The villain's daily corpse collection

When Wang Wei and Fairy Yunqiao walked out of the vast wheat field, it was already dawn outside.

"…We killed the monster, but this wheat field is too big. We walked around in it several times before we got out. This place is too spooky!"

Fairy Yunqiao talked about what happened last night with the people waiting outside. She couldn't help but folded her arms and shivered, "By the way, have you found the way into the village? You are not going to go through the wheat field again, are you? I don't want to go in again!"

She still had lingering fears about the wheat fields.

"Of course not." The girl sneered, "I don't know why a new road appeared this morning. It's right there—"

She pointed to the side and looked at the crisscrossing ridges in the vast fields. There were many paths and roads leading to the village they wanted to go last night.

Wang Wei: “…”

Last night, a group of monks used their magical powers to search, but there was no road. There was only the huge wheat field in front of them, which seemed as boundless as the sky in this secret realm.

Is it really because it was too dark that I couldn’t see the road?

Wang Wei was still thinking about last night’s fight against Taotie and the monsters in the wheat field. Are these experiences considered tests in the secret realm?

The voice that appeared in the secret realm before clearly said that the first level had ended. However, so many crises appeared at night without any warning. Was it an extra test deliberately added with bad intentions, or was there another purpose?

She really had no idea, so she took out the eyeball she picked up in the wheat field. The white of this eyeball was wide, and in contrast, the pupil was like a drop of unspread ink on snow-white rice paper, located in the very center, not leaning to any particular place.

The black pupil was very small, but it had a strong presence. No matter which side it turned, the black pupil would look straight ahead - that is, the person holding the eyeball. Although it was a dead object, being stared at by an eyeball for a long time would inevitably make one feel uneasy.

This was the monster's original pupil. Among so many eyeballs, only this one was its own. Last night, Wang Wei discovered a clue and brought it back in his arms.

I don't know what this thing is used for, I'll find out later. Wang Wei was thinking about writing a talisman to call Huo Feng over, when he heard a shout from not far away: "The Taotie has turned into ashes, it seems that you have dealt with it properly -"

It was the voice of the junior sister of Congshan Sect. Wang Wei looked up and saw Huo Feng waving at him.

"How was your last night?" Wang Wei asked first.

Huo Feng nodded and replied, "Last night was very good. The Taotie struggled four times, but we suppressed it every time. Fortunately, there are four of us, and each of us presided over the formation at a time, so the loss of each person was not too great. Master, you seem to be missing one person."

"Liang Mo is dead." Nv Ku interrupted, "He is a loser who only knows how to run away. If he doesn't die now, he will die later. There is no need to worry about him."

Her tone was cold, and she seemed to regret bringing Liang Mo into the secret realm. This was the person chosen by His Royal Highness Prince Qing, so she had to obey.

Wang Wei shrugged and didn't say anything. Huo Feng frowned slightly after hearing this, but didn't say anything.

After everyone reunited, they began to chat in groups, exchange information and so on.

After experiencing the trapped beast plan last night, Huo Feng understood the personalities of the three people who stayed with him. He relayed his observations to Wang Wei truthfully.

The pink-robed female monk, named Ming Hao, was quiet but powerful, and had a close relationship with the faceless female monk who was wearing a veil. She was either a casual cultivator or an unknown person in the Xuanmen sect.

"The one you are talking about is Fairy Yunqiao. The relationship between the two of them is very obvious, but Yunqiao's identity is still uncertain. Last night, she went on an adventure with me. Judging from her behavior, she is not a malicious person." Wang Wei added.

"That's good." Huo Feng nodded and said, "I feel that the brothers and sisters from Congshan Sect are pretty good people. They knew the danger, but they took the initiative to stay, and later they also made a lot of efforts. Congshan Sect and Tianhe Sect are both located in the mountains and forests, but they are all elite disciples. Compared with the social customs of Lin'an Palace, they have real talents and knowledge. I talked to them about some old stories of Xuanmen, and found that they did not agree with this kind of elite practice style..."

In just a few hours, Huo Feng and his fellow brothers and sisters went from strangers to comrades who had experienced life and death together, and established a slightly deeper friendship.

Making friends is not a bad thing. At least in the secret realm, everything can develop into a help.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. As the master and his disciple were chatting, the brother and sister approached.

"Master Mo, I am Jian Sui, the disciple of the fifth elder of Congshan Sect, and this is my junior sister—"

"Master Mo, my name is Le Zhi. When I saw you use your ultimate move earlier, I was really shocked and amazed!"

Junior sister Le Zhi interrupted her senior brother and came to Wang Wei, "I still remember that when we met before, you were wearing a mask. I didn't expect that you had such a beautiful face under the mask! Master Mo, can I call you Sister Mo? I heard that you are Master Huo's master, but judging from your appearance, you seem to be about the same age... Ouch, who is picking my clothes——"

"When will you calm down?" Senior Brother Jian Sui shook his head helplessly, hooked Le Zhi's collar with one finger, and pulled her back to his side. Then he bowed and looked at Wang Wei, "I'm really sorry, Junior Sister's personality is really..."

"It's okay," Wang Wei raised the corners of his lips and looked gently at Le Zhi who was making faces at his senior brother, "Isn't it time to be energetic at this age? It's a good thing that a young girl is energetic and vigorous."

"I told you! I told you, Sister Mo understands me! Humph, it turns out that we women understand women the best. You men are so boring. I won't stand with you."

Le Zhi moved forward and said, "Please make way!" She pushed Huo Feng aside and grabbed one of Wang Wei's arms.

Huo Feng was at a loss for words at this sudden action of Le Zhi. He hadn't even hugged his master's arm yet. This little girl was really...

Wang Wei did not resist. After all, this little girl's compliments were very pleasant to hear, and her whole person exuded a mischievous temperament, which was quite interesting.

Xue Ji tried to join in several times, but was stopped by his brother Xue Bo.

"We have a mission to accomplish. Even though we are on the same side, we cannot trust each other directly. I always feel that the white-haired woman is not simple. It is better to be careful."

Although they are twins who look almost identical, Xue Ji does not understand his brother's groundless suspicion. He can only look deeply at the people who are standing in the sun and chatting with smiles on their faces, and sighs deeply.

After a break in information exchange, Yu Xuanzi interrupted the conversation.

"Next, let's go to the village behind. There doesn't seem to be anything else outside except spiritual plants, spiritual stones, and some spiritual beasts." Yu Xuanzi suggested. An Wanshan lowered his head beside him, not knowing what he was thinking.

"We have almost collected everything we need. The climax is yet to come, so we naturally have to move on." Nükui said.

The pink-robed female monk and the Cloud Bridge Fairy talked privately, which eased their emotions after the shock of last night, and they nodded and agreed to continue walking.

Wang Wei and the others had no objection. Xue Bo and Xue Ji also nodded without saying much.

An entire secret realm day passed, and Liang Mo, who represented the forces of King Qing, and Fei Lan, the clan elder who represented the forces of the Yangyue An family, both died.

Nukui expressed disgust but still put Liang Mo's severed arm into the package.

After discussing it, everyone checked the things they took away from the secret realm and officially entered the second level.

The group walked onto the path through the field. The wheat field finally stopped looking scary in the sun. Although the wheat was tall and full, it was not as endless as imagined. There were houses all around. Not only was there a wheat field, but there was also a large area of ​​golden daylilies. It was pitch dark last night, and I thought it was also a wheat field.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Seeing this, everyone gradually relaxed a little.

Walking to the end of the field, in front of you, there are peasant women drying various types of mushrooms picked from the mountains, and children chasing and playing with domestic hunting dogs on the ridge of the field. It is a harmonious and beautiful scene.

There were also men who went into the mountains and hunted wild animals and returned with a full load, and the neighbors all came out to watch.

"What is that? It should be an ordinary wild animal, not a spiritual beast, right?" Le Zhi asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but it certainly doesn't look like a spiritual beast." Senior Brother Jian Sui responded.

"This is a pheasant... I didn't expect you to be so uncaring. Even if you haven't seen it, you must have eaten it." Nüku was speechless for a moment.

"Neither have I. We don't eat meat." Le Zhi looked at Nu Ku eagerly.

"...Then you are here. This is just an ordinary pheasant, not a spiritual beast." Nüku was too lazy to reply and walked to the front of the team.

"It's okay. If she ignores you, I will. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I, Xue Ji, will tell you everything I know."

Xue Ji had been staying with his brother Xue Bo for too long and was almost sick, and he always wanted to find someone to talk to.

"...I don't want to talk now." Le Zhi curled his lips and ran back to Wang Wei.

Xue Ji: “…Huh?”

Several people were chattering about the prey, and their voices were so loud that all the villagers looked at them.

Although it was normal for outsiders to watch and wait when they came to the village, Wangwei still felt an unknown aura watching him.

She gently tugged at Huo Feng's sleeve, trying to send a message, but found that this method was ineffective here.

"Eavesdropping." Wang was worried that someone would eavesdrop on their conversation, so he just mouthed the words.

"Master, are you feeling unwell?" Huo Feng understood, so he cooperated, and then naturally pried Le Zhi away from Wang Wei's body.

Seeing that the atmosphere was quite tense, Le Zhi did not dare to get too excited, so she just walked aside obediently and kept silent.

"Yes, I have a stomachache." Wang Wei performed.

She squatted on the ground, quietly wrapped the eyeball she had collected with mud, slowly stood up, put her hands behind her back and quietly bounced the eyeball onto a roof. Huo Feng gently stroked her back, blocking everyone's view.

"Masters of Taoism also get stomachaches?" Xue Ji couldn't help but interrupt, but Xue Bo pulled him over and gave him a warning look.

"After all, he is just a monk." The female monk passed by and spoke in a low voice with a hint of sarcasm.

She had endured these people from Prince Qing's faction for a long time last night. Especially the twin brothers, whom she had met many times in the Imperial Capital before. She had wanted to kill Liang Mo and frame the two stupid brothers under Prince Xian, but she didn't expect Liang Mo's death to be too strange, and she couldn't make a connection, so she had to give up.

There is still time for the journey to the secret realm, and if you really want to do something, you will still have time by then.

"...Okay, stop talking." Yu Xuanzi looked at the villagers on both sides of the road who were secretly observing them. Just as he was about to step forward to ask about the situation, all the villagers jumped into the house like mice hiding, moving very quickly. All he heard was the sound of "bang bang" and doors closing one after another.

There was no one on either side of the paths, only a miserable and bleak wind blowing the fallen leaves away into the distance.

All cultivators: "..."

It was as if the newcomers were a flood or a monster, and now everyone was scared away.

Wang Wei felt that the gaze came from the villagers. There was something wrong with one of them. He might be the hidden gatekeeper of the second level. He seemed to be observing everyone's every move in the dark.

The wind blew, the wheat waves rolled one after another, and the sun was blocked by heavy clouds.

"Look, there is a stone tablet here. There seems to be some words engraved on it." Le Zhitian was fearless and found an inconspicuous stone tablet in a corner some distance away from everyone.

As she spoke, she brushed away the dust on the stone tablet with her hand, "Wumazi Village. Is this the name of this village? Why is it so inconspicuous?"

"Five pockmarks? What does that mean?" Xue Ji asked in confusion, "I just saw the villagers nearby, and they don't have any pockmarks on their faces."

"It doesn't mean that pockmarks must be on the face. Maybe it has other special meanings. But this five, a number, why not observe things related to five first." Wang Wei looked at the dilapidated stone tablet with gray marks and thought with his head down.

"Maybe our scene is too scary. Minghao and I will go and ask about the situation first. It's best for everyone to disperse."

Although two people were dead, at least they were in pairs. Although Nuku was used to being alone, she felt desolate at this moment. Everyone had their own faction label behind them, and forming an alliance with anyone would only mean having to be on guard against more people.

"I see you're alone, do you want to join us?" Wang Wei walked over with a smile, and Nuwei looked at the master and disciple in confusion.

"Why choose me?"

"Didn't I tell you? You are alone. In a place like this, the more people there are, the safer it is..." Wang Wei persuaded, "You are a smart person. You should not be afraid of forming an alliance with others. Anyway, you won't suffer any loss. I think the underworld is very evil. There is strength in numbers."

Nükui didn't expect that the people from Prince Qing's faction would take the initiative to seek cooperation with her, especially the most powerful one among them.

However, she changed her mind and realized that she already had a mission assigned by His Highness and she had not been exposed yet. It was not a bad thing for the target to approach her actively. What the other party said was also true. She would not suffer any loss because of this. Being close to them would also make it easier to monitor their every move. Everything was just right.

"Okay, I'll join you."

Nükui stretched out her hand to show her friendliness, but Wangwei only smiled in response, so she had to withdraw her hand.
