At four o'clock in the morning, Sifang City was filled with a strange and depressing atmosphere, full of weirdness and strangeness. This situation became more and more intense as one moved away from the streets.
Before they knew it, the woman carried Qiao Yuan to an area full of dilapidated temples. There were broken walls and tattered rubble and wood scattered on the ground, hidden in the darkness. It looked particularly desolate and creepy. From a distance, it looked like ghostly shadows, full of eerie atmosphere.
Without any hesitation, the woman stepped into a relatively intact temple like a ghost.
Due to the lack of light, those incomplete and unknown statues all looked so gloomy, hideous, and evil.
…
The entire temple was not very large, but in an inconspicuous corner of rubble at the back, as the woman pushed open a stone slab, a secret passage leading to the underground emerged.
Carrying the woman Qiao Yuan, they jumped into the ground, and unexpectedly some light came from the deepest part!
This is a huge stone chamber that seems to have been opened up by humans!
Walking along the passage towards the light, Qiao Yuan also discovered many fruits and vegetables rich in spiritual energy along the way, but the concentration was relatively low!
They are even worse than the fruits and vegetables sold by vendors during the day!
Tap tap
Soon, the woman carried Qiao Yuan to the middle of the stone chamber, threw him rudely onto a pile of hills nearby, and ignored him.
Qiao Yuan opened his eyes and took a look. This was not a pile of mountains, but a pile of corpses!
A two-meter-high pile of corpses!
It's not difficult to guess that these are the unlucky ones who wander out at night.
In addition to this pile of corpses, there were corpses everywhere around, piled up in all directions throughout the area.
Qiao Yuan lay in the pile of corpses, shrugged his shoulders, changed to a more comfortable position, and slid down... away from the rotten corpses.
…
"Hey, brother, it turns out you're not dead!"
A voice came from a dark corner in the distance. Qiao Yuan turned his head curiously and saw...it was an awakened person leaning against the corner pretending to be dead.
"Um."
Qiao Yuan nodded, then moved his body over, leaned against the wall, got into position, and quietly watched the performance of the three vendors in front of him.
"Friend, it's okay. They are going to start burying seeds now and will ignore us as long as we don't make too much noise!" said the man.
Hearing this, Qiao Yuan looked at the man again in surprise.
He was covered in dirt, his clothes were torn, and he smelled foul, but none of this could hide his somewhat plump body, which looked as if he had eaten too much.
"From what you said, you have been here for a long time?"
The wealthy man moved his body cautiously, then came over immediately and nodded frantically. Then his eyes gradually became empty, as if he was recalling something.
"I remember paying to cultivate at the second entrance, but Feng's group kept trying to scam me with various schemes. In a fit of rage, I left the designated area, and as I was walking, I was inexplicably sucked into this Square City..."
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have just paid the money..."
…
From the brief statement of the wealthy man, Qiao Yuan learned what had happened.
As awakened people who were sucked into the secret realm on their own, entering the secret realm early did not bring them any benefits. On the contrary... bigger troubles came one after another.
They were targeted by a group of lunatics!
"The madman you are talking about is the vendor who sells fruits and vegetables during the day?" Qiao Yuan interrupted.
The man nodded.
"These ordinary people were sucked into the secret realm. They don't know what happened, and they all went crazy!"
"On the surface, they appear to be just like normal people, but in reality, if someone attacks them and kills them, at night... they will be resurrected and target them again. No matter how hard you try, they won't be able to be killed. Instead, they become stronger the more you kill them, like a dog-skin plaster..."
At this point, the wealthy man seemed to recall some painful memories, and his expression was very frightened.
Qiao Yuan listened silently, and out of concern, he scanned again with his mental power. What he was sure of was that this was a true awakener, and his body was different from the complex energy fluctuations in the bodies of those awakened vendors.
"I can't kill them, and I can't escape... Those who came in with me are all dead, and I'm the only one alive."
The man looked a little gloomy.
…
"But then I found this place. Rather than letting them find me, I might as well walk into their trap. There are so many Awakened corpses here. As long as I hide deep enough, I can definitely survive. The most dangerous place is the safest..."
"My friend, listen to me and don't get any ideas. There are 20 or 30 corpses here. It won't be easy for them to find us..."
"And for some reason these past few days, more and more Awakened have died, and there are more and more corpses, making it even harder for them to find us."
The man persuaded Qiao Yuan to give up those unrealistic ideas and never think about killing these lunatics.
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Yuan asked.
"What seeds are you talking about?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the man who had been nagging suddenly shut his mouth and became silent. Then his pupils trembled slightly and his eyes looked at the three vendors in the distance.
Following the man's gaze, Qiao Yuan discovered that the three vendors not far away had made new moves.
They were working hard to dig holes with hoes.
What are they doing?
…
The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of hoes being swung could be heard. The atmosphere in the air was extremely depressing, like the calm before a storm.
"Have you eaten those things?" The man bared his teeth with a meaningful expression.
Qiao Yuan nodded.
"It's juicy, sweet, and delicious..."
