Douluo: I become stronger when I take in disciples!

Chapter 174 Are all the villagers dead?
"Xiaolan, did you find the antidote this time?" a young man asked.

"Why look for an antidote? I actually think it's pretty good to live forever like this," said an old man.

"That's right, it's like being a god and never getting old. Isn't that good?" said another old man.

"You are already old, it would be nice if you could live forever, but we are still young."

"That's it!"

"."

They were arguing in a flurry.

It seems that some people still like this.
"Okay, stop arguing. I bought a lot of candles for you." Mulan said.

"Great, I can play chess with Old Sun again, so he won't cheat in the dark."

"."

The candles were distributed.

Mulan picked up her sister Mutong and took Feng Yang and others back to her home.

Living room in the middle, bedrooms on both sides.

A very regular rural house.

"I'm sorry, because they don't need water or food, so there is no water or food at home."

"Forehead"

"No water, no food? Wouldn't that be like being a god?" Hu Liena said in surprise.

"That's not necessarily true. The dead don't need to drink water or eat." Yan said.

"."

"Sister, if we don't need to eat or drink water, does that mean we're dead?" Mu Tong suddenly took over the conversation.

That soft expression of a five or six year old child seemed to be a little sad.

After all, Yan still had some kindness in his heart, so he quickly changed his words.

"Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue. I just feel that living in such a dark place, how can one be a god?"

"."

have to say.

Yan, who seemed a little simple-minded, hit the nail on the head.

Mulan looked gloomy, and still did not argue with Yan.

"That's right, the dead don't need to eat or drink water. At first, I didn't believe it, until I experienced the incident with the Lord of Shasaqiu City."

Several people looked at her.

The story finally came out of her mouth.

"Many years ago, there was an earthquake, and our village was the epicenter of the earthquake. A hole was torn in the east, and that hole frequently emitted this black fog, which filled the village. At first, the villagers didn't care, thinking that the black fog would slowly dissipate in the air, and at least it wouldn't affect their lives. Unexpectedly, the black fog seemed to condense and covered our village. Since then, the whole village has become darker and thicker. Most people in the village found something wrong and chose to leave the village. So, this is why there are so few people in the village now."

"."

"."

"and then?"

"Then, those who left the village died inexplicably, as if they were cursed. I was studying martial arts outside at the time, and I discovered this when I came back. I was shocked at the time. Mu Tong's father and mother also died outside because they went out to find a way to save the village. Later, everyone knew that as long as they didn't go out, they wouldn't die. As for me, because I had just returned not long ago, everyone in the village advised me to leave quickly. I thought it was useless to stay here, so I went out to find a solution for everyone and find an antidote."

"and then?"

"Then I would come back every few months and stay no longer than five hours at a time. This was the conclusion many villagers came to based on their experience of death. If you stayed in the village for more than five days, or even stayed overnight, and then left the village the next day and were exposed to the black fog, you would die."

"and then?"

"And I also discovered that the villagers not only don't need to eat or drink water, but even their appearance is fixed. After a few years, there has been no change. This is why I call the girl at the door "brother" because she is older than me."

"what"

"My sister." Mulan looked at Mutong lovingly, "She looks like a five or six-year-old girl, but in fact, she is already fifteen or sixteen years old. It's just that she hasn't grown any size over the years."

"This"

"City Lord." Mulan looked at Feng Yang. "If I remember correctly that year, the City Lord of Shasaqiu City died because he stayed here for too long in search of the Shennong Ding. He could not resist the invasion of Yin Qi, but after his death, he was locked by the black Qi again. Then, the God of Summoning infused him with the same black Qi, which made him wake up again."

Hear this.

Right!
Feng Yang finally understood.

"It can be said that when the black fog spread out, anyone who stayed in the black fog for too long had already died once."

"You can say that." Mulan nodded.

"Ah," Mu Tong's face was filled with sadness, "So we are not gods, but ghosts, ghosts who have died once."

"."

"."

That soft and cute little appearance was really heartbreaking. Feng Yang looked at her, picked her up by the waist, and placed her on his lap.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"No, Master." Hu Liena took over the conversation, "She looks only five or six years old, but she is actually fifteen or sixteen. It's not good for you to hug a girl like this."

"Uh."

"It doesn't matter. Brother is handsome and I like to be hugged by him." said Mutong.

A few people: “Uh”

You don’t want to marry Feng Yang too, do you?

You are so small, can you fit in?

Obviously.

Having lived here for so many years, Mu Tong has long been accustomed to it and there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

"Okay, then brother will hold you all the time." Feng Yang said.

"Brother has been holding me, so let's stop. If you stay here for too long, you won't be able to get out." Mu Tong said.

"."

"City Lord." Shuangluo took over the conversation, "Shenlong said that we should solve the source. I think it is the source of the black fog. But if we solve it, without the black fog, the people in this village..."

"."

"."

Feng Yang also raised his eyes.

is not that right?

Without the black fog, the people in this village will die!

No one can escape.

I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Suddenly.

He seemed to see a falling shadow in the black fog.

And that shadow seemed to belong to Mu Tong.

Is it the soul?
Even more exaggerated.
When he looked at Mulan's body, her soul seemed to be pulled, as if it was about to escape from her body.

He stood up immediately.

"Mulan, you may not be able to stay here any longer. You come back here from time to time, even though it's intermittent, but it seems that you are almost reaching your limit."

"Ah?" Mulan was surprised.

"I have a way." Feng Yang said.

"any solution?"

"My understanding is that because of this black fog, your souls have left your bodies. Within this range, you will not die. But once you leave the range of this black fog, just imagine, how can a person without a soul survive?" Feng Yang said.

"."

"."

"."

Several people's eyes lit up.

It seems to be true.

"I have a magical herb here, the Soul-Fixing Herb."

This grass was naturally picked from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Because he was quite particular, he picked one for himself.

"Maybe, I can integrate the soul back into the body, and in this way, I can resolve the crisis here." Feng Yang said.

"Really? Really?" Mulan couldn't believe it.

"Now we can only try. It all depends on you, the people of your village. You decide."

"."

Mulan fell into deep thought, looking at her sister in front of her.

This will be an experiment. Whether it succeeds or not, it will cost you your life.
If other villagers were asked to do this experiment
"Sister, actually, I don't want to stay here anymore. I can only sit in this dark environment every day and can't do anything. I am willing to give it a try."

　Yang Qianyu is the protagonist of my new Douluo book "Douluo: I Founded an Academy and Started as Extreme Douluo".

　　It's just to make it easier to confuse the main characters' names when writing them together, there's no other reason.

　　Brothers who have time can go and read it. It is also a very enjoyable novel.
