This Simplification Is Too Outrageous

...

Behind the village, there is a fruit grove, which is the only source of food for the villagers to survive. Although they don't know the specific name, at least eating these things will not starve to death.

In the early days, the villagers also guessed whether it was because of eating this thing that the life expectancy was not long and the health was getting worse, but it was obviously a dilemma.

If you don't eat, you will starve to death!

I would rather be a hungry ghost than a hungry soul!

With the strength of Qiao Yuan's feet, they quickly left the village.

According to what the villagers said, as long as you leave the village, you are in a dangerous zone.

...

"The fruit forest is just ahead, why don't you go, my friend?"

Wu Jie, who was running hard, suddenly noticed that Qiao Yuan stopped.

As a sixth-level awakened person, he has an infinite future, so why is he willing to wait here to die!

This awakened person is so strong that there is an 80% probability that he will be at the seventh level. If he really has the opportunity to leave here, then now is a good opportunity. not see.

Standing on the top of the hillside, Qiao Yuan overlooked the small village below. Even though the light was insufficient, he could still see the outline.

Mental power returned to normal at this time!

Looking back, Wu Jie is no longer in the shape of a skull, he is a pure human being.

Everything is confirmed!

It's the village that has a problem!

Or something in the village affected him.

...

The sky is dark, the earth is vast, there is no sunlight, and there is only a piece of gray and black.

The strangely shaped trees and vegetation are erected in this area. It seems that because there is no sunshine all year round, it looks particularly eerie.

Looking at the darkness at a glance, there is no end in sight.

Approaching here is like being in an endless abyss, losing direction, falling continuously, and facing death at any time.

At this time, the outermost trunks are bare, and there are no fruits.

"Basically the outermost fruits have been harvested. If you want to harvest, you must go deep." Wu Jie frowned.

"Why do you think this is the way out?" Qiao Yuan asked

Wu Jie glanced at the fruit forest, pondered for a moment and then said: "This village is a prison, and the outside world can't tell any direction. I have been exploring every day for the past six months. Except for this fruit forest, I can't leave in any other direction. No matter how you go, It will all come back to square one in the end!"

"Actually, even if you haven't come to this village, I'm still going to venture into this fruit forest."

"Since this fruit forest is the source of food for the villagers to survive, it may also be a way out!"

"..."

...

As soon as Qiao Yuan stepped into the fruit forest, he immediately felt oppressed and cold.

In addition, there is actually a trace of familiarity!

Very inexplicable!

Feeling the strange atmosphere in this fruit forest, Qiao Yuan frowned, and accelerated his steps.

Along the way, there is no lack of seeing the messy footsteps of the villagers.

It is indeed amazing that food that villagers can eat can grow in such a place!

It's a pity that it is difficult to find traces of the fruit on the periphery!

And the closer you get to the depths of the fruit forest, the more illusory and special Yin Qi will erode your body.

This is especially clear under Qiao Yuan's spiritual induction!

Presumably, there should be a reason why the villagers can't live past forty or fifty.

External conditions and internal diet have formed such a situation in many ways.

Continue to shuttle in the fruit forest...

Gradually, there are fewer and fewer footprints around, and even in the end, there are no footprints to be seen, and the surroundings are terribly quiet.

There were only two footsteps, one in front of the other in the silence, which was particularly clear.

...

"Friend...friend, don't you think it's cold here?" Wu Jie said tremblingly behind him.

cold?

Indeed, Yin Qi can make people feel bitingly cold in a certain sense. This level of Yin Qi...even the sixth-level awakened can't help it?

"Keep the righteous way in your heart, and evil cannot invade!" Qiao Yuan said.

Wu Jie: "..."

But having said that, since even this sixth-level awakened person can't bear it, what about the village head in the village?

There are no more fruits on the periphery, so if you want to collect them, you must go deep.

It's okay to do it once or twice. It's impossible to be in such a good state in more than ten years.

After all, Qiao Yuan guessed that the opponent's promotion time must not be long!

In other words, for at least half of the time, the other party was still a Tier 3 awakened person.

Still belong to ordinary people!

It seems that there is indeed a problem.

"By the way, you have been here for half a year, have you seen the village chief go in to pick?"

"No." Wu Jie said without thinking.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure that the source of food for the village chief is provided by the villagers. Generally, if the villagers ask for something, they will exchange fruits or some other valuable things."

"..."

...

So that's the case, Qiao Yuan looked at the front solemnly, so could it be that the village chief knew something, so he chose to give up entering the fruit forest.

And for those who entered by mistake before, the village chief would tell the other party not to leave, and then let the other party stay and become a villager... Putting aside good intentions, with the attitude of the other party asking for spiritual liquid, most likely have other plans.

Qiao Yuan had a guess deep in his heart, and of course it was just a guess.

Spiritual power is spreading again!

Without interference, Qiao Yuan's strength exploded and he headed deep into the fruit forest.

Seeing Qiao Yuan quicken his pace in front of him, Wu Jie gritted his teeth behind him, followed up with a jolt.

Anyway, this is his only chance!

Isn't it cold!

I am a sixth-level awakened person, what can I not resist!

...

"I...I can't do it, it's too cold..."

Soon after, Wu Jie knelt on the ground, his face turned blue, his eyes blurred, his teeth creaked, and his whole body was covered with hoarfrost.

At this moment, he felt that his soul seemed to be frozen!

"I... I saw my milk..."

In Wu Jie's sight, his grandma was floating in the sky, calling his name, asking him to follow her.

"I...my grandma...my grandma told me to go over..."

Just when Wu Jie's consciousness was blurred, there was a sudden warmth from beside him, and after he regained his composure, he found Qiao Yuan standing beside him, with a crimson flame floating in his hand.

"This is not the way out, you go back outside and wait for me." Qiao Yuan said.

The special yin energy here can actually condense into a substantial hoarfrost, this level is unheard of!

Even the sixth-level awakened can't resist!

Don't even mention Wu Jie, I'm afraid I might not be able to resist if I was before.

Wu Jie didn't hesitate, and quickly retreated after hastily thanking him, no matter what...life is the most important thing.

After Wu Jie left, Qiao Yuan looked at the trees full of fruits, picked some and put them into the space belt.

This thing can actually grow in it, either it is a good thing that is useful, or it is a good thing that is harmful.

In short, it is absolutely impossible to be ordinary.

Not long after, Qiao Yuan cleared the venue and patted the dust on his hands.

It's a bit cold, it's time to warm up!

The next moment, Qiao Yuan burst into flames and went straight to the end of the fruit forest.

...

Shuttle past like the wind, constantly moving forward.

呲味~

Substantial Yin Qi collided with the hot flame, making a piercing and sharp sound.

The closer to the end, the more intense the collision between Yin Qi and flame.

At this level, even ordinary seventh-order awakened people can't get close!

The next moment, Qiao Yuan sped up again, and finally reached the end of the fruit forest.

An ancient tree with a height of more than 20 meters and a whole body as black as ink stands there. It looks like the root of the fruit tree outside.

All the changes around are related to this ancient tree.

wrong!

After mental investigation, Qiao Yuan keenly discovered that it wasn't the ancient tree that had a problem, but the thing behind the ancient tree had a problem!

The body appeared behind in an instant, and Qiao Yuan's eyes widened.

Half of the withered corpse leaned against the tree, and the roots of the entire ancient tree were completely entangled in it, as if it was sucking something.

It looks extremely weird and terrifying!

Qiao Yuan's heart was beating wildly, and his eyes were fixed on the half withered corpse.

What the hell is this?

Do all the fruits here exist because of this half corpse?

Even half a corpse can prevent ordinary seventh-level awakened people from approaching. How terrifying this thing must have been in life!

After careful observation, Qiao Yuan also discovered something.

It is to be killed!

The murderer tore it in half!

Who killed it?

And even though it was only the first time they met, why did they feel a sense of familiarity?

Qiao Yuan walked around the half corpse again and again, but he still couldn't tell where the familiarity came from.

...

Outside the fruit forest, even though he has left there, the situation still hasn't improved.

Wu Jie lay on the ground as if he was exhausted, sweating all over his body, his face was pale, even if he kept urging his spiritual energy to restore his body, it was of no avail.

The damage appears to be permanent!

The thought in his mind frightened Wu Jie quite a bit.

Unwilling to give up, he took out the remaining spiritual liquid and drank it, and his complexion recovered a little, but he checked his body again soon after... the same symptoms as the villagers in the village appeared on him.

Weak, extremely poor complexion, overdrawn body...

"It's over, it's over...it's the root cause of the disease!" Wu Jie murmured in despair.

Even though there was a lot of unwillingness in his heart, from this moment on, he realized that he was no different from those villagers.

Why is this happening!

Those villagers had been picking the fruit for more than ten years, and they only went there by themselves!

And I am a sixth-order awakener!

"There is something wrong with your body!" Qiao Yuan's voice sounded like a ghost from behind, which really scared Wu Jie.

"Senior, save me!" Wu Jie immediately knelt down and changed his words for help.

If there is really hope to save everything, it must be Qiao Yuan.

"I have two questions, you must answer me truthfully!"

Wu Jie nodded frantically.

"First, do everyone in the village eat this fruit every day?"

"I have been here for half a year. Because of some concerns, I have never eaten it, but other people eat it every day... By the way, except for the village chief, I have not seen him eat it, at least in the past six months."

"Second question, is there anything unusual about the village chief, or something related to this fruit?"

This question made Wu Jie think for a while.

"Although I haven't seen the village chief eat this thing, but this fruit is equivalent to the currency of the village, I can be sure... the village chief has the most fruits!" Wu Jie gritted his teeth.

...

Knowing the situation almost, Qiao Yuan finally took out the fruit and handed it to Wu Jie.

"Eat it and try."

"This..." Wu Jie hesitated, any normal person would be wary of this unknown fruit when he came to this kind of environment.

In half a year, he has never eaten this thing!

Looking at Qiao Yuan's expression, he seemed to know something. After struggling for a long time, Wu Jie picked it up and ate it.

Without much chewing, a fruit has been swallowed.

Unexpectedly delicious, although it looks a bit disgusting.

etc……

Wu Jie's eyes widened. He felt that his body had recovered a little and became stronger.

This is actually a good thing!

"This thing can really restore my corroded state!" Wu Jie exclaimed.

"No hurry, just wait a little longer." Qiao Yuan said lightly.

...

About a few hours passed.

Wu Jie, who was immersed in the joy of recovery, suddenly changed his face, as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

His body was weak again to the same condition as those villagers.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

Sure enough!

Qiao Yuan turned his head and glanced at the fruit forest, and slowly said: "It's very simple, you have to pay a price to enter this fruit forest, and the same is true for awakened people including the seventh level!"

"Eating this kind of fruit can not only fill the stomach in the most superficial way, but also resist the erosion of special Yin Qi. The more you eat, the stronger your resistance is, and then you can pick more fruits."

"However, if you enter it day after day, the erosion of the special Yin Qi will accumulate in your body little by little, until your body can't bear it anymore!"

"At that time, even if you eat a lot of fruits, it will still be irreversible!"

"This thing is both an antidote and a poison, slow poison!"

"..."

...

"What!" Wu Jie was taken aback.

"Who discovered this fruit forest in the first place?" Qiao Yuan asked.

"It seems to be the village chief. You mean he did it on purpose, but why did he do it?" Wu Jie was a little puzzled.

"This thing should have other functions, but we haven't found it yet."

Qiao Yuan touched his belt, and a few key words came to mind.

The village head does not eat.

The village head reserves a large amount of fruit through daily exchange.

Always instilling the idea that humans who stray into the village cannot leave here, let them live in peace...

All of this proves that the village chief knows something!

What is the use of this fruit?

Why does he collect?

This fruit will definitely bring him benefits!

That's why he did it!

Soon Qiao Yuan had a story in his mind.

In order to collect a large number of fruits, the villagers thought that this was the only food, so they willingly entered the fruit forest and picked a large number of fruits.

Then find a way to remove these fruits from these villagers.

The boy who returned home said that the village is very indifferent, and the fruit is equivalent to the banknotes of the human world, so he often exchanged the fruit for the help of the village chief.

The same is true for other villagers in the village, holding the fruits they have worked so hard to collect at the risk of their lives, but are inadvertently deceived by the village chief.

And these villagers have to thank the village chief!

Because he discovered the food that kept the villagers alive, and he saved the lives of the villagers many times.

No one would doubt the village chief's ulterior motives.

To paraphrase a saying on the Internet, don't eat the kind!

...

I'm too sleepy, please take a break
