Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

Under the gaze of the two oppressive flames in the darkness, the leading sturdy man told everything he knew about the old liar.

However, after listening to it, Xiao Jian felt... as if he had said it.

It was basically about who the old swindler had deceived, how he was discovered, how he saved his life, and how he finally left.

There were few specific things in all these narrations, most of them were "speculation" and "heard".

However, in this place with high pressure control, there were no bars, markets or other places where people gathered. Even the god's temple of Aba was just a dark echo station - there was no need to gather there. As long as someone spoke on the echo station, most people in the valley could hear it.

However, in the sturdy man's narration, Xiao Jian only found one doubtful point:

"...Since he had been caught and was about to be executed, why was he let go?"

Xiao Jian looked at the sturdy man and asked.

"We don't know about this. The order to let him go was issued by the court..." the sturdy man replied respectfully.

"Where is the Tribunal?" Xiao Jian asked directly, but his attitude made the two strong men kneeling on the ground hesitate.

"What?"

After a long time without getting an answer, Xiao Jian couldn't help asking again.

"This... the Tribunal is at the foot of the mountain, in the deepest part of the valley."

Under Xiao Jian's coercion, another strong man couldn't help but answer.

"Oh? The deepest part?" Xiao Jian raised his eyebrows.

"It is indeed in the deepest part..." The leading strong man hurriedly replied, "But there has been no news about the Tribunal for a long time."

"Oh?" Xiao Jian suddenly remembered what the little girl said before, and asked casually, "Court of Tribunal has been eaten up by your gods?"

"..."

As soon as these words came out, the two strong men shrank their necks and remained silent for a long time without saying anything.

Xiao Jian was not in a hurry, just standing in the dark, looking into the depths of the valley...

Unfortunately, the structure of the valley was a bit complicated, so that the surrounding rock walls blocked Xiao Jian's sight, making it impossible for him to see the deepest part of the valley.

"...That's why I want to escape."

After a long silence, the leading sturdy man actually spoke.

"What!? Are you really going to betray the Lord God!?" The sturdy man next to him didn't know whether he was pretending or really shouting.

"It's not betrayal, it's to save his life... You can see that He... is getting more and more hungry."

The leading sturdy man lowered his head, and after saying this, the man next to him stopped talking and just knelt silently in front of Xiao Jian.

"Ah————"

"Ah————"

Just when the scene was in a stalemate, the screams of the thin man who had been acting as the background sound suddenly became louder and more shrill...

But soon his voice became hoarse, and finally weakened at a very fast speed.

Xiao Jian noticed this strange phenomenon and looked at the rock wall.

As a result, the wailing corpse that had just been nailed to the rock wall and should have been fresh was rapidly drying up...as if it had been dried by the wind for dozens or hundreds of years.

As for his screams and wails, of course, they also came to an abrupt end.

"Ah!? How come it's so fast!?"

"No! No, no... He, something must be wrong with Him!"

"It's sucked dry so quickly! His mind can no longer control his appetite!"

"It's over, it's all over! I said we should have run earlier..."

The leading sturdy man kneeling in front of Xiaomian slumped on the ground like an abandoned woman, his face full of confusion, decadence and despair.

The other sturdy man next to him was not much better, he didn't say anything, turned around and ran out of the valley.

"......?"

Xiao Jian scratched his head, and when he was about to ask what was going on, he saw that the sturdy man who had just run out of the valley and ran to the rock wall suddenly slowed down.

Then, his body seemed to be folded and folded randomly like a piece of white paper, and finally turned into a weird "origami art", collapsed on the ground with his mouth open, and let out a shrill wail.

"Here... He's here... It's all too late."

The leading sturdy man muttered to himself amid the wailing of his companions.

Xiao Jian naturally saw such a strange scene.

However, he did not feel any threat, nor was he affected by any characteristics.

But just after he finished his self-examination, a series of strange squeaking sounds suddenly came from the inner side of the valley in the distance.

Then, a "young bird" five or six meters tall, pink and tender, with feathers all over its exposed skin, staggered out from the depths of the valley:

——Character Card——

Abbastakrema

5 attack|0 defense|1700 health

Mobility 11

Characteristics:

[Confusion] Confuse memory, confuse cognition, confuse emotions.

[Crazy] Loss of the ability to think rationally.

[Torture] Desire to torture others, desire to torture oneself.

————

Although he didn't know what this huge "young bird" looked like before, Xiao Jian had already determined that it was definitely not in a normal state now.

To say that these 1700 health points are indeed at the level of an ordinary monster.

But the problem lies in its three characteristics...

How can someone's characteristics all have negative effects!

Compared to the weakness of the blind saint in terms of attributes and characteristics, the bird in front of him has obviously fallen into a deeper madness.

Perhaps if the blind saint continues to develop, when she loses all her characteristics, will she also become such a completely irrational walking corpse?

"Gagaga, wugaga..."

The "young bird" named Aba... Aba or something seems to have identified this direction and stumbled towards Xiao Jian.

"It's over, it's all over... We will all die, we will all die!!"

The strong man has completely lost the desire to survive, and he knelt straight on the ground, wishing to stick the horns on his head into the hard obsidian ground.

Maybe, for him, this is the end of the century.

But...

"... Bang bang bang!"

Xiao Jian took out the 56 semi-automatic rifle that was still equipped with the heavy gun assembly, raised the gun, aimed, and then smoothly pulled the trigger.

For this kind of meat target without any defense, Xiao Jian shot it so easily and happily.

After pulling the trigger three times in a row, a total of three bullets with more than 600 points of pure damage were fired, and at the same time Xiao Jian also consumed 1200 points of sunlight.

"Puff puff puff..."

After the bullet hit, the huge young bird fell directly to the ground, and the inertia of its staggering forward caused its body to continue to slide forward on the smooth obsidian ground, and it slid in front of Xiao Jian before slowly stopping.

Xiao Jian had no interest in this huge corpse, but just stretched out his hand to poke the gift box and took out three servant cards from it:

Pea shooter.

Pea shooter.

Or pea shooter...

"... So poor?" Xiao Jian was slightly stunned.

This is the first "BOSS" he killed that only produces servant cards.

Obviously, the attributes look like a fairy level, but the drop is not as good as any ordinary fairy, and even not as good as an ordinary zombie BOSS!

However... the huge corpse of the "young bird" with feathers all over it also turned into fine sand and gradually collapsed in the darkness. Countless "fine sands" gathered in the relatively low-lying areas like water.

When the entire corpse disappeared, a small piece of extremely flat gray ground had gathered on the ground.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Jian suddenly discovered that where the huge young bird died, there was a completely skeletonized bird head left there.

After reaching out his invisible hand to pick it up, Xiao Jian brought it closer and observed it carefully:

Overall, it was an ordinary bird head skull the size of a thumb.

But the problem was that only half of it was bone, and the other half had turned into a black crystalline substance.

At first, Xiao Jian just felt that this black crystalline substance was very familiar, and very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it recently.

The more he looked at it, the stranger it became. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked. Finally, Xiao Jian's body trembled:

"Hiss... What is this!?"

"Obsidian!?"

After confirming it again and again in disbelief, he found that the black crystalline substance crawling all over the bird's skull was the extremely common, ubiquitous, and even made up the entire Black Stone Mountain Range... obsidian.

This discovery suddenly made him shudder.

If the final form of the bird head in his hand is obsidian... then what about the entire Black Stone Mountain Range?

"Dead, dead... Lord... dead!?"

Behind Xiao Jian, the leading Zhuang Han's voice was full of disbelief.

"... Maybe it has died a long time ago." Xiao Jian played with the bird's head, and suddenly thought of the blind saint for no reason.

No wonder she said that something was corroding her, forcing her to survive by weakening herself - that's right! This virus-like obsidian can only keep cutting off the affected area to cut off the tail to survive!

But the problem is that this erosion continues all the time! No matter how hard he tries to survive, he will eventually be corrupted and lose his mind, and eventually become a monster that acts on instinct.

"Your court of justice is probably gone. Do you know who is more informed? Take me to see..."

While Xiao Jian was talking to him, the wailing of the strong man who had just escaped had not stopped.

And the only strong man left also looked back with lingering fear.

Although he didn't see anything, his actions fell into Xiao Jian's eyes.

"What? Do you still want to save him?"

Xiao Jian asked.

Because he had seen the attributes of the strong man who escaped - he had been turned into a puppet that could only wail in an instant, and there was no way to restore it - at least Xiao Jian did not have such power yet.

"I know... I just... Alas." As executioners who turned countless people into wailing puppets, the two of them had countless lives.

But now, he himself has become a wailing puppet... It must be said that this ending made the strong man who was also an executioner feel chilling.

"Let's go, take me to find some people who are in charge... huh?"

Xiao Jian had just taken a step when he suddenly felt his feet go soft.

Looking down, he saw that the "mud and sand" that the monster's flesh and blood had just turned into had continued to disintegrate into very fine soil.

Gray soil.

And the color and physical properties of this thing also made Xiao Jian feel very familiar.

After carefully combing through his memories of this period, Xiao Jian finally remembered-isn't this the plaster mine! ? Isn't this the plaster mine that Hopper and his team discovered! ?

Oh my god! !

Is this how the plaster mine was formed! ?

Looking at the small piece of plaster mine that had just formed under his feet, Xiao Jian was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

How was the acid lake formed? Could it be...

Damn it!

This damn place...

Xiao Jian suddenly remembered what the blind saint called this land when she was on the verge of madness.

Hell.

It really is hell.

It turns out that the plaster mine on which the indigenous people depend for survival was formed by the bodies of "gods" who died of madness! ?

No, from the perspective of reserves, this is a bit impossible.

After all, the number of "gods" is far less than that of the indigenous people, and relying on their bodies is no way to support so many indigenous people.

But the question is, is it really only the bodies of "gods" that can be turned into plaster mines?

What about ordinary people?

What about the great ones?

And...

... Where are the Ancients?

Xiao Jian was shocked!

He seemed to have figured out why the giant axe that he had dismantled in the Windy Canyon was so fragile, and why it had the ability to keep the wind going all year round.

Perhaps, the giant axe was not a giant axe at all, but a part of the body of a super-large giant god! ?

Shoulder blade? Or some other bone?

And then it became the same as in the Windy Canyon under constant corrosion?

But... that's not right!

If the owner of the giant axe really died there, then there should be a huge amount of plaster around the Windy Canyon!

"... That's right..."

"What did you say!?"

Xiao Jian accidentally said what he was thinking, and then the strong man behind him hurriedly asked.

"Nothing... No, I was wondering if there had been a huge plaster around the Windy Canyon?"

Xiao Jian asked with his head tilted.

"I don't know about this, but... when I was a kid, I seemed to have heard that there was a mortar mine that was full of food. No one needed to work. They got up every day to have children, ate when they were hungry, and slept when they were tired..."

"But that's just a beautiful story. I don't think it's true... Is it true?" The strong man asked cautiously.

"..."

After hearing this "fairy tale", Xiao Jian gradually made a positive judgment about this matter in his heart.

Maybe... it really happened!

"Do you think the story happened before or after the advent of the saint?" Xiao Jian thought about it and asked this question.

"Of course it happened before! And it must have been a long, long time ago... Otherwise, they would have taken the mortar mine to the Saint Peak to trade for other things!"

The strong man reasoned with his own logic.

I have to say, it makes sense.

"... Let's go, take me to find someone." Xiao Jian was silent for a while, then stepped over the mortar mine and walked into the depths of the valley with the strong man.

...
