Returning from the abyss

Chapter 165 The Curtain Ends - The Root of Blood

Longevity Village has finally truly become a legend.

A large number of villagers who were the carriers of the curse died, and the blood that was the source of the curse has also died. Although the beast has disappeared, generally speaking, the disaster called "Blood Disaster" has become a thing of the past.

The madness of the red moon is not permanent, the moon returns to normal after a period of time.When the silver brilliance fell on the ground again, the pureblood hunters leisurely walked towards the exit from the mountains.

They have returned to normal, and have the same birth, aging, sickness and death as ordinary people.But this is exactly what they are longing for. With the skills that have been honed over the years and the support of blood skills that can still be used, it is not particularly difficult to go to the outside world and become a normal person to spend a lifetime.

"I heard there's a war going on outside."

"Then we can become soldiers! Anyway, with our strength, it is impossible to defeat some ordinary people."

"Forget it, I want to find a quiet place to farm. Third sister, fifth brother, how about you?"

After hearing this, Shi Xiaolang smiled slightly.

"Let's find a way to do business."

"Fifth brother, you like military uniforms so much, I thought you liked being a soldier."

"Look at Lisuo. Third sister, what do you want to do?"

Wu Que tilted his head, thought for a while, and said a little uncertainly, "Hunting?"

"Still hunting!"

Everyone burst into laughter, Wu Que smiled lightly, Shi Xiaolang raised his hand to suppress the laughter.

"Hunting is also good. I heard that animal products are valuable outside. It's not bad for me to be a buyer for Third Sister."

"Then thank you...uh!"

Just as Wu Que was about to answer, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he squatted down covering his stomach.

The hunters immediately gathered around, some asked about the situation and some stretched out their hands to feel the pulse, but the magpie was sweating profusely from the pain, but there was nothing unusual about the pulse.

"What happened to Third Sister?" Mu Zilan was anxious.

Just then, a reply came from behind the hunters.

"childbirth."

They turned around and saw three people standing there.

Cheng Wuling, Su Shengge, Mo Xiren.

They all had varying degrees of blood on their bodies, and even Su Shengge didn't bother to decompose the blood on their bodies, it was obvious that they had just killed a lot of people.

There is no need to ask for proof, there are already many figures in the surrounding woods, including villagers in the village, people wearing pig face masks, and the "intruders" who were killed by them before.

These are corpses.

"What do you mean by childbirth?" Shi Xiaolang left the crowd and walked to the front.

"It's a curse."

Cheng Wuling pointed at Wu Que and said.

"The 'blood' of the night clan that was born with the curse, does his demise mean the demise of the curse? Although he didn't say a few words during the battle, many of them were very suspicious... In addition, as a skilled craftsman, the prayer room The state of disrepair of such an important mirror raises the suspicion that it may have been left over from an 'old generation'."

"The previous generation? This generation?"

Shi Xiaolang's lips trembled, and at this moment, the magpie let out a scream, the sound of bone cracking and flesh tearing came from behind him, a black magpie covered in a bloody film The creature slid out of her lower abdomen, even with a bloody umbilical cord attached.

"This, this is..."

Wu Que was able to speak at this time. She knelt on the ground, staring at the "fetus" that was only the size of a palm, her eyes filled with hatred and anger.

New fetus?

What a joke!
The bright knife light was pulled out by herself, penetrated the fetus's head and nailed it to the ground, and then touched the catalyst carried by Mu Zilan, and the green flame immediately wrapped the fetus and burned it up!
"I really hope this will solve the problem, after all, I'm not going to do meaningless killings..." Cheng Wuling took a step forward, "However, the blood will select 'receptors' one by one along the curse to be reborn, If Wu Que's blood essence is exhausted, it will be... postponed to the next one."

Shi Xiaolang had already felt the pain in his lower abdomen, and only then did he understand what Cheng Wuling meant by using "receptor" instead of "matrix".

"So you're here to kill us?" He laughed miserably.

"Yes, in order to let you at least have a chance to talk about the old days, we give priority to saying that the hidden dangers in the village have been eradicated. As the newborn Night Clan, we can also guarantee... there is no rotten blood here except you. gone."

Cheng Wuling showed a helpless and sad expression at the right time.

"Then, then I gave birth to blood here! Just let them go! As long as someone is in charge of extending the bloodline!" Mu Zilan shouted.

"It's a pity... I won't allow it. In addition, since the curse is revived, the rotting blood in their bodies will also be revived, and you will know what will happen to them outside the area by then."

"What? But... But there must be some loopholes that can be exploited! There must be a way..."

"Okay, Zilan."

Wu Que patted Mu Zilan's shoulder.

"The few of us tried to assassinate the Night Clan out of our hatred for this curse, but we still ended up with such a useless ending..."

She raised her head and looked at Cheng Wuling, with a confident and elegant smile on her bloodless face.

"Cheng—an outsider, in your opinion, is our life a mistake from birth?"

"……Yes."

"That's such a pity."

With a twist of the blade, the green fire transmitted to Wu Que's body along the umbilical cord, and quickly burned her to ashes.

This action of hers seemed to give a signal to the hunters. In the endless silence, everyone drew out their weapons. Shi Xiaolang was the first to take out his own knife, cut open the abdomen, and cut the forming fetus picked out.

There was a sound of falling to the ground behind him, Shi Xiaolang didn't turn his head, or rather, he didn't dare to turn his head.After he silently counted to twenty, he raised his head slightly and looked at the pale sky in the east.

"The curse... is over."

Flames spread from his body, burning this man to ashes.

Cheng Wuling stepped forward, circled around, confirmed everyone's death, then turned her head to look at Su Shengge and Mo Xiren who hadn't spoken the whole time.

"I underestimated their determination, but as far as the result is concerned, it should be a satisfactory result."

"Hmph...I absolutely don't want to be with you again." Mo Xiren said coldly.

"Feel free, we can leave. The blood plague has been eradicated."

After throwing down these words, Cheng Wuling walked towards the valley alone.

===================
This is a cabin.

This is what Lu Ning confirmed after waking up. The very distinctive hatch and the rickety feeling make people feel that she is sitting on a boat. In fact, she looks out of the window under the black night sky unique to the distribution center. Sailing on a dark sea.

The hunger in her abdomen reminded her that she should eat, and her body was fully recovered by the high-quality healing service of the distribution center, so she opened the cabin door and came to the aisle.

"Good morning."

As soon as he reached the stairs, Lu Ning ran into Shu Xingruo who was just going downstairs.Her complexion was not very good, she was holding a plate of food wrapped in wrapping paper in her hand, and she didn't greet Lu Ning with the usual enthusiastic tone when she saw Lu Ning.

"Morning, are you... all right?"

"Fortunately, I'm lucky... By the way, the above is a space for entertainment and conversation, which is not much different from the one we take every time we return, but the space is bigger. There are all the people who have successfully upgraded this time. You can go check it out."

"Sorry." Lu Ning said suddenly.

"It wasn't your fault... just give me some time."

Shu Xingruo walked around Lu Ning in a panic, and hurried back to his room.

After going upstairs, Lu Ning could see a wide hall with some waiters with sunflower heads walking back and forth delivering drinks.Just after a slight pause, the waiter's polite inquiry came from beside him:
"Miss Lu Ning, do you need guidance?"

"Is there any difference between here and the first order?"

"It's basically the same, so before you enter, please allow me to tell you some precautions about the second-tier distribution center."

Sunflower gestured sideways to the seat beside her, and Lu Ning walked over and sat down.

"please say."

"The second-level distribution center is basically the same as the first-level, whether it is the scene classification or the length of stay. Of course, this three-day cruise is given to you as a bonus, and it is not included in the length of stay. "Sunflower stretched out his palm forward, and a beautifully packaged letter landed in his hand.

"For those of you who can enter the second level, we have provided an explanatory booklet with a lot of things to pay attention to. Your time is precious, and I will only remind you of the three most important points here."

Lu Ning nodded and took the letter.

"The first and second-order distribution centers start, and the score may be negative, so please be careful not to return your own score to zero. Once it returns to zero, no matter what method is used to supplement it later, it will inevitably be sent to the 'execution' scene. Second, two This is the first gathering of people in the stage distribution center. Please be sure to believe the information provided by our officials, not the private insider provided by others. If this causes your death, it will be our distress. Third, please pay attention to your own soul condition, believe Your goal is to return to your hometown, so it is also very important to ensure a healthy and sane soul."

After finishing speaking, Sunflower bowed deeply to Lu Ning.

"In addition, any reasonable request can be made to the waiter on the cruise ship, all services here are free, please enjoy this vacation to the fullest."

The waiter left by himself, Lu Ning put the letter in her arms, and looked into the hall.

The conventionally visible bar now provides various ordering services in addition to drinks, and independent small shops are arranged on the other side, where all kinds of entertainment can be enjoyed.If you hate the lobby with too many people, you can also ask for a single room, which is deep in the corridor.

The distribution center is not stingy about material life.

There are not many people in the hall now, there are two drunk men lying on the bar counter, Chen Fangyu and his companions are sitting at a round table in the corner, they also waved hello to Lu Ning and the others.

"Did you see my companion?" Lu Ning walked over and asked.

"Room No. [-], just go and ring the doorbell." Chen Fangyu seemed to be in a very good mood. After all, he survived and passed the promotion. Even though he knew the road ahead was difficult, he could allow himself to relax.

After thanking her, Lu Ning walked to the door of Room No. [-] and rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door was opened. Seeing Lu Ning, Mo Lianren was taken aback for a moment, then beamed with joy, and opened the door to welcome her in.

Lu Ning walked into the door and found that the room was very large, and there were quite a few people here.

Ning Yeyi was curled up on the sofa, her face had returned to its original appearance, one hand was holding a detective novel, the other was under her head, her whole body was isolated from the outside world, and she still had a pile of A pile of suspense and detective works from various worlds, needless to say, we all know how satisfied she is.

Zhu Hongye and Chu Jianting each held a bottle of wine and sat across a piece of glass in a small theater. A rough-looking martial arts movie was shown on the huge screen, but both of them were enjoying themselves. The look of it.

Su Shengge was sitting in front of a virtual reality game console, wearing a helmet on his head, and was in the middle of an immersive experience, which was considered a relatively quiet one.

There is a square table in the middle, Cheng Wuling, Zhao Chenshuang, Mo Xiren and a man they don't know are playing a set of board games they don't know what it is.

"woke up?"

Cheng Wuling looked up to see Lu Ning and asked.

"Hmm... what about the others?"

"Shu Xing is in a bad mood in the room, and Ye Tisi is probably blowing the wind in the bow of the boat. The others are either dead or have not been promoted."

"Who is he?"

Lu Ning pointed at the man who was playing games with the three of them.

The man glanced at Lu Ning with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, but without standing up, he leaned on the chair and introduced himself: "My name is Xiang Yi. We should have known each other in the scene, but unfortunately we didn't have the chance to meet later."

"He is from the kingdom of fairy tales." Zhao Chenshuang added, "According to what he said, the only time he saw you was in the prison cell, and he had the appearance of a little girl at that time."

"That little girl? Fairytale Heaven? It's you—"

"It's okay, right? I'm a part of the credit for your easy life this time. I scored third this time." Xiang Yi raised the corner of his mouth, "It means that the officials also recognized my achievements."

"Third? How did he know?" Lu Ning looked at Cheng Wuling.

"The top ten are on the announcement of the cruise ship. There are no names, but there are scores." Cheng Wuling said calmly, "Probably telling everyone who is promoted not to be too complacent and to look at other people's scores."

"Then he is from Fairy Tale Heaven..."

"Well, but don't worry, none of us will hold back when we enter the scene, so relax now." Cheng Wuling glanced at Xiang Yi.

"It's really scary. If it wasn't for my courage, I would have been frightened—hey, it's your turn." Xiang Yi squeezed the card in his hand and waved it to Cheng Wuling.

It was only then that Lu Ning noticed that the four of them were playing a set of card board games with very complicated rules, and there were several types of colors and cards.

"Then... first act the card, discover the treasure." Cheng Wuling took out a card in his hand and threw it out, then reached out and grabbed the stack of cards in front of him with the back of the gold coin card, "turn over the top two cards, and trigger the effect .”

"Ok?"

"These two were adjusted by [Astrologer Duran] before. The first is 'Haunted Farm', and then 'Dark Raven'. Haunted Farm is a round-continuous effect, so the Dark Raven judges, roll the dice, if the result If it is 1, 3, and 5, my entire army will be doubled, and if it is 2, 4, and 6, all of my troops will die in half."

Cheng Wuling picked up a white dice and threw it into the plate in the middle of the table.

"It's four! Haha!" Xiang Yi clapped his hands, "Now all your soldiers are gone!"

"The effect of the haunted farm, the lost troops in this round are converted into an equal number of first-level undead." Cheng Wuling calmly removed some white counting numbers in front of her, and then put some black ones.

"Yes, but you chose human beings, and the bonus of coexistence of humans and undead will also halve the combat effectiveness of all troops. You are finished, next round I..."

"When more than half of my troops are in a state of low morale, the crisis card 'Blood Sacrifice' can be triggered. By sacrificing half of the troops whose morale is lower than the original one, a hero is drawn. Then... [Master Craftsman Javier], The passive effect is the technology level +1, so my technology is level [-], and the human forces sacrificed by me are also converted into undead."

Xiang Yi obviously didn't expect such a result, so he grabbed the cards and looked at it, and found that this was really the case.

"Then, the manufacturing right of this round is also used to recruit a hero. According to the rules, when all my troops belong to the same type, I can recruit that type or the hero of the faction I originally chose. This time I draw undead heroes, [ Blood Knight Recht], the passive effect is to make an additional undead troop, I create LV4 undead troop, death sacrifice."

"What? Wait, no, boss, how about I form an alliance with you?" Xiang Yi immediately made a gesture of surrender.
