After the aunt left, eight people sat at the table, each with their own thoughts, and no one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became delicate.

They looked at the food in front of them. The peculiar smell of meat was like a soft paw, scratching everyone's stomach that had been hungry for almost a day. Everyone had a somewhat hesitant expression on their faces that wanted to eat.

Even Ke Xu frowned slightly with a dignified expression.

They must eat rice, they will stay here for seven days, if this kind of meat is delivered every day, will they starve to death if they don’t eat it?But just now when the aunt was eating meat, she looked like a starved ghost reincarnated, and it was too scary, which made everyone feel anxious, so no one wanted to move the chopsticks first, and the eight people surrounded the table, just like that.

At this moment, a man in his forties with short hair and a Zhang Guozi face broke the silence. Ning Zishan remembered that his name was Jiang Xingfa. According to him, this is already his fourth copy .

Jiang Xingfa said: "We are really lucky this time, unexpectedly encountered such a simple task."

As soon as Jiang Xingfa finished speaking, another voice of doubt greeted him: "It's only been a day, how do you know this task is easy?"

The one who questioned him was a girl with short hair and glasses. Her name was Weng Ying.

Although Weng Ying's tone sounded a bit harsh, Jiang Xingfa was not angry, and he explained in a good temper: "Because I have experienced a mission similar to this dungeon before, it was in an old castle at that time, and the mission required It is also necessary to stay for a long time, although many terrible things happened in those few days, but as long as you listen to the NPC's warning and don't die, it is still very easy to live."

"So you mean that as long as we obediently obey the NPC, we can avoid all dangers?" Weng Ying doubted: "Is there such a simple thing?"

Just as Jiang Xingfa was about to speak, You Shiting's faintly sarcastic voice sounded first: "After only three dungeons, you think you're an 'old man'? It's ridiculous to dare to speak up and impart experience."

She snorted and continued: "Let me tell you, when you let your guard down to this world, you are already half dead. If you want to be happy, you can be happy when you really get out alive." She changed the subject and cast her eyes on Ke Xu, "Are you right, a handsome guy with a serious face from just now."

Ke Xu raised his pale eyelids and glanced at You Shiting, but didn't speak.

Ke Xu didn't speak, and You Shiting didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Ning Zishan who was sitting next to him with great interest, and smiled slightly.

Ning Zishan's heart skipped a beat when she laughed. Although this girl named You Shiting didn't say how many dungeons she had experienced when she introduced herself, judging from her words and previous behaviors, she should be with Ke Xu. Similarly, he also went through a lot of dungeons, so he took the initiative to talk to Ke Xu.

Even though Ke Xu has not had any outstanding performance so far, the aura emanating from him is still hard to ignore. It is not surprising that You Shiting would recognize him as an old player like herself.

You Shiting's words made Jiang Xingfa's face immediately become embarrassing. Instead of continuing to answer Weng Ying's words, he chose to shut up, and the whole dining room fell into silence again.

But this silence didn't last long before it was broken by a loud cry from Ren Daoyi's stomach.

Under the scrutiny of everyone, Ren Daoyi simply shrank his neck and said, "I'm hungry. I haven't eaten for almost a day. Aren't you hungry?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Sanqi 21, and directly picked up a piece of tender meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently. After chewing two bites, he immediately widened his eyes, showing an incredible expression, and said in surprise: "This meat ...It's so delicious! Fresh, tender and fragrant, it's definitely the best meat I've ever eaten!"

Ren Daoyi gulped down the meat, and before he swallowed it, he couldn't wait to pick the second piece, and the strong meaty aroma diffused in the air again.

"This meat doesn't seem to be a problem, why don't we eat it together?" It was a girl who shared the room with Weng Ying who spoke. What You Shiting said just now seemed to make her the backbone of the team. So while the girl was talking, she couldn't help but look at You Shiting with a questioning look.

You Shiting took another look at Ren Daoyi, who was eating non-stop, rolled her eyes and said, "Well, that's true, since the task is to wait until the celebration, there shouldn't be a big problem with the food, even if the dungeon wants us again Our fate will not wipe us out at the beginning."

Hearing what You Shiting said, and the fact that Ren Daoyi ate so much without incident, they all relaxed their vigilance, hooked by the smell of meat, and picked up their chopsticks one after another to start eating.

"Delicious!" Just after taking a bite, Jiang Xingfa's eyes flashed with joy. Although Weng Ying and her roommate didn't speak, the taste of the meat did satisfy them from their expressions.

So Ning Zishan also picked up the chopsticks. Seeing that Ke Xu didn't say anything, he first picked a piece of meat and put it into his bowl, and then picked up another piece himself. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, his abdomen suddenly felt hot. It was found that the smell of the meat had changed, it was no longer the gluttonous smell, but an indescribable fishy smell and a faint rancid smell, a bit like fish that had begun to deteriorate, but it was more difficult than the fishy smell. bear much more.

Ning Zishan's empty stomach suddenly churned, and he couldn't help holding the meat away with his chopsticks. After the meat left his mouth, the tantalizing smell of meat suddenly and miraculously returned.

Ning Zi frowned in wonder, and took the meat back, the stench came again.

But it seems that other people eat it very deliciously. Is it possible that I am the only one who can smell this strange smell?Ning Zishan thought with question marks all over his head, so what kind of situation is this?

Ke Xu picked up the meat that Ning Zishan picked out for him, and was about to eat it when he saw Ning Zishan frowned and picked the meat to his mouth for a while, then took it away, so he couldn't help but pat him and asked: "What are you doing?"

Ning Zishan turned to look at him with a pitiful expression: "Do you think this meat has a strange smell?"

"Strange smell?" Ke Xu wondered, "What kind of smell?"

"It's just..." Ning Zishan opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "There is a strange fishy smell."

Ke Xu picked up the meat and smelled it: "No, I only smell the smell of meat."

Ning Zishan lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's really my problem, as long as I want to eat it, I will smell a fishy smell, as if something is deliberately preventing me from eating it."

Ke Xu saw that he was troubled, so he simply asked him to put down his chopsticks, and then said: "Then don't eat it, it is something that makes people feel uncomfortable, so I don't eat it, so there is a plate of pickles, use it for dinner It's the same."

Ning Zishan nodded and put the meat aside.

You Shiting, who had always been on the sidelines, resolutely gave up eating meat after discovering that Ning Zishan and Ke Xu didn't eat meat, but started to eat the dish of pickles that didn't look very tasty, and went to eat with They eat white rice and pickles together.

To be honest, this pickle is not delicious, not only salty to bitter, but also has a strange smell of rotten vegetable leaves, coupled with the smell of meat in the air, it is really painful to eat, but if they don't eat it, they They could only eat white rice that had no taste at all, so the three of them bit the bullet and ate some.

But the remaining five people quickly ate up a pot of meat, not even letting go of the soup at the bottom of the pot, and finally Ren Daoyi even asked for the two pieces of meat that Ning Zishan and Ke Xu didn't eat In the past, there is still a feeling of unfinished business in the end.

After eating, Weng Ying noticed that Ning Zishan and the others did not eat meat, so she asked suspiciously.

You Shiting said that she was on a diet and could not eat meat, while Ke Xu said that she and Ning Zishan were vegetarians.

Weng Ying was obviously skeptical about their reasons, but said that the meat was really delicious, and it would be your loss if you didn't eat it.

You Shiting just laughed it off.

After dinner, the eight of them dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

Ning Zishan's room was the farthest from the dining room. On the way back, Ke Xu was obviously absent-minded.

"What are you thinking about?" Ning Zishan asked.

Ke Xu said: "There are many things, such as why the aunt told them not to go out at night, and the attitude of the people in this village towards us."

Regarding the attitude of the villagers towards them, Ning Zishan also felt that the people in this village were too enthusiastic towards them. Even if according to the village chief, this place is isolated from the world and has not seen strangers for a long time, but generally speaking, this kind of closed The villages in this village will have a certain degree of rejection of the outside world, not to mention that they are still wearing "outlandish clothes". The villagers don't feel strange or scared at all, but greet them with delicious food and drink. This is really not normal.

And the way the villagers looked at them was not so much curiosity, Ning Zishan felt that it was more like a desire.

Said that the two had already returned to their own room, and it was getting dark outside, Ning Zishan touched the match from the corner of the sky and lit the oil lamp on the table.

Although the oil lamp was a bit dirty, it was still quite bright when lit, but it still made Ning Zishan, who was used to the brightness of electric lights, feel uncomfortable.

After the two closed the door and sat down at the round table, Ning Zishan said: "By the way, when I first arrived in this village, I saw the villagers gathered in the open space at the entrance of the village. It seemed that they were having a meeting. All anxious."

As Ning Zishan said, he told Ke Xu what he saw secretly when he hid behind the bushes when he first arrived.

After listening, Ke Xu stroked his chin thoughtfully, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Why weren't you at the same place as us when you entered the game?"

This is also very strange for Ning Zishan, but if he played the game with Ke Xu and the others at the same place, maybe he wouldn't be able to spy on the villagers' meeting, and he wouldn't be able to overhear their intermittent quarrel.

"I always feel that our arrival seems to have solved a very difficult problem for these villagers." Ning Zishan said: "That's why they are so enthusiastic about us."

Ke Xu nodded in agreement and said, "Also, this mission should not be as simple as staying here for seven days."

After a while, Ke Xu asked Ning Zishan again: "During the meal just now, you said that the meat you smelled was stinky?"

"Yeah." Ning Zishan said: "I was like you at first, all I could smell was the smell of meat, but when I wanted to eat, my stomach suddenly became hot, and the meat gave off a disgusting stench. When it was removed, it changed back to the scent, and I don't know what happened."

"I didn't smell the smell, it's just that the smell of this meat made me feel terrible, but I thought it was delicious in my heart, and I couldn't help but want to eat it." Ke Xu said: "Recalling it now, the kind of meat that must be eaten The feeling disappeared again, if you hadn't stopped just now, I'm afraid I would be the same as Ren Daoyi and the others, unable to stop after one bite."

Ke Xu said that Ning Zishan felt empathy. He couldn't help recalling the scene of the meal delivery aunt eating meat with the five people on the table. Shi Ting didn't eat meat either, she didn't eat it, but deliberately said that to make other people eat meat, why?"

"Why do you think it is?" Ke Xu sneered: "She instinctively felt that there was something wrong with the meat, but she was not sure that there was really a problem, so she asked other people to act as guinea pigs for her, and when everyone ate it, there was no problem. , she will eat, at worst, she will end up eating rice with greed, which is nothing compared to her own life... This woman is probably not simple, unless necessary, you'd better not get in touch with her."
