The buried village was first discovered by Lu Qing using a spirit-seeking lantern and marked on the map.

It’s not like there haven’t been players exploring this place before.

But they either returned empty-handed or were frightened away by the abnormalities there.

The one who suffered the worst was the player who posted his experience of logging off and then coming back online, only to find himself buried in the ground, on a video website.

But generally speaking, there is still no useful information for players at this stage.

“Let’s go!”

Following Xiao Duan's call, the team of players, like junior high school students on a spring outing, marched out of Xiaohe Village in a mighty procession.

"Does anyone need a yellow talisman to exorcise ghosts? I bought it at the market in Makino City, Zhengxuanmen. It only costs 100 contribution points!"

"How do you know that the monsters we're going to encounter are ghosts?"

"I can tell you don't usually watch videos."

"If the monster sees so many of us coming over, it won't just hide, right?"

"When takeout is delivered to your door, why not take it?"

"Good boy, isn't this trip very dangerous?"

Most of the players maintain an extremely optimistic attitude.

For them, exploring new maps is essentially the beginning of playing the game.

The village that is full of dangers for local monks is just a new map where monsters spawn in the eyes of players.

After crossing a wasteland and following the river downstream, in less than two hours, the players saw the river beach with countless exposed roofs of buildings.

It is called a village, but judging from its size, it is not an exaggeration to call it a town.

However, there is no trace of any larger settlements or remains of settlements around here.

If placed in other games, it may not seem out of place.

But in "Cangxia Wenda" where all of this can be traced, this point seems a bit inconsistent.

"The mud and sand are compacted, weeds have grown thickly, and broken shrubs are everywhere... but no animals or bones have been found. This time, it really might not be a biological monster."

Zheng He walked in front, squatted down and checked the ground.

The rest of the players dispersed to the outskirts of the village almost as soon as they arrived here and began to explore on their own.

Simply because of their limited experience, most of these players just join in the fun and experience the atmosphere of exploration.

Only a few people actually discover the information.

"In the mountains of my hometown, there's a village that was destroyed by a mudslide. It's been seven or eight years, and it's still looking pretty much like this. If this game can realistically depict the passage of time, then this village was destroyed at most ten years ago."

"Impossible! Didn't the plot say there weren't many human settlements in Chaoyun Province? A village in the middle of nowhere? That's too unusual... This place must be quite old!"

"If I had a Luoyang shovel, I could see the soil below... Unfortunately, no one probably has one with them."

"Why isn't anyone leading them? Look over there, they've already started digging."

Following the direction pointed by the player, Meng Qi was seen diligently digging the ground with a Luoyang shovel, which was quite small for him. Beside him, strips of soil were being brought up one by one.

Seeing this, the players immediately surrounded them.

Mengqi was the only one working.

But there were at least a dozen people watching.

The watching players squatted around the layer of soil that Meng Qi had dug out and expressed their opinions.

"Look at this soil, there are obvious stratifications."

"There are still small stones in it."

“It’s true.”

However, these opinions are not constructive at all and are even less nutritious than idle chat.

Meng Qi took out a shovel of dirt and dumped it aside, his mouth twitching: "Damn, don't you understand? Ah Guang, you gave me this shovel, so you can draw some conclusions, right?"

Afternoon Light simply shook his head: "I don't understand. I only brought this thing because I thought that if I came across the tomb of a master, I could use it to dig a hole and look for opportunities..."

"Who told you that the Luoyang shovel is used to dig holes?" another player asked.

"Isn't it?" Wu Guang asked in confusion.

"The Luoyang shovel is mainly used for exploring soil! You need a different shovel for digging!"

"That's what I read in the novel..."

"Don't take novels seriously!"

"But," Meng Qi suddenly said, "our city police once caught a group of tomb robbers. They used Luoyang shovels to dig holes..."

"Oh, really? Hahaha, maybe I'm just not knowledgeable enough." The player who had pointed out Wu Guang's mistake earlier readily admitted his unprofessionalism.

The atmosphere seemed a little stiff for a moment.

After all, none of the players have actually used a Luoyang shovel to do any work, and all their knowledge comes from the Internet.

"So, what can you see in this soil?"

Meng Qi's question kept the atmosphere silent.

"Can you tell there's nothing unusual underground? It's just normal soil?"

After Fat Daidai finished speaking, he laughed awkwardly a few times.

After finding that the joke had no effect, Fat Daidai muttered "Duck" in a low voice again, and walked to the other side with his head scratched.

"Is there a possibility that we can clean up the mud and sand here?" Xiao Duan suddenly spoke.

"Shit, with such a large area and such deep mud and sand, it'll take the construction team a month, right? Do we have the time to waste on this?"

"Well, if we don't encounter any monsters, it will be hard to deal with it..."
