Chapter 21 The Village of Calamity
Chapter 21 The Village of Disaster
"This gentleman..." Suddenly, a childish voice came, and a child of seven or eight years old, standing timidly not far away, looking at the two of them with a look on their faces.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Well, sir, do you still need sea cat eggs now?" Xiaowa looked at the experiment carefully and whispered, "I saw that you didn't buy it just now, so..."
"Do you have sea cat eggs?" It's not that Yan didn't believe it, but that this little kid looks only seven or eight years old, so how could there be such a valuable thing on her body?
The little kid nodded, "I have it, but I didn't bring it with you. You can go back with me to get it."
"How is it?" Shi Yan looked at Ye Yier and asked, "Do you want to follow and have a look?"
Ye Yier nodded happily. Although she said she was not disappointed when she didn't buy the sea cat eggs, she still felt a little regretful. Now she was naturally happy when she heard what Xiaowa said.
The little kid smiled happily, grinning and revealing a row of millet teeth.
"Wait, do you want to bring Baoer with you?" Ye Yier didn't mention it, and Shi Yan really forgot about him.
The two returned to the inn, woke Baoer up, and followed the little kid.
Along the way, many people pointed at them or avoided them and walked around.
The little kid lowered his head, dared not look at everyone, and walked quickly out of the city.
Obviously, this is not the first time that he has been treated like this.
Shi Yan listened carefully and roughly understood the reason why everyone pointed at them.
"Look, it's the kid from the disaster village. What's going on with the guards? Let the people from the disaster village enter the city!"
"That's right, you see, there are people walking with him, aren't you afraid of being infected with bad luck?"
"Shh, let's be gentle. I guess I'm from another place. I haven't heard of the disaster village. Let's just wait and see the show! I've always heard that I've never seen what kind of situation is to get involved in disaster!"
"Hehe, that's right!"
Shi Yan frowned deeply and muttered in his heart, "The village of disaster?"
When I arrived outside Qianshui City, I walked north along the beach, passed a reef mountain, and passed a place full of stranded ships.
Along the way, the population has become less and less popular, and the environment has become more and more desolate. The black wind is like a ghost cry.
"Shi Yan, why is this place so strange?" Ye Yier was a little scared and held Shi Yan tightly.
"Wife, don't be afraid. I'm here, I will protect you!"
"Little brat, shut up!" Shi Yan glared at him fiercely.
Baoer was afraid that he would come to grab his candy bag again, so she didn't say anything back and snorted in the face.
Shi Yan patted Ye Yier lightly, said don’t be afraid, and looked around with a frown.
"Kid, haven't you arrived yet?"
The little kid who led the way looked at Shi Yan timidly and said carefully, "Sir, please believe me, it will be here soon, right in front!"
Seeing that his eyes were real, there was no sign of lying.
After walking for a few more minutes, I finally arrived at a deserted gray valley, with graves in front of the valley, a little gloomy.
On the other side of the valley, a black sea area was surrounded by a fisherman. When he saw Shi Yan and others, he put down his work and looked at them coldly.
“We seem a little unpopular!”
The little kid brought a few people into the village. As soon as he entered the village, he opened his voice and shouted: "Friends, I'm bringing the guests back, come out and greet them!"
An old man walked out of a broken house, "Xiaoxun, stop making pranks. In our village, how could there be any guests coming!"
"No, Mr. Mo, there are really customers. They are here to buy sea cat eggs." The little kid named Xiaoxun hurriedly explained when Mr. Mo didn't believe it.
"Oh?" Old Mo was slightly surprised, "Is there really a customer coming to our Renjia Village?"
"Yes, Mr. Mo, look, it's them." Xiaoxun said, pointing at Shi Yan and the others.
At this time, the people in the village came out one after another. There were not many people in the village, only more than ten families, with 40 or fifty people, most of them were elderly and children, but there were not many young people.
They all looked at Shi Yan and others curiously, as if they were looking at some strange animal, chattering and whispering something.
"Sorry, the guests who came from afar, because there are few foreign guests in our village on a daily basis, so everyone is a little curious, please forgive me."
Shi Yan was uncomfortable when they saw him, so he had to cough lightly and explain his purpose.
"Sea cat egg," Old Mo pondered for a moment and asked carefully, "You really want it?"
Shi Yan was confused by him. If he didn't need it, why did he run so far?
Mr. Mo explained, "Maybe Xiaoxun didn't explain it to you clearly. This sea cat egg...why? There are some weird things!"
Are there some weirdness?
Shi Yan looked at Ye Yier, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
Mr. Mo took Shi Yan and others to a relatively complete house, "Our village is called Renjia Village. From ancient times to the present, they have made a living by hunting. And it is not ordinary hunting. Our Renjia Village has a secret technique that can detect and steal the eggs of spirit beasts."
"Detection of spirit beast eggs!" Shi Yan was shocked. Spirit beast eggs rarely appear on the market. This is well-known. The reason why they rarely appear on the market is that it is difficult to find them. Secondly, there are often protected spirit beasts beside the spirit beast eggs, and not one or two, but a group. This is why the eggs of the most ordinary first-grade spirit beast sea cat can also be sold for twelve second-grade spirit stones. And this dilapidated small mountain village actually has this ability!
It is a part of their life to steal spirit beast eggs.
Shi Yan suddenly felt a little interested in this Renjia Village, or the Village of Doom.
But if what Mr. Mo said is true, then why do people in Renjia Village seem to live a good life?
Shi Yan told Mr. Mo about his doubts. Mr. Mo sighed lightly and smiled bitterly: "Originally, Renjia Village is still rich, it is the richest village around, but one day, after a villager from my Renjia Village brought back a strange egg, everything changed."
"What does it mean? Is there something strange about that egg?" Shi Yan asked.
Old Mo smiled, pushed open the door of the room, and said with a smile: "I won't mention this, you can take a look at this sea cat egg first."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shi Yan didn't have time to ask questions, so he had to take Ye Yier and Baoer into the house.
The house is not big, only more than fifty square meters, but there are rows of wooden frames neatly placed. The spirit beast eggs on the wooden frames are arranged neatly. It is estimated that there are about two or three hundred spirit beast eggs.
Shi Yan was stunned. This was the first time he had seen so many spirit beast eggs.
Ye Yier was not too surprised. She didn't know the value of these spirit beast eggs. Her eyes were rumbling around and looking curiously.
Baoer held Ye Yier's hand, and cut it into her small mouth like an adult.
Following Mr. Mo and walking deep into the house, Shi Yan found that there are many types of spiritual beast eggs here, basically all of which are five basic attributes. Shi Yan was surprised at this time. So many spiritual beast eggs with different attributes will not conflict with each other?
This is like the storage of spiritual flowers, and has the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint.
"Old Mo, will so many attributes of spirit beast eggs be put together, will it not damage the quality of spirit beast eggs?" Shi Yan couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Mo laughed: "This is one of the secret techniques of our Renjia Village, the effects of the spirit locking array and the sleeping array!"
He explained: "Look, are there some spiritual beast eggs placed here at some distance? This is where the spirit lock array is engraved. The spirit lock array can lock the spiritual power of the item itself and a certain space, and will not leak out, and will not cause spiritual power of different attributes to interfere with each other, which will lead to the decline in the quality of the spirit beast egg!"
"Where is the sleeping array?" Shi Yan asked again.
"The sleeping array can cause some spirit beasts that are about to break out of the shell to enter a sleeping state, so that high-level spirit beast eggs will not devour the spiritual power of the low-level spirit beast eggs."
After hearing this, I thought about something.
These two formations, one lock and the other fixed, are really perfect combinations. Shi Yan was thinking, can these two formations be used on Linghua?
If possible, it can avoid the embarrassing situation where jade boxes are too expensive and cannot be stored on a large scale.
Just as Shi Yan was thinking, several people came to one of the wooden frames. This row of wooden frames was mostly water-based spirit beast eggs. The shells of water-based spirit beast eggs were mostly blue, ranging from light blue to dark blue. However, there was a white egg stuck in the middle, which was particularly conspicuous.
Old Mo carefully took off the white egg and said, "This one is it."
"This?" Shi Yan shouted in surprise: "This white egg is a sea cat egg? Could it be wrong?"
"Yes, we have seen sea cat eggs in a store that specializes in selling spirit beasts. That thing is light blue, it is completely different from yours!" Ye Yier looked at Mr. Mo suspiciously, "Mr. Mo, you won't be..."
She didn't finish her words, but anyone knew what it meant, of course, except Baoer.
Mr. Mo coughed and said embarrassedly: "I have been born for more than 60 years and have never lied to deceive others. My ancestors can testify! This is indeed a sea cat egg. A villager in my village brought it back from a sea cat nest. At that time, there were four sea cat eggs in a nest, only this one was blue, and the other three seemed to have been absorbed by it and had exhausted and died."
"The village's appraiser identified that this is a second-grade sea cat egg."
Shi Yan sneered, "Second-grade sea cat eggs? You can always cheat me. Sea cats are all first-grade, where does the second-grade?"
"You!" Old Mo said angrily, "I have been born for more than 60 years and have never lied to anyone. My ancestors can testify!"
"Hey, there is actually an alienated spirit beast egg here, it's really strange!"
Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared behind Shi Yan out of thin air, as if he was already standing here, or as if he suddenly stepped out of the void and stood behind Shi Yan.
