readx;    The house where Hong Yi is located is owned by Lao Chen, built with stones and wood. It is quite clean, and the most important thing is that it is spacious. Now this house is naturally occupied by Hong Yi.

On the table were some foods brought by Lao Chen and the others, some berries, some cakes grated with cereals, some barbecue and a prawn.

Barbecue is the meat of mutant creatures. The prawn is also a low-level mutant, the size of a forearm and is not very threatening, but if you look down on it, it will also cause great trouble. However, the meat in the hard shell of this low-level mutant is extremely delicious, which can be regarded as a rare delicacy.

However, these foods are definitely not available to every barbarian race. Most humans in the Shizhuang gathering area can only obtain very little food every day. Even the leader Lao Chen doesn’t have much food every day, otherwise those people would not be hungry.

Hong Yi found someone and asked the other party to try some foods and confirmed that they were not poisonous before they started eating. Of course, before that, he also asked Nuwa to scan it, but no toxins were found. The reason why he found someone to try it was purely to add a layer of insurance.

After eating the food, Hong Yi felt energetic, and then he took out the treasure demon's pocket.

It was definitely a surprise to be able to get the pocket of this treasure demon. At that time, in order to trick me into pulling out the Stone-Suppressing Sword, the other party deliberately gave it to me, but I guess I couldn't open it. But I knew the "space sensing" skill, and Heifeng and others could only be smart but were mistaken for themselves, and they were cheap.

Using space sensing, Hong Yi easily opened the treasure demon's pocket and looked at the things inside one by one.

In human intelligence, treasure monsters are a kind of mutant that only exists in legends. They have very fast speeds and prefer to collect treasures and valuable things.

So the things in their pockets are absolutely not bad, and in fact they are almost the same. Hong Yi found a lot of good things in his pocket, mutant brain crystals, some weapons and armor that were obviously not from human hands. There are also many messy things, many Hong Yi couldn't determine what it was for a while.

But the next moment, when Hong Yi saw something, his eyes lit up and took it out.

It was an irregular stone. It was as big as a half-person head, with extremely fine texture, with natural patterns on it, very exquisite, just like it was from an art master. In addition, this stone was very heavy.

Hong Yi recognized this kind of stone. Before, Hong Yi had seen a stone pier made of this kind of stone in the corpse hall of Mine No. 14. At that time, he used the stone pier to listen to the monkey demon's lecture and opened the second-level brain domain of Baixing. Hong Yi remembered that this kind of stone was called "magnet".

This kind of stone is obviously very rare, otherwise the pig demons and the others would not have run to the corpse hall at that time. Although there is also the reason why the monkey master preaches, there is no doubt that if there are only scriptures and no magnets, it is probably impossible to achieve the effect of directly opening the brain domain.

Another point is that the magnet in the Corpse Hall has obviously been used more than once, and Hong Yi has never used it before. To put it simply, this magnet can definitely be regarded as a raw stone.

At this time, Hong Yi's heart moved. Now he has magnets and Ksitigarbha scriptures. Is it possible to open his brain by himself?

To be honest, Hong Yi had planned to buy potions and programs that recently opened the third-level brain domain of Baixing. Now that he has magnets in his hand, he can also open the brain domain. Why not try it?

The Black Wind Demon and the Yellow Demon made Hong Yi completely understand what it means to have a mountain outside the mountain. In the eyes of these two great demon-level mutants, Hong Yi had no threat at all, and the mutants that were stronger than them also existed, which made Hong Yi feel an urgent idea of ​​improving his strength.

When he thought about it, he did it. At this time, Hong Yi called Lao Chen at the door and told the other party that he had not summoned himself and that no one was allowed to disturb him. Then he changed to a comfortable position and sat on the magnet and began to recite the Ksitigarbha scriptures silently.

Outside the door, Lao Chen arranged two people to guard the door, and then walked to another stone house, but there were people who had been waiting for the room.

"Old Chen, what should we do now? We can't always succumb to that outsider. If we continue like this, we may not have a good life." An older man whispered at this time.

"That's right, our Shizhuang gathering place has a history of 30 years. It has always been free and free. Now it is controlled or even enslaved by an outsider. This is absolutely not possible." Another person said with a glaring eyes.

The others also started to speak out, and Old Chen said with a look of an ugly expression: "What should I do? You saw it too. That person killed Zhang Bin in an instant. We couldn't even see his movements clearly. We are enemies with them. Are you the opponents?"

The people in this room immediately looked at me and I looked at you and said nothing. They were all in their forties and fifties, belonging to the "Presbyterian Church" in Shizhuang, and were also the group of people with the most power here. Even the leader Lao Chen sometimes had to listen to them.

Although the Shizhuang gathering place is small and food is in short supply, it is at least safe. Moreover, as members of the Presbyterian Church with rights, these people receive enough food to survive, so of course they do not like the right to be taken away.

Although they were unwilling to accept or be reluctant, they didn't dare to let them fight to the death. At this time, a member of the Presbyterian Church turned his eyes and laughed dryly: "Old Chen, you can't say that. We are also for the good of Shizhuang. That person is not a good person at first sight. Now he has taken our food and will definitely steal our women in the future. Maybe he is a cannibal. If there is no food at that time, he will eat us one by one. Even if he is powerful, so many of us come together, can't he kill him? It's really not possible. We can still invite the mountain god..."

"No!" Old Chen immediately spoke when he heard the last sentence, looking very excited, with a hint of horror in his expression. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Old Qiao, are you crazy? Is the mountain god so easy to invite? Have you forgotten what price we have to pay?"

"Of course there will be a price. Do you think we can live here safely for so many years, and don't worry about the reason why those terrifying mutant monsters rushed up to tear us apart and eating us apart? It's not because of the mountain god, but all we have to do is to offer a girl as a sacrifice every month. This time, at worst, we can offer another girl. Anyway, there are many women in our Shizhuang." Lao Qiao looked as if he were right, and the people from other Presbyterians nodded. Obviously, they did not feel any guilt when sacrificing other people for their status.

Old Chen's face turned pale, but when he saw that all the people in the Presbyterian Church had the same opinion, he knew that it would be useless to say anything. These old guys had obviously made up their minds. Even if he was the leader, he could not control the decision of the Presbyterian Church. There were only more than 200 people in Shizhuang gathering place, and 80% of these people were confidants of the Presbyterian Church. It was not the first time that this was done to exchange some girls who had nothing to do with them for their interests.

The word "Mountain God" is a taboo in Shizhuang. No one knows what a mountain god is. He only knows that every month I send a pure girl into a cave on the top of the mountain as a sacrifice, which can be exchanged for the protection of the mountain god. This is also the reason why the mutant does not approach this mountain.

This has been happening for decades. Shizhuang and even two other cannibal humans have become accustomed to the existence of mountain gods. Every month, three small gathering places will take turns to offer a girl's sacrifice in exchange for the right to survive here.

Old Chen did not tell the outsider about this because he could see that the other party could not stay in Shizhuang for too long. Since that is the case, it is better to have less than more things.

The Presbyterian Church made a decision and directly gave up the idea of ​​besieging the outsider. After all, they still remembered the other party's methods before. Even if they sent all the soldiers, they might not be able to kill the other party. Moreover, the Presbyterian Church was unwilling to fight with the outsider to lose both sides.

So the result of the discussion was to directly ask the mountain god to kill the outsider for them.

They only need to offer a sacrifice to solve the problem. A girl who was only two years old won the lottery and became a sacrifice. The girl's parents trembled and held the girl's little hand and handed the girl to the Presbyterian Church.

The two-year-old girl didn't know anything. She was so scared that she cried loudly and kept calling her mother, but her parents had no choice but to watch her daughter being sent to the mountain.

Everyone knows that this two-year-old girl will definitely die, but for her sake, no one stood up to stop her. Even Old Chen could only bow his head and dare not look at the two girls with despair.

"To compensate you, I will give you 20% more food distribution next month!" The people from the Presbyterian Church left a cold sentence, hugging the little girl and a group of people up the mountain.

Stars.

Hong Yi saw countless stars, and he himself floated among this star. Just like the last time he opened the second-level brain domain of the White Star, this time Hong Yi also saw various hallucinations and saw the six paths of illusion, and then he entered this sea of ​​stars.

At this moment, Hong Yi saw a sapling appearing out of thin air from this starry sky. It took almost a few breaths and began to grow wildly.

Hong Yi knew that this was an evolutionary skill tree constructed when Bai Xing opened the third level, and building a skill tree requires mutant brain crystals.

Fortunately, Hong Yi had already prepared the brain crystals. There were more than 50 ordinary white brain crystals he had prepared before, and there were also many advanced brain crystals Hong Yi, not to mention, there were hundreds of brain crystals in the treasure demon’s pocket, which was enough for Hong Yi to consume this time.
