In the second half of the night, after a difficult day, everyone finally fell asleep and relaxed their tense bodies and nerves.

At eight o'clock the next morning, everyone was awakened by the ancient bell in the village.

Morning bells and evening drums are the rules in traditional temples. For devout places like Yingtai Village that worship gods, of course, the tradition is also followed.

"Everyone wake up, come out and breathe some fresh morning air, then let's enjoy a hearty breakfast together.

This is Yingtai Village’s special secret to nurturing the fetus.

Hey, you guys don't seem to be in high spirits."

Sister Jiang called all the players to their respective places to spend the night, looked at the bruises under their eyes, and asked with concern,

"Didn't you sleep well last night? Did you have a nightmare? I heard that people who have just come to our village sometimes have nightmares due to unfamiliar climate.

But it doesn’t matter, there must be a baby protecting you in your dream! Come, drink some of our refreshing flower and fruit tea to wake up your brain. "

When Fang Xiyu saw her bright red lips, he thought of the babies' blood, and his face became a little distorted.

The meal has not been served yet, but there is still smoke rising from the kitchen chimney. However, a pot of "flower and fruit tea" as Sister Jiang mentioned has been placed on the edge of the dining table.

In the bright red transparent liquid, there are dark red filaments floating up and down. The color is lighter than blood, and it sparkles with crystal clear luster in the morning sunlight.

The pot for flower and fruit tea is also made of fine crystal, and even the dining table is inlaid with brass edges, giving it an quaint and luxurious feel.

But who among the players dared to drink this? They all shook their heads and no one dared to touch it, except for Nakajima Hikaru.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he took a step forward, poured himself a full cup from the crystal pot, and drank it all in one greedy gulp.

I wanted to drink more, but Sister Jiang stopped me: "One cup is enough. We have to eat soon. Pay attention to your nutritional balance."

The others seemed not to care, but they were actually secretly observing Nakajima Hikaru. They saw that he did not have any adverse reactions after drinking it, and his face seemed to have become a little redder.

My vigilance towards breakfast was slightly reduced.

Because the game sends a reminder to players, everyone should enjoy breakfast and replenish their body nutrition.

Sister Jiang counted the number of people and found that two players were missing, but they were not the two she expected.

It was Xu Zhi and Xiao Ye Yingzi. When she saw that Zhang Qing and the other two were still there, her face froze for a moment:

"Did you two grow a companion seedling?!"

Sister Jiang herself knew, of course, that the so-called "seeds" were just capsules that preserved the player's blood. How could they really grow a little sacred tree?

Her face darkened dangerously.

Could it be that a ghost baby secretly helped the players last night?

There are only five pairs of players now, but there are six ghost babies, so one ghost baby will fail every night.

When I instructed them before, they quarreled for a long time about this. No one wanted to take a bye, and they almost came to blows with each other.

If there is a greedy person who gets a bye and dares to protect the players without the permission of the sacred tree, that would be tantamount to taking private work, which would be a very serious problem.

The one who was given a bye last night was the one with a scar on her ear. Her child...

Sister Jiang was just about to ask the other ghost babies where Scar-eared went last night, when she saw Zhang Qing rubbing his hands timidly:

"It was horrible last night. My wife and I hid here and there. The ground was full of blood-sucking vines. Later we met two seniors. Although they had passed away, their bodies were still protecting us. We used their bodies as shields. No, they protected us from the wind and rain. That's how we made it through the night."

The corner of Sister Jiang's mouth twitched. Not only Sister Jiang, but also the two people in Nakajima who were walking in front of her cast contemptuous glances at her.

Use other people's corpses as meat shields, the flesh and blood of the corpses can help them share the needs of the blood-sucking tree roots;

Moreover, the biggest bug of the ghost tree root is that it cannot be attacked. Once the player damages the sacred tree, he will also be hurt.

The stronger the player's attack is, the more disadvantaged he will suffer.

But if Zhang Qing hides here and there, moves around swiftly, and doesn't fight back at all, then the damage caused by the ghost tree roots to them will be relatively minimal.

I never thought that there would be people who could get through a C-level dungeon by being timid and sneaky.

Sister Jiang was skeptical, so in order to verify it, she went to the shrine alone through the small path behind the kitchen.

At this point, the ghost babies should all hand in the flesh and blood they received at the shrine.

Sure enough, several dirty things with big heads and small bodies were lined up to hand over their harvest of the night to the sacred tree father -

Their bodies were pierced by branches that stretched out from the sacred tree like blood vessels, and dark red blood flowed from their bodies to the sacred tree.

Most of them only had a little bit of health left, and they couldn't give up after handing in a few drops. After all, the players were more vigilant on the first night, and they hadn't established a mature dependence, so they couldn't be deceived.

But only one of them danced with its new arms and legs, feeling extremely proud. It contributed a whole bag of blood to the sacred tree father!

These are the babies in the group of Hikaru Nakajima and Hu Zi.

Thanks to the contribution of the deceased Xu Zhi, it not only ate its fill last night and grew a bit bigger, but also had some spare time.

Sister Jiang nodded at it with satisfaction, praised it a few words without being too serious, and then her eyes fell on the scarred ear.

The ugly scar on Scar Ear seemed even more hideous, and the whole ghost looked a little haggard, with sunken cheeks.

When the sacred tree stretched out its blood-sucking channel towards it, it tremblingly dragged out two shriveled human corpses from the grass behind it.

This means that it has no blood and can only contribute from the corpses it picks up.

Tsk tsk, Sister Jiang's eyes were immediately filled with disgust. This corpse was so useless that even it couldn't absorb anything, yet it was actually offered to the sacred tree.

But there was no way. A newlywed couple refused to have children from the beginning and were sent away. This resulted in a ghost baby being left out every night.

Having said that, Sister Jiang looked carefully at the bodies on the ground, and they were indeed the newlyweds.

This is consistent with what the player with the slicked-back hair said. Sure enough, they hid behind these two corpses for a whole night.

But that’s not right, there is also a ghost baby.

There should be six ghost babies, four of which were bewitching players last night.

Now the three groups following Nakajima Hikaru, Huo Fan and Su Qing are all here.

Scar Ear, who had a bye, was also there.

But what about the last one?

She returned to the kitchen with a worried look on her face.

The beggar in the village was busy in the kitchen. He was very attentive this morning and brought a lot of ingredients for making salad.

Except for the fortune cookies that had to be made by Sister Jiang herself, the salad, juice, fried meat and eggs were all made by the little beggar.

Sister Jiang checked and found that the fortune cookie had not been touched. She then explained a few words and was about to go find the player when the little beggar reached out to stop her:

"My wages are paid daily."

Sister Jiang:? ?

Rong Lele said seriously: "I want to find a wife and have children, so I need to save money."

The comments were so funny that people were laughing like crazy when they saw the boy ghost taking a large stack of cash from Sister Jiang in a serious manner.

"I'm guessing the boy went to the kitchen to drug everyone. After everyone was drugged, he hung them up and threatened them. Are you afraid there will be no flesh and blood?"

"+1, the boy is quite shady, he drugged her while collecting her wages."

What surprised the barrage was that after the little beggar served breakfast to the players, he also sat at the end of the big table with a small bowl in his hand.

He looked like he wanted to join everyone in eating.

Fang Xiyu pricked up his ears and listened to Xinsheng, and he really prayed in his heart, please, Boss Xinsheng, which dish here is problematic?

Then I heard the voice of my heart——

【Ah, this fried egg! 】

Fang Xiyu was stunned and almost dropped his chopsticks to the ground.

Huo Fan also looked solemn and signaled Su Qing opposite him not to touch the eggs.

Then I heard the voice continue——

[It's so delicious! Pure free-range eggs, fried to a crisp, just sprinkle some salt and black pepper on it and it's delicious. 】

A few people who heard the voice: ...
