Chapter 17 The Most Beautiful Xiangxi (17)
Everyone's expressions were ugly. The twelve coffins scattered in the main room were different from before they left, and their positions had changed.
The most horrifying thing is that it turns out that there are corpses in the four empty coffins!
Lin Xi hurriedly squeezed over to find the coffin for her body. Soon he breathed a sigh of relief and found it. Lin Xi had paid careful attention before and marked the coffin. As long as the coffin was found, the body would definitely be right——
Lin Xi's expression suddenly froze, and the hand holding the coffin trembled slightly.
Why, why does the body in the coffin seem to have changed?
Lin Xi clearly ordered the cinnabar and tied the ribbons with his own hands, and the positions were the same as in his memory. But he just felt like there was something wrong with this corpse!
"Yes, it's resentment."
A low-pitched male voice with little confidence sounded. The speaker was a middle-aged man who had always been submissive and did not even dare to look at others.
Feeling everyone's gaze, he shrank even more, like a mouse hiding in the darkness, stumbling:
"Resentment, illusions, deceive people's eyes. Only by breaking through the illusion can it be done."
"Yu Hean has seen it with cow's tears. These corpses are covered with a thick layer of black resentment."
Miao Fangfei said solemnly.
[Name: Tears of the Old Scalper]
[Quality: Special]
[Function: Dropping cow’s tears can allow you to see another ‘world’]
[Note: Don’t use it as eye drops. If you drop too much, you will become an old scalper]
"The power of any props will be weakened in Drunken Beauty Xiangxi. Only special-level items can barely be used."
Hearing Miao Fangfei mention him, Yu and An lowered their heads further, their rough fingers uneasily picking at the seams of their trousers.
[Old scalper's repayment (blue title): You once prevented an old scalper from being killed and carefully raised it until it grew old. Good people are rewarded, and the soul of the old scalper is here to repay you! 】
With this title, Yu Hean can get a small bottle of old scalper's tears every week. Because of its high quality, it can still be used in the beautiful Xiangxi.
“To break the illusion of resentment, we must find the core.”
Xu Chen closed his eyes tightly while doing eye exercises, hissing and gasping in pain. He used his eyes too much today, saw too much resentment, and the resentment in the room was so intense that he almost went blind temporarily. He had to get confirmation from Yu and An.
"We have to quickly find out which ones are the real corpses."
Hou Feihu said seriously: "It's almost twelve o'clock, we have to set off at nine o'clock in the evening."
His words made all the passengers feel heavy, but no one lost their temper. Everyone knows that calmness is more important at this time. They haven't finished preparing the corpse yet, so they must free up this time.
"Five o'clock."
Miao Fangfei set the final time: "Before five o'clock, we have to confirm the body."
“At this point, we need everyone to work together.”
Miao Fangfei's eyes swept over everyone, and she was really like a captain. She solemnly said: "We are now grasshoppers on a rope. We are all prosperous and we are all damaged."
Yes, that's what they say, but finding it is easier said than done. Everyone actually marked the coffin, but the problem now is that they can't confirm whether the body in the coffin is the one they handled.
That subtle sense of strangeness cannot be overcome, making people unable to make a decision.
"If it doesn't work, we can only deal with these twelve corpses and drive them out."
There is no other way.
"They want to leave too."
After searching for a few rounds, the clueless fat man squatted at the door smoking. Xu Chen walked over to him tiredly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu He'an only had three drops of cow's tears in a bottle. To use them up, he had to rely on Xu Chen's title [Resentment Perception]. Xu Chen was always tense and consumed a lot.
"Yeah, who wouldn't want to leave this crappy place."
The fat man pursed his lips, reluctant to throw away the butt of the cigarette, holding it in his mouth to suck.
"Maybe those evil things lured us there on purpose."
They were talking about the group of rotting corpses in the small courtyard. Although Lin Xi and the other three were there on their own, from the time they were haunted by hallucinations, to the screams that attracted all the passengers to come over for rescue, no one was guarding the main room, and to the fact that there were four more corpses in the room. In various situations, it is impossible to say that there is no connection.
The corpses in the courtyard have been tortured by wind and rain for a long time, and they also want to leave and get out.
The only way out is to drive away the corpses of the passengers!
"Would you like one?"
The fat man handed Xu Chen a cigarette. Xu Chen thanked him tiredly and took the cigarette. The fat man took the initiative to light it for him.
Nicotine relaxed the tense nerves. Xu Chen rarely smoked, so he choked and coughed. The fat man hurriedly patted him on the back.
"Thank you, Brother Wang."
The friendship over a cigarette made Xu Chen much closer to Wang Pengpai. Fatty was a generous and enthusiastic person, which made Xu Chen subconsciously trust him. When he was hesitant and entangled in his heart, Xu Chen subconsciously came to the door.
"Xiaochen is worried?"
The fat man patted him on the back, handed him a bottle of water, and said sincerely: "Brother likes to nag, so don't find it annoying Xiaochen. Just like Team Miao said, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, jumping around, dead Ah, it’s all in Yikuai. If you have any questions, I will definitely not ignore it, Brother Wang!”
The fat man patted his chest and promised, and Xu Chen somehow felt that he was trustworthy.
If he was really holding it in his chest, Xu Chen didn't know who to talk to except Fatty.
"If, I mean if, I have a way to find the core of resentment."
Xu Chen lowered his voice and spoke hesitantly, but the secret became smoother and smoother.
"But if I use this method, people can't move."
Xu Chen hardened his heart, took out something, quickly showed it to Wang Pengpai, and said resolutely:
"Unless someone can help me deal with the corpse, and carry me on their backs before I recover, I won't use it."
"Wow, you actually have this!"
Even the knowledgeable fat man almost screamed when he saw what Xu Chen took out.
[Name: * * * double-sided tape]
[Quality: unknown]
[Function: can stick everything together! 】
【Time limit: 1 hour】
“This, this, this, this, are you going to use this?”
The fat man actually stuttered, in disbelief, his eyes widened, his fat carrot-like fingers trembled, just like seeing a cow chewing a peony, and his breath was weak: “You, you want to use this?”
“Yes.”
Xu Chen was also a little reluctant, and did not notice the fat man’s unusual excitement: “I asked the hotel to identify it, it can even stick together the title... I have two similar titles, one blue and one green, and sticking them together will advance.”
[Resentment perception (green title): You have a certain eye disease and can see inexplicable gray air! Be careful, the more people know, the faster you die~]
[Death perception (blue title): You have a certain eye disease and can see the dead and alive air on the living! Be careful, maybe the more dead people are, the stronger they are! 】
"These two titles should be combined to become the purple title 'Perceiver', so that I can see the source of resentment specifically. Maybe I can even tell which body is ours by the thickness of the resentment."
Xu Chen smiled nervously: "But I am not strong enough, and I will have a headache when using the first two titles. If I use the purple title across levels, I will definitely faint from the pain."
"Wait, let me find Captain Miao, I have to tell her about this."
The fat man said weakly, waving his hands like he was exhausted. He endured and endured, but still couldn't help asking: "You, how did you get this prop?"
"Is it precious?"
The fat man's attitude also made Xu Chen feel it. He was not afraid, and generously showed the 'double-sided tape' again: "This was accidentally opened when I opened the hotel blind box."
If a traveler experiences all the projects in a journey, he will get a 'blind box' reward at the end of the journey. It may be a treasure, or it may be worthless garbage.
No matter what it is, the items opened from the hotel blind box cannot be traded or robbed, and Xu Chen is not afraid of the fat man robbing it. But this thing cannot be sold either. Anyway, you have to use it yourself in the end, so just use it when you need it most.
"You, me, hey, Xiao Xu, Brother Fatty won't hide it from you, this thing is very precious, very, very precious, and it can even stick to the purple title!"
The fat man became serious and said seriously: "If you have the purple title "Perceiver" and the purple title "Observer" in the future, you can even temporarily get the orange title "Sky Eye" by sticking them together. That's, that's..."
"Brother Wang knows a lot."
Xu Chen sighed, but his expression became calmer, and he smiled and shook his head: "The orange title is too far away from me, even the purple title, I guess I will die before that."
Good things are only good things when he is alive. After he dies, they are worthless to him.
Xu Chen knows his own weight. Now he may not even survive the most beautiful Xiangxi, so how dare he think about the future. But the fat man's words finally touched Xu Chen's heartstrings.
When he went to find Miao Fangfei, Xu Chen couldn't help thinking that he had never heard of the orange title. You know, the titles above the purple title are mysterious and extraordinary, unknown to the public, and only the great travelers and tour guides at the top of the pyramid can have them.
Xu Chen had only heard that the captain of the legendary strongest brigade seemed to have an eye on his forehead that could see through everything.
Is that the Eye of Heaven?
* *
[You have observed the resentment of the leader of the corpse flying fox, resentment level: C level]
[Task progress: 1.75%]
"Should I do this? Why did it only increase by 0.25%!"
Wei Xun complained, and swiftly avoided the attack of the corpse flying fox. At this moment, his eyes were closed, and two lines of blood and tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.
Just now, Wei Xun stole a little resentment from the mutant corpse flying fox. He used the same trick to draw the resentment into his eyes, but he didn't expect that this kind of black resentment was completely unbearable for his eyeballs!
On the eve of blindness, Wei Xun removed the resentment in time. Before he could figure out how to throw it away, a force burst out from the two corners of his forehead, strongly binding the black resentment and trapping it in the center of Wei Xun's forehead.
Although his SAN value dropped a little, Wei Xun found that he could see again, as if there was an extra eye in the center of his forehead. Wei Xun could easily see through the attack trajectory of the corpse flying fox and avoid it in advance.
His head was swelling, as if a basin of hot water was poured on it. If Wei Xun had a sense of pain, he would have fainted from the pain just now.
But Wei Xun didn't feel pain, and he could even think calmly.
This mutant corpse flying fox was much stronger than the one he encountered on the mountain road. Now that no passengers had left the team, the guide flag had lost its enhanced power and became much weaker. Wei Xun only relied on the characteristic of the guide flag that would not be damaged to barely deal with the corpse flying fox.
If it weren't for the task that was refreshed before, Wei Xun would have been thinking about how to escape.
The battle was exciting, and it was also exciting to successfully escape from the pursuit of a strong enemy!
But he can't!
[Random Mission: The Vengeful Corpse Flying Fox Leader]
[Mission level: Extremely urgent]
[Mission description: Oh my god, the corpse-transformed flying fox leader actually chased to Xiaolong Yizhuang in order to avenge the clan fox! The most important thing is that it has "that" thing on it! Please ask the tour guide to retrieve "Pingping's blood dagger" as soon as possible. If it continues to stay in Xiaolong Yizhuang, there will be a danger of annihilation! ]
[Reward: Pingping's blood dagger]
The strong resentment on the corpse-transformed flying fox leader is not its own. Wei Xun can clearly "see" that there is a group of deep red and almost black resentment hidden very deep on the left side of its abdomen.
That is the key!
The corpse-transformed flying fox leader attacked again and grabbed a large piece of meat from Wei Xun's arm, but Wei Xun's tour guide flagpole hit the left abdomen of the flying fox leader again. Wei Xun has been attacking here since the beginning of the battle, and he has been attacking with his left arm. When Wei Xun was covered with wounds, finally, the left abdomen of the corpse-transformed flying fox leader was pierced by him!
"Ying——!!!"
The corpse-transformed flying fox leader roared in anger. Instead of running away, it became even more ferocious. Its sharp claws bent like eagle hooks and fiercely grabbed Wei Xun's left arm. At the same time, it fiercely bit Wei Xun's upper arm joint, and actually wanted to bite his arm off.
Now!
The sharp blade flashed with cold light, and Wei Xun decisively used the dagger to tear its left abdomen deeper, and then his right hand was like a spear, suddenly penetrating its abdominal cavity!
"Ying——!!!"
The corpse-transformed flying fox leader sensed the crisis and wanted to fight back, but it was too late!
Rip——
Like a cloth torn apart, rotten black blood spurted out, Wei Xun took a step back and completely avoided it. His face covered by a bronze mask was as cold as a demon god. The next moment Wei Xun suddenly pulled out his hand, tightly grasping the dark red dagger.
"Ying——"
The corpse-transformed flying fox leader wailed continuously. After losing the blood-resenting dagger, its body shrank and turned black. It struggled to fly up and tried to escape, but it fell to the ground before it got far away and broke into a pile of dry skin like wood chips.
"Hu, hu."
Wei Xun panted heavily, and the resentment in his forehead was exhausted. His vision became dark, and his right hand was icy cold, as if he was holding not a dagger, but an extremely cold ice cube.
[Ding, random task completed! 】
[Mission rewards issued——]
[You get Pingping's blood dagger]
[You get 150 points]
[New scenic spot Feihu Forest, development progress 65%]
[Ding, you killed the right commander of the corpse flying fox, and the collection progress of the corpse flying fox illustrations is 2/4]
[The commander of the corpse flying fox is a high-level peak monster. He has eaten the corpse flying fox of the corpse driver Pingping. He has Pingping's resentful items and his whole body contains fierce resentment]
[You killed the right commander of the corpse flying fox and gained the hatred of the corpse flying fox group. Be careful of their revenge! ]
[Name: Pingping's blood dagger]
[Quality: Scene (can only be used in this journey, cannot be taken out of the journey)]
[Function: The object of Pingping's most hatred, kill him to death]
[Note: It is said that weapons sacrificed with blood can produce weapon spirits. So what kind of resentful spirits will weapons sacrificed with resentful blood produce? 】
"The hotel is still so stingy."
Wei Xun complained, and just as he was about to raise his hand to wipe his face, he remembered that his hand was still stained with the poisonous blood of the corpse-transformed flying fox leader.
"Fuck, is my hand still there?"
Wei Xun, who could not feel the pain and could not see for the time being, scratched his eyes blindly, not knowing what his hand had been corroded into. And just now the corpse-transformed flying fox leader was directly smashed into pieces, does it still have the courage?
Wei Xun moved his fingers. The good news is that his hand should be intact for now. The bad news is that he can't even feel itchy, and has no idea what the specific situation of his hand is now!
At this moment, the hotel reminder sounded suddenly in Wei Xun's mind.
【Ding, you have been suffering from severe poisons. You have been poisoned by two different kinds of severe poisons in just two days without dying. Maybe your body has developed resistance to the severe poison! ]
[You get the title: Poison Resistance (Green)]
[Poison Resistance (Green Title): From now on, poison can no longer kill you. You will only feel pain ten times more painful than childbirth! Of course, you only have poison resistance, ordinary poisons can still kill you~]
[Title worn]
[Damn, you have been tortured by resentment. In just two days, you have been in close contact with two different strong resentments and have not died. Perhaps your body has developed resistance to strong resentment! ]
[You get the title: Strong Resentment Resistance (Green)]
[Strong Resentment Resistance (Green Title): From now on, strong resentment can no longer kill you. You will only feel a hundred times more fear than watching "The Grudge"! Of course, you only have strong resentment resistance, ordinary resentment can still kill you~]
[Title worn]
After having these two titles, Wei Xun immediately felt much better. His eyes, which were originally burning, seemed to be soaked by a cool breeze. He tried to blink and slowly opened his eyes. Sure enough! His eyes that were injured by the resentment have basically recovered to normal. Although he still sees things a little blurry, it is no longer a big problem!
Wei Xun hurriedly looked at his hand and found that the dagger in his right hand that tore the abdomen of the corpse-transformed flying fox leader had been completely corroded by the poisonous blood and turned into a pile of scrap metal, but his right hand that was completely stained red was fine. Pingping's resentful blood dagger was tightly held in his hand, and the sharp blade was as red as cinnabar. On the contrary, the left arm that was torn by the corpse-transformed flying fox leader was more seriously injured.
"Resentful spirit?"
Wei Xun briefly moved his arm and found that the injury was a flesh injury. Fortunately, the muscles and tendons were not injured. Wei Xun simply treated the wound and left it alone. He swung the dagger and felt nothing strange.
"Are there really evil spirits?"
Wei Xun couldn't see it for the time being, so he put this aside for the time being. After this battle, Wei Xun felt that his biggest gain was that he had gained two new titles and learned how to obtain them.
Wei Xun had so many inspirations that he almost couldn't wait to try it again, but it was a pity——
[You have been equipped with the temporary title 'Bingjiu'; the purple title 'Cold-blooded'; the blue title 'Yellow'; the green title 'Poison Resistance'; the green title 'Strong Resentment Resistance', the title column is full! 】
"Can I only wear five titles? It's so few."
Wei Xun complained and exchanged 100 points for 24 hours. It was true that he had been seriously injured in the battle just now, and the countdown to death had dropped sharply.
Otherwise, if he gets these 150 points and saves them, Wei Xun can experience the [First Experience of Natural Childbirth] with 200 points!
This is Wei Xun’s current information——
【Tour guide information】
[Codename: Bingjiu (only on this journey)]
[Rank: Silver Five Star (Bingjiu’s rank) Ten Ten Ten]
【Death Countdown 35:24:11】
[Points: 105]
[Spiritual pollution value (SAN): 85]
There was one more plus sign, and the SAN value dropped by five points. Wei Xun did not convert all the points into time. He felt that the increased strength brought by this low time, and the small horns grown from the low SAN value were very useful.
What if his death countdown is increased to a safe range, without the strength bonus, and he dies when he encounters danger.
Wei Xun has a legitimate reason, pursuing excitement is just incidental!
"The right commander of the corpse-turned-flying fox, 2/4 of the illustrations have been collected. In other words, there is also a left commander, the corpse-turned-flying fox king or something like that?"
After this battle, he couldn't get the new clothes he had just changed into. Wei Xun didn't want to bring the stinky smell of fish, rotten shrimp, and blood back to his room, so he simply went outside to get wet in the rain.
"Has the corpse-turned-flying-fox commander eaten the corpse-driver Pingping? Then the Feihu Mountain Forest scenic spot should have new tasks."
Wei Xun connected the clues he got and found out that the resentment that shrouded the entire Xiaolong Yi Village was the resentment of the corpse exorcist Ping Ping, and this resentment trapped the corpses in the courtyard here - that is to say, the corpses in the courtyard were different from each other. The corpse chaser Ping Ping has a grudge.
And the corpse-turned-flying fox had eaten Pingping... but he didn't necessarily have any grudge against Pingping.
"The chiefs of Qiebi Village have tamed flying foxes for generations... A hundred years ago, the chief of Qiebi Village taught his only daughter Pingping the art of driving away corpses. Did he also teach him the method of taming flying foxes?"
Wei Xun threw away the bloody dagger in his hand. This journey required them to experience the life of Pingping, the corpse exorcist. He intuitively believed that if the Feihu Mountain Forest was really opened up, he might be able to get more clues about Pingping.
Although he is just a tour guide, who says that a tour guide can't have fun and get involved in the journey? Wei Xun was the first to say no!
"Oh, what can I do with my body?"
After the excitement, Wei Xun began to dislike his outfit again. Now his shoes were soaked and his clothes were tattered and dirty.
Although there is a washing machine in his room, Wei Xun doesn't know how to use it.
"I don't know if Lin Xi has any clothes. If not, I have to find someone to sew and wash my clothes."
Wei Xun was thinking about it when suddenly he saw Miao Fangfei and others walking towards him.
Wei Xun's eyes lit up.
* *
"Is this the source of the black resentment you mentioned?"
Hou Feihu asked anxiously while carrying Xu Chen on his shoulders.
"yes……"
Xu Chen said weakly, he was in a very bad state now. After obtaining the title of Adhesion, he did obtain the purple title of 'Observer'. Although it only lasted one hour, it was enough.
Xu Chen only took one look and confirmed that the black resentment covering the coffin came from the corpses in the small courtyard. So Zhao Hongtu, Wang Pengpai and the other four stayed behind in the main room, while Miao Fangfei and the others hurried over here with Xu Chen.
Just in time for Wei Xun's battle to end, Wei Xun, who was covered in blood, startled them, thinking it was a new breed of blood corpse or something. Fortunately the bronze mask revealed his identity.
But now the tourists didn't bother to say hello to the tour guide. Even Miao Fangfei just nodded hurriedly to Wei Xun, and then looked at Xu Chen anxiously and expectantly: "Xu Chen, please confirm which corpse the source of resentment came from. "
"good."
Xu Chen responded and reluctantly stood up with Hou Feihu's help. His eyes were closed tightly, and a tear of blood flowed from his left eye. This was the injury he received when he saw Resentment just now. The purple title is too powerful and cannot be endured by him now.
Use it once more at most.
So Xu Chen closed his eyes all the way and waited for the most critical moment to use it.
"Okay, let me take a look."
The left eye could not be used temporarily. Xu Chen opened his right eye. At this moment, a second purple pupil seemed to appear in his eye. This was a sign that the title of Perceiver was working!
"ah!!!"
But what no one expected was that Xu Chen screamed after just one glance. His whole body twitched and his right eye was bleeding crazily.
"Eyes! My eyes!!"
Xu Chen almost fainted from the pain, and Miao Fangfei and others were so frightened that they rushed to rescue him, feeling more and more sad in his heart. It seemed that Xu Chen had discovered the core of his resentment, but the opponent was definitely extremely powerful, and Xu Chen was defeated with just one glance.
While waiting for Xu Chen to wake up, Miao Fangfei and others carried him back to the main house and told Zhao Hongtu and others what happened. For a moment, everyone's face was extremely solemn. Yu Hean, who was the most timid, kept trembling, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything to back down.
Everyone knew that they had to kill the core and find the right body!
"Wait a minute, we'll do this and that--"
Just as Miao Fangfei and others were seriously discussing the battle plan and the brigade was filled with a solemn atmosphere of a desperate battle, Xu Chen finally woke up. He sat up suddenly, unable to open his eyes, and hurriedly grabbed the hand of anyone around him and asked anxiously:
"Who, who is it?!"
"I'm Hou Feihu, Xu Chen, don't be anxious, talk slowly."
Hou Feihu, whose hand he grabbed, did not shake it off, but comforted him. Seeing Xu Chen wake up, everyone gathered around, and the violent Zhao Hongtu said anxiously: "You saw the core of the resentment, who is it?!"
"No, no, no, before, who was the person next to the corpse group before?!"
But Xu Chen ignored him, holding Hou Feihu's hand tightly, and talking incoherently. The fat man poured him a glass of water. After drinking the water, Xu Chen managed to breathe smoothly and his emotions stabilized a little. Under Zhao Hongtu's questioning, he shook his head.
"No, I didn't see the resentment core - or rather, the entire group of corpses are the resentment core. The thick black resentment evenly covers them"
"Fuck!"
His words made Zhao Hongtu explode instantly, and he almost rushed over to grab Xu Chen's collar. After being blocked, he cursed fiercely: "What stupid things are you talking about! Do we have to clear all the corpses? How can we destroy the resentment core!"
His words were unpleasant, but this was also what everyone thought in their hearts. Miao Fangfei was in a very heavy mood. If it was really like Xu Chen said, the group of corpses in the courtyard must be cleared to remove the resentment core, then the difficulty of this beautiful Xiangxi was too terrifying!
Even if they could solve the group of corpses, the remaining time would probably not be enough to deal with the zombies. Miao Fangfei felt a little desperate in her heart. This was almost an unsolvable dilemma of death -
"No, it's not. You don't have to kill all the corpses."
Xu Chen took a deep breath and brought a new turn for everyone.
"As long as we find the person standing next to the corpses, yes, as long as we find him, it will be fine!"
The moment Xu Chen opened his eyes, he saw the thick black resentment on the corpses, but those resentments tried their best to hide to the side. They were afraid, afraid of the person holding a ball of crimson resentment!
As long as he was found, the black resentment on the coffin would also be afraid to avoid it!
But at the same time, Xu Chen also saw a strong death aura from this person that almost swallowed him up!
His eyes were not stung by the resentment, but were almost blinded by the extremely thick death aura. Is a person with such a strong death aura really still alive!
At that time, the person standing next to the corpses——
Miao Fangfei blurted out:
"It's Bingjiu!"
