Villager of Destiny

Chapter 183 Tiankeng Village

Thinking of this, I sighed.

Still decided to take one step at a time.

Then after confirming that Zhang Mingyu and Lin Qingxue would not come here, I decided to go to Zhongdong Gu Village by myself first, maybe they have already returned to Tianshi Mountain because of their injuries.

Fortunately, I know how to get to the Zhongdong Gu Village, even without Zhang Mingyu and Lin Qingxue leading the way, I can still find the Zhongdong Gu Village under the guidance of the beads transformed from the Dragon Hunting Map.

So after making a decision, I set off again.

But just to be on the safe side, I went back to Yinbing Valley when I set off, and even went back to the place where I stayed with Zhang Mingyu and the others at the beginning, but obviously, I still couldn't find them.

There is no way, I can only choose one to go to Zhongdong Gu Village in the end.

Of course.

This is also my original intention.

I just don't know their situation, and I'm still somewhat worried.

But thinking that both of them have great abilities, even though they were both injured, they probably wouldn't choose to sit and wait for death, so I also put away my worries and set off on the road with peace of mind.

Before that, Zhang Mingyu left me some magical amulets, so even without them, I would not walk slowly, but because I needed to sense the guidance of the beads transformed by the dragon map along the way, according to what Lin Qingxue originally said, I would walk within two days. I was still a day too late to get to the eighteen sinkholes.

On the third day after leaving Yinbing Valley, I came to the vicinity of Shiba Tiankeng and stopped in a village called Tiankeng Village.

Tiankeng Village was built near Shiba Tiankeng. There were not many people in the village. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or other reasons. There were exactly [-] families.

Not only that, but there is a number at the door of each family, ranging from one to eighteen.

What surprised me even more was that when I came to Tiankeng Village, the villagers in Tiankeng Village saw that I was not as strange as I felt when I went to other villages before, but they were very warm to me.

During their conversation, I found out that the eighteen families of them were not originally from here, but came to settle here because of the eighteen sinkholes that appeared here.

The numbers from one to eighteen exactly represent the tiankeng they occupy.

In other words, the eighteen tiankengs were occupied by them. They used the eighteen tiankengs as a gimmick to attract some people who came here for their fame, and then took them to the tiankengs for a walk to collect rewards.

My arrival also made them mistakenly think that I came here for fame.

After knowing this, I didn't point it out, but I was a little surprised.

According to what Lin Qingxue said before, even the elders of Tianshi Mountain have not been able to find out the mystery of the eighteen tiankengs, and the danger is also unknown.

Even so, when I left Yinbing Valley and headed here, I actually carried all my heart.

I thought about what might happen in these eighteen tiankengs, but judging from the current situation, these eighteen tiankengs seem to be really not dangerous.

Otherwise, why would these people occupy this place and make their fortunes?
There is no danger, and it is not a bad thing, at least it can let me breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, and then make more preparations, so that I can go to the Zhongdong Gu Village.

However, after some inquiries, I did not enter Tiankeng Village.

Because the people in this village are all for money, and money is money, and I don't have money.

So after I came here, I knew the situation here and found a random place outside the village. I planned to rest for one night and then set off to Zhongdong Gu Village. There is no danger here and there is no need to stay here.

However sometimes.

It might just be a coincidence.

Or it is because of my arrival that the absence of danger becomes danger.

Even I have to admit this.

When I was just about to take a break, there was a sudden loud noise at the location of the eighteen tiankengs, and then I saw people from Tiankeng Village running out of the village and running towards the location of the eighteen tiankengs go.

I saw this and followed.

We arrived at the location of Tiankeng No. [-].

The No. [-] tiankeng is in the center of the [-]th tiankeng. At this time, there is a thick smoke rising from the pit. The thick smoke is gray and black, and there is a faint smell.

And at the place where the thick smoke was, at a glance, I saw two figures.

The two lay motionless in the pit, as if they had lost their breath.

Seeing this scene, I feel helpless, and I know that I am still too happy.

Although I have long been used to such a situation, I still feel a little guilty at this time, because according to my brief understanding of Tiankeng Village, nothing has happened here in these years.

Now that I have come, things will come.

I didn't move in a hurry, but stood outside the pit and watched other people from Tiankeng Village go down the No. [-] Tiankeng.

The tiankeng is very deep, but there is a circle of platforms. It is not known whether the circle of platforms is artificially made or left innately.

Those two figures were on that circle of platforms.

The thick smoke actually appeared from them as well.

After a while, the two were lifted up.

The whole body was scorched black, and it looked very hideous and terrifying. When it was lifted out, some people who were less timid turned their heads away unconsciously, and vomited because of nausea.

One person said, "The two of them should have been burned to death."

I looked at the person who spoke and recognized him at a glance. He is the owner of Tiankeng No. [-] and the first person to entertain me after I came here.

He said his name was Chen Fu.

After Chen Fu finished speaking, the surrounding crowd exploded in an instant.

"how is this possible?"

"Why is there a fire here?"

"Disaster!"

Someone suddenly yelled.

As soon as these two words appeared, the crowd became even more excited, and even one person knelt on the ground directly, his face looked terrified.

And as he knelt down, several others followed him.

Only about half of those who were still standing for a while remained.

Looking at this scene, Chen Fu frowned slightly, and said sharply: "There is no such thing as a natural disaster. We have been here for many years, and nothing has happened."

"There must be something wrong here."

"You see that Lao Jiu has become like this, even his guests are following...you still say it's not a natural disaster?"

"Boss, what do you mean if this is not a natural disaster?"

After a moment of silence, Chen Fu said: "I will find out the problem."

"But now is not the time for you to go down by yourself, you take Lao Jiu and the guest back first."

"I'll go down and see!"

"What?" Everyone froze for a moment.

"Are you going down?"

Chen Fu nodded and said: "I suspect that Lao Jiu and the others may have violated the regulations and entered the sinkhole."

As he spoke, Chen Fu grabbed a handful of shoes from the dead body on the ground.

There was a handful of dirt on his hands, black dirt.

"It doesn't exist outside of this earth tiankeng."

"This black soil only exists in this sinkhole."
