The players approached and looked at the tablets one by one, finding that they were all very ordinary names. Then they looked around, trying to find something unusual.
There is a huge incense burner in front of the tablet, which is used for offerings. It contains a lot of ashes from burnt incense.
Someone pinched a little bit of it with his hand and rubbed it, but was accidentally burned by the burning incense next to him. He hissed and touched the incense in anger.
When others heard his voice, they asked him what was the matter, but he just waved his hands.
Everyone looked at the cup of tea and didn't find anything strange.
"There doesn't seem to be anything strange here. Apart from the memorial tablets, incense, and offerings."
"Yeah, I looked everywhere, but there wasn't much information besides it being a bit gloomy."
“Sizzle.”
Several players were talking, and suddenly they heard some strange noises coming from right in front of the ancestral hall.
The man with tattoos immediately looked ahead vigilantly, "Be careful!"
The others immediately surrounded him.
On the beams that they couldn't see, some dark green branches were entwined, like snakes, quietly approaching the players.
One player was suddenly tied up by the throat by the dark green thing, dragged onto the beam and strangled to death.
Before anyone else could react, they lost another teammate.
…
The ancestral hall was not built by Anning Village, but the ancestors inside are their own ancestors after all, so there are people in the village who will be responsible for offering tea and offering sacrifices.
"Ah! Someone's dead!" The person in charge of doing these tasks smelled a strong smell of blood as soon as he opened the door. There was plenty of light during the day, and he could see that in front of the tablets in the ancestral hall were broken limbs and blood all over the ground.
No body was intact.
The man's voice quickly attracted the entire village.
"Why are all these players dead? Who killed them?"
"I don't know. Were you fine yesterday?"
"How can we possibly kill them with our abilities?"
"Yes, these people are very powerful. Even if it was us who did it, there might not be any movement at all."
"Jingzhi is here!"
Hearing this voice, everyone made way for An Jingzhi to come in.
As soon as he came in and smelled the strong smell of blood, An Jingzhi covered his nose with some disgust.
"It's okay. They must have done something inside the ancestral hall at night. There are monsters in the ancestral hall at night that were released by the thing that brought us in. They must have done something to anger the monsters inside."
The others didn't actually know there were monsters in the ancestral hall. They just heard An Jingzhi always tell the players not to go in. Now that they suddenly heard and saw the deaths of these players, they were all shocked. Some people asked worriedly:
"There are monsters in here. We can't even defeat such fierce players, but these monsters can kill them all. Then when we go in to worship our ancestors, won't we be killed by these monsters by accident?"
An Jingzhi walked out of the ancestral hall that smelled a bit disgusting and explained in a gentle voice, "It's okay. We are the descendants of this ancestral hall. According to the rules, as long as we don't do anything disrespectful to our ancestors, nothing will happen."
After hearing his explanation, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good. Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to go in there again. I don't know where those monsters are hiding. This place is only this big, and I haven't seen anything strange here on weekdays."
Before, they were thinking about whether to send people to guard the ancestral hall. After all, the ancestors in the ancestral hall were indeed their own ancestors. But after such an incident, no one dared to do so, and there was really no need to do so. It was safer to have those monsters guarding it than them.
…
Originally, the cycle lasted 5 days, but the death of the player would speed up the cycle.
The sun and moon outside were setting very quickly, as if the progress bar was being pulled by an invisible hand.
Except An Jingzhi, no one noticed anything unusual.
The remaining three days passed in just one minute.
As soon as the players arrived at the village entrance, they saw the villagers coming to greet them and immediately smiled.
The leader was a female player, probably in her twenties, of average appearance, and giving off a friendly vibe. She said to the old village chief, "Hello, sir. We are tourists passing through and would like to stay in your village for five days. I know you offer room and board for 10,000 points, and we're willing to pay."
The old village chief and everyone else were a little surprised. How could someone be so self-aware?
He nodded and looked at An Jingzhi who was in charge. After An Jingzhi nodded, the old village chief responded with an "OK".
Then the players transferred the points to An Jingzhi on the spot. There were 12 players coming this time, and they gained 120,000 points at once. An Jingzhi was in a good mood.
Just as Mrs. Lin was about to take them to their accommodation, the young female player cautiously said to An Jingzhi, "I heard that you guys here pay points for food and lodging, and you can guarantee safety, right?"
An Jingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded without hesitation. "That's right. As long as you don't trespass, I can guarantee your safety for the next five days." It seemed that the first team of players had spread the word. I believed that more and more people would come to give points in the future.
The player behind him and her teammates all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
They spent 20,000 points in the infinite world to obtain this information. Their team is composed of women, who appear to be ordinary women on the surface, ranging in age from 20 to 30.
This group of female players took the initiative to promise that they would never recklessly intrude.
An Jingzhi didn't say anything. He handed the people to Old Lady Lin and left. Old Lady Lin led them to their residence. Maybe these people were all female players, and they were not very old.
Old Mrs. Lin had a good impression of them, and since these female players were trying to please her, they got along well along the way.
"Xiao Liu, this is where you're staying. I'll bring someone to bring you food when it's time for dinner."
The friendly female player smiled and thanked her, "Okay, Grandma Lin, we got it. Thank you for your help."
Old Mrs. Lin smiled and explained a few more things, and said that if there was anything, I could come to her house to find her.
This group of female players behaved very gently along the way, and Mrs. Lin didn't mind giving them some more advice.
After Mrs. Lin left, the female player, who had been very gentle, suddenly stopped smiling.
"It seems that the information sold by those players is true."
"Yes, there actually is a place where you can get asylum by paying points. These people are really just like what the information said, just like ordinary villagers."
"So is An Jingzhi the boss? I feel like he's the strongest."
"We can't be sure. We must be careful. Fang Kang's team was completely wiped out. We must not be careless."
The Fang Kang they were talking about was from the team of the man with tattoos.
The team that provided them with information was the fat man's team that arrived first.
