Chapter 139 Devil's Land
I don't know how long I was in coma. When Li Sian woke up, his first reaction was a splitting headache.
There were extremely obvious cramping and burning sensations everywhere on my body.
"Water..."
Li Sian, whose lips were dry and coughing, made a hoarse voice. He asked for help for a long time but found that no one paid attention to him.
However, his eyelids were as heavy as if they were made of iron, and he couldn't open them no matter how hard he opened them.
After a long time, my body seemed to have regained some strength, and I finally struggled to open my eyes.
It seems to be in a very spacious shed, with a foul smell surrounding it.
There are more than a dozen piles standing in the shed, and there is an iron chain tied to each pile. Look along the iron chain.
The people tied to the chains are not livestock or sheep, but human beings, male or female, old or young.
"What's going on? Where is this?"
Li Sian tried several times but felt that he could no longer squeeze out any strength and was so tired that he was panting.
At this time, Li Si'an also discovered that there was also an iron ring around his neck, with unknown talismans engraved on it.
"Don't try too hard. You haven't fully adapted to the 'degeneration' yet, but being able to survive until now proves that you have survived it."
The voice came from behind Li Sian. , but Li Sian was lying on the ground and really didn't have the strength to turn his head to see who was talking to him.
The man seemed to be aware of Li Sian's problem and stepped forward to help Li Sian turn over.
Li Sian then saw that the person he was talking to was a tied up man just like him.
He looks strong and his energy level is obviously much better. He has a very messy beard on his face, which has obviously not been groomed for several months.
“You want water, right?”
The strong man took a ladle from somewhere, which contained some water mixed with some sand and gravel.
But for Li Sian, this kind of water is as beautiful as fine wine and sweet spring, so there is no room for being picky.
With the help of the other party, Li Sian drank up the water in the water ladle little by little. Only then did he feel as if a fresh spring had been injected into his thirsty and dry body, and he felt much better all over.
After this, Li Sian finally had the energy to speak.
"Where is this place? How come I am here."
The strong man sighed when he heard this:
"Some people called this Huangning County back then, but now it is just a refuge and paradise for a group of lunatics."
"Foreigners who have just entered Huangning County will enter a state of degeneration because of the environment here. , those who cannot survive will die on the spot."
"If you survive, you will gradually adapt to the environment here, and the impact on your body will gradually recover."
As expected. The strong man said that as Li Sian regained consciousness, his body indeed began to recover bit by bit.
Now he has enough energy to barely move his limbs.
"Fortunately, the next duel is this afternoon. If you don't have time to recover, I'm afraid you will die on that ring."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Li Si'an couldn't help but ask the other party what was going on. .
A flash of anger flashed in the eyes of the strong man when he heard this, and he snorted coldly:
"I am just a guard of the caravan. Our caravan accidentally encountered an evil thing outside. During the attack, we accidentally deviated from our route and strayed into the outside of Huangning County."
"We saw the neat houses and lush paddy fields in Huangning County, so we hurriedly came to seek shelter. I know that they have all undergone transformation just after they came in, and 70% of their companions died in one fell swoop.”
"After we woke up, these survivors from Huangning County tied us up with chains and forced us to go to the ring to fight to the death with some monsters on a regular basis. It would only end if one of them died."
Li Si'an Hearing this, he couldn't believe it either.
Not only did some people survive in Huangning County, but they also developed such an evil habit. They actually like to watch people and monsters fight?
Li Sian suddenly became worried about the safety of his companions and asked hurriedly:
"Brother, have you seen the people who were brought with me?"
I had seen it before I fell into coma. Both Su Hui and Sha Zhi were more or less affected by the special factors here.
If they also end up like this, they must first find a way to meet them.
"That's right. The guy who came in with you is over there!"
Li Sian looked in the direction of the other person's finger and saw an inconspicuous corner. In the middle, the corpse with a strange face was sitting in the corner silently.
Obviously, after the transformation, although the appearance of the evil corpse is different from that of ordinary people, as long as he does not reveal his abilities, ordinary people will only think of him as a middle-aged man suffering from some strange disease.
He would not have thought that a middle-aged man who looked docile and silent could turn out to be a terrifying corpse that kills people without blinking an eye.
Li Sian wanted to join him quickly, but after thinking about it, he hurriedly suppressed his strangeness and did not reveal his identity.
The key now is to find out the details of Huangning County and finally find a way to successfully retrieve the Wanling Pearl.
If you want to achieve this, alerting the enemy too early will only spoil the matter.
We must first roughly investigate the information here.
Moreover, Su Hui and Qin Shezhi didn't know where they had gone.
Li Sian thought for a while and decided to wait until he completely recovered before falling out with these survivors of Huangning County.
So Li Sian turned his head and continued talking to the strong man, asking for some details about this place.
But the strong man just shook his head, saying that since he came in, except for occasionally going out to fight desperately, he could barely survive.
He never had the chance to see anything, so he actually knew very little about Huangning County.
While the two were talking, someone finally came in carrying food.
“It’s time to eat, but I’m so hungry.”
The strong man seemed very excited. He hurriedly took out a wooden bowl from near the chain and placed it excitedly in front of him.
“What are you still doing? Your bowl is over there. Put it on quickly.”
“It’s just one meal a day. If you don’t have it, you’ll be hungry. Damn it.”
I saw two men walking into the greenhouse, one behind the other carrying a large bucket of steaming things.
In fact, in Li Sian's eyes, any food is as sour and smelly as swill and cannot be swallowed.
It’s just that this bucket of food looks... I guess in the eyes of ordinary people, this big bucket of food is no different from real swill.
Bowls of 'food' were distributed by these two people, and even Li Sian, who had just come in, was poured a bowl of mushy soup with no visible ingredients.
"Eat, you may not be used to this kind of food when you first come here, but after a while, you will know that being able to have a meal like this in this place is the only enjoyment."
Obviously, these foods were collected from unknown sources, and they had a strange smell that was difficult to swallow.
Li Sian didn’t dislike the smell.
No matter how difficult it is to swallow, Li Sian has eaten a lot in the past.
But after eating this thing, the body will probably not be able to adapt to this kind of food within three to five days, and it may take several days in a row to fully recover. Li Sian didn't want to have diarrhea in a place like this for several days, which would affect his physical condition.
As for the source of food... Li Sian is going to think of other ways.
If that doesn't work, he can imagine some food in his mind, which can at least satisfy his body's hunger until he can find a way out of here.
Listening to the strong man next to him, he advised himself that it would be better to eat something.
Li Sian shook his head slightly:
“I’m not hungry, let me feed you.”
"Hey."
The strong man was not polite and excitedly took the bowl in front of Li Sian.
“I knew the people who had just arrived wouldn’t be used to eating this kind of food.”
“It’s okay. If you’re hungry for a day or two, you’ll naturally want to eat it...but it’ll be ten days later. It’s a duel, maybe you can get relief tonight.”
The evil corpse in the corner not far away obviously has no need for ordinary food, and is still sitting quietly in the corner, not talking to anyone. say.
Li Si'an understood that it was most likely the Earth Spirit Immortal who asked him to restrain his temper temporarily and cooperate with his actions.
That’s why Sha Zhi deliberately disguised himself as an ordinary person. After being restrained, he was also taken in, preparing to understand the situation of Huangning County from the inside with him.
About half an hour later, Li Sian felt that nearly 30% of his physical strength had been restored.
My brain, which was tingling just after I concentrated a little, felt a lot more relaxed.
“I hope I can regain my strength as soon as possible and escape from this place.”
At this moment, Li Sian heard noise and noise coming from outside.
“It’s about time.”
The strong man sighed, and then said:
“I don’t know if today will be a personal fight to the death or a group fight to the death.”< br>
“By the way, when they take you off the chains later, don’t even think about escaping or resisting.”
"What?" Li Sian hesitated for a moment, then looked up and down at the strong man's physique.
According to the appearance of the two people who just came to deliver the meal, compare the physique of this strong man.
If he really resisted while the other party was not paying attention, he would most likely be able to escape from here.
But looking at the strong man's silent appearance, could it be that...
As expected, the strong man pointed to the iron ring around his neck, and then sighed:
"This thing is something they got from Huangning County who knows where. Once it is put on, it will be held hostage by them. As long as they activate the corresponding charm, the iron ring will continue to tighten."
"As soon as this thing is activated, you will be strangled and fainted on the spot, until your neck is strangled alive."
Li Sian looked down at the iron ring around his neck, and sure enough, he saw a ten-point figure on the inside of the iron ring. Visible black stains of dried blood.
"Thank you for your advice, otherwise I'm afraid I'll suffer a lot here."
The strong man smiled heartily after hearing this, and put the hand in his hand He put the extremely clean bowl on the ground and just said:
"Actually, I'm not just being enthusiastic, but I want to ask you about what's happening outside recently."
"I don't know why, but no one seems to have come in in the past few days. You and your companion He seems to be the only outsider brought in."
Just when Li Sian told him that there was a natural disaster outside and the fog enveloped the entire world.
Xu Ke has also learned basic information about Huangning County through Sha Zhi.
One of the reasons why he sent the evil corpse here is to let the evil corpse bring some soil from the dangerous place, so that Xu Ke can be notified in time when an accident occurs.
Sure enough, after Li Sian suddenly fainted, Sha Zhi also contacted Xu Ke immediately.
Xu Ke directly ordered Sha Zhi to pretend to be in a coma to see if he could find out more information in Huangning County.
Sure enough, as the corpse pretended to faint.
Qin Shezhi, who they had just met, fled in a hurry, not knowing where he went.
And Na Suhui also took advantage of the joints that were about to fall into unconsciousness to follow Qin Shezhi's back, and he didn't know where he went.
According to Xu Ke's short investigation, it was confirmed that the city protection array in Huangning County was indeed operating normally, and the operation seemed to be much better than that in Tianhu County.
It can be seen that the completeness of the Ten Thousand Spirit Pearls at the core of their formation must be far higher than that in Tianhu County.
Because of this, the formation successfully isolated the terrifying fog filled with distortion and pollution from the outside world.
In addition to this, Xu Ke also found that the Huangning County ruins have a strong aura of life.
There are definitely not dozens of people inside, not even hundreds of people...
Xu Ke will never make a mistake on this point. Whether it is an evil object or Xu Ke, as the consciousness of the earth, is extremely sensitive to the breath of living people.
It can be judged very accurately that there are definitely thousands of people there.
But according to what officials in Tianhu County said before, the court had always thought that Huangning County had been abandoned long ago, and the people there had long since fled.
Unexpectedly, not only was Huangning County not abandoned, but there were at least a thousand people living there.
Without the protection of the government, they were able to survive in that remote country for more than thirty years?
However, this formation is indeed very weird. Xu Ke knows Li Sian's physical condition clearly.
After several times of strengthening, Li Si'an's body was completely different from that of ordinary people.
No matter pollution, distortion or distortion, it has great resistance.
How come all kinds of horrible symptoms started to appear just after entering it.
And even the monsters and Suhui, as well as the evil corpses on the side, were all injured by the mysterious power without exception.
It can be seen that that thing is not just evil or pollution in the normal sense.
While Xu Ke was thinking, the so-called 'duel' in Huangning County had officially begun.
Half the people in the shed were blindfolded, their hands tied behind their backs, and pushed into the carriage.
It was transported directly to what they called the ‘sacrificial land’.
Although Sha Zhi was also blindfolded, the dirt hidden on his body could become Xu Ke's eyes.
This allowed Xu Ke to take the opportunity to spy on the scene along the way.
As Xu Ke expected, Huangning County has indeed regained its vitality.
A large number of houses are neatly arranged in it, and all kinds of men, women, old and young are walking in the streets, which is very lively.
It doesn’t look like a dilapidated scene that has gone through a catastrophe, but rather like living in a paradise.
Although he is still sallow and thin, there is no trace of fear or uneasiness in his eyes.
The whole environment is filled with peace and beauty.
