Chapter 206 Living and Dying

Some invisible substances in the cave were restless, and the plant roots spreading from above bound the ancient dragon, but the ancient dragon seemed to be affected by something and was about to wake up.

It may be because of the breath of the underworld... Mu Ning asked the bone dragon to close the door quickly.

The woman was also very flustered, she didn't care about arguing with Mu Ning, and went straight to the place where Gu Long was entrenched.

Mu Ning turned off the ferryman's ability, and in an instant, the restless energy, illusory dragon, and woman all disappeared.

Kind of like an ostrich burying its head in the sand when it's in danger.

"Let's go, the big one is coming."

Mu Ning didn't have time to explain, the three unconscious people were carried by the void force, and ran straight away.

Tang Huolin and the statement didn't realize anything, so they had to follow them outside, because they couldn't see the scene in the nihilistic world, and they were in a daze along the way. Time was running out, and Mu Ning couldn't fully describe it to them. Most of them can only be guessed.

What the hell is going on?
What did Mu Ning see that made him run away?

Running all the way through the corridor, and coming out of the altar, while the silver star tracks were circling, Mu Ning continued to open the ferryman and glanced back.

Nothing... It was very quiet. The waking dragon gave Mu Ning an unimaginable sense of oppression, but until now, there was no movement at all.

Mu Ning looked back at the previous village. Unlike the broken walls in reality, the village is still there, which means that the ferryman's ability still exists.

Although there was a commotion by Mu Ning in the auditorium on the north side of the village, it has not yet spread to the West Village.

Every family is still busy with their own affairs... Mu Ning suddenly felt that their lives are all false, just reincarnated in this empty world, most people don't know they are in such a false world, right?
With the body buried under the earth and the soul resting on the ground, this village is literally a ghost village.

"Get out of this village first, go back to the defense line and report what happened here,"

Tang Huolin said,
"There are so many people buried under the soil, and there are weird rituals in the village. There may be a lot of secrets here."

Mu Ning thought it was right, but the dragon entrenched here was too strong, it gave him a sense of sight of a candle dragon, so he could only go to rescue it, and it was purely to deliver food by himself.

Before he had time to close the ferryman, Mu Ning saw a peasant woman walking towards him.

This is... the mother of the little boy.

As representatives of the simple villagers, the little boy's family felt that they were quite friendly.

"Muning, let's go!"

The two were about to leave when they found Mu Ning looking at a certain place and said.

"Wait a minute, this man seems to know something."

Mu Ning said.

The kindness on the peasant woman's face disappeared, replaced by silence. Mu Ning had never seen such an expression on the faces of other villagers. She seemed... the same type of person as the village head and the three "young people".

"Outsiders, you seem to have awakened the soul dragon."

The peasant woman said softly.

"Is that the name of the dragon? Who are you?"

After coming to this village, he was stunned by many things and needed to find clues. He had arrested the village chief to ask for directions, and after going to the dragon cave, he asked Bone Dragon to watch him, but he disappeared after he came out.

"A member of Longjian Village has been waiting here for hundreds of years, and you broke the tranquility here."

said the peasant woman.

Longjian Village was born before the Alien Beast War. Soul Dragon was the overlord of this area, but its power was at the soul level. At that time, it was in the stage of replacement and was not very strong.

At that time, in order to avoid the alien beasts and the human army recruiting everywhere, the village head of Longjian Village wanted to avoid the disaster caused by the alien beast war, so he came up with the idea of ​​collectively entering the Soul Dragon Soul Realm.

It is very difficult to improve the ability of the soul dragon. It needs to constantly eat the spiritual substance of the owner. This method of entering the field of the soul dragon is very simple.

Bury the living people into the ground, connect them with the vines of the giant star vine tree, let the soul dragon sleep, construct a dream, and let these people exist in it.

This is not shelter, but planting people like seedlings, and then continuously harvesting their scattered souls, and their bodies buried deep below are like seeds of seedlings.

"Originally, as long as the alien beast war is over, the villagers should be released, but the village chief chose the former between eternal life in dreams and freedom. He even blocked the villagers' memories, making them drunk and dreaming of death."

"Only those who realize that they are in a dream can escape the control of the village chief."

Mu Ning finally understood the truth of the matter, and the young people mentioned on the escape stone tablet were like this.

They realized that this was a dream, stole the village chief's puppet, and wanted to escape from here, but their bodies were buried deep in the ground, and they gradually despaired.

After engraving "Fake, all fake..." on the stone tablet, he was caught by the village chief and burned to the ground on the altar of the Star Festival.

"The soul dragon is awake, what will happen to you?"

Mu Ning said.

Anyway, these villagers are innocent.

"It's been too long, our body has died, only the soul is attached to the domain of the soul dragon."

said the peasant woman,

"When the soul dragon wakes up, we will be wiped out."

Most people in the village don't know what the village chief is doing. They are busy day after day, doing false things in a false world.

"Who is the gravekeeper?"

Mu Ning asked.

The woman seems to be guarding or controlling the soul dragon.

"I don't know, she existed before I broke free from the shackles."

said the peasant woman.

After Mu Ning finished asking questions, he basically understood what happened in this village, Soul Dragon, Star Vine Tree, Gravekeeper, and Longjian Village.

But he still has one last question, why the peasant woman came to him.

"After regaining consciousness, I was still with my children and husband. I carefully avoided the detection of the village chief, fearing that he and his subordinates would find me, but I always felt that I was still happy."

"I can always be with my family, my son and my husband, and even though it's been going on for hundreds of years, I'm still very satisfied."

"But gradually, I felt that this might not be what they wanted. My child will never grow up, and my husband can only work hard day after day, as if he was in chains and imprisoned in a cage."

The peasant woman said softly,
"I want to see, if they are sober like me, if everyone in the village is sober... what choice will they make."

Continue to linger in the door, or...return to dust.

This was the peasant woman's request, and it was also a deal she exchanged with Mu Ning for all the information she knew.

Of course, Mu Ning has the right to choose whether to accept or not.

The soul dragon seemed to be stabilized by that woman... As long as the soul dragon doesn't wake up, nothing will happen.

Here, no one wants Soul Dragon to wake up yet.

Now that the information is collected, it seems that there is a possibility of negotiation.
