I live in a desert island property
Chapter 503 The Captive Place of the Demon God [Burial]
Zhang Ming stood up and looked to the west. This ominous aura made him feel instinctively uncomfortable.
The ground trembled slightly, and a gray, toad-like guy emerged from the soil. Unlike a toad, it actually had a pair of compound eyes similar to those of an insect.
The cold compound eyes looked towards the big willow tree, exuding a faint luster.
From its belly, a strange and unpleasant sound came out: "It is this willow tree that suppresses the devil. Now that its life is cut off, it can hardly be suppressed, right?"
This sound reached my ears, causing bursts of gibbering.
"Yes, what do you call me, senior?" Zhang Ming asked politely.
"Junior, you are very brave, just call me Toad." The gray toad made a strange mocking sound and introduced himself, "I am the Demon God Anchor. The situation is not much better than this big willow tree. What? I lost my mind and ate you, and I didn’t even know it.”
"I heard that you have eaten soft food. Call your devil wife out and let me take a look."
Zhang Ming always felt that there was something wrong with this guy's mind. How could he look at other people's wives when they met?
So he laughed at himself: "I am the one who eats the devil's food. The devil's wife has an unstable temperament. I don't know when she will eat us all."
The gray toad laughed loudly: "Junior, you are very interesting and very courageous!"
"It's not difficult to save the life of this willow tree for a while. If you have the ability, just follow me. I can use earth escape in this tunnel."
It made a "plop" sound and jumped into the dug hole.
Zhang Ming is also an expert in art and is bold and unafraid. He also jumped into the pit.
The feeling of earth escape is quite strange. The earth is like air, even more silky and smooth than air, and it travels through it very fast.
Once he left the tunnel dug by the big toad in front, he was immediately stuck by the surrounding soil.
"It is said that you can also dig tunnels, is that true? How does your tunnel compare to mine?"
However, this earth escape has a speed limit. Zhang Ming estimated that the earth escape speed is about 1,800 kilometers per minute, which is really fast.
Of course, digging a tunnel is not that fast. It took a whole night for the toad to dig it.
"My tunnel may be faster than my predecessors, but it may consume more energy than my predecessors."
"That's because you don't have enough control over the rules." Toad smiled half-heartedly, "I dug this tunnel and consumed 1.2 units of the source of the world."
"The rules of the devil are so easy to control, unless you have the brain of a devil. You should be able to see the flow of the earth's veins. There is a set of tricks here..."
These words seem to be knocking, indicating that I, the toad, have mastered your information, and they seem to be teaching?
Toad actually gave some tips.
Zhang Ming studied with an open mind and memorized it first before talking about it.
After swimming like this for a while, Zhang Ming kept an eye on it. He began to consume the "source" and dig space tunnels to facilitate his escape to the wild areas at any time.
A few minutes later, one person and one toad arrived at their destination.
What came into view was a small town that was barely prosperous. This might be the territory governed by gray toads. The sky was gray, as if it was shrouded in eternal dark clouds.
Zhang Ming faintly smelled the terrifying aura brought by the demon god, and it was a familiar demon god...
Well, I've experienced it a lot, and I'm used to it.
He shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Toad to lead the way.
This gray toad uses some kind of invisibility ability and is unwilling to show itself in front of ordinary people. With Zhang Ming's perception ability, it can obviously be seen.
It is obviously much smarter than the big willow tree. It knows that wallowing in the mortal world will inevitably be affected by the mortal world, so it simply doesn't care about anything.
"You can go to the temple in the center of the town to find the magic weapon for healing. I'll take the first step." It jumped suddenly and jumped for several kilometers in the form of a parabola.
Zhang Ming didn't want to be so ostentatious, so he took a step forward and moved forward quickly.
With his skills, it is not difficult to sneak into a small town.
This town brings together many races, including humanoids, lion-headed, bull-headed and horse-faced ones, some wearing clothes, and some with hair and no need to wear clothes.
Zhang Ming was wearing coarse cloth and blending in, so he didn't look out of place.
The dark and damp alley exudes a rotten and sick atmosphere.
Zhang Ming almost stepped on the medicine dregs on the road and cursed: "Who is so wicked, throwing medicine dregs on the ground!"
"Cough cough cough!" Several small creatures coughed as they passed by, touched Zhang Ming, and stretched out their hands to steal something.
Zhang Ming dodged slightly and escaped the attacks of these guys.
After being in the burial world for so long, most of the intelligent creatures he has come into contact with are virtuous and polite. Even the villagers in ordinary small villages are quite qualified.
In fact, it is just a distorted product of the "virtue" of the village's sacred object, and does not conform to the result of natural evolution.
This town seems to have returned to its pure natural ecology.
The roads are dirty, litter is everywhere, and you can occasionally see people urinating and defecating.
Arguments, fights, and some low moans could also be heard.
In a short house in front, a red lantern hung, and a woman exposed her white thighs and was ogling Zhang Ming.
"Hua Bili!" This female creature said something unclear and smiled.
"Come on! Come on!" Shimama said excitedly, "You seem to be an old virgin? Let's taste the unique charm here today!"
Zhang Ming was helpless: "My personal secretary is right next to me, how can I get in? Brother, get in!"
"I'm a turtle and have no interest."
[If you really want to go, I can cheer and cheer from the side! You know, I don't have human morals, just be happy! 】Miss Calabash said with great interest.
Zhang Ming rolled his eyes. This guy is so perverted. He is clearly a "moral pacesetter" and yet he says he has no human morals.
"Then I'm really into it."
【Really? 】
Zhang Ming said quietly: "You can look like this girl tonight. Even though you are not that pretty, I can make do with it."
Hulu was silent. She questioned why she had lost her mind just now and wanted to provoke this "moral abyss".
"Sir, please give me something to eat. Please." The alley in front was actually blocked with wood. Several beggars in rags stared at Zhang with red eyes. Ming.
Seeing that he was alone, there were strong signs that he would come to rob him without saying a word.
Zhang Ming shouted quickly: "I am also very poor. I feel in my pocket and I don't have a penny."
"Well, I stole this steamed bun from the master's house. Eat it quickly and let me go."
The reason why I say this is that, on the one hand, these guys are really pitiful. They are skinny and skinny from hunger, and they don’t seem to be pretending... Zhang Ming is not that kind of cruel person. The environment has a great impact on people. The poor mountains and rivers, there is no such thing. Morality is normal.
On the other hand, he said that this thing was stolen and he also wanted to prove that he had some skills.
If you are really stupid and want to rob, don't blame me, Lao Zhang, for killing all of you.
The beggars looked at him suspiciously and did not dare to make a move.
However, the aroma of the steamed buns was so fragrant that I could only swallow and share the steamed buns.
Well, just two bites, are you full?
The beggars' eyes wandered around for a few times, and they were greatly shocked. They felt a trace of heat generated in their bodies. They really were steamed buns stolen from the master!
Brother, you are such a master, you even dare to steal the master’s things!
Zhang Ming asked: "Brother, I want to go to the temple in the center of the town. Are there any local rules?"
"Is there a death in your family?" a young beggar asked in surprise.
"No."
"He must be from out of town, brother." Another beggar looked at Zhang Ming's luggage with his eyes wide and rubbed his dirty hands vigorously on his clothes.
Zhang Ming felt funny and threw another steamed bun to them.
These guys discovered that Lao Zhang was a rich man, but he was not easy to control. They were quite contented. After taking the buns, they walked over and removed the roadblock.
"That temple is equivalent to the Earth God's Temple. Only dead people can enter, not living people!"
"If you break in, you'll be treated like a dead person. No one will know what's inside!"
The leading beggar said mysteriously: "But it's safe here, even on the Night of Hundred Ghosts! We also moved from other villages, but the environment is so bad. There are fights everywhere, hey , the folk customs in the village are still simple and honest.”
"What the hell is this place? It's too simple to live in."
These beggars actually said that the people in the village were simple and tough, Zhang Ming couldn't help but feel happy.
"Thank you, brother, let's go first."
"Brother, there is one more thing I haven't said. I heard, I just heard... Occasionally, half of the population suddenly disappears. It's just that the people in this town seem to have lost their memory... I don't know this either. It’s true or false.” The beggar caught up with him and gave him a few words of warning.
All in all, without the "virtue" infection of holy objects, this place presents a natural development, the jungle law of the weak and the strong.
Poor mountains and rivers breed unruly people. The current harsh environment is what Zhang Ming understands.
On the contrary, the cultural environment of Qingshi Village and Black Iron Village is really unreal.
"The situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm is even worse than the current situation." Shimama suddenly said, "At least there are no cooks here, and there is no situation of people exchanging food for food."
"Yeah?"
"The residents here don't have much fighting power, and their destructive power is limited." Shimama recalled the past and chatted a few words, "The people in the Shanhai Realm can punch through the city wall with one punch, and they have no cultural quality. If there is a gold belt for murder and arson, no one can stop it. The gap between races is huge, and there are also gaps between the same race."
"Only when the top powerhouses are in charge can a town with relatively intact order emerge."
"But when a strong person sits in charge, it doesn't mean that the strong person has a say and can do whatever he wants? Just don't expect that strong person to have too high qualities."
"So in places like the Mountain and Sea Realm, no real civilization can be formed. At most, they are just tribes... They cannot develop technology, let alone have unique technology."
"That's true." Zhang Ming sighed.
As he walked, his pace slowed down.
Because he felt an extremely special aura, like a sleeping dragon, coiling in the temple in front of him.
"The place where the demon god is anchored is similar to the mountain road guarded by the negative mountain turtle."
This temple is quite large, covering an area of about one hectare, with carved beams and painted buildings, and is of extraordinary majesty. The sound of bronze bells reverberates in the air, and thousands of red candle flames sway on the candlesticks, but this layer of fire brings a kind of A cold feeling.
"Disaster in the Nether Realm...Dark Rules?" Zhang Ming frowned slightly, and cold sweat instantly seeped out from his back.
"What you want is right ahead."
The voice of the big toad reached Zhang Ming's ears: "There is a tree in the temple that can bear a fruit called life fruit. It is a life fruit formed with the help of the power of the devil. It can help the big willow tree regain its vitality."
Zhang Ming took the combat power detector presented by Xiong Baren and assessed the combat power level ahead: "How many more years can it be allowed to live?"
"It depends on how much you invest and sacrifice to it. The life-span fruit will not grow as long as you want." The big toad laughed evilly, "If you invest a hundred people and a thousand people, the life-extending effect will naturally be different."
"How many people can be invested at most?"
"There is no cap, even if you invest 100,000 or 1 million people, it will still be possible. The effect of living people is better than that of dead people."
"This place is called the land of freedom. It is a land with a radius of thousands of miles. All creatures in the land of freedom can be thrown into the temple to feed the trees. The total population is about ten million. How much do you want to invest to save the big willow tree? Young man?"
It’s a joke from hell that this place without laws is actually called the “Land of the Free.”
Well, for some people, the absence of laws is truly liberating.
The big toad added: "The first time you take this fruit, it will have the best effect."
"The subsequent effects will be worse by more than one level, so you have to carefully consider how many years the big willow tree will live... I will sell you a face, and you can harvest the creatures of this free land as you wish."
The big toad seemed to enjoy the feeling of recruiting people into his group, staring at Zhang Ming with a pair of eyes.
It was extremely looking forward to it, and Zhang Ming showed a struggling and tangled expression.
It seems that this guy has long been corrupted by this unknown demon.
But Zhang Ming has no psychological burden at all. I'm just here to visit. Why do you ask me to make decisions? I'm not a leader and I can't bear this share of cause and effect.
[Dusk] Even if I really run out, I, Lao Zhang, will not be the first to die.
I, Lao Zhang, can run away if I want!
"What's the name of the demon god anchored here?" Zhang Ming asked again.
"You don't even know this? It's called [Burial]!" Toad laughed hard, "It's the biggest demon here. It's because Burial Sect found this guy that it was able to cooperate with the demon."
Among the gods and men, there is a strong man named "Fu"; among the demon gods, there is also a man named "Fu".
The two parties may have some unknown connection.
The weird thing about the Demon God [Burial] is that its thinking tends to keep civilization in captivity in order to obtain long-term, stable space-time tidal energy.
This approach is quite similar to Zhang Ming's approach.
But Zhang Ming was born in human civilization and is inclined to human ideology. He hopes that human beings can develop and grow. This is his worldview. This is not the case with the Demon God. Its ideology is chaotic and difficult to understand. If it thinks your existence will interfere with its own interests, it will kill you at any time without any emotion at all.
Therefore, in the process of getting along, you must be cautious and not careless for a moment.
Seeing Zhang Ming's unhappy expression, Toad laughed again, seemingly very happy, and invited Zhang Ming into the temple.
"You first need to see how the Life-Life Fruit is generated and understand how the Demon God [Burial] keeps civilization in captivity."
"Don't worry, it won't attack you."
He saw a small crooked-neck tree. The tree was covered with red, purple, and brown spots. He didn't know if they were flowers or moss. They looked densely packed, like a series of fish eggs.
Just as it happened, a group of people wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning came from a short distance away. The person in the coffin still had his last breath. Under the influence of various drugs, he showed a strange expression that was half-smiling, and even twitched from time to time.
"Hurry, take him to the temple quickly! Before the seventh master is dead." This group of people hurriedly walked, wearing a piece of white satin on their heads, and several children followed the funeral procession and howled.
"Don't cry... Burying in a temple is an act of eternal bliss!"
"Yongdeng Bliss aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," an old man read out his condolence words as if he were singing an opera.
After a while, the coffin was pushed into the temple door.
The Crooked Neck Tree seemed to sense the vitality of the outside world, and one of its branches suddenly twisted like a long leech.
The little bits and pieces of unknown substance that looked like mold were scattered one after another, and they were sprinkled on the face of the person lying in the coffin.
Suddenly, strange spots spread rapidly from the surface of his skin.
At the same time, this person seemed to be stimulated by something and made a "giggle" sound of laughter.
The laughter was extremely smooth and cheerful, as if it was the happiest moment in life.
The funeral team waiting outside was chanting words of condolences. After hearing the laughter, they breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's Master Qi's laughter."
"Let me tell you, don't be sad. Mr. Qi is originally a rigid person. His life is miserable and he has little joy."
"Now, Master Qi will be in bliss forever and leave this hellish world." The old man in charge actually had a hint of joy on his face, "When I get old, I will do the same thing. While I am still alive, send him to Come here, do you understand?”
"Understood!"
"Everlasting Bliss, Everlasting Bliss, hey~~" The funeral team began to sing joyfully again, a little sad, but a hint of joy could be heard.
The corpse and the coffin quickly turned into ashes under the corrosion of the colorful spots.
After a while, those parasitic spots flew back to the crooked neck tree, and a fruit as small as a cherry grew from the branch.
That is the famous "Life Fruit", which contains rich vitality!
The first time you use it, you can extend your life, but the effect will get worse with subsequent uses.
As for what the side effects are, Zhang Ming doesn't want to know. He won't take this "life fruit" anyway.
This scene is very touching. It is obviously a very sad thing, but it is made to look a bit festive. People who don't know about it may think that there is a happy event here.
Miss Calabash shivered with fear. After shrinking herself, she kept digging into Zhang Ming's clothes.
On the contrary, Shimama was amazed and said via voice transmission: "The devil's methods are so terrifying!"
"The entire burial world's concept of death has been completely distorted. It's really a demon-level method!"
"Old Zhang, when you completely distort human concepts, you will become a real demon."
Zhang Ming nodded seriously: "When I go back, I will follow my example and completely distort the Xuanwu clan, so that those turtles can see my Zhang Ming's methods."
Shimama shook a few times in her backpack and almost lost control.
The big toad spit out a breeze and shot it towards the bright red fruit.
Suddenly, the cherry-sized fruit fell to the ground.
It manipulated the breeze and threw the longevity fruit into Zhang Ming's hand.
"How?" asked the toad.
"It's very strange, and the person who invented this way to coexist with the devil has great wisdom." Zhang Ming was frightened, but he still said a few words.
"Oh, what did you see?" the big toad asked with interest.
"This demon with a relatively gentle nature is the front line against other demons..."
"It regards this world as its own property and has incurred a lot of sunk costs. Naturally, it does not allow other demon gods to put their hands in. It is really a great wisdom to use one demon god to fight other demon gods and avoid greater losses. "
"As for the price paid by the local creatures, it is still acceptable. It's just that the local indigenous people's concept of death has been completely distorted... That's why this demon is called [Burial]... Funeral customs are really completely different from the outside world. .”
"Junior, you are quite smart." Gray Toad praised, and then changed the topic, "However, the demon god's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. If [Burial] is not satisfied with the Burial World, what should we do?"
"This fruit is given to you as a greeting gift."
Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, looking at the small vermilion fruit. A strange fragrance came to him, making him sneeze.
But just such a tiny bit of fragrance gave every cell in his body a strange feeling of hunger and thirst, as if swallowing the fruit would instantly give him immortality!
As time goes by, even the soul is ready to move, making people more and more intolerable.
Regardless of Zhang Ming's willpower, he felt like he was burning with desire. He seemed to be soaked in magma and wanted to escape immediately.
This is just such a small fruit. If it were a larger fruit, I don’t know how powerful its temptation would be.
Maybe, I really can’t bear it.
Zhang Ming put it away when it was good, took a small box, kept the fruit, and said in a strange tone: "Old brother, do you want to eat it?"
"I, I, I... of course I want it!" Shimama couldn't wait to rush over and grab this good treasure.
Zhang Ming deeply lamented how powerful the demon god was, and how his old brother had become corrupted so quickly.
Perhaps, after being attacked by [Dusk], it has become a corrupt and evil old turtle.
The big toad said with a smile: "In short, we can't find so many dying people to feed this life-long fruit tree. How many people do you want to spend to save that big willow tree? If you continue like this, then I’m afraid the big willow tree won’t last long.”
Zhang Ming said in surprise: "You can capture as many people as I want?"
"Of course, it's just a group of living people!" Toad said disdainfully.
"With their reproductive capacity, there will be a new batch soon. You can rest assured that they will not suffer any pain, and the whole process will not even leave any memory. Generally speaking, I only harvest the elderly." Toad's skin venom A trace of gray-white mist spewed out from the gland.
If ordinary life is inhaled even a little bit, it will cause coma and lose memory.
"Then you are quite kind...but if you ask me to capture people and sacrifice them to this tree, doesn't the cause and effect fall on me?"
"If you don't do it, how can you let me do it?" The toad said nonchalantly, "Don't you think you can do it? The world is so cruel that all living things are like rotten dogs. You yourself usually eat meat, right? It's hard to measure the number of creatures you kill. Let’s measure it, right? Now you can’t stop?”
"I allow you to arrest people at will, which is my greatest kindness."
Zhang Ming said: "The life and death of that big willow tree has nothing to do with me... You just feed and eat people. You have different ideas, so I won't comment, but don't drag me into it."
The toad smiled even more sinisterly.
Seeing that the toad had evil intentions, he simply called out: "God Turtle, hello, God Turtle! You must be here, come out quickly!"
A breeze blew.
Suddenly, an exquisite turtle statue located in a corner moved.
"How do you know I'm here?" the old voice of the Mountain-bearing God Turtle rang.
The old turtle was a little puzzled.
It is a turtle that is proficient in camouflage, and camouflage is its innate magical power!
How was it spotted?
"Nonsense, this toad already knows a lot about me. It's most likely you who spread the word."
"And in such a big city, what kind of land of freedom, is it possible that you, the Goddess of the Mountain, don't know about it?" Zhang Ming said angrily, "Now that you know about this matter, you can take care of it yourself."
"You can't just watch the big willow tree die."
The negative mountain turtle said in a strange tone: "Since you don't want to kill people, then find another way. Don't you have a demon wife... [Long-cherished Wish], a demon god of this level... Is there nothing you can do?"
Shimama couldn't help but jumped out of Zhang Ming's backpack and cursed: "You old turtle, why do you think about other people's wives every day? Even I don't have the power to make wishes, why do you want others to make wishes all the time!"
The Mountain-bearing Turtle did not dare to provoke the Demon God, but he was still very enthusiastic about scolding Shimama: "A person who treats the Demon God as his wife can solve many problems by eating soft rice. Why don't you eat it!"
"Do you know how troublesome these problems are? Go lick that devil!"
"If it were me, I could lick off a layer of the devil's skin and break all the bones!"
Zhang Ming was shocked. This turtle was too thick-skinned. He was so confident in asking others to eat soft rice!
Shimama was also shocked by the mental state of these guys, and gloated: "It seems right... Zhang Ming, go lick it quickly!"
