Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife

After a while, there was no longer any shadow of the evil spirit visible in the calming lens. Zhang Shi led everyone towards the cemetery.

"It turns out that this evil spirit is very weak. It can't even withstand an axe. It's not as good as those wild beasts."

"I'm telling you, I just struck an ax..."

Zhao Feng proudly showed off his achievements, and the fear he felt just now completely disappeared.

Ge Dalong finally relaxed and smiled.

“People are always afraid of the unknown, and only after they really come into contact with it and defeat it do they realize that’s all it is.”

Wu Qing followed the team and kept staring at the system panel, apparently studying something. Zhang Shi stopped and patted her shoulder.

"What are you looking at?"

Wu Qing looked up with a puzzled expression.

"There's something wrong with the experience value. We killed dozens of monsters this time, but the experience bar only increased by a little more than half. I looked at the experience value of each monster. They were all only 15, which was lower than last time. The copy is even lower.”

Zhang Shi also noticed something was wrong when he heard what Wu Qing said. He has reached level 7, and his experience bar is as high as 3,000 points. It is reasonable that the experience value has not changed much, but others are still at level 6. After killing so many monsters, it stands to reason that they should have upgraded.

"This copy is of rare level, why is the experience value so low?"

Ge Dalong heard the conversation between the two, and used his mysterious identification method to check the copy information, and started talking about it while checking it.

"The experience value of monsters in the Village of Doubt decreases with the expansion of team members. If you challenge it alone, you can gain 50 experience points by killing ordinary monsters, and so on, 40, 30, 20, 15..."

Zhao Feng interrupted.

"Aren't there just four of us? Logically speaking, we can get at least 20 experience points. How come we only get 15 experience points for killing a monster? Is there a bug in this system that puts us in the five-person team level?"

Zhang Shi suddenly remembered the scene he saw underground, his face was solemn, and he used his steadiness to carefully check his surroundings, but found nothing unusual.

Seeing Zhang Shi's appearance, Zhao Feng also reacted and angrily picked up the flint ax and swung it at his side.

"What the hell, stop pretending to be a fool. If you have the ability, come out and challenge me. See if I can trick you. That's it."

Zhang Shi realized that he was entangled by that strange existence, and he had no way to counter it.

"Soldiers will block it, water will cover it and earth will cover it. Don't worry about it for now, the mission is important."

The mysterious fifth person could not be seen or touched, and no one could do anything about him. They had to stay on guard at all times and attend to other important matters first.

The four of them returned to the cemetery, and what they saw were the dug coffins.

"There are so many empty coffins, where have all the corpses gone? They have transformed into zombies, right?"

Hearing Zhao Feng's muttering, Zhang Shi remembered the information he got from identifying the black tiger for the first time and had some guesses in his mind.

The four of them took action and searched everywhere in the cemetery. After struggling for a long time, they still found nothing. There was no trace of the so-called secret room at all.

Zhang Shi squatted on the ground, wiping his sweat while looking at the tombstone in front of him.

This tomb has been dug up without exception. The tombstone is very weathered, with pits and some damage on the surface, but the writing on it can be vaguely seen:

"The Tomb of Huo Youming"

Zhang Shi noticed that the owners of all the tombs in this cemetery were named Huo, and he expected that the majority of people in this village should have the surname Huo.

When everyone saw Zhang Shi squatting on the same spot, they gathered together and planned to take a short rest.

Wu Qing took out a tablecloth and spread it on the ground, took some food and distributed it to everyone, which reminded Zhang Shi of the picnic scene during the spring outing.

Although having a picnic in this cemetery was a bit eerie, everyone was used to it. In addition, it was already noon, so a few people didn't pay much attention to it. They sat cross-legged on the ground to eat and drink.

"Hey, it's really unlucky to get this name, Huo Youming, which sounds homophonic to Netherworld. I really don't know what this person's parents think."

Zhao Feng was speechless, and when he saw the tombstone in front of him, he made a casual joke.

Zhang Shi's movements suddenly froze, he even forgot to chew the panel in his mouth, and turned to look at Ge Dalong.

Ge Dalong also thought of the key to the matter and read it word by word.

"Depths of the Netherworld!"

Zhang Shi threw away the bread and stood up.

"This is it."

After walking around the tombstone twice, Zhang Shi still found nothing wrong. He and Ge Dalong had conducted carpet-like appraisals of the area countless times, but still found nothing.

"In the depths of the netherworld, we should be asked to dig a hole, but this man's grave has already been dug."

Zhao Feng said something casually, but Zhang Shi thought it was quite reasonable. He took out the shovel from his backpack and started to break ground.

Wu Qing quickly stopped him.

"Isn't this good? This is someone's resting place, and the place is so evil. If you dig graves like this, something might happen."

Zhao Feng also took out a shovel and started digging a hole near the coffin.

"If there are too many lice, don't be afraid of them. We are already entangled by an unclean thing, so why do we care about one more. Besides, I just want it to show up so that it can have a taste of my big axe."

Seeing that Zhao Feng had already started, everyone no longer had any scruples and started digging holes together.

The attributes of the several people were not low, and they were very efficient at work. In addition, the soil of this cemetery was relatively soft. Not long after, the four of them dug a large pit about five or six meters deep nearby.

"Boom!"

Zhang Shi's shovel in his hand trembled, and he realized that he had dug up something hard. Wu Qing quickly took out a small shovel and began to dig carefully in the direction of Zhang Shi. After a few shovels, the thing underneath came to light. It turned out to be a stone artifact with patterns carved all over it.

Zhang Shi immediately identified it, but Ding Zhen could only show a bright outline, and did not get detailed information about the item.

Several people continued to dig carefully, and after a while, the thing below finally revealed its true appearance.

"It's a coffin."

"No, it's a coffin!"

Ge Dalong said in a deep voice, with a hint of surprise in his tone. Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled, he explained.

"To put it simply, the outer coffin is a large coffin placed outside the coffin. Ordinary people don't need this thing for funerals. Judging from the patterns on it, the person buried inside is probably from a prominent background."

Zhang Shi calmed down and didn't know whether to continue digging.

It was extremely strange to find another tomb under someone else's tomb. At the moment, judging from the appearance of this coffin, the origin of the buried person is probably extraordinary. If something unexpected happens, it may cause a lot of trouble for several people.

"The shadows are confused in the depths of the netherworld. Didn't the couplet tell us what's inside? At best, it's just some evil spirits. What are you afraid of? Come and help, and start digging."

Zhao Feng still looked fearless and continued to dig down along the perimeter of the coffin, preparing to expand the space around it to facilitate everyone's movement.
