Chapter 1651 Garbage

According to the existing information from the old man's mouth, even he knows very little about this strange world. He was swallowed up and merged into this ghost ship in his early years, but he is familiar with what is happening in the ghost ship under the river.

Among the six realms, it is basically impossible for all kinds of creatures to break through the furnace wall of heaven and come to this world.

Only this river boat that possesses the power of space and plane can briefly travel to their world under certain conditions and rules.

The old man was originally a cultivator from the Immortal Kingdom. When he was practicing in the Great Swamp, he accidentally entered this ship in search of opportunities and rare treasures, and was brought to this world.

Then he began to be gradually polluted by the strange spirit here, but by chance, he retained his original consciousness and was half-swallowed by the ghost ship under the river, becoming one of the decorations on the ship here.

Hearing this, Bailian laughed and said, "In that case, you are not a passenger at all, but just an 'ornament' here."

The old man realized what he had revealed. He was furious and said, "Even if I am just an ornament, I am also part of the ship under the river. You can move me as you please, but you cannot destroy me. If you do, killing me will be the same as killing the passengers here."

Bailian smiled and said, "Don't worry, since you and I are from the same hometown, I will not kill you."

The rules on this ship are naturally set by the overlord, Hexia Youchuan.

Although the ghost ship under the river is in the shape of a ship, it is actually a real monster with extraordinary wisdom and self-awareness.

The world inside the ship is the one where He makes the rules.

In this mysterious land, food is scarce, supplies are scarce, and there are very few environments suitable for living creatures to survive.

Therefore, the monsters feed on each other and evolve by devouring their own kind.

According to the old man, although this Xuanyuan world is more accompanied by danger and despair, and there are few environments and homes suitable for the survival of living beings, they do exist.

It’s just that this world is too vast. In this pollution-stricken area full of monsters, these deeply polluted monsters basically have no chance of crossing to the end of this unpredictable disaster area and finding their own plane of survival.

Perhaps, compared with the entire Xuanyuan world, the six realms of the world where Bailian lives now may be just as small as a grain of dust.

As for those planes of the world that are suitable for survival, these polluted and strange things cannot be seen. Just like the six realms of the human world, they are protected by the unbreakable laws of nature.

Any creature that accidentally enters this ghost ship under the river, no matter it is a monster or a creature of other races, needs to sacrifice a large amount of flesh and blood to satisfy the appetite of this ghost ship under the river, before they can become a passenger here, temporarily settle down in an area, and be protected by the laws of the ghost ship under the river.

Of course, there are also some strange creatures with limited power who are unable to pay the expensive fare. They take the initiative to sacrifice part of their body to the ghost ship under the river, and agree to become a replacement for some parts on the ship. In this way, they do not have to pay the fare and can stay here forever.

Of course, the price is to lose freedom forever and become an accessory of the ship under the river, and you can never leave the ship.

Unlike the passengers on this ship, the passengers here can leave at any time if their boat fee expires and they do not want to stay here any longer.

And this old man's head is obviously the former.

In this ghost ship, one of the rules is that you cannot kill or hunt each other or hurt each other. If you are hungry, you can go to the deck outside the cabin and use your own abilities to hunt monsters in the water for food.

And in this area of ​​water, there are also countless strange monsters hidden. There is a ghost ship hidden under the river. I don’t know how many dark ghosts want to occupy the skin of the ghost ship under the river, take it for themselves and devour it, so as to resist the erosion of the light abyss.

The ghost boats under the river travel in this long river all year round, also trying to lure ghosts onto the boats, and eventually they are trapped and die in the belly of the boats. They either become rent sacrifices robbed and hunted by passengers, or they offer themselves up to become "part" of the boat.

Over the years, the dominant position of Hexia Youchuan has never been shaken.

Of course, in this strange world, there is no absolute safety day after day. Even a dominant monster like the ghost ship under the river is afraid of the erosion and pollution of the light abyss.

In order to maintain his original consciousness from being violated and swim in the long river, when Guangyuan flourished to the extreme in this world, the more powerful the monster was, the stronger the impact of mental pollution would be.

The only way to protect oneself from this disaster in the abyss of light is to seek shelter from a larger and more powerful monster skin.

Therefore, at regular intervals, the dark ship under the river would dive into the river bottom world, drift downstream, and hide in an 800-mile Black Yin River at the bottom of the river. With the help of the cover of the Black Yin River, it could survive the erosion of the Light Abyss.

The Black Shadow River is a fast-flowing river with countless space cracks hidden inside. Within those cracks are connections to various world spaces.

In the six realms of the human world, one can occasionally see the shadows of ghost ships under the river that do not belong to this world, but this is also because of the cracks.

However, the dark boat under the river cannot stay in the crack space for long, and will be sucked back into this world by the turbulent water of the Black Dark River, and everything will return to normal.

At this point, the old man couldn't help showing a smug look on his face: "The passengers on this ship look down on us, the ship decorations, and think that we can't afford the expensive room fees and can only sell our bodies or souls to survive here.

But what's wrong with surviving? At least we have the maximum protection from the dark boat under the river.

It is precisely because we have become part of the body of the ghost ship under the river that the monster takes special care of its own body and will naturally take special care of us as well.

Therefore, when the Light Abyss was at its peak, even a monster like the Hexia Youchuan had to hide in the Black River to avoid disaster. But even though the Black River was also the incarnation of a monster, it had been dead for many years, and only its shell remained, which allowed a creature like the Hexia Youchuan to live there. But a monster as ancient and extraordinary as the Black River, even though it had been dead for many years, still maintained countless crazy laws inside.

Once you are trapped in it, all the laws within the ship will be disordered and out of control. The pollution of the Black Dark River is extremely terrible. Even the laws within the ship can no longer protect the passengers in the river. Therefore, once the ship dives into the Black Dark River, the passengers on the ship will go crazy, fight each other, and lose their self-awareness.

In this way, the number of passengers will be greatly reduced, and even if they survive, they will never be able to regain their original sanity and will completely become crazy monsters. For passengers who end up like this, the ghost ship under the river will break the rules and eat them.

Therefore, every time they went deep into the Black Shadow River, the passengers would either leave the boat in advance or be taken into the Black Shadow River together to undergo a "cleansing" like a major blood transfusion.

Hehe, it's not like us. Although we have lost our limbs and cannot leave this boat at will, we can at least move around freely inside the boat. And as part of the boat, we will not be affected by this and kill each other. The ones who survive in the end are not those arrogant and great tenants, but us who are "surviving" in their mouths. "

Bailian said: "But there are still many monsters in this ship, and they have no intention of leaving here."

The old man glanced at Bailian with a strange look and was horrified, wondering what kind of evil mind this kid had. He just said a few more words, but he actually grasped the key to it.

He coughed twice quickly and lowered his voice intentionally: "That... the ghost ship under the river will protect its passengers, but few of the monsters in this world are kind. If the passengers stay on the ship, it will only benefit the ghost ship under the river. Most of the monsters in this world do not have the power to freely roam this river area, so naturally they have no way of knowing the existence of the Dark River. Since they are ignorant, how can they be afraid to leave."

  So, the reason why the Queen showed him the way here was because there was a crack space under the Black Shadow River that could lead him back?

But if everything is really as the old man said, and the boat sinks into the Dark River, all the passengers here will go crazy, so even if they live in a safe house, it is not absolutely safe, right?

"How long is it until the day when Guangyuan reaches its peak as you said?"

“I don’t know.

"Ok?"

The old man perked up and said hurriedly, "I really don't know. There is no special pattern for the day when the Light Abyss reaches its peak. It may be the next moment, or it may be tens of millions of years later. It is precisely because it comes without any signs that every time, a large number of monsters will die in this world, and some of them may even be overlord-level beings."

"So, what other rules are there on this ship?"

"Uh...and there's also cleaning work."

"Cleaning?"

"Exactly." The old man's eyes rolled around, and he laughed, "Since you are from the human world, you should have seen the seas and mountains of the human world. In those seas, there are big fish and whales. On the bodies of such huge fish, there are always some harmful barnacles and snails that are difficult for them to remove. The same is true for the ghost ship under the river. In this ship, in addition to 'passengers' and 'ornaments', there is also 'garbage' that needs to be cleaned. Of course, whether it is passengers, ornaments or garbage, their identities are all strange.

The monsters I'm talking about, called 'garbage', are very difficult to deal with. They neither pay rent to the boat nor offer themselves. They have their own unique rules and can live on the ghost boat. In most cases, the ghost boat under the river can't do anything about this monster. "

Bailian said: "Since this kind of monster can ignore the rules of the boat and stay here by force, does this mean that they can occupy the skin of the boat?"

"Of course not." The old man said as a matter of course: "The 'garbage' in the river is so strange and numerous. If any small fish or shrimp can take over the skin and body of the overlord level, isn't this a fantasy? It's just taking advantage of the law and being able to live here without paying any conditions.

But everything in the world must abide by the principle of balance. Although these monsters can parasitize the powerful Overlord Monster to survive, they themselves have great flaws. The monsters that can be called "garbage" have basically been completely eroded by the pollution power of this world and have lost their true selves. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are zombies. The Overlord and the passengers cannot clean up these "garbage" because the rules and rights are different and more or less targeted, but the monsters of outsiders are not bound by this rule and can clean up the "garbage" here at will in exchange for the right to stay. "

After saying this, the old man couldn't help but look up at Bailian.

But he lowered half of his face, with a half-smile on his face and a meaningful expression.

The old man suddenly let out a strange cry and said, "Uncle Long, I didn't lie to you!"

Bailian smiled and said, "You didn't lie to me, but you selectively concealed some important information, didn't you?"

If the old man had a heart, it would have skipped a beat at this moment out of shock.

"You, you, you...how did you know that?"

Bailian said: "You have indeed explained the food chain level here in detail to me, and I have a general understanding of the strange rules of those so-called "garbage", but you have not mentioned their strength, but have been deliberately guiding me. There are a lot of these "garbage", they are very difficult to deal with, have big flaws, and have low intelligence levels.

This makes people subconsciously think that cleaning up garbage must be a very simple job, but come to think of it, it’s not the case, right? "

Bailian shook the old man's head in his hand as if it were an object, and said with a smile: "My fellow, do you think it would be fun to feed garbage to the monsters? I guess those monsters you call 'garbage' haven't eaten for a long time, right? They... shouldn't be picky eaters, right?!"

The old man burst into tears instantly, "Uncle Long! I shouldn't have lied to you. I was wrong, I was wrong! I was really wrong! Whatever you ask me next, I will answer all three questions without wasting your breath. You must not feed me out!"

He really believed that this kid was capable of doing such a thing.

He fed him to those monsters, but he did not kill him himself. It also would not violate the rules here, and naturally he would not attract too much malice from the ghost ship under the river for the time being.

"You are truly wise and intelligent. Those monsters are not easy to mess with. Some are strong, some are weak, and some are even stronger than the tenants here. You have fought with Ayiwu, right? Even a creature like her would have to avoid some of these special 'junk'. They are not easy to mess with.

But it doesn't matter, you still have me. If you want to clean up the 'garbage' to earn the rent, I can show you the way and identify the monsters for you, Uncle Long, and I will definitely not let you fall into unnecessary danger. "
