This Simplification Is Too Outrageous

At four o'clock in the morning, Sifang City is full of strange and depressing atmosphere, full of weirdness and weirdness.

Unconsciously, the woman carried Qiao Yuan to an area full of dilapidated temples. There were rubble and broken walls everywhere. The tattered rubble and wood were scattered on the ground, hiding in the darkness. It was gloomy like a ghost.

Without any hesitation, the woman stepped into a relatively complete temple like a ghost.

Due to the lack of light, those mutilated and unknown statues all look so gloomy, hideous and evil.

...

The whole temple is not too big, but in an inconspicuous gravel corner at the back, as the woman pushed aside a stone slab, a secret passage leading to the ground emerged.

Carrying the Qiao Yuan woman and jumping into the ground, there is a little light coming from the deepest part!

This is a huge stone room that seems to have been opened up by man!

Going along the passage to the light, Qiao Yuan also found a lot of melons and fruits rich in spiritual energy along the way, but the concentration is relatively low!

Worse than the melons and fruits sold by the hawkers during the day!

Tread~

Soon, the woman came to the middle of the stone room with Qiao Yuan on her back, and rudely threw Qiao Yuan on the side of the mountain, ignoring him.

Qiao Yuan opened his eyes and took a look, where is this mountain pile, this is clearly a corpse pile!

A two-meter-high pile of corpses!

It is not difficult to guess that these are the unfortunate eggs that come out to wander at night.

In addition to this corpse pile, there are also corpses everywhere, and the entire area is piled up in various ways.

Qiao Yuan lay in the pile of corpses, shrugged, changed to a more comfortable position, and slid down... away from the rotting corpses.

...

"Hey, brother, so you're not dead!"

A voice came from a corner in the dark, far away, and Qiao Yuan turned his head curiously...it was an Awakened who was leaning against the corner and pretending to be dead.

"Um."

Qiao Yuan nodded, then squirmed his body over, leaned against the wall, posed, and quietly watched the performance of the three hawkers in front of him.

"My friend, it's alright, now they're going to start planting seeds, they won't pay attention to us, as long as we don't make too much noise!" the man said.

Hearing this, Qiao Yuan looked at the man again in surprise.

Dirty all over his body, tattered clothes, and a foul stench, but these couldn't cover up his somewhat rich body, as if he had been fed up.

"Listen to what you mean, have you been here for a long time?"

The rich man moved his body cautiously, immediately leaned over, nodded frantically, and then his eyes gradually became empty, as if he was remembering something.

"I remember that I paid money to practice at the second entrance, but the group of people surnamed Feng kept using various projects to trick me for money. I left the planned area in a fit of rage, and as a result, I was inexplicably inhaled while walking. This Sifang City..."

"Hey, I knew I would have paid the money obediently..."

...

In the brief statement of the rich man, Qiao Yuan learned what happened.

As the awakened people who were inhaled by the secret realm, entering the secret realm in advance did not bring them any benefit. On the contrary... even bigger troubles came one after another.

They are being targeted by a bunch of lunatics!

"The lunatic you're talking about is a peddler who sells melons and fruits during the day?" Qiao Yuan interrupted.

The man nodded.

"These ordinary people are sucked into the secret realm, they don't know what has changed, they are all crazy!"

"On the surface, it looks the same as normal people, but in fact, once someone strikes at them and kills them, at night... they will be re-targeted by the resurrected ones, no matter how they kill them, they won't kill them, and the more they kill them, the stronger they will be. It's like dog skin plaster..."

Speaking of this, the rich man seemed to remember some painful memories, and his expression was very frightened.

Qiao Yuan listened silently, and did not worry and scanned it with his mental power. It was certain that this was a real Awakened, and it was different from the complex energy fluctuations in the Awakened hawkers.

"Kill and can't kill, escape and can't escape... The people who came in with me are all dead, only I am alive."

The man looked a little sad.

...

"But then I discovered this place. Instead of being caught by them, I might as well throw myself in the net. There are so many corpses of the Awakened here. As long as I hide deep enough, I can survive completely. The most dangerous place is the safest. …”

"My friend, listen to me, don't have any ideas, there are twenty or thirty corpses here, and it is not so easy for them to find ours..."

"And I don't know what's going on these days, more and more Awakeneds have died, and more and more corpses have been killed, making it even harder for them to find us."

The man persuaded Qiao Yuan to get rid of those unrealistic thoughts and never think about killing these lunatics.

After pondering for a while, Qiao Yuan asked.

"What do you mean by seeds?"

As soon as these words came out, the man who had been nagging suddenly closed his mouth and became silent. Then his pupils trembled slightly, and he looked at the three hawkers in the distance.

Following the man's gaze, Qiao Yuan found that the three hawkers not far away had new movements.

They are digging holes with their hoes vigorously.

What are they doing?

...

Only the sound of the hoe waving can be heard in the quiet surroundings, and the atmosphere in the air is extremely depressed, as if it were the tranquility before the storm.

"Did you eat those things?" The man bared his teeth and showed a meaningful expression.

Qiao Yuan nodded.

"Eat it, it's juicy, the pulp is sweet and delicious..."

"Do you know how those spirit fruits came from?"

Qiao Yuan glanced at the surrounding corpses, and then looked at the deep pit dug in the distance. In just a few minutes, the three hawkers not far away had dug seven or eight deep pits that could accommodate a corpse.

Is it...

Qiao Yuan already had a guess in his heart.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Not far away, I saw a peddler wearing a padded jacket put down his hoe, turned and walked towards the corpse pile, his nose moved slightly, as if he was sniffing something...

Then he turned over the pile of corpses, pulled it twice, grabbed a thin white arm with one hand, and pulled hard, pulling out the corpse of a woman who had been dead for a long time.

He carried the corpse to the front of the deep pit, threw it in, and then picked up the shovel again and shoveled the soil frantically.

Swish~

Before long, the pits where the bodies were buried were filled.

The padded hawker put down the shovel and stood quietly watching, under the faint candlelight, his eyes were full of excitement and desire!

...

"When the secret realm is not opened, the awakened people who are selected to inhale are seeds. Using these seeds, we can grow a lot of food rich in spiritual energy at one time!"

"The stronger the Awakened, the higher the quality of the Spirit Fruits!"

"The things you eat outside are all planted by awakened people below the third rank. If you want to grow something that is infinitely close to the spiritual fruit, you must use awakened people above the fourth rank!"

"And these lunatics can become awakened people by eating what is grown by awakened people above the fourth rank!"

"..."

The man's voice fluttered in Qiao Yuan's ears.

At this time, the front also changed.

Accompanied by a slight earthquake, the soil on which the corpse was placed... began to move!

The green seedlings broke out of the ground and stretched at a speed visible to the naked eye. The longer they grew, the thicker they became. The vines coiled like snakes and slowly extended to the man's feet.

The stamens bloom, and the verdant watermelon fruits grow rapidly... until they mature, and the rich aroma emanates, which is mouth-watering!

The padded hawker stepped forward quickly, stuck out his nose and sniffed carefully, as if he was confirming something.

After more than ten seconds, the hawker shook his head and kept saying words like "unqualified".

...

"Looks like, this time, I didn't plant anything to satisfy them. I can only let the awakened ones from the outside eat them after dawn, and let their bodies become seeds..."

The voice of the rich man in the corner came again.

"Isn't there any other effect of eating these things other than being made into seeds?" Qiao Yuan asked curiously.

The rich man behind him grinned.

"Does the psychological impact count?"

"But most of the awakened people don't know the real source of the spiritual food they eat."

"The rules of this place are like this. From the time the first Awakened body is planted, nothing can be undone..."

"These lunatics, if they want to become stronger and get out of trouble, they can only eat what we, the awakened ones, have planted and formed in their bodies!"

"..."

During the time the rich man was talking about, the three hawkers in front planted four or five corpses one after another.

A magical scene continues to happen.

These corpses buried in the earth have yielded many things in ways that go against the laws of nature.

Apart from some familiar fruits... Qiao Yuan also discovered many unknown things.

For example, a plant grows something that resembles meat.

It's amazing!

Now, when he thinks of the buns, melons and fruits he met in the daytime, Qiao Yuan is glad that he is not an awakened person, and he did not eat too much for these resources.

These human beings trapped in the secret realm... or the former human beings have long since become inhuman monsters!

You can't kill them, but if you don't kill them...they will come out again at night to hunt for food.

It's only the early days, everyone is immersed in the thrill of strength improvement, and they don't care about it.

Once these hawkers have all become Awakened, it will not be so easy to kill them at that time.

What's even more terrifying is that almost every day there are awakened people from the outside world rushing to this place!

...

Why did the secret realm that was supposed to be a fairyland on earth become like this?

The answer is likely to be related to the hidden strange thing behind it!

Although Qiao Yuan didn't know the truth, he was 70% sure about his guess.

I know the horror of strange things. A middle-level strange thing is placed in the outside world. If it is allowed to develop, it is not impossible for a city to be destroyed.

So... this strange thing in this secret realm can actually affect the secret realm, the lowest is intermediate, and it is extremely strong!

Whatever the situation, it needs to be found as soon as possible.

...

"Unqualified!"

"Unqualified!"

"Why is it still unqualified!"

In the distance, the three hawkers seemed to have lost their patience. After planting several corpses, none of them produced satisfactory fruit, and they became extremely irritable with each other.

"Then plant it, it will be successful!"

The woman muttered to herself, fell into some kind of madness, and it walked towards the pile of corpses again, but this time it didn't search from inside, but went deeper!

That is the location of Qiao Yuan and the two of them.

"No, it's here, pretend to be dead!"

The rich man's face changed, and he quickly fell to the ground, then put his hand into the corpse on the side, grabbed some disgusting things and wiped it on his body.

It stinks even worse!

Qiao Yuan: "..."

...

The woman frantically came to the corner, where there were only a few corpses.

When she came to the first rotting corpse, the woman sniffed and showed a disgusted expression.

Then came the second one, and then the third one... the body of a rich man.

The Awakened was very talented at pretending to be dead, and coupled with his blood-stained body, the woman finally let him go.

Tread~

The dull footsteps finally stopped beside Qiao Yuan, and the woman frowned, as if wondering why Qiao Yuan, who had been thrown into the corpse, appeared here.

The nose moved slightly, and the woman bent down and sniffed.

Immediately, his eyes flashed with starlight, revealing a coveted color!

Reach out and grab Qiao Yuan's neck.

At this moment, Qiao Yuan abruptly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ice and Fire Double Heaven!

The left fist is hot, the right fist is frosty!

At the same time, they attacked and hit the woman's head severely.

The collision of ice and fire is completely beyond what this fourth-order hawker can withstand.

The woman's body shattered on the spot, and a wisp of black smoke wrapped around Qiao Yuan's body without incident.

Without any hesitation, his eyes fixed on the two hawkers in front of him, and Qiao Yuan's body jumped and turned into a stream of light.

Boom!

Two muffled sounds came out.

One of the hawkers burst into flames and died.

As for the other, it was frozen into ice cubes and torn apart.

These two hawkers are all three-level, and one move is enough to kill them.

Now that we have understood the source of these foods rich in spiritual energy, tonight's exploration is not in vain.

...

The battle took less than ten seconds from start to finish!

"Friend, you...how are you so strong?" The man in the corner pretending to be dead showed an incredible expression.

"It's not that I'm strong, it's that they are too weak!"

After speaking, Qiao Yuan left the scene on his own.

The rich man quickly tore off the clothes of a corpse, wiped the blood on his face, and stumbled away from the corpse pile.

The stone room fell into a dead silence.

After half an hour.

A figure sneaked back into the stone room.

He looked at the surrounding corpses with excitement.

"These three guys are already dead, this house full of corpses can't be wasted, these are all mine!"

"I can definitely plant the spiritual fruit that will make me break through!"

"Hahaha, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor!"

"What doesn't kill me will only make me stronger!"

"..."

The rich man returned to the scene, and when he thought of the corpse here, he couldn't suppress his joy.

During the day, these hawkers pushed the melon and fruit stalls outside to find the Awakened. He could only steal a few corpses to plant them during this time, and then eat the fruits that came out.

Those lunatics didn't realize that there was such a "parasite" in the corpse that was stealing the fruits of their labor!

Swish~

The sound of crazy hoeing sounded.

Soon, several deep pits were dug out.

The wealthy man threw a corpse in one hand and buried it again.

Wandering back and forth in the vegetable field, praying for the blessing of the gods, and planting fruits that can break through the fourth order.

...

swoosh~

One fruit seedling after another burst out of the ground like bamboo shoots.

Banana, watermelon, meat...

The wealthy man was drooling, constantly looking for something... Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he found a fruit in this lush vine!

Rubbing his hands excitedly, he immediately ran forward, picked the pears, and gnawed wildly...

"Is it delicious?"

Suddenly a voice sounded.

The rich man was caught in some kind of pleasure at this time, and he answered without knowing: "Delicious!"

...

"A question, have you ever eaten frozen pears?"

When the man reacted, a shadow of a fist with cold air rushed towards it and shattered it instantly.

Qiao Yuan's figure gradually emerged from the darkness.

At this point, something unusual happened.

A wisp of black smoke floated out from the man's body and wrapped around Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan stood there for a long time, looking at the corpses all over the ground, without moving for a long time.

If you kill these awakened people who eat spiritual food, will they also be entangled in black smoke?

Are these black smokes just a marker?
