Abyss invasion? As a demon cultivator, I laughed.

The ritual progress has increased!

Seeing this scene, Chai San couldn't help but said angrily: "What did I say earlier? This young man must be related to the ceremony!"

Zhou Juncai curled his lips: "We are not prophets, how could we know in advance? Besides, it is only 5%. This should be just a hint given to us by the abyss."

Chai San snorted coldly and refused to argue with him.

As the pile of licorice burned out, the onlookers dispersed.

However, they did not just sleep. Instead, some returned to their houses and lit oil lamps, and some went to the pub in the village. They talked and laughed. No one talked about what happened just now, as if the young man who died tragically was just The little things in daily life.

This weird atmosphere put an uneasy look on everyone's faces.

"Outsiders."

At this time, the man in black armor walked up to everyone with a team of guards.

"No outsiders have come here for a long time, and we don't welcome outsiders. Please leave immediately."

He looked unkind, and stared at Chai San with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, obviously dissatisfied with his previous behavior of blocking him.

"Sir, I apologize for my companion's behavior just now. We have no intention of interfering with your actions." Zhou Juncai smiled and stepped forward, "It's just that it's getting late now. Can you allow us to stay overnight and leave tomorrow?"

The man in black armor looked at him steadily, glanced at the others, and said, "The five-story building over there is Murakami's tavern. You can stay there and leave immediately at dawn tomorrow. Let me warn you again, if any of you dare to cause trouble during this period, I will never let you go."

"Yes, thank you, sir." Zhou Juncai smiled apologetically.

After the black-armored man left, he turned around, glared at Chai San complainingly, and became rude in his words: "Chai San, we are a collective and have common interests. Can you stop acting privately? Look? Looking at the good things you have done, now the whole village is wary of us, how can we find out the news? "

"Also, you got into trouble, but in the end you asked me to make amends for you. Do you think it's appropriate?"

After he finished speaking, many people looked at Chai San with unkind eyes.

Feeling the cold looks from others, Chai San seemed a little disheartened and did not explain too much. He just shook his head and said: "Twenty years of gold mining career has taught me one thing. If you ignore other people's lives, one day You will also be isolated when you need help.”

"The world in the trial is a fragment of the real world. They cannot be viewed as data in the dungeon."

"Ha." Zhou Juncai smiled disdainfully and said no more.

Chu Xiu watched with cold eyes and felt a little pressure.

"This dungeon is definitely not one that can be easily cleared."

Just now, Chu Xiu glanced at it with his Youmo Pupils. He saw that the man in black armor was a soldier with a lot of question marks, and the other guards were between level 6 and level 9 of mortals. Because of their good equipment, they would More difficult to deal with than monsters of the same level.

In a head-on conflict, if Chu Xiu is not included, the trialists will definitely not be able to take advantage.

Not to mention that the team has now fallen apart, and everyone has their own agenda.

"And the combat power of this town is definitely more than that. Before the specific circumstances of the ceremony are clear, it is too risky to directly kill and clear the level!"

"It's better to figure out the [rules] of this dungeon as Jiang Xue said."

After the boy was burned to death, the progress of the ceremony increased, which made many conjectures pop up in Chu Xiu's mind in an instant.

"Death? Fire? Sacrifice?"

"To determine which one it is, more information is needed."

Chu Xiu thought to himself.

"As of now, we should follow the original plan and get some information from the villagers first."

While he was thinking, Zhou Juncai suggested.

No one objected, and everyone entered the tavern. At this time, many villagers were drinking inside.

However, everyone had offended the villagers before, so after entering the tavern, no one greeted them at all. Several trialists tried to inquire about the ritual from the villagers, but they only received blank looks.

The villagers here seem to be very united and extremely xenophobic.

Seeing this scene, Chai San said: "You guys are still not experienced enough."

As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and a gold coin appeared in his hand.

The moment the gold coins appeared, the nearby villagers all looked over.

Chai San smiled proudly and handed the gold coin to the tavern owner: "Boss, I want to ask you something."

The boss was a bald middle-aged man. He looked at the gold coins intently for a while, and then grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.

"Luna, serve our guests something to eat."

Not long after the words were spoken, a little girl ran over carrying a dark iron bowl with a piece of pork chop inside, still "sizzling" and smelling fragrant.

Chai San glanced at it and said, "I'm not hungry. Let's give this to other guests. I just want to ask you something."

However, the boss seemed not to hear, and just said with a weird smile on his face: "Guest, my Luna is very tired from lifting."

Chai San turned to look at the little girl, who gave him an innocent smile and raised the pork chop in his hand higher, his arms shaking slightly.

Seeing this, Chai San also softened his heart and took the iron bowl: "Boss, you can do it now!"

He suddenly let out a scream, let go of his hand, and the iron bowl fell heavily to the ground, and his hand holding the iron bowl was burned red!

Then everyone realized that the little girl's hands were covered with scars from knife wounds and burns. The fingers that had just held the bowl were bloody and some flesh was stuck to the bowl, emitting a burnt smell!

After seeing Chai San being burned, she ran out of the door laughing as if she had succeeded in a prank. The guests and the owner of the tavern also laughed "hehehe".

"You guys." Chai San covered his hands with anger.

This weird scene made the scalps of all the trial participants numb. Zhou Juncai drew out the long knife from his waist and pointed it directly at the tavern owner: "What the hell do you mean!"

The tavern owner showed a horrified expression, squatted down with his head in his hands, and shouted: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

His expression was extremely exaggerated, like a clown trying his best to perform.

This made Zhou Juncai look extremely ugly: "These guys are playing tricks on us! Fuck!"

At this moment, another panel popped up.

[Current ritual progress: 8%]

"The ritual progress has increased again!"

Everyone's face darkened.

If the previous increase in the ritual progress may be due to the death of the teenager, but what is it now? Because Chai San was burned? Or, as long as time passes, the ritual progress will increase?

Even Chu Xiu's face was slightly condensed, and a fierce look flashed in his black eyes.

"We can't delay it any longer! We have to take some extreme measures!"

"Kidnapping, coercion, coercion, and even torture!"

The mission time limit is only three hours, there is no time for them to explore slowly, and the people in this village are very abnormal and can't communicate normally. No special means are needed!

Chu Xiu's eyes swept over the people in the tavern one by one. There was a father with a child and a husband with his wife. These were all good targets for threats.

But in the end, he rejected them all.

It wasn't that he was kindhearted, but -

"If we must tear our faces apart, then we will definitely choose the elite class for the highest benefit. If we attack these ordinary villagers here, not only will the benefits be less than expected, but it is also more likely to arouse the vigilance of the village's rulers."

Just as he was secretly thinking about how to bypass the defense force and find the village's rulers, there was a crisp sound of a wine glass breaking, and then a woman screamed in fear!

Chu Xiu looked up, but found that the cold-faced young man Wu Xiujie suddenly grabbed a little girl's hair, and with his other hand, a gleaming dagger was placed on the little girl's neck!

The girl screamed in fear, and the father of the little girl opposite stood up in panic.

Wu Xiujie shouted: "What is Az Ilituya Mugos? Why did you burn the boy to death before?"

"Speak!"
