I live in a desert island property

"These are the rules! If you don't follow the rules and let Lao Baye die in the village, maybe the next moment, he will..." the leader of the old man's voice lowered, and suddenly said in surprise, "He will just cheat Dead body!!"

"Mr. Guo, stop scaring the children." A middle-aged man said.

The leader of the old man also calmed down and said: "This is not a threat. One day, I will die, and I need to abide by the rules and feed me to the earth god."

"Don't be afraid. These are rules. Rules that have been followed from generation to generation. You must abide by them."

Seemingly seeing that the children were a little scared, the old man added: "The earth god in red has lived for two hundred years. He has been guarding the village and bringing us peace."

This is actually not guarding, but... feeding the village, right?

Many people are muttering in their hearts that the monster regards everyone as food, so it will naturally protect its food.

"But you don't know, that Earth God... is actually an ancient ancestor." The old man revealed another secret.

"When our ancestors moved here, there were no local gods to protect us. We were frightened every night, and children disappeared every now and then."

"So we can only create a local god ourselves."

Tuhuang is a local word, which almost means "local guardian" or "local god".

Human energy is limited, but monster energy is unlimited.

The patrol team of strong men also has moments of negligence. If they encounter a "ghost", they are no match at all. No matter how many people are involved, they will die.

In the face of the strange tiger's gaze, creating a powerful "earth god" is the best way for local creatures to survive.

Because Tuhuang is not afraid of "ghosts" or other monsters!

"When someone dies, if the body is intact, it may transform into a corpse within half an hour." The old man recalled the original situation, "If it is vicious and violent and eats people directly when it comes up, then it has no chance of becoming a earth god. All I can do is think of a way to hack him to death!"

"The earth god that just turned into a corpse is not strong. A few strong men can still defeat it. It must be completely dismembered to avoid resurrecting."

Not only the children, but also the men turned pale and licked their dry lips.

The creatures living in this land are actually used to ups and downs. They are not afraid of blood and cruelty, but dismembering the bodies of their loved ones always makes them feel uncomfortable.

The old man added: "If the monster behind the corpse shows signs of hesitation and vigilance, and has that subtle intelligence, it is possible for him to become a earth god... The one in red clothes... is an old man. It’s an ancestor that has passed away, but it has become increasingly uncontrollable in recent years, hey!”

"If one day it loses control of its wild nature and wants to attack the village, we will have to fight it."

As the sound of chewing gradually stopped, "Lao Ba Ye" completely disappeared from the world.

Everyone felt sad. When they thought that they would end up being killed by monsters, they felt extremely sad.

The cleverest child asked: "Village Chief Guo, why does the 'resurrection from the dead' happen?"

"These are the rules!" Mr. Guo's expression became serious and he snorted, "Don't go after the rules! Anyone who goes after the rules will all die!"

Then, his expression softened slightly and he stopped scaring the children: "According to legend, the earth god can connect to the underworld. If it eats it, you can reach the underworld and be reincarnated into another, better world."

"If you are not eaten, you will become a lonely ghost and you will not be able to reincarnate even if you want to, so don't be afraid, just abide by the rules."

"Let's go, we are all here, let's catch some seafood and go back."

The reason they formed villages here was because they were close to the sea and had abundant food, so they had no worries about food.

And they also operate a salt field, and salt is a really good thing.

There was a tide yesterday. After the salt pond was filled, the salt workers had to accurately measure the salt content in the brine.

The method is very simple. Break off a two-inch long tree branch from the shrubs next to the salt pond, peel off the outer skin and place it in the brine. The branch will float on the water, which means that the salt in the brine is already very concentrated.

On the contrary, if there is not enough salt in the brine, the small tree branches will sink until the depth of enough salt is reached. This small tree strip that can test the salt concentration is a tree called "Yellow Fish Crab", which is found only in places with salt fields. It is quite magical.

There are many fish in the shallow sea area not far away, and the fish caught must be dissected and dried immediately, or salted.

In addition, you can also catch some delicious food on the beach, such as shells and kelp, which can be eaten by boiling them in water. The smaller the species, the less likely it is to form a monster after death, so shells are considered very safe food. , children can also collect independently.

"Abba, what is the world across the sea?" A boy with black hair and yellow skin grabbed a basket of shells and small crabs and looked towards the seaside from a distance.

There was still light in his eyes.

"The sea has no boundaries, and the sea is the sea. The continent we are on is the very center of the ocean, called the Burial World. The ocean is infinitely vast, and anyone who wants to explore the edges of the ocean will die. Across the ocean, there is still the sea , is a place of death and silence, not the other side.”

The strong man sighed, and his eyes had long forgotten that there was no light.

When he was a child, like his son, he had all kinds of weird ideas and wanted to know the truth about the world.

He even traveled to more distant places, studied and dug ancient ruins!

But the world is a big place with many dangers and horrors. The more you know, the faster you will die!

As time went by, after witnessing the terrible truth and knowing the power of "rules", he developed a deep respect for the world.

He gave up exploring nature and chose to become an ordinary farmer and live a peaceful life in the village. This may be the last choice for most explorers...

As for the remaining explorers, they were all dead.

There are too many reasons to count.

"Abba, then... what is that thing? Is it moving on the grassland?" The little boy suddenly pointed at a black shadow on the grassland.

"what?"

"It seemed like... a ship? Wow! It disappeared all of a sudden!" The twelve-year-old boy rubbed his eyes.

"Boy, your head is broken, how can the boat sail on the grassland." Another uncle who was fishing came over and whispered, "This place was hit by a disaster yesterday, and there were a lot of bones on the grassland. "

"There are also skulls... they may be bitten human bones. I don't know what race they are. Oh, how pitiful they are."

His eyes lit up again: "What is this... an ancient giant clam? It died on the roadside, it seems that it was strangled to death!"

"It's pitiful...someone was eaten."

A large group of villagers watched for a while next to the big toad with its tongue sticking out.

This "ancient giant clam" is full of treasures. The venom glands on the surface of its skin are highly poisonous. When attached to a sword, it can achieve higher lethality.

The thigh meat of the giant toad is very strong and non-toxic, making it a good food.

It's just that this toad ate a human just yesterday and died on the beach. There was still undigested human flesh in its stomach, so it was inappropriate to eat it again.

Although the village is not rich, it is not so poor that it must eat this dead toad.

So the head of the old village chief asked people to collect some venom glands, performed some rituals, and burned the bones and dead toads.

"The Supreme Lord's decree is to transcend your lonely soul, all ghosts and ghosts, and be blessed by all the four living beings. Those with heads will be transcended, those without heads will be promoted, kill with spears and knives, dive into water and hang on ropes..."

"Ashes return to ashes, soil returns to dust, noise returns to the wild cliffs, silence returns to the flowers... Rest in peace, everyone."

The old village chief sprinkled a handful of dust on the ashes, and then ordered the villagers to scatter all the ashes into the sea.

The matter ended so simply.

After all, the locals have long been accustomed to seeing life and death, so being able to help strangers handle funeral arrangements is already a good result.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of villagers discovered traces of tires crushing the grass nearby.

This seemed a bit strange. Combined with those bones, the villagers thought that a big battle took place last night.

A poor caravan lost its way in the grassland and had to spend the night in the wilderness. As a result, a large wave of monsters attacked and a large group of people were eaten.

Fortunately, maybe someone escaped?

Otherwise there will be no tire marks.

"Oh, this is such bad luck. We will reach our village just a little further away."

"Follow us and take a look. I hope someone is still alive."

The villagers lined up and walked quickly, groping along the tire tracks.

Not long after, their eyes widened and they saw a... about 20 meters long boat with 8 tires parked on the grass.

"This...couldn't this be a relic of a super-ancient civilization...it seems like we can't make such good things in our day and age!"

The middle-aged man who took the lead couldn't help but his eyes shone, and he even couldn't help but rub his eyes.

He recalled the story he heard a long time ago, about the super-ancient civilization that became extinct because of the study of "rules."

The super-ancient civilization was much more powerful than their generation, and many technological products and legacy knowledge are from that time and legacy.

Otherwise, they who are not enterprising can only be regarded as a group of primitive people in this crisis-ridden world!

This magical ship surprised and delighted the people in the small village, and put them in trouble!

Those old men were muttering an unknown "rule": when you find the remains of a super-ancient civilization, it's best to stay away and don't explore rashly!

Who handed down this rule? I don't know, the credibility is questionable.

But the weight of the rules in their hearts is like Mount Tai, and they cannot be broken at all.

Some young adults were very excited, because this rule did not require them to stay away completely, but they were just not to explore rashly!

As long as you are cautious enough, you can still explore!

Moreover, this may be a caravan with a large amount of cargo on board. According to this reason, it cannot be regarded as an ancient relic.

Once the goods can be transported back to the village, everyone in the village will be able to live a prosperous life!

"My wife is already exploring this time. Old village chief, please, this is a God-given opportunity!"

"Cuihua is still waiting for me to marry her!"

"The caravan was completely wiped out. It is considered an ownerless thing... taking it away is just waste."

The power of the Capital Demon was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Those young adults were so excited when they thought of the wonderful thing. They held the knives and forks in their hands and looked at the ship as if they were looking at their future wives.

"It shouldn't matter. It's daytime, and the probability of monsters appearing is low. But let's make a deal first. If there are still merchants alive, we won't take any money! We, the people of Qingshi Village, are not robbers!" Old Man Guo said decisively with sharp eyes.

"That's natural." Several other strong men also nodded and said, "You can't kill people and set fires. Otherwise, you will be violent all your life and you won't be able to live long."

"If there are no more living people, then...hey, let's take the goods." Village Chief Guo shook his head and said.

Life in the village has been relatively peaceful in the past ten years, and the number of young adults has increased. These young people have reached the age of asking for wives.

The village is not a wealthy one and has no specialties other than fish, shrimp and salt. Unless a windfall comes from heaven, half of the men will be single.

In this wasteland era, there is no such thing as law. The rich and powerful can have multiple wives. When the ratio of men to women is about the same, if a strong man wants ten wives, wouldn't there be nine bachelors?

So, stimulated by interests, a group of local creatures cautiously moved over and approached the big ship-like thing.

In a world full of dangers, long-distance caravans are actually worthy of respect.

Because the caravan is the disseminator of information and also shoulders the responsibility of connecting trade. In fact, each village must have several caravan members. This is also a rule!

Without caravans, local civilization would become extinct sooner or later.

The ship in front of me is not big. It is made of pure metal. It looks like it has been drifting on the sea for hundreds of years. It is a bit old, but it is extremely strong and thick. At first glance, it looks like high-end goods that are full of materials.

"It's definitely super ancient technology!" The most knowledgeable strong man licked his dry lips.

His name is Guo Dazhu, he has walked the most roads, and he said enthusiastically: "The materials in ancient times are different from our current materials. In large-scale industrial production, even the same elements have different properties. .The most typical characteristic is that they do not rust easily."

He picked up a small stone and flicked it hard with his fingers. The small stone bounced to the side of the ship and made a crisp sound.

The boat was not damaged at all, not even a mark.

People were overjoyed one after another, and even the sadness of "Lao Ba Ye" who had just been eaten by a monster was diluted.

It shows that this caravan is extremely powerful, and even the means of transportation are ultra-ancient technology.

They even worry about gains and losses, wondering whether they should expect to survive.

The leader of the village, Old Man Guo, secretly scanned the expressions of the people around him.

He kept a few relatively cautious young people in his heart, and also wrote down the few enthusiastic-looking young men in his notebook, preparing to prevent them from traveling far away for the rest of his life.

When going out, the most important thing is to resist temptation!

If you cannot resist temptation, you will die sooner or later.

Guo Dazhu also said: "Don't touch the things here, even if there are no survivors, this boat must belong to the village.

"But everyone here will get some share...Is that okay?"

"Don't think you can handle the relics of an ultra-ancient civilization on your own. If you take them to the city to sell them, your head will be missing and robbed at the first moment. Even if you can sell it, you won't be able to sell it for much."

"Mr. Guo has been in the world before and has quite a lot of connections, so he can handle these things safely."

Now that he said this, the young people could only feel relieved and nodded one after another.

Anyway, everyone was very happy after picking up wealth for nothing.

They stayed here for a long time and no one came out. It looked like there was really no one alive.

"Then... there is a white turtle there, staring at us!" Someone else screamed, "Is the turtle alive?!"

Many villagers in Qingshi Village gathered around Xiaobai and asked, "Is this turtle so beautiful? Is it dead or alive?"

"Its eyes are clear, and its shell is like white jade. It should be alive...it should be a pet kept by the caravan. Let's take it back and raise it."

Guo Dazhu was also considered a brave man. He took the lead and jumped on the boat with a spear, hoping to catch the turtle.

As a result, the turtle bounced nimbly and shouted: "Ah!"

(Who are you?! Do you want to rob us?!)

Guo Dazhu trembled suddenly, was frightened to death, and fled from the boat again.

"What's going on, Dazhu?"

"I don't know, there seems to be a voice asking me who it is!"

"Isn't it just a turtle? Look at how scared you are. I just caught it and stewed it for a good meal."

Another man got on the boat and tried to catch the turtle, but the turtle jumped up high and collided with the man's head violently, making a "thud" sound.

"Ah!" The guy's head was swollen and he fell to the ground on all fours, peeing in pain.

"Hahaha!" The group of children laughed, and the person was beaten by the turtle. This scene was a bit funny.

However, the people in Qingshi Village were not nervous at all. After all, the opponent was a turtle, not an ugly toad.

Beautiful creatures always make people feel good, and everyone is less nervous.

Mr. Guo glanced at the beautiful turtle and suddenly said: "Well, these days, even the number of turtles has decreased. If it is a female turtle, it can just be raised. There are turtle eggs to eat every year. Wait for the turtle After you die of old age, you can become a local god."

"Our current earth god is still too fierce and has little potential for growth..."

"Can a divine turtle also be a god?" someone asked doubtfully.

"That's natural. There is a big city in the distance called the Mother City. It has a population of one million. That is the real big city."

"A long time ago, there was a divine turtle, named the Mountain-bearing Turtle. He spoke human words and had great power. After his death, he transformed into a earth god, which could protect a city from monsters."
