Chapter 83 Ghost Town 7
The tavern is the outpost of this remote town, so Kerry's residence is equivalent to containing the ghost's throat from entering the town.

Ghosts are somewhere between reality and reality, walking through stones, walls or trees, no matter what, but a defensive wall has been built around the town by the former masters.

There is only one passage left for entry and exit.

After all, people in small towns also need to collect daily necessities and trade with the outside world.

As a result, this place has not only become a must-pass for people in the town, but also a gateway for ghosts to invade.

Originally, people could still guard the door to resist ghost attacks.

Later, because it was attacked several times by ghosts and resulted in numerous casualties, a tacit agreement was reached: each time the town would choose its own people to sacrifice to them.

Of course, you can also use mirrors.

The hunting (sacrifice) that used to happen once every month or two has now become one or two weeks, or even once a week.

As a result, there were fewer and fewer people. What was originally a city with tens of thousands of people turned into a small town with only a few thousand people.

In fact, it doesn't always rain here, but whenever the ghosts come out to hunt, it will rain.

It rains more than 20 days a month now, so naturally, these times are the time for ghost hunting.

...This is what Shu Xin learned in this short half-day.

The hut where Kerry lives is not far from the tavern. It is still a wooden house on stilts, much smaller than the tavern.

There were only two rooms above, and everything was leaking and wet, and moss had grown on the steps and corners.

The room was very simple, with a rough wooden bed, tables and stools with missing arms and legs. In addition to the leaky ceiling, there were also several big holes in the walls.

They should all be left behind when Kerry fought the ghost.

Shu Xin walked around, picked up local materials, found some relatively large wooden boards, and repaired the walls and roof.

If everything goes well, she may live here for a long time, and this will be her temporary residence.

She had only killed three relatively small and weak ghosts before. Even according to the most basic requirements of the staff, she still needed to kill two more to complete the task.

These two... Shu Xin felt that they were not so easy to kill.

So she needs to be prepared for a long battle.

It took a long time to repair the house and barely have a roof over it.

Shu Xin planned to take advantage of these two days to take a good rest... Just then, there was a noise outside.

When I opened the door, I saw a large number of men and women standing downstairs. Some of them were holding unknown food in their hands, and some were holding an indistinguishable piece of clothing.

It turned out that after the people in the tavern repaired the hole, they went home and told their families about the bounty hunter, and they all brought things to express their thanks.

And, they begged Shu Xin to stay here and protect them.

Shu Xin said that she would stay for a while and she would accept the food but not other things.

As for the coins, she would return them to the Hunter Guild after exchanging them.

She doesn't want to take other people's things for free, and she doesn't want others to use the word "guardian" to put her on the moral high ground.

So, one code equals one code.

In addition to leaving food, there is also some firewood.

Although it often rains here, except for the large wasteland in the middle that cannot be planted, the vegetation in the surrounding mountains is very abundant. When it doesn't rain, they go there to cut some wood and dry it, and then collect some fruits or what is called The rhizomes of gophers are used as food.

As for meat, only very powerful people in the town can occasionally hunt a wild deer or wild boar, and these animals are also mutated to varying degrees.

In fact, it is still easy for them to hunt when it doesn't rain, but it becomes very difficult when it rains, so meat is more precious now.When Shu Xin arrived at the tavern, she asked for two kilograms of barbecue for only one hundred silver coins. The price was indeed reaching the ceiling.

Shu Xin sent people away to sort out the things she had just received, and asked Susu to help her remember the types and quantities of these materials and the name of the person who sent them, so that she could pay for the silver coins when the time came.

Most of the things they eat are gophers, some big and small, the small ones are as big as a fist, and the big ones are as big as half a basket.

In addition to roasting and eating it directly, people here also grind it into pulp, dry it into powder, and make it into baked buns and pancakes, which are the staple food.

There are also some large and small fruits, most of which taste dry and slightly bitter.Even so, fruit is one of the most prized foods here, besides meat.

Shu Xin lit the firewood in a special fire pit and placed the gophers next to them to roast.

By the way, pour out the muddy water from your shoes and dry your clothes...

In just half a day, her clothes were dry and wet several times.

Now, it's completely dark outside, and it seems that the rain has stopped.

Shu Xin frowned slightly, didn't it mean that it would rain for at least several days at a time?And these days are the time for ghost hunting?

It has stopped now?

Is it? ...

Shu Xin thought of something, but there is no definite evidence yet, so she won't delve into it for the time being.

Now she was thinking of a livelihood for herself to establish here - hunting.

A kilogram of barbecue here costs fifty silver coins, and a wild boar weighs several hundred kilograms at least, so it's easy to sell it for several thousand silver coins.

And she also needs to travel around, collect more information, understand the situation here, and kill two birds with one stone.

After Shu Xin made a plan, Susu helped her guard at night. She had a good night's rest, ate something the next day and set off directly to the mountains in the distance.

The owner of the tavern brought the food himself, and when it was empty, he left the food at the door.

If it hadn't been for Shu Xin yesterday, his tavern would have been difficult to preserve, and he himself would have been in trouble.

Besides, Shu Xin was very fast now and her walking distance was astonishing. She arrived in less than an hour.

When Shu Xin stood under the high mountain peak, an indescribable energy quietly filled the air, which was completely different from the one around the small town.

Shu Xin thought about the question she had as soon as she entered the dungeon world: why was the large area of ​​land in the center barren and unable to be planted.

Combined with the lush greenness of the surrounding mountains, she seemed to have the answer in her mind at this moment——

magnetic field.

She looked back at the lonely town surrounded by a dilapidated wall, and one word came to her mind - circle.

captivity.

The ghost was so powerful that even she was defeated miserably. And for ordinary people who had no special abilities, the elusive ghost had an absolute advantage.

Logically speaking, it is no easier for such a powerful ghost to hunt down humans than to kill an ant, so why do they still make those hypocritical agreements full of loopholes?

For example, can the wall really limit the attacks of ghosts?
For example, if there is no rain, can ghosts really not be able to move freely?
The most reasonable explanation is, circle.

Just like humans raising piglets in captivity.

If the pigs are enclosed in an area, do you think a person can climb over the surrounding fence?Of course?

Shu Xin's heart became very heavy - once human beings lose their advantage as the favored ones of heaven and change their status with other species, they are not much higher than other species.
