"Yes, it's OK!" The man with the sword nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then quickly told Gu Qingxi and the others.
Gu Qingxi listened to the man's story, and her face slowly changed, becoming more and more solemn. Things were much worse than she expected.
They came to an unknown small space.
This isolated space had a very harsh environment. The cultivators who fell into this space were all unable to operate their spiritual power and became ordinary people.
Here, if they want to survive, they have to find food on their own. Here, there is no longer a distinction between strong and weak by cultivation as in the outside world, but by the physical fitness of the body itself. In simple terms, it is the one who has the harder fist who has the final say. No matter
how strong a cultivator is in the outside world, he is just a mortal here. If you don't have a strong physique, you will be bullied.
This place is especially unfriendly to female cultivators. Female cultivators with Yuanying cultivation outside are not even as good as a strong male cultivator in the Qi Refining period when they come here.
This space is very strange. After the monks fell into it, they became mortals, but time seemed to stop. The monks would not grow old. But it is not right to say that time stopped. The monks would feel hungry, cold, and sick.
The environment here is bad because the days are short and the nights are long. The only way to get food here is to go hunting in the mountains.
But you can only go hunting in the mountains ten days a month. In the other twenty days, monsters will appear here. This monster is all black, huge, strong, with sharp claws and teeth. It will hunt humans when it sees them. Humans are not their opponents at all and can only avoid their sharp edges.
Originally, these people did not want to tell Gu Qingxi about the monster. They wanted to wait until the time came and Gu Qingxi would be killed by the monster without being prepared. But seeing that Lao Li on the ground had fainted due to excessive blood loss. And he didn't dare to say a word before he fainted. So I gave up the idea of sinning Gu Qingxi.
If Gu Qingxi was lucky enough not to be hunted by the monster, then what awaited them would be a consequence worse than death. This little girl is really too cruel. They really didn't have the courage to take the risk.
"So you are going up the mountain to hunt for food?" Gu Qingxi asked coldly.
"Yes, yes. There are many empty houses in the village. You can find one to live in." The man with the sword nodded.
"Are those empty houses left by the dead?" Gu Qingxi asked calmly.
The man with the sword felt nervous. He really couldn't underestimate this little girl. She was so sharp that she guessed it right away.
"How did they die? Some were hunted by monsters, and some were killed by stronger people? There are no rules here. Oh, it should be said that the strongest people themselves are the rules?" Gu Qingxi glanced at the few people whose faces were getting paler and paler at the moment. He had already guessed the cruel survival rules of this small space thoroughly.
Gu Qingxi's words made these people sweat. They didn't expect that with just a face-to-face meeting, this young female cultivator had already almost figured out the bottom of this place. Is this an old monster who has lived for many years? Why is he so sharp?
"Where does the strongest person live? Do all the people who come here have to pay him a visit, and offer him food every time they hunt?" Gu Qingxi asked again.
Several people were almost numb to Gu Qingxi's aggressive questioning. This must be an old witch who has lived for thousands of years!
"In the largest house in the middle. You can't beat him. He is very strong. All of us combined are not his opponent. If you commit yourself to him and follow him, your life will not be difficult. If you are lucky, your two friends will not have to take risks to hunt." The man with the sword seemed to be kind in persuading Gu Qingxi.
When Gu Qingxi heard this, a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Do you think you are very smart?"
"I, I don't understand what you mean." The man with the sword panicked, but tried his best to play dumb.
"You few trash, of course, can't be my opponent together. As for wanting to provoke me to go head-on, do you think you are a fool or an idiot?" Gu Qingxi sneered.
The man with the sword blushed when he heard Gu Qingxi's mocking words, but he didn't dare to refute.
"Get out!" Gu Qingxi shouted impatiently.
The man with the sword lowered his head and was about to leave as if he had been pardoned. After taking two steps, he remembered something and dragged away the unconscious Lao Li lying on the ground.
After these people walked away, Feng Xia Tian said, "No way, these people don't look like good people, but they still have some loyalty? And they took that person away?"
Gu Qingxi said in a deep voice, "It's not loyalty. People without value can't survive in this place. That person has lost his value. The only purpose of taking him away..."
"Bait. Bait for hunting prey." Le Kong also said in a deep voice at this time.
Feng Xia Tian felt a chill all over his body when he heard this. He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where those people disappeared, and his mood could not calm down for a long time.
"If these people are not lying, this place is indeed very dangerous." Gu Qingxi glanced at the village, "Let's settle down first. After Xia Tian recovers from her injuries, we will find a way to leave here."
Gu Qingxi certainly would not believe all of what those people said. Many things need to be verified by themselves.
But now it is certain that those people did not lie to them in one way. This place is indeed weird. It seems that all the spiritual power has disappeared. There is not a trace of spiritual energy here, which gives her a bad feeling. As
soon as they stepped into the village, several eyes fell on Gu Qingxi and the others wantonly.
But it is obvious that these people are more cautious. They did not rashly step forward to provoke Gu Qingxi and the others just because they look very weak.
Gu Qingxi and the others continued to walk to the back of the village. Along the way, many people came out of the house, looked at Gu Qingxi and the others, and then went to the entrance of the village. They were all busy going up the mountain to hunt and prepare food.
At this moment, it is a very stupid thing to waste time and energy on newcomers and delay the time to prepare food.
Finally, Gu Qingxi and the others found a fairly solid house at the end of the village. There were simple and rough furniture inside, just a table, a stool, and a somewhat rotten bed, but these were already covered with dust. A tattered broom was leaning against the wall.
Gu Qingxi picked up the broom, swept the bed and stool randomly, pointed at the bed, and said to Feng Xiatian: "Cripple, lie down and have a rest."
Feng Xiatian: "..." I really wanted to say "bald man" in response, but I didn't dare.
