But everyone who passed by Yang Yu's wooden house walked to the edge of the road and deliberately avoided Yang Yu's wooden house.
Yang Yu had a faint smile on his face, and he became more interested in reading.
Just go ahead and pretend, I'll see how long you can last.
Yang Yu took out a bunch of spiritual fruits, elixirs, and ordinary spiritual weapons from the ancient world from his storage ring and placed them all next to the wooden house, completely unguarded.
Before noon, the villagers gradually came back, still avoiding Yang Yu's wooden house and walking to the edge.
The villagers stay in the house for two or three incense sticks, and then go out to work in the fields at noon when the sunlight is at its brightest.
Yang Yu didn't even look at them. He just read his novel and ate the spiritual fruit.
The dazzling array of fruits and vegetables exuded an enticing aroma, and the fragrance of medicinal elixirs spread throughout the entire village and extended to the edges of the fields. It could be smelled clearly throughout the entire area. Any cultivator could feel this rich medicinal aroma.
Finally, in the evening, the villagers came back one after another, passed by Yang Yu’s wooden house and walked to the edge.
Yang Yu squinted his eyes and saw some villagers hiding at the end of the road. Several of them were standing there in a tangled manner, seemingly discussing something.
At this time, the villagers passing by Yang Yu’s wooden house did not walk so firmly. They walked slowly by, squirming reluctantly, and finally left reluctantly.
Yang Yu was calm and composed, leaning back in a recliner, supporting his face with one hand, his right knee bent, his right hand resting on it, and looking at the villagers who were reluctant to leave with a playful look in his eyes.
Many people had struggle in their eyes, and their expressions were no longer as firm as they were this morning.
"I don't know what you are insisting on. Do people in this world have these things? You don't get the chance to make suggestions, but you give up when you grab them. Could it be that you have made enemies in the ancient world? Are you afraid that your enemies will come to this world to kill you?"
Yang Yu curled the corner of his mouth and sneered coldly.
This sentence seemed to break the last bit of peace. The villagers who were walking beside the wooden house stopped in their tracks, and their struggling eyes finally met Yang Yu's eyes for the first time.
"Where are you from anyway?"
An old man in coarse linen clothes was holding a walking stick, with some arrogance still on his body. He looked at Yang Yu with his cloudy eyes and said the first sentence.
"You are monks who came here from the ancient world, but you couldn't find a way to leave here, and now you are trapped here?"
Yang Yu asked instead of answering, still looking at the other person leisurely.
When he was observing from the top of the mountain, he had already seen clearly that these people were definitely not ordinary villagers. Each of them had spiritual power in their bodies, and some of them were at a high level. It was impossible for them to farm like ordinary villagers.
Unless you have to.
"It doesn't matter why we stay here. What matters is how you get out after you get in."
The old man couldn't stand being ridiculed by Yang Yu and stomped heavily on the cane in his hand.
"You are too impatient and irritable. You are not worthy of being the one who makes the decisions for you. Find someone who can have a calm conversation with you."
Yang Yu smiled teasingly.
"You are a young man who doesn't know how to respect your elders. Don't think you can do anything. When we first came here, we were just like you. We thought we could become the king of this world and find a way to enter the immortal ruins. But now we are trapped here. We even have to work everywhere according to the habits of mortals every day in order to hide the fact that we were once cultivators. It really makes me angry."
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but was stopped by the people next to him.
A middle-aged man slowly walked out of the crowd, "Okay, Mr. Wang, you are too old and still so hot-tempered, be careful not to hurt yourself."
"Don't say that. I'm old, but I'm less than 10,000 years old. There's no need for you to worry about my health."
Mr. Wang shook off the people around him and left the scene without looking back.
Yang Yu's mind moved slightly, and he looked at the middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
"Are you the person in charge? I hope you won't be as excited as that old man just now, otherwise our conversation won't be able to continue, and your chance to leave here will disappear, and you will be trapped here forever."
The middle-aged man remained calm and was not moved at all by Yang Yu's words.
"Just be frank. What do you want to know? What do you want to gain from us? What can you offer in exchange? Once you have made these clear, our conversation can officially begin."
"Heh, as someone trapped here, you're still so temperamental. It seems I still underestimated your brains. Maybe you've been kicked by a cow or a donkey over the years. In short, you're all crazy and not very smart."
Yang Yu laughed a few times, raised his hand to collect the pills and spiritual fruits on the table, put away the chair and prepared to return to the wooden house.
The surrounding villagers immediately showed a look of reluctance, as if they wanted to snatch Yang Yu's storage ring and take out the elixirs and spiritual fruits inside in the next second.
The middle-aged man's fingers twitched, and at the last moment when Yang Yu was about to enter the house, he stopped Yang Yu.
"Okay, I can tell you our secrets, but you will have to pay a price accordingly, such as those elixirs and spiritual fruits."
"If you have something to say, then we can discuss it. Don't always have a stern face. Things are different now. I don't care who you were before."
Yang Yu sneered a few times and threw out some spiritual fruits from his storage ring.
The middle-aged man hurriedly took it, feeling the spiritual energy of the spiritual fruit in his hand and the long-lost sense of familiarity. His heart, which had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but beat, and his stiff face changed color with joy.
"My name is Zhou Dong, and I am the branch president of the Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce in the ancient continent. My friend, if there is really a way to take us out, I can tell you all the secrets here and everything we have obtained."
Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce?!
what?
Yang Yu was surprised and his movements slowed down a bit.
I didn't expect to find Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce at the entrance of this immortal ruins.
160 mist
“How many years ago did you come in?”
Yang Yu became interested and took out a card from the storage space.
"About a thousand years ago..."
As soon as Zhou Dong opened his mouth, he noticed Yang Yu's actions and the card in his hand that was so familiar to him.
"This is the VIP card of Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce. You actually have it..."
Zhou Dong's eyes widened, finding it hard to believe.
He never expected that he would see VIPs from Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce in this world.
"Indeed, I was also surprised. I didn't expect to meet people from Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce here. You guys really are everywhere."
Yang Yu threw the card in his hand to Zhou Dong.
Zhou Dong took it with some trembling, and looked at the card in his hand, the expression on his face could not calm down for a long time.
The surrounding villagers, or rather the people from the Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce, all showed some loneliness and emotion on their faces.
I never thought that after entering this world for a thousand years and being trapped in this world for a thousand years, I would still have the opportunity to see the Chamber of Commerce's VIP card.
"This is indeed the VIP card of my Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce, but your VIP card has not been fully activated and has not been registered with the headquarters. It should be issued by someone under the president of a branch. Although it has the rights of a VIP card, to some extent, it is far inferior to a real VIP card and is only valid in one area."
Zhou Dong stroked the VIP card, sighed in his heart, and returned it to Yang Yu.
"Since you are a distinguished guest of Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce, there is more meaning for a transaction between us."
"Let's talk about it. I don't know this world as well as you do."
Yang Yu signaled Zhou Dong to come into the house.
"it is good."
Zhou Dong readily agreed.
The two men entered the wooden house, and the people from the Zhoutian Chamber of Commerce who had been around for a thousand years gradually dispersed.
The sun was setting in the west, and as the sky darkened completely, a strange white mist suddenly appeared in the village.
The fog gradually became thicker, and the visible range of the naked eye also decreased sharply, and finally it was completely white. It was clearly a dark night, but I could only see white in front of me. A strange feeling of confusion that was different from the darkness arose spontaneously.
Thick white fog stayed around the cabin and did not invade inside.
Seeing this, Zhou Dong sighed and closed the window.
"This world is truly terrifying. Over the past thousand years, this strange fog has swallowed up batch after batch of people. No one can survive in this fog."
"What are these mists?
There was some surprise in Yang Yu's eyes. This was the first time that he did not close the window after dark and truly saw the changes in the world after dark.
"These mists are rules, the rules set by this world."
Zhou Dong said in a deep voice.
"rule…"
Yang Yu repeated silently.
Indeed, it is like some kind of specific rule that you are not allowed to leave the house at night, but other than that, you can do anything.
Zhou Dong took out a tattered map from his arms and placed it on the table, with memories welling up in his eyes.
"1000 years ago, I brought people from my Chamber of Commerce to this mortal world in search of the remains of the immortals. We discovered that the people here had very low cultivation levels. The highest level was only at the initial stage of foundation building, and the lowest level of the people I brought was at the late stage of consolidating the foundation. This meant that we swept the entire world in a very short period of time and found many things that did not exist in the ancient world. We were very happy with our gains at the time, and we believed that we would soon find the entrance to the immortal ruins, obtain the immortal's items, and even find many legendary things."
"But what followed was a nightmare, an unimaginable catastrophe..."
A trace of fear appeared on Zhou Dong's face. Even after a thousand years, that fear had not completely disappeared from his heart.
"That day, after we had searched the entire world and found so many things, the sky gradually darkened. But we didn't think much of it at the time. We never thought that darkness would bring anything."
"It was not until the sky was completely dark and a thick white fog appeared that we realized something was wrong. The white fog swallowed everything, leaving nothing behind. When there were fewer and fewer people around us and no one attacked us, we realized that the white fog could kill people. It left behind countless bodies that were terrified and then torn to pieces."
"Finally, one of our companions discovered that hiding in the house could avoid the white fog, and we all survived."
When Yang Yu heard this, his brows slightly frowned.
It seems that the mortality rate of people leaving the house after dark is not 100%. If there is some kind of creature in the white fog, then this creature at least does not instantly kill all the people who leave the house after nightfall, but there is a sequence of order.
If it is not a certain creature, but the specific killing mechanism of this white fog, then there is also a rule that the killing conditions must be met first.
"After what happened on the first night, we thought that as long as we found a safe house to stay in when night fell, nothing would happen. But in fact, the nightmare had just begun."
"We began to feel very sleepy, and once we succumbed to the sleepiness and fell asleep, endless nightmares would appear, and the painful torture would begin. We were skinned and slashed, eaten alive, fried, pierced, and watched ourselves chop open our own internal organs and eat them... All kinds of physical torture were so painful in the dream that it seemed to reach the soul directly."
"And one night in the dream is equivalent to a whole month."
When Zhou Dong said this, the expression on his face became uglier and his face became paler.
He rolled up his right sleeve, revealing his right arm.
Under the dim flame of the oil lamp, a terrible scar ran through the entire arm.
And this scar is unusually fresh, not like an old wound.
Yang Yu narrowed his eyes. From the freshness of the scar, he could tell that it might have appeared last night.
