Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

"Ah--no--"

"No, don't take that thing out..."

"Get out! Get out!"

"God, save me!"

"..."

The two horned strong men held the thin man like they were handling livestock, tied his hands and feet skillfully, then took out an obsidian dagger they carried with them and gestured on the thin man's chest.

Xiao Jian landed quietly on the hillside next to him, looking down at the scene happening below.

He was a little surprised before, because there was no trace of "nails" on the bodies nailed to the rock wall.

It was as if they were hung on this cliff out of thin air.

When one of the horned strong men took out the obsidian dagger, Xiao Jian's doubts were immediately solved:

[Howling Stake]

It makes the nailed person suffer endless pain, forcing him to keep wailing until he dies.

...

The seemingly ordinary obsidian dagger turned out to be a relic!

Although the properties of this relic are not very good, and can even be said to be completely negative, the problem is that it should be mass-produced!

Xiao Jian carefully observed the other corpses hanging on the cliff, and indeed found daggers in the chests of some completely dried corpses.

"Please, please... don't nail me up!"

"... You will die a miserable death! Both of you will die a miserable death!"

"I curse you!"

"I curse Abbastakrema!"

"You will fall into the endless hell and suffer the torture of the fire of hell..."

"..."

The thin man struggled and cursed frantically, but the two horned strong men were still talking and laughing:

"Look, he dared to curse Lord Abbastakrema, he is indeed a false believer."

"How could the screening machine go wrong? I said long ago that he must be an unsteady believer."

"I don't know if the wailing of this false believer will please the Lord God..."

"I don't care whether it can please me, I only care how long he can hold on. Now it is getting harder and harder to catch this unbeliever. The disaster stone tribe in the south has surrounded him. The scattered villages surrounded by the siege have been killed almost completely... If this continues, we will either have to fight the disaster stone head-on or go to the Holy Maiden Peak to capture people. "

"The saint of the Holy Maiden Peak seems to be the Great One... She hasn't appeared for a long time, right?"

"Indeed, she may have weakened to the point where she can't keep her sanity, right?"

"Huh? If that's true, then the Lord God may be able to get a share..."

"Ha! Let's think about how to face the disaster stone! And share... It's still unclear whether he can beat the guy behind the disaster stone now! The Great One is still the Great One no matter how weak he is!"

"Hiss, how can you talk like that! If the people of the Tribunal find out, you will be the next one to be nailed up!"

"...Actually, I'm thinking, should I find a chance to slip away?" The horned strong man holding the obsidian dagger suddenly lowered his voice.

"Escape? What do you mean? Going to be a refugee?"

"Well... or just go to Saint Maiden Peak to seek the protection of Saint Maiden."

"Huh?" The other horned man was stunned when he heard this. He didn't even notice that the thin man in his hand had escaped from his hand.

"No matter how great the saint is, she must live longer than our gods, right? After all, there are basic rules there, and here we are..."

Having said this, the horned man holding the obsidian dagger grabbed the thin man back, then pinched his neck and pressed him against the rock wall. The obsidian dagger smoothly inserted into the thin man's chest, and then successfully penetrated the rock wall, nailing the thin man to the rock wall.

"...Ah————"

The thin man couldn't speak after his chest was pierced, but after being nailed to the rock wall, he strangely regained his vitality and opened his mouth involuntarily to wail loudly.

"You... do you really think our god won't live long?" another horned strong man asked in a low voice.

"What else? Look at his recent state. He can't stand the thirst for a few days... If this continues, we will be nailed to the ground sooner or later."

"..."

After these words came out, the two people fell silent at the same time.

Only the wailing of the thin man echoed in the valley.

After watching a big show, Xiao Jian couldn't help but feel a little worried about the tribe of the "old liar".

What if he had already become a corpse on the rock wall, wouldn't the clue be completely cut off?

Xiao Jian did not alarm the two strong men who were hesitating on the rock wall, and directly spread his wings and flew to the cave group behind them.

In this dark place without light, in addition to the more common [thermal vision], the creatures here are also very sensitive to sound.

The body of Xiao Jian's clone is a ball of plasticine, so there is no heat source at all, so it can be invisible from [thermal vision].

But as for the sound, even though he was very careful, he still couldn't completely silence it.

So, at the moment when Xiao Jian glided down, a half-human-tall girl suddenly raised her head, looked in the direction where Xiao Jian landed, and whispered: "Who's there?"

Xiao Jian folded his wings and looked over...

Suddenly, the two points of fire hidden in his eyes were noticed by the little girl.

"Ah..."

The moment she saw the light, the half-human-tall little girl was stunned, because she had never really seen fire or light.

Xiao Jian thought about it, took two steps forward and lifted her by the back of the neck, and then walked into the cave behind her.

"Woo..."

The half-human-tall little girl struggled and waved her limbs like a frightened cat, but her tender claws and teeth could not break the defense at all.

Xiao Jian's current defense is a terrifying 15 points, and his clone also has 5 points! Not to mention using claws and teeth, even if he was besieged by [Succubus], he would not lose blood.

However, Xiao Jian did not let her struggle for too long. He took out a piece of frosted bread and stuffed it into her mouth.

"...Hmm?"

The little girl struggled a few times at first, but she immediately quieted down after tasting the sweetness.

It must be said that the effect of using sweets as silencers is really good.

"Are you a follower of Aba... Aba who?" Xiao Jian asked while looking around.

The cave was not deep, and the furnishings inside were also very simple - some bone tools of unknown function, a small pile of round fine sand, and a large obsidian tank for holding water.

And then there was nothing.

There were only these things in the small cave.

Xiao Jian observed the bone tools with interest, but did not find anything strange, and could not guess what they were used for.

"Hmm."

The little girl swallowed the frosted bread that filled her mouth, and then responded.

"What are those bones used for?" Xiao Jian asked curiously.

"...It's work." The little girl answered honestly.

"Work? What does that mean?"

"Tie them up, do this, do that... and then hand them in, and you can get food."

The little girl described it for a long time, but Xiao Jian still didn't understand it. If she could add some body movements, it might be more vivid for Xiao Jian to understand. Unfortunately, in this dark world without light, the indigenous people living there have completely lost their body language, and they don't have any extra movements when talking.

In short, this should be what the "god" Aba Aba needs, right?

Xiao Jian carefully observed these bone tools again, and even strengthened some of the effects of [Breaking Confusion].

Unfortunately, these bones still didn't have any attributes popped up...

If that Aba Aba was also a great one, Xiao Jian would think that these bone tools had some anti-reconnaissance characteristics.

But from all indications, that Aba Aba was not very powerful, so most of these bone tools in front of him were just ordinary items.

Or, are they just semi-finished products that have not been deeply processed?

Xiao Jian thought about it and asked about the deeds of the old liar.

However, although Xiao Jian had described the appearance of the old liar in detail, he did not get any response.

"... I don't know."

The little girl answered expressionlessly with her mouth full of frosted bread.

"That's right." Xiao Jian sighed.

He suddenly found a problem - the information obtained at the Holy Maiden Peak was obviously not applicable to other places!

After all, the Holy Maiden Peak was one of the few places covered by fire, and the eyes there were not just for show.

But the problem is that once you leave the Holy Maiden Peak, all the so-called appearance characteristics will lose their meaning.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask." Xiao Jian sighed and prepared to leave.

"What's this called?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

"Which one?" Xiao Jian turned around and asked.

"This! This... sweet thing, what's it called?"

The little girl still had no expression on her face, but it could be seen that she was a little anxious.

"This is called... frosted bread."

"Frosted bread..." The little girl learned the term word by word.

"Frosted bread...delicious."

The little girl smiled.

Although she had been in darkness all her life, she had never seen her smile.

But that didn't stop her from smiling.

"Yes, it's delicious." Xiao Jian smiled and handed over another one.

"You eat it first, and I'll ask others."

After Xiao Jian said that, he was about to turn around and leave, but the little girl said again: "Don't go, don't go deep, there are gods in the deep!"

"...Oh? That god like Aba, is in the deepest place?" Xiao Jian asked.

"The gods are scary and will eat people...Don't go to the deepest part." The little girl repeated persistently.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you."

This time, Xiao Jian finally left, but the little girl who was only half a person's height did not call him again. She just groped her way back to the pile of sand and nudged the middle of the sand pile with the frosted bread in her arms.

It turned out that this pile of sand was her bed! The little girl held the frosted bread and made a satisfied sound in her throat.

"Hulu... Hulu..."

...

After coming out of the cave, Xiao Jian thought about it and decided to ask the two strong men with horns on their heads.

After all, they have more knowledge and seem to be managers of some size. Maybe they know the news about the old liar.

However, the two strong men did not come back directly, but hid under the rock wall in the distance and muttered. They did not seem to move in the short term.

Xiao Jian simply flew directly in front of them and landed.

"Who!?"

The two strong men stopped talking at the same time, and pulled out the obsidian daggers from their waists and pointed them in the direction of Xiao Jian.

Although they couldn't see Xiao Jian with their [thermal vision], they could keenly discover what was standing in front of them through the flow of air.

Xiao Jian took a look at the obsidian dagger they had just taken out - this thing was indeed mass-produced! So much so that these two people were equipped with more than one! ?

"I'm here to find someone..." Xiao Jian looked at the two strong men, and the fire in his eyes was also seen by the two strong men at the same time.

"Hiss... Sorry, I'm sorry... May I ask who you are?"

The moment they saw the [Broken Wandering] fire, the two strong men put away their daggers and knelt on the ground at the same time, and even the horns on their heads were almost stuck in the ground.

Xiao Jian recognized that the person who spoke was the one who had made the thin man into a wailing ornament cleanly before.

"You can call me... Flame Eye." Xiao Jian scratched his head, officially acknowledging the vest Hopper gave him.

"Master Flame Eye."

The two repeated Xiao Jian's words again, and then crawled deeper, with the horns on their heads rubbing against the hard obsidian ground, making slight creaking sounds.

It was not until then that Xiao Jian realized that kneeling was not their purpose, but rubbing the ground with their horns - this was also to show submission, but kneeling was a visual signal, while rubbing the ground with the horns on their heads was an audio signal.

"You don't even know who I am, why are you so respectful?" Xiao Jian asked in a strange way.

"Your greatness was deeply engraved in the depths of my soul the moment I saw your eyes..."

The sturdy man in the lead praised in a mushy way.

"..."

Xiao Jian touched his arm - there were already goose bumps there.

Damn, being confessed to in person turned out to be like this, eh...

"I'm looking for someone who was expelled from the Holy Maiden Peak..."

As he said that, Xiao Jian described the appearance of the old liar a little.

"...Ah? It's him?" The leading sturdy man was slightly stunned. "We have an impression of the person you are talking about, but he has been gone for a long time."

"Left? Do you know where he went?"

"I don't know..."

The leading sturdy man answered.

"What about his tribe? Did they leave too?" Xiao Jian asked.

"Tribe? I don't know... Anyway, he left alone. I don't know he has any tribe." The leading sturdy man was also stunned.

"..."

Obviously, the intelligence had some unexpected deviations again, but fortunately this time Xiao Jian finally found the right place.

"Tell me about him, tell me everything you know."

Xiao Jian frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that tracking an old liar would be so difficult.

"Yes..."

...
