Could it be that...this grassland and the market belong to these people?
Bai Mo didn't speak and didn't know what he was thinking.
"There is a risk of being eaten if you enter the tunnel now. This is for your safety."
Perhaps because he was afraid that some people would worry about his ulterior motives, the man in black explained, "Even if it is really a stupid decision to nourish this grass with corpses, at least until tomorrow morning, this matter cannot be changed."
"What do you mean by this?" Zhang Tao couldn't help but ask.
He had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Huh?" The man in black glanced at Bai Mo and said thoughtfully, "It seems they don't know..."
"Then I'll just tell you directly - this branch tunnel is alive, and it will eat people randomly every afternoon. Even I can't completely control it. If you don't want to die, stay here tonight. Do you understand?
?" he whispered.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area instantly became quiet.
Zhang Tao and others were horrified. They turned to look at the tunnel made of branches and the long queue in front of the tunnel, their hearts sinking little by little.
The tunnel is alive…
In other words...will anyone die in this long queue?
"This is a secret. Please keep your mouth shut. If it weren't for the need to exchange solutions, you would all be dead now."
Perhaps seeing some people's thoughts, the man in black gave a stern warning.
Bai Mo shook his head slightly and told the Zhang Tao brothers and sisters not to act rashly. The latter remained silent, which also meant that they had to watch others die.
Zhang Tao suddenly asked: "In other words, this grassland is actually your territory, and the market was created by you, right?"
"That's right." The man in black said, "You also need to keep this matter confidential."
"Then the purpose of creating the market is..."
"People will eat when they are hungry, and plants will also eat people when they are hungry. As you can imagine, one of the important purposes of creating a market is to collect food, all kinds of food? Including people."
The man in black told the cruelest truth in a calm tone.
"Crazy, you are simply crazy!"
Zhang Tao was furious. He didn't know the purpose of these guys, but there was no doubt that these guys deliberately used people to feed plants, and they undoubtedly had an extreme disregard for life!
In vain, he thought that the design of the market was very good. The tunnels were opened at intervals to prevent tailgating. Who knew that this tunnel was actually a tunnel that can eat people... When a person goes out and cannot see his relatives and friends, he will wait no matter what.
If not, how uncomfortable would it be?
The man in black said matter-of-factly: "We have never charged any fees for the opening of the market. This can be regarded as a small amount of interest."
"Besides, I have no time to argue pointlessly with you. I just need to wait until the matter is over tomorrow morning and then we can say goodbye."
It's time for him to set a date.
Bai Mo signaled Zhang Tao to calm down, and then said: "Although I know something about this kind of grass, you should still tell me the specific situation so that I can find a solution."
"That's natural. After all those guys have left, I will take you to dinner and tell you the details in the evening." The man in black said.
The time soon came to six o'clock.
Except for Bai Mo and the others, almost everyone has left the market through the branch tunnel, but it is unknown how many people have become food rations in the tunnel.
Whenever they think of this, Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu feel a little uncomfortable.
"Second brother, there are some sneaky guys over there, and they seem to be planning to stay here secretly." At this moment, someone pointed at several figures in the distance and said to the man in black.
"Just kill them, check them as usual, find out all the guys who want to stay, and then deal with them together." The man in black said indifferently.
The subordinates took the order and left with a few people.
Soon, a shrill scream came from the distance, which made people feel heart-stopping.
The man in black looked at the few people and said calmly: "There are unwritten rules in the market, that is, you cannot stay after the time is up. You should all know this. I am not going too far, right?"
The talisman stall owner was as silent as a cicada and did not dare to say anything.
Bai Mo didn't answer, but asked: "It should be dinner time now, right?"
The man in black was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's almost done, come with me."
He turned around and walked in a certain direction, while a group of subordinates walked at the back, closely monitoring Bai Mo and others to prevent them from making any small moves.
The grass was green on all sides, and I don't know how the man in black found the road. Not long after walking, he came to an open space. I don't know how to uncover a piece of turf on the ground, revealing a ladder leading underground.
This is an authentic entrance. The entrance is two meters wide, which is very wide.
"Although the probability is small, creatures in the restricted area may still visit here at night, so our residence is underground." The man in black explained.
It has to be said that after reaching an agreement with Bai Mo, he acted quite calmly and had no intention of hiding any of these secrets.
But Bai Mo knows very well that this may not be a good thing, because the other party may not be worried about them leaking the news——
After all, as long as everyone who knows the secret is killed afterwards, there is no need to worry about the secret being leaked, right?
Not long after, a sudden change occurred.
When going down the stairs, Zhang Rouzhu accidentally fell and let out a soft cry, but she reacted quickly and luckily she didn't fall.
Hearing the sound, the man in black suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Rouzhu was shocked by the sight.
However, the man in black did not answer her question, but said in an incomprehensible tone: "Woman?"
Bai Mo discovered that with the appearance of these two words, many of the people surrounding them began to breathe quickly, and some even let out strange laughter of "hehe".
——The meaning of laughter is self-evident.
"Why, have you never seen a woman before?" Zhang Rouzhu said coldly, trying not to show fear.
The man in black said: "Take off your hat and let me see."
"Why?"
"You just have to do it."
Zhang Rouzhu's heart tightened when she saw Bai Mo and Zhang Tao suddenly standing in front of her, asking the man in black, "What do you want to do?"
"We can't leave here, so we can only see people when the market is open every month."
The man in black said slowly, "...and I rarely see women."
Bai Mo understood what he meant and said coldly: "As long as your problems are solved, it won't be difficult for you to go out."
"That's for the future."
The man in black said, "You have to understand that we are not in a reciprocal trading relationship. If the problem is solved, you will live; if it cannot be solved, you will die... Your life and death are in my hands, do you understand?"
Now that everyone has gone underground, he finally has no scruples and directly expresses his thoughts.
Through the previous fight, he already had some understanding of Bai Mo's strength. Even if the opponent's strength was higher than his own, it would never be much higher.
After all, if the opponent is really that powerful, there is no need to compromise with them.
The other guy selling fake talismans should be an extraordinary person, but he's not that strong and shouldn't be feared.
In addition, the man and woman are a useless pair and cannot be of any use.
