Ignoring their conversation, Xu Ye looked at the gathering place casually.
The gathering place is located in the valley, with houses built of bricks and stones standing in a row, like a small town. It can be seen that this gathering place has developed for a long time.
Hanyang glanced at Xu Ye and said to the person next to him: "Take him to rest."
The man didn't ask Xu Ye's identity, took Xu Ye into the gathering place, and arranged a separate room for him.
Xu Ye didn't wander around here. He was a little tired from wandering on the sea for several days, so he lay down on the bed and started to rest.
The people in this gathering place became busy and began to carry the goods on the ship, and soon night came. Because the Hanyang fleet returned safely and brought back a large amount of supplies, a dinner was held at their gathering place in the evening.
, Xu Ye was also invited to participate.
Eating the coconut-like fruit, Xu Ye felt in a trance. This gathering place really had an atmosphere unique to peaceful times.
However, at this time, Xu Ye frowned and sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose. He smelled a strange smell. The smell came from the glass of wine in front of him. At the same time, there seemed to be a bloody smell that enveloped the valley.
Above.
Xu Ye didn't usually have the habit of drinking. He raised his head and looked at Wang Jie across from him and said, "It's best not to drink this drink. Besides, it may be poisonous. Let your people be careful."
"What?" Wang Jie was stunned, a little confused.
Xu Ye shook his head. He picked up the glass of wine and poured it on the ground. As a result, the wine was scattered on the ground. It was squirming as if alive, and it continued to spread around, like small mouths opening and closing.
Swallowing everything around it.
This scene made Wang Jie's face change. The expressions of the other people at the same table with Xu Ye were extremely ugly. One of the men even dug his throat hard with his fingers. He drank the drink before, and now he can't wait to even feel his stomach.
Swallow it out together.
But no matter how much he vomited, he couldn't spit out the wine. Instead, his face gradually turned into pain. The wine expanded and spread crazily in his body, trying to swallow up all his internal organs. After a while,
For a while, he was rolling on the ground in pain.
"This is not poison, it is a juice extracted from a mutated plant, which has the ability to swallow flesh and blood." The others wanted to help the man, but there was no way. Wang Jie had a solemn look on his face.
In this Xiang'ao area, one-third of the area is covered by vegetation. After the end of the world, some of these vegetation mutated into plant mutant beasts, and some mutated and became highly poisonous or had other abilities.
This drink is mixed with juice extracted from a plant called the Devouring Demon Flower.
Within half a minute, the man stopped moving. All the internal organs and intestines in his stomach were completely swallowed up by the juice of the Devouring Demon Flower.
"It's... the juice of the Devouring Demonic Flower. The wine is poisonous!"
"Ah! Help me! Help!"
At this time, among the people holding a banquet in the valley, some who drank the wine screamed in pain.
The rest of the people could not believe what was happening in front of them. For a moment, they looked at the people rolling on the ground, and they were all a little at a loss.
"Damn it, who poisoned the wine?" Hanyang stood up from his seat, a little frightened and angry, and he smashed the wine glass in front of him on the ground.
If he hadn't been so good at drinking, he might have ended up like those who drank alcohol.
The man surnamed Yu looked gloomy: "Who is so vicious? Put the juice of mutated plants into the wine?"
"Looking for the people who prepared the food. I remember the person in charge of the warehouse is Hu Zhongliu. Where are the others?"
Some people even shouted with murderous intent. The food and drinks were guarded by specialized personnel, and these drinks were guarded by a man named Hu Zhongliu where they gathered. This matter must have something to do with him.
"He...he seems to be missing." Someone said in an anxious voice.
The entire valley was filled with a strange smell, and some people said in fear: "Blood... the smell of blood, such a strong smell of blood!
Xu Ye watched this scene in silence. He didn't know exactly what happened, but he knew it was definitely not a good thing.
"Quick, go see where this bloody smell comes from." Han Yang led a group of people to search in the valley, and soon found the source of the bloody smell following the increasingly thick smell of blood.
"It's underground." A powerful awakened person quickly determined the location. There was a smell of blood coming out of the ground all around the valley. Everyone immediately started digging, and soon dug out blood-red fruits from the ground.
Standing in the distance, Xu Ye could clearly see that the fruit had a strange feeling, while Wang Jie stood up with some fear. He could feel that there was a danger approaching.
"Who planted these fruits? There must be a traitor among us." The man surnamed Yu looked ugly.
Their gathering place is located in a dense forest valley, which can be said to be very hidden. Since the establishment of the gathering place, it has not been threatened by the outside world.
But now that there are more people in their gathering place, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will sneak in.
"What's the sound?" Hanyang's ears suddenly twitched and he looked up to the sky. Above the sky, there was a man flying in the wind over the valley.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, everyone's lips twitched, realizing that all these strange situations were caused by the man in front of them.
"My lord, Wang Siming, this is the first time we meet. I'm a bit annoyed." The man smiled at the people in the valley.
"Are you Wang Siming?" Hanyang was a little surprised by the man's identity, and then roared at the man in the sky, "What do you mean? Our Chaoyang gathering place and your Ghost Lake gathering place are not in conflict with each other, why do you instigate people to attack us?"
His wine was poisoned?"
"I'm sorry, but someone has to start the trouble first, right? Besides, in this world, only the strong can survive."
The man named Wang Siming looked to be in his early thirties. His eyes were narrow and narrow, giving people a sinister look.
"Ghost Lake Gathering Place? Wang Siming?" Many people became uneasy after hearing the conversation between the two.
"Who is he?" Xu Ye looked at Wang Jie and asked curiously.
Wang Jie had a look of fear on his face: "Wang Siming, he is the leader of the Ghost Lake gathering place. They are not many in number, but each of them is a powerful awakener. It is said that there has never been a fixed camp, wandering around, watching.
When going to other gathering places, they will find ways to plunder and kill. Not long ago, several nearby gathering places were destroyed. I heard that it was Wang Siming who did it. Their Ghost Lake gathering place is full of bad people, attacking and plundering others wantonly."
