Chapter 493 The Village of the Dead
There is a bright golden light in the sky.
This golden light makes people feel warm, just like sunshine, but different, as if they are bathed in holy light.
Not only does the body feel comfortable, but the mind is also clearer.
It makes people instinctively feel comfortable and have a good impression.
And this feeling seems familiar.
There is such a familiar feeling because it is not the sun that emits bright golden light in the sky.
It was the scene that shocked Kane when he first came into contact with the dungeon.
A translucent golden rainbow bridge spans the sky.
And the sunshine has disappeared.
The Golden Bridge replaces the sun and nourishes all things.
This scene is so familiar.
Now, Kane finally understood why they were allowed to become the first and only group of explorers in this decade.
Is this the original origin?
Kane would never believe it if there was no connection between this dungeon and the giant woodland he once cleared.
This golden bridge spanning the sky is so recognizable.
But compared to the golden bridge felt in the giant woodland, the brilliance given by this golden bridge is more real, and the gain and power it gives are also more powerful.
It seemed as if the first dungeon I cleared was just an illusion, and this golden bridge was the real reality.
Kane withdrew his gaze and continued to follow the old man in front of him.
He fell behind slightly, lowered his voice, and sent a message to Claire and the others through the ruby collar pin on his collar.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
Kane's voice reached Claire and the others through the ruby collar.
"You hear me, good brother."
Longbei's voice echoed from the ruby collar clip.
Li Lulu's voice also came from inside: "You can hear it, you can hear it."
Then there were two knocking sounds.
These two knocking sounds should have come from Claire and Mezzik.
On their behalf, they can now receive conversations from Kane and the others, but it is inconvenient to respond.
"Are you safe now? Are you together?"
"No, I'm alone. It's relatively safe in a cave now. And you don't know, I actually climbed out of a coffin."
"Li Lulu is also safe, but Li Lulu is in a closed forest, which is the hidden home of Qi Dan and the others. Qi Dan is taking me to their house, and Li Lulu also climbed out of the coffin.
"
After hearing the words of the two people, it seemed that not only he climbed out of the coffin, but his teammates also climbed out through the coffin.
And they should be scattered everywhere now.
However, there is a ruby collar and a guild hall, which can be used to talk and determine their respective directions, so even if they are separated, it is not a big problem.
Kane thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's do this for now. Everyone, pay attention to safety. After it's safe, we will exchange information in the guild hall."
"no problem."
"OK."
After hanging up the call, Kane walked forward quickly.
Came to the old man's side.
"Old sir, what do I call you?" Kane asked.
Upon hearing Kane's question, the old man did not turn his head, but continued to move forward dragging the board.
"Death took away some of my memories. I forgot my name. Just call me the old man who carried the coffin. That's what everyone calls me."
Kane nodded.
He could already see the village not far ahead.
It was at the bottom of their hillside, and the maple forest they were just in was on a hillside.
As he got closer to the village, the old man began to introduce the situation in the village to Kane.
"Our village is made up of the resurrected dead and is within the territory of the Red King. However, the Red King does not recognize us as his people, but he did not drive us away."
"After entering the village, you are also one of them. If you don't like it, you can leave. But don't ask about other people's past, as it may make them miserable."
The boss told Kane some things that needed attention at the gathering place ahead.
Kane nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will remember it."
Remember these details to get more information.
The two of them chatted leisurely like this, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the village.
When Kane came to the village, he smelled a rotten smell permeating the whole village.
But at least it doesn't have the stench of rotting corpses, which is much better than Kane thought.
He had already made up his mind. The whole village smelled of rotting corpses, and the current situation made him feel better.
However, he still used his original skills to create a transparent air plug on his nose to filter out these decadent smells.
There are no guards at the entrance of this village, and there are no protective wooden walls or fences in the entire village.
The eyes of the villagers in the village are a little hazy and turbid, and the clothes they wear are like funerary objects. Even though they can see the splendor of the past, they are still gray and dilapidated now.
Some dry marks can be seen more or less on some limbs of these villagers, which seems to mean that they are people who have been resurrected from the dead.
After watching the old man dragging a cart of coffins in, there was also a strange man beside him.
Everyone looked at him, but they only glanced at him twice and then looked away.
It seems that there are new faces in the village, there is nothing surprising about them.
The old man took Kane to a building.
"This can be regarded as a tavern in the village. You can live here for a while first, and then build your own wooden house. Free accommodation will be provided before building."
After speaking, the old man waved to Kane and continued to move towards the village while dragging the wooden cart.
Kane watched the old man leave.
Finally, I turned around and looked at the building in front of me. Like the surrounding buildings, it was all made of pure wood.
It can be seen from these details that this building has been built for a long time, and some of the wood has become rotten and tattered.
Kane pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
Although there were tables, chairs and benches inside, except for a few people in the corner, no other guests were seen. The entire tavern was very quiet, and only the slightest sound of chewing could be heard.
And those people in the corner were not chewing pieces of meat, but holding a dark red plant and biting it.
Kane came to the bar. Inside the bar was a thin man with short, yellow hair.
There is no eyeball in the socket of his left eye, but a dry one, and a deeply sunken hole can be seen.
The boss stared at Kane in front of him with his remaining right eye: "A new face I have never seen before."
"Are you the dead man who just crawled out of the grave?"
Kane nodded and said: "Climbed out of the coffin carried by an old man who carried the coffin."
After listening to Kane's words, the boss nodded as if he suddenly understood.
"So you climbed out of the old man's coffin. From time to time, dead people crawled out of the old man's coffin."
Then he patted his chest with his hand and said, "I'm different. I dug myself out of the grave directly."
After saying that, he took out a dark red plant from the wine cabinet behind him, which looked like the rhizome of some kind of plant.
It was said to be a tavern, but there were no drinks in his wine cabinet, only the dark red plant roots.
He handed the rhizome to Kane and asked, "Would you like one?"
Kane waved his hand in refusal.
"You may have just crawled out but you don't know that we no longer have the sense of taste that living people have. Whether we eat dirt or food, the taste is the same. If you don't eat it, you won't die, but..."
He waved the dark red rhizome in his hand, took a bite, and a drop of red liquid slipped from his mouth.
He chewed it twice, looking a little enjoying it, and said: "This thing can at least give us a little taste. Although it's not very delicious, at least we can feel the taste, right?"
"I'm only asking you this once. If you don't want it, you'll have to pay next time."
Kane finally took it, but he didn't eat it, but held it in his hand.
Seeing this situation, the boss didn't say anything. He felt that Kane must have not gotten used to his status as a dead person.
If you don’t eat it now, you will naturally get used to it over time.
"You have just climbed out, and you don't have your own house. If you want to stay in the village, you have to build your own house. During this time, you can choose a room in the back room to rest."
"Anyway, you are the only new dead person this month, and the whole back room is completely empty."
"Thank you."
"Why thank you? We are all dead anyway. After all, we can be regarded as compatriots now."
Kane thanked him and sat in front of him, and finally asked: "I don't know what to call you yet."
"Hahaha, I only know that my name during my lifetime contained the word "Ke". It's okay if you call me "Ke" or a tavern owner."
"Well, my name is Kane."
"It's great that you can still remember your name clearly."
There was a bit of envy in Ke's tone.
Kane smiled, pointed outside and said: "I just climbed out, I don't know the specific situation outside now..."
"Haha, it's normal. After all, everyone dies at different times. Let me tell you about the current situation."
Finally, he looked at Kane and asked: "Which era do you live in? The solar era? The platinum era? Or is it the broken era now?"
Kane shook his head.
"Except for the name, I have forgotten most of the common sense."
"Ah? I forgot everything. Then your situation is much worse than mine."
Ke's voice was a little surprised, and the envious expression before was gone now.
"Ahem!" Ke cleared his throat.
"Then let me tell you about the current situation. I'm pretty good at this and I know a lot."
From the look on Ke's face, he seemed to be ready to speak.
However, at this time, shouts came from outside the tavern door.
"Come out, please. I need your help. Come out quickly, come out quickly."
The voice coming from outside was a little rough.
Ke immediately responded loudly: "It's coming, it's coming, don't worry, it's coming."
Then he said to Kane: "Wait for me, I will be back soon, and I will talk to you slowly then."
After saying that, he jumped out of the bar and quickly ran out the door.
At this time, Claire's voice came from Kane's ruby collar clip.
"There were creatures from the dungeon just now, so it's hard to talk. I'm collecting information now. Let's communicate in the guild hall later."
"OK."
"no problem."
Everyone agreed to Claire's proposal, which meant that they were somewhat stable now.
Kane also replied in agreement. He now needs to know the general situation of the dungeon from Ke.
Then exchange information with Claire and others, so that we can know the general situation of the dungeon to the maximum extent and prepare for subsequent actions.
Kane thought like this.
Ke's voice came from behind.
"I kept you waiting for a long time. The new shipment has been delivered. Now let's continue the previous topic."
As he spoke, Ke turned over again and jumped in from outside the bar.
Chapter completed!
