What is a demon?

Chapter 85 Smell the food
In the evening, Gu Changqing squatted by a creek. There was no sign of life in the water.

"There are no microorganisms?" Gu Changqing suddenly asked curiously.

He hadn't cared much about such things while at camp.

The others looked at each other, then shrugged.

"I don't know anything, so what's the use of you? Do you think you're here for a trip?" Gu Changqing asked with raised eyebrows.

"Forget it, find a place to rest and continue on your way!"

"Speaking of which, it smells really fucking bad in here!"

Ever since entering this world, there has been a faint rancid smell, as if something was rotten.

A few people took a look at the sky and found a cave on the mountainside to rest.

The cave is not big, more than ten meters deep, and more than two meters high and wide.

"Crack!" A slight cracking sound came from under Gu Changqing's feet.

Gu Changqing raised his feet and looked at it. There was a layer of dust on the ground. Shi Qiu reached out and a stream of water washed away the dust, revealing the crushed bone fragments underneath.

Xu Jin picked up a few pieces and took a look at them and said, "It looks like they were leftovers eaten by wild beasts. There used to be wild beasts here."

"Isn't this natural? After all, there are people in this world!" Gu Changqing said nonchalantly.

At least they look human.

Xu Jin collected some broken bones into a pocket, and then everyone began to rest.

Shi Qiu also brought a small pot, poured some water into it and boiled it. Each person had a bowl filled with compressed food and canned beef to eat.

After eating, a few people started to rest.

Gu Changqing first took out the Turtle Snake Bagua Lamp and rubbed it. The scene just now knocked out more than half of the spiritual energy stored in the Turtle Snake Bagua Lamp.

He filled it with more than 70 spiritual stones. Until the spiritual energy was replenished, he put away the Turtle Snake Bagua Lamp and closed his eyes, immersing all his mind in his body. Bones, muscles, and blood vessels were all in his mind. clear and distinct.

After a while, Gu Changqing rotated the spiritual energy in his body to form a spiritual core. When he looked inside the body through the spiritual core, he saw chaos with countless stars dotted in it.

This is the method for finding acupuncture points in the body recorded in the "Method of Refining Gods with Flesh and Blood".

Gu Changqing searched for the acupoints through his spiritual core, and passed by star points, feeling as if he was traveling in the starry sky.

After an unknown amount of time passed, I heard the patter of rain outside and another exclamation. Then I stopped searching for the acupoints, dispersed my spiritual core, and slowly opened my eyes.

"What's the fuss about?" Gu Changqing said angrily, seeing several other people gathered around.

"There is something in the rain!" Shi Qiu shouted.

Gu Changqing stood up and walked over. The others stepped aside and saw a water balloon with a diameter of [-] centimeters floating in Shi Qiu's hand.

"This is the rain outside. There are bugs in the rain! And there are a lot of them..." Shi Qiu frowned and handed Gu Changqing a [-]x magnifying glass with a flashlight.

Gu Changqing took the lens and walked over. He could see something turbid in the water with his eyes. When he looked closer, he saw gray-white filaments in the water.

Then Gu Changqing used a magnifying glass to look at it, and immediately saw clearly the appearance of the gray-white filaments. They were slender worms that were trembling slightly, with tentacles swaying gently on their heads.

In this mass of water, countless such bugs accumulate together, so the rainwater looks a bit turbid.

Even someone like Gu Changqing, who doesn't really hate bugs, felt a little numb at this moment.

"Fuck, what the hell is this?"

"There is something in every drop of rain..." Shi Qiu looked at the rain curtain outside the cave with lingering fear.

If they hadn't found a cave to rest and encountered this rain outside, who knows what would have happened.

You must know that they know too little about this place, and judging from previous explorations, this world is full of weird things.

Whether it was that town or the two missing awakeners.

Gu Changqing raised his hand and a ball of blood hell mixed into the water, and then spread directly inside, dyeing the water all red.

Then he saw that the bugs in the water were gradually being corroded by the blood prison, and he felt relieved.

With a wave of his hand, the blood that dyed the water ball red came to life and flew back to his hand. The water ball returned to its previous appearance and became much clearer.

Others also took magnifying glasses and saw that all the bugs in the water had disappeared, and they relaxed a little.

As long as there is a solution.

Shi Qiu threw the water polo away and moved towards the outside of the cave. A water ribbon flew in and became a water polo again. Then she dropped a few drops of blood into it, and the bugs immediately came to life and swarmed towards the drops of blood. , this scene made a few people a little creepy.

Gu Changqing didn't care. He had the Turtle Snake Bagua Lamp and the Blood Hell Body Protector, so he didn't need to worry at all.

"I wonder how the others are doing!" Wei Guojiang, who was wearing glasses, was a little worried. They were lucky enough to find a place to spend the night.

You must know that darkness and rain have little impact on the awakened. Other awakened beings encounter this kind of insect rain unpreparedly and don’t know what will happen.

"They should just wish for themselves!" Gu Changqing knew that this thing had no effect on him, so he stopped paying attention and went back inside to take a nap.

Others are not as relieved as he is, but there is no good solution.

Except for Shi Qiu who continued to study the bugs in the water, everyone else took the time to rest.

……

Early the next morning, after the rain stopped, Shi Qiu went out to check the water on the ground outside.

"No, those bugs are gone! I don't know if they got into the soil or something..."

"Then let's go!" Gu Changqing said directly, wrapping the blood prison around his shoes.Others also used their own methods, but after cautiously going out to check for a while, they found that there was no trace of the bugs in the vegetation or the water on the rocks, as if it was everyone's collective illusion before.

It seems that the surrounding area is safe, but everyone feels that it is even weirder here.

As a sharp whistle came from the distance, a cloud of red smoke exploded in the sky.

"It's a flare! Someone is in trouble!" Pei Yuntai frowned and said.

"It's too far! At least a few hundred miles..."

"Keep on going!" Gu Changqing took one look and said. The distance was so far that the day lilies would be cold by the time he got there, so he had no interest in rushing there.

If my guess is correct, this signal flare may be related to the rain last night.

Although traveling in the mountains has little impact on the awakened, the speed will inevitably be affected.

With the strength of everyone, they can travel at least [-] miles a day on the plains, and at most one-third of the speed in the mountains.

Fortunately, in the evening, everyone finally arrived at the edge of the mountain forest, and in front of them was endless plains and grasslands.

"There seems to be something to the west..." Xu Jin took out a telescope from his bag and looked into the distance. The area was mostly blocked by trees. After identifying it for a moment, he said:
"It seems like an abandoned ruin!"

"Go and have a look!" Gu Changqing said immediately. It only took 10 minutes for the group to rush there, but when they got closer, they discovered that it was an abandoned village.

All the houses had collapsed long ago, and there were broken wooden beams and pieces of wood everywhere, full of desolation and loneliness.

The rest of the stuff was rotten and disgraceful.With a gentle press of the hand, the wood as thick as an arm was cut off.

"Search to see if there is anything!" Gu Changqing tilted his head and motioned for others to search.

But after a while, everyone rushed back: "Judging from the scale, there should be about a hundred households here before, but now there is nothing, nothing, and there are no corpses."

"Then keep going."

Everyone hurried on again and encountered two more villages along the way. It was not until late at night that everyone stopped to rest.

They set off again the next morning, this time they only walked for an hour. They stopped not long after crossing a river.

I saw a city wall standing on the ground in the distance.

"Town! It's not the one recorded before!" Seeing this city wall, everyone suddenly became energetic.

The world is dead and silent. Although there are lush vegetation, there are no living creatures.After staying for a long time, everyone felt as if there was a stone pressing on their hearts.

But seeing the town is different. Whether there are people or other things here, everyone has some expectations in their hearts.

Gu Changqing looked at the town in the distance and grinned.

After two days of traveling, he finally came to the part that interested him the most. He smelled the food.

"Be careful!" Pei Yuntai reminded others.

"Let's go!" Gu Changqing laughed and went straight to the distant town.

"The wall of this town is about five miles long, which means it is about 25 square miles and has a population of [-] to [-]."

Gu Changqing said while moving.

He knew such ancient towns well.

After all, he really has experience.

However, others did not expect that Gu Changqing could come to these conclusions at a glance, and were a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Gu Changqing would know this knowledge.

After all, the impression he gives people... EMMM, is really a bit complicated.

As you get closer, you can see that the gate of the town is open. There are no soldiers guarding the gate, and there are no soldiers on the city wall. However, there is smoke rising from the city, and through the city gate, you can see many people walking on the streets.

Only a few people stopped at the gate of the city. They saw many people in ancient costumes walking and chatting in the city, and children running and playing on the streets. It was quiet and peaceful.

"Are these people?" Shi Qiu whispered.

"You'll find out when you go in!" Gu Changqing grinned, and two blood pythons swam out of his palms and climbed on his arms.

"In the exploration records, the people in the previous town turned into monsters at night. It was relatively safe during the day, but we can't be careless!" Pei Yuntai said.

Gu Changqing strode into the town. When several urchins saw this group of weird-looking people, they immediately gathered around them, but they did not dare to get close. They timidly said from a distance: "Who are you? You look so weird!" "

The tone was a bit weird, as if he was singing, and everyone could barely make out what the other person was saying.

Everyone stared into the eyes of those naughty boys, but there was innocence in them, and nothing unusual could be seen at all.

"It seems like it's really a human being?" Shi Qiu's voice was hesitant.

Gu Changqing swaggered in directly, looking around constantly. The architectural style was different from that in Daye, and the clothes were also quite different.

There is a main road entering from the city gate. After seeing Gu Changqing and his group, pedestrians on the street stepped aside to whisper.

"Who are these people?"

"Dressed up so weirdly?"

"Where did they come from?"
