There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 201: Polluted Occupations in the Rotten Land
Xiao Yang's stiff smile worked.

In this way, Xiao Yang had an additional somewhat restrained little guide by his side.

From the little guide, Xiao Yang got more information about Windmill Town.

Yes, this not-so-small city in front of us is the former Windmill Town.

It is probably impossible to actually enter Windmill Town today.

"Sir Knight, if it were you, you should be able to settle down there!"

Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, the little guy said to Xiao Yang with great envy.

Xiao Yang was a little hesitant to comment on the situation in front of him.

He didn't see what the inside of Windmill Town looked like, but he saw the outer part of Windmill Town, at least that's the part he saw.

If he was not mistaken, this should be the first real survivor base he had seen since entering the Land of Decay, although these survivors could hardly be called human beings in a broad sense.

The little guy brought Xiao Yang to a shack next to the city wall.

During this time, the little guy told Xiao Yang his name.

"Bud!"

He puffed out his chest and announced his name to Xiao Yang. Although he was short, he seemed to want to show his masculinity.

But it's no use. It's useless. Whether it's Xiao Yang or his mother, they all like to add a small word before the little guy's name.

In front of the shack, it was hunched over, its body also covered with scales.

Little Bud's mother's deformity is even more serious than little Bud's.

The whole person's head is moving towards the direction of those river fishmen, and membranes similar to fishmen's webbed feet and palms are growing.

She seemed to be cooking something.

Stirring laboriously in front of a large pot.

As little Bud approached the shack, he happily called out to his mother.

"Mommy mommy!"

Then, after the joy, there was endless complaining.

"You can't go down the river anymore. Uncle Herik went completely crazy when he went down the river a few days ago!"

"I'm already grown up, just leave these things to me!"

Little Bud's mother didn't say anything to the little guy, but just touched his head.

"Really! I touched a big frog today! It was so big!
Ugh..., I touched it before!"

Hearing these words, Xiao Yang, the culprit, turned his head back, his eyes a little vague.

Just now he just glanced at it casually.

This kind of situation was worse than he thought.

On the outskirts of Windmill Town, along the city wall, a large number of shacks have been set up, and all kinds of people gather here.

Some have scales on their bodies, some have tails, some have horns, some have eyes, some have hands, and some even have an extra head. The appearances of the figures are all different, and there are all kinds of them.

You can tell at a glance that something is wrong here. I wonder what the situation is like inside Windmill Town.

Little Bard began to introduce Xiao Yang, the kind knight he met, to his mother.

Xiao Yang was not overly polite and walked into the shack and sat down.

His entry made the shack a little crowded. The hunchbacked Mrs. Yu came to Xiao Yang with some reserve and caution.

Compared to little Bud, who is obviously naive and ignorant of the world, she obviously has more understanding of people like Xiao Yang.

Even though the concentration of extraordinary people continues to decline, the former status of this world is still here, and there are still several inheritances passed down.

Those adults don't treat guys like them as human beings.

A bowl of broth was brought to Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang saw a whole little fish in the wooden bowl. If he saw it correctly when he walked in, there seemed to be only this whole little fish in the dirty soup pot.

There's nothing to dislike.

To be honest, this pot of soup is a bit chaotic.

Unknown grass leaves, some black algae, a few river clams, some sticky snot-like things, and a small fish.

If it were any other time, he would definitely refuse such soup.

But now, since the Mrs. Yu in front of him has already given him the best bowl of soup, what is there to complain about?

He took off his mask, gave a gentle smile to Mrs. Yu in front of him, then picked up the bowl of soup in his hand and poured it into his mouth.

After drinking it in one gulp, Xiao Yang smacked his lips and pondered the taste.

The taste is okay, at least not as chaotic as the appearance.

Others may look down on these guys, but Xiao Yang won't. After experiencing the harm caused by a group of evil gods, his standard for judging people is reduced to only one final standard.

Spirit, cognition or soul.

Wait, isn't that three?

No! Actually, it's one.

In the face of these chaotic evil gods and this terrible world, maintaining cognition is the only way to maintain your spirit, and maintaining your spirit is the only way to protect your soul. When facing evil gods and the pollution they leave behind, these three are a trinity.

Xiao Yang drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp, and then handed the bowl in his hand to Mrs. Yu in front of him.

“Another bowl please!”

For a strong young man like him who is almost two meters tall, drinking only a bowl of soup for a meal is not enough.

Xiao Yang's action was a bit rude, as there was not much broth left in the pot.

Mrs. Yu responded to Xiao Yang's actions and spoke slowly.

"it is good."

The voice was hoarse, sharp, and somewhat difficult to hear, and it also had a strangely familiar feeling. It was those fishmen. The tone was extremely similar to those fishmen.

Little Bard and his mother are both transforming into murlocs.

Even the condition of little Bud's mother had become extremely bad. Even without using the detection technique, this could be directly observed just by looking at it.

It's only that last step away from complete deformation and transformation into a fishman.

It is even more difficult for him to persist to this extent and still retain the last bit of sanity.

What on earth supports this lady? The pollution of the evil god is definitely not so easy to resist!

Picking up the second bowl of soup in his hand, Xiao Yang's eyes fell on the mother and son.

At this time, Mrs. Fish was using her severely deformed hands to gently brush away the black algae on little Bud's shoulders.

At this moment, Xiao Yang may know the answer.

Of course, he didn't drink this bowl of soup for nothing. Xiao Yang took out the specialty, dried meat, which he got from the Zhutian Trading Zone.

It was probably when he exchanged the first sum of gold for equipment for Red Beard. At that time, in addition to potions, he also spent several hundred spirit coins to buy a batch of dried meat.

To some extent, the purchasing power of spirit coins is actually very good. He ate the dried meat he bought with a few hundred spirit coins for a really long time and never finished it.

Under the gaze of little Bud and his mother, Xiao Yang sat upright and slowly took out one piece of red dried meat after another.

Little Bud swallowed his saliva helplessly. At this moment, Xiao Yang's mouth corners were raised high. His smile at this moment was probably the most natural one he had shown today.

"This soup isn't enough. Add some of this."

Sometimes it's nice to be able to do something.

Later, Xiao Yang learned the reason why they were contaminated from Xiao Bud's mouth.

In this camp, there are three most common types of deformed people, which also represent the three types of livelihoods outside Windmill Town.

One is mining. Go east, where there is an abandoned mine with a large number of gnolls lurking in it, where you can mine minerals.

The second is to cut down trees. Go north, where there is a lush bush with some living shrubs. You can pick berries and dry branches there.

The third is fishing. Just find a small river and jump into it to catch some fish.

Three types of things give rise to three fixed occupations.

Yes, a fixed career.

He chose to mine, and went deep into abandoned mines for a long time. Clusters of mineral crystals began to grow on his body, and he gradually lost his flesh and blood until he finally became a living ore man.

This is the miner.

Then there are the lumberjacks, branches growing from their flesh and blood, flowers blooming, and finally even extraordinary fruits being produced.

Finally, the fisherman. According to Little Bud, fishing is the most lowly profession in this camp, and the risks involved have been directly displayed in front of Xiao Yang.

Scales grew on his body, webbed feet grew on his hands and feet, and he became more and more like a fishman, until one day he entered a river and disappeared completely.

Fisherman is the lowest profession in this camp and the one with the least chance of entering the city behind.

Because fishermen have no output after being completely alienated.

Miners can produce extraordinary minerals, lumberjacks can brew extraordinary fruits, and their bodies can be used as extraordinary wood after processing, but fishermen can gain nothing except becoming a fishman.

Windmill Town, no, the Clock Tower City behind it, this is its current name. It opens its gates every month. Every time this happens, the city guards will collect these extraordinary resources from these shack dwellers.

If you contribute enough extraordinary resources, you will be qualified to settle in this city.

Little Bud has always dreamed of entering the city behind him and bringing his mother with him, but this is definitely not possible for the two of them.

Little Bud and his mother are not native to this place. They come from another stronghold in the wilderness. Unfortunately, that stronghold was conquered by people infected with the hand disease many years ago.

At that time, it was just like when Xiao Yang first entered this rotten place and saw those people sitting blankly in the ruins.

Those infected with hand disease will use this method to expand their group.

However, little Bud's mother did not choose to sit in the ruins and wait for some favor like those desperate guys Xiao Yang had seen. Instead, she resolutely pulled little Bud towards Windmill Town.

The hardships involved are hard to describe. It was already difficult for Xiao Yang to walk in this wilderness, let alone a mother who was not strong enough to carry a young child. But Mrs. Yu did it.

But coming to this Windmill Town, no, Clock Tower City, is not necessarily a blessing.

He cast a detection spell towards Mrs. Yu beside him, and a piece of information appeared in front of Xiao Yang.

【The Deformed Human Beings About to Fall】

At this moment, listening to Little Bud's excited description, Xiao Yang let out a long sigh.
