Chapter 294 New Sacrifice
Yin Xiu stroked the hilt of the knife. Since he didn't understand Empress Ye's purpose yet, he decided to use stillness to control movement. He would suppress any trouble Empress Ye threw at him and see what happened next.
The most important thing at the moment is to maintain the stability of the town while exploring the truth at the bottom of the lake.
The players handed over the items reluctantly, and then they were taken away by the people in the town. They knew better than Yin Xiu how to distribute them, so Yin Xiu ignored them and prepared to take a break and go to the lake before the next black fog came.
But before leaving, Ling Feng stopped him.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Yin Xiu shook his head and pointed at Zhong Mu, "You're not as useful as him, so just take a break for now."
Ling Feng's face paled. "I'm new to this town and I'm not familiar with it, but I've done a great job leading a group of people into a small team in my own town before, helping each other. Perhaps I can help you lead that group of players."
Yin Xiu shook his head, turned around and walked towards the lake. Ling Feng still had something to say, so he immediately followed him.
408 took a look at the people in the town and couldn't stay any longer, so he chose to follow them. Only Zhong Mu had to go back to help, so he returned to the town.
On the way to the lake, Ling Feng kept chattering to Yin Xiu, probably meaning that he really wanted to help Yin Xiu and didn't want to be passive and unable to do anything like other players. Yin Xiu waved his hands lazily and didn't want to argue with him, because he couldn't control the people in the town. At most, he could just sit there and take charge as before.
408 followed at the back, looking at the two people walking in front. The more he looked, the more frowned he became, and the more cautious he became. Then, as if he had nothing to do, he coughed loudly and asked Yin Xiu, "When will your boyfriend come to see you?"
Then she quietly squeezed in between Ling Feng and Yin Xiu and said, "Your boyfriend hasn't appeared in this dungeon yet. Could it be that he can't get in?"
Yin Xiu looked off into the distance calmly, "I'm not sure, but he should come find me."
"That's fine, as long as your boyfriend can come." 408 glanced at Ling Feng slowly, "Although I'm a stubborn person, I still don't support any couple being hindered or destroyed."
Yin Xiu:?
Ling Feng: ...
The three of them arrived at the lake smoothly. Yin Xiu sat down and picked up the fishing rod again. Ling Feng was wandering around, not knowing what to do. 408 just lay down and started to sleep.
For a moment the lake was silent.
While waiting for the black fog to reappear, Ling Feng had no idea what they were doing here. The lack of information left him bewildered. He could only keep asking Yin Xiu, "What are you waiting for here? Will there be any important information here? How can I help you?"
Yin Xiu was dozing off and didn't respond, but 408 scolded him, "Just sit still. You can't help much, so we don't have to help you later."
As the leader of the human team, he had led his teammates through life and death. Now, in a copy, his team members were gone, and they were despised by the monsters that were once on the opposite side. Ling Feng's face looked very bad, but he really calmed down.
The lake was silent. Yin Xiu suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at 408. "You didn't live in Hai Village before, did you?"
408 shook his head.
"Has the mutation spread to the area where you live? Where do you live?"
408 replied, "We were in a village a little outside Hai Village. We were quickly affected."
Yin Xiu nodded, and then he could go and see how the mutation started and how it spread.
I feel that the more I understand the background of the entire copy, the closer I am to Li Mo.
The regular town, dungeon, monsters, and a series of events all revolve around Li Mo. What is Queen Ye's plan?
Yin Xiu closed his eyes and continued to take a nap.
He missed the little tentacle ball a little.
In the silence, the bell rang suddenly, echoing throughout the town, and at the same time Yin Xiu opened his eyes.
This time the fog was thicker and darker than the last time, rising continuously from the boiling and roiling lake.
Yin Xiu immediately dropped the fishing rod in his hand, tied the rope around his waist, and jumped into the lake.
Ling Feng, who was standing next to him, was stunned. Facing the black fog that was gradually rising, he didn't dare to move at all.
Falling into darkness again, Yin Xiu got a little used to it. He groped the dark water, dived down hard, and swam continuously until his hand, which should have touched the bottom, emerged from the water. He knew that he had successfully arrived at the sea village again, so he swam upwards with all his strength and emerged from the sea.
Compared to the desertedness of the last time, the beach this time was particularly lively. Just like the sound Yin Xiu heard in the black fog, someone was banging on the altar, preparing everything.
Everyone was stunned when they saw a stranger suddenly emerge from the sea. They didn't react until Yin Xiu climbed out of the sea.
"Who are you? When did you run into the sea?" The people on the beach were very alert. Compared to the last time when they were on the verge of death, many of them this time looked like they had eaten a full meal, and were very energetic. They even shouted a little louder to Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu waved his hands and coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, but didn't respond. Instead, the woman who had spoken to Yin Xiu last time walked out of the crowd and came to the rescue, saying, "He's my brother. He's here to see the baby in my belly. He's from another village, so no one knows him."
Everyone turned to look at the woman in confusion, then silently lowered their guard. "Then keep an eye on him and don't let outsiders ruin our sacrifice."
"Yes, yes, it's my brother who's being naive." The woman smiled and hurried forward to pull Yin Xiu away. "Don't stand here. Go back and wipe the water."
Before Yin Xiu was taken away, those people kept staring at him with murderous eyes, never letting down their guard. They only turned back and continued working after Yin Xiu walked away.
It seems that this sacrifice is more important than before.
"Don't look at it." The woman pulled Yin Xiu and warned him, "Don't get into trouble. Those are not things you should be concerned about."
Yin Xiu turned back calmly and looked at the woman's belly. "It's gotten a little bigger. How many months has it been?"
The woman lowered her head, smiled, and touched her belly. "Nine months."
Yin Xiu was stunned. "She's about to give birth... You have to be careful. Don't be disturbed by this bad environment. You should hurry to Tomb Town."
The woman shook her head helplessly. "It's a critical moment in Hai Village now. No one is allowed to enter or leave here. So you, a stranger, appeared here. If I hadn't intervened just now, you would be in danger now."
Yin Xiu pondered. If he calculated the time, this sacrifice would be...
"Are they going to start a new sacrifice?"
"Um."
"Didn't they say Haicun has nothing to offer? The people themselves are almost starving to death, but I see they are very energetic now."
The woman seemed to have remembered something bad and shook her head with a bitter face, "Don't ask about it. Just pretend you don't know about Haicun's affairs."
"Knowing too much will only get you into trouble."
The woman's answer made Yin Xiu more clearly understand what was about to happen here.
