The weird game of the ancient gods

Xia Yu followed the village chief to the mill of Black Stone Village. In the open space outside the mill, a slightly decomposed corpse was lying there, covered with a linen shroud, exuding corpse odor.

"It's this corpse. You have to bury it quickly. It will stink if you put it down. There is also the stranger's corpse on the fire. Send them away together when the fire goes out. We must get it done before dark. , I don’t want to see dead bodies in the village at night.”

"I am willing to serve you, Mr. Village Chief." Xia Yu took off his hat and greeted him.

Although having weird skills would make it less likely for the villagers to suspect him, Xia Yu still felt that there was nothing wrong with being cautious. It was all about acting, and besides, it was always right to have a good relationship with the village chief.

"But I have to go back and get my tools before I can start working."

"Of course, then I'll leave this place to you."

After bidding farewell to the village chief, Xia Yu walked towards where he lived.

Turning on the watch on his hand, he called up the game map. The location of his residence had been marked on the map. It was near the cemetery outside the village. The cemetery was not far from the village, surrounded by thorn bushes and lined with stone monuments. and the cross tell the history of Blackstone Village. Blackstone Village is small, but the cemetery is not small. Just looking at the number of tombstones, there are probably more than a hundred corpses buried here.

Xia Yu's residence is in a small stone house at the end of the cemetery. I don't know whether it is because of the bad weather or some other reason. The entire cemetery looks gloomy, and the messy grass is filled with a faint mist. The sunlight penetrated the fog, revealing a gloomy feeling, a very ominous atmosphere. However, walking in this gloomy cemetery, Xia Yu not only did not feel uneasy, but also felt an inexplicable sense of ease.

It wasn't until he reached the door of the stone house that Xia Yu realized that it was probably because he was a vampire.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Yu took the time to move his body, jumping, trotting, and even doing a flying kick. He gradually mastered the properties of this body. The vampire's physical fitness was obviously much stronger than that of ordinary people, and his movements were extremely light. The speed is even more astonishing, but it's not so strong that it can match ordinary people.

Xia Yu felt that this was probably because of the daytime. The sunlight shining on his body would not burn him to ashes, but he would feel somewhat weak. He should wait until night to transform and try again. As for now, he would still do it. Life matters.

Xia Yu pushed open the door of the stone house. The furnishings in the house were very simple, including a coffin, a grave shovel, a wooden bed, a trolley, a pile of processed wooden boards, and some scattered household items. It seemed that As a gravedigger, I also work part-time as a coffin maker.

Xia Yu pushed up the cart, put a roll of shroud on it, and walked towards the village. When he came to the square, the players had dispersed, and he randomly wrapped the charred corpse with the shroud. After wrapping it up, he put it on the wheelbarrow. Then he went to the mill to load Old Jack's body, and then pushed the wheelbarrow all the way back to the cemetery.

The next step is to dig a pit. This job is not as simple as Xia Yu imagined. The tomb must be dug very deep, at least two meters. The scarlet valley is full of wild beasts. If it is buried shallowly, it will be very difficult. It is easy to be dug out by wild animals, and it will be ugly when the bones are scattered all over the ground.

Two meters long, one and a half meters wide, and two meters deep. It really takes a while to build two such big pits.

Xia Yu picked up the treasure and started digging. Just as he had dug the first hole, subtle footsteps sounded in the direction of the entrance to the cemetery. Xia Yu looked up warily and saw that it was a black cat.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yu was wary, but a friendly smile appeared on his face.

Black Cat said: "I heard that there is a corpse of a victim here, so I came to take a look. I think there may be some clues from the corpse."

Xia Yuxin said that this black cat was really professional and would investigate everything.

He pointed to Old Jack's body, "It's over there, see for yourself."

Black Cat went over to check it out, and suddenly screamed - "Hey!"

"What's wrong?"

"Come on, I found some clues." Xia Yuxin said that there was nothing interesting about the corpse, but he still crawled out of the pit and looked in the direction of the black cat's finger. There was a huge bite mark on Old Jack's neck. A large piece of flesh and blood was torn off, and it was bloody and disgusting.

This black cat was so courageous. He showed no fear at all. He kept poking at Old Jack's wounds with a dead branch.

Xia Yu said: "It looks like it was bitten by some kind of wild beast."

The black cat shook his head: "It's not a beast. If it were a beast, it would definitely eat the body, at least part of it. I think it should be a werewolf. The village said that old Jack was killed two days ago. You know what this means. What are you wearing?"

Xia Yu's heart moved and he realized that the players had only entered the game today, and this corpse died two days ago. In other words, in addition to the three dark creatures of the players, there were probably other dark creatures in the village. A dark creature exists, and it looks like it's probably a werewolf.

"You mean there are dark creatures among NPCs?"

"Yes, since there are NPC villagers, it is not impossible that there are NPC dark creatures. Of course, it is also possible that in the background setting, this person was bitten to death by the dark creature played by the player. If that is the case, it means that there is a werewolf among the players. , in short, I think this is worth investigating. If there are really werewolves in the village, there will definitely be some clues."

After saying that, the black cat left happily.

Xia Yu looked at Black Cat's leaving back and touched his chin. No, this girl can't stay. Investigating around like this will sooner or later be a disaster. Sorry Black Cat, you have to die too.

But there's no need to rush into action just yet, let's see what she can investigate and deal with first.

Xia Yu thought, turned around and continued digging the hole.

It took a full hour of digging to dig a hole.

Xia Yu found a few wooden boards from the stone house, banged them, and soon knocked out a simple coffin, and threw Old Jack's body in. He didn't forget to use the method on Old Jack's body before nailing the lid. The skill of 'picking up corpses'.

System prompt: You have obtained smelly leather boots.

[Smelly leather boots (equipment)

Item description: A pair of cowhide boots, well made, but for some reason, they are tainted with the smell of corpse, which is disgusting. 】

It's rubbish. Although it can be worn, there is no need for him to be so picky as a gravedigger, but Xia Yu feels that he has not fallen to that level yet, so he should give it to the villagers later to increase their favor.

Then Xia Yu used the 'corpse picking' skill on the foreigner's corpse.

System prompt: You have obtained a black gem.

【Black gem (material)

Item introduction: A black gemstone produced in Blackstone Village. This gemstone is of excellent quality and is a rare treasure. 】

This gem should have been hidden by the foreigner when he was alive. It is about the size of a pigeon egg, dark, and looks quite good. It is a good thing, but it is of no use. There is no way to bring it back to reality, but it can be a selling point. Money, but it doesn’t seem to be worth much in this village, so let’s keep it for now.

Xia Yu put the gem into his pocket, thinking that his skills as a corpse picker were really useful. There would only be more and more dead people in the village, and maybe he would be able to find something good some time.

He dug another pit for the stranger, nailed a coffin in the same way, threw the body in, nailed the lid, and buried it in the pit.

The two bodies were buried quickly.

Xia Yu leveled the ground and made a simple tombstone out of two wooden boards. One said "Poor Old Jack's Tomb" and the other wrote "Despicable Foreigner's Tomb".

Once everything is done, today's work is completed.

Xia Yu wiped the sweat instinctively, but found that not a drop of sweat came out on his forehead. This vampire's physical strength is really strong. After working for such a long time, he didn't feel tired at all, and he was still full of energy.

The only problem is that I seem a little hungry.

Xia Yu wondered whether the vampire could eat anything. When he returned to the stone house, he opened the mysterious coffin.

The contents inside left Xia Yu speechless. A large number of copper coins of different denominations, a small amount of silver coins, some old jewelry that looked cheap at first glance, some shabby clothes, some even stained with dried blood, several old money bags, inside They were all shriveled, and it seemed that they had been picked up from dead bodies in the past.

Xia Yu swept aside all the useless ones and picked out only the coins. There were a total of thirteen silver coins and 74 copper coins.

Looking at the money, Xia Yu became interested and took it to buy some food and two weapons. Although vampires are powerful in combat, they cannot transform during the day, so they still need weapons for self-defense. The prodigal son was right, Who says that dark creatures have to wait until night to attack them? You can attack them if you have a good opportunity during the day.

Moreover, getting two weapons can also confuse other players. Otherwise, it would be too suspicious to not even get weapons.

Xia Yu came to the village and entered the tavern first. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bai Ye carrying food on a plate to two miners. This woman's occupation turned out to be a waitress. I don't know what he thought.

Xia Yu said hello to Bai Ye and bought a piece of black bread and a bottle of wine.

Then he came to the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith here turned out to be a dragon knight, wielding a hammer and hammering a two-handed heavy sword that was about to take shape.

"Hey, Longqi, your profession is a blacksmith?"

Dragon Rider said proudly, "Yes, the blacksmith profession comes with forging skills and can make equipment. Hey, how about it, do you need my help? For the sake of our past friendship, I can give you a 20% discount."

Xia Yu nodded, "Okay, I want two daggers, longer and made of steel. How much do they cost?"

"Ten silver coins, for the sake of my friends, you can just give me eight."
