The handsome man spread his hands, gave Lan Tiao a helpless look, and said: "I don't know this either. You need to try it yourself. Just keep standing here, stretching your hands out from time to time, and counting the time to see how long it will take you. Leave the miasma range and wait until the next time you go in, you still have to stay for this long before you can come out."

Lan Tiao said: "Thank you for telling me this."

The handsome man smiled and said: "You're welcome, do you have any questions?"

Lan Tiao said: "Yes, I occasionally heard someone talking about some kind of sacrificial group... What is that?"

The handsome man replied: "Metta Swamp... is a very mysterious and weird place. Under normal circumstances, only some monsters and spiritual plants live in the swamp. However, there are two abnormalities in Metta Swamp. The first abnormality The situation is that a sacrificial group suddenly appears in the swamp. The characteristic of this group is that everyone has a teardrop-shaped mark between their eyebrows. Any cultivator who sees the sacrificial group, no matter how powerful, will fall into the hands of the sacrificial group... …Never came out of the swamp again.”

Lan Tiao heard the unreasonableness in the man's words and wondered: "According to what you said, the cultivators who have seen the sacrificial tribe are all dead or missing, so how do you know the information about the sacrificial tribe?"

The handsome man curled his lips and said: "Just like what we are now, you are standing in the miasma and I am standing outside the miasma. If a group of people from the sacrificial tribe suddenly come, they will only take you away, but they cannot take me away... One characteristic of the sacrificial tribe is that they can only see people standing in the miasma. When I stand outside, they can’t see me or hear my voice.”

"That's it." Lan Tiao nodded.

The handsome man added: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Please listen quietly. There is another abnormal situation in Metta Swamp, which is even more dangerous... There will be a particularly sacred and beautiful [person] in it. Let's call it [person]." 】Well, each of them looks kind and bright, so they are named [Metta Clan] by us. When the Metta Clan appears, all the miasma in the entire swamp territory will be transformed into a pale white mist, which looks like The misty clouds in the sky. In addition, anyone who sees the Metta Clan will fall into extreme madness! For example, I am standing outside the forest now, but if the fog in the forest turns white, I will involuntarily rush into the forest. This At that time, my consciousness was still clear, but I couldn't control my steps at all. I would take the initiative to walk into the swamp and let my body sink and sink... The sticky swamp swallowed my body and gradually brought me down. I felt suffocated, but I never struggled. Until I was on the verge of death, I seemed to have come to the other side of Metta Swamp. As for what is on the other side, I have never seen it... Do you understand what I mean?"

Lan Tiao shook her head: "What you said is too confusing. I don't understand what you are talking about..."

Hearing this, a hint of impatience flashed across the handsome man's face, and then he felt that maybe he really hadn't explained it clearly, so he added: "For example, Ciguang Swamp is like an empty house with weeds growing in it. , there are a bunch of animals living in the house, and we people are the thieves who go to the house to look for treasures, do you understand?"

Lan Tiao said: "Understood."

"For example, there is a well and a lake in the house. Under normal circumstances, these two places are relatively safe. However, a group of people will occasionally run out of the well. This group of people is the sacrificial tribe. They will capture everyone who is in the house. The thieves who steal in the well... You can understand that there is an independent and complete world under the well. The sacrificial tribe will live in the world at the bottom of the well most of the time, but occasionally they will come up to arrest people. After they have caught enough, they will return The underground world...understand, right?"

Lan Tiao nodded: "Understood."

The handsome man said "hmm" and added: "As for the Ci Guang tribe, they live in the lake... This metaphor is wrong. The Ci Guang tribe should live under the swamp. Their method of arresting people is more weird than the sacrificial tribe. The tribe just takes away people's bodies by force, but the Metta tribe will bewitch humans and make them jump into the swamp and sink..."

At this point, the handsome man looked frightened and said: "I know the situation of the Metta Clan because I have a blood relative with whom I share vision and emotions. I happened to be imprisoned by the city lord back then. My blood relative happened to be exploring the Ci Guang Swamp, and unfortunately met a Ci Guang tribesman. Then, he fell into the swamp little by little. At the same time, I was also affected. I lost all my sanity and wanted to rush out crazily. I left the cell and sank into the swamp... Later, when I regained consciousness and recalled the past, I became frightened. At that time, I was covered in blood and flesh. I rushed out of the cell at all costs, but was intercepted by more than 20 guards. They saw me at that time. I looked crazy, thinking I was pretending to be crazy and wanted to escape from prison, so I was beaten up, but it just stopped me from dying... Today is the death anniversary of my blood relative, and I just burned paper money for him nearby. , I didn’t expect to meet you by chance.”

Lan Tiao was not very good at comforting others, and he found that there was not much sadness on the handsome man's face, so he only said the word "sorrow".

But the handsome man smiled and said: "I'm not sad. I'm willing to tell you so much because I want to make a deal with you~"

The final sound of the last word rose, and anyone could hear the relaxed excitement in his words.

Lan Tiao asked: "What deal?"

The handsome man smiled maliciously, "The skill I practice is called [The Demonic Skill of Changing Heart and Blindness]. The essence of this magical skill is to constantly trade with others. The method of trading... is very simple. As long as a practitioner takes the initiative Talk to me, and as long as I reply, it's a transaction... The more I answer, the more things I can trade away from you, including at this moment, I'm still answering your questions... Now, I want to In exchange for the most precious thing in your heart."

"You..." Lan Tiao's face was full of astonishment. She thought she had met a kind person, but she didn't expect that the other person had other plans.

And most importantly...dealing with people?Is there such a weird skill in this world?

Can you become stronger by trading with others?

Lan Tiao's body uncontrollably took out an amulet from her arms and threw it out of the range of the miasma forest.

This miasma only prevents Lan Tiao from leaving, but it does not prevent dead objects from leaving the miasma forest.

The handsome man took the amulet and asked with doubt on his face: "What is this, a spiritual weapon?"

Lan Tiao said angrily: "Give it back to me!"

"This is already my thing." The handsome man opened the amulet and found that it contained several... hairs?

These hairs are very ordinary, without any aura of spiritual energy fluctuations.

"Is this the most precious thing you have?"

"How many broken hairs?"

The handsome man turned the amulet inside and out, and found that there was indeed only this little thing in the amulet, and nothing else. Moreover, the amulet looked very ordinary. Although it was washed very clean, the color was old and should be a bit old. It's the end of the year.
