Chapter 17 The Drunken Beauty of Xiangxi (17)
Everyone's expressions were ugly. The twelve coffins scattered in the main room were different from before they left, and their positions had changed.
The most horrifying thing is that it turns out that there are corpses in the four empty coffins!
Lin Xi hurriedly squeezed over to find the coffin for her body. Soon he breathed a sigh of relief and found it. Lin Xi had paid careful attention before and marked the coffin. As long as the coffin was found, the body would definitely be right——
Lin Xi's expression suddenly froze, and the hand holding the coffin trembled slightly.
Why, why does the body in the coffin seem to have changed?
Lin Xi clearly ordered the cinnabar and tied the ribbons with his own hands, and the positions were the same as in his memory. But he just felt like there was something wrong with this corpse!
"Yes, it's resentment."
A low-pitched male voice with little confidence sounded. The speaker was a middle-aged man who had always been submissive and did not even dare to look at others.
Feeling everyone's gaze, he shrank even more, like a mouse hiding in the darkness, stumbling:
"Resentment, illusions, deceive people's eyes. Only by breaking through the illusion can it be done."
"Yu Hean has seen it with cow's tears. These corpses are covered with a thick layer of black resentment."
Miao Fangfei said solemnly.
[Name: Tears of the Old Scalper]
[Quality: Special]
[Function: Dropping cow’s tears can allow you to see another ‘world’]
[Note: Don’t use it as eye drops. If you drop too much, you will become an old scalper]
"The power of any props will be weakened in Drunken Beauty Xiangxi. Only special-level items can barely be used."
Hearing Miao Fangfei mention him, Yu and An lowered their heads further, their rough fingers uneasily picking at the seams of their trousers.
[Old scalper's repayment (blue title): You once prevented an old scalper from being killed and carefully raised it until it grew old. Good people are rewarded, and the soul of the old scalper is here to repay you! 】
With this title, Yu Hean can get a small bottle of old scalper's tears every week. Because of its high quality, it can still be used in the beautiful Xiangxi.
“To break the illusion of resentment, we must find the core.”
Xu Chen closed his eyes tightly while doing eye exercises, hissing and gasping in pain. He used his eyes too much today, saw too much resentment, and the resentment in the room was so intense that he almost went blind temporarily. He had to get confirmation from Yu and An.
"We have to quickly find out which ones are the real corpses."
Hou Feihu said seriously: "It's almost twelve o'clock, we have to set off at nine o'clock in the evening."
His words made all the passengers feel heavy, but no one lost their temper. Everyone knows that calmness is more important at this time. They haven't finished preparing the corpse yet, so they must free up this time.
"Five o'clock."
Miao Fangfei set the final time: "Before five o'clock, we have to confirm the body."
“At this point, we need everyone to work together.”
Miao Fangfei's eyes swept over everyone, and she was really like a captain. She solemnly said: "We are now grasshoppers on a rope. We are all prosperous and we are all damaged."
Yes, that's what they say, but finding it is easier said than done. Everyone actually marked the coffin, but the problem now is that they can't confirm whether the body in the coffin is the one they handled.
That subtle sense of strangeness cannot be overcome, making people unable to make a decision.
"If it doesn't work, we can only deal with these twelve corpses and drive them out."
There is no other way.
"They want to leave too."
After searching for a few rounds, the clueless fat man squatted at the door smoking. Xu Chen walked over to him tiredly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu He'an only had three drops of cow's tears in a bottle. To use them up, he had to rely on Xu Chen's title [Resentment Perception]. Xu Chen was always tense and consumed a lot.
"Yeah, who wouldn't want to leave this crappy place."
The fat man pursed his lips, reluctant to throw away the butt of the cigarette, holding it in his mouth to suck.
"Maybe those evil things lured us there on purpose."
They were talking about the group of rotting corpses in the small courtyard. Although Lin Xi and the other three were there on their own, from the time they were haunted by hallucinations, to the screams that attracted all the passengers to rescue them, no one was guarding the main room, and to the fact that there were four more corpses in the room. In various situations, it is impossible to say that there is no connection.
The corpses in the courtyard have been tortured by wind and rain for a long time, and they also want to leave and get out.
The only way out is to drive away the corpses of the passengers!
"Would you like one?"
The fat man handed Xu Chen a cigarette. Xu Chen thanked him tiredly and took the cigarette. The fat man took the initiative to light it for him.
Nicotine relaxes the tense nerves. Xu Chen rarely smokes, so he chokes and coughs. The fat man hurriedly pats him on the back.
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
The friendship over a cigarette made Xu Chen much closer to Wang Pengpai. Fatty was a generous and enthusiastic person, which made Xu Chen subconsciously trust him. When he was hesitant and entangled in his heart, Xu Chen subconsciously came to the door.
"Xiaochen is worried?"
The fat man patted him on the back, handed him a bottle of water, and said sincerely: "Brother likes to nag, so don't find it annoying Xiaochen. Just like Team Miao said, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, jumping around, dead Ah, it’s all in Yikuai. If you have any questions, I will definitely not ignore it, Brother Wang!”
The fat man patted his chest and promised, and Xu Chen somehow felt that he was trustworthy.
If he was really holding it in his chest, Xu Chen didn't know who to talk to except Fatty.
"If, I mean if, I have a way to find the core of resentment."
Xu Chen lowered his voice and spoke hesitantly, but the secret became smoother and smoother as he spoke it.
"But if I use this method, people can't move."
Xu Chen calmed down, took out something, quickly looked at Wang Pengpai, and said decisively:
"I won't use it unless someone can help me dispose of the body and carry it on my back until I recover."
"My dear, you actually have this!"
Rao was a well-informed fat man, and he almost screamed when he saw what Xu Chen took out.
[Name: * * * double-sided tape]
[Quality: unknown]
[Function: Can bond everything! 】
[Time limit: 1 hour]
"This, this, this, this, do you want to use this?"
The fat man stuttered in disbelief, his little eyes widened, his fat fingers like little carrots trembling, as if he saw a cow chewing a peony, and he was so angry: "You, you want to use this?"
"yes."
Xu Chen was also a little reluctant to give up. He didn't notice the fat man's abnormal excitement: "I asked the hotel to have it checked, and it can even bond and fuse titles... I have two similar titles, one blue and one green. When they are combined, they will advance."
[Resentment Perception (green title): You suffer from some kind of eye disease and can see inexplicable gray energy! Be careful, the more people know, the faster they will die~]
[Death Sense (blue title): You suffer from some kind of eye disease and can see the vitality and death of living people! Be careful, maybe the person with more death energy will be stronger! 】
"When these two titles are combined, they should become the purple title 'Perceiver'. Then I can see the source of the resentment in detail. Maybe I can even tell which body is our corpse through the thickness of the resentment."
Xu Chen smiled nervously: "But I am not strong enough, and I will still get a headache when using the first two titles. If I use the purple title across levels, I will definitely faint from the pain."
"Wait a minute, let me find Captain Miao. I have to tell her about this matter."
The fat man said feebly and waved his hands as if he was exhausted. He endured it again and again, but couldn't help it and asked: "How did you get this prop?"
"Is it precious?"
Fatty's attitude also made Xu Chen feel it. He was not afraid, and showed the "double-sided tape" generously: "This was accidentally opened when I opened the blind box in the hotel."
If passengers experience all the items on a journey, they will be rewarded with a ‘blind box’ at the end of the journey. It may produce treasures, or it may produce worthless garbage.
No matter what it is, the items from the blind box in the hotel cannot be traded or snatched. Xu Chen is not afraid of fat people snatching them. But you can't sell this thing. You have to use it yourself in the end anyway, so just use it when you need it most.
"You, me, oh, Xiao Xu, fat brother, let me tell you this, this thing is very precious, very, very precious, it can even stick to the purple title!"
The fat man became serious and said seriously: "If you have the purple title of 'Perceiver' and the purple title of 'Observer' in the future, and you can even temporarily get the orange title of 'Eye of the Sky' by gluing them together, then, that's..."
"Brother Wang knows a lot."
Xu Chen sighed, but his expression became calmer, and he shook his head with a smile: "The orange title is too far away from me, even the purple title. I will probably die before that."
Good things are only good when he is alive. After death, they are worthless to him.
Xu Chen knew that he was weighing a lot of money. Now he might not even be able to survive the drunken beauty of Xiangxi, so how could he dare to think about the future. But Fatty's words finally touched Xu Chen's heartstrings.
When looking for Miao Fangfei, Xu Chen couldn't help but think that he had never heard of the orange title. You must know that the titles above the purple title are mysterious and unknown. Only the great tourists and tour guides at the top of the pyramid can have them.
Xu Chen had only heard that the captain of the legendary strongest brigade seemed to have an eye in his forehead that could see through everything.
Is that the Eye of Heaven?
* *
[You have observed the resentment of the commander of the zombie flying fox, the resentment level: C level]
[Task progress: 1.75%]
"If this is the case, why did it only increase by 0.25%?"
Wei Xun complained, quickly avoiding the attack of the zombie flying fox. At this moment, his eyes were closed tightly, and two lines of blood and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Just now, Wei Xun stole a bit of resentment from the mutated corpse flying fox. He repeated his old trick to draw the resentment into his eyes, but he didn't expect this black resentment. His eyeballs couldn't bear it at all!
On the eve of his blindness, Wei Xun moved his resentment away in time. Before he could figure out how to throw this thing away, a force burst out from the two corners of his forehead, binding the black resentment and trapping it in Wei Xun's body. forehead heart.
Although the SAN value dropped a bit, Wei Xun found that he could actually see again, as if he had an extra eye on his forehead. Wei Xun could easily see through the attack trajectory of the zombie flying fox and avoid it in advance.
My head is swollen, as if a basin of hot water has been poured on it. If Wei Xun felt pain, he should have passed out from the pain just now.
But Wei Xun doesn't feel any pain, and he can even think calmly.
This mutated zombie-turned-flying fox is far stronger than the ones encountered on the mountain road. No passengers have left the group now. The guide flag has lost its strengthening power and is much weaker. Wei Xun only relies on the indestructible nature of the guide flag to barely fight with the corpse. Turn into a flying fox and circle around.
If it weren't for the previous mission, Wei Xun would have been thinking about how to escape.
Fighting is exciting, and successfully escaping from a powerful enemy is also exciting!
But he can't!
[Random mission: The vengeful zombie flying fox commander]
[Mission Level: Extremely Urgent]
[Task description: Oh my god, the commander of the zombie flying fox actually chased Xiaolong Yizhuang in order to avenge the clan fox! Best of all, it has ‘that’ thing about it! Please guide the tour guide to recover the 'Pingping's Blood Dagger' as soon as possible. If it continues to be left in Xiaolong Yizhuang, there will be a danger of the group being destroyed! 】
[Reward: Pingping’s Blood Dagger]
The strong resentment on the corpse-turned-flying fox commander was not its own. Wei Xun could clearly 'see' that there was a mass of deep red and almost black resentment hidden deeply on the left side of its abdomen.
That's the key!
The corpse-turned-Flying Fox Commander attacked again and grabbed a large piece of meat from Wei Xun's arm, but Wei Xun's tour guide flagpole hit the Flying Fox Commander's left abdomen hard again. Wei Xun had been attacking here since the beginning of the battle, and he I always attack with my left arm. When Wei Xun was covered with bruises, he finally pierced the left abdomen of the corpse-turned-flying fox commander!
"Hey——!!!"
The corpse-turned-flying fox leader roared angrily. Instead of running away, it became even more ferocious. Its sharp claws were bent like an aquiline, and it clawed hard at Wei Xun's left arm. At the same time, it viciously bit at the joints of Wei Xun's upper arm, intending to bite his arm off at the root.
It's now!
The sharp edge cut through the cold light, Wei Xun decisively used the dagger to tear its left abdomen deeper, and then his right hand, like a spear, suddenly penetrated into its abdominal cavity!
"Hey——!!!"
The commander of the corpse-turned-flying fox sensed the crisis and wanted to fight back, but it was too late!
Tear--
Like cloth torn apart, rancid black blood spurted out. Wei Xun took a step back, just in time to completely avoid it. His face covered by the bronze mask was as cold as a demon. The next moment, Wei Xun suddenly pulled out his hand and clutched the dark red dagger tightly.
"嘤——"
The commander of the corpse-turned-flying fox whined repeatedly. After losing the Blood Resentment Dagger, its body shriveled up and turned black. It flew up with difficulty and tried to escape, but it fell to the ground before it got very far and was broken into a pile of dry skin like wood chips. .
"Hoo, hoo."
Wei Xun was panting heavily, and all the resentment in his forehead was exhausted. His vision became dark, and his right hand was bone-chilling, as if he was holding not a dagger, but an extremely cold ice cube.
[Hey, the random mission is completed! 】
[Task reward distribution——]
[You get Pingping’s Blood Resentment Dagger]
[You get 150 points]
[New attraction Feihu Mountain Forest, development progress 65%]
[Hey, you killed the right commander of the Corpse Flying Fox, and the collection progress of the Corpse Flying Fox Illustrated Book is 2/4]
[The leader of the corpse-turned-flying fox, a high-level peak monster, the corpse-turned-flying fox that has eaten the corpse exorcist Ping Ping, possesses Ping Ping's resentment items, and his body contains fierce resentment]
[You kill the right commander of the zombie flying fox and gain the hatred of the zombie flying fox group. Be careful of their revenge! 】
[Name: Pingping’s Dagger of Resentment]
[Quality: Scene (can only be used during this journey, cannot be taken out of the journey)]
[Function: The person who is most resentful to Pingping will be killed]
[Note: In ancient times, it was said that weapons sacrificed with blood could produce weapon spirits. So what kind of resentful spirits will be produced by weapons sacrificed with resentful blood? 】
"The hotel is still so stingy."
Wei Xun complained, and just as he was about to raise his hand to wipe his face, he remembered that his hands were still stained with the poisonous blood of the corpse-turned-flying fox commander.
"Fuck, do I still have my hand?"
Wei Xun, who couldn't feel the pain and couldn't see for the time being, was blinded. He didn't know what the shape of his hand was due to corrosion. Moreover, the corpse-turned-flying fox commander just fell into pieces. Does it still have the guts?
Wei Xun moved his fingers. The good news is that his hand should still be intact. The bad news is that he can't even feel the itch and has no idea what's going on with his hand now!
At this moment, the hotel prompt suddenly sounded in Wei Xun's mind.
[Hey, you have been suffering from severe poisons. You were poisoned by two different poisons in just two days and survived. Maybe your body has developed resistance to the poisons! 】
[You get the title: Poison Resistance (Green)]
[Poison Resistance (Green Title): From now on, poison will no longer be able to poison you. You will only feel pain that is ten times more painful than childbirth! Of course, you are only resistant to poison, ordinary poisons can still kill you~]
[The title has been worn]
[Hey, you have been tortured by resentment. In just two days, you have been in close contact with two different strong resentments without dying. Maybe your body has developed resistance to the strong resentments! 】
[You get the title: Strong Resentment (Green)]
[Strong resentment resistance (green title): From now on, strong resentment can no longer kill you, you will only feel a hundred times more fear than watching "The Grudge"! Of course, you only have strong resentment resistance, ordinary resentment can still kill you~]
[The title has been worn]
After receiving these two titles, Wei Xun immediately felt much better. His burning eyes seemed to be soaked by a breath of cold air. He tried to blink and slowly opened his eyes. Sure enough! His eyes that were injured by resentment have basically returned to normal. Although his vision is still a little blurry, there is no big problem!
Wei Xun quickly looked at his hands and found that in his right hand, the dagger that tore the belly of the corpse-turned-flying fox commander had been completely corroded by the poisonous blood and turned into a piece of scrap metal. However, his right hand, which was completely stained red, was fine. Pingping's The Blood-Resentful Dagger was held tightly in his hand, its blade as bright red as cinnabar. On the contrary, it was the left arm that was torn apart by the zombie flying fox commander, and the injury was more serious.
"Wraith?"
Wei Xun briefly moved his arm and found that the injury was a flesh injury. Fortunately, the muscles and tendons were not injured. Wei Xun simply treated the wound and left it alone. He swung the dagger and felt nothing strange.
"Are there really evil spirits?"
Wei Xun couldn't see it for the time being, so he put this aside for the time being. After this battle, Wei Xun felt that his biggest gain was that he had gained two new titles and learned how to obtain them.
Wei Xun had so many inspirations that he almost couldn't wait to try it again, but it was a pity——
[You have been equipped with the temporary title ‘Bing Jiu’; the purple title ‘Cold-blooded’; the blue title ‘Yellow’; the green title ‘Poison Resistance’; the green title ‘Strong Resentment Resistance’, and the title column is full! 】
"Can I only wear five titles? It's so few."
Wei Xun complained and exchanged 100 points for 24 hours. It was true that he had been seriously injured in the battle just now, and the countdown to death had dropped sharply.
Otherwise, if he gets these 150 points and saves them up, Wei Xun can experience the [First Experience of Natural Childbirth] with 200 points!
This is Wei Xun’s current information——
【Tour guide information】
[Codename: Bingjiu (only on this journey)]
[Rank: Silver Five Star (Bingjiu’s rank) Ten Ten Ten]
【Death Countdown 35:24:11】
[Points: 105]
[Spiritual pollution value (SAN): 85]
There was one more plus sign, and the SAN value dropped by five points. Wei Xun did not convert all the points into time. He felt that the increased strength brought by this low time, and the small horns grown from the low SAN value were very useful.
What if his death countdown is increased to a safe range, without the strength bonus, and he dies when he encounters danger.
Wei Xun has a legitimate reason, pursuing excitement is just incidental!
"The right commander of the corpse-turned-flying fox, 2/4 of the illustrations have been collected. In other words, there is also a left commander, the corpse-turned-flying fox king or something like that?"
After this battle, he couldn't get the new clothes he had just changed into anymore. Wei Xun didn't want to bring the stinky smell of fish, rotten shrimp and blood back to his room, so he simply went outside to get wet in the rain.
"Has the corpse-turned-flying-fox commander eaten the corpse-driver Pingping? Then the scenic spot Feihu Mountain Forest should have new tasks."
Wei Xun connected the clues he got and found out that the resentment that shrouded the entire Xiaolong Yi Village was the resentment of the corpse exorcist Ping Ping, and this resentment trapped the corpses in the courtyard here - that is to say, the corpses in the courtyard were different from each other. The corpse chaser Ping Ping has a grudge.
And the corpse-turned-flying fox had eaten Pingping... but he didn't necessarily have any grudge against Pingping.
"The chiefs of Qiebi Village have tamed flying foxes for generations... A hundred years ago, the chief of Qiebi Village taught his only daughter Pingping the art of driving away corpses. Did he also teach him the method of taming flying foxes?"
Wei Xun threw away the bloody dagger in his hand. This journey required them to experience the life of Pingping, the corpse exorcist. He intuitively believed that if the Feihu Mountain Forest was really opened up, he might be able to get more clues about Pingping.
Although he is just a tour guide, who says that a tour guide can't have fun and get involved in the journey? Wei Xun was the first one to say no!
"Oh, what can I do with my body?"
After the excitement, Wei Xun began to dislike his outfit again. Now his shoes were soaked and his clothes were tattered and dirty.
Although there is a washing machine in his room, Wei Xun doesn't know how to use it.
"I don't know if Lin Xi has any clothes. If not, I have to find someone to sew and wash my clothes."
Wei Xun was thinking about it when suddenly he saw Miao Fangfei and others walking towards him.
Wei Xun's eyes lit up.
* *
"Is this the source of the black resentment you mentioned?"
Hou Feihu asked anxiously while carrying Xu Chen on his shoulders.
"yes……"
Xu Chen said weakly, he was in a very bad state now. After obtaining the title of Adhesion, he did obtain the purple title of 'Observer'. Although it only lasted one hour, it was enough.
Xu Chen only took one look and confirmed that the black resentment covering the coffin came from the corpses in the small courtyard. So Zhao Hongtu, Wang Pengpai and the other four stayed behind in the main room, while Miao Fangfei and the others hurried over here with Xu Chen.
Just in time for Wei Xun's battle to end, Wei Xun, who was covered in blood, startled them, thinking it was a new breed of blood corpse or something. Fortunately the bronze mask revealed his identity.
But now the tourists didn't bother to say hello to the tour guide, and even Miao Fangfei just nodded to Wei Xun hastily, and then looked at Xu Chen anxiously and expectantly: "Xu Chen, please confirm which corpse the source of resentment came from. "
"good."
Xu Chen responded and reluctantly stood up with Hou Feihu's help. His eyes were closed tightly, and a tear of blood flowed from his left eye. This was the injury he received when he saw Resentment just now. The purple title is too strong and cannot be endured by him now.
Use it once more at most.
So Xu Chen closed his eyes all the way and waited for the most critical moment to use it.
"Okay, let me take a look."
The left eye could not be used temporarily. Xu Chen opened his right eye. At this moment, a second purple pupil seemed to appear in his eye. This was a sign that the title of Perceiver was working!
"ah!!!"
But what no one expected was that Xu Chen screamed after just one glance. His whole body twitched and his right eye was bleeding crazily.
"Eyes! My eyes!!"
Xu Chen almost fainted from the pain, and Miao Fangfei and others were so frightened that they rushed to rescue him, feeling more and more sad in his heart. It seemed that Xu Chen had discovered the core of his resentment, but the opponent was definitely extremely powerful, and Xu Chen was defeated with just one glance.
While waiting for Xu Chen to wake up, Miao Fangfei and others carried him back to the main room and told Zhao Hongtu and others about the matter. For a moment, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn. Yu He'an, the timidest one, kept trembling, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing to shrink back.
Everyone knows they have to kill the core and find the correct body!
"Wait a minute and we'll do this or that—"
Just when Miao Fangfei and others were seriously discussing the battle plan, and the solemn atmosphere of a last-ditch battle filled the brigade, Xu Chen finally woke up. He sat up suddenly, unable to open his eyes, and hurriedly grabbed the hand of anyone around him. Hand, asked urgently:
"Who, who is it?!"
"I'm Hou Feihu, Xu Chen, don't be impatient and speak slowly."
Hou Feihu, whose hand was grabbed by him, did not shake it off, but comforted him. Seeing Xu Chen wake up, everyone gathered around, and the hot-tempered Zhao Hongtu said anxiously: "You see the core of the resentment, right? Who is it? !”
"No, no, no, who was that person next to the corpses before?!"
Xu Chen ignored him, clutched Hou Feihu's hand, and spoke incoherently. The fat man poured him a glass of water. After drinking the water, Xu Chen managed to catch his breath and his mood became more stable. Under Zhao Hongtu's questioning, he shook his head.
"No, I didn't see the core of resentment - or in other words, the entire group of corpses are cores of resentment. Thick black resentment evenly covers them."
"grass!"
His words made Zhao Hongtu explode instantly. He almost rushed over to grab Xu Chen's collar. After being blocked, he cursed fiercely: "What idiotic words are you talking about! Do you still want to clear out all the corpses? This How to destroy the core of resentment!”
What he said was hard to hear, but this was also what everyone was thinking. Miao Fangfei felt extremely heavy. If, as Xu Chen said, the corpses in the small courtyard must be cleared out in order to relieve the core of resentment, the difficulty of this beautiful Xiangxi would be too terrifying!
Even if they can deal with the zombies, the remaining time is probably not enough to deal with the zombies. Miao Fangfei feels despair in her heart. This is almost an unsolvable dilemma of death——
"No, no. There is no need to kill all the corpses."
Xu Chen gasped for breath and brought a new turn of events to everyone.
"Just find the person standing next to the corpses, yes, just find him!"
The moment Xu Chen opened his eyes, he saw the thick black resentment on the corpses, but those resentments tried their best to hide away. They are afraid, afraid of the person holding a ball of crimson resentment!
As long as he is found, the black resentment on the coffin will be avoided in fear!
But at the same time, Xu Chen also saw a strong death aura from this man that almost swallowed him up!
His eyes were not stung by resentment, but almost blinded by the extremely strong aura of death. Can a person with such a strong aura of death really still be alive?
At that time, the person standing next to the corpses——
Miao Fangfei blurted out:
"It's Bingjiu!"
