"The show is coming!"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up and he was about to go out. He would definitely not let go of this opportunity to watch a good show.
However, when Duan Jibo saw this, he quickly reached out to stop him.
"We can just wait for the results. There is no need to get involved." Duan Jibo said.
He felt that after finally getting rid of a few imps, it was too risky to go out and face the native ghosts now.
Lin Chen smiled and said: "The task of the dungeon is to integrate into the village and find out the truth about the formation of the dungeon. Now the villagers' attention is on the group of ghost kings. It doesn't matter if we join in the fun. After all, they are just a group of villagers now, and their Since the target is on those ghost kings, they won’t pay too much attention to us, and we can take a closer look.”
Duan Jibo nodded slowly after hearing this. He had to say that Lin Chen's words made sense. It was difficult to get the truth just by being bored at home.
"However, we still try to keep a low profile and just watch without causing trouble." Duan Jibo emphasized.
Duan Qi also said: "Yes, this is a deserted village dungeon, don't mess around."
"No problem, don't worry." Lin Chen agreed, patting his chest.
Seeing this, Duan Jibo felt a little relieved.
The three of them walked out of the courtyard and walked around the alley where the loess was trampled. The yellow withered grass beside the wall swayed gently in the cool breeze, and soon they arrived at the door of the snake-patterned ghost king's house.
As soon as he approached, Lin Chen saw more than a dozen figures gathered in front of the dilapidated door.
Among them, Tiezhu and seven other little ghosts, including Old Mrs. Li who they met at the entrance of the village, were among them.
At this time, they were cursing something in the direction of the door. Two of the farmers were pushing the courtyard door, intending to force it open from the outside.
Through the gap in the door, you can clearly see that three powerful evil ghosts, including the Snake Pattern Ghost King, are desperately blocking the courtyard door. Their faces are covered with sweat, their faces are pale, and they are scared to death. A shiver.
"Damn outsiders, you're so selfish. People like you don't deserve to live in our village!"
"It's just that you don't want to give me any food. How can you have the nerve to live here?"
"If you don't open the door, we will go in together and rob these outsiders of their belongings!"
The original ghosts of the villagers outside were very excited and cursed one after another.
"We really have no food here, that boy is lying to you!" the snake-patterned ghost king shouted anxiously.
"This is your excuse at all!" Old Mrs. Li said angrily, the wrinkles on her face blooming with anger, and her voice was extremely sharp and harsh.
All the ghost kings in the courtyard felt a chill in their hearts.
At the same time, he was yelling at Lin Chen in his heart.
They knew that if it hadn't been for Chen Guidance, these native ghosts would never have targeted them so quickly.
The two sides continued to argue, and soon they saw that the native ghost villagers outside began to faintly exude Yin Qi, especially Tie Zhu, whose eyeballs had begun to bulge outwards, looking very ferocious.
That is what he looked like when he died. At this time, his hidden ghost nature is constantly being revealed. When his face is really consistent with the appearance when he died, this original ghost will be completely revived.
"Boy Chen, something is not good. Let's go back first. After the original ghost revived, it became more ferocious. It is not like before that you can deceive it with just a few words." Duan Jibo took a breath, but he didn't expect it. As soon as I came out, I saw such a grim scene.
Moreover, there were only three of them around. In front of so many native ghosts on the verge of recovery, it was inevitable that their minds would be a little disturbed.
"Don't panic, look again. Their attention is not on us. If there is any problem, we can leave at any time." Lin Chen turned his face and said to Duan Jibo.
After Duan Jibo heard this, he had no choice but to suppress the idea of leaving and continued reading.
The location of the three of them was relatively secretive, and the original ghosts' attention was all on the snake-patterned ghost king, and they did not notice Lin Chen.
Still arguing about something there.
The snake-patterned ghost king in the courtyard turned green when he felt that the original ghost had begun to emit ghost power.
If they were really blocked in the courtyard by fourteen resurrected native ghosts, even they would have no chance of escaping!
But they couldn't open the door.
They didn't have anything to eat at all, and they had felt hungry just now. They understood clearly the importance of food in this copy.
If you really want to open the door, regardless of whether their small amount can satisfy these villagers, if you hand them all over, you may really starve to death in this deserted village.
"Damn it Chen, you actually diverted the trouble to the east, it's so wicked." The snake-patterned ghost king cursed angrily in a low voice.
He was angry inside. He originally wanted to watch the excitement in the morning, but he didn't expect that the fire burned himself.
"What should we do? If this continues, they will rush in sooner or later!" A ghost king asked with anxiety and fear on his face.
"Delay! These original ghosts have not really revived their ghost nature, and their power will not kill us instantly. They can still compete, so how long can we delay? Maybe they will leave on their own after they have no results." The snake-patterned ghost king gritted his teeth. .
Hearing this, the other four ghosts had no choice but to nod. Apart from that, they had nothing to deal with these native ghost villagers, so no matter what, they could not allow this door that would bring them a sense of security to be opened.
Soon, the pushing and pushing outside really slowed down.
"Since you foreigners don't show mercy, let's forget about this matter. We don't care about talking to you!"
"You people will starve to death sooner or later!"
The movements of the several native ghosts stopped, and they just continued to curse. Their words became more and more harsh, and their voices became even more shrill.
But it sounds like the turmoil this time is really going to stop.
The Snake Pattern Ghost King and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't expect that they could avoid these things so easily.
On the other side, Lin Chen, who also saw this scene, couldn't help but said in surprise: "They are withdrawing now?"
"It's not that simple. The ghost kings inside have been targeted by these villagers. Although they left today, they will definitely come back tomorrow, and they will become more and more fierce every time. The day they finally break through will be the death of these ghost kings." Duan Jibo He said with a solemn expression.
If the greedy native ghost is not satisfied, then things cannot really stop.
"How can that be done? I came here to see the excitement. If there is no excitement at all, wouldn't it be in vain?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Brother, this is not a movie theater, this is a four-star dungeon. Don't cause trouble!" Duan Jibo seemed to have seen Lin Chen's subtext, and became anxious on the spot, hugging Lin Chen's arm and said.
He was not afraid of something happening to him, but worried about Lin Chen. When he saw Lin Chen for the first time in the deserted village, he had made up his mind that even if he died, he would be Lin Chen's backer. Let Lin Chen leave the dungeon as much as possible.
This was not because of the depth of the friendship between the two, but because he knew that Lin Chen's value and role to Zhou Geng and Lan Xing was much greater than his.
That's why he didn't want Lin Chen to take risks.
"Old Duan, I'm not causing trouble, I'm just investigating for clues." Lin Chen emphasized.
"You obviously want to watch the excitement, don't think I don't know." Duan Jibo said with a speechless expression.
When Lin Chen heard this, he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment.
This fat man does have a delicate heart, but he couldn't admit it. He said: "Don't worry, follow me. I have a way to make these original ghosts continue to target the ghost kings, and I can also take advantage of this to learn the secrets of the copy."
"Are you sure?" Duan Jibo and Duan Qi both cast suspicious glances.
"That's natural." Lin Chen replied, and then strode forward.
Duan Jibo felt a little uneasy, but seeing this situation, he had no choice but to accept his fate with a sigh, and followed Lin Chen with Duan Qi.
I just hope that what Lin Chen said is true and nothing unexpected happens.
"Tie Zhu, why are you still arguing? What happened? Tell your cousin."
Lin Chen shouted loudly when he was far away.
"Eh? Cousin!"
Tie Zhu, who was about to leave angrily, said in surprise that after seeing Lin Chen, the ferocious and sinister look on his face faded a lot.
"who are they?"
The two farm men and several other villagers asked with equally surprised expressions.
"This is my cousin. He just came back from outside. He was the one who gave us snacks in the morning. He is really nice!" Tiezhu said happily after seeing Lin Chen.
Wang Xiao, Goudan and other other children all followed:
“The spicy strips are delicious.”
"My cousin is very kind to us."
When the adults heard this, their expressions immediately softened, and they smiled at Lin Chen as a friendly greeting.
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Since no conflict has been initiated, there will probably be no surprises this time.
They knew in their hearts that the previous snacks should have played a role.
I have to admit that sometimes being bold will indeed yield unexpected rewards.
In the courtyard, the Snake Pattern Ghost King, who had already relaxed inside, also noticed the situation outside. After seeing Lin Chen through the crack in the door, his eyes suddenly widened.
"morning?"
The other four ghost kings naturally noticed it, and for a while, a strong feeling of uneasiness arose in the hearts of the five ghost kings.
outside the door.
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "This young man has really good character. He respects the old and loves the young. The old lady likes these young people very much."
"The second wife's compliment is quite right. Just call me Xiaochen. My characteristic is warm-heartedness. I have been here for a long time just now, and a few... people there seem unwilling to open the door for you?" Lin Chen asked.
"Hmph! None of these foreigners are good, Xiaochen, don't associate with them in the future." Old Mrs. Li said.
"Yes, you are so stingy just for eating!"
"These foreigners should all be starving to death!"
Several other villagers also said the same thing, and they despised the snake-patterned ghost king.
Duan Jibo came up appropriately, showed an honest smile and asked: "Second wife, we haven't been back to the village for many years. Why do the villagers seem to have such strong opinions against outsiders?"
"Of course, every good foreigner!"
"They are not as simple as the people in our village at all, and they often look down on us."
"Anyway, just don't get along with them too much."
Mrs. Li snorted coldly, as if she had been resentful of all outsiders for a long time. Several other villagers even spoke angrily, but they didn't seem to know the specific reasons.
"Perhaps, the truth about the copy has something to do with a foreigner."
The more the villagers paid attention to something, the more concerned Lin Chen and the others were.
And all three of them understood that the outsiders they were talking about were by no means the players who entered the dungeon, but the people and things that had happened in the village before.
Duan Qi took the initiative and smiled. She seemed to have adapted to Cuihua's identity. She asked: "Second wife, are there any other outsiders in the village?"
"Li Baoguo's daughter-in-law is a foreigner. She is very bad and dislikes us. Their family is a village tyrant who is greedy for wealth!"
"Yes, the people in the village are starving to death, and they won't give us food! There is no humanity at all."
"That woman is basically a vixen. Because she used to be from the town and her skin is more delicate than us farmers, she dresses up all day long to seduce other men."
Several village women talked to the villagers, full of resentment.
Lin Chen said: "What happened to the woman later?"
"What happened later? She is still doing well at Li Baotian's house, and she even gave birth to a son. God is really short-sighted. Village tyrants like the Li Baotian family, who are rich and unkind, should have cut off their children and grandchildren long ago." Wang Xiao Mother gritted her teeth.
People in the village attach great importance to men, especially families with only daughters, who are very sensitive to the concept of men and women.
After receiving this news, Lin Chen and the other three couldn't help but secretly glance at each other.
Obviously, this Li Baoguo and his wife are a very important clue.
The eyes of the ghost kings inside the door also flickered. This was also important information to them.
"Once these native ghosts are gone, we will investigate Li Baoguo as soon as possible."
"Yes, time is running out. I have a hunch that these villagers will come again tomorrow!"
"This crisis has not really passed. Don't let down your guard. Chen is still outside. Ever since he appeared, I have always had an uneasy feeling." Snake-patterned Ghost King said.
As if responding to the last sentence, Lin Chen outside suddenly turned around again, glanced at the gate of the snake pattern ghost king's courtyard, faced the villagers, and said with a warm smile on his face:
"It's not easy to get them to open the door, let me do it!"
Ghost Kings: "???"
…
