"That's not because of this!" the old man frowned, "I'm not kidding you, I want to say that this method cannot destroy a race, because other races are in the same situation as him, or even have weaker hostile forces than them. We will never let this happen.”

"Huh?" Liu Ji raised his eyebrows, "This... makes sense."

After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold...

"So, the Shangxiang clan was not exterminated for this ridiculous reason," the old man said. "As for them being ostracized by all races just because of their eyes, it is even more nonsense. There are no races in the world that look weirder than them." There have been so many, but no one has been treated like them, and even the recognized racial name has become a derogatory term like 'sad prime minister'."

"What's that for?" Liu Ji asked.

"Because of this?" The old man pointed to the side with his thumb.

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment. He looked at the bloody broccoli below and said in shock, "Wait a minute, are you saying they raised these things?"

"I thought you should have figured it out a long time ago," the old man said, "Aren't the corpses buried under each blood mushroom the foreign wives and slaves they bought?"

"I..." Liu Ji was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, as the old man said, this possibility was the first thing he thought about.

But he quickly denied this possibility, because in his opinion, it was impossible for these weak villagers to raise these light blasting insects that were terrifying to ordinary people...

"You wonder how they did it, don't you?" the old man said.

"This..." Liu Ji looked at him, "Racial talent... or something like that?"

"In a sense, it's almost the same," the old man said, "but it's hard to call this a talent. Let's put it this way, the blood in these bugs is 'living'."

"Alive?" Liu Ji asked doubtfully, "Blood?"

"Yes, that blood is alive, it is blood that still has vitality. Even these bugs are still providing certain nutrients to the blood," the old man said. "As long as there is vitality in the blood, it can continuously produce magic power. , and these magic powers are the real food for these bugs."

"But..." the old man turned his head and continued, "There is no magic power in the blood of the Shangxiang clan. Their bodies have energy that is opposite to that of ordinary people. Generally, that energy is called a curse."

Liu Ji blinked, and he felt like he understood a little bit. To put it simply, the blood of these guys is unpalatable?

"Curse, or spell power," the old man continued, "Curse power and magic power are like two sides of a coin. Magic power is the front and curse power is the back side. Magic power is active and can be driven, created, and changed. But the curse is an empty and empty negative pole. It cannot be driven or used. The so-called curse actually relies on magic to create an environment where the curse is generated to achieve the effect of the curse. The curse itself is like a void of nothingness. , it will only instinctively devour everything, so you can probably understand?"

Liu Ji blinked, rubbed his chin, and said uncertainly: "Big, maybe?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know that this kind of magical blood brings two characteristics to the Shangxiang tribe that are different from other races," the old man said. "First of all, they can't use magic. Even if Even after learning the spell, they can't accumulate magic power. Secondly, all things that feed on magic power are not interested in them."

"This has caused two results," the old man said. "First of all, their race does not have arcanists, so it is difficult for them to build decent cities and factories on their own. Moreover, without the blessing of magic power, they cannot produce strong warriors. This leads to their The race has always been weak and has even been enslaved by other races in some areas for a long time."

"This situation lasted for a long time, until one day, a Shang Xiang clan accidentally got a blood bee." The old man paused and continued, "You should have discovered that the blood mushroom will produce golden bees. Particles.”

"Well," Liu Ji nodded, "What is that?"

"Gold," said the old man, "real gold."

"This..." Liu Ji was stunned. He was about to say it was unscientific, but then he suddenly realized that this world seemed to be unscientific to begin with.

"Using other races as nourishment, raising blood bees and blood mushrooms to produce gold, the Shangxiang tribe once became the richest race in the world," the old man said. "However, as their breeding scale continues to expand, the things behind this In the end, we were discovered by our seniors.”

"Then you reached a cooperation?" Liu Ji frowned.

"Ah?" The old man was stunned, "How do you know?"

"After all, you are the only one in the world who knows the truth," Liu Ji said with a subtle expression, "Let me guess, you should cooperate with them while giving them a wave of righteous backstabbing for 'justice' And then made them?"

The old man looked at Liu Ji, blinked, then looked at the sky. After two seconds, he looked at Liu Ji again and said, "Well, how can I put it, there is still something different..."

"So it's basically the same?" Liu Ji asked.

The old man was silent for a moment and said: "Anyway! In such a large land of blood mushrooms, we cannot allow them to grow endlessly. Now the world here has begun to be attacked by tyrants. If we leave it alone, these things will soon If it flies out one day, it is likely to pose a great threat to those surviving in the wild, and we cannot let this happen."

"Ah, yes, in principle, you still care about the world," Liu Ji's brows jumped wildly, "So when you tell me so much, do you plan to ask me to do something?"

"Of course, I don't have enough time to chat with you," the old man said. "I need you to go down and help me act as a bait to attract the attention of these things while I chant."

"Can I not go?" Liu Ji asked.

"You don't have to go, then I can only take my time and kill them bit by bit," the old man said, "but there may be a lot of bugs running out, but I don't know if the little girl above is dealing with the bugs. I have experience. If you accidentally suffer a loss because you have never seen it before, one of these things can kill you..."

Liu Ji frowned and looked into the eyes of the old man.

He always felt that what this cunning old fox was thinking was definitely not as simple as what he said.

But, the current situation...

"No, I still have to go up first," Liu Ji said, "How do I know if you are reliable, let alone whether these things will be as obedient as you think? I at least have to remind them to be prepared. .”

"No, I don't think you actually need to..." The old man wanted to say something else.

But Liu Ji seemed to have made up his mind and had no intention of continuing to talk to him. He transformed into the earth element and dived into the rock formations on the ceiling.

Looking at the place where Liu Ji's figure disappeared, the old man frowned.

"This kid is really difficult to deal with..."

He muttered, raised his right hand, looked at the ring on his index finger, and rubbed it gently.

"Tsk, it's really troublesome. We can only think about it in the long run."

Meanwhile, inside the village.

Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked into the shadow of the house nearby.

He narrowed his eyes, a little confused.

He always felt that something seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

However, he had not noticed anything there before...

"It's weird, is it an illusion?" Yuan muttered with a frown, then turned to look in front of him.

In front of the camp, a group of villagers were gathered around, whispering and discussing.

About ten minutes ago, these guys suddenly came over and surrounded the place. They didn't say anything or made any move. They just kept surrounding. They didn't know what they were doing, or they were waiting for something.

Not only that, Yuan could also feel that the group of uninvited guests outside the village seemed to be getting ready to move.

"A storm is coming..." Yuan An thought, and inadvertently put his hand on the hilt of the sword. Grandpa is not here, and the brothers have not grown up yet. Now he is the backbone of the family. If anything happens, it depends on him. He did.

At this moment, suddenly, an old villager and several strong men walked out of the crowd on the side.

He walked straight up to Yuan, gave him a slight salute, and then said something he didn't understand.

Yuan frowned and turned to look into the tent.

Not long after, Yayin came out, frowned and asked, "Sorry, what you just said, I was inside and didn't hear it."

"Ah, that's right," the old villager said with a smile, "We need to hold a festival in the square, and your things are sold out, so why don't you please leave first and give us your place?"

"Well..." Yayin touched her chin and said, "No, sorry, we don't plan to leave yet, so..."

Yayin said, paused her wand, and whispered a spell in her mouth. Several stone pillars immediately rose from all directions and gathered several meters above the ground to build a rock altar.

"Well, now you can go up to hold the ceremony, and leave us alone," Yayin said, without giving the old villager a chance to continue talking, and turned around and walked back to the camp.

142. It makes sense to use two-in-one to make your fists turn. This is called boxing.

Liu Ji was a little confused.

As soon as he returned to the surface, he saw an incomparable sight.

A group of villagers held a variety of rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves high in the air, exhaling the fragrance while frantically outputting towards Yayin's tent.

However, there seemed to be a transparent barrier surrounding the tent. After the garbage was thrown onto the barrier, it all bounced back in the air, blurring their own faces.

But the strange thing is that these guys don't know if they are anxious or something. Even so, they still maintain high-intensity output, and they have a posture of trying to drive them away even if they are wearing yellow and green slime battle suits.

At first, Liu Ji thought they had been brainwashed by something and lost their minds. But after looking at the bucket of excrement placed next to them that no one dared to splash, Liu Ji knew that these people still had basic sanity.

Within the barrier, Yuan and his brothers guarded the camp, but they probably couldn't understand what the villagers were cursing like he did. The way they looked at these villagers looked like they were watching a zoo show.

Liu Ji turned into a line of quicksand and quietly slipped through the gaps in the crowd.

As usual, the barrier arranged by Ya Yin set up a green channel for him, and Liu Ji entered the barrier without any hindrance.

He didn't show his body directly, but just used his blood connection to say hello to Yuan and the other potato brats, and then went straight into the tent nearby.

"You're back?" Yayin asked casually while adjusting the magic array, "How is the situation? Has anyone been rescued?"

Liu Ji was slightly stunned after hearing this.

Only then did he remember that he seemed to be going to save someone.

"No, it hasn't been saved yet," Liu Ji said, "It's not easy to save either. It should be the insect feed prepared by these people. If they simply let the person go, they will probably find someone else."

"Insect feed?" Yayin asked doubtfully.

"Well, worm feed," Liu Ji nodded, "I followed them into a bungalow, and then..."

It took a few minutes for Liu Ji to explain clearly to Yayin what happened along the way and the situation underground.

Looking at the golden particles and black fragments that Liu Ji took out, Yayin pondered for a moment and said, "So, what are your thoughts now?"

"Just slip away," Liu Ji said, "That bad old man is very bad. Just let him deal with the pile of mushrooms and flies down there. Let's teleport away quickly."

"This...but this teleportation array," Yayin hesitated to speak.

"I know, you need blood," Liu Ji said.

"Huh?" Yayin was stunned, "This...that person told you?"

"Well," Liu Ji nodded, "Don't worry, I have no objection. It's better to say... If we want to liberate these wife slaves in this village, we can only kill them all."

"But you should know that almost all of them have disabilities," Yayin said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If they stay here, they will just become feed for those bugs," Liu Ji said. "The only thing we can do is give them a chance to survive."

"Really..." Yayin sighed softly, "Okay, the final debugging of the magic array is not over yet. It will take about 10 minutes. During this time, I will trouble you to guard the door..."

"Guarding those villagers?" Liu Ji was a little confused, "Isn't it necessary? I feel like they can't even enter the boundary?"

"No, it's not them," Yayin said. "There is a group of people outside who have been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time..."

----

----

Outside the village, a group of men wearing various armors and holding various weapons were looking into the village.

In front of the main entrance of the village, a rather short and thin man was standing there, looking at the village with an indifferent expression, as if he was waiting for something.

Not long after, an elderly villager came over with several strong men.

The old villager looked at the short man, frowned and said, "Hero, we should have already negotiated, right? According to the agreement, you cannot enter our village."

"Of course, so we didn't go in?" the short man said with a smile, "But you should fulfill your agreement, right? If you don't let this caravan with gold come out, brothers will I can’t wait for you so much.”

"No, who said we won't let them leave," the old villager said, "You know very well that we will never let them stay..."

"I'm just afraid that you won't be able to drive them away," the short man interrupted the old villager, "Uncle, how much do you guys with white eyes have on your hands? Brothers know very well. You should know that if If you really delay the feeding period and fail to properly dispose of this gold, even you will still be killed by these blood bees!"

"Of course we understand," said the old villager, "so we are working hard..."

"That's not called hard work, that's called wasted effort," the short man sneered, "I advise you to get out of the way. Some things have to be done by professionals, and..."

The man said, taking a step forward and stepping directly into the village.

"The reason why you came to talk to us..." the man said with a smile, "isn't it because you want us to come in and help?"

The old villager glanced at him, let out a long sigh, turned around, and got out of the way.

"Okay, brothers, it's time to get to work," the man said with a smile, "Please mind your own hands and feet. We have come to the village to do business, so don't have any evil thoughts... Well, try not to move. .”

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter.

The old villagers looked at them, gritted their teeth, and hurriedly walked towards the crowd in three steps and two steps at a time, shouting at them to go home quickly.

The villagers were reluctant at first, but when they turned around to see the people coming outside, they screamed in fright and fled in all directions after a while.

When the people in the team saw this, they burst into laughter again. Many people could be seen wandering out of the team, wandering towards the village in groups, not knowing what they were going to do.

The leading man obviously didn't want to care. He staggered on the road and whistled at the panicked villagers from time to time, looking very relaxed.

Accompanied by bursts of noise, the group of people walked all the way to the tent of Liu Ji and others.

Yuan and his little brothers were sitting together, wearing black robes and hoods. If it weren't for the fact that the boys were generally less than 1.2 meters tall, they would probably still have some aura.

However, there seemed to be only seven of them, but hundreds of people came in from the opposite side, and there were even hundreds of people surrounding the village.
