing is that due to his unique status as the Lord of the Universe, he can actually unlock some special talents that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
It is precisely with these unique advantages that this leader was able to rise rapidly in the Dark Land and thrive at an astonishing speed.
What is particularly worth mentioning is that the leader of their village actually entered the Dark Land slightly later than Zhou Qing and others.
But even so, after a short period of experience, he successfully surpassed everyone in the village and became the undisputed strongest man, like a dazzling star. A dazzling light blooms in this mysterious land.
When talking about these issues, Yang Bei couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and naturally thought of his own situation.
It turns out that he is also the Lord of the Universe who controls everything in the universe.
However, what is puzzling is why did he not cause any abnormal phenomena when he stepped into that mysterious dark place?
You know, if there is any abnormal movement, Zhou Qing and others will be able to detect it immediately with their keen perception.
After some careful consideration, Yang Bei had a flash of inspiration, and a possibility quickly emerged in his mind: Perhaps, the contract that he relied on to successfully enter the dark place was actually made by the dirty land. Signed by the Lord.
More importantly, when this contract was signed, the Lord of Filth had not yet been promoted to become the Lord of the Universe.
Because of this, when the Dark Place examined his identity, he did not treat him as the true Lord of the Universe.
So, when he stepped into this forbidden land, he did not cause any disturbance or strange phenomenon.
However, judging from the current situation, this situation of not revealing his identity is not a bad thing.
At least at this moment, he has successfully concealed his true strength and status, avoiding unnecessary trouble and disputes.
Of course, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a big deal even if your identity is exposed.
After all, this group of people actually constitutes a community of shared destiny.
His powerful power may actually help everyone survive more calmly in this crisis-ridden environment.
It’s just that everything has two sides. Who can say that things will definitely develop in the ideal direction?
Perhaps, just because of his sudden appearance and the powerful strength he displayed, the Lord of the Universe in the village who originally held the power would be dissatisfied or fearful. As the saying goes, "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain." The struggle for power is often accompanied by endless intrigues and overt and covert struggles. The slightest carelessness may cause an uproar.
In this situation full of variables, it is still unknown who will win in the end...
The opponent's strength is terrifying, and he can completely control the entire situation. village.
This means that he has become the absolute overlord in this area.
However, if another equally powerful figure emerges at this time, will it directly threaten his superior status?
Presumably at that time, the controller will have doubts and uneasiness, and start racking his brains to think of countermeasures.
He may plan a series of insidious and cunning strategies to eradicate this potential threat; or he may use soft methods to try to win over and recruit people.
However, it is difficult to avoid the possibility of fierce conflict and confrontation between the two parties.
Therefore, after repeatedly considering the pros and cons, the wisest choice for Yang Bei at present is to hide his true identity and quietly practice to improve his strength without attracting anyone's attention.
Like a stalker in the dark night, he silently accumulates strength and gradually becomes stronger.
Only when you truly have the strength to compete with all powerful enemies can you face all kinds of difficult problems with ease.
Just when Yang Bei had just asked about relevant matters and obtained the answers he needed, the dark creatures outside had begun to attack their village.
At this moment, although he was extremely anxious, he was not strong enough to confront him head-on, so he had no choice but to suppress his impulse and quietly stay where he was and wait patiently for the situation to develop and change.
After all, in such a situation where there is a huge disparity between ourselves and the enemy, to act rashly is to hit a stone with an egg.
Unless those vicious dark creatures successfully break through the defense line and completely capture the entire village, they will not have a substantial impact on Yang Bei for the time being.
But once it really reaches that desperate final step, even with Yang Bei's current strength, there is probably only a slim chance of surviving.
However, incidents like this where dark creatures attack villages actually happen every few months.
At first, people may feel frightened and uneasy, but as time goes by, such situations occur frequently, and everyone gradually becomes accustomed to it.
After all, no serious problems have occurred so far.
If there is a major crisis, I am afraid that this village will no longer exist, and naturally they, the villagers, will not be able to survive to this day.
After a whole day and night of arduous defense, the village finally came to the moment of lifting the alarm.
Although the danger has been temporarily eliminated, those who have not yet developed powerful strength are still restricted from stepping out of the village.
Because next, the guards in the village and the people who are familiar with the surrounding environment will launch a new round of eradication operations against the dark creatures around the village.
Only after these potential threats are completely eliminated can ordinary people who have not yet mastered power and are living in this dark place be able to step out of the village with confidence.
It must be said that such a measure is undoubtedly an extremely reliable and considerate way of protection for newcomers.
In this way, Yang Bei discovered that the forces in this village were very different from the image of a bully he originally imagined.
Rather than being a vicious villain, he may have been quietly working tirelessly to allow all villagers to survive better.
However, no matter what the actual situation was, Yang Bei made up his mind not to expose himself easily.
After all, in this strange place, there is nothing wrong with being more cautious.
So, he decided to do his best to hide his whereabouts and seize every opportunity to quietly improve his strength.
Because only in this way, if some unexpected situation does occur and his identity is exposed, will he be strong enough to calmly deal with various crises and challenges.
If he is exposed rashly at this moment, once these people harbor evil intentions and have ulterior motives, then he, who is powerless, will fall into an extremely passive and even dangerous situation, and I am afraid that there will be no room for resistance.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye Yang Bei has stayed in this village for three full days.
During these seemingly peaceful but undercurrent days, the creepy dark creatures outside the village were finally wiped out with the concerted efforts of the village guards.
The newcomers who have been trapped in the village and have no power at all have also received exciting news - they can step out of the village again and continue to engage in their original affairs.
Yang Bei hurriedly stepped out of the village, his eyes quickly scanning the surrounding scene.
Soon, he noticed the lush Heiling rice fields outside the village.
These black rice fields are an important crop that the villagers rely on for their livelihood. However, at this moment, although they luckily escaped being eaten by dark creatures, they were not spared - all the black rice fields were destroyed. Suffered the ruthless trampling of dark creatures.
I saw the tall black rice seedlings swaying here and there, some of them were even pressed to the ground, dying and half dead.
Yang Bei's heart clenched tightly, his brows furrowed, and he thought to himself: "I wonder if these poor Heilingmi can be saved?"
Even if they can be saved, A certain amount of losses may be unavoidable, but how much will they be lost?
Compared with saving these severely damaged black rice, it may be more practical to cut down trees to obtain resources.
After all, although cutting down trees requires a lot of physical strength, as long as you work hard, you can always gain something.
Return to the Dark Forest.
Yang Bei continued to wield the ax and began to cut down the black iron tree.
But the other people cutting down trees around were obviously more nervous, and of course Yang Bei knew this reason.
Because dark creatures have just attacked their village, the number of dark creatures in this dark forest will be more than before, and the probability of them being attacked will be greater, so they must remain cautious.
Even if the village's guard force cleans up, it is impossible to completely clean it up.
Even Yang Bei now picked up the black iron wood ax and held it tightly in his hand with all his energy. If there is any accident, he must react immediately. Even if he has cultivation level now, but more importantly alert.
If the dark creatures are already in front of him and he has not yet reacted to the killing, it will be useless even if he has cultivation. (End of this chapter)
