Chapter 852 Not Letting Go
"Sister Xiaoyue, why was the way you used your talent just now different from before?" Tao Nai approached Ji Xiaoyue, looked at her and asked.

"When we participated in the dungeon together before, I gradually improved my talent power. Now I can use the talent of rewinding time on a large scale, but I can't use it all the time, otherwise it will easily cause side effects." Ji Xiaoyue answered fluently.

"It's really thanks to you this time. I will treat you to a big meal when we get out." Jie Yu touched his neck.

The pain from being bitten by the dog's head just now was still lingering in his neck, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

If it weren’t for Ji Xiaoyue, he would have definitely died this time.

Ji Xiaoyue just nodded calmly, and then led everyone to move forward.

The terrain of this small mountain village in front of us is not complicated. The main road of the village goes all the way forward, and there are simple houses of villagers on both sides of the road. Just walk along for a few minutes, and you will reach the crooked tree at the end of the road.

There is a bend at the location of the crooked tree. When Tao Nai and his friends were walking on the main road, as long as they slowly approached the crooked tree, they could see a road leading to the village exit after the bend through the layers of tree shadows.

The road out was covered with a thick layer of fog, so thick that the scenery outside the village could not be seen clearly. It was like a white veil covering the sky and the earth, blocking everyone's sight and giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Let's get out of the village first, and then think of a way..." Tao Nai had just turned the corner when she suddenly felt her feet sink. She subconsciously lowered her head to look at the ground, and when she looked up again, she clearly saw that the scenery around her had changed.

At the familiar village entrance, more villagers walked out of the houses on both sides. They seemed to ignore Tao Nai and the others and were busy with their own things.

Looking forward along a winding main road, Taonai just saw the crooked tree at the bend at the end of the road.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, and the branches hanging from the crooked tree swayed slightly with the wind, as if arms were hanging from the crooked tree, greeting Tao Nai and the others enthusiastically.

[Ding - It is detected that the player is suffering from mental pollution, the mental value is -10]

Tao Nai's temple throbbed with pain, and he heard the system's warning sound in his head.

At this moment, everyone present looked a little gloomy.

"Are we stuck in a dead end?" asked Fox Princess.

"But it's broad daylight here, how could there be any ghosts?" Little Xingxing shrank his neck in fear and hid behind Tao Nai.

"This is a dungeon, so it's normal to encounter ghosts during the day. Let's go and try again to make sure we really can't get out." Tao Nai walked out first.

Everyone followed closely, except Ji Xiaoyue, who remained motionless.

She took a deep look at Taonai as he left, sighed, and followed him silently.

Tao Nai walked along this road again, and sure enough, he returned to the village entrance when he turned a corner. Ji Xiaoyue said, "There must be something in the village that we need to explore. We need to find something before we can go out."

"How do you know? Have you found out anything about this?" Luo Mianmian looked at Ji Xiaoyue and found that Ji Xiaoyue seemed extremely calm in such an unfamiliar environment, like a veteran who had been here many times.

Ji Xiaoyue looked calm, "I've played so many dungeons, so even if I'm not sure, I can make a rough guess. Also, I don't know what's going on with you, but every time I return to the same place, my spirit value drops. If I continue to force my way in, I estimate that I will have to go through four or five more times before I die here."

"Me too. My spirit value has dropped by 20 points since I started. Let's not take this road out of the village for now. Let's go into the village and check the situation." Tao Nai left the moment he stepped into the village and smelled the fragrance of food in the air.

It seemed that the families who were busy cooking just now had already prepared their meals. The aroma of rice lingering in the air was extremely attractive, and Taonai's stomach soon began to growl.

"It's amazing that we've been so busy until now and haven't eaten anything yet." Xiang Qiu touched his stomach and looked at the people around him.

Luo Mianmian looked at Xiang Qiu and said disdainfully, "This is a dungeon. How dare you eat or touch anything here? Do you think your life is too long?"

Xiang Qiu was choked, touched his nose and calmed down: "I understand this, but the food in this village does smell tempting."

"Young people, just eat whatever you want. Why put yourself in such a difficult position? Besides, the people in our village are very friendly. As long as you ask, any family will be willing to let you stay for dinner." At this time, a low laugh suddenly came from the yard of a house that Xiang Qiu passed by.

His attention was drawn to this family. Xiang Qiu looked towards the courtyard, but found that the courtyard was empty without a single person in sight. He also didn't know where the voice just now came from.

"This family is so strange..." Looking past the sparse fence, Xiang Qiu quickly found something wrong. "There should be chicken coops, duck coops, pig pens and cow sheds in the backyard, right? Shouldn't the places where these livestock live be ventilated? Why did this family surround these cages with wooden boards?"

Normal pig pens and cow sheds are not sealed. It is enough to just surround them to ensure that the animals do not run out.

But this family was completely different from others. Whether it was the chicken coop, duck coop, pig pen or cowshed, they were all airtight. In particular, a circle of wooden boards were nailed horizontally outside the sealed wooden boards, as if they were afraid that something would escape.

"It's not just this family. I noticed on the way here just now that every family in this village raises livestock in this way." Ji Xiaoyue said.

Tao Nai thought for a moment, "This village is indeed very strange. Why don't I go to this family's house and take a look?"

Although she had no plans to come in for dinner, she might be able to get more information if she came in to take a look.

Before anyone else could respond to Tao Nai's words, the tightly closed door in front of him was opened by someone from inside the room. Immediately afterwards, a burst of charming fragrance came out, causing Tao Nai to swallow.

At this time, a woman wearing a bamboo hat came out and made a gesture of invitation to everyone.

"Hello, someone in the backyard just now said that any family can get meals, is that right?" Tao Nai found that the woman was dressed very simply, much like the simple villagers living in the mountains in the 1980s. She wore a red top with dark green trousers and black cloth shoes. Only the bamboo hat on her head made her look out of place.
