"Yes, but we never eat these." The little girl covered her mouth and laughed, "The eating habits of Mr. Xiangrui are really strange."

"I will go back and take the villagers to cut bamboo for you adults." The old man stood up and said.

"It's bamboo shoots."

"Yes, yes, fresh bamboo shoots."

The old man left with his granddaughter.

Not long after, Karen saw the village crowded with people, and everyone was mobilized to chop and dig bamboo shoots for Lord Xiangrui.

Karen picked up a piece of food that looked like a bun that he had taken a bite of before spitting out. He opened the food and found that it was also yellowish inside.

Immediately, Karen took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. These were the coupon cigarettes he got at the hotel at the training base in the Dingge region.

Karen picked up a cigarette, and Ventura beside him immediately took out a lighter and prepared to light it for Karen.

"I don't mean to smoke."

Karen opened the cigarette, exposing the tobacco inside, and fiddled with it a few times with her fingertips.

Everyone turned their heads to observe, and Ashley immediately said: "Why does this look like tobacco?"

Mas wondered: "It seems to be the same species?"

Ashley said in shock: "So, everyone here eats tobacco leaves?"

Karen said: "When I just took a bite, I felt that the taste was somewhat familiar. Now I am sure that the raw materials of their food are very close to the tobacco leaves of this coupon cigarette. It may not be exactly the same, but it is definitely a similar variety.

The change won't be huge.

Smoking coupon cigarettes has a stronger effect than nicotine, because it can stun your soul and give smokers a sense of intoxication.

In fact, whether it is coupon cigarettes or ordinary cigarettes, they cause great chronic harm to people, one to the soul and the other to the body.

If you eat this kind of tobacco leaves directly, the side effects will be more severe and it will cause irreversible damage to the soul."

"Then it's harmless for them to eat these foods?"

"So they will age. It stands to reason that the soul body has a process from weak to strong. For example, by absorbing soul power, it can obtain the solidification of its own soul and a certain degree of evolutionary improvement.

But which soul have you seen that ages on its own?

Even when you are about to die, you should become thinner and thinner and more transparent until you finally dissipate.

So I guess it's because of the food they eat."

"Then they don't know not to eat?" Ashley asked.

Bart shook his head and said: "No, they have no choice, because their level is too low in this world, and they have no other way to directly replenish soul power, so they can only rely on eating this to gain soul power. This is what a hungry person is doing now."

Between death and 'death of old age' in the future, most people will choose the latter."

"Bart is right, they have no other choice, so until we find a sustainable food source, everyone needs to save the food in their backpacks.

Now I suspect that we may not really be able to eat those bamboo shoots. For living people of flesh and blood like us, this world is probably a completely polluted place."

"What about the water?" Ashley asked, "Captain, is this water drinkable?"

Karen picked up the pitcher made of unknown black material, leaned over and took a sip, then spit it out, shook his head and said: "There is a smell in the water, Blanche, you use the priest spell

You can filter it.

To be on the safe side, all water you drink from now on needs to be treated by Blanche."

"Yes, Captain."

After an hour, the little girl came first, carrying a bamboo basket on her back. After sitting down, she put the basket down and took out other food from it: "Grandpa asked me to bring these food over to see if the adults

It’s edible, and what was given to the adults at first was delicate food that people in our village were reluctant to eat. These are the foods we usually eat.”

Karen picked at each one, biting a little bit, and then shook her head.

These foods have greater side effects than the tobacco leaves of ASXS cigarettes. After tasting a little bit, you will feel slight numbness on the tip of your tongue. If you really eat them, your body will probably be directly poisoned.

"Sorry, we still can't eat these."

"Then we can only wait until grandpa brings everyone back to dig bamboo shoots." The little girl smiled and put all the food back into the basket.

Ashley asked curiously: "What's your name?"

"My name is Nailu, Nailu Tajima. Our village is called Tajima Village. All the people living in the village have the same surname."

"No surname?" Ashley asked.

"There are no foreign surnames. Except for our village, other villages do not have foreign surnames. Basically, each village has one surname."

"Then you won't intermarry with other villages? Or will both men and women change their surnames after entering a new village?"

"We don't intermarry."

"No intermarriage?" Ashley's eyes widened, "Then it means they are all inbreeding?"

Mars reminded in a low voice: "As for the soul body, there seems to be no problem with inbreeding."

Ashley blinked: Yes.

But soon, a new question appeared. Ashley asked: "How do you give birth to children?"

Naru's face instantly turned red, and her body began to shake, making her grass skirt rustle.

Ashley said hurriedly: "I'm just curious about your method of giving birth."

This is not Ashley's gossip. In fact, what she asked were professional questions in the research institute. After all, her parents' job is to cherish the cultivation of monsters.

Nailu replied: "Two people, lie on the bed and hug each other. If it doesn't work for one night, just hug for two nights. If it doesn't work for two nights, just keep hugging, and then it will be fine."

Ashley said in surprise: "With a hug, you can have a baby?"

"Well, both parents will become weaker, and then a new life will be born in the mother's body. Moreover, I heard from the married sisters that it feels very comfortable to lie in bed and hug each other at night."

Ashley analyzed: "After the soul consciousness merges, a new consciousness is born, and then the soul power is separated from the two soul bodies as the basis for cultivation, and a new soul is born."

Nailu looked at Ashley and asked: "What about you, how do the adults in your family give birth to children?"

Ashley replied, "Oh, we're going to have a lot of complications and troubles."

After hearing this, Nailu asked again: "Is this comfortable?"

Ashley replied: "It depends on the person."

At this time, the old man came over carrying a bamboo basket on his back. Little girl Nailu immediately went down to help carry it. It was a large basket of bamboo shoots, but the bamboo shoots were black.

Karen picked up a bamboo shoot and took a bite. Unexpectedly, he found that even though it was not cooked, it tasted crisp, tender and sweet, just like eating fruit. It was surprisingly delicious, and there was no rejection reaction in his body and soul.

Karen took another bite and said while chewing, "It's delicious."

Everyone picked up the bamboo shoots and gnawed them like the captain. Their eyes lit up, they were crispy, delicious and delicious!

Little girl Nailu stood with her grandfather, watching a group of auspicious adults rushing to take the bamboo shoots and gnaw them with relish, and she couldn't help but smile.

Karen was eating bamboo shoots while observing the surroundings. At first, he thought that the grandfather and granddaughter were purely happy.

But gradually he noticed a sense of familiarity behind the smile.

When Karen looked at his teammates who were nibbling bamboo shoots, he finally realized where the smiles of the grandfather and grandson that made him feel familiar came from.

They,
Chapter completed!
