Emperor Shentongjian

Chapter 799 Unusual situation in the mountains
Zhan Changfeng stood on the water and looked up at the opposite mountain wall. The mountain wall was covered with semi-circular stone gates, and no one could be seen. Compared with the two previous settlements, the Gorim settlement was obviously safer. They can live in mountains without water and without exposure.

However, she questioned the news that "the people of Gorim are all dead" described in the mission, and she could clearly sense many faint breaths of life.

Zhan Changfeng concealed his figure with a secret formula, and passed through a stone gate. The cave was not big, and there was only room for a bed of earth. On it lay a short man, still breathing, but paralyzed.

There is another door on the side of the cave, and through it is another small cave, which is also a soil bed and a person.

According to the leader of the previous settlement, Gorim's residences are distributed like a beehive. One or two people occupy a small cave, and they usually go to the inner cave hall for meals and group activities on weekdays.

She went down through the doors and should be able to reach the cave hall, but every small cave was full of paralyzed people, which made her suspicious.

This action is not like the work of evil spirits. Evil spirits are evil souls, or elves and ghosts affected by the force of resentment and miasma. They feed on the flesh and soul of living beings, and they will not let them be paralyzed here with good intentions.

Zhan Changfeng stretched out his palm and hung it on top of one person's head, and flicked through his life's memories, but there was nothing special about it, as if he suddenly became like this.

She observed a few more people, and they were all in the same situation.

One thing worth noting is that they were all paralyzed, unable to speak, open their eyes, or move their bodies, but they could feel touch, taste, hearing, and were conscious.The heart howled in pain.

When she listened carefully, she noticed that someone was coming in front of her. After waiting for a while, the side door was pushed open, and a lame old man came in.

The lame old man's eyes were numb, and he was holding a wooden bucket in his hand, which contained some kind of mushy food.

He skillfully inserted a funnel into the mouth of the paralyzed man, scooped up a spoonful of the battered paste and poured it in, then pulled out the funnel, picked up the barrel, and went to the next small cave.

Zhan Changfeng didn't feel any other aura from him, so he couldn't help feeling puzzled. Could it be that she came a step too late, and the so-called evil spirit has already left?
Her consciousness swept across the entire Gorim over and over again, and there was nothing else going on.

After thinking about it, Zhan Changfeng returned to the foot of the mountain, where there was a shelf, on which was a half-person-high bronze gong, which was used to remind people in the mountain when foreign settlements came to visit.

She knocked a dozen times, and the deafening clang resounded through the sky.

The living people in the mountains were not recruited, but a few adult locusts were recruited. The adult locusts were as big as a strong cow, with thin wings on their backs, their front claws were like sickles, and their shape was like a praying mantis.

Zhan Changfeng killed them with a single sword, and waited for a while, a rock next to it moved, revealing a crack, with a pair of eyes watching the outside, probably seeing that there was no danger, and then moved the rock away again point, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?"

"The leader of the Zige settlement sent me here. I want to exchange some seeds, and then ask the whereabouts of our Zige settlement merchants."

"Oh." He turned sideways, gesturing for her to come in.

The people here are generally thin and short, and the corridors built are extremely small. She has to bend over to walk, and the Gorim in front of her straightened up, three inches from the top, not to mention most of them are stooped, like prematurely senile.

The Gorimu who led the way was not very old, and he realized with bewilderment that there was a "big monster" behind him. He ran forward a few steps quickly, then turned back timidly, his numb eyeballs moved, and a few strands floated up. Curious and envious, "You must be the general of Zige, you can eat so tall."

eat?
Zhan Changfeng thought back to the leaders and guards in the Zige settlement, and the relatively strong people seemed to have official positions.

He didn't ask Zhan Changfeng to reply, and thought to himself, "Only leaders and generals can have enough to eat. If they are strong, they can choose men. Women mate and give birth to the next generation. I don't have anything to eat, that's why. I was skinny, so I didn't have children, but it's different now"

Zhan Changfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, she knew what "it's different" meant, in the whole mountain, there were only [-] people who could move their hands and feet, one lame old man, two young men, and thirteen pregnant women , four children of varying ages.

"Come in." After passing through a winding passage, the Golimu pushed open a small wooden door, and inside was a relatively spacious cave hall.

"What about food!"

"Where did you die!"

The pregnant women vented their emotions violently and painfully, picking up the stones around them and smashing them casually. The hunched-backed Gorimu nodded in despair and flattery, and ran into another door. food.

On the other side, a Gorimu with a broken arm hurriedly stopped the four rampaging children, "You can't eat that, only mothers can eat that."

He took out a black bowl, "Eat this."

The children cried and refused to eat the rotten vegetables and leaves in the bowl.

"Don't cry, I'll drink this for you again." He took out another jar of urine with distress, "It's all fresh today."

The children burst into laughter.

"Is there any more?" The lame old man limped back with an empty bucket.

The broken-armed man wrinkled his face sadly, "I'll mix some more."

He took out a basket of dried excrement, poured it into the tank, and sprinkled some grain husks into it, and looked at the lame old man blankly, "The water in the underground river is polluted, and the clean water and urine we store are all gone." Not enough."

The lame old man kept his face blank, moved his lips, and squatted in the corner with his knees hugged without saying a word.

The broken-armed man dropped the mixing tank and stood there not knowing what to do.

After more than half an hour, the hunched Gorimu finally coaxed all the pregnant women, and he said to Zhan Changfeng with a tired face, "Our groundwater is gone, can I ask you for some water on credit? "

Zhan Changfeng asked without answering, "Where did the people who came here to do business go?"

His eyes flickered, "I don't know, I haven't seen it before."

"That's right, how come it's just you guys, what about the other Golims?"

"." He wanted to show a sad expression, but his already desperate eyes turned ferocious. "One or two months ago, everyone here was infected with a strange disease, and they were all paralyzed overnight."

"look at me."

He looked at Zhan Changfeng in shock, and the inexplicable fear made him want to run away, but his legs couldn't move, as if he was caught by something, fine sweat crawled on his pale face, "What are you doing?"

Zhan Changfeng checked his memory, everything is fine, but there are two slightly strange things, the first one, a long time ago, he cursed Gorim up and down, and said they all disappeared, He was able to have the right to mate and have children. As a result, the next day, all the Golims were paralyzed, leaving only his father, younger brother, and a woman who had young children and was pregnant.

The second one, not long after, he had another dream, in which someone told him that his wish had been fulfilled, and it was time to fulfill the wish, and the price to pay for fulfilling the wish was to take care of the paralyzed people.

There was an inexplicable weirdness in the whole incident, could it be that the cultivator of the Tao of Wishing who went astray did it?

But what happened to the mission message that "all the people of Gorim have died"?
