The villagers' eyes were greedy, hungry, and filled with a sticky appetite for her flesh and blood, which made people feel like thorns on their backs and made their whole body tense up involuntarily.
Jiang Yao can handle one villager, two can barely handle it, but three will have some difficulty.
She was worried that the commotion would attract all the nearby villagers, and that she would be attacked from both sides and find it difficult to deal with it.
Besides, she didn't plan to waste too much time here to finish offering the incense to the female ghost Ye Xiaolan. She would gather with A Donghe Lianyin and the others as soon as possible and rush to Yinlin Mountain to find Granny Wushan to break the curse.
"Ho ho..."
The villagers kicked the ground violently and rushed over in one stride.
Like a crazed zombie, smelling the smell of blood emanating from her body, foul-smelling black saliva kept flowing from her mouth.
The space in this room where debris was piled was cramped and it was very inconvenient to move around. They could barely avoid it by turning to one side, and the villagers bumped into the log wall, making a loud bang, and the closed windows collided with each other and made a clanging sound.
Through the rain and fog, she could hear the villagers running over after hearing the noise, and the sounds of footsteps.
Jiang Yao kicked away the villagers who rushed over again and raised his eyelids.
The iron cages that were hung in the air and covered with gray cloth were knocked against the wall by the villagers. The gray cloth opened a hole, and through the light seeping through the window, the people inside could be vaguely seen.
The body was mutilated, and he was forced to breathe. His breath was weak, his face was gray, and there was a sense of death.
Their bodies, arms and legs were cut off to prevent blood loss, and the flesh was tied tightly with coarse cloth.
Some are still alive, and some have long since died. The corpses are rotting and smelly, and there is so little meat that even maggots are not growing.
'哐哐——'
Doors were knocked open, and dense footsteps gradually approached.
Jiang Yao heard that all nearby villagers were attracted, looked away, pushed open the wooden window, and jumped out.
When they were in a hurry to enter the house, she jumped from the third floor and ran quickly to the broken house.
The ploy works.
There were no obstacles along the way and we returned to the broken house smoothly.
Ye Xiaolan's condition got even worse, she was hiding in the shadows and might disappear at any time. Jiang Yao started the fire three times and burned incense to worship.
Several incense sticks were damp and couldn't be lit, so she lit them first. When the incense quickly poured into Ye Xiaolan's spirit body, Jiang Yao sat down on the ground and exhaled.
She took this time to quickly collect her thoughts.
When she and Helianyin climbed up to the outside of the arched keel of the village, the villagers noticed it almost as soon as they arrived and shouted something.
'Invasion of soldiers and enemy spies'
Without seeing them clearly and without confirming their identities, they were identified as soldiers and enemy spies——
I am afraid that before this Dragon Burial Village became a strange place, soldiers entered the village and killed people.
That's why they regard all outsiders who are close to the village as soldiers.
According to Ye Xiaolan's words, outside the Burial Dragon Village, there are constant wars and wars, and dead people often flow from the upper reaches of the Black River to the lower reaches.
The villagers shouted at the soldiers, but their malice was stronger than hostility.
There are several very important issues facing us at present.
First, why can’t we eat fish from the Black River and weeds from the Yinlin Mountains?
Second, why are the villagers so malicious towards the soldiers?
Third, who is Granny Wushan?
At present, it is difficult to find useful clues if they stay in Burial Dragon Village any longer. The evil curse on the three of them has become an urgent matter, and they must set off to find Granny Wushan.
Jiang Yao thought about this and asked Ye Xiaolan: "Do you want to go to Yinlin Mountain with me?"
Ye Xiaolan is an important figure in the Strange Realm. Maybe she knows Granny Wushan but just forgot.
"I can't get out."
It’s not that I can’t get out, it’s that I can’t get out.
Ye Xiaolan's spirit body is imprisoned in this broken house. Not far from the house, the spirit body will return here again.
Jiang Yao thought for a moment after hearing this.
She had read some information about the ghost in the player forum. If the ghost cannot leave a place, it means that she died here during her lifetime and became an earthbound spirit.
Or maybe the spirit body is bound by a certain item and cannot stay too far away from such an item.
Jiang Yao searched around the house. There were old tables and chairs, the bluestone tiles on the floor were not sealed, the walls were cracked, and there were thick spider silks growing on the corners. Other than that, there was nothing else.
"Okay, then you wait for me here, I will come back."
Before leaving, she lit all the incense. It took some time to light the incense. After burning the incense, she saw that her spirit body was getting more and more solid, so she got up and went out.
When Ye Xiaolan walked to the door, she suddenly stopped her.
"Just now when you went to help me find incense, I had a dream."
Jiang Yao paused and looked back at her.
When Ye Xiaolan thought of that dream, her breath suddenly suffocated. She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak.
"It was a big man as tall as the house. I dreamed that he was killing people. There was a lot of blood. There was a lot of blood on the ground..."
Jiang Yao frowned as he listened.
As high as the house? He is two to three meters tall. During the war years, every family was poor and impoverished, and children were always malnourished. They were generally short in stature, and tall people were especially rare.
The dream contained no other useful clues.
Since she entered the village, she has not seen any of the giant villagers in Ye Xiaolan's dream.
Say goodbye to Ye Xiaolan.
Dusk falls.
The entire village fell into a deathly silence, not a single sound could be heard, and the villagers who were looking for them were all gone, and they were completely empty.
The rain was still falling and the air was humid. After a while, a few raindrops gathered on Jiang Yao's eyelashes and rolled down in the blink of an eye. His vision was soaked in the rain and a little blurry.
Jiang Yao quickened his pace and returned to the deserted house before dark.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw A Dong passed out on the ground, his pale face covered with thin green threads, and horns as long as fingernails sprouted from his forehead.
A Dong ate too many wild vegetables and mushrooms, and the evil curse spread even more seriously than her.
Helianyin was nowhere to be seen in the room, so he guessed that she was hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to come back.
Jiang Yao didn't have time to wait for her to come back, so he had to leave a line of words on the ground to tell her where they were going.
Jiang Yao was not worried about Helianyin.
After experiencing the mysterious realm of "Death Train", Helianyin's physique was verified. Even the blood worm eggs were unable to do anything to her. At least her evil curse did not spread quickly and she could persist for several days. Maybe it was the same as the blood worm eggs. She would be forced to death.
Jiang Yao carried A Dong on his back, dragged the headless body of the sheep-headed man, lit the last oil lamp, and headed to the location of the thirteenth keel.
The first to third keels span the Heihe River and serve as a bridge for villagers to travel from one end of the river to the other.
The fourth to tenth dragon bones were used as fences by the villagers of Burial Dragon Village and were firmly erected on the periphery of the village to resist foreign enemies, prevent floods and hide the village.
Said to be dragon bones, they actually look like petrified arched hills, layered one on top of another, like a road sign, all the way from the Black River across the Dragon Burial Village to Yinlin Mountain.
From a distance, it really looks like a dragon has fallen here, corrupted to the point where only its keel bones are left, arching high.
After the eleventh keel, it is obscured by the lush trees and steep slopes of Yinlin Mountain. It is difficult for outsiders to find it. In addition, when entering the mountain, the rain and fog are thick, making it easy for people to get lost inside.
Dragon meat must be offered in order to know the direction.
Jiang Yao brought this headless body just to deal with the mountain god.
