You Call This A D-Level Ability?

"really!"

Xu Ye's expression darkened slightly.

No one will give others benefits for no reason.

Even the immortals and Buddhas need the faith brought by people's worship.

These villagers were able to turn their lives around just by kneeling down and worshiping the mountain god. You can imagine how high the price they paid would be.

"What happened?" Lu Bod asked.

"The incident happened a month ago." Wen Dazhuang said, "The first thing that happened was Wang Ergou who had moved to the city."

"After selling the gold bars, he got a lot of money and bought a house and a car."

"But one day a month ago, he was found dead tragically in his mansion, with several stab wounds on his body."

"Later, according to the police investigation, this was because his former friends heard that he was prosperous and wanted to come to borrow money."

"But Wang Ergou wanted to spend thousands of dollars to send his friends away. Those friends became angry and stabbed him to death."

"There's nothing unusual about this kind of thing, right?" Lu Bod scratched his head, "Not to mention him, similar things happen in the Dragon Kingdom at least hundreds of times every year."

"If it was just Wang Ergou who was in trouble, then I wouldn't be so scared." Wen Dazhuang shook his head.

"Three days after Wang Ergou's accident, Cuihua, who was following the rich man, was discovered by the rich man's first wife. Concentrated sulfuric acid was poured on his face. Not only was his face disfigured, but he died in the hospital because of lack of timely treatment. on the way.”

"The old village chief who became young lost his footing and fell off the cliff during his morning jog because he was too energetic."

"While carrying heavy objects, Erbao accidentally tripped over a broken tree and was crushed to death by the rocks on his body."

"On Liu Tong's way to the city for the market, the steel from a truck transporting steel fell off and hit his body. If he hadn't grown so tall, he might not have died at all."

"Han Jinbo stayed at Widow Li's house for two days and died of exhaustion."

"A single thing looks like an accident, but so many things add up..."

"It's like some kind of curse...or should I say, the price?" Lu Bod followed Wen Dazhuang's words, his expression slightly condensed.

"The way they died is related to the content of their prayers." Xu Ye hit the nail on the head, showing a thoughtful look.

For some reason, this method of equivalent exchange is somewhat similar to the effect of [Vermilion Blood].

"I and a very small number of villagers noticed these things and began to persuade others not to go up the mountain again." Wen Dazhuang continued.

"In addition, based on the villagers' descriptions, I always feel that the mountain god looks very similar to the stranger I saw two years ago!"

"But we are used to being poor. It is not easy for us to have this opportunity to realize our wishes. Most of the villagers are not willing to listen to us."

"They think that the dead people are just coincidences and bad luck. As long as they pay more attention, these problems will not occur!"

"To this day, there are people who kneel down to worship the mountain god every day, hoping that they can meet him when they go up the mountain, so that their wishes can come true!!"

"In addition, there are many villagers who can pick up various shining things on the mountain. After they sell these things, they also make a lot of money."

"Even if you can't see the mountain god, there are still many people heading into the mountain."

After Wen Dazhuang finished speaking in one breath, he couldn't help but light up another cigarette, looking melancholy.

This feeling of powerlessness made him very uncomfortable.

But when he persuaded other villagers, the villagers acted as if their money had been taken away. Not only did they sneer at his words, they even showed strong aggression.

"Professor, what do you think?" Xu Ye turned to look at Professor Lu Bode beside him and asked.

He vaguely guessed that those things emitting light might be the fragments circulating in the Black City, or even bought by Lei Lei.

Lubold pondered for a moment: "This situation is outside the scope of my research."

"But I think that those who can achieve the effect he talks about can only achieve it with at least S-level abilities or above, or Jue Bao with a corresponding level."

"I have to have more intuitive clues to know the specific situation."

"I see." Xu Ye touched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped off the kang, "It's decided, let's go into the mountain and see for ourselves."

"Hey! Have you forgotten what I just told you?" When Wen Dazhuang heard this, he sat up in shock, "The [Mountain God]'s blessing comes with a price!"

"So what?" Xu Ye replied nonchalantly, "We are here this time just to investigate these things."

"The strangers you mentioned, the secrets of the mountain gods, and those mysterious fragments are all things that interest me very much."

"And taking this opportunity, maybe we can restore An Lan's memory."

An Lan's eyes turned slightly and nodded slightly, approving Xu Ye's actions.

"Thank you for the information." Xu Ye walked leisurely towards the door.

Lu Bode shrugged towards Wen Dazhuang and followed Xu Ye's pace: "You know, for researchers, this kind of incident cannot help but arouse curiosity."

An Lan followed the two of them silently and left the door together.

Wen Dazhuang chased after him anxiously, stood at the door and shouted loudly: "You must be careful, you must not conduct transactions!"

"Otherwise, disaster will definitely happen!"

Xu Ye just waved his hand and disappeared into the alleys of the village without looking back, walking straight towards Songfeng Mountain.

Wen Dazhuang just stared at the backs of the three people silently.

It wasn't until they disappeared completely that the worry and panic on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.

"The seeds have been planted..."

"The next step is more interesting, isn't it?"

Under the sunlight, the smile on his face became particularly sinister, and a faint black aura filled the air.

"Can you resist the temptation?"

…

About twenty minutes after leaving Wen Dazhuang's house.

The three of them, Xu Ye, stood at the foot of the towering Songfeng Mountain, looking up at this strange mountain peak.

Because villagers often go to the mountains to cut firewood and hunt.

Over time, there were more traces of people walking on this mountain peak, which turned into a mountain road, leading directly into the mountain.

On the way here, he had already told An Lan all the past stories in Wen Dazhuang's mouth.

It's just that An Lan is still confused and has not recalled any memory at all.

Lu Bode glanced around the mountain, then turned to Xu Ye: "Are we going to go directly into the mountain like this?"

"Yes." The expression on Xu Ye's face was full of fun, "I have a hunch that we may encounter something very interesting."

Lu Bode and An Lan were quite puzzled by Xu Ye's inexplicable excitement.

But only Xu Ye knew.

Since he came to Black City and arrived at the foot of Songfeng Mountain.

Four people told lies in front of him!

"What is your purpose?"

Xu Ye wore an unpredictable smile and took one step into the mountain.
